Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

What Su Mu thought of just now was: there is still one month left for the township examination, but unfortunately, he has not made any preparations, if he takes the examination now, he will be a failure.

When he learned about the "Journey to the West" case and the Lin family's study was confiscated, Su Mu's first reaction was that something bad was going to happen, and he wanted to escape from Beijing as soon as possible, as far as possible.

It's just that because the money on his body has been spent, even if he wants to run away, he has no travel expenses, so he is trapped in the capital.

But today, by accident, he went to the Ministry of Rites to register, and learned from Hu Jinxue that the case had been concluded and had nothing to do with him.

In this way, he doesn't have to wander around the world as a refugee.

In this way, he used to rely on the imperial examination to enter the test, and his life ideal of being an official can be realized again.

Life cannot be without ideals. When he decided to give up the imperial examination, Su Mu was very depressed.Although he lives in poverty, he still has the confidence to earn a fortune within a year and join the ranks of the middle class. In the future, it is very possible to become a wealthy businessman with the knowledge of modern people.However, without pursuit and ideal days, no matter how rich you are, it is meaningless.

After hearing the news, Su Mu's first reaction was ecstasy, and he could take the imperial examination again.

The second reaction was surprise: "Oops, I've been thinking about how to earn enough money to escape to the south these days. I haven't read a single page of the book, and I haven't entered the exam state yet. Besides, I already know the exam questions in advance. It’s different, I don’t even know what will be tested in this township examination. In fact, there is an element of luck in passing three passes in the boy’s examination. In fact, if you rely on your own true ability, you may not be able to pass.”

"Now this rural exam, you can only take the exam based on your real skills."

Mr. Shao is not around, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, he can only rely on his own groping and reviewing. So, is he sure to pass the exam?

Su Mu was worried for a while, but fortunately he had only been in Beijing for a day and a night, and now there was still time to study, so do your best and obey the destiny!

Go buy a few anthologies of contemporary anthology to read first, and touch the gun before the battle, it will always be of some use.

For Su Mu, this township examination was a real test after he traveled to the Ming Dynasty. As long as he passed it, he would have a great future. Being a Jinshi is as simple as drinking water.

So, he asked Hu Jinxue to borrow some money, hurried to the bookstore, bought several collections of contemporary essays, and prepared all the sample essays for the previous two Chinese-style rural examinations.

Su Mu and Hu Jinxue are not brothers, they are better than brothers, and his money is also Su Mu's, but Su Mu still does not plan to renege on the debt, and he will have to pay him back if he has the opportunity in the future.

When I got home, it was already dark.

Xiaodie waited impatiently, and when she saw Su Mu coming home, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked him where he had been.

Su Mu smiled and said, "Where else can I go, I went to the Ministry of Rites and reported my name?"

"Sign up, what's the name?" Xiaodie didn't respond for a while.

"Don't you want to take part in the provincial examination? I'll report my name." Su Mu took out the diploma and handed it to Xiaodie along with the money, asking her to keep it and don't lose it.

"Country...country examination, young master, you want to participate in the country examination..." Xiaodie stuttered, the money was heavy, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a lot of money, and she was even more surprised: "Where did you get the money?"

Su Mu went to the Meridian Gate today to meet Sun Chen, was forced to sign up, and later went to see Hu Jinxue to understand the case - Xiaodie explained clearly.

After Xiaodie heard it, she knew that her young master was fine, and her voice choked up with joy: "It's pitiful, it's finally a rescue from a desperate situation, this time is good, this time is good. These days, the young master is depressed, Xiao Butterfly is also very sad."

Su Mu touched her hand and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay."

God is pitiful, I finally got through the difficulties smoothly, but it feels very bad to be manipulated by God.

Su Mu first realized: there are too many taboos in this feudal society, and there is no clear definition of personal behavior laws. You don’t know when you will do inappropriate things. This is the so-called society ruled by man. specialty.Take this incident as an example, it is just a novel, if others know that it was written by me, Su Mu, I am afraid that I have already been expelled from the fame and sent to Datong to be with Boss Lin as a companion.

But if I am already a Jinshi now, even if I am a member of the Hanlin Academy, and I am famous all over the world, even if everyone knows that the book was written by me, with the ability of a civil servant in the Hongzhi Dynasty, would Dongchang dare to cause trouble?

Even if you have the heart to handle the case, a dignified academician, without the emperor's nod, would others dare to move?

In the final analysis, my status is still not noble enough, and I have no official position.

So, start working hard from now on and get a champion!

Xiaodie wiped her eyes for a long time, then laughed, happily arranged dinner for Su Mu.

After eating, Su Mu read for more than an hour, Xiaodie came over to wash his feet, and gently wiped his feet: "Master, don't work hard, there is still a month to go before the exam, go to sleep!"

At this moment, Su Mu's heart was full, and he couldn't help but joked with Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, we are safe and sound this time, it seems that we need to celebrate."

Xiaodie: "How to celebrate."

"Just sleep in a bed today."

"Ah!" Xiaodie blushed in shock.

Su Mu laughed loudly, stood up, and lay down on the floor: "I'm not a tiger, what are you afraid of, don't worry, you still sleep on the bed."

Without the trouble of the "Journey to the West" case, Su Mu slept very soundly at night, and got up late the next morning, around ten o'clock in the morning.

Today is cloudy, nice and cool.

Su Mu asked Xiaodie to move the table, sat in the courtyard and read the essays for a long time, then chose a model essay on Jieyuan, and pondered for a long time.Mr. Yi Shao, with this topic, try to do it in reverse.

Anyway, it's just an offensive with a sea of ​​questions. I write a few articles every day and do a lot of homework. After all, I have to hit one question.

Now that there is no guidance from a famous teacher, I can only use this stupid method.

In fact, this method is also good, but it is a summary of previous experience.

Seeing the young master studying hard, Xiaodie was also very happy, so she stood aside and waited carefully.

Su Mu's plan was to read books for half an hour every morning and recite a few Confucian classics.Then read a few contemporary articles and write an interview.

In the afternoon, read a few more model essays and do two random questions.

In the evening, I wrote a [-]-character "Dream of Red Mansions".

The studies are already so stressful, it stands to reason that Su Mu should not think about writing novels anymore.

But Su Mu thought about it for a long time last night. In fact, he was not sure about the provincial test. With luck, he might pass.But if he is unlucky and fails the list, he will have to wait for three years.In the past three years, the food and food for myself and Xiaodie have all depended on this book.

At present, the bookstore does not accept books, but as long as the wind dies down, manuscripts will still be accepted.

As a modern person, no one knows the value of "Dream of Red Mansions" better than Su Mu. As long as readers read a few chapters, they have to obediently fall into it.Especially the women in the deep house compound, just like losing their souls if they don't read Baoyu for a day.

For this book, Su Mu roughly estimated that it is still possible to earn several thousand taels.

To be on the safe side, I still have to save some manuscripts first, so as not to be caught off guard if I win the Juren in the future.

As a result, Su Mu's schedule is full, and there is almost no rest time. Starting tomorrow, it is impossible to sleep in.

There was no way to write a composition this morning. Su Mu read a few pages and it was time for lunch.

After eating, take a short rest and start the afternoon homework.

A while ago, Su Mu took Xiaodie to visit mountains and rivers in Shandong, and he hadn't written stereotyped essays for a few days. This time, when he picked up the pen again, his hands were a little jerky, and he was not satisfied with the writing. He always felt that something was wrong.

An [-]-character article was also revised and revised, and the paper was full of smudges.

Su Mu sighed a little, and couldn't help muttering: "No, no, this is three days without practicing hand skills."

Xiaodie gently fanned Su Mu, and comforted: "Master, you are a well-known talent in Baoding, no matter how you write, you are excellent."

"You are illiterate, how do you know if my writing is good or not?" Su Mu smiled wryly, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Why haven't I seen Mr. Wu in the past two days? Has he been back?"

Xiaodie curled her lips: "I haven't seen anyone before, so I guess I haven't come back."

Just as he was talking, Su Mu saw someone walking in from the outside, it wasn't Zhu Shou, whoever it was.

This guy is really endless, Su Mu frowned unknowingly: I am also busy, I taught him how to do horse stance yesterday!

"So it was Zhu Shou who came."

"Please call me General Zhu." Zhu Houzhao walked with a limp today, and besides the dead eunuch Liu Ban, he also brought two guards behind him.

Zhu Houzhao yelled at the two guards: "You don't have to come in, don't you see it's crowded here, wait outside."

"Yes." The three went out unwillingly.

"What's wrong with your leg?" Seeing him walking limply like a hozen, Su Mu suddenly thought of Sun Houzi, feeling as if.However, this monkey is too strong!

"What else can I do? It's just a prick. Ziqiao, after I went back yesterday, I pricked it a few more times. I woke up this morning and my whole body was sore and sore."

"Are you striding away again at night?"

"Yes, it lasted for another hour."

Su Mu opened his mouth wide in surprise, this child is really hardworking: "Why bother, why bother?"

Zhu Houzhao looked excited: "Zi Qiao, don't say it, your method is good. I have seen other guards swaying horses before, but most of them only take half a stick of incense, but I can get a stick of incense every time I do it. It seems that it is indeed a real kung fu. No, I have to come to you every day to learn kung fu."

Su Mu's head got bigger: I am in a hurry to study and prepare for the exam, who has the time to teach you martial arts, besides, I don't understand either!

"No time, I want to study."

"What are you doing reading, how boring is it?"

"My General Zhu, you have a noble status. Even if you don't do anything, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. I'm a poor scholar. If I don't take the exam to be a Juren, Jinshi, or become an official, what will I eat and drink?" Su Mu raised the book in his hand. : "The township exam is coming soon, don't you know?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the yard and nodded again and again: "You are indeed poor enough, why don't I pay some tuition fees."

Pay money and feel good.Su Mu's eyes lit up, but then he thought about it, this guy is a son of the clan, there must be no shortage of masters around him, if I teach him carelessly, I will definitely be exposed in the future, and it will be another trouble.Besides, I, Su Mu, can't do deceitful things.

"I don't have time, and I can't pay the tuition fee." Su Mu's face was serious, and he picked up a copy of "University" and began to ponder it carefully.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry when he saw that Su Mu ignored him, and he played beside him for a long time.

After all, it was the temper of a young man, who couldn't sit still, so he started punching in the courtyard.

Immediately, the courtyard was filled with the sound of punches and kicks, and he was still drinking.

Xiaodie was even more shocked and nervously blocked her body between Su Mu and Zhu Houzhao, for fear that the fist of the boy surnamed Zhu would greet the young master.

Su Mu was so annoyed by him that he couldn't calm down, and threw the book away: "I'm so annoyed, I teach, I teach."

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed: "Zi Qiao, are you finally willing to teach me real skills?"

Su Mu nodded, asked Xiaodie to move a stool into the room, let him sit down, and threw the "University" over: "The way of learning is to be close to the people and to be good at it. Ask, this verse is the program in the scriptures. Confucius said that there are three principles for adults to learn: one is to understand Mingde. The Ming characters are to use kung fu to understand him; It has all the principles and can respond to all things. But after birth, it is dominated by awe and material desires, and sometimes faints, so it must be the merit of family learning... Okay, let's stop here first, you take what I just said Copy what you said."

As soon as the words fell, an old voice came from the north room, and the voice was quite surprised: "The solution is good!"

It was Wu Laojuren, the father of Wu Laoer who had never shown his face.

Su Mu was also stunned: How did I come up with this sentence... By the way, this is the original text of Zhang Juzheng's explanation of "University". I happened to read it before, and I probably remember the meaning...

But Zhu Houzhao shouted: "I'm here to learn martial arts, how do you teach me to read?"

"If you want to practice magical skills, you must read books first." Su Mu replied seriously.

This kid is really annoying, damn it, don't you want to learn art, I'll fool you first.

Just stay by my side and read and write.

Otherwise, if you do this to me every day, will I still be alive?
