Chapter 86 The Rat Entered the Rice Barn

Just as he was thinking, the old man greeted him: "I not only know Ying Ci, but also a family. You are a newcomer who just arrived, come on, talk in the shade of the tree."

Sitting at the stone table under the shade of a tree, he was able to serve refreshments. The man said, "I am Ying Ci's second uncle, and I am currently working as a professor at the Fu Xue."

"So it's Professor Zheng." Su Ziji was surprised and saluted.

This person is Zheng Lixuan, a Jinshi on the second list. I remember that when he reached the third rank, he was already sixty years old, and he retired due to illness. Now it seems that he is in good condition.

The government schools of the former dynasty had one education and three disciplines. The Zheng Dynasty was established, and more emphasis was placed on imperial examinations and official studies, and disciplines were added.

As for professors, they are generally retired officials (Jinshi) who give full play to their spare energy, which is hard to come by.

Of course, retired officials are also willing. Not only are professors highly respected, but also government professors are still seventh-rank, and they can also enjoy seventh-rank treatment in addition to half salary (pension).

More importantly, the students who have been taught must always take care of their incense when they are officials.

Zheng Lixuan did not accept the gift calmly, he waved his hands and said, "This is private, so there is no need to be polite."

At this moment, the book boy served tea, and Zheng Lixuan greeted Su Ziji to drink tea: "You just came to the government to study, you may not know, there are refreshments around here, you can greet them, ten coins a bowl, you can drink water."

"Come on, drink it in hot weather. Although it is not the best, it will quench your thirst."

Such kindness made Su Ziji murmur in his heart: "Although I know Zheng Yingci, but I don't have a deep friendship, maybe there is still a possibility to seize the opportunity. The professor is Zheng Yingci's elder, so why would he treat me because of Zheng Yingci's face? Is that good?"

"Maybe it's not because of Zheng Yingci."

While Su Ziji was contemplating, Zheng Lixuan was actually looking at Su Ziji in front of him.

It has to be said that Su Ziji's appearance is quite good, plus he has awakened the memory of his previous life and practiced the secret method of Panlong, so he is more confident than ordinary students, and he doesn't even shake his hands when killing people.

If a person has confidence, he will be calm and self-possessed in everything.

"No wonder you think it's that person's bloodline." Zheng Lixuan only felt that he was pleasing to the eye, and the princes' sons were all inferior, so he couldn't help sighing in his heart, thinking to himself: "Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age, so it's not like Chi of things."

"Even if it's not that person's blood, just relying on this bearing, I'm afraid I won't be under him for a long time."

Then I asked Su Ziji some questions carefully, and found that Su Ziji was indeed not an embroidered pillow, but had real talents and real learning.

He already had a good impression of smart students, and Su Ziji was young, so Zheng Lixuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Come to class in the afternoon. Chen Xundao will teach "Shangshu" in the afternoon. Although he is a Juren, he has taught a Jinshi and is very famous in the school."

Su Ziji knew that Zheng Lixuan was telling him not to miss the afternoon class, so he immediately said, "Student understands."

Zheng Lixuan told Su Ziji about the precautions of the prefectural school, and then let him leave.

After returning to the dormitory, as soon as he entered the door, he could smell the aroma of food. It wasn't that Ye Buhui lit the fire. After all, he had just arrived, and he didn't know where to buy firewood, and he didn't have time to cook.

"There is a stall selling food outside the government school, so I bought some back." Seeing Su Ziji looking over, Ye Buhui explained.

He continued: "However, I didn't expect the price to be cheaper than in the county."

"There are a lot of people here, maybe it's small profits but quick turnover." Su Ziji washed his hands, and beckoned Ye Buhui to sit down. The two ate hot vegetable cakes and exchanged in low voices.

Seeing that although Ye Buhui was a little tired from the long journey, he felt a little more relaxed after staying in the small courtyard, Su Ziji felt a little relieved.

The two finished their lunch casually, Su Ziji told Ye Buhui to rest, and he would be busy tomorrow if he had something to do, so he took a nap for a while, washed up again, and headed to the lecture hall.

In the past tense, I also brought books. Although I didn't need it, it was a courtesy.

When I arrived, I found out that the prefectural school looked big, but actually it didn’t have many students. There were only 70 to [-] students, all of whom were scholars.

According to the laws and regulations of the Zheng Dynasty, the selection of scholars is not a once-and-for-all process. They no longer participate in the imperial examinations, and scholars must also participate in the annual examination.

Generally, the first and second grades can be promoted to make up for the supplementary growth and growth; the third grade is regarded as an ordinary result, not bad;

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that if you pass the sixth grade, you will be deposed.

Scholars are not so easy to test. Dismissal is not only a waste of hard work, but also a great harm to face. Therefore, in order not to be deposed, scholars must review carefully every year and dare not slack off.

This is also the reason why you can really breathe a sigh of relief after passing the Juren exam, because only if you pass the Juren exam can you be regarded as a lifetime body.

Su Zi was a granary student, and as soon as he arrived at the lecture hall of the prefectural school, he received the attention of Chen Xun and his fellow scholars.

After all, Lin students are talents who are directly qualified to take the provincial examination. Even if they have just entered the government school, they are top-notch among all the talents. As scholars, how many people are willing to be under others and think they are not as good?

Facing these veiled gazes, Su Ziji calmly bowed to Chen Xun, who taught books and etiquette, and sat in an empty seat under his signal.

The book course is very important. Su Ziji is no stranger to the "Book of History". It can even be said that anyone who has passed the examination as a scholar can basically recite the "Book of History" fluently, but memorizing it does not mean that he understands it.

Although Chen Xundao only wanted to raise people, but because of bad luck, he went through mourning for his parents and grandparents one after another, came and lost his wife again, and finally he was able to participate in the general examination. The government has become a training officer.

And the disciples taught by Chen Xun have successfully passed the Jinshi. Compared with the county school, the lectures are more flexible and more suitable for the imperial examination.

"Chen Bonan taught you [Shangshu Profound Meaning], do you want to learn it?"

Finally, it was time for this rapid growth again, Su Ziji burst into tears, the mouse entered the rice warehouse, it was not easy, so he answered "yes" immediately!

Just then, a bunch of information came in instantly, and a light blue reminder appeared in the field of vision: "[Shangshu Profound Meaning] has been learned, [Experience +4], [Experience +3], [Experience +5]..."

"There are genuine products, more than Fang Juren's experience."

"The school is indeed the essence of a school." There is no provincial school, or the gap between the provincial school and the prefectural school is not that big. The window of the lecture hall was open, and Zheng Lixuan, who was standing outside watching, fell on Su Ziji. Seriously, nodded and walked away.

After walking for a while, in the shade of the trees, he stopped and looked back: "The three generations of the Su family are all innocent, how could it be the blood of the prince? Besides, the age difference is only one year."

It was quiet behind him, but he knew that someone was listening not far away.

He turned around and continued to walk slowly, saying, "However, since I have obeyed the will, I must do my best."

"In your opinion, how can you learn?" A voice asked beside his ear.

Zheng Lixuan thought for a while: "I also read his papers. He has a solid foundation, extraordinary talent, can draw inferences from one example, and is also diligent. He only needs to be taught by a famous teacher."

"Nowadays, under the precepts of the prefecture, the jurens like Chen Bonan and Zhang Pingzhi are also famous. If he is really talented, he will definitely win the juren."
