Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Lian didn't say anything more, and the price would drop if he said too much.If Li Daoqing doesn't accept him as a student, then he will find someone else.The capital is so big, and there are many more talented and learned people than Li Daoqing. Given his family's background, someone will accept him as a student.

Li Daoqing knew that it was not good for him to reject Jia Lian. After all, he was teaching at the free school in Jia's mansion. If he rejected Jia Lian, he would be kicked out of the free school in Jia's mansion in all likelihood, and he would offend Jia's family.Although the Jia family is not a first-class family, it is also a Zanying family, and it still has some status in the capital. If it offends the Jia family, it will be more or less troublesome.

Although he has some talent and reputation, but these are false, offended the powerful, no one will be willing to help him.Besides, he is old and can't stand the toss.

This Jia Lian personally visited the house early this morning, which shows that he is very sincere.Although he didn't study hard before, it doesn't mean he is stupid, and he is still young, so he still has a chance.

Jia Lian stood aside, waiting patiently until Li Daoqing made a decision.

Li Daoqing thought about it in his heart, and finally agreed: "Be my student, you have to be prepared, I am very strict, and I will not show mercy to you just because you are the young master of the Jia family." Since ancient times, the strict teacher A high-ranking student, like Jia Lian, is a child of a family who is pampered and spoiled. If he is not strict, he will not become a talent at all.

"If you wish, the stricter you are, the better."

"Worship me as a teacher, you can't study half-heartedly, and you can't give up halfway." He was really afraid that this kid would be motivated to study on a whim by Jia Zhu, and then he would not want to study after a while.

"Don't worry sir, I won't."

"In this case, I will accept you as a student."

Jia Lian was not surprised at Li Daoqing's promise.

Li Daoqing brought Jia Lian to his study. Jia Lian first bowed three times to the picture of Confucius hanging on the wall, then kowtowed three times to Li Daoqing, and then offered tea to the teacher.

Li Daoqing took a few sips of tea after receiving Jia Lian's offer of tea, and then the apprenticeship ceremony ended, and the master-student relationship between the two was formally established.

"Sir, this is a little sympathy from the students." Jia Lian handed the prepared gift to Li Daoqing.

Li Daoqing didn't pretend to refuse, but reached out to take it: "You have a heart." It's normal to receive a teacher's gift, and there is no need to pretend to refuse. "You don't usually attend classes, you don't have any foundation, and you have to learn everything from scratch. After school every day, you come to me and study for two more hours."

"Sir, I have memorized the Analects these days, and I probably understand its meaning."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Li Daoqing was a little surprised: "Then you recite Xueerpian to me, and then tell me about its lecture notes."

The Master said: "Study and learn from time to time, isn't it easy to talk about it? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know it and don't feel stunned?"

……

……

……

Jia Lian memorized Xueerpian verbatim, which shocked Li Daoqing.Just now I heard Jia Lian say that he memorized "The Analects of Confucius" by heart, but he didn't believe it. I didn't expect that Jia Lian didn't say any more big words. He really memorized "The Analects of Confucius" without any mistakes.

After memorizing the Xueerpian, Jia Lian explained its meaning. Although he said it very straightforwardly, he said it very accurately.

"Sir, I wonder if I made a mistake?"

Li Daoqing stroked his beard, and nodded with satisfaction: "I recited it word for word, and the explanation made sense. Not bad, it seems that you put in a lot of effort."

If Li Daoqing had accepted Jia Lian as a student before, he would have been reluctant.Well, he is very satisfied now.This kid is not as bad as he imagined, he has memorized "The Analects of Confucius" in just ten days, and he also knows its meaning, which is really good.You must know that before Jia Lian was injured, he couldn't recite a chapter of "The Analects of Confucius", let alone understand its meaning.

"In the past few days when I was recuperating at home, I read and endorsed every day."

"Very good, very good." Li Daoqing felt that Jia Lian had given him a big surprise, which made him look forward to his future performance. "It's getting late, it's time to go to the charity school, come here first, and talk about it after school."

"Okay, the students will not bother Mr., let's take a step first."

"Go."

After Jia Lian left with his servant, Li Daoqing's wife came over: "Have you accepted him as a student?"

"Take it, this kid is not as bad as I thought."

"If you accept him as a student, will it offend Jia Zheng's family?" Li Daoqing's wife was afraid that her husband would take Jia Lian as an apprentice, and then get involved in the Jia family's conspiracy.

"I'm just a teacher." Of course Li Daoqing knew what his wife was worried about. He knew about the situation of the two brothers in Rongguo Mansion, but it had nothing to do with him.He is just a teacher, and he is only responsible for teaching students to read.

"Besides, can I not accept it? If I don't accept it, Jia Amnesty will not let me go." At least Jia Zheng is reasonable, and Jia Amnesty is a stingy guy, and it will not end well if he is provoked. .

Li Daoqing's wife thought about it, and sighed softly: "I hope you won't get involved in the troublesome things in Rongguo Mansion."

"No." Before, he wanted to be Jia Zhu's husband, and wanted to teach Jia Zhu everything he had learned and experienced in his life. Unfortunately, Jia Zheng didn't like him, so he hired someone else to be Jia Zhu's husband, saying that he didn't mind. That's fake.Now that he accepts Jia Lian as a student, it will make him no worse than Jia Zhu, and make Jia Zheng regret not choosing him as Jia Zhu's teacher.

The matter of apprenticeship has been successfully completed, and the next step is to study hard.After solving a major matter, Jia Lian felt much lighter.

Came to Yixue, dealt with a group of little ghosts perfunctorily, and then started class.

Li Daoqing saw Jia Lian listening to the class seriously and taking notes from time to time, and he became more and more satisfied with him.

After school in the afternoon, Jia Lian asked Xing'er to go back and tell Feng'er that he would go back later.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't go back after school, Jia Juan and the others thought he was going out for a walk, so they surrounded him: "Where is Brother Lian going, shall we go with you?" To delicious food, to drink fine wine.

"I'll go to Mr. Li's."

"What are you doing at Mr. Li's place?"

"Go ask him something."

Jia Fan and the others all looked stunned when they heard this.

"I'm going to Mr. Li's, so I won't play with you. You can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian took the servant and walked in another direction.

After Jia Lian left for a long time, Jia Fan and the others came back to their senses, and they all looked incredible.

"What did Jia Lian go to Mr. Li to ask for advice, to learn?"

Jia Lin said uncertainly: "It should be."

"How is it possible?!" Jia Ying exclaimed.

"Jia Lian hasn't slept in school for the past two days, and listens very seriously." Jia Chen said, "I think Jia Zhu's going to be admitted to Qingshan Academy stimulated him."

Jia Juan pouted, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "How can he compare with Jia Zhu, even if he studies hard now, he can't compare with Jia Zhu."

In the eyes of everyone in the Jia family, Jia Zhu is a genius, and he will definitely be the number one scholar in the future, and his future will be bright.

"The title of the Rongguo Mansion belongs to Jia Zhu, no matter what Jia Lian does, it will be a waste of effort." Jia Lin, including the rest of the Jia family, felt that Jia Zhu would inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion in the future.

"Let's leave him alone, let's go back."

Although Jia Lian is Jia She's direct son, nine out of ten he will not be able to inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion in the future, so they don't need to spend too much energy on him.Of course, Jia Lian still has to save face.

It's a pity that Jia Zhu has already left Yixue, otherwise they would have gone over to curry favor with him.During this time, they wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Zhu, but unfortunately they couldn't enter Rongguo Mansion without a valid excuse.They could only use this excuse to congratulate Jia Zhu after he was admitted to Qingshan Academy.

Since Jia Zhu was recommended to go to Qingshan Academy, Mrs. Wang was afraid of disturbing his study, so she put an end to all the guests who came to visit Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu nestled in her own room every day, reading in the morning and evening, working very hard and hard.

After Jia Lian dismissed Jia Fan and the others, he came to Li Daoqing's house and started his first day of cooking.

Li Daoqing asked him about his study in detail, and asked him if he could memorize other books except "The Analects of Confucius".

Jia Lian told him that in addition to memorizing "The Analects of Confucius", he could also recite "University".Li Daoqing asked him to recite it to him, and he recited it accurately.

"Sir, I can only memorize "University", but I don't quite understand its meaning."

"It's pretty good to be able to recite "The Great Learning" verbatim. It doesn't matter if you don't understand its meaning, I will teach you slowly." It seems that Jia Lian has a good memory, which is an advantage.

Next, Li Daoqing began to explain the meaning of "University".

Jia Lian listened and wrote it down carefully.

Li Daoqing saw that Jia Lian's handwriting was crooked, like a ghost drawing, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently: "The handwriting written by a three-year-old child is better than your handwriting."

Jia Lian also felt helpless looking at his ghost-like characters.He is a modern person who is used to ballpoint pens and fountain pens. When he was suddenly asked to write calligraphy, he was not used to it, so of course he couldn't write well.

Li Daoqing's most outstanding thing is his good calligraphy. Now that Jia Lian is his student, if his handwriting is so ugly, his face will be dull.

"I'll give you a copybook later, you practice calligraphy every day."

"I will definitely practice calligraphy well." He also felt that his calligraphy was horrible, and planned to start practicing calligraphy in two days.

Li Daoqing nodded, there was nothing more to say, and he continued to explain.

Time passed by like a white horse, and the sky slowly darkened.

Mrs. Li Daoqing prepared dinner and asked Li Daoqing and Jia Lian to eat first, and then continue teaching after eating.

Jia Lian was not too polite, so he ate with Li Daoqing and his wife.

Mrs. Li Daoqing was also afraid that the rough tea and light food at home would not suit Jia Lian's appetite, and that he would dislike him, but she didn't expect him to eat with great relish, and kept saying that it was delicious, without any pretensions of a nobleman.

Mrs. Li Daoqing was very happy to see that the food she cooked was praised as delicious and she finished it, and her impression of Jia Lian changed greatly.

After dinner, the master and apprentice continued their classes.

Here, Jia Lian went to class without distraction, and there was an uproar in the Rongguo Mansion because of his official worship of Li Daoqing as his teacher.
