The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The academy starts at Chenshi, that is, you have to arrive at the academy before seven o'clock in the morning.

They were about to go out at four or five o'clock in the morning, and they arrived at the academy after walking for about an hour, and they were able to enter the academy just in time for Chenshi.

The academy divides the enlightened students into four classes, A, B, C, and D, with A being the last and D being the highest.The freshmen are enrolled in Class A. In the future, the college will have weekly, monthly and quarterly exams. They will be promoted according to their test scores. Of course, those with poor grades will continue to stay in Class A.

Their new students are all assigned to Class A.

Li Wen was also assigned to Class A. He came earlier, but the teacher was already here, and there were a few students who arrived earlier than him, and most of the seats were vacant. arrive.

"Hello, sir." Li Wen came to the gentleman, bowed to him, and announced his name.

"Well, go and sit over there, it will be your seat from now on." The gentleman was very satisfied with this polite student, and pointed to a better seat in front of him.

"Thank you, sir." Li asked after thanking the sir, and sat down in his own seat.

Next to him was an acquaintance, wasn't this the kid who took the exam with him that day?They are really destined.Li Wen greeted each other with a smile, and whispered, "Hi, how are you, classmate."

Lu Zhishu had arrived a long time ago, and he sat down at the position indicated to him by his husband, with a straight posture and a straight waist.Someone sat down next to him, and when he heard someone calling him, Lu Zhishu turned his head to look at the other party, paused in his heart, and nodded to the other party.

This kid looks serious, but he's still cute, Li Wen thought to himself.

Students came one after another from behind, and the seats inside were filled with people, and those who came later sat at the back.

A person in the thirties in the class is mostly six or seven years old, and at most will not be more than ten years old.

The students sitting here are all students carefully selected by the master of Anlu Academy. They are the most outstanding people selected from a group of children, so they are relatively good in terms of learning and rules.After everyone sat down, no one spoke aloud, and sat quietly in their seats.

On the point of rules, Li Wen had to say with emotion, the students of this era are really too good-behaved, try it in a modern kindergarten, the first day of school must be full of crying and fighting Constantly, where would they all sit in their positions obediently like now, and no one would run around.

As a result, he himself could only follow everyone and sit quietly in his own position, not even daring to turn his head around.

In this era, most of the people who can afford to read are from richer families, and there are very few peasant children who come to the academy to study.On the first day of school today, his aunt also found him a suit that looked relatively new and had no patches on it to wear to school, but sitting among these classmates, compared to other people's clothes, Li Wen's suit Coarse cloth looks very different.

But Li Wen didn't care about these, he was here to study, so naturally the comparison with his classmates should be about knowledge, not who can dress well or who can't dress well.

"Today is your first day at Anlu Academy. Those who can come to Anlu Academy to study are all students who have passed the academy's assessment. I hope you can cherish this opportunity to study at Anlu Academy in the future and study hard.〇 "

"I am the gentleman who will be responsible for teaching you the rituals and music in the future. My surname is Jiang. Just call me Mr. Jiang." Mr. Jiang sitting on the top looked around the students sitting below, nodded with satisfaction, and said, " Today is your first day of enrollment, and a formal entrance ceremony will be held for you later. Next, all of you get up and follow me〇"

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that everyone was present, Mr. got up and led the students to the place where the ceremony was held, and the students followed behind him.

On the first day of freshmen's enrollment, a formal entrance ceremony is held to pay homage to Confucius and Mr. This is a very important and grand event for them.Academician Qu personally hosts the entrance ceremony for freshmen every year, which shows how much the academy attaches importance to this entrance ceremony.

Standing in front of the hall, an academician in a white robe, with white hair and beard, looks like a fairy.

"Today, you are going to become members of our Anlu Academy. Today, we are here to hold an entrance ceremony for you. I hope that in the future, all of you will be able to study diligently and achieve something." Academician Qu is in charge of Qingping Town The academicians of Anlu Academy here, seeing these immature children, seem to see their hope of great success in the future, and they are also the students that Anlu Academy will cultivate in the future.

A portrait of Confucius was hung in the center of the lobby. Li Wen saw the familiar portrait of Confucius, and confirmed that this Mr. Kong had also appeared in this time and space.

From what he knows now, some things in this time and space are partly consistent with the history of his original time and space. This era also has Confucius and Mencius and Confucianism.Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, and Confucianism is respected by later generations. Therefore, students in ancient times had to worship Confucius first when they entered school.

"Next, the entrance ceremony officially begins"

"The first one is to wear the right hat and bow to Confucius." Academician Qu, who presided over the ceremony, shouted loudly.

All the students who entered the school lined up in the courtyard, bowed in front of the hanging statue of Confucius, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed nine times.

After worshiping Confucius, it is to worship Mr. and bow three times.

After worshiping the master, the students should present the six rituals to the master.The so-called six gifts are the six gifts that students give to their husbands. They are: celery, which means hard work and studious, and proficiency in work; lotus seeds, which means painstaking education; red beans, which means good luck; red dates, which means early high school; The merits and virtues are complete; dry and lean meat strips express the disciple's mind.

These things must be prepared before entering school and given to Mr. Wang on this day.

Fortunately, during the exam that day, Li Wen kept an eye out and asked his father to ask others if they need to bring anything to school.Before coming, his mother had prepared these things for him and brought them here.

This was also in the previous life, when Professor Li and Ms. Song took him to pay homage to Confucius and Mencius, and Professor Li gave him popular science about the ancients. Enrollment is a very important thing for him, so Li Wen will remember these things.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the students should put their hands into the water basin according to the master's request, which means "clean hands". Li Wen watched what others did, and then followed others to do it, and put his hands in the basin.

The implication of washing hands is to clean hands and mind, remove impurities and preserve essence, and hope that students can concentrate on their studies in the future without distractions.

The last step in the opening ceremony is to spot moles with cinnabar.

Holding a pen in his hand, the teacher dipped it in cinnabar, and put a red dot on the eyebrows of each student, which means to open up wisdom and brighten the mind, and hope that the students can learn easily in the future.

Every child has a cinnabar mole on the center of their eyebrows, like a lucky boy.

After ordering the cinnabar, the last step of the entrance ceremony was completed, and they officially became a member of Anlu Academy, and they were also formal students in this academy.

The tedious entrance ceremony was completed, and the whole morning passed.

Noon is the time for them to eat lunch and rest, and they don't resume classes until the end of the afternoon.

At noon, the academy provided them with a free lunch. There was a cafeteria in the academy where they ate.

"This is the cafeteria of the academy. The place where you will eat in the future. The academy will provide you with a lunch every day. You can take as much as you want. Remember, don't waste it." The steward took them to the cafeteria and told everyone Said, "Go, don't be impatient, go one by one."

Li Wen's eyes lit up when he heard that the academy provided them with a free lunch.

The dry food that I went out to eat in the morning is long gone. The family is afraid that he will be hungry when he is studying in the academy, so his mother specially prepared some dry food for him, which is just two steamed buns made of coarse grain. The taste and texture It won't be very good, at most it can only satisfy the hunger.

It would be even better if the academy can have free lunch!

However, Li Wen soon discovered that there were not too many people going to cook, so it was soon his turn to cook.The lunch provided by the academy included meat, two vegetables, and a soup. He also took two steamed buns. The steamed buns were made of coarse grains mixed with refined grains. His dry food looks much more palatable.

"A group of idiots, there are people who don't eat the free lunch?" Li Wen smiled in his heart, what is it if you don't take advantage of the advantages but are not idiots?

These rich children don't know the sufferings of the people at all. Poor him, he didn't know the sufferings of the people in the past. Only after he came to this world did Li Wen understand what suffering is.

If there is a free lunch, Li Wen decided to eat a little more for every lunch in the future.

"Thank you, sir." Li Wen followed the person in front to pick up the food, and when he got his meal, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled up when he saw that there was something to eat, and he showed a big smile to the man who was ordering the rice, smiling broadly. It's cute and cute.

The uncle has been working here for several years, and it was the first time that a student who was studying said thank you to him. After being stunned for a while, he laughed.In the future, when the child came to cook, he would remember the child's face and give him more food.

Li Wen happily left with his meal in hand.

"Master, it's time for dinner." The servant put a food box on the table, opened the lid and took out the food from inside.

Come, put them on the table one by one, and handed a pair of chopsticks to his young master.

"Why are you so slow? Are you trying to make this young master starve to death?" The young master took it and sat down to eat.

Carrying his meal in, Li Wen, who just happened to see this scene, passed by, "..."

Look at the food that other people put on the table, and then look at the few dishes he bought from the cafeteria and the two corn buns. There is no harm if there is no comparison. If you don’t compare, you don’t feel it. When you compare, you will find that the gap is really big. No wonder These young masters who are used to good food at home no longer eat the lunch provided by the academy.

It seems understandable.
