Chapter 441: Expansion (I)

Chapter 441

On the official road at noon in June, the hot sun unreservedly swayed its heat, fully interpreting the error of the theory of "near big and far small".

Of course, as a Confucian scholar, he has a cautious and critical attitude towards the article "Confucius and the Two Children Debate the Sun", after all, Confucius is a sage, and a sage should know everything and everything, and the article in "Liezi Tang Wen" must be a hostile force smearing the Confucian sage, just as "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" is understood as belittling Buddhism.

It's scientific and reasonable.

"Childe, this noon day is scorching, why don't you go and rest? The villain knows that there is a tea shop in front of him, although there is no good tea, but it can also escape the heat. The handlebar of the car opened the curtain and asked very carefully.

There is a lot of humidity in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the air is filled with moisture, just like a steamer, which is completely different from the weather in Beijing.

Shang Chen looked at the family members accompanying him, wiped his sweat, nodded and said, "Okay, if you are not in a hurry to enter Beijing, let's go to the front to rest." ”

The handlebar type "eh", turned his head with a happy face, and the horsewhip was waving more and more diligently.

Shang Zhen raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky outside the car window, and looked down at the scenery on the side of the road, and couldn't help sighing, Originally, the members and Xie Yuan have all got it, and his road to the imperial examination can be said to be brave.

However, just because of a high-spirited strategy during the palace examination, a heroic essay on governing the country, and a tirade that made him feel good, he didn't say the champion, the top three didn't enter, and he directly fell to Sun Shan, so he was full of depression, and he could only choose to go home "quietly".

His knowledge, or the ability to make papers, is good and has nothing to say, so even if he didn't even go up to the top three, no one dared to underestimate him, but instead felt jealous that he didn't get the top three - the Ming Imperial Examination, if you win the top three, you will not be allowed to take the exam again, and you can only stare at the fame of a "given to the same Jinshi background" for the rest of your life, struggling at the bottom end of the chain of contempt for the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when he worshiped the teachings and sacrificial wine of the national eunuch, and planned to go home to "quietly", no one said anything to stop him, and no one stopped him, but the sacrificial wine of the national eunuch also exhorted him with a pleasant face: "If you lose for a while, don't be worried, it is difficult for you to improve your studies in the eunuch of this country, so why don't you go out for a walk, understand some customs and people, and open your eyes." As the old saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and it is always good to walk more. The old man has a seal here, and I may be able to help you with a thing or two. ”

This sounds gloomy, but who is Shang Shi? As the folk saying goes, "Hair is better than a monkey", as far as his IQ and EQ are concerned, if you put it in this sentence, it is directly "no hair is better than a monkey", as soon as you hear this, you know that there is a problem with the writing of your strategy at the time of the palace test, and it is useless to feel good about yourself, and it is useless to shoot the emperor's heart.

So he accepted the seal with gratitude, first went home and stayed for a month, and then thought about walking back to Beijing slowly, taking a look at the customs and people, and then cooperating with all kinds of gossip in the court, so that he could create good results in the palace examination three years later.

Anyway...... Not bad money.

Shang Zhen thought about it, the handlebar type had already parked the car, and helped lift the curtain: "Childe, the tea shop has arrived." ”

"Okay." Shang Zhen came back to his senses, nodded, jumped off the carriage, stretched his waist, moved his body, and then walked to the tea shop.

The family took the luggage, followed behind, and went straight to the tea shop.

At this time, it was a hot day, the business in the tea shop was quite good, the three of them found a corner to sit down under the greeting of Xiao Er, just ordered tea, asked for some fruit, and heard a rather rough voice from the table next to them: "Hey, brother, I heard that there is an accident in Huangyan County again." ”

As soon as the three words "Huangyan County" came out, Shang Yuan's brows jumped, and when he followed the prestige, he saw a man wearing a coarse cloth robe and dressed as a businessman sitting there, holding a large bowl of high crush, and his face was full of "ask me" expression.

"Something happened in Huangyan County? What else could happen? A businessman with his back to Shang asked very cooperatively, his voice was full of surprise, "The county order over there is said to be Wenqu Xing's descending mortal, which can suppress demons and evil spirits, didn't you kill a lot of evil ghosts last time, what happened this time?" ”

The merchant laughed, poured half a bowl of high crushed first, wiped his mouth, and then smiled: "People want to open a school over there, but all the children of Huangyan County, children under the age of ten, and scholars who plan to take the test for fame, can go to the school to listen to classes, and they don't have to pay for it....... There is no class to teach. ”

"Shhh...... What a big deal. ”

The people at the table are all amazed voices, in the eyes of the merchants, this is simply incredible, without him, the cost of reading this year is still too high, not to mention the restraints, that is, the four treasures of the study can take the lives of most families, not to mention a good pen, a good ink, a good inkstone, it is paper, can torture people to death.

It is not the same as a good A4 paper after more than 500 years, which is only a few cents, and the output of white paper in this year is outrageous.

Of course, the most important thing is to practice calligraphy, practice the Taige body that can be held with one hand, you can take the lives of most scholars, and time and money are in the fly-headed small letters, slowly disappearing.

"I also told you, the day before yesterday on Weiyu Mountain over there, wasn't there a Hanlin who was enlightened by Wenqu Xingjun, abandoned his worldly wealth, and became a monk? People agreed to Yang Xianzun and wanted to go to the school to help teach the children, think about it, what kind of knowledge do people have? Academician! ”

When the big man said this, he stood up directly, stepped on the bench with one foot, and said loudly: "Hanlin! ”
