Sure enough, hearing Chen Yichen's outrageous answer, Li Tingxiu was so angry that he laughed in anger: "Okay, okay. OK! Since you said you were studying at the night of Bingzhu last night, let me test what you read."

As Li Tingxiu said, he picked up the ruler on the podium. It was obvious that Chen Yichen would soon pay a heavy price for his remarks...

"The Master looks angry. Chen Yichen will have to be at least twenty feet this time, right?"

A front student said with his neck shrank, his face feeling a little scared.

"Twenty feet? I think he is going to be kicked out of the church this time. It is a crime of disrespect for his teacher."

The schoolchild said this and grew fat, but his tone was a little gloating.

After hearing this, the fat white deskmate replied in a low voice: "No, Chen Yichen is the son of the Duke of the People's Republic of China, and he will not be kicked out of the church."

"Haha, what does it have to do with the Duke of the National Palace when he is not included in the genealogy? After being kicked out of the church, he will never have the chance to enter the Duke of the National Palace again."

A tall school child sat at the end and said sarcastically, without any friendship between classmates.

This is the current situation of Chen Yichen in Chengguo Gong’s School. He is known as the son of the Duke, but he does not have the status or status of the duke’s son. In addition, he has poor talent and understanding, and he is usually stupid. In the eyes of everyone, he is not much different from the stupid son of the landlord’s family, so he naturally becomes the object of ridicule.

Many people even look for a sense of superiority in him. After all, no matter what, it is the blood of the Duke of the Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, how can you have the chance to mock the son of the top duke of the Ming Dynasty?

Chen Yichen on the podium naturally couldn't hear the whispers of his classmates below the stage. He looked at the ruler in Li Tingxiu's hand and began to feel a little scared and a little angry!

Others traveling through the Duke family are popular and spicy, and they can also give them a system and change their fate easily! It would be fine if they only get an illegitimate child, but they wouldn't just do nothing on the first day and get a "stop" in vain. Then the difference in treatment is too big.

Facing Chen Yichen's somewhat cowardly expression, Li Tingxiu naturally understood that this kid was talking lies while reading on the candle at night, but he was not a teacher who punished students at will, at least he had to be famous in his work.

So before making the ruler, Li Tingxiu still asked: "Today I will explain the five-character verses and seven-character charades of "Thousand Family Poems". Since you said you read it at night with candles last night, you naturally have also reviewed it. I will recite "Jiangnanchun" by Du Mu of Tang Dynasty to me."

Chen Yichen was still a little nervous, worried that Li Tingxiu would have some problems, but he didn't expect that the so-called test was just asking to recite a Tang poem "Jiangnanchun". This is something I learned in elementary school textbooks in later generations. It was no different from the free questions. Do you really think of yourself as a primary school student?

That's it?

Chen Yichen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and replied: "Yes, sir."

"The orioles sing for thousands of miles, the green reflects the red, the wine in the mountains and rivers, the flags of the mountains and rivers, the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and the mist and rain."

Chen Yichen recited the poem "Jiangnanchun" clearly and loudly without any mistakes. But then again, even dozens of words of memory in two lifetimes may be wrong, which may be because of the fact that there is a problem with IQ.

Li Tingxiu was not surprised that Chen Yichen could recite it accurately, because "Thousand Family Poems" is the most basic admission and enlightenment, and the difficulty is slightly higher than that of "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names". If Chen Yichen had not been too distorted in the past, it would have been impossible to use this kind of question to test him.

So Li Tingxiu simply increased the difficulty and asked: "Since you have already read "Thousand Family Poems", I will test your other content. What is the eleventh paragraph of the "Elementary School"? "

"Elementary School" is an introductory book written by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty. Like "Thousand Family Poems", it has become one of the core textbooks for imperial examinations. However, compared with the catchy ancient poems of "Thousand Family Poems" in "Thousand Family Poems", the length and content of "Elementary School" are much more difficult to remember.

Chen Yichen recited "Elementary School" in the past, but he couldn't recite it completely for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, this "board" will not be escaped today.

But very often, changes occur in the word "accident". Originally, Chen Yichen of this world had been studying for several years and had a certain impression of the same textbook articles every day.

In another world, I am a 985 master's student in the major of cultural relics restoration. The theoretical knowledge courses have professional requirements for the basics of ancient Chinese, ancient history, and even ancient calligraphy and painting. In addition, I like literary history, so it is not difficult to be serious about the content of "Primary School".

So after Chen Yichen thought for a few seconds, a clear memo content gradually emerged in his mind.

"It is a rise in poetry, and it is a rise in poetry. Poetry is based on the evil and righteousness of human feelings and is used to persuade and punish... It is not possible to be accomplished by etiquette. It is easy to achieve the material in ancient times, but it is difficult to achieve the material in today's world."

The eleventh paragraph of the "Primary School" in hundreds of words, except for a few pauses, Chen Yichen has no error in the whole paragraph, which is completely different from his previous ones.

When the last word came to an end, the school children in the lecture hall who were planning to watch jokes stared at Chen Yichen with surprise eyes, unable to believe that he could recite it smoothly.

Even the expression of Master Meng Li Tingxiu became a little complicated at this moment. Now it was his turn to start to doubt life. Did he blame Chen Yichen by mistake? Could it be that this kid was really reading at the night of the candle last night?

"good."

Li Tingxiu finally nodded and praised. No matter whether Chen Yichen had really reviewed it seriously last night, at least he could recite it smoothly today, which is a kind of progress.

"It seems that you have made some progress in your studies during this period, but if you want to get results in the college entrance examination next year, that's not enough. As a teacher, let's take the exam for your Four Books."

Four Books?

Now it was Chen Yichen's turn to be stunned. The so-called four books are "The Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". The ancient thousand-year imperial examination tests the contents of these Four Books and Five Classics.

Although Chen Yichen had a good history of ancient Chinese in his previous life, the examination-oriented education in later generations was still different from the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty. Such as "Thousand Family Poems" and "Elementary School", you can also memorize rotely. In addition to the original text, the Four Books and Five Classics also have various official annotations, and the difficulty of memorizing them is greatly improved.

If the requirements are higher, or even put forward your own opinions, it is equivalent to taking the imperial examination directly. Chen Yichen believes that he does not have the ability to interpret the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Sir, didn't you just recite "Thousand Family Poems" at the beginning?"

Chen Yichen replied tactfully, saying that he would take the exam for "Thousand Family Poems", but after memorizing it, he would read "Elementary School". Now it's even more difficult to take the exam for the Four Books. Can't you afford to play it?

"You have been studying for several years and should be familiar with the Four Books."

Li Tingxiu regained his indifferent tone. This was not to make things difficult for Chen Yichen, but his previous standards for Chen Yichen were too low. If he wanted to pass the imperial examination and even further become a scholar, it would be impossible for him to not be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Yes, sir."

Chen Yichen knew that in this situation in ancient times, students had no room for negotiation, and since they could not avoid it, they could only bite the bullet.

"Okay, then let you choose a book yourself."

"I choose Mencius."

Chen Yichen made a decisive choice in his tone.

However, when Li Tingxiu heard Chen Yichen's choice, his eyes were filled with surprises. Because of the order of introduction to the Four Books, Zhu Xi, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty, had already set the tone for later students.

That is, first read the "Great Learning" to establish its scale; then read the "Analects of Confucius" to establish its roots; then read the "Mencius" to stimulate its excitement; finally read the "Doctrine of the Mean" to complete its subtlety.
