Chapter 166 Skill Upgrade
"Students practice every day and dare not slack off." Isn't it true? I have a cheat, but others don't! Jiang Youzhen thought.
Master Jiang waved his hand and said, "I heard that the one who originally taught you was Master Tong? This man is very talented and well-known in the whole city. He will definitely pass the Tongsheng exam this time. I am optimistic about him.
It is your good fortune that you can be taught by him. If you enter the official career in the future, it will also be a connection. This is all a favor, and it is always closer than other people. You need to visit him more often in the future, and this kind of friendship cannot be indifferent. "
Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. He didn't expect that Tong Huaian would be so famous now? However, this Mr. Jiang was kind-hearted and really cared about his students.
In ancient times, it was very important for students to choose a teacher. Teaching and educating are both indispensable, and this person can be regarded as her true enlightenment teacher.
"Thank you for your advice, teacher! I will definitely keep it in mind."
"Hmm!" Master Jiang was very satisfied with Jiang Youzhen's attitude of respecting teachers and virtues, and at present, Jiang Youzhen seemed to be very smart. He always valued talents, so he liked her a little more.
"Since you have already studied the Analects, I will test you to see how you have progressed. Please recite one or two passages for me to hear."
"The Master said, 'To learn with a view to constantly practicing what one has learned, is that not a pleasure? '" Soon the room was filled with the sound of Jiang Youzhen's crisp recitation, which was particularly fluent. The more Master Jiang listened, the more satisfied he became.
After reciting two passages, Master Jiang asked again, "Have you ever studied the annotations?"
Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment, and in order to speed up her learning progress, she decided to reveal more!
"I asked Master Tong and got some basic information."
"Oh? Then let me test you. I examine myself three times a day: Am I disloyal when I work for others? Am I trustworthy when I interact with friends? Am I unpracticing what I have learned? What does this sentence mean?"
"Teacher, this sentence means that I should reflect on myself many times every day: Have I done my best when doing things for others? Have I been honest with my friends? Have I reviewed the knowledge taught by my teacher?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Master Jiang. She had learned all of this before, and she remembered that this was roughly the meaning.
Master Jiang nodded, "That's right! He is a filial and respectful person, but he committed a crime against his superiors..."
"Master, the meaning of this sentence is to be filial to parents and obedient to elder brothers..."
Mr. Jiang then asked a few more questions, and Jiang Youzhen answered them all fluently, which made him very happy.
No wonder Jiang Heng praised this kid so much, she really learned fast. She was smart and clever, not at all vulgar, but with a bit of literary elegance.
"Not bad, not bad, very good." Mr. Jiang used three "not bad" in a row to express his satisfaction.
"Since you have already learned the first two chapters and memorized the annotations, I will teach you the third chapter today. Let's go to the library. There are many of your fellow students there, and you can discuss knowledge with each other."
There was only one study room in Yunshang Private School, and because Master Jiang was the only teacher, all the students had to be arranged together.
When Jiang Youzhen followed Master Jiang in, he looked around and found that there were twenty or thirty classmates.
Everyone stopped reading and looked curiously at Jiang Youzhen behind Mr. Jiang.
"This is a new student named Jiang Youzhen. We will all be classmates in the future. We must support each other, take care of each other, and encourage each other."
"Yes! Master!" everyone said in unison.
"Jiang Youzhen greets all of you brothers and sisters. I will need your care in the future. If there is anything I don't understand, please feel free to enlighten me." Jiang Youzhen took a step forward. She still had to spend some time with these people, so naturally she had to be humble and polite.
Mr. Jiang stroked his goatee. He was very satisfied with Jiang Youzhen now. He was not only talented but also humble and polite.
Jiang Youzhen's memory has improved now, so memorizing is no problem at all. In addition, she already knows how to memorize the "Analects of Confucius", so she has no pressure at all when it comes to copying and annotating.
The classmates were of different ages, the youngest had just started learning, and the oldest was two years older than her and was planning to start next year.
Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and since everyone's learning progress is different, the teacher teaches them separately.
Jiang Youzhen observed that the two older brothers had almost finished learning. After the teacher checked and taught them once, it was Jiang Youzhen's turn.
"Now follow me and read the third chapter and its notes." Without saying a word, Mr. Jiang picked up the book and began to recite.
He read a sentence and Jiang Youzhen followed him.
emmmm reminded her of the fear of being dominated by the class monitor in studying when she was in elementary school.
This won't work! Master Jiang has to teach so many students every day, and their progress is different. How much time will it take? No wonder the ancients studied for more than ten years before they could finish their studies.
"Pa pa pa!" Suddenly, the crisp sound of a ruler hitting the desk was heard. Jiang Youzhen was startled and the study suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
"Jiang Youzhen, what's wrong with you? You're distracted right after class? Your clan leader sent you here with great expectations for you. Don't think that you don't need to work hard just because you have a little talent. You can't be reckless in studying, and you must guard against arrogance and impatience. Do you understand?"
Mr. Jiang frowned and looked irritated. He hated people who didn't pay attention in their studies, and Jiang Youzhen had touched his sore spot on the first day of class.
Jiang Jiawang, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but look at his uncle worriedly and sighed deeply.
Look! He said that the Master was always scary, but he had never been beaten by the Master!
Other students shrank their necks in fear, while others covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Master Jiang was notoriously strict, and they had all experienced the power of the ruler.
Jiang Youzhen quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! Master, I was distracted just now. I will definitely remember your instructions."
It was so scary. Actually, her eyes just wandered a little bit just now. She didn't expect to be caught. She quickly corrected her attitude.
"Hmph! Don't do that again! Did you remember all the passage you just read?"
When Master Jiang saw Jiang Youzhen admitting his mistake with a good attitude, his expression softened. He wanted to give him a few slaps on the palm of his hand as a warning, but then he remembered that Jiang Heng said that he had brought this kid here to study.
Don't let him get scared by being beaten and go home crying and refuse to come again, because that would be a sin for him.
Jiang Youzhen was a little confused. Why was the learning progress here different from what she imagined? They were asked to memorize after just reading it once? It seems that we should not underestimate the ancients.
"Master, I've got it down." Jiang Youzhen didn't dare to delay and started to recite immediately.
"Confucius said to Ji Shi: The Eight Yi Dance in the Courtyard, this is tolerable, what is not tolerable..."
Master Jiang was stunned when he saw Jiang Youzhen reciting fluently. This kid, he just asked Jiang Youzhen to read from the book once, but she could recite it?
Seeing Jiang Youzhen finished reciting, he smacked his lips. No! Maybe I have learned this part before? I must have learned it.
He coughed lightly, knowing not to praise him too much, otherwise this kid would definitely become arrogant.
