Chapter 157: People from the Palace
On the shaking carriage, the faint fragrance was swaying, and next to Zhou Ruo, Chen Ao felt a sense of success. His warm forearm, because the space could not be used, had to be next to Shen Ao. At this moment, Zhou Ruo's eyelashes drooped slightly, and his daughter was shy and incompetent.
Although my cousin always likes to have a cold face, she is still a woman after all. After a while, her mood was so thrilling that she finally showed her daughter's posture. Her original reserve, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, always keeping a distance from others, seemed to be torn apart.
After getting on the carriage, Zhou Ruo gradually calmed down and hesitated for a moment before saying to Chen Ao: "You, you won't laugh at me, that prince just now was so rude. I was afraid in my heart that was like that..."
Chen Ao smiled calmly and said, "What do I laugh at for my cousin? That prince is indeed a little bit unhuman. Not to mention you, even my cousin, I felt guilty when I saw him!"
He eliminated Zhou Ruo's nervousness in a few words, and then said, "I think the prince probably fell in love with his cousin. Oh... Seeing this prince, my cousin suddenly felt that he was gentle and elegant, fresh and handsome. Ha, as beautiful as a jade-like young man, better than Pan An who threw fruit."
After saying something shameless, Zhou Ruo almost rolled his eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips, but his tone was angry and said, "You can just talk nonsense."
Chen Ao disagreed and continued to smile: "My cousin is just compared to this prince, but if this prince proposes marriage, it will not be fun to ask his cousin to marry into his Nibora Kingdom. It is said that the Song Dynasty attaches great importance to this collegial proposal..."
Zhou Ruo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed: "No way? If that's the case, what should... do?"
Chen Aoyuan just scared him, but when he thought of the prince's eyes just now, it seemed as if his soul had been hooked away by Zhou Ruo. It was really groundless to propose marriage.
Seeing Zhou Ruo's shoulders tremble slightly, Chen Ao knew that Zhou Ruo must have thought of this possibility. With her intelligence, she would never be able to use this as a joke. In order not to worry too much, Chen Ao deliberately said with a face on the floor: "Don't worry, cousin, my cousin will definitely not let you go to Nipola to live with those monkeys."
Then, Chen Ao pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhou Ruo's eyes suddenly shining, and said meaningfully: "The mountain man has a clever plan to dispel the prince's idea."
Zhou Ruo knew that Chen Ao was full of wisdom and had always had some unexpected ideas. At this moment, he looked at Chen Ao and became more dependent. This guy obviously liked to talk nonsense, but when he encountered serious business, he was still reliable.
Chen Ao laughed and said, "It's better for my cousin to marry my cousin immediately and enter the bridal chamber tonight. By that time, the rice was ripe and I were already loving couples. No matter how thick-skinned the prince was, he had no choice."
When Zhou Ruo heard his idea, his pretty face turned red, with an unnatural expression on his face, and he spat: "Shameless!"
Chen Ao moved his body to Zhou Ruo with grievance and said righteously: "Does my cousin say this to me? No, my cousin clearly married her for her cousin's happiness and offered her precious chastity, why did my cousin be ungrateful?" He talked nonsense for a while, but suddenly became serious: "I just wanted to anger this prince, but he acted extremely restrained. This person seems not to be simple!"
Zhou Ruo was slightly stunned, and in the bumpy carriage, he became confused.
When he arrived at Zhou Mansion, a sect master said to Chen Ao: "Young Master, someone has come from the palace. I want to see you."
Chen Ao said: "Where is he?"
Mending replied: "I've arranged it in the main hall, just wait for Master Chou to come over."
After hearing this, Chen Ao had to say goodbye to Zhou Ruo first. He couldn't help but think, could it be that Eunuch Yang is here again? Eunuch Yang is very good at being a human being, so it is very interesting to collude with him.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a eunuch with a bad face, and when he saw Chen Aolai, he immediately smiled flatteringly, and walked over to salute Chen Ao, saying, "Young Master Chen, the family name Wang Han, on the order of Eunuch Yang, I invite you to attend the state banquet the next day."
"State Banquet?" Chen Ao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "What state banquet? I am just a student. It's not good to go to that kind of occasion. My father-in-law should know that I have always been low-key." As he said that, he solemnly bowed to the east: "Besides, the official has issued an order to teach me to think about my mistakes behind closed doors and be cautious. It's better to be exempted from such a state banquet. And everyone knows that I am very introverted and blushed when I see a stranger. Asking my father-in-law to go back and tell Eunuch Yang, he said Chen Ao thanked him for his kindness. Unfortunately, the students were shallow and could not stand that big scene."
Wang Han was speechless, and he said something. Chen Ao even let out the cannon mouth like a bead, and he was still introverted and blushed?
Wang Han smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, Eunuch Yang is just passing a message. Letting you attend the state banquet is actually the meaning of the official family. Mr. Chen just can't get away, no matter how much he can't get away, he still needs to go there."
After hearing this, Chen Ao suddenly looked full of admiration and said, "Oh, it turns out that the government wants students to attend the banquet. Why didn't you say it earlier? The government is busy with all kinds of things, working hard, and working hard to do state affairs. He can even take time to ask the students in his busy schedule. The students are so grateful that they can't help but be happy, as if they look at the coast in the sky and the lonely smoke and the desert encounter an oasis, and like the entrance of sweet spring to nourish the heart, and look at the stars in the dark night and wind high. However, the students want to ask, the eldest prince is raising the When holding a treasure appraisal conference, why hasn’t the reward for the conference been here yet? Don’t blame me. I have no intention of slandering the eldest prince. The eldest prince has noble character and virtue, and is worthy of the world. I am a model like us. But when everyone forgets things, when my father-in-law returns, can he tell the officials and ask them for advice. A small reward is naturally nothing to the official and the eldest prince. It is said that a drop in the tank is not worth mentioning, but it is very important to students."
Wang Han was ashamed. This twists and turns first came from the official family, then talked about the eldest prince, and finally talked about the treasure appraisal meeting. This young master Chen was really amazing when he opened his mouth.
Although Wang Han thought so, he smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely report back to Eunuch Yang. As for this state banquet..."
"Go, of course you have to go. The official has spoken. Do students dare not go?" Chen Ao looked cautious and continued: "I'm sorry, my father-in-law came here so far to tell me. My father-in-law first took a sip of tea. I'll talk to you about the treasure appraisal meeting. This matter is a long story. The student still lingers in the style of the eldest prince. That day..."
Wang Han dared not drink his tea? This kid was digging a hole for someone, asking the eldest prince for rewards, and asking the Mijia to go and say that the Mijia didn't even have a big fuck in the palace. Who would you dare to tell anyone? He hurriedly said, "The Mijia still has official duties. Next time I will listen to Mr. Chen's teachings, say goodbye, say goodbye. Mr. Chen doesn't have to send him, don't have to send him, as the future is long."
Chen Ao still sent him out of the door, but on the way back, he was wondering, the state banquet? Which state banquet is there? Why did I ask this young master to attend? It was actually the emperor's old man who spoke in person? Could it be that the Hongmen Banquet?
Then, Chen Ao smiled. The Hongmen Banquet may not be the case. If the emperor really wants to mess with him, does it still need to hold a Hongmen Banquet? Just pinch your fingers.
In the next two days, Chen Ao focused on studying the meaning of the scriptures without distraction. The skills of the meaning of the scriptures are still practiced, constantly doing the questions, and then constantly correcting them. Now it happens to be a holiday, so you can learn more from Chen Ji. Time flies, and Chen Ao's time cannot be delayed.
In this era when everything is inferior and only has high school education, relying on cleverness will always be just an embellishment. If you want to change your destiny, you will still have the only way to get the imperial examination.
Chen Ji wrote this time: "Who is the woman and Hui Ye Reaper", which is excerpted from the Analects of Confucius. The original words are: Zi said to Zigong, "Who is the woman and Hui Ye Reaper?" He replied, "How dare you look back when you hear me? You hear me to know ten, and you hear me to know two." The Master said, "It's not like this, but I am not like this with my daughter!"
It means Confucius said to Zigong: "Who is worse than Yan Hui?" Zigong said: "How can I compare with him! He can hear one and know ten, but I can only hear one and two." Confucius said: "It's not as good as Yan Hui, and I are not as good as Yan Hui!"
A very simple sentence, but you have to write an article around this sentence, say some great principles, and pay attention to format and fill in rhetoric. The difficulty can be imagined. This question is obviously a bit difficult than the meaning of the classics written by Chen Ao’s test. The question during the test still has the main theme, but this test question is ambiguous and makes people unable to grasp the key points.
Chen Ao thought about the topic for a few hours before he found a topic with his pen in hand. He wrote: Who is more asking about the wise man, and wants to reflect on himself? Who is Master Gong or Yan Yuan? Doesn’t Master know about it? He asked about his son Gong, don’t he want to reflect on himself?
The key points that Chen Ao grasped from the title are "who is better" and "self-reflection". The former is the actual word in the title, and the latter is the meaning in Zhu's notes, that is, "watch how he knows it himself"? "Who is better" is to compare Zigong and Yan Yuan, and "self-reflection" is to inspire Zigong's understanding, why should he inspire him, etc.
With this problem solving, you can discuss it from here, that is, when following the problem, just focus on how to learn and inspire it.
Although this problem is cliché, it will not lose points. It is considered a middle-class and medium-range approach. As for the subsequent questions, starting, starting, leading, setting, passing, and receiving, it is much simpler. With the beginning, the subsequent articles only need to be filled in continuously according to the theme.
After finishing writing this sutra, Chen Ao found that it was dawn. One sutra was thinking all night long. In the face of selflessness, Chen Ao was both tired and excited. Every little progress made him feel fulfilled, and this sutra almost played his best. Compared to this problem, if it were a month ago, he would only have a dark look, but with Chen Ji's guidance, he not only had a broad mind, but also gradually had his own style when he made an article. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and with Chen Ji, such progress can only be described by speed.
Chen Ao dried the ink traces, but he didn't feel any trouble at all. He excitedly folded the article and went straight to Chen Ji's residence.
Now that he is familiar with Chen Ji, Yunnu is also familiar with him. He no longer has a stern face, nor does he stop him. When he sees Chen Ao, he just smiles and goes to do the job quietly.
Chen Jixian just woke up and saw Chen Ao coming to visit him quickly, and immediately cheered up. Although there was still a look of arrogance in his face, he was much gentler. He stretched out his hand and said, "Can the article be written?"
Chen Ao hurriedly said, "It's done, teacher, please see."
After Chen Ao said that, he took out the article and spread it in front of Chen Ji. Chen Ji nodded with an appreciation look. Chen Ao is a good student, willing to work hard and has excellent qualifications. This problem was developed by Chen Ji for a long time. Chen Ao was able to write the article overnight. It was already quite amazing.
He lowered his head to read Chen Ao's answer sheet, Chen Ji exclaimed and said, "You can solve the problem by being familiar with yourself and reflect on yourself, but it is a very good rule. If I were a man, I would rather choose to start the problem with one and two, and one and ten."
Chen Ao's eyes lit up, and he knew two with one and ten with one. It was not that he had thought about it, but it was too difficult to solve the problem, so he chose to give up. Could it be that Teacher Chen had some novel thinking, and then said: "It's just like this, it's not easy to follow the question."
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "The Master said, "How can I know? Is it ignorant? The key is the word "know". Why can someone know ten with one, but some people only know one, two with one, and if the title is unfolded here, wouldn't it make people's eyes shine? It can also avoid being clichéd."
After Chen Jiyi reminded him, Chen Ao immediately understood and said happily: "When the teacher said this, the students suddenly became enlightened. With this word "know", it became easier to solve the problem. Alas, the students thought about it all night but didn't expect it."
Chen Ji said seriously: "You have made great progress in your studies, but you cannot study hard. You need to experience it with your heart. In this way, your thinking will not solidify. You should experience it well."
Chen Ao nodded, Chen Ji continued to read the article, and then pointed out several shortcomings and scolded: "This article is good, but in the imperial examination, it can only be listed in the third grade at most, especially the few mistakes and omissions in the subject, which makes it too stiff when taking over. Oh, take it back and write it again."
Chen Ao was speechless and a little disappointed, so he had to put away his answer sheet awkwardly and said, "The students will come to submit the questions in a few days. The state banquet is coming tomorrow, and the students will go to the banquet, but I am afraid they will not come again."
After hearing this, Chen Ji frowned and said, "State Banquet? You are just a student, and you don't have to study hard, what should you do when you attend the state banquet?"
Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "This is what the official family means, and students are helpless."
