Be a master through ancient times

The chief examiner of this provincial examination in Xijiang Province is Zhang Songnian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy appointed by the imperial court.This person is upright and upright, and he likes the kind of rigorous and correct articles, and what he dislikes the most is articles that seem to be full of flowers but actually have nothing to say.

Like the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" made by the people of Qin, he likes it very much.As for the articles in the Tang and Song Dynasties, he only felt that they were too careless. Although they expressed their feelings directly, they were a bit too imaginative.

In previous years, he also worked as the chief examiner of the rural examination, and the articles he took were basically written in imitation of Qin Wenhan Fu, with a rigorous layout and a simple style of writing.

The writing style of Chuci is more like the Tang and Song Dynasties, bold and unrestrained, eclectic, and somewhat different from the rigorous essays that Zhang Songnian likes, so Xu Zheng came here to remind him.

Chu Ci was a little worried, how should I put it, he always felt that the character of articles like articles could not be changed.He likes to open and close, and it is really difficult for him to be cautious.

But how to say, he is also a master of exam-oriented education. Even if his writing style is not easy to change, it doesn't matter if he imitates it temporarily.

"Sir, may I ask if Master Zhang has any articles for disciples to read?"

"Yes, I have quite a few of his articles here, ranging from more than ten years ago to the last two months." After Xu Zheng found out that he was the chief examiner for this session, he immediately sent someone to collect them. He hasn't read it himself.

Chu Ci was very touched. Xu Zheng has done so much for him. If he can't get a good grade, how can he live up to everyone's expectations of him?

Chu Ci suddenly remembered something again. He knew the chief examiner, so he had a research direction these days, but the other students didn't know...

Seeing his hesitation, Xu Zheng asked, "Why don't you go to the study?"

"Sir..." Chu Ci didn't know how to speak. He asked the examiner in advance, and anyone with a family background would definitely do it, but if he spread the inside information, would he cause trouble for Mr.?

"If you have something to say, when did you learn to hesitate like this?"

"Sir, I have two or three good friends, and they came with me this time to take part in the township examination." Chu Ci still spoke, whether it was OK or not, it was useless to rely on guesswork.If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you get scolded by your husband.

"Tsk, it really is someone who has cured the Book of Songs... If you want to talk to them, go ahead and talk about it. Along with your official career, you also need two or three friends to help you. It's just that you need to keep your eyes open."

"Yes, my disciple thanked you, sir." Chu Ci got the consent, and immediately went to the study to edit a book, and told Zhang Wenhai about it, and asked him to tell other trustworthy classmates on his behalf.Zhang Wenhai usually looks like a dick, but he has the warmest heart and has a good way of seeing people. He is not the kind of bad-hearted person. He has his own way of distinguishing right from wrong, so leave this matter to him. Do it, you will get the best result.

……

Zhang Wenhai received three letters at the same time, from Chuci, Fang Jinyang and Chen Zifang.He opened Chu Ci's letter first, and the content on it made him ecstatic, and he just wanted to inform others immediately.

But there were still two unopened letters on the table. He temporarily suppressed his excitement and opened Fang Jinyang's letter.Unexpectedly, the content is generally the same as that of Chu Ci.

Zhang Wenhai smiled. One is Chu Ci, who is also a teacher and friend, and the other is his close friend Jin Yang. These two people should also see him in the same way, so they sent a letter to him immediately. he.

With a warm heart, he opened Chen Zifang's letter again, wondering what Brother Zhongxing would write to him?

The moment Zhang Wenhai saw the content, he was a little surprised that Chen Zifang's letter actually said the same thing!

This……

Chu Ci and Fang Jinyang still had traces to follow, but why did Chen Zifang trust him so much?

In fact, Zhang Wenhai has always been a bit inferior. He lives with a group of bigwigs, everyone is talented and talented.Only he, whether high or low, hangs dangerously on the tail every time he takes the exam. As long as he slacks off, he will be excluded from the team of Class A.

Some students look down on him very much, thinking that he can only flirt with each other, and even discussed in private, saying that if the Zhang family was not rich, how could those people talk to him?

Zhang Wenhai has always been used to showing people a carefree image, he told himself that as long as he pretended not to care, he would really not care over time.

But from his poems, we can still see some of his emotions.Chu Ci once commented that although Kuo's brother is a man who doesn't stick to trifles, he writes poems with tenderness and tenderness, which is completely different from him on the outside.

He told himself that being able to make friends with these people has been a blessing for several lifetimes. If you stay away from them because of the unnaturalness in your heart, you have really fallen into the trap of those people!

So when he was away from home, he was always warm and generous, regardless of food, drink, and expenses, he rushed to pay the bill.He knew that some people took him for a fool, but as long as one of them was sincerely grateful to him, then these things would not be in vain.His father said, this is called forming good karma.

These three letters today are telling Zhang Wenhai that everyone has noticed his dedication in the past.Even if he is poor, he still holds a lot of weight in their hearts!

Zhang Wenhai sat on the desk and wiped away his tears for a while, wiped off his sleeves when he had cried enough, and went out again in high spirits.

He wants to tell everyone the good news!

……

Chu Ci studied Zhang Songnian's article for a few days, but he was very conflicted and at a loss.

This article written in Songnian's early years is indeed as Mr. Xu said, with a simple style of writing, rigorous content, and meticulousness.Looking at the article, he could even imagine such a person, fair and strict, without any sand in his eyes.

But after looking at the back, Chu Ci found that his article two years ago was not the same as before, but a little bit of the mean, both in words and in thought, a little loose.

The writing style of "Ode to Officials and People" written a few months ago is quite different from the previous ones. The writing is impassioned and straightforward, which makes the viewers applaud. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the policies and theories of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

But that's all there is to it, it doesn't really explain anything.

After Chu Ci trapped himself in the study for a few days, he finally decided to discuss with those classmates.A person's ideas and abilities are still insufficient after all.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little overlord of the Xu family walking towards him.Xu Qiaonan was so excited that Chu Ci quickly dodged in fright and hid behind the rockery to avoid his sight.

This little overlord has become interested since watching him play a set of Wuqinxi that morning, insisting on what kind of kung fu this Wuqinxi is, and forcing him to teach him.

Chu Ci had no choice but to teach him the tiger show first.This kid is also a quick learner, Chu Ci just typed it up twice for him to read, and he can figure it out by himself.

But after two days of hard work, he realized a set of boxing techniques from it, which he called "Tiger-shaped boxing", and his unique move was "Black Tiger Pulling Out His Heart".

Chu Ci saw that he was playing vigorously and vigorously, and he really looked good, so he praised him a few words.This is too much to boast about, this child is a wonderful flower in a scholarly family, and has never been reprimanded.

He was praised for his good punching today, and when Xu Qiaonan was happy, he said that he would also learn the other moves of Wu Qin Xi. In the past few days, if he was caught, he would punch him and let him learn it too.

How could Chu Ci not avoid him?

After finally slipping out of Xu's mansion, Chu Ci was like a bird released from a cage, and his mind, which had been exhausted by hard thinking these days, became a little more relaxed.Looking at the bustling and noisy streets outside, he even made a crooked poem on the spot.

When he got near West Street and was about to find Zhang Wenhai and the others, he saw a lot of scholars gathered in a nearby restaurant, as if they were debating or something.

Thinking of Mr. Xu's warning, Chu Ci stood on the side of the road and took a look before preparing to leave.But when he turned his head, he found a few familiar figures sitting by the window, their faces seemed to be angry, and they were still talking.

What's going on here?

Chu Ci walked towards this restaurant named "Zhuangyuan Building", and as soon as he approached, Fang Jinyang, who was always gentle, said angrily: "This brother is talking too much, if you only say that we are not educated Shallow, then we have nothing to say. After all, learning is broad and profound, no matter how hard we try, we are only at the beginning of the door. But if you want to slander us that there is no talent in Yuanshan County, then Xiaosheng will have to refute a few words !"

Ouch?Being able to force Fang Jinyang, a little sheep, out of the top corner, it seems that the speaker's map gun ability is very powerful!
