As a soul traveler, Fan Jin actually has a benefit, and this benefit is a system that he can contact but doesn't know where. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, this system can neither draw rewards, nor can it be exchanged for gold and silver treasures, or any kind of technological knowledge. According to its function, it can be called the seven things system, that is, the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea system.

The function of this system is to allow Fan Jin to master the abilities related to the above matters, but if he wants to acquire any abilities, he must practice enough in this field. In other words, this system can also be called the Heavenly Reward System. As long as you keep working hard in a certain area, you will definitely get a reward from the system, compared to most people who work hard all their lives to achieve nothing, and it is useless to put in the effort, the system is powerful.

In Fan Jin's view, this system is actually a person's training as experience points, and if the experience points are accumulated enough, they can be exchanged for ability. For example, in calligraphy, Fan Jin's talent is actually not high. In addition to being diligent, calligraphy must also have talent, in the past and present life, he is not a master of calligraphy, and he lacks talent in this area. Not to mention that the Fan family doesn't have so much money, so they can buy him stationery to practice.

Thanks to the system, he only insisted on taking a branch and writing on the sand or the ground, and the system still recognized this exercise as experience. After two years of hard practice, he has been able to exchange for a first-class calligraphy level, and Ou Liu Yan Zhao can switch fonts at will, both large and small, compared to ordinary people who practice words, I don't know how much time I have saved.

In addition, the quick memory, memorization and proficiency in dialects, and several major functions of standard official dialect attached to the system can also be regarded as a great help to Fan Jin's life. Otherwise, the reality of the people in Guangdong and the language barrier is enough to make it difficult for him to move an inch.

Of course, these things can't be said to Hou Shouyong, so he has to use diligence to be vague. Hou Shouyong listened, but did not express doubts.

"Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and God rewards diligence. People in the world want to take shortcuts, and you are willing to learn with peace of mind and practice hard, which is a good thing. The better you write, the more you prove that your qi will be heavier, you can sink your breath, you can settle your mind, you can do a good article, and you can do good things. What the official said to you before, you must remember for yourself, if you are over thirty, the text really needs to be both hard and soft. At present, the year is not yet crowned, what is needed is to be calm and steady, and not to lose one's skeleton prematurely. ”

"What the old parents saw was that the students wrote it down."

"I recruited you today, and I said that I wanted to test your knowledge, so you can use this as a topic on the spot and write an essay."

While speaking, Hou Shouyong had already taken out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it in front of Fan Jin, Fan Jin looked over, but saw that there was no text on the paper, only a big circle, like 0 in the number.

Hou Shouyong showed a smile on his face, "Fan Jin, the questions of the imperial examination are inseparable from the four books, if you feel that this circle is not in the four books, you can also choose not to do it." ”

Fan Jin said: "The old parents give questions, how can students not do it." What's more, this topic is already within the four books. The chapters of the four books are separated by this circle, and this question is naturally what students should do. Ask the old parents to give the four treasures of the study, and the students dare to try it. ”

The rules for the eight-share imperial examination questions cannot be separated from the four books, and after so many years of examination, it is also extremely difficult to avoid repetition. In order to ensure that the question is not taken in and gets into a fraud lawsuit, the questioner searches his stomach and often comes up with some strange questions. Interception questions, split questions, etc., are endless, but in fact, they are all forced by the limited scope of the exam and the endless requirements for questions.

If students encounter strange questions, most of them will complain about bad fate, and if they encounter such a circle, it is inevitable to greet the eight generations of the ancestors of the questioner. In an informal occasion like this, even if it is a county order, such a strange question will be regarded as deliberately making things difficult for students, and it is not strange that Fan Jin threw his pen in anger and boycotted the exam. On the contrary, without a word of complaint, he sat down directly and picked up the pen to answer the questionnaire, which made Hou Shou suspicious.

This student is either really talented and learned, or he is a stubborn man, ready to scold himself on the ink scroll. Considering that there was a Hai Rui who dared to scold the emperor in Nanhai County, it was not surprising that Fan Jin who scolded the county order again, Hou Yongzhi couldn't sit still, got up and paced behind Fan Jin, and looked at Fan Jin's ink scroll. If the other party really writes something to scold him, he might as well stop it in time, or find another way.

On the snow-white rice paper, the chic and elegant font has just been written to break the question. Hou Shouyong looked down and saw a line of walnut-sized words on it, "The sage is the first to speak, and there is no cube." ”

"Okay, do it here, you can stop." Without waiting for Fan Jin to take on the topic, Hou Shouyong stopped Fan Jin, took the question paper, read it several times, and put the paper in his sleeve casually.

"Fan Jin, there are only you and me here, a word comes out of your mouth and into my ears, don't worry about his responsibility, is it your idea to do the dead body of Da Fan Zhuang?"

Fan Jin was silent for a moment, only nodded, and did not speak.

Hou Shouyong said: "I have heard a little about some grievances between Dafanzhuang and the Hong family. Hong Chengen is arrogant and arbitrary, and I don't like him, but the Hong family is a big family, and he has been the chief armor for many years, and he has no mistakes, so I don't like anything to him. Today's errand outside the yamen to embarrass you must be a trick made by his family's disciples, and even I, the county respecter, don't take him seriously, and he deserves to be taught a lesson. Most of the children in Fan Lin's womb are inseparable from him, although the methods you use are not above board, but they are also for a reason, the official is not to blame, and he will not send a messenger to the countryside to disturb your livelihood, you just have to rest assured. ”

"The students are taking the place of the elders of Hecun, thank you to the old parents."

"The people regard the county as their parents, and the county has to assume the responsibility of parents, love their children, and sympathize with the difficulties of their children, which is the responsibility of parents, so why say thank you. Now that the matter of Dafanzhuang has been concluded, there is no need to worry about the troubles, and in the future, Hong Chengen's side, you should be more careful. I'm going to talk about your knowledge. ”

Hou Shouyong pointed to the circle he had drawn, "My generation of scholars, the edge should not be too exposed, the edges and corners are clear, it is easy to hurt others and hurt themselves, it is between us acting for others, taking the circle as the top, everything has to be forgiving and forgiving, every time there is a dispute, you can endure it and do not have to be like a foolish woman in the village in the market, it is the first step to be a scholar to be round." ”

He paused, then added, "But we can't just be round. Zi said, the road is not good, and the sea is floating. When the saints are unable to pursue their own ways, they choose to leave rather than go along with them. It can be seen that although the sages will not blindly emphasize rigidity and ignore softness, they will not change their minds and give up their ethics because of external objects. We can be round externally, but we must be square ourselves. Dealing with people can be tolerated, and when it comes to principles, every inch of land must be contested, which is what a scholar should do. If you break the name of the sage and stand before the sage, you have no cube, and you see the sage as too weak. Look at this official test for you. ”

Hou Shou lifted the pen and wrote on another piece of rice paper, "Before the sage speaks, he will get the heavenly phenomena." ”

Fan Jin waited until Hou Shou finished writing this sentence, and suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "The disciple bowed and thanked the teacher for his teachings, and when he heard the teacher's words, he must be three provinces a day, and keep in mind the teacher's teachings!" ”
