Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

After Mianli sat down, he chatted and laughed with Yongpei and the others, and later came a few students from the county school, who were also very talented people, only slightly inferior to Heyue and others, but they were also quick-minded.More than a dozen people gather to discuss poetry and are very accomplished, while Mianli is able to come out on top with what he has learned in his previous life, which makes everyone admire him.The crowd didn't disperse until it was almost curfew.

After returning to the upper courtyard, Mianli felt relieved!This time is considered to be a formal contact with many students of this era. It is really not to be underestimated. Those who can enter the school have high IQs, and most of them have high EQs.Mianli rubbed her head and slowly fell asleep.

There is an old saying in Dayue State, which is called entering the Confucian Temple, leaving the county to study, and going to Qingyun Road!The entry into the Confucian Temple here refers to the students who have been admitted as scholars in the county examination. This jade card can be borrowed from the treasure house of each Confucian temple to borrow books that are said to contain awe-inspiring righteousness. If a person with good luck can rely on that book to ascend to the sky in one step, become a Confucianist cultivator with epiphany, and the whole family can also enter a family of monks. It's just that the chance of this is not one in a million.

In the upper courtyard, Mianli was woken up by Steward Fu early in the morning, carefully dressed in scholar clothes, scholar boots, also known as Wenzi boots, and a green cloud cap.Because after entering the Confucian Temple to worship, each scholar has stepped half of his foot into the official career, which is equivalent to stepping on the Qingyun Road. Therefore, the back of the scholar's hat is embroidered with Yunxiu pattern, so it is named Qingyun hat.

"Liu Ye is really handsome in this outfit." Steward Fu helped Mianli carry the gift box, watched Xiaoying help Mianli tie a belt and accessories, and the person beside him praised.

"Hehe, Aunt Fu has said it before. You haven't seen it, but the seniors I just met yesterday are the handsome and handsome people." Mianli said with a smile.

"Hearing Liu Ye say so, this old slave also wants to see and see! I think Madam will be very happy to know that Liu Ye has made friends. After our Mianfu buys a property in the county, then we have to prepare for the housewarming banquet." Fu The butler was talking beside him.

Mianli asked, "Buy a property here? Why?"

Butler Fu smiled: "Master Liu, you will enter the county school later, have you forgotten? The master asked me to inquire about the district school before I came, and I already have some clues."

Mianli paused: "Aunt Fu, don't be too busy. Regardless of whether I pass the autumn exam or not, I will go to Suilin Village to study temporarily. I won't study in the county for too long. I already asked yesterday, as long as I arrive at the county on time as usual. You just need to take the grading exam, once you win the exam, you will automatically leave the county school and enter the Gongyuan, so you don't have to be busy, Aunt Fu."

"But Master Liu, this is what the eldest lady told me." Xiaoying who was beside him said nothing.

Mianli waved his hand: "We just separated, everything is waiting to be done, and the cost is too high. An extra house is just a dead thing, and it should be used where it should be used. Aunt Fu, you helped me go back to my eldest sister, my own sister, don't be so polite .”

Steward Fu looked at Mianli, who was already gaining dignity, and naturally crossed his hands in salute: "No, I'll do it now."

Mianli looked at Steward Fu and nodded with satisfaction: "Aunt Fu is not in a hurry, let's all go to the Confucian Temple and get off soon."

Butler Fu cracked his mouth with a smile: "That's right, this old slave also enjoys Liu Ye's joy, you are a Wenqu star!"

Mianli waved her hands, carefully felt that there was nothing wrong with her attire, and Mianli walked out of the courtyard with a serious face.The waiter and the owner of the store waited outside early, came out to congratulate Mianli when they saw Mianli, Mianli smiled and cupped his hands, and then got into the soft sedan chair newly bought by Butler Fu.The sedan chair walked in front, Xiaoying accompanied the sedan chair, butler Fu got into the carriage of Mian's family, and the group went to the Confucian Temple.

The Confucian Temple in the county is built near the county school, which can be regarded as being close to mountains and rivers.As time goes by, large-scale schools have been built nearby. These schools are not only used to provide places for local students to study, but also to receive students who come to study abroad.Since the founding of Dayue Kingdom, it has always attached great importance to education, and the renovation of the school is also done every five years, so the location of the school is very prosperous.There are bookstores, foot shops, cloth shops, food shops, etc., but they are all on the periphery.After Mianli entered the Confucian Temple, the servants of the Mian family could browse the surrounding shops, and when they began to worship the Confucian Temple, they could also enter a relatively high area to view the scenery, which is called Jiefu here.

Entering the Confucian Temple in Dayue Kingdom is a very solemn ceremony for students, and there must be no carelessness during the worship.It is said that there will be a reaction, if there is disrespect, not only the student himself will be cut off from the school, but the family will also be punished.

Mianli got off the sedan chair and walked into the Confucian Temple. The people around looked at Mianli's attire and gave way one after another. There was a bold woman with a mole or a mole who would smile and whisper to her companions about how good a scholar is. He is handsome, sometimes the old man next to him will smile and ask his family to help him to get married, and then there will be laughter next to him, Mianli has bright eyes and ears, and he can hear clearly. A little older, it looked like a temple fair, and Mianli's nervousness eased a little for a while.

Arriving in front of the Confucian Temple, I saw Yongpei and a few fellow students standing with their arms sleeves waiting for the school official, watching Mianli approaching from a distance, Yongpei made fun of him: "Sister Mian, you came here with a lot of laughter, no I don't know how many people like it."

Mianli straightened her clothes calmly: "I don't know how many people are favored by them, I only know that there should be a hundred or so fewer than Sister Yong."

A white-faced man with a mole on the corner of his mouth smiled broadly and said loudly, "Sister Yongxue, it's not easy for someone to tease you like this."

"Brother be careful, I'm still very approachable, why do you think I'm hard to approach?" Yong Pei said leisurely.

That fellow was stunned, this guy is not like this in the county school.

Dangdang, the big bell in front of the Confucian Temple was rang by a soap coat, the sound was crisp and straight to the soul, and for a while, the scholars and the watching people were all stunned.

Xuezheng stroked his beard and stood in front of the Confucian Temple with satisfaction. Looking at the many scholars, he held up the book of rites with both hands, and sang: "Worship the Confucian Temple and dress up."

After listening to Xuezheng's words, many scholars, with the help of the yamen servants next to them, began to line up in a neat long line.

Seeing that all the talents were ready, Xuezheng nodded to the adjutant below, and the adjutant sang loudly: "The beginning of etiquette lies in proper appearance, uniform appearance, and obedience to words. Students, do you know?"

All the scholars hurriedly bowed and said, "No!"

After hearing the unified answer, the adjutant walked up to Xuezheng and crossed his hands in salute: "My lord, the auspicious time has come. The worthy student has been waiting for a long time."

Xuezheng nodded: "Open the Confucian Temple, and all the students come in to worship."

The adjutant replied: "No." The gate of the Confucian Temple was opened.

So the adjutant passed down the order one by one, each row of scholars was led by a gentleman from the county school, and the scholars lined up neatly, waiting for the adjutant to lead the way.After standing respectfully for a while, all the scholars stepped through the gate of the Confucian Temple and entered the Confucian Temple under the leadership of Mr. Xian Xue.

Entering the Confucian Temple, you can walk a hundred steps to a large hall, which is dedicated to the sage of literature, who is also the great sage who brought righteousness to the people, and is the ancestor of the entire scholar's career in imperial examinations.All the students kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times together, and after saluting, the teacher in front handed out jade cards one by one. In exchange for a unique jade badge with a special logo, it can be used as an identity document.

After all the scholars had taken the jade plaques, in front of the Confucian Temple, all the gentlemen of the county school stood in front of them, facing each other. There are six gifts in the gift box: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and thin strips of meat!

Then the scholars bowed to each other, expressing that they could love and help each other.

After all the etiquette is completed, the adjutant asked the gentlemen to lead the students to the back!There is a high mountain with lush forests. It seems that the magpies know that today is a good day, hanging on the branches and chirping, bringing joy to the solemn atmosphere.

Opposite the back door of the Confucian Temple is a stone road paved with bluestone, which extends to the top of the mountain.When worshiping the Confucian Temple, this process is called Shangqingyun Road.On the top of the mountain there is a life-sized sculpture of a sage of literature, and there is a clear spring next to the sculpture. Scholars climbed up and touched the sculpture after cleaning their hands. It can be said that the official career has been promoted at every step, but there has never been such a legend in Anding County since the Confucian Temple was established.

Standing at the foot of the stone steps, the adjutant pointed to Qingyun Road and said: "I am referring to Qingyun Road. Once on Qingyun Road, you will be able to soar to the sky. You must work hard. You must know that the road is difficult and the road of learning is even more difficult. I hope that you will not be afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and go straight to the sky."

All the scholars cupped their hands in thanks: "Thank you, sir."

Ever since Mianli came here, his mood has been fluctuating, and his mental strength is very active. After saluting with all the scholars, Mianli looked at Qingyun Road thoughtfully. This happened once in the Qingyun Temple. Mianli Some expect, some puzzled.

With the start of the adjutant, everyone began to climb the stone steps. Mianli felt carefully, it seemed that there was some kind of blessing on the stone slabs, and the higher the step, the more difficult it was, but the increase was very small, and the perception of ordinary people could not be felt. Come out, but whoever is in Mianli, his mental power is fluctuating, and the surrounding forests are also telling joy, and it seems to be mocking the overreaching of these human beings.

Most of the scholars are very average in physical strength, after all, they don't pay much attention to exercise. After a while, there are scholars leaning on the side and standing up.After walking one-tenth of the distance, the crowd began to lose their formation. Some people began to lag behind obviously, and some people crossed the past. Mr. Xian Xue wrote down the file of this person, how many steps he climbed on Qingyun Road.

Halfway up Mianli, a voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Who are you?"
