Wang Hongtai thought of all kinds of old people, and when he saw Zhang Mu at a young age, he endured humiliation and stealing his life, and couldn't help but cry.

The three of them couldn't help but hug their heads and cry.

It took a long time for Liu Shi to say: "Master, don't be sad, be careful of hurting your body." While speaking, he put on Zhang Mu's clothes.

It's just that when he saw the February day, Zhang Mu was only wearing a thin middle coat full of blood, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Brother Mu'er, although you say that your plan is foolproof. But opening a science and taking a career is not child's play in the end. How sure are you that you have been abandoning your studies for so many years? Zhou Hongtai asked worriedly, at this moment, in his heart, he was faintly worried about Zhang Mu.

After all, if it doesn't work out this time, Zhang Mu will reveal his identity, and I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult to move forward after rì, and he will be walking on thin ice.

He was already thinking in his heart, if he was not sure, he would let Zhang Mu take the exam next year, and use this year to review some homework, as for the rest, he was already ready to deal with Aunt Zhou.

"Sir, rest assured. I'm sure. Immediately, Zhang Mu walked to the desk, sat down, picked up the brush, and began to write on the straw paper.

"The jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin flies when it waits in the house." When Zhou Yongtai saw this, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but glance at his wife.

Zhang Mu's handwriting is vigorous and neat, iron bones, the ancients looked at words like people, just by virtue of these words, you can also know Zhang Mu's skills.

Looking at what he wrote, he knew that he had lofty ambitions and looked forward to one day making a splash and soaring into the sky.

In a trance, he seemed to see the young Shi Zhang Mu's father.

"Can you rest assured, sir?" Zhang Mu turned around and asked.

Wang Hongtai took a deep breath and said, "It's a big deal." ”

The county examination is only the first threshold of the imperial examination, so the requirements are very low.

Under normal circumstances, the county test is divided into the main field, the initial resumption, the re-resumption, and the face-to-face repetition.

Once you pass the exam, you will directly enter the interview.

The requirements of the main field are very simple, that is, the handwriting is neat, and those who are fluent in the words can pass the exam, and can directly participate in the government exam, and whether you want to take the exam or not, it all depends on the candidates themselves.

With Zhang Mu's words, Wang Hongtai, who has been in this road for many years, knows that Zhang Mu is absolutely the first to do the case this time.

"It seems that the Zhang family is going to produce a great talent!" Wang Hongtai smiled excitedly in his heart, but Wang Hongtai was still a little worried.

After all, the county exam may be easier, but the government exam is not so simple, poetry and poetry are only partial talents, and time is king.

In the end, whether it can be achieved or not depends on the meaning of the scriptures and the meaning of the four books, that is, the eight-strand text.

"Brother Mu'er, what can Jingyi do?" Zhou Hongtai asked curiously.

"You can give it a try, please ask Mr. to do the question." Zhang Mu took a deep breath and said, in order to wait for this day, he has waited for two years, and now it is time to test the results.

"That way, it's a little simpler. Listen up: the one who has the world. Zhou Hongtai said.

Zhang Mu groaned and said secretly in his heart: "This sentence is from the sixth chapter of "Mencius, Ten Thousand People". ”

After thinking for a moment, he put pen to paper and wrote: "The great sages and the two sages do not have the reason for the world, so as to see the sky and the son." Cover the saint in the world, not only with his virtue. It is also recommended by the Son of Heaven to the unvirtuous ears of the next generation. Otherwise, what is its virtue? ”

Seeing this, Wang Hongtai was surprised, the eight-strand essay pays attention to the five major parts of breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, eight shares, and closing.

Solving the problem is the easiest part of the eight strands, and you need to point out where the meaning of the verse comes from in one or two sentences, and you have to explain its main points and meanings. The requirement is that specific names should not appear directly, but should use "pronouns", such as Confucius to a sage, Mencius to a sage.

It's easy to say, but the Four Books and Five Classics are tens of thousands of words, and if you come out with a sentence at random, you will say where it comes from and what the meaning is.

Zhang Mu not only quickly solved the problem, showing that he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and secondly, he also noticed the "pronoun", which is really not simple for a thirteen-year-old child.

Then, it's a little more difficult to take on the topic.

I saw Zhang Mu ponder for a while, and then wrote: "This Mencius has listed the things of the saints to prove that Yu is not virtuous. Otherwise, what is its virtue? This Mencius has listed the events of the saints to prove that Yu's non-virtue declines. I want to tell the meaning of ten thousand chapters....... ”

These few sentences are to break the topic, further elaborate on the topic, and supplement the explanation.

Wang Hongtai saw what Zhang Mu wrote, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

However, it is nothing to accept the topic and solve the problem, and the next most difficult part is "to talk".

The so-called is the most distinctive part of the eight-strand text. Because from the very beginning, you can no longer use your own point of view to discuss the problem, but use the tone of Confucius and Mencius to discuss the problem, which is the most pitiful "speaking on behalf of the sage"

When Zhang Mu arrived here, he took a deep breath, pondered for about a quarter of an hour, and wrote: "My son said that Yu is a person who is declining in virtue, and Gaitu knows that it is beneficial to Shun and Yu, but he does not know that Qi Zhi is not Zhu and Junye." Since ancient times, there are not many saints in the world, how can it be good alone, what is it? Those who have the world are not said to be saints and the heavens are also with them. ”

Seeing this, Wang Hongtai couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Okay!" ”

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Wang Hongtai, who has studied scriptures all his life, saw that this jīng was wonderful, his grammar was unique, and he knew in his heart that Zhang Mu was definitely this material. I secretly said in my heart: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, it definitely didn't look like it was written by a thirteen-year-old child, it's really terrible!" Among them, "Zhu and Jun" are Yao's son Danzhu and Shun's son Shang Jun, from "Historical Records: Five Emperors", which shows that Zhang Mu's child also has a dabbling in historiography, which is even more difficult. ”

Next is the most difficult part of the eight-strand text - eight-strand.

The so-called "shares" refers to the dual sentences of this part, and a group of dual sentences counts as two shares.

This part of the progress statement begins with the statement. And to use dual sentences, this is to fully demonstrate the candidate's talent and ability, just like dancing on the tip of a needle, writing on a grain of rice, extremely harsh.

This is not something that ordinary people can do. How many candidates are ruined here.

Wang Hongtai has studied the scriptures and texts for many years, and he does not have a great grasp of this part.

He didn't think that Zhang Mu had this ability, so he said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay if you can't do it." ”

"Students give it a try." Zhang Mu said confidently.

After pondering for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Mu finally put down the pen: "The merit must not be against the situation and dúlì, the name cannot be memorized and the time is unique,...... "Shun does not meet Yao, a husband of cultivation has been done, Yu does not meet Shun, a son of Chongbo." Therefore, although Zhongni has the virtue of Shun Yu, he is not Yao Shun. Familiar with the country, Gai Qide is, its position is not, and the sky is also with the world! If the husband is virtuous and recommended, and there is no one in the world, why not? Gaipif is the one who has the world and the successor who has the world, and its momentum is also high. ……。 The great evil is like a curse, and then there is the punishment of Muye. In the world of Yu, Gou did not meet the ruin, and he did not die; In the world of soup, there is no encounter, and it is not dead. Although Soyi, Yiyin, and Zhou Gong have the virtue of Shun Yu and the recommendation of the Son of Heaven, they are not admonished. Qi Zhixian is enough to succeed Xia, while Shang is too Jia; The sage of Taijia is enough to succeed Shang, and Zhou is the king. ”

When Wang Hongtai saw this, his heart was beating, he couldn't help but staggered back a step, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Blue is better than blue, how can it be human?" ”

About an hour, Zhang Mu finished writing, lifted it up and dried the ink, and looked at it carefully a few times, and he felt that there was no problem, so he handed it to Wang Hongtai nervously.

However, Wang Hongtai didn't look at it, looking at Zhang Mu for a while, he started to read from the first word Zhang Mu wrote, this piece of article is wonderful, the language is heavenly, and the text is open and closed, which is almost comparable to Han Yu's "Asking Yu".

He asked himself, with his talent, he would never have published such a splendid article under any circumstances.

It's really a young phoenix and a young phoenix, for some reason, Wang Hongtai suddenly feels that he is really old.

"Sir?" Zhang Mu whispered.

Wang Hongtai came back to his senses from the battle between heaven and man, looked at Zhang Mu with very complicated eyes, and said with a pleased smile: "If you can maintain this level, don't say that one of the beings is a person, even if we can pass the test." ”

"Really?" Zhang Mu asked a little apprehensively, after all, he was still a little rusty with Baguwen and didn't have much confidence.

"You just have to study hard, and I'll take care of the rest. It seems that the Zhang family is going to have a character. Wang Hongtai said with a lot of emotion.

"Sir, I'm worried now that if I really go to the county exam, Aunt Zhou will definitely be very vigilant. I have a way to get out of it now, but I have to rely on my husband's help. Zhang Mu whispered.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Hongtai was obviously still immersed in the article just now, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "You say first, your master and I will help you pay attention, we must do this matter without leakage, and it is foolproof." ”

Then, after Zhang Mu whispered to Wang Hongtai and Liu, the three of them looked at each other and immediately smiled.

————————————————————

At dusk, the light rain was still dripping.

And the day was darkened early, Zhang Mu's carriage arrived at the corner gate, and he got out of the carriage and headed towards his own courtyard.

After discussing with Wang Hongtai, Zhang Mu had been planning for a long time, and finally saw his eyebrows.

The thing to do now is to brush up on your homework and be more cautious.

"Stop."

At this time, Zhang Mu suddenly listened to Zhang Ao's voice, looked back, and immediately showed a smirk.

Zhang Ao is the son of Aunt Zhou and Zhang Mu's half-brother, three years older than Zhang Mu, and got married last year.

Today, he is wearing a blue-gray sè cloud head satin robe, a blue sè silk silk tie around his waist, and a Tang scarf on his head, looking dignified.

This is thanks to Zhang Mu's father and Aunt Zhou, who have a good skin, but his eyes are bloodshot, his bags are black, and he smells of alcohol, God knows that he just came back from there.

Behind Zhang Mu was a Taoist priest wearing a rusty flamingo with a collar trim and a black felt pure yang scarf.

This Taoist priest calls himself Yu Zhenzi, he is thirty years old, his body is slightly blessed, and he is the Taoist chief of Qingyunguan outside the city, and he has a close relationship with Zhang Ao.

"Crazy to go there? Why isn't there anyone looking at you? At this time, Zhang Ao shouted at Zhang Mu with a little anger.

Zhang Mu was too lazy to intersect with him, so he still smirked.

At this time, Songwen ran over madly, hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, the second master just came back from school." The little one was ...... in the stable. ”

"Don't be verbose, you kid can give me good eyes. Otherwise, be careful that the master cleans you up. Zhang Ao impatiently threw down such a sentence, glared at Zhang Mu again, and then turned around and bowed his waist and smiled: "Dao Chief, please here." ”

As soon as Yu Zhenzi bowed, she headed towards the backyard.

"Oh, young master, don't look at it, let me send you back quickly, otherwise I won't be able to eat again in a while." Speaking of this, Songwen dragged Zhang Mu back to his small courtyard.

After leaving Zhang Mu, Songwen ran out in a smoke, Zhang's dinner was relatively early, and Songwen was afraid of missing dinner.

Zhang Mumu sent Songwen away, sat down at his desk, lit a candle, and began to recite his homework.

Usually after this o'clock, no one will disturb here, and under normal circumstances, Zhang Mu has no dinner to eat.

However, this also gave Zhang Mu plenty of time to read angrily.

I remember that in his previous life, one of Zhang Mu's leaders said that the hardships that people can endure in this life will become the cornerstone of their success.

In Zhang Mu's view, these hardships can make him ignite endless anger, and it is these angers that have supported Zhang Mu to this day.

Before he knew it, it was late at night, and Zhang Mu was hungry, so he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen is in the corner of the backyard, not far from Zhang Mu's small courtyard, which is also one of the reasons why Zhang Mu moved here in the first place.

Skillfully pushed open the kitchen door, but in the dark, chaos, and long-term nutritional deficiencies made Zhang Mu have serious night blindness.

Fortunately, with my familiarity with this place, I was able to touch two radishes and a few raw eggs.

"Good luck today." Zhang Mu smiled heartily and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard footsteps, and Zhang Mu hurriedly hid at the base of the wall.

"Dao Chief, are you really sure about this matter?" Zhang Ao's voice came from outside the wall.

"When did Poor Dao tell a lie?" Yu Zhenzi smiled.

"Then if it fails......

"Zhang Ao, I have always been cautious, and this time the poor road is also based on your piety, so I gave you a chance. Although the shovel king failed, as long as we succeed this time, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos, and when the time comes, this Jiangnan is not our world? You're just giving some money for the teaching, but if it happens, you don't have to talk about the benefits? Take a long-term view. Besides, God knows about this matter, even if the matter is revealed, what does it have to do with you? Yu Zhenzi smiled faintly.

"That's what the Taoist said." Zhang Ao hurriedly smiled.

When Zhang Mu heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly held his breath.

Then listening to Zhang Ao send Yu Zhenzi to the corner gate, Zhang Ao walked towards his small courtyard in a puff of smoke.

Back in the room, Zhang Mu threw the food on the table, and took a few deep breaths before calming down.

This Yu Zhenzi and Zhang Ao have a close relationship, at first Zhang Mu thought that this Yu Zhenzi was just trying to cheat some incense money, but now Zhang Mu knows that this Yu Zhenzi is a disciple of the White Lotus Sect if he can't get it.

And he is not an ordinary believer, the king he just mentioned is the anti-thief Wu Fen'er.

This Wu Fen'er bulldozed the king, Hongwu gathered people in Huguang in the eleventh year to rebel, after being suppressed, he hid, until the eighteenth year before rebelling again, numbering 200,000 troops, but then was destroyed by Xinguo Gongtang and to the destruction.

Not long has passed since this incident, so the people still remember it vividly, and Zhang Mu heard about it from the man in the house.

Zhang Ao is participating in the rebellion, this is the crime of rebellion of the nine clans, if the incident happens, none of the Zhang family will survive.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mu's face showed a touch of murderous intent.
