Hearing this, Ping Jiaolang sighed slightly, and he had also heard a little about the marriage between the Sun family and the Xu family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info If it is just for the sake of reading, it is enough to have yourself. He wants to see Tu Shanchang, or is it for the eldest lady of the Xu family?

He is quite unoptimistic about this marriage. Before the Sun family retired from marriage, the eldest lady of the Xu family is now the righteous daughter of the Anguo Mansion. Time has changed, and only they know what the Xu family's plans are now.

Anyway, who hasn't been young? I will help him introduce him, even if it doesn't work, I will break this thought, so that I can study with peace of mind.

beckoned a young man from the academy and sent him to deliver a message to the Tu family in the back. Tu Shan is getting older, and he goes out less and less, and spends most of his time at Tu's house, or playing with flowers and plants, or teasing grandchildren, or splashing ink to paint.

He is often seen in Pingshulang, discussing the affairs of the academy, etc., and he often comes and goes, and he does not feel abrupt when he goes at this time.

While waiting, Ping Jiaolang asked some about Sun Zhitao's studies, and after several exams, he was quite satisfied.

Sun Zhitao's article has a solid foundation and has unique insights into the scriptures, but it is worse in practice.

Ping Jiaolang twisted his beard and said: "Today, the emperor likes to use young Junyan, Zhitao's opportunity is good, and next year's autumn can be a try." If there is no accident, a person who is famous is not a problem. ”

Sun Zhitao was overjoyed, as the actual chief of Songxi Academy, Ping Jiaolang could make such an evaluation, it would probably not be wrong. Hurriedly got up and said, "The student thanked the deceased Bojiyan." ”

Ping Jiaolang waved his hand and said, "After passing the exam, you have to participate more in practice." After the emperor ascended the throne, he opened a department, and the top three were all young men with excellent knowledge and practice. ”

With this sentence, Sun Zhitao was like an enlightenment. The truth is that it seems easy to a discerning person, but it is not. Since Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne, he has only opened two subjects, not only to know the articles of the top three accurately, but also to know the emperor's arrangements for scholars.

This sentence can allow Sun Zhitao to study in a targeted manner, saving time in at least two subjects.

"There is a point from Shiber, and the students are not very grateful. Sun Zhitao sincerely thanked him.

Ping Jiaolang said: "No need to thank you, your uncle has high expectations for you. ”

Sun Zhitao sat down, and Ping Jiaolang continued to compile the handouts.

After a while, the little servant turned around and said, "Ping Jiaolang, Tu Shanchang is waiting for you in the flower hall." ”

Nodding, Ping Jiaolang said, "Let's go." ”

"Songxi Academy" is connected to the Tu family by a red lacquered wooden door, Sun Zhitao followed behind Ping Jiaolang's chubby body, entered the Tu family, and walked along a verandah to a flower hall.

The old lady Tu was dressed in a cyan robe, with the hem tied around her waist, and there were a little mud spots on the cuffs. He is in good spirits, and his tall figure is slightly rickety, but his cheeks and body are much richer than during the New Year, and it is obvious that his body has become better.

Ping Jiaolang respectfully bowed his hand and said, "The teacher is tending to the crops again?"

Old lady Tu smiled and said, "I see that the weather is not good today, and I am afraid that there will be a strong wind, so hurry up and erect the shed." ”

"You're old, and it's time to take good care of it. This kind of thing, teacher, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Old lady Tu glared at her and said, "I'm just old, and I'm not missing arms and legs!

Wu Niangzi helped him to sit down on a chair, and said with a soft smile: "Don't worry, old man, Jiao Lang is just worried about your body." He said to Ping Lang again: "Please don't worry about Lang, Doctor Su Xiao said, the old man should move properly, it will be beneficial to the body." ”

Sun Zhitao looked at it, although Ping Jiaolang was a disciple, this feeling of closeness was like a family with Tu Shanchang. He took a step forward and saluted respectfully: "Student Sun Zhitao, I have seen Tu Shanchang. ”

Old lady Tu glanced at him and asked, "Who is this?"

"Sun Shilang's nephew, Sun Zhitao. Ping said Lang.

Old lady Tu thought about it for a while, and then understood in a blink of an eye, snorted coldly, and didn't tell him to get up.

Sun Zhitao was willing to be punished, and what he was most worried about was that Tu Shanchang ignored him. Since he is going to be punished, it means that he is not completely disappointed in him.

Seeing that Mrs. Tu had a cold face, and Ping Yulang was not easy to speak, so he drank tea like this, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Tu said, "Get up, tell me, what kind of charter are you going to Beijing this time?"

Although the Xu family was far away in Suzhou at that time, Mrs. Tu was very concerned about the marriage of her children and grandchildren. When he knew that Mrs. Xu had really set Xu Wanzhen as the young master of the Sun family, he also praised a few words. In the "Shinong Industry and Commerce", "business" is the last stream after all.

Later, when there was a sudden change, the Sun family withdrew from the marriage, and it was impossible to say that he had no opinion in his heart.

Sun Zhitao straightened up, slightly stretched his waist, which had been bent for a long time, and replied loudly: "Back to Tu Shanchang, it is not the student's wish to withdraw from the marriage. This time I went to Beijing, and I have obtained my father's consent to ask Miss Xu for marriage again!"

Hearing what he said categorically, a smile appeared on the face of the old lady Tu, and the children can be taught.

Sun Zhitao has a personable demeanor and a clear face, and he has a scholarly temperament that has been immersed in obscenity for a long time, and he is very good for the eyes of the old lady.

He thought: "The family he set back then was very good, looking at his clear eyes, this future life is a good one." Although Wanzhen has become the righteous daughter of the Anguo Mansion, it is not easy to find a good family in this capital. ”

Thinking of this, Old Lady Tu nodded and said, "Since you have this idea, then go to Jiashanfang tomorrow." I'll write a letter, and you can take it to her grandmother. ”

Sun Zhitao looked excited, it seemed that Mrs. Tu had passed this hurdle, and he was willing to write a letter to help him explain.

Wu Niangzi helped Mrs. Tu get up and walked to the bookcase, Sun Zhitao rolled up his sleeves, picked up the ink strip and grinded it with his own hands.

Ping Jiaolang looked at him from the side, and saw that he was plump and handsome, even if he was excited, his hand movements were still unhurried. His slender fingers, adding water and holding ink make the viewer pleasing to the eye. praised in my heart, this son is a good learner, and if he can have such a heart, the future will definitely be promising.

After a short time, Mrs. Tu wrote the letter, pressed it with a paperweight, and waited for the ink to dry.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he asked, "Where have you learned from your four books? Which one did you choose from this scripture?"

"Yu Shan Chang, the four books have been learned, and the student's scripture is the "Book of Shang". ”

"Oh?" Hearing that his scripture actually chose "Shangshu", Tu Shanchang became interested. Among the five classics, according to the difficulty, the "Book of Songs" is the easiest, the "Book of Changes" is the second, and the "Book of Songs" is the most difficult. Therefore, the scholars chose the "Book of Songs" as the scripture the most.

But Mrs. Tu's own scripture is "Shangshu", and she suddenly felt a lot closer.

Speaking of learning, this is something that I have been studying in my heart, and I am not as nervous as when I talk about marriage. Sun Zhitao talked confidently.

Skyline Boat said

Regarding the Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examination, in the ancient imperial examination, scholars had to choose a scripture as their own scripture to study, and when answering questions, they also mainly used this scripture. But this degree of difficulty, Zhou Zhou has to roughly guess, but the content of the "Book of Songs" is indeed relatively obscure, judging from the imperial examination data of the Ming Dynasty, the "Book of Songs" is the most selected.
