The genealogy is located on the west side of Rongguo Mansion and the west side of Ningrong Street, not far away, a mile away, and is supported by people with titles in the Jia clan. There are currently only two titles in Jiafu, Jia Yu, the first-class general of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen, the third-class Weilie general of Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen is still the patriarch. Although Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, is a Jinshi of the Yimao Branch, he is in the Xuanzhen Alchemy outside the capital, and he was born as a Jinshi, but he has no intention of being an official, does he see through the red dust and avoid right and wrong, or does he want to cultivate to the stage of transformation and ascend to the immortal realm?

"Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky. Come to Hong to go to geese, birds to songworms......"

On a spring morning, the air was fresh, and the morning light shone through the mist into the classroom window, and they read out the catchy "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment".

After breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, and starting, there are eight strands, which are paired with each other, imaginary words to imaginary words, real words to real words, and to speak flat sounds, so this "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" and the like are necessary to learn. Of course, the difficulties of Baguwen do not stop there, and we will talk about it later.

Jia Dairu roughly talked about a few "Book of Songs", and when he rested at noon, Jia Cong saw that there were many people who came to the school to study, in addition to Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Yan, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rui, Xue Pan, Jin Rong, Xianglian, Yuai, Jia Qiang......

Suddenly, Jia Cong had already deduced the details of the original work according to various signs and age, Qin Zhong did not come to the school, but Baoyu and Qin Zhong already knew each other, and they would develop a relationship next year......

According to Mr. Zhou Ruchang's "Dream of Red Mansions, New Certificate, Calendar of Red Mansions", this year is the ninth year, next year Qin Keqing "gets sick", and the year after tomorrow "Qin Keqing died and sealed the dragon and banned the captain", no, according to the more ancient "Fat Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record", it should be "Qin Keqing's obscene funeral Tianxianglou......

Will the tragic Dream of Red Mansions change its trajectory because of his unexpected appearance?

Mengxue he has memorized like a stream, the five classics in the Shun Dynasty township test, the examination, the palace test to choose a scripture, four books must be read, in addition to the four books, Jia Cong specializes in the "Book of Songs", he has a previous life of learning methods, memory plus understanding, fragmented absorption, classification and absorption, etc., plus the previous life of the foundation of Chinese culture, is not very difficult.

Jia Dairu is Jia Cong's clan uncle, and is also one of the few remaining generations of generations, he has not been admitted to Xiucai for decades, and he is an old boy, but he has also passed the county examination and the government examination, and he has repeatedly failed to pass the hospital examination.

Jia Cong humbly listened to Jia Dairu's explanation of "The Book of Songs, National Style" in class, and did not deal with it perfunctory like other naughty children, and had a lot of experience.

At the end of the Shen period, the courtyard of the school was noisy, after school, the people in Yongdao were in groups, like birds out of the cage, Sun Futi was wrapped in the back, Jia Cong asked him to prepare five taels of silver, and said: "Don't go back to the house first, go to the door of the master to meet you." ”

……

Three walls, one exit is facing Ningrong Street, there are houses in the north and east, all green tile huts, divided into several rooms, the north main house is used as a living room, there are still two partial rooms, there is only one girl, this is the home of the ancestor Jia Dairu.

"Why does Cong'er need to spend so much?" Jia Dairu put down the book, welcomed the grandson into the living room, ordered the girl to bring tea, and promised it, but accepted the silver twice.

"As a grandson's patriarchal teacher, it is natural for the grandfather to receive some gifts. The grandfather is also the grandchild's uncle, so what does it matter if the grandchildren are filial? Jia Cong sat down, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and not busy drinking tea.

Jia Dairu's family, compared with Ning and Rong's two mansions, is like heaven and earth, Jia Dairu's grandson Jia Rui coveted Wang Xifeng, and was killed by Wang Xifeng's "lovesickness plan", during which Jia Rui couldn't afford to buy ginseng, so he had to go to Xifu to ask for ...... Jia Cong knew this information from the Red Mansion and knew that Jia Dairu would receive gifts, so he naturally had a pertinence and purpose in doing so.

"It is rumored that Jia Cong has changed his temperament, and it is true." Jia Dairu thought to himself and asked, "Do you have something to ask for?" ”

"Master Mingjian, the grandson of the clan is presumptuous." Jia Cong stood up and said, "The grandson of the clan asked the master to come up with a question, and wanted to write a current article on the spot." If you can enter the eyes of the grandfather, please also ask the grandfather to tell the family on his behalf that the grandson wants to participate in the Wanping County test in the year of Renshen. If you can't see it, the grandchildren of the clan will listen to the teachings and then learn it. ”

"What?! Can you write eight strands? Do you want to take this year's county exam? Jia Dairu was shocked, stood up suddenly, looked at this grandson with blazing eyes, polite and sincere, how could it be compared to his grandson Jia Rui, although he didn't believe it, because there was a gift first, he said: "It's okay, you hear the question 'dog barking' clearly, start to solve the problem, if the topic is not broken, you don't have to do it again." ”

The dog barks, from "Mencius, Gongsun Chou, Shang", the original words are "the rooster cries and the dog barks and reaches the four realms", which is what Mencius said to King Hui of Liang.

This is the necessity of familiarizing yourself with the four books, if the four books are not ripe, how can they be broken? How to write?

The girl held the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jia Cong studied four books hard in January, plus the foundation of the previous life, and was about to approach the realm of integration, how could the topic not be familiar, I thought for a moment, wrote a few strokes of face, and broke the topic:

"There are similar things to those who can observe the same customs."

Mencius was talking to King Hui of Liang about the customs of Qi at that time, and Jia Cong began to cover the whole topic, majestic!

"Good!" Jia Dairu was stunned, and his doubts couldn't help but drop a few points, it can be seen that Jia Cong learned outdated literature, so I don't know who taught him, is it self-taught?

"The husband and the dog are also the common animals of the people...... If you say, the debater, so the view of the national customs ...... "to undertake the topic, the beginning of the talk is still decent.

Get to the point...... It is the fifteenth national style, and Lu Lingzhimei boasts of the strength of the East China Sea. There are even 3,000 diners, dogs and thieves compete for power, and they taste the dangers of Western Qin......"

It took almost half an hour to finish writing an eight-strand essay. The starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares are impeccable in the balance and confrontation, but Jia Dairu, who is an old boy and has been lecturing for many years, still found a loophole, which has nothing to do with whether the style of the Bagu Wen is qualified, but the contradiction in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This is another difficulty in Baguwen: the evidence. An eight-strand essay, speaking on behalf of the sages and quoting scriptures, will naturally involve historical facts, and once the examiner reads out the contradictions in your historical facts, the volume will fall. Eight shares, how many ancestors have been stumped.

Jia Dairu did not remind Jia Cong in time, an eight-year-old boy, can write a qualified eight-strand essay, it is extremely rare, although a little incredible, but it is not so incredible, there are also prodigies in history, Jia Dairu encouraged: "You do impress me, this art, I will pass it on to Ling Zun, so it seems that you are familiar with the four books, it is not appropriate to abandon your studies in the clan study, you should find a good teacher to guide." ”

I also found a copy of "Eight Strands of Enlightenment" and a copy of "Words to Use" from the study, and admonished: "Although you are my grandson and my student, I should contribute to my own efforts, and I should usually figure out and study, and guard against arrogance and rashness." But this year's Wanping County test, whether it can catch up, it is not yet known, next year, the three boys test for one year, and then the township test, it is not impossible, or don't be too anxious. ”

"Yes, the grandson of the clan has thanked the grandfather." Jia Cong collected the two books and left the "Dog Barking", because Jia Dairu was a teacher and the uncle of Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, and it was smoother for him to come forward.

……

At three o'clock, the master and servant returned to the small courtyard, Jia Cong routinely played Tai Chi, did push-ups, running, exercised for half an hour, then bathed, burned incense, and carefully read "Eight Strands of Enlightenment" and "Words for Use" in the study of the Bandit Jian Hall.

Although he moved out of Jia Amnesty Hospital, so far, only Jia Yingchun is really regarded as a relative by Jia Cong, this kind of wealthy family, family affection is already weak, false and wronged, false affection, and more of the shackles and shackles of etiquette, rules, and etiquette. Jia Baoyu naturally disdains to be with him, Lin Daiyu is only close to Baoyu among men, and Xue Baochai, the purpose of the draft may not be like him.

After the failure of the draft, Xue Baochai retreated to Jia Baoyu, at this time, Baochai has a pleasant appearance, sophisticated and sleek, but his heart is very arrogant, a little sick, and the "cold incense pill" made is more troublesome than the elixir, which seems to be too squeamish...... What is it? I'm afraid it's the princess's illness, and it will be cured.

Jia Huan and Jia Lan can say a few words, it is true that Jia Huan has a bad character, and Jia Cong prefers Jia Lan.

Shaking his head slightly, eliminating distracting thoughts, Jia Cong understood the intention of Jia Dairu to give him "Words to Use", which is a word substitution for Baguwen, for example, Confucius wants to call "Zhixian", the royal temple number and name must not be committed, it is a very practical book.

"From this point of view, the ancestor of the clan has good intentions." Jia Cong has a good impression of Jia Dairu.

As for the disadvantages of Baguwen, it is also a helpless thing, Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once ordered the abolition of the imperial examination, and then it was not implemented in the same way? Didn't the ancients know the disadvantages of Baguwen? No, there are also people from Jinshi in Chinese history who hate Bagu, but what is the solution to grasp the disadvantages and hold on? Compared with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the imperial examination is much fairer, and there are no drawbacks to modern education?

Just like the "three-inch golden lotus" that almost no one in the late Ming Dynasty doctor does not like the "three-inch golden lotus" that women wrap their small feet, an era has the characteristics, trends, and customs of an era, Jia Cong believes that it is wrong to blindly criticize it, and any society has drawbacks, and it is better to minimize the disadvantages as much as possible.

Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface": The future looks at the present, and the past is also seen from the present. The emotions of later generations looking at modern times may become the emotions of today's people looking at ancient times?

……

Another morning, Jia pardoned the night royal girl, controlled by drugs, but the body was exhausted, the courtyard room, Mrs. Xing proposed: "Master, since the pomegranate out of the house, Cong'er's girl has not been arranged, the master ...... it"

"Why don't you take one out of you and my girl, or buy a new one? What's so hard about that? Jia Yu said sleepily, it is not possible not to arrange a girl to serve, everyone has no girl, how can it be like words.

Mrs. Xing thought for a while and said, "What I mean is to ask the old lady for one, what does the old lady think?" ”

"Huh?" Jia Yu looked at Madame and frowned, knowing Mrs. Xing's thoughts, the attacker and Qingwen in Baoyu's room were rewarded by the old lady, and the reason for this is not as simple as asking for a girl, but it has the meaning of competing for favor.

"This, it still depends on how Cong'er progresses in ethnology, if it can't become a climate, are you embarrassed to speak? If the old lady doesn't allow it, won't she panic? Jia Yu was not angry, but his mind was the same as that of Mrs. Xing.

Since Jia Cong showed his understanding and talent, Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing have all supported their attitudes, but fundamentally, it depends on how far Jia Cong can go, if he does not achieve fame, the old couple is too lazy to worry.

At this time, the girl Qiutong came to report that "the master of the school is here", and it was the clan uncle Jia Dairu who came to the door in person! Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing glanced at each other, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
