Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 15 Apprenticeship
Yu Honggao thought he could use the master-student relationship to restrain Shi Zhongkui.

Afterwards, not only did he turn his attitude 180 degrees, but he also took the trouble to tell him that Ying Tianfu is the magistrate below the capital, and his preferences in the article.

And probably because he was really happy, he asked the butler to go to the study room, and took out all the annotations he had made by his teacher and his own when he was studying for talent examinations and raising people.

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

But Yu Honggao's actions made Shi Zhongkui unable to hate him.

Instead, I want to thank him in my heart.

Although there is no jinshi exam, there will be materials for the exam.

But the dozen or so annotations and manuscripts in his hand can be said to be cheat books for exam questions, treasures that countless poor students can't dream of.

It can even be used as a family heirloom.

This affection is not insignificant.

But Shi Zhongkui also knew in his heart that money or family fans are easy to talk about, but it is 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 recliner with your eyes closed, and read a book in the space with your thoughts.

This method was accidentally discovered when he prepared the Four Books and 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 the source, he still wanted to compare it with the original book so as not to make mistakes.

But I didn't expect that the Analects of Confucius in the space farm would automatically open when I moved my mind.

This is absolutely tantamount to cheating in the examinations of Xiucai and Juren.

After waiting for a few more days, at the beginning of March, Shi Zhongkui hired a carriage with a 20-jin bag of rough noodles as reward.

Packed with 10 catties of rough noodles, 10 catties of preserved peaches, 10 catties of dried persimmons, and [-] catties of dried dates.
In addition, in order to practice calligraphy and deepen memory, I specially copied the annotations and manuscripts again, and brought them to the home of the county magistrate together with the original manuscripts.

Because it was early in the morning and the sky was not fully lit before we set off.

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

After being picked up by the housekeeper, the things were directly put into the library.

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

Not to mention hundreds of catties of grain and preserved fruit, even if it was ten times more, no one would say anything.

Of course, no one would foolishly send a thousand catties of grain.

Instruct the housekeeper not to wake up Yu Honggao in a hurry, and the housekeeper saw that he came to deliver things so early to avoid being seen.

I couldn't help feeling a good impression of Shi Zhongkui, which immediately went up several steps.

However, thinking of just eating, I felt a little disgusted with him.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care either, the purpose of giving 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 be inferior in taste to the snacks purchased by the palace.

Besides, the real gift is the two fans in my sleeves.

Since Yu Honggao's goal was the fans, Shi Zhongkui certainly wouldn't give him all the fans at once.

The more entangled and reluctant he is, but he really sends out the fan, the more Yu Honggao will cherish it.

Then he made suggestions for his road to the imperial examination, and even gave pointers in person.

As a senior who was born No. 5 in the top two ranks, the experience in Yu Honggao's head is more important than annotations and manuscripts.

Moreover, he also left behind the experience of the test.

If you pay, I will pay in return. It is simple and clear, and you don't have to take the risk of a lawsuit to snatch other people's ancestral treasures.

Yu Honggao's method is called clever, and it is 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 the butler holding a stack of books.

Waving to let the housekeeper go down, Yu Honggao suppressed the anticipation in his heart.

After receiving his own manuscript, he looked at Shi Zhongkui's handwriting again, and saw that the handwriting was neat and tidy, which was somewhat improved compared to the handwriting in the county examination.

Fu Xu couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's not bad, it looks like you put your heart into it."

"Students have to write about their mentors. They have been copying and thinking about it for the past few days. The more they sink into it, the more they feel that they only memorized memorization in the past, but did not know the meaning and truth of the book."

Yu Honggao nodded again, and heard Shi Zhongkui say, "The manuscript in the teacher's hand is the manuscript copied by the student for the second time.

If you have something in your heart, you will naturally make some progress. "

After hearing this, Yu Honggao was surprised. It was not difficult to just copy the books.

But if it is true as what Shi Zhongkui said, it is impossible to get up quickly if you write while immersing yourself in the articles and annotations.

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

But before he started to take the school examination, Shi Zhongkui said, "Students have nothing to repay, but they can only serve in front of their teacher and listen carefully to their teachings."

After finishing speaking, he took out a long cloth bag from his sleeve, "Teacher, these are two newer articles from my disciple."

As soon as Yu Honggao saw the shape of the bag, he knew it was a fan.

Hearing Shi Zhongkui's words again, he couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction. This was obviously a gift of fans, but it was spoken in a fashion.

"Sit down first, and wait for me to take a closer look before talking."

This waited for at least two sticks of incense, that is, more than half an hour.

Only then did Yu Honggao put away his fan and sat on the official hat chair to think for a while.

He found more than a dozen articles from the bookshelf, put them on the desk, and stared at Shi Zhongkui without speaking.

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

In other words, the stack of papers on the desk is quite important to him.

For the next hour or so, the more Yu Honggao asked, the more frightened he became.

I thought that Shi Zhongkui could only memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and the answers to the county examination questions were quite satisfactory, so he was chosen as the head of the case, except for the reason of the fan.

It was precisely because of the rules and regulations, and there was no mistake, that he chose the head of the case without worrying about being discussed.

But I didn't expect that it was only 7 days, not only memorized all the notes, but also really had my own understanding.

How can this be?

Moreover, I heard that he was nicknamed Stone Nervous before, it was just a wrong name, not a wrong nickname, which means that Shi Boqian was not like this before.

"Bo Qian, I heard before that you are not very good at studies, and although you work hard, it is difficult to learn, but looking at it now, you are hiding your clumsiness?
Or the fear that someone will turn against you? "

coming.

Shi Zhongkui's heart tightened, but he wasn't worried. A talent for reading probably means that no matter in ancient times or modern times, even if he performed beyond ordinary people, he wouldn't cause most people to hate showing off and talent.

And he can also use the excuse that his family is in decline and he has a family heirloom, so he behaves mediocrely.

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

Instead, using a seemingly absurd reason to prevaricate, the more intelligent people like Yu Honggao will not believe it, and then only believe in their own guesses.
