"This is my own copy of "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", etc. There are annotations in them. Read it yourself first. If there are any words or meanings that you don't understand, you can ask me at any time. There is no rush in this matter. , you just have to wait and see, you can take your time."
"This "Zuo Zhuan" was taught recently, and it ends here." Mencius turned the page to Song Jingyun and pointed it to him, "This is the lesson to be taught today. You should take a look at it now and read it thoroughly. Once again, you have to take a look at the previous content."
"As I said before, if there is anything you don't understand or understand, feel free to ask me."
"Okay, Master." Song Jingyun nodded, put away the books, and followed what Mencius said, first read the lesson to be taught today.
There were not many uncommon words, and Song Jingyun knew most of them. Occasionally, there were a few words that he needed to ask for advice on.
However, the content of "Zuo Zhuan" is much more difficult than the books he usually reads. Song Jingyun had a hard time reading it. He had to read the annotations in detail. Every time he read a section, he paused for a moment to think about it on his own before continuing. Look at the next place.
Seeing Song Jingyun sitting there quietly reading a book, Mencius' smile gradually turned into an aunt's one.
It doesn't matter if this person is talented or not, he must be talented, obedient, and calm.
And now, he met this professional person!
Sure enough, it was me who murmured my thoughts every day and finally moved God?
Mencius decided that when he went home tonight, he must offer another stick of incense to God.
The students came in one after another. When they saw a new face, they were all quite curious. However, Mencius listened and they did not dare to talk too much. They only looked at Mencius and then looked at Song Jingyun. curious.
"Today, a new student came to our academy."
Mencius cleared his throat and said loudly, "His name is..."
Oops, I was so excited that I forgot to ask my name again!
Mencius paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What is your name?"
"Song Jingyun."
"Today, a new student came to our academy, named Song Jingyun. He will study with you from now on. Jingyun didn't study much before, so you still need to ask him for more advice."
Mencius fell to the ground after hearing what he said, and all the students present were immediately surprised.
Since Song Jingyun didn't study much, it was natural that Song Jingyun would ask them for advice. How could it be that they asked Song Jingyun for advice?
But what is surprising is that since the Master said this, he probably has his own reasons?
The lecture is about to begin, and the students don't think too much about it. They just pack up and prepare to listen to the lecture.
On the contrary, when Jiang Chunbao heard these words, he was first stunned, then surprised, and then angry.
Song Jingyun, the son-in-law who married into the Sanfang family, actually came to the academy to study, and was taught by Master Meng?
He had never heard of what books Song Jingyun had read or what academy he attended. Even if he really came to study, he should be taught by Master Zhang, definitely not by Master Meng.
And Master Meng seemed to take good care of him and was quite proud of him?
Jiang Chunbao had never seen that kind of triumphant expression. Even when he wrote an article that even Master Zhang praised, Master Meng just looked indifferent, as if he thought everything was as it should be.
But now...
But why.
Jiang Chunbao couldn't understand.
Also confused are the other students.
After class, there was a lot of discussion.
"I remember that Chang Mao studied that seat earlier. Since he was admitted as a scholar and went to the county school to study, that seat has been empty."
"I also remember that the master vaguely said before that if anyone can be as diligent and studious as Chang Mao School, he can sit in that position, which can be regarded as a blessing."
"But this man, Master said he hasn't read much."
"Yes, I just chatted with him, and he said that he was back to the academy for the first time."
"Why does the master take such good care of him?"
"I saw that the books he read were all in Master's handwriting. I think he copied them himself..."
"Why else?" Jiang Chunbao curled his lips and sneered, "It's just that the family is rich."
"How do you say that? Do you know this Song Jingyun?" Seeing Jiang Chunbao say this, everyone gathered around him, "What did you mean by saying that his family is rich just now?"
"Of course I know him. This man is my cousin's husband, the son-in-law who came to the third uncle's family." Jiang Chunbao said, "The third uncle and my cousin do everything possible in business, and the family is getting rich day by day. Now he probably feels that the money is not enough, so he is sent to the academy to study?"
"Master has always been above the top, but this time he is so partial to him. If you say there is no problem in it, I don't believe it anyway..."
When everyone heard what Jiang Chunbao said, first you looked at me, then I looked at you, and then took half a step back.
Then, they dispersed and returned to their seats, no longer discussing matters related to Song Jingyun.
But when he looked at Jiang Chunbao, there was also a hint of academy or sneer in his eyes.
Jiang Chunbao was suddenly confused, "Hey, you guys..."
"Do you really dare to say that you suspect Master Meng of accepting money to show favoritism?" A student next to him who was slightly older than Jiang Chunbao had a face full of sarcasm, "We all know Master Meng's character. I would definitely not do such a thing.”
"Exactly, since the master has arranged it like this, it means that there must be something unique about Song Jingyun, but we haven't noticed it yet."
"What you said was so unpleasant, and you said that Song Jingyun's family does whatever it takes to make money. Is it possible that you have some issues with his family?"
"I think it's 80% correct. Judging from the gnashing of teeth he said, it's probably because Song Jingyun's family is wealthy, so he's unhappy in his heart."
"Tsk, this is really narrow-minded. This book is a waste of time..."
Listening to those people's discussion, Jiang Chunbao's face turned red and white, and he opened his mouth many times. In the end, he couldn't say a word and could only clenched his fists.
How come these people have such vicious mouths!
Mencius came to class again, and everyone became quiet again.
After clearing his throat, Meng Ziting picked up the scroll in his hand and said, "The article I talked about in the last class..."
"Jingyun, come and read it again."
Recite?
The students present suddenly looked at each other.
This is a new lesson taught today. Although they listened to the Master and previewed it yesterday, they only read it thoroughly. If they want to recite it, it will take two days.
But now the Master wants Song Jingyun, a man who has not studied for a few days and is coming to the academy to study on his first day, to recite?
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Song Jingyun said "yes", then slowly stood up and started reading from the beginning the article that Master Meng had just said.
His pronunciation was clear and his speaking speed was neither fast nor slow. He recited what he had just said word for word.
