Chapter 90 The Little Patriarch Enters the Village School (Part 2)

Mei Xiaoba is just a little more honest, not stupid?

Before Yang Wu picked it up, Mei Xiaoba didn't think he was wearing something wrong. After all, compared with Gui Chongyang's gentle appearance, no matter what he wore, others looked rough and rustic. But when Yang Wu's unintentional words and looking at the two of them, Mei Xiaoba also felt that something was wrong.

But Mei Xiaoba was generous and couldn't imagine anything else and smiled foolishly: "My mother sewed it by herself, maybe it happened to have a floral cloth."

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "You can't get together again? You'll have to be cared for a year."

Mei Xiaoba looked down at her flowered schoolbag, and seemed to feel that the red flowers were annoying, so she moved behind her.

Yang Wu's side had already left this matter and said, "Dongyang, what will Master teach?"

Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said, "The village school mainly focuses on literacy, generally speaking, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Character Classic", and some of them will choose "Filial Piety" and "Family Rites".

Village schools are social schools, and moral education is also one of the purposes of social schools. During the Hongwu period, he ordered civil society to study the "Great Edict" and "Great Ming Law". Other books that record ancient sages' good words and deeds are also must-read books for children.

However, Tongzhou was a native of the prime minister who was in the prosperous place of Jiangnan’s literary style, and he was educated late. Gui Chongyang didn’t know what the specific details were.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the village school next to the village ancestral hall.

These are three rooms in the east wing of the ancestral hall. One in the northeast corner is the place where Confucius is worshipped and the place where Mengshi is resting, the middle is where Mengzi is under the age of ten; the other in the southeast is where school children over the age of ten are located.

If you go to another private school, your parents will take you to take the lead, and first worship the statue of Confucius with your husband, and then enter the new class.

Because it was a village school, when Yang Jinzhu and Mei Qingmu had already been here when they came to give away 300 yuan, they saved the "sending children to school" today.

However, when the three of them arrived at the door of the Confucius Room, Mei Tongsheng still worshipped the statue of Confucius in the order of the convention. Then, with a stern face, he held a black cast iron ruler, waved it while saying a few words to encourage learning.

Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba were staring at each other, and their eyes looked at Mei Fuzi with admiration.

Gui Chongyang knew that this was the "warning" that Mei Fuzi gave to the children who were enrolled in school.

Whether it is fearing the ruler or the knowledge, new-entered children can restrain themselves and be honest for a while.

After saying the words to encourage learning, Mei Tongsheng's eyes fell on Gui Chongyang, which was to test the progress of his knowledge, and then said, "Can you read the Four Books?"

Of course, I have read the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Classics". Only those who are interested in studying a schoolchild from a background will learn "Scripture Education" for the purpose of scientific research.

Gui Chongyang is twelve years old and is back from Jiangnan again. If he has good academic qualifications, he should have finished his studies and started to study the classics.

Gui Chongyang looked at Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba who were honest and reserved and nervous next to him and said, "The student is sick and weak, and although he is in trouble early, he has never started school."

If you have learned it, you will naturally be assigned to the big children's class. How can you take care of these two honest children?

Mei Tongsheng sneered, unable to hide his contempt on his face, and he felt that his previous guess was correct.

What are ten boxes of books? It’s just that the Gui family brags about themselves and gives Gui Chongyang a face. What books can a child who has not started reading the Four Books and Five Classics bring back?

Mei Tongsheng looked at Yang Wu again and asked casually: "Can you read a book before?"

Yang Wu shook his head honestly: "I haven't read it."

Mei Tongsheng nodded and finally looked at Mei Xiaoba. His eyes fell on the patch on his body and he couldn't help but frown. This is his grandson, and he may still be his nephew in the future, but what are you wearing? Such a shabby way, how can you look like a scholarly family?

That's right, because his son and eldest grandson were both scholars, Mei Tongsheng realized that his family had changed their lintels and had already claimed to be a "scholar-loving family" and separated the Mei family from the village's mud legs.

When she saw Gui Chongyang standing next to her, her gentle and elegant appearance made Mei Xiaoba look more and more like a trash. Mei Tongsheng couldn't help but be upset, but she knew it was not easy to just use the patches on Mei Xiaoba's body to talk about it. When she saw the floral schoolbag he was carrying, she pointed to the one and scolded, "What is this?"

Mei Xiaoba was shocked and couldn't help but feel at a loss. She said carefully: "This is the schoolbag that my mother sewed."

Master Mei snorted coldly and said, "It's not a good idea, I'll change it tomorrow!"

Master Mei is mean, and her face is so stern that she makes her voice cold. How can Mei Xiaoba not be afraid? He swallowed and nodded quickly and said, "Well, I'll change tomorrow!"

Although Gui Chongyang did not like Mei’s behavior, it was not interrupted.

Yang Wu was not scolded, but he obviously became the monkey who "killed the chicken and scared the monkey". He lowered his eyebrows and became more and more honest.

Seeing that several new students were obedient and had no thorns, Mei Tongsheng nodded with satisfaction, touched his beard, and asked the three of them to follow him.

*

In the children's class, there were twenty children sitting in the childhood. Although there was no Master here, no one dared to play when Mei Tongsheng was powerful. He was led by a primary school student, shaking his head and carrying the "Hundred Family Names".

Seeing Master Mei coming in, everyone extinguished their voices and sat more straight and straight.

The student who was studying before saw Mei Xiaoba's eyes lit up. He was a child surnamed Mei.

Mei Tongsheng pointed to Gui Chongyang and the other three and said, "This is the new student who is enrolling today. Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu and Mei Xu, you will live in harmony in the future." After that, he pointed to the seats in the last row of the house and let the three of them sit.

Mei Xiaoba had no name before, so this "Mei Xu" was given temporarily by Mei Tongsheng according to the genealogy.

Mei Xiaoba heard it strange and saw that everyone looked at him, so she realized that she was "Mei Xu". She thought it was a novel and nice name, but it was a bit strange, and it was not as pleasant as "Xiaoba".

Because the room is full of elementary school students under the age of ten, although they are much more restrained in front of the Master, they are naturally lively.

When he saw Yang Wu tall, the primary school student winked and smiled. When he saw Mei Xiaoba’s flower schoolbag, except for the brothers surnamed Mei, the other primary school students couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laughed. If the master was not there, he would have pointed at Mei Xiaoba and called "Hua Niu".

Only Gui Chongyang is here, so these primary school students can be picky and teased.

If Gui Chongyang is peaceful, he will naturally be kind and harmless. Now that a cousin and a "future cousin" are ridiculed, he will naturally feel unhappy and his little face will become tense.

Although Gui Chongyang is not silk and satin, the Songjiang fine cloth that is hard to see in the north is half new and not old, but there are no stitches and are not sewn regularly.

Compared with the blue and blue coarse cloth washed by primary school students, Gui Chongyang's outfit is no less than silk and satin, which inevitably makes people lose confidence.

Among them, the primary school students who are more interested in dressing and want to mock Mei Xiaoba's "rustic bull" will all lower their heads to look at themselves, but the more they look at them, the more wrong they look, the clothes are wrong, and they don't fit Gui Chongyang; the shoes are not right, and their own 10-sole is not decent with Gui Chongyang's shoes. Needless to say, Mei Xiaoba's "rustic bull" is also a "rustic bull" compared with Gui Chongyang.

When Gui Chongyang sat down and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the students looked straight again.

Compared with the crude version of pen, ink, paper and inkstone that I spent 100 or 200 yuan to buy in our town, Gui Chongyang’s inkstone was black and shiny, and the pen tube of the brush was also oily, which was different from everyone’s.

Everyone saw it, and Mei Tongzi also saw it, but they didn't agree.

The Mengtongs have never seen anything and think this is good. Mei Tongsheng went to the inkstone and brush to make a good material. It was just that it felt warm after using it too much. The same is true for the set that Changsun used for use.

Mei Tongsheng didn't think Gui Chongyang was diligent, and only thought it was given to him by others. After all, this set of four treasures in the study has a slightly smaller inkstone and a slightly thinner pen. It was obvious that it was prepared for the child.

For a moment, Mei Tongsheng was curious about Gui Yuan’s social interaction in the south.

Others think that Gui Wu paid for Gui Chongyang to build the house, but Mei Tongsheng didn't think so. If Gui Wu really wanted to be a big shot, he would build a second house first. Without his own parents and his parents, he would take care of his nephew in the next house first.

Mei Tongsheng didn't believe that the money was taken out by Mei. Mei was not a fool, so she took out all the money to supplement her husband's private children, rather than keeping herself on guard.

Yes, in Mei Tongsheng's eyes, Gui Chongyang is a "private child", so he feels that he is obsessed with the great righteousness of etiquette and law. However, he has never been a tough guy, and this despise is just in front of Gui Chongyang, and he dare not show it in front of Gui Wu.

In the last row of three seats in the room, Yang Wu and Mei Xiaobayi sat next to Gui Chongyang on the left and right. They took out the book carefully and their faces became more solemn.

Master Mei turned around and went out, and was still the leading elementary school student who had been leading the way, reciting books.

After a while, the room was filled with little radish shaking its head, "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang..."

Yang Wu and Mei Xiaoba didn't even know the words, so they just stretched their necks to watch everyone's movements.

Gui Chongyang sat among the crowd, but his face showed a little confusion. He was five years old and was in the Great Confucian family next door. At that time, he was the only student, and the son of two "dad" friends.

At that time, I just thought that I had two more classmates and playmates. Thinking about the two classmates obviously focused on themselves and obviously put themselves in the position of companionship. It was the teacher who retired with a gray beard in Hanlin Academy. Even if the school opened, it would be too strange to accept only three elementary school students?

Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu said that they were well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, but they were actually humble. Compared with his two classmates, he was not too careful in studying, but he couldn't resist having a "child-controlled" "dad", for fear that he would have too much effort in studying and hurt his body, so he always felt various tips for memorization and understanding.

The old Hanlin saw it and shook his head and said it was a "wrong way", but in private he also sighed, saying that it was "Good luck makes people mess with people, it's a pity for Gui Xingyuan."

Gui Yuan, whose courtesy name is Xingyuan.

The white body without fame and fortune is a friend of the old Hanlin? When I was a child, there was a young man in high spirits in his family, who joked that he called him "senior brother". However, he did not see him showing respect to the old Hanlin, but instead, he was close to his "dad" in front of his "father".
