Early in the morning, wash up.

The "toothpaste" that father and son use now is more advanced than that in the Tokyo Palace. Song Huizong only used green salt and pepper to brush his teeth, and they also added aconite, which has the effect of strengthening bones and teeth.

Toothbrushes were already popular in the Song Dynasty, and apart from the material differences, the shape was exactly the same as hundreds of years later.

However, farmers are not so particular, and most of them do not brush their teeth. If you prefer to be cleaner, you can also brush your teeth with plant fibers such as wicker.

"Big brother, my teeth are loose, and it hurts to brush my teeth."

Bai Qi was also taught to brush his teeth together, and at this moment he was standing beside Zhu Ming, grinning and raising his head.

Zhu Ming took a look at it and said with a smile: "You are changing your teeth, don't use too much force when brushing your teeth." ”

"What is a tooth change?" Bai Qi asked.

Zhu Ming explained: "It's that the teeth fall out, grow back in, and bite things more powerfully." ”

"Oh." Bai Qi was a little panicked.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood under the eaves and watched, and when the father and son finished brushing their teeth, they immediately went back to the house to get two pieces of clothes.

Shen Yourong took it to Zhu Guoxiang, and Mrs. Yan shouted at Zhu Ming: "Da Lang, come in and try new clothes." ”

These are two silk cloth clothes, made by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Watching Zhu Ming change clothes, Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Scholars should have two decencies, it just so happens that our family does not pay summer grain this year, so we can save a lot of silk cloth." In the past few days, I have been accompanying the envoy to mention the school, and I don't want to wear sackcloth again, which is really a joke. ”

Shen Yourong didn't say a word, just watched Zhu Guoxiang change his clothes, his eyes watery and affectionate.

While being happy, Mrs. Yan was a little sentimental: "My unfortunate son, when I went to study in the county, I was fourteen years old, about the same age as Da Lang, and I also let him go out in a silk coat." ”

Zhu Ming comforted: "Don't be sad, my father will be your son in the future." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan turned around, looked at Zhu Guoxiang who was dressed in silk, and said happily: "A talent." ”

In addition to the new clothes, there were also silk scarves.

The father and son have traveled for more than three months, and although their hair has grown, it is still very early for them to comb their hair into a bun, and they usually wrap their heads in kudzu cloth towels.

The scarf style suits them best, wrapping the top of their head tightly.

In the past, it was wrapped in a kudzu cloth scarf, also called a kudzu scarf, which was mostly worn by cloth cloth people. Today, it is wrapped in a silk cloth scarf, also called a silk scarf, which is mostly worn by nobles and gentlemen.

Bai Qi's eyes were hot, these clothes were so beautiful, he also wanted to have one.

Shen Yourong stroked the top of his son's head and advised: "Brother Qi must study hard, and in the future, when he is deeply educated, he can wear such clothes." ”

"Mother, I must work hard." Bai Qi is more motivated.

In the morning, he stayed at home, and in the afternoon he went to find Lu Tixue, and Zhu Guoxiang wanted to present an agricultural article.

The identity of the father and son was improved again, and when they came to the door of Bai's house, they didn't need to report it anymore, they were directly brought in by the domestic servants.

Lu Tixue is busy, and it's his own job - commenting on Shizi Jingyi.

The twenty entourage of the county brought not only poems, but also scriptures. At this moment, they are queuing up in the courtyard, one by one, and sending scriptures and texts for judgment and study.

"Success is coming, come and help me review the article." Lu Tixue has regarded Zhu Ming as his junior.

Zhu Ming arched his hand and said: "I am shallow in my studies, and I dare not evaluate the articles of Jingyi." ”

"Let you comment, just comment, don't shirk," Lu Tixue pointed to the group of scholars, "The last three in line, hand over your scriptures to success." ”

The three scholars were a little reluctant, although they admitted that Zhu Ming was knowledgeable, but they were definitely not as good as the dignified scholars.

But the mention of learning makes an order, and if you are reluctant, you have to do it.

Zhu Ming arched his hand and said, "It's presumptuous." ”

"It's okay, let's learn from each other." The three scholars returned the salute.

The first scripture is entitled "Zi said, attacking heresy, and harming it."

Zhu Ming first scanned the article and found that it was not in the eight-strand format. Looking at its breakthrough again, it seems to be a bit mediocre, and the following discussion is quite exciting, but it seems bloated and chaotic in some places.

Evaluating other people's articles is different from writing your own articles.

Zhu Ming may not be good at writing, but he is very good at commenting!

Just like a gourmet, cooking his own food is ordinary, and when he evaluates others, he is the first to be right.

is another example of a certain director who chases his dreams, writes film reviews splendidly, and makes a movie by himself and makes a piece of.

Zhu Ming first drew circles on the bloated part, meaning to let the author rewrite. Then, directly change the problem-solving part and write a sentence: The world has different paths and ends up together, and if you know its origin, you will do good.

The scholar who wrote this scripture was stunned when he saw the problem, and said in surprise: "This is Uncle He Ping's (He Yan)'s commentary on Wei Ling's official article, and it is just right to break this sentence, why didn't I think of it?" ”

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "Uncle He Ping is also quoting the "Book of Changes: The Biography of the Dictionaries", and the "Analects" and "The Book of Changes" are common in these places. ”

The scholar was so impressed that he saluted and said, "I have been taught!" No wonder they all say that they have successfully penetrated the Three Classics. ”

Even the scholars who were waiting in line for Lu Tixue's commentary couldn't help but turn around when they heard the words, and they wanted to know very much what Zhu Ming had just written.

Lu Tixue beckoned: "Take it." ”

Without waiting for Zhu Ming to leave, the scholar took the article and went over.

After Lu Tixue finished reading, he praised and said: "If you succeed in going to the imperial examination, you will definitely get a high school jinshi!" ”

Zhu Ming just smiled, and knew his own affairs. It must be awesome for him to solve the problem, but to write the whole scripture beautifully, he has to train hard for at least a year and a half.

In the next two scriptures, Zhu Ming also quickly gave suggestions for revision.

Seeing this situation, Lu Tixue gave him three more articles.

The two worked together to finish the article, and Lu Tixue warned all the students: "Yi is the ancestor of the hundred classics, even if you don't cure the Yi, you should read it more, it will be very beneficial for you to write scriptures." Of the six articles judged successfully, he used "Yi" to solve the problem in four of them, which was concise and concise, and the technique was really superior. ”

"We've been taught!"

The scholars first bowed to Lu Tixue, and then turned around to salute Zhu Ming.

This is related to their future in the imperial examination, and what they have learned is what they have learned, and they must be repaid with due respect.

After talking for a while, Lu Tixue picked up Zhu Guoxiang's agricultural article.

Chapter 1: Rice and rape rotation method.

From water control and drought seedling raising, to rape seedling transplanting, the precautions in each link in the middle are all clearly written.

In particular, those fine management are extremely helpful to the areas with developed water conservancy. The low-level people who are inconvenient to use water can't do it indiscriminately, and they will get away if they are not careful, Zhu Guoxiang repeatedly warned in the article.

Part 2: Thirteen Methods of Interplanting.

Through how to intercrop crops, explain the needs of plants for soil, sunlight, water, air, and fertility. He also classified fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizer was called soybean fertilizer, potassium fertilizer was called ash fertilizer, and phosphate fertilizer was called bone fertilizer. These fertilizers are also discussed in detail and under what circumstances they should not be mixed.

Chapter 3: Sweet potato planting and eating.

Chapter 4: Corn planting and eating.

Chapter 5: Male and female flowers and artificial pollination.

For the time being, he only wrote these contents, and Lu Tixue gained a lot after reading them, and said to Zhu Guoxiang: "In the future, I will make up some more, and I will compile them into "Yuanzhang Agricultural Book". ”

"I must make it up, wait for the corn to be harvested, and send it to Xingyuan Mansion together." Zhu Guoxiang said.

Lu Tixue suddenly asked: "Yuan Zhang really doesn't understand the meaning and diction of the scriptures?" ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Seven tricks have passed six tricks. ”

"Hahahaha!" Lu Tixue was amused by laughter.

Lu Tixue led everyone to the riverside to blow the wind, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Xixiang County is worthy of being the small Jiangnan of the Qinling Mountains." ”

"It's a pity that there are too many mountains." A word to the magistrate.

The climate of Xixiang Prefecture is very suitable for living and farming, and has even been praised by UNESCO as "one of the most suitable places for human habitation".

The only drawback is that there are many mountains, and there are too few places to grow rice and wheat. Moreover, the main cultivation areas are gathered around the county, and Shangbai Village and Daming Village are poor and remote areas.

For the next few days, Lu Tixue was touring the mountains and rivers.

This old man is fifty years old, and he walks like a fly on the hill, making the scholars miserable.

When they heard that they were about to return to the county, everyone cheered.

Before leaving, Lu Tixue asked Bai Zongwang: "In the past few days, I have been entertained, and Ling Lang is studying in Yangzhou?" ”

Bai Zongwang hurriedly replied: "The dog's name is Bai Chongyan, the word is Juncai, and he once won the lift. ”

Lu Tixue nodded and said that he remembered, Bai Zongwang was overjoyed, and the service in the past few days was finally not in vain.

After all, the father and son decided to give gifts, Zhu Guoxiang held the lake pen and said: "The family is poor and has nothing, so let's talk about giving a pen." ”

Lu Tixue didn't take it seriously, and only let his entourage accept it.

He said to Zhu Ming: "The successful teenager is erudite and talented. Remember to work hard to learn, don't hurt Zhongyong. ”

"Thank you for the admonition." Zhu Ming said.

Everyone moved to board the ship, and the gentlemen hugged their fists and said goodbye, they were completely convinced. Whether it's scriptures or poems, this can't be faked, not to mention that Zhu Ming also helped comment on the article, which benefited several scholars a lot.

These are all representatives of the scholars in this county, and after they go home, Zhu Ming's talent will definitely spread throughout the county.

Looking at the fleet in the distance, Bai Dalang sighed with emotion: "Finally left, this mention of learning is really difficult to serve." ”

Bai Zongwang said, "Come here." ”

Bai Dalang hurriedly approached, and then shouted "ah" in pain: "Dad, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Zongwang said angrily: "No matter how difficult it is to serve the envoy, I can't wait to keep him for a few more days." This is a scholar, and Lizhou Road is the biggest. The longer he lives in our house, the better it will be for your third brother! ”

"I ...... I see. Bai Dalang covered his forehead, his expression a little aggrieved.

Bai Zongwang said to the father and son again: "These days, thank you to the two fathers-in-law for helping, otherwise it will be really difficult to serve the student well." ”

"It should." Father and son said.

Bai Zongwang asked: "Brother Yuanzhang and Shen Niangzi's marriage, why don't you let me help handle it?" ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "No need, just set a few tables." ”

However, he said that Lu Tixue returned to the county seat and stayed for another day, and then he turned around and returned to Yangzhou.

After crossing the turbulent and dangerous Golden Gorge, he took out a brush on the boat to write an article, and finally remembered the lake pen given by the father and son. I didn't take it seriously, I wrote it when I opened it, and it didn't feel right as soon as I put pen to paper.

This is a wool pen that requires a high level of calligraphy attainment.

After repeatedly writing and researching, Lu Tixue couldn't help laughing: "This big Zhu and Xiaozhu still have good goods and gifts, and I can't say anything if I don't help." ”
