(I got up late today, sorry...)

The ice and snow melt and the spring water flows, and the swallows fly over the February willow;

The earth thawed and rejuvenated. The farmers were busy running between the fields and ridges, and began to work hard for the harvest of the year.

At the east gate of Jiangzhou City, there were endless crowds of people coming in and out, carrying loads, pushing cars, and riding on horses. They glanced at them and saw different identities and knowing the rich and poor.

Chen Jianchen and Wang Fu came in a car. As scholars, they had fame and fortune. Generally, they did not need to be inspected when entering and leaving the city gate, and could enter and exit directly.

——Wang Fu was seriously ill after being in a peach blossom incident. After nearly half a month of raising his energy, he gradually recovered. However, the thing below seemed to shrink and was in tears. He didn't dare to speak out, so he could only hide in the study to read the books of sages. Whenever he saw the resentful eyes of his wives and concubines, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and was frightened.

That almost crazy night left too deep shadows in Wang Fu's heart. Whenever he thought of it, his hair could not help but stand up, and his three legs would naturally tremble.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, Wang Fu came to Chen's house with many gifts in small bags to pay New Year's greetings. He pulled Chen Jianchen to tell the story in his study for nearly an hour, which made Chen Jianchen quite impatient.

After finally waiting for Wang Fu to finish his own affairs, he began to promote his sister Miss Wang Er. Chen Jianchen said without hesitation: "Brother Futai, I am only focused on my studies and focus on my mind; in fact, I have already made a vow to not win the imperial examination or get married."

Seeing his firm attitude, Wang Fu could not - Chen Jianchen's recent performance gave him a profound and unfathomable feeling, as if he had changed his personal experience, and it was one thing to understand that the face of peach blossoms was one thing, and one pen was another thing to deal with the evil wolf.

Chen Jianchen had already thought of a countermeasure to his questions, saying that Taoist Master Qingyun taught a Taoist technique before, which happened to be useful.

So Wang Fu shouted again to ask Master Qingyun about his whereabouts and let him thank him in person.

——Following his appearance, I also want to learn a move and a half.

Chen Jianchen said: "The Taoist priest is a master from Laoshan. He travels around the world and is uncertain. Where can he find it?"

Wang Fu felt very regretful, but he remembered the word "Laoshan" in his heart. He thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely go up to learn from his master. Maybe he could also meet the fate of immortals, ascend in the daytime, and become a god...

Thinking of this, Wang Fu smiled and almost even saliva flowed out.

After the Chinese New Year, the college starts, and Wang Fu proposed to go to Jiangzhou with Chen Jianchen. There was a ride-hailing ride, but Chen Jianchen did not resist, so he packed his luggage, said goodbye to his mother and Abao, and began his journey to school.

When saying goodbye, Mo Sanniang was reluctant to leave and gave instructions, while Abao's eyes were red. When Chen Jianchen got on the carriage, he left far away. She chased after him for a while before stopping, waved his hand desperately to say goodbye, and tears fell like strings of pearls.

Chen Jianchen looked at him and felt sad.

Who can be ruthless if a person is not a plant or a tree? There are always some concerns that they will plant deep roots and stems inadvertently...

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would make a foundation in Jiangzhou City as soon as possible, and then take his mother and Abao into the city to settle. Anyway, his family was in Jingyang Village without any land.

When he entered Jiangzhou City, Chen Jianchen's eyes flashed and he looked around. He had also entered Jiangzhou once or twice, but he was just a quick look and had no clear understanding of this city, one of the eighteen states of the Heavenly Dynasty. However, since he was studying in the city, he would not be able to not understand it.

In the Tiantong Dynasty, there were eighteen prefectures, and Jiangzhou was one of them. There were nine counties under its jurisdiction, totaling 136 towns. Since Zhengming Township, which belongs to Jingyang Village, is near Jiangzhou City, does not belong to any county, but is directly under Jiangzhou Urban Management.

The city walls of Jiangzhou City are vast, with vast land, and scattered streets inside, which are very prosperous. However, the two major official schools in Jiangzhou, Minghua Academy and Qingxue Academy, are only at the downstream level among the official schools of the Tiantong Dynasty, and are not well-known. Compared with the several prominent official schools in the south, it is not as good as those in the south, let alone the Imperial College in the capital.

The biggest difference between Minghua Academy and Qingxue Academy is that boys are studying at Minghua Academy, while women are studying at Qingxue Academy.

——In the Tiantong Dynasty, women can also study and study, but they cannot participate in the imperial examinations and become officials.

For this reason, women's reading content is mostly about learning calligraphy, etiquette and morality, poetry, songs, etc., and basically does not involve the eight-legged literary art.

Although women can also go to school, it is impossible for poor families to send their daughters to private schools. Most of them are raised until they are six or seven years old and need to drive pigs and herd cattle to help with family affairs.

Not to mention women, even men, if they are not well-off, they can’t afford to go to school. From this we can see that over the years, Mo Sanniang has suffered a lot of hardships and fatigue to support Chen Jianchen in school.

A wealthy and well-informed family can directly allow their children to study in the county's official schools, while ordinary people can only study in private schools in the countryside. The environments of the two are completely different and the educational levels are also very different.

Therefore, the chance of getting a scholar's fame in formal official schools is much greater than that in rural private schools.

Minghua Academy is the largest official school in Jiangzhou. It is divided into the upper and lower courts. Those who study in the lower courts are all boys; only those who pass the scholar’s ​​fame can enter the upper court.

Chen Jianchen first in the third exam in the Boy Examination and passed the scholarship in one fell swoop, so he was registered as a student in the Minghua Academy. He had free food, drink and accommodation in the college, and he also had ten cents of pocket money every month. In other words, he was a public student. If he performed well during his studies, he would also get a scholarship.

From this perspective, studying is not a bad thing.

It is bad. Even if you are a student of the statutory school or a public student, you still have to abide by the various rules and regulations of the academy. It is said that there are 386 rules for the Minghua Academy, which are neatly carved on a huge stone tablet located at the gate. When you look up, you will see that it is "not accurate", "not accurate", "not accurate"... When you look down, you will see that it is "must", "must", "must"...

This stone tablet is called the "Holy Law Monument", which has an inviolable majesty.

——In any official school, such a holy law monument will be erected at the door, so that students can see it all the time when entering and leaving, and remind themselves of their words and deeds, and do things according to the saint's "Book of Listorals". They should not step beyond the line.

Chen Jianchen turned over the Book of Rites and knew that there were tens of thousands of etiquettes and the strict regulations on which people with their identities had to do whatever they had to do and when they had to do what they had to do. In detail, even the steps to facilitate the use of the toilet were given special attention.

It makes people feel dizzy and headache when they see it.

Chen Jianchen is a little dazzled now.

His eyes had already seen the straight, solemn and tall Holy Law Monument...
