After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

What should come, cannot escape.

Whether the old ghost is a man or a woman, this question has finally been brought to light.

Yinzhen pretended to be calm, and steadily took back the steps that were about to break through the door.

Turning around slowly, he answered calmly. "There is a saying in the Heart Sutra: form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and perception is the same. Whether there is a difference between the body and the soul, gender, can be explained in this way."

Wu Fuyi smiled when he heard the words, and then dropped three words, "Speak human."

Yinzhen's back stiffened, if he could confidently choose the correct answer, why would he bother talking about something.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you get the wrong answer, the worst thing is to be laughed at.

What's more, Wu Fuyi chose to ask questions at this time, I'm afraid he has already seen through his entangled mood, and deliberately picked which pot to leave.

The old ghost is male, with green hair on his head, and married to a male ghost; the old ghost is female, hanged and beaten, and married to a female ghost.

"Such a simple answer, you can't understand it."

Yinzhen pretended to be sneering, but in fact he chose the answer he could accept better. "You were a woman while you were alive."

Wu Fuyi didn't show his face, and didn't immediately say right or wrong, so he asked, "Oh? Are you sure?"

Is it wrong?

Yinzhen was already in the blind selection, so he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, but he still put all his eggs in one basket.

The old ghost has a perverse temperament, and he took pleasure in teasing him not once or twice, but this time he must be deceiving him too.

"Of course, it's so hard to judge such a trivial matter."

Yinzhen spoke calmly, but in reality he quietly pricked up his ears.At this point, he must hear the truth clearly.

"Really? Are you sure? Don't change it? Now there is still a chance to change it."

Wu Fuyi seemed to be giving Yinzhen a chance to choose again, and looked at him patiently.I hope to appreciate the whole process of Yinzhen gradually doubting himself, and then his calm expression breaking down.

In just a few breaths, it becomes infinitely lengthy.

Yinzhen persevered, without changing his expression.

His endurance is very good, and at this time it is most taboo to waver, and in the end he said very firmly: "I am sure."

It's a pity that he was bet.

Wu Fuyi was a little regretful that Yinzhen didn't jump back and forth between the correct answer and the wrong answer.She finally applauded gently, "Congratulations, you answered correctly."

As the words fell to the ground, Yinzhen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this gamble was right, and he did not fall to the point where men and women were not distinguished.

After rejoicing, he immediately glared at Wu Fuyi angrily.The ghost thing is very good, trying to trick him into the wrong answer again and again.

Wu Fuyi blinked innocently, "Why do you stare so wide? Is it because you are full of joy when you know the answer is correct?"

Listen, this is typical nonsense with your eyes open.

Yinzhen is very sure, his expression is wide-eyed.

However, Wu Fuyi added fuel to the fire, "Hey, I knew you were happy. Logically speaking, I should reward you for answering correctly and make you happy, but I'm not ready yet.

It's better to wait for the weather to get warmer and go for a walk deep in the woods.You must have regrets on the volcanic island trip, not being able to pick coconuts and eat them yourself.As a bonus, how about we go to the branches to enjoy the spring blossoms? "

No, how, how!

The joy of Yinzhen guessing the gender was fleeting, followed by the quick translation of nonsense in his brain.The so-called branch flower viewing, the real meaning is to climb to the top of the tree's high-intensity training.

I still remember playing in the lotus lake in Songjiang Mansion. The horrible swimming training is unbearable. It is not difficult to guess that the level of torture of tree climbing training will only get worse.

"I really thank you."

Yinzhen didn't want to stay any longer, and left as quickly as the wind blowing under his feet.

Exercise is still useful, allowing him to develop a fast walking speed that he did not have in previous years.A series of actions such as pushing the door, crossing the threshold, closing the door with the backhand, and jumping a foot away are completed in one go.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he had already returned to his yard, and saw three cedar trees standing tall and straight by the wall.

Cedar, whose leaves are like sharp needles, is not suitable for climbing training.

Yinzhen made this judgment subconsciously, then quickly regained his senses and looked away.

It is impossible to look forward to tree-climbing training, but it is only rational to realize the necessity of mastering this kind of wild survival skills.

Do you miss Wu Fuyi?

He reluctantly admitted that the old ghost was considerate sometimes.If you are good to a person, you will help the other person acquire more skills.

Although the process of getting people to master skills is terrible, it is also thoughtful.Choose a practice location deep in the woods, knowing that this kind of thing cannot be seen by outsiders.

As for other things, is there anything else you want to say to Wu Fuyi?

Yinzhen silently slandered, the old ghost dared to call him Ah Si.

This name is too casual, it might as well have a beautiful meaning when he named the dog Baifu.He didn't refute on the spot, because it was almost expected that he would be given a cheap name to support him.

Fortunately, he didn't give in too much, and put the title of old ghost on Wu Fuyi's head early.Half a catty is right, no loss.

**

**

In Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, demolition of bells was in full swing.

Wu Fuyi chose three chime bells, dismantled them and put them back together within a month.

Then, I took a clock back home, and let Mo Yaqi, Honghui and Hongying also participate in the activity of dismantling the bell, which is much more challenging than building block toys.

The two-year-old Hong Yun is not suitable for this kind of game, the main reason is to prevent him from eating the parts of the chime clock by mistake.

Entering school at the age of three, this year is the last period of carefree days for Hongyun, and he will still be ignorantly watching his mother speak the language of babbling.

Mrs. Li holds English books and reads articles every day.In order to simulate a backlash scene, she needs an audience.

Reading in front of maids and mothers, you can't ignore it, so you have to let the ignorant youngest son help you out.

Speaking of English, I studied it for a year last year.

The exam was originally scheduled for the Spring Festival, but Fourth Master didn't rush back to the house until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.It was late to return home, but the test was not delayed for too long. At the end of the first month, a quiz was held.

The Li family took the English and Jili language test, the Song family took the agricultural study test, and the three children took more subjects.I heard that Fujin will have to go to the examination room next year to be a translator of Buddhist scriptures.

The test results came out on the day the dragon raised its head on February [-].

Mrs. Li has inquired about it, but neither she nor Mrs. Song satisfied fourth master, their grades are mediocre and need to be improved.

The three children are the fourth master's compliment, saying that he will take them to the mountains and forests in the suburbs of Beijing to enjoy the scenery.

As for her and the Song family, if they wanted to go to the temple to offer incense, they could also report to Fujin and set off with all the guards.

There is one thing to do before that, everyone in the mansion, regardless of their status, must be inoculated with cowpox.In February, the crops are planted in rotation, and the youngest Honglin is no exception.

After a year and a half of promotion, almost everyone in the capital knows that vaccinia can prevent and treat smallpox. So far, the elderly, weak, women and children who have been vaccinated have not experienced any adverse reactions.

Mrs. Li also dispelled her previous worries. She was willing to vaccinate, and she was also willing to let Hongying vaccinate as soon as possible.

You can burn incense when you have acne, but you haven't figured out what to pray to the Buddha for blessing.

Should I ask fourth master to lower the test requirements, or ask her to use her brain better?

But no matter how good the brain is, there are courses that cannot be read.

This means that the most pitiful thing is Wu Ze Fujin.

According to the definite news, what Wu Shi was asked to learn was to dismantle chiming clocks and other mathematics and physics.

Elementary tutorials, children must read.

Xiang Hongyi borrowed the book to have a look, the course is simply a heavenly book.

If it is said that it is still possible to learn and understand foreign language by trying hard, mathematics, science and physics are really like a fantasy, and there is nothing to do with it.

There is contrast and there is joy.

Mrs. Li no longer complained about Fourth Master's teaching arrangement, for fear of being asked to change courses.

She was relaxed, the Song family next door was learning agricultural books, and sooner or later she would have to go to the field to swing a hoe, thinking about it, she felt sympathetic to her.

In Yongjun Prince's Mansion, the learning atmosphere is strong.

In the capital, they don't give in too much.

In the spring of March, people from all over the world gather here.

All major bookstores, pen, ink, paper and inkstone shops are bustling, and the peak of passenger flow comes once every three years.

This wave of excitement will last for two months.

There will be an examination in March, and as soon as the results come out, the palace examination will follow in April.After the palace examination, the emperor will select suitable talents from those on the list, confer official positions and arrange errands.

This year, one person became famous.

Not because of the first place in the exam, but because of an exceptional admission.

"Brother Chen, have you heard? That fellow He Zhuo..."

"Hush! Brother Gao, this matter is not for discussion. He Zhuo, Wang Hao, and Jiang Tingxi are all Jinshi hand-picked by the sage, and they are all excellent in learning. In fact, to be honest, you and I have also read He Zhuo's articles. It’s really good too.”①

"Ah! That's true, but..."

But the article is good, and there are more than one or two students who have lost their names in Sun Shan. Why are the three of He Zhuo treated preferentially twice?

If they failed the provincial examination, the emperor gave them the title of Juren.After failing the examination, the emperor made an exception and gave them the title of Jinshi.

Doesn't this break the rules of the imperial examination?

Breaking the rule twice made it difficult for some judges, and it also made it difficult for some courtiers.

What the courtiers don't understand is not Kangxi's unusual behavior, but what Xiong Cilu and other examiners think?

The emperor specially bestowed three titles of Juren, and the three of them participated in this year's general examination together, but none of the examiners passed. Isn't this putting Kangxi's face on the ground!

When Kangxi broke the rules and bestowed the titles of Jinshi to the three of He Zhuo, he immediately took their test papers and posted the copied version on the wall next to the Imperial College for public announcement.

Several answer sheets attracted Juren, Gongsheng and other scholars to watch, and then there was a lot of discussion.

Ten days later, a consensus was basically reached in the capital. Such an answer sheet does not dare to be said to be in the top ten, but it is absolutely no problem to be included in the list.

That shows that the emperor didn't act arbitrarily to determine grades based on likes and dislikes, but that the three of He Zhuo really have real talents and learning, and they can't bear to be buried.

The pressure was put on the side of Xiong Cilu and other examiners.

Since He Zhuo's three candidates are talented and highly favored by the emperor, why did they all fail when the examiners were grading the papers?

Isn't this behavior against the emperor?

Some courtiers couldn't understand, Xiong Cilu and others from the Southern Party felt that Suo'etu, Mingzhu and others were no longer in the court, and they wanted to find something to do in peace?

Even if He Zhuo had enmity with some members of the Southern Party, it wouldn't make the other two lose the ranking, right?Anyway, keep one, to give the emperor some face.

Now it's all right, the examiner gave him a failed pass, but Kangxi turned back and recruited a special recruit.

The subsequent palace examination was marked by the emperor, and the results were self-evident, and the three of He Zhuo were admitted.He Zhuo was assigned an errand very close to Kangxi, the South Study Room and the editor of the Hall of Martial Arts.

In the restaurant, Baotai and Yinzhen are drinking tea in the private room.

The discussion outside could not be heard in the box, but one could guess what the group of candidates were discussing at the meeting.

"If you want me to say, Babeile has the insight to know people. As early as when He Zhuo came to Beijing last year, he saw that he must have something to do, and he also mentioned to me, Ama, that this person has good knowledge."

Baotai praised, and his Ama was Prince Yu Fuquan.Fuquan is Kangxi's half-brother, the second son of Emperor Shunzhi.

According to the theory of kinship, Baotai should call the elder brothers cousins.

He was not too close to Yinhu, even if he mentioned it behind his back, he still called him Babeile.But it's different for Yinzhen, who is one year younger than him, the two have been playing with dogs and cats since they were young.

Baotai looked at Yinzhen's absent-minded look, and asked directly: "Ninth brother, what's wrong with you today? Is there something bothering you, let's solve it together."

"It's okay, I went to bed late last night."

Yinzhen avoided talking about it, what he wanted to say, just before he went out to drink tea, he just received the news that there was a follow-up to the encounter at sea last autumn and winter.

In November last year, the expedition team left the uninhabited island in a hurry, passed through the Ryukyu country and entered the Fuzhou Minguan Customs of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to verify whether there will be a volcanic eruption on the uninhabited island, he left a sum of money for the businessman of the Ryukyu Kingdom to inquire about the news. If there is any new development, someone will pass the news to the capital.

After five or six months, Youxin came from Ryukyu.

It clearly states that last winter, there were signs of a volcanic eruption around the uninhabited island.

Thick smoke covered the sky, earthquakes and tsunamis.As for the situation on the island, for the sake of safety, no ships approached, so I don't know the current situation.

It turned out that he was almost captured by Hades!

Yinzhen immediately copied the news to Zhuangzi in Beijiao to let the fourth brother know.I can't help but be thankful that the fourth brother made a decisive decision at that time, otherwise this would be a mess of loess.

Traveling to Dongying is a secret operation, even though Baotai is already the heir of Prince Yu's mansion, he is still not qualified to know these secrets.

At this moment, listening to Baotai talking about He Zhuo and others, he didn't feel much interest.This feeling is like experiencing the stimulation of life and death, and the threshold for new things has been raised.

In fact, I have heard about the starling's interest in He Zhuo for a long time.Before the test, Myna accompanied He Zhuo to buy pens and inks. It was in Yinzhen's own shop, how could the shopkeeper not report it.

These are not important, at least not as important as thinking about how to go to sea safely next time.

Since it is dangerous to go to sea, is it okay not to go in the future?

Even though Yinzhen once thought of quitting on the boat, she changed her mentality because of the firm perseverance of the fourth brother.

To achieve great things, one must go through a lot of hardships.He said that he likes doing business and wants to go down in history with his own ability, but he can't even have the courage to venture out.

At the moment, Yinzhen looks at Baotai.

This guy is now able to watch the excitement of the imperial examinations energetically. It's really not busy enough in his childhood and he is too busy.

"How is uncle's health? I invited you to be crowned son last year. Do you have any ideas about where to do errands next?"

"Ama's body is still the same, and the soup can't be broken for a day."

Baotai knew in his heart that Fuquan's health might not recover. Last year, when the palace invited him to be the crown prince, he also appointed the heir to the title.

"As for my future errands, according to Ama, Babeile has a gentle temperament and is quite caring. It's always right for me to go to him."

Yinzhen listened and took a sip of tea silently.

In the past, I must have immediately agreed with Baotai's approach, but now I hope this cousin thinks more.

What a wonderful world out there!

Uncle Fuquan said the starling is good, Baotai obediently went, is there no other choice?

Yinzhen didn't say this right away.He is not stupid. He knows that Fuquan's health is deteriorating, and it is hard to say whether he can survive this year.

Baotai is afraid that he will have to keep his filial piety for three years, and it is impossible to go outside to see it in a short time, so let this guy hang out for a while, drinking tea and teasing birds in the capital.

On this side, Yinzhen still wanted to let Baotai relax for a few days.

However, Kangxi would not do what he wanted. He very much agreed with the idea of ​​the School of Science proposed by Lao Si privately, and decided to start the selection of students immediately.

That night, an imperial decree was sent to the royal family and officials' children who had received Newton's "Principles" last year, requiring them to take part in the "Palace Examination" three days later. The content of the examination was related to mathematics, physics, and physics.

This "palace examination" has nothing to do with traditional imperial examinations, it is simply Kangxi's surprise test for the younger generation.

All those who received the imperial decree were struck by a bolt from the blue, and Baotai was among them.

The fear of being dominated by that man named Newton returned, and it came so suddenly.Before receiving the imperial edict, the vast majority of people were still watching the excitement of the imperial examinations, so why suddenly it was their turn?

This is not normal!

Is there some great cleverness stirring up the wind and the rain behind the scenes, instigating Kangxi to organize this kind of surprise exam?Don't let them find out, otherwise they must be sacked.

Wait a moment.

Is the guy who has been in the limelight recently called He Zhuo?Couldn't he be that smart?He Zhuo's ups and downs in the imperial examination, let other people feel the taste of the exam?

The author has something to say: ① "Records of the Holy Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" records that in the 42nd year of Kangxi, He Zhuo, Wang Hao, and Jiang Tingxi entered the palace examination twice in this way.

This year's No. [-] scholar Wang Shidan and No. [-] Zhao Jin were later dismissed by Kangxi for misbehavior, and the other was a member of the princeling party.From the side of the imperial examination here, it shows that the power struggle between the prince and the emperor is undercurrent.
