Dress to be a celebrity

The Tingzhou prefectural examination was scheduled for the beginning of April, and at the beginning of the prefectural examination, the eunuchs of the counties led the boys who had passed the county examination to the prefectural city.When they went to the hospital for the exam, this group of instructors also had to listen to the roll call of Xuezheng in front of the hall, and claim the candidates from their own county one by one.

Now that the results of the government examination have not yet been released, Mr. Fang has already drawn up the questions for the college examination, and what needs to be dealt with by him, the academician, is the case of Confucian scholars in Wuping County blocking cars and wounding people in public.The Confucian students in Wuping County had a big trouble, and the instructor in charge of education and administration was not there, so these days, Master Zhu, who brought the Confucian boys to the Fucheng to wait for the exam, was mentioned by Mr. Fang several times to teach him a lesson.

On the day Song Shi and the instructor Xu, Zhou, and Yuan rushed to the mansion, Zhu Xun was waiting for them at the city gate early on. Seeing Song Shi was like meeting relatives: "Mr. I have seen Sheren for a long time, and I feel very urgent, Sheren does not have to wait for orders, just follow me to see your lord."

He pulled Song Shi and Jiaoyu into the car, and on the way, he told the two of them that Master Xuezheng was concerned about Song Shi's family background.He received a lot of training in front of Mr. Fang, and asked rather sadly: "Master Fang also asked about the in-laws between Sheren and Huan Shilang's mansion. I don't know the inside story, so I dare not speak lightly. This matter is at your own discretion." stop."

Song Shi glanced at him gratefully, and thanked him: "It's all about my family that caused the four adults to suffer. I will deal with this matter myself, and I will buy wine to apologize to everyone after I go back."

The teaching and teaching of the county school are all extremely poor officials. They only have a salary of more than 20 taels throughout the year. The improvement of life depends on the sacrificial meat at the Confucian Temple at four o'clock and the scorpion meat given by the students. When listening to the Song Dynasty, they want to treat guests, which is exposed. Kind of happy.

When they had an audience with Xuezheng, they didn't seem to be so afraid when Song Shi, the righteous master, was standing in front of him.

It's a pity that Master Fang didn't ask Song Shi's words first, but mentioned Xu Jiaoyu and several people to reprimand him: "Those are all students from Wuping County, and there are even students from Shilin among them! As an instructor, you usually How could they not be strictly controlled, and let these students run to the boundaries of other counties, in broad daylight, beating people like villains in the city!"

Xu Jiaoyu said tremblingly: "Because they usually get first and second grades in the scientific examinations, they have never committed such evil deeds..." He did not forget to take care of Song Shi when he cleaned up the students. One sentence: "Song Jiansheng has nothing to do with this matter at all. He lives in the county government and has been studying behind closed doors. All officials and others can testify."

Song Shi honestly put quail on the side, gave Xu Jiaoyu 32 likes in his heart, and decided to increase the banquet size to 32 dishes when he returned home.

Fang Tixue asked him to remind him, but remembered that Song Shi had come, looked at him carefully for a while, and asked, "You are Song Shi? Are you the disciple of Brother Ji Shigong, brother of Yushi Huan, the governor of Henan Province?"

Song Shi lowered his head and replied, "Mr. Lao remembers that he is a student."

Mr. Huan passed away only four years ago, so the old friends of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the underachievers would naturally not forget him, nor did they forget that his family had raised a student with extraordinary talents.With this student in front of him, Fang Tixue didn't bother to reprimand Xu Jiaoyu and others, waved them away, and looked carefully at Song Shi.

Fang Tixue still remembered the young man whom he had met from afar when he was hanging filial piety at Huan's house. Compared with the handsome, tall and straight Song Shi in front of him, who had almost grown into an adult, he couldn't help sighing: "In a few years, you have also grown up." Yes. Did you take office with your father? Who have you studied with all these years?"

Song Shi said sadly: "When Mr. passed away, my father appointed the county magistrate of Rong County, Guangxi. The students couldn't bear to see my father serving as an official in a different place, so they followed my father to serve my father until now. It is rare to have a famous teacher these years, so I only Review the classics and notes left by your teacher back then."

I can't find a famous teacher in the barren land of Guangxi, so I can only read the old books left by my husband?It's also pitiful...

Fang Tixue sighed: "Brother Jishi often mentioned you to people in the courtyard in Japan, saying that when you read the scriptures, you are good at expressing other people's incomprehensible meanings. "Great unification". Brother Yu Yuanzhai from Beizhili also said that your writing is clear, concise and thoughtful, and your writing is not as immature as ordinary children.

"If he didn't recognize you and know that you are a young boy with a haircut, he might have taken your test paper as that of some well-learned scholar." He smiled faintly, looked at Song Shi, and asked, "Have you not done it all these years?" Go back to the hometown to take the exam again? Why did you donate the prison students? I heard that Brother Huan wants to recruit you as a son-in-law. Could it be that you plan to sit in the prison in Beijing for a few years after getting married and then take the rural exam?"

When he asked this point, Song Shi couldn't hide the fact that he was retiring. He thought about it and said, "Because my father moved to Wuping in [-], the students were worried that my father would take office alone, so they followed him to Wuping County. If this is the case, there will be no time to go to the north." Zhili took the hospital examination and simply donated a student in charge of the prison. The next year, he went directly to Ying Qiuwei. As for the marriage... This year, the king of Zhou chose a concubine. Unfortunately, the students did not come to Beijing in time to welcome her, and the daughter of the Huan family was also listed in the list. If you are no longer on the list of candidates, this marriage has to be done."

Fang Tixue glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing his slightly lowered eyes, unwilling to mention more, and thinking about the momentum of the Huan family, he also understood what his scruples were, so he just gave a soft "um", Turning to the subject of reading: "You were able to interpret scriptures and write essays when you were young. At that time, you never had the opportunity to test you. When we meet today, I will test you."

Song Shi was grateful for his thoughtfulness, and immediately responded, "Let the old man come up with the questions."

Fang Ti picked up a four-book book at the table, flipped the pages casually, clicked on one of the sentences first, glanced at it himself, and turned the page back. It’s all elegant words—Gong Ye.”

In the Song Dynasty, one knew immediately that this was a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius Shuer".

"All elegant words" comes from Chapter 15, "Zi's elegant words, poems, books, and etiquette are all elegant words."According to Zhu Zi's notes, elegant refers to the usual meaning, that is, Confucius often used the sentences in "Book of Songs" and "Shangshu" when speaking, and always adhered to the etiquette in "Zhou Li".Cheng Zi commented that the usual words of Confucius stop here. It is not easy to learn about nature and the way of heaven, so you should memorize his words.

And "Ye Gong" comes from "Ye Gong asked Confucius about Zilu, and Zilu was wrong" at the beginning of the next chapter.This Mr. Ye was originally a doctor of Chu State. His name was Zhuliang and his style name was Zigao.He asked Zilu about Confucius, but Zilu didn't answer. When Confucius heard about it later, he told Zilu that he should not respond.

These two sentences are really irrelevant, but this is the case with interception questions. If there is no connection, the method of "fishing, pulling, and crossing" should be used to build a bridge between the two sentences and change a meaningful problem.

Elegant words are common sayings, and the first half of the sentence is the word "chang", replacing the word in the original sentence, it is the words that the sages used to say... The saints have the merit of enlightenment, so they use the "sacred teachings" , "Hadith is permanence".And the word "Ye Gong" in the second half of the question should be changed to use his own identity, "Doctor Chu".Ye Gong wanted to know about Confucius, so he could not quote the original sentence content outside the title when breaking the question. The "elegant words" in the first half of the question can perfectly fill in this answer.

The sage's words are "Poems", "Books" and "Rituals". In Cheng Zi's annotations, it is said that "nature and the way of heaven" cannot be obtained and heard. For the words of sages who are "knowledge by silence", Zhao's annotations should be "recorded ", so Ye Gong's "elegant words" for the first half of the question should be memory, not "get it".

He was sorting out his thoughts when he heard Fang Tixue say: "I don't have time to watch you write a few articles in person, you just break the problem and answer the problem."

While speaking, Song Shi had already sorted out the top and bottom questions, borrowed a pen and paper from him respectfully, and wrote on the paper: "Ming's sacred teachings are permanent, and Doctor Chu can remember them."

Once the problem is solved, it is easy to accept the problem.The left is nothing more than positive and negative inheritance, and the original sentence of the title can be quoted in the inheritance title. He reversed the meaning of the sage's sayings "Poetry", "Book" and "Ritual" in the title, which can be remembered by Dr. Chu, and rewritten ""Poetry" "" "Book" "Ritual" These sages don't say anything, what can Dr. Chu remember?"

Be more elegant, and change it according to Cheng Zi's annotations, "A husband's elegant words can be said to be all, but apart from poetry and book rituals, saints don't say anything. Why do you write books?"

This problem solving is not very subtle, but it is better than breaking it quickly and steadily, and the thinking is very sophisticated.It was not like a child back then, and now this article is not like a young man who has not reached the crown, at least it is also an old Confucian who has written articles for decades.

Fang Tixue didn't expect that he could do the cut-and-answer questions so quickly, as if he didn't need to think about it, and he could do it at his fingertips. Suddenly, a love of talents and enthusiasm for the school exams arose in his chest.

Friends who have been to middle school know the phrase "Learning while learning from time to time, isn't it easy to say? Is it a pleasure to have friends come from afar?" The original question is deeply imprinted in the mind, and there is no need to recall the original text like the previous sentence , After a brief memory of Zhu Zi's annotations, he took up his pen and wrote down the title-"If you say that you learn deeply, you can determine the existence of your friends."

Zhu Zi noted that "scholars will practice it. If you learn it from time to time, you will learn from me, so I say it."Use this sentence to expand the deep meaning of "learning" and then "speaking".

If you can take pleasure in studying hard and gain something from learning, you will naturally have like-minded friends.

Fang Tixue was a little amazed when he heard it—not only was it broken and stable, but the mind revealed from it was even more open-minded. He deserves to be the person who can be caught by Brother Ji Shi at a glance and raised under his knees like a son.

He tested several questions in a row, and seeing Song Shi's quick and fluent answers, he couldn't help but feel anxious for a moment, so he picked up a pen and drew a circle on Song Shi's manuscript paper, asking him to solve the problem.

If it is broken, even if it is a circle, it must be broken.

This circle is not an ordinary circle...it is also the content of the sage book.There is a circle before each chapter, which is used to divide chapters.That is to say, this can start with a perfect...what to start before the way of sages is elucidated.

Song Shi couldn't help but think of the sentence in Pingju "Flower as a Matchmaker", "The holy way does not exist, this is the desire of heaven to lose my gentleness", but it is not a place to joke in front of Tixue. Before you say anything, it's completely Tai Chi."

Fang Tixue watched him drop the last word, slowly read that sentence several times, and sighed: "The world is like Tai Chi when the sages don't speak, and if they speak, good fortune will come into being, rules will come out, and etiquette will be established." Yan, the preparation of the king's government, the teaching of the common people... It is so broken that it looks like a temple. If you can do the original topic, starting lecture, entry topic, eight comparisons, and final conclusion so well, this article will not be afraid to get it in front of the Fang family. gone."

Song Shi has been in contact with the juren and students in the county for the past few years. When others praise his articles, he is afraid that the other party will give him false grades because of his status as the son of the county magistrate.As for Brother Huan Xiao, he has known him since he was a child, and he has the halo bonus of his mentor. It's hard to say how deeply he reads his articles through filters, and he doesn't fully believe them.

As for his father Song County Magistrate - he just wrote a flattering formula of "respecting the stage, showing the beauty of the snow, and playing the curling". Master Song can boast a peerless article, let alone listen to his comments.

It was rare for Yu Shi to be so impartial and credible for everyone's comments. Song Shicai regained some confidence in his own level, and asked tentatively: "Students have written a few articles at home, which are considered painstaking efforts. I wonder if I could ask the old man to give some comments? "

Fang Tixue lowered his head slightly, then stopped it suddenly, showing a meaningful smile: "Why bother to read old articles. When you were in the Beijing examination for talents, you only missed one college exam. Today I am coming to Tingzhou Prefecture again. Why don't you give it a try and let me see your true level in the field?"
