"Since shopkeeper Tan is so sincere, Xie is naturally not good at refusing, but shopkeeper Tan has to agree to Xie, and these poems must be added to the script after the hospital examination is over."

Xie Shen thought about it, and felt that the advantages of cooperating with the shopkeeper Tan would outweigh the disadvantages.Manuscript remuneration is not the focus of his consideration now, but fame must be gained, and it is indeed much faster to gain fame by cooperating with the shopkeeper of the bookstore than he did it alone before.

"Of course, I understand this point. As for the reward, Mr. Xie thinks five taels for a poem?"

Xie Shen nodded and said: "This price is innocent, so let's follow this price."

If Tan Hui wanted Xie Shen to compose poems for him for selection, not to mention a five taels, even 500 taels, Xie Shen would not agree!But now he has written these poems, but it has not been widely disseminated.Xie Shen selling his poems to Tan Hui can not only generate income again, but also speed up publicity, so why not do it?

"Shopkeeper Tan, please wait a moment, Xie is going to write down the four poems I wrote yesterday!"

After speaking, Xie Shen turned around and went to the back room, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, brushed the pen and swished the brush to finish it in one go.

In an instant, the four poems were neatly written on the paper.Xie Shen glanced at it to make sure there was no mistake, then left the room holding the tissue paper.

"These four poems are all here. Shopkeeper Tan can choose whatever he wants, as long as he signs Xie's name."

Shopkeeper Tan nodded, and took out five taels of silver from his bag: "This is the deposit. I don't bring so much silver taels with me when I go out. When I return to the bookstore, I will ask the assistant to bring it to Mr. Xie."

Xie Shen smiled slightly and said, "It should be like this."

He wasn't worried about shopkeeper Tan's reneging on his debts. The cooperation between the bookstore and the literati was about trustworthiness.If shopkeeper Tan smashed the signboard for a mere 15 taels of silver, it would not be worth the candle.Moreover, he has established a long-term cooperative relationship with shopkeeper Tan, and breaking his promise will not do any good to shopkeeper Tan.

"Farewell!"

After receiving the four poems written by Xie Shen, shopkeeper Tan said goodbye with great satisfaction, and Xie Shen was also in a good mood, saying goodbye to shopkeeper Tan.

"Hey, brother Shenxian, why don't you thank me this time?"

As soon as the shopkeeper Tan left, Wang Shouwen triumphantly invited the credit, making Xie Shen a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, this matter is considered to be the credit of Brother Shouwen. In return, I will help you give pointers on how to do Shiwen?"

Wang Shouwen was overjoyed after hearing this: "It's still Brother Shenxian who understands me."

The two moved to Wang Shouwen's wing room and sat down in front of the desk.Wang Shouwen mysteriously took out a thin booklet from a stack of books and handed it to Xie Shen.

"Brother Shenxian, look at this."

Seeing Wang Shouwen's tense expression, Xie Shen's heart sank and he thought, this could not be a test question for the hospital examination, Wang Shouwen is so good-looking?

Xie Shen gave Wang Shouwen a meaningful look, then opened the thin booklet and read it.

As soon as he turned to the first page, he saw Wang Hua's big characters, and when he looked down, wasn't it just a time essay written by Wang Hua.

Xie Shen laughed angrily, rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a piece of writing written by your father. Why did you make it so mysterious? I thought you got the subject of the college exam."

Wang Shouwen said with an aggrieved face: "Why did you say that, let alone in Shaoxing City, even if you go to the capital, you will not be able to get this brochure. The excerpts here are all the famous masters of the provincial and general examinations over the years. If Brother Shenxian is not rare, please return it to me."

Only then did Xie Shen suddenly realize.Although the imperial examination system was well established in the Hongzhi Dynasty, there were no matching anthologies of current literature in market bookstores.As a result, many students can only work behind closed doors, and the quality of their essays is uneven.

Wang Shouwen was born in a family of imperial examinations, and his father was Wang Hua, the number one scholar. Naturally, he could get this first-hand selection of historical essays over the years. It is indeed of reference value to take a look.

"Brother Shouwen misunderstood, I was just a little surprised. You can ask me if you don't understand anything, I will definitely tell you everything."

Wang Shouwen wasn't really angry with Xie Shen, he shrugged and said, "It's more or less the same."

After finishing speaking, he clicked the booklet and said: "Zhu Zi said that the interpretation of the scriptures should be like a broken piece. There are places in the scriptures that cannot be interpreted, so they have to be missing. If you keep explaining, there will be incomprehension and fallacies. Today's talkers often have The diseases of the four: the base is humble, but resistance makes it high; the base is shallow, but digging makes it deep. Brother Shenxian thinks how to write good contemporary prose?"

Xie Shen's heart sank, unexpectedly Wang Shouwen still remembered what Zhu Xi said quite clearly.

"Before this dynasty, most of the essays of scholars were 'following the biography'. However, this approach would only be self-sufficient, and it was not Zhu Zi's original intention." After a short pause, leaving Wang Shouwen time to think, Xie Shen continued: " Zhu Zi's biography and annotations are important, but we should understand Zhu Zi's deep meaning, so that when writing a text, the annotations are melted between the words, and the meaning of the title is the same, and the actual and the empty are transformed into each other. The so-called current essays, long and general, need to be reasonable and meaningful."

Xie Shenchang took a deep breath, clicked the booklet and said: "Let's say that your father's "Humble Palace" contains not a single word or sentence that is not a law. The opening chapter is less about self-proclaiming and more about supporting the people. The sage can do it. 'It can be said to be sharp to point out the way of the sage in just one sentence."

"A sage is able to do so with the idea that 'it is less important than self-promotion, but more important than supporting the people.' To make an argument, take two layouts, and later use the "Maoci soil steps" and "Siwei Jizhai" in the "Book of the Later Han" as examples to support Argumentation is really natural, and the scriptures and meanings of the article are like one thing."

This topic actually comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Taber", which talks about the difference between the emperor's frugality and extravagance, but Wang Hua's conception is ingenious and just right.

After hearing this, Wang Shouwen nodded frequently and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Brother Shenxian, if you had told me earlier, maybe I would have been enlightened."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are just cramming for the time being. If the college entrance examination is not approaching, why don't you still go to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows?"

Wang Shouwen is fourteen this year, one year older than Xie Shen, and at this age in the Ming Dynasty, he can already be a father. As a rich son, Wang Shouwen wants to go to the brothel to find pleasure, so others have nothing to say. That's all.

"Hey, if you are on the list in this college examination, brother Shenxian, you will be the first one."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shouwen said with emotion: "My father sent me a letter from home a few days ago, and asked me to read it carefully and not to be lazy. His old man has been promoted to Youchunfang Youyude, promoted to the Japanese lecturer, and assisted the crown prince together with Master Yang. Your Highness, it would be too embarrassing if I don't even get the honor of a scholar."

"Master Yang, but Yang Ting and Master Yang?"

Xie Shen paused slightly, then asked in a deep voice.
