Seeing this, he deliberately handed Zhou Wenjie a handkerchief, Zhou Wenjie didn't understand what he meant for a while, and cast an inquiring look.

Besides, he smiled: "See for yourself, if you're about to drool." ”

"You're making fun of me again. Zhou Wenjie has a young heart, and he likes to ponder this kind of thing, "However, you said that if Wuzong and King Ning really fight, who will win?"

"If the two of them go head-to-head on the school field, of course Wu Zong can win. But even those traitors beside Wuzong didn't dare to let Emperor Wuzong do this, if it was spread to the palace, after these people went back, the Queen Mother would have to cut off their heads. If the two of them each lead a soldier and horse and fight a decisive battle at Poyang Lake, King Ning will win a hundred battles. ”

Besides, it is also very energetic, and history is mixed with its own opinions, and it is poured out in one go.

King Ning's rebellion was only a month, and officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River had already fled, surrendered, and half of the country was ownerless, just waiting for King Ning to take over.

If King Ning can successfully capture Nanjing, Jiangnan can be decided. It's a pity that King Ning was stunned by Wang Shouren's series of feints, and he didn't dare to attack, but he was killed by Wang Shouren in a battle.

When King Ning was about to be executed, he was also like Xiang Yu, looking up to the sky and sighing: "This is the death of heaven to me, and it is not a crime of war." ”

After all, Wang Shouren had only recently patrolled Ganxi, and King Ning ignored this civil official, only to find that he was more terrible than all the generals combined. A hundred secrets are sparse, and the success is short.

"You said that Wang Shouren is so powerful, why didn't Wuzong let him be the prime minister, if he became the prime minister, wouldn't this dynasty really be Zhongxing?"

"If the Martial Sect does that, it won't be the Martial Sect. Where would he think of Wang Shouren's credit, he was jealous of Wang Shouren, and every day he thought about whether to cut off Wang Shouren's head. ”

"Faint!" Zhou Wenjie was rarely furious, and scolded him.

"Silence. Besides, he hurriedly sighed, "Whether the emperor is good or bad, it is not something that my courtiers can comment, don't talk about it outside." ”

"I know that, I'm just going to say nothing to you. Outside, I only say three points to people, and two out of three points are still watered. Zhou Wenjie said with a smile.

"Adulteration doesn't have to be that much. Besides, it was terrible to shout, "Are you fooling the emperor like this?" ”

"Well, an industry secret, I can't tell you. All in all, much more powerful than that. Of course, it's not a fake, but a price fake. Zhou Wenjie touched his head and said with a grin.

"It's all an open secret, the whole world knows it, and there's nothing to say. And laughed.

Zhou Wenjie said mysteriously: "An open secret, this is a joke." Let me tell you, we imperial businessmen, our ancestors have had an iron rate for generations, even if they are enemies of life and death, they can't use the secrets here to fight opponents, otherwise they will become the enemies of the entire industry.

"Well, I might as well tell the truth, and you must not tell outsiders that it is. The price of a piece of silk purchased by my family locally is only five taels of silver, and it is a thousand taels of silver when it is sold to the emperor. Of course, it's all peeled layer by layer, and how much my family earns has nothing to do with this, how much should it be. ”

"You're embarrassed to tell it in secret," he laughed, "and it reminds me of the story of the emperor who ate the pancakes first." ”

"What story? Tell me quickly. As soon as he heard the word story, Zhou Wenjie became excited, pestering him to listen to the story.

Although the Zhou family said that they were using Xingwen, they also wanted to study the road of the imperial examination, so they were very strict with the Zhou Wenjie brothers, and only allowed him to study and figure out those ink scrolls every day, and any subsets of scriptures and histories became idle books.

Just like the middle school students of later generations are not allowed to read novels and watch American dramas.

Besides, all day long I read a subset of scriptures and history, and there are naturally many allusions in it, sometimes I tell Zhou Wenjie some in simple terms, Zhou Wenjie is fascinated by it, he often comes here to listen to the story.

"It is said that Emperor Mu Zong, after his old man ascended the throne by the crown prince, suddenly one day he thought of a kind of baked cake that he ate when he was the prince, and asked the eunuchs of the imperial food prison to make it. After the eunuchs were ordered, they went back to study for a few days before they came to report to the emperor, and decided how to make the baked cakes, and counted down a tael of silver with a baked cake pattern.

The emperor laughed angrily and told them that when he was the prince, he said that there was a hotel in front of the palace that sold this kind of baked cake, five cents of silver.

However, the eunuchs insisted that the palace could not do it, because the palace had the palace system, from the mold to the procurement of ingredients, it was the best, and it could not be done without a thousand taels of silver. The emperor simply shook his hands and stopped eating the baked cakes. ”

Zhou Wenjie laughed when he heard this, clapped his hands and said: "This emperor is too, can't you send a little eunuch out to buy it." ”

"It's okay for others to say this, but it's strange for you to say this. The eunuchs in the palace are all mingled, and everything has benefits, who dares to destroy it, just like your family buys cloth, doesn't the emperor know the difference?

"If you want to say that your family is quite kind, after all, five taels of a thousand taels are real, but only five of the thousand taels of baked cakes are real. The rest were divided between the eunuchs and the layers of people outside.

"The emperor is actually the biggest wrongdoer in the world. ”

"That's right. Zhou Wenjie also laughed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You know the secrets of our industry at this point?"

"What's so difficult about this, just draw inferences. ”

"Draw inferences from one another, four words are like mountains, where is it so easy to reverse. Zhou Wenjie smiled bitterly. "Don't talk about drawing inferences, I just find it difficult to figure this out now. ”

"It's not difficult, it's about reading a book to learn and apply it, and touch the class.

"Let me give you an example, Su Dongpo has such a passage in his test-taking strategy, that is, in the "Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty":

"When Yao, Gao Tao was a scholar. will kill, Gao Tao said 'killing' three, Yao said 'pardon' three. Just such a passage stumped Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world who took the main test at that time. "Besides, he was at ease.

"What kind of person is Ouyang Xiu, that's everyone who has read the subset of scriptures and histories, but they can't remember that this allusion comes from that book. I'm embarrassed to say it, but I went home and looked through the books, but I still couldn't find the allusion. A few days later, he asked Su Dongpo where the allusion came from.

Dongpo smiled and said, "In this way, take it for granted." Ouyang Xiu was convinced, and said that he should let this son go out of my head. ”

Zhou Wenjie blinked his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, obviously not understanding.

Moreover, he continued: "Dongpo's words 'take it for granted in today's degree' came from Kong Rong of the Later Han Dynasty.

"Back then, Cao Cao crusaded against Yuan Shao, took away Yuan Shao's eldest son's daughter-in-law Zhen, and rewarded his eldest son Cao Pi.

"Kong Rong was not angry, so he said to Cao Cao: 'I want King Wen to cut down and give Daji to the Duke of Zhou. ’

Cao Cao also didn't know what he meant, knowing that Kong Rong was the grandson of Confucius, he was very knowledgeable, and he would not speak without evidence, so he went home and checked all the classics, but to no avail. I had to ask Kong Rong for advice, but Kong Rong said: "Take it for granted." ’”

Zhou Wenjie smiled when he heard it, and he was fascinated again. What he likes to listen to most is this kind of allusion story, rather than the vulgar and nonsense stories told by the outside storytellers.

"By the way, was that Zhen later Concubine Zhen, and Cao Zhi was obsessed with her later and wrote the famous "Luo Shen Fu" for her?"

"Look, aren't you going to draw inferences and bypass things?" and poked his finger into his forehead.

"This ......" Zhou Wenjie was stunned for a moment, covered his mouth and laughed.

The two glanced at each other, and invariably chanted: "Its shape is also like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, Rongyao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong......"

This paragraph is Cao Zhi's dedication to describing Concubine Zhen's heavenly beauty, and the power of words, but there is no inappropriateness or redundancy, which makes people fascinated and intoxicated when they read it.

Such a beautiful reader will not let go, and he will memorize it well, even if he sleeps, he will not memorize a wrong word.

Both of them are fifteen years old, and they are in a hazy period when their love is beginning to bloom and they are young Ai, and although psychologically they have already crossed this stage, there are absolutely no people who read "Luo Shen Fu" and are not infected.

He couldn't help but think that Concubine Zhen, who was a peerless concubine, was miserable, she was in the middle of the Cao Pi brothers and couldn't deal with herself, and finally died of depression, which can be described as a thin life.

The two were intoxicated, and Liu's mother shouted to call them back to reality, and it was time for lunch.

Mother Liu really made Zhou Wenjie's favorite plum vegetable button meat and put it directly in front of him. Zhou Wenjie was also not polite, he picked the dried plum vegetables in it and ate them, and put the meat in another bowl. After these were withdrawn, Yu Ji Wu consumed the old wine.

"Brother Wenjie, you are really single-minded, I've seen you for a few years, and this is what you eat, why don't you get tired of eating?"

"Yes, it's not surprising that your family eats shark fin bird's nest every day, and I wonder why you prefer this bite. Zhong asked strangely.

"Uncle Guo, you don't know, in my house, this dish is for the next people, and I can't eat it at all. If you want to eat, you have to sneak into the kitchen and eat like a thief. The ingredients of the dishes made for the next person are naturally insufficient, and the taste is much worse than this. ”

"If we dare to love you, we will all become subordinates?" Besides, he laughed.

"I don't mean that, to be honest with you, it is said that my grandfather loved this dish very much, and he couldn't leave it every day, my father was influenced by those gentlemen, and always said that the family should have an aristocratic atmosphere, and he couldn't always be like an upstart, and the copper stench from the inside out.

"It's good now, when the clothes are ready, you have to think about them before they are worn. The utensils had to be polished, like the old things of a hundred years ago, the diet had to be light, and the dishes of large meat dishes had been removed from the menu. ”

"And this is said: The people of the two Jin Dynasty do not wear new clothes because they take Wushisan, and their skin is very tender, and they are afraid of wearing new clothes for fear of wearing out their skin. There is no one in your family to take five food and scatter. It is difficult to learn the demeanor of the two Jin people to talk about lice. "And I was amazed.

"There is no one in my family to learn, but there are a few Qing guests who really sit there every day and put their hands into their clothes and scratch them, and I don't know if there are really lice. ”

The three members of the family all laughed, this is too much overkill. This is no longer demeanor, but hypocrisy.

"That's why I like to come to your house, everyone is who they are, and they don't have to pretend to be this and that all day long. ”

"Okay, you're welcome to come every day, you can stay permanently. Guo Zhong patted his head and smiled.

"Yes, Brother Wenjie, come when you are free, your master in the province forces you to endorse every day, and he doesn't suffocate you to death. Guo Yu clapped his little hands and said.

"Okay, I'll come when I have time, it's convenient for me to come here, just tell my family to study the article. Zhou Wenjie was also happy. It's obviously a lot easier to have the opportunity to say what is in your heart.

After the meal, Zhou Wenjie went to wait in the house first, and Zhong called him aside and said to him:

"You will go to see Old Master Chen tomorrow morning, and you don't have to say anything like this, just say that you have any questions to ask for advice. If you choose two verses from Chen Baisha's quotations and ask the old master to explain them to you, he will be happy. It doesn't seem rude to us. ”

"Okay, the boy will go tomorrow. ”

"Be casual, don't be nervous, don't be reserved, and don't appear too respectful, just like visiting ordinary elders, the old master will like it. This degree must be grasped well. "The situation Zhong explained.

How should I go to see the old master? Besides, I really didn't have an idea for a while.
