Chapter 102: The First Lesson
Soon, Fanning led them up to the second floor of the warehouse, where the oil lamps were lit, and the surroundings had been cleaned up, and the messy books had been returned to the cabinet, and about twenty square meters were vacant, and five small tables were placed.
Perhaps because of the wooden floor, Lin Hong, Dong Kun and Lu Youwei sat on the ground and were engrossed in practicing calligraphy.
At this time, Fanning walked up from the staircase, and the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted, "Senior brother is here!" ”
Fanning is now a senior brother, so he must have the appearance of a senior brother, he nodded solemnly, and turned around: "Come up!" ”
I heard the rumbling of footsteps, and three big guys emerged from the staircase one after the other.
Especially the last Li Dashou, who was strong and burly, his head was about to touch the beam of the roof, his face was full of meat, and he was extremely fierce from head to toe, which made Lin Hong and Dong Kun stunned.
Lu Youwei took a step back timidly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
But soon, Lin Hong and Dong Kun both stared at Mingren and Mingli, their eyes were full of surprise, the two brothers were exactly the same in figure, appearance, demeanor and clothes, and they were simply poured out of the same mold.
"These two are Lin Hong and Dong Kun, from the county-affiliated school, this is Lu Youwei, the county school auditor, preparing for the official examination, Mingren and Mingli, you introduce yourself."
Fanning couldn't tell who was Mingren and who was Mingli, anyway, they were all teenagers of the same age, and they dealt with each other by themselves.
At this time, the man brought up two small tables, and Fanning took out an alcohol lamp from his book bag, he felt that the oil lamp was too weak, the light was not bright enough, and it was very harmful to his eyesight.
The first batch of alcohol lamps that Zhu Yuanfeng has made, named Ice Spirit Lamps, are much more exquisite than Fanning's homemade.
The body of the lamp is a fine plum bottle fired by a porcelain kiln, and the painter painted a landscape scroll or beauty picture with a far-reaching artistic conception on the body of the bottle.
The first ice lanterns were paid as a tribute to the Imperial Palace, and they were not sold at all in the market, so they were filled with alcohol almost once every ten days and the wick was replaced.
The alcohol lamp takes the high-end route, just such a small alcohol lamp, priced at 100 times, and adding 10 times of alcohol.
This staggering price is destined to be affordable only by royal relatives and dignitaries.
Of course, wealthy businessmen and wealthy families from all over the world will also flock to it, and being able to use the ice spirit lamp is a manifestation of identity, which has lost the meaning of lighting.
Fanning lit the alcohol lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.
"What kind of lamp is this?" Akihito and Mingli were immediately attracted to something new.
"What do you do with so much?"
Fanning struck each of them on the head with a fan, "Sit down for me!" ”
The two brothers muttered, and had to go back and sit down.
In the past two days, Fanning has been thinking about what to make up for them, only two months, and there are only ten classes in total, especially the foundation of Akihito and Mingli is relatively poor.
If they all want to be admitted to the county school, there is no other way than to surprise the soldiers.
Surprise Soldier is two words, 'Charge!' ’
Although Fanning could know the exam questions in advance, he would not know the exam questions of the county school anyway.
However, as long as you have a heart for anything, you can find its rules and loopholes, and the proposition of county learning is no exception.
Fanning had a very strong learning ability in his previous life, he could grasp the key from the myriad of clues, and he could also find what he wanted from the vast amount of materials.
It was out of this consideration that he asked the directors about the county examination questions of the past years.
Fan Ning coughed lightly and said to the six people: "I'll make a long story short, our goal is to be admitted to the county school in May, the time is urgent, only two months, and I give you a shorter time to make up classes, only ten times before and after."
I can't let you practice calligraphy and memorize the Five Classics, these ten make-up classes, we only do one thing, that is, do the questions, and when the county exam comes, you will find that the exam questions have actually been done! ”
The six of them looked at each other, Lin Hong and Dong Hong secretly pouted, how could this kind of thing be done? If it were that simple, anyone could be admitted to the county school.
Akihito and Mingli are extremely excited, and they have done all the exam questions, which is something that every student dreams of!
Wouldn't it be better for Fanning to tell them the exam questions directly, wouldn't that be more convenient?
Li Dashou was also a little unbelievable, what even the professors in the academy couldn't do, could this Senior Brother Fan do it?
Lu Youwei admired Fan Ning more blindly, but he witnessed how Fan Ning won the first place in the county rank step by step, since Fan Ning planned to bet on the topic, of course he believed that Fan Ning would definitely be able to bet.
At this time, Fanning dragged out a sack full of test questions from the cabinet and smiled at the six people: "Let's do it together, and work with me to sort out all the county exam questions from previous years." ”
........
In the first make-up class, Fanning didn't give them any explanation, and the six of them sat on the floor sorting out the test papers, and they were exhausted for a whole hour.
Lin Hong and Dong Kun have never said a word, they are children of a family, and their tutors are excellent, although they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they will not show it easily.
But after turning over the test paper for an hour, they still had a little emotional exposure, and the two exchanged glances from time to time, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.
What can I learn by making up classes like this?
Fanning saw it in his eyes, but he didn't deliberately explain anything to them?
Make-up lessons! If you don't trust him, you don't have to come back next time.
Of course, Fanning didn't blame them, it was normal for them to have doubts in their hearts, and only by being admitted to the county school could they really be convinced.
Akihito and Mingli are like two big horse monkeys, shouting that they want to go for a walk with backache for a while, and saying that they can't help it when they are in a hurry, but they don't stop anyway.
They were more interested in some of the discounted books on the first floor of the warehouse than they had been sorting through the county school exam questions for 20 years, and they found the infinite business opportunities in them.
Like this year's county exam question solution, the original price is 50 wen, but now it is only sold for 30 wen, and they are sold at the original price in various schools in the countryside, and one can earn 20 wen.
There are at least 300 copies in the warehouse, find a time to make a trip, and you will get the money in six times.
They discussed for a while, and agreed that Fanning could be used as collateral, and the bookstore shopkeeper would give them the books on credit, and then settle the bill after they were sold.
However, Lu Youwei and the burly Li Dashou were the most serious, and for a whole hour, neither of them raised their heads, and they had been helping Fan Ning sort out the test questions.
"That's it!"
Fanning heard the sound of a shift outside, and it was about to be an hour.
He waved his hand, "Sit down, come closer." ”
It was finally over, and everyone was tired and had a sore back, so they stood up and stretched.
"You two guys!"
Fanning shouted downstairs, "Come up!" ”
Akihito and Mingli ran up on their feet, and the two of them were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, tonight is a make-up class, what a big gain!
Everyone sat together, and Fanning smiled: "What do you gain from sorting out the test papers for an hour?" ”
Akihito was about to speak, but Fanning waved his hand to block his words, "You two will be exempted, it is estimated that the harvest of the two of you is at least ten yuan." ”
"Not so much!"
Mingli corrected solemnly: "Profit up to eight yuan!" ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became relaxed.
, Li Dashou raised his hand and said, "Senior brother, can I talk about it?" ”
"You say!"
Fan Ning has a good impression of this thug-level junior brother, although he has a fierce appearance, he actually has a very gentle personality, is knowledgeable, and has a very serious learning attitude, which is many times stronger than those two lazy guys.
Li Dashou scratched his head and said: "My first harvest is to know the type of question, composing poems, silent scriptures, doing treatises, calligraphy also accounts for two percent, the second harvest, I found that there are many repetitions of the topic, like the "Book of Songs" at the beginning of this year, the title ten years ago is exactly the same. ”
"What about the two of you?" Fan Ning asked Lin Hong and Dong Kun with a smile again.
Lin Hong bowed down and said, "Senior Brother Hui, our harvest is similar to Li Dashou's, and we found that this year's thesis has also appeared before. ”
Fanning smiled slightly: "Then have you found out who made the question this year?" ”
Dong Kun and Lin Hong glanced at each other, of course they knew who made the question this year, almost everyone knew it, Fan Ning asked this question too simply.
Or did he have other intentions?
Dong Kun hesitated and said, "It is said that this year's county school exam questions are from Zhang Ruoying, the chief professor of Hongyan Academy. ”
Dong Kun and Lin Hong are not coming to the next class, although it has little impact on Fan Ning, he still hopes that these two can last until the end.
To make it to the end, you have to give them a little confidence.
Thinking of this, Fan Ning smiled slightly: "You are only partially right, the silent scripture questions and the treatise were written by Zhang Ruoying, but the poem questions were not written by him." ”
"No, it won't!"
Dong Kun was a little dissatisfied with Fan Ning's conclusion, and he continued to emphasize: "The professors in our school all said that the poem was written by Zhang Ruoying. ”
Fan Ning did not directly answer Dong Kun's question, but smiled faintly and said: "Let me tell you what I have gained from sorting out the test questions, first of all, this year's meditation scriptures and doing arguments have appeared before, and they have appeared more than once, and I am still looking for a pattern."
Secondly, I am already sure of the poetry composition questions in the May exam. ”
As soon as these words came out, the six of them were in an uproar, Mingren and Mingli jumped up, grabbed Fanning's arm and said eagerly: "Boss, tell us about it!" ”
Fan Ning looked at Dong Kun and said with a smile: "Didn't you notice that the poems written for four consecutive years are all taken from the poems of the same person." ”
Dong Kun's doubts about Fan Ning began to waver a little, none of the professors in their academy found out about this, Fan Ning could actually see it?
Lin Hong still had doubts in his heart, he shook his head, "Our school professors have studied it carefully, and they don't know whose poems they have written in the past few years?" It's very secluded. ”
The topic of a poem is usually to draw a random poem, and then students write another poem according to the mood and content of the poem.
Fan Ning felt the change in the attitude of the two, and Dong Kun began to trust him so much, but Lin Hong was still a little unimpressed.
It seems that they will have to come up with tangible evidence themselves before they are convinced.
Fan Ning said slowly: "The title of this year's poem is 'Covering the clouds like a Lingxiao ambition', and its publication is the poem "Song of Lingxiao Flower" by Jia Chaochang, not only this poem, but also Jia Xianggong's poem for four consecutive years, do you think it's a little strange? ”
The eyes of the six people showed a look of confusion, it was indeed very strange, why did they choose Jia Xianggong's poems for five consecutive years?
Lin Hong was stunned, the master of the academy didn't see it, how could Fan Ning know?
Dong Kun's trust in Fan Ning is one more point, Fan Ning can know that the poems of the five years are all poems by Jia Chaochang, and by virtue of this, Fan Ning has surpassed most of the professors in the school.
Dong Kun asked curiously, "Senior brother, can you tell us the reason?" ”
Fan Ning smiled and said, "I just need to tell everyone that Jia Xianggong is the father-in-law of our predecessor Li Xianling, and everyone will understand." ”
Everyone suddenly realized, Lin Hong was shocked, it turned out that there was still this secret hidden in the county school test questions.
He hurriedly asked, "Senior brother means that the poems for five consecutive years have been ordered by Li County?" ”
"That's how it can only be explained!"
Fan Ning said confidently: "So I deduce that the poetry question for the May exam will be issued by Gao Xianling, and Gao Xianling is likely to use this opportunity to express his ambition to become a county magistrate for the first time, and the poetry question in May is still related to Yongzhi." ”
The so-called ambition poem, of course, Fanning is just talking, how can he be sure what the county commander Gao Fei will test?
But..... Since he could guess that the title of the poem was made by Gao County, why didn't he go to set up Gao County's friendship in advance?
