Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 36
The student calmed down, and followed the instructions of the ceremonial instructor on the side to clean his hands in the copper basin, and then sprinkled some water on his shoes and hat to complete the "washing (guàn) washing" ceremony for admission.

Then they entered the Panchi Lake and the bridge over the wall in an orderly manner, and came to the Confucius Hall, the main hall of the Xuegong.Under the guidance of the ceremonial instruction, all the new students entered the hall.

The two sides of the statue of the most holy teacher in the main hall are already full of former students. The front row is the Lin students, with only about fifty people, and the back is Zeng Sheng, about fifty, slightly less than the Lin students. There are about five hundred students, all the way along the line, and they have already been lined up behind the side hall.

As far as Lingzhou Fuxue is concerned, there is no limit to the number of attached students, as long as they are students, they can come in if they pay enough money and food.

Enlarged students are usually supplemented by those who have excelled in the examinations in prefectural schools. They are additional quotas for granary students, and the number of them is naturally smaller than that of granary students.

However, Lingzhou prefecture school has some successful applicants in every local examination, as few as three or five, as many as seventy-eight or ninety, which shows the high level of teaching, so it is extremely attractive to students from other places.

The new students came to the middle of the main hall and stood facing the statue of the most holy teacher.Qin Chuan naturally stood at the front, and the left and right were No. 5 to No. [-] in the hospital examination.

After that, they waited for the arrival of the new magistrate of Lingzhou, and then everyone paid homage to the statue of the most holy teacher.

Just now, Qin Chuan learned that the new magistrate's surname was Zhou when he exchanged greetings with Wang Fu.

Originally, Niezhi County was expected to be promoted to the magistrate of Lingzhou, but recently Xiaoqian fell ill. Niezhi County only had such a beloved daughter, who had no interest in political affairs, so she took Xiaoqian to visit a famous doctor.

However, it was surprising that Zhou Zhifu was even transferred to be the magistrate of Lingzhou. Although Lingzhou is the provincial capital, in fact, many magistrates from other places are unwilling to come to be the magistrate.

There is a saying that "Three lives of misfortune, magistrate attached to Guo; three lives of evil, attached to Guo's provincial capital; evil pervasive, attached to Guo Jingcheng."

Although the magistrate is much better than the magistrate of Fuguo's provincial capital, he still has to suffer from a lot of constraints.

What's more, the provincial government has a lot to do with it. If you do well, the credit goes to the top. If you don't do it well, the blame goes to the bottom.

Zhou Zhifu came to work from Huaning Mansion. This kind of situation is really rare in the officialdom. Generally speaking, it is mostly because the higher-ups have offended people.

As for Nie Zhixian coming to be promoted to magistrate, he was promoted after all, even if he was not as happy as being the emperor of the next county, it might be a good thing to be promoted.

Qin Chuan is not particularly keen on these matters in the officialdom, and he is a little entangled now.Later, he will worship the statue of the most holy teacher, so there should be no problems like his worship of the earth temple.

There is a high probability that there is no accident.After all, the most holy teacher is a saint in the middle ages, and in Tixue's terms, he exists just like Taoist Tianzun and Shimen Buddha.

Compared with it, Zheng Village's land god is nothing more than a firefly.

After a cup of tea time, someone shouted loudly: "Master Zhifu is here!"

Under normal circumstances, the magistrate, as the person with the highest status in the prefectural school, often arrives late, making people wait for a long time, and the time for a cup of tea will arrive. different.

When everyone in the hall heard the shout, they all bowed in the direction the prefect came to salute.All the people present were students at the last time. Don't look at the inconspicuous students in the main hall, but in the counties below, that would be a bit of face.

Moreover, students have the privilege of not kneeling before officials. This alone has made many businessmen with a little money envy.

Therefore, whenever the imperial court started donating prisons, those merchants and landlords without fame responded most actively, just to be a prison student and enjoy the privilege of not having to kneel before officials.Among them, the supervising students have the qualifications to take the provincial examination, which is secondary.

I saw Zhou Zhifu wearing a crimson official robe, walking in accompanied by the professor of the prefectural school.Qin Chuan glanced at it, and saw that the face with Chinese characters was very majestic, and his steps were as precise as measured by a ruler, he walked to the statue of the most holy teacher, and then stood still.

So the teacher of rites said loudly: "Worship the most holy teacher."

Under the leadership of Zhou Zhifu, all the people respectfully saluted towards the statue of the most holy teacher.

During this process, Qin Chuan naturally saluted with everyone.

But there was a wave of ups and downs in his heart.

Just now when he worshiped the statue of the most holy teacher, a white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, shot out from the statue of the most holy teacher, the light was bright, dazzling like the sun, and shot into his body.

Immediately afterwards, in his Niwan palace, a phantom of a pen appeared, emitting a faint but seemingly indelible white light.

The awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism!
He understood almost instantly that it was the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism.

Let's pay homage to the statue of the most holy teacher of the government school, there is actually a phantom of a brush in his Niwan Palace, and there is a Confucian righteousness on it.

This sudden change caught Qin Chuan off guard.

He instinctively noticed that the pen seemed to be at the end of its rope, and it shot into his body, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and found a safe place for himself.

After the phantom entered Qinchuan Niwan Palace, apart from emitting a faint white light, it fell into silence. Qin Chuan was not unfamiliar with this situation, and the situation of the longevity Taoist species was better than this phantom.

It's just that the longevity dao species needs to absorb aura before it can be revived.

What does the phantom of this pen need to get out of the silence, is it the awe-inspiring righteousness?
Qin Chuan's heart fluctuated slightly, and he followed the crowd without changing his expression, completing the entrance ceremony of the government school.

Qin Chuan was very unfamiliar with the phantom of the pen in his body and the awe-inspiring righteousness.

Among the people he knew, perhaps only Tixue could solve his doubts.

Qin Chuan was like a distracted student, he couldn't see anything on the surface, but he kept thinking about the pen in Niwan Palace in his heart.

In addition, the admission process is coming to an end, and now it is Zhou Zhifu's lecture, there is a lot of long-winded, Qin Chuan didn't listen, but the last paragraph drew Qin Chuan's attention back,

"Only with sincerity and sincerity can the article be full of flesh and blood and give birth to the righteousness of my Confucian school. If you only write articles for the imperial examination, you don't know what righteousness is. You will have limited achievements throughout your life." He said here, After a slight pause, "Of course, people in the world pursue different things. It's not wrong to spend too much time in imperial examinations to pursue fame and fame. It's just that there are things that can be pursued in this world, far more than just fame and fame. I hope you can understand it one day."

The students next to him felt that the prefect Zhou was talking about the truth.

But Qin Chuan, who had just encountered a sudden change, heard Zhou Zhifu's words, and felt faintly touched in his heart, especially the awe-inspiring righteousness, which directly hit his curiosity.

It's a pity that he is not familiar with Zhou Zhifu.

Qin Chuan did not take any special measures, and Zhou Zhifu did not treat Qin Chuan specially in front of everyone because of his status as a junior. In his opinion, entering the government school is a new starting point. As a scholar, it is better not to indulge in past achievements .

The ceremony was finally over, and everyone walked out of the hall.
