The gentleman Li Jin worshiped before was a failed scholar named Song Yuan.
When Song Yuan was weak (20 years old), he passed the county examination, government examination and hospital examination, and finally obtained the title of scholar.
Afterwards, he took part in two provincial examinations, but he was named Luosunshan. Later, he lost his fighting spirit and didn't bother to think about the candidate, so he was called Luodixiucai.
Mr. Song's home used to be in Xiatan Village. Later, when he became famous as a scholar, his fellow clansmen bought him a house in the town so that he could teach the children of his clan to be enlightened in his free time.
In addition, Song Yuan also accepted other students from the surrounding villages.
After all, being a husband is not for charity, and Song Yuan can't live and sleep in the open, so if he accepts students from other villages, he will have to pay for repairs.
Li Jin bought ten sticks of bacon and walked across the main street towards Mr. Song's house.
They usually attend classes in the side room in the front yard of Mr. Song's house. There are less than ten students in total, so they don't seem restrained.
When passing by the bun shop, Li Jin bought two more vegetarian buns.
The proprietress still remembered him as a handsome young man, so she wrapped the buns for him without saying anything.
It just so happened that the proprietress's daughter, who was still in her boudoir, came out to help her steam the buns today, and happened to see Li Jin's profile.
Her daughter said: "Mother, this person looks familiar."
The businessmen in the town don't have the rules of aristocratic families that let their daughters and brothers stay out of the house. The daughter of the proprietress steamed buns for her in the capital.
The proprietress said: "Coincidentally, I saw him buying steamed stuffed buns last time, and I thought he looked familiar. It seems that he should be from the surrounding villages."
Her daughter frowned without thinking.
"But I just can't remember when I saw it."
Li Jin didn't know that the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop almost remembered Yuan Shen's habit of getting drunk.
He quickly ate the buns to pad his stomach, walked to the residential area of the town according to the route he remembered, turned two corners, and saw a rather familiar house.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Mr. Song's eldest son came out and opened the door.
The child is only seven years old this year, wearing a miniature robe, with a round face, very pleasing.
After seeing Li Jin, he asked in a serious manner: "This is Song Xiucai's house. May I ask who is here and why are you looking for the owner?"
... The seven-year-old child speaks so politely these days.
But Li Jin was even more ashamed of himself, he was Song Yuan's student, and this kid didn't remember him.
"Mr. Song's disciple, Li Jin. I was sick and asked for leave some time ago, and I came here today to sell my leave."
After the child heard it, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back," and then ran back to call someone.
Today is Muxiu, Li Jin's classmates are back on vacation, and Mr. Song is also free.
When he heard the name 'Li Jin', he frowned first, but then remembered the scene of Li Jin's mother kneeling down to beg him two years ago, so he put down his teacup and said, "Call him in."
Mr. Song's house has two entrances. After entering from the main entrance, a few steps away is the screen wall.
The child led him to enter through the hanging flower door next to it, pass through the Chaoshou veranda on the left, go to the end and turn right, and you will arrive at the main hall.
The children in Mr. Song's family were very polite. After bringing Li Jin over, they ran away without asking.
Li Jin put the basket outside the door, and entered with bacon and a bundle of two hundred cash.
He bowed to Mr. Song, and said at the same time: "Student Li Jin, I pay my respects to Mr. Song."
Seeing that he had a correct attitude, Mr. Song's complexion improved a lot.
Ask Li Jin to put down his things first, sit opposite to him, and asked indifferently: "A few days ago, you asked for leave and said that Fu Lang gave birth, and now it's going well?"
This is the leave that the original owner asked for to skip class.
Although he doesn't care about Fu Lang, he uses this as an excuse to skip class, which is really despicable.
Li Jin had a smile on his face: "Successfully gave birth to a brother, and Husband is also safe."
Mr. Song said: "Look at your prodigal son turning back now, then I won't talk about it any more.
He is already a father, so he should refrain from haste and impetuosity, devote himself to learning, and gain fame in the exam, so as to honor his ancestors and protect his wife and children. "
Li Jin naturally agreed.
Mr. Song asked again: "Would you like to take part in the childbirth examination in February next year? In the past two years, you have been observing filial piety, and it has been delayed for a long time.
The students here usually take the first exam at the age of 14, not for fame, but just to feel the atmosphere and get familiar with the environment.
To prepare for the next one in one fell swoop. "
...so this is treating the formal exam as a mock exam.
Li Jin said: "Sir, do you think I can take the exam with my knowledge?"
Mr. Song was not euphemistic at all: "Of course you won't pass the exam the first time, so I want you to familiarize yourself with the environment first."
Li Jin really wanted to say that he could still save him.
After all, I am an adult, and my concentration and self-control are much better than those of children. I study hard like a head hanging from a beam and a cone piercing my buttocks. Maybe there is still a chance...
Seeing Li Jin's thoughts, Mr. Song advised, "Don't aim too high.
The Tongsheng Examination is divided into three sessions, and the first county examination requires five subjects, which is very difficult to prepare. "
After a pause, he continued, "However, if you have the ambition to improve yourself, prepare your own pen and paper tomorrow, copy all the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" from my place, and recite them more when you go back.
If you can memorize these books in September, I will teach you the writing modes of stereotyped essays, classics and policy theory in advance. "
Li Jin quickly stood up and bowed again: "Thank you sir."
Mr. Song was very satisfied with his attitude, besides, this time Li Jin was completely different from the previous timid and absent-minded state.
It's as if he really grew up all of a sudden.
As a teacher, naturally he will not pour cold water on hard-working students.
Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Li Jin didn't stay any longer and went out to buy paper and pens.
Mr. Song's family was also accidentally rich, and his wife was a woman from the same village.
There are no concubines.
When eating at noon, my wife was a little surprised when she saw the two hundred articles.
"The child said that Li Jin came to see you, but I didn't take it seriously. Why did he give you a gift all of a sudden?"
After a pause, "I knew I should have kept him for dinner."
Although two hundred coins is not much, it still takes an ordinary banker to earn half a month.
Mr. Song thought that his wife was good at everything, but she valued this yellow and white thing too much.
In his opinion, Li Jin can take as many rituals as he wants, and the rituals are light and affectionate.
Song Yuan said: "No problem, I'll ask him to copy the Four Books and Five Classics and recite them tomorrow. You can keep him for dinner tomorrow."
Wife: "..." She was really just talking.
Although her husband may look like a scholar, he is so dull in life.
But that's good too, he does things in a straight-forward and serious manner, and he won't make any mistakes in his life.
Li Jin visited two or three stores on the main street this time, and compared the prices of paper and pens.
Before writing medical records, he was used to typing on a computer, and at most he used a pen when signing.
Once time travels, everything returns to before liberation.
In the end, Li Jin chose the cheapest rabbit fur brush. As for the original owner's previous pen and paper, it seemed that they were all sold to buy wine.
After becoming addicted to alcohol, he couldn't control anything. Li Jin had seen this kind of person in his previous life, but he didn't expect the original owner to be one of them.
As for the paper used for copying books and calligraphy, Li Jin planned to buy different ones.
The purpose of copying is to keep the ink on evenly so that you can recite it later; but practicing calligraphy requires more paper. Li Jin plans to buy the cheapest rough-edged paper.
"Young man, rice paper costs a dollar and a tael of silver. It's not worth buying. Why don't you buy quarto bamboo leaf paper, which only costs two hundred yuan, and raw edge paper costs forty yuan.
How about if you buy a dollar each, and I get two rabbit fur pens and a piece of ink? "
The shopkeeper saw that Li Jin was young. Although he was wearing a scholar's robe, the color had faded a little due to frequent washing.
At first glance, he is not a child of a rich family.
So he also gave in a little bit, a noble son from a humble family, in case this young man becomes successful in the future and is admitted as a scholar, then his store will definitely not have to worry about no business!
Anyway, he didn't lose money by selling it like this, but he didn't make much money.
The main raw material of bamboo leaf paper is bamboo. The surface of the paper is smooth, and it is not as easy to ink as rice paper. It takes a while to dry after copying.
But it is much more affordable than rice paper.
Li Jin felt that the boss was really nice, so he bought both the bamboo leaf paper and the raw edge paper, and put them in the basket.
As for the brush and ink, he wrapped them up and put them in his cuffs.
Seeing that Li Jin was still looking at it in the store after buying it, the boss said: "I still have some copybooks here, both in Yan style and willow style. Do young men need it?"
Li Jin finally bought both copybooks.
Although he learned willow fonts in his previous life, he lived in ancient times in this life, and he didn't want to learn only one typeface.
Liu Ti and Yan Ti are now the mainstream fonts for writing articles in imperial examinations.
But because of the mainstream, it has become a font that every candidate will write.
If you want your answer sheet to stand out from the crowd of candidates, then naturally you can't blindly copy and imitate.
Li Jin thought, perhaps, after he has practiced calligraphy for more than ten years, he can draw on the strengths of everyone and write a font with his own unique style.
For example, the pavilion style prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It's already mid-June, and the exam is due in February next year. Li Jin can only start by copying.
He only hopes that before the exam, the willow script he wrote can be fast and neat.
The documents for examiners and superiors should be neat and clean.
If it is for showing off skills, then the cart is putting the cart before the horse.
This is an imperial examination, not a calligraphy competition.
Li Jin asked himself that he is not a genius who can create a mainstream of calligraphy, but practicing calligraphy can really cultivate sentiment.
He planned to practice calligraphy well if he had extra time in the future.
Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.
In this way, Li Jin spent a total of 65 Wen.
But this is not the only thing he wants to buy, Li Jin thought, eggs and vegetables can be bought from the villagers.
The young man is already in the recovery period recently, so he doesn't have to eat so lightly. He plans to buy more pork belly to make braised pork.
Moreover, the boy seemed to like the meat buns at the street corner very much, so Li Jin bought two more to take back.
——When the boy gnawed on the meat bun, his eyes were shining and he looked satisfied.
The proprietress looked at his straight back, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar.
Just say that this robe is obviously familiar, why can't I remember who this person is?
Suddenly, the proprietress' daughter remembered.
"Mom, that's the one who likes to drink in the tavern! But he hasn't been here for a long time."
There are many people in the town, everyone is not that familiar, and no one knows whose footsteps.
Therefore, no one knew about Li Jin's crap.
At most, you will pay attention to it only when you see it when you do business often.
With such a reminder, the proprietress herself remembered.
She said: "The two look quite alike, but it always feels like they are different people..."
When Song Yuan was weak (20 years old), he passed the county examination, government examination and hospital examination, and finally obtained the title of scholar.
Afterwards, he took part in two provincial examinations, but he was named Luosunshan. Later, he lost his fighting spirit and didn't bother to think about the candidate, so he was called Luodixiucai.
