" White Lotus Descends to the World, Saving the People "
White Lotus Society?
What a coincidence, Zhao Jing thought.
To think that he would encounter the White Lotus Society, which opposed every dynasty.
Did this group of people appear here to develop disciples or do something else?
Zhao Jing remembered that during the Hongwu period, the White Lotus Society had planned many uprisings.
However, he didn't have much of an impression of the exact location.
Zhao Jing followed behind the crowd and walked over.
He saw a platform not far away from where everyone was surrounding.
There were some sacrificial items on the stage. One of them was a Daoist in a long robe who looked like a fairy. He was holding a peach wood sword and casting a spell in front of the stage.
By the time Zhao Jing and the others walked over, the Daoist had already finished casting his spell and was bowing to everyone.
Many people even chanted,"Bodhisattva, bless us and save us."
Third Uncle and the others also bowed. Then, they said to Zhao Jing,"Looks like it's about time."
"Don't delay Little Jing's time. Let's hurry up and set off.”
Zhao Jing looked at the Taoist and walked into the village surrounded by the crowd.
The village chief was respectful to him.
There were also many people who seemed to be in cahoots with him, following behind him.
It's quite a big show
Zhao Jing turned to Third Granduncle and said,"Yes, it's fine. It's not too late."?”
Everyone set off again.
The people in the two ox-carts were still enthusiastically discussing the matter of the oracle.
Before Zhao Jing could think too much, they arrived at the city.
There were many refugees in ragged clothes wandering outside the city.
They were not allowed to enter the city, so they could only build some tents outside the city and squeeze together.
Seeing this scene, everyone sighed.
"It seems that the levees in Huaibei must have burst.”
"Yeah, they probably destroyed quite a number of villages. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many refugees.”
"I don't know if the Divine Envoy has spoken to Bodhisattva today. I only hope that Bodhisattva can protect us.”
Zhao Jing listened and looked at the scene around him. He felt a little sorry for him.
However, natural and man-made disasters could only be dealt with by the government.
As an ordinary person, he could not change this situation.
After entering the city, Zhao Jing temporarily put these things to the back of his mind.
After bidding farewell to the crowd, Zhao Jing carried his bookcase and walked towards the Academy.
The sky was just slightly bright. The Academy held morning classes at the middle of the morning.
When Zhao Jing arrived at the county school, many students who lived in the county were also carrying bookcases or baskets toward the door.
When they arrived at the county school, they paid their respects to Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen nodded and said,""It's been raining these few days, so I guessed that you would come today.”
As he spoke, he handed a book to Zhao Jing.
"These are the four books that I marked when I was taking the examination for children. They contain my and my teacher's experiences.”
"You have a good memory. Quickly copy this book and return it to me.”
"This book must not be damaged or dirtied.”
"After memorizing it, if there's anything else you don't understand, I'll tell you in the future.”
Zhao Jing quickly took it with both hands and thanked Teacher Chen.
Master Chen waved his hand and asked Xiao Tong to bring him to the classroom.
There were more than twenty tables in the classroom, and many of them were occupied.
Xiao Tong pointed at some empty tables and asked Zhao Jing to sit down at any table.
Zhao Jing and Xiao Tong thanked him, walked to a table, and sat down.
He placed all the Four Treasures of the Study on the table and then opened the book that Teacher Chen had given him.
Other than the original text, there were also many words written in small print.
One of the colors was lighter. It seemed that Teacher Chen had copied his master's notes at the beginning.
The darker ones were the insights that Master Chen had added while studying the Four Books.
Zhao Jing read about two pages and felt that it was indeed very helpful to him.
Thanks to the ten years of education in his previous life, he had some understanding of the Four Books.
However, there were also many that looked unfamiliar and unknown.
Although he had a good memory, he could probably remember it after reading it once.
However, he could only remember the words on the surface. With the notes of this book, he could quickly understand and remember these words.
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Chen's favorite book? Why is it in your hands?"
"Are you going to take the children's exam next year?"
A person beside him saw that Zhao Jing was unfamiliar with him and that he was holding Master Chen's favorite book. He couldn't help but start a conversation with Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing raised his head and smiled at him.""I heard from Teacher that I should participate in the examination next year.”
"There are only a few months left. You've only started learning the Four Books now.”
Another young master dressed in luxurious clothes sized up Zhao Jing suspiciously.
Zhao Jing smiled and said,"Hard work makes up for your incompetence."”
"Although we don't have much time left, we should still try our best.”
The bystanders wanted to say something.
Zhao Wengao and his classmates who had gone to the restaurant to read the book that day walked in together.
His eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Jing.
"Brother!"
Zhao Wengao walked over happily.
"Why are you so late?" Zhao Jing nodded at him.”
Zhao Wengao laughed and said,"It's not time yet, but it's not too late. Hahaha."”
As he spoke, the bell rang.
Teacher Chen walked into the classroom and began to teach the students.
What surprised Zhao Jing was…
There were about twenty people in a classroom.
Many of them had different progress.
Most of them were like him, students who were preparing to take the entrance exam next year.
Some of them were preparing to take the exam for the first time, while others were taking the exam for the second or third time, or even several times.
There were also a few students sitting in the front.
They were all children and were preparing for the academy or capital examinations.
Everyone in the room was progressing at a different pace.
Teacher Chen taught with ease.
During this time, Teacher Chen had even pulled Zhao Jing up and made him read some notes from the book that he had given him in the morning.
Zhao Jing answered without exception.
The satisfaction in Teacher Chen's eyes was very obvious.
The students present couldn't help but size up Zhao Jing again.
He was wearing clothes made of decent fabric, but in the city, it was only the most common style.
How could Teacher Chen show such admiration for such a person?
The two-hour class ended very quickly.
After school, Zhao Wengao came to Zhao Jing with a book.
"Brother, this is your Ancient Mythology.”
He handed it over and said,"I didn't expect the manager of Zhuo Ying Pavilion to really know you."”
"When I mentioned your name, he invited me into the inner room and brought me the book I wanted.”
"He even asked me to ask you when you're going over again.”
Zhao Wengao's words made Zhao Jing smile.
He put the book away and said,""It's getting late. I have to go back first.”
"Brother, how tired are you running like this every day? Why don't we just stay in the Academy? We can still play together!”
Zhao Jing glanced at Zhao Wengao lightly.
Zhao Wengao quickly slapped his own mouth.
She was used to being talkative with her classmates and did not shut up for a moment.
"How's your preparation for next year's exam?" Zhao Jing asked.”
Zhao Wengao stammered,"I, I…"
"The Headmaster said that I'm still young and that I'll only be trying next year.”
"Even if it doesn't hit, just take it as accumulating experience.”
Zhao Jing smiled." Don't play too much," he said." Read more books when you have time."”
He picked up his bookcase and walked out of the Academy.
Some people in the classroom who hadn't left heard the conversation between the two brothers couldn't help but feel unfair for Zhao Wengao."Wengao, this brother of yours is already so old, but this is the first time he's taking part in the examination.”
"What right does he have to criticize you?"
"That's right. Teacher said that we should strike a balance between work and rest.”
"He's a newcomer, what right does he have to lecture you?”
When Zhao Wengao heard what the others said, he was a little unhappy.
He choked and said,"He's my brother. Shouldn't he teach me a lesson?"”
"And, and although it's his first time taking the test, he's very good at learning. He'll definitely pass next year!”
"He naturally has the right to criticize me."
"Oh? This brother of yours is so powerful?" Someone asked doubtfully.
Some people felt that Zhao Wengao was exaggerating and said disdainfully,"As expected of a farmer."
"Not only are you narrow-minded, but you also love to talk nonsense all day long.”
"Even our County Magistrate's Young Master Zhang, who has been studying for so long since he was a child, doesn't dare to say that he will definitely pass the examination next year.”
"Two farmers dare to say that you're not greedy.”
The group of people parted on bad terms.
Zhao Jing, who was already on the bullock-cart, knew nothing about this.
This time, he got on an ox cart that was on another fork not far from their village.
In the shed outside the city, there were already soldiers setting up stoves and giving out porridge.
It seemed that the county magistrate of this place was a good one.
On the way, Zhao Jing took out some of the dried food that the little girl had prepared for him.
After getting out of the car, they arrived at the village entrance in less than fifteen minutes.
It was noon.
However, the village entrance was filled with shouts and exclamations.
This familiar scene made Zhao Jing frown slightly.
He quickly walked over and saw many unfamiliar faces among the crowd.
Zhao Jing found his little girl in the crowd.
The little girl was standing on a high spot with a group of young ladies, tiptoeing as she looked inside.
She only noticed it when Zhao Jing walked to her side.
"Husband, you're back!" Lin Anan said happily.”
" Mm." Zhao Jing was interrupted by the little girl again.
"Husband, you came back just in time. Later, let's go and pray to Bodhisattva and ask Bodhisattva to bless you to be the top scholar next year!”
"The aunts said that this Bodhisattva is very spiritual!”
