A few days later, Lin Zhennan returned as scheduled, and there was a burst of joy in the house. Mrs. Wang complained to Lin Zhennan many times, asking him not to go out as a dart now. After all, every time he goes out as an escort, there are risks. Unfortunately, Lin Zhennan always has a yearning for the martial arts. On weekdays, Most of the people he made friends with were martial arts people. He often mentioned his experiences in martial arts in front of Li Jie, and he always looked complacent.
Li Jie did not comment on Lin Zhennan's showoff. He didn't know that the so-called martial arts people he had made friends with were really not worthy of publicity. Most of them were just ordinary people. Others only approached you because you were rich. You are good to me when things are going well. Hello everyone, once we encounter danger, we will fly away when the disaster strikes.
During dinner in the evening, Li Jie took the opportunity to request that he study. Lin Zhennan pondered for a long time and then pinched his beard and said slowly: "Pingzhi, why do you want to study? I wonder why my Lin family has a reputation in the Fujian martial arts world. I don't want to Who is going to study something like this in order to inherit the martial arts inherited from the family?"
"I want to get the honor and become a high official, so that I can protect you, and also honor my ancestors; and there is no conflict between studying and practicing martial arts, I can definitely do both." Li Jie said with a firm face.
"Nonsense! Don't you know that learning everything is easy? Is the imperial examination so easy to pass? Don't you see that many Confucian students are just boys by the time they pass the exam? They can't even pass the exam, so what's the point of studying it? Lin Zhennan said with an angry look.
Seeing Lin Zhennan's objection, Li Jie smiled. His dissatisfaction was understandable. After all, three generations of the Lin family had been in the martial arts world, so the sudden mention of studying for the imperial examination was not acceptable for a while.
"People in the martial arts world will not be obedient in front of the court even if they are powerful. No matter how good they are in martial arts, they can only be defeated by a hundred people. They are nothing in front of the government."
"I don't know if Dad has ever heard the saying that all things are inferior, only those who are educated are superior. Although the child does not agree with this statement, there is no doubt that scholars have a higher status in front of the world."
"What's more, when I'm studying, I won't fall behind in my family's martial arts skills. I can be tested from time to time."
Seeing that Lin Zhennan was still unmoved, Li Jie continued: "Either make a five-year agreement. If the child cannot make any difference in the imperial examination within five years, I will focus on practicing martial arts and not think about him."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhennan slowly nodded. In his opinion, Lin Pingzhi will only be 10 years old in five years, and everything will still be in time. In addition, he will teach him the evil-fighting sword technique when he is older. The unique skill itself is a quick success method. When I was young and saw the eight characters at the beginning of "If you want to practice this skill, you must first commit suicide", I really couldn't bear to cut it. This time Pingzhi because of this Illness caused damage to Jingguan, but it was just a good time to practice.
After seeing Lin Zhennan nodding in agreement, Li Jie felt relieved. The rest depends on his own efforts. He himself is not bad at learning and with the improvement of his understanding of the system, there is no reason why he can't learn well.
In the next few days, Lin Zhennan traveled around, trying to find a famous teacher to teach Li Jie. Unfortunately, most people were unmoved. The talented ones were either interested in taking the imperial examinations and had no intention of teaching young children alone, or they opened their own private schools and had no time to come. In the end, someone suggested to him that he didn’t need to ask so much for enlightenment. After mastering the elementary education, he could go to a private school to ask someone to teach him. In the end, Lin Zhennan compromised and chose an older Confucian scholar from among the candidates. The main reason was that he was a student, so he forced him to Come apply for the job due to the pressure of life.
The next day, Lin Zhennan led the old scholar Qian to his home and introduced him to Li Jie's preliminary situation on the way. Although Li Jie knew ancient Chinese, he still needed to adapt to using simplified Chinese characters. In the eyes of others, he was still a person. Illiterate, unable to read a single big character.
"Pingzhi, let me introduce to you that this is Qian Xiucai. From now on, he will teach you how to read and write. Remember to study hard." Lin Zhennan said to Li Jie seriously.
"Hello, sir, student Lin Pingzhi, please take care of me in the future." Li Jie bowed and bowed.
The old scholar Qian nodded slightly to show his knowledge, and then Lin Zhennan took the two of them to the recently renovated study room. The four treasures of the study room were all available. There was a desk made of huanghuali in the middle of the room, and various pen holders were placed on the desk. It has a fine inkstone, the paper is fine rice paper, and the pen is the world-famous Hu pen produced in Huzhou.
The old scholar Qian looked around, his eyes lit up and then he nodded. He seemed to be very satisfied with the environment here. After that, Lin Zhennan left the study, leaving only two people in the study.
"I was invited to come and teach you. I will teach you for one hour every morning (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and for an hour in the afternoon (13 a.m. to 15 p.m.). You need to be prepared for two hours every day." Qian Xiucai stroked his beard and said slowly. (In the future, time will be written in modern timing, which is more convenient)
“Students know it and don’t know where to start.”
"Most of my Ming Dynasty elementary students started studying the Three Character Classic, One Hundred Family Surnames, and The Thousand Character Classic. Let's start with the Three Character Classic and start teaching today."
…………
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to be specialized. In the past, Meng's mother chose a neighbor. If a son does not learn, he will lose his opportunity."
…
After finishing teaching, Qian Xiucai first wrote it out on the desk one by one, and then explained the meaning of it sentence by sentence.
In traditional elementary school, although the Three Character Classic seems to be easy to understand, in fact it contains astronomy and geography, emperors of past dynasties, ancient sages and sages, etc. The core of Confucianism is in it. It combines the knowledge of various parts of the classics and history, and is widely used. It is used in elementary schools all over the country to enlighten young children.
Li Jie looked forward to the teaching in ancient times. He originally thought that teachers would be very rigid and ask students to read it over and over again. The meaning of the book would appear after reading it a hundred times. In fact, Qian Xiucai's teaching is not like this. Instead, it is interspersed with references to characters or classic incidents in the Three Character Classic from time to time. However, the arguments cited in it are all ancient sayings. If Li Jie had not been a little bit familiar with ancient prose, he would be afraid. If you can't keep up, for the average Mengtong, it is probably just like talking about the heavenly book.
Li Jie was already familiar with the content of Professor Sun Xiucai in the main world.
"Sir, I have learned all these and can read the words. Isn't it time to hand in the next part?"
"What? How dare you, a naughty boy, talk nonsense!" Sun Xiucai clearly didn't believe Li Jie's words and replied angrily.
"Sir, you can take the test on me. If I don't know how to do it, I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
Just now, Sun Xiucai has been teaching, "It is the father's fault if he does not teach; if he does not teach strictly, it is the teacher's fault." "There are fifty words in total. I can't believe Li Jie's boast. I think Li Jie is entertaining him, so I am very angry."
After checking Li Jie's learning results, Sun Xiucai was extremely shocked. After a while, he still felt unbelievable about the facts before him. Then he came to Lin Zhennan and asked him if Li Jie had studied the Three Character Classic before. After receiving a negative reply from Lin Zhennan, Then there was silence for a while.
After taking the test again, Li Jie still answered fluently and without any mistakes. Then he excitedly said to Lin Zhennan: "Prodigy! Prodigy! Mr. Lin, your son is the smartest child I have ever seen in my life. I will definitely know it." Teach him carefully!"
Lin Zhennan smiled from ear to ear when he heard Sun Laoxiucai's praise. Now he somewhat believed that Li Jie could make a difference in the imperial examination.
…
After the day's teaching was over, Sun Xiucai composed himself before leaving, and said to Li Jie in a deep tone: "Be aware that diligence is the basis, and you should work three times in the morning. I hope you can persevere in the future and don't waste your talents. "
