"Qing'er, you're okay now, go to Mr. Wang tomorrow to learn calligraphy."

Hearing his mother speak, Wu Qing agreed, thinking that there is still a private school in such a poor place, it seems that this era still attaches great importance to education.

Seeing that Wu Qing was not very happy, the martial lady said in a stern tone, and said: "I think my martial arts family has been loyal and good generals for generations, although it is not a scholarly family, it is also a family of eunuchs, you should study well, and now the imperial court selects scholars, and treats the scholars of the cold family equally, he does not say that you are in the Jinshi, that is, in the Ming Jing, I also have a light on my face, and it is not in vain for my mother to pull you, and I am worthy of my ancestors after I die." ”

Hearing his mother say this, Wu Qing's heart was shocked inexplicably, it turned out that his own family was also an official eunuch's house, but unfortunately it seemed to be defeated. However, the matter of the imperial examination really stumped him, and for a chemical man, the Four Books and Five Classics and the like were really a headache and brain fever.

Just looking at his mother's strict expression, Wu Qing agreed, and said: "Mother asked the child to learn calligraphy, and the child just went, but the child saw that the mother was so hard, and he couldn't bear it, and the child was willing to go into the mountains with his mother to dig wild vegetables and work in the fields." ”

The martial lady couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that this child fell out of trouble, did such a very reasonable thing come from her child's mouth, but the martial lady was still very relieved in her heart, it seems that her child has really grown up and is more sensible. It's just that he was stopped by Wu Qing's next sentence.

"Mother, where is my father?"

"Ah, your father, he died a few years ago while fleeing the famine." The martial lady obviously couldn't help it.

Although Wu Qing is a ** silk, but with a few years of experience in mixed society, he can also see that he is not telling the truth. But there is a certain amount of hardship when you think about it, who can not have a secret.

On the second day, Wu Qing was sent to a private school in the village by Aunt Wu, saying that it was a private school, but it was only three or five blue-tiled houses, and the environment was quiet, with ancient cypress shade and birds chirping. Mr. Wang Baishi, a teacher, is quite knowledgeable, he once participated in the imperial examination, and after failing many times, he set up a private school in Xubei Village to teach the children in the village enlightenment.

Of course, Wang Baishi is also an out-and-out landlord, and some of the people in the village are his tenants. This private school is also an industry of Wang Baishi, in line with the principle of doing good things for the villagers, Wang Baishi became a gentleman.

Wu Qing wanted to know that this was a dynasty, and he could only know through Guò Wang Baishi, so he was very calm and serious. Although I don't know what Wang Baishi shook his head and said, that kind of serious and intoxicated expression had to make Wu Qing sincerely admire in his heart, this is a pure teacher, a very typical ancient gentleman.

In the morning, Wang Baishi taught a few ancient characters, which Wuqing basically knew, thanks to the strict requirements of the Chinese teacher in junior high school for the students to copy the Tang Dynasty willow style and European style.

The words "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness", Wu Qing glanced at them, and then recalled them for a while, and he had already remembered them, and he instantly realized that he had memorized things so quickly, which had never been done before.

Wang Baishi explained how to write the four words, and then explained their meanings. Reading between the lines, Wu Qing finally knew what dynasty it was now, and Wu Qing, who had never learned classical Chinese well, soon entered an infinite reverie.

In the third year of Linde, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian sealed Mount Tai, Wu Zetian's prestige reached a high point, and his hometown Wenshui County was also stained with some rain and dew, and taxes were reduced for one year. The people of Wenshui are even more grateful to Wu Zetian. Of course, at this time, Wu Zetian is not called Wu Zetian, but Wu Meiniang, and now the mother is in the world, and she is the queen of martial arts.

Wu Qing knew that at this time, the world was stable, and although the people's lives were not rich, they did not have much to worry about their lives except for droughts and floods. It's just that in the next 20 years, in order to ascend the throne of the emperor, Empress Wu used cool officials to eradicate dissidents, which was not recognized by the six relatives. The killing was bloody, the heads were rolling, all kinds of frame-ups, all kinds of torture such as tiger chairs, chili water, Ling Chi and so on emerged one after another. Empress Wu completely disintegrated the Guanlongmen valve. The children of the family and the Li clan were almost slaughtered, and what was even more ruthless was that they also killed the Wu clan of their mother's family and exiled them, which made later historians amazed.

Empress Wu is a ruthless person!

Wu Qing let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that he was also surnamed Wu, and in Xubei Village, Wenshui County, could it be that he was also Wu Zetian's clansman? He shook his head violently, it was really beyond his knowledge.

"Wu Qing!"

"Here!"

Wu Qing was eager, blurted out with a loud voice, attracting the attention of other children who were learning Wang Baishi and shaking their heads.

Wang Baishi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said with a stern expression: "Wu Qing, why did you shake your head, and why did you stand up and answer?" ”

Wu Qing also came to his senses at this time, and realized that his words and deeds just now really did not meet the standards of this era, so he immediately sat down and said: "Mr. quoted the scriptures and explained very well, but the student was stupid and did not understand, so he thought about it and shook his head, and suddenly heard Mr. calling, so he couldn't help but shout, and I hope that Mr. will not blame the student for being reckless." ”

This reply attracted Wang Baishi's attention, and Wang Baishi couldn't find fault with it, but he didn't expect that there would be such a polite child among the students he taught. Originally, he didn't want these children to understand much, but just instilled a way of thinking, so that they could also understand everything in this way in the future growth process. I didn't expect any children to think about it. It seems that this child is worth nurturing, maybe there will be a jinshi or something in the future, of course, the head is the best.

After thinking for a while, Wang Baishi had an idea and asked, "Wu Qing, I taught you four words today, have you ever learned them?" ”

Wu Qing replied seriously: "I only remember the form, but I don't understand the meaning. ”

Wu Qing felt a sour feeling in his heart for such words mixed with white words, when did he become so sour, but in order to cope with it and not let people be treated as monsters, he had to continue to be sour.

Ancient men like to grow beards, thinking that it is a symbol of beauty, Guan Gong has the name of a beautiful beard, from a certain aesthetic point of view, Wang Baishi is a beautiful man, and Wang Baishi is forty years old, this is the golden age of men in later generations.

Wang Baishi stroked his beard, as if he had found gold, his eyes were blazing, and he was ready to take the school exam, so he said: "Well, Wuqing, you write these four words silently, let the teacher see it." ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, so he had to pick up the brush, recalled the fingering of the pen taught by the Chinese teacher in junior high school, and then recalled the European style and the willow body, and then picked up the brush very calmly, did not know how to study ink, and saw that there was no ink in the inkstone, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm grinding ink for my brother!"
