Although there are more and more people coming to study in the Lu Family's Thatched Cottage, so many that when people see a familiar figure, they often have to bother to recall that person's name, however, the first ten disciples of the Lu Family's Thatched Cottage will definitely be firmly remembered by everyone. Among them, Du Shiyi is by no means the most eye-catching, but it is the easiest to remember.

First, there are the thread-bound books that have long been popularized in Lu's thatched cottage, and secondly, the strangely shaped furniture in his room, especially the seat that he calls an armchair when he sits with his feet down, and third, he ......

That is, he has gone down the mountain the most times, and every time he comes back, he can always win the awe of Lu Hong, who is not too close to idlers!

This time it was the same, Lu Hong watched with great interest as Du Shiyi personally brushed his sleeves and sharpened the ink, until he had already accumulated a small half of the stone inkstone, he took the pen handed over by Lu Wangzhi on the side, dipped his hand in ink and sketched a few strokes on the ruler-sized rattan paper. After a little effort, he put down his pen, looked at the pine tree that had already jumped on the paper, and said thoughtfully: "The brushwork is impeccable, and this sè ze is the best for painting ink landscapes." And ......"

He suddenly lowered his body, almost brought his eyes to the paper, and looked at it for a while before straightening up again: "And this ink is more uniform and full...... However, just now, Eleven Lang was too anxious to grind the ink, and almost ruined my side of Yuzhou Gongyan! ”

When Lu Hong said this, Cui Jianxuan on the side suddenly lowered his head with an extremely weak heart, and Lu Wangzhi took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Cui Shiyi Lang has not been a day or two, grinding ink is a trivial matter, even if it is a trouble, it is only an inkstone, but if it is a major event of the family and the country, if you are so careless, it will be a big disaster." In this way, I will give you a task, now that the students of the grass hall are coming and going, and your third senior brother is so busy that his feet barely touch the ground, you go and help him. The names of the students in each rì, as well as the names and places of origin of the students from all parties once a month, are under your control. After all, these are all to be sent to Dengfeng County in time. ”

Cui Jianxuan didn't expect to see such a task when he saw the excitement, and he gasped for a while. He hurriedly gave Du Shiyi a look, hoping that he would help pull it, but Du Shiyi hadn't seen his anxious expression yet, but Lu Hong had already seen it, and he actually added another sentence at the moment.

"Eleven Lang, what your senior brother said is good. You should sharpen your temper carefully, these things are trivial, but they also have other rules, so you should practice slowly first. ”

The senior brother said this, and now the teacher also said so, Cui Jianxuan had to agree in frustration, and gave Du Shiyi a resentful look before leaving the house. As soon as he left, Lu Wangzhi casually found an excuse, and it was also a good thing to slip away, at this time, Lu Hongfang asked Du Shiyi thoughtfully: "Nineteen Lang, you have been studying how to make ink, it should be more than just for money, right?" ”

In front of Lu Hong, Du Shiyi will always be calmer. In the eyes of an old man who was also from a famous family, who was accustomed to the cold and cold of the world, and then chose the path of seclusion, many of his plans could not be hidden at all - just like the reason why he claimed not to take a letter of recommendation to study in the past, he was exposed to the lie by Cui Jianxuan's big mouth.

At this moment, he sat on the humble seat opposite under Lu Hong's signal, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu also thinks too highly of me, I even have the shame of Thirteen Niang in the Cui Mansion in the Eastern Capital, and there is only one unreliable uncle in the family, so naturally I can't help but bend my waist for five buckets of rice." ”

"But your method is too much trouble." Lu Hong stroked his beard with a smile, and suddenly asked bluntly, "Nineteen Lang, when you first learned from me, you said that you would study historical books, learn laws, and learn tests. The first two things are diligent and have a strong ability to comprehend, and now you have done your best to understand the history and the law, and the latter one, you have also made great progress in the past two years, and if you let others see what you have done, no one will say anything about Jiang Lang's talent. However, although it is popular in private examinations, the only thing that can be used is Jinshike, are you going to go to Jinshike? ”

Du Shiyi didn't expect Lu Hong to directly expose this, and was silent for a moment before leaning over and saying, "Yes, the disciple has had this intention since then. Although the disciples can also do it, the words are limited, and they can't enjoy it, and it is too difficult to excel. The disciple has lived in the mountains for several years, but his heart for fame and fortune has not been extinguished, and he can't meditate on studying knowledge like the senior brother and the third senior brother......"

"I don't want to be an official myself, but I have never said that you are not allowed to go out, and besides, everyone has their own ambitions, how can they force it?"

Lu Hong smiled dumbly, and casually interrupted Du Shiyi's words, and then said: "On the occasion of the first meeting of the saint, I also said the same thing to the saint, if there are a few talents among the disciples who can pass through the heavens and latitudes, and can assist the Son of Heaven and serve the political side, then I will be a teacher and be satisfied." You are diligent and studious, and you were only thirteen years old when you were able to sympathize with the people's livelihood and suffering, and then you were more sympathetic to other poor students in the cottage. The manuscripts you have accumulated are often lent to them to copy, and they are often discussed with them when consulted. You don't have to be modest, you can see the big from the small, if you can become a leader in the future, at least you are an official who benefits one party! ”

"Master Lu, if I continue to talk about it, I will be embarrassed."

Du Shiyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and when he saw a childish smile on Lu Hong's face, he realized that the teacher was actually teasing him, and he couldn't help crying and laughing for a while.

However, then Lu Hong said: "It's just that the test I taught you before can only be said to be a private test

The trial assignment cannot be said to be the trial endowment of Jinshike. The essay test in the second field of Jinshi is a crown of Zhengda, and the opening and closing are brilliant and magnificent, and the restriction of rhyme has restrictions on the pattern. The rhyme feet mostly rhyme with an ancient sentence, but fortunately, sometimes it is necessary to be in order, and sometimes it is not necessary to be in order. You have a general history book, so those allusions from the past and the present, etc., can be used in the test fu, which is the biggest advantage for you. In addition, next year's essay test is a test fu, and the year after next is a test poem, as for the praise of the inscription, it has not been tested for many years. Starting from the Ming rì, you try to give one article every two rì, and I will comment with you one by one......"

Although it is not the first time that Lu Hong has taught himself to try to give a gift, there is still no such nuanced Dun Dun teaching as he is now. Therefore, Du Shiyi sat upright and listened attentively, only listening to Lu Hong's expedition and quotations, from the Jingzhao Mansion and Tonghua Erzhou to solve the test and even the examination questions of the year after the martial arts, and skillfully recited those widely circulated test fu famous articles, often extracting those jīng Cai from which he analyzed him word by word, he became more and more engrossed, and went to Zuihou to discuss the sentence format with Lu Hong, even when the two people outside the room opened the curtain and looked in, he was not aware of it.

This talk was a full two hours, Lu Hong concentrated, Du Shiyi gathered jīng to meet the gods, and when he stayed in Zuihou, Pei Ning, who had quietly come over and watched it three or four times, couldn't help it, opened the curtain and went in and coughed heavily, seeing that neither of the teacher and the student responded, he raised his voice and coughed again, and finally gained four glances at him.

"What time is it?" Lu Hong opened his mouth to ask, only then did he hear Du Shiyi's stomach growling, and found that the sky was completely dark, and he couldn't help but hahadaxiao for a while, "Happy and forget hunger, really happy and forget hunger...... Okay, okay, it's not enough to talk about this in one day, Nineteen Lang, let's go to the Five Organs Temple first, and then talk about it in detail these days! The trial endowment from the queen of heaven to the present, I have received a lot here, you might as well copy and figure it out! ”

This dinner was too late, and when the hungry Du Shiyi finally filled her stomach and went back to the thatched hut to rest, she saw Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning standing at the door of the thatched hut.

At this moment, the bright moon hangs high in the night sky, but it is difficult to hide the bright starlight, the mountains have already quieted down, the insects are chirping, the night breeze is blowing, and many grass huts have turned off the lights, which shows that the people who are studying and studying hard have slept. In the thatched hut behind Lu Wangzhi, Cui Jianxuan's slurred voice could still be heard in his dreams. Lu Wangzhi just stood with his clothes open and his arms exposed, and his face that was always smiling was rare and serious at this time, and Pei Ning's cold face seemed to be even colder.

The second senior brother Song Shen is the best person to deal with with modestly, and Lu Wangzhi seems to be casual and casual, but in fact, he has a clear account in his chest, not to mention Pei Ning, who is now a few hundred people in the mountains, and there are almost no people who are not afraid of him. Therefore, Du Shiyi, who was facing this scene, couldn't help but muttered in her heart, and after thinking about it, she didn't feel that she had made any mistakes, so she took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Senior brother, third senior brother."

"Little junior brother, hello!" Lu Wangzhi smiled and clasped his hands, but the next sentence was completely out of tune with the first greeting, "When are you going to resign and go down the mountain?" ”

Seeing that Du Shiyi was stunned by Lu Wangzhi's words, Pei Ning couldn't help but squint at Lu Wangyi in displeasure, and then said lightly: "Senior brother, you just don't hear it." Little junior brother, you and I have only been learning pipa for more than half a year, but you and Cui Shiyilang are different from fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. What Master Lu taught you today, Senior Brother and I have heard. I'm not good at it, so I only have one thing for you. ”

Taking the roll of things handed over by Pei Ning, Du Shiyi hesitated for a moment before opening it. Then the moon was shining, and he recognized that this was a volume of music scores, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see Pei Ning still saying calmly: "This is some of the pipa music scores that I have collected over the years and newly composed. Since you can create a new song at the Bi Guogong Night Banquet, these things should be helpful to you. What's more, I didn't need these scores for a long time. ”

Being polite to Pei Ning would only make him angry, so Du Shiyi no longer humbled himself and directly put it in his arms. When Pei Ning left without looking back, at this time, Lu Wangzhi stretched his waist, and then said with a smile: "Since Master Lu has high hopes for the little junior brother, you have to work harder and work harder." After rì, we are full of hundreds of people, and we will entrust all of them to you to take care of! ”

Without waiting for Du Shiyi to agree or object, he happily went down the two or three bamboo stairs in front of the house, and when he reached Du Shiyi's side, he whispered: "San Lang is not very interested in officialdom, I'm a xìng son, if I don't cause trouble outside, Master Lu will celebrate with my forehead." The second junior brother and the fourth junior brother are all from poor backgrounds, and they don't seem to be enthusiastic about the future of their careers, while the sixth junior brother is a mediocre person. Although the grass hall is now enshrined by the Son of Heaven, it can't withstand the change of government decrees. Since you have this heart, Master Lu praises it, and those of us who are senior brothers will naturally try our best to help you. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Wangzhi paused, and then continued: "Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, those examiners of the Gongju have taken turns to preside over the New Year's Examination, and I have nothing else to help you, only the preferences of these people, I know a thing or two." Next year and the year after tomorrow should be Li Na, this person is no better than Pei Yaoqing and others before, greedy into xìng, and it will be difficult for the powerful to hold their own trust, you have to know in your heart. However, if you want to think of Li Na, you have to pass the Jingzhao Mansion test first! ”
