Chapter 268 Devil Training (Add more)
"It's really painful. When people travel to ancient times, they either have a photographic memory and can learn everything quickly. Or they hug left and right, and they are happy and happy. They will get riches and glory in their game life. I, Zhou Nan, don't know what was created in my previous life. What a crime, everything I have gained is earned back with blood and sweat bit by bit!"

Probably because he drank too much tea, Zhou Nan felt a little drunk, with nausea in his chest.

After the Golden Week of the Spring Festival, after seeing off Brother Zhu to leave the capital, Zhou Nan went to Wang Shizhen's residence to study as scheduled.

A notice has been posted for the additional examination in the fall of next year in Shuntian Mansion, the date is set for the second day of February, and the examination room will be located in the Shuntian Mansion Gongyuan.

During the few days of Chinese New Year, Zhou Nan went to Miyun County by the way, got the documents, and went to the Gongyuan to register.

The people in the Gongyuan looked at Zhou Nan's diploma, and they were amazed, saying that not all passers-by are Jinshi, why is he still a scholar.Moreover, he has already become an official, and he has come to take the imperial examination.Why is the imperial examination, isn't it just to be an official? Is it superfluous for you to do this?
Zhou Nan originally planned to meet the future examiner Duan Chengen, Mr. Duan, but luckily he was familiar with him.My Lord Zhou is a pedestrian anyway, and I will be a censor in the future.We are officials in the same dynasty, you Duan old man sold me a favor, if something happens in the officialdom in the future, I will pay you back.

Unexpectedly, within a short time after posting the post, a man with the appearance of a master came out with a livid face and scolded him.Dao, Mr. Duan said, he knows you.As a scholar, he is a pedestrian, and he was born as a humble yamen servant, but now he is taking the imperial examination. How can people accept him?I heard that your behavior is disorderly, and the old man will dirty his eyes if he looks at you too much.But don't worry, the imperial court has its own system.If your article is really well written, the old man will naturally take it.Otherwise, don't say you are a pedestrian, even a censor is no use.

The master's family relies on door bags for a living on weekdays, and is used to eating and receiving cards, so naturally he got a door bag for posting for Zhou Nan just now.At this moment, his face was quite ugly, and he probably had to be reprimanded by the proprietor.

Zhou Nan groaned bitterly, she knew that she would not be tempted to beg Mr. Duan.When it's time to go to the examination room, maybe he will just know how to do the questions he asked, and pass the test smoothly!Now it's fine, but it made him remember that he had a prejudice.This extra test is not vague, let him think about it, he is afraid that he will be cold this time.

The organs are too clever to calculate, and the cleverness is misunderstood by the cleverness.

If I were the censor in his year, labor and management would impeach Duan every ten days, and impeach him until he died.The crime is easy to find, just say that he doesn't like to talk, he is harsh and narrow-minded.If it doesn't work, let him live in widowhood for many years without renewing his strings, and he is dissatisfied with the state's family planning policy that rewards births.

Zhou Nan used to be angry with others and would wish in his heart what he would do if I were the head assistant in his year. This is a bit of Ah Q spirit, and it can be regarded as an adjustment of his own mentality.

After realizing the Tao in Jiaofang, he realized that he was just an ordinary person, and he wanted to live in the present, and his life goal was fine-tuned from being the chief assistant to being a censor.

After being rejected by Lao Duan, Zhou Nan deeply realized that he had to be hardworking himself to forge iron.I still have to go to the examination room after all, and everything in the examination room speaks in terms of articles.Then there are the township examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations, and the stereotyped essay must be passed.

So, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Nan brought daily necessities and directly moved into Wang Shizhen's house early, and started devil training.

The first two days were relatively easy. Wang Shizhen said that Zimu's writing in ancient prose can be regarded as a basic pass. Don't play tricks when writing, just blindly plain and straightforward, and you can read it without pursuing gorgeous rhetoric.As for the meaning of the scriptures, how sublime it is, even if the head of the head spends his whole life, we can't understand the sage's thinking.

You only need to memorize the Four Books, the Yijing and Zhuzi's commentary that you have made.

In fact, you have memorized them all, and I am very pleased to be the teacher.

Then, you can start learning the craft.

In fact, stereotyped essays are also easy, but there are routines for solving topics, inheriting topics, and starting speeches, and it is easy to get started.

So, the next few days.Wang Shizhen found out all the model essays of Shuntian Mansion's Chinese-style exams in previous years, and broke up the comments word by word.

After speaking, Zhou Nan was asked to use his own words to imitate the central idea of ​​the model essay with this topic.Then, correct and comment.

He explained in detail, and the speed is naturally not fast. Usually, he only writes one article from dawn to dusk, which is quite easy.

I have to say that Wang Shizhen is an excellent teacher.He was originally an examination machine, and the teaching this time was directly aimed at the examination, which meant a rocket class, a crash course, and an intensive class before the exam for future generations.

Zhou Nan is not stupid at all, otherwise he would not be admitted to a key university in modern times.Lao Wang's education method is very scientific, even if it is compared with the national special-grade teachers in later generations, it will not be too far behind.

After studying for a few days, Zhou Nan felt a sense of enlightenment. It turned out that the stereotyped essay was written like this!As soon as I entered the door, I suddenly felt that this study was interesting.

But soon he couldn't laugh.

One day, Wang Shizhen said, "Zimu, you probably have learned one of the techniques of art making, and the next step is to rely on time to polish it."There is no other, but the hand is familiar.

After finishing speaking, he threw a topic to Zhou Nan: "The topic is "Hundred Miles of a Great Country", [-] words, and the paper will be handed in at noon."

Zhou Nan took the question, racked his brains, and finally got the word count together.

After handing in the homework, Wang Shizhen handed over the topic of "The So-called Ministers" to Zhou Nan, still asking for [-] words, and handing it in before dinner.

Well, keep doing it!

In the evening, the manuscript was handed in.Wang Shizhen didn't let Zhou Nan take a break, corrected the paper on the spot, and gave Zhou Nan the "A Hundred Miles of a Great Country" that had already been corrected, and said, "The teacher has finished correcting both questions, so you can go to bed later at night. Memorize it first. Tomorrow morning, I will be assessed as a teacher."

Grass, Zhou Nan, as a beginner, writes a stereotyped essay with more than a thousand characters carefully, and writes extremely slowly, usually taking more than two hours.I've been tossing around all day, my brain is exhausted, and I'm tired to death.Now I have to memorize the composition again, how can I memorize it?
I couldn't help swearing in my heart, and almost blurted out the sentence "So what if I can't recite it".

So what if you can't recite it?What else can I do, get beaten!
The dignity of a teacher, in ancient times, a mentor is equivalent to a father, if you beat him, you beat him, don't you dare to resist?
Looking at Wang Shizhen's ruler on the desk, Zhou Nan couldn't help shivering.

The ruler made of ash wood is estimated to be hundreds of years old, and I don't know how many generations of hands have rubbed it. It has become golden and thickly coated. God knows how many tears and blood of Wang's scholars have been stuck.

Relying on this ruler, the Wang family of Taicang, Suzhou, insisted on making more than a dozen Jinshi, a governor, and five or six senior officials of the fourth rank.

When the Wang family members get together, their eyes are full of magnificence, everyone has a patch on their chests, and they are a group of beasts in clothes.

Zhou Nan's test scores are directly related to the prestige of Wang Shizhen's test machine, and it is estimated that he will be extremely ruthless when he starts.

At the moment, Mr. Zhou could only bear his temper and began to memorize the two compositions revised by his teacher.However, after a day of exhaustion, I know all the words in front of me, but I can't see the exact meaning.I had to drink strong tea and wash my face with cold water, and it took me a long time to recover.

On the second day, after memorizing the article, Wang Shizhen came up with a new item.After finishing, in the afternoon, continue to write articles.

Such a cycle, day after day.

Zhou Nan fully understood that Lao Wang was playing a trick for himself.

Mr. Yuanmei, why are you so advanced?

He did this when he was studying ancient prose last time, and now he still needs to memorize two articles a day, which is simply an enhanced version.

Do the questions, do the questions, and continue to do the questions, as if you are back in the days before the college entrance examination.

In Zhou Nan's mind at the moment, besides the Four Books, the Four Books are the Four Books, and nothing else can be put into it except to solve the problem or to inherit the problem.

Since he wanted to take the imperial examination, for nearly a year, he couldn't put down his papers every day, and he basically entered the door of Chinese studies.Now I have a good teacher to guide me, and I am making rapid progress.

At the beginning, the stereotyped essays he wrote were marked and corrected by Wang Shizhen from beginning to end, but later on, there were fewer and fewer traces of corrections.

This morning, Zhou Nan entered the study, and was about to recite the article as usual, when he saw the old servant of the Wang family talking to his mentor: "Master, the land in the capital is too expensive recently, and there is really no need to buy it. After a calculation, this capital city is all dry land, and one mu of land only yields two or three hundred catties a year. If it is leased to tenants for farming, it will not receive much rent. If you want to pay back, at least 30 years."

The teacher still wants to buy land, the land plot of the ancients is really beyond words.Zhou Nan smiled in his heart, Wang Shizhen resigned his official position to save his father and lived in the capital for a long time, and it was inconvenient to live in Tang Shunzhi's house, so he came up with the idea of ​​buying property in the capital.The current land price in the capital is too high, it has lost the value of investment, it is really unnecessary!

"Yes, but it's not good to live here all the time." Wang Shizhen sighed, and chanted: "The harvest of the tiller is one hundred acres for one man, and one hundred acres of dung. The previous farmer ate nine people, and last time he ate eight." people, seven people for middle food, six people for middle food, and five people for bottom food.”

This sentence comes from "Mencius", which is the longest in the four books.Zhou Nan worked hard to memorize this book.During this period of time, I wrote stereotyped articles every day, and my mind was full of the current style, and I couldn't be idle for a moment, and I was already in trouble.

Hearing this, he casually said: "Lu Zhun's farming is the righteousness of a generation's farming!" This is a problem.

Once the question is broken, the outline will be raised, and the next step will be easy to write.

Zhou Nan continued to read: "When the husband calls farming on behalf of others, it is as if his farming has been stopped. This way of controlling salary is not caused by abuse?" This is the title.

After reading these two sentences, Zhou Nan was stunned: But the writing is so good, I can write such words?God, God!
Wang Shizhen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and sighed after a long while: "Okay, well written, it's worthy of being a teacher. In this way, you can try your luck in this exam. Now pack up your things and go home and rest for two days. , Are you ready to enter the examination room?"

"Enter the examination room?" Zhou Nan finally came to his senses after a long time. Today is the 21st of January, and there are only ten days left before the additional examination in Shuntian Mansion Qiuwei.

Unconsciously, he has been here with Wang Shizhen for half a month.

What kind of day is this? My brain and physical strength are extremely exhausted, and now my feet are still weak when I walk, and I can't use my strength.

Finally able to go home, Zhou Nan rejoiced in his heart, bid farewell to his mentor, and went out in a hurry.

After returning home, just after taking a shower to make himself refreshed, someone from the Armament Bureau came to say that something happened there, Deputy Envoy Guo asked the Elder to return to the Yamen as soon as possible.

　Ask for recommendation vote support, thank you!
