"... Only by being knowledgeable can one be broad and broad can one be broad. Only by being open to the sea and being humble and being humble can one continue to gain. Learning is boundless. Master Yang proposed that "learning without getting tired of learning, seeking the four barbarians". Only by being knowledgeable can one not be limited by steps and be confused by external things. Zixia said, "learning and believing, asking questions and thinking closely, benevolence is in it." If one learns, one has confusion. Although our ancestors have said, we should also question it if we are confused... If one learns, examines it, think carefully, distinguish it clearly, and practices it thoroughly. Only by being knowledgeable and practicing it can one be “renewed in virtue every day” and only by Wang Lao’s original intention of establishing the academy to "learn the classics and learn the ancients, help the times and practice the Tao, and achieve great wise men."

The mountain leader’s speech was deafening. Whenever Jiang Anyi thinks of it, he always feels excited. It is a blessing to be a member of the academy. It is even more fortunate to be with like-minded teachers and friends. Jiang Anyi deeply likes the academy.

When you get up in the morning, you can recite poems and essays of the sages, eat breakfast, read the scriptures by yourself, or listen to the teacher's teachings. If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher to explain his doubts or argue with classmates; after lunch, you can also write poems with a few friends, write poems and essays with a couple of friends; after dinner, you can communicate with each other's policy discussions, and remember what you have learned on a day before going to bed. Such a happy and tense day is the life that Jiang Anyi dreams of. If your dream comes true, what else can you ask for?

In the past month of enrollment, Jiang Anyi's academic progress has been rapid. The first ten-day exam is still in the fifth grade, and the ranking of the monthly exam has jumped to the third grade. Ling Xu's deputy lecture obviously favors Jiang Anyi, and the daily classes sent back are densely filled with texts, which hurts Li Shicheng very much. There are only a few lines of words in his daily classes.

In September of the golden autumn, the rice fields outside the academy were covered with gold, and the large pieces of golden yellow were the hope in the farmers' hearts. The rice at home was ripe. The letter sent by my mother said that everything was fine in the family, and the folding fan business had a bonus of more than 20 taels of silver every month, which allowed him to study and seek fame. Jiang Anyi felt a little relieved. Looking at the farmers who worked hard in the fields, An Yong no longer had to work in the fields this year.

"An Yi, I have a crush on three clubs, the Zhumei Poetry Society, Yangchun Music Society, and the Chess Society. Which clubs do you want to join?" Li Shicheng's excited voice interrupted Jiang Anyi's reverie.

After the first monthly exam, it suddenly felt like a night of spring breeze, and the walls of the academy were covered with notices of recruiting people. There were more than 500 teachers and students in the academy, but there were as many as cows, including poetry clubs, chess clubs, music clubs, reading clubs, riding clubs, and even food clubs.

The academy adopts encouragement policies for the associations, and the associations that meet the requirements even issue some subsidies. Due to the limited amount, the associations have some struggles. Ju Mingde and Fang Yuanchen are the presidents of Dexin Debate Society and Mingxing Debate Society respectively. The defense difficulties that are fixed once a month are the academy's dramas, fighting poetry, fighting piano, and fighting chess. The defense difficulties can be seen at any time in the academy, and sometimes the teacher also organizes and participates in it personally.

Its rise is also booming, and its demise is suddenly sudden. Most clubs naturally dissipated with the departure of the president, but there are exceptions. The three clubs that Li Shicheng likes are all exceptions. The Bamboo and Plum Poetry Society was named after the "Bamboo Shadow and Poems Thin, and Plum Blossoms Entering Dreams" by his senior Wang Yanqing 120 years ago; Yangchun Music Society comes from a song "Yangchun Rain" by his senior Zheng Fanli 87 years ago; 30 years ago, Guo Tianming, a Go master at Zhangyi Academy, visited the academy. Zhao Liben, who was not yet famous, fought ten games with him in the Evening Feng Pavilion, with five wins and five losses. The "Ten Evening Feng" was regarded as the battle of Zhao Shengshou's fame by later generations. Now Zhao Liben is the leader of the chess world. The chess club he once lived in was renamed Liben, and it has been flourishing to this day.

The academy has regulations that each student can only join three clubs at most and is not allowed to change them, so most people want to join well-known big clubs and make some connections, which will be helpful to the future. However, well-known clubs are extremely strict in recruiting newcomers, such as the Zhumei Poetry Club, which only has five places this year.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Anyi wanted to join the top three societies. He was amused by Li Shicheng's big appetite and laughed sarcastically: "Brother Li, your ambition is really great, but you should look down at the road."

It seemed that he could not hear the meaning of Jiang Anyi's words, and Li Shicheng said proudly: "If we act, we should advance bravely and never return."

Jiang Anyi changed his face and looked upright. Jiang Anyi felt that he lacked this enterprising spirit and bowed solemnly: "I am grateful to you for your education. I wish Brother Li a success and all his wishes come true."

After dinner, Li Shicheng went to participate in the selection of the Zhumei Poetry Club. Jiang Anyi was reading alone in front of the window. In more than a month, he had borrowed eight books from the Tibetan books. This book "Nanshan Lectures" was written by Mr. Ruyu of Wei Chao. It was compiled by famous quotes from the hundreds of schools of classics and history to analyze them. It was divided into seven major chapters: self-cultivation, academic management, governance, life management, family management, and friendship. Jiang Anyi reads the article of academic management.

Just as I was reading the wonderful place, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I looked up and saw someone standing in front of the door with a smile. It was Senior Liu, who was the one who often came to Zeng to borrow books and read books. Most of them were the receptionist of Senior Liu with a long face. He was familiar with him. He quickly got up and welcomed him in, please sit down and pour water.

Senior Liu glanced at the book on the table and smiled and said, "The "Nanshan Lectures" is like Mr. Yu's masterpiece. Brother Yu was very happy. He has read it three times. Among them, the way of studying, governing and dealing with things is particularly wonderful. Brother Yu has benefited a lot."

After chatting about "Nanshan Talking about Essentials", Senior Liu straightened his body, pulled the blue shirt straight, and said, "I am here this time to invite Brother Jiang to join my Book Fragrance Club."

Jiang Anyi was stunned. There were many clubs that came to recruit people during this period, all of which were small clubs, and some even used recruiting signs to invite newcomers to eat. Some were fooled, others learned their lessons, and everyone was watching. Books and Fragrance Club, the name of the club that Jiang Anyi knew flashed through his mind, obviously there was no name of Books and Fragrance Club.

Senior Liu understood Jiang Anyi’s thoughts and said with a smile: “Shuxiang Club is a reading club. Two years ago, I summoned some people who like to read to gather together to talk about the past and present, and regard books as friends. I saw that my good brother is also a good person, and the books he borrowed were very much for my appetite, so I took the liberty to come and asked my good brother to join the Bookxiang Club.”

Jiang Anyi silently said, thinking in his heart: He was born in a farm family, and his family was poor before. He had never been exposed to piano, painting, or chess. He only knew the basics of calligraphy. He was proud of his calligraphy. When he came to the academy, he found that there were many people who wrote good writing, and it was not his strength to argue. The only thing he could do was to show off was poetry, and this poem was borrowed from the demon.

Since winning the case, visitors often come to my family. In name, they make friends with literature and poetry. Most people have no superficial thoughts. Some want to make a name for themselves, some want to take the opportunity to increase their reputation, and some have a familiar face. The wood is fascinated in the forest, and I have already tasted the taste of wind. The academy is hidden in the place where dragons and tigers are hidden, but it is better to hide the weakness.

Jiang Anyi lowered his head and pondered. Liu Yushan did not urge him. He slowly drank water. The noise outside the house laughed and made the room quieter. Looking at Jiang Anyi's slightly dark side face, Liu Yushan was a little confused. Five years ago, he was admitted to the academy with a working look. Five years of life in the academy faded away the blackness on his face, but he could not fade away the hard years. He had a lot of eyes on Jiang Anyi, so he saw his former self in him.

Thinking of this, Liu Yushan decided to add more fire, and gently knocked his finger on the table to awaken Jiang Anyi, and smiled faintly: "Although the Book Fragrance Society is a small club, it has the same benefit. It can be borrowed from the rare books, rare books, and the notes of the sages on the second floor."

"Take it seriously", Jiang Anyi stood up, his eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Jiang is willing to join the Books and Fragrance Club."

During the hour of Hai, Li Shicheng rushed into the house wrapped in a gust of hot wind, and a series of uncontrollable laughter blurted out. Seeing that Li Shicheng was smiling and looking at him with a gaze, Jiang Anyi was almost going to say "Come and ask me quickly" and laughed in his heart, and asked tactfully: "Brother Li is so happy, but what he wants is done?"

"No," Li Shicheng sat down proudly, and said in rush, and drank three glasses of water in a row, and drank a little bit of energy.

"The Bamboo and Plum Poetry Club recruits new people in Yuanzhi Pavilion tonight. When I arrived, the pavilion was full of people. There were nearly a hundred people fighting for it. It was a grand occasion." Li Shicheng said as he took out the folding fan from his sleeve, opened it "brush", shaking gently, and the breeze blew the hair on his temples, looking like he was in his chest.

Jiang Anyi did not notice the posture he was posing, and his eyes fell on the folding fan. He really admired Fatty Guo. The folding fan was prosperous in the academy. The folding fan, which was printed with the poem written by Feng, one of Zechang's four sages, sold very well in the academy. The hand in Li Shicheng's hand was printed with the poem "The boat was horizontal" and Jiang Anyi specifically explained that he could not have his name, and the signature was "Pingman Bamboo Art".

Li Shicheng was immersed in the atmosphere at that time, his eyes were empty and murmured: "The president announced that poetry should determine the quality of the poem, and the words bamboo or plum should be included in the poem. I know that my opportunity has come."

"At the third update, I studied hard and the window reflected the red, the rooster crowed and the morning moon greeted the frost. The sword was sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold." Li Shicheng's voice became louder and louder, and at the end he almost roared, and he could see that his eyes were red and touching the scene and feeling moved.

Jiang Anyi was a little unhappy. Although he was used to borrowing verses from demons, when others borrowed verses from here without any discussion, the taste of taking them without complaining still made him uncomfortable. I think demons also feel this way.

Seeing Jiang Anyi's unhappiness, Li Shicheng put away the folding fan, stood up, and apologized: "Anyi, the two words of the sword and plum blossom are what you did. It is not worth using the foolish brother, but joining the Zhumei Club is my wish. Please fulfill it." After that, he bowed and bowed.

Jiang Anyi supported Li Shicheng. Li Shicheng was the first friend he made in the academy. It was impossible for him to have a gap in a poem and said hurriedly: "Why do Brother Li do this? From now on, this sword and plum blossom will be made by Brother Li."

After receiving Jiang Anyi's promise, Li Shicheng put down his worries and crossed his legs and continued to brag: "As soon as this poem "Encouraging Learning" was released, everyone was shocked. President Fang immediately announced that I was selected. Among the more than a hundred people, I, Old Li, was the leader. How happy, life should be like this."

The dizzy lights reflected on Li Shicheng's face, and his white face was blushing with excitement. Jiang Anyi was unintentionally listening to Li Shicheng's words, there was still some time before the lights were turned off, so he could finish reading the academic chapter of "Nanshan Lectures" earlier, and he would start borrowing the chapter on dealing with the world tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
