Chapter 23 Letter
Xun Family.
In the study, Xun Or took out the hot paint on the envelope, and after reading it, he frowned and held his beard, thought for a while, and called out to the outside.
"I went to the side courtyard to call Zhou Xun, and I said I had something to ask him."
The servant took the order and left, and went to the secluded courtyard where Zhou Xun lived, and met Zhou Xun.
Since the Flower Festival, Zhou Xun has been living here, reading, practicing calligraphy and doing exercises.
After the county trial, the government trial will be held, and the difficulty of the questions will be further improved.
Most of the county exams tests are memory. You only need to memorize the classics and have a solid foundation, and you will be sure to get it.
When you arrive at the palace examination, you will add essays, that is, based on a sentence or paragraph drawn from the classics, as the question, the candidate uses this question to establish the idea, solve the question, explain, and write the essay.
This is an extremely test of the skills. Not those who are familiar with the meaning of classic content will fail.
There are thirteen must-do classics, twenty-six common classics, and more than three hundred reference works by predecessors...
If you want to pass the county examination, the government examination, the college examination, become a student, and achieve fame and fame of scholars, you must recite the thirteen books, and you must understand the meaning of it... If you do not, you will not be a student and will not be fame.
Although scholars are only the lowest fame and honor in the imperial examination, they are not so careless. They must have extraordinary memory.
Zhou Xun obtained a collection of questions from previous years' home test questions and answers to the top ten candidates from his teacher.
This is no different from the version sold in the bookstore outside. Each article is accompanied by a teacher's comment. This is a treatment that only personal disciples can receive.
Zhou Xun made a regular test paper every day, solved the questions more than ten times, and pondered them repeatedly, and now it has been two months.
"Practicing writing is like practicing swords. You need to exercise your wrist strength and eyesight. You both pay attention to accuracy and stability. No wonder the prince can become a swordsman."
There is an interesting story among scholars in this world. The Grand Master of the previous dynasty had a young son, Wang Mingzhi. He loved calligraphy and practiced calligraphy in the courtyard and washed ink with the pond. Over time, the pond was full of ink ponds, and the plum blossoms by the pond were dyed into ink plums.
Later, the previous dynasty was destroyed, and snakes and pythons rose up everywhere in the world. Wang Mingzhi and his family died almost in the chaos, so he raised his sword to kill people. Although he did not know swordsmanship, he used calligraphy and was very fast, accurate and stable. For a moment, he was like crazy cursive, killing through the chaos and fled out of the old Kyoto.
Later, he devoted himself to practicing swordsmanship and achieved success in three years, and became a famous swordsman.
Wang Mingzhi was originally a master of calligraphy. After practicing calligraphy for a long time, he had wrist and eyesight. He used his sword as a pen and used iron to draw silver hooks. He practiced a good swordsmanship in three years.
Although it is interesting, it is enough to explain the similarity between practicing calligraphy and practicing swords.
"The examiner checks the papers first, and first checks whether there are any corrections, dirty, or obvious pollution, and those who have lost the exam; second, look at the handwriting, and those who are not neat in the handwriting will not be included. The official clearly stipulates that the question must be answered in the style of the museum."
The style of the Pavilion is square, beautiful and elegant. There are copybooks sold in bookstores everywhere. Zhou Xun is practicing Pavilion style at this time.
"Every question has poor, good, and good grades, and if the inferior grades exceed two questions, they will not be recorded."
"If the article is not accurate and the question is not solved deeply, you will lose points. Those who lose too many points will fail."
"The county test can still be recorded half of the county test, but only one or two of them have passed the government test."
"Thousands of troops squeeze through a single-plank bridge! It's really difficult, difficult, difficult!"
A breath of white breath was exhaled, and it was spewed out three feet away, like sword energy.
The bones around the body sounded, the fascia vibrated, and there was a faint whistling sound, like a strong wind.
A layer of sweat quickly appeared on Zhou Xun's face and back of his hands, and a layer of oil stains appeared, and his body smelled a little.
After a while, Zhou Xun threw out the brush in his hand and entered the pen holder, which was exactly the same.
"At the age of nine, you can build the foundation of martial arts, build muscles and bones, and enter the saint level."
"I visualize the meaning of Shanjun, shaking the bones, fascia, and muscles, making the sound of thunder and tiger roaring. It can eliminate magazines and adjust the body shell. Over time, it can even improve the talent of martial arts and go further."
"It's a pity that it can't be used frequently. It can be refined once a month. It's too much but has no effect and will only damage the vitality."
At this time, Zhou Xun was not surprised when he smelled the smell on his body. He just called his servants to fill a tank of water, jumped in, and took a shower in the yard.
After washing away this layer of dirt, the whole person feels relaxed, his body and mind are pure, as if he has removed his constraints and is much more free.
Zhou Xun changed into a moon-white robe, wiped his hair with a dry towel, and spread it behind him. From a distance, it was so difficult to tell the difference between men and women.
The servant was waiting at the gate of the yard. When he saw Zhou Xun coming out, he went up to see him and said.
"Young Master, the master said that you should ask you to the study room if you have any questions."
Zhou Xun responded casually and went to Xun's study.
"teacher."
Xun asked with a smile when he saw him, his hair was not dry yet.
"Go to take a shower again?"
"Yes, today I practice martial arts and I am covered in oil. The disciples are not resistant to the taste."
Xun or nodded.
"You must lay a solid foundation at this time, and you should not be rushing to achieve success. While the bones and meridians are not yet fixed, there is still a lot of room for development. At this time, you can tap more potential and your skills will be about 20% faster in the future."
Although Xun may not be proficient in martial arts, he still has eyesight, so Zhou Xun naturally will not refute the rebellion.
Then, Xun or said again.
"The Lin family went back to Jinling. I heard that Lin Ruhai would be promoted soon. The salt administration preacher was sent to the ancestral home of Jinling, so the daughter of the Lin family also went to the Jinling ancestral home."
Xun may pause and look at Zhou Xun, with some regrets.
"I originally intended to get married, but Lin Ruhai declined!"
"Why can't bear to separate the father and daughter, I'm willing to live happily... Who would have asked her to pass the door now, a girl who is only eight years old?"
"This is because I don't like you boy! It's because I, Xun, don't have a big face!"
"It's all because you are a white boy!"
"Hmph! You guys want to give me a sigh of relief in this exam. You must pass the test in this office! You must also get a good ranking!"
"Among the public schools, Nanshan Academy is the best, and no one is allowed to enter the school unless it is the top three. The mountain leader Du Ruyi was my classmate back then..."
Zhou Xun heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, and replied.
"Disciples will definitely be admitted to Nanshan Academy and will not embarrass the teacher."
"Um……"
Xun or nodded.
"I know that the daughter of the Lin family is a beauty. The young man Mu Shaoai likes colors, and it is common for him to fall in love with her..."
Zhou Xun had a fever on her face.
When I saw the Three Lights True Water, I lost my past concentration and made all kinds of disobedience.
When I heard the teacher mention it, I naturally felt that all kinds of things were inappropriate.
"Fortunately, I am young and have no scruples, so I can still relax my cheeks... I will not be regarded as a disciple and ruin my reputation."
Zhou Xun secretly reflected on her.
"...but it cannot be like this in the future. No matter how good a woman's color is, it is not as good as her character. An ugly woman without salt is the foundation of her king's business. Those who achieve great things should not be moved by beautiful colors..."
This is to advise myself by taking advantage of the old story of the ancient Chu King marrying an ugly woman named Wu Yan, who does not love beauty, loves virtue.
The general idea is, don’t worry about having no good wife on the road ahead, read poetry and books in front of the window...
Also, I was vaguely dissatisfied. You are my disciple, why did you get confused when you see a little girl? It's very embarrassing.
Zhou Xun immediately bowed and bowed.
"Disciples keep their teachings in mind."
