Chapter 336 Student Thorn

In the past, it was dirty enough to boast, but now there is no limit to debauchery; the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

When Zhu Ping left the Hou's mansion, he saw Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, who were as proud as they were described in the poem. Generally unreasonable won the Huiyuan, but it was also on the list of both high schools. Wang Shizhen's high school was ranked 82nd, and Zhang Siwei was slightly inferior to the 93rd high school, both of which were in the top 100.

"Zihou, you can be regarded as coming out." After Zhu Pingan came out, the two walked forward with a smile.

"Brother Ziwei and Wen Sheng have been waiting for a long time. Today I am the host, and I have enough food and wine." Zhu Pingan apologized with a smile.

"We remember what you said. But today can't work, let's do it another day." Zhang Siwei clapped his hands and smiled, then shook his head again.

"Why? That's not your style. Last time you released the list, you seemed to be possessed by gluttons. You didn't show mercy. Mo Xiao Farm's wine is pure, and there are enough chickens and pigs to keep customers in good years. Today I brought enough wine. "Zhu Pingan smiled and tossed the fat duck money bag in his hand, showing that he had brought enough wine money.

"Zi Hou, do you really not know or pretend you don't know?" Wang Shizhen asked, rolling his eyes.

"What?" Zhu Ping'an looked bewildered.

"Zihou, I really don't know what to say about you. You are quick-witted and quick-witted, but you don't understand official rules." Wang Shizhen shook his head, and said what he wanted in the future, "I will pass the exam later, and I will take the exam. For example, I want to visit the teacher, and I didn’t see you looking for us a few days ago, but today we are looking for you to visit the teacher.”

"Although our students are scattered all over the world, some for hundreds of miles and some for thousands of miles, they speak different dialects and have different names, but once we pass the imperial examination, our chief examiner will be our seat." The same examiner is our room teacher; the students in the same list, we call each other the same year. The son of the same year, we call the nephew; the son of the teacher and the room teacher, we call the brother; Teachers and room teachers call us disciples; if students are also the chief examiners or fellow examiners, the admitted students are the grandchildren of the teacher and room teacher; the disciples call our teacher and room teacher Tai Teacher." Zhang Siwei Following Wang Shizhen's words, he explained to Zhu Ping'an.

Oh, it turned out to be the student thorn, so it was my own negligence. This set is like the sect in Xianxia novels.

Zhu Pingan only remembered the matter of the sect master after hearing the words. This is also well understood in modern times.

The Ming Dynasty was the most prosperous period of the imperial examination era in our country, and the relationship between the teacher and the disciples that resulted from the imperial examination thrived, intricate and intertwined. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. There were so many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, so tens of millions of people cross the single-plank bridge every year in the imperial examination, and the competition is very fierce. There are only so many places each year, and to a large extent, the seat teacher and room teacher have great discretion in who is admitted and who is not admitted. Therefore, the students who were lucky enough to pass the imperial examination will naturally be grateful to the tutor and the room teacher, so it is easy to understand that the examiner and the examiner are respectfully called "the teacher and the room teacher". The difference between a tutor and a room teacher is that they are the chief examiner or the same examiner. division.

According to the usual practice, after the announcement of the imperial examination results, the first thing the candidates on the list should do is to pay their respects to their tutors and house tutors to confirm the relationship between the next master and student. If you don't go, everyone will think it is impolite , and then will despise and reject. Respecting teachers is one of the most important ethics in feudal society.

"Oh, thank you brothers Ziwei and Wen Sheng for your reminders, Ping An almost missed a major event." Zhu Pingan acted as if suddenly realized, and cupped his hands like two people to thank.

In fact, Zhu Ping'an still has some disapproval of the rules of Zuo Shimen handed down from the Ming Dynasty. It's just an imperial examination, why make the relationship so complicated, I am an examinee, and I take the exam based on my own level; you are the examiner, and you preside over the exam under the order of the emperor, we are all impartial imperial examinations, How good it is to finish the exam, and you have to admit the next teacher and disciple because of an exam. Now it seems that it was your gift that I passed the exam. Although various factors such as luck and so on will interfere with the exam results in the imperial examination, if it is all fair imperial examinations, it is nothing. There is no such thing as your gift to me situation above. But it's good now, I don't know when I developed the habit, I have to pay homage to the teacher when I take the imperial examination, and recognize the relationship between the teacher and the teacher.

Think about it, Master Master, this is basically the sect in Xianxia novels. As a disciple, I cannot violate the name of my master. As a Master, you must take care of and protect me. If this continues, small groups will naturally form, and party struggles will grow from the relationship between teachers and students. Isn't that how the party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty came about.

That being said, this is already a common practice, and Zhu Ping'an is not pedantic. Although the teacher-student system has many disadvantages, there are also advantages to recognizing a teacher. As the saying goes, if there are people in the court who are good at doing things, the teacher will also guide, promote and protect the disciples. Especially this time, the teacher who will try himself and others is Xu Jie, Xu Jie is the fierce man who knocked Yan Song down, he has a thigh, why not hug him.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an went together with Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen to cast "student thorns" at the homes of the masters Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing, and "paid homage" and "Zhi Jian" Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing to confirm the relationship between the master and the disciples.

As for the examiners who are directly admitted, they are all different, and they will be opened after they jointly "visit" and "see" Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing.

Paying homage to the teacher, naturally you can't go empty-handed. Zhang Siwei led Zhu Ping'an and Wang Shizhen to a high-end ink studio, and selected high-quality ink as a gift to the master.

Ink is an important material for writing. The quality of ink not only affects the quality of your writing and painting, but also a good ink can make your masterpiece last forever without fading, so it is a very popular collection. Because pen, ink, paper and inkstone are the four treasures of the study, using ink as a gift is both high-grade and elegant, and it is the best gift for visiting teachers.

"This type of ink is called 'A Pool of Spring Green'. It is estimated that the ink maker prefers the phrase 'The wind blows and wrinkles a pool of spring water' in Feng Yansi, a poet of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in "Yi Jinmen", so he made this ink The ink is named Yichi Spring Green. This type of ink is the best type of ink among micro-inks, and it is the most famous in the ink world in Beijing. The characters written with this type of ink are extremely smooth, and the ink can run freely with a splash of ink, and it can penetrate the back of the paper It is said that if you are painting, the color of this ink can be preserved for thousands of years without fading. Ahem, it is a bit exaggerated. This ink has only been around for more than ten years, but the quality is nothing to say, the best in ink, there is no one. "

Zhang Siwei has a lot of research on ink. After looking at ink studio for a while, Zhang Siwei pointed to one of the inks and said to Zhu Pingan and Wang Shizhen.

Hearing what Zhang Siwei said so well, Zhu Pingan couldn't help holding the pool of spring green ink that Zhang Siwei pointed to in his hand, and looked at it carefully. This ink is round, with slightly convex carvings on both sides, and a line of script on the front. , engraved the four characters "a pool of spring green", the font is not bad. On the other side is a carved picture: the wind blows and wrinkles a pool of spring water, which is the sculpture of the breeze blowing the water. On the side of the round ink, the source of the ink "Shuiyun Juzhi" is engraved in regular script, which almost looks like our manufacturer. In addition to these four characters, there is also a four-character inscription "Xiaohua Yishi", which is probably the ink maker. unique imprint.

The store clerk carefully removed a large piece of the nail from the sample, put it in the inkstone, and then took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Zhu Pingan to test the ink.

The color of the ink is like fine wine, and the fragrance of the ink is overflowing, making people eager to try it. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of trying the pen, Zhu Pingan smiled and took a step forward, took the brush and dipped it in the ink, and wrote "ink" one by one. Words, the writing is smoother than before.

"Zi Hou, good calligraphy!" Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were full of praise for Zhu Ping'an's calligraphy.

"I like you to tell the truth." Zhu Pingan put down his brush and smiled.

Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen couldn't help shaking their heads, pointing at Zhu Ping'an and laughing when they heard the words.

After laughing, the three of them each bought a few pieces of "One Pond of Spring Green" at Ink Studio, and the store clerk wrapped them in gift boxes. After paying the money, they carried the gift boxes and headed towards Xu Jie's mansion.
