Chapter Thirty-Six: Die Again

The next day, Chen Tang got up early, but saw Su Ling busy in the kitchen and arranged breakfast.

"Brother Wuqin, it's early!"

When Su Ling saw him, she shouted sweetly.

On her face, Chen Tang saw a color called "Shencai". The so-called "Shencai" is used to describe Su Ling's current state.

Before this, when the two were together, Su Ling always felt a little timid, and there was worry between her eyebrows, as if a stone was pressing on her heart, which always seemed heavy.

At that time, Chen Tang only thought that she had been suffering for too long and could not let go of her knot, but unexpectedly it was Su Ling's mother's ghost who was causing trouble.

Although this ghost was originally intended to protect her daughter, she might have protected her daughter many times. But as Zhan Yangchun said, there is a difference between yin and yang. Once entanglement occurs, it will unconsciously affect Su Ling's mental outlook and endanger her physical health.

Now that the ghost has passed away, Su Ling is relaxed in her body and mind, and her whole body has become different. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are full, and she radiates the beauty of a girl.

She touched her head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know why last night, after drinking that glass of water, I really wanted to sleep, but I fell asleep..."

Chen Tang asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"Very good, I never seemed to have a sleep so comfortable..."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "That's good, Ah Ling, our hard days have passed. Next, we must live happily."

"Um!"

Su Ling nodded heavily: "Brother Bujin, you wash first, I'll make breakfast."

After breakfast, Chen Tang went out with his bookcase and went to the college to attend class. As soon as he reached the intersection of Hanmo Street, he saw the yamen runner Wang Dazhuang and two colleagues squatting there, each looking full of worries.

Chen Tang was stunned: "It was early in the morning, could something happen again?"

"Zhu Xiucai died today in Fo Xiaoshi and died in the alley next to Hanmo Street. It was discovered by those who got up early to remove uncleanness."

After asking, Wang Dazhuang said, his eyes staring at Chen Tang with bulging eyes, and then sighed: "You set up a stall on Hanmo Street and meet Zhu Xiucai."

Chen Tang replied: "I don't know each other well, so I nodded. Actually, I said more to Wu Han and Wu Xiucai, because at that time our stall was close, and Zhu Xiucai was far away."

As he said that, the impression of Zhu Xiucai suddenly appeared in his mind: the old scholar who is nearly fifty years old always looks sad and silent, and is the kind of scholar who is numb when he takes the exam and is tortured by the difficult life and has only left his body...

Who would harm such a person?

Two murders occurred in the neighborhood under its jurisdiction, which was a major event. After receiving the news, Wang Dazhuang was in a bad mood. He immediately ran over, blocked the scene, and invited coroners to take a test of the autopsy. As a result, he was almost the same as Wu Han who died a few days ago. His expression was strange and happy and satisfied, and his face turned a little blue. In addition, there were no scars on his body.

There was no poisoning or wound. But these two people fell on the entrance to the college next door, next to Hanmo Street; the other died in the alley next to Hanmo Street; and they also had a common feature, that is, they all set up stalls and wrote on Hanmo Street.

Chen Tang used to be the same.

So Wang Dazhuang said a few more words to him, just to ask if there are any clues or something.

However, Chen Tang and the two are not familiar with each other. The age difference between them is a bit big and their personalities are not in line. Moreover, Chen Tang set up a stall for a while, intermittently, not long, and not fixed. Therefore, his understanding of the two old scholars was that Wang Dazhuang had not come to investigate the door himself and could not ask anything, so he immediately waved to let Chen Tang leave.

Chen Tang had just taken a few steps, and Wang Dazhuang shouted from behind: "Chen Xiucai, there is nothing to do at night, don't come out and wander around."

He was shocked when he knew that Chen Tang had bought a house in Hanmo Street, but later he realized that Chen Tang had won the favor of Master Zhao San, so he felt relieved. At the same time, he wanted to make a good relationship with Chen Tang, which may be beneficial in the future.

With his worries, Chen Tang came to class and was a little distracted during class. He had just had a long talk with Zhan Yangchun last night and solved many things. The deaths of Wu Han and Zhu Xiucai made him feel a quarrel, wondering if it was a wicked street in Hanmo Street...

Hanmo Street is quiet all year round, with locust trees on both sides of the street. This locust tree is said to be a bit charming. If you explain the characters, from the structure of the characters, can trees with "ghosts" not be yin and unrestrained?

Thinking of this, Chen Tang felt that the big locust tree at his doorstep became a little strange...

A bang!

Master Wang in the hall clapped the ruler in his hand and shouted: "Chen Tang!"

Chen Tang was stunned and looked up. Seeing this master who was famous for his strictness in the academy, he was looking at him majestic.

"Where did I just talk about?"

Master Wang asked.

He saw Chen Tang tilting his head slightly below, looking like he was wandering around the world and was absent-minded, and immediately asked a question. If he couldn't answer, he had to be beaten by the ruler.

Chen Tang quickly stood up and replied: "The Master talked about the second strategy of "Three Thesaurus of Yan Zi", one of which is: Why do you think that a country is not virtuous?"

Hearing that he answered correctly, Mr. Wang was a little satisfied and asked again: "Then do you know, what does this mean?"

"There is an explanation in "Changshan Notes and Commentary", which says: "The country is not virtuous, but the fault lies in the king... There is another saying in "Changpi Interpretation": Law is square, law is round, and square is round, and the whole country is not virtuous, and people are irritable... The view of "Hundred Schools of Medicine" has innovated and said, "Theory of the "Hundred Schools of Thoughts" has new ideas..."

When Chen Tang said that, he was full of quotes and talked endlessly, and Master Wang was stunned.

It’s not that Chen Tang likes this kind of “things”, and the national conditions are like this. Just like in another time and space, when I was a student in another time and space, I had to write an 800-word essay and after I threw out an argument, I had to display a row of examples to use this as an argument to confirm whether the argument is correct or not.

This is a composition model.

The same is true for writing classical articles in the Yin Kingdom.

Chen Tang is different from the past. After reading more than ten reading notes by Tao Hao, he took four or five years of courses, learned a lot, and wrote them casually, and was extremely skilled.

Tao Hao was also taking this class. In fact, this is the third time he has listened to the same class for three consecutive years. There is no way, "The Three Treatises of Yan Zi" is a key content of the imperial examination. It must be thoroughly understood and thoroughly understood. Unfortunately, the original text of the classics is quite dialectical and logical, and it is very difficult and complicated. There are nearly a hundred monographs that have been annotated and miscellaneous in the later period.

There are so many interpretations, and there are many contradictory statements between them, which makes it difficult for many students to grasp.

Just endorsing someone is enough to recite it to death...

In fact, the original meaning of the exam is indeed not many words in each book. The problem is that there are too many comments and interpretations derived from this. The original text of a sentence of three or five words must be explained with a whole article, expressing its opinions in a slew-free manner.

In this way, if you add up, you have to memorize the books you have to memorize well and study better than anyone else. People who don’t understand scientific methods and are not naturally strong-willed, so they can only memorize hard. It is really hard and difficult - the road to the imperial examination is mainly difficult here.

Tao Hao is of this type, so it is still difficult to understand clearly after studying this lesson and reading the book.

But now, when he saw Chen Tang talking in front of Master Wang, he was speechless and talking endlessly. Tao Hao was stunned and his thoughts churned: It turned out that Chen Tang had to finish reading notes...
Chapter completed!
