015 Apprenticeship

Yu Honggao thought he could use his master-disciple relationship to restrain Shi Zhongkui.

Then not only did he make a 180-degree turn in his attitude, but he also took the trouble to tell him what Ying Tianfu, the prefect below the capital, liked in the article.

And he was probably really happy, so he asked the housekeeper to go to the study room and take out all the annotations made by his teachers and himself when he was studying for the scholar examination and the examination.

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed, and at the same time he was sure that his mentor wanted more fans.

But Yu Honggao's behavior made Shi Zhongkui hate him.

Instead, I want to thank him in my heart.

Although there is no information about the Jinshi examination, you can still take the test.

But the dozen or so annotations and manuscripts in my hands can be said to be secret books for exam questions, treasures that countless poor students long for.

It can even be used for family heirlooms.

This affection is not small.

But Shi Zhongkui also knew in his heart that money or a family fan was easy to talk about, but it was absolutely impossible for him to lose his future for Yu Honggao.

After attending the thank-you banquet, Shi Zhongkui returned to his home in the capital.

Three days later, I finished copying all the annotations and manuscripts, and silently put the manuscripts into the space farm.

Lie on the bamboo deck chair with your eyes closed and read in space with your mind.

This method was accidentally discovered when he prepared the Four Books, Five Classics and many materials in the space during the county examination.

When he saw the test questions, although he quickly thought of the original text and source, he still wanted to compare it with the original book to avoid making mistakes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought about it, the Analects of Confucius in the space farm would automatically open.

This is absolutely equivalent to a cheating device in the exams for scholars and candidates.

After waiting for a few more days, in early March, Shi Zhongkui hired a carriage with a 20-jin bag of coarse flour as payment.

It contains 100 kilograms of thick noodles, 10 kilograms of preserved peaches, 10 kilograms of dried persimmons, and 10 kilograms of dried dates.

In order to practice calligraphy and deepen my memory, I also copied the annotations and manuscripts again, and brought them to the county magistrate's home together with the original manuscripts.

Because it was early in the morning, we set off before it was fully light.

When we arrived at the county government office, there were basically no people on the street.

After being taken in by the housekeeper, the things were put directly into the storage room.

The reason is that what Shi Zhongkui sent was not money, and Shi Zhongkui was a real disciple.

Let alone hundreds of kilograms of grain and preserved fruits, even if it were ten times more, no one would say anything.

Of course, no one would be so stupid as to send thousands of kilograms of food.

He told the housekeeper not to wake up Yu Honggao in a hurry. When the housekeeper saw him coming to deliver things so early, he also wanted to avoid being seen.

Involuntarily, my affection for Shi Zhongkui rose to several levels.

However, when I thought about just eating, I felt a little disgusted with him.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care either. The purpose of sending the preserved fruit was for the teacher's wife whom he had never met before.

The fruits and vegetables produced in the space will not taste worse than the snacks purchased by the palace.

Besides, the real gift is the two fans in your sleeve.

Since Yu Honggao's goal was the fans, Shi Zhongkui certainly would not give them all to him at once.

The more entangled and reluctant he is, but he actually gives away the fan, the more Yu Honggao will cherish it.

Then he made suggestions for his path to the imperial examination, and even gave him personal guidance.

As a senior who was born as the fifth genuine second-class Jinshi, the experience in Yu Honggao's head is more important than the annotations and manuscripts.

Moreover, he also left behind the experience of being able to take the test.

If you pay, I will pay in return. It's simple and clear. You don't have to risk lawsuits and rob other people's ancestral treasures.

Yu Honggao's method is called clever and just right.

After the sun rose, Yu Honggao dressed neatly, walked out of the bedroom, and saw the housekeeper waiting outside the yard.

Not long after, after having breakfast and waiting in the study for a while, I saw Shi Zhongkui walking in with a stack of books and the housekeeper.

Waving to the housekeeper to go down, Yu Honggao endured the expectation in his heart.

I took my manuscript and looked at Shi Zhongkui's handwriting. I saw that the handwriting was neat and improved compared to the handwriting in the county examination.

He couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, "It's not bad. It looks like he put his heart into it."

"Students also have to write about their mentors. I have been copying and thinking about it these days. The more I sink into it, the more I feel that I have only memorized it in the past, but do not know the secrets and principles of the book."

Yu Honggao nodded again and heard Shi Zhongkui say, "The manuscript in the hands of my teacher is the second copy of the manuscript by the student.

If you gain something from your heart, you will naturally make some progress."

Yu Honggao was shocked after hearing this. It was certainly not difficult to just copy the book.

But if it is true as Shi Zhongkui said, if you are immersed in articles and annotations while writing, it is impossible to get up quickly.

Copying it twice in seven days is equivalent to reviewing it twice, which is a bit unusual.

But before he could start taking the exams, Shi Zhongkui bowed and said, "Students have nothing to repay. They can only sit in front of their teachers and listen carefully to their teachings."

After saying that, he took out a long cloth bag from his sleeve and said, "Teacher, these are two recent articles by my disciple."

When Yu Honggao saw the appearance of the bag, he knew it was a fan inside.

Hearing Shi Zhongkui's words again, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. This was obviously a gift of fans, but he said it in a timely manner.

"You sit down first and wait until I take a closer look."

The wait lasted for at least two sticks of incense, which meant more than half an hour.

Yu Honggao put away the fan with some unfinished thoughts and sat on the official hat chair to think for a while.

He found a dozen articles from the bookshelf and placed them on his desk. He stared at Shi Zhongkui but said nothing.

After a while, Shi Zhongkui heard a sentence and instantly understood that Yu Honggao was testing himself.

In other words, the pile of paper on the desk is quite important in his heart.

For more than an hour, Yu Honggao asked more and more, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.

I thought Shi Zhongkui could only memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and his answers to the county examination questions were quite satisfactory, so I chose him as the head of the case, except for the fan.

It was precisely because he was on the right track and made no mistakes that he chose the head of the case without having to worry about being criticized.

But I didn't expect that it would only be 7 days. Not only did I memorize all the annotations, but I actually gained my own understanding.

How can this be?

Moreover, I heard that he was nicknamed Shi Duzi before, but this was only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. In other words, Shi Boqian was not like this before.

"Boqian, I heard before that you were not very knowledgeable and that although you worked hard, it was difficult for you to learn, but now I see that you are hiding your clumsiness?

Or are you afraid that someone will target you?"

coming.

Shi Zhongkui felt nervous, but he was not worried. If you have a talent for reading, no matter ancient or modern times, even if your performance is beyond ordinary people, it will not cause most people to dislike showing off and talent.

Moreover, he could also use the excuse that his family was in decline and he had an heirloom, so he behaved mediocrely.

But since Yu Honggao guessed it like this first, Shi Zhongkui felt that he couldn't say it directly.
