After the Chinese New Year, the two governments began to be busy entertaining relatives and friends.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were busy inviting people to eat New Year's wine every day, and the upper courtyard of the hall was full of wine, and relatives and friends were in an endless stream and hurried for seven or eight days before it was over.

Of course, as Jia Huan said, the excitement is theirs, and Jia Huan can only study hard.

These banquets on the left and right are not related to him, there are male guests outside, and Jia Zheng and Jia Lian are received on the left and right, and sometimes Jia Zheng will also let Jia Baoyu accompany the guests.

Although Jia Huan is famous and gives Jia Mansion a face, there is still no chance to meet guests.

Early in the morning, the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the two mansions of Ning Rong are all lit up. On the 11th, Jia pardoned Jia's mother, and the next day, Jia Zhen invited Jia's mother, and they all went to receive it casually for half a day.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were invited to eat New Year's wine for several days, but they couldn't remember.

On the eve of the 15th, Jia's mother ordered a few tables of wine in the big flower hall, set a small play, and hung all kinds of good lights to lead the sons and nephews of Rongning Erfu to a family banquet.

Jia Jingsu didn't drink and didn't invite him. Jia Yuluo received the gift of Jia's mother, and then left. Jia Mu knew that he was here, so they went with him because they were inconvenient for each other.

Jia Yu went to his home and enjoyed the lanterns and drank with all the guests, naturally he was full of sheng songs, and his happiness was different from here.

After the fifteenth and sixteenth days, Jia Huan got up early, brought gifts, and went to Zhao's mansion.

As a result, it was not until noon that the master Zhao Heng and the master returned to the master.

Jia Huan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to the master and his wife.

Zhao Heng asked, "Huan'er, when did you come?" ”

Jia Huan smiled: "Master, I have only been here for a long time. ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but say, "I know you, you must have come over early in the morning." You kid, you can't help but be more honest, so you can send someone to guard here, so that you don't have to wait for half a day in vain. ”

Jia Huan raised a book of essays in his hand and said, "Master, it's not in vain, I've memorized a book here." ”

Jia Huan's words provoked Zhao Heng to laugh.

Next, Jia Huan helped to pack Zhao Heng's luggage.

Zhao Heng washed up and cleaned up, and called Jia Huan to the study.

Zhao Heng said: "Huan'er, I said a few years ago, I will take the test for you when I come back." If you don't work hard during the Chinese New Year, you will be punished. ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, the disciple does not dare to be lazy for a day, but asks the master to take the school. If the disciple can't answer, let the master punish him. ”

Next, Zhao Heng really carefully tested Jia Huan.

Jia Huan's answer was fluent, without a trace of dullness, it can be seen that during the Chinese New Year, he really worked hard, and Zhao Heng was very satisfied with this.

After the school examination, Jia Huan took out his own essays and said, "Master, this is the question I asked Sister Lin to give me, and I tried to write a few essays. ”

"Sister Lin said that I didn't write well, but she didn't know what was bad, and asked the master for advice."

Zhao Heng asked in surprise, "Oh? You've already tried to write a newsletter? ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "The disciple doesn't know how to write, but he just tried to write a few articles, and asked the master for advice." ”

Zhao Heng nodded, which articles did he take from Jia Huan's hand, and then he glanced at ten lines, and in a short time, he finished reading the five articles picked out by Jia Huan.

After looking at it, Zhao Heng said speechlessly: "Hey, you are copying it raw!" ”

Sister Lin has never read the Anthology of the Times, so she doesn't know the truth about her plagiarism.

But the master must have seen it, and sure enough, he could see it at a glance.

Jia Huan's face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't help but explain: "Master, the disciple has never written an article, and he is not good at choosing words and making sentences, so he has no choice but to learn one or two from the excellent texts." ”

Zhao Heng said patiently: "Huan'er, if you do this, you can certainly cope with the exam, but it will not benefit you after all, and it is just to cope with the exam." To do knowledge, you also need to be patient. ”

"As a teacher's suggestion, you still have to read more books for two or three years, there are more books, and there is ink in your belly, so you will naturally choose words and make sentences."

Regarding Zhao Heng's words, Jia Huan actually couldn't agree.

After thinking about it, Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Master, do you think that no matter how well the Bagu text is written, after becoming an official, will it be of any use to deal with government affairs and govern the country?" ”

"After the master was in high school, did he still write an eight-strand essay? The disciple secretly thought that Baguwen was just a stepping stone for the imperial examination, and after passing the examination, this stepping stone was useless. ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Huan couldn't help but secretly look at Zhao Heng.

If the master is a defender and criticizes him, then Jia Huan will never dare to say this next time.

However, his learning progress will also be hindered.

Fortunately, after listening to Jia Huan's words, Zhao Heng fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhao Heng scolded with a smile: "You kid, you are eager for quick success and quick profit, and you are insulting to Sven." But when you think about it, it's still a bit crooked. ”

"After becoming an official, not only did the Bagu Wen become a stepping stone and was shelved in the cabinet, it was the Four Books and Five Classics, and there were not many that could really be used."

"Being an official and being a scholar are two completely different things."

"However, even so, you are in a hurry to learn composition now. As a teacher, I still think that you will end up in another year, and it will be much safer. ”

Jia Huan sighed and said, "Master, it's not that the disciple is really so eager for quick success, it's really a family...... The disciple still wants to give it a try this year. ”

Jia Huan is the concubine of Jiafu, and I heard that the treatment on weekdays is not very good.

Of course, half of the concubines in this world are afraid that half of them will be treated like this.

Seriously speaking, Jia Huan's treatment of this concubine is not too bad.

However, since Jia Huan said so, he must have his difficulties.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but say: "Okay, since you want to end up, whoever is the teacher will help you once." ”

"The county examination in February is only the first step in the imperial examination, and it will not be too tricky. Time is running out. But if the article wants to be fast-tracked, there are also some opportunities. ”

"But the premise is that you have to memorize enough articles, and only when you have a large number of articles in your stomach can you make splendid articles."

Jia Huan hurriedly said, "Master, the disciple has memorized two or three hundred articles so far. Now I can memorize about 10 articles a day, I don't know if it's enough? If it is not enough, the disciple can memorize more. ”

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Zhao Heng glanced at Jia Huan with strange eyes.

As a disciple of his own, he is really well-read and strong-minded!

If this is the case, then before the exam, he should be able to memorize five or six hundred articles, just to cope with one county exam, it is enough.

Zhao Heng said: "The number is enough, and there is no need to carry more." So, next, the master will teach you how to write a good essay. ”

Next, Zhao Heng taught Jia Huan his skills.
