Speaking of Mr. Zicheng, that's really amazing. He came first in the Jinke Examination. The emperor thought of his outstanding talent and specially asked him to teach in James Mansion.
Mr. Zicheng is an anomaly among the many teachers in James Mansion. Most teachers here just teach casually and turn a blind eye to classroom discipline.
It's not that these gentlemen are deliberately trying to catch fish and not teach them well, but they really can't teach them well. Think about it, these young people in front of you are all sons of nobles, and the elders in the family are all leaders in the military. They have been rewarded all year round. Most of the disciples have high-ranking sinecures. In terms of rank, they are higher than the masters in James's house. What's more, they have been knighted by the emperor since birth. With such status, how can you teach them?
But Mr. Zicheng is a very rigid person. As a teacher, he naturally has to teach these noble children in front of him well.
When Mr. Zicheng first came here, all the noble disciples didn't take him seriously, but later they found out that Mr. Zicheng actually knew how to corporally punish students. Is that okay? The noble children may not be very knowledgeable, but due to the influence of their families, they are all good at wielding swords and sticks. If you, Mr. Zicheng, dare to use corporal punishment, don't blame us for resisting.
Then the noble disciples discovered Mr. Zicheng’s hidden skills. He actually knew martial arts, and he was very powerful. None of the noble disciples in the entire James Mansion could be an opponent of Mr. Zicheng. If he couldn’t defeat him with force, then use Put pressure on your status.
But the noble disciples also discovered that their elders seemed to have been bribed by Mr. Zicheng. Anyone who did not study hard in James's house would be beaten when they returned home. Over time, these noble disciples understood the situation clearly, and never No matter how he is in front of other gentlemen, as long as he meets Mr. Zicheng, he is guaranteed to be as honest as a quail.
Today, it was Mr. Zicheng's turn to attend class again. The noble disciples all cursed in their hearts, but they sat down obediently, looking like good students.
Mr. Zicheng didn't say much. He looked at everyone, then picked up the book and took the lead in reading aloud: "The way of heaven prevails and nature develops. Everything with sounds, colors, appearances and images that fills the space between heaven and earth is a thing. Since there are such things, Then the reason why they are things is that they all have their own natural principles and cannot tolerate themselves. They are all endowed by heaven and cannot be done by humans..."
Classical Chinese is such a headache. Before Zhang Ren traveled through time, he was a poor student. He didn't know many simplified Chinese characters. Now when faced with traditional Chinese characters and classical Chinese, it was like one head and two big ones. After a while, Zhang Ren was drooping. His eyelids felt sleepy and he fell asleep without realizing it.
The person sitting next to Zhang Ren was the lonely young boy whom the prince had secretly seen before. This young boy didn't talk much on weekdays and had no friends around him. Zhang Ren had taken the initiative to show his kindness several times, but they were all ignored by him. The young man refused to stay thousands of miles away. After a long time, Zhang Ren naturally no longer used his hot face to touch other people's cold buttocks.
Seeing Zhang Ren dozing off, the young boy was a little worried. He dared to sleep during Mr. Zicheng's class. Wasn't this seeking death? The little boy also had good intentions. Before Mr. Zicheng noticed this, he secretly poked Zhang Ren twice.
Zhang Ren suddenly woke up and looked back to see Mr. Zicheng still reading a book far away. Then he glared at the young boy angrily and raised his fist. The meaning was obvious, "Young Master, I fell asleep." Okay, don't bother me!
The young boy sighed, shook his head and ignored Zhang Ren.
At this moment, Zhang Ren was even more sleepy. He picked up a book and placed it in front of his face and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but Zhang Ren vaguely heard several "dong dong" sounds. He looked up sleepily and found Mr. Zicheng standing in front of him, knocking on the table.
Mr. Zicheng said angrily: "What? Did you fall asleep again?"
Zhang Ren quickly shook his head and explained: "No, no, I haven't fallen asleep in class since you knocked me out of bed last time. Aren't I just holding a book and listening to your class?"
As Zhang Ren spoke, he did not forget to pick up the book that was covering his face and motion to Mr. Zicheng.
It's okay if I don't explain it. The more I explain it, the angrier Mr. Zicheng becomes.
"I'm talking about "Zhuzi", but you're reading "Zhuangzi" with a copy of it, and you're reading it backwards? What's the matter? You've become more knowledgeable? Now you're memorizing it backwards?"
Zhang Ren looked at the book in his hand and found that he had knocked it down. However, this kid's mental quality was definitely above the standard, and he immediately explained: "Mr. Zicheng, you don't know, I have been studying hard recently, and I have been studying "Zhuangzi" at home. Isn't this also a question that just occurred to me, and I couldn't bear it? Just open it and study it."
Mr. Zicheng obviously didn't believe what Zhang Ren said and asked, "Is this true?"
Zhang Ren nodded, "The sky is blue and deep. My heart for learning is true."
Mr. Zicheng nodded and said, "Very good. I won't make it difficult for you. I'll just test you casually."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ren's heart went cold. Let alone taking the exam, he still couldn't recognize all the traditional Chinese characters in "Zhuangzi"...
I saw Mr. Zicheng pointing his finger at one place and asked: "Just the page you just read upside down. Just this sentence, 'It is better to forget each other in the world.' What do you mean?"
Zhang Ren's heart, which had been half cold, suddenly became warm again. Isn't this a coincidence? Having traveled from the next life, how can I still not understand the meaning of mutual support?
Zhang Ren looked confident, clearing his throat and said: "We are talking about love!"
Now it was Mr. Zicheng's turn to look confused, "Love?"
Zhang Ren nodded firmly and continued: "Yes, mutual support is about love, but with the following sentence, it is about freedom. No matter how mutual love is, it will inevitably restrict freedom. If you feel If it’s not suitable, it’s better to forget about each other and break up as soon as possible. The sages have also said that life is precious and love is more valuable. If it’s for freedom, you can throw away both!”
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he still raised his eyebrows at Mr. Zicheng, thinking proudly in his heart, Praise me now. Praise me now.
But what greeted Zhang Ren was no praise, but Mr. Zicheng's flying kick. Zhang Ren was kicked away. While gliding in the air, Zhang Ren was still thinking, could his explanation be wrong?
Mr. Zicheng used some tricks with his flying kick. It didn't hurt Zhang Ren's body, but he had to suffer some physical pain when he landed on the ground.
"You can't teach a child! You stood up in class today! If there's another time, I won't let you go easy!"
Zhang Ren originally wanted to argue a few words, but in his heart he was still a little afraid of Mr. Zicheng's force, so he could only rub his buttocks and obediently walked aside and stood there.
Zhang Ren stood there until the end of get out of class, and Mr. Zicheng didn't forget to glare at him before he left.
