I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 277
Three days passed in a flash, and the weather became colder and colder. It would not be an exaggeration to say that every drop of water turned into ice.

Fortunately, there is a charcoal basin during the day and a heated kang at night, but when you write with a pen, your hands get cold, but it is much better than when you were at Lao Zhan's house in Jinlin Village.

Zhan Feiyu looked at today's topic: "Yu Ezhi Wine", this sentence comes from "Mencius"

Qiu Jinyu, who was sitting on the side, had already replied loudly: "Yu hates wine and loves good words. Tang Zhizhong, there is no way to establish virtuous people. King Wen treats the people as hurt, looks at the way but does not see it. King Wu does not leak, and does not forget the distance The Duke of Zhou thinks of the three kings, and he does four things; if there is any disagreement, he looks up and thinks about it, day and night; fortunately, he gets it, and sits and waits."

The same little Sanyuan, Qiu Jinyu is completely comparable to Zhan Feiyu in his studies, but Qiu Zongxi's expression is indifferent and alienated.

Looking at absent-minded Yang Xu, Qiu Zongxi suddenly slapped the ruler on the table, and with a bang, Yang Xu who was awakened was shocked.

"What do you mean by this sentence?" Qiu Zongxi's icy voice was filled with anger, as if the ruler was about to be drawn in Yang Xu's hand in the next moment.

Zhan Feiyu sat upright, as if he didn't see Yang Xu's eyes asking for help.

Qiu Jinyu looked at his homework calmly, and Yang Xu glanced sharply. Although he can't write articles at his current reading progress, he knows the interpretation of the original sentences of the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Mencius said that Yu hated good wine, but liked words of value. Tang adhered to the righteous way and was able to promote people with both ability and political integrity. King Wen always treated the people as if they were injured..."

After Yang Xu finished speaking, Qiu Zongxi looked at him coldly, "Since your mind is not calm, then copy the book, copy it ten times or twenty times, and your mind will naturally be calm."

"Yes." Yang Xu, who was caught, dared not refuse. He glanced at Qiu Jinyu gratefully, then sat aside and began to grind and copy books honestly.

"After half an hour, you hand in the article." Qiu Zongxi spoke again.

Even if he didn't like to see the third house, Qiu Jinyu was a junior after all, and he was humble, polite, and elegant. Even Qiu Zongxi, who had a bad temper, couldn't speak harshly to each other, but ignored his existence as much as possible.

Zhan Feiyu nodded. Compared with Qiu Jinyu's speed, Zhan Feiyu was still thinking about how to break through the topic and carry on the topic. Applying the writing methods of his previous life, no matter how the article is, the opening must be amazing. This is the first impression.

The study room was quiet, Yang Xu continued to copy books, Qiu Jinyu was already writing vigorously.

Qiu Zongxi was drinking tea from a teacup, looking at the unhurried little girl, there was a flash of a smile in his always stern eyes. Originally, Qiu Jinyu was asked to train the little girl, but now it seems unnecessary, this girl is stable Can live.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhan Feiyu finally picked up his pen, and it was still in the standard Taige style: the virtuous and sage's heart method, and the inheritance of Taoism.

If a sage is in charge of the Dao, his heart will never escape.From Yu to the Duke of Zhou, why is it the heart?
Breaking the topic and accepting the topic determine the height of the article. No matter whether the person who writes the topic likes or hates wine, there must be a high-level structure. This is the orthodoxy of a sage.

After waiting for a while, Qiu Zongxi finally put down his teacup and walked down. Yang Xu had already copied two pages, and the handwriting was much neater, although it was still too ugly to bear to look at.

As for Qiu Jinyu's calligraphy, it is not the Taige style of the imperial examination, but the Yan style. The shape is new and magnificent, and it can be seen that he has made some achievements in calligraphy.

At the age of 14, he must have worked hard to write a powerful and imposing face, and he is also talented in calligraphy.

Qiu Zongxi thought about it for a while. He also used Yanti when he was enlightened. The Qiu family should still have his own copybooks. Qiu Jinyu also learned Yanti, which is a coincidence.

Standing at the table and watching for a long while, Qiu Zongxi walked away without saying a word. He couldn't help looking at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting in front of the charcoal basin. Thinking of the battle of wits and courage when she was asked to practice calligraphy every day, an inexplicable desire arose. Instead of feeling more concerned.

It's like one is delivered to your door, no matter how good Qiu Zongxi is, he can't look down on it, because it's not a business to catch up.

He spared no effort to persuade Zhan Feiyu, whom he could not avoid, that Qiu Zongxi had already retreated from poaching the wall, and Zhan Feiyu only needed to learn from a teacher. He and Gu Qingzhou taught their own, and there was no rule that they could not worship two teachers.

But what made Qiu Zongxi annoyed and even irritable was that he had "begged for perfection", and this poor girl still refused to agree. Qiu Zongxi was so angry that he wrote three letters and sent them to the scholar's residence in the capital. He didn't mention the life-saving grace back then. Could it be that there is no such thing as Qingzhou.

Qiu Jinyu glanced around and saw Qiu Zongxi standing in front of Zhan Feiyu's table. Annoyance flashed in his eyes, but finally he returned to calm.

Half an hour passed quickly, Qiu Zongxi picked up Zhan Feiyu's article and read it, "Go out, Xiaoyu stay."

"Yes." Yang Xu has long been used to it, and it was the same before Qiu Jinyu came. Grandpa Qiu would teach Xiaoyu alone. Because he doesn't like reading, Yang Xu not only won't be jealous, but feels lucky to have escaped.

"Yes." Qiu Jinyu also responded, and there was no trace of jealousy on his face. He saluted respectfully and followed Yang Xu to exit the study.

As soon as the outsider left, Zhan Feiyu immediately picked up his hand stove, went to the table and poured a cup of pear soup. This leisurely and casual attitude is almost the same as Qiu Jinyu's "respect the teacher and respect the way".

"When a husband thinks to the utmost, his spirit will unite, and if he acts bravely, his spirit will flow. The biography of Yu, Tang, Wenwu and Wu is also in the Duke of Zhou. That is to say, it is known that although the times of birth of several saints are different, their hearts are one. Heart. The old way is the same, so the rule of the three generations flourishes!"

After reciting, Qiu Jinyu looked at Zhan Feiyu who was drinking pear soup with a satisfied face, "You are flattering, and the essence of the whole article lies in the topic and conclusion."

The title of "Yu's Evil Judgment Wine" is straightforward and rude: Dayu doesn't like wine.But if you only write about wine, even if it makes sense, the structure is too small.

The imperial examination is for the selection of officials, and the examiners are all ministers of the court, so Zhan Feiyu puts on a big hat when he breaks the title sentence, "The great sages promote the heart of the sages, and the inheritance of the Taoism is also", so that the pattern is harmonious. I made up my mind to rub it and went up.

As for the following content, it is justified. If the rhetoric is gorgeous, it will be a bonus. Of course, a good article must have a rigorous structure. You can’t hit it with a hammer and hit it with a hammer. If the structure falls apart, this article will be anticlimactic.

Zhan Feiyu is lacking in rhetoric, but after reading the whole article, it gives people a sense of coherence and heartiness, especially her wonderful epilogue,

The thinking of the sages of the past dynasties is so consistent, and how courageous they are in their actions. Yu, Tang, King Wen, and King Wu have been passed down from generation to generation, and it has reached the Duke of Zhou.It can be seen from this that although the sages lived in different times, they had the same concerns.

Thinking through the mind and the same way, the prosperity and prosperity under the governance of Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and Zhou Wenwu are naturally the same.

It's no wonder that Qiu Zongxi wants to dig into the world if he can take an ordinary essay to the height of governing the world. This requires a sophisticated style of writing. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that it would be written by a soft and sticky little girl.

It took almost a quarter of an hour, after Qiu Zongxi commented on the article, he said, "Qiu Jinyu, how did you check?"

The Qiu family was far away in Qianzhong Road, and going out in this freezing weather was a toss, even Qiu Zongxi couldn't receive news from the Qiu family in a short time.

But since he knew that Zhan Feiyu had a connection with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Qiu Zongxi didn't bother to send someone to investigate. With the little girl's tight-knit temperament, she would definitely investigate, and the information about the Forbidden Dragon Guard was absolutely fast and accurate.

"Just repeat the words that praised me again." Zhan Feiyu smiled cheekily. They are also small three yuan, so they must be talented child prodigies.

Besides, the word is like a person, Qiu Jinyu must have worked hard no matter what, so he is not only a child prodigy, but also hardworking, and he comes from the Qiu family. Qiu Jiaerlang, after the imperial examination, with the escort of the Qiu family, it must be a straight career, and the future is limitless.

"The old man asked you if he has any problems?" Qiu Zongxi said angrily, this little girl dared to play tricks on her!
In other words, Yang Xu's elm-headed head didn't have any defenses at all. The timing of Qiu Jinyu's appearance was too coincidental. It might have happened by chance, but at the critical period when the Yang family was about to recover, Qiu Zongxi had to guard against it.

Looking up, Gulu Gulu drank the pear soup in one gulp, Zhan Feiyu said: "I don't know, there is no problem at present, but if he came prepared, it's normal if he can't find out, it depends on what he plans to do .”

If Qiu Jinyu has a problem, then there are only two possibilities: one is to win over Yang Xu and the Yang family; the other is to have bad intentions towards Yang Xu, but Zhan Feiyu sent He Sheng to protect Yang Xu, so Qiu Jinyu wants to do it Can't find a chance either.

After a long silence, Qiu Zongxi still had a straightforward temper after all, and asked bluntly at this moment: "Gu Qingzhou asked you to come to Longyou Road, Xiaoyu, tell the old man the truth, does Gu Qingzhou want to find you a backer, or do you have one?" Two-hearted?"

If Zhan Feiyu was simply asked to help the Yang family, then the Yang family would recover in the future. If Zhan Feiyu was in any danger, the Yang family would definitely not stand by. Gu Xueshi's move was also out of love for his disciples.

As for the so-called two-heartedness, Qiu Zongxi didn't say it clearly, but Zhan Feiyu's intelligence must have guessed that this is the so-called Conglong Gong. If Xueshi Gu wants to support a certain prince, then his purpose of making friends with the Yang family is to establish a relationship with the Yang family. Reserve, then the Yang family also had to be prepared.

Probably startled by Qiu Zongxi's simple and rude question, Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened suddenly, "How could the teacher tell me such a confidential matter? I just received a letter from the teacher asking me to travel and come to visit Xiangwu County by the way. General Yang."

If it was an ordinary disciple, not to mention that Zhan Feiyu was only nine years old, even if she was 19 or 29 years old, it would be normal for Xueshi Gu not to reveal the inside story if Lichu was involved.

But when he thought of Zhan Feiyu's wisdom and closeness to demons, and Gu Xueshi's young age, he was too young to marry and have children, and there was only such a young disciple under his knees. When Zhan Feiyu said that she didn't know anything, Qiu Zongxi would not believe a word.

Zhan Feiyu also knew that although Qiu Zongxi asked this question, it was Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng who really wanted to know the answer, "The teacher doesn't like those princes, so he has absolutely no idea of ​​using Yang Jiabo's meritorious service as a dragon." , Of course, this is my side of the story."

Gu Qingzhou didn't tell Zhan Feiyu clearly, but she knew something from Yin Wuyan, the Holy Majesty is wise and powerful, but it's a pity that several adult princes did not inherit the literary and military strategies of the Holy Majesty.

Although no one is perfect, the king of a country is responsible for the livelihood and safety of tens of millions of people in the Daqing Dynasty. The candidate for the heir must be cautious. This is also the biggest reason why the Holy One has not established a heir these years. Every son is suitable.

Qiu Zongxi almost instinctively wanted to see the truth from Zhan Feiyu's face, but he looked at the little girl wrapped up like a bear holding a hand stove in front of her, blinking her black and round eyes, and smiling cutely. Cute, Qiu Zongxi was immediately discouraged, well, let the Yang family bother with this shit.

……

After leaving the study, Yang Xu let out a long breath. If the injury on his body didn't heal, he would rather increase his martial arts training time every day than stay in the study to study.

"Brother Qiu, come in and have a seat." Yang Xu lives in the north wing of the main courtyard, and will invite Qiu Jinyu to enter the room, "Grandpa Qiu will also teach us our homework in the morning, and arrange the time in the afternoon by ourselves."

"Uncle loves Xiaoyu very much." Qiu Jinyu laughed warmly. The 14-year-old boy Lang was handsome and personable, so there was no jealousy or unwillingness when he said this, it seemed to be just the most common topic.

Yang Xu nodded in agreement, even though we had only been together for more than half a month, he said proudly: "Xiaoyu is the smartest, not only Grandpa Qiu, my grandfather and my father also like Xiaoyu very much. .”

That's all for Old General Yang, he was kind, but Yang Shoucheng had a restrained and serious personality. Even for his son Yang Xu, he seldom praised him, and he didn't show any love on his perennially stern face.

But when Zhan Feiyu was mentioned, Yang Shoucheng laughed several times. Although the smile was extreme, Yang Xu could tell that his father liked Zhan Feiyu very much. That's right, the soft and glutinous little girl, beautiful and It's cute, and anyone who puts it in front of it will like it.

Qiu Jinyu also laughed, "Xiaoyu is indeed the smartest girl I have ever met."

Yang Xu lives in Shitou Village all year round, and he can't play with the children in the village. Although Zhan Feiyu has more playmates recently, men and women are different after all, and Zhan Feiyu is studying every day, so Yang Xu doesn't. I'm ashamed to play with Zhan Feiyu.

But Qiu Jinyu was different. He was a man, and he was well-informed, and his few words aroused Yang Xu's curiosity about the outside world. The two definitely hated each other.

"Master." Qiu Jinyu's book boy Shushan called out from outside the door, and after entering the room, he saluted the two of them, and then replied: "Lian'er is here, and I will be waiting at the back door, saying that I have something important to see Xu Master."

It has been three or four days since Zhang Yiyi was arrested and imprisoned today. County magistrate Zhu is investigating the truth about the killing of the eight rascals, but it was the people from the Marquis of Zhenbian who did it. what come.

But Wu Baihu followed orders, the case was not investigated for a day, Zhang Yiyi couldn't get out of the prison for a day, Yang Xu didn't go to visit the prison in person, but asked Qiu Jinyu to go instead.

The smile on the dark and immature face suddenly disappeared. Yang Xu stood up, his first reaction was that something happened to Zhang Yiyi, and then he forcibly calmed down, but there was still worry and hesitation in his eyes.
