The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 8
After all, he was an old scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, and he spoke in a different way.

In terms of the level of Chinese studies, Runtu, who was a support teacher in his previous life, is definitely not as good as this old scholar.

But when it comes to science, except for Chinese studies, other veteran scholars are inferior to Runtu.

Mr. Jingwu: "Runtu, do you know what is considered to have been read? Just reading is not enough, you have to pass it. After reading a paragraph or a book, whether you have passed it or not, how can you count it? First of all, you must be able to read it." Recite it all, then memorize it and understand it. Runtu, let me ask you again, have you read Mencius?"

Runtu answered immediately: "I have read it, but I haven't passed it yet."

Mr.: "Children can be taught. It's alright, you have passed the assessment, there is still a seat over there, and you can come to class from today. The six-month training is two yuan."

Even though this is over, Runtu also heaved a sigh of relief. I was a teaching teacher in my previous life. I didn't expect to come to this world. Facing my husband, I still felt a little nervous: "Thank you, sir."

The tuition fee was two silver dollars. He didn't have any oceans, so he gave him one tael or five silver dollars, which was about the value of two oceans.

Starting today, I officially became a member of Sanwei Bookstore.He is a classmate of the greatest writer of modern times.

"Runtu, first come to worship Confucius."

Runtu looked around, but did not see the statue of Confucius.This is the etiquette of studying nowadays. Before entering school, you must first worship Confucius, and then worship Mr. Wang.

Mr.: "Just salute to that plaque."

There is no tablet of Confucius in the bookstore.In the middle of the study is hung a plaque with the inscription "Sanwei Bookstore". Below the plaque is a picture of a very fat sika deer crouching under an old tree.Runtu respectfully saluted the door plaque and painting.

First of all, worship Confucius.

Then Runtu worshiped Mr. again.

The husband is a tall and thin old man with gray beard and hair, wearing big glasses.Founder, knowledgeable, is a well-known person in Kuaiji.

When Runtu was saluting, the gentleman was also replying at the side.

Classes are like six hours a day.

Class starts at eight o'clock in the morning and ends at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The main content of the class is to read scriptures, lectures and practice calligraphy.

"RunTu."

"gentlemen."

"You read this paragraph over."

"Yes."

Runtu took the book and read it.

He is new here, and the teacher wanted to quickly understand the specific level of this student.

After listening to Runtu's recitation, he was somewhat satisfied, at least there was no misreading.

Mr.: "Reciting needs to follow the tone of the words, the tone of the meaning, the short rhyme and the long rhyme, and the heavy and long empty words. Not only can each word be read correctly, but also the meaning can be conveyed completely and profoundly. Emotional and artistic, this is the sublime method. Follow me to read.”

The teacher read the content that will be taught next.

Not too much in class.

Sir didn't watch them for six hours.

Within six hours, only half of the time is spent, and the rest of the time is for them to study by themselves.

There is also less homework.

It is estimated that there are only a hundred words to learn in a day.

Learning progress is relatively slow.

But these hundreds of words need to be thoroughly understood.

No wonder a book is only tens of thousands of words, but it takes several months to study.

Soon, the day's study time passed.

Ready for school.

The husband assigned today's homework, "When you come over tomorrow, you need to memorize everything you taught today. After school."

All the students left the school.

Brother Xun ran over, "Brother Runtu, where do you live now? Do you have a place to live? Why don't you go to my house."

His house is big, so there is no problem with adding another bed.

He knew that Runtu's home was far away, and it would be impossible for him to study in the county.

"No, thank you, I have a place to live."

I still have some money on my hands, so it's no problem to find a place to live.

There are two taels of silver in hand.It's a little less, and it's no problem to find a simpler place to live in the city.

Besides, I really have no money, and I can still go to the pharmacy a few times.

It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still a long time before dark, so I am not in a hurry to find a place to live.

Instead, I feel a little hungry and need to find something to eat first.

Walking on the street, first solve the stomach problem.

Come to the county to see something good to eat.

I saw a restaurant on the side of the road.

Just walked in.

Today was the first day at school, and the clothes Runtu wore were not particularly shabby.

Walking into this restaurant didn't seem particularly abrupt.

After looking at the menu, I ordered two small dishes and a pot of wine.It took about sixty renminbi.

A plate of fried duck, a plate of noodle soup, and a pot of small wine are all worth ten or twenty Wen.

Quite expensive, it is estimated that it is much cheaper to go to the small vendors outside.

But he came here to experience it for a while, and he wouldn't think it was too expensive with those things in the space.

After a while, the dishes were served.

After all, the food in the restaurant is much better than the food at home.

Those who open a restaurant need word of mouth very much. If the taste of this dish is poor, no customers will come to the door again.Those who can open stores, especially time-honored brands, have some kung fu.

Suddenly at this time, Runtu saw a lot of people surrounding him.

"Fifth Master, please come inside, please come inside."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant went over to entertain in person.

Runtu looked at these people. They were all dressed in silk and satin, and they were probably not short of money.

"Fifth Master, this is top grade. Where did you get it?"

There was quite a commotion, and Runtu unconsciously looked over there, wondering what they were talking about.

"How much money did it cost? Let's take a look at it."

Suddenly, Runtu heard two very crisp crickets.

I understood in an instant.

These individuals are all guys who play with flowers, birds, insects and fish.

Those who can have leisure time to play with flowers, birds, insects and fish must be a group of wealthy families.

He has paid attention to Brother Xun, because Brother Xun has also played with this thing.

"Is Second Master here?"

Er Ye: "My black panther has been resting for the past few days."

"Then your panther should rest."

"Whoever is afraid of whom, just compare."

After a while, the fifth master and the second master both took out two bottles containing crickets.

One called, and the other kept calling.

The sound of crickets is very crisp.

Runtu watched from the side, he couldn't understand what this cricket could do.

It seems that there are many people who play with crickets, regardless of age.

Maybe it's because there are less ways to entertain.

With this leisurely mood, it is better to go to Goulan to listen to music.

But he was attracted by the movement here.

I also want to see how fighting crickets in this era are.

After eating, I wiped my mouth and watched around here.

He wasn't very interested at first, but when he saw that there were people betting here, he immediately became very interested.
