Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

On the second day, Governor Weng really brought a small burden to work.

No need to ask, the package is naturally the "Chronicle Collection" of the past few years.There is also a whole set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which looks very good.

Su Mu played with Governor Weng's inkstone for a while: "It's beautiful, Duanyan?"

"She Yan, look here, there is a point." Governor Weng said proudly, "This was given to me in the same year when I was 30 years old. It is said that I spent two taels of silver when I bought it."

"Good stuff!" Su Mu admired sincerely, and then asked curiously: "Master Weng, why did you bring all the four treasures of the study here?"

Governor Weng: "I have a problem. When I write articles, I pay attention to the environment and mood. I am used to this set of stationery, and I especially like it. When I use it, I also write like a god."

He went on to say: "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. There are still three months before the exam, so hurry up. I haven't finished writing yesterday's article. After you finish writing it, help me read it."

After speaking, I started grinding ink and writing again.

Su Mu didn't delay, picked another topic from the collection, and started to compose.

The other governors came into the hall and saw that Governor Weng and Su Mu were both immersed in writing articles, they all smiled: "Master Weng, Ziqiao, you really need to review your homework!"

Strange to say, Duan Jiong didn't speak sarcastically today, he seemed to have something on his mind, just sat there blankly, drinking tea one after another.

Affected by him, the other governors felt the weird atmosphere and did not speak.

As a result, no one has the heart to handle the government affairs of the entire experience hall, and they all fall to the two book offices.

For the whole morning, everyone looked like they had nothing to do.

Su Mu also felt something: this situation is really a bit like the calm before the storm!Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they were affected by the imperial examination incident, and if they waited a while, something would definitely happen.

"Okay, really good!" Suddenly, Governor Weng let out a small laugh: "Sure enough, it's different to use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I'm used to, but today it's much easier."

Su Mu asked: "Why, is it finished?"

"Yes, it can be regarded as finished. Ziqiao help me read it." Governor Weng rubbed his hands excitedly: "I haven't written an article for two years. I am still a little worried when I get started. But I don't want to, it's actually well written. I can't help but let it go." People doubt, did I really write this?"

Su Mu took the article and looked at it, he was surprised: It's really good, I didn't expect that Governor Weng, who seems to be the oldest in the experience department, seems to have the least knowledge, the article is so good, but what are the others? level.In this central ministerial-level yamen, there is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

"Master Weng's article is really good, and Su Mu admires it. Yes, the text in the part of the question is a bit soft and not strong enough. If you really go to the examination room, you will be deducted points if you don't do it well. One's opinion, one's opinion .”

"Otherwise, inheriting the title and inheriting the title, as the name suggests, it is a link between the past and the future. If you use too much force, you will overthrow the other." Mr. Weng refused to accept it, and argued with Su Mu.

Then, there was a lively discussion.

Hearing their lively talk, the governors were even more itchy.But yesterday they had already said that they would not take the imperial examination, but they were too embarrassed to go to see it.

After lunch, Su Mu was still writing his article for today.And Governor Weng started to pick up Shiwen anthology and read, muttering loudly, and slapped his thigh vigorously when he read something exciting.

Now, everyone couldn't bear it anymore, and Governor Li quietly took out a booklet from his arms and began to ponder.

Soon, Governor Huang also took out a copy of "Mencius" from his sleeve, and while reading it, he picked up a pen to extract something on the paper.

Governor Guan was stunned: "Didn't you guys not take the exam, how did you start reading?"

Governor Li raised his head seriously: "My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. We are all from the background of scholars. It is the ideal of life to read books and cultivate Qi Zhiping. If you don't study for a day, you will look disgusting. Could it be that Mr. Guan usually Don't you ever read?"

"How can I not read it? I read a few pages every day." Governor Guan walked up to Su Mu and said, "Zi Qiao, I'm bored sitting around, can you borrow the Four Books Annotated by Zhu Zi in your hand? relieve boredom."

Su Mu raised his head, looked at Governor Guan and smiled: It seems that they are also tempted, yes, everything is in my calculation, Su Mu.

The whole day was spent in the hard study of everyone, and everyone in the experience department couldn't put down the book, just like a university.

Duan Jiong still looked dismissive and did not participate.However, everyone is reading, and he is also sullen sitting alone.After eating, he simply ran back to his room to sleep.

In the room, Duan Jiong sneered when he heard his colleagues in the hall discussing the newly written stereotyped article, "I really want to take part in Jinshi, if I don't pass, how can I embarrass you? Su Mu, hmph, if you can compose a few crooked poems and crooked words, if you have a reputation as a gifted scholar, you will definitely win. Stereotyped essays are nothing compared to poetry."

Ever since the incident with Daolu Department's gift, he has completely hated Wu Shiqi.As Master Wu's wife, Su Mu also made him look more and more disliked.

Duan Jiong is poor, and he still counts on these local products for the New Year.

But because Wu Shiqi wanted to be famous, he just... couldn't make it through this year.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and it is absolutely unforgivable.

I lay on a hu bed for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep because the weather was so cold.

Thinking of his sallow and emaciated wife and children at home, and thinking that the Duan family, which had been prosperous for a while, turned out to be like this, Duan Jiong sighed in his heart, and straightened his body.

Unexpectedly, when he moved his body, a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean" fell to the ground.

Duan Jiong's hand trembled, and the ghost almost picked up the book, and flipped a page at random. It was the sentence "Beautiful matches the earth. Brilliant matches the sky. Eternal and boundless."

It means: broad and deep comparable to the earth, tall and bright comparable to the sky, long and long is endless.

This sentence says that the sage is one with the heaven and the earth.

Governor Duan unconsciously thought: "If you use this sentence to write a stereotyped essay, how should you do it?"

With this thought, his fingers moved uncontrollably, as if he wanted to hold the pen and write.

Duan Jiong was horrified, and suddenly stood up: Duan Jiong, Duan Jiong, don't you give up, you have been in the exam for six years... But, although that fellow Su Mu looks hideous, he is right.

Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement.

Am I just willing to live a mediocre life like this?

So, what face do you have to meet your dead father in the future?

……

Do not!
