Chapter 3: Past and Present Lives

After chatting about some interesting stories about the township exam, seeing that it was still early outside, Jiang Dawei asked Jiang Shang to leave to study, in Jiang Dawei's opinion, the township exam is a big thing, and Jiang Shang's time away from the review is naturally as long as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Shangli's parents died one after another, and Tian Mu was taken back by the clan, leaving only the property to Jiang Shangli, next to Jiang Dawei's house, Jiang Shangli was fostered in Jiang Dawei's house since he was a child.

It wasn't until after entering the village that Jiang Shangli insisted on moving back to the original house, but considering Jiang Shangli's age, Jiang Dawei opened up the courtyard walls of the two houses, and this road has been preserved until now, so Jiang Shangli returned to his house directly from the passage opened up in the side garden.

Jiang Shangli's house is not big, there are three houses when it is full, one is for sundries, one is used as the main hall to entertain guests, and the other is Jiang Shangli's bedroom and study, as for eating, Jiang Shangli is with Jiang Dawei's family.

In the small bedroom, there are books everywhere, at a glance, there are at least hundreds of them, and they are not arranged in a stack of stacks, on the contrary, these books look like they are placed at random, two or three at the head of the bed, three or four on the bed, two on the shelf, one there, and several different positions on the table, all of which are also placed with different books.

This is the book in the village school, after the death of the old master in the village, the village school was abandoned, originally these books were placed in the village school, and later when it was renovated, these books were temporarily shelved in Jiang Shangli's house.

After the school was repaired, because Jiang Shangli taught the Mengtong in the village to read and write from time to time, and his identity could be counted as half a gentleman, the clansmen put these books here by default.

Perhaps, such a placement is very messy for outsiders.

But for Jiang Shangli, he is used to this kind of placement, the position of each book is engraved in Jiang Shangli's mind, if it is placed one by one, it will make Jiang Shangli feel uncomfortable.

Skillfully hung the bamboo basket on the wall, took out the tea set from it, walked all the way, the tea brewed on the mountain had already been cooled, Jiang Shangli didn't care, drank the tea in two or three sips, and then walked to the table, put the teapot on the table, he didn't even have to look at it, picked up the book next to him, and lay on the recliner next to him.

After a while, the sound of reading loudly sounded.

"Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, and you will be happy to ......"

Inside the room, with the sound of reading, a layer of rich white talent gradually emerged from Jiang Shangli's body, like milk, enveloping his whole person, and this talent was several times richer than the talent attracted by the concerted efforts of all the students on the side of the Lanjiang River.

However, I am afraid that not many people in the world will know about such a wonder.

Earlier, Jiang Dawei, who heard the sound of reading, suddenly made a silent gesture to his son, this is the rule set by Jiang Dawei, as long as Jiang Shangli is studying, there is no noise in the house, and no noise is allowed.

Jiang Yue, who was sewing clothes in the boudoir, heard Jiang Shangli's reading, and her heart, which was originally a little throbbing and irritable, gradually calmed down, listening to the sound of reading with her ears sideways, a knowing smile appeared on her face, and the action of threading needles and threads in her hands was three points faster than just now.

"Seventeen Lang, your sixth brother is reading, listen carefully. Jiang Dawei hugged Jiang Hu to the chair, ignoring Jiang Hu's age when he was just three years old.

However, parents all over the world are like this, eager to let their children receive the best education and know the most knowledge.

After listening to the sound of reading for a while, Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan lowered their voices and discussed, Lin Yuan walked towards the backyard, there were home-grown vegetables in the backyard, and Jiang Dawei walked outside.

The small family is not wealthy, and in ordinary days, dinner is just porridge steamed buns, at most a few green vegetables are mixed cold, and occasionally some meat dishes are opened, which is already rare.

However, there is still half a month to go to the township test, and it may be far inferior to the level of Zhong Mingding's big family in terms of food, but Jiang Dawei and his wife discussed it, and they can't wronged Jiang Shangli.

So after discussion, Jiang Dawei decided to go to the river to catch a few fish, while Lin Yuan went to the backyard to pick vegetables and cook a hearty dinner in the evening.

As for Seventeen Lang, he is still young and will not run around, plus he is surrounded by villagers and villagers, Jiang Dawei and his wife are not worried that something will happen to the little guy.

Among the township schools, Xuezheng, who is one of the best in the entire Jiyuan Township, is like a Mengtong facing Mr. at this moment, quite restless, the whole ass is only slightly occupied, his eyes are drooping, looking at the ground, and he doesn't dare to look up.

There are two people sitting on the top seat, one is an old man of about fifty years old, his long hair has been slightly spotted with white stars, he is sitting on a chair in the middle at the moment, and next to him is a young girl, about twenty-eight years old, wearing a goose-yellow long dress, the skin is like congealed fat, white and flawless, it seems that he can pinch out the water.

"Little white fox?" After listening to Xuezheng's report, the girl imagined the appearance of a fox, and little stars began to appear in her eyes.

Seeing the girl's eagerness to try, the old man had a headache.

"Yes, it's just that it's not clear whether it's a demon or a spirit for the time being, and the lower official will send someone to investigate tomorrow. Xuezheng said with his head down.

The girl nodded noncommittally, then turned her head to look at the old man, her eyes turned twice, and said slyly: "Sir, for the sake of peace, did you take action to capture the fox?"

"Is it not after being captured, and then handed over to you to dispose of?" The old man was unmoved: "The real spiritual object is born of heaven and earth, how can it be so easy to capture? The old man can find demons, but he may not be able to find traces of spiritual objects." ”

The girl's face turned a rare red, and then she defended: "I didn't say that it was a spiritual thing, what if it was a demon? If it is a demon, won't it be a disaster?"

"At this time, how dare the monster appear?" The old man glanced at the girl angrily and said: "March, June, and September are all the test periods, and the great Confucians of the national dynasty are scattered all over the country to select students.

"Then sir, you won't help me......" The girl lowered her head and muttered a few words, and when she looked up again, there was already a little sparkle in her eyes: "Sir, my mother is reluctant to let me be wronged......"

The old man's face changed, and finally turned into a wry smile, and he shook his arm weakly: "That's it, I'm really afraid of your little trick...... Tomorrow I will go into the mountains with this old bone and look for you the little fox. ”

"I knew that the gentleman was the best!" said the girl, who had been crying just now, but now she could not see a trace of sadness, and reached out to hold the old man's arm.

The old man doted on the girl, then turned his head and said, "Wang Xuezheng, there is no need to hold a welcome banquet in the evening, just make some vegetarian food at night, and we can stay in the village tonight." ”

Throughout the conversation, Xuezheng's eyes kept falling on the ground, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Now that he heard the old man call himself, Xuezheng raised his head, and after his gaze wandered to the old man's chest, he no longer looked up, but lowered his gaze a little more, and said, "Everything is under the orders of Master Song......

For Jiang Shangli, this continent is both strange and familiar.

What is unfamiliar is the customs here, the history and humanities here, but what is familiar is the subset of the scriptures and history here, such as the "Analects" in the hand, which is also the twenty articles of Huanghuang, and the younger generations of the disciples of the sage Confucius record their words and deeds.

The saint here is not like the previous life, it is just the honor added to Confucius, who is the master of all ages, and it also means that Confucius has the same power as a saint.

In the dark, there seems to be an indescribable relationship between this place and the previous life, those who left a thick ink record in the history of the previous life, also appeared in this world, such as Mencius, such as Mozi, such as Han Feizi, everyone has also made dazzling achievements in this world, and everyone's talent can break through the sky.

Because of the existence of the great Confucians of all dynasties, they can correct people's hearts, punish evil spirits, drive away traitors, and raise sages, so the time of the existence of the dynasty here has been greatly continued.

From the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu two thousand years ago after the dethronement of the hundred schools and the exclusive respect of Confucianism, for a time Confucianism flourished, the world was very talented, Confucianism monopolized nine of them, and the other families together accounted for the remaining one.

However, this also bought a hidden danger for the future, history played a joke a thousand years ago, the Han Dynasty, which lasted for 1,600 years, finally because of the emperor's lack of morality, coupled with the struggle of ideas between various schools, the conflict occurred.

The behemoth Han Dynasty fell apart in an instant, the world was divided into three parts, various schools of thought appeared, and the literati and wise men attacked each other because of the different ideas they adhered to.

Jiang Shangli's familiar history has come to a complete end from here.

The Three Kingdoms annihilated one of them, the Chen Dynasty located in the middle of the Three Kingdoms suffered from the enemy, the first to be removed, leaving only two dynasties, one called Wei, one called Jin, the two countries divided the river and ruled, respectively absorbed the essence of the south and north of the Han Dynasty, so it is known as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, if you add the history of the Han Dynasty, Guozuo thousands of years is not too exaggerated.

However, when the Wei and Jin dynasties were ready to fight each other, the demon clan launched an attack on the human race, and the Wei and Jin dynasties, which were still in conflict, suddenly put aside their disputes and worked together to expel the demon clan.

The war lasted for a hundred years, and finally drove the demon clan out, and the human race and the demon clan also signed a treaty of non-attack on each other. After a hundred years of foreign wars, Baijia has finally understood a truth, the concept can be different, but the final road is the same.

As long as the people can govern the country in peace, why do you have to depose the hundred schools?

When they met, they smiled and grudged, and the struggle between the hundred families gave up, and the human race quickly regained stability.

Perhaps the two great powers of Wei and Jin wanted to retain a buffer zone, and the land of the original Chen State was not occupied by the two large countries, allowing it to develop into the current nine small states, and the Great Zhou was one of them.

History has changed, and likewise, culture has changed with it.

Today's Confucianism is no longer Confucianism in the traditional sense, but Confucianism that absorbs the essence of a hundred schools, but because Confucianism is powerful, in order to have a unified name, it is named Confucianism.

And because of the peace on the mainland, there is no change of dynasty as in the previous life, there is no social turmoil, and the pace of cultural change has slowed down.

For example, the poems here are more graceful and luxurious, just like the Wei and Jin dynasties in the previous life, and the celebrities are more straightforward, handsome, and affectionate.

Therefore, although there are also poems derived here, they are more light and graceful, and there are few passionate and surging works, not to mention the Tang and Song poems that are comparable to the peak of the world.

Many poems that can't be forgotten in my mind, as well as those Confucian theories developed in later generations, have not yet appeared in this world, and it is these indelible memories that remind Jiang Shangli from time to time that he is just a passerby.

Unconsciously, Jiang Shangli was a little stupid, and his voice gradually lowered when he was reading, and finally fell silent.

Chapter 4: Poor Change

Update time:2014-12-1911:39:44Word count: 3574

A soft sound of "squeak" woke Jiang Shangli from his trance, and when he turned his head, he saw that the tiger-headed Seventeen Lang was stretching

head, lying on the threshold, looked up at Jiang Shangli restlessly.

"Seventeen Lang, come here. Jiang Shangli beckoned to the little guy, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on the little guy's face, his dark eyes turned several times, and then stretched out two thin arms, waiting for Jiang Shangli to hug him.

Jiang Shangli put down the "Analects" in his hand, then got up and came to the door, wiped the corner of the little guy's mouth and drooled a lot, hugged the little guy and returned to the rattan chair, after putting the little guy away, the inexplicable thoughts just now almost dissipated.

Jiang Shangli laughed a little, picked up the half-read "Analects", and his subdued voice sounded: "Zi said, the advanced is in Lile, and the savages are also; If I use it, I will ...... from the advanced"

The talent quietly began to gather around Jiang Shangli, and the talent of heaven and earth not only has the effect of punishing evil and warding off evil, but also invisibly attaining wisdom, washing the body and mind, calming the mind, and achieving the state of unity between heaven and man.

“...... If you don't know your fate, you can't be a gentleman, you don't know etiquette, you can't stand up, you don't know what you say, you can't know people. Reading to the last paragraph of the book, the talent in Jiang Shangli's body was extremely dense at that moment, and most of the white talent finally poured into his body from Jiang Shangli's heavenly spirit cover, and a small part dissipated between heaven and earth.

Lying in Jiang Shangli's arms, the little guy was also moistened by a little talent, and he had already fallen asleep comfortably, and his saliva soaked Jiang Shangli's chest.

It seemed that half of the agreement was made, and when Jiang Shangli incorporated these talents into his body, and just wiped the saliva off the little guy's mouth, Lin Yuan's voice came over in the front hall: "Liulang, it's time to eat." ”

"Got it. Jiang Shangli put the book on the table next to him, it was exactly the same position as the one he picked up before, without the slightest change, obviously he knew this position well.

After waking up Jiang Hu, Jiang Shangli got up from the rattan chair and walked towards the front hall with Jiang Hu, who was still a little dazed.

As soon as he walked to the front hall, a fragrance with a faint fishy smell entered his nose, Jiang Hu, who was still sleepy-eyed just now, immediately widened his eyes, broke free of the small hand held by Jiang Shangli, and ran to the dining table with a smoke, staring at the porcelain basin that was buckled by the big bowl in the middle, which was about to reach out and pull.

"Seventeen Lang!" Jiang Dawei's slightly stunned voice sounded, Jiang Hu's little hand was immediately retracted, and he looked at his father timidly.

"Second uncle, why are you injured?" Jiang Shangli was very keen to find that Jiang Dawei's face was a little swollen and bruised, and his body was also a little wet.

"Out of the way, eat. Jiang Dawei waved his hand and said, and then called his wife and daughter to come out to eat, the small family is not as strict as the big family of Zhumen, and the family is used to eating around a table.

After each person shared a bowl of porridge, Lin Yuan lifted the porcelain basin on the table that was clasped with a bowl, and the dishes that exuded a light fragrance finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

Four palm-sized crucian carp were boiled into a clear soup, and there were some green onions floating on the soup noodles.

Looking at the crucian carp soup, and then looking at the abrasions on Jiang Dawei's face and the clothes that had not yet dried, how could Jiang Shangli not be able to guess what was going on.

It was clearly Jiang Dawei who went out fishing, and then accidentally slipped and was injured.

Although it is already March, the river water near dusk is still quite cool, thinking that Jiang Dawei still suffers a lot, thinking of this, Jiang Shangli feels a little warm in his heart.

After sitting around the table, Jiang Dawei, who was sitting above, stretched out his chopsticks and put one in the bowl in front of Jiang Yue, and then put one in front of Lin Yuan and Jiang Hu's mother and son, but the last two were all placed in the bowl in front of Jiang Shangli.

"Let's start eating. Jiang Dawei smiled with a smile on his face, put two green vegetables in a bowl, and drank it with thin soup.

Although he is small, he also knows that fish meat has thorns, Lin Yuan smiled and took the crucian carp in his son's hand, sat quietly in the position to remove the fish bones, and then fed it into his son's mouth.

As for Jiang Yue and Jiang Shangli, seeing that Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan's bowls were empty except for green vegetables, they couldn't eat them, especially Jiang Shangli, there were two fish in front of him.

"I've eaten them all, I've eaten them all. Jiang Dawei said with a smile, as for whether he actually ate it or not, Jiang Shangli could naturally guess it.

Jiang Yue didn't have Jiang Shangli's experience in two lives, and he was hungry, so when he heard Jiang Dawei's explanation, he didn't doubt him, so he lowered his head and began to eat big.

Jiang Shangli frowned slightly, there was still a feeling in his heart that he couldn't swallow, Jiang Dawei also saw a clue, he knew that this matter might not be hidden from Jiang Shangli.

knocked on the table, Jiang Dawei said with a tiger face: "Liulang, eat quickly, make up for it in the past few days, and when the time comes, you will be admitted to the show in one fell swoop, and even enter the ...... Raise people, come to give me the Jiang family's glorious threshold. ”

When it comes to showing talent and lifting people, Jiang Dawei's face is a little indescribably solemn: "A hundred years ago, the eighth master of Xijiang Village passed all the way and went directly to high school, but now the entire Xijiang Village is developed, and most of them have settled in the imperial capital." ”

Speaking of this, it is also an eternal pain in the hearts of everyone in Dongjiang Village, East and West Jiang Village is an ancestor, and later the family has a big business, it is divided into East Village and West Village, the development of the two villages is almost the same, but a hundred years ago, an ancestor of Xijiang Village was directly admitted to the Jinshi, and the entire Xijiang Village has received great benefits, and most of them have moved to the imperial capital to live.

The education and living standards of the imperial capital and Jiyuan Township are simply very different, just like the people of Xijiang Village, when they arrive in the imperial capital, even if they are not talented and can't read, but at least they have a broad horizon, and they will not be like the people of Dongjiang Village, who can only plant fields for a lifetime if they can't read.

Although Dongjiang Village was not able to move to the imperial capital, it also enjoyed some residual shade, such as the books in the village school, otherwise, how could there be hundreds of books in a poor and remote village?

In their bones, Dongjiang Village still has a deep envy of what happened to Xijiang Village, so they also hope that their juniors will also come out with such a talent, so that the fate of the entire village will change.

Just now, Jiang Dawei actually wanted to talk about Jinshi, but thinking of Jiang Shangli's mediocre performance all along, he changed his words to a person. Of course, in Jiang Dawei's heart, Jiang Shangli was already very remarkable if he was able to be admitted to Xiucai.

Feeling Jiang Dawei's eagerness for a moment, Jiang Shang was also a little touched, all along, he seemed to only care about living the ordinary life he liked, but he ignored the feelings of his relatives and ignored their thoughts, not everyone is willing to be dull.

"It's okay to lift people? Jinshi? Jiang Shang made a decision, thinking of this extraordinary world, his heart that has always been willing to be plain was also touched at that moment, he has always tried to treat himself as an ordinary person, but now that he thinks about it, this is simply another kind of depression on the heart!

If it continues to be so bland, maybe the whole person will be scrapped at any time.

Reading thousands of books, walking thousands of miles, and not seeing the customs of this world, isn't it in vain?

The knot in his heart was untied, Jiang Shangli felt that his body was full of vitality at this moment, he picked up a fish in front of him and put it directly in Jiang Hu's bowl, and said with a smile: "Okay, then take the exam first! Our seventeenth lang will not only take the exam in the future, but also take the jinshi exam!"

"Jinshi!Jinshi!" Jiang Hu was ignorant, he didn't understand this, he just thought this was interesting, so he slapped his face and screamed, hesitantly glanced at the fish in front of him, and finally pushed the bowl in front of Jiang Dawei, wiped his saliva, and said, "Dad, eat fish." ”

The little guy also saw that there was fish in front of Sister A, fish in front of the sixth brother, and fish in front of himself and his mother, but there was no fish in front of Jiang Dawei.

Jiang Dawei glanced at Jiang Shangli, then at Jiang Hu, and reached out to touch Jiang Hu's head: "Since it was given to you by Liulang, then you can eat it, Dad ate it just now." ”

Jiang Hu tilted his head, in his young heart, he still didn't doubt what Jiang Dawei said, so after being rejected by Jiang Dawei, he pulled the bowl back, then looked up at Lin Yuan, and said softly: "Mother, you eat fish." ”

"My mother has already eaten it. Lin Yuan smiled gently.

"Well, Sister Ah and the sixth brother have it, then I'll eat it. Jiang Hu said it seriously like a little adult, and then handed over the fish to his mother to pick the thorns.

"In ancient times, there was Kong Rong to let pears, and now there are seventeen lang to let fish, and he will become a beautiful talk one day. Jiang Shangli said with a smile, causing a burst of knowing laughter in the room.

Dinner ended in a warm atmosphere, Jiang Dawei sent Jiang Shang to leave to rest, Jiang Dawei also participated in the township examination when he was young, but he failed many times, and finally knew that he was not the material for studying, and he gave up the imperial examination because he was older.

But after all, he came over like this back then, Jiang Dawei can be regarded as an "experienced" person, of course he knows that it is very important to rest on time, as for the matter of reading at night with red sleeves, Jiang Dawei has not thought about it.

One is that his family is poor and has no money for lamp oil, and the other is that Jiang Shangli does not have the habit of reading at night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Dawei went out to work, and after the township examination, the students of Xiucai in the middle school had to leave for Yangcheng County, go to the county school for further study for two months, and then select the best ones to participate in the government examination in the whole school in June.

Of course, the scientific expedition has nothing to do with Jiang Dawei, Jiang Dawei was just recruited to build the road, because it is a "righteous act" related to the scientific expedition, so there is no salary, but at noon, Jiang Dawei will go to repair the road in the morning, and he can come back after lunch, and he will not delay the farm work.

Lin Yuan sewed clothes for Jiang Shangli in the house, Jiang Shangli participated in the scientific examination for the first time, and he couldn't wear old clothes, right? So Lin Yuan and Jiang Yue's mother and daughter took turns to work, and sewed out a new shirt for Jiang Shangli before the township test.

Jiang Yue carried a bamboo basket on her back and went outside to pick some fresh wild vegetables, while Jiang Shangli took Jiang Hu to stay on the beach by the river, using sand as paper and sticks as pens, while studying, teaching Jiang Hu some simple words.

It's not that Jiang Shangli is unwilling to teach with pen and paper, the reason is very simple, there is only one word, poor.

I didn't think it before, but after untying the knot at dinner last night, Jiang Shangli realized that what he had always thought was an ordinary life turned out to be so hard.

If it's a person, it's so bitter, it's okay to have fun in suffering, but there is a big family around him, who has the ability to make the family live well, but he deliberately hides it and lets the family live a hard life with him, which is no longer a joy in suffering, this is simply a problem of showing off his head.

Fortunately, half a month later, it will be the township test, and three and a half months later, it will be the government test.

If you pass the government examination, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver for learning the Tao alone, as the cost of settling in and for carriages and horses......

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangli, who had been a little evasive of scientific research in the past, had a raging flame in his eyes for the first time.

Chapter 5 Jun is not as good as a disciple

Update time: 2014-12-1911:41:09 Word Count: 2759

Upstream, a flat boat slowly descends along the current, and on it sits a person wearing a hat, a pot of wine and a flute, and there is nothing else.

At the end of the river, there is the Lan River, and then it will not take long to enter the mountains.

It was Song Moran who was about to go into the mountains to find the spirit fox.

Song Moran, the gray hair looks like an old man, in fact, there is a reason for the gray hair, in fact, Song Moran's real age is only forty years old.

Twenty years ago, Song Moran, who was still a beautiful son, went through the township test, the government test, the meeting test and the palace test, ranking among the top three in the palace test that year.

However, fifteen years ago, after Song Moran returned to the imperial capital from the frontier, he made a fortune overnight, and then resigned from all official positions, and was idle in Beijing, and one endowment was ten years. Usually I don't like to communicate with people, so I am called Mo Ran Gongzi, one name is ten years, everyone mentions him as Song Moran Bachelor, and even over time, even his life has been forgotten.

Five years ago, the first emperor collapsed, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Song Moran entered the court as an official again, but he only wanted to be an idle official, so he taught Taixue.

Now that the township test is imminent, the Confucian scholars in the Taixue of the National Dynasty have come out of the imperial capital to supervise the scientific examinations in various places on behalf of the national dynasty to show justice, and Song Moran is responsible for Dengzhou Mansion.

Yangcheng County, but one of the 30 counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture, Jiyuan Township is only the township with the lowest education level in the eighteen townships of Yangcheng County, and there has only been one Jinshi in Yangcheng County in the past two hundred years, which is the Jinshi in the examination of Xijiang Village a hundred years ago.

It is precisely for this reason that Song Moran came to Yangcheng County curiously, wanting to explore what kind of environment can cultivate a Jinshi.

That's why Song Moran came to Jiyuan Township, otherwise, how could he, a bachelor who teaches Taixue, come to Jiyuan Township, a poor and remote place?

It is also a coincidence that when Song Moran came to Jiyuan Township, he didn't have a few words with Xuezheng, Li Rong rushed to the township with two or three students, and told Xuezheng about the white fox, which is why Song Moran entered the mountain alone.

Song Moran came out this time to find the spirit fox, not to travel to visit the mountains like Li Rong and them did yesterday, so Song Moran chose a convenient and fast waterway.

After all, it is only a tributary of the Lanjiang River, and it is not the real Lanjiang River.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Song Moran raised his head and forgot to glance at the rising sun in the east, and then stretched out his hand to pull the hat to shade the sun, and inadvertently, a figure broke into his eyes.

As pure as in memory, carrying a bamboo basket, picking wild vegetables by the river, meeting in the mountains and flowers, now 20 years have passed, the beauty of the past is no longer there, but I did not expect that on the bank of this nameless river, the scene of the first encounter would be so perfect reproduction.

But it's a pity that Si Ren is no longer there, even if the scene is similar, he can't go back to the thin time of 20 years ago, and he is not the Song Jinshi who was in the scenery back then.

After being stunned for a moment, Song Moran regained his clarity, looking at the figure on the riverside that overlapped with his memory, and the flute in his hand didn't know when it had been put to his mouth.

The sound of the flute was originally clear, but at this moment, Song Moran blew out a kind of tactful thoughts, as if carved into his bones, floating on the bank of this nameless river.

Talent escaped from between heaven and earth, wrapped around Song Moran's flute, and with the sound of the weeping flute, two milky white birds were conjured, snuggling together, occasionally making a chirp that Jiang Yue had never heard, with the flute music.

Downstream, Jiang Shangli, who was practicing calligraphy on the beach, suddenly stopped the movements in his hand when the sound of the flute came, and listened to the beginning of the rhyme, although he did not see the scene of Song Moran's talent in his hands, but it did not affect his recognition of this song.

Gently tapping the branch in his hand, Jiang Shangli's low chanting sounded.

"There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it.

I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.

The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world.

Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.

The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt.

When to see Xu Xi, comfort me hesitating.

......”

A song of the phoenix, blowing out Sima Xiangru's love for Zhuo Wenjun, how many love affairs, has been praised by people for thousands of years, but in Jiyuan Township, Jiang Shangli heard such a moving song for the first time.

After a long time, the sound of the flute ended, and the two birds on Song Moran's flute chirped in unison, and then flew towards the sky together, flying around Song Moran three times, and then turned into talent and dissipated between heaven and earth.

hugged his fist at the woman who had already listened to it a little stupidly on the shore, and Song Moran sat back on the boat, but the scene from twenty years ago echoed in his mind.

The young man was proud, met a woman, knew each other, but was sent to the edge of the border town, and when he came back, the thing was no longer a person, leaving two lines of tears into nothing.

The boat quietly broke in and left quietly, Jiang Yue on the shore had not come back to her senses, she just thought that this song was very good, but she felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

Jiang Yue doesn't read much, so she doesn't know how to describe it with sad and complaining, and she doesn't even know what the name of this piece is, but she knows that this piece is excellent.

Once, Jiang Yue had also heard Li Rong play the flute, but compared to the song just now, the difference is like one in the sky and one on the ground, not to mention that like Song Moran, the song attracts talent and transforms into a physical form.

After Jiang Yue came back to her senses, she realized that she was immersed in the sound of the flute just now, and she didn't remember what the flute hat-playing guest looked like, the only thing she remembered was the clear eyes, even if she was far away, Jiang Yue also saw those eyes.

Picking a few wild vegetables in a bit of a distraction, Jiang Yue bit her lip, then lifted the bamboo basket and walked downstream.

Downstream, Jiang Shangli is still practicing calligraphy, his movements are smooth and meticulous.

When Song Moran passed by just now, Jiang Shangli didn't speak, but just hugged his fist at Xiaozhou, and thanked Song Moran for the enjoyment he brought to his ears.

Song Moran also hugged his fists and returned the salute, like a reward for his confidant, and the two of them never said a word, not even a word.

It's hard to know the sound, why do you have to recognize each other when you meet?

Therefore, after Song Moran left, Jiang Shangli felt a lingering rhyme in the air that seemed to have not yet dissipated, and continued to start walking on the beach.

The sound of "rustling" sounded, and Jiang Yue returned.

Jiang Hu trotted towards Jiang Yue head-on, but Jiang Shang's movements from holding the branches did not stop, still writing seriously, stroke by stroke.

To appease the little guy, Jiang Yue walked behind Jiang Shangli, watched Jiang Shangli finish writing a sentence, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, do you know how to play the flute?"

"Huh?" Jiang Shangli's movements paused for a moment, a little puzzled.

"There was a person playing the flute in front of me just now, and he played it very well, and I also want to learn to play ......" Jiang Yue said with a hint of excitement.

"Click", the wooden stick in Jiang Shangli's hand was broken, and Jiang Yue's voice stopped abruptly, looking at Jiang Shangli, who had a somewhat ugly face, and didn't know what was going on.

"You mean, the man on the boat just now was playing a tune to you?" Jiang Shangli frowned and said.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Jiang Yue asked a little strangely, there shouldn't be a problem with such a beautiful tune.

Of course there is a problem! No problem is strange!

Back then, Sima Xiangru pursued Zhuo Wenjun with "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and later generations arranged the music according to this matter, which has been passed down to this day, this song is a song used to confess, if it is a young talent who plays the song, it is okay, Jiang Shangli will think that this is the story of a talented and beautiful woman, but the person who plays the song is a little old man who looks fifty or sixty, older than Jiang Dawei!

Songs are chanted, poems are loved, and the tunes are the same, "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is so good, if you want to say that the little old man had no other thoughts at that time, he wouldn't believe it when he killed Jiang Shangli.

This is indeed the case, but Song Moran is just thinking about the past, not as dirty as Jiang Shangli thought.

Jiang Shangli didn't know that Song Moran was just touching the scene, and Song Moran was playing a tune in front of Jiang Yue, Jiang Shangli immediately decided that Song Moran was careful about Jiang Yue.

"Dengtuzi!" Jiang Shangli squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then thought of Song Moran's age, and suddenly felt that these words were too elegant to scold Song Moran, and immediately followed in his mouth: "You are not as good as Dengtuzi!

Chapter 6 Township Examination Begins

Some of them were still angry and led Jiang Yue and Seventeen Lang towards home, and on the way, Jiang Shangli told Jiang Yue about the scene of meeting Song Moran.

This scene is very good, just as it was said a few years later, when the famous men and young talents of the dynasty met for the first time by the river, and they were speechless, but there was a spiritual exchange......

Well, now that I think that the old guy may be thinking about his sister-in-law, although the story in Jiang Shangli's words remains original, it inadvertently exudes a certain malice.

For example, that guy has a dirty face and a hateful face, and for example, that guy is an out-and-out old man, and he can't walk anymore......

It wasn't until he got home that Jiang Shangli finally stopped chattering, just talk about things between brothers and sisters on the road, there is no need to talk about it at home.

Jiang Yue lowered her head all the way, letting Jiang Shangli make noise in her ears, and now that she was home, she put the bamboo basket on the ground, looked at Jiang Shangli and said: "Brother, you have said more in one day today than in the past year, it seems that you really care about me, brother, thank you, brother." ”

After saying something, Jiang Shang said that there was some warmth in the centrifugation, although most of him was very silent, but people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, whose heart is not made of meat?

Now Jiang Yue's words really moved Jiang Shangli a little, but Jiang Yue's next words directly made Jiang Shangli jump up with the green tendons on his head.

"But, brother, I didn't see what he looked like, but I saw two birds...... Oh, it's the phoenix hovering above his flute, which means that he is really talented......" Jiang Yue recalled that scene, and there were still little stars in her eyes: "Since he is talented, age is not a problem......"

Because of the accumulation of the understanding of the subset of classics and history and their own talents, the body can often be washed by the talents of heaven and earth, and even sometimes break through, which can cause the empowerment of talents, which makes the life of Confucians of famous scholars get a lot of continuity.

Therefore, in the national dynasty, if a sixty-year-old Confucian scholar marries a sixteen-year-old yellow flower girl, it is not a rare thing.

But for people like Jiang Shangli, the concept of his previous life still has a great influence on him, and he is quite resistant to the old and the young, especially his own sister-in-law has a tendency to become the protagonist in it.

"What's wrong with being talented? Talent can represent everything?" Jiang Shangli stared at Jiang Yue, but found that Jiang Yue was also not to be outdone, glaring back at himself: "Of course being talented is excellent!"

The argument between the two people tended to escalate, and there was a little spark between the words, Jiang Hu had already noticed that something was wrong, and ran to the house to call his mother out.

Seeing Lin Yuan come out, Jiang Shangli and Jiang Yue stopped in unison, seeing that Jiang Shangli's face was still a little ugly, Jiang Yue's eyes were a little red, and she muttered: "What is fierce?! It's not good for me at all!"

"Liulang, you go to review your homework first, and you will have to take the township test in a few days. Lin Yuan didn't ask the reason, but first broke Jiang Shangli away, Jiang Shangli answered, and walked towards the backyard, but after walking through the corner of the side door, he stopped.

It's not that Jiang Shangli is interested in eavesdropping on conversations, but that Jiang Shangli really wants to find out what his sister thinks.

"Yue'er, your sixth brother is about to take the township test, no matter what, you shouldn't have an argument with him at this time and make him unhappy, you know?" After Jiang Shang left, Lin Yuan's face fell, and when he saw Jiang Yue nodding aggrievedly, his face looked a lot better, and said, "Say, what's going on?"

Jiang Yue told the matter from beginning to end, and after Lin Yuan listened to it, he nodded noncommittally, but did not comment on this matter, but asked: "As Liulang said, Yue'er, why do you attach so much importance to talent?"

Not only the national dynasty, but even several other countries attach great importance to talent, but there is no such thing as Jiang Yue, who only looks at talent and does not pay attention to others.

Li Rong was like this in the past, and now the old man who appears by chance is also like this, in Lin Yuan's opinion, these two are not good matches, but his daughter thinks it is very good.

In the corner, Jiang Shangli's ears stood up.

"Because ......" Jiang Yue hesitated a little when she spoke, and hesitated for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said in one breath: "Because they are talented, if Seventeen Lang and they can be taught by them personally, the effect will definitely be very small, maybe Dongjiang Village will come out and exit Jinshi in the future!"

Admitted to the Jinshi, this is the idea in the hearts of the whole people, people strive for a breath of Buddha to receive a pillar of incense, the same ancestor, there is no reason that Dongjiang Village is not as good as Xijiang Village.

It is this simple idea that is the reason why so many people in Dongjiang Village have always been keen on education.

In the corner, Jiang Shangli's face became a little complicated, moved, guilty, and finally grinded his teeth fiercely and walked towards the back.

Jinshi, although he has the experience of his previous life, but he is still not absolutely sure, after all, so many talented students in the national dynasty have Confucian teaching, and only 100 Jinshi are admitted every three years, even if he is not afraid to say that he can be in the top 100.

The only thing you can do is to read and make yourself strong, which is fundamental!

I'm afraid that even Jiang Dawei and Jiang Yue don't know, if it weren't for them, maybe there would be an extra Xiucai in Dongjiang Village, a teacher who doesn't worship officials, but it's only to this point.

But it is precisely because of them that a guy who wanted to live a dull life finally became ruthless in his heart, and his goal has changed from a showman who eats and waits for death to a jinshi who is a famous person in the country.

In the main hall, Lin Yuan looked at Jiang Yue, whose eyes were a little red, sighed, and didn't say anything about this matter after all: "Yue'er, go and sew clothes for your sixth brother, try it soon." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Yue's eyes looked at her toes, and she didn't dare to raise her head, and walked towards her boudoir.

At this moment, the sound of reading in the backyard sounded, and there was more of an indescribable flavor than before, more excited, and more vibrant.

"Mencius saw King Hui of Liang. The king said......"

"Hey, my brother seems to have changed...... Jiang Yue tilted her head and listened for a while, but in the end she didn't hear too much, thinking about the township test in a few days, she hurried to the boudoir to make clothes.

In the bedroom and study, Jiang Shangli sat on the chair, without the hangers he used to lie on his side, with a solemn face, and the talents around him were like sticky milk, surrounding him impenetrable.

Reading with a serious attitude, the surrounding talents seem to resonate together, and the book is read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident.

In a trance, Jiang Shangli had a deeper understanding of the scriptures, and even in his mind and body, he was eager to try it, and he had the urge to write wildly.

It's a pity that there is no pen.

Jiang Shangli had no choice but to suppress this feeling.

As the days passed, it seemed that there had been some changes, and the day of the township test was finally coming.

Jiang Hu felt this the most, Jiang Shangli only taught him one word when he used to teach him every day, but now it has risen to four words in a short sentence, and if he can't write it, he will be beaten, and he will be beaten again when he cries and complains to his mother......

The day before the township examination, the students have to arrive at the township school, generally arrive in the afternoon, rest for the night, and start the first step of the scientific examination on the second day--- the township examination.

In the afternoon, Jiang Shangli was dressed in a brand-new green shirt, and after the ancestral temple sacrifice was over, he accompanied the three partners in the clan who also participated in the township test to the accompaniment of the squeaky ox cart in the clan, and rushed towards the township school.

At the entrance of the village, not only Jiang Dawei's family, but almost everyone in the village gathered there, looking at the four juniors of this exam with hope.

Of course, when they arrived at the entrance of the village, the ox cart naturally stopped, and the four students came down to say goodbye to their relatives and at the same time accept the blessings of the clansmen, which is an annual routine.

"Rokuro, take the test well. On this occasion, Jiang Dawei just looked at Jiang Shangli eagerly, patted Jiang Shangli on the shoulder with his big hand, said a word, and retreated to the back.

Lin Yuan glanced at Jiang Dawei complainingly, then stretched out his hand, smoothed Jiang Shangli's somewhat wrinkled green shirt, and retreated behind Jiang Dawei.

"Sixth brother, I wish the flag a victory!" "Usually, Jiang Yue has always called Jiang Shangli as his brother, but in this case, he can only use the sixth brother.

"Sixth brother, I also wish you a successful start and a good talent in the examination. Jiang Hu said with a sweet smile, the smile was definitely from the heart, because Jiang Hu knew that Jiang Shangli was three days away from the first exam, that is, in these three days, no one cared about him.

"Hmm. Jiang Shangli nodded, glanced at Jiang Hu, took out a bamboo board from the long sleeves of his shirt, handed it to Jiang Yue, and said: "In the past three days of my township test, Seventeen Lang's homework will be taught by Yue'er, four words a day, and this bamboo board is the punishment for not studying diligently." ”

Jiang Hu looked at Jiang Shangli, and then looked at Jiang Yue, who couldn't help nodding, and finally landed on the bamboo board, thinking that he had to be hit by the board for three days, the joy just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he cried out.

Jiang Shang smiled heartily, rubbed Jiang Hu's little head, and then returned to the ox cart.

The sound of squeaking sounded, and in the shouting of the coachman, the ox cart carried the hope of the four students and the people of the village, and rushed towards the village school.

Chapter 7 is particularly hateful to the Book Pavilion

Update time: 2014-12-1911:43:07 Word Count: 3440

After a short time, he came to the village school.

The township test was held in the township school, so in the afternoon, in front of the township school, a lot of people had gathered, all of whom came to Sili and eight townships to send the test.

Xuezheng stood at the front with a smile, and whenever the student was in his luggage, he would gently encourage him.

However, this is also extremely normal, Xuezheng's position is to educate the township, and generally speaking, the standard of assessment is the student's examination level.

Taking the national dynasty as an example, officials in various localities are evaluated every three years, and they are divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D, which are related to the appointment and promotion of officials.

If there are people who have been selected in the township examination, they can only say that they have done a good job in Xuezheng, and if there is no serious mistake during their tenure, they will not be evaluated by Bing Ding; if they are promoted in the prefectural examination, then Xuezheng's evaluation is generally B; if there are students who have passed the Gongshi examination or even a higher level of Jinshi, Xuezheng can get a first-class evaluation.

Therefore, when facing these students, the smile on Xuezheng's face is sincere, pure, and without a trace of distraction......

Xuezheng really hopes that these students will do well in the exam, so when every student passes by, Xuezheng's face is smiling like a wrinkle and is about to squeeze into a flower, especially those who are a little famous in Sili and Eight Townships, Xuezheng likes it even more, that is the hope of his second-class assessment.

As for the first class, Xuezheng never thought that in the past hundred years in Jiyuan Township, there have been three tributes, and there are really no Jinshi.

"Liulang, you are in the seventeenth examination room in District D, I am in District B, I wish the title of the gold list!" The students from the same village who came with him blessed, and then said a little nervously: "On weekdays, Xiangxue Middle School is a little bit of a favor, go and thank you for your brother first, and Liulang can enter by himself." ”

Although only the palace test list is known as the gold list, but in normal times, every time there is a scientific examination, this kind of thing is indeed the most suitable situation.

The other three students of the same nationality are all studying in the township school, and it is natural for them to be familiar with each other in front of the school.

"I know, the fourth brother can arrange it himself. Jiang Shangli nodded, then said goodbye to the three brothers in the clan, came to the end of the line to enter the examination room, and entered the hall in order.

In a similar exam scene, although Jiang Shangli has no experience in this life, he has experienced a lot in his previous life, so he is not as good as ordinary students, but stands quietly at the end of the line.

"Hey, this kid is actually here?" On the second floor of the highest library in the township, wherever his eyes went, when he touched Jiang Shangli, Song Moran said with some surprise.

Most of the township school buildings are one-storey, and only the book pavilion with the book collection is two floors, so sitting on the book pavilion, the scene of the students queuing up to enter the house in front of him can be seen at a glance, and Song Moran naturally saw Jiang Shangli.

However, after being surprised, thinking of Jiang Shangli's age, Song Moran was a little relieved, fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown children are usually sent over to participate in the scientific examination.

"Sir, who are you talking about?" The girl changed her clothes today, with a crescent white dress and a well-behaved little fox in her arms, after hearing Song Moran's words, she looked ahead curiously, and asked with a wave of eyes.

"A young man who met by chance. Song Moran replied, but the figure of the woman by the river suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he had already passed the years of youth and profligacy, but he didn't expect that his mood of being calm for ten years would fluctuate because of an ordinary woman, which is really strange!

"Oh. The girl answered, then walked to the window, looked at the bustling crowd below, and then asked, "Sir, is that Tsing Yi student?"

Below, there are those who are nervous and looking around, some are full of confidence, some are depressed, and some are talking with a smile on their faces......

The world is full of variety, and it is a glimpse of it.

Only the green clothes stood quietly between heaven and earth.

After a moment, the girl's eyes lit up a little.

The girl has seen too many young talents in the imperial capital, and she can see that this kind of stillness is not the stillness of being stunned by reading, but a kind of stillness from the heart, a kind of stillness with agility.

"I didn't expect to meet this kind of person in this small place, no wonder Mr. You want to come to this poor country in Jiyuan Township, it's a bit interesting. The girl stretched out her hand and gently touched the little white fox's head twice, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and said in a consultative tone: "Sir, do you want to summon him into the mansion?"

"Yijin, don't mess around. Song Moran shook his head slightly, and said dotingly: "This is a scientific expedition, don't make trouble." ”

The girl's name is Yijin, surnamed Chen, and there are few people in the imperial capital who have not heard of her name.

"Hmm. Chen Yijin responded, but there was still a light called interest in his eyes, which made Song Moran smile bitterly.

At this time, outside the originally peaceful township school, there was a trace of noise.

"Look, the Li family's car is here. I don't know whose voice sounded first, and there was a slight discussion around them, and then silence returned, and the eyes of many students fell on the slowly approaching carriage.

The only students who can be called the Li family by default are Li Rong's family, and only Li Rong's family, and the other students, even if they are surnamed Li, do not have Li Rongzhong's name, and they can't afford to be called like the Li family.

For example, the eighth master of Xijiang Village, after Zhongjinshi, once returned to his hometown, and when he talked with the local parents, he called himself the Jiyuan Jiang family, and since then, the Jiyuan Jiang family refers to the eighth master, and Dongjiang Village can only be regarded as a branch.

This is the effect of the name of the text, because the name is big, so it can be directly called a certain family, others know that this is a special reference, Li Rong has not yet taken the scientific examination, so it is called the Li family, if one day you are admitted to the Jinshi, you can add the name of the place in front of the home, call it the Jiyuan Li family.

Now, he can only be called the Li family, because he is not qualified for the time being.

The carriage gradually approached, and when it was a hundred steps away from Xiangxue, the carriage stopped, and then the slightly chubby Li Rong stepped down from the carriage.

Behind him was his father, covered in fat, walking up and swinging, looking as if he was about to fall off his body.

After seeing Xuezheng, Father Li's eyes narrowed into mung bean eyes, and a trace of a smile barely squeezed out of his round face, stretched out his chubby hand, and greeted Xuezheng affectionately: "Lord Xuezheng, my family Li Rong has come to participate in the township test." ”

"Very good! In this scientific examination, Li Rong's name should be on the list. Xuezheng said that he had tried Li Rong's talent, and there was no problem with showing talent, and he was somewhat sure of it, but as for Gongshi, it depended on luck.

"Of course, our family's Li Rong's talent is not exaggerated, needless to say, everyone knows it. Father Li said proudly, Li Rong next to him puffed out his chest and looked confident, or was he arrogant?

Xuezheng didn't have the heart to bother Father Li too much, and after a perfunctory sentence, he encouraged Li Rong affectionately, and then personally took Li Rong to the examination room in Area A.

There are 200 people in the township examination, 20 examination rooms in District A, 30 rooms in District B, 50 rooms in District C, and 100 rooms in District D.

"It's mud and sand, and it's a mixture. Song Moran glanced at Jiang Shangli, and then at Li Rong, who was surrounded by the crowd, and sighed, as for who is the fish and the dragon, Song Moran did not say it directly, but Chen Yijin could also hear it.

It is said that Song Moran was one of the top three in Jinshi back then, and some talented people who were famous in the countryside were really unsightly to him.

Chen Yijin covered his mouth and grinned, even the little white fox's mouth grinned.

When the silence returned below, Song Moran held a scroll of scriptures in his hand, stood by the window, and watched the many students below enter in turn, which was also a rare peace.

"Sir, I'll make you a cup of tea. Chen Yijin's eyes rolled twice, then he smiled, shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be better to have half a book of poetry and a cup of tea?"

"Yes. Song smiled silently and bowed slightly, Chen Yijin hugged the little fox and walked towards the book.

The inspection of the township examination is actually not strict, and the sergeant guarding the door is just to check the person, as for the entrainment of cheating, since the scientific examination of the National Dynasty, there have been Confucian questions before and after each examination, so I have not heard of anyone cheating successfully.

After receiving the note with the examination room number, Jiang Shangli walked towards the Ding District, but as soon as he turned the corner, Jiang Shangli suddenly found that there was a woman standing in the middle of the road in front of him, with a beautiful face and a swaggering figure, but it was a rare beauty.

However, this is the township test, how can a woman enter the township school?

Jiang Shangli recognized it, this little fox was the one he met half a month ago, and for some reason he was staying in the woman's arms now, but these had nothing to do with him after all, and he was just stunned, Jiang Shangli walked towards Chen Yijin.

Closer, closer, closer...... Then, Jiang Shangli walked past Chen Yijin.

The sound of da-da's steps was the same as before, there was no disorder at all, Chen Yijin was messy in the wind, and she had never been so neglected.

The rare little daughter stomped her feet, and the next moment, Chen Yijin turned around, looked at Jiang Shang's figure four or five steps away, and immediately shouted: "Hey, the wood in front, stop!"

There were only Jiang Shangli and Chen Yijin on the path, Jiang Shangli hesitated, but stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Yijin, took two steps back, and asked, "Girl, what's the matter?"

Chen Yijin's eyes rolled, and he squeezed out a smile: "Excuse me, I'm lost, how can I get to the Library?"

Jiang Shangli finally had a slight expression on Gu Jing Bubo's face, glanced at Chen Yijin strangely, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the attic less than ten steps behind Chen Yijin: "Isn't that the Book Pavilion?"

Chen Yijin was stunned, she was only looking for a topic, but she forgot one thing, the location of the book pavilion was next to her.

Chen Yijin looked at Jiang Shangli's strange face, and then looked at the two big words "Book Pavilion" in the middle of the attic next to him, and in an instant, his face was covered with redness.

This kind of result is really embarrassing.

The atmosphere froze suddenly, and Chen Yijin didn't know how to speak for a while, neither to go, nor to go.

Jiang Shangli chuckled, like a spring breeze blowing through the frozen atmosphere of ice, and asked, "If the girl is okay, let me go to the examination room." ”

"Hmm...... Oh...... It's okay. Chen Yijin stumbled, but stood in place and did not move.

After Jiang Shangli left, Chen Yijin's mood finally returned to normal, only to find out that she hadn't inquired about Jiang Shangli's name yet, didn't she come down just to get to know Jiang Shangli?

However, none of this is important, and now, for Chen Yijin, there are more important things.

"Squeak, go and smash that plaque for me. Chen Yijin looked at the plaque not far away with an angry face, the word "Library", how hateful it is.

Chapter 8: Three Righteous Questions

Update time: 2014-12-1911:44:00 Word Count: 3397

I arrived at the township school the day before the township test, just to let the students get familiar with the environment.

After hundreds of years of development, the imperial examination system has also become mature, and now the content of the imperial examination has three main contents, one is the scriptures, the second is the policy theory, and the third is the poetry.

The righteous person, the reason, the reason and the neglect, also known as the righteousness, the righteousness occupies a very important role in the imperial examination, it can be said that a Confucian must pass the imperial examination.

The so-called scriptures, in the Han Dynasty, were not just a few dogmas in the scriptures, but were closely related to realpolitik, and were the standard for judging whether political measures were appropriate.

However, after the decline and even the demise of the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, the scriptures and meanings also have two meanings, one introduces the ins and outs of the ritual system and its significance, such as the "Guanyi", "Sacrificial Righteousness" and "Shooting Righteousness" contained in the "Book of Rites";

At present, the scriptures in the imperial examination mainly assess the content of the scriptures, and as for inquiring about current affairs, commenting on the past and the present, and discussing the hundred schools of thought, it is the content of the policy examination. In the imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the policy theory and the scriptures were actually together, but they were later refined.

In short, the focus of the assessment of scripture and policy is different, and as for poetry, it is completely a platform for personal talent display.

If a scholar wants to participate in the scientific examination, the strategy can be bad, and the poetry can not be good, after all, these two items are related to personal vision and talent, but they must be familiar with the scriptures.

After all, there are still relatively few Confucian scholars who are amazing and brilliant in strategy and poetry, and Confucian scholars who are generally familiar with the scriptures and meanings account for the vast majority of readers.

At the beginning, the imperial examination system first wrote the scriptures, that is, first did some fill-in-the-blank questions of the Confucian classics, and then took an oral examination, asking ten questions about righteousness and answering three questions about current affairs.

Later, after hundreds of years of development, these assessment contents were either newly interpreted or merged with other contents to form the current three major contents of scripture and meaning, policy and poetry.

From the township examination, to the subsequent government examination, and even the subsequent examination and palace examination, it is basically the content of these three aspects of assessment, but the difficulty has increased.

In the township examination, the "Yi", "Poems", "Shu", "Zhou Li", and "Book of Rites" are assessed, as well as the "Analects" and "Mencius", which are called the Five Classics, while the government examination is assessed "Yi", "Shu", "Poems", "Spring and Autumn", "Rites", "Rites", "Zhou Li", "Analects", and "Mencius" Nine Classics.

The township test is only a test of the scriptures, and the government test is also a general test.

That is to say, the township examination completely assesses the candidate's memorization of scriptures and commentaries, so even if the talent of ordinary people is true, as long as they have read books for more than ten or twenty years, it is still possible to be admitted to a show.

As for the government examination, there are other contents added, the so-called righteousness, is to first list the meaning of the commentary, then quote the different opinions, and finally cut off their own will, that is to say, the candidate also needs to organize the content of the memorization when answering the question, and cannot copy the scriptures.

Citing the different interpretations of the Confucian scholars, the test taker must finally judge the meaning of the scriptures for himself, which increases the difficulty of the scientific examination.

The Confucianism here does not only refer to saints like Confucius and Mencius, but also the great Confucianism that appeared in the national dynasty for hundreds of years, and everyone has a different understanding of the Confucian classics, so it is normal to have factions, so it is natural to form various schools.

It is precisely because of this that the difficulty of the government test is much more difficult than the township test, and it is not so easy to take the test.

As for the subsequent examination, it is actually the most difficult one, after all, after the examination, the students can participate in the palace examination, and the palace examination is because it is the test of many Confucians and emperors of the dynasty on the spot, so the best students must be screened out, otherwise it will not be recognized by the great Confucians of the dynasty.

Therefore, the content of the examination is much more difficult than the palace examination, the content of the assessment has not only been the previous five classics, nine classics, a total of 14 works of the sages and Huanghuang, "Yi", "book", "poem", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Rites", "Rites", "Zhou Li", "Analects", "Mencius", "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography", "Filial Piety Sutra", "The Mean", plus ten Confucian scriptures after the Wei and Jin dynasties, a total of 24 books.

In addition, because after the Wei and Jin dynasties, there will be some cold questions from hundreds of schools in the examination, so the examination is the most difficult among the scientific examinations, and there is no one.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is divided into three major roads, 25 provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, 30 provinces in the Central Plains, and 18 provinces in the northwest.

As for the lifting of people, it is maintained at about 6,000 every year, and about 20,000 people participate in the examination every three years.

Don't look at the number so big, but on average, the number of people admitted to each province each year is less than 100.

Jiang Shangli walked in front of the No. 17 examination room in Ding District, and posted a small note on it, which read, "Jiang Shangli, a student from Jiyuan Township, Yangcheng County, Jiangnan Xuedao, Dengzhou Academy", and a large seal of "Jiyuan Township Xuezheng" was stamped below.

After reading it three times and checking that it was correct, Jiang Shangli walked into the examination room.

There is a bed in the examination room, and on the outside is a desk for the exam, facing the passage, so that students can walk back and forth.

Jiang Shangli took out the food in the basket and put it on the bed, then picked up the book at the bottom of the basket, sat on the examination table, and read it silently.

As long as they are not reading books during the examination process, who cares? Including food, the township school will also provide it, but some students are willing to bring food from home, and the imperial examination is also forbidden.

There are also pen, ink, paper and inkstone for scientific research, all of which are provided by the township school, but some students dislike the quality of these things is not good, in addition to the scientific examination answer paper, including straw paper, pen inkstone inkstone, are brought from home.

Such students are not absent, such as Li Rong, but the scientific examination of the national dynasty does not help these.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and there were already soldiers calling for the students to eat, Jiang Shangli put down the book, rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little sour, and walked outside.

Previously, Jiang Shangli had made an appointment with the three members of the same clan to go to dinner together.

After dinner, Jiang Shangli returned to the examination room, and fell asleep with a thin quilt, but there were still students around who were studying with candles, and the township test did not provide candles, but it was not against the students bringing their own candles.

Such conditions can be said to be quite superior, but if you think that the imperial examination is lenient and easy to cheat, it is a big mistake.

On the second day, half an hour after breakfast, the students of the township examination lined up in several queues and stood in front of the library, but what puzzled the students was that the plaque on the library was gone.

However, they all came to participate in the township test, but no one asked much.

Not long after, Xuezheng and Song Moran walked out of the library, and when they saw Song Moran, Jiang Shangli's eyes instantly widened, and his face was full of strange looks, why is this old ** also here?

Song Moran also saw Jiang Shangli, but he was like a stranger, without a trace of expression on his face, but his gaze stayed on Jiang Shangli's face a little more.

"Bachelor Song, there are 200 students in Jiyuan Township, except for 13 students who are absent from the exam, the other 187 are all here, and you will preside over it today. Xuezheng excused himself and said, in previous years, Xuezheng presided over the township examination, but this year Song Moran came, and Xuezheng certainly didn't dare to show off in front of Song Moran.

Song Moran nodded, did not refuse, took the big seal of "Jiyuan Township Xuezheng" in Xuezheng's hand, threw it casually, and hung it in the middle of the original plaque of the Library, but the big seal did not fall, but was suspended on it out of thin air.

But no student asked questions, Jiang Shangli looked at the hanging seal curiously, and didn't say anything.

As if pinching a little, Song Moran said: "The time has come, and the scientific expedition has begun." ”

All the students, including Song Moran and Xuezheng, straightened up.

As soon as Song Moran's words fell, the big seal hanging in the air trembled slightly, and then, a milky white light fell from the sky, directly enveloping the big seal's body, and then, the surrounding talent surged over, wrapping the big seal tightly.

Immediately, a light mask was formed around the big seal, and then spread around, and every time it passed through an examination room, there was a talent shrouded in the examination room with a note pasted on the top of the "Jiyuan Township Xuezheng", which directly linked this note with the big seal of Xuezheng.

In the end, the talent shrouded the entire Xiangxue inside, and it stopped spreading, and from the outside, the Xiangxue was like a white light cover, mysterious and majestic.

"Hurry, hurry, the scientific expedition has begun!"

Outside, the villagers who were still working stopped their movements at this time and talked endlessly, and some people even came from the countryside to watch this scene.

After two or three breaths of silence, the talent around the Great Seal began to vibrate violently, and then, an old voice sounded, and anyone could hear that the person who spoke was an old man.

But even if he is old, there is still a taste of Jin Ge Iron Horse in his voice, and there is an indescribable shock.

"The test of the national dynasty to pick talents, starting from today, all bachelors, learn right. When he said this, his voice paused, and Xuezheng and Song Moran's waists straightened by three points in an instant.

The local examiners, all known as bachelors, are called bachelors when they come from the imperial capital to inspect the Quartet.

"Can you uphold your heart, be fair and clear, and do you want to be talented for the country?"

"Yes. Song Moran and Xuezheng replied at the same time, and the two white lights were brushed at once, shrouded Song Moran and Xuezheng's heads, and formed a false mark, and they kept floating in front of their foreheads, and after two or three breaths, the white light dissipated, and Song Moran and Xuezheng only left shallow traces in front of their foreheads, if they didn't look closely, they couldn't see it.

"Students. The voice was another pause.

Nearly 200 students straightened up and were silent.

"To explore the way of the sage, we should follow our own heart, and now we can uphold our original heart, do not engage in favoritism and corrupt the reputation of Confucianism?"

"Yes. Qi Qi's response, the same more than a hundred white lights seeped into the forehead of the child, after entering the forehead, Jiang Shangli felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring at him around him, gentle, but not majestic, and talented, everywhere.

"If you turn your back, God will hate it!" the voice suddenly became stern.

"Yes. The voices of nearly 200 people rang out.

"So, it was agreed. ”

The sound disappeared, and the students returned to their examination rooms, and after a while, the examination questions and test papers, accompanied by a faint scent of ink, were emitted into everyone's hands.

The township test has officially begun.
