"In next year's township exam, I am also lacking in confidence, but I just hope that I will not fall into the name of my teacher when the time comes."

When it comes to next year's autumn, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

As a person who traveled back in later generations to take the imperial examination, Liu Jin felt that when the time came, he would find an excuse to deliberately miss the exam time, at least he missed the exam, and he would not be embarrassed because he handed in a blank paper.

"If you haven't fought yet, how can you be defeated, my reputation doesn't matter, your own future is the big thing, your family is poor, it is not easy for your mother to provide you with education, you should know that the imperial examination is the only way to change your destiny, and it is also the best way to repay your mother's nurturing grace."

"I don't want to hear you say such things again, otherwise you won't enter my door again in the future, my door can be mediocre, can be unproductive, but it must not be a disloyal and unfilial person."

To Liu Jin's surprise, Master Sun reprimanded Liu Jin very seriously, and even labeled Liu Jin as disloyal and unfilial.

Think about it carefully, if you don't do well in the imperial examination, you are sorry for your mother Wang, and it is not too much to be unfilial, but this disloyalty is not considered in any way, it can only be said that this grandson still has high expectations for himself.

"Yes, students must remember the words of their teachers, and they must work hard to prepare for them, so as to live up to the teachings of their teachers and the hardships of their mothers."

There is no way, Liu Jin expressed his attitude very interestingly, in this era, loyalty and filial piety come first, if you are labeled as disloyal and unfilial, then basically don't want to mix up a little person.

"Hmm~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Master Sun nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at Liu Jin in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was very similar to himself, Sun Fuzi was actually from a poor family, and his parents tried every means to change the fate of the family, and sent him to study hard.

He is also relatively competitive, and he has won the fame of lifting people, although he has not continued to be named on the gold list, but he has the fame of lifting people, and his family can be regarded as turning over.

Don't look at him as a teacher, but his status is very high, and whoever sees him in the entire Changli County must respectfully shout Master and Sir, even if he is the county master, he must be treated politely.

Like Tang Laohu, a ruffian, a bully, or something like him who can't get on the stage, he will never dare to provoke Sun Fuzi, because Sun Fuzi is full of peach and plums, and it only takes a two-finger-wide note to pass it on is enough to make people like Tang Laohu die without a place to be buried.

Because he has a similar life experience with Liu Jin, Master Sun hopes that Liu Jin can go further, and he clearly knows the difficulty of cultivating a scholar from a poor family, not to mention that Liu Jin lost his father at a young age, so you can imagine the difficulty of Liu Jin's mother Wang.

"Sir, there are students visiting."

At this time, Master Sun's servant walked in and said.

"Who is it?"

When Master Sun heard this, he touched his goatee and asked.

"Qin Zhihe, Li Xiting, and Xie Kui."

The servant replied.

"Well, got it, take them to the living room, I'll come here."

Master Sun nodded, thought for a while and said.

"Since the teacher has something to do, the student will leave first."

Liu Jin on the side was naturally very knowledgeable and ready to leave first, anyway, he had already asked for advice, and he had already wanted to slip away.

"Don't worry, these three people are all your contemporary, and they are also classmates, just go over to chat together, get to know each other more, get to know each other, you were too withdrawn in the past, which is not good for your future path."

"You are young and have a bright future in the future, don't offend people for no reason because of your talents, make more friends, and maybe it will help you in the future."

Sun Fuzi looked at Liu Jin, and he didn't know why, the more he looked at this Liu Jin today, the more he liked it, maybe the gift given by Liu Jin really worked, maybe Liu Jin was different from before, in short, he also bothered a lot.

"Yes, students must remember the teachings of their teachers."

Liu Jin naturally nodded hurriedly and agreed.

Liu Jin from later generations is naturally not the original Liu Jin, the role of this relationship network is of course very clear, generally speaking, it is easy to walk when there are more friends, and there is no way to go when there are more enemies.

Soon, Liu Jin also followed Sun Fuzi to the living room of his house, and saw Qin Zhihe, Li Xiting, and Xie Kui, and the three of them were also slightly stunned when they saw that Liu Jin was also there.

"The student has seen the teacher~"

After being slightly stunned, the three of them quickly recovered as before, and saluted with Master Sun very respectfully.

"Well, sit down, Liu Jin, you can sit too."

Master Sun nodded with satisfaction, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite.

"I didn't expect Brother Liu to come to visit my teacher, it's really a coincidence."

Qin Zhihe greeted Liu Jin with a smile, he didn't cut Liu Jin just now, on the surface, he did a lot of work, but he had the demeanor of a scholar.

"It's a coincidence, I didn't expect that Brother Qin, Brother Li, and Brother Xie would come to visit the teacher, otherwise, we could just come together."

Liu Jin also smiled and nodded back.

"Yes, if you know that Brother Liu will come, the three of us will definitely invite Brother Liu, you and I are also fateful, both at the same time and classmates, and we will participate in the Autumn Festival together next year, if we can go to high school together and win the title of the gold list together..."

Qin Zhihe was full of smiles, he was very good-looking, a beautiful man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, this superficial work is also like a spring breeze, and I don't know that I think he has a very good relationship with Liu Jin.

"If the four of you can go to high school at the same time and be named on the gold list at the same time, I will die without regrets."

Master Sun touched his mustache and said happily, if he can teach the four protégés of the Son of Heaven at this time, the name of his Master Sun will also spread far and wide.

"The student is ashamed, I'm afraid I will disappoint my husband."

Xie Kui, who was not confident, said without confidence.

"Just do your best, in this imperial examination, strength is very important, and luck also accounts for three points."

Master Sun nodded, the level of Xie Kui and Li Xiting, he still knows, it is already very good to be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and if you want to be admitted to the exam, it is estimated that it will take some years to sharpen it.

"The three of you came over this time, I don't know what happened?"

After thinking about it, Master Sun also asked.

"We came here this time, firstly, the weather has been cold recently, ice and snow, we came to see the teacher, my family recently got a Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, specifically sent to the teacher to make up for the body, Brother Wenda knitted a coat at home to send to the teacher to keep out the cold, Brother Yinglin also got a good wolf pen to send to the teacher to practice calligraphy."

Qin Zhihe smiled and said respectfully, this Changbai Mountain wild ginseng is naturally very precious in later generations, it was not too precious in the Ming Dynasty, but it is definitely not cheap, as for the gifts given by Li Xiting and Xie Kui, it is naturally a lot of thought and money.

"You have a heart."

Master Sun touched his beard, nodded and said.

"Second, the three of us also came to ask the master about the things related to the township test, although it is still early before the autumn season, but after calculating it, time is running out, and if you prepare early, you can be more sure."

Qin Zhihe smiled and continued to talk about the real purpose of coming this time, seeing that Master Sun was just an excuse, and it was really for the township test.

This Sun Fuzi has also taken the township exam many times before, and finally got lucky in high school, but the later exams have been repeatedly missed, and the exam once every three years, Sun Fuzi has also relied on many times, and he has accumulated extremely rich experience in the exam.

"Regarding the township examination, I have already taught you all the things that can be taught, with your talent, there should be no problem with the township examination, but when taking the exam, you must pay attention to the big taboos and small taboos, and this taboo thing in the imperial examination must be avoided, otherwise no matter how well the article is written, it will be in vain."

"After all, we belong to Beizhili, it can be said that we are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this time every township test, compared with other provinces, the imperial court will pay more attention to it, and it will receive more attention, you must keep this in mind."

Master Sun thought about it and said in a deep voice.

The big taboo and small taboo mentioned here refer to some taboo things in the imperial examination, and there are many taboo things, such as the Ming Dynasty, the word 'pig' was more taboo, because the pig is homophonic with Zhu, the Ming Dynasty emperor's surname is Zhu, and there are also the names of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, etc., in short, there are still a lot of taboo things, and sometimes even the content of the chief examiner's taboo has to pay special attention.

"Yes, students must keep it in mind."

When Liu Jin and the four of them heard this, they immediately hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Hmm~"

Master Sun nodded with satisfaction, and then didn't say more, he himself was lucky enough to get the township test, to be honest, this level is actually limited, too many things will only expose his level, it is better not to say it.

Qin Zhihe looked at Master Sun and knew that this trip was in vain, but when his eyes saw Liu Jin, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Liu, a few days ago, I received an invitation from Qiu Wencheng, the head of the Shuntian Mansion, and he invited the talented people from several prefectures around us to go to Beijing to participate in the autumn and winter poetry meeting together, and at the same time discuss the affairs of next year's autumn together, I don't know if Brother Liu is interested in going together?" ”

"Going to Beijing to participate in the Autumn and Winter Poetry Meeting?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, he had been over for a few months, and he had never been to a big place so far, and now he had the opportunity to go to Beijing to have a look, and he was naturally very excited.

"I don't know when?"

After thinking about it, Liu Jin asked.

"The tenth day of the first month of October will be held in Beijing, if Brother Liu wants to go, we can set off together the day after tomorrow."

Qin Zhihe's eyebrows moved slightly, he just habitually invited Liu Jin, and he didn't expect Liu Jin to go.

"On the tenth day of October, we will set off the day after tomorrow."

"Well, yes, this time there will be Brother Lao Qin."

Liu Jin thought about it and nodded, it is also very good to go to Beijing to see it, as for any poetry meeting, Liu Jin is not interested in it at all.
