Chapter 1016 Another Floating Day (Medium)

Su Dongpo was silent for a moment, and replied gloomily: "Wu Zimai will also participate in this year's solution test." ”

Su Mai did participate in this year's examination for the liberation, and after passing the examination, he did not continue to participate in the provincial examination, but went to a neighboring county to become a county lieutenant, and since then he has been in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty as a clerk.

Speaking of Su Mai to become a county lieutenant, it is also related to a great work, Su Dongpo personally sent Su Mai to the post, and took a detour to Shizhong Mountain, and explored the reason why Shi Zhongshan knocked on the stone with his son, and later wrote the famous "Shizhong Mountain".

Su Dongpo's investigation is to experience and examine theory in a practical way. This is actually a scientific experiment, and it is the only scientific expedition report in Chinese history. However, the scholars did not pay attention to the scientific reasoning he used, so there was no systematic scientific system in China.

Participating in the solution test together, I don't know if it can be counted as "the same year", Zhao Xingsheng was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, he just silently arched his hand to Su Mai, and when he saw that honest man did not speak, he turned his head and asked Su Dongpo: "Brother Mai should take the exam, I should avoid your edge." ”

Su Dongpo laughed.

This sentence is actually said by Su Shi. When Su Shi went to Beijing to take the exam, Ouyang Xiu was immediately shocked when he saw his poems, and said, "This son will definitely be extraordinary in the future, and I should avoid the road for him." Now Zhao Xing uses this sentence to talk about his son, which makes Su Dongpo very happy.

In fact, Su Mai's departure at this time was also a kind of helplessness. Su Dongpo was embarrassed because of his life, so he followed the usual practice of rural people to let adult children go out and set up their own doors. And Su Mai left, because of the compulsion of life, he never returned to his father, "The Story of Shizhong Mountain" is his last memory of his father.

Because of this, Su Dongpo smiled a little bitterly.

This is a tragic character, although Zhao Xing doesn't understand the situation, he can roughly guess the other party's predicament from Su Dongpo's bitter smile, he is a little gloomy, and he doesn't know what to say.

However, Su Dongpo was cheerful, and he turned the topic around after a while, chatting with Zhao Xing about landscapes and poetry...... Also talking about ghosts.

"What? You don't know poetry? Su Dongpo felt incredulous.

In this era, there is no pinyin, there is no dictionary, people rely on the teacher's word of mouth to pass on the literacy, the more words you know, the more books the other party reads. Zhao Xing read Su Dongpo's poems just now, and he didn't stumble when he read them, Su Dongpo didn't believe that such a person didn't understand poetry.

It was Mrs. Wang who came in to relieve the siege, and she smiled and pulled her husband's sleeve: "Official, what you learn from others is the study of the heavens and the earth, how can you focus on finding chapters and extracting sentences." ”

Madame Wang is Madame Wang, and there is no screen in the room now, but this Madame Wang has also learned from her sister's style, and she has hid to listen to the conversation in order to help her husband judge the guests.

Su Dongpo has always listened to his wife, especially in terms of knowing people, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the other party's bizarre and jumping thinking when he saw the snowflakes in the house, so he nodded in agreement.

Although he understood, his habit of being a good teacher did not change, and he immediately took out a few books of poetry and rhythms from under the bed to explain to Zhao Xing. And then......

As soon as Zhao Xing heard the poem, he immediately felt that his scalp was fried, and he dozed off. But his attitude is respectful, his eyes are floating, and his mind is not in poetry......

Su Shiken told him poetry, what does this mean. This is a great opportunity.

Although Su Dongpo is an unlucky guy in the officialdom, the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" he taught are all famous, and it is a great honor to accept Su Dongpo's teaching, even if he is not a Five Bachelors of Sumen, it is a great honor to be regarded as a dog of Sumen.

Mrs. Wang entered the house at this time and invited them to lunch. Thanks to Zhao Xing's gift, this lunch is rich enough to entertain guests. Seeing that Su Dongpo had not extinguished his desire to be a teacher for a long time, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Su Shi's interest: "Official, there is wine and food today, and it is rare to leave people, why don't you say it later......

……

In the next few days, Zhao Xing was busy taking the solution test and had no time to go to the door to seek a teacher, so he happened to avoid Su Shi's teaching.

Huangzhou was an extremely closed place at that time, and Su Dongpo wrote tremblingly in a letter to a friend: "Huangzhou is really at the bottom of the well, and I don't hear the news of the country!" Zhao Xing didn't expect that in a remote place like Huangzhou, there would be more than 500 fresh candidates. By extension, what a terrible number the Song Dynasty exams were.

Now archaeology believes that in the ordinary years of the Song Dynasty, the number of students who took the exam every year was 400,000.

Four hundred thousand, now people can't imagine how terrifying this number is, which shows that there are 400,000 fresh graduates who have reached the high school level, and at the same time, those who are literate and do not take the exams, its number ...... Even a rough estimate is appalling – it's equivalent to the total population of a medium-sized European country.

The Song Dynasty was an era of information explosion in the Middle Ages, thanks to the advanced technology of printing, and at that time, national education had entered the stage of universal education......

Huangzhou is remote, and the ratio of tributes is eighty to one. This also means that Cheng Jiaao's three people were lifted, accounting for almost half of the places in this year's tribute examination, and as soon as the results of the examination came out, the entire Huangzhou was a sensation.

But these extra-physical glory, Zhao Xing didn't care anymore, after the tribute test, he anxiously led the students to visit Su Dongpo. Be respectful every day, but never accept instruction.

Under his enthusiasm, Su Dongpo finally allowed him to perform the discipleship ceremony and call himself "teacher". However, what made Su Dongpo resentful was that although the stupid man in front of him, although he had a good learning attitude, his progress in learning poetry and rhythm was almost zero - in this regard, he was even inferior to his student Cheng Shuang Cheng Xia.

You must know that the period during Su Dongpo's debasement of Huangzhou, especially after the third year of his debasement of Huangzhou, was the lowest period of his life. Although he had ups and downs in the past, his poetry name was still there, and he still had countless followers, and after the Huangzhou poetry case, he was convicted of poetry, and the government deprived him of the right to write poetry.

When he first came to Huangzhou, there were still people who were willing to send students to listen to his teachings, but four years later, his students were all implicated, and no one dared to ask him for advice.

ps: Because you have to quickly roll out the background and expand the plot, there are some places that have not been expanded, please understand. As for Su Shi, he can't be demanded by the standard of modern men's monogamy, so his way of treating women at that time was not too much. There were many ways for women in the Song Dynasty to work part-time, please take a look at it to know. Vote, thanks!
