Zhou Zhi smiled modestly, "The little brother came in a hurry today, but he didn't bring an article. Hehe! But since the elder brothers asked, the younger brother has an article in his head, so he might as well write it out now for everyone to see. ”

Everyone knows that Zhou Zhi has the ability to recite by eye, and when Zhou Zhi said this, everyone was not surprised, so he hurriedly urged, "Then please ask Brother Zhou Zhixian to write it quickly!" ”

There is a ready-made pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Lu Xingchuan's study, and Lao Fan Jin personally grinds it, so Zhou Zhi picked up a small calligraphy brush and wrote an article entitled "Dare to Ask Confucianism".

As soon as Zhou Zhi put down the pen, everyone exclaimed, "Good words!" Brother Zhou Zhixian's words have made great progress, as if he has the style of everyone. ”

"Yes, even the entire Lotus Pond Academy has never seen such a good word from Brother Zhou Zhixian. Admire! It's really impressive!" Especially Yue Shuzhen, who said so.

Yue Shuzhen said this at this time, which naturally contained the ingredients of elevating Zhou Zhi and patting Zhou Zhi's fart. Especially when Zhou Zhi had the courage to arrest Yang Tong in Qingdu County, Yue Shuzhen admired Zhou Zhi even more. He went from being unconvinced to admiring the five-body throw. In Yue Shuzhen's own words, even if he lives for another twenty years, he won't be able to catch up with his studies. There is no thoughtful courage and courage.

However, Zhou Zhi's small block characters have indeed made great progress, and in the capital Guozijian, he received the careful advice of Si Ye Zhuge and the great Confucian Chen Xianzhang. Zhou Zhi's current words and the authentic handwriting of Zhao Mengguansheng and his wife are like a spell. In today's world, there are indeed not too many handsome people like Zhou Zhi's writing. And a person like Zhou Zhi, who is only seventeen years old, must not be able to think about it.

Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently and ignored it, and with just a stick of incense, an article of more than 600 words clearly appeared on the paper.

When Zhou Zhi was writing, everyone stood behind or next to Zhou Zhi, carefully considering the words and watching carefully. When Zhou Zhi finished writing, everyone read through it again, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

Wonderful! What a wonderful thing! An eight-share article can be written like this, this week Zhi seems to be a refined study of eight shares, and it is said that next year's township test Zhou Zhi can be lifted, that is, the next year's examination, the palace examination, and Zhou Zhi's examination should be easy.

This kind of article is not inferior at all compared with those champions, lists, and tanhua in previous years. In this way, with the current level of Zhou Zhi's article, Zhou Zhi will try to break into the top three!

The capital Guozijian is really extraordinary, it is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, and the level of professors and gentlemen is much higher than that of the local academies. Zhou Zhi went to Guozijian, and it was definitely like a fish in water.

At this time, the more people read this article of "Dare to Ask Confucianism", the more surprised they felt. Fan Jin first broke the silence and sighed, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, I haven't seen you for a few months, and several of us have made progress, but in the final analysis, it is you Zhou Zhixian who has made the most progress, and I have no way to compare with you."

Everyone has read Yue Shuzhen's article just now, although it is not bad, but compared with Zhou Zhixian's article, it is a small thing.

Now the level of Zhou Zhixian's articles has thrown me and others a few streets, which really makes me envious! ”

yes, they're definitely envious. Zhou Zhi was gifted and intelligent, and he was admitted to the small three yuan of Baoding Mansion, and he had good luck, and was appreciated by the great master Yang Yiqing, and recommended him to enter the capital Guozijian. But who else can have such a smart head and good luck?

People are incomparable.

Although everyone said that they studied with Zhou Zhi, even ten or twenty years earlier than Zhou Zhi, the result was different.

Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Brother Fan is serious, this article was not made by me. I took it out today to let everyone know the level of others.

This was done by a person who shouted all day long that he was the champion of the year after tomorrow. That person's name is Liu Kaixian. He is the heir of the Liu family, a wealthy man in the capital. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently again and continued, "All brothers know that the younger brother's scripture is "Spring and Autumn", but the title of this article is from "The Book of Rites". The Book of Rites is the scripture of this prisoner named Liu Kaixian.

Speaking of the little brother's article, it is naturally better than before, but compared to this madman, it is still far from each other! ”

Zhou Zhi said that it was naturally modest to look at each other for a long time, but there is indeed a gap between his article and Liu Kaixian. If Zhou Zhi wants to be in the top few in the imperial examination in the next year, this Liu Kaixian is definitely one of the competitors.

In a word, Zhou Zhi must also make hard work. The rest of the time is the same for everyone, and that's mainly about efficiency.

Everyone is commenting and studying again, and they sigh to themselves.

But these people are high-spirited and ambitious people. Since they have made up their minds to go all the way to the imperial examination, naturally no one will be discouraged and decadent.

It is precisely because they see the gap that they will seize the time more and work harder.

After that, everyone talked about studying in the academy together, and everyone was naturally most interested in Zhou Zhi's study in the capital Guozijian. They asked one after another, and Zhou Zhi explained various situations to them in detail, and even told them how he moved the huge statue of Confucius, and how the two iron balls landed at the same time.

Everyone is a person who reads the Four Books and the Five Classics and prepares for the imperial examination, and they don't care much about Zhou Zhi's "sideways". And they are very interested in the situation of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, Zhou Zhi's understanding of Zhu Houzhao actually mainly depends on the history books of later generations, and they can't comment on it at this time. talked about how he and Zhu Houzhao met and some things they dating.

The winter days are short, and before you know it, the sky is darkening. Lu Xingchuan's family had already prepared a sumptuous meal of wine, and everyone had to drink happily together, talk loudly, and be in high spirits.

Feeling that everyone was eating and drinking, Zhou Zhi suddenly said, "The last time we got together, we said okay, each of us should continue to write some essays for guidance, taking advantage of the free time of the year, everyone still needs to sort out together, and strive to print a few volumes after the year." ”

The ones that everyone summed up in the past are actually sold in Gaochang Town, Qingdu County or other counties. So far, sales have been good. The accounts and operations are mainly the responsibility of Qiu Haolan. Although everyone doesn't earn much silver, that is, dozens of taels. But everyone still tasted the sweetness and agreed.

In fact, everyone knows very well that writing such things as experience and guidance is ostensibly helping others. In fact, it is also very beneficial to the writing of his own articles, and he can also make money.

After this matter was discussed, Zhou Zhi suddenly changed his words and said, "If printing books is a matter of making money, the younger brother still has a matter of losing money to discuss with your brothers today." ”
