Idle courtiers

Chapter 216 The Unusual Way Wang Yuanmei

Wang Shizhen said slowly: "Okay, let's get to the beginning. As the teacher said, just treat you as an enlightened schoolboy, and let's start from the beginning. However, you are different from Chuipiao, at least I don't have to teach you how to read, and your Calligraphy is also good."

It is only better than children who have just learned to read. This is simply a very bad comment. Zhou Nan felt ashamed and angry, and felt powerless when he wanted to refute, so he could only say: "The teacher is right."

Wang Shizhen: "You only have less than a year now. It is really difficult to go from a child who has just learned to write to the point where you can write stereotyped essays. The so-called ten-year cold window is famous all over the world. Therefore, from Starting today, you will spend ten times more effort than ordinary people."

"Let's talk step by step, you now have two problems."

Zhou Nan asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

Wang Shizhen: "The first is to study the scriptures, and the second is how to replace the vernacular with classical Chinese."

Zhou Nan: "That's right, that's right, my teacher is right. Especially the second point, when I write an article, I accidentally write it in vernacular, but I don't know how to convert it into classical Chinese."

Wang Shizhen spoke eloquently: "The so-called Classical Chinese is actually the spoken language of the pre-Qin period. The main points are the separation of words and writing and concise writing. Before there was no paper, books had to be written on bamboo slips, and an article with a few hundred words weighed several catties. , I’m afraid it will be carried by a bullock cart if it’s a thousand words. Therefore, the main point of the article is to write as much content as possible with as few words as possible.”

Zhou Nan: "The teacher is right."

Wang Shizhen: "As for Jingyi, don't study too much for now."

"Students don't understand."

Wang Shizhen: "You don't want to be a student, what are you doing with so many classics and arts? You are now going to deal with next year's autumn, and you can memorize the original text of the Four Books and the one you ruled, as well as Zhu Zi's annotations, and know every sentence. The meaning of the words, just know how to solve the problem.”

Zhou Nan: "Speaking of which, the students picked up the books a while ago, and have memorized the Four Books and Chunqiu by heart."

Wang Shizhen was a little surprised, so he randomly picked out a few sentences and asked, with a joyful expression on his face at the end: "It saves a lot of time, it seems that your previous foundation is still there. It seems that you have not only memorized the books, I also memorized a lot of model essays in the anthology."

Zhou Nan blushed: "Exactly."

Wang Shizhen nodded: "It's so simple. In addition to classical Chinese writing, your other problem is stereotyped essay writing. You can't write stereotyped essays now, and there is no point in forcing it. Let's put it aside. From now on, you write an article every day, and submit it to the teacher after you finish writing. It does not have to conform to the standard of classical Chinese, and the number of words should be more than [-] words. After a few months, you have learned how to write, and then we will start writing. Stereotyped Shiwen will deal with next year's autumn."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Nan's head is as big as a bucket, and one ancient essay a day requires more than a thousand words. Isn't that terrible?
He hurriedly said: "Teacher, can you be lenient for a while, how about an article in three to five days? The students still have to work in the pedestrian department. I'm afraid I don't have so much time for the official business."

Wang Shizhen said indifferently: "The teacher knows the affairs of the yamen. What kind of official business can I have at the end of the year? You come to me every day when you apply for an article, and then go home. Don't forget, according to the township examination, it has been less than a year. There are so many three or five days for you to waste."

Zhou Nan had no choice but to say: "Yes, the students are taught, and please ask the teacher to give today's topic."

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Shizhen put away his rigid face, smiled slightly, and took out a manuscript from the bookshelf: "This is a vernacular written for fun when the teacher is idle and bored. You can change it into classical Chinese."

Zhou Nan took it and turned it over, his eyelids twitched, and suddenly he felt steam rising in his lower abdomen.

I couldn't help but be surprised: this is a pornographic novel, right?Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, such a pious guy as Wang Shizhen also wrote such things.

The main content of this manuscript is that in the later years of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was lonely in the palace, looking for a lover, and later got Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers Hu Tianhudi.The total number of words is about [-], and they are all vernacular, simple and fluent.

"Teacher... this, this, this, isn't it appropriate?"

Wang Shizhen is serious: "When you are young, the blood and energy are first released, and the guard is in the sex. Or it is said that the great desire of a person exists. You see it as pink, but as a teacher, what you see is a skeleton. I heard people say that you are good at wine. Tanhua, as a teacher, I let you write Fengyue books, which is also a kind of cultivation of your mind. If you have a calm mind, you can accomplish anything."

Zhou Nan didn't think so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The teacher is right, precepts can produce samadhi, and samadhi can produce wisdom."

"Okay, let's rewrite it! Hurry up, if you don't do it well, you might end up staying here tonight." Wang Shizhen waved his sleeves.

After lunch, Zhou Nan didn't care about the lunch break, so he read the novel by heart, and then spread out a pen and paper to rewrite it word by word.

Writing classical Chinese is not so easy. First, you have to dig out every word, second, you have to use allusions, and third, you have to pay attention to the contrast between words and sentences, which is a lot of energy-consuming work.

I have to say that this novel is really well written, and the meat scenes in it are simply soul-stirring. Even Zhou Nan, a person with a long history of human affairs, read it so bloody that he almost wanted to throw away the brush in his hand and invite Zhu Cong to take this loss. Friends, went straight to the Jiaofang Division for field inspections.

Time passed little by little, and at dinner time, Zhou Nan finally compressed the tens of thousands of words of the novel into more than 1000 words in classical Chinese and handed it to Wang Shizhen.

Teacher Wang: "Very good, not bad, let's eat first."

Zhou Nan's blood boiled like a beast, how could he hold it back: "Teacher, the students have finished their homework today, and there are still some things at home, so I will take my leave first."

It's a pity that Wang Shizhen had already seen through everything, and handed another manuscript to Zhou Nan: "What can you do, change this manuscript tonight."

Zhou Nan was taken aback, and came again, isn't it fatal? "Men, didn't you say to write an ancient essay every day?"

Wang Shizhen: "That's right, I said this as a teacher. But, didn't you go to work in the department today? You returned all your books to the teacher, and you need to pay more than others to start all over again after 12 years. Work hard, the so-called time does not wait for me, you must fly first."

"Yes, teacher." Zhou Nan felt a great pain in his heart, what kind of stupid bird flies first, this is purely carrying forward.

In order to hurry up, he read this novel quickly while eating.

As for Wang Shizhen, he read Zhou Nan's manuscript while eating, and then raised a pen to revise it.

The world is quiet.

After eating, the manuscript was revised.Wang Shizhen nodded, and said: "It's not enough, but the language is not refined enough. In the final analysis, your vocabulary is still a little insufficient. Just read and write more. I have finished this manuscript. You can take it back and read it by heart. gone."

After finishing speaking, I attached Zhou Nan's classical Chinese essay to the back of the novel, and then picked up a pen to write "Ruyi Jun Biography" on the page.

Zhou Nan suddenly realized that this book is the legendary Ming Dynasty's top ten Fengyue masterpiece "Ruyi Jun Biography", I have admired it for a long time!

When he was studying Ming and Qing literature at university, he heard the teacher mention the name of this book, and he also went to the library to look for it.It's a pity that such internal reference materials can't be borrowed. I'm afraid that the students will read them and ruin the morale of the school, right?

Zhou Nan suddenly looked forward to the novel Wang Shizhen gave her.

At first glance, it really is another Fengyue novel.Compared with "Ruyi Jun Biography", which tells the secrets that happened in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, this book is very down-to-earth.

It is about a lady from a rich family in a certain place who has been weak since she was a child, and her family is very worried.

Then, one of the gods and nuns came to the door and said that the poor nun made calculations, and the daughter could not live to be 16 years old.If your family wants to keep this daughter, they can shave their hair and practice in the nunnery for two years to survive this catastrophe.Two years later, Ke returned home and returned home to still be her eldest lady.

The family believed it and made their daughter a short-term nun under the name Zhengjing.

The reason why Mrs. Zhengjing was weak in the past is probably due to lack of exercise in the embroidery room all day long.This time I became a nun, chopping firewood, feeding horses, traveling around the world all day, facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and my body is gradually improving.

After entering the nunnery, Master Zhengjing was shocked to find that the nunnery was in a mess.The master and the male pilgrims don't know, the brothers often lure handsome scholars to stay overnight.

Which girl is not pregnant, she is a little bit agitated, but, after all, she is the lady of a rich family, and she still keeps her innocence.

On this day, Mrs. Zhengjing went to a different place for alms. When she came back, she was delayed and took a night boat. There was a young scholar with her, and her heart was beating wildly when she saw it.Because she was alone and had no development, Mrs. Zhengjing pretended to be a monk.

That night, she and the scholar huddled in the cabin to sleep.

In the middle of the night, as soon as the scholar turned over, he touched Master Zhengjing's chest with his hand, and touched it: "Hold the grass, little master has trained his chest muscles well... No, no, these are not pectoral muscles, but breast meat."

He touched down again and continued to hold the grass.

In fact, Mrs. Zhengjing slept with the Boy Over Flowers big quilt and never fell asleep. Seeing the scholar touch it, how to control it will be a good thing.

After some upside-down, the scholar also came to his senses and asked the reason.He also admired the beauty of his teacher, and made a vow of eternal love.

Therefore, Zhengjing resigned from her promising career as a nun, and eloped with a scholar to become husband and wife.

Later, the scholar won the first prize and became a high official, and the two lived a prosperous life from then on.

"It's beautiful, it's wonderful. I don't know what was going on in the author's mind. He can even make up such a plot." Zhou Nanji applauded.

The novel is good-looking, but it is not so easy to change it into classical Chinese.

At midnight, I finally finished writing.

Putting down the pen, Zhou Nan only felt his whole body sore and weak, and his chest felt disgusted, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of clear water into the spittoon.

It turned out that he was drunk because he drank too much tea to refresh himself.

Excessive mental exhaustion, the scene in front of him is turning slightly.It was impossible to go home at this time, so I had to spend the night here.

The next day, after Zhou Nan went to the pedestrian department Dianmao, he didn't sneak away as usual, but sat in the room honestly and endorsed.He first memorized a piece of "Mencius", then a stereotyped model essay, and finally the classical Chinese version of "Ruyi Junzhuan" which was rewritten by Wang Shizhen yesterday.

He dared not leave the pedestrian department.Pedestrian Si Zheng Qin Liang and Wang Shizhen were of the same year.If Teacher Wang knows that he has so much free time every day, and then stresses his homework, it will be fatal.

In the afternoon, Zhou Nan went to report to Wang Shizhen as usual.I recited the article written yesterday verbatim.

Wang Shizhen nodded, and threw him another novel: "Go and rewrite it."

It's still a good-looking novel. It tells the story of a scholar who marries the wrong wife, and the two of them live a shameless life ever since.

Scholar, another scholar.Are the scholars of the Ming Dynasty really so hungry? What a disgrace to the times!

Zhou Nan seriously suspected that Wang Shizhen had to ask himself to rewrite one pornographic novel every day. This was to train Zhou to become a writer of street stall literature and inherit his mantle as a master of meat literature.
