Chapter 81: The Scholars Examination

Although more and more people come to Lu's Thatched Cottage to study, so that when people see a familiar figure, they often have to worry about recalling the name of that person. However, the first ten disciples of Lu's Thatched Cottage will definitely be kept in mind by everyone. Among them, Du Shiyi is definitely not the most eye-catching, but she is the easiest to remember.

First, it is the thread-bound books that have been popular in Lu's thatched cottage, second, it is the strange-style furniture in his room, especially the seats that he calls him an armchair. Third,...

That is, he went down the mountain the most times, and whenever he came back, he always won the awe of the idle people, who didn't dare to get too close to him, and laughed!

This time, the same was true. Lu Hong looked at Du Shiyi personally rolling his sleeves and grinding ink with interest until the stone inkstone had already accumulated a small amount. He took the pen handed over by Lu Wangzhi, and dipped it ink and outlined a few strokes on the vine paper of a square size. But after a little effort, he put down his pen and looked at the pine tree that had already appeared on the paper. He said thoughtfully: "The beginning of the pen is impeccable, and this color is the best for painting ink and water landscapes. And..."

He suddenly lowered his body, almost put his eyes on the paper, looked at it for a while before straightening his waist again: "And the ink color is more uniform and full... However, the Shiyilang was too anxious just now, and almost ruined my Guozhou tribute ink!"

When Lu Hong said this, Cui Jianxuan, who was standing aside, suddenly lowered his head guiltily. Lu Wangzhi took the opportunity to smile and said, "Cui Shiyilang has been frustrated for a day or two. Even if he gets into trouble, he is just an inkstone. If you are so careless in the future, you will have to cause a big disaster. In this way, I will give you a task. Now that the students in Caotang come and go every day, your third senior brother is so busy that he is almost unstuck. You can help him. The daily attendance and the names and hometown records of all students are under your control. After all, these must be sent to Dengfeng County Party in time."

Cui Jianxuan didn't expect to see such a task when he saw the excitement, and he took a breath. He hurriedly winked at Du Shiyi, hoping that he would help him to help him, but before Du Shiyi could see his anxious expression, Lu Hong had already seen it, and he added another sentence at the moment.

"Shiyilang, what your senior brother said is good. You should try to make a good deal of your character. Although these things are trivial, they have different rules. You should practice them slowly first."

The eldest brother said this, and now the teacher said this, Cui Jianxuan had to agree dejectedly, and before leaving the house, he gave Du Shiyi a resentful look. When he left, Lu Wangzhi found an excuse casually and was also very lucky. At this time, Lu Hong asked Du Shiyi thoughtfully: "Shijiulang, you have been studying hard how to make ink, not just for money, right?"

In front of Lu Hong, Du Shiyi was always calm. In the eyes of an old man who was also from a famous family, who was accustomed to the cold and cold world of the world, and then chose to live in seclusion on the road, many of his plans could not be hidden at all - just like the reason why he once claimed that he would not use a book to study, but was exposed by Cui Jianxuan's big mouth in a moment.

At this moment, he sat on the simple seat opposite Lu Hong's gesture, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu is too proud of me. Even Thirteen Niang is so kind to me, I am in the Cui House in Dongdu. There is only one uncle in the family, so I can't help but bow my waist for five dou of rice."

"But your technique is too troublesome." Lu Honghan smiled and stroked his beard, and suddenly asked directly, "Shijiulang, when you first learned from me, you said that you should learn historical books, study law, and study test fu. The first two things you were diligent and had strong comprehension. Now you have completed the historical conversation and learned the law. The next item has been greatly improved over the past two years. If you let others read the fu, no one would say anything else. However, the test fu is limited to the limit of rhymes. Although it is popular in private tests, the only thing that can be used is the Jinshi. Are you planning to take the Jinshi?

Du Shiyi did not expect Lu Hong to reveal this directly. After a moment of silence, he bowed and said, "Yes, the disciple has had this intention since that year. Although the disciples of the poem can do it, they cannot enjoy the words and sentences. It is too difficult to be outstanding. The disciple lived in the mountains for several years, but his desire for fame and fortune has not yet been destroyed. He cannot study hard like the elder brother and the third brother..."

"I don't want to be an official, but I have never said that you are not allowed to become an official. Besides, everyone has their own ambitions, how can you force it?"

Lu Hong laughed silently and interrupted Du Shiyi casually, then said: "When I met the saint at the beginning of the year, I also said to the saints. If a few disciples can produce talents of heaven and earth, and can assist the emperor and govern the country in the future, then I will be satisfied as a teacher. You are diligent and studious, and you will be able to compassionate with the people's livelihood at the age of thirteen. Then you will be more sympathetic to other poor students in the tang. The handwritten copies you have accumulated are often lent to them, and you will often discuss them with them when you ask for advice. You don't have to be humble, but you will see the big ones from the small. If you can become an official in the future, you will be at least a benefit to the official!"

"Master Lu, if I continue, I will feel ashamed."

Du Shiyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing a childish smile on Lu Hong's face, he realized that the teacher was actually teasing him, and he couldn't help laughing and crying.

However, Lu Hong said seriously: "But, the test fu I taught you before can only be said to be a private test fu, not a test fu for the Jinshi. The second essay test fu for the Jinshi exam is the crown of the crown, and the grand opening and closing are magnificent, but the limited rhyme is restricted. The rhyme is mostly used as rhymes. Fortunately, sometimes it needs to be ordered, sometimes it does not need to be ordered. You are proficient in historical books, so all the allusions from ancient times to the present can be included in the test fu, which is the biggest advantage for you. In addition, next year, the essay test will be tested, and the year after that may be the test fu. As for the Mingzhen Praise Theory, it has not been tested for many years. From tomorrow on, you will be a test fu every two days, and I will comment on it one by one..."

Although it was not the first time Lu Hong taught himself to test the essay, Dun Dun's teachings were still unique as it is now. Therefore, Du Shiyi sat upright and listened carefully, listening to Lu Hong's extensive quotations. From the Jingzhao Prefecture and Tonghua Prefectures and even the test questions for the annual examinations, he skillfully recited the well-circulated famous test essays, and often picked out the wonderful analysis of him word by word. He was becoming more and more focused. Finally, he discussed the sentence format with Lu Hong. Even when the two people outside the house opened curtains and looked inward, he was still unaware of it.

This lecture lasted for two full hours. Lu Hong was concentrating and Du Shiyi was concentrating. At the end, Pei Ning, who had quietly come to see him three or four times, couldn't help it. He opened the curtain and went in and coughed heavily. Seeing that neither teacher nor student responded, he raised his voice and coughed heavily again, and finally gained four gazes looking at him.

"When is it?" Lu Hong asked, then he heard Du Shiyi's stomach rumbling, and found that the sky was completely dark. He couldn't help laughing, "It's really fun to forget hunger... OK, it's not enough to talk about these things a day. Shijiulang, let's go to sacrifice to the Wudian Temple first, and then talk about it in detail these days! I have collected a lot of trial tributes from the age of the Queen of Heaven, so you might as well copy and ponder!"

The dinner was too late. When the hungry Du Shiyi finally filled her stomach and returned to the thatched hut to rest, she saw Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning standing at the door of the thatched hut.

At this moment, the bright moon hangs high in the night sky, but it is hard to hide the bright starlight. The mountains have already quieted down, with insects roaring and night breezes. Many of the thatched houses have turned off the lights, which shows that the people who have worked hard to study during the day have already fallen asleep. In the thatched house behind Lu Wangzhi, Cui Jianxuan can be vaguely heard of sleeplessly. Lu Wangzhi stands with his clothes and open arms. His face, which always smiles, is now rare and serious, and Pei Ning's cold face seems to be even colder.

The second senior brother Song Shen is humble and the best to deal with, while Lu Wangzhi seems casual and casual, but in fact he has a clear account in his heart. Not to mention Pei Ning, there are currently hundreds of people in the mountains, and almost no one is afraid of him. Therefore, facing this scene, Du Shiyi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and after thinking about it, he didn't think that he had made any mistakes. Then he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Big Brother, Third Brother."

"Hello, junior brother!" Lu Wangzhi smiled and hugged his hands, but the next sentence was completely inconsistent with the first sentence, "When are you going to quit and go down the mountain?"

Seeing Du Shiyi's words to Lu Wangyi were confused, Pei Ning couldn't help but glance at Lu Wangyi's eyes unhappily, and then said lightly: "You can just pretend that you didn't hear what your elder brother said. You and I have only been learning pipa for half a year, but you and Cui Shiyilang's three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. You are diligent in learning and practicing hard, and with a very high talent, I'm afraid you can now surpass your superiority. I've heard what Master Lu teaches you today. I'm not good at trying fu, so I only have one thing for you."

After taking the volume of things handed over by Pei Ning, Du Shiyi hesitated for a moment before opening it. Then the moon shone brightly. He recognized that it was a curly score. He immediately looked up, but Pei Ning still said calmly: "These are some pipa music scores I have collected over the years and have new works. Since you can create new songs at Duke Bi's night banquet, these things should be helpful to you. What's more, I've never used these music scores."

Being polite to Pei Ning will only make him angry, so Du Shiyi no longer politely and put it in his arms. When Pei Ning left without looking back, Lu Wangzhi stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Since Master Lu has high hopes for his junior brother, you have to work harder to make more efforts. In the future, we have hundreds of people in the mountains, and we will all be entrusted to you to take care of you!"

Without waiting for Du Shiyi to agree or object, he happily got off the bamboo stairs in front of the house. When he arrived beside Du Shiyi, he whispered: "Sanlang is not very interested in official career. I am so kind that if I don't cause trouble outside, Master Lu will be praised. The second and fourth brothers are all from poor families. They seem to be not enthusiastic about the future of the official career, but the sixth brothers are mean. Although the emperor has a royal title, he can't resist the changes in government orders. Since you have this intention, Master Lu promises that we, the senior brothers, will naturally do our best to help you."
