Chapter 47 47 Added
"What? Grandpa Qin is gone?"
Ma'an Town is so small, and the population is not large. Everyone knows each other.
The reason why Master Sun lost his composure was not only because of the death of an acquaintance, but also because of this matter at home. Qin Jingchuan might not be able to go to the county exams in the next two years.
Like the previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty set "ruling the world with filial piety" as a national policy, and "filial piety" was also a basic moral norm in ancient my country.
"Shuowen Jiezi" compiled by Xu Shen, an economist and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, described it as "filial piety, being good to parents. From the old to the son, the son inherits the old."
In layman's terms, filial piety means being good to parents, starting from the older generation, and then starting from your generation, and the son inherits the filial piety of the older generation from generation to generation.
"Shuowen Jiezi" is the earliest and most influential dictionary in my country. It is the first Chinese dictionary that systematically analyzes the shape of Chinese characters and studies the origin of characters. It is also the most widely circulated Chinese must-read reference book, and its influence is also great.
Now this student who has already signed up for the county exam has a funeral at home. As a direct descendant, Qin Jingchuan must observe mourning. In this case, the next two years will be delayed.
But the problem is not big, because he is still young, only sixteen years old this year.
But now the embarrassment in front of Master Sun is that there are only nine students in the school this year, one less.
Because there are reasons, in fact, nine is nine, and it is not a big deal to take the county exam. After all, Qin Jingchuan has reported it, but he cannot take the exam for some reason, and the five students' joint guarantee will not be affected.
When Master Sun thought of this, he just sighed slightly, without much emotion. He looked down and saw the top of the thirteen papers in front of him. The thoughts were clear and the writing was smooth. You can tell from the handwriting that it was written by Wei Guangde.
Wei Guangde's calligraphy can only be considered as average among the thirteen students that Master Sun favors, so he can recognize him at a glance.
As for this average, it is Master Sun, because he has no hope of fame, so he calms down to teach students, and picks up a pen to practice a few pieces of calligraphy when he has nothing to do. Because he has nothing to do, he can calm down and calm down. In recent years, his calligraphy has made great progress, so he has such an evaluation.
If we compare it with Master Sun's level when he was young, although it is a little worse, it is not far behind. It is considered average and acceptable.
When Master Sun thought of this, he couldn't help but move his heart and recalled the eight-part essay written by Wei Guangde a few days ago. To be honest, it is still a little immature, but it seems that he can also go to the county examination.
Anyway, he is young, so he should take it as an experience and get familiar with the process of the county examination.
"Guangde."
Thinking of this, Master Sun looked up at Wei Guangde who was reading and called out his name.
Wei Guangde was reading Mencius when he suddenly heard the teacher calling his name. He immediately put down the book in his hand and stood up respectfully.
"Come here."
Master Sun looked at Wei Guangde and stroked his beard.
After hearing the teacher's order, Wei Guangde immediately turned around and walked to the front of the hall.
According to the previous habit, Master Sun would often call them up one by one to give them a lecture after reading their homework, so that they would know where they did well and where they did poorly in the article, and they should pay attention to the wording in the future.
In his opinion, today was no exception, but he handed it in early today, and he was afraid that he would be the last one to be read by the teacher, so he called himself up first to explain.
He walked to the side of the hall table and stood up. The whole action seemed very respectful, which made Master Sun very satisfied.
"I have been taking care of your classmates who are waiting for the exam these days, so I have tested you less. How are you doing with those books?"
Unexpectedly, Master Sun did not comment on his article directly, but asked about the books that Wei Guangde had been arranged to read and memorize before.
Because Wei Guangde has a super memory, Master Sun also asked him to read some miscellaneous books in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics. Of course, there will definitely be no popular novels in these miscellaneous books, but only annotations of other books compiled by ancient sages.
Everything is actually a preparation for their future participation in the imperial examination.
"Students are reading and memorizing seriously, and the teacher can test you at will."
Wei Guangde is still confident about memorizing. Of course, he dare not say that he can recite it backwards, which is a bit suicidal, but there is no problem with normal testing.
Master Sun is still very satisfied with Wei Guangde's memorization, and he knows his student's memory ability.
In fact, this paragraph is just to remind him not to relax himself because there is no test in the past few days.
"You just heard it, something happened in Jingchuan's family."
Master Sun sat there and continued to talk, but Wei Guangde felt strange when he heard it. Senior Qin's family had a funeral, why are you telling me all this? Can you just get to the point and comment on my homework? I still feel uncomfortable with this humble action.
Thinking so in his heart, but his face still had a solemn expression, as if he felt sorry for such a thing happening in his classmate's family.
Of course he knew that something happened in Qin Jingchuan's family, and this year's county exam was ruined, but there were still several seniors ahead of him.
Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard words that shocked him.
"I want you to try this subject, although you are still young and your foundation is not solid."
Wei Guangde heard all of Master Sun's words. I'm still young and I don't have enough knowledge. You still want me to take the county exam?
What time is it now? Can I still register for the county exam?
Wei Guangde was a little annoyed in his heart, but he immediately thought of another question. Time, can I still register now?
"You should go home now and tell your parents what I want to say. If they agree, you should go to the county school as soon as possible to register for this county exam. Lian Bao will use the position of Qin Jingchuan."
Wei Guangde was a little absent-minded after Master Sun's words, but he still remembered the key point. The registration deadline is the day after tomorrow, which means that if you rush to the county before the day after tomorrow, you still have a chance to register.
When Wei Guangde walked out of the gate of the private school, he also came back to his senses. Master Sun didn't say how much he thought of his writing skills, but there happened to be a quota in the school, and he just happened to gather two teams of students to take the county exam. It's not good to leave one empty now.
It doesn't mean that if one person is missing, the other four students can't take the exam. If Qin Jingchuan really takes the exam, the four students will be unlucky. Otherwise, why do they need to be guaranteed? The name of the guarantor must be signed on the registration form.
In fact, if Qin Jingchuan can't take the exam, the other four students can also take the exam, but they are absent for some reason.
In addition, what Master Sun meant was to let himself adapt to the atmosphere of the county exam.
Okay, the county exam, I'm here, let me feel what it feels like to take the first step of the ancient imperial examination.
Thinking of this, Wei Guangde felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and strode towards Bengshanbao with his schoolbag on his back.
