Chapter 41 The Way of a Teacher

The four of them chatted and finished eating everything, and decided to part.

Before leaving, Lin Yanchao said reluctantly: "As soon as Brother Weng leaves, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to ask you for advice!"

Weng Zhengchun said: "Brother Lin doesn't dare. I have been in the village these two days, so you can come to me, but in a few days, I will go to Jinshan Temple to study hard, and I'm afraid I can't greet Brother Lin."

The famous Jiangzhong Temple in Hongtang Township, Jinshan Temple was built on an island in the heart of the Minshui River. Only monks carry boats to travel back and forth with their internal and external transportation. Here, it is a good place for scholars to ignore the affairs outside the window and focus on reading only the books of sages.

Lin Yanchao was a little disappointed when he heard this, and thought that he could not hold the thighs of the priest master. So Lin Yanchao bid farewell to Weng Zhengchun, and then Hou Zhongshu went to the market again and bought a bunch of pancakes to go back.

The light cakes in Hongtang City are very famous. Hou Zhongshu is a foodie and will never let them go. When they returned to the club to study, they ate light cakes all the way, and talked about Lin Yanchao's drinking and retiring from Zhou Zongcheng today, talking and laughing. However, Lin Yanchao was not in such a good mood, but on the contrary, he was a little worried.

The boy test will be twice in three years. The college test has just ended in August this year, and the next boy test will only start the next year.

The next February of the year was the county examination, the April of the government examination, and the August of the hospital examination. It was only one and a half years before the next February of the year. At that time, I was exactly fourteen years old and seemed quite young. It seemed that I was not anxious, but in fact, I seemed quite anxious.

The county examination, the government examination, and then the college examination. Even if the college examination passes, it is not eligible for the provincial examination. Jin Juren, Yin Jinshi, and the admission rate for the provincial examination is even lower than the commemorative examination. After passing the provincial examination, there are also commemorative examinations and palace examinations.

The boy exam the next year is my first chance. Since ancient times, there has been no off-site scholar, so I will have the chance after taking the exam. Weng Zhengchun said that it would be better to take the county exam five years later, but Lin Yanchao wanted to work hard to catch up with me, anyway, he has the talent to endorse.

After Lin Yanchao clarified the direction, he looked at the sunset by the mountain and felt that he was much relieved. The imperial examination was the path he must take when he came to the Ming Dynasty. Even if thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, he still had to draw his sword. Lin Yanchao now wanted to hold up the book and read it.

The old master is still stumbled in school, and his classmates are happy to turn a blind eye to the tutor. It is August 15th, and the school children in the village go home early to celebrate the festival, and only Lin Yanchao stays in the society.

There is no one in the classroom, and Lin Yanchao is studying hard, so he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed.

Lin Yanchao took the college chapters Lin Chengyi gave him and recited them loudly.

"The poem says: "Looking at the Qiao, the bamboo is lush. There is a gentleman who is like a cut and a tear, like a polished and grinding. The zither is so slim and slim and noisy. There is a gentleman who is so slim and slim and noisy. There is a gentleman who is so slim and grinding. It is a Taoist study; it is a self-cultivation; it is a slim and grinding; it is a humble and noisy person who is so slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim and slim

Lin Yanchao couldn't help frowning when he read this because he didn't understand.

The scriptures are written by the Great Chapter and Sentences. One chapter of the scriptures is written by Confucius, with more than 200 characters. Ten chapters are written by Zeng Zi, with more than 2,000 characters. The collection of notes is written by Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi, with more than 5,000 characters.

Although Confucius' two hundred words were interpreted into more than 8,000 words, many children such as Lin Yanchao still expressed that they really couldn't understand it! They said that they read a book a hundred times, and the meaning was self-evident, but now they have read it less than a hundred times, so why can't they understand it?

Lin Yanchao was in trouble, but when he saw a flash of people outside the window, Lin Yanchao turned around and walked outside the window as if there was no one.

Now that Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and all the classmates in the society are going back to celebrate the festival, they are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are probably the ones who are the ones.

Lin Yanchao walked out of the lecture hall with a book. The moonlight was shining outside the window, but he saw that there were still lights on Xizhai, so he walked over.

But when Lin Yanchao walked to Xizhai and leaned over, the old master was sitting upright.

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and looked at a fresh shoe print and said, "Okay, it's really you, it's okay for a gentleman to see his disciples studying, why are you still secretly?"

The door of the house was open, and Lin Yanchao walked into the house and saluted, "I've seen sir."

The old master held the book and said unhappily: "It's Mid-Autumn Festival, why haven't you gone back yet? What are you doing here?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. I misunderstood. The student's home is far away and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth. I only went home once a month. I have to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in just a few days. Isn't it a waste of time?"

"This is so late, what's the matter?" The old master's expression calmed down a little.

Lin Yanchao picked up the university chapter and asked, "Sir, the student has just read it. The poem says: "Looking at the Qiao, the bamboo is lush. There is a gentleman who is like a cut and a tear, like a polished grinding. The turtle and a humble, and it is noisy. There is a gentleman who is not noisy at all! If you don't understand the meaning, please answer the question."

The old master asked back, "How do you think?"

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "The classics say that the way of the university lies in the clear virtue, in the closeness of the people, and in the ultimate good."

"This sentence comes from Qiao in Weifeng in the Book of Songs. Zengzi chose this sentence in the biography to explain the meaning of the four words "Such goodness". Looking at Qiao, he leaned on the bamboo and praised the goodness of a gentleman with bamboo. As for the students below, he didn't understand it."

The old master nodded and said, "You know what you know, but you don't know. If you don't impose an explanation, it's okay to add your own meaning."

"I will explain it for you. When the ancient sages of the sages are as sharp as learning, they are as Taoist. They mean it is like a polishing tool, constantly grinding, which means it is a gentleman's character when studying knowledge. It is like polishing like grinding, and self-cultivation. It is about a gentleman's cultivation of himself like polishing beautiful jade, and repeatedly pondering. The serpent is a humble serpent, the serpent is solemn, and the serpent is open-minded. The gentleman regards solemn and open-minded because he is cautious and cautious in his heart. The serpent is majestic, and the serpent is a dignified appearance, and therefore has a majesty. In this way, he can reach the state of perfection."

"Student understands, thank you for your teachings." Lin Yanchao was enlightened. He had been thinking about it for many days, but he could not understand it, but after the old master's words, he suddenly understood it.

This feeling is really great.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that although this old master is just a child, he still has real talent and knowledge in his stomach. He immediately stepped forward and asked: "Sir, student..."

"Okay, I'm tired." The old master waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guest.

Damn, I'm going to dare to leave.

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "Sir, the students are puzzled in many places. Please teach me how to teach me! It won't delay you for too long."

The old master sneered: "I am just a failed old boy, so how can I teach you?"

Lin Yanchao knew that Master Lao still had grudges against him. Thinking about the past few days, he had many things wrong with him. He looked down on him a little because he was an old boy. From this point of view, he was not respectful enough to respect his teachers and Taoism.

Lin Yanchao said sincerely: "Mr. He first came to the society and the students were ignorant and had many offensive things. I apologized to him here. Please forgive me if you don't care about villains."

The young and dandy taught us that if we make mistakes, we must admit it and be beaten to stand attentively.

I feel that the world is going to revolve around me, which is a common problem for most time travelers. Lin Yanchao secretly reminded himself.

Of course, the old Master did not show "flattered" because Lin Yanchao admitted his mistake. However, the old Master snorted heavily, but his anger had already disappeared a lot.

The old master said, "I recommended it to Brother Chengyi as a social school tutor. He told me that there is a disciple named Lin Yanchao who is worth cultivating and I want to worry more..."

Lin Yanchao is now thinking of dying. It turns out that he was his own person after a long time. Didn’t Zhang Haoyuan say that he had left Zhang Guihe’s back door? The news is inaccurate.

"...Who expected that you were so naughty, it would be fine to contradict me, but you would encourage me..."

The old master criticized him in a scattered manner, and Lin Yanchao seriously expressed his acceptance of the teaching.

"But that day you can turn your mind to the wise and talented people, and Brother Chengyi has a good vision. In the past few days, I have also observed you. You are the first person to come to class every day, and you are the one who leaves the last. You are not self-righteous and smart, but seek knowledge hard. This desire to learn is more valuable than hard work and smartness."

Lin Yanchao was even more ashamed. Can he say that he was devoted to learning and was planning for the sake of rice and beams? But he said so noble that he even took it a little seriously.

The old master turned around and said, "Since you have the intention to learn, it's nothing if I teach you the scriptures, but you should not tell others that I have taught you the scriptures in the future."

“Why?”

"There is no reason. If you can't follow it, don't come and learn."

"Students remember."

Under the light, the old master looked at Lin Yanchao and said in his heart that this son will never be a person in the pool in the future. If he becomes a scholar or a juren in the future, and others ask him who is the scholar, he says he is an old boy, wouldn't I be laughed at? The incompetence of the gentleman has taught that all his disciples can become scholars, but the gentleman cannot.
