"Yes, of course I do."

Tan Jiexing said, "But when we came out, didn't we sell all those thick stacks that were not applicable and were like bricks at a low price?" We don't have any more books and five classics. ”

So Tan Wuya should go to buy books for her brothers and sisters.

Tan Yunxing was about to be blown up.

"Your little head can hold anything other than hidden weapon darts and explosives!"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. I have to talk to Chen An about this in person! ”

Tan Yunxing and Tan Jiexing were noisy there, but Tan Qingqing's side was peaceful.

Chen An said to Tan Qingqing, "In "The University", "The Mean", "The Analects", and "Mencius", my father taught Mencius. "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" have not been read. ”

And that was years ago.

Since Chen's father is gone, Chen An has never touched a book again.

And Tan Qingqing knew that if he wanted to take the Xiucai test, he had to recite the four books and five classics in full. The scriptures and the clear meaning are the most basic.

During the exam, questions will be drawn from these books, a page will be picked at random, and the following will be covered by the following, and the candidates will be asked to write silently and clarify their meaning.

The "children's examination" is also divided into three stages: the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and all of them can be qualified to show talents.

For ordinary people, it is already quite difficult to just enlighten and recognize all the words.

Not to mention the recitation of the Four Books and the Five Classics in their entirety, as well as the clarification of their meanings.

Tan Qingqing knew that Xiucai was not easy to test, but since she had decided to cultivate Chen An and Chen Shi well, she would never give up halfway.

"Then I bought the four books first." Tan Qingqing said, "Pen, ink, paper, inkstone or something, just put it first." ”

Mainly as soon as he entered the bookstore, the price of the book was too expensive, and Tan Qingqing looked stupid directly.

A complete set of four books costs six taels of silver.

A full set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, four or five taels.

There are still seven or eight books of exegesis, and one or two are more.

Not to mention the Five Classics, Tan Qingqing hasn't read the Five Classics yet.

I really didn't expect that the ancients would be so expensive to read a book. No wonder the ancients were illiterate.

The bookstore owner saw Tan Qingqing leading a child in, so he hurriedly came out to entertain him.

"What books do you want to read? I have everything here except for the only one. What are your palms? ”

Tan Qingqing looked at it, this bookstore is divided into two parts. Part of it is engraving printing and printing, and the paper industry has not been assembled. The other part is the finished book.

Movable type printing has never been developed, that is the Tang Dynasty.

But Tan Qingqing took a look at the font again, good guy, Song Huizong's thin gold body - it is famous for its beautiful bones and easy and hazy.

The planning of this game is completely a mess of China for 5,000 years.

The material is a brick, where it is needed, where it is moved.

Tan Qingqing sighed wordlessly, and then said to the bookstore owner, "Can the full set of four books be cheaper?" I don't have much silver with me when I go out. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to bargain, the boss made a difficulty, "Girl, in this famine year, the only thing that hasn't increased in price is books." You must know that before this engraving printing came out, it was all handwritten copies, and it was more expensive, and a copy cost four or five taels of silver. It's a lot cheaper now! ”

When the movable type is printed, it will be cheaper. One is estimated to be down to five dollars.

Tan Qingqing complained in her heart.

"Well, I won't bargain with you much. A full set of four books, you price six taels of silver, I take four taels, don't you think it? No, I'll go to the next bookstore to read. ”

The boss smiled, "Don't talk about going to the next bookstore, you just turn the whole Wuzhou City over, and you can't find anything more affordable than us!" ”

So what to do?

She has a little more than five taels on her, even if she takes it all out, the money to buy four books is not enough.

Chen An was really embarrassed to look at Tan Qingqing from the side, so he pointed to the "Analects" and "Mencius", "Sister Qingqing, I don't want these two books." I can memorize both volumes. ”

"Really?!" Tan Qingqing suppressed the joy in her heart and remained silent on her face.

"Yes." Chen An replied steadily, "The Analects of the Analects is twenty, divided into studies, for the government, for the eight hundred chapters, for the Liren chapter, Gongye long chapter, Yongye chapter, Shuer chapter, Taibo chapter, Zihan chapter, Xiangdang chapter, advanced chapter, Yan Yuan chapter, Zilu chapter, Xianwen chapter, Wei Ling Gong chapter, Ji Shi chapter, Yang goods chapter, Weizi chapter, Zizhang chapter and Yao Yue chapter. ”

"Mencius, Chapter 14, divided into ......"

"Okay, I believe your father has enlightened you. But there are so many words in the Analects and Mencius, you can't memorize the whole text, and you can still memorize a single word, right? ”

"Then Sister Qingqing can pick any sentence to take the test."

Seeing Chen An's confident appearance, Tan Qingqing half-believingly picked one of the sentences on the sixth volume of "Mencius" Teng Wengong:

"Set it up as a school to teach it."

Chen An replied like a stream, "Those who are in the house are also raised; The school is also taught; Preamble, shoot also. Xia said the school, Yin said the order, Zhou said the Xu; There are three generations of learning, and they are all so bright. The people are clear at the top, and the small people are close to the bottom. If there is a king, he will come to take the law, and he will be the teacher of the king. ”

Okay, Tan Qingqing believes that he can recite the full text.

But if you can memorize it, you may not be able to write it silently.

"Shopkeeper, can you borrow a pen and waste paper that you don't need? I won't use yours in vain, I'll definitely buy your book. ”

The shopkeeper was actually not as stingy as Tan Qingqing imagined, on the contrary, he also generously handed over a sheep's hair and a broken page.

Tan Qingqing took the pen and paper, turned around and handed it to Chen An, and asked Chen Anmo to write the entire text of "The Analects".

When Tan Yunxing and Tan Jiexing came over, Chen An happened to write Taber to the last few sentences.

"What are you doing?" Tan Yunxing asked.

Tan Qingqing just glanced back at Tan Yunxing, and immediately lowered his head to check the words written by Chen Anmo.

Not only right carefully.

She even checked word by word.

"It's over." Chen An returned the page that he had written silently to Tan Qingqing.

Although Tan Qingqing doesn't recognize some traditional characters, he can at least recognize sixty percent. Some words, Tan Qingqing even guessed, and finally saw it all.

Then I also believed in the fact that Chen An had an amazing memory.

"Sister Qingqing, in order to save money, it is enough to buy one copy of the Four Books and Five Classics. If my younger siblings want to use it, I can copy it for them. "So pen, ink, paper, inkstone are very important.

Before, the family had no money, and Chen's father couldn't buy good paper and ink, so Chen An could only use the sand in front of the house to write words silently.

So his handwriting isn't actually pretty.

Compared with calligraphy, it is still far behind.

If you can take this opportunity to let Sister Qingqing buy more good paper and ink, then he will be able to handle his handwriting.

"Okay, then let's put the Analects and Mencius first, and buy the other books first. The shopkeeper, the other two books helped me wrap up. ”

Tan Yunxing glanced at it from the side, and felt even more that this Chen An, their Tan family must not be given to outsiders.

"Wait a minute!"

Tan Yunxing stopped Tan Qingqing from buying things so coolly, "What's the matter?" You're just wrapping it up? Has this page been checked? Is there any damage? Also, you only buy it for Chen An alone? Chen Shi and Chen Hua don't care? They can't read words, so they have to learn arithmetic, right? ”

"A copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic", right? There is also this, "The Book of Ancient Calculations" is a copy. ”

Tan Qingqing, "? ”

What the hell!

Tan Qingqing opened the "Ancient Calculation Sutra", and the first question at the beginning of the result was to find the declination of the moon? It belongs to astronomy.

Questions 2 to 14 are about the construction calculations of civil and hydraulic works such as the construction of observation towers, the construction of embankments, the excavation of ditches, and the construction of warehouses and cellars?

Questions 15 to 20 are Pythagorean questions?

Good guy, such a difficult knowledge point, Chen Shi and Chen Hua, these two little dolls who don't even have teeth, can they be used!
