Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 15



Zhang Wenhai sat down beside the desk, looking like a sick rooster. If there was a crown, it must have drooped to the side.

He only knew that he was stupid, but he didn't know that he was so stupid.Although he was not fluent in the article that Chu Ci asked him to explain to memorize before, at least the masters had interpreted it, so he spoke it out.

But later, there were more and more problems. Although they were all just reciting, how could Chu Ci's brain be able to keep up with him?

After testing "Mencius" for a while, it became "The Analects" again, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, it became "The Book of Songs" again.

The questions are also varied, and the memorized part is based on the last sentence, the last sentence, and even only the middle words, which is simply inhumane.

Once he thought about it for a while, Chu Ci stared at him with that kind of strange and unpredictable eyes, as if to say why you are so stupid, it made people mentally stressed, and the words became even more stumbling.Obviously his former wife didn't take the exam like that!

Zhang Wenhai wanted to protest, but when Chu Ci's eyes swept over him, he withered away.Because Chu Ci didn't touch the book the whole time, not only that, even if he recited a word wrong, he would immediately find out and correct it.Could it be that the brains of child prodigies are so different from those of ordinary people?Zhang Wenhai turned into lemon essence, exuding a charming sour smell all over his body.

"Okay, let's end today's inspection." Chu Ci finally showed mercy and let Zhang Wenhai go.He has a general understanding of Zhang Wenhai's foundation.

This piece of Wenhai has a solid foundation and a good memory. The memorization of the back of the book is fluent, but the reaction is a little slow.Chu Ci felt that this was his biggest problem.

If it was the same as before, and only took one test a day, I am afraid that Zhang Wenhai would have already been admitted as a scholar and became a student.But now that the system has changed, he still has to think about each question for a long time.

The previous few times, he failed the test because he didn't have enough time to answer the test papers.In the following one or two times, the test paper was barely finished, but the questions were not answered in depth, and only a false appearance was filled in. Naturally, the county magistrate would not admit such a person as a scholar.

You must know that the number of scholars in the county every year is also incorporated into the county magistrate's assessment items.However, it will not work if random enrollment is based on the number of people.

Chu Ci knew that this scholar's title was not a lifelong title, and at the end of each year, he had to go to the county to participate in a "year-old examination".Those who pass the yearly examination retain the title of scholar, and obtain the qualification for the autumn examination. Those who fail for two consecutive years, then I am sorry, and the title of scholar will be withdrawn.

Although a scholar is not as good as a juren, he enjoys many rights and interests.A scholar has Lumi Wudou every month, once in March.In August, the Chu family received Lumi in advance, and the rice they received was exchanged for silver to help Chu Ci cure his illness. In December, Chu Ci could receive Lumi for the next season.

In addition to this, a scholar can also be exempted from the taxes of three people including himself and his own corvee.The corvee in the Great Wei Dynasty was calculated in this way. If there were two males over the age of 14 in the family, then there would be a quota for corvee.

Before that, Chu Ci's father fell into the water and drowned because of repairing the embankment.Ever since Chu Ci was admitted as a scholar, he has been exempted from corvee. The Chu family is only counted as a male, and his eldest brother naturally does not need to serve corvee.

There are still seven years before Chu Xiaoyuan grows into an adult, Chu Ci thought, within these seven years, no matter what, he will be able to pass the exam, and the whole family will be exempted from taxes and corvees, and step into the threshold of the gentry.

In addition, a scholar would not kneel before an official, and he did not have to appear in court in person, and even below the government level, he could not torture a scholar in private.Even if something is really committed, as long as it is not a capital crime, it can be settled with money.Moreover, if ordinary people want to leave the county, they must have a guide, but scholars can travel around the world with documents.

There are so many benefits to being a scholar, and everyone flocks to it, so there are very few scholars who have their titles revoked.

Chu Ci thought that in order to help Zhang Wenhai gain fame, he must first improve his answering speed and thinking ability.You can no longer let him think about a question for a long time before starting to answer it.

So how can we improve him?The only way is to brush the questions.

The No. [-] Middle School in City A where Chu Ci was originally located is an old-fashioned high school. One of the magic weapons of the school's admission rate far exceeding other high schools is that their school has built a question bank.

Whether it is the real questions of the college entrance examinations in previous years, or some places or even some high school questions, they have collected them here.As for the method of collection, I will not mention it for the time being, but its benefits are obvious.

Every time the students take the monthly exam, they have to solve the boss-level problems in this devilish atmosphere. It is natural for them to face the elite monster-like questions in the general exam.

And now, Chu Ci is also preparing to write a question by himself, so that Zhang Wenhai can feel the oppression that the high school seniors in his previous life felt.

After being let go, Zhang Wenhai, who was holding a Junshan silver penny and eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, felt cold all over again—bad, it was that feeling again!

……

It was night, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother came back from the county seat.They went to the county town for a banquet two days ago, and they didn't have time to come back at noon to entertain Chu Ci, so as soon as they got home in the evening, they immediately ordered the chef to prepare a feast for Chu Ci.

"Chu Xiucai, please. My son is lucky to have Chu Xiucai here to answer his questions. What a blessing! This glass of wine, I respect you first." Father Zhang opened his mouth as a compliment, but his attitude was sincere. Hearing this People who talk will only feel comfortable.

"Master Zhang, why did you come to this? I am ashamed and dare not take it. Logically, brother Zhang and I were originally from the same school, and you are the elder. How can I let the elders toast me first when I am a junior? Besides, you are the master, and I am the master. As a guest, it is natural for me, the guest, to respect the host first, and thank you for your hospitality. Therefore, I should respect you first for this glass of wine." Chu Ci stood up, held the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile.

Father Zhang quickly said: "Okay, please sit down quickly, nephew Chu Xian, you are so eloquent. This glass of wine, I have to bear it no matter what." After finishing speaking, he bumped into Chu Ci After taking a sip of the cup, the two drank it up at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and immediately eliminated the feeling of strangeness.

"Nephew, my kid is dull by nature, please help me take care of him, beat or scold, I don't have any complaints as a father, I just hope he can improve a little more than before, I am satisfied " Father Zhang first sighed, and then looked at Zhang Wenhai with that expression of hating iron for nothing.

This glance made Zhang Wenhai very ashamed and aggrieved. His father's words are commonplace. Every gentleman in him has heard what his father said.Unexpectedly, he told Chu Ci again today.

It's not that he doesn't agree with Chu Ci's identity, but that Chu Ci is one year younger than him, so how can he regard Chu Ci as his husband without any suspicion?

"Look, he still doesn't accept it, alas!" Zhang Wenhai's slightly wronged eyes were caught by his father, so he was complained again.

"Uncle, don't worry too much. Brother Zhang just doesn't adapt to the rules of the examination room. Poetry and essays are still very good. You are a little unfair to him by saying that. Now that your mansion has called me, I will do my best to help Zhang Brother, let him benefit and live up to the expectations of the two elders."

Chu Ci has been a class teacher for four years since graduation, and he knows the mentality of some parents well.When they complain about the child's stupidity and disobedience, they must not follow his words, otherwise they will end up in a bad mood.

At this time, teachers should try their best to discover the advantages of students and speak more good words, which will help the family harmony and the relationship between teachers and students.

Chu Ci's words really made the three members of the Zhang family smile, especially Zhang's mother. She couldn't hear others saying that Zhang Wenhai was not good.

Everyone had a very good impression of Chuci. The guests and hosts had a great time at a dinner party, and they chatted for a long time before ending.

At night, Mr. Zhang admired Zhang's mother: "How do you think this Chu Xiucai has a brain? I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen a young man like him. He is not only good at learning, but also good at human feelings." Sophistication should not be underestimated. Even if I have read Qianfan all the time, I can’t feel any malice towards him. If our son can be half, no, one third as smart as him, I won’t have to worry about his future.”

"Come on, you've been talking all night, and my ears are getting callused. No matter how good Chu Xiucai is, that's not our luck. Besides, didn't Chu Xiucai say it? We Wenhai are not stupid, but we are a little If you don’t get used to it, he will definitely be admitted as a scholar next year, so you can rest assured and wait to become the father of a scholar!”

Mother Zhang couldn't hate Chu Ci, but she still felt a little uncomfortable hearing Master Zhang keep praising other people's children.She can only place her hope on Zhang Wenhai, so that he can get ahead as soon as possible.

Chu Ci drank a lot of wine tonight, even if the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, he was a little bit over the top.

Chu Ci has a habit of splashing ink every time he is drunk.

He came to the table, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, after a moment of daze, he wrote a poem on the paper with the pen.

"...I have learned a lot since I was a child, and I have a high ambition in my life;

Others carry a sword, but I have a pen like a knife.

In the morning, he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening, he went to the Tianzitang;

There is no such thing as a relative, a man should be self-reliant..."

This is "Poems of a Child Prodigy" by Wang Zhu, a poet of the Song Dynasty. It is said that he himself was a child prodigy and could compose poems at the young age of nine.

In the ancient times when the feudal hierarchy was clear, Chu Ci was somewhat depressing.Although he already knew that the social status in ancient times was very unequal, but after putting himself in the situation, the more he understood, the stronger his desire to stand out.

Just like tonight, the Zhang family he was facing was just a wealthy businessman's family, so he couldn't avoid some flattery in his words.This is not to say that he still feels humiliated, but that in the future, he will face more people. If he does not make himself stronger, then he will do more and more things that go against his heart.

This is not what Chu Ci wants to see.

Once time travelling, Chu Ci was glad that he was wearing a scholar.He didn't dare to imagine how he would behave if he wore it on the body of traffickers, pawns, or even rough envoys.

But he knows that no matter what the situation is, he will try his best to live a new world and not let himself succumb to this unknown fate.

In this way, it was not in vain that God gave him a new life.
