Woke up the next morning, the dawn was shining, the sound of birds and birds was particularly pleasant, the morning light sprinkled on Xu Qian's face, the pale yellow light was not uncomfortable, Xu Qian got up with his shoes, but after washing, he found that he had nothing to do.

Yes!

He suddenly remembered that his current goal seemed to be reading, the former Xu Qian, reading for interest, but now Xu Qian is holding a utilitarian mind.

In my ears, my father's teachings echoed: If you read a book, you can become a master, and if you read a book, you will no longer be a lowly servant, and only with fame can you gain a foothold in this world.

Xu Qian took a deep breath, dispelled superfluous thoughts, and his gaze fell on a wooden box.

The wooden box was left by Xu Qian from the past, and there were many books in it, but it was already covered with dust, Xu Qian opened the box and took out the hand-copied books, but it exuded a musty smell, Xu Qian couldn't help frowning: "I'm afraid that in a few days, these books will be moldy and rotten, fortunately, fortunately, they can barely be used now." ”

He picked up a hand-copied copy of the Analects, flipped through it, and the memories in his mind flooded through the floodgates like a raging flood......

These long-sealed memories appeared clearly in Xu Qian's mind under the guidance of the Chinese characters in the book.

Zi said: "Isn't it pleasant to learn and learn it?" Friends from afar...... Youzi said: "He is also filial and easy to offend, and he is rare." Those who are not good at committing crimes and are good at making trouble, they will ...... if they do not"

The content of the book, Xu Qian can recite it backwards, Xu Qian can't help but be speechless, and secretly admires in his heart that the foundation of the nerd in the past is really solid, this guy not only memorizes the four books and five classics well, but even Cheng Zhu Ersheng's collection of notes can be memorized backwards, Xu Qian is glad in his heart, if it is not for the inheritance of memory, I don't know when I want to read this book, with such a solid foundation, as long as I am lucky, it should not be difficult to take the test.

Xu Qian flipped through all the bookcases again, and actually found a hand-copied copy of "Eight Strands of Jiyi" at the bottom of the box, which recorded a lot of eight-strand texts, which can be used for reference, he carefully picked up the book, read it hastily first, and had a general impression in his heart, and couldn't help but have some thoughts.

The so-called eight shares, in fact, is to make a fuss in the four books, the themes of the eight shares are from the four books, if you can't understand the four books, the average person is afraid that they can't even understand the topic.

As for how to make eight shares, although there are norms, but there are also some mysteries in it, to put it bluntly, in fact, it is to copy the broken sentences of the four books for you to borrow the question to play, the format is one aspect that restricts the candidates, and the content of the play is actually similar to the argumentative essays of later generations, of course, the premise is that you must play according to Cheng Zhu's thoughts, otherwise you have written a theory that is completely contrary to Cheng Zhu's old man's thoughts, then don't say anything, get out.

Cheng Zhu science is also extremely important, although all kinds of ideas are rampant in this era, but the only officially recognized authority is such a kind, can not refer to the thoughts of Cheng Zhu, the two scholars, it is equivalent to doing useless work, and the explanations of various remarks in the four books are also from Cheng Zhu, for example, there is a problem in the four books that one plus one equals few, then Zhu Zi said that it is equal to three, then it must be three, it must not be two, if you write two, then you are really two.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, you can roughly have a context, Xu Qian read a few eight-strand essays over and over again, and he has a clear understanding in his heart, and he has a solid foundation, but he can take over and learn from it, and write a few eight-strand articles to practice when he has time, everything always makes perfect with practice, maybe the first few times he wrote it was not worth mentioning, but he slowly integrated it, and his knowledge was much stronger than that of readers in this era, and he may not be able to make good articles.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there seemed to be some movement outside, Xu Qian heard that his father seemed to be meeting guests, so he put down his book and went to the hall.

A familiar sedan chair was parked in the courtyard, and Xu Qian knew who was coming.

Miss Zhao's father is now released by the relationship between the prince and the princess, and he must be thinking about the contract of sale he signed at this time.

He hurriedly entered the hall, and saw Xu Chang sitting in the first place, happily talking with a pot-bellied businessman, Miss Zhao was standing beside the businessman with a cold face, and when she saw Xu Qianlai, her beautiful eyes only swept slightly to Xu Qian's face, and then moved to the side.

Xu Qian didn't bother to pay attention to her, and saw that Xu Chang and the businessman were talking warmly, so he moved a stool and sat next to him.

"Brother Xu is indeed a few years older than me, it's okay to call me brother, haha, you and I don't know each other, to be honest, I also hated Brother Xu when I was in prison, it's just the past, haha...... It's just a passing cloud, and it's all a misunderstanding, isn't it? ”

This businessman is very talkative, his mouth is like smeared with honey, and he is already called a brother and a brother in a flash.

Xu Chang was also not far behind, and said with a hearty smile: "Since you call me a brother, then Xu is disrespectful." In the future, everyone is brothers, if you are willing to come to my cold house, no matter what, you have to eat a meal before leaving, Qian'er ......" The corner of Xu Chang's eyes skimmed to Xu Qian's side, and then said: "Later, you will go and get a few catties of wine, I want to have a good meal with Brother Zhao." ”

"Yes, yes." Xu Chang hurriedly responded.

After chatting for a while, Shang Jia frowned and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xu, this time I came here, I really have something to ask for." When he said this, Xu Qian couldn't help but glance at Miss Zhao, who naturally responded to him with an indifferent attitude.

Xu Chang looked unclear and said, "You and I are from one family, do you still say the words of two families?" If you have anything to say, just say it. ”

Shang Jia Zhengse said: "My little girl is young and ignorant, I was in prison that day, but she came to find a virtuous nephew to intercede, and I don't know what misunderstanding she had, she actually wrote a deed of sale, hey...... This ignorant girl...... I came here to get back the deed of sale, but Brother Xu rest assured, Zhao is also a sensible person, as long as the noble son is willing to take out the deed of sale, Zhao's family has a little bit of money, and I am willing to give fifty silver tattoos, and a beautiful maid to show a little respect. ”

This businessman's face has already shown a look of confidence, he and Xu Chang have already become friends, and now they are willing to give so many benefits in exchange for the deed of sale, I am afraid that this matter is nine out of ten.

Although Miss Zhao's face was indifferent, her eyes also flashed a hint of joy, she was too impulsive at the time, and fell into the surname Xu Xiaozi, now that her father has been released from prison, she naturally refuses to come to the Xu family as a slave, and now the biggest problem is the deed of sale, as long as she gets it, she will have a heart.

Xu Chang smiled and said to Xu Qian: "Qian'er, is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Qian said: "It's true. ”

"Oh." Xu Chang nodded very calmly, and then asked, "Can there be black and white words?" ”

Xu Qian said: "There are black and white characters, all of which are clearly written. ”

"In that case." Xu Chang said to Shang Jia without hesitation: "Then please ask Brother Zhao to forgive me, silver, Xu can't look down on it, as for the beautiful maid, hehe...... That's useless, since it was your daughter who sold her body, and there are black and white words, then obediently enter the door of my Xu family. ”

Xu Chang's attitude changed, it was really dumbfounded, who would have thought that this person who was still calling people brothers and sisters just now would suddenly become a Rakshasa Yama?

Shang Jia said incredulously: "But ......"

Xu Chang interrupted him and said: "There is nothing, since you have signed the deed of sale, your daughter is a member of my Xu family, you have to redeem it, but unfortunately my Xu family does not sell, I said ugly things in front, now I see that you and I still have a little friendship, you can take your daughter back now, but today, your daughter must pack up and salute the door, if not, when the time comes, we will see a real chapter in the county government, what is the crime of abducting private slaves, you must also know." ”

The words made the merchant half angry, he got up, and said angrily: "The surname is Xu, do you want to fall into the well?" ”

Xu Chang sat firmly on the chair, his eyes narrowed, and said, "The surname Xu doesn't fall into the well, can he still mix up now?" ”

"How unreasonable!" Shang Jia actually rolled up his sleeves, looking desperate, then Miss Zhao was in a hurry, so she had to persuade her, and finally the father and daughter brushed their sleeves away.

The scene of Fang Cai was like a dream in Xu Qian's eyes, and he obviously thought that the two of them were about to hook up and put their backs together, but who knew that as soon as interests were involved, the old man immediately turned his face and denied people, which was really breathtaking.

"Could it be that Daddy has taken a fancy to that Miss Zhao, what kind of crooked heart did he move?" Xu Qian had a terrible thought, glanced at the old man, and said very unconfidently: "Why doesn't Dad want silver?" ”

Xu Chang said coldly: "Silver can be earned, but does the girl earn it when she says it?" ”

Xu Qian thought to himself, this is over, it's over, and he really moved his heart, he hurriedly said: "Daddy doesn't want to find me an aunt, right?" ”

Xu Chang was stunned for a moment, then glared at Xu Qian, and said, "You bastard, the old man still needs to find you an aunt?" The kiln sisters in Qiantang County are all your stepmothers, and there is one more? I haven't seen that Miss Zhao before, and I didn't have any thoughts, but today, seeing this Miss Zhao dignified and beautiful, my father is thinking about you. Think about it, if you study in the future and become a talented master, you will definitely have red sleeves and fragrance, right? But what if you don't get into the show? You can't do anything, where is your father going to find you a daughter-in-law? So take this Miss Zhao in first, and when you really can't pass the exam, you will simply let you get married, which is called killing two birds with one stone, and be prepared. ”

Xu Qian couldn't help but smack his tongue, it was still the old man who thought far and deeply. To be a master, you have to be decent, there must always be a jade talent on the side who can handle it, if you can't do it, you can marry a wife, and even save the dowry, anyway, they are all from the Xu family.

However, Xu Qian still felt uncomfortable, especially Xu Chang's sentence that the kiln sisters in the county are all your stepmothers, tragedy, tragedy, how can you get such a father.

"But what if Miss Zhao runs away?" Xu Qian couldn't help but ask.

Xu Chang sneered and said: "I can't run, the imperial court is the most harsh on fugitive slaves, if they dare to run, they will suffer from it." ”
