Chapter 7 Fate Changed (for further reading)
"A latecomer and late learner Xu Xing..."

"If you want to study in Weijing Academy, I hope the seniors will allow it."

As soon as he entered the ear room, Xu Xing was not stage-frightened, and said such words in a polite manner.

Scholars have their own cultural background, such as what private school they were educated in, what scriptures they read, which scriptures were used to treat classics, which year they passed the imperial examinations in the county, government, and courtyard examinations, whether they were ranked in the rankings, whether they were famous, etc. Was taught by some gentleman....

These are all questions that must be asked when entering the academy, and they are interlinked.

The circle of scholars is very small, especially fellow villagers.

In a slightly larger area, most of the gentlemen who are qualified to teach private schools are scholars.As for a scholar, there are only more than 100 people in a county.Some counties are poor in culture and education, and may not even have a hundred scholars.

As for the Juren and Jinshi, there are even fewer.

People from my hometown have never seen it, and I have heard of it.

If these things are made up indiscriminately..., one will not be able to move slowly, and the other will be prone to mistakes.

But he was also afraid that Professor Wang would ask him about his master's background as soon as he came up, so he went straight to the point when he came up, and subconsciously let Professor Wang ignore asking him about his master's inheritance.

After all, knowledge does not come without a source.

There are very few people who falsify the matter of the master's lineage, but it is only a necessary part of filling out the roster when entering the academy.

As Xu Xing expected, Wang Jiaoxi subconsciously ignored this aspect of the problem under the psychological suggestion. He looked at Xu Xing and thought about his words, "Do you have fame? If not..., um..., this These are some test questions about Gezhixue and arithmetic, you can answer them."

If he had fame and fame, Xu Xing's opening remarks would not be what he said just now.

As long as you submit a document to prove your identity, you can directly enter the academy to study.

In addition, although Xu Xing was wearing a long gown, it was not a scholar's gown, nor was he wearing a gentleman's belt around his waist.Just judging from his clothes, Xu Xing doesn't look like a famous scholar.

But it is customary to ask whether there is any fame, and Wang Jiaoxi is not short of time to say these few words.

"Without fame."

Xu Xing saluted Wang Jiaoxi respectfully, and took the test paper handed over by Wang Jiaoxi with both hands.

The so-called Gezhixue refers to the knowledge of physics and chemistry.

Ge Zhi, Investigating things to gain knowledge, means to seek knowledge by thoroughly studying the truth of things.

In modern times, basic science is also called Gezhixue.

The test questions of mathematics and Gezhixue are not difficult, roughly equivalent to the level of junior high school and high school in later generations, and two or three questions involve advanced mathematics and college physics.

Xu Xing hesitated for a while, but answered in turn.

Although the trees are more beautiful than the forest, the wind will destroy them.

But if he does not perform well and cannot enter Weijing Academy, it will be his turn to die.

Weijing Academy is not so easy to enter.

He only has some practical knowledge, but it is not outstanding. It is still uncertain whether the academy will accept him or not...

"good!"

"Practical knowledge is very solid."

Wang Jiaoxi glanced at it first, and seeing Xu Xing filling up the test paper, he felt a little unhappy.After all, there are only a handful of people in the academy who can answer all the questions in this exam paper.

But after he read it carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but praise Xu Xing.

This answer sheet is actually all right!

"This is a few questions about the Four Books. You just need to solve the questions. You don't need to write stereotypes."

Wang Jiaoxi restrained his mind, wrote a few cut-and-answer questions casually, and asked Xu Xing to solve them in the stereotyped format.

Stereotypes are breaking the topic, accepting the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the section, middle section, rear section, and closing section.

Breaking the problem is only the first and the most important one.

Similar to the first paragraph of an argumentative essay.

"I hope the teacher will forgive me..."

"Xu Xing came from a poor background. It took a lot of effort to learn some practical knowledge by chance. As for the Four Books and Five Classics, Xu Xing has never dabbled in it and knows nothing about it."

Xu Xing stood up, lifted the hem of his gown, and bowed deeply to Professor Wang.

In fact, he is not ignorant of the Four Books and Five Classics.

It's just that when it comes to writing broken questions and doing stereotyped essays according to the Confucian classics, there is more than enough energy.

Instead of hiding it from Wang Jiaoxi, it is better to tell the truth as soon as possible to make a good impression on Wang Jiaoxi.

Confucian scholars, no matter how bad they are, they are happy to teach.

Most of the teachers from the academy have this kind of character.

It was unlikely to see him stepping into Weybrugh Lane again.

But there is one prerequisite, that is, he must be "loyal" and not a cunning person.

But now his truth is to hit the point of loyalty.

Sometimes, only by taking a step back can the sea and the sky be broadened.

"Born in poverty?"

Wang Jiaoxi was surprised.

He took a good look at Xu Xing, and asked: "Gezhi, how did you learn arithmetic? No one from the outside world should have taught you..."

"In the 15th year of Guangxu, there was a severe drought in Qin Province."

"At that time, there was a missionary providing disaster relief, and I studied with him for a while."

Xu Xing found a reason.

He can't stand the investigation of the lineage of the scholars, but the missionaries of the foreigners... Weijing Academy is not capable of this.

"So it is."

Wang Jiaoxi felt relieved when he heard the words.

There are many schools run by foreigners in China, such as Yinghua College, Morrison School, etc., are all schools run by foreigners.And the key is that these foreigners do not charge for opening schools.

Specially accept children from poor families.

Of course, the purpose of foreigners is not pure, it is to open schools for missionary purposes.

Although there were no schools run by foreigners in Qin Province, it was not uncommon for foreign missionaries to set up private schools.

"Are you Rixinzhai?"

"I think Shi Minzhai is more suitable for you."

Wang Jiaoxi advised Xu Xingdao.

You have to study early, the Four Books and Five Classics do not seem to be many, but if you want to make a name for yourself in stereotypes, you have to study the Four Books and Five Classics hard for ten years.It is not a lie to study hard for ten years in the cold window.

But at Xu Xing's current age, it was obviously too late.

He visually estimated Xu Xing's age, at least seventeen or eighteen years old.

"gentlemen……"

"I want to try and learn the words of the sage."

Xu Xing insisted.

He is not stupid.

To study practical science is to study engineering, and it is the life of a skilled worker for a lifetime.

In today's era, scientists are not popular.Furthermore, he does not have the ability to become a scientist.

After all, he is not a graduate of science and engineering.

If you learn stereotyped art, you can become an official if you succeed.

It is clear at a glance which one is better to learn.

"Aspirations do not come at a young age..."

Wang Jiaoxi nodded. He took out the roster list from the cabinet and pushed it in front of Xu Xing, "Please tell me your name, age, place of origin, how old you were when you started your education, what books you read when you were an elementary school, and what practical books you read. Write it down, and in addition, pay another three liang... Forget it, I will pay it for you, but only this time."

On the roster, there are three small letters of Rixinzhai.

"Mr. Xie."

Xu Xing took a deep breath and quickly saluted Wang Jiaoxi.

At the same time, while saluting, he opened his personal panel again.

I saw that the four words "Death of Death" behind the column of "Fate" seemed to be slowly dissipating, as if they would condense into other words in the next second.

"Fate... changed!"

Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
