Many people in later generations thought that a scholar was a junior high school graduate.
Juren graduated from high school, Jinshi graduated from university.
He only learned the Four Books and Five Classics.
How hard could it be? It was over just by memorizing everything!
In fact, he was gravely mistaken!
The Four Books and Five Classics were not just to be memorized,
He also had to thoroughly understand the explanations of each family's scriptures.
If one wanted to stand out from hundreds of thousands or even millions of students,
You have to come up with your own ideas,
Otherwise, he would have to figure out the preferences of the local examiners!
Among them, there are thirteen Confucian classics.
They were the Book of Songs, the Book of History, the Rites of Zhou, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, Zuo Zhuan, Gongyang Zhuan, Gu Liang Zhuan, the Analects of Confucius, Er Ya, the Book of Filial Piety, and Mencius!
After eating all this,
Only then would he be qualified to study the articles of the sages, all kinds of anthologies, and literary copies!
After that, he would have to study the history books such as Guoyu, Guozhi, Hanshu, and Chuci!
Lastly, you have to learn some poetry, right?
You have to learn some miscellaneous books and travel notes, right?!
In this era, becoming a scholar was equivalent to stepping into the ranks of gentry.
I passed the imperial examination,
You would directly become a reserve for the ruling class!
And the Jinshi directly became the ruling class.
The external release was at least Rank-7!
Moreover, he was promoted very quickly.
At the very least, he would be a Rank-3 or Rank-4 when he retired!
Why did Granny Lai say that her grandson was blessed?
Lai Shangrong, the son of a slave, was released.
In the end, he even relied on the Jia family to become the county magistrate!
Even if ordinary people pass the imperial examination,
He had to wait for the local government to have a real job before he could become a magistrate.
Jia Zheng was as happy as a child when he heard this.
He looked at Jia Cong from head to toe and said with a smile,
"What have you read so far?"
"Second Elder Wen, I just finished reading University.”
"Oh, University. Although it's a little late, it's hard to guard the border and I don't have much time.”
Jia Zheng was very satisfied with this progress.
After all, Jia Cong basically had no time to study in the past three years.
The Jia family was still very familiar with the nine sides.
Otherwise, Jia She and Jia Lian wouldn't have refused to go back then…
"Brother Cong, what is self-cultivation?"
Jia Cong knew that this was a test for him.
It just so happened that Jia Cong needed Jia Zheng's attention.
After all, in the Inner Residence,
At least before Jia She died, Jia Zheng was very important!
"The so-called cultivation of one's self is to correct one's heart. If one's body is angry, one cannot correct it.”
"If there is fear, there will be no justice. If there is joy, there will be no justice. If you have worries, you can't correct them."
"Absent-minded, blind, deaf, eating without knowing the taste. This is called self-cultivation in the heart."
"From the eighth chapter of the University, to cultivate one's character, one must first be mindful and focused, maintain one's integrity, and be free from fear, preferences, and worries!”
"Whether it's looking, listening, or eating, there's no way to feel external things. Only then can one focus on cultivating one's character.”
The more Jia Zheng listened, the more satisfied he became.
This Brother Cong was much stronger than that unfilial son!
Excluding the three years of guarding the border,
Brother Cong was the same as Baoyu. He was not even as good as Baoyu.
Although Baoyu had just come into contact with the University,
It seemed that he was several years ahead of Jia Cong, but Baoyu could not even recite it!
"Alright, my family is going to have a Saint Child. Really."
"Sigh, no matter what, we have received a noble title and a favor. Could it be that my Jia family can't produce a noble like the sea?”
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched.
It seemed that Jia Zheng had always been resentful about being granted an official position back then.
"Second Master, families like us have already enjoyed too much. We can't ask for everything.”
"Eh? It's rare for Brother Cong to have such knowledge, good! As expected of my Jia family's son!"
Jia Zheng pulled Jia Cong and asked him about some academic matters.
The more he asked, the happier he became!
Dai Liang returned with the keys.
She also waited obediently behind him.
After chatting for a while, a servant boy came forward and reminded Jia Zheng,
"Aiya, I almost forgot something important. Brother Cong, go get your silver.”
"Don't wander around today. There will be many old relatives coming. You have to return the favor tomorrow.”
Jia Cong nodded and followed Jia Zheng into the treasury.
After signing the contract and receiving the silver, I bid farewell to Jia Zheng.
Jia Cong strode towards the front courtyard.
When he followed the servant to the guard's residence,
Jia Cong laughed loudly and said,"
"So it's you people. Uncle Niu is really thoughtful!”
"Greetings, Lord Jue!" X50
"Hahaha, quickly get up! We're family from now on!"
Waving his hand, a few servants behind him came over with plates.
"This is your settling allowance. Have you settled your family?”
"Let's not talk about anything else. We've been brothers for a few years!”
"Although you became my personal guard, it's no different from when you were in the Nine Realms.”
"Zhang Qun, bring a group of brothers to pick up the convoy behind us. Bring my share back first.”
A two-meter-tall brawny man accepted the order in a muffled voice.
The few servants behind Jia Cong were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
I almost threw out the silver on the tray
