"hehe……!
Mr. Sima, this place is simple and there is no food. It is getting late now, so you should come back to the manor with me to have a meal! "
When Sima Hui saw Qin Yi coming back, he was too embarrassed to continue begging Qin Wuyou!
"Okay, that's enough trouble!"
Immediately, the four masters and apprentices followed Qin Yi and left the hut.
Qin Yi came out today to take his grandson for a stroll, so he didn't ride a horse.
A group of six people walked slowly towards the depths of the Peach Blossom Spring.
Although Sima Hui was chatting with Qin Yi along the way, his eyes would look at Qin Wuyou who was walking at the front from time to time.
To be precise, he should be reading the book that Xiao Wuyou is holding.
Seeing this, Jun Yi chuckled and said: "That book is an article written by the young master for children's enlightenment, and it is a primary school homework.
I think Mr. Sima's disciples are all young. If Mr. Sima likes it, he can ask the young master for a few books to teach his disciples. "
"No, no no...!" 》
After listening to Jun Yi's words, Sima Hui waved his hands repeatedly!
"I just want to see the paper used for writing. As for the articles in the book, they are too precious and I dare not ask for them."
In this era, articles and academic knowledge are only taught to his disciples, or they are passed down from father to son and passed down from generation to generation within the family. Didn't he have three apprentices himself?
"Haha..., it doesn't matter!
These articles are all primary school homework. The young master has written many kinds of them to educate the children in Peach Blossom Spring, and a large number of each kind has been printed. If the gentleman needs it, I think the young master will not refuse.
The rice paper used to make books is a specialty of our Taohuayuan.
In the whole world, except for us, it cannot be seen anywhere else. From now on, Mr. Sima can take it as he pleases.
"This...why is this...?"
Sima Hui was a little unbelievable. In his opinion, this paper must be a very precious thing. How could he be allowed to use it at will for no reason?
Jun Yi just shook his head and laughed, leaving Sima Hui with a meaningful look.
When Sima Hui was about to say something, he turned a corner and saw a very huge green brick house that he had never seen before. It was more than three feet high and had three floors.
A seven-foot-high white wall surrounds the open space outside the tile-roofed house into a two-acre yard. There are various large and small flower beds and trees inside, and there are many brightly colored murals outside the wall.
Children herding cattle, working farmers, herds of cattle and sheep, etc., you name it...!
In a room in the corner of the yard, three women were busy making lunch. The aroma of the food wafted in the breeze, making people salivate.
In the center of the courtyard is a statue that is more than ten feet tall. The ground around it is filled with all kinds of flowers, and a hundred flowers are blooming at its feet.
What the stone statue is carving is a gentle and gentle gentleman. He looks handsome, his robes are flowing in the wind, and a sword hangs on his waist. He holds a book in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, as if he wants to write something on the book, but has not yet finished writing. , as if in deep thought!
And on the front of the three-foot-high statue base, there are two large gilded characters engraved on it, Liu Yan...!
The entire base is densely engraved with small characters, which should be some of his life's deeds. Because the distance is too far, it can't be seen clearly.
There is a couplet written with flying phoenixes on the door frame of the yard...!
On the right, study hard!
On the left, upward every day!
Hengbiao, Taoyuan Primary School!
The calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, with iron paintings and silver hooks, and the calligraphy is so powerful that it puts Sima Hui, a great scholar in the world, to shame.
In the beginning, human nature is good...!
The sound of children reading came from inside the house, and people outside the door could hear it clearly.
This is another new article that Sima Hui has never heard of. He wanted to go in and take a look, but the iron gate of the yard was locked from the inside, so he had to give up!
Turning to look at Qin Yi, who was looking at the statue respectfully, he had too many things to ask now!
"Mr. Qin, who carved this statue? He looks so young, so he must be a knowledgeable person,"
Qin Yi cupped his fists at the statue and said with great respect: "This is our primary school in Taohuayuan, and the statue is my young master!"
"I see……!"
"If my prediction is correct, the elementary school you mentioned should mean the academy, right?"
"Haha, Mr. Sima doesn't know something. Our school is different from the academies outside!
The young master divided scholars into five levels, namely primary school, middle school, university, Taixue, and Erudite. "
The young master stipulates that those who do not send their children to study are guilty and need to be whipped fifty times and fined twenty taels. Those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions will be sentenced to more than three years and less than seven years of hard labor, depending on the severity of the case. If the circumstances are particularly serious, they will be fined with confiscation of family property and sentenced to more than seven years. Fixed-term imprisonment of not more than ten years.
Both boys and girls enter primary school at the age of five and need to study for six years and transfer to a middle school for three years. These nine years of education are free of charge from the common people, and all expenses are borne by the young master.
After nine years of study, an examination is required. Those with superior grades will enter university, while those with poor grades will be issued a high school diploma and go home.
Studying after middle school is not compulsory. You can read it or not, it’s up to you.
Sima Hui's outlook on life has completely collapsed, and he is in a state of confusion.
At this time, Shi Guangyuan walked up to Jun Yi and bowed to him.
"Mr. Jun, I have been studying with Master for six years. Master said that I can graduate in two years. If I follow your study method, wouldn't I have not even finished middle school?
Moreover, there are universities, Taixue, and Boxue in the back. If this continues, wouldn't it mean that people will still be in school throughout their lives and into old age? Students think this is unreasonable. "
"Tao'er, don't be rude!"
As soon as Shi Guangyuan finished speaking, Sima Hui shouted!
Although Shi Guangyuan's words were neither humble nor arrogant, his thoughts were a bit shallow after all, but he saw something else from the academic problems in this peach blossom land.
Qin Yi waved his hand with a smile, looked at Shi Guangyuan and said, "In that case, how about you compete with my granddaughter?"
He is still very confident in his precious granddaughter. This young man dares to question the young master's decision-making. He must give him some advice.
However, Shi Guangyuan glanced at Qin Wuyou, who had already run away chasing the butterfly, and said to Jun Yi: "Old sir, Miss Wuyou is still a baby of eight or nine years old. I am sixteen years old, and I am older than her." Half the size, that’s not fair.”
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Although You'er plays the piano well, she's not bad at school either.
The young master tested her last month. Her current academic level can barely reach the level of the second year of middle school, and you are about to start teaching, so there is no harm in competing.
That’s it, it’s decided, your master will come up with the questions. "
Shi Guangyuan hesitated to speak, and Sima Hui's mouth twitched, looking at Qin Yi who was walking in front with a big piano on his back and a somewhat rickety figure, with a look of helplessness on his face.
I didn't expect this old man to be so stingy. Didn't he just say that your young master's decision was unreasonable?
While they were talking, several people had arrived in front of a large manor.
This is Liu Yan's mansion, a nine-entry courtyard built according to the quadrangle courtyard of later generations, with a total area of 300,000 square meters.
Looking at the tall courtyard wall, the vermilion door, and the two mighty and domineering stone lions outside the door, the four masters and apprentices of Sima Hui swallowed their saliva. This gate alone has such a majestic momentum. It gives people a full sense of oppression.
Qin Yi led them up the steps paved with white marble. Sima Hui counted them secretly as he walked. There were eighteen steps. Only the emperor could use them. Even the prince could not use the eighteen steps. It could be said that Jun Lintian's mansion has been overstepped.
Qin Yi took out a token and handed it to the sergeant in charge of guarding. After checking it, he opened the heavy door.
Entering the house, an aura of luxury hits your face. There are carved beams and painted buildings, rockery rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions. You can see rare treasures everywhere, especially the more than ten thumb-sized balls on the edge of the grass, which exude colorful colors in the sun. The orb of light was just thrown away casually.
Sima Hui closed his eyes in great pain and turned his head, unable to bear to look!
He had been to the imperial palace and the back garden of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. At that time, he thought the scenery there was comparable to a fairyland. But now that he thinks about it, compared with the mansion in front of him, it is simply a slum.
But what he doesn't know is that the rare treasures in his eyes are just things from the modern lousy streets!
For example, the dozen orbs emitting colorful light are modern glass beads, which were given to Qin Wuyou when Liu Yan spent 5,000 reputation points on the super mall to buy ten thousand-year-old rosewood to build a piano for Qin Wuyou.
Little girls all like shiny things. Qin Wuyou originally asked to have them inlaid on her twenty-one-string piano, but Liu Yan thought the things were too rubbish, so he gave them to Qin Wuyou to make toys. .
After following Qin Yi for a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the glorious central hall!
A young man in gorgeous clothes was lying leisurely under the tall osmanthus tree in the courtyard, taking a nap.
Liu Yan built himself a rocking chair. His favorite thing every day is to lie on it and rock it.
"Master, we have a visitor!"
Qin Yi walked over gently and whispered to wake him up.
Liu Yan opened his eyes and saw Sima Hui with three disciples not far away, and hurriedly stood up to greet him!
"Mr. Shui Jing came from afar and I didn't greet you. Please forgive me!"
"Sir, do you recognize me...?"
Sima Hui was slightly startled. Qin Yi didn't introduce his name just now, but this man could call him by his nickname that not many people knew. However, he had never seen or heard his friends talk about this man.
"Ha ha ha ha……!"
"Mr. Sima's name is as loud as thunder, no one in the world knows him, no one knows him!
I have admired my husband for a long time, and I don’t want to see him today. It is such a blessing. "
Sima Hui waved his hands repeatedly, clasping his fists and saying, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a false name, it can't compare to the immortal figures like the owner of the village!"
"Haha, Mr. Shui Jing is too modest. How can a person from the mountains and wilds be called a god!"
Liu Yan immediately ordered Qin Yi, "Uncle Yi, send the order to go down and entertain the guests in the garden.
Cows and sheep are being slaughtered in the mansion. I will definitely have a few drinks with Mr. Shui Jing today. "
"Yes, Master!"
Qin Yi immediately shouted, "Young Master has an order to entertain guests in the garden."
After Qin Yi finished shouting, the guards in the mansion also shouted, "Garden to entertain guests!"
The sound spread to the back hall, and the guards in the back hall continued to shout "Welcome in the garden!".
After doing this three or four times, the sound spread to every corner of the mansion, and everyone in the mansion knew that their young master was going to entertain distinguished guests in the garden.
Everyone did not dare to neglect and began to prepare quickly!
This scene made Sima Hui a little flattered. In ancient times, there were strict etiquette for receiving, welcoming, entertaining, and seeing off guests.
