Chapter 4 The Solemnity of Shimoxi
Shi Moxi saw that Zhixian's face was slightly softened, his heart was relieved, and he continued to cry: "It is the teachings of the county school and Zhang Xundao who are greedy for our food. It's a shame that I can't eat enough, I'm hungry, and I can't continue my studies. ”
The county magistrate's eyes followed what Shi Moxi pointed to, and he saw the two people who looked panicked on the side.
Seeing that the old man of Zhixian County's face sank like water, he knew that it was not good, so he pulled Zhang Xundao, and he didn't care about his identity, so he knelt down on the ground.
"My lord, the villain admits that he has deducted the food of the students with Zhang Xundao, and he is willing to be punished." The teachings know that they can't hide things, so they can only confess frankly.
However, the teachings didn't want to make this little student who ruined the rest of his life feel better, so he changed his words: "But at this time, Moxi disregarded the dignity of his teacher, recklessly behaved and was immoral, beat Zhang Xundao in public, and insulted the two of us. ”
The priest knew that he was hopeless, so he put pressure on the county magistrate in person.
Zhang Xundao on the side heard this, and there was still a little hope left, and he glared at Shi Moxi with a vicious face.
The county magistrate still doesn't know the mind of this teaching, but he is helpless, if a scholar is charged with disrespecting the teacher, his reputation will be wrecked, and his reputation for the imperial examination may be taken away.
Although Shi Moxi didn't care about Xiucai's fame, he also knew that this little student would bring a lot of convenience to his future life in Daming, so he naturally didn't want to give up in vain.
"My lord, the villain did punch Zhang Xundao on the street, but the insult is pure fiction, could it be that the lord would believe such a greedy person."
There is no way to justify the crowd beating people on the street, but no one knows when Shi Moxi scolds, so he can naturally deny it generously.
"You, villain! Villain! Don't be cheeky, don't dare to do it. The priest was furious when he heard this.
"Since the teacher said that the student insulted the two of you, can you tell me what I scolded?" Shi Moxi asked rhetorically.
"You!" The teacher is speechless, you don't want to be cheeky, the old man still wants it. Am I still an old fool to say that I am disloyal and immoral in front of hundreds of people?
The county magistrate looked at Shi Moxi, who was reckless, and showed some appreciation, but he was also very distressed about him making trouble for himself, no matter how he dealt with today's affairs, in the assessment of the big plan, it was the sin of not being strict under his own governance.
"Shut your mouths all for me, what kind of noise is it in the street!"
The two of them were busy prostrate on the ground, and Shi Moxi was immediately silent.
The magistrate looked around at the people, "Qingyuan County learns and teaches and teaches, dereliction of duty and greed, disturbs the great cause of the imperial examination in our county, strips me of meritorious official positions, and temporarily detains them, and then makes a decision when the amount of embezzlement is ascertained." ”
When the two of them heard this, their faces were like ashes, and they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but all this could only be achieved in the procrastination of the officials.
"The county magistrate is wise, he is simply in the world, which is really admired by the students! I hate to learn half a point. Shi Moxi patted his ass at the right time.
Thousands of people don't wear sycophants, and when the magistrate heard this, his heart was also very refreshing, and most of the annoyance in his heart was gone.
The court officials take the examination every three years, take the examination again in six years, and take the examination in nine years, and this year is the year of the general examination of the county, but although there is no disaster under the rule, it is also not a meritorious achievement.
Especially today's saint attaches great importance to the imperial examination, he has been in office in Qingyuan County for nine years, and there are very few people, and it is really a big stain on the assessment, and he is satisfied if he can adjust it evenly, so he does not have much blame for Shi Moxi.
"It's called Shi Moxi, right?"
"The students are here." Shi Moxi replied respectfully.
"The people came with you, and the official doesn't blame you, but if you beat the teacher, if you stab the teacher in Taiyuan Mansion, the official can't afford it, so the punishment still has to be given, what do you have to say?" Zhixian looked at Shi Moxi playfully, wanting to see how this slightly different teenager would answer.
"Students know that they are wrong and are willing to be punished, but if adults want to take away the reputation of students, students have nothing to say."
"Oh? Then why is the official still a little unconvinced? The magistrate asked playfully.
Shi Moxi knew that the bell had already sounded, and the time to show the demeanor of Wen Copying Gong had come.
Shi Moxi held his head high and looked directly at the magistrate. The face is six points resolute, three points unyielding, and one point of struggle and shame.
The actor's tears rolled in his eyes, and some grievances and the man's persistence were revealed.
"Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. The sonorous and powerful poems slowly recited from the mouth of Shi Moxi.
"Students will not embarrass adults, even if adults cut off the students' fame, but even so, students will not give up their sage learning, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, they will never stop students from learning!" Shi Moxi's eyes were full of tears, and his body was straight, with a bit of generosity to die.
"Good poetry! Good poetry! I can't imagine that I have such a talent in Qingyuan County! ”
The magistrate stroked his palms and laughed: "It's a good sentence that is still strong after thousands of blows, and the wind is blowing." Hahaha, what a strong-boned, young and frivolous student! ”
Zhixian seemed to think of something, and the more he looked at it, the more he admired Moxi, and even the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were smiling, "What is the name of this poem?" But what did you do? ”
When Shi Moxi saw this, he knew that he was safe, and he hurriedly took back his acting skills and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "This poem is called "Bamboo and Stone" because the students have feelings, and it is definitely not intended to offend the county magistrate. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the official can see your character from your poems, but the punishment is inevitable, and the qualifications of the students are left, but don't ask for it anymore."
Shi Moxi happily agreed, anyway, he will definitely not be able to keep the students in the next year's assessment, "Thank you for the kindness of Lord Zhixian!" ”
"Alright. You can go back, the ink-greedy silver money county government will compensate you in the near future, I will find you to do some things in a few days, don't leave Qingyuan County in the near future. The magistrate waved his hand and went back to the mansion.
The surrounding people saw that the excitement was gone, and Shi Moxi also loudly thanked the people who followed.
"Looking for something about me? What can the magistrate do with me, you can't look at my body! Shi Moxi's body shuddered, and he didn't dare to think about it again.
"Brother Shi! You're really amazing, it's the first time I've seen someone dare to talk to the county magistrate so hard. Li Shizhu, who was not far away, ran over excitedly.
"You kid has a lot of cleverness!" Shi Moxi looked at this big boy who was a head taller than him, and the hand that wanted to touch his head couldn't help but retract.
"Damn, I really don't know how it grows, who can believe that this is a fourteen-year-old child."
Shi Moxi, who was becoming more and more familiar with the ancient environment, took Li Shizhu's arm and walked to Aunt Li's house.
"Stone Hammer, shouldn't you help Uncle Li strike iron at this time, why are you still here, did Aunt Li ask you to come and see me?"
"Oh! The candles at home are gone, and the flint alone will catch fire tomorrow and it will be late, my father asked me to come out to buy some, and I happened to meet you, so I didn't want to help you. Li Shizhu explained.
Shi Moxi was stunned for a moment, and the memories of his previous life came to his heart, "Sending candles, is it just a match?" ”
"Matches? What matches? Brother Shi, haven't I heard of matches? Li Shizhu asked suspiciously.
