When Sun Jia heard Sun Dan ask about this, her eyelids, which were still lowered before, raised her eyelids, glanced at Sun Dan quickly, and then lowered it again. explained that it turned out that this Mr. Li was still very level. At the age of twenty, he was promoted to the Jinshi, and at the age of twenty-eight, he was promoted to the Jinshi. But when I took the exam, my ranking was not high, and I had some problems with dealing with people, so I mixed in the officialdom all my life, and I only learned the Tao of one house.

Although Mr. Li does not know how to be an official, he has a whole set of experience in dealing with exams, and he is especially good at playing questions, and he is accurate by a dozen. The few students he taught basically passed the test that year.

The Sun family is very powerful in Sun Zhunian and Sun Henian's generation, the three brothers are all promoted at the same time, and the second and third are all admitted to the Jinshi at the same time.

But the next generation is very unlucky, except for Sun Yue, a young genius, the other children are straw bales and rice buckets. For ten years, the Sun family has not said that they are descendants of the descendants, and they have never even produced a talent in the side lineage, let alone a person and a jinshi.

Originally, Sun Yue still had hope of winning the three yuan. It's a pity that this child is a sick child, 365 days a year, and he actually lies in bed for 200 days, and he missed the exam due to illness during the last exam.

There has not been a single talent in the whole decade, and the famous Huichang Marquis Sun family has lost face. Master Sun and Second Master Sun in the capital felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and if they hired famous teachers to teach in Shandong step by step, with the qualifications of the children of the Sun family, there would be no way to reverse the situation in the short term.

So, the two masters remembered Li Meiting, a strange master, and prepared a generous gift to invite Mr. Li to Shandong. I hope that through Mr. Li's specialty in guessing questions, the Sun family will show a few talents this year.

Mr. Li was bored in Shaanxi, and he didn't have much oil and water to learn Taoism, so after thinking about it, he came to Zouping.

Mr. Li came to Sun's house to deal with the exam in the next few years of this year, and he only had a few top students such as Sun Yue in his eyes, and as for the other schoolchildren who did not have any hope of passing the children's exam, he did not care about it. For example, Sun Dan, who is not a descendant of the Sun family and a schoolboy who is not a descendant of the Sun family, is naturally giving up.

Mr. Li Meiting came to Sun's house to produce results and improve the admission rate, but he didn't have any intention of cultivating people for ten years.

After saying this, Sun Jia said in a low voice: "Sun Dan, I'm afraid that Mr. Li doesn't know about your entry into the clan at all, and he doesn't want to know." Therefore, in the first year of junior high school, I am afraid that you should be careful. ”

Sun Dan smiled bitterly and said secretly: The Sun family invited Mr. Li to teach ethnic studies to deal with the exam, a bit like the fast and slow classes that the school did before the college entrance examination. Examination-oriented education really has a long history, and even the ancients were not exempt from vulgarity.

However, if Mr. Li really has the specialty of guessing the exam questions, he might as well get in touch with him in the future, if he can get into his eyes and get a few questions from him, he will be a little more sure of the future children's test.

Back at the residence, the gate pier had finished the day's work, in fact, it was freezing now, and there was not much work to do. The old man sat on the chair at the door and looked at the clouds in the sky in a daze, looking at him as a man with a story.

Seeing Sun Dan go home, the door pier didn't speak, stood up and took the book in his hand, "Come back, you are busy first, and I will call you when the meal is served." ”

Sun Dan hurriedly thanked him, and then went into his hut and began to study on his own. Time waits for no one, there is no day before the exam, and the most important thing in front of you is to sweep the traditional Chinese literacy first.

After entering the house and cleaning up, putting the books in place, and grinding the ink unhurriedly, Sun Dan thought about it, and cut out hundreds of small pieces of paper with a knife.

After the door pier helped Sun Dan clean up the room, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Sun Dan with a dull gaze.

Sun Dan didn't think about anything else, the old man was good, it is estimated that he was also used to being lonely, and there was suddenly one more person in the yard, which made him a little unaccustomed.

It is difficult for Sun Dan to learn this kind of thing, the key is to find a good way. From elementary school to university, and then to the civil service examination, he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and he has never encountered any kind of slope. The most painful time in my memory was passing the sixth level of college English, and in those months, the future passed the test, and almost put Sun Dan in the hospital tired.

Since passing the English level 6, Sun Dan has not felt any difficulty in other exams.

Speaking of which, there are many similarities between learning traditional Chinese characters and learning English, the same requires rote memorization, and the same needs to enter the language environment.

Let's take another English placement test, it's not a big deal, okay, just use that learning method.

While thinking about it, he sharpened the ink, and when the ink was polished, Sun Dan had already made up his mind.

He placed a small piece of paper on the table, picked up his pen and wrote on it a large traditional character "蓋", which is the simplified character "cover". Although the cover character is not commonly used in daily life, it is the first word of the title in the eight-strand text. In other words, as long as you write an article, you can't get around this word.

Sun Dan used to write a big character every day in modern times, and after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he didn't write for several days, and his hands itched tightly. In the afternoon, when he was in the school, he didn't dare to let go of writing. Now this one cover is written down, in one go, it is really happy, and it is so cool that it can't be added.

Looking closely, it was Liu Ruyi's hand that seemed elegant, but implied iron bones.

"With a silver hook on his wrist, he once collected the wonderful traces." Slowly exhaled the turbid breath in his chest, and the depression of the past few days seemed to have been crushed by the word "cover", and then disappeared, only to feel that his body was also lighter.

"Good word!" There was a sudden cheer from the side.

Sun Dan turned his head to look, but saw that the door pier looked a little excited.

Sun smiled lightly: "Laomen, you are also literate?" ”

"I'm blind, and I can't read a word." The door pier smiled.

"And what are you cheering for?" Sun Dan looked at the door pier with a smile: "I just learned this word in the school today, can you see the benefits?" ”

Mendun sniffed: "I have been with the third master for so many years before, and I have also seen the third master write." Although I don't know it, I can see how good the words are, you are the word......" He groaned slightly: "Although I don't know what to read, I think it's alive." ”

Sun Dan was greatly impressed and gave a thumbs up.

Mendun smiled: "Brother Sun, you write it, I'll read it from the side." I haven't seen anyone write for many years, and when I see you with a pen, my heart is happy, as if the third master is still in this world. Doesn't bother you, does it? ”

Sun Dan nodded: "Laomen, you can look at it casually." ”

He didn't dare to delay, and while looking through the dictionary, he copied down all the commonly used Chinese characters and made a stack of cards.

This is also the method he used when he first learned English, when he copied all the words he learned into cards and carried them with him. Whether it's walking, eating, or sleeping, as long as you think about it, you can touch it out and take a look. After several months, thousands of words were finally digested alive.

Those days are really unbearable, and now that I think about it, I am still extremely afraid.

The writing speed of the brush is too slow, and I have written more than 300 words, and my hands are a little sore. Sun Dan moved his wrist and looked up at the sky, where the sunset had dyed the sky red. At this time, he and Mendun remembered that it was time to eat, so they each carried a small wooden basin to the room to eat.

The food of the Hou Sun family of Huichang is a regular rule, and according to the different identities of each person in the house, the pattern and amount of food are also different. Sun Dan and Mendun's food standards are naturally the lowest level, only a pot of brown rice, a bone broth stewed radish, and a stir-fried radish tassels, except for white, it is green. It's really one green and two white, innocent. It's not enough, it's enough, it's a pound.

When he first entered the house, Sun Dan thought he was going to cook by himself, but after asking the door pier, he realized that this was not the case at all. What kind of place is the Sun Mansion, the hundred-year-old mansion is all wooden buildings, how can it be possible to allow the subordinates to start a fire by themselves. Otherwise, as soon as the meal arrives, more than 100 people in the whole house will make their own fires and cook, and it doesn't matter if there is a cooking smoke, it will be bad if the water is gone.

That's fine, anyway, Sun Dan is used to eating in the canteen, and he can't cook. Now he eats in the big stove every day, so much so that he has found a little bit of the feeling he had when he was in college.

To learn this kind of thing, the atmosphere is still very important.

Today is also Sun Dan's luck, Sun Yue in the second room can only eat liquid food because he is sick in bed, and he boiled millet porridge in the room, which is very sticky. After Sun Dan finished eating his share, he asked the aunt who was cooking for a little, and then returned to the room and pasted the words he copied earlier on the wall, door frame, table, and bedside one by one.

As far as the eye can see, it must be occupied with traditional characters. Leave no dead ends, fatigue bombing.

Taking a deep breath, I sat cross-legged on the bed, casting my eyes on the small black characters, and gradually immersed myself in the unique beauty of Chinese characters.

In a trance, he seemed to see someone using a knife to carve a mysterious pattern on the turtle shell, "mountains, rivers, sun and moon, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, ......": he saw someone scraping bamboo slips with a bamboo knife quickly, and a drop of bright red blood fell on it, "The mountains look up, and the scenery stops!" ”； Seeing the long camel caravan carrying the scriptures walking on the vast desert, and in the distance is the towering cliffs of the Mogao Grottoes, "If I smell it, if I smell it......

Raising his hands, he saw that his hands were trembling slightly.

The shiny black words in front of me swirled rapidly above and around the body, turning into a vast galaxy.

A little oil lamp suddenly turned on, and the old figure of the door pier was projected on the wall: "Brother Sun, it's dark." You've been sitting here for two hours, and I've got you some oil. Ay! He sighed faintly: "Don't work too hard, when the third master was studying, he was just like you, but his body collapsed." I tried to persuade him a few times, but he always said, 'I have an end to my life, but there is no end to my knowledge.'" I don't know what he's talking about, but I also know that he can't read like this, and people can't stand it. When I see you, I think of the third master......"

There were tears glistening in the eyes of the door pier.

"Thank you, I don't have much time." Sun Dan smiled bitterly.

This night, he slept very soundly, and in his dream, the galaxy of words was still spinning, coming and rushing away.

His nose was full of the ink fragrance brought by the high-crowned robes of the ancients, and the fragrance seemed to melt into Sun Dan's blood, making him boil and make him burn.
