Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 94 Met an acquaintance

"Everyone, don't get separated, please follow me!" An assistant teacher shouted loudly to dozens of freshmen.

As soon as Fan Ning entered the county school, he met this group of freshmen visiting the county school. Seeing that it was still early, he simply joined in.

The county school is indeed very large, just like a university in later generations, covering an area of ​​about a thousand acres, divided into dormitory area, teaching area and north area.

Fan Ning followed a large group of freshmen to the North District. The North District is an undeveloped area, but it is not desolate at all. It is rather like a park, with a large forest and a small hill made of mud, and there is a garden at the foot of the mountain.

"This garden is called the Lotus Garden. It occupies a large area. There are pavilions, pavilions and large lotus ponds. Before the exam, everyone likes to come here to endorse. I don't have time today. You can come and visit another day."

Walking through the lotus garden, a wide stone avenue appeared in front of everyone. The avenue passed through the woods and went straight to the east gate.

"Sir, where is it outside the gate?" a student asked.

Fan Ning was also a little curious when he saw that the building of the gate was quite magnificent.

"Just outside the gate is Jiashanfang."

Many scholars exclaimed, and someone whispered to both sides: "You don't know about Jiashanfang. It is the concentration of wealthy families in Wu County, where dozens of wealthy families live."

"Are you blind? You have stepped on me twice!"

Suddenly a discordant voice came from the side, and everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw a boy nodding and bowing his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't see it."

When Fan Ning saw this young man, he couldn't help being stunned. This young man turned out to be Lu Youwei.

Lu Youwei was the third child among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and he also participated in the county examination, but was eliminated in the first round.

Fan Ning thought for a while, his name was not in the list of county magistrates!
Then why did he show up at the county school, and still wearing the green skirt and deep coat unique to the county school students.

Lu Youwei's apology seemed to have no effect, a skinny freshman pushed him hard, "Go away, stay away from me!"

Lu Youwei staggered and was almost pushed to sit on the ground.

"Don't make trouble anymore, keep following me!" The teaching assistant didn't bother to bother, and led everyone to the east.

It was only then that Fan Ning could see clearly the freshman with a tyrannical attitude. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a long face, a pointed chin, fair skin, and a pair of eyes full of disdain and arrogance.

He was wearing a distinctive green skirt. Everyone's dark clothes were made of fine linen, which was uniformly made by the county school, but the freshman's dark clothes were made of high-quality silk and satin.

In addition, he also wore a white cloak with gold trim, the cloak was a bit long, and Lu Youwei stepped on the edge of the cloak just now.

Xin Xin patted his cloak angrily, gave Lu Youwei a hard look, and then followed the crowd.

Fan Ning didn't have a good impression of Lu Youwei, but perhaps he could learn about Xu Ji's movements from him.

Fan Ning stepped forward and asked, "Why do you study in the county?"

Lu Youwei looked up and saw Fan Ning, his face turned pale, his lips trembled twice, and he respectfully saluted Fan Ning, "I apologize to you!"

This was a bit beyond Fanning's expectation. He smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't bother to argue with you, but why do you study in the county?"

Lu Youwei scratched his head, and said a little ashamedly: "In January, I specially asked for leave to take the county school exam. I almost failed the exam. My father found a relationship and won me a spot as an auditor."

It was only then that Fan Ning realized that this Lu Youwei, like his fourth uncle, was also an auditor. It seemed that he was from a good family.

"What does your father do?" Fanning asked curiously again.

"My father is a professor of Pingjiang Fuxue."

Fan Ning suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he and Xu Ji had a good relationship. It turned out that his father was also a professor of Fuxue.

Lu Youwei looked at Fan Ning, "You haven't reported for duty yet!"

"How do you know?" Fanning was a little surprised, how could he tell.

"I didn't see your birth card!"

It was only then that Fan Ning discovered that Lu Youwei had a red lacquered wooden sign hanging on his waist, and Fan Ning asked with a smile, "I just arrived, it's still early, I want to visit the county school."

"It's getting late, and you still have to report, recognize a professor, choose a dormitory, a lot of things to do."

Lu Youwei hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "How about I take you there!"

Fan Ning said happily, "Then I will trouble you!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

"Xu Ji is going to take part in the boy's test in Xuanzhou. There are not strict requirements on the place of origin, and there are more places to participate in the test. Unlike Pingjiang Mansion's limited number of places, Wu Jian also went with him. His family They all moved to Xuancheng County and obtained household registration there."

"Then why don't you go?"

Fan Ning asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you have to wait another six years before taking the imperial examination?"

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty required 16 years of age and above. If the student happened to be 15 years old in this year, it would be a disadvantage, or he would take the imperial examination as a boy.

But if you don't get a recommendation from Tongzi, you have to wait another three years before you can take the imperial examination.

Of course, there is also a way to deal with it, that is, to change the age. It is easier to change the age. The reason can be that the registration is late, and the household registration is only registered at the age of one, and then find a few squires to prove it.

One or two years older is fine, but not younger, otherwise, if you sign up for the boy's test with a beard on your face, you will have to be beaten out with a stick.

Lu Youwei blushed, and said in a low voice: "My father changed my age by one year, so I can just catch up with the imperial examination three years later."

Fan Ning smiled, this Lu Youwei is very interesting, he told himself such a secret thing.

Lu Youwei suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "You have to think about it in advance and decide which professor to talk to!"

Fanning froze for a moment, "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you know that you have to talk to a professor to study in a county school?"

Fanning shook his head, "No one told me."

Lu Youwei patted his forehead and laughed, "I see, you have never been a student in a school, so you don't know.

All the students in the upper house know that there are four chief professors in the county school, and after entering the county school, they must find ways to worship a professor as a teacher, so that they can learn real skills and have a chance to pass the exam. "

Fan Ning thought that the fourth uncle always used the excuse of giving gifts to the master to ask for money, so he asked, "Is there a Zhang Yi among the four chief professors?"

"You mean Zhang Heidao, he is the deputy professor of the county school, but I advise you not to choose him."

"why?"

Lu Youwei said contemptuously: "This guy has some skills. I heard that he can solve one or two test questions every time. Many of his students have solved the test, but his character is not good, and he has a bad heart for killing students." The knife is fast, hate the poor and love the rich."

Fan Ning has a deep understanding. This Zhang Yi is from Cangshu Town. His grandfather asked him to help his fourth uncle to study in the county school. benefit.

It was this incident that caused the third uncle to become the son-in-law of the Lu family.

"Then how to choose the chief professor? For example, I don't want to choose Zhang Yi." Fan Ning asked again.

"That's not the case, listen to me slowly."

Lu Youwei found a big rock to sit down, and patiently said to Fan Ning: "The county school is completely different from the school. The county school implements the academy system and is divided into four academies: Luming, Jiayu, Hongyan, and Gufeng. Each chief professor is in charge. One of the academies.

The first thing we do to get into the county school is to worship the mountain and choose a college. In fact, we choose a professor. Every student has to become a student of a certain chief professor.

But the chief professors all want outstanding students, especially like you county magistrates, so they will take the initiative to let you study with him.

If the professor takes a fancy to you, then congratulations, you are likely to become his disciple. "

"What's the difference between a disciple and a disciple?" Fanning was still a little puzzled.

"There is a big difference, the disciples have to hold a ceremony to worship the teacher, the master will call the disciples to teach individually, and the master will only tell the disciples about the topic.

Put it this way!Disciples are the essence of every academy, and they are more likely to pass the exam, and students are second-class students, who can just go to the professor's big class. "

"Then are you a student or a disciple?" Fan Ning asked with a smile.

Lu Youwei smiled wryly, "How can we auditors become disciples? Of course I am a disciple, and I chose Zhao Xuezheng's Luming Academy."

Fan Ning was overjoyed, "Zhao Xuezheng is also the chief professor?"

"How could he not? It's just that Zhao Xuezheng has a lot of things to do. He usually doesn't care about the students. You have to work hard to study with him."

Only then did Fan Ning understand why Zhao Xuezheng went to Mudu Town to find him, and why he left a message telling him not to rush to report, but to go to him first.

"Look at the signboard of our Luming Academy."

Lu Youwei took off his student card and handed it to Fan Ning. The front was engraved with two white characters of 'Luming', and the back was Xiashesheng No. 76.

Fanning nodded, "That's right, it's a wise choice!"

At this moment, Lu Youwei's face changed, and he looked behind Fan Ning with a little fear.
