Compared with the science and language learning of later generations, ancient learning is more about shaping people themselves and acquiring wisdom. This kind of learning may become somewhat incomplete because of the loss of science, but it is of great significance to human growth.

Useful.

Li Yi got up early and went to bed late. After studying the Four Books and Five Classics, Mr. Wang personally explained it. He finished the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius and the Great Learning in twenty days. It can be said that it took other people half a year to complete the task in twenty days.

The completed character is indeed due to Li Yi’s strong memory and good understanding ability, but it also has a lot to do with Mr. Wang’s teaching.

Although Li Yi could not become a master of learning in twenty days, his current talents and learnings are completely different from before.

Of course, I have studied the third part of the Four Books, and I have not yet delved into the Five Classics in depth. This will still take time, but the county examination is approaching, so I can only wait until after the county examination before continuing.

On this day, Li Yi was going to Baoding County Government to collect the floating ticket, which was the voucher for taking the county examination.

When he and the Anxin villagers were naturalized, they all had household registrations in Baoding City, so the county examination had to be taken in Baoding.

This news is good, because Wang Zhixian has hinted to himself before that the county examination will give him some opportunities. Of course, this also requires him to have some real talent, otherwise it will be difficult for Wang Zhixian to stop others.

Accompanied by Sun Ce and Li Yi, they entered Baoding City. At the entrance, they saw an announcement from the county government. Time was running out for the county examination, with more than ten days left.

At that time, the situation of the county examination will be that Wang Zhixian will preside over it, and the county school will supervise the examination. The examination will be held in the examination booth next to the county school palace.

The conditions of the county examination place are not very good. It is just a simple examination booth with tables and papers for the candidates to answer. If it is sunny, it is fine, but when it rains, the conditions are even worse. If it is not good, it will be affected by the rain.

If the test questions are soaked, you will have no chance of passing the exam.

You also need to register for the county examination. You need to register at the county office ceremony room, write down your resume for three generations, and ask for a guarantor.

The guarantors are usually people with scholarly reputations. It costs some money to ask these people to be guarantors, and the cost is not small. Therefore, those who become scholars are generally not too poor. I pity those old people who have wasted their whole lives and are still passing the boy examination.

Scholars, just for this amount of money, they need to sell everything.

Li Yi naturally did not need to spend any money, and before he could find a guarantor, Sun Zhen had already asked his fourth brother to act as a guarantor together with Li Yi. His brother was a graduate of the government school, so he could be the guarantor.

And it's a bit more glamorous than finding an ordinary scholar.

Anyway, Sun Cerium has to be a guarantee for the college examination this year, and Li Yi is Mr. Sun's disciple, so there is no problem with this.

At that moment, Li Yi and Sun Zhen entered Baoding City and arrived at the Yaqian Street of the county government. There were already many scholars from various villages and towns preparing to register for the county government office.

Baoding Prefecture is located in the Gyeonggi region. Its geographical location is very important, so it is relatively wealthy and has many scholars. It is estimated that there are seven or eight hundred people in it, but I don’t know how many people there are truly talented and learned, and how many people are just here to join in the fun.

.

Li Yi and Sun Cerium first went to the teahouse next door and met Sun Cerium's fourth brother, Sun Yi.

Sun Yi had been sitting inside for a long time. When he saw Sun Ce coming in with Li Yi, he couldn't help but frowned. Although it disappeared in a flash, Li Yi could still see it clearly.

Sun Yi was also present when he became his disciple before, so they were still brothers and sisters, not outsiders.

Li Yi bowed his hands and saluted, and then sat down with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Fourth brother, have you prepared the guarantee letter? We won't cause trouble in a while."

Sun Yi looked at his sixth brother, who was also meticulous, and said: "It's ready, don't worry."

After a few words of greetings, Sun Yi looked at Li Yi and said seriously: "Zizheng, you have only been studying in the school for a few months, and your previous skills were not deep. How can you be sure of this county examination? If you don't get anything out of it,

Come on, I think you should not be anxious, study hard and try again next time?"

Li Yi was slightly startled. He could tell that Sun Yi's words were a bit unshakable, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Before he could speak, Sun Ce suddenly put down the tea bowl and said angrily to Sun Yi: "Fourth brother, what do you mean? Although Zizheng's time at school is still short, he has made rapid progress in his homework. Shibie San

Day, you should look at me with admiration, how can you despise Zizheng so much?"

When Sun Yi saw his sixth brother getting angry, he said with a straight face: "I'm not looking down upon him, but I'm trying to persuade him not to humiliate himself."

"Bringing humiliation to oneself?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Yi with an angry look on his face and said, "Fourth brother, you have to make it clear today, why did you humiliate yourself?"

Li Yi was also puzzled and looked at Sun Yi.

"Zizheng, I have heard about what you did in Gaoyang. I really didn't expect that you could do so many ridiculous things. It's really unbelievable." Sun Yi's tone was distant, obviously he didn't like it.

Li Yi, there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

As soon as Li Yi heard this, he understood that Sun Yi must have heard some news and his attitude towards him changed like this.

He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't have much contact with senior brother, so I don't know what kind of person he is for the time being. So why does senior brother act like he knows me very well?"

At that moment, Sun Yi was startled, and then he said: "I dare to ask Zizheng, have you ever contradicted your teacher or beaten your classmates in school?"

Li Yi immediately understood what was going on. He didn't explain it at the moment and said directly: "This is indeed true."

After hearing the answer, Sun Ce sneered twice and looked at Li Yi with disgust.

You must know that students respect their teachers the most. If you dare to contradict the teacher in the academy, this is a crime of great disrespect. And beating a classmate is even more vulgar. It is really a big mistake.

Sun Ce said with dismay at the side: "Fourth brother, don't make preconceptions. There are reasons for these things, and they are not Zizheng's fault."

Sun Yi said coldly: "There is no reason to disobey the teacher and do such a thing. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it is indeed the case. Zizheng, I thought you were wrong at the beginning.

I joined my father's family, you are gentle and sincere, I thought you were a polite and sensible person, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, it really disappoints me."

Li Yi looked at Sun Yi and said nothing. Only Sun Ce, with an angry look on his face, argued for him next to him.

The commotion attracted the attention of many guests. A waiter wanted to persuade him, but he stopped when he saw that the table was full of scholars.

"You have only been in school for a short period of time, and you must have not read many books if you are still acting like this in school, but you still have the nerve to take the county exam this year. Don't you know that if you can't even pass the county exam, your father will hide his face?"

Is it wrong? You have no knowledge and skills, and you are not afraid of hurting your teacher. How much more do you have to do before you give up?" Sun Yi's tone was extremely angry, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Li Yi.

anger.

Li Yi said: "Brother, I am already somewhat sure about the county examination. I will not let the teacher lose face. Don't worry."

"Are you sure?" Sun Yi smiled coldly and said, "I have heard about you. The county examination is approaching recently, but you have studied hard, but are you studying or taking advantage of loopholes? Our Sun clan is so good at studying.

In this environment, you don’t study hard, don’t think about how to solve questions, write articles, and seek ways to improve your studies. Instead, you focus on memorizing and copying texts in order to fail the questions in the exam. Such shameless behavior,

Do you have the nerve to say you are somewhat confident?"

Li Yi's face was a little angry and he didn't answer.

Seeing this, Sun Yi nodded and said: "In this case, I don't think I have wronged you. Some people say that you are preparing for the county examination. Instead of using your true talents to achieve success, you want to plagiarize the articles of your predecessors.

, to muddle through, this kind of behavior is really shameful. Although I come from a famous family, I have been studying poetry and books since I was a child, and then I became a scholar. I really disdain your behavior, if you hadn't been my junior brother

, I naturally don’t want to say a word to you. A gentleman follows the straight path. Even if he fails this year, the worst he can do is come back next year. Such crooked ways will count him as a success. How is he different from a villain?"
