Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 858: :Lushan Academy
In the past in the Yu Mansion, Yu Youyao cared for Yu Shansi but was also distant from him. Unexpectedly, after leaving Jingzhao and getting along with Yu Shansi, the grudge between them disappeared.
She smiled and asked: "Have you had breakfast?"
Yu Shansi shook his head subconsciously: "My husband only allowed me half a day's leave, so..." He left for Yu Garden at Mao Shi.
"You can't skip a meal in the morning. You should pay more attention in the future and don't strain your body." Yu Youyao looked at Yu Shansi and explained in a gentle voice. After finishing speaking, she told Chunxiao: "Go and take a look at the small kitchen. But If you have anything to eat, bring some over."
Xia Tao bowed and stepped back.
There were only two siblings left in the flower hall. Yu Shansi quickly asked: "Is the eldest sister feeling better?"
Yu Youyao nodded: "It's getting better now. If you take care of it more in the future, it will be fine." At this point, she changed the subject: "You have been in the north for so long, but you still get used to it?"
Yu Shansi also nodded: "The northern border is very good, and Prince Wumu's Palace also takes good care of me. I am now studying at Lushan Academy and living in the school building."
Then he talked endlessly about many things in the academy.
No servants are allowed in the academy, and the students have to do their daily lives by themselves. Mr. Xianyun and Mr. Hushan only have half an hour of class every day, teaching casually, teaching whatever comes to mind, and being rigid. As for the form, how much you can learn is entirely up to you.
The academy does not set exams and does not compare knowledge, but every month, the teacher will take the students to travel for ten days, or to famous mountains and rivers, or farmyards, or farming mulberry trees, etc., and then he will ask Every student has to hand in a piece of homework, including articles, paintings, music, calligraphy, etc.
In the academy, not only Confucian classics are taught, including but not limited to "Four Books and Five Classics", "Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Rules", etc., they also teach Taoism, Buddhism, etc.
Teaching creates a career, but not teaching.
The academy is divided into the East Campus and the West Campus. The East Campus teaches knowledge, but does not compare with knowledge.
The Western School teaches military strategy and martial arts.
It can be said that he is both civil and military.
Yu Youyao was thoughtful. Mr. Xianyun and Mr. Hushan opened academies in the north, which was originally instigated by Yin Huaixi.
When talking about teaching, Yin Huaixi was the first to say: "The teaching content includes the Four Books and Five Classics and the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, but it is not limited to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."
There are two requirements for the eight-part essay. The questions must come from the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics". The answers to the questions must also come from Zhu Xi's "Annotations to the Four Books" and "Three Outlines and Five Constant Rules". Making arguments based on the questions limits the freedom of the candidates. analysis.
The questions are posed within a certain range, and the answers are also within a certain range, which confines the candidates' thoughts. Therefore, in order to take the exam, the candidates can only read the "Four Books and Five Classics" and the "Three Outlines and Five Constant Rules".
Study to death, study to death.
The purpose of the imperial examination is to select outstanding talents in all aspects, not mediocre people who take exams just for the sake of exams.
Eight-legged foolishness.
Culture can enrich a person's vision, knowledge and mind.
Throughout the past dynasties, the prosperity of culture also represents the prosperity of a dynasty.
Unexpectedly, in just three or four months, the academy was already running smoothly. Yu Youyao curled her lips: "Can you still keep up with your studies?"
Yu Shansi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have a good foundation. In addition, Mr. Hushan cares about his relationship with the Yu family and gives me a lot of advice, so I can keep up."
However, after all, they are not as quick thinking as their elder brother.
After entering Lushan Academy, he learned that Mr. Xianyun and Mr. Hushan were famous. Students from all over the country came to study, and it was difficult to find a place in the academy.
Although his basic skills are good, compared to other students in the academy, he is still a bit mediocre. He is able to study in the academy only because of his eldest sister.
Thinking back to the time when he was at home, every time the third sister asked about his schoolwork, she always encouraged him, but her eyes showed disappointment.
I think my eldest sister will be very disappointed!
Yu Youyao smiled again: "Didn't I give you a set of annotations earlier? There are great truths in them. You should study more and verify each other with your studies. I think you will gain something in the future."
The annotations were written for her by Yin Huaixi in the past, including the "Four Books and Five Classics", "Tiangong Kaiwu", and history books, totaling more than a dozen books.
Because everyone in her family liked it, she had several copies copied and given to her brothers and sisters at home.
Yu Youyao paused and said: "I sent you to Wushan College because Mr. Xianyun and Mr. Hushan have great principles. It would be good to learn some principles from them to open your horizons and increase your knowledge. Yes, your studies are your own. If you feel you have benefited from it, you have learned it.”
Listening to her sincere words and her tone of voice that couldn't be more ordinary, Yu Shansi finally let go of his half-suspended heart: "Shansi, I have learned a lesson."
Yu Youyao took the exam again. The questions she set were not too difficult, but they were often tricky. She needed to apply what she had learned, integrate them, and be flexible in order to answer them.
Yu Shansi's answers are not fluent, but they are still remarkable. This shows that the foundation is indeed solid.
Yu Youyao was quite satisfied and smiled unconsciously.
This also made Yu Shansi feel relieved.
Next, the two chatted about their current situation.
Yu Youyao talked about his experiences along the way from Quanzhou to Xiangping City.
Yu Shansi also mentioned that earlier, the Master took his students to the countryside to work with plows, to watch sweet potato seedlings, to see tussah eggs, and other trivial matters.
After that, Yu Shansi couldn't help but ask: "Sister, I don't know." He squeaked, lowered his head uneasily, and even lowered his voice: "How is Jingli?"
Yu Youyao put down the tea cup and said without hesitation: "Beijing is still the same as before, and the Yu Mansion is fine. Earlier, news came from the clan that Yu Zongzheng had straightened Aunt Jiang, and the third sister was the grandmother in the clan nunnery. Pray for blessings, her father takes good care of her and often sends some valuable medicinal materials and supplements to replenish her health."
She doesn’t do anything wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. She feels she is worthy of anyone in the Yu family, so she can naturally mention it calmly.
Grandma did not deliberately hide anything that happened in the house from Yu Shansi. Yu Shansi had also reached the age where he could distinguish right from wrong, so she would not bother to explain anything.
She only does what an eldest daughter, a woman from a wealthy family ~IndoMTL.com~ and an eldest sister should do.
Just right.
No more, no less.
Have a clear conscience.
That's all.
The grudge between her, Yu Jianjia, and Yang Shuwan has nothing to do with Yu Shansi, and she will not vent her anger on Yu Shansi. What Yu Shansi thinks in his heart is not part of her plan, and she will not care.
Bringing Yu Shansi to the north was of course "empathetic" and I couldn't bear to see Yu Shansi's life ruined at such a young age, but more importantly, it was to communicate the ongoing relationship between her and the Yu family and to express it to the Yu family. Although she has returned to her mother's clan, she still cares about the Yu family.
In this way, the relationship with the clan can be fulfilled, and outsiders will not make any assumptions.
Some people may find it inhumane.
