Several people beside Zhang Yue looked over.
The eldest man stood up and said: "I am Mr. Xu Mingchang from Jinshizhai. Do you dare to ask some of them who were recruited by Jinke Examination?"
Everyone stood up together and said: "That's right, I have met senior brother."
The man looked at Zhang Yue and said, "I heard that the name of the first place in Jinke Jingsheng Examination is Zhang Yue. Do you dare to ask if he is the one who ranks first?"
Zhang Yue said: "A humble name is not worth mentioning. I am Zhang Yue."
The man nodded, and several people on the side looked astonished, and then said: "I admire you for being so talented at such a young age!"
Guo Lin, Wu Rang, and Qian Qiming were all envious of him. Zhang Yue ranked first in the admission test, and with a perfect pass, he had already become famous in the entire county school.
After everyone finished eating and left the restaurant, Zhang Yue couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Is it difficult to be the first in the exam? Is it difficult to pass all the exams?"
The three people on the side were speechless when they heard this. Aren't your words shocking?
Wu Rang said first: "My dear brother, I don't know something. Most of the students in the county school are specially recruited. It seems that we only get less than 30% from the examination."
"Students in the county school have a high regard for the admission test. Not to mention that you ranked first in the admission test. It would be even more amazing if you ranked first in the Jinshi subject."
Zhang Yue suddenly said: "I understand. Special recruitment is like an official position obtained by relying on ancestors' Yin. Our recruitment examination is like an official position obtained by passing the Jinshi examination."
Wu Rang and Qian Qiming both smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, this metaphor is very appropriate. If you are the first in economics, it is like being the first in all subjects."
Zhang Yue nodded.
"However, after entering the county school, there will be a private examination every month and a public examination every year. We, the classical students, will be divided into nine classics, five classics, three rites, and three transmissions, and we will teach them academically. Then we will have to sleep separately again. "
"Oh, why do you say that?"
Wu Rang said: "We, the classics students, have read more by ourselves, and our husband has taught us less. Most of us study by ourselves in the studio. We sleep in the same subject, supervise and learn from each other, and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses."
"What subjects are you planning to apply for?"
Qian Qiming lowered his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. My family wants me to study the Nine Classics, but I don't have much confidence."
Zhang Yue Guo Lin looked at each other and said, "We all want to apply for the Nine Classics."
Wu Rang sighed: "I really envy you brothers. I am old, and my ability in studying and reciting books is only above average. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to get the Five Classics subject. What's more, even if I pass the Five Classics subject, I will not be very promising. It's not as good as You Jiu Jing Ke.”
Everyone was a little sad that the economics department was different from the Jinshi department. Jinshi subjects write articles, and the effort of this article depends on accumulation over time. Like Su Shi, the articles are written much better in the later stages.
But economics and biology are different. You should study when you are young and your memory is at its best. After the age of thirty, your memory will decline.
"If I were two or three years younger, I might try the Nine Classics. But it's fate that I can meet you." Wu Rang said with a smile.
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin glanced at each other. It was only the first day that they had to say goodbye.
But a few people had no time to sigh, the drums were already ringing, it was time to start class.
But seeing all the students in front and behind him running at a fast pace, Zhang Yue followed suit. This time he went to class not long after he had eaten. This was the first time he had seen such a tense study life.
There are more than a hundred people in Jingshengzhai, which can only be barely accommodated in the main hall.
As for the more than 200 people in Jinshizhai, they have to stand in the courtyard.
All the students in the hall were sitting on the floor and kneeling.
The county school student was slowly walking onto the podium, and beside him was Assistant Professor Sun from the state school.
Xue is the title, and the official position in the court still calls him professor.
Xuezheng glanced majestically at the audience and then began to speak.
But Jianxue Zhengyan said: "A hundred rivers learn from the sea and become the sea; the hills learn from the mountains but do not become mountains. Why? Diligence..."
Zhang Yue listened to Xuezheng's first sentence and quoted a famous sentence from Yang Xiong's "Fayan". The meaning of this sentence is that rivers are like the sea, flowing endlessly and finally reaching the sea, and hills are like mountains and are motionless, but they can never be higher than mountains. .
Why is this?
Because the ancients didn't know what crustal movement and inland rivers were.
Of course, learning righteously means studying diligently. If you study hard day and night like a river, you will eventually achieve what you want. If you stay motionless like a mountain, you will never make any progress.
Guo Lin and all the scripture students listened with rapt attention and were moved. This was probably the first lecture for the county school entrance students.
This made Zhang Yue think of the content of the principal's lecture on the radio when the school started in the past. At that time, he drank the bowl of chicken soup with gusto, but for some reason, when he thought about it so many years later, he could never forget the touching feeling.
Obviously Qian Qiming, Wu Rang and others also fell into such beauty, and Guo Lin regarded Fan Zhongyan as a role model.
Next, Xuezheng emphasized clothing. Needless to say, short bald scarves, for example, are definitely not allowed.
As for tying up their hair, many scholars casually tie their hair in buns. Some buns hang naturally, even half-up, or even half-up, which is strictly prohibited in county schools.
As for not being tied up at all, it means that the person is bald and needs to be locked up in the court according to the school regulations.
Zhang Yue whispered to Guo Lin: "Brother, I can't tie my hair well. If you need help in the future, I will do it."
"good."
"Silence!" Dan saw the chief of the village looking over and glaring at Zhang Yue and Guo Lin.
Zhang Yue felt heartbroken. Was he going to deduct money?
But when he saw Xuezheng, he said again: "The county school has private examinations every month and public examinations every year. In the private examinations of Jingshi Zhai, I will test nine classics each."
"Out of the ten questions, passing six questions will be regarded as passing, and those who fail will be dismissed. You can choose one or several classics to take the test every month. If you pass more than one, you can consider it as high or low, and you will be exempted from fasting and money. Those who are excellent will be admitted to the county school for life. If you are given rice, those who excel in the annual examination can enroll in the state school and go to the Imperial College to take the examination!"
Zhang Yue immediately became more motivated to study after hearing this. He could have said these words earlier! As for "the hundreds of rivers learn from the sea and become the sea, the hills learn from the mountains but not the mountains" is completely useless to me.
Before everyone in the hall dispersed, Xuezheng called out the names of several people, including Zhang Yue.
After Xuezheng explained to several people, he smiled at Zhang Yue and said, "I heard about your brother Zhong. It's a pity! But it doesn't matter. I got your paper in front of you, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, "You sounded like my second brother abandoned Jinshi and was going to kick me out of the county school."
"You must try the Nine Classics in the future!"
Zhang Yue said: "Report to learn rectification, that's exactly what it is."
"Have ambition! You are only thirteen years old and have already mastered the Five Classics. You can even go to the prodigy department. However, in recent years, the prodigy department has declined. I will not recommend you to pursue this path. You must rely on your own talents to learn and understand. Try the province, try the palace, try to get through every level."
"Thank you Xue Zheng for your encouragement."
Xuezhengdao: "I hope you can master the nine classics within one year. In this way, I can guarantee you the benefit of giving rice to you for life, and in addition, you can become a scholar of classics!"
"I dare to ask Xuezheng, what is the study of classics?"
Xuezheng smiled gently and said: "I don't spend much time studying, but I am a leader in the classics. I teach classics to my classmates and explain their doubts!"
Zhang Yue said: "How can students learn from Zhengtai's promotion?"
Xuezheng said with a smile: "Don't be humble. Your brother Zhong entered the county school at the age of twelve. At the age of fifteen, he was already the head of the Jinshi School, teaching all the students on behalf of Xuezheng. His academic articles are all admired by his classmates. And you If you enter the county school at the age of thirteen, it should not be difficult to master the first and second classics! Don't let me down!"
