Bachelor

Chapter 20
"Sir, Sun Yue hasn't come yet." After glaring at Sun Dan for a long time, Sun Gui found that it had no effect, and immediately yelled out when he heard his husband ask if everyone was here.

"Oh, Sun Yue didn't come." The gentleman stroked his yellowed beard and nodded: "Sun Yue is not in good health, so don't wait for him, and the class starts."

"Sir, Sun Yue can't come two days a month, and he is often late." Sun Gui was very dissatisfied.

Hearing Sun Gui mentioning Sun Yue, Sun Dan remembered that the Sun family had such a young genius. No wonder he always felt that something was missing when he entered the study just now, so he didn't come.

Speaking of Sun Yue, he is really a seed for reading.This person became enlightened at the age of four, could read "The Analects of Confucius" thoroughly at the age of five, and passed the county and government examinations at the age of ten.It's a pity that when he was ten years old, Sun Yue suffered from a serious illness. After three years of recuperating at home, he still hasn't recovered.Otherwise, he should have passed the exam last year. The 12-year-old Zhongju, counting with his fingers, the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 150 years, and there were only a few people such as Xie Jin, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, and all of them were cabinet ministers.

By the way, it seems that Zhang Juzheng was also elected at the age of 12.

From the looks of it, this Sun Yue should have no problem with being a Jinshi in the future. It is no wonder that when mentioning the descendants of the Sun family, the world will immediately think of the name Sun Yue.

It's a pity that this guy is too weak, and Mrs. Liu, the second room, can't bear to let her son come to the school to suffer in the cold.Therefore, Sun Yue didn't come to the school very much at all.Anyway, a genius like him reads the same everywhere.

Besides, Mr. Li in the school doesn't seem to be a good teacher, and he can't learn much from him.

According to Sun Dan's observation just now, this Mr. Li is simply a fool.It is said that he used to learn Taoism from some prefecture in Shaanxi, and he seems to have some relationship with Wang Shouren.After becoming an official, Sun Henian, the second bedroom, spent a lot of money to invite him to teach in Shandong. He was originally expected to teach several outstanding children for the Sun family.But seeing his current performance, Sun Henian would probably vomit blood with anger.

It's strange to say that Sun Henian is a famous teacher of Taoism, but he invited a disciple of Xinxue to teach. Thinking about it, it feels a little weird.

Sun Gui's dissatisfaction with Mr. Li will naturally not be taken seriously, maybe he didn't notice it at all.

Mr. Li yawned for a long time, and a layer of muddy tears appeared in his eyes: "So what?"

"This..." Sun Gui sat back in his seat angrily.

"Yawn!" The gentleman lay down again, and buried his head on the table: "I'm starting to study. I read "University" today. I will read a sentence, and you will read a sentence. .”

More than 30 mouths made a mess of voices at the same time: "Gou Rixin, Rixin, and Rixin."

"What does this sentence mean? That is to say, if one day you can make some improvements, and you can persist in self-improvement every day, then the future will be greatly improved. Well, the next sentence: 'Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed', read."

"Although Zhou is an old state, its life is restored."

"What does this sentence mean? It means...cough cough, 'a gentleman uses everything to the extreme'...cough cough..."

Seeing the drowsiness on Li Xian's face, Sun Dan couldn't help shaking his head: What kind of classes are these, they are simply studying according to the textbooks, such a teacher, anyone can be a good teacher.I heard that old scholar Li has 30 taels of Shuxiu every year, and this is not how he cheats money.

By the way, Mr. Li's name seems to be Li Meiting.

Li Meiting...how is this name so familiar, I must have heard it mentioned somewhere.

After reading a few words, it is estimated that Mr. Li is also tired of this kind of cramming education, and said in a vague tone: "I am going to bed, and we will continue the rest of the class in the afternoon. You will review by yourself, the voice of the voice Smaller." Then he tilted his head and fell asleep.

"Coax!" The students let out a burst of joyful chuckles, and they all relaxed their bodies.

Some people continued to take out books to read aloud, some people picked up pens to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and some people gathered together to chat.

Sun Dan smiled wryly and shook his head, took out the Four Treasures of the Study from the bag and put it on the table, refilled the inkstone, held a fine Taishan pine smoke ink ingot, and began to grind the ink leisurely.

Judging by Mr. Li's posture, it is impossible to wake up this morning.It was a chilly spring, and the temperature in the house was so warm that it was a good time to go to bed. Anyway, Mr. Li was busy in the school, and he didn't care much about the students' homework.

This is also good, just self-study.If you were replaced by a great teacher and followed his courses step by step, you would feel irritated just thinking about it.Sun Dan didn't think that his level of ancient Chinese was higher than that of other students in the school. He came here just to make a situation. As for the imperial examination, he had thousands of model essays in his head, and he couldn't pass any test.

As the ink spread out in the inkstone, a pleasant fragrance of ink permeated the air.The ink ingots used in the school are all custom-made by the Sun family from famous ink makers in Jinan Prefecture. Borneol and musk are added to it, which has a strange fragrance.This kind of taste is not something that modern large-scale industrial production does not have.

Smelling the familiar scent of ink and holding the Langhao brush, Sun Dan suddenly felt a little emotional.I think back when I started practicing brush calligraphy in elementary school, my thoughts at that time were simple, and what I thought was to be able to write good calligraphy after work in the future.Words are a stepping stone, and words are like people, which can give people a good first impression.Since elementary school, after more than ten years of hard work, I don't know how many brushes have been lost in writing, and how many copybooks have been turned upside down, and only then have I developed a good handwriting.After taking part in the work, he joined the Provincial Calligraphers Association.

However, no matter whether the handwriting is good or bad, it is not very useful in real life. Everyone uses computers to type, and no one still writes by hand.

But this is ancient times, and good handwriting is very useful, and it is a direct reflection of a person's cultural accomplishment.

As far as the students in the school are concerned, many people's handwriting is really not very good.Especially for those descendants of collateral lineage, the handwriting with a brush is even more unsightly, just like the handwriting of three-year-old children in later generations, it is unsightly and unsightly.

It's understandable when you think about it. Practicing calligraphy requires pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After a few years, this consumption is not small.Besides, there are no copybooks to speak of these days.Even if there are, they are treasures of the first class of antiques, such as: the authentic works of Yan Zhenqing, Mi Shi, and Huang Tingjian. --- This kind of thing is not accessible to ordinary people.

Therefore, after a quick scan, Sun Dan discovered that the best handwriting in the school were all direct descendants of the Sun family.Like Sun Hao, although he is stupid, he can write Su Dongpo with a thick and dignified hand. However, the bold and unrestrained style in Su Dahuzi's brushwork has not been fully learned, and he has become a farmer with arms and legs.And even though Sun Gui is wretched, Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Pagoda" is still decent.It is estimated that these two guys have the opportunity to enter the family library to observe everyone's authentic works on weekdays.

Among them, the best calligraphy is an unexpected character, Sun Jia.The concubine of the second room, the elegant block script, has the charm of Dong Qichang 50 years later.This is a gentle and taciturn little girl with a pointed chin, single eyelids, and a few cute little freckles on both sides of her nose.It is also because of these few sesame-sized brown embellishments that it adds a bit of vividness to her.

Sun Dan quietly glanced at the writings put on the table by the people around him, and sighed inwardly: the aristocratic family really has a deep foundation, even if the children of the family are sloppy, once they are pulled out and compared with ordinary people, they will still be superior.

He opened "Shuowen Jiezi" and was about to copy down all the commonly used traditional characters, but as soon as he picked up the pen, he remembered that in the eyes of outsiders, he was an illiterate. considered a monster.
