Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 525 Nanjing Mandarin, Interview in Yujing

Bian Yujing didn't answer the scholar, but left the crowd and took Bian Yulou to line up in front of the gate of the county school.

Taking advantage of queuing time, Bian Yujing told Bian Yulou about the recruitment requirements of primary school teachers one by one.

After hearing this, Bian Yulou flinched even more, saying: "Sister, we hardly understand what this elementary school teaches, and some of them have never even heard of it. How can we pass the county school interview? Let's forget about it." ?”

Bian Yujing said: "If we don't understand, do these people understand? Besides, if they don't even dare to participate in the interview, it will make people laugh."

After finishing speaking, Bian Yujing looked at the scholars under the notice wall, and found that many people were pointing at this side, obviously someone was waiting to see their jokes.

At this moment, a plainly dressed middle-aged scholar came out. Someone happened to know him, so he inquired about the interview.

"Brother Wen, are you ready for the interview?"

The scholar surnamed Wen said: "Although the interviewer said that today's interview results will be announced in three days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be selected."

"Oh, what do you say? Didn't Brother Wen apply for the Chinese teacher? According to my guess, Chinese should be taught to teach students how to read and write. Although Brother Wen is not a scholar, he has passed the entrance examination for children. How could he fail the interview?"

The scholar Wen surnamed sighed: "Chinese is a class that teaches students how to read and write, but the interviewer requires that they can be taught to read in Nanjing Mandarin or Beijing Mandarin. You know, I am originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang, and Nanjing Mandarin has always been bad. How can I get by?"

As for Beijing Mandarin, the scholar with the surname Wen didn't speak it, and no one asked about it.

Because from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the south, the scholars of the Jin Dynasty brought Luoyang Yayin to Jinling, Jiankang and other Jiangnan areas. Jinling Yayin, that is, the original version of Nanjing Mandarin, is the official Mandarin that has been popular and officially recognized throughout the country in subsequent dynasties.

Only the Yuan Dynasty was an exception, but the Yuan Dynasty existed for too short a time, and some related policies were too weird, so when the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty, the status of Nanjing Mandarin was hardly affected.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang brought the Huaixi Xungui Group into Nanjing, which made the Nanjing Mandarin a little influenced by the Jianghuai dialect, it still retains its elegant tone.

Later, although Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he brought 50 million people from Nanjing. In addition to the fact that Nanjing dialect has been the official language for thousands of years, the move of the capital to Beijing by the Ming Dynasty also did not affect the status of Nanjing Mandarin.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the capital was located in the north, Beiping dialect was finally recognized as the second official dialect by default—note that it was the default, not official certification.

Even in Daiqing later, it is still difficult to shake the status of Nanjing Mandarin ruling the whole country.

Yongzheng once set up special departments and policies to promote Beijing dialect, hoping to replace Nanjing Mandarin as the leader, but it only made Beijing dialect popular in a wider range.

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the drafting of the national pronunciation in the early Republic of China that the Beijing dialect (mainly referring to the Chengde dialect at that time) was determined as the national standard language after the "Jing Kingdom Controversy" and developed into the Mandarin of later generations.

That is to say, now Beijing Mandarin can only be regarded as a regional official language, which is similar to the status of Southwest Mandarin in later generations.

The scholar Wen surnamed obviously spent most of his life in Nanjing. As a result, he couldn't speak Nanjing Mandarin well, so it was naturally impossible to learn Beijing Mandarin.

Knowing what happened to the scholar Wen surnamed, there were other scholars in the line who rushed to the Chinese teacher, but also felt worried that they could not speak official Chinese well.

At this time, the scholar named Wen said again: "If it is only required to speak official Chinese well, the key is to have the ability to teach sub-classes.

The gymnastics say it is to lead the students to strengthen their bodies. I am not a warrior, how can I do it?
As for the labor class, it is said that you need to be able to work in the fields or workshops. I also don't understand it, and I have never done it, and I don't even bother to do it.

So, I wanted to take an art class, after all, I could barely do anything but calligraphy.

But the examiner said that calligraphy belongs to the content of Chinese teaching, so artistic talents can only be music, painting, chess or other elegant arts. "

Speaking of this, the scholar surnamed Wen sighed heavily, and said: "I just want to have a status in the government and earn a few taels of silver every month. Why am I being made so difficult? This elementary school teacher, I don't care if I don't do it!"

After finishing speaking, he left.

The rest of the people discussed for a while, and about a few people who were in the same situation as the scholar Wen surnamed also left one after another.

This actually shortened Bian Yujing's queuing time.

After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally Bian Yujing's turn.

She was led to Minglun Hall in the county school, and she saw three people sitting in the listening seats below, who were the examiners for this interview.

Two of them were dressed in official uniforms, which should be the teaching instructions of the county school and a certain instructor, but the other seemed to be a female official in the palace—thanks to Bian Yujing's well-informed knowledge, otherwise he might not be able to recognize it.

Although Bian Yujing was surprised to see a female official in the palace, she was a little more confident about this interview.

The middle-aged man sitting on the far left pretended to be majestic and said: "I am Wu Chou, the instructor of Jiangning County, and then you can do as I tell you."

"Yes."

"What is your last name? Where is your hometown? What was your previous occupation?"

Bian Yujing didn't expect to be asked such a critical question at the beginning, but fortunately, she was prepared for the identity check, and immediately replied: "Little girl Bian Sai, originally from Wu County, Suzhou, the family of officials.

Later, due to his father's early death and his family's decline, he had to move to Nanjing Qinhuai River to make a living as a performer. "

Hearing this, the three interviewers were taken aback, even the female officer was no exception.

Immediately the instructor in the middle asked: "Are you a famous Qinhuai prostitute whose stage name was 'Bian Yujing' a few years ago?"

"The little girl calls herself Taoist Yujing, and Bian Yujing is indeed a stage name."

After confirming Bian Yujing's identity, the three couldn't help looking at each other.

The instructor first exchanged glances with the instructor Wu Chou, then asked the female officer next to him in a low voice: "Imperial envoy, can such people also apply for primary school teachers?"

The female officer hesitated for a moment, looked at Bian Yujing a few times, and then said: "Is there any requirement from the imperial court that she is not allowed to apply?"

"Naturally not." The teacher said hesitantly, "But she is a person in the world after all, how can she be a teacher? If she is allowed to do it, what will the elders of the students think?"

Although the instructor's voice was low, Bian Yujing could still hear it clearly because there were only a few people in Minglun Hall, and his heart sank gradually.

The female official known as the "imperial envoy" became her only hope.

The female officer hesitated again, and said: "Let her interview first, I will ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter when I return to the palace."

The other two nodded.

Immediately, Jiaoyu coughed lightly and asked, "Which subject do you want to apply for as a teacher?"

"Chinese." Bian Yujing said.

Although Bian Yujing has acquired some knowledge in mathematics, but what he knows is not even superficial.

As for nature, she knew that Fang Yizhi was ordered to build the "Daming Academy of Natural Sciences", but she didn't know what nature was, so she dared not choose it.

Immediately, Jiaoyu picked up a book on the table, turned to a certain page and said, "Read the seventh chapter of the "Chinese" (Volume [-]) textbook for the first grade on the table, "Dairy Songs ([-])". Remember, you need to use Nanjing Mandarin or Beijing Mandarin to read.”

"Yes."

Bian Yujing responded, and curiously opened the "Chinese" textbook on the table, and found the "Songs of Rhymes ([-])" that the teacher said.

The textbooks are also horizontal, like the Ming Pao, with punctuation marks added.

She has long been used to reading, so she read two sentences of this article at a glance.

Immediately, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

In her opinion, although the two sentences in "Dairy Songs ([-])" are simple, they are catchy and should be of great assistance to children in learning to compose poems and write pairs!

While admiring in her heart, she said without hesitation in her mouth, and immediately read in standard Nanjing Mandarin: "The sky is to the earth, the rain is to the wind, the mainland is to the sky. The mountain flowers are to the sea trees, and the red sun is to the sky."

　Second more.

　　Good night~
　　The more I checked the information, the more I found that there were really a lot of talents in all aspects in the late Ming Dynasty.

　　Li Yu, the author of "The Li Weng Conversing Rhymes", is another good talent.It's a pity that I didn't know.
