Fan Ming smiled slightly, and said: "A scholar asked his servant to take his body size to a cloth village to make a long robe, but the tailor first asked the master's age, and the next person was puzzled, so he asked why the tailor should ask the age, and replied: When you are young and famous, you are open-minded, and when you are young and famous, your back is curved and your pneumothorax is slightly narrow. ”

"Haha......" Old Master Gong suddenly laughed, "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, if so, this referee can not be said to be a wonderful person!" ”

Fan Ming was secretly glad for his inspiration, and seeing that Old Master Gong was in a good mood, he took a step forward and bowed to the end, "Sir, why don't you just accept the kid?" ”

"Take, take!" Old Master Gong waved his hand, "Your family is not good, you still have to work, plus you are old, you don't have to be classmates with others, you will study at home from tomorrow, if you don't understand something, come and ask me, I will check my homework regularly, and you must not be lazy." ”

Reading requires a day, and the second requires diligence, both of which Fan Ming does not have in the opinion of Master Gong, and the poor children of the poor family who are in difficulty at home are generally rarely able to persevere, so he also gave him two hand-copied "Kindergarten Texts" and "Thousand Character Texts", and asked him to recite and copy them back again to verify his skills, but the time is not limited, only that he will hand in his homework after he is completely familiar with it.

These two books are both enlightenment books, but the words are very beautiful, and the number of words is not too much, and he estimates that it will not take more than two days to memorize the words, but if he fully understands the allusions of the words, he can only come back and ask Gong Fuzi again.

After Master Gong explained some exhortations and exhortations, Fan Ming thanked him for learning from the village, and now although he has finally entered the ranks of scholars, according to the words of later generations, this is the first step of the Long March, and the next days still have to work diligently.

Walking on the road, Fan Ming suddenly recalled a message occasionally mentioned by the old master Gong, who said that since the new emperor took the throne, the new party has gained power, and the court has changed the law greatly, and he only then remembered that this year happened to be the beginning of the vigorous Xining reform, and then not only economically, politically, but even the imperial examination and scholars are facing reforms.

In the impression that Wang Anshi once thought that "if you want a morality, you should repair the school, and if you want to repair the school, the tribute law cannot be changed", the tunnel reform tribute method, abolish the Ming scriptures, save the Jinshi, and specialize in taking the Jinshi a subject.

It seems that this is really the right time, if you really rely on poetry, fu, and theory, even if you give him ten years, you may not be able to compare with the scholars who grew up in this environment, but if you only take the current policy theory, this is a bit of an advantage.

With the rest of the money, he went to the only grocery store in the town to buy the four treasures of the study, and was about to walk in the direction of home, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned around and walked back to the direction of Caofu.

This time he wanted to find a copy of the copybook, in addition to the good knowledge of the reader, the word is also a very important criterion, and this is precisely his weakness, if you can find a set of more popular copybooks will be the best.

He has always believed that Chinese characters can only have real charm when written with a brush, although his characters are okay compared with those so-called readers who can only play the keyboard in later generations, but they are too far from the real readers of this era.

The four great calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai", can be called the top in the Song Dynasty and even in the entire history of calligraphy.

Moreover, the standard font of later generations, Song Ti, was formed in this era, and if there is no good hand in this era, it will definitely not be mixed.

The porter Lao Futou knew Fan Ming, who had come with the head of the household yesterday, and also knew that he was going to come to the study to borrow books, so he took the key and led him to the study, and after explaining some rules to him, he closed the door and retreated.

Seeing Lao Futou walk out of the study, Fan Ming immediately fell his eyes to the full bookshelves, put his hands behind his back, carefully swept the books on the shelves, frowned and shook his head, too many books on the shelves are 'advanced' reading materials such as commentary, and now there are "Kindergarten Literature" and "Thousand Character Text", which are not suitable for him.

Suddenly, in a corner at the top of the bookshelf, Fan Ming saw an inconspicuous book of words, but the words on the cover made him a little ecstatic, it turned out to be "Self-written Poems"!

Cai Xiang's "Self-Written Poems" is Cai among the four great calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai", and he is also his favorite calligrapher. Cai Xiang calligraphy inherited the style of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and a little innovation, although Cai Xiang is not a master of the founding of the sect, but also a key figure in the whole succession, the most important thing is that Cai Xiang has passed away, his pen has become a masterpiece, and I don't know whether this pen is really Cai Xiang's real handwriting.

Carefully hid this notebook in his arms, and after being delighted, Fan Ming then swept the bookshelf, and after making sure that there were no more suitable books for him, he walked out of the study, and now everything is ready, and he only needs to read carefully.

Imagining the title of the gold list in the future, experiencing the first place in the three fortunate events of life, and the pleasant feeling of becoming famous all over the world, Fan Ming can't help but faintly look forward to the future scientific examination, which is absolutely not experienced by the vanity society in the future.

When he returned home, just in time for Fan Qin's two to cook, making wheat bran and bean soup, holding a coarse porcelain bowl, Fan Ming didn't have a taste in his heart, this was used as feed for domestic animals in later generations, but he also knew that the situation at home was not good now, and seeing that the days were a little easier, the small family had to live frugally in case of emergency.

In addition, he used 200 yuan a day to apprentice today, and the days after this are still tight, and he has also made up his mind that he will still help his family do more farm work while studying in the future, at least so that the family does not have to worry about food and clothing.

Thinking like this, his heart was also a lot calmer, and after eating indiscriminately, Fan Ming couldn't wait to enter the room, opened the "Kindergarten Literature", the familiar and elegant brush words came into view, and the font of Old Master Gong's handwriting has his unique taste, the words are like his person, long and bright.

Compared with the "Thousand Character Text", "Kindergarten Literature" is still relatively close to the vernacular, similar to the seven-character quatrain, which is expressed in plain language, and there is no resistance to reading.

In the poem: "Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells in the book." There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is a woman in the book who is like jade. The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read in front of the window. ”

When reading this, Fan Ming couldn't help but shake his head and smile, among them, it is an interesting way to openly encourage the struggle for the "Gold List Title" since he was a child.

Savor the taste of it, the pleasure of reading that I haven't experienced for a long time suddenly overflowed in my heart, "learning and excellence is the master, and the excellence is learning", this inevitable connection between learning and the teacher Fan Ming suddenly seems to be a lot more transparent, perhaps this is the biggest fun in life.
