Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It has to be said that as a native of Shaanxi, Xie Ziran is very clear about all the roads from Shaanxi to Ningxia.

Although the road he chose was more difficult than the one Su Mu had taken before, it would save about five days' journey.

Especially after burning unnecessary baggage and carts, the journey was brisk.

After passing Hongsibao, the team entered Pingliang Mansion, stayed in Shanxi Town for a few days, met with the local Xuezheng, and then arrived in Jingzhou after passing through the guards and Chongxin of An Dongzhong.

But what he saw in front of him was an open flat land, with rice paddies, traffic, and dense population, and he had already reached the Guanzhong Plain.

At this time, everyone's tense nerves were completely relaxed.

A few days later, the team arrived in Fenzhou, which was regarded as entering the boundary of Xi'an Prefecture.

It took only 20 days to return to Guanzhong from Ningxia this time, which is about [-] days less than when I went there.

It's already the first day of August, and it's only one month away from September Qiuwei.

"Editor Su, if we take a boat from here to Xi'an, it will take at most three days. Xiaosheng originally wanted to escort the editor, but he still has some errands at hand and needs to pay the county government. I can only say sorry." Yi Yi.

To be able to travel with the champion of the world with the same name, Xie naturally felt that this trip was really worthwhile.

In fact, he is living a good life, and he has no special obsession with becoming an official through the imperial examination.It is good to be able to pass in the township examination in the future, but if you fail to pass, it will not affect your future life.In fact, he felt that even if he won a Juren, if he wanted to be a Jinshi in the future, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.Maybe ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime of hopelessness.

Youth is young, life is good, and there are many valuable things, so why waste time in the pile of old and poor newspapers.

From this point of view, this Xie naturally looks more like a modern person than Su Mu, a time traveler.

However, after being in contact with Su Mu for a while, Xie Ziran still vaguely felt the extraordinary things about Su Mu.On the surface, Su Mu is no different from all the old masters in this world, what they say is still the same as Zi Yue Shiyun.But inadvertently, he suddenly said some eye-catching words, which made Xie Tianran feel the flash of Su Mu's wisdom.

In fact, what Su Mu said inadvertently was just some common sense of modern people, but it catered to Xie Ziran's appetite and made him suddenly enlightened.

For example, the ancients all paid attention to erasing their individuality and closely linking personal interests with the collective.The so-called preservation of the principles of nature and the elimination of human desires is in line with the way of the saint.

But Su Mu said that the reason why the sage said this was because of the low productivity at that time.It takes the power of the whole family or even a country to accomplish one thing.Later, with the development of production technology, the productivity was further liberated.What used to be done by ten people can now be done by one person.Therefore, there is the possibility of realizing personal value.

Therefore, the realization of personal value is beneficial to a country and a nation.

Such seemingly deviant words sometimes lifted Xie Ranran's spirits. He felt that he had learned more knowledge along the way than the sum of the past ten years.

At the moment of parting, Xie was naturally a little reluctant to part.

Then he said a little excitedly: "Editor Su, Xiaosheng has been under the servant's door for half a month, and he has learned a lot from the advice of a bachelor, but he is grateful in his heart. In the mind of the late student, he has already regarded the bachelor as his teacher. .”

No matter how you say it, Xie is still a 16-year-old boy. In Su Mu's view, he is just a child.Even though she is much more mature than her peers, she is still not good at hiding her emotions.

Su Mu saw his reluctance, smiled, helped him up, and said gently: "Your uniform is so true. It is said that you also signed up for this year's Shaanxi Provincial Examination. Take the exam well. If you pass the exam, you will be a teacher-student competition." fate."

"Yes, the students must do their best." Xie Ziran nodded again and again, then turned around and got on the saddle.

"Your suit..."

"I don't know what orders the bachelor has?" Hearing Su Mu's call, Xie naturally got off his horse.

Su Mu waved to him: "It's nothing, let's go!"

"Drive!" With a shout, Xie Ziran's horse rolled up a puff of smoke and went away.

Seeing his arrogant back, Su Mu smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "This kid is really good. I almost couldn't help but talk to him about the current rural examination. If I want, whether it's missing questions, or It is not difficult to give him a joint and give him a fame."

"However, the country has its own laws. Sumu is now known all over the world, but such a thing cannot be done."

"Besides, I, Su Mu, haven't even figured out what questions should be asked in the current rural examination."

"If Xie is really a talented person, I don't need to miss the exam, he can still pass the exam. At that time, it will not be too late to support him."

After Su Mu traveled to the Ming Dynasty, the reason why he got his status today is because of cheating step by step.But he is also not satisfied, if relying on real skills, how can he be the opponent of the ancients.The knowledge of modern people and the scholars with ancient belts are basically two systems.

However, in his heart, Su Mu also felt that it was wrong to do so.This matter can only be regarded as a secret buried deep in his heart.

Looking at Xie Ziran's back, Su Mu suddenly had a premonition that he and this little guy would meet one day in the future, as long as he was still in Shaanxi.

According to Su Mu's prediction, it will take at least half a year from Liu Jin killing the two elders of the cabinet to reforming the military system.Then, there was the Rebellion of King Anhua.

No matter how you look at it, it is very likely that Su Mu will stay in Shaanxi for another year.

Now, the most important thing is to host the provincial examination.

After Su Mu returned to Xi'an Mansion, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but went around Lantian, Lishan, Huashan and other places, and visited all around Xi'an before entering the city.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw green zijin everywhere, no need to ask, they must be candidates for the rural examination.

Su Mu is no stranger to such a situation.However, he was an examinee back then, but now he is the chief examiner.

The encounters and changes in his life made him sigh in his heart.

When he visited Shaanxi last year, he lived in the city for a while.

At that time, the imperial decree for Su Mu to be the master of the Shaanxi Provincial Examination had not yet come down.Now as soon as I enter the city, I can see the announcement of this issue of Shaanxi Qiuwei posted at the gate of the city and at the gates of the major yamen.

Not only that, but the announcements were copied directly by those with good intentions and circulated around.

Hearing that the number one scholar, Su Mu, a generation of poets, will be the chief examiner for this period, all the scholars in Shaanxi are excited.It is said that if you can be his protégé, you will be worth a hundred times in one leap.

As soon as Su Mu returned to the Xuezheng Yamen, he was picked up by the governor of Shaanxi, saying that the local gentry had long admired Su's name and wanted to meet this future great master.

Seeing the post handed over by the governor of Shaanxi, Su Mu showed a wry smile on his face.Needless to say, those squires wanted to meet him, but they wanted to get some information from him, to see if they could know the topics of the current rural examination in advance.

This was exactly what Su Mu was afraid of, and because of this, Su Mu was not in a hurry to enter the city before, and played around outside.It was estimated that it was almost time to enter the Gongyuan before entering Xi'an.

But he didn't want to, he was still caught by them.
