Summer night, an oil lamp.

The lights are like beans.

Guo Lin carefully pulled out a small piece of Zhang Yue's flower cake, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, then pushed it aside and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I'm full." ”

"Senior Brother Guo, be polite," Zhang Yue pushed the flower cake back, and then said as if talking to himself, "Why is this light a little dim?" ”

Guo Lin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the iron skewer and turned the lamp brighter. Zhang Yue also brought his shirt and wooden table closer to Guo Lin's table so that he could do his homework tonight.

The two got closer, and Guo Lin finished eating half of the flower cake, obviously really full. Zhang Yue himself also took a piece of words and said: "If you don't eat more, how can you be hungry at night?" ”

Guo Lin said: "It's been like this for so many years, and I'm really hungry, so I hold a stone on my stomach." ”

Zhang Yue almost smiled when he heard this, and squirted out the flower cake in his mouth, is this already 'kaiseki cuisine'?

Guo Lin didn't know why Zhang Yue was laughing, and he also smiled.

Zhang Yue continued to copy the book, and the two also chatted without a word.

Zhang Yue copied half of the thousand-character text, and it was already an eyelid fight. I can't help it, I was plagued by mosquitoes all night last night, and I urgently need to make up for sleep today.

You must know that Zhang Yue is a person who can't sleep enough for six hours on weekdays.

"No, no. I've got to go to sleep first. Zhang Yue put down his pen.

Guo Lin hesitated and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you want me to call you tomorrow?" ”

"Call me?"

"Didn't you get up again tomorrow and only half of this thousand-word text was copied?"

"No, I slept last night, I must sleep soundly tonight, Senior Brother Guo doesn't have to call me early tomorrow morning! I'll take care of your father. ”

Guo Lin felt that it was inappropriate when he heard this, and asked in line with his obligation to be a senior brother: "Senior Brother Zhang, why are you studying?" ”

Zhang Yuezheng took the pen and washed the ink, raised his head and thought about it: "Or be famous for being an official!" ”

Guo Lin was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Yue put down his pen and covered the bed with a cloth and was asked, "What?" ”

"Do you say the same thing to the examiner when you take the exam in the future?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "Who wouldn't say big things in front of the examiner, but on weekdays, between our brothers and sisters, it's too tiring to have a scheming." As the saying goes, 'the ape and the crane have no intention of calling, and they don't know that there are pedestrians below'. ”

The ape and crane called unintentionally, and I didn't know that there were pedestrians below.

Guo Lin tasted the words of Zhang Yue and said: "If the junior brother is really from the city, he can quote the scriptures and classics for any word......

Guo Lin realized a little, but when he turned his head, he saw that Zhang Yue was already lying on the bed.

Guo Lin was stunned and stopped talking.

Zhang Yue closed his eyes, he knew that Guo Lin was kind enough to remind him, but everyone has their own way to study and study, and he has heard a lot of such great truths in his previous life, but there are very few that really fit him.

Zhang Yue just thought about it for a moment, his mind was empty, and he fell asleep in an instant.

Sleep in seconds!

The next morning, after teaching the boy, Guo Xuexue came to check Zhang Yue's homework yesterday.

Zhang Yue only wrote half of the thousand-character essay last night, and he was so sleepy that he went to bed, and today he slept until the sun was three poles.

Seeing that Zhang Yue only wrote half of his homework, Guo Xuezhu looked at it for a while.

"This clean character is written incorrectly, and it is regarded as a 絜字! Female Mu Zhenjie! Guo Xuezhi took the pen to replace Zhang Yue and changed the text.

Zhang Yue thought that the other party would blame, but he didn't know that he would reveal it like this.

After Guo Xuexue finished the correction, he encouraged Zhang Yue with a look of relief: "Very good, very good, I really worked hard." ”

Is that okay? With such a low requirement, you're not here to cheat me on tuition, are you?

Zhang Yue felt a little bad.

But Guo Xuejiu never said half a word of criticism to himself, but explained the thousand-character text to Zhang Yue from beginning to end. Guo Xuexuan explained very patiently, even more seriously than when he was taught by his teacher in Mengxue.

Then Guo Xuexuan taught Guo Lin his studies alone, and did not give Zhang Yue to observe. But when Zhang Yue was studying, Guo Lin could be on the side. This is not that Guo Xue is hiding his secrets, but that Guo Lin has learned more deeply than Zhang, which is equivalent to the fact that the senior grades can listen to the classes of the lower grades, but the lower grades cannot listen to the lessons of the upper grades.

In this way, Zhang Yue also sat all morning, and when it was almost noon, the scholar Hun family had already prepared a meal and called the two to eat.

On weekdays, Guo Lin and Zhang Yue eat and read at the same table, which can save a lot of time.

But today there are good dishes, so they are eaten in Guo Xuexue's house.

Zhang Yue's big bowl of rice is so exciting that it is actually dry rice! In addition to a slice of meat, the rice also has the fat of the meat, presumably steamed with bacon on the rice, and then the fat flows into the rice.

Zhang Yue couldn't help drooling.

On the side, Guo Xuezhu held a bamboo tube full of wine, poured himself a drink, and asked Zhang Yue if he had slept well these days while drinking? Are you used to living in it?

Zhang Yue replied truthfully.

Guo Xuezhi talked and laughed while drinking.

At this time, a villager brought some freshly picked wild vegetables from the mountains and yellow eels caught in the stream. Guo Xuezhi did not stick to the identity of scholars, and pulled them to sit down at the table and drink a glass of wine.

From the conversation, Zhang Yue heard that the children of whose family had children were abandoned because the family was poor and could not afford to raise them. From these occasional sentences or two, Zhang Yue understood that his life with Guo Xuexue was already hard, but there were still more people who were not as good as them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue glanced at the lame slave, but saw that he was still drinking porridge while squatting in the corner, but this porridge was thicker than usual.

And the emaciated earth dog of the gatekeeper is also gouging in the earthen pot.

Zhang Yue was satisfied with the rice, in the bitter years, there are always some days that are sweet.

Once you have eaten at noon, it is easy to get sleepy, not the time to read. Zhang Yue immediately continued to sleep during the day, and began to take a nap beautifully, and slept until dark.

Zhang Yue opened his eyes and saw that Guo Lin was still copying books and reading hard.

Guo Lin saw that Zhang Yue woke up, put down his pen and said: "Dad said that you can read the Bible now, first start with the Book of Filial Piety, and then step by step." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Yue was sincerely happy, so good, he could finally read the scriptures. After memorizing the scriptures, I can leave this village school, leave this unreliable teacher and find another master.

Guo Lin Zhengse said: "Senior Brother Zhang is talented, ten times better than me, if you are willing to calm down and study, and work hard, you will definitely be able to gain fame in the future." ”

Zhang Yue said: "Why should Senior Brother Guo be too humble? You're a good reader, too! ”

Guo Lin smiled bitterly: "Like me, there are more people in the county." I don't know what to compare with others except to be harder than others. In two years, I will be sixteen, and I will not know anything about farm work in the fields, and if I have no interest in studying, then I will not know what to do for a living in this life. ”

Zhang Yue heard the words and said: "That's okay, if you don't do farm work, you can also be Mr. Bookkeeper?" ”

Guo Lin asked curiously, "What is Mr. Bookkeeper?" ”

If he really didn't understand anything, Zhang Yue explained: "It's just ...... It's the one who counts, you just need to know how to do it. A good bookkeeper in the county has four or five dollars a month, and he doesn't have to be exposed to the wind and sun. ”

"Arithmetic, my father didn't teach me much."

"I'll teach you!" Zhang Yue patted his chest.

"You teach me?" Guo Lin was surprised.

"I am a businessman at home, and it is not difficult to learn at all," Zhang Yue said with a smile: "But I have no foundation in learning, Senior Brother Guo ......"

Guo Lin smiled: "I'm not afraid if I don't have a foundation, as long as you are willing to work hard, I will be more attentive." ”

"Then Senior Brother Guo's burden will be heavy in the future."

They both laughed.

Zhang Yue said: "Since Mr. said that he wanted me to read the Book of Filial Piety, where is the book?" ”

Guo Lin smiled slightly and said, "You don't need a book, I'll just listen to you." ”

"What? Don't have a book? ”

Guo Lin patiently explained: "In the morning, you also listened to the pedant tell the boy a thousand-character text, a hundred family names, he read a sentence that the boys memorized, read it a thousand times, so remember it in your mind, there is no book in front of you, and there is a book in your heart." ”

Zhang Yue thought to himself, I only know what it means to have a horse in my eyes and no horse in my heart.

Zhang Yue asked uneasily: "What if you make a mistake?" I can't learn by you. ”

Guo Lin shook his head and said word by word: "Absolutely not bad." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Lin seemed to have some unpleasant memories.

"If I memorize one word wrong, I won't have anything to eat, and if I memorize two words wrong, I won't have anything to eat for a day."

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, Senior Brother Zhang won't go hungry, but that's how he reads. Not only the Book of Filial Piety, but also other articles of the Scriptures in the future are also general. Some of the scriptures and books, my father needs to go to ten miles and eight towns to borrow them, and then return them when they are familiar with them, and some of them are in a hurry, so they have to copy them down overnight. Only in the private school will always have it, but even so, there is often only one set of each scripture, and it is used in turns between classmates. ”

It's not easy to read, Zhang Yue sighed deeply.

"You have to recognize that word, right?" Zhang Yue said.

Guo Lin thought for a while and said: "Filial piety is available to Daddy, if you memorize it well, I will give you the book." I borrowed it on weekdays, but I was afraid that it would not be very cherished, and it would be damaged. Or they hold a book in their hands and always want to read it again tomorrow, so that they refuse to read it. ”

Zhang Yue said in his heart, he bought a sea of books that he didn't read in his last life, don't you know that there is a word called window dressing?

Guo Lin continued: "In this way, if you have a book in your hand and want to return it, you will study hard day and night. In the future, when you have memorized it perfectly, you will silently write the scriptures on the paper yourself, so that you can not only do it silently, but you can also read it when you have time. ”

It is said that there are even more ruthless ones, who burn books when they are cooked, and use the method of burning books to force reading.

Guo Lin said that the reading method of 'no book in his hand, but book in his heart' has become an excellent way to learn. It seems that the ancients have long been deeply involved in paperless teaching.

Guo Lin smiled and said: "Okay, I will recite the Book of Filial Piety to you, I also read a sentence from Mr. at the beginning, I followed the recitation, I only memorized it for three days, and my father praised me." ”

Immediately, Guo Lin read: "Zhong Niju, Zeng Zizhi." Zi said: The first king had the most virtuous way, so as to obey the world, the people were harmonious, and there was no resentment from top to bottom. What do you know? ”

Zhang Yue read it again.

At that moment, Guo Lin memorized a sentence, and Zhang Yue read a sentence.

After reading the eighteen chapters, Zhang Yue estimated that it took more than an hour.

But seeing Guo Lin smiled and said to Zhang Yueyan: "How difficult is it, this recitation is like reading, the first time is a rough reading, read the whole article roughly, and the following is a chapter by chapter reading and reciting." ”

"When I used it for three days, my father praised me for being smart."

The implication of Guo Lin's words is that I don't know how many days you can memorize this filial piety scripture?

Zhang Yue remembered that Ouyang Xiu once talked about his own calligraphy, reciting 300 words a day, accumulating over time, and he could memorize all the scriptures and meanings in about three and a half years.

Reciting 300 words a day is the standard of Sinoma, as for half of the talent, it can be reduced to 15 crosses a day, and it will eventually accumulate into a large one.

It seems that 300 words a day is not much, but the Book of Filial Piety is written in classical Chinese, and the recitation is based on a good word. This is not a short time to memorize, that is, it must be memorized until it is ripe.

Regarding the question of how many days he can memorize the Book of Filial Piety, Zhang Yue stretched out his hands and said that there was no pressure, although he understood that in terms of his reading performance from childhood to adulthood, he was only a middle-aged asset.

The Book of Filial Piety is about more than 2,000 words, and Guo Lin memorized it within three days, which should be regarded as a talent.

After listening to Guo Lin's recitation, Zhang Yue went to bed early.

After sleep.

Zhang Yue returned to the scene during the day, listening to Guo Lin's recitation word by word, and then reciting it himself.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh that this is not the same as reading during the day, no matter how people read during the day, they will always be distracted, disturbed by others, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, hungry, and think of Gong, even if there are no these problems, but after reading for a long time, they will inevitably be mentally or physically tired, but they do not have these problems.

At the same time, Zhang Yue also found that reading in his dreams has a great benefit, that is, he does not need lamp oil.

When I woke up the next day, Zhang Yue checked it, and I had memorized the entire Book of Filial Piety!

Guo Lin used three days, but he only used one night!
