Wei Chen said resolutely: "The teacher's kindness in preaching and teaching will never be forgotten by the disciples. If it weren't for the teacher, how could the disciples be where they are today? Therefore, I ask the teacher to give me a title."
The joy on Zhuang Jun's face flashed away, he coughed lightly and said calmly: "You are what you are today because of your own efforts, and what you do for the teacher is just the icing on the cake.
However, since the disciple has invited me, it’s hard for me as a teacher to refuse. It just so happens that the teacher has received something from me in the past few days. "
Wei Chen couldn't help but curse, "I think you've already thought about what you can get by chance, right?"
"The combination of the sun and the moon is called Chen. Originally, it would have been best to have a clear character in your name. However, it violated your father's taboo, so I had to choose another character."
Zhuang Jun sighed softly and continued: "Chen is the genus of dragon. "Guan Ren Biezhuan" says that the dragon is the yang essence, which lurks in the yin, and the ghosts pass up, and the qi and spirit are harmonious, so it can stir up the clouds. Yours How about the word "Xingyun"?
"Wei Chen, Wei Xingyun?"
Wei Chen recited it silently in his mind several times and found it very satisfying. Firstly, it was easy to remember, and secondly, it had a profound meaning.
At that moment, he bowed deeply with excitement and said, "Disciple, thank you, Teacher, for giving me the words!"
After giving the letter, Zhuang Jun inspected Wei Chen's recent schoolwork to see if Wei Chen had slacked off because he had finished the college examination.
Seeing that Wei Chen answered his questions fluently, Zhuang Jun nodded with satisfaction, and after a few more instructions, he rushed Wei Chen home.
When Wei Chen's knowledge has reached the point where he is now, he no longer needs to be around his teachers all the time and receive advice. What Zhuang Jun can do as a teacher is to encourage and give pointers. The rest still depends on Wei Chen's own efforts.
Wei Chen returned to Sheng's house and told Sheng Changbai that he had been crowned. Sheng Changbai was very happy and chased Wei Chen all day long, calling him "Xingyun" and "Xingyun Xiandi". Wei Chen himself I almost vomited.
Fortunately, within a few days, it was time to go to Fu Xue to report.
On the first day of going to the government school, naturally the first thing to do was to become apprentices. Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai both came to the government school with the apprenticeship gifts.
The so-called meeting ceremony is the six rituals of worshiping a master, including celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips. This is the same whether you are worshiping a master or a professional master.
The apprenticeship ceremony for both of them was prepared for them by Manager Chen. Naturally, it had to be as exquisite as possible. The gift box alone was worth a lot of money.
In addition to this ceremonial apprenticeship ceremony, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai asked someone to send sixty taels of silver red envelopes to Mr. Lu of the Fu School early. This was the real "apprenticeship ceremony".
This was all due to Wei Chen's cheap senior brother Shen Du. If Shen Du hadn't sent a message to remind him, Wei Chen would not have been able to tell that Mr. Lu, who looked like a Confucian, was actually a man who was greedy for money.
At this moment, in Minglun Hall, Mr. Lu was giving a lecture to the five new students who had just entered the school.
"Don't think that you can just let go of Nanshan after entering a government school. In ancient times, the students who took the examinations spent one year away from the classics and discerning their aspirations, three years of dedication and devotion to the community, five years of extensive study under the teacher, seven years of discussing learning and making friends, and nine years of study. Only when one knows the class and understands the class and is strong and does not rebel can one call it great success.
Although you are students, you have lived in poverty for ten years, but how far have you reached your academic level? I'm afraid some people can't even reach the point of distinguishing one's will from the classics, right? Now that you have entered the government school, you should study the scriptures carefully and do not neglect your homework! "
After hearing Lu Jiaoyu's words, Wang Yaochen, Weng Dingfan, and Tang Henian felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.
This old eunuch is indeed a famous old Confucian in Jiangning City. He gave us a disastrous attack right from the start!
Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai looked at each other and laughed secretly in their hearts. It seemed that the apprenticeship ceremony for these three classmates was not enough, or in other words, it was not given in the right way.
Over there, Wang Yaochen and the others were still trembling because of Lu Jiaoyu's instructions, but here Lu Jiaoyu looked at Wei Chen with a smile on his face.
"Wei Chen, you have become a diner at such a young age. It is very good. I have also read your article, and you are already a member of the family."
When talking to Wei Chen, Lu Jiaoyu's tone was extremely gentle, completely different from the harsh tone just now. The huge change before and after made Wang Yaochen and others stunned.
"Thank you for your compliment." Wei Chen bowed and said, "Jiaoyu, I have a heartfelt request from you. The student has to prepare for the provincial examination, so he wants to go out and study more and make friends. I hope your teacher will be accommodating."
Before Wei Chen came, he had already found out the procedures for studying in the mansion.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the atmosphere of official learning was solemn. From the Imperial College to the county schools in various places, academics were strictly governed.
But now, the academic style is no longer what it used to be. Regardless of the prefectural or county schools, it is extremely lax. I even heard that the Imperial College, known as the highest academic institution in the Zhou Dynasty, is now worse than a crab.
Wei Chen's study at Fu Xue was nothing more than going through the process he had done at Sheng's Free School. As for teaching and training, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, and he seldom paid attention to his students.
With such a trend, it's no wonder that Lin Yan resigned in anger and preferred to be a private school teacher in a small school like Shengshi Yixue.
Therefore, Wei Chen did not intend to waste time in the government school.
Studying at home on weekdays and occasionally traveling abroad are Wei Chen's plans after becoming a scholar.
When Lu Jiaoyu heard Wei Chen's request, he held his beard and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Your article is already outstanding, and it is really not advisable to write behind closed doors anymore. The way to study is to learn widely, make friends and draw parallels.
Let's do this. You can't be absent from the annual examination held by Xuedao every year. If you want to travel during the rest of the time, you must ask for leave in advance with me. How about it? "
Wei Chen also knew that this was the limit of what Lu Jiaoyu could do, so he bowed his head in agreement without saying a word.
After that, Sheng Changbai also asked for a study tour, and Lu Jiaoyu naturally agreed just like he agreed to Wei Chen for the sake of money.
The three of them, Wang Yaochen and Wang Yaochen, were ranked among the top five in the college examination, so they were certainly not stupid. Seeing that Lu Jiaoyu was so tolerant to Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai, he immediately thought that there must be something fishy involved.
However, they were not stupid enough to expose it to their faces. Instead, they planned to wait for Lu Jiaoyu to leave before humbly asking Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai for advice.
Next, the five people followed Lu Jiaoyu and finished worshiping Confucius, and then went to the stone tablet in Minglun Hall to read the regulations on generals and students.
There are many rules and regulations recorded on the monument, but nowadays, the scholarly ethics are loose and no one takes these rules seriously.
In the next few days, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai went to the Minglun Hall of the Fu School every day to have a meal. Although they both made up their minds to be absent from class for a long time, they still had to do the superficial work, otherwise Lu Jiaoyu would face It doesn’t look good either.
However, after Wei Chen had been there for a few days, he found that the people in Minglun Hall were sparsely populated, and not all of them had ever been there.
According to the regular system, there are 40 Linshan students in the Fu School, 40 Zengguang students, and the number of attached students is uncertain.
But Wei Chen counted and found that there were only thirty or forty people attending each class, which was less than half of the quota.
Lu Jiaoyu, who was lecturing above, seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time and did not find it strange at all.
Lu Jiaoyu only attends class for half an hour every day, and then it is time for the students to study by themselves.
Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai experienced the atmosphere of the self-study class firsthand, and then they understood what the devils were dancing around.
I won’t talk about those who didn’t come. Among the thirty or forty students who came to class, some were chatting to pass the time, some were gathering around to play horses, and some were busy taking over jobs and reading the account books for the shop outside. There are even people who hold the vivid and fragrant erotic pictures in their hands to appreciate them in a grand manner...
Sheng Changbai couldn't help but sigh: "This is how bad the academic style has become!"
At this point, the two of them were completely disappointed with this school. After class that day, they went to see Mr. Lu to tell him about the long vacation and went home to study.
