The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 14 Once a poem is published, who will compete with it!

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Xie Shen is in a good mood, very good!
After purchasing a large set of stationery, Xie Shen walked towards his bamboo building.

Anyway, he doesn't need to spend money on these stationery utensils, if he can buy more, he should buy more.

Wang Shouwen can be regarded as a son of a noble family, so naturally he would not be short of this money. He heard that Xie Shen is quite talented and has won the approval of the county lord, so he naturally intends to make friends with him.

It can be said that this is a matter that is beneficial to both parties, Xie Shen does not feel any embarrassment in holding these stationery utensils.

But then again, it's not rude to come and go, so it's still right to treat Wang Shouwen to a light meal.

Wang Shouwen is thirteen years old this year, one year older than Xie Shen, and when he heard that he was going to be a guest at Xie's family, he generously agreed.

When the two returned to the bamboo building together, it was already dark. Xie Shen's sister-in-law, Xie Chen, was cooking in the kitchen on the first floor. Seeing Xie Shen came back, she quickly put down her work and said with a smile: "Xiao Lang Are you back? Hey, who is that young master next to you?"

"Sister-in-law, this is my classmate Wang Shouwen, let's have dinner with us today."

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Alright, then I will prepare more meals."

"Thank you."

Wang Shouwen obviously had that restrained temperament, and when he saw Xie Chen smiling at him, his face turned red.Xie Shen saw his embarrassment, so he dragged Wang Shouwen to the second floor.

The attic on the second floor is Xie Shen's inner room and study. Although it is a bit old, everything is complete.

But these are a bit shabby in the eyes of Wang Shouwen, who was born in a family like this.

Xie Shen sat down on a prescription stool carelessly, beckoning Wang Shouwen to sit down.

However, Wang Shouwen frowned and said: "I never imagined that Xie Xiandi's family background is so poor. Although a certain family background is much better than Xie Xiandi's, but the knowledge is much worse, I am really ashamed."

Xie Shen smiled heartily and said, "There is no definitive conclusion on such things as learning. I just got a few compliments from the county lord, so I don't necessarily have higher learning than you. Besides, what's the point of competing for this kind of thing? How about enjoying a few glasses of wine together!"

"Brother Xie Xian is a straightforward person."

The seriousness on Wang Shouwen's face finally dissipated, and he said loudly: "In the future, if brother Xie Xian needs anything, feel free to mention it to me, and I will try my best to help."

Xie Shen was naturally overjoyed.Although this Wang Shouwen is a standard son of an aristocratic family, it can be seen that he is not arrogant and domineering, and his character is still very correct.It is absolutely beneficial and harmless to make friends with such people.What's more, he also has an elder brother who is at the level of a master. Through this relationship, he can become a brother and brother with Wang Yangming, which will definitely be of great benefit to Xie Shen's career in the imperial examination.

Xie Shen is not a person who plans and plans carefully, but when the opportunity is in front of him, he will never let it go.

Not long after the two sat in the attic, Mrs. Xie Chen came to call them for dinner.

Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen went down to the attic, sat around a table with Mrs. Xie Chen and had a simple meal.

Although Mrs. Xie Chen specially added vegetables, but the brown and black pickled vegetables were not something a young man like Wang Shouwen was used to eating.Wang Shouwen politely ate a few slices of pickles, and stopped eating.

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, some things can't be changed just by wanting to.

After dinner, Xie Shen sent Wang Shouwen home and returned to the attic.

Tomorrow I will officially start studying at Sanwei Academy, so I have to rest well tonight.

There was nothing to say all night, Xie Shen got up to take a shower when the morning light was twilight.

After that, he ate a piece of pancake and a bowl of rice porridge as usual, and Xie Shen carried his cloth bag to Sanwei Academy.

Sanwei Academy is divided into two levels according to the age of the students. Most of the students in the lower level are in the twelfth or thirteenth year, and they need to prepare for the county examination in the coming year.The higher-level students are preparing for the first-level provincial examination.

Xie Shen came to the hall of the academy early, sat down in his seat, took out the stationery and Zhu Ziji'an, then closed his eyes and took a rest.

Waking up early is really sleepy, and reading is also a physical effort.

"Xie Xiandi, you came so early."

He knew it was Wang Shouwen from the voice, Xie Shen opened his eyes and said, "Brother Shouwen is not too late. Sit down."

Wang Shouwen sat down beside Xie Shen, said with a faint smile, "Last night I went back to the mansion and secretly went to the kitchen to pick up a piece of pancake to eat, but I was starved to death."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes angrily and said, "You are not used to eating pickled vegetables, you deserve to be hungry."

After the two had some frolic, Kong Jiaoyu came out of the house with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran.

Seeing that the students had almost arrived, Confucius said in a deep voice: "Today is full of spring, and a hundred flowers are in full bloom. You can write a poem on the theme of early spring."

The boy's third test is a typical basic selection test. The questions are not difficult, but the essays are required to be clever and unique.Therefore, for the sake of utilitarianism, many teachers will require candidates to write a large number of contemporary essays, and use sea of ​​questions tactics to train the sensitivity and intention of writing essays.

Confucius was born as a Jinshi, so he naturally knew what kind of essays would please the examiners the most, but he obviously didn't want students to be bound by the current language, so he also had requirements for poetry.

Xie Shen's heart sank, just as soon as the academy started, Confucius asked them to compose poems, this rhythm is really fast.Composing poems is not difficult for Xie Shen. Although it is the middle of the Ming Dynasty and there are many good poems from the Tang and Song Dynasties that cannot be copied, many famous poems from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are still waiting to be collected.

Xie Shen thought for a while, then picked up the pen and dipped it in ink.

In just a short moment, a seven-character quatrain was ready to appear on the paper.

Coincidentally, Kong Jiaoyu came to Xie Shen's side, seeing that Xie Shen had composed a poem in such a short period of time, he was naturally interested.

"Jiangnuan waves reflect the sun, several families live together in Shuiyun Township.

In the flowers of the hibiscus fence hut, there are also swings that come out of the short wall. "

After reciting it again, Kong Dedao nodded frequently.

"A good poem, a good poem. This poem outlines the scene of early spring in the water town in just a few lines, and the line 'there are also swings out of the short wall' is the finishing touch!"

"Thank you, Master." In Sanwei Academy, Kong Dedao's identity is a teacher rather than a teacher of the county school. It is obviously more appropriate for Xie Shen to call him a master.

Xie Shen said in his heart that copying poems really means copying the best ones, and Yang Shen, one of the three talented scholars of the Ming Dynasty, was indeed not an ordinary person.

He also wanted to write a poem about Lin Jiangxian to pretend to be aggressive, but there was really no chance.If it is forced to pretend, it will arouse Confucianism's suspicion.And this song "Early Spring" is very suitable for the occasion, and it will not make people feel abrupt.

In Kong Dedao's heart, Xie Shen is obviously already a child prodigy.

In fact, there were quite a few child prodigies in the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty. It is not uncommon for a 12-year-old like Xie Shen to be good at writing poems.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Kong Dedao stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "You are able to compose this poem at a young age, you are indeed very talented. It seems that the county magistrate recommended you to this old man for a reason."
