"Confucius Temple..." Li Sanjian stared blankly at the three words on the plaque on the door of the Confucius Temple, and the package in his hand slipped to the ground unknowingly.

It turned out that the official school of Lingshan County in Qinzhou was located in the Confucius Temple in Lingshan County, and the county school in Lingshan County was located in the Confucius Temple. Li Sanjian was not surprised. Li Sanjian was surprised or depressed that the county school in Lingshan County was so crude and far from Li Sanjian's mind.

The school in middle school is far behind...

Not to mention grand and majestic, at least it is spacious and bright, right?

This Confucius Temple is a completely dilapidated small temple. The house is low and the walls are in ruins. The small temple has been seriously eroded by the years. Li Sanjian and others can only vaguely tell from the remaining sacrificial animals on the eaves that the scale was still quite large at that time.

.

The wall is still covered with fallen leaves, and under the wall is overgrown with weeds. Instead of a couplet at the entrance of the county school, Li Sanjian really can't see that this is a school for teaching and educating people...

The first couplet on the gate of the county school reads "The mountain of books has roads and diligence as the path", and the second couplet reads "The sea of ​​learning has no boundaries but hard work makes the boat."

However, Li Sanjian only took a general look outside and didn't know what was going on inside.

"What are you doing?" Just as Li Sanjian and others were poking their heads at the door, an old man in his fifties came out of the temple and asked.

Li Sanjian didn't know whether this person was a servant of the imperial court or a helper. The clothes on this person were neat, but Li Sanjian couldn't tell what kind of person this person was based on his clothes.

"Students are here to study. Please let me know." Li Sanjian guessed that this person was a janitor, so he raised his hand and said.

"Oh, so I'm here to study." The old man took a bamboo stick and picked out his ears and asked, "Do you have a guarantee of security?"

"Guarantee? Yes." Upon hearing this, Li Sanjian quickly took out the guarantee from his arms and handed it to the old man.

The so-called guarantee is a certificate of study, which states Li Sanjian's place of origin, age, and the local official's guarantee certificate. The guarantee must state that he is willing to attend school and read, and it shall be implemented in accordance with the rules of the school.

"It turns out he is from Danzhou, Qiongtai." The old man looked at the pledge and said, "The sky is so far away. It's not easy to come here at such a young age."

"What my father-in-law said is that the road is really difficult, and the students had a hard time getting here." Li Sanjian said with a cupped hand.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Li Sanjian, shook the bail in his hand and asked, "You look like you are from Li, right?"

"The student's ancestral home is Shaowu, and he is from the Han family." Li Sanjian replied respectfully.

The old man shook the bailian in his hand impatiently and asked: "Oh, Han people, why do Han people look like this?"

Li Sanjian felt extremely puzzled. It was clearly stated in the pledge of guarantee, so why did this person ramble on and did not go in to report it?

"The student's mother is from Li, so..." Although Li Sanjian was puzzled, he answered honestly.

"No more?" the old man interrupted Li Sanjian and asked.

"Anything else to ask? The students have endless questions..." Li Sanjian asked doubtfully.

When the old man heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The old man is old and frail, and his legs and feet are inconvenient..."

If your legs and feet are inconvenient, why don't you go and have a rest? Li Sanjian thought to himself, he looks very energetic, why did this person say this?

The old man, General Li Sanjian, had a suspicious look on his face, and he suddenly felt a little depressed. He had already said it so clearly, why didn't he understand? Or was he pretending to be confused on purpose?

After the old man was depressed for a while,

, looked up at the sky and said: "It's too hot today, it's not easy to go for a trip. Do you... understand? You have to give the old man a bowl of water and wine, right?"

Straight girl, Li Sanjian finally understood, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, it turned out that he wanted to pay for running errands...

Although Li Sanjian was disdainful in his heart, he had to bow his head when he was under the eaves. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

Li Sanjian helplessly counted ten copper coins and handed them to the old man.

"Waiting." The old man took the copper coins and put them in his arms. His face was no longer so ugly, and he ran into the temple to report to Li Sanjian.

He can run faster than a rabbit, but his legs and feet are weak. Li Sanjian really wished that the old man would fall into a fight and drop him to death.

In addition to himself, Li Sanjian also had to bear the burden of Shankui and the long bean sprouts to eat. In this case, Li Sanjian's money was not enough and he had to save some money.

Before the old man ran into the temple gate, he met a man in his thirties.

This man has a square face, medium build, dark and rough skin, and three short strands of beard under his chin. Without the blue official robe on his body, he could easily be mistaken for a farmer.

The blue official robe is extremely neat and spotless.

When the old man saw this man being surrounded by some students from the school, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My dear, my dear, Mr. Huang."

"What's the matter?" Seeing the old man's panic, Senior Huang asked with a frown.

The old man quietly tucked the ten coins into his sleeves and replied: "In response to Professor Huang, there are students outside who want to come to the school to listen and read."

"Well, is there security guarantee? Where is the person?" Professor Huang asked after hearing this.

County schools in the Song Dynasty were generally run by the county magistrate, with academic officials such as teaching edicts, direct learning, lecturers, accountants, Zhai chiefs, Zhai edicts, Xuezheng, xuelu, Zhangyu, seniors and other academic officials responsible for the major and minor affairs of the county schools.

The senior is mainly responsible for the affairs of the county school, and also teaches classics. According to the Song Dynasty system, if a student wants to enter the county school, he must first meet with the senior or professor and apply for a certificate of insurance. Only after the senior agrees can he enroll.

"I have the bail, and the person is over there." The old man then pointed to Li Sanjian not far away and replied.

After hearing this, Senior Huang took a few steps, looked at Li Sanjian for a while, and then said to Li Sanjian: "You can go, there is no need to enroll in school."

Li Sanjian was stunned when he heard this, and at the same time he was extremely angry. He had gone through so much trouble to get here from Qiongtai to Danzhou. He had worked hard all the way and was exploited, but in the end he got such a sentence.

, was refused admission, which made Li Sanjian extremely angry and depressed.

"Why are students denied admission?" Li Sanjian tried to restrain the urge to throw the book box on Professor Huang's head, and asked as calmly as possible.

"The reason why ordinary people are human is etiquette and righteousness. The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in correct appearance, correct color, and correct speech. Then the etiquette and righteousness are prepared. To correct the ruler and ministers, to care for father and son, and to care for elders and children.

"The king and his ministers are upright, father and son are close, elders and young ones are harmonious, and then etiquette and righteousness are established..." Mr. Huang explained the reasons for rejecting Li Sanjian's admission. Before he finished speaking, Li Sanjian secretly cried out, "It's bad."

In this world, etiquette is valued. Li Sanjian had already learned this lesson from Su Shi when he was in Qiongtai and Danzhou, but Li Sanjian forgot about it at the critical moment...

At this time, Li Sanjian was covered in dust, with a scarf tied on his head, and his clothes were messy. For a student who was studying, it was normal for him to be rejected by others if he was so undressed and did not pay attention to etiquette.

But Li Sanjian is still alive

How could a person who was unfamiliar with Shan County go to bathe and change clothes? Moreover, because Li Sanjian's family was poor, he had no spare change of clothes when he went out, so how could he change clothes?

Li Sanjian secretly cried out in his heart.

Of course, after Chen Yide gave Li Sanjian ten gold leaves as a gift, Li Sanjian can still afford a change of clothes. However, firstly, because Li Sanjian is anxious to go to school, and secondly, he wants to save money as much as possible, so he ignores this matter...

"Without the etiquette, it is difficult to be a man, it is difficult to run a family, and it is difficult to establish a country... In this case, how can you come to study?" Mr. Huang kept talking endlessly, and it had already risen to the level of the country...

.

Li Sanjian was so ashamed and ashamed after being reprimanded that he could neither stand nor sit.

"Master..." Seeing Li Sanjian's embarrassment, Shan Kui on the side was furious. As long as Li Sanjian gave an order, Shan Kui would throw this man with a weak body and a sharp mouth into the river not far away...

Li Sanjian glanced at Shan Kui, raised his hands and said to Senior Huang: "The student realizes his mistake, but I would like to ask, is there any remedy?"

"Go back and learn the etiquette first before we talk." What Huang said was exactly the same as Su Shi's. After Huang said this, he walked away.

"Where did this young boy come from? You also want to study here?"

"It seems that he is from Li."

"Oh, that's it. How do Yi Di know etiquette?"

"What Xiongtai said is true. It's no wonder he has no clothes to cover his body and no food to eat. It is really difficult to practice etiquette in this way."

After Senior Huang left, all the people watching around him uttered mocking words, made fun of Li Sanjian in every possible way, and looked at Li Sanjian and others like monsters.

Shan Kui glared at these children, who ranged in age from ten to more than ten years old. Li Sanjian shook his head and was too lazy to argue with these children, but Li Sanjian couldn't argue with them either.

"Let's go!" Li Sanjian then ordered Shan Kui.

There is no place for the master here, but there is a place for the master. Li Sanjian secretly thought in his heart, only to get rid of the difficulties at home would the devil be willing to learn these useless things.

"Let's go, Douya, brother will take you to eat something good." Li Sanjian then said while holding Douya's little hand.

After traveling for several days, the three of them were very tired. They should find an inn or a private residence to have a good rest before making plans, Li Sanjian thought to himself.

........

"Yanzhou, why are you doing this? This man comes from a barbaric place like Danzhou. Judging from his dress, his family should be relatively poor. So, why do you need to be so harsh on him?" After Li Sanjian left, Lingshan County

The county school's edict, Zeng Biao, couldn't bear it, so he advised him.

Mr. Huang's surname was Huang Huan and his courtesy name was Yanzhou. When he was young, he was smart and eager to learn. He was proficient in hundreds of schools of classics and history. He was generous and honest. Huang Huan gained fame through the recommendation of his hometown. At this time, he was appointed as the county school chief of Zhilingshan County.

Huang Huan is a bit old-fashioned, so old-fashioned that he is almost rigid. He accepts death and cannot easily listen to the advice of others.

Sure enough, Huang Huan shook his head and said: "Ignorant of etiquette, for one thing, the main reason is that you didn't see that there were two servants, one big and one small, beside him? How can such a person read the books of sages? Poor? A poor family will

Are there any servants?"
