Chapter 340: Word of Mouth (Seventh)

Liu Jin felt a little chilled. This is the reputation. If someone else had cursed him to death, but Wang Hua was the one who accepted his disciples. Ye Chunqiu was the one who came to his disciple. He had to say bitterly: "It's the prince and the prince are honest and well-behaved. Everyone knows that the censors dare not scold him. Ye Chunqiu... cough cough..." When he said these words, Liu Jin felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, but had to continue saying: "Ye Chunqiu has both the contribution of suppressing the Japanese and the Jieyuan of Zhejiang. Moreover, the officials in the cabinet all praised him for his good character and rejected the title, but asked for an imperial edict for his mother, saying that this was great filial piety; he also said that he was trying to save the prince and the prince..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Zhu Houzhao hated Liu Jin's nagging words. It was obviously one sentence, and he insisted on breaking a few words to say it. He cheered up: "No matter what, I will wait for his exam and I will talk about it when I arrive in the capital."

Liu Jin also smiled and said, "Yes, I am looking forward to this exam."

…………………………

The New Year is over. This year, except for guarding New Year's Eve with my father, I went to visit my mentor on the first day of the New Year and had a meal with my mentor. There were not many others walking around.

What made Ye Chunqiu the most depressed was that although he went to pay homage to his mentor, Wang Hua's attitude towards him... well... strange. The teacher's wife also made her feel furious when she looked at her.

What's the problem?

There was also Miss Wang who didn't show up, and seemed to be staying in the boudoir obediently, and the New Year's people did not come out. This made Ye Chunqiu very depressed. I thought about it a few days ago and always felt that her figure appeared in my mind. But now, I seemed to have a taboo on myself. He wanted to stay for one more day. After all, the sons of his mentors were not around. As disciples, those who were during the New Year should be accompanied by one or two more. Unexpectedly, his mentor and his wife kept asking him to go back and review his homework for a good life.

It seems... I hate myself very much. Although it is urgent to take the exam, as for the first day of the Lunar New Year, do I still ask myself to go back to review?

Ye Chunqiu had to return. As for his father, he studied hard every day for several days, and even in the middle of the night he could hear the sound of reciting in his room.

This time... the examiner changed the most about Ye Chunqiu.

Originally, this examiner should not be taught by He Shishi, but in the current subject, the examiner has become He Shishi. This means that the test questions have changed and I have no way of knowing the test questions on the southern list.

It is obviously a delusion to want to "cheate" for my father. Well, let my father take the exam by himself.

The only help Ye Chunqiu could help his father was probably to copy some famous eight-legged essays from later generations to cleanse Ye Jing and broaden his horizons.

The imperial examination is actually very important. This is why, the few poor scholars in high school are often in the Yang family and the Wang family in Yuyao, and father and son are in the list at the same time. In essence, a poor scholar saves a little money, can buy or copy some eight-legged essays for research. How can he compare to the family-learning origin of poetry and books? The collection of books in other people's family has thousands of books, and countless most classic eight-legged essays are included. The children not only have to study hard under supervision, but also browse them every day.

Looking at countless examples of eight-legged essays, it is also a world. In the eyes of farmers who can travel within dozens of miles, his world has only a small county or market. For some people, for example, Wang Shouren is the whole world. To put it bluntly, they are rich in families. He likes military tactics and arranges troops. Ordinary people can only talk about war on paper, but he can travel around Jixian, Datong, and Shanhaiguan for on-site travel and investigation. Wang Shouren was able to become Wang Shouren because his surname was Wang.

There is also Yang Shen, the famous top scholar in later generations. This is probably the case. He was able to write about the rolling Yangtze River flowing eastward. Although he had his smart side, it was essentially because his surname was Yang and he had a cabinet bachelor's father.

What Ye Chunqiu is doing now is to copy all kinds of classic eight-legged essays that he thinks are classic, and then show them one by one to Ye Jing. After Ye Jing read them, he also got a lot of inspiration.

My father was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been a high school scholar at the beginning. Although life had worn away his water chestnuts, Ye Chunqiu provided him with countless resources. Therefore, Ye Jing has been watching the classic works almost every now and then, and he couldn't help but applaud. It turned out that he could solve the problem like this, it turned out that he could still make such a turning point, it turned out that he could still take on it, and many unexpected things appeared in Ye Jing's eyes. This kind of inspiration has a taste better than reading for ten years.

Ye Chunqiu also began to work hard, but his hard work was not about holding books, but about searching for some articles in his mind. Although he had to copy them when he was in the imperial examination, he probably had to copy them. This was not Ye Chunqiu's shamelessness, but a modern man who was ruthless back to this era, really wanted to spend all his time and go to high school in one go. No matter how smart Ye Chunqiu was, he was afraid that he would not have had ten or twenty years of hard work, and he would not even be able to find the real imperial examination.

Ye Chunqiu didn't think he was smarter than the exam masters of this era. Even a person as smart as Wang Shouren, who has been trained with the best resources since childhood, still failed the exam in his twenties. What's more, he was a "scholar" who became a monk halfway.

If he had no brains, Ye Chunqiu would probably be difficult to pass a child test now, let alone be qualified for a metropolitan test.

The only thing he can do is copy when he should copy it, and learn more about the Four Books and Five Classics in daily life so that he will not reveal any flaws when chatting with others.

Just read, read, write and write every day. After the New Year, the Ye family and his son were still enjoying this rare leisure, because at this time, everyone knew that the spring exam was about to come. Whether it was Chen Rong, Zhang Jin and others, they did not dare to disturb them, nor did they waste their homework. As for Huang Xin, although he was not busy with official duties, he was afraid that he would delay Ye Chunqiu's homework. Even a guy like Qian Qian could know that this was a big event for Chunqiu for the rest of his life. He was still counting on Ye Chunqiu to pay back the money. Obviously, if he could be ranked on the list, he would have greater hope of paying back the debt, so he never showed up.

This kind of life seems to be forgotten all of a sudden, which makes Ye Chunqiu very depressed, but it is rare to be free and at ease.

But at this time, my uncle Sun Qi came.

He seemed to be exhausted and did not dare to go to the Imperial College to find someone. He just asked someone to send a message to ask the Ye family to go to where he stayed. This time he brought a lot of things, including various specialties from his hometown, as well as many gifts he brought, and even bedding, a large cart. It was cold. There were always various legends about life in Nanjing in Hexi, most of which were spread by rumors, such as people here in Nanjing do not like to wear heavy clothes, and there were few quilts.
