It's thunder again, it's raining again, the little girl Rabbit Pavilion has been out with an umbrella for a long time, and she hasn't seen Zhang Yuan come back, Zhang's mother Lu is a little worried, accompanied by Yiting, and the little foot Lingding carefully walked through the potholed and waterlogged back garden, standing at the back door and looking at the side of the Demo River, just to see Zhang Yuan and them coming, so they were relieved.

"The fifth aunt is fine."

Zhang Dai gave gifts to Zhang's mother Lu, the young Zhang Dai was extravagant and flashy, and many hobbies of fresh-clothed horses and beautiful maids were similar to those of his cousin Zhang Cao, but he would not be so manic and unreasonable as Zhang Cao, he knew how to be courteous.

Zhang Cao used to come to Zhang Yuan to play, sometimes when he met Zhang's mother Lu just shouted "Auntie is good", he hurried by, how could he bow and salute, and then saw Zhang Dai salute, and followed the salute to say hello, so Zhang Cao was spoiled by his mother, Mrs. Wang.

Zhang's mother Lu said with a smile: "When did Zongzi come back?" Come in, come in, take shelter from the rain. ”

Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dai and Zhang Cao came to the study of the West Building to sit down, Wuling served tea, Zhang Dai took a small sip of the teacup, frowned slightly, didn't say anything, but refused to drink it again, obviously because Zhang Yuan's tea was too inferior.

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Zhang Zongzi, you still think my tea is inferior, I know your details, you enjoyed too much when you were young, and you were poor and destitute when you were old, so you had to personally pick up dung to irrigate the garden, and were called by the two old concubines to drink——"

Zhang Cao asked: "Big brother, how about you and Jie Zi play a game of Go first?" ”

Zhang Dai said happily: "It's still early, let's play a game first, and then test the school's ability to never forget." Asked: "Jie Zi, do you still play blind chess?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes." "This is not a deliberate contempt for Zhang Dai, but because playing blind chess requires a lot of concentration and patience, which can greatly exercise memory and imagination.

Zhang Dai was quite displeased, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll see the blind chess of meson." ”

The rain is still "booming" falling, outside the roof window, as if the strings are in a hurry, quite helpful to the chess fun, this game of chess played for more than half an hour, Zhang Dai held white, and lost five and a half sons in the final game.

Zhang Dai was a little ashamed, and Zhang Cao laughed on the side: "Big brother can't get under meson, haha." ”

Young and arrogant, Zhang Dai couldn't hold his face, and said negatively: "Jiezi, let's have another game." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Zongzi, let's go down here today, I still have to ask the eldest brother for poetry and books." ”

Zhang Dai's mind is not Zhang Cao's comparison, a little thought back to the game, found that he never had a chance to win, it seems that this is not a game, but the chess strength of the meson is really above him, and then he will definitely lose more and win less, not to mention the negative game-

"Hmm." Zhang Dai said: "I heard that you can recite it after listening to the "Collection of Explanations of the Spring and Autumn Classics", so I will test you, what did you remember in the four years of Duke Wen?" ”

Zhang Yuan recited: "In the spring of the fourth year, the prince is from Jin. Xia, the rebel Jiang Yuqi. Di invaded Qi. The people of Qiuchu destroyed the river. The Marquis of Jin invaded Qin. Wei Hou asked Ning Yu to hire. There is a month in the tenth month of winter, Mrs. Feng's sage. ”

This is the "Spring and Autumn" record of the fourth year of Lu Wengong's reign of the major events, after reciting the scriptures, Zhang Yuan will "Zuo Chuan" on the explanation of the year's major events recited aloud.

Zhang Daixi said: "It's word for word, why didn't I see that Jie Zi had such a talent before!" ”

Zhang Cao said: "Didn't you say it all, Jie Zi sat quietly and opened Su Hui after suffering from eye disease." ”

Zhang Dai said: "That meson can be called a seed of study, presumably it is also to seek fame through the imperial examination?" ”

Zhang Yuan replied unequivocally: "Exactly." ”

Zhang Cao pouted and said, "Vulgar! "He thinks he's doing cockfights all day.

Zhang Dai said with a smile: "The name of the first family, the first thing in the world, as soon as the yellow list comes out, even if it is deep in the mountains and poor valleys, all of them pass on their surnames, try to see the world's scholars, who can be good?" ”

Zhang Cao said: "I am not good, I regard fame as dung." ”

Zhang Dai shook his head and smiled, didn't reason with this cousin, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Has Jie Zi started to learn the art of making?" ”

The art is the text of the time, that is, the eight-strand text, which is the style created by Liu Bowen, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Yuan said: "I was about to ask my eldest brother for advice on the art of making." ”

Zhang Dai said: "You are based on the "Spring and Autumn Period", I am the "Poem", the eight-strand text is not difficult, you read through the "Four Books Collection Notes" and the Spring and Autumn Three Biography, you can learn to do the eight-strand text, but my generation of scholars, can not specialize in the eight-strand text, so that the vision is small, the mind is rotten, will be Han, Liu, Ou, Su these former sages laughed, I greatly appreciate Dongpo said, 'For the text should be like the source of Wanhu, do not choose the place. In the flat land bubbling, although it is said that there is no difficulty for thousands of miles, and it is unknowable with the twists and turns of the mountains and rocks, and the shape of things. He who knows always does what he ought to do, and he who stops at what he must not stop'. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded yes, and said in his heart: "This is the words in Su Shi's "Wen Shuo", of course, it is a wonderful literary theory, hehe, I understand why Xu Wenchang, Chen Jiru, Zhang Zongzi and other talents have repeatedly failed. ”

But I heard Zhang Dai say again: "Shiwen has also done well, Wang Jizhong and Liu Qidong are all Shiwen masters, and there are flying literary talents in the rules, and both of them have been selected as Jinshi." ”

Zhang Yuan asked: "Wang Jizhong is Wang Siren, so who is Liu Qidong?" ”

Wang Siren is also a native of Shaoxing, arrogant and upright, open-minded and witty, Lu Xun once quoted a famous saying of this fellow "Huiji is the hometown of revenge and shame, not a place to hide dirt and dirt", as for Liu Qidong, Zhang Yuan can't remember who it is?

Zhang Cao said: "Liu Qidong is Liu Zongzhou, a poor and sour. ”

It turned out to be Liu Zongzhou, Zhang Yuan said "oh", Liu Zongzhou was a master of Confucianism in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Qishan School he founded was very famous, and Huang Zongxi was Liu Zongzhou's student.

I heard Zhang Dai shouting: "The third brother must not be rude, Mr. Qidong is a person respected by his father." ”

Zhang Cao snorted and said, "It was he who was rude to me first." ”

Zhang Daiqi said: "Why is Mr. Qidong rude to you?" ”

Zhang Cao said indignantly: "Didn't he set up an apprenticeship in the Dashan Temple in the east of the city, last month the eldest father ordered me to study from him, I went, but within half a day, he drove me out, and said to the eldest father that this son cannot be taught, and I was scolded by the eldest father - really angry with me!" ”

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai both laughed, Zhang Cao's frivolous and irritable appearance, Liu Zongzhou, who is known for his rigor and uprightness, will certainly not accept him as an apprentice.

Zhang Cao was proud again, and said: "That poor sour refused to let me enter, and I didn't let him have a good time, I took two little guys to Dashan Temple that night, threw stones at the window of his residence, and smashed his door, I guess the poor sour fart-" glanced at Zhang Yuan and closed his mouth.

Zhang Dai shook his head again and again, this cousin is too ridiculous, the second uncle is not at home, and the eldest father can't control him, but Zhang Cao seems to be quite jealous of Jie Zi, what's going on?

Zhang Yuan asked Zhang Dai about the boy's test, Zhang Dai said: "The children's test is difficult to do, the county test, the government test, the road test are only one test, each to do two eight-strand essays, the county test, the government test is four book questions, the road test will have five scripture questions, this year's children's test has already ended, the meson test will have to wait until next year, every ugly, Chen, Wei, the year of the annual examination, Yin, Si, Shen, Hai year scientific examination, next February is the county test, then the April government test, the year after the year to participate in the school officer's test. ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "Xiucai also takes the exam once every three years, which really can't afford to delay." ”

Zhang Dai said: "The boy's test is the most difficult, as far as I know, about one out of fifty, one out of thirty in the township test, and one out of ten will try, and our Shaoxing Mansion has a very prosperous literary style, there are many readers, and it is particularly difficult for students to take the test, and it is estimated that it will take one in sixty or seventy." ”

This is like pouring a basin of cold water on Zhang Yuan's head, taking one out of sixty or seventy, this admission rate is too low.

Zhang Cao smiled and said: "Jiezi, you know that Shu Dao is difficult, how can you play the flute and sing music, Bolu chess is happy, you have blind chess skills, go to martial arts, go to Jinling, go to Guangling, and ensure that you have to be free for a lifetime, unrestrained, no worse than being an official." ”
