Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 48 Open the door to a new world

Shen Chenlan went up the small slope and onto a flat land, which was the small yard in front of Master Xu's house.

Surrounded by bamboo forests, a bamboo shed was built on the left, and a stone table was placed under it. The open space on the right was surrounded by a fence, and several chickens were raised.

There is a mud house in the middle, the wooden door is open, and it seems that someone is talking inside.

Shen Chenlan took a few steps forward, stopped a few meters away from the door, and greeted loudly.

"Master Xu, junior Shen Chenlan is here to visit you today."

The voices in the room suddenly quieted down, and then a woman walked out from the wooden door. Her face was originally calm, but when she saw the person coming with a gift in her hand, she hurriedly raised her smile.

"Come here, why do you still bring a gift?"

Having said that, he took the sugar and jerky in his hand without any hassle.

Then he shouted into the room: "Old Xu, your student has come to see you."

After finishing speaking, the woman looked back at Shen Chenlan again, a little surprised.

She has never seen this student.

When did Lao Xu teach such a student, with such piercing eyebrows, she couldn't have seen them.

But forget it, I know that those who bring gifts are good students.

At this time, Master Xu came out of the room slowly with his hands behind his back. When he saw Shen Chenlan, he froze, but recovered quickly.

He glanced at his wife and saw that she had already taken the gift, so he was ashamed to show Shen Chenlan a cold face, so he said.

"What are you doing here this time?"

Master Xu has a school between the two villages, and any children in the village who need to be enlightened will be sent to him.

His knowledge was just passed the scholar examination, and he was still at the bottom. After that, he took the upper examination several times, but there was no movement, and finally he gave up and returned to the village to teach.

Shen Chenlan saw that Master Xu was straight to the point, so she put the book of poems she had memorized and the key points of the textbooks she had compiled on a stone table in the yard.

Said: "The younger generation wrote a few poems and articles at home, and I would like to ask my master to help me read them."

Most of the key points of the textbooks he compiled and the articles he wrote were around policy theory, which is simply writing papers, but most of the related topics were about people's livelihood.

He had read the previous exam questions, and sometimes he would test farming and planting, focusing on topics such as increasing food production and encouraging people to farm.

Sometimes it will test villagers' fights and disputes, which involves the issue of judging cases by law.

In short, he sorted it out, and it was nothing more than focusing on several major aspects, such as economy, politics, culture, society...etc.

Arguments and arguments are subdivided again from these major aspects.

He came here this time just to confirm that his general direction is correct, and to get some pointers on writing poems.

After all, I have lived for so long as a modern person, and when I talk too much in the vernacular, when I write poems, I always lack a little spirit.

After listening to his words, Mr. Xu didn't hesitate, let him sit down at the stone table, and then began to read the articles he brought over.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but when you look at it, it’s like opening the door to a new world. Some difficult problems that have been accumulated in your mind for a long time, but have never been answered, seem to be enlightened and enlightened all at once.

He cautiously but quickly glanced at the rest of the article, then turned and shouted to his wife in it: "Mother, help me make a pot of tea, I want to have a good chat with the students today."

Shen Chenlan was stunned when he heard this.

Not long after, the wife came out with a large teapot and two teacups, saw that there were papers on the stone table, turned around and moved a low tea table, put it aside, then turned and walked back.
