Shen Yun didn't know when he fell asleep.

Only a rooster crow was heard in the village, and then countless roosters and dogs barked.

When I looked out the window, I found that the sky was dark and my eyes were sleepy. Estimating the time, it looks like it's almost three quarters.

Shen Yun didn't have the habit of getting up so early, but he heard that Shen Shan and his wife had already gotten up and were ready to go out.

One was going to drive the sheep out of the backyard and join a herd, so that the shepherd drove to the mountains to grow autumn fat. The other was Zhang Luo to make some breakfast for the family - in Shen Yun's memory, this was a rare thing.

It should be known that in the past, when there was no busy farming, most of the people at home would only make a fire to cook at the beginning of the day.

Shen Yun thought about it, but he still didn't think of Shen's mother's intention to get up so early, so she could only get up with her clothes, light an oil lamp, study thick ink, take a book that had been eaten by insects with a few small holes, and slowly transcribe it.

This is a rather rare volume of "Three Teachings and Zhuying", which is a collection of works written by the poets of the early Tang court when they gathered. It is a well-known work during the period of Emperor Zetian, and it is said that on the day of the completion of the book, Zhang Changzong, who presided over the editing, was given the title of Duke of Ye.

I don't want to be collected by a wealthy family in Qinzhou.

All poems should be the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. In the past, it was too fat and drunk, and in the back, the low tide swelled in the sea, and after the Song Dynasty, there were only a few famous poems.

Even if there are only a few court poets in the post-martial arts period who are passed down to the world, they still linger when they read it now.

When doing something, interest is often the best catalyst. Shen Yun likes Chinese culture the most, and this "Three Teachings and Pearl Heroes" is a poem that he has never seen before, and it is the time when he is interested.

I don't want to read it word by word, and I can't erase it when my heart flows.

The silver bottle is a little girl, and Shen Shan and his wife didn't deliberately wake her up when they got up. As soon as he got dressed, he heard his grandmother shouting for breakfast.

The little girl is naturally happy.

It's just that I had to call my uncle before eating, so I walked in directly. I didn't want to see Shen Yun as soon as I came in, I ignored my shouts at all, just muttering something in my mouth, but I kept writing under my hand.

That's a really nice word.

Yesterday, I saw the old butler's praise, and the silver bottle felt as if I had eaten honey.

But no matter how good the words are, they can't compare to an uncle with a normal brain.

The little girl was in a hurry, and shouted to Shen's mother in the main hall: "Grandma, come and see, Uncle is stunned again." I called him several times, but he ignored me and just wrote on his own. ”

That's not a good word.

Shen Mu, who had always been safe, also panicked, and walked straight to Shen Yun's house, seeing that Shen Yun's gaze under the oil lamp was only back and forth on the old books and the paper under the pen, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

Her family can have this son, if there are three longs and two shorts, then how can this family live?

hurriedly walked in front of Shen Yun, only held Shen Yun's arm with both hands, and pushed a few times: "Son, wake up quickly." Ancestors of the Shen family, let this child wake up quickly. ”

A cry instantly woke up the fascinated Shen Yun.

Looking at the black paper, Shen Yun could only sigh softly.

Mother Shen was overjoyed when she saw that Shen Yun no longer had the strange behavior she had before: "Child, you have finally woken up." ”

Listening to the old man's chatter, Shen Yun could only explain with a sad face: "A-Niang, that's not a demon at all. It's just that I'm obsessed with reading, and I don't pay attention to what you say. ”

"Huh?"

Mother Shen and Yinhua'er looked at each other.

After a long time, he was a little embarrassed to point to the smeared paper and asked, "Then, did my mother disturb your copying of books?" ”

The guilt on his face, still in that slightly hesitant tone, Shen Yun heard it in his ears, and he was helpless for a while: "Fortunately, the paper given is enough, otherwise these ten books will be copied down, and I will probably have to go into the city to buy paper." ”

Since his interest had been interrupted, and he heard the silver bottle muttering about breakfast, Shen Yun didn't continue, washed the pen in the coarse porcelain bowl, and put it on the pen holder, and then walked to the main hall with Shen's mother.

Shen Shan had already come back at this time, and he was not surprised to see that Shen's mother had cooked so early, but he just sat on the top and slowly opened his mouth to drink the bowl of rice soup mixed with wild vegetables.

The reason why it is called soup instead of porridge is probably because Shen Yun ate a bowl and only saw one or two layers of rice grains at the bottom of the bowl. There are many wild vegetables, all of which are dried and re-soaked, and the flavor is there, but most of them are bitter.

Seeing that Yinhua'er drank two bowls with great satisfaction, touching his shriveled stomach, Shen Yun no longer had the heart of disgust.

Who knows if the next meal will be at noon, and if you don't have enough to eat at this time, if you still have work to do after a while, won't you starve yourself in vain?

What's more, for such a clear soup and little water, Shen's mother also boiled a big pot, looking at the amount, it must be three bowls per person. Even if Shen Yun is not active, Shen's mother will fill a few bowls for him regardless of his opposition.

People say that the rice is not enough, and the soup is made up.

These three bowls of rice soup really made Shen Yun eat.

Mother Shen, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, touched the head of the silver bottle with a smile, as if she was touching a kitten: "Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, the silver bottle will go home to help later." These days, I just eat a little more, and I can go back to suffer my sin. ”

The little girl was still enjoying it, but when she heard Shen's mother's words, her face collapsed instantly.

The sharp turn in expression made Shen Yun laugh, but he got a roll of the little girl's eyes.

Shen Shan was still idle, even if he knew that Shen Yun had made money in the city last night, he still ignored the family's obstruction, carried a firewood knife and rattan, and walked to the mountain. It seems that as long as he doesn't do something, he doesn't know what to do.

Shen Yun had the task of copying books, so he could only turn around and return to the room after watching Shen Shan's figure disappear into the farmhouse in the distance.

No one bothered him anymore, and Shen Yun felt more and more that he could quickly enter that state.

Unconsciously, half a day passed, and when Shen Yun was about to turn the pages of "Three Teachings and Pearl Heroes" again, he found that he had turned the empty space.

It only took half a day to transcribe a finger-thick book. Stacked the thick pile of papers full of words on the table one by one in order, and Shen Yun didn't refer to the original book once in this process.

took the written and thin lines, and very skillfully finished binding a whole book, and slowly looked at his work, Shen Yun was indescribably proud in his heart.

Stacking the two books neatly, one new and one old, Shen Yun pulled out a book again, which aroused his interest more and more.

"Renzong's Historical Jinshi Scientific Examination".

Shen Yun didn't expect that he would be assigned to such a book.

It's very thick, this is his first feeling, a whole inch thick book, in Shen Yun's memory, it is rare to see in ancient books. In particular, the interior is still printed on light bamboo paper, and this kind of book is absolutely difficult to get started without a certain relationship and financial resources.

What makes Shen Yun even happier is that he can get a preliminary understanding of the character aspirations of those authors through this book.

It must be known that these people at present, to say the least, are all high-ranking officials above the fifth grade, and they will enter the government in the future, and they will have to deal with these people.

It can also be used to understand the system, content, and writing style of the imperial examination in the current dynasty. For those who are preparing for scientific examinations, it is simply a divine book.

Shen Yun couldn't help but think of the incomprehensible smile on the old housekeeper when he handed over the book to him, could it be that he was really optimistic about himself, even better than Lu Fang?

In the end, he still didn't figure it out, and Shen Yun didn't want to think about anything more. Anyway, it's a great thing to be valued by others. I'm not like those novel-traveling guests, who can go up and make friends when they meet a nobleman.

Turning the first page of the book, in the second year of Tiansheng Jiazike, the first place on the list is a great person.

Song Zhen, Shen Yun knows this person, because he also has a younger brother who is a scholar, and he co-edited the "History of the New Tang Dynasty" with Ouyang Xiu, and he is also famous for the sentence "Red apricot branches are in spring".

Although Song Zhen is not as famous as his younger brother in the history of literature, he has made great achievements in serving as an official. He successively served as the prime minister during the reigns of Renzong and Yingzong, and was praised by Yingzong.

Such a character, Shen Yun is also quite looking forward to his article.

In the order of the scientific examination of that year, the poetry and ink meaning were put at the forefront. After reading the poems of the early Tang Dynasty and reading the poems of Song Zhen, I felt mediocre. But after turning over this one, when the four or six prose texts were placed in front of Shen Yun, he only felt that he was really shallow.

As a lover of Chinese culture, in fact, Shen Yun read the Twelve Confucian Classics the most in his previous life.

Even in this life, compared with the memories of the two, Shen Yun is quite confident in the classics. He may not be able to do it by memorizing it backwards, but answering it positively, whether it is reciting, paraphrasing, or expounding, he can do a very good job.

But the poetry article is much worse.

Only by receiving the memory of the predecessor can it not completely form a shortcoming.

And Song Zhen's article is now read, although it is comparable to the famous prose such as "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" or "Liangdu Fu" that he remembers, but it also has its praise.

As for the policy theory, he expounded his own views in three aspects: the people's livelihood and the military system of government. This is not unprecious for Shen Yun, whose eyes are only limited to Qinzhou.

After reading all the articles of the Ten Heavenly Saint Jiazi Kejin Shi and the first ten people in one go, Shen Yun had an impulse, and began to write on the paper with a pen.

It is better to say that literati are less than willing to admit defeat. Although the paper is all ancestral articles, now that he has finished reading it, Shen Yun also has the idea of competing. Ren kept turning his thoughts, and the pen that had already been bald fell one after another strong and powerful words on the white paper.

Many times, a poem was completed, and then it was a short fu, although Shen Yun felt that he was not as good as these people above, he did not regret it, but continued to write strategies.

For a while, the change of light and shadow was like a blooming flower, swaying in the wind.
