Song Dynasty Official Publishing House

Mr. Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I see that you all have your own understanding of the knowledge in the book. So, when you go back today, each of you will write an article, and I will submit it tomorrow."

As soon as Master Xu said this, there was a sound of mourning in the school, Master Xu smiled and said, "Let's call it a day."

"Master, go slowly."

The students all stood up and bowed. Song Cheng went back with Mr. Xu. On the way, Mr. Xu asked, "Cheng, did you pay homage to your teacher when you were young?"

Song Cheng shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Master Xu smiled and said, "I just remembered that I brought you to the school today. I forgot to ask you if you were enlightened. Looking at it today, it looks like you have been to school."

Song Cheng was shocked, he forgot that in ancient times Song Cheng was poor since childhood, where did he get the money to go to school?I have been influenced by my grandmother since I was a child, so I don't think I have studied ancient classics, but I have dabbled a lot, and I even know a lot of traditional characters.But although I was playing tricks on Qi Yue today, I forgot that I was only a beginner, so I had to lie for a while, "There are people in the village who can read, and Cheng learned it by stealing."

Master Xu patted Song Cheng's head and said with a smile, "You are young and studious, very good."

Song Cheng lowered his head and smiled, secretly wiping off his cold sweat.

Qi Yue and Qi Chen followed Master Xu and Song Cheng after school. They hid in Tibet and followed all the way. They watched Master Xu and Song Cheng enter the door of Jingxiang Library together, and then hid in the Planning under the big willow tree at the entrance of the alley.

Qi Chen said, "Brother, Song Cheng really lives at Master Xu's house, what should we do?"

Qi Yue sniffed, hid behind the willow tree, lowered his voice and said to Qi Chen, "You swear first, don't tell my mother what I said, don't tell anyone, I'll tell you."

Qi Chen immediately felt that the matter was serious, and immediately swore an oath solemnly, "Master Guan is above, and Qi Chen swears here, what my brother said today, I will not say a word, and if I say it, I will call me a thunderbolt." hack!"

Qi Yue felt that it was almost the same, so he grabbed Qi Chen's hand and said, "It's done, let me tell you, I found that Master Xu would go to visit friends somewhere outside the city every holiday. Cheng called out, turned to the empty alley behind your house and cleaned him up, let him see how powerful we are."

Qi Chen asked, "Brother, what if he doesn't come out?"

Qi Yue wiped his mouth with a smile, looked at the door of Mr. Xu's house and said with a smile, "Then we'll smash the door of their house. It just happened that their house was not pleasing to the eye for a long time. Mr. Xu always punished me for copying books. Why don't you punish you? You are all three times, and I am the only one five times! I think he just doesn't like me, so I want to take these opportunities to deal with me and make me unhappy! Bah!"

Qi Chen timidly glanced at the door of Mrs. Xu's house, and suddenly felt that he was too worthless, so he glanced at Qi Yue with courage, and he pulled the cloth schoolbag on his body and said to Qi Yue, "Brother, since we have agreed , I’ll go back first, if I don’t go back, my dad will slap me hard.”

Qi Yue kicked Qi Chen with a smile and said, "Look at your promise, go, go back!" Before Qi Yue finished speaking, he heard his old lady standing at the door and shouting, "Qi Yue, you Why don't you roll back and stand under the tree?"

Qi Yue trembled from his mother's fright, waved his hands secretly at Qi Chen, quickly put on a smile and trotted over, "Mother, why did you come out? Didn't I already arrive at the door?"

Qi Yueniang was in her late thirties, her skin was fair, and she smelled like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but at this time her eyebrows were erect, very pungent.Qi Yue had always been afraid of his mother, so at this moment he obediently moved over with his head drooping, and as soon as he approached, Qi's mother slapped her on the back of the head with the same technique as Qi Yue slapped Qi Chen!

Qi Yue was slapped "Ouch" by his mother, and rushed home with his head in his arms. When he turned around, he saw Song Cheng standing at the door of the bookstore, holding a basin of sewage to look at him.Although Song Cheng didn't say a word, but his big dark eyes stared at him speechlessly, Qi Yue felt that this kid must still be laughing at him!He stared back fiercely, and bared his teeth at Song Cheng.

Song Cheng pouted indifferently, poured all the sewage from the basin in his hand into the small water channel in front of the door, and went in with the wooden basin in his arms.Qi Yue only felt that he was not only being laughed at, but also belittled, and he was even more angry, secretly holding his breath, he must deal with this brat well.

Qi Yueniang saw that Qi Yue was still chattering at the door, so she pulled her in by her ears, "What good things are you discussing with Qi Chen outside today? I see that you are not a good thing! What can you do? Good thing?"

Qi Yue hugged his ears and screamed, "Why can't we succeed? Mother, let me tell you, if the two of us go to the battlefield, we will be invincible, invincible, and invincible!" Listening to Congjun's matter, she immediately talked about something on her mind, she stretched out her hand and twisted Qi Yue hard, screaming, "Mother, lighten up, lighten up, hiss—"

"You kid is so capable, you actually think about going to the battlefield for me? Huh? You have the ability, it seems that I was mistaken! Your father died in a corner before the full moon, and the last one who moved back was A few blood-stained battle robes are still torn to pieces, you are capable, and you dare to go to the battlefield for me!" Qi Yueniang became angry as she spoke, and picked up the broom for sweeping the yard with her backhand, and grabbed Qi Yue Just hit, Qi Yue jumped up and down, and it was extremely lively for a while!

The distance between Qi Yue's house and Xu Fuzi's house is only a few dozen steps, and there is no sound insulation effect in ancient times. Song Cheng was eating on the stone table, and heard Qi Yue's shouts all over the yard like killing a pig. He looked up at Qi Yue's house. direction.Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Eat your food, I will get used to it in the future."

Master Xu took his rice bowl to eat, and then said, "Hmph, if Qi Yue doesn't clean up, he will have to lift the roof off their house."

After hearing the two people's judgment, Song Cheng obediently said "Oh", expressing that he understood.The sound of Qi Yue being chased by his mother could be heard beside his ears, Song Cheng lowered his head and smiled secretly.After laughing, he sighed again, why does he feel that he has a long way to go, Qi Yue is still a little boy, maybe he came here too early, obviously the second brother said that he should be a big shot.

Master Xu shook his head and said, "As long as this child can meet a good teacher, he will definitely become a pillar of talent in the future. If he doesn't meet him, his life may be delayed."

Song Cheng asked, "Teacher, how did you know that Qi Yue is a pillar of talent?"

Master Xu smiled and said, "His eyes have valleys inside."

Song Cheng thought for a while about Song Cheng's pissed-eyed smile, then nodded silently, "Well, yes, when he came to smash the store that day, he called out to kill the enemy."

Master Xu picked up a chopstick and said, "Well, he smashed it?"

Song Cheng glanced at his wife, then lowered his head guiltily, "Mrs..."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's all over, let's eat."

Song Cheng hurriedly lowered his head to eat, so he didn't mention this topic.After the meal, Song Cheng wrote the article, and Xu Fuzi sat on the side and read the book. Occasionally, Song Cheng used the wrong pen, and Xu Fuzi leaned over to point out, and Song Cheng corrected it again. It was not until half an hour passed that Song Cheng finished writing the article and handed it to him. Master Xu looked over.Mr. Xu read it but didn't comment on it. He talked about Song Cheng's article, "Cheng, I want to ask you a question, have you ever thought about the imperial examination?"

Song Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head directly, Master Xu asked with a smile, "Why?"

The imperial examinations at this time are different from the college entrance examinations in the 21st century. The imperial examinations not only mean that you are on the Dragon Gate, rich and prosperous, but also a kind of supreme honor for scholars. Song Cheng shook his head directly.At this time, Song Cheng was only concerned with answering Master Xu's question, but he didn't realize that Master Xu's question was wrong.The ancients studied for the purpose of becoming a high official in the imperial examination. Since it was the default, why did Master Xu ask?

Song Cheng said, "Cheng thinks he is not suitable to be an official."

Master Xu smiled and said, "You are still young, you can think about this question slowly."

Song Cheng nodded, and only asked his master a few questions in class. Master Xu explained them one by one, and then let Song Cheng go to play.Song Cheng only hugged "The Analects of Confucius", and squatted under the plane tree to enjoy the shade. He looked at the traditional characters in the book, but he didn't know where to go in his mind.

He didn't become an official because he was actually afraid that his foreign soul would mess up the history of the Song Dynasty.In Song Cheng's view, the entire history is a great balance that is constantly advancing. Whether it is war or peace, it is all caused by history.If he became an official, then, knowing the history, would he still be able to watch these humerus ministers of the imperial court thousands of years ago touch the elephant in the bright hall?

But once he intervenes in the imperial court, he has flapped his wings in this huge historical power system. What will happen next, what will happen in a thousand years, will everything in the era he came to be still the same?Song Cheng didn't know, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
