Take a look at the mountains and small mountains, overlooking the map of Kyushu.
There is indeed some momentum!
Meng Lanshan looked at Qi Yu carefully and asked curiously: "With your age and experience, it is impossible for you to have such a profound knowledge of mountains and river geography. Who did you learn this from?"
How to answer?
Did you say it was self-made? It's obviously not logical.
Qi Yu thought for a while and then said: "I learned all these geographical knowledge in my husband's study. It's just that I added similar elements when painting."
"That's not right!" Meng Lanshan pointed to the snowy plateau in the west and said, "These inaccessible places are not in my study. How did you know about them?"
Qi Yu complained repeatedly in his heart, and suppressed his guilty conscience, saying: "There are records about Kunlun in the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". In addition, I was lucky enough to read the geographical documents of the Tubo Kingdom in my late life, so I have some knowledge of the Tubo Plateau." learn."
"That's it!" Meng Lanshan nodded suddenly, looking at him with a look that was not only kind, but also a little more pleased.
Qi Yu hurriedly took the opportunity to change the topic, and then respectfully handed over the large pen in his hand: "Sir, please give this painting a title."
"Let me inscribe the name?" Meng Lanshan's thoughts were indeed attracted.
It was an honor to give a title to the work, and Meng Lanshan was very happy. After he took over the pen, he wrote down "Dafeng Territory Map" in five large characters without thinking, with strong brushwork, soft yet strong.
Then, he changed his pen to a smaller one and wrote: Mr. Xingyan wrote on a certain year, month and day...
This... Meng Lanshan actually put his own signature?
pleasure!
Meng Lanshan was quite satisfied with this painting of mountains and rivers. He hurriedly called his housekeeper He Shun to arrange the mounting matters, and strictly gave instructions: there should be no damage at all!
Then, the two of them came to sit in the courtyard.
The maid served tea, and the two chatted while sipping the tea.
Meng Lanshan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "What is your pursuit of studying?"
"Studying is to understand reason, understanding reason is to cultivate one's character, and cultivating one's character is to be a good person." Qi Yu thought of a certain great scholar from later generations and borrowed his words.
"What about success or failure in studying?" Meng Lanshan asked again.
"If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. This has always been the belief of students studying." Qi Yu replied.
"Somewhat generous." Meng Lanshan chuckled and suddenly asked: "Do you have any words?"
"Mr. Geng made me laugh. Wan Sheng was born in a poor family. He lost his father when he was young, so no elders have ever given him a word."
In this era, names and words are different.
The first name refers to the first name, which is often called by the elders. It is disrespectful to call the younger generation directly. The word is different. Although it is often used by elders to call younger ones, it can also be used among ordinary people, and it still appears to be close.
Characters are usually given to men by their elders when they reach adulthood.
In addition to the name and character, there is also a "number" in the title. Titles are usually used by people with high status. For example, Meng Lanshan calls himself Mr. Wenzhu. This is a title suitable for younger generations to show respect.
Although Qi Yu attended a private school, he never officially became a teacher, so other than his father, there was no teacher to give him the calligraphy.
…
Qi Yu finally came to his senses and took the opportunity to beg: "Sir, please give me a calligraphy!"
This is a rare opportunity, how can you let it go?
Being given a title by Mr. Wenzhu is not only an honor, but also has another meaning, that is, being a named disciple.
Registered disciples are also disciples.
"Okay!" Meng Lanshan stroked his beard and meditated for a while, then whispered for a while and said: "I think you are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and you pursue knowledge and study things without being corrupt and imprisoned. If you may achieve something in the future, I will give you the title of Shaocheng. ."
"Shaocheng?" Qi Yu looked surprised and said hurriedly: "Younger means young; Cheng means assistant; the word Shaocheng means young and promising, and can become a useful talent. It's really wonderful!... Thank you Mr. Wenzhu for the words."
Meng Lanshan felt even happier when he saw the happy look on his face, and there was a hint of an elder's air in his raised hands.
Through this gift of words, the relationship between the two invisibly became more harmonious.
Qi Yu thought about it for a while and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for something, so he bowed and said piously: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Master is very skilled in medicine. Shaocheng has something to ask of me. I hope that Mr. Sir will take pity on you and help me."
"Oh? What's the matter? But it doesn't matter." Meng Lanshan held up his empty hand to show his displeasure.
"Shaocheng failed to live up to expectations when he was young, and his loving mother at home was heartbroken. She cried all the time, and suffered from a cloudy eye disease. I hope that my husband will use the magic of rebirth to heal his old mother for the sake of his student's filial piety. Eyes. If you accept this kindness, Shaocheng will never forget it."
My mother cried blindly for the original owner. This has always been something Qi Yu felt guilty about, and it was also a form of unfilial piety.
Now that we have such a good opportunity, we must sincerely seek it.
If I remember correctly, cataracts will be curable in future generations, but I don’t know if current medical skills can do it. As an imperial doctor, Mr. Wenzhu already represents the highest achiever in medicine in this era. If even he is helpless, he will have no choice but to give up.
Since ancient times, doctors have been paying attention to their parents' heart. No matter how bad their medical ethics are, they will not sit back and do nothing. This is the 'sincerity of great doctors' praised by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing!
"It's really commendable that Shaocheng has such filial piety. How can I not fulfill it?" Meng Lanshan praised him and said: "You said this disease is called clouds and mist moving eyes. This disease is stubborn and lingering, but it is not impossible. It can be cured. When I was young, I learned a golden needle technique to remove obstacles. Maybe I can use this technique to clear the clouds and see the sun again, so that I can see the light again."
This technique is said to have been lost, but I didn't expect that there are still people in the world who can do it.
Qi Yu was overjoyed, straightened his clothes, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Thank you sir for your kindness!"
"Get up."
Qi Yu sat sideways and chatted with the old gentleman. At a glance, he saw some strange insects breeding in the water basin next to him, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"This insect is called a leech, commonly known as a leech. It is a commonly used medicinal material that has the effect of breaking blood and removing blood stasis." Meng Lanshan explained, and then said meaningfully: "Shaocheng knows that this leech contains A great knowledge of how to deal with people."
Well? ?
Can insects be related to knowledge?
"Shaocheng is stupid and doesn't understand what he means. Please give me some advice, sir."
"Leech, it can bend and stretch. It can stand out in good times, shrink back and seek power in adversity, and can bite the target inadvertently and complete a blow. This is like the number of human life. When it gains power, it can flex its muscles and soar; but when it loses power, it can flex and stretch. You must assess the situation and protect yourself wisely. Once you encounter the opportunity to take action, never hesitate. Once you bite, you will get a bloody blow. "
These words sound objective and vivid, but if you taste them carefully, they are rich in philosophy.
"Mr. Xie's teachings must be kept in mind by Shaocheng. However, I am young and inexperienced and cannot fully understand and apply them in practice."
"Take your time!" Meng Lanshan nodded happily and said with a smile, "Confucius said: A gentleman is magnanimous. Although he said this, it does not mean that he does not use his brain when doing things. When encountering problems, you must think twice before acting. Only those who understand in their hearts can live in peace. ."
"yes!"
"The mastery of human feelings is the article, and the understanding of the world is knowledge! Every plant and tree in the world is knowledge. You can slowly realize it."
Qi Yu thought about it for a while, seemed to have some idea, and said hurriedly: "Shaocheng has written it down!"
Meng Lanshan nodded and said: "I am an old friend of the Imperial Academy's Jijiu. He once gave me a book called "Collection of Dengke Examinations". It contains questions from the college examination, the provincial examination, and the general examination. It is very suitable for you. If you want to learn how to read, I will give this book to you."
The sacrificial wine at the Imperial College?
This is a great Confucian scholar. In the words of later generations, he is comparable to a doctoral tutor. Needless to say how useful this book is.
He didn't say thank you for his kindness, but Qi Yu still worshiped him devoutly.
After finishing the painting matter, Qi Yu got up and said goodbye and returned to the apartment.
The next step is to wait for the results to be released.
The days are like years, a bit like the feeling when I was waiting for the admission notice.
It's useless to be depressed. It's better to walk around and relax. It's not easy to visit Fucheng, so you should buy some souvenirs to take back.
Now that I have money, I don’t feel panic anymore.
Qi Yu chose several gifts that he liked, some for his wife and some for me.
Qi Jing also hung out with him, but his shopping was a little different. He actually bought a few dog-skin plasters.
He explained that his father had injured his muscles and bones when he was practicing martial arts when he was young, and his body would ache every time it was cloudy and rainy. He heard from the doctor that this plaster was very effective for this disease.
Qi Yu wanted to tell him that the words of the charlatan who bought the dog-skin plaster couldn't be trusted. Two days ago, he said it was only for treating pain in the waist and legs. Why did it change to treating waist and leg pain today?
…
Finally the day came for the results to be released.
The place under the list was overcrowded and bustling.
Qi Yu was very calm this time, because Meng Lanshan said that the questions he had passed should not be big, which was a real reassurance.
Count from the beginning of the case: one, two, three...
bingo!
Still sixth!
From now on, I will be a child!
To add to the joy, Yin Jun was ranked 20th this time.
The feeling of turning over the salted fish is so good!
It's like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a June day, feeling comfortable in every pore.
Needless to say, there must be something wrong with his strategy. If his results in the first two games were not so good, he might have failed.
"Ahem...the sun is so beautiful today!" Qi Yu deliberately squeezed to Yin Jun's side and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.
"Huh? You...are actually sixth?" Yin Jun smacked his lips, seeming to understand something.
"Haha, you see, I am the one who has the last laugh, and your uncle is still your uncle!"
"Vulgar! Vicious! The villain has his way!"
Yin Jun flushed with embarrassment, flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Ah! He has a bad temper!
Qi Yu was like a victorious rooster, returning to his apartment with great pride.
After the results were released, the students stopped staying and returned to their hometowns with different moods.
Qi Jing's performance is still stable, he is still in the middle of the pack, and he is also on the list.
He happily came to say goodbye to Qi Yu, and then couldn't wait to return home, leaving a message to see you again during the college exam!
Qi Yu arranged his greetings, but did not leave directly. Instead, he came to Meng Lanshan's residence to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, he heard the concierge say that the gentleman had gone out on business and did not know when he would return.
After thinking about it, Qi Yu left a farewell letter, focusing on telling him the news of his win and expressing his gratitude again.
Now that I had enough money, there was no need to be so harsh on myself, so I found a carriage and set off directly after negotiating the price.
On the way, I kept thinking about how my mother's health was during the time she was away from home. Has the lady become beautiful again?
