Be a master through ancient times

"Sir, is this the place where you went to school when you were a child?" Fu Mingan walked in Qingshi Lane, looking at the dark red gate in front of him. There was a plaque on the door with the words "Yuanshan County School" written on it.

"Yeah, it's much smaller than the Imperial College, but the masters and classmates inside are very nice." Chu Ci looked at the familiar gate, his eyes filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence.

This place is the place where his dream set sail. If it weren't for the careful teaching of the masters, how could there be today's Chuci?

"Wow, master, is it you written on this stone tablet?" Chang Xiao took a few steps forward, looked at the stone tablet about the height of a person erected on the left side of the gate, and let out a "tsk tsk" exclamation.

Fu Ming'an and Zhang Hu also stepped forward curiously. Zhang Hu couldn't read, so he asked Chang Xiao to read it out.After hearing Chuci's words, she felt ashamed instantly, my God, how long has this stele been standing here? !Nine out of ten sentences written on it were made up indiscriminately, and he was almost exaggerated to the sky.

Different from Chu Ci's shame, after Fu Mingan and the others read the introduction on the stone tablet, they respected Chu Ci even more.

The movement of several people at the door was discovered by the concierge of the county school. He came out and asked, "Why do you dare to come here? If you are looking for someone, you might as well—you, you, you are Chu, Chu... ..."

The concierge's eyes widened, Chu Ci was pleased by that inconceivable expression, he chuckled lightly, and said, "I am Chu Ci, this time I am going back to the county school to pay a visit to Director Kong Shan and his masters, do you still remember me? "

"Oh, of course I remember!" The concierge slapped his legs suddenly, and rushed inside, still shouting, "The Zhuangyuan Lang is back! The Zhuangyuan Lang is back!"

Chu Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he waved his hand at the three of them, then walked inside.Yuanshan County School has produced a number one scholar, which is no longer what it used to be.Not only the Ganzhou Prefecture School of Education, but even the Department of Education and Education Affairs of Xijiang Province are all impressed by this small county school. All resources in all aspects are tilted here, so happy that Mr. Kong Shan can wake up from his dream with a smile.

It stands to reason that now Yuanshan County School is not short of money at all, but Chu Ci has come all the way, but found that the environment here is still the same as when he left, and the money should have been used for other things.

Chu Ci introduced to several people as he walked, and before he got near the teaching dormitory, he saw a large group of people approaching from the opposite side.

"The lower official has seen Chu Siye, but he didn't know that he was coming, so he was far away to greet him, and he neglected the distinguished guest. It is really rude." Kong Shanchang was about to salute when he was far away, and Chu Ci hurried forward, and when he bent over At that time, he supported him.

"Shan Zhang, masters, you must not do this! You will be a teacher for a day, and you will be a teacher for life. Your kindness in teaching is unforgettable. If you really receive your gift today, I am afraid that you will be cast aside by the world in the future. " Chu Ci hurriedly spoke to prevent them from bending over to salute, after all, he is not a spider spirit, and he doesn't have so many hands to help people.

The masters first looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at Master Kong Shan with aspirations.Kong Shanchang smiled and straightened his body by Chu Ci's hand, and said: "Chu Siye, you don't have to be polite, today is different from the past, you deserve this gift."

Chu Ci secretly complained about this Chief Kong Shan. This man clearly wanted to test whether his attitude had changed. Seeing how quickly he straightened up, he obviously guessed that Chu Ci would help him.

"Master Kong Shan, I am no longer the Secretary of the Imperial Academy. A month ago, I was sent to Southern Fujian Province to improve the local academic style. Now I am serving as a student in Zhangzhou Prefecture. You can just call me as you used to. Thanks to Chuci My masters have taught me carefully, if you have to trust everything in front of you, wouldn’t you be acting like the person who deceived your teacher and destroyed your ancestors? Please don’t be polite to me again!” Chu Ci cupped his hands towards them , Such an approachable attitude undoubtedly moved these people.

Everyone was no longer unfamiliar, and greeted Chu Ci one after another. Chu Ci also smiled and called out one by one. He knew all these masters.However, Master Qin was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.

Master Kong Shan seemed to see Chu Ci's confusion. He stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Your husband and several other masters are giving lectures now, so we don't want to disturb you. We will see each other after school is over." .”

Chu Ci felt a little regretful, thinking that he would see him soon.Because compared to Mr. Xu's straightforwardness, Mr. Qin is much gentler.

A few days ago, after the case of killing the family in the Zhongfu was solved, Mr. Xu was free.He first accepted the visit from his disciple and grandson, and then began to torture Chu Ci, throwing all the questions collected during this period to Chu Ci.If he hadn't made up for his homework on the boat, he might have really lost face.After finishing the questions, Mr. Xu made up for Chu Ci about the unspoken rules of officialdom.

Although Chu Ci has stepped into the officialdom, to be honest, it's really nothing like the small fights in the Imperial College in the officialdom.If Chu Ci still treats these people with the attitude of serving in the Imperial College, then he will definitely suffer.

The reason why Chu Ci was able to thrive in the capital was not only because of his backing, but mainly because those people valued face and did not easily put down their status to care about him.Now that Chu Ci is going to work in a strange place, if he still does not care about things as before, even if he is smart, he will definitely suffer.In this officialdom, sometimes the fights at the bottom are more severe than those at the top, and the methods are more sinister.

Xu Zheng and Chu Ci had been exchanging letters, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried about what he did in the capital, but a short letter couldn't write a few words, and it was impossible to express his thoughts well.This time Chu Ci came to see him on his way to take office, just in time for him to teach Chu Ci how to deal with some things.

……

Master Qin walked out with his books between his hands after school, just now he also saw Master Kong Shan leading a group of people past the door of the teaching dormitory.I just don't know who came over again.

Ever since Ah Ci won the first prize and he was awarded the plaque of "Teacher's Model", the county school has become lively.Every few days, some officials came down to inspect, or people from other academies came to see his plaque in the name of learning scriptures, which really annoyed him.Fortunately, it didn't disturb the students' study, otherwise, even if Master Qin tried his best to offend others, he wanted to stop this kind of behavior.

In addition, many people came to Master Qin, wanting to let their children study under him.Among them are some powerful families, and even people from Yangxin Mansion came to find them.Master Qin has always been very careful about accepting apprentices, otherwise he wouldn't have only accepted Chu Ci for so many years.Now that Chu Ci has won the first prize, Master Qin is more cautious than before, otherwise it will be bad for Chu Ci to be tired.

"gentlemen!"

Walking to the Huixian Hall, Master Qin was still thinking about who came, when suddenly he heard someone calling him.He raised his head in a daze, but saw a person running out of the door and kneeling down in front of him with a plop.

"Sir, Ah Ci is back!"

For Chu Ci, Master Qin is also his teacher and father, and he is willing to kneel down this time.

Master Qin couldn't believe it at first, but after seeing Ci's adoring face clearly, his eyes immediately became moist.With trembling hands, he went to pick up Chuci, ignoring that the book that he usually loves like a treasure has fallen from his hand.

"A Ci... Ah Ci, you are back!" Mr. Qin could no longer control the emotions that he had not shown in the past. He squeezed Chu Ci a few times with his hands, as if he was testing the truth, with a big smile on his face. I was very happy, but there were tears in my eyes, and I showed everyone what it means to be so happy and tearful.

The wives sitting in the room all showed expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred.Tell me, sometimes people compare themselves to others, it really makes people mad!Master Qin accepted an apprentice who was caring, filial and capable, and he could even earn rewards for his husband.Looking at the ones they received, why did the ruler in his hand suddenly feel a little ready to move?

……

"Yu'er, you are not allowed to tell Shigong and others about my fight with Fatty Zhang later, do you understand?" Before entering the door, Chu Xiaoyuan pulled Zhong Liyu to ask him.

"But..." Zhong Liyu looked at Chu Xiaoyuan's dirty clothes in embarrassment. If he didn't say anything, would the master not know?

"Don't say it!" Chu Xiaoyuan stared, and then he felt that his attitude seemed too tough, so he said, "Yu'er, don't tell them, I will pick the chrysanthemums in the yard of Grandpa Shanchang for you tomorrow. Don't you want one?"

Zhong Liyu thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I won't tell them."

Chu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, took Zhong Liyu's hand and walked inside.

Chu Ci, who was waiting by the door to greet his little nephew and nephew before, couldn't laugh or cry. Chu Xiaoyuan has learned how to intimidate and lure him!

"Hmm!" Chu Ci came out of the door, clearing his throat on purpose, trying to attract the attention of the two of them.

Chu Xiaoyuan frowned and pulled Zhong Liyu behind him, then looked up to see who the adult was blocking their way, it was a big surprise.

Seeing the confused expression on the little guy's face, Chu Ci stretched out his hand to gently pinch his little face, and said with a smirk, "Why, you don't know me anymore?"

Chu Xiaoyuan came back to his senses instantly after being pinched, he jumped forward, hugged Chu Ci's leg and cried loudly: "Wow... Uncle... I thought you weren't coming back... Wow wow wow..."

Chu Ci's heart was sour from his crying, he thought the child would laugh when he saw him, but he didn't expect Xiao Yuan to miss him more than he imagined.

Chu Ci picked him up, wiped his tears with one hand, and coaxed gently: "Uncle, isn't he coming back now? I haven't seen you for a year, but you have grown up a lot. Uncle wants to hug you." Don't move you. Stop crying, be careful that Yu'er laughs at you."

Zhong Liyu smiled at Chu Ci when he heard the words, his big eyes were crooked, and there were two deep dimples on his face, which looked somewhat similar to Kou Jing, but his facial features were more It's softer, it should be a little bit more like a mother.

After crying bitterly, Chu Xiaoyuan exhausted his emotions. When he came back to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed, so he wiped away his tears and struggled to get down.Chu Ci put Chu Xiaoyuan down, then squatted down, and embraced Zhong Liyu and Chu Xiaoyuan together in front of him.

"Uncle brought you a lot of presents and put them in your room. But you need to answer a few questions, and you can get the presents after passing the test. Are you confident that you can answer correctly?"

"Yes!" Zhong Liyu shouted confidently, while Chu Xiaoyuan's voice was weak.

Chuci knew the academic level of the two of them, so he picked some content that the master said for them to match sentences or translate.Zhong Liyu answered it very easily, and Chu Xiaoyuan did the same. He thought it would be difficult, but he didn't expect to learn it all.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more involved in their answers, Chu Ci twitched his lips and continued to ask, "Who is fighting today?"

"I got into a fight with Fatty Zhang!" Chu Xiaoyuan blurted out, and Zhong Liyu looked at him with wide eyes in bewilderment, not understanding why he said it by himself.

Chu Xiaoyuan also realized that he immediately covered his mouth, trying to cover up what he just said.

"Xiaoyuan, why did you fight with your classmates?" Chu Ci was curious.

Chu Xiaoyuan lowered his head and played with his fingers, looking listless. Although the uncle was not as serious as his master, he felt that the uncle should be angry too.

Zhong Liyu was afraid that Chu Ci would scold him, so he quickly explained: "Brother Xiaoyuan helped the master move his homework after school today. After returning, Zhang Minghua kept saying that brother Xiaoyuan was a sycophant, and brother Xiaoyuan told him not to say that he was always Said, and then they fought."

"Is that so?" Chu Ci turned to look at Chu Xiaoyuan.

Chu Xiaoyuan nodded, that Fatty Zhang just likes to have trouble with him!

"That's what's wrong with him. It's normal for a disciple to do his best when something happens. If he doesn't do it, then he'll blame you. It's too wrong!" Chu Ci defended the little nephew, all of a sudden They got surprised looks from both of them.They thought they were going to be scolded.

"However, it's still wrong to hit someone first. Think about it, he said you made a mistake, but if the master didn't hear it with his own ears, what should he do if he refuses to admit it? You beat someone, but you really left evidence , what will Master punish you for when the time comes? So the next time you encounter such a thing, don’t get angry so easily. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile if you are wronged and suffer a loss?” Chu Ci slowly enlightened him, so as not to The nephew developed an impulsive and irritable temper.

Chu Xiaoyuan nodded and asked, "Then what should I do?" Zhong Liyu also looked at Chu Ci with questioning eyes, as if he really wanted to know the solution.

Chu Ci smiled mysteriously, and began to teach them "Thick Black Studies".The two children were stunned for a while, Chu Xiaoyuan still half understood, but Zhong Liyu looked thoughtful after hearing it.

Mr. Qin stood not far away watching Chuci "teaching badly" children, and could only smile and shake his head. If things go on like this, I am afraid that these two classics will not have the same fate as "Book of Songs".
