In the study, Xun Or opened the fire paint on the envelope, took out the stationery, and after reading it, he frowned, stroked his beard, thought about it, and called outside.
"I went to the side courtyard to call Zhou Xun to come, and said that the old man had something to ask him."
The servant took the order and went to the secluded courtyard where Zhou Xun lived and saw Zhou Xun.
Since the Flower Dynasty Festival, Zhou Xun has been living here, reading, practicing calligraphy, and doing questions.
After the county test, it is the government test, and the difficulty of the questions will be even higher.
Most of the county exams are memorized, as long as you memorize the classics and have a solid foundation, you will get nine out of ten.
When it comes to the government examination, an essay will be added, that is, a sentence or paragraph extracted from the classics will be used as a topic, and the candidate will use this topic to make up his mind, solve the question, elaborate, and compose.
This is an extremely test of skills, and most people who are not familiar with the meaning of classic content will most of them fall off the list.
There are 13 compulsory classics, 26 kinds of common examination classics, and more than 300 reference works of predecessors......
If you want to pass the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, become a student, and achieve fame in the show, thirteen of these books must be memorized, and you must be able to understand the meaning...... If not, you will not become a member of the life and will not be famous.
Although Xiucai is only the lowest fame of the imperial examination, it is not so neglectful, and he must have an extraordinary memory.
Zhou Xun obtained from the teacher a collection of government examination questions and top ten candidates' answers in previous years.
This is no different from the version sold in the bookstore outside, each article is accompanied by the teacher's own commentary, which is a treatment that only a disciple can have.
Zhou Xun made a test paper every day, solved the question more than ten times, and pondered repeatedly, and now it has been two months.
"Practicing a pen is like practicing a sword, you have to exercise your wrist strength and eyesight, and you must pay attention to precision and stability, no wonder the prince can become a swordsman."
There is an interesting story among the scholars in this world, the former dynasty Taishi has a younger son Wang Mingzhi, usually loves calligraphy, practices calligraphy in the courtyard, washes ink with a pond, and over time, the pond is full of ink ponds, and the plum blossoms by the pond are also dyed into ink plums.
Subsequently, the former dynasty was destroyed, the world snake python rose everywhere, Wang Mingzhi and his family died in the chaos of the army, then the sword was killed, although not through swordsmanship, but the calligraphy, deep fast and accurate stability of the three flavors, for a while like a wild grass, kill through the chaos army, actually escaped from the old Kyoto.
Later, he devoted himself to sword training, and after three years of success, he actually became a generation of famous swordsmen.
This Wang Mingzhi was originally a calligrapher, he has been practicing calligraphy for a long time, he has wrist strength and eyesight, he uses the sword as a pen, and the iron paints silver hooks, and he has practiced a good swordsmanship in three years.
Although it is an interesting story, it is enough to show the similarities between practicing calligraphy and practicing swords.
"The examiner marks the papers, and the first thing to see is whether there are alterations or dirt, and those with obvious pollution fall off the list; Secondly, look at the handwriting, those who do not have neat handwriting will not enter. Officialdom clearly stipulates that it must be answered in the pavilion style. ”
Pavilion body, boxy, beautiful and elegant, bookstores all over the country have copybooks for sale, Zhou Xun is practicing pavilion body at this time.
"Each question has three equal points of inferior, good, and excellent, and if the inferior score exceeds two questions, it will not be recorded."
"If the idea of the article is not accurate, and the topic is not deep, you will lose points, and those who lose too many points will also fall off the list."
"Half of the county exams can be recorded, and only 12 out of 10 people have passed the government exam."
"Thousands of troops, squeezed across the single-plank bridge! It's hard, it's hard, it's hard! ”
A mouthful of white breath exhaled, endlessly, and it spewed out three feet away, like sword qi.
The bones around the body sounded, the fascia vibrate, and there was a faint whistling sound, like a violent wind.
On Zhou Xundi's face and the back of his hands, a layer of sweat quickly appeared, a layer of oil stains, and there was a swishing smell on his body.
After a long while, Zhou Xun threw the brush in his hand and put it into the pen stand, and the score was exactly right.
"At the age of nine, the martial arts build the foundation, boil the muscles and bones, and enter the holy level."
"I visualize the meaning of the mountain king, shake the bones, fascia, muscles, and make this thunderous and tiger roar, which can exclude magazines and adjust the body. Over time, you can even improve your martial arts talent and go further. ”
"It's a pity that it can't be used often, and it can be practiced once a month, but it is useless and hurts the vitality."
At this time, Zhou Xun was not surprised when he smelled the smell of his body, but he just called his own people, filled a tank of water, jumped in, and took a bath in the courtyard.
Washing away this layer of dirt, the whole person feels relaxed, the body and mind are clean, as if they have taken off the shackles, and they are much more comfortable.
Zhou Xun changed into a moon-white robe, dried his hair with a dry towel, and draped it behind his back.
The subordinates were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw Zhou Xun coming out, they stepped forward to salute and said.
"Childe, the master said that you should go to the study, I have something to ask."
Zhou Xun responded casually and went to Xun He's study.
"Teacher."
Xun Or saw him, his hair was not yet dry, and he asked with a smile.
"Going to the shower again?"
"Yes, when I practiced martial arts today, I was covered in oil, and my disciple couldn't bear the smell."
Xun or nodded.
"At this time, you just want to lay a solid foundation, you should not be in a hurry, while the bone meridians are not finalized now, and there is still a lot of room to play, at this time, tap a little more potential, and the future strength can be faster than two percent."
Although Xun Or is not proficient in martial arts, he still has eyesight, and Zhou Xun will naturally not refute it.
Then, Xun or said again.
"The Lin family went back to Jinling, and I heard that Lin Ruhai will be promoted soon, and the daughter of the Lin family also went to the ancestral house of Jinling."
Xun or paused, looked at Zhou Xun, and felt a little regretful,
"The old man originally intended to get married, but Lin Ruhai politely refused!"
"Why can't bear the separation of father and daughter, I am willing to accept the joy...... Who would ask her to pass through the door now, who is only eight years old? ”
"This is not looking down on you boy! It's also that my Xun face is not big enough! ”
"It's not all because you kid is white!"
"Humph! You kid want to fight for me in this exam, and you have to pass the test in this house! And get a good ranking! ”
"Among the schools, Nanshan Academy is the most, and non-top three students are not allowed to enroll. Du Ruyi, the head of the mountain, was the old man's classmate back then......"
Zhou Xun heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and replied.
"The disciple must be admitted to Nanshan Academy, and he will not be ashamed of the teacher."
"Hmmm......"
Xun or nodded.
"The old man knows that the daughter of the Lin family is a beauty, and the young man Mu Shaoai likes colors, and it is common for him to fall in love with her......"
Zhou Xun had a fever on his face.
At that time, when I saw the three rays of true water, I lost my former concentration and made all kinds of gaffes.
At this time, when I heard the teacher mention it, I naturally felt that all kinds of things were inappropriate.
"Fortunately, I am young and childish, and I can still ease my cheeks...... It will not be regarded as a disciple and ruin its reputation. ”
Zhou Xun secretly reflected.
“…… It's just that it can't be like this in the future, no matter how good the color of the woman is, it is not as good as morality, and the ugly girl without salt is the foundation of the king's industry. Those who have achieved great things should not be moved by beauty......"
This is to advise himself by the old thing that the king of Gu Chu married the ugly girl Wuyan and did not love beauty and morality.
The gist of it is that there is no good wife in the future, and he reads poetry and books in front of the window diligently......
There is also a faint dissatisfaction, you are my disciple, why did you see a little girl and be fascinated and behave at a loss? It's a shame.
Zhou Xun immediately bowed down.
"Disciple remember the teachings."
