Hypocrites

naming?

Picking a name is not easy!

First of all, it is an academy.Secondly, it is an academy located at the foot of Zhangshan Mountain.

With a swipe of the county guard's pen, it was called Zhanglu Academy.

good!Everyone applauds.So incisive, so literary!

The carpenter carved the calligraphy of the county sheriff onto the plaque, filled it with cinnabar and gold powder, and hung it high on the door beam.The firecrackers coiled on the couplets crackled and screamed, and the scene immediately became lively.Dozens of workers came and carried the desks and mats into the yard. The governor of Zhangshan took Shen Yu's hand and said, "Sir, you are willing to come to our remote township where the academic style is not strong enough to enlighten you. I can't repay you." , I made a set of ebony desks for the academy at my own expense. If you want to come to the academy to build a new building, there will be a lot of waste, I hope these things will come in handy, sir, don’t be disgusted!"

The corner of Shen Yu's mouth twitched: "I don't dislike it, thank you for your kindness."

The sheriff stared at him sincerely: "Sir, we will leave our Zhangshan children to you!"

That’s right, Zhanglu Academy will not be a meeting place for literati, nor will it be a venue for talented scholars to find employment, but a place for young schoolchildren under the age of 15 in Zhangshan County to develop their wisdom.In other words, Shen Yu had prepared all the textbooks for nothing, and he only needed to teach the children how to read and count.

Liang Heng comforted him and said: "Teach the villains first, then you can teach the adults. Look, you are in your twenties, and you don't even have a beard on your mouth. How can you look like a qualified teacher? When you are old and stand up, you can grow your hair." Twist your beard and teach young scholars, won't you be able to calm them down?"

Shen Yu replied: "I'm not dissatisfied because of this matter."

"why?"

Shen Yu was a little annoyed, holding a broom in his hand, and said to Liang Heng who was sitting on the stone lion on the gate pier watching the excitement: "So many people were invited to open the mansion, but firecracker shavings were all over the floor, how long will it take to clean it up! "

Not long after the academy was completed, Cui Ji came to see if there was anything he could do to help, and the three of them gathered in the empty school hall to discuss how to recruit students.

Cui Ji said: "You should ask the sheriff for help in this matter. He advocated the establishment of the academy. He can't let you go and ignore it."

"The sheriff did help to promote it," Shen Yu said, "but no one is willing to send children here."

"This is amazing."

"No surprise, no surprise," Liang Heng said, "You don't even look at it, he is the only lecturer in the academy, and he is so young and tender, which parents can trust him?"

"I think he has a tender face, but you like it very much." Cui Ji said.

"Don't discuss this topic." Shen Yu wiped off the sweat on his brow, "Uncle, if you are willing to come and be a lecturer for a while, we will have two teachers."

Cui Ji: "Okay, okay, it's just a small favor, it's not worth mentioning...Wait a minute, who is your uncle?"

At Cui Ji's suggestion, Shen Yu wrote a letter to Song Jun who was far away in Wangdu City.

Song Jun is the new official who governs millet. Although he doesn't know how to do well, he is honest, impartial and rigorous.Shen Yu only mentioned in the letter where his family and business is now, meaning that if Song Jun wants to visit his old friends, he won't be able to find a place.Unexpectedly, within a few days, Song Jun knocked on the door of Zhanglu Academy with a letter.

At that time, the only three people in the academy were eating soup pot around the stove in the school.

There is no one in such a large hall, so it is lonely, so they put fresh vegetables and fruits and pickled meatballs and fish fillets on the desk.

Song Jun snotted his nose and burst into tears: "Brother! I heard that you are struggling to start a business. You have to open up mountains and forests. You want to open an academy but you can't recruit students. If you can't earn money, you can't eat. Brother, you feel guilty and painful after finishing your studies. How can you be willing to let your junior brother be hungry? I will come to help you without stopping!"

The fish fillet on his junior chopsticks slipped down and fell into the broth.

"Welcome!" Cui Ji nodded, "Then we now have four lecturers."

Song Jundao: "You, me, and Brother Yu, there are only three of them, why are there four?"

Everyone followed his fingers around, and their eyes all fell on Liang Heng.

"Me?" Liang Heng himself was surprised.

"Yes, you," Cui Ji said, "the academy doesn't support freeloaders, what can you teach?"

Liang Heng recalled his enlightenment experience: "Hmm... teach children to explore the joy of nature?"

Cui Ji gestured him to come out.

"But I bought your academy, and I also bought the fish fillets and meatballs you eat."

"Please eat." Shen Yu offered the bowl and chopsticks with both hands.

Leave it to Cui Ji and Song Jun, so you don't have to bother too much.One of them is a primary school teacher in their own school, and the other is a senior student in Shen's school, so it's not a problem to have a good sense of style.When I went out to recruit students, my parents said that there had never been any enlightenment schools in Zhangshan County. If you want to study, you can pay two buckets of rice to the old scholar's house at the entrance of the village, and learn a few words.

Cui Ji said, there was no such thing before, but now there is, what can be achieved by learning a few words, our school was set up by the county magistrate himself, it is a systematic teaching, we teach "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual" and "Yi" "Book of Filial Piety", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius"...

Parents said, if you don’t go out and inquire, when did our Zhangshan county have a scholar official, this land can’t raise scholars, why don’t you go to Ruyang next door if you want to teach?

Song Jun said that he couldn't get out before, but now he has to teach. Do you know who he is?He is the famous direct disciple of Cui Xue in Ruyang, Cui Xue, do you know?The teacher of the Son of Heaven is Mr. Cui Guangwei.

The parents stuffed their fists into their mouths, ouch, Son of Heaven, we have never seen a decent official in our life.

Song Jun waved his hand and showed his official seal.

It was almost summer, and the children were dozing off in the warm school.Shen Yu walked through the desk with his hands behind his back, and the bamboo slips knocked on the woodpecker's head one by one, and there was a continuous sound of ouch.

The child touched his head and complained: "Sir! This is not fair, why can brother Xiaoheng sleep?"

Shen Yu said solemnly: "If you memorize the imperial system, you can go back to sleep after school. Your brother Xiaoheng has a good memory and has already memorized it. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to recite it to you."

Liang Heng rested his chin and squinted his eyes, and his consciousness was in a trance. When Shen Yu called him, he half-opened his eyes and said, "I have long forgotten about the imperial system."

"If you can't memorize it, you will be beaten!" The children booed.

Shen Yu smiled slightly, and knocked on Liang Heng's forehead with his fingers.

After school, Shen Yu sat down beside Liang Heng.

"It's summer."

"Yes."

"Let's go back to Ruyang."

Liang Heng looked at him: "What are you going back for?"

Shen Yudao: "Go to Guangji Temple to pay homage to my parents and senior brothers, and it will be a memorial day soon."

Liang Heng held his hand silently.

The incense in Guangji Temple is more prosperous than before.The introduction of foreign teachers to the south of the Yangtze River has a long history, but in terms of being widely believed by the people, it was only after the Eunuch Party took power.Shen Yu offered lotus lanterns to Shen's father and Shen's mother in the temple, and there was a separate quiet room.The two each had a futon and kowtowed three times.

"Sir, my student is sorry for you," Liang Heng said, "You taught me those imperial techniques and trade-offs, but now there is nowhere to use them. You are a man of great talent, but it is a pity that you taught the wrong students."

The lotus lantern moved without wind, shaking Liang Heng's shadow.

Shen Yu didn't interrupt, and let Liang Heng finish talking.

"I'll go out and wait for you." Liang Heng said, planning to go around Guangji Temple and leave time for Shen Yu and his parents to be alone.

There are many pilgrims outside, and many people burn incense in the treasure hall, and the strong smell of fireworks fills the Buddhist pure land.

Cui Ji happened to bring his wife and children to pray to Buddha on this day. When Cui Xiaoxi saw Liang Heng, he immediately let go of his parents and ran over, wanting to ride on his neck rebelliously.

"The elders and children should be orderly at home," Cui Ji taught earnestly, "how can you be rude to your cousin."

Cui Xi and Liang Heng are a natural match.In Liang Heng's heart, although he has never met his father, he knows from the letters that he is an interesting and fun person, so sometimes he feels that he and Cui Xi are brothers, and have no blood relationship with this old-fashioned Mr. Cui Jixiao.

"I'll take you to play!" Xiao Xi took Liang Heng's hand.

He was very lively. He had been to Guangji Temple a few times, and he ran all over the corners, big and small, showing Liang Heng around.In the temple, there is a screen wall that is tens of feet long, which was donated by rich gentry and pilgrims. Famous craftsmen were invited to carve pictures of Buddha teaching all living beings. Walking along the screen wall, you can read the stories of scriptures and changes.In the wall carving, a believer presents flowers and sprinkles them on the Buddha respectfully. The flowers then form a flower cover. Wherever the Buddha goes, the flower cover follows.The Buddha smiled, and the light from his mouth sank into the heads of the believers.

"What is this story about?" Xiao Xi asked.

Liang Heng shook his head: "I don't know."

The novice who was sweeping at the side read ten times: "The disciple of the World Honored One, Ananda, asked what caused him to laugh. The World Honored One replied, because of the merit of this believer offering flowers to the Buddha, he will not fall into the evil way in the future. Rejoice with one thought, the Buddha It will also give the human world the path to Buddhahood that is supremely righteous and enlightened."

"I know what he means," Xi said, "If you treat me well, I will treat you well, is that right?"

The two walked hand in hand across Zhaobi, surrounded by green trees and canopies, with thick shade hanging down, and yellow locust trees scattered from the tops.At the end, a young man stood with his hands down, with a gentle and warm face.It is about the kind of guest you meet when you are lucky enough to enjoy flowers, and will pick flowers and brush leaves for you.

When Liang Heng saw him, for some reason, he remembered something from a long time ago.At the very beginning, who gave the flower first, so that he won't fall into the evil realm for the rest of his life?

Xinzhou stepped forward, knelt down on half knees, and brushed off the yellow pagoda tree flowers that fell on the hem of Liang Heng's clothes as he had done countless times.
