The teaching contents of Guozijian mainly focus on the "Four Books and Five Classics". In addition, they also learn a series of agricultural and handicraft knowledge that can benefit people's livelihood, such as "The Essentials of Qi Min" and "Tiangong Kaiwu". This morning, the lecturers at the Imperial College mainly taught "Dajing Laws" and "Imperial Imperial Edicts", but only to older graduates. As for those supervisors who are still young children, they still mainly write poems and poems.
I found the secluded Yong where the little girl from the Bai family was. Standing outside the window, I could hear the old teacher reading the song "Monster" in a strong local accent.
"Chichi, a gangster, embraces cloth and trades silk. Bandits come to trade silk, and they come to seek my help."
...
"It's okay to say that a scholar is too lazy. But it's hard to explain that a woman is too lazy."
Gui Qing was fascinated by what she was listening to, and she read softly: "We grow old together, and the old makes me resentful. Qi has a bank, and Xi has a pan. At the banquet of the president, he talked and laughed, and made vows without thinking about the opposite. , but if you don’t think about it, that’s enough.”
The whole story of "Monster" ends here. The sound of reading aloud in the room gradually stopped. The old man suddenly coughed violently, one after another, as if his lungs were about to be coughed out.
Qin Fang stood on the side of the window, looked in, and said softly: "I'm curious why this old man is still teaching here at such an old age, right? And the Imperial College is the highest institution in the world, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, why would he let him An old man who doesn’t even speak Mandarin comes in to teach?”
Gui Qing replied: "I know, he told me once."
"Don't always be him, he is your brother. You won't lose a piece of meat when you call me brother."
Qin Fang paused deliberately and spoke in a longer voice, "Or do you want to be a sister?"
I remember a man once asked her this question, "If you could choose again, would you like to be my sister or my sister?"
The man thought that she would definitely say the word "sister" without hesitation, because from childhood to middle school, she had shown to be strong and domineering, like a cold sister, and there was no side of a sister who should obey her brother.
But her answer caught the man off guard.
She said: "Of course it's my sister."
Because compared with her brother, her sister is a child after all, and if a child does something wrong, her brother always has to forgive her.
Of course, even though she still wanted to be a "sister" in her heart, she still didn't want to call her "brother" again and again.
Qin Fang also understands this very well. When her daughter treats outsiders, she can be described as "cold-faced and cold-hearted" and shows no mercy. When she treats family members, she seems to treat outsiders no differently, but in fact she is "cold-faced and warm-hearted." This is extremely obvious in her treatment of Giliu.
Of course, it can't be called "cold-faced and warm-hearted" now. After all, there was a beautiful and charming daughter in front of her just now.
Gui Qing did not answer Qin Fang's question, and looked through the window at the little girl sitting upright, holding a scroll.
There is no doubt that if the old man's cough cannot be stopped, his life will be in danger. The aging people are not like those centuries-old trees with towering leaves and luxuriant leaves. Just like a small tree as thin as a bamboo chopstick, it may die young if there is a little bit of wind and rain.
So Gui Qing stretched out her jade hand and gently touched the old man's cough. His face became rosy and radiant.
The moment Guiqing took back her hand, her red lips suddenly opened slightly, a little surprised. Qin Fang was a little confused and a little surprised. You know, her daughter rarely behaves like this.
"What happened just now?" Qin Fang lowered her voice.
Guiqing frowned slightly, "He seems to be able to sense my existence."
"How is that possible? The methods used by the great monks of the Twelve Realms to hide their bodies may be difficult for even the saints of the three religions to detect. And he is not a monk, so it is impossible for him to detect you."
Gui Qing shook her head, "Just when I stopped my hand, he looked this way and smiled at me."
Qin Fang was a little surprised at this time, but after thinking about it, she always felt that it was too ridiculous for a mortal to be able to detect an overhaul of the Twelve Realms.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Guiqing stared at the old man in the room for a long time and said calmly, "You will know once you try it."
After the old man stopped coughing, of course he continued to teach the song "Monster". I just read it a few times. Now it’s time to start explaining the meaning.
A strong local accent came from the room again. Qin Fang was thinking seriously about why the accent in southern Gansu was so different from that in northern Jiangxi. However, she accidentally caught a glimpse of her daughter's body leaning forward slightly, with her hands on the window frame, listening extremely hard. serious.
Just listen to the old man speaking slowly, "The poem "Meng" tells the love story of a young man and woman. "Chichi" means honest and honest. "Mangzhichichi" means "honest". The male protagonist holds cloth in his arms in exchange for silk. In the next two sentences, the first word is the word "bandit", which reveals that the drunkard's intention is not to drink. He is not really here to exchange things for things, but to find an opportunity to talk. marriage."
"Send the son over to Qi, as for Dunqiu. Send the man to the west of Qishui, and fall in love with him at Dunqiu."
The old gentleman put down the book, stroked his beard and smiled: "We will see you again after thousands of miles. Look at this woman, how infatuated she is."
"What happened after we sent her away? What happened to the woman? Does anyone know?"
"She's crying!" replied a little boy in the audience.
"That's right." The old man squinted and said with a smile: "Ride on the other side of the wall to see the return of the pass. When I don't see the return of the pass, I burst into tears. Look, this infatuated woman is crying because she can't see her lover after one pass after another. What's it like?"
The old man suddenly shouted, "But such a foolishly infatuated woman was let down by a simple and honest man!"
"I have been poor since I was three years old. Women are unhappy, and scholars behave badly. Scholars are also reckless and have only two or three virtues."
The old man slammed the table, looked around the audience and asked: "I am a wife at the age of three, and I have to work hard at home! Since I married into your family, I have been a woman for three years after my marriage, and I have worked hard on heavy housework. But what about you?" As for being violent, you were not like this before. You were so honest and honest back then, and you proposed to me on the grounds of trade. But after we got married, why did you do violence to me? I didn’t do anything wrong as my wife, it was you Men are too unruly. You are capricious, but I am already overwhelmed."
The old man said solemnly: "If a man wants to fall in love with a woman, it is too easy to change his mind, even if he loses his temper. But once a woman falls in love with a man and wants to break away, she is not abiding by women's ways. She will not be able to build a chastity memorial after her death." If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Even if the couple is not harmonious, they can only endure it for the rest of their lives and cannot escape."
"So it is said in "Meng" that the arrogance of scholars can still be said. The arrogance of women cannot be said. And this is the etiquette before the Dajing Dynasty. Is it absurd or not, arrogant or not?"
"Half of the people in this room today are little girls. But as you know, the Imperial College in the past two dynasties did not allow women to study inside. The concept of favoring boys over girls has been around for more than five hundred years since the Sui Dynasty. The concept has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From the royal family to the common people, they all feel that women are useless and useful. It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change the nature. At the beginning of the founding of Dajing, it took a full hundred years to correct this trend. So today you can sit here and read as equals, and you can listen to me teach "Mang", you have to thank the ancestors of the Dajing Dynasty. Just like me, I can stand here and teach like a jade, I have to thank those who fought to create a piece of peace. Heroes of the prosperous times.”
After saying this, the old gentleman closed the book and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm done with this "Rogue"."
There was a commotion in the audience, which lasted for a while. Finally, a little girl named Bai stood up boldly and said, "Sir, you haven't explained the last paragraph yet."
The old man smiled and said, "Then please read the last paragraph."
The little girl didn't understand what it meant, but she still picked up the book and started reading aloud.
"At the president's banquet, he talked and laughed...but he didn't think about it, so that's it."
After reading, she put down the book and looked at the old man.
"Understood?" The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The little girl shook her head, "How can you understand if you don't explain?"
"It doesn't matter, you will always understand in the future." The old man said loudly: "Children, I hope you understand a truth. Sometimes life is your real teacher. It teaches you more than any other teacher in the world. Everything is better."
"Do you have any other questions?"
The old man tapped the table with his ruler. This is a consistent tradition. If there are no problems after three times, get out of class will be over.
It is definitely difficult for a group of innocent and ignorant children to understand a bitter love story. There are bound to be many questions, but these questions are not suitable to ask, nor are they suitable to be answered now.
The room was very quiet, and all the children looked at the old man eagerly, seemingly full of desire for lunch.
The old man was also hungry now, so he put down his ruler and put his hands behind his back. "No problem, let's get over get out of class."
The room suddenly erupted with all kinds of laughter and noise, as it always does after class. The old man picked his ears, lowered his head and was about to step off the podium, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of dazzling white from the corner of his eye. Then, the noise disappeared in an instant. It could no longer be described as silence, but dead silence.
Just because a woman in a white dress walked in without any warning.
The old man frowned slightly. He had some impression of the woman's face. He must have seen her somewhere before, but it was so long ago that he has forgotten it now.
"Is something wrong?" He looked at this woman who looked truly stunning.
"I have a question to ask." The woman smiled.
The old man raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand, "You all go to eat, you have nothing to do here."
Hearing these words, the children exploded again and ran out like crazy one by one. A table was even knocked over, the four treasures of the study were smashed, and ink splashed on the floor.
Soon, everyone else in the room left, leaving only the little girl surnamed Bai. Her short stature was carrying a tall broom, cleaning up the pool of ink.
"Are you confused about the "Hunter" article just now?"
Gui Qing nodded and said: "Exactly. I just sat in on a class, and suddenly I had doubts in my heart. Why did we grow old together and become old and make me resentful in the end? Why did the mulberry leaves not fall in the first place, and finally became old? Will it turn into a fallen mulberry tree, turn yellow and die?"
The old man was stunned and said seriously: "Are you asking me why I betrayed me after I loved you so deeply at the beginning? You must know that everything in the world is reasonable, but love is unreasonable. You don't have to have something to love someone. Reason, I don’t know why I love you, but if I don’t get what I want, I will be convinced and toss and turn. Similarly, there is no need for a reason if you don’t love someone. The oath of love at the beginning, if it turns into a pampas grass rock in the end There may be a reason for being so mean. But if there is no reason, don't dig into it, don't ask 'why' and 'why', am I not doing a good enough job? Just be like the woman in "The Gangster", But if you don’t think about it, that’s fine, just look forward.”
After the woman heard this, she was speechless for a long time and did not leave.
The old man asked cautiously: "Are you broken in love?"
The woman shook her head, "It's not me, it's my brother."
"Brother?" the old man sighed: "Oh, lovers in the world will eventually become brothers and sisters."
Gui Qing suddenly narrowed her eyes.
She had some respect for the old man just now, but now, she just wanted to say the words "old man".
Suddenly, a pair of small hands pulled up the hem of Guiqing's skirt and gently tied it into a knot.
It turned out that the skirt was stained with ink. The purpose of holding it up is not only to look good, but also to avoid getting infected again.
Gui Qing rubbed the little girl's head. The cold look on her face was gone. She smiled softly and said, "Sister, I'm here to see you."
