Xie Kun saw the boy's face changed drastically and knew that he had figured out the joints, so he smiled and said: "Don't think so much. Although Fengfang has a bad reputation in Shilin, you are not even a scholar now. He I won’t let my daughter marry you!”
Xu He cried in despair. He was the head of the county case. It was summer and the Taoist examination would come soon. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely not be able to escape his honor as a student.
At that time, if Fengfang comes to find him, and Xu Dai uses the name of the big clan to suppress him, will he marry or not?
Sorry!
Xie Kun was scratching his head after hearing Xu He's worries. In these days, the imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the countryside, the patriarch of the clan was like heaven or God. Anyone who disobeyed the clan patriarch should forget about it.
"When the time comes, let your teacher talk to your uncle!" Xie Kun could only comfort Xu He.
When Xu He heard this, he knew that as of now, he could only hug County Magistrate Li's thigh tightly, and it would be useless to think too much.
Xie Kun said at this time: "Although this Fengfang has shortcomings in virtue, the "Commentaries on Mao's Poems" given to you is still very precious. You happen to have no selected scriptures, and now it seems that "Poetry" is a good choice!"
It was related to his imperial examination plan, Xu He quickly calmed down and listened to Xie Kun's explanation.
"The most important scientific examination in the imperial dynasty is the Four Books and Five Classics. The text and meaning of the classics are based on the tone of the ancients. The style and use are paired together, which is called the eight-part essay, commonly known as [Zhiyi]."
"The Book of Songs is easy to understand, not large in length, and its rhyme form is easy to recite. It is often quoted from the Four Books. It is rich in literary talent, and practicing it will also be helpful for later poetry writing."
"So during the reign of Emperor Zhizheng, scholars often studied the Book of Songs, and the Book of Songs has advantages over you in terms of family study, teachers and friends, and location!"
Xu He was surprised when he heard this and said, "Uncle and master, are you?"
Xie Kun nodded: "Yes, our scriptures are all the Book of Songs!"
"And Nantong Prefecture and Changshu, not far from your Hailing, are both well-known hometowns of "Poetry". When the provincial examination comes, there will definitely be many scholars in the same subject studying "The Book of Songs". You can learn from each other when the time comes!" "
"Furthermore, your Xu family relies on "Poetry" to pass down your family history. If you don't learn "Poetry", your uncle will not be able to get through it!"
Xu He really didn't expect this level.
However, Xie Kun reminded me that this was really the case.
If you, a member of the Xu clan, do not practice the family tradition, outsiders will definitely think that the big clan of the Xu family is too precious and bullies the younger clan. Do you think Xu Song and Xu Dai are shameless?
Okay, that’s it for now, choose one of the five, and it becomes the only answer.
Even if "The Book of Songs" is the most popular classic among candidates, the competition pressure is huge, but I am in a world where I have no choice!
After selecting the classics, Xie Kun officially began to teach Xu He how to read.
But before studying, Xie Kun asked Xu He an unexpected question: "Your teacher is a Jinshi, and I am just a scholar. Do you think I am qualified to teach you?"
Send a proposition.
Xu He thought for a moment and then replied: "Since the teacher asked me to study with my uncle, it means that the teacher also admires my uncle's knowledge."
Xie Kun chuckled and tapped Xu He with his hand: "You treacherous boy, you can't offend me!"
Xu He touched his nose and chuckled.
Xie Kun said seriously at this time: "Actually, with my knowledge, I want to be a Jinshi..."
Having said this, he turned his palm over and continued: "Easy as a palm!"
"Just pretend!" Xu He didn't believe it!
Xie Kun smiled, as if he knew that Xu He didn't believe it, and then said to Xu He: "Actually, when your teacher and I took the same subject examination, Jingyi did very well. Although I dare not say that I will be the first in high school, a Jinshi can't escape. .”
"Then..." Seeing that he was serious, Xu He couldn't help but believe it.
"The bad thing is the [transcription]!" Xie Kun looked constipated.
The so-called "transcription" means that after the article is completed, it is copied from the scratch paper to the test paper.
When transcribing, the calligraphy must be regular and not sloppy.
There is a special term for making drafts on scratch paper in this life called "drafting after the volume".
The text on the scratch paper does not have to match the exact text on the test paper, and generally no one reads the scratch paper.
But sometimes when encountering serious examiners, they will compare the draft with the text to find out whether there are any clues of cheating.
Xie Kun and his colleagues took a test in their subject called "I am not tempted at forty".
Xie Kun said: "Before the exam, I heard that the examiner had just taken a concubine with two wives, so I wrote a few jokes on the draft paper to make fun of him. I thought it would not be read, but the examiner happened to draw a few copies. You need to read the draft of the paper, and my draft is among them..."
Xu He was speechless when he heard this: "Uncle, what did you write on the draft that made the examiner dismiss you?"
Xie Kun suddenly looked embarrassed and said: "Under the bright sun, there are ten thousand taels of gold; when people are deeper and quieter, there is a pair of beauties. I wonder if the examiner's heart is still moving?"
"Hahahaha!" Xu He almost laughed.
Unexpectedly, Xie Kun, this cool and handsome uncle, turned out to be a narrow-minded man!
Xie Kun blushed and said: "The key is that I was still writing thirty-nine [actions] on the draft paper..."
Thirty-nine [movement]...
Just one short of forty.
Doesn't this just fit the title of the article "I am not tempted at 40"?
"Hahahaha!" Xu He felt that his uncle was a wonderful person.
He was born at the wrong time. If in future generations, Xie Kun would definitely be the joker in front of the little sister in the club.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xie Kun was so embarrassed by Xu He's laughter that he coughed a few times to bring the scene back.
"Do you know who the examiner of that subject is?" Xie Kun said.
Xu He shook his head.
"It's none other than the current chief assistant...Qin Yan!"
When Xu He heard this, he stopped laughing.
Sure enough, Xie Kun continued: "If I do it again, I will do it again. I, Xie Ziyu, just want the world to know that our chief minister is glamorous on the outside, but on the inside he is flattering, blocking his words, selling his official position, and having bad personal ethics. , a person who is about to be buried, still has a concubine, and still has two concubines, how shameless!"
Xu He was dumbfounded. If you were to go against the big boss of the day, wouldn't they use some means to help you?
There are means.
"Qin Yan was furious after seeing the manuscript paper. Not only did he reject my paper, he also sent my academic status back to Shandong after the exam, and asked the academic officer to cancel my academic merit!" Xie Kun said lightly.
Xu He was shocked again. Xie Kun was a scholar. This honor was already a foothold in the bureaucracy. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was cancelled?
When Xie Kun said this, his resentment seemed to subside a little, and he said warmly: "Fortunately, the great master who raised the academic officer is a member of my generation, and he resisted Qin Yan's order. Qin Yan was embarrassed to make what I wrote to the public, so my Only the meritorious service can be preserved! But as long as Qin Yan is here, I will never even think about becoming a Jinshi!"
In the words just mentioned, Xu He paid attention when he heard [a man of my generation].
"Have the uncle and the grand master known each other before?" Xu He asked.
Xie Kun shook his head: "I've never seen it before."
"Then why did he help you?"
Xie Kun smiled mysteriously: "For you now, knowing this is of no use. Let's pass the exam first and then talk about it!"
Cut~~~~~
If you don’t want to say it, just say it!
