Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

After worshiping the statue of Confucius, the students just finished their morning reading.Next is the morning class.

There are about thirty students in Qingshan Academy, the youngest is 12 years old, and the oldest is only 21 years old.For someone as old as Meng Zhen, since the academy was opened, there is only one and only one.

Now he was sitting in the last row under the lecture hall, Master Zheng was lecturing on it, and sometimes some eyes would glance at him.

Meng Zhen didn't care too much, most of these students were still young and inexperienced, they couldn't help being curious when they encountered strange people or things, and it was reasonable to keep looking at him.

"Scholars can't be resolute. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long. Ren takes his own responsibility, isn't it too important? Isn't it too far away after death?"

Master Zheng was sitting in the lecture hall, explaining an article in "The Analects of Confucius", when he stopped suddenly, he called out: "Xu Jiaxing."

Looking back at Meng Zhen, the student whose name was called got up and bowed: "Teacher."

Zheng Fuzi said: "You explain this sentence just now."

Xu Jiaxing hesitated for a long time, looked left and right, and blushed: "Sorry, the student didn't hear clearly just now, can the teacher explain it again."

All the people present let out a sigh, and focused their eyes on Xu Jiaxing. Xu Jiaxing couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face, and his already red face became even redder now.

Mrs. Zheng is a serious person, and his teaching is usually rigorous, and almost no one is distracted in his class.He walked down from the lecture hall and came to Xu Jiaxing's side.

"I don't object to students' dual-purpose. If you can take care of both ends, I have nothing to say. But the facts show that your cultivation level is obviously not enough."

With a heavy hand on Xu Jiaxing's shoulder, he pushed him directly onto the seat.

Afterwards, he shuttled among the students' desks, and said as he walked: "The people here have not yet obtained the title of scholar. In the future, there are many uncertain factors in the examination room, such as the government examination, the provincial examination, the provincial examination, and even the palace examination. Not only do you need excellent books Knowledge and psychological quality are more important. If your mind is not pure, if you are disturbed by foreign affairs, and your mind is distracted during the exam, you will lose more than one exam question, and it is very likely that the fame that will determine your life's fate will pass you by the wrong shoulder."

"In ancient times, those who wished to manifest virtue in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first ordered their families; those who wanted to order their families first cultivated their bodies; those who wanted to cultivate their bodies first rectified their hearts. Here It is not only your thoughts and attitudes that are correct, but also your character, meditation, purity, and peace of mind, all of which are focused on being single-minded, and don’t be disturbed by external affairs.”

"Today, I'm here to emphasize again that no matter what happens to you after class, you must put up all your energy in class. You need to memorize the main points of the text explained by the teacher. If you are opportunistic and misbehaved, you should leave the book as soon as possible. I'll chase you away when the time comes, and make you lose all face."

He spoke very impolitely, and all the people present held their breaths and did not say a word.

In the silence, Mr. Zheng returned to the lecture hall, and continued to explain the unfinished text.

A class lasted nearly an hour, and the students finally breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Zheng walked out of the classroom.

"Oh my god, I'm suffocating." A student complained.

"I'm almost suffocating too, I'm suffocating to pee." Another student got up and patted his classmate on the shoulder, "Go, pee."

Then the two went out together shoulder to shoulder.

After each class, Master Zheng will leave some homework for the students, and they will check them one by one in the next class.Therefore, at this moment, most of the students in the school have not yet left, and they are all sitting in their seats to catch up with the homework assigned by the master.

Today's homework left by the master: recite "The Analects of Confucius · Tabor", and write it down silently.

When Meng Zhen was half silent, someone suddenly came to his desk and called out to him: "Brother-in-law."

Mengzhen was taken aback by this sudden address, although everyone is now a classmate, but due to his age, most people would not call him "classmate", but there is no need to call him "brother-in-law".

Meng Zhen stared at the other party for a while, searched in his mind for a while, but couldn't recall a single bit about this person.

"You are..." Just when he was at a loss, the man said again, "My name is Chen Qiushi, and I am the younger brother of the fifth lady of your mansion. I think my brother-in-law and nobleman are so forgetful. Once my sister dies, you will kill even her natal family." Can not remember."

Mengzhen's mind raced quickly again, but he still had no impression of this person.After the original owner spent 100 taels to marry the beautiful fifth lady, she broke off contact with her natal family.Until the beginning of this month, when the fifth lady passed away, her natal family never sent anyone to offer condolences.

Therefore, Meng Zhen didn't know this person.

But now I know it.

He glanced at this person lightly, said "Oh", and asked, "I don't know what you want from me?"

Chen Qiushi said casually: "It's nothing, I'm just curious, why do you start to read books in such a good manner, who knows that you are an idiot who can't read, why are you doing this?"

These words are obviously to find fault, as well as blatant mockery, and disrespect towards the elders.If it was in the previous life, if his disciples and grandchildren dared to talk to him like this, Meng Zhen would have beaten him to the sky with an immortal technique long ago, so there is no room for him to be presumptuous here.

But even if he changed his whole life and changed his body, Meng Zhen didn't intend to tolerate it. He couldn't let others ridicule him, so he lowered his face and said bluntly: "The academy is open for everyone, if you can come I can come too, we do not interfere with each other, if you are so cynical, it is possible that this academy is opened by your family."

"You..." Chen Qiushi didn't expect him to say this, and was choked up for a moment, "You, you are old and disrespectful."

Meng Zhen replied: "Respect the old and love the young, it's you who disrespected the young first, it's no wonder I don't respect you."

Chen Qiushi was choked to death, he couldn't hold his breath, but now at school, the other party was an old man, and he was not prone to seizures, so he looked around and saw that no one noticed this, so he held his breath and resented Back to his seat.

Xu Jiaxing, who came in from the outside, happened to witness the two sticking together. Seeing Chen Qiushi walk away, he followed him and asked, "Qiushi, do you know that person?"

Chen Qiushi glanced at Meng Zhen in the corner, gritted his teeth: "I know him, he is my own brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law?" Xu Jiaxing was dumbfounded.

The Chen family was in a difficult situation. In order to provide for their only son to study, the second elder sold his daughter to a wealthy family at a high price to marry him, but he didn't want to be the person in front of him.

Xu Jiaxing's eyes fell back on the man in the back row corner. This man was rough in appearance, he looked about the same age as his grandfather, and he was actually a man who married a wealthy man.

I felt a little more disgusted with this person in my heart, and said angrily: "Since the family is rich, and I am so old that I don't enjoy the blessings at home, what is the purpose of coming here to study!"

Chen Qiushi snorted lightly: "It's all just pretending, but you really think he read the reason?"

With a hook of his finger, he called Xu Jiaxing to him, and whispered: "This man is very lustful, stay away from him, and he also restrains his wives, he marries one and kills the other."

Xu Jiaxing opened his mouth wide again, unable to close it for a long time.Chen Qiushi pushed him and said, "Hurry up and go to write, finish writing earlier and go home for dinner earlier."

Although his words were kept in a low voice, Meng Zhen, who was as sensitive as a dog's ear, could hear him clearly.

There was no disturbance on Meng Zhen's face, but he was somewhat annoyed in his heart.But what people say is not bad, the original owner is lustful, marrying one and dying the other, it is right to be scolded behind his back, he can care about these things.

With such skill, it is better to write an article with absurd questions.Thinking of this, Meng Zhen grasped the pen well, and the pen fell with spirit, and the vigorous and beautiful lowercase characters jumped out on the paper, like soldiers in the army, straight and upright, vigorous and powerful.

After Mo finished the homework assigned by Master Zheng, he got up and called Ah Qing, who was guarding outside, to go to the cafeteria together.

Ah Qing is the original body's personal servant, he is quick-witted and articulate, so Meng Zhen asked him to be a bookboy and follow him to the school.

The school provides board and lodging for students who live far away from home.Meng Zhen's house is not far from the academy, so there is no need to stay here.But he thought it was troublesome to run back and forth, so he stayed at school for lunch and only went home after school was over in the afternoon.

Mengzhen asked for a bowl of noodles and sat alone in the corner of the cafeteria.He originally asked Ah Qing to sit with him, but Ah Qing even said there was a difference between a master and a servant, so she dared not sit with him, so she took a bowl and squatted on the ground to suck it up, gobbling it voraciously.

Meng Zhen respected Taoism and nature, Ah Qing refused to sit with him, he didn't force him, and let him go.

When the noodles were half eaten, Ah Qing suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear: "Master, these students are really outrageous, they have read poetry and books, and know the etiquette, is it appropriate to stare at us so blatantly while eating? "

Meng Zhen said nonchalantly: "Eat your own food, they will eat theirs, and they won't lose a layer of your skin."

Ah Qing sniffed and walked away dejectedly.

After dinner, Meng Zhen went back to the lecture hall, sat down for half an hour at first, and then wrote an article silently, just when he was about to get up and stretch his muscles, Mrs. Zheng walked in.

Mr. Zheng took several exam papers in his hand and distributed them to the students present, asking them to hand in the papers before dark.

Meng Zhen took a look at the test questions. It was a four-book question. The question came from a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius · Tabor" that he learned in the morning:

A long way to go.

Mengzhen's eyebrows were furrowed suddenly.The exam is just coming on the first day, so you don't even have to breathe?Exams are fine, and the test questions must follow a fixed format.

Breaking the topic into the pen, followed by the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the section, middle section, back section, until the end of the section, a total of eight parts.Each of the last four parts has two lines of parallelism and duality, and together they are eight-legged, which is sometimes called eight-legged writing.

Stereotype essays not only have a fixed format, but also have corresponding requirements for the number of words.Master Zheng gave this article no less than [-] words.

Mengzhen racked his brains, scratched his head, and finally finished the test paper before dark.

When he came out of the academy, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and almost passed out. Thanks to Ah Qingyan who was next to him, he quickly helped him, so he didn't fall at the entrance of the academy.

Afterwards, the two took a carriage and rushed to the Meng Mansion.

Just as Mengzhen stepped into the house, before the water had a chance to take a sip, a woman's cry came in first.

"Father, you have to make the decision for Xiaomei. You are not at home during the day, and the second child...he is belittling me..."

The woman came to Mengzhen while crying, Mengzhen saw that her clothes were disheveled, with a large piece of crispy breasts exposed, and felt that it was very hot, and immediately reprimanded: "Put on your clothes!"

The woman snorted and laughed through her tears: "You old man, why are you pretending to be serious? It's not like you haven't seen it. Not only have you seen it, you've even touched it and eaten it."

A surge of energy and blood rushed to the top of the skull, Meng Zhen's eyes went dark, and he passed away.
