Chapter 10: Read carefully and learn well!
Ouyang Ye was listening by the window, his eyebrows frowning and raising from time to time, he was very busy.
These guys in Class D were actually taking turns to go on stage, each explaining one passage to the others?
"Dean Ouyang, our academy has always been taught by teachers. They are a bunch of people in the T-class, stupid and dull, they can't even recite the Analects, how can they understand it?
If we teach each other, won't we just go further and further away and mislead the students?"
"Exactly. Listening to the questions they asked, I have no idea where they learned these heretical theories!"
Zhao Wenyuan and Xue Mei plucked up their courage and went up to Ouyang Ye to fan the flames.
Zhu Qingyan stood behind the two of them without saying a word, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Ouyang Ye's eyes darkened slightly.
Although the content of these students' lectures was not very rigorous, their ideas were fluent and penetrating. They asked questions at any time during the lectures, and some of the questions were so tricky that even they had to think about them themselves.
Is this stupid and dull?
Is this called heresy?
The noise outside finally reached the study. The door was opened, and Zhu Lan and others walked out. They bowed to Ouyang Ye when they saw him.
Ouyang Ye remained calm and asked them what they were doing.
Zhu Lan replied respectfully:
"The students knew they were dull and needed to work harder, so they were assigned tasks. Each person would study an article every day by consulting books or asking teachers, and then take turns to give lectures."
The reason for adopting this approach is that Zhu Lan discovered that the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics in this era were different from those in modern times.
After all, in every dynasty, the first thing the rulers did when they came to power was to revise books and make annotations, so that the scholars of the world could unify their thoughts in the way required by the court, which led to the emergence of a variety of schools of thought.
If they want to pass the exams of this era, they must abandon what they have learned in modern times and understand the article in a new way.
Taking turns to teach can greatly improve efficiency.
Zhao Wenyuan laughed out loud: "You know you are dull, but you still have the nerve to go on stage and give a lecture? Don't embarrass yourself."
Ouyang Ye's eyes fell on her, his tone calm:
"You claim to be better than them?"
Zhao Wenyuan's heart trembled, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was definitely better than those idiots in Class D!
She didn't say anything, but raised her head slightly, like a proud little peacock.
"Well, you can talk about the article "Yong Ye" here for everyone."
"Yong Ye" is also a basic chapter. She is a student in Class C, so it is impossible that she has not learned it.
Zhao Wenyuan was stunned. "Here?"
She looked around and saw at least twenty or thirty people around her, all looking at her.
"Stand on the stage." Ouyang Ye's tone was not joking.
Zhao Wenyuan didn't dare to disobey, so she had to stand on the steps outside the T-shaped class. Dozens of eyes with different expressions were focused on her, and a sense of fear suddenly enveloped her whole body.
It was her first time to stand on the stage and express her opinions in front of so many people.
"This, this article..." She opened her mouth and suddenly her mind went blank.
Some people in the audience were already laughing, and Zhao Wenyuan's heart was pounding.
Cold sweat broke out on my head and I was so nervous that even my fingertips were shaking.
Ouyang Ye asked her to go down.
Zhao Wenyuan felt as if he had been pardoned, and he dragged his weak legs back into the crowd.
Ouyang Ye glanced at everyone, and the students lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze.
Don't click on me, you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me.
Seeing their appearance, Ouyang Ye sneered and said sarcastically:
"Our Longchang Academy is a place that nurtures talents for Daliang. You are so timid, do you have any character of a scholar?
If you pass the imperial examination and enter the government in the future, you will not even dare to express your own ideas in the court. How can you speak out and make suggestions? How can you talk about stabilizing the country! ?
I am afraid that they will all become those people who go with the flow and seek profit, bringing disgrace to Longchang Academy!"
Ouyang Ye looked at Zhu Lan:
"You gave a good talk on 'Li Ren' just now, and you also gave many new ideas. Would you like to go on stage and give another talk?"
Zhu Lan was startled: "But the student just said..."
"What I said is, go to Wulei Pavilion and talk about it."
As soon as these words came out, all the students around were shocked.
"Wu Lei Pavilion? That place is only open on important festivals or when the headmaster is giving lectures in person!"
"She is in the T-class and even has to sit outside when she goes to the Wulei Pavilion to attend classes. Why should she be allowed to go up to teach?"
"Well, who can she tell?"
"The abbot must be joking!"
Amidst the doubts, Zhu Lan smiled calmly and nodded in agreement.
The podium? That's her home turf!
Ouyang Ye nodded approvingly, and glanced at Zhao Wenyuan intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say, look at him.
Zhao Wenyuan lowered his head with hatred and unwillingness, and clenched his hands into fists.
"Li Ren is also a passage that Class C is studying. Three days later, everyone in Class C will go to Wu Lei Pavilion to listen to the lecture.
When the dean comes back, I will discuss with him to develop the system of students giving lectures to save you from embarrassment when you enter officialdom in the future.
If you can't speak, move your stool and watch how others speak, and learn from them!"
As soon as Ouyang Ye left, the surrounding area suddenly exploded.
"We are expected to learn from these idiots? This is a complete humiliation!!"
"Is she qualified to give us a lecture?"
"Is Ouyang Jiabei losing his mind?"
Everyone in Class T looked at them, too lazy to explain. With a sneer on their face, they slammed the door and continued their lecture.
Xiang Wenyuan was dumbfounded and asked the younger brother beside him:
"Am I seeing things right? The look in the eyes of these idiots just now, are they looking down on us...?"
-
Zhao Wenyuan returned to the study, threw his things on the shop, and said angrily:
"Is Ouyang Ye crazy? How can he let Zhu Lan give us a lecture!?"
Xue Mei quickly held her back and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't let Xu Shejian hear it and spread it out."
"She wouldn't dare to do that after taking so much money from me..." Zhao Wenyuan realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut up, looking at Xue Mei and Zhu Qingyan guiltily.
Xue Mei raised her eyebrows. So you also gave money.
The story of Zhu Qingyan being admitted to Class 2, C, when he first entered Longchang Academy had already spread, and many parents asked their children to secretly give money to the dormitory supervisor so that they could live with Zhu Qingyan.
After all, this girl is likely to be very successful in the future.
At this time, the door of the study was pushed open again, and another girl who lived with the room, Jiang Xueer, walked in.
She lives up to her name, with skin as white as snow and a cold and aloof look.
Zhao Wenyuan and the others stopped talking and watched Jiang Xueer take out two books from her own cabinet and leave without saying a word.
It wasn't until Jiang Xueer left that Zhao Wenyuan rolled his eyes:
"Look at how energetic she is all day, I really don't know what she has to be proud of."
Xue Mei said, "I heard that her mother was a concubine, and later on Master Jiang made her his concubine."
Zhao Wenyuan sneered, "You thought it was a glorious thing to favor your concubine and kill your wife? In the end, you are just a lowly concubine!"
The corners of Zhu Qingyan's lips, which were originally raised, stiffened slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhao Wenyuan.
She calmly changed the subject and mentioned that Zhu Lan would be giving a lecture in three days.
"You have had many disputes with her bookstore. I think she did this today on purpose to embarrass you. Who knows how she will make things difficult for you during this lecture! I am really worried about you."
Zhao Wenyuan's face suddenly darkened. "If she insists on going against me, then she won't have an easy life!"
"Since she is going to give a lecture, she should have a lot of things to prepare these days. Wen Yuan, don't you have a good relationship with Xu, the warden?"
"you mean……"
Zhu Qingyan covered his mouth, indicating that he didn't mean anything, he just suggested that she go to Xu Shejian to inquire about Zhu Lan's progress in lesson preparation and make some preparations in advance.
Zhao Wenyuan didn't say anything, but seemed to be thinking about something, with a kind of excitement of doing something bad gradually rising in his eyes.
