Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

I didn't eat dinner, I was hungry, and I didn't sleep well this time.

Especially the comfort of ancient beds is worrying. There is no Simmons, no mattress, no soft pillows and quilts, it feels very bad.

The bed was a summer mat made of straw mats. Lying on it, I felt that my naked body was about to slide to the side. The pillow was filled with bran, and when I moved my head, there was a "rustling" sound.

After rolling on it for half the night, I became confused.

When he woke up the next day, Su Mu felt that his eyelids were swollen, and when he looked at Xiaodie again, his eyes were also red, probably because he cried again at night.

Both of them had a tacit understanding that the ancestral hall was opened at noon today, and the property was about to be taken away by someone. As for what Su Mu went to the county government yesterday, and what the result was, Xiaodie didn't ask.From her point of view, although the young master seems to have suddenly become enlightened by a different person, he is just an ordinary person now, who doesn't understand human affairs, and doesn't recognize people, so what can he do?

As for Su Mu, he already had a plan in mind, so he was naturally relaxed.If I can't even pass this level, how can I talk about being successful in this world?

The time to open the ancestral hall was set after lunch. That was because the Su family was originally a big family, and not all the elders of the family lived in the old house. Many people had other properties in other places in Baoding Prefecture after the separation of the family. It will take time to bring everyone together.

Having nothing to do, Su Mu came to the study again, stretched out his hand and took out the books left by his father from the bookshelf, ready to read casually to pass the time.But I didn't expect that the texture of this book was much softer than other books. When I looked closely, it was a hand-copied "The Analects of Confucius".

The paper of this book is not bad, it is all neatly cut, but the words are a bit crumbled, and the writing is crooked and not perfect.

There are also typos and smudges in many places.

Don't think about it, this is my previous handwriting.

Looking at the bookshelf again, there are many other manuscripts of the same type, including "Great Learning", "Mencius", and "The Doctrine of the Mean".

It seems that there are also five classics, and there are a lot of words added together, obviously it took a lot of time.

In my memory, my father's stern face reappeared: "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, copy it, copy it all for me, and then memorize it by heart."

Memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics backwards is the basic skill of scholars in this era.Only when you can recite every sentence by heart, can you talk about understanding and mastery.

It's a pity that Su Mu was born with dementia back then, but he didn't have this ability, and he often suffered from his father's ruler in his daily life.

Look again at the crooked pages of the book, there are a lot of elegant and upright lowercase script in the pavilion style, and there are a lot of densely written, all of which are annotations. Although they are all Zhu Zi's original intentions, they seem to be simple and easy to understand.This is left by his father. It seems that his old man has spent a lot of time on himself.

It's a pity that Su Mu back then was not material for studying at all, no matter how hard he tried to educate him, it was useless.

Su Mu looked at it casually, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "From ancient times to today, for more than 1000 years, the total number of Jinshi in the middle school is only 100. Today's Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 100 million, and it wants to kill a bloody road on the road of imperial examinations." There are at least a million people. The general examination every three years only takes about [-] Jinshi, and the average number is only [-] people per year. If you want to squeeze into the [-] people, you have to go through the county examination, The government examination, the hospital examination, and the township examination are passed step by step. Using the comparison of thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge, it cannot describe the eventuality. How many scholars have been poor for ten years, and they can't even get in the exam, let alone a Jinshi."

"I think my father was a well-known talent in Baoding Prefecture back then. After he won the Juren, he took the exam for three times in one go. After ten years, he still failed. Even my father was like this. Is it possible to be replaced by a stupid son like me?"

"If you invest in everything, you have to see the return on investment. This investment is not worth it!"

Su Muben came from a utilitarian world, and thought it was ridiculous that his father wanted him to study and become an official.

I don't plan to go to the dark on this road, and spend so much energy on an illusory goal. If I do other things, I will already be a successful person.

He is now fully focused on seeing if he can use the knowledge of modern people to make a fortune, such as brewing wine, burning cement, burning glass, etc. Isn't that what the time-travelers in the novel do?

Being idle and bored, Su Mu used to be a lecturer in a university in his previous life, teaching classical literature, and was very interested in Chinese studies, so he held the book and compared the annotations left by his father, and combined with the "Annotations to Zhuzi's Four Books" on his desk, he looked .

After reading two pages, Su Mu realized something was wrong. He often remembered what the next sentence said after reading the previous sentence.Not only the original text of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also Zhu Xi's annotations and father's annotations can be memorized without any mistakes.

This discovery made Su Mu gasp. When he was teaching in a university, the Analects of Confucius was not long, but he could recite the whole text. As for the "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius", let's just skip it.Anyway, when teaching, you only need to take a book and explain the subject according to the text. If it is not possible, you can bring a laptop into the classroom and search a lot of relevant research materials.

"Wasn't that Su Mu a fool before, but how could he be so powerful?"

Sitting blankly on the chair and thinking for a long time, Su Mu smiled and suddenly realized that this matter has to be explained by implicit memory or explicit memory.

That's right, Su Mu was rather stupid back then, but his father spent a lot of effort on him. After more than ten years, Su Mu has memorized all these Confucian classics under his ear-to-mouth order.It's just that he didn't care about it after memorizing it at that time, and he was almost forgotten by him.

But these memorized books did not disappear because of this, but were buried in my mind as useless memories.

Now, this body has changed its owner, and Su Mu is also a book lover.So, for some inexplicable reason, the memorized books resurfaced as useful explicit memories.

"The brain is really the most mysterious organ in the human body. This is interesting!" Su Mu suddenly thought, if he traveled back to the modern society now, he would still be that assistant lecturer.With these memories, it is not difficult to be a professor or even a master of Chinese studies.

This knowledge belongs to my father. In ancient times, a Juren who broke out from the imperial examination field with blood on his knife edge was much better than a modern Chinese expert.

Of course, if I don't review it from time to time in the following days, these knowledge and memories will definitely be regarded as useless information again and gradually forgotten by myself.

No matter what I do in the future, it is always good to be able to recite so many Confucian classics. Besides, I also have a strong interest in Chinese studies, so I might as well read more to pass the boring time in the future.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was lunch time.

According to Xiaodie who came back from the kitchen, all the elders of the clan have come, probably because of their favor, the food in the fourth room is good, today at noon I saw meat, there is a plate of ham, and the rice is also the best polished rice.

Thinking of the upcoming clan meeting, and being a little girl after all, Xiaodie finally couldn't hide the worry on her face, and felt it hard to swallow while holding the rice bowl.

But Su Mu ate happily.

Before the meal was finished, I heard someone laughing outside the door: "Brother, is eating, hurry up, the ancestral hall is open, the elders and the third and fourth uncles are waiting!"

It was Su Ruisheng who spoke. He walked into the room triumphantly, looked down at the two people in the room, and casually cupped his hands: "Brother Yu has seen brother."

He already knew that he was going to be adopted into the eldest room, and he was proud of himself. After lunch, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and ran over to urge him.

"Dang!" With a sound, the rice bowl in Xiaodie's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Su Mu frowned, and turned to look at Su Ruisheng with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

It's a pity that Su Ruisheng didn't see this smile, so he waved his fan triumphantly, and scolded Xiaodie: "You little girl is so careless, why are you so careless? Well, today is a big day for my Su family, so I don't care about you , if you commit the crime again in the future, you will never be forgiven lightly."

Xiaodie's body trembled slightly, squatting on the ground, holding a piece of broken porcelain in her hand.

Su Mu said indifferently: "Ai Sheng, you are so majestic before you have adopted the big house!"

Su Rui let out a heck of a voice: "Brother was dumbfounded for a while, and he won't be able to keep up the appearance in the future. If you spread the word, won't others laugh at our Su family. Don't worry, there will be a younger brother in the future! I will move here tonight. By the way Xiaodie, this young master will not bring anyone here, so you can be my personal servant girl from now on!"

After speaking, his eyes fell on Xiaodie warmly, and his heart was moved, this little maid is really good.At the beginning, she was just a yellow-haired girl at home, she was inconspicuous at all, so she was sent to the idiot.But I don't think that three years later, she will be so beautiful, it's really a girl's [-]th change!Idiot Su is lucky, such a beautiful woman is now taking advantage of me.As soon as I passed the room, this little girl fell into my hands, and she didn't follow our temperament to get whatever I wanted.

Simply, break her body tonight.

Thinking of this, Su Ruisheng could only feel a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't hold it back any longer.

Xiaodie was startled, the tile in her hand cut her finger, and a trace of blood flowed out.
