"The student meets Mr. Suyuki."

Since the king has to call each other seniors, it is absolutely right to call each other sir.

"Sure enough, it's a talent table."

Seeing that Wang Xing was like a crown of jade, his stature was not high, but his posture was straight, and he walked with the graceful bearing of a scholar, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and the guests praised him at the moment.

The old man looked fifty upwards, and he was born with kind eyebrows, but there was a majesty in his eyebrows. Wang Xingping only glanced at it, then moved his gaze down, and he should pay attention to the scholars with status, and not be overdone.

The blue silk belt, the natural color waist skirt, and the head wearing a half-old Dongpo scarf, although the dress is only ordinary, but with this bearing, the identity of the guest should be unusual.

Wang Xingping's expression was free, and he replied with a smile: "I don't dare to be a gentleman, it's just that I don't dare to sweat." ”

This allusion in "The World Speaks New Language" tells the story of Zhong Yu and Zhong Hui brothers of Wei State.

Because of their great reputation in the country, at the age of thirteen, the two brothers were summoned by Emperor Cao Pi of Wei along with their father Zhong Xuan. Seeing the emperor, Zhong Yu kept sweating, and Cao Pi asked: "Why is Qingmian sweating?" Zhong Yu replied: "Trembling and sweating. He asked Zhong Hui again: "Why doesn't Qing sweat?" He said: "Trembling, sweating dare not come out." ”

This is a story of urgency and wisdom, which is used to illustrate the youth and old age of Zhonghui, and it is also a confirmation of his future actions.

There are few scholars in the Ming Dynasty who do not read history, although "The World Says New Words" is an idle book, but it is seriously included in the "Taiping Guangji" compiled by Song Taizong, which has many allusions, and will not fail to read.

Moreover, with the popularity of scripts and storytelling, these jokes have long been told in the market with the Three Kingdoms many times. Wang Xingping used this sentence back and forth, but it was wonderful, he did not depreciate his identity, but also lifted the other party up, and subtly made his face sufficient, and the distance between them was also shortened, and even Wang Mingde had to praise it secretly in his heart.

The old man really entered the alley, turned his face to Wang Mingde and laughed.

"I don't dare to be Emperor Wei Wendi, but I think your nephew is probably stronger than Zhong Shiji."

While saying that, the old man came out again and helped Wang Xingping up, and said, "I heard your uncle say that you study at home all day, but you don't want to be a good person, very good, very good." ”

At this time, when I looked at this old man Suzhi, I felt a little more cordial, and I didn't see the straight face of the traditional scholar.

Wang Mingde said on the side again: "Su's predecessor is a Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Wanli, and he has three subjects earlier than your uncle's high school years. ”

The old man said humbly: "There is no order in the field, and Cunsi and I are equals, and we are purely like-minded." There is no color in the rhetoric.

Listening to the tone of this old man, it seems that the relationship with Wang Zunde is extraordinary, and he is a jinshi, most of them are also officials in the DPRK and China, presumably this person's grade is not low, although he is official, but he still has an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's not surprising to think about it, Messie used to do statistics before, and he also saw the results. In the Ming generation, the Jinshi of Zhejiang and Fujian together accounted for nearly half of the country, and it is really common to meet a Jinshi master who speaks with Wu Yin, but it is not right if he speaks the local native language.

Wang Mingde on the side asked, "The virtuous nephew is free today." ”

Wang Xingping said calmly, "Thinking that tomorrow is my uncle's birthday, and my nephew is now guarding the house, it is inconvenient to come to congratulate, so I prepared some etiquette to send it to express my heart, and my mother also has a congratulatory ceremony." ”

When he entered the door, Wang Xingping had already instructed Wang Xiaoliu to settle with the Wang family's subordinates, but they were all ordinary cloth utensils, and the Wang family's servants would present the gift list after the guests left.

Wang Mingde took a fancy to this nephew, and didn't care about the gift, so he replied. "Sister-in-law has a heart, go back and thank your mother on my behalf." ”

was allowed into the hall, humbled each other, and the three of them sat down separately, Wang Xingping looked for his own head, and waited for the two elders to sit down before they sat down.

"I heard that Wang Jiaxian's nephew is studying at home these days? What do you read? ”

The elders asked the juniors, and they were scholars, and most of them had to ask such a sentence, when they came to see Wang Mingde alone, this clan uncle usually came to ask the same, and today this guest still opened like this.

"Mr. Hui's words, the four books have been read through, and I can read some idle books when I have nothing to do."

"Idle books? Let's hear it. It can be seen that the old man was quite happy to hear that Wang Xingping was reading idle books.

The Four Books and Five Classics are the foundation of the imperial examination since the Song Dynasty, the four books are the Analects, Mencius, the Mean, and the University, and the Five Classics are the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period.

Probably in the Ming Dynasty scientific examination, the four book questions are compulsory, although it is difficult to get the question because of the few words in the "University", but it does not mean that it will not be examined, it is necessary to read through.

However, the Five Classics are elective, the so-called Monopoly One Classic.

There are many people who read idle books, either they are hopeless in the imperial examination, or they are only able to learn, but they all have to be scholars. A young and scholarly teenager like Wang Xingping wastes his time on idle books before he has yet to gain fame, at least he has full confidence in his talents.

In Wang Xingping's view, the imperial examination of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty was limited by the eight-strand text, and the form was too rigid, as long as they were familiar with the content of the scriptures and could be used well, the rest depended on the vision, and in terms of vision, he asked himself to be much higher than these Ming Dynasty scholars, so he was still very confident in the imperial examination with several years of preparation, at least it was not difficult to take the exam.

If you want to adapt to the times, you must seek the most convenient way to improve yourself, and fame through the imperial examination is a shortcut.

Since there are no taboos, there is nothing to say.

Wang Xingping replied: "In the past few days, I have been reading Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Ji Xiao". ”

Qi Shaobao is Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Jiajing period, known for his resistance to the Japanese, and his "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" is a summary of his experience in training and administering the army when he suppressed the Japanese in the southeast coast.

Because of his merits, he was awarded the special Guanglu doctor Shaobao and the prince Taibao, so now the people who call Qi Shaobao are all talking about Qi Jiguang.

This book is not similar to the popular "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Zi" in the world today, but only talks about the general outline, but proceeds from the details, and gives detailed points to the management of the army in terms of troop selection, equipment, orders, and camps, and even has a special section on the stove to explain the importance of logistical support. It is extremely helpful to understand the situation of the Ming Dynasty army.

Because he often needed to go out to do business, the royal father felt that the training of knives and guns and other equipment in this book was quite detailed, so he also collected a book, which was used by Zuo Xiaolin to lead the three cabinets to teach the students.

"Book of War...... But it's because of Lingzun's business. ”

When the old man heard this, he asked, Wang Xingping, in order to avenge his father, together with the defenders of Xifeng, destroyed a stream of red seedlings and broke a local gang of thieves, he also heard about it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, doctors liked to talk about military affairs, which was a current trend, and "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" was different from the hollowness of ordinary military books after all.

There is never a shortage of young people reading military books, and places such as Shanyin County, where their hometown is full of literary styles, are all the same, not to mention Guizhou.

"There are some reasons, but not all." Wang Xingping's answer did not show emotion.

The old man no longer asked Wang Xingping, as if recalling: "I remember that Qi Shaobao wrote this book in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, and the old man was born in the forty years of Jiajing, and this book is one year older than the old man." ”

"Sir is well-informed."

Wang Xingping thought to himself that this person who was mostly from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, should have been familiar with Qi Jiguang's anecdotes since he was a child, and it was impossible to be completely unaware of it.

But he heard Wang Mingde ask the old man on the side: "Speaking of which, Qi Shaobao and Mr. Lingzun Weng Yanghe also seem to have a lot of origins. ”

I listened to the old man's speech with a slight sadness, "When my father was there, I recommended Xu Wenchang to enter Hu Xiangmao's curtain, and Qi Shaobao also praised it a lot when he fought against the Japanese, but it was also a matter of the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, when I was not born. ”

Xu Wenchang is Xu Wei, a famous scholar in Shaoxing, and Xie Jin, who presided over the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", and Yang Shen, a friend of Li Dongyang, a university scholar, are known as the "three great talents in the world", even if Wang Xingping knew his name in the previous life.

He was uninhibited all his life, tried and failed, and finally followed Hu Zongxian into the scene, mostly for Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang to counsel the military affairs, and most of the Hu Xiangmao in the mouth of the old man was Hu Zongxian.

"Speaking of which, Xu Wenchang accidentally killed his wife back then, but it was his father and Zhu Zhuangyuan who ran for him in many ways to exonerate him."

Wang Mingde praised on the side: "The two champions said for them, which is also a big face." ”

Xu Wei is a famous man, and the section of Xu Wei killing his wife has also been widely spread in Daming as a celebrity anecdote, even Wang Xingping's juvenile memories in this life have some bits and pieces.

Regardless of the right or wrong reason for killing his wife, just the two champion friends tried their best to rescue him, it can indeed be said to be a big face, and it is an honor for ordinary people to have a best friend who is a jinshi, not to mention the champion, or two.

The champions and Zhu Dashou are the champions of the 35th palace test of Jiajing, and Xu Wei is a fellow villager in Shaoxing and a good friend, of course, these Wang Xingping don't know.

It's just that after listening to Wang Mingde's compliment, I know that the old man's father is also a champion, and the old man himself is a Jinshi, so if it's such a family, not to mention Guizhou, even if it's Jiangnan, it's amazing, so it's no wonder that Wang Mingde is so respectful.

The old man turned the topic back and asked Wang Xingping with interest, "Since the virtuous nephew is reading Qi Shaobao's book, do you have some experience?" ”

This is the old man who wants to take the test Wang Xingping, there are many people who are good at reading and don't seek to understand much, the old man is from Zhejiang, and he has such a relationship with the Qi family, he is right, but he wants to make jokes.

However, Wang Xingping has never believed in himself, only said the true thoughts in his heart, and there will be no mistake in thinking about it, and many years of experience have told him that the more talented and learned people are, the easier it is to communicate, but he is an ordinary fool and foolish woman, and he is quite dependent on coping with the market, so he will tell it respectfully.

"I don't dare to say what I learned, Qi Shaobao's method of governing the army in the southeast is all in this book, which can be said to be extremely thorough, but after reading it, I can't help but sigh."

The means of wanting to promote and suppress are the basic means of attracting the audience, but it is new to the old man's ears, and he is really interested.

"What is the good nephew sighing for?"

"I only sigh how stupid the world is, thinking that after reading a few military books, everything can be followed, but I don't know that the law of the moment should be used for the time, and there is no one-size-fits-all truth."

Wang Mingde had long been impressed by the insight of this nephew, but the old man, when he first heard Wang Xingping's words, suddenly felt interesting, and listened more and more attentively.

[Note: Hu Zongxian's nickname Xiangmao was posthumously given in the sixth year of Longqing, so it can be used at this time, but the old man's father's nickname Wen Gong was posthumously given after the apocalypse, so the title in this section is only given by number]
