Chapter 18: Ethnology
In fact, entering ethnology is the beginning of truly integrating into this society.

There are a total of forty students in the Sun Clan Study, including more than 15 Sun's children and a dozen people with other surnames, which is the size of a small class in later generations.The students in the school are all young, and the oldest one is Sun Hao, the [-]-year-old son of Mr. Sun Songnian, the chief housekeeper.The youngest is the son of Nie, the owner of Chengxi Pharmacy, who has just turned nine years old.

Even the oldest Sun Hao is a little kid in Sun Dan's eyes.

However, this group of children is undoubtedly the representative of the mainstream society, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and this group of people will be scholars in the future, representing the mainstream social values.

Mixing with them, Sun Dan finally felt a touch of this society.

In the past, whether it was staying at home as an otaku for three years or coming to work in the Sun's Mansion, he had only come into contact with the lowest level of society, and he could only observe a certain aspect of this society.It's not that he looked down on the lower class of society, in his previous life he was also from a peasant family.But in later generations, even the son of an ordinary farmer can smoothly integrate into society after going through the nine-year compulsory education.But in ancient times, your origin determined your horizons and the heights you could achieve.The so-called material base determines the superstructure. In ancient times, this point was especially naked.

In ancient times, there was no class system. These forty people were crowded together, and their levels were also uneven. Some people could already write stereotyped essays, and some students were still enlightened with the "San Zi Jing".However, this is also good, and Sun Dan will not be so conspicuous if he squeezes in.

In fact, not many people cared about Sun Dan's entry into ethnology.It doesn't matter whether he was illiterate or talented before, it doesn't matter to anyone else.

Sun Dan discovered this when he first entered the school. Although he was secretly happy, he was still a little disappointed.He smiled wryly: This is a response, you think everyone's eyes are on you, but in fact, they usually only care about himself.Humans are always selfish animals.

This can be seen in the old steward of the school.

Early in the morning, Sun Dan went to the accounting office to prepay this month's salary, then went to the study building of ethnology to pay the tuition fee, and received a set of four treasures of the study according to the rules, and lent a set of textbooks.

The textbooks of Sun Clan Studies are actually not very surprising, just a set of "Four Books".The Four Books and Five Classics are must-read books for scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Originally, Sun Dan had a set in mind.But in order to put on a show, he still didn't receive a set.Fortunately, the four books are not thick, just four thin booklets.In order to learn to read and write traditional characters as soon as possible, Sun Dan borrowed a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi".

<Shuowen Jiezi> was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is the first dictionary in China arranged according to radicals, which is suitable for Sun Dan to use.It's a pity that "Shuowen Jiezi" is too thick, there are five large volumes, and it is very troublesome to carry around.

It was the first day for Sun Dan to come to the school. The old steward looked at the receipt in Sun Dan's hand, and without saying a word, handed over the books Sun Dan needed one by one, so as to save Sun Dan from explaining more.

After receiving the Four Treasures of Study and textbooks, Sun Dan entered the classroom.

The ethnology of Housun's family in Huichang is the No. 1 school in Zouping County. There are many Jinshi and Juzi in the school, not to mention the distant Sun Jizong brothers.In Sun Songnian's generation, the three brothers Sun Songnian, Sun Henian, and Sun Zhunian actually passed the examination at the same time. Among them, Sun Songnian made up for the Marquis and did not participate in the examination.Sun Henian and Sun Zhunian won Jinshi.

Ordinarily, such a school that produces talents should be extremely rigorous.

But when Sun Dan walked into the study, he was startled.

It's too messy inside.

The study room is very large, covering a full eighty square meters, and there are more than 30 to forty tables and chairs inside.It's class time now, but only thirty or so people came.There were only a few thirty people, but they made loud noises. Some were reciting "Three-Character Classic", some were reading "Shangshu" aloud, and some were huddling together to fight.

As for the teacher, he snored softly on the desk of the podium.

Just after the Spring Festival, the weather is very cold. Looking out from the window, the ground, flowers and plants outside are covered with a thin layer of frost.But the earth dragon was burned in the house, and it was so warm that people couldn't lift their spirits.

Seeing Sun Dan's unfamiliar face appear at the door of the study, the room suddenly fell silent, and more than 20 pairs of eyes stared at him.Then there was a chatter:
"Who is this person? Judging by his attire, he seems to be a servant in the mansion."

"I heard that he is a distant relative of the Sun family. It seems to be called Sun Dan."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too, and now I'm working as a gardener in the yard."

"What kind of relatives, there is nothing at all, maybe this kid is here to make a living."

"You don't care if his identity is true or not. There is not such a good mouth in the mansion. I heard that he can't read a single word, and I want to come to study. He is 16 years old, what else can he learn. "

"Hehe, what are you guys talking about? By the way, I got a rare item yesterday. It was shipped from Borneo. Do you want to see it?"

"Show me quickly."

"Hey, do you have any money? Let me borrow some. I lost it all when I hit the horse crane during the Chinese New Year."

"Pull it down, I contributed that little monthly money to you long ago, and if you still borrow it, what do you have to pay it back?"

Sun Dan's appearance was nothing more than a small pebble thrown into the ocean, which quickly disappeared into the waves.

A group of students in the study, should read aloud, chat should chat.

……

Hearing this noisy voice, Sun Dan had a headache.He didn't expect the order of the school to be so chaotic, it was simply a second-rate middle school in later generations.Seeing the way the teacher is lying on the table and sleeping soundly, it is estimated that his mind is not on teaching and educating people.

Because no one paid attention to him, Sun Dan stood at the door and looked in, but he didn't know where to sit.

Just as he was about to randomly find a place to sit down, a pale and thin face appeared in front of him, "Brother Hao, it was him, he hit me!"

The sound is very high-pitched, and it sounds uncomfortable.

Sun Dan looked over in surprise, only to see Sun Gui, who hadn't seen him for a long time, pulling a fat boy of fourteen or five years old, looking at him fiercely.

If you guessed right, this big fat boy is Sun Hao from the house of Sun's parents.This person is the overlord of the family, and he doesn't like reading. He enjoys fighting cocks and running dogs all day long, and he has gathered a group of Sun family children under his command.

"Sun Dan, right? I heard that you bullied Xiaosan?" Xiaosan is Sun Gui, and there are three males in the Sun family's generation.The eldest son Sun Hao is the elder brother, the second son Sun Yue is the second son, and Sun Gui is the third son.The fat boy Sun Hao walked over with his fists clenched, "How dare you actually dare to send it to your door. We really want to get closer in the future."

The big fat boy's fat is very characteristic, his fat is all displayed on his forehead, a broad forehead is thick and bulging, like a small steamed bun.Behind him was the wretched and cowardly Sun Gui and two eleven or twelve-year-old children.It looks quite like the school bully of later generations.

Sun Dan didn't expect to meet people who came to find fault on the first day, and he was an adult anyway, if he was bluffed by a few children, it would be a real joke.He nodded slightly: "Yes, I beat him, what's the matter?"

Sun Hao grinned suddenly: "You are brave enough to fight, why don't you be my brother in the future."

Sun Dan was amused in his heart, shook his head and remained silent.

Before Sun Dan could speak, Sun Gui behind Sun Hao became anxious: "Brother Hao, you have to vent your anger on me, you promised to help me beat him up."

Sun Hao curled his lips in disdain, picked up the book in his hand and smashed it on Sun Gui's head: "Useless things, I will embarrass my Sun family. If you are a hero, you will fight alone with Sun Dan. I will I can't look down on you as a bird, but you dare not fight back when you are slapped, you are not a man."

"Brother Ha..."

Without waiting for Sun Gui to speak, Sun Hao raised the book in his hand and pointed at Sun Dan: "If you want to be my brother, you can come here, let us see the truth. After this fight, you and I will chop off the chicken head and burn the yellow paper. Drink blood wine."

Sun Dan looked over intently, and on the cover of the book in Sun Hao's hand was written "Water Margin" in big characters.

Poor, another young man poisoned by idle books.

"Water Margin" was finalized in the Chenghua period, and it has been five or sixty years so far. It is the most popular bestseller today.As the saying goes: If you are old, you don't read the Three Kingdoms, but if you are young, you don't read the Water Margin.The dignified Sun Family School actually allows students to read this kind of poisonous weed, which shows the bad style of study, and shows that the husband's corpse is a vegetarian.
