Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

Just after the Spring Festival, Jia Huan packed up and went to the Guozijian. The Guozijian in Beijing was first established for ten years in Yuan Dade, but the previous dynasty was exhausted. Later, because of the old system of the previous dynasty, the ancestors repaired the Guozijian. There are Jijiu, Siye, Jiancheng, doctor, teaching assistant, Xuezheng, Xuelu, and books. Every year, students who have completed their studies can participate in the department, and those who offer wine to the imperial court will go to the Ministry of Rites.

It can be said that anyone who enters the Imperial College is no longer an ordinary person, and it is precisely because of this that Jia's people dare not step on Jia Huan.There are 60 students in Guangwen Hall, 50 students in Simen Hall, Dongdu students in Guozijian Middle School, 20 students in Luxue, no more than [-] students in Law, [-] in Calligraphy, and [-] students in Mathematics, which all students should learn.

This is the fifth year since the new emperor ascended the throne, the two sides of the Hongqiao are colorful, not to mention the bustling scene on the side of the street, the new bookboys frequently look outside, Jia Huan has always been trained by his side, but this one Those who have just taken office still seem to be a bit childlike. Because of the names of Chun Geng and others, the new book boy is naturally called Wu Xiaogu, and the Imperial College is located next to the Lama Temple.

Because it was the day when the students entered school, the doorway was bustling with activity early in the morning, and when they arrived at the place, there were people with palm prints at the doorway, Wugu immediately found Jia Huan's pen and handed it over, and the other party took a look at it and tapped on it After getting a seal, he was released, and when he got to the ground, Wu Xiaogu said: "On weekdays, there are not many people who study in school, most of them are under the name, and there are a few people who like to socialize and often come to school."

After hearing this, Jia Huan nodded and went in along the main road in the middle. Soon after entering the gate, there was Jixian Gate. After entering the gate, there were pavilions on the left and right sides of the gate. It is the gate of Taixue, and inside the gate is the glazed archway with the emperor's imperial inscription on the banner.There were really not many people coming and going, and it seemed that there were forty or fifty people. They walked directly to the middle lobby, and Jia Huan naturally followed. When he entered the door, he found that there were tables and chairs inside, which were different from most private schools today. The place here is much shorter, and there are no stools, only a straw mat and a soft cushion. He found one in the corner, and knelt down like others.

After a while, a person who was wearing a third-rank official uniform, who should be the middle school sacrificial wine, came to the upper seat, rang the small bell beside him, waited for everyone to be quiet, and then began to give lectures.It seems that all gentlemen like to talk about college first, and so does this one.

"The way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to Ming, and in stopping at the ultimate good. After knowing and stopping, there is steadiness, after steadiness, you can be calm, when you are still, you can be peaceful, when you are peaceful, you can worry, and after you worry, you can get. Things have their beginnings and ends, and if you know what comes first, then you will get the shortest way.” The sacrificial wine on the top shook his head and recited it once, then ordered the people below him to recite it 120 times, and left after he left, and the students beside him were all sparse , Some changed their kneeling position to a sitting position, some ordered the people below to take out the snacks, and occasionally greeted each other, and made an appointment to go to the restaurant together after school.

Because Jia Huan was young, others ignored him. He carried the book and recited it 120 times according to the instructions of sacrificial wine.Sure enough, for him, coming to the Imperial College was just a different place to study.

When he returned to Shizi Mansion at night, Chi Chen slept under the blanket with Jia Huan after washing. He always liked to play with Jia Huan's finger, so he grabbed it and asked about the daytime situation while touching it.

"It's just that there are a lot of people coming and going, and they don't know what to do. Today, I only offered wine to the class, and I didn't necessarily say anything. It was just the teaching assistants and others watching the class, waiting for the time to come. Let's go." As for the Guozijian, its reputation is more important than practicality.

"The ones who go there are all people who have mixed connections, and wait for the official career to be less twists and turns in the future. You don't need to do this, you can just study your own books. If you are really not used to it, there are gentlemen in the house anyway." Chi Chen said. At the beginning, it was just to trick Jia Huan back to Beijing, so he followed the Holy Master to ask for this favor, but now that he is already in his own territory, whether to go or not is the next thing to do.

Jia Huan felt that what Chi Chen said was right, and he had his own plans in his heart, aside from other things, since now he almost knew when the disaster would come, he hadn't prepared for the scientific examination before, so what's the use of passing the examination? , In the end, I will go all the way to the end anyway, so it's better to find another way.

The two slowly fell asleep while talking, but even after falling asleep, Chi Chen still hugged Jia Huan domineeringly and did not let go.Jia Huan still went to Guozijian on the second day, while Chi Chen went to the Ministry of War early in the morning. At the Jiebao Office, I handle the delivery of documents, and I receive local things every day.

In Guozijian, the doctor is only responsible for the students of the third rank and above, and the great-grandchildren of the second rank and above, while the teaching assistant is responsible for the fifth rank and above, and the county and county princes and grandchildren, and the third-rank great-grandchildren are the students. The rest is in charge of classics. .The three are also separated in class on weekdays, and Jia Huan followed the classics to study.There are four Dianxue in Taixue, Li Dianxue, Xiang Dianxue, Wang Dianxue and Wu Dianxue.

Li Dianxue's surname is Li Mingyao, and he is a distant relative with Li Wan, the elder sister-in-law of Jia's family. Xiang Dianxue was born in poverty and is old. He rarely communicates with the students under him. Dianxue usually likes to teach and solve doubts.

After Jia Huan inquired, he waited every day for the classics to be finished, and then took Wu Xiaogu to the Wudian Academy to drink tea aggressively. As for why he could go, because he also came from the old monk's place for the Wudian Academy, ah. , ah, acquaintances are easy to handle!

It was only five days before school started, and the two met successfully. The reason why they said they met was because the old monk sent a letter to Jia Huan and at the same time sent a message to Wu Dianxue.Wu Dianxue is an honest person, when he heard the news, he went to Taixue to look for Jia Huan, and after that, he made many introductions, aside from other things, the old monk only told Wu Dianxue that Jia Huan was the concubine of the Jia family.That Wu Dianxue is also a strange person, it is said that his life experience is very complicated, but he was lazy to meddle in those gangsters' business, so he went to the Imperial College to teach, his yard is not far from the school, there is only one servant girl, and there is no other.Dianxue has his own study room in the school, and the two spend their days together in nests.

Wu Dianxue saw Jia Huan coming with Wu Xiaogu from a distance, so he put a table of books aside, leaving a large space for Jia Huan to eat. "I came early today, and it's not time for dinner yet. Isn't Wang Dianxue giving a lecture?" He was only twenty years old, but compared to Jia Huan, he was naturally dull. away from officialdom.

"Wang Dianxue has something to do today, and he just told us to study by ourselves. The students came to find Dianxue early when they saw that there was nothing to do." He pulled up his robe and sat opposite Wu Dianxue, waiting for Wu Xiaogu to bring a load of food to the table.

"Didn't you talk about stewed chicken? Why is lotus root soup here today? If the clear soup lacks water, I don't worry that you will not grow tall." The dishes were on the table, and Wu Dianxue was not polite, and took out his spare bowl The chopsticks ate with Jia Huan. Jia Huan waited for Wu Xiaogu to bring up the rice, took it with his hand, and told Wu Xiaogu to go out to find food by himself. Shutong had his own place to eat, but in fact he just let him take a rest by himself. Anyway, for the next half a day, he will only be at Wu Dian Xue's place, and he doesn't need to wait on him.

If it was Chun Geng, he would not leave, but Wu Xiaogu had no other advantages, just being obedient. Hearing what Jia Huan said, he respectfully bowed to the two of them and bid farewell. Waiting for him to go out, he began to pick up the dishes on the plate. While eating, he talked: "In the past few days, there has been news from the palace that the Supreme Emperor is not good." Although he never leaves home, there are so many news.

The Supreme Emperor is not good, but the Holy Majesty is fine. Whoever has been the emperor for five years and still has been suppressed will not be happy, but after all, he is the father of the biological body. Filial piety, that's why I got into the Ninth Five-Year Plan, all these Chi Chen told Jia Huan, a sage who can hide his temperament for more than 20 years, no matter how you think about it, he is a capable person!

"I only heard that after the concubine passed away last year, the emperor's health has not been very good, but it has been bad for five or six years, no matter how you think about it, he won't go soon, right?" Jia Huan took a mouthful of rice, chewed and swallowed it. Go down and look up at Wudian after eating.

Wu Dianxue stared at Jia Huan's jet-black hair for a while, and waited for Jia Huan to approach him suspiciously before returning to his senses: "It's really not good this time, the Holy Majesty does not see all the officials now, and he waits on the emperor's couch day and night. In the past, unless something was important, you should not report it, that is to say, unless there is an urgent military situation outside, otherwise you will not be able to see the face of the Holy Majesty."

Jia Huan moved his fingers holding the chopsticks, and continued to eat silently, waiting for the two of them to finish eating a few dishes, Jia Huan put them back into the basket by himself, and put them aside to take away when he went back.He had already finished studying the Doctrine of the Mean and the Analects of Confucius, and now he is learning the Book of Changes. Unfortunately, the Book of Changes is a book of talent. Jia Huan didn't believe in gods and Buddhas. It is too much for those who are like believers. Fortunately, this imperial examination does not pay much attention to the Book of Changes, and it is just a hasty memorization.

Jia Huan held three copper coins and tossed them one after another, slowly recording the rules before and after, not to mention the existence, he still knew it from the book, but going back and forth was either at a loss, for no reason, or No disadvantages, Xu played the virtue of modesty, who am I going to be humble with!Jia Huan felt that he was annoyed, so he threw the book in his hand aside. Wu Dianxue smiled when he saw it, and stretched out his hand to take the copper plate and put it aside.

"It's just some psychological comfort. Why are you in a hurry? If you can still get it in the previous dynasty, but now you are more seeking material desires, you stay with me. I have a good book here, and you read it." Jia Huan thanked him respectfully for the scroll of ancient books, and reached out to fetch them.It seems to be from this wild book, talking about the affairs of the previous dynasty, he read the book and waited for the sun to set, and he has finished reading it.Looking up, he found that Wu Xiaogu was already in the room, standing beside him with a candle in one hand, staring at him.

Jia Huan suddenly took a breath, his chest was a little stuffy from watching too seriously just now, and he said, "Since you're here, why don't you call me."

"The young master studies hard, so don't bother me. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the young ones. It's just that someone from Wu Dian Academy just came and called Dian Xue to go back. Dian Xuedao waited for the young master to finish reading, so he put it aside and closed the door. Let's go out."

Jia Huan nodded, carefully placed the book on the desk, and stood up and stretched herself.
