When they came back from the county school, everyone was exhausted, Wang Gui and Tang Huai were even more lying on the bed and moaning in pain, they pulled their bows three hundred times today, and ran fifty miles in the afternoon, their bodies seemed to be scattered, and their arms and feet seemed to be far away from them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they got home, the extreme soreness and exhaustion hit them together, making them miserable, Wang Gui and Tang Huai shouted that they regretted that they shouldn't have gone to learn martial arts with Zhou Dong.

The two little maids were busy, boiling water, twisting hot towels, pinching their legs and knocking their backs, which made Li Yanqing frown, shook his head and turned away.

Li Yanqing and Yue Fei could still hold on, they lifted the stone lock a hundred times before running every day, and they persevered in long-distance running every day, running was very easy for them, just pulling the bow three hundred times, making their arms very sore.

But Yue Fei didn't care about his physical exhaustion at this time, he was worried and found Li Yanqing in the canteen, he found that he had to take riding and archery lessons every day, and one day was a day, so where would they have time to study and prepare for exams?

"Lao Li, why don't we go and talk to Master Zhou, and change it to a riding and archery lesson every two days!"

It happened that Wang Gui came to Li Yanqing, and when he heard Yue Fei's suggestion, he also shouted, "Yes! Let's talk about it, we can't even hold chopsticks, and we ride and shoot every day, doesn't it cost us our lives? ”

Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "You guys are thinking too simply, Master Zhou just said in the morning that if you don't want to go up, you can quit, and now I'm going to make a request, isn't it just quitting?" ”

"So what to do? How we read. ”

Yue Fei was extremely worried, of course he didn't want to quit the riding and archery department, but he wanted to be admitted to the state school, what should he do?

"Yes! I want to read too, so what can I do? Tang Huai pinched his incomparably sore arm and muttered.

Li Yanqing picked up the bookbag and said, "What else, use the evening time to read!" Practicing martial arts during the day and reading at night, this kind of life is actually not bad, you continue to find a way! I'll go to study first. ”

Yue Fei was helpless, so he had to pick up the bookbag and go back to the room, Wang Gui and Tang Huai stared at each other, what should the two of them do?

Li Yanqing returned to the study and opened a big Nanmu box, this big box was full of books, weighing at least more than 100 catties, he opened the lid of the box, and the box was neatly stacked with dozens of scriptures.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination mainly examined the seven classics, among which "Yi", "Poems", "Shangshu", "Zhou Li", and "Book of Rites" were set as the major classics, and the "Analects" and "Mencius" were set as the concurrent classics, and the provincial examination and the interpretation test were the same.

However, since Wang Anshi changed the law, the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu" and "Zhou Li" were reinterpreted and compiled as "Zhou Guan Xinyi", "Mao Shiyi" and "Shang Shuyi", collectively known as the Three Classics Xinyi, and the current imperial examination is mainly about this.

This is not as simple as reading three books, including 20 volumes of "Mao Shiyi", 13 volumes of "Shang Shuyi", and 16 volumes of "Zhou Guan Xinyi", adding up to nearly 50 volumes.

Li Yanqing received the teachings of Yao Ding, a teacher, and studied in Lushan School for five years, reading the new meaning of the Three Classics.

Li Yanqing has been able to memorize nearly 50 volumes of scriptures and interpretations backwards, and he has also recorded more than 20 thick notes, which are the contents of the lectures given to him by Master Yao Ding in the past five years.

Li Yanqing took out the books and notes, piled them up like a hill around him, and he found twelve thick thread-bound books that had been a little yellowed from the bottom of the box, which were the reading notes written by his father Li Daqi back then, and they were all the essence of Li Daqi's understanding of the "Three Classics and New Meanings".

At that time, Li Daqi was the first Xie Yuan in Xiangzhou, and the scriptures at home were piled up, and then they were basically sold out by him, but these twelve reading notes were wrapped in oil paper by his wife Yun Niang and preserved, Yun Niang wanted to leave it to her children, and she was pleased that ten years later, these twelve notes were really used by her son.

Li Yanqing took out five notes of "Zhou Guan Xinyi" from inside, and when he came to the door of Yue Fei's room, he knocked on the door, "Old Yue, it's me!" ”

"Please come in!"

Li Yanqing pushed the door and walked into the room, only to see Yue Fei practicing calligraphy, Li Yanqing smiled and put five notes of "Zhou Guan Xinyi" on his desk.

"This is the essence of the reading that my father wrote back then, lend it to you and copy it, I don't think it's worse than the school class, you read it thoroughly, and the school class can't be attended!"

Yue Fei is going to take the state school exam, and the state school entrance examination mainly tests one major scripture and two concurrent scriptures, "Analects" and "Mencius" They are very familiar with it, there is no need to worry, the difficult thing is "Zhou Guan Xinyi", as long as you read "Zhou Guan Xinyi" thoroughly, there is basically no problem in entering the state school.

Although Yue Fei took classes with Li Yanqing in Lushan Academy, he was far less good at learning than Li Yanqing, he took the notes and read a few pages, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "With these notes, I will be admitted to the state school without worry, thank you for your help, I will finish copying them as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Li Yanqing knew Yue Fei's level very well, and there was no problem at all in being admitted to the state school, otherwise the master would not let him go to Anyang for the exam at the same time as himself.

It's just that Yue Fei was just too cautious and cautious, and he went to the county school but didn't go to the school to listen to the class, Yue Fei felt that he would not be able to get into the state school, so Li Yanqing helped him a little and gave him a little more confidence.

At this moment, there was a rush of running outside, and I saw Wang Gui rushing in front of the door, "Old Gui, I'm here!" Li Yanqing shouted, Wang Gui stopped, ran back and hurriedly said, "Come out quickly, Master Zhou is here!" ”

Li Yanqing and Yue Fei were startled, and hurriedly followed Wang Gui out, only to see Zhou Tong sitting in the guest hall drinking tea, and Tang Huai standing aside with his hands down, looking very uneasy.

The three of them stepped forward and bowed together, "See Master Zhou!" ”

Zhou Tong wore a wide blue cloth shirt, his skin was dark, his eyes were flashing, even if he sat on the chair, he was powerful, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, and he took out four small gourds and put them on the table, "I estimate that your arms and legs are sore today, this is my secret medicine, activate the meridians and relieve fatigue, you take a pill and put it in water to melt before going to bed at night, and then apply it to your arms and legs, you can train normally tomorrow, insist on using it for ten days, and you won't need it in the future." ”

As he spoke, he handed the small gourd to the four of them, and the four of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, bowed down and thanked them: "Thank you Master Zhou for your care!" ”

Of course, Zhou Tong is not as simple as sending medicine, he has taught countless apprentices in his life, but there are few who really satisfy him, he is very old, this time he came to Tangyin County to teach the riding and archery department, but also wanted to accept a few closed disciples, among the twelve people today, in addition to taking a fancy to Li Yanqing, he found that Yue Fei is also a malleable talent, not only calm and steady, but also powerful, but a good material for practicing strong crossbows.

Zhou Tong sighed and asked: "I know that you are all going to school and studying, but practicing riding and archery is also a process of continuous accumulation, you must not fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and you must not stop every day, but I am afraid that this will affect your studies, I will discuss with you and change it to practice once every two days, what do you think?" ”

The eyes of the three of them all looked at Yue Fei, it didn't matter if Li Yanqing went to the academy or not, Wang Gui and Tang Huai didn't care if they went to the academy or not, the key was Yue Fei, it seemed that practicing riding and archery every day had a great impact on his studies.

Yue Fei was a little flustered under Zhou Dong's sharp gaze, he lowered his head and said, "You don't need to practice once every two days, and it won't affect you to practice every day." ”

"But how are you going to study in the academy?"

Zhou Tong smiled again: "Or I'll talk to your family, let you change to Xiangzhou martial arts, and go to Beijing to participate in martial arts in the future, with my connections in the army, I can give you a good recommendation, this is also a very good way out, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Li Yanqing will not go to the martial arts test, but he can only represent himself, not Yue Fei, let alone make decisions for Wang Gui and Tang Huai, he saw that the three companions were hesitant, so he said: "Master Zhou, this matter is very important, please let us think about it for a while, and then give Master Zhou an answer, but one thing is for sure, we can practice riding and archery every day, and we are going to study at night." ”

Zhou Tong heard that they could practice riding and archery every day, so he stopped asking, got up and said: "Of course I have to give you time to think about it, it's not too early, I'll go first, Brother Qing'er, you come to see me off, I still have something to say to you alone." ”

Li Yanqing sent Zhou Tong out of the gate, Zhou Tong stopped, stared at a big tree in the distance and said in a deep voice: "I have been to the Daimyo's Mansion, and I also found Yu Cheng and gave him Song Jiang's letter." ”

"Is Uncle Hu's family okay?" Li Yanqing asked.

"I don't know what to say, but their family of three rented 50 acres of land and farmed for a living."

"How is it a family of three? It should be a family of four! Li Yanqing asked in confusion.

"His Hun family went back to his parents' house four years ago."

Li Yanqing got news of Uncle Hu for the first time in four years, but when he heard such a result, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
