Prime Minister

Chapter 34
Zhang Yue still copied books in the daytime, and after Shen Shi, he went to study at the Rijintang Hall.

And Guo Lin finally collected enough money. After copying books for several months, he collected more than eight coins. Zhang Yue also gave all the two coins that he had saved these days to his wife as a 'pre-deposited tuition'.

After this, I finally got enough money.

In order to cure Guo Xuejia's illness, the village spent a lot of money, and hired a well-known clerk from the county seat.Because the county seat is too far from Wuxi, Lang Zhong was reluctant to come, but the village took a lot of talk and raised the consultation fee tenfold, which made Lang Zhong agree.

Along the way from the village to the county seat, the village sent several waves of people to receive them.Guo Lin left early in the morning to go to the county seat to accompany him, while a villager next to him was carrying food burdens.

This man was about to rest after walking for a while, so Guo Lin brought out good wine and good food for him. He didn't touch a bite himself. The ferry had to be told beforehand not to ride with others. Finally, it took three or four breaks in a row to invite the doctor. Come to Wuxi.

The other party walked more than ten miles of mountain road, treated Guo Xueji for less than a moment, and went back after prescribing a few patches of medicine.

Anyway, no matter if the disease is good, if it is not good, it will be so frustrating. Fortunately, after Guo Xueyan took the medicine for a few days, his condition has stabilized.

But such a trip is a lot of labor, medical fees, and medicines in the future, and the money flows like water.Guo Xueyan was still unable to teach, so Guo Lin and Zhang Yue were still learning to copy books from the Zhang clan.Guo Xuejia often lamented that Guo Lin made more money from copying books than he taught, but it was not a long-term solution.

However, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin both persuaded Guo to be a good student and raise him, so there is no need to worry about it.

After Guo Xue became ill, Guo Lin didn't have time to read books every day. He just copied books in a small study day after day.He often rubbed his eyes, Zhang Yue advised him to rest more, he said nothing.

After transcribing the article every day, Guo Lin was exhausted and powerless when he returned home. No matter how strong the will, he could not resist the physical and mental exhaustion and continue to read.

In this way, Guo Lin's academic work finally came to a standstill, and it was unsustainable.

Zhang Yue went back every night to read the Book of Changes, including the Book of Filial Piety, Lun, Meng, and Erya that he had read in the past. After reviewing it again in six extra hours a day, he wrote down what he didn't understand.

Such days go by day by day.

After the winter, the temperature plummeted and the mountains were cold. Although there was no snow in the county town, there were two light snowfalls in the mountains.In the weather after the snow, although it did not drip into ice, the inkstone pond of ethology will form a thin layer of ice every morning.

When copying the book, the ink in the inkstone accidentally froze ice. At this time, Zhang Yue had to bring the inkstone to the stove and wait for the ice to melt.

The most uncomfortable thing was that his fingers couldn't stretch and flex. After copying for a while, his hands were frozen. Zhang Yue had to rub his hands together, and then took it to his mouth and breathed.

If he had spare time to copy books every day, Zhang Yue borrowed books from Zhaifu to read.

What Zhang Yue read is not the classics, but he covers a wide range of subjects. If there is something he doesn't understand, he will wait until the next day to ask Zhang Youzhi for advice.

After the Book of Changes, Zhang Yue studied the Book of Books by himself.Books are also books.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Four Books were compared to cooked rice, and the Five Classics were compared to raw grains.According to Zhu Zi's reading order, scholars first read the Great Learning, Analects of Confucius, Mencius, and Doctrine of the Mean, and then read the Five Classics.

In the Three Character Classics, there is also the passage of filial piety, and the four books are familiar.Such as the six classics, before reading'.

In this era, the "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" have not been extracted from the "Book of Rites", and Mencius has not been elevated to the status of the classics.Therefore, Zhang Yue studied in the order of Filial Piety, Analects of Confucius, Erya, Yijing, and then Shangshu.

The Shangshu does not have as many meanings as the Book of Changes, but each sentence is so difficult to read.

Not to mention memorizing some words, I don't even know how to read them. It's the first time I've seen them in my life.There are some words that I recognize, but I don't know how to read.

In this era, without Baidu, it is very difficult for Zhang Yue to learn Shangshu by himself.Fortunately, there are books such as "Jade Chapter" and "Classic Interpretation" in the study room, which Zhang Yue can check if he changes his hand.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin went early this morning. There was a heavy snowfall in the mountains last night. At this moment, the sky was still covered with red clouds. After winter, the mountains were swept by strong winds from time to time, and the roads were covered with snow. Fall into the valley below the cliff.

When Zhang Yue and Guo Lin arrived at the library, their noses and faces were bruised.

The minister granddaughter in front of the pavilion was waiting there holding a large chessboard.

"Little brother, little brother!" The little girl beckoned from a distance.

"Can we play chess?"

"Playing chess?" Zhang Yue felt a little nauseous when he heard the words. He drew a chessboard all night last night, so he couldn't see anything with a 'Well' structure now.

As for the little girl, after being taught by Zhang Yue in the past few days, she became addicted to playing it, so she took the Go board to play with him every day.

"Little brother is going to sweep the snow today!" Zhang Yue said.

It snowed last night, and the ground was very slippery. Zhang Yue took the initiative to take over the job because he was getting old.He touched the cold broom, and his fingers felt like tearing pain.

Zhang Yue picked up the broom and went out, but when he saw the little girl falling behind him, he held the chessboard and looked at him resentfully.

"It was agreed yesterday that I will play five games with me today."

Zhang Yue looked at his senior brother, who had no idea where he had gone.It seems that the senior brother is also wise to eat a cut!

Zhang Yue said: "Wait until I clear the snow!"

"Take this to me again, you unconscionable scumbag!"

Zhang Yue's vest shrugged, what?Do little girls have such a big vocabulary these days?

Zhang Yue braved the cold wind to sweep the snow inside and outside the pavilion door clean, and his body was soaked with sweat when he moved, but his hands hurt even more.

When the ministry came from a distance, he saw the scene of Zhang Yue sweeping the snow.

"Grandpa, little brother, he has no heart for me!" The little girl complained to the ministry as soon as she came.

"Why do you feel guilty? I'll teach him a lesson." The professional accident sullen.

"He said yes, not to play chess with me?"

"Haha." The minister smiled, and then said to Zhang Yue in awe: "Professor asked you to go to Zhaiju!"

"Don't know what?"

"Just go."

Zhang Yue immediately put down the broom and hurried to the school. The minister looked at Zhang Yue's back with a slight smile.

After arriving at Zhaiju, Zhang Yue saw Zhang Heng as well as Zhang Youzhi.

Zhang Yue saluted the two of them and said, "I have seen Mr. Zhaichang."

The professor smiled and said, "Sit first."

Zhang Yue nodded and sat down.

Zhang Heng wanted to speak, but saw Zhang Youzhi said to Zhang Heng: "Speak slowly, don't scare him."

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, but when he saw Zhang Heng, he said, "How long have you been at our Zhoujintang?"

Zhang Yue said, "It's almost April."

"April!" Zhai Chang nodded.

"I don't know if you did something wrong after learning?" Zhang Yue asked nervously.

Zhang Youzhi smiled and said: "No, it's only four months, but your words are completely different from before!"

It turned out to be this.

Zhang Yue's heart was relieved, and then he said: "After school, I usually neglected to practice. I have copied a lot in the past few months, so the writing is good."

It is said to be four months, but it is actually eight months. I practice during the day and at night, and in terms of learning effect, it is not one plus one equals two, but one plus one less than two.Because practicing for five hours today and practicing for five hours tomorrow will definitely not be as effective as practicing for ten hours a day.

Why Zhang Yue can know so clearly, the children's shoes who have experienced the final exam of the university understand this truth.

Moreover, the efficiency of practicing calligraphy in dreams is particularly high. Zhang Yue felt that his four-month practice of calligraphy was equivalent to two years of other people's efforts.

Zhang Youzhi said gently to Zhang Yue: "I have discussed with the head of the house, and from today onwards, I will give you an extra page and three and a half coins!"

"Thanks to the professor after school!" Zhang Yue was very excited, it was all money.

Moreover, it was obtained by copying and practicing calligraphy.

Zhang Youzhi smiled and said: "Don't thank me, this is the matter of the head of Zhai and the old man, otherwise the old man would not know."

Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Heng, and he said lightly: "It's not what I meant, it was mentioned to me in the study record, and I'll report it to Mr.

"Thank you, Chief Zhai."

Zhang Heng laughed and said, "Quan and write it down."

Zhang Youzhi smiled softly and said: "Master Zhai compares your transcripts to the old man about four months ago. It is really a difference between clouds and mud. The old man has never seen anyone who can improve calligraphy so much in his life. What tips do you have? , can you teach this old man a lesson?"

Zhang Youzhi said it very politely, but such politeness made Zhang Yue a little uneasy.

"This this……"

This makes Zhang Yue explain that it is not good to lie.

Zhang Heng said: "Sir, I think his word is a pro-announcement post! It has the ancient meaning of Jin people! Are there other posts?"

Zhang Yue was full of contempt, Zhang Heng thought that the copybook was a martial arts secret?Whoever has a unique copybook will be invincible all over the world.

Calligraphy is the result of hard work and hard work.

Zhang Yue thought for a while and said, "That's not true, it's just that the teacher didn't teach you how to learn seal art, you must first draw a chessboard and an archery target? When students have free time, they use this to practice calligraphy. "

"This..." Zhang Heng looked surprised, Zhang Yue knew that he must think in his heart, isn't this what Lin Xi said?How can this child really practice.

Zhang You said straightly: "There is no big paper here, you can take a small piece of paper and try it."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Yue sat down, took a brush with the thinnest tube from the pen holder on the desk where the head of the veterinarian was writing and reading on weekdays, and dipped the ink on the paper.

Calligraphy is a wonderful thing. When I first practiced calligraphy, I felt that the pen was unfamiliar, but now Zhang Yue can use the pen well, like a part of the body.

The five fingers are lightly lifted and erected, and they run back to the front, light and agile.It seems that he is a musician with superb skills, playing the most wonderful movement with his pen in the eyes of onlookers.

Zhang Yue wrote nineteen verticals and nineteen horizontals, and drew the chessboard. At the moment of writing, he even forgot the gazes of the two people beside him, and devoted himself to the pen tip paper.

Later, Zhang Yue drew the target again, first the big circle and then the small circle, from big to small.

At this moment, he remembered that when he was in math class, the math teacher drew a circle on the blackboard without the help of a compass. One stroke was a perfect circle.

The circle must be drawn in one go, without any pause, just as you want, and as soon as you want.

After Zhang Yue had painted all ten circles, he was already immersed in his own work. Although it was much worse than Zhang Youzhi's drawing that day, Sheng was a little better today than yesterday.Studying and studying is like this, not seeking fast, but seeking daily progress.

When the next chapter was more satisfied and put down the pen, the room fell into silence.
