It is the basis for aristocratic families to be able to become officials and monopolize knowledge channels. Strict education methods are also indispensable. The larger the aristocratic family, the more stringent the education of their children. In this environment, the talents sent to the court are basically

He is excellent in knowledge and etiquette.

When it comes to cultivating children, the family has very mature methods that have been summarized from generation to generation.

The scholar family handed down the "Zhou Rites" to the world, so it is understandable that the "Zhou Rites" is the enlightenment work for the scholars' children. However, in addition to the "Zhou Rites", other conventional Confucian classics, such as "Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Zhuan", "Yi Zhuan"

There are readings for "Classics", "Great Learning", etc., but most of these readings are based on their own annotations.

All major aristocratic families have the basic Confucian classics, but the works handed down by each family are not the same. The difference lies in the annotations.

The Shijia's "Zhouli" annotations are widely recognized by the world, so the Shijia's "Zhouli" is orthodox, and the world is proud to learn the Shijia's "Zhouli" annotations.

Similarly, Yuan's annotations on Meng's Yi are regarded as orthodox, so Yuan's Meng's Yi is a work handed down from generation to generation. When thinking of Yuan, one will think of Yuan's family biography "Meng's Yi", and think of Yuan's "Meng's Yi".

He used "Mencius' Yi" as a step for promotion. He has four generations and three princes, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world.

Therefore, when children from aristocratic families become disciples of other families, what they worship is the master’s annotations of family history and the master’s connections and reputation.

However, even if you become a disciple, you cannot just teach others what you have learned.

For example, if you study "Mencius' Book of Changes" under the guidance of a great Confucian of the Yuan family, except for your own son, you cannot pass it on to other members of the family or your own disciples, unless you obtain the consent of the teacher.

This is what I cherish. Otherwise, if it is passed down to ten people, it will be passed down to hundreds of people, and the family heirlooms and founding scriptures will be worthless.

Similarly, as the sons of Shi Xie, they can learn Liu Tao's "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu", but only a few of Shi Xie's own sons can learn it. If others learn it, it cannot be used as a step for their own promotion, and they will not be

Accept that if you learn from others secretly, you will not be regarded as orthodox, and you will be held accountable for stealing from others.

This is a rule. Cheating is not allowed. It is an unspoken rule. Everyone is abiding by it. If you don’t abide by it, no one will let you play. How can you be an official?

The Han Dynasty advocated Confucianism, and there were thirteen world-famous Confucian classics in total, including the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Rites of Zhou, the Rites, the Book of Rites, the Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan, and the Chun Qiu Gong Yang Zhuan.

” "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Guliang", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and "Erya".

Speaking of which, Shiqian and Shikun have already finished studying the "Book of Rites of Zhou", a family tradition, and are now studying other Confucian classics.

Shi Qian is studying the Book of Filial Piety, and Shi Kun is studying the Book of Documents. After Zhinu has studied the Rites of Zhou, he must also study the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, Mencius, and the Spring and Autumn Annals in turn.

"Zuo Zhuan" and other twelve classics. When he finishes studying them all, he is almost fifteen or sixteen years old. In theory, he can go out to study, visit famous teachers, and continue to study.

Zhinu's father, Shi Xie, followed this path. At the age of fifteen, he had memorized thirteen Confucian classics and went to Yingchuan to study. He was favored by the great Confucian Liu Tao and further studied "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu". Various schools The same goes for disciples. Being a disciple of a great Confucian can not only spread one's fame, but also accumulate a lot of connections.

A few decades later, Zhuge Kongming worshiped Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. Sima Hui and his classmates helped him advocate, and he was given the title of "Wolong", which attracted Liu Bei's attention.

Having said that, these are still far away for the young slave. When he needs to be exposed to these things, at least fifteen or sixteen years old, he can plan the route of becoming a disciple and becoming an official.

After Shici took a look at Shiqian and Shikun's lessons, he nodded and affirmed their efforts in the past two days. Then it was Zhinu.

Zhinu recited the opening chapter of "The Rites of Zhou" and then explained his understanding as he did yesterday.

Although Shici didn't show much on the surface, he was still in a state of turmoil in his heart. This son was extremely talented. Like his father, he was equally familiar with learning and could learn many things without a teacher. As expected, like his father, he must be like him. Children can be cultivated with all their heart and soul.

From then on, Zhinu's being given by Shishi set the tone, and his studies must be stricter to be worthy of Zhinu's talent.

A month later, it was late summer and the weather was getting cooler.

This month, after that day's education, the young slave got up before dawn, went out as soon as the rooster crowed, and tried his best to enter the classroom as early as possible to prevent his two brothers from being punished for him again.

Shici, on the other hand, went from coming to the classroom once every two days to now coming every day. He also unilaterally announced that he would not get off from school until the end of the hour every day, which directly extended the study time by an hour.

Fortunately, there is still time to rest. For every six days of study, you can take one day off.

After a month of study, under the pity eyes of Shiqian and Shikun, I have memorized more than half of "Zhou Rites". I have finished memorizing "Zhou Rites", and then there are ten volumes of family biography annotations of "Zhou Rites", This is the essence of the scholar family and needs to be memorized.

At first, he didn't understand why Shiqian and Shikun pitied Zhinu. After a casual chat, he found out that his study weight was three or four times that of when Shiqian and Shikun entered school.

Zhinu was unable to refute, so what else could he do? He tried, but if he didn't finish his homework the next day, he would be punished by standing in the scorching sun and studying all morning.

However, it is not difficult to just memorize and recite simple annotations, so let’s do this for now.

Today, more than a month later, happens to be the last day of every six days of study. The three of them were sorting things and chatting.

"Azhi, tomorrow my mother will take me and I to visit my father in the county town. Because my father has just taken office and is busy with official duties, he has not been home for half a month. Are you going?"

After hearing this, the child slave was also a little moved. Everyone likes to be lively. Everything is fine in the ancestral home of the Shi family, but there are many rules, and liveliness is not allowed.

"I'll talk to Eminem, and Eminem agreed. I'll tell you after dinner."

After dinner in the evening, Zhinu asked his mother about the appointment with his two brothers to go to the county town. Of course Liu Wen would not say anything.

The next day, since there was no need to enroll in school today, the three of them took a good nap and got up after three o'clock in the morning and headed to the county town together.

There was a carriage and four guards, and the guards also rode horses.

In Guangxin, only Shijia has this specification.

The driver was Gouzi, who finally changed out of his shabby burlap clothes into soft linen clothes.

The difference between coarse linen clothes and soft linen clothes is that soft linen is kneaded and processed on the basis of coarse linen. In terms of comfort and price, it is a grade higher than coarse linen. Normally, people just wear it during the New Year or to welcome a bride or get married.

Only then can you put it on.

It seems that Gouzi's monthly salary has been increased recently, otherwise he would not be able to afford this outfit.

The group of people arrived at the Yamen first, and after asking the servants, they learned that Shi Yi's office was located in the side courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion.

After entering, they unfortunately didn't see Shi Yi and were told to discuss important matters with the county governor in the study, so the four of them waited in the study in the side courtyard.

At first, several people were waiting patiently in the study, but after waiting for half an hour, Shi Yi still hadn't arrived, so Yan and her two brothers went to wait under the dean's pavilion.

Zhinu didn't want to go out. Firstly, he was in pain from being bumped all over while riding in the carriage, so he didn't want to move around. Secondly, it was late summer and it was still very hot outside. He was afraid of the heat and didn't want to go out.

In this way, only Zhinu is left in the study room.

He originally wanted to take a nap, but the seats in the study were hard and not very comfortable.

My back hurt after sitting for a long time, so I got up and walked around. Unknowingly, I arrived in front of Shi Yi's office desk. There was a bamboo slip on it, which was a volume of files.

"Huang Zhong, courtesy name Hansheng, was born in Nanyang, Jingnan. On July 20th, the fourth year of Jianning, there was a fight in Guangxindong City. He publicly beat to death Chen's servants, one domestic slave, and injured two others..."

I didn’t realize it at first, but suddenly I felt that the name was very familiar.
