"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." The old gentleman sat in front of the class and talked about filial piety attentively. Li Shan listened to it drowsily, and he finally found a more hypnotic class than the English class, the ancient literature class of the old pedant.

The cause of the incident was naturally an inexplicable edict from the emperor to allow Li Shan to participate in the imperial examination. If you want to enter Beijing for the exam, you must first pass the state exam. Li Shan didn't care about this matter, but Lu Jiuyuan was really active, and directly helped Li Shan to register, and the emperor ordered the green light on all roads in his body, isn't it that the scholars can't go to official school? It doesn't matter, Lu Jiuyuan can easily handle it with an official document. Haven't taken the township test yet? It doesn't matter, Lu Jiuyuan directly called the chief examiner of the township exam to Li Shan's house.

So Li Shan's first exam since he crossed over, for Li Shan, who hadn't taken the exam for a long time, was still a little nervous. The three old scholars, who were almost two hundred years old together, sat in front of Li Shan and said kindly: "Don't be nervous, the exam questions this time are very simple, Master Lu has personally explained it, and Li Gongzi must be allowed to pass the test." Okay, let's ask Li Gongzi to recite the tenth chapter of the Book of Filial Piety. ”

After speaking, the three old men looked at Li Shan with a smile, and of course Li Shan looked at them with the same smile. Politeness, it must be wanted, as for what the tenth chapter of this Book of Filial Piety is, Li Shan can only say How do I know, I haven't read a book for a few days before, it's no problem for you to let me read it, it's difficult for you to let me memorize it, and I can't be unreasonable.

As the four of them looked at each other, the smiles on the faces of the three old scholars gradually stiffened, and Li Shan coughed and said, "That, can you change the exam question?" The old scholar sitting in the middle seemed to be the examiner, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little after listening to Li Shan's words: "That, okay." Please Li Gongzi was sent the first part of the Tao Te Ching. "This difficulty has been reduced more than a little bit, as long as you have studied the Tao Te Ching, it is impossible not to memorize the first one!

Of course, Li Shan lived up to expectations, he hadn't memorized it for a long time, just kidding, how could he memorize the Tao Te Ching. At best, I know a sentence: "The Tao is very Tao, and the name is very famous." "Since Mr. Lao Tzu has said, "Chang Dao" can't be said, so what's the point of memorizing this? Of course not.

So, the smiles of the three old pedants froze. "That, Li Gongzi, what will you carry?" It's helpless, as long as you can recite it, forget it, anyway, the order from above is given. Li Shan thought for a while and said, "Is the three-character scripture okay?" "This is the only thing Li Shan can memorize, and he can't memorize it completely.

I saw the three old pedants nodding with smiles that were more ugly than crying. "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration, and the way of teaching is specialized. Xi Meng's mother, choose a neighbor, the son does not learn, and the machine is broken. Dou Yanshan, who has a righteous side, teaches five sons, and is famous. If you don't teach, your father's fault, your teaching is not strict, and your teacher is lazy. If the child does not learn, it is not appropriate, and if the young do not learn, what is the old? The jade is not cut, it is not a tool, people do not learn, and they do not know the righteousness. As a son of man, when Fang was young, he was a teacher and friend, and practiced etiquette. Almost, right? ”

Li Shan carried it to the limit, and saw that a few old scholars had no intention of shouting to stop, so he simply asked directly. "Ah, okay, okay. Li Gongzi is talented and thoughtful, and it is easy to pass the township test. The old man still has something to do, so he took his leave first. "The three old pedants disappeared like that.

Therefore, there is the current problem, and it is absolutely impossible to pass the imperial examination without filial piety and morality. Lu Jiuyuan learned about Li Shan's performance from the three old pedants, and with that surprised expression, his mouth was so open that he could eat an ostrich egg. Who would have imagined that Li Shan, who has always been full of talent, can't memorize all three character scriptures! Hurry up and arrange for Li Shan to go to the official school to study, if the emperor knows, it is possible to treat him for the crime of bullying the king.

"Haha, I didn't expect that our Li Dacai would also fall asleep when he was in class, and Li Dacai didn't know how to be filial. It's so gratifying. Sun Helian looked at the sleepy Li Shan and whispered. That's right, Li Shan, who came to study at Jingzhou College, actually saw Sun Helian, for so long, Li Shan only knew today that Sun Helian was still studying in Shangguan, but looking at his virtue of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, I'm afraid he hasn't been here much.

Li Shan was in no mood to joke, because Lu Jiuyuan had just given Li Shan a test of the seriousness of this matter, and the crime of bullying the monarch was really going to be killed, so Li Shan's top priority now was to pass Jingzhou's solution, if he couldn't pass it, he would probably be troubled by Zhao, and Li Chengwei would now be in Chang'an. If you heard the wind, you might really stab him in the back.

"My talent is natural, like this kind of endorsement handouts or something, I haven't learned it at all, and now it's really useless for me to memorize these things. Are there any exams that you don't need to memorize? Li Shan leaned on the table and asked.

Sun Helian raised his head and thought for a while: "If you want to say that the least you can memorize should be the Ming Arithmetic Department, you can basically memorize the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". But what kind of algorithm, a few fractions of things are a headache when you look at them. And even if he is admitted to the Ming Arithmetic Department, he is just a petty official from the ninth grade, and he has no future. ”

Li Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, this is right. It doesn't matter how many grades he has from, he can pass the test. What is the Book of Filial Piety, the Tao Te Ching, does Lao Tzu need to memorize? If you have the ability, you can memorize a ninety-nine multiplication table for me to see. Li Shan turned his worries into joy, and was proud, when his head was knocked hard by the ring ruler.

The firepower value in Li Shan's body exploded in an instant, and when he looked up, the old scholar waited for Li Shan with an angry face: "Don't think that you have anything to do with it, you can mess around in my class." Tell you, don't care what kind of official your father is, or what relatives you have in the academy, that's not good. Li Shan glanced at Sun Helian next to him, isn't it okay for him to skip so many classes? I believe in your wickedness.

"Master, I want to ask you a question? Why does it thunder and rain in the sky, why is there winter and summer? The old master was originally full of momentum, and he wanted to see Li Shan cut his head and cover his face as soon as he made a move, and he taught him a lesson. As a result, Li Shan suddenly asked such a question, and almost choked to death. "This, this, what's the crap? Every day, I know that I think crankily and do not seek progress. The sage has no clear teachings, and I don't see you asking a few words. ”

Li Shan stood up with a smile and said, "What is the use of the sage's enlightenment? Is it to keep the people fed, or to let the people be warm? Meng Fuzi has long said that the people are precious, the monarch is light, and the community is secondary. If a scholar only knows how to sing praises and cater to the king, he will already be inferior. The boy couldn't stand the pedantic atmosphere in this house, so he took his leave. "I won't leave anymore.

"Brother Li, go slowly, wait for me." As soon as Li Shan came out, Sun Helian followed. Li Shan looked back and smiled: "What's the matter, the master asked you to come out too?" ”

"The master is so angry with you that he can't get up on the ground, where is he going to be happy? I stole it and ran out. Where are you going? ”

Li Shan looked around and said, "I'm going to take a look at the Ming Arithme Department, but I don't know where this Ming Arithmetic Department is, you are familiar with the academy, just take me there." ”

"Are you really going to go to the Ming Arithmetic Department? Let me tell you, the Ming Arithmetic Department is a very stinky old stubborn, if you don't come to the Ming Arithmetic Department, you will not be welcomed, and there is your own arrogance, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it. ”

Li Shanyi pushed Sun Helian: "Hurry up and lead the way, where is there so much nonsense." ”

When I arrived at the Ming Arithmetic Department, it was really deserted, there was no class in the afternoon, and an old scholar was dozing off on the Taishi chair. Li Shan knocked on the door and went in, but Sun Helian hid aside, he didn't want to touch this mold.

"Boy Li Shan, I want to study in the Ming Arithmetic Department, and I ask my master to accept me as a student." Li Shan stepped forward to say. The master was awakened and stunned for a moment: "Oh, you have to learn to know how to calculate, where are you?" Why didn't I get a notification before? ”

"Master, I was recommended by Lord Lu to study here this morning, and I was in the Jinshi Department before, so I thought it was boring so I came to the Ming Arithmetic Department to have a look."

Many people are heavy on Jinshi and light on Ming Arithmetic, but I didn't expect that there was a person who didn't read Jin Shi and came to learn Ming Arithmetic. The old master was happy to hear it: "Okay, good, the son can be taught." This is obviously a university question. Where did you study before? ”

"Master Hui, he didn't learn from a teacher, but the kid is talented and smart, and believes that he can learn anything at once." Li Shan patted his chest and reassured.

The old master was quite happy, but it turned out to be a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to make a fool of himself. Immediately said angrily: "You kid want to come and mess around, let me tell you, although we are few and weak, but we don't collect all the miscellaneous fish, you want to fish in troubled waters here, don't think about it." Get out of here! "After that, you have to beat the ruler when you pick up the ring.

Li Shanyan quickly grabbed the old master's hand, he didn't want to take another commandment: "Master, I really want to enter the Ming Arithmetic Department, and it's nothing else, just give me a qualification for the exam when you solve the exam." It's really not good, you test me first, and see if I can answer it, and then it's not too late. ”

The old master had a great temper, and he didn't give up at all, so he didn't stop Li Shan's words at all: "Don't quibble, get out of here." Don't roll again, see that I don't break your legs. ”

Li Shan was also angry, what kind of person is this, so he deliberately disdainfully said: "It turns out that the people of the Ming Arithmetic Department are just vain, I thought they had any real skills?" It turns out that as Jinshike said, it's just posturing. "The method of agitation really works, Li Shan is really tried.

As soon as these words came out, the old master stopped scolding, put down the ring ruler and said, "What did you say? Am I in vain? Let me tell you, the old man of the Ming Calculation Branch said that it was the second in Jingzhou, and no one dared to say that Jingzhou was the first. ”

Li Shan was waiting for this sentence: "This is what you said, then let's compete with each other, if I win, you let me take the exam, if I lose, I can beat and scold, whatever you want." If you don't speak, you agree! Then I'll start with the question, the topic is very simple, call the chicken and rabbit in the same cage...... "Li Shan doesn't care what the master is, the first strike is strong."

Sun Helian leaned against the class tree outside the door, muttering with a dogtail in his mouth: "This Brother Li is usually very smart, why can't he think about it like this?" What's so easy to learn about this Ming arithmetic subject, why bother if you don't get it right? With the door closed, he couldn't see what was going on inside, so he had to wait outside.

However, what surprised Sun Helian next was that Li Shan opened the door and came out, and the old master followed behind him with the appearance of a student very respectfully: "Li Gongzi is good, the old man is really old and dizzy, and he is offended and offended." After some teaching, the old man benefited a lot. ”

Li Shan smiled and waved his hand: "What about my exam?" ”

"No problem, on the third day of September, you just have to come then. I'll arrange it for you. ”

"Then there is Lao Fuzi, and I will take my leave."

Li Shan walked up to Sun Helian, patted his head and said, "It's done, let's go." Just come to the exam on the third day of September, and the rest of the time will be relieved. ”

Sun Helian swallowed and foamed, "What does that master mean?" Benefit? Brother Li, what did you do to Master? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I told him about a problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and by the way, I told him a nine-nine multiplication table."
