Shen Ao wanted to read Chen Ji's poems, but Chen Ji stopped with shame. He thought to himself, "If I put a lot of effort into writing a good poem to show him, it would be fine." But the poems that are scribbled in a hurry do not need to be axes. ”

Chen Ji is good at calligraphy, especially after the dismissal, he was depressed, so he devoted himself to calligraphy, and after a long time, he developed a quirky surname.

However, in front of Shen Ao, this quirk had to be reined in.

He continued to look at Shen Ao's book, and sighed again, sighing: "It's not much better than Cai Jing's thief, Cai Jing has always been conceited about Xingshu, if he sees Shen Xianggong's book, he will definitely be ashamed." ”

Shen Ao is very comfortable in his heart, it is rare for someone to know the goods, and since he crossed over, he has made friends with straw bales in addition to illiteracy. If you paint a painting, you will have to write a good word at most, which is the layman's opinion. This Chen Zhuangyuan is different, he is very knowledgeable, and he praises people for not being the same, how to come to the flesh and hemp, very happy.

Shen Ao said with rare modesty: "I'm just a little scholar, where can I be called a minister." ”

In the Song Dynasty, only gentlemen and students were called Xianggong, and no one would ever call them that way without fame. Chen Ji raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ao suspiciously, only to realize that Shen Ao was indeed not dressed luxuriously, and said, "You are actually a scholar?" It's a pity, it's a pity? Haven't you yet gained fame? ”

Then he shook his head again and muttered: "Yes, when I tested you just now, you didn't even know what to think about, and it seems that you haven't read the scriptures and history. He sighed: "It's strange, I am not proficient in the Four Books and the Five Classics, but I can make such good words and write such good words." ”

Chen Jizheng said: "How can a man not take the test to gain fame, it's better like this, you teach me to write, I teach you how to be lean in history?" With your qualifications, you will be admitted to Shike Sure High School. ”

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was divided into two kinds of examinations, one was the Jinshi subject and the other was the Ming Jing subject. The number of questions in the Song Dynasty's scientific examination was quite large, and it was not possible to gain fame by answering a paper. The Jinshi examination requires one poem, one poem, one comment, five strategies, ten posts of the Analects, and ten articles of the "Spring and Autumn" or "Book of Rites". Among them, poetry, fu, and theory are the most important.

The Ming Jing scientific examination is also the same content, but the poems, fu, and treatises are placed in a secondary position, and the Analects are the most important for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Rites.

This leads to the fact that the students of the Jinshi Department often look down on the Ming Jing Department, because the Ming Jing Department mainly relies on rote memorization, unlike the Jinshi who are as brilliant as the Jinshi.

Chen Ji is very confident in Shen Ao's entry into the imperial examination, and the poetry is naturally difficult for him, as long as he makes up for the Analects, Spring and Autumn Period, Rites, and Strategies.

Shen Ao shook his head and said: "The book boy is not interested in it, it is not easy for you to learn to write, I will write a post, and you can take it yourself to copy and experience." ”

Chen Ji's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said: "If you don't have fame, you want to be a slave and a servant for the rest of your life?" Everything is inferior, only reading is high, Shen Xianggong doesn't understand this truth? ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations, don't I have to live if I don't test for fame? Chen Xianggonggui is a champion talent, and he is famous, and he doesn't see how happy he is. "Shen Ao was originally an unconventional person, otherwise he would have been a good baby in his previous life, how could he be a thief.

All he wants is the kind of life he wants.

Chen Ji shook his head and sighed: "That's it, Chen Ji doesn't want to be favored, you don't want me to teach, and I won't learn this line of writing." After that, he glanced at the deaf and dumb Yunnu.

Yun Nu put on a face, and pushed Shen Ao and Chun'er out, and as soon as the door was closed, it was regarded as a closed door.

Shen Ao smiled bitterly, this person is really weird, he will teach people to eat closed doors if he doesn't agree with each other. He flicked his sleeves and scolded angrily towards the closed door: "If I were the emperor, I wouldn't let you be an official." ”

Chun'er pursed her lips and was silent, but Chen Ji's words moved her mind. She really hopes that Shen Ao is good, even Chen Xianggong said that Shen Ao is high school after all, and what do you say that everything is inferior, only reading is high, how can Chun'er not know these truths? is because she sincerely hopes that this big brother Shen will go to the imperial examination and win a fame.

Chun'er wanted to persuade Shen Ao. But then I thought, if Brother Shen has a fame, I'm afraid that he will never want to be with me again, right?

Thinking of this, her ears turned red, and she was shy and speechless.

Shen Ao and Chun'er walked back along the path, and along the way, there were gradually more people, and Chun'er was shy, so she quickened her pace, deliberately leaving Shen Ao behind, so as not to be seen walking side by side. Shen Ao was thick-skinned and chased after him on three feet and two feet. Chun'er turned around, ashamed and anxious, suppressed the unbearability in her heart and said with a tiger face: "There are a lot of people here, Brother Shen shouldn't follow Chun'er, okay?" ”

Shen Ao clasped his hands, looked at the 'face-turning and ruthless' Xiao Nizi with interest, and said: "Xiao Chun'er takes Xiao Chun'er's way, and this little girl takes this little girl's road, the two have nothing to do with each other, how can you say that you follow Xiao Chun'er?" ”

Chun'er still couldn't pull her face in front of Shen Ao after all, and muttered and prayed: "It's not good to be seen, and I'm going to see Mrs. in the Buddha Hall." ”

Shen Ao grinned: "What a coincidence, I was about to go to see Madame." ”

Chun'er was stunned: "What are you doing when you see Madame?" ”

"Why can't I see Madame? Last night, Mrs. said that she had time to go to the Buddha hall to talk to her, and I am very free now. ”

Chun'er was speechless, so she had to turn around and continue walking, and Shen Ao chased after her heels, attracting many people's sideways.

When she arrived at the Buddha Hall, Chun'er entered with her front foot, and Shen Ao followed with her back foot. This Buddha hall is not big, the smell of incense and candles is strong, it is surrounded by white bi, there are several futons under the feet, and then there is the incense case and the Buddha shrine in front. The lady twisted the beads and crossed her knees and recited the scriptures. Seeing someone coming in, the closed eyes opened slightly, and when he saw Shen Ao, he smiled slightly, and said, "Come and sit." ”

Shen Ao sat down, without any inhibitions, as if he was not a subordinate of the Zhou Mansion, but like a distinguished guest.

In fact, many people have a natural fear of superiors and tiptoe in front of them. In fact, they are all human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they are not man-eating monsters.

Mrs. put down the Buddhist beads, she couldn't read this sutra anymore, she still sat on the futon, and said, "Shen Ao doesn't need to give incense to the Buddha?" ”

Shen Ao sat still and replied unashamedly: "The Buddha is in Shen Ao's heart, and he is informal. As soon as his voice fell, he said in his heart: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart, I don't know which guy invented it, and he has a very good appetite for this book." ”

Mrs. accepted the Buddha beads, stood up with the support of Chun'er, and said with a smile: "So, I'm stubborn." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, Madame is sincere, incense and recitation of scriptures can not only express respect for the Buddha, but also calm the mind, there is no harm." ”

Madame nodded: "You kid can tell you anything." ”

Shen Ao smiled: "Shen Ao respects his wife, so there is always a twist of praise in his words, and many words blurted out before he thought about it." He made a helpless look, which meant that I did not flatter Madame deliberately, but moved with my heart, and what I thought in my heart turned into beautiful words.

The lethality of this ** fart is very great, Mrs. couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of joy, sat down opposite Shen Ao, and said to Chun'er: "Teach people to serve some pastries, go and tell the cook, tell them to make a few more vegetarian meals today, and Shen Ao will stay and eat with me." ”

Chun'er answered the order. Shen Ao's eyes fell on the Guanyin statue hanging on the wall, and he couldn't help but stand up and watch, and said: "I don't know who painted this Guanyin statue, which makes people look very quiet and comfortable." ”
