Be a master through ancient times

It was already the end of the year, and Chu Ci and the two agreed to meet again on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and then they separated.

Chuci first went to the Hanmo Bookstore, handed over the illustration template of the last chapter, and chatted with the shopkeeper Lu about the printing of the collection, and then left with the money he got.

Because he bought a lot of things last time and went home, and when he asked the price at the last time, he seemed to pay a few cents more, so Chu Ci has been deprived of the right to shop.Besides, it is already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's goods at home should have been prepared long ago.

After returning home, it was busy for a few days, and it was the first time for Chu Ci to have such a New Year.Whether it's sweeping the dust, putting up spring couplets on window grilles, or eating freshly fried meatballs with Chu Xiaoyuan, it's all so fresh.

In the past, during Chinese New Year in his family, the whole family went to the hotel to ask for a table of New Year’s Eve dinner. After eating, they started chatting, and the chatting would turn to their respective fields, and then turned into a heated discussion.

Sometimes Chu Ci thinks, maybe they hope that the one sitting beside them is their student.In this way, you can write down what they just discussed, and you can participate in their topics without any obstacles.

In fact, when Chu Ci was in high school, he was also good at science, so he chose liberal arts in order to have more conversations with them.Fortunately, although he couldn't talk more about it later, he gradually fell in love with liberal arts while studying.

Now they are sitting together as a family, looking at the snowflakes outside the window, drinking some wine, telling two jokes, and looking forward to the bright future, how wonderful it is.

After the Chinese New Year, there are various visits to relatives and friends.The Chu family has a simple population. In the second year of junior high, Aunt Chu brought her husband and children to pay New Year's greetings, and Chu Ci listened to his nagging.What he said was still so far-fetched, and he never forgot to show off how many capable people he knew.

The Chu family is used to it, including Chu Ci's cousin and cousins, they all go in the left ear and out the right ear, and they obviously find it annoying.The Chu family entertained their family with good tea and food, and then politely sent him away.

In the third day of junior high school, their family went to their uncle's house.The two aunts also set up a large table of dishes. Although they were not expensive, they tasted very good.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Chu Guang took Shen Xiuniang and Chu Xiaoyuan to Shen's house to pay New Year's greetings, and they would stay for a few more days.Chu Ci was supposed to go to Master Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings, but Master Qin spends the New Year at Yue's house in the prefecture city every year. He had already said that Chu Ci would go to the county school to visit him after the New Year.

So today, only their mother and son are left in the family.

Chu's mother made a lot of friends, and followed a large group of old ladies to spend the New Year's Eve sitting around at one house and another, forgetting about Chu Ci.

Chu Ci actually wanted to communicate with the young people in the village, but he searched through his memory, but couldn't find any friends that the original owner had made in the village, so he could only give up in resentment.Fortunately, Qin Zhao came to their village to pay New Year's greetings, so in the next few days, he followed Qin Zhao all over the mountains.

Most animals in winter are relatively clumsy, Chu Ci went with him for a few days, and even brought back a hare with his own hands.That night, the hare was eaten by their family.

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Chu Ci bid farewell to his family, stepped on the mule cart that came to pick him up, and went to the Zhang family.

Zhang Wenhai and Fang Jinyang greeted Chu Ci immediately when they saw Chu Ci, and the three of them handed over each other and chatted for a while.After entering the study, Zhang Wenhai wanted to say something, so he heard Chu Ci say:

"Brother Kuo, Brother Jinyang, let's take out the homework you assigned earlier. I haven't seen you for more than ten days. I think the two of you must have made a lot of progress."

Zhang Wenhai's smile froze on his face. He unconsciously looked at Fang Jinyang, and found that he had already gone to pick up his homework. He couldn't help but whimpered in his heart. He also walked to his desk and brought a stack of papers.

Chu Ci took Fang Jinyang's homework, then flipped through it page by page, and then showed a satisfied smile, "Brother Jinyang really worked very hard, and all these homework were done well, just here, I need to avoid it, use the next word instead .”

In ancient times, when writing articles, it was necessary to "taboo for the venerable, the taboo for the relatives, and the taboo for the sage". If you do not pay attention to avoiding the taboo, you will lose your fame at the slightest, and you will fall into a literary prison if you are serious.

Today, His Majesty taboos the taboo, there is a sentence in Fang Jinyang's article "Jiaojiao is like the light of the bright moon", maybe the writing is fluent, and he forgot to avoid the taboo for a while.

Fang Jinyang looked scared, "Thank you brother Chu for your advice, I almost committed a big taboo, it really shouldn't be!"

"No problem, just memorize the names of the emperors of this dynasty by heart."

After checking Fang Jinyang's homework, Chu Ci gave him another question to ponder, and then began to read Zhang Wenhai's.

While watching, he unconsciously tapped the table with his knuckles, and Zhang Wenhai's little heart also kept beating "bang bang bang" following his beating.

After Chu Ci finished reading, he showed a warm smile to Zhang Wenhai.

"Brother Kuo's poems about plums and snow are really well written, especially this line 'the spring breeze doesn't understand the lovesickness', which seems particularly tender. It must be that a good thing is coming."

Zhang Wenhai laughed awkwardly. He was already in his prime, and his family had just started looking for a wife and room for him. He "blossomed from an old tree", and he really couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"However, what do the few sentences in this article mean? Can you please explain a little or two for me, Brother Kuo?"

Chu Ci circled a few places with a vermilion pen, here are some allusions, 90.00% of which may be Zhang Wenhai's own nonsense, because Chu Ci has never seen it anywhere.

Just like when his former students wrote essays, they all liked to quote famous quotes in the first sentence. Later, all kinds of "Wozki Schott" came out, and sometimes they could really get away with it, which is really ironic.

Zhang Wenhai hesitated and couldn't speak. There have been many guests at home these days. Every time he wanted to study, he would be interrupted, so he could only write quickly and had no time to be careful. pondering.

What appeared in it, "Meng Gong was lying on the couch in the past, and suddenly saw a white-fronted worm with hanging eyes" were actually all his dreams...

"How about it, Brother Jinyang is enough to finish that one article today, Brother Kuo, you only need to finish three articles, how about it?"

Zhang Wenhai felt relieved, and immediately nodded in agreement. When he took the question from Chuci, he almost cried out.

All are split questions and intercept questions!And the cut is very open!He clearly saw that Jinyang's question was a big one, which was directly intercepted from a paragraph of the article.

It seems that Brother Chu has no intention of forgiving him, woohoo...

When Chu Ci finished checking the two people's homework, he also started to finish his own.Master Qin assigned him a poem a day, and he never slack off.

At the beginning, his poems were filled with rhymes first, and then he began to compose them mechanically.The verses written look decent, but in fact they are artificial and nonsense.

But after writing a lot, he actually had some inspiration, and occasionally a sentence or two came at his fingertips, the more he tasted, the more flavorful he was.On the day when he had the most inspiration, he once wrote three poems in one breath, all of which were about folk customs. Although they look simple, they are full of connotations.

The poems he wrote today are also written out of feelings. They are about children who love to play and fight wits and courage with their husbands.Of course, the prototypes in the poem are naturally Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhang Wenhai.

A few days later, when the Lantern Festival was held on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Chu Ci brought all the relatives in the family to the town for a night of lantern festivals.

He declined Zhang Wenhai's invitation, and opened three rooms in the inn for a family reunion.

After sending them out the next day, Chuci went back to Zhang's house, and happened to meet Huzi, the assistant of the book store, at the door.

"Chu Xiucai, you're back. The shopkeeper has something to do with you, so come with me." After finishing speaking, he was about to rush out.

"What's the rush?" Chu Ci wondered, what was the rush?Is it possible that someone wants a large illustration?

"You will know when you come with me, this is a good thing!"

Chu Ci had a feeling in his heart, he quickened his pace, followed behind Hu Zi, and came to the Hanmo Bookstore.

"Chu Xiucai, please on the second floor."

Chu Ci stepped onto the second floor and saw several people in the room.Except for shopkeeper Lu, he didn't know anyone else.

"Chu Xiucai, you're here. Allow me to introduce you. This is Zhang Shuban under Mr. Clerk, and the two county bookstore managers Huang and Qi. This is Master Xu who bought illustrations last time."

Chu Ci frowned secretly, what are these people doing here?Especially this Zhang Shuban, if he is combined with the modern officialdom, he can be regarded as the director of the office. How could he come to such a small bookstore?There are also Guanshi Huang and Guanshi Qi, they must be the managers of the publishing house, only small bookstores hold their positions, how come they come together?

The weirdest thing was that Mr. Xu, who kept staring at him with deep meaning in his eyes.

Of course, the thoughts in my mind were only for a moment. In the eyes of everyone, this scholar immediately saluted and greeted everyone after listening to shopkeeper Lu's introduction. .

"Sure enough, a hero is a boy. After reviewing your question collection, the clerk immediately praised it. He said that someone with great talent must be able to come up with these questions. Out of curiosity, the old man came to the door. I hope you don't mind."

"Zhang Shuban won the award. The boy is not talented. He just collected the words of the sages and put them into one volume. He is really not a great talent."

"Haha, you are too modest. After the clerk read the collection of questions, he submitted it to the old parents. The old parents were from Jiayou's 38-year-old Jinshi. Even he said yes, how can there be no reason for it? ? I came here today to discuss something with you. "

"It's okay to say it at the office of the book, the boy is all ears."

"The old parents used to be deeply worried about the students in this county. Looking around the entire Ganzhou Prefecture, there are endless talented people, and the number of scholars and candidates is increasing year by year. Only in our Yuanshan County, the number of scholars who passed the examination has actually decreased year by year. Every time I think about this, my old parents will weep secretly, saying that it is because they have no way to govern the county that they allow talented people to be buried among the crowd."

Zhang Shuban sighed, and several other people also looked sad, as if they were all sad for the county magistrate's words.Chu Ci also took advantage of the situation to make a sigh.He really wants those modern people who think they can blow rainbow farts to come and see what a real veteran in the workplace is.

"But a few days ago, the old parents read your collection of questions, and they felt very comforted, saying that if there are more talents like you in the county, why worry about Yuanshan County's prosperity? As long as you write this question Those students must be overjoyed if they are voted in the whole county, and the number of scholars this year will also increase."

Zhang Shuban's face was bright with sunshine, and the others were also like rainbows after the rain. Such face-changing skills made people have to marvel at them.

Hearing this, Chu Ci finally understood. It turned out that the county magistrate had taken a fancy to his collection of topics, and wanted to publish it within the county, and perhaps also wanted the naming rights.

Because if the students are really lucky enough to pass the exam after completing the test set, they will naturally be grateful.If they flipped through the book again and saw the county magistrate's name appearing in the editor-in-chief column, why would they worry about being unanimous?

Chu Ci thought about it carefully in his heart, and felt that this matter was beneficial to him and not harmful. The most he could do was to rank his name among the editors. It was absolutely impossible for a county magistrate to completely obliterate his contribution.Moreover, the county magistrate publishes it himself, and the publishing fee will definitely continue to flow.

Chu Ci sternly said: "It's my luck to be able to share the worries of the old parents. This collection of questions will be handled by the old parents at the sole discretion, and the boy will have nothing to say."

What he meant was, just take it away as long as you want, and I promise to be tight-lipped and not leak any news.

Zhang Shuban and the others looked at each other and smiled. If they were so sensible, then things would be easy to handle.

"I heard that you named this collection of questions "Ci Hai"?"

"The kid just chose a random name on a whim, and I will ask my old parents to name it when the time comes."

"Well, I will ask my old parents to show me this matter. It's almost noon now, why don't I let the old man be the host, please have a taste of this Ping'an Town delicacy?"

Shopkeeper Lu answered immediately: "Where do you need to be the host? If you don't dislike it, the villain has already reserved a table at Zuixianglou, and I hope you can come to see me."

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Lu is too enthusiastic. Then we will be disrespectful."

A group of people rushed towards the Zuixiang Tower. In front of the Zuixiang Tower, a government servant from the town was already waiting there.

"My lords are well, our mayor is already waiting inside."

A few people went upstairs, and they saw Mayor Chen standing in the box. As soon as he saw Zhang Shuban, he said: "Mr. Zhang is rarely here, why don't you let someone tell you? How dare you tell me to neglect the distinguished guest?" "

"Haha, Lao Chen, you are too polite. I just didn't want to mobilize the crowd, so I kept it from you. Who would have thought that your ears are too sharp, so you didn't hide it. I had dinner with Wang Jue a few days ago, and he also mentioned You, it is said that the old parents praised you for your good governance, and there is a capable person in the town."

As the mayor of a town, Chen Zhou didn't have to be so polite.It is true that Zhang Shuban is the father-in-law of Wang Xiancheng, the immediate boss of the second in command in the county, shouldn't he be respectful?

"My old parents mentioned me?" Mayor Chen was overwhelmed with flattery, "I'm so ashamed to thank you for forgetting the old man. I don't know who can make him praise me so much?"

"Here, this is Chu Xiucai."
