Be a master through ancient times

Steward Xu also saw Chu Ci, he smiled at Chu Ci, and then looked at his young master as he bowed to his teacher.so cute!Exactly the same as the young master before.

Mr. Shen was about 25 or [-] years old. After he gave a lecture, he asked Zhong Liyu to back off first.Then let the two of them come forward.

Under Mr. Shen's watchful eyes, Chu Xiaoyuan took a step forward, clasped his hands together and saluted, and said, "Student Chu Yuan, see you sir."

"I'm not busy yet. I still have a few questions to test you. If you answer it, I can accept you."

Zhong Liyu also went through this experience just now. He has a relatively solid foundation. He has memorized the Three Character Classic and Disciple Rules by heart, he is very familiar with Qian Family Poems, and he has also started to get in touch with Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Prose, and Qionglin for Children.

Chu Xiaoyuan was a little uneasy. He only followed his uncle to recognize some characters and read a little. He wondered if he could answer the husband's question.

Chu Ci pushed him forward, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, you can answer as much as you can, remember not to hide or play tricks."

"En." Chu Xiaoyuan nodded, and then turned to Mr. Shen: "Please ask the question, I'm ready."

"Recite the first paragraph of the Disciple Rules to me."

When Chu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed, he opened his mouth and said, "Disciple rules, sages' instruction. Filial piety is the first, and faith is the second. Love everyone, and relatives. If you have spare energy, study literature."

Mr. Shen nodded and asked: "What is it, firstly, filial piety, secondly, sincerity?"

"Hmm... Uncle said, these two sentences mean that the sage taught us to be filial to our parents at home, to respect our teachers when we go out, and to be honest in doing things." Chu Xiaoyuan recalled, and then said.

"Recite the first verse of the Three Character Classic to me again."

Chu Xiaoyuan was secretly delighted, he seemed to be able to do this, so he recited aloud with his little hands behind his back: "At the beginning of a person, one's nature is good... Rong is four years old, can make pears, younger brothers grow up, and be prophets..."

"You recited it very well." Mr. Shen nodded with a smile, and then he asked another question.

"Kong Rong gave up pears at the age of four, and the world praises them. If I said that only one person between you and him can enter the school today, would you be willing to give him this opportunity?"

Chu Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes and turned to look at Zhong Liyu who was on the side. Zhong Liyu also looked at him nervously, for fear that the little brother would not let him go and he would not be able to enter school.

Chu Ci's face was a little cold. He looked at Mr. Shen, but saw Mr. Shen looking back at him with a smile, his eyes were full of calm, and he didn't seem to be carrying any personal grudges.

This question is not easy to answer. If you say you are willing to give up enrolling, you are not firm in your desire to learn.If you say you don't want to, it's contrary to the allusion that Kong Rong let the pear go.Chu Ci rarely sweated, wondering what Chu Xiaoyuan would say.

"But, isn't Kong Rong giving up the pears to the younger brother? I'm older, and I'm the older brother. You should ask the younger brother." Chu Xiaoyuan looked at Mr. Shen suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why he didn't even do this. Know.

Chu Xiaoyuan looked at the problem from a child's point of view, which made Mr. Shen speechless for a while.After a while, he said with a smile, "You are right. Mister was confused and asked the wrong person. You answered all the questions very well. Mister accepted you as a disciple."

Chu Ci's feelings towards this gentleman changed from bad to good, and those who can admit their mistakes in front of the students must not be mediocre.As for why he asked that question before, it is unknown.

Mr. Shen accepted the apprentice ceremony, gave Chu Xiaoyuan a lecture, and then took the two children to the teaching dormitory to worship the portraits of Confucius and others.

Master Xu and Chu Ci were waiting outside.Seeing him walking towards him, Chu Ci felt a little vigilant, and when he saw him reaching for something on his body, he almost put on the classic Bruce Lee posture and shouted "Ah!"

A letter was handed in front of Chu Ci, butler Xu said: "Chu Xiucai, let me introduce you to me. I am the head of the Kou Mansion. My young master once had a relationship with Chu Xiucai. I wonder if you still remember it?"

Brother Kou?The tall and straight figure like a soldier emerged in Chu Ci's mind. This is the most masculine man he has ever seen since ancient times.And the man helped him twice.

"Offended, it turned out to be brother Kou's family. Brother Kou helped me, but I couldn't repay it. I'm really ashamed."

"Before the young master went to the military camp in the past, he told me that you, Chu Xiucai, are a warm-hearted person and the most righteous person. If the young master encounters problems in the county school and asks you for help, you will definitely help him. This time he When I came back from writing a letter, I brought you one too. I thought it would be difficult to meet each other, but I didn’t know it was so fateful.”

Chu Ci took the letter and wondered in his heart, did a person who seemed so indifferent talk so much after returning home?

Kou Jingjing: ...

Chu Ci unfolded the letter, which read: Chu Xiucai wrote it personally, and I hope to forgive you for taking the liberty to write a letter.It's been several months now.Thinking about the past, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, especially in my ears.My nephew will be going to school in the near future. I am afraid that he will be uncomfortable when he enters the school as a young child. I hope that Brother Chu can take care of him when he meets him. I am very grateful.

After reading it, there seemed to be two black lines on his forehead. He remembered that when he called Brother Zhongli that day, that person did not stop him. Looking at it now, it turned out that Brother Zhongli had only reached his thigh, and he was even stronger than Chu Xiaoyuan. shorter.

Forget it, after all, he owes favors to others. One sheep can be herded, and two sheep can be released. Then let Chu Xiaoyuan take care of it for him, so that Bai Nennen's young master doesn't get bullied.As the saying goes, if something happens, the nephew will do his best!

In fact, Kou Jing just said that, he never thought that Chu Ci's nephew was also studying here.He originally thought that the Mengtong Hall and the county's academic examination class were far apart, and the two had no chance to meet.This is to let Chuci not care about repaying his kindness. He still has a good impression of this scholar.

Butler Xu didn't think so.Hao Lai asked him to catch a sheep, of course he had to do his best to pluck the wool.If it wasn't for the young master who insisted on letting the young master study in the county school, and the county school doesn't let the student's family members accompany him to study, he would definitely come and take care of the young master himself.

"Since he is brother Kou's nephew, then he is my nephew. I will definitely take care of him in the future."

"Oh, I don't worry if you say that! Chu Xiucai doesn't know, my young master, he really likes your paintings." Butler Xu wanted to help his young master gain more favorability.

"Oh?" Chu Ci became curious, and it turned out that the person who fanned his paintings was not Butler Xu, but a child.I like beauties at such a young age, the aesthetics are a bit advanced.

Steward Xu sighed, and briefly explained Zhong Liyu's background.Some details were omitted in the middle, mainly to let Chu Ci know that the person he drew by accident looks very similar to the young master's deceased mother.

After listening to Chu Ci, he was a little silent, so he said, how can a painting be exchanged for 50 taels and an ISBN? It turned out to be like this.

At this time, Mr. Shen came out with his two children, and the topic naturally ended.

"February [-]th is the opening day of Mengtong's Museum, please bring all the things you use on weekdays to come here."

Steward Xu and Chu Ci nodded to express their understanding.

Mr. Shen said to Chu Ci at this time: "I was entrusted by someone for the matter just now, and he didn't mean to make things difficult on purpose. He just wanted to see if Wen Quxing's nephew is also a talent for making."

Chu Ci was speechless, it turned out that it was to recruit disciples.For such a big battle, he thought that someone was trying to get in the way.

……

He also succeeded in worshiping his master, and Chu Xiaoyuan's spirit was better than when he first came here, and he was willing to look around while walking on the road.

Chu Ci had to sigh with emotion, the world of children is so simple.

He bought a few packs of delicious food for Chu Xiaoyuan, and then led him back to Zhang's house.

Zhang Wenhai's family was in the hall, and there were piles of things on the table and floor. Zhang Wenhai and Mrs. Zhang were confronting each other at the table, obviously a family war had just started.

"Brother Chu, help me persuade my mother, I'm going to the county for a test, not to fight, she can't wait to give me everything!" Zhang Wenhai complained as if seeing the savior.

"Brother Zhang's words are wrong. Your mother is also a loving mother. I am afraid that you will miss something in the examination room. This is why you have prepared more. Instead of being grateful, you complain a lot. Isn't this what a son of man should do? " Chu Ci first said Zhang Wenhai, and then he turned to Zhang's mother, "However, Mrs. Zhang. The county examination rules are extremely strict, and everything brought must be made together, and it will be broken apart and crushed for inspection. If you bring too much, you will be delayed, and it will not be beautiful if you delay the time."

The words made both of them calm down and contemplate their past.Zhang's father nodded repeatedly at the side, he deserved to be Chu Xiucai, he just persuaded him for a long time, but he didn't please both sides.

The mother and son were considerate of each other, and the night was finally uneventful.

On February [-], the county trial started.

The entrance of the school hall is extremely crowded, candidates from various villages and towns gather together, roughly looking at it, there should be three to four hundred people.Among these people, there are relatively few young ones, but more older ones.

The county tried to recruit 50 people, almost one-seventh of the ratio.Compared with the [-] in [-] or [-] chance in the Jiangnan area, this place is particularly friendly.

Zhang Wenhai walked up and down under the carriage, looking impatient. "Why isn't Jinyang coming? Could it be that he is going to be the last to enter? Brother Chu, what do you think he is doing?"

"I don't know..." Chu Ci replied weakly, blinking his sleepy eyes.He was holding a child in his arms, and his little face was flushed while sleeping under the quilt.

Maybe it was retribution for torturing them twice.The night before Chu Ci was disturbed by the over-excited Chu Xiaoyuan, who was woken up by Zhang Wenhai not long after falling asleep, and pitifully begged him to accompany him to the examination room.

Just go, he just wanted to get up, Chu Xiaoyuan dragged him and cried, saying that he didn't want to be here alone.Seeing that he couldn't open his sleepy eyes and was still pulling himself, Chu Ci's heart softened, so he had no choice but to wrap him in a quilt and bring him with him in the carriage.

Fortunately, Fang Jinyang finally came after hearing the call.

Chu Ci took a look at him and found that his face was flushed, which seemed abnormal.But Fang Jinyang himself didn't show anything unusual, so he thought that his blood surged because he ran in a hurry.

The three of them said a few words together, and then they started calling for release.

Zhang Wenhai and Fang Jinyang carried baskets, bid farewell to Chuci in a hurry, and ran towards the examination room.

The exam process is generally the same as the mock exam. Sitting in the numbered room, the two of them finally settled down.They worked so hard for so long just to show their skills today, Brother Chu said that their time has come, if they still behave like that, it would be extremely ridiculous.

"Let's go back." Chu Ci watched them enter the door, and asked the coachman to drive back.Go back to sleep now, and definitely don't delay to pick people up later.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Chu Ci, who had rested and done his homework for a while, took Chu Xiaoyuan out, and the two walked to the outside of the school hall, ready to meet Zhang Wenhai and Fang Jinyang who were about to leave.

When the bell rang three times in the examination room, Zhang Wenhai followed the crowd and went out happily.Pasting scriptures and Mo Yi's work was no problem, and the nine-chapter questions were no problem for him. Poetry and prose were something he was good at, and the most wonderful thing was that the essay questions this time were actually extra questions given to them by Chu Ci.

He also listened very carefully when the Ci of Chu was speaking, but this time almost all of them fell silent!

He hadn't passed such a simple county test yet, and the smug look on his face made the other candidates roll their eyes.

"Brother Chu, you are here!" Zhang Wenhai saw Chu Ci, and ran over as soon as his eyes lit up. He couldn't see Zhang's father and mother who came to pick him up from the other side.They walked over resentfully, and the combined figure of the two of them, which weighed several hundred kilograms, was no match for a slender Chu Xiucai!

"Looking at you like this, you must be confident. I'll congratulate you in advance." Chu Ci joked.

Although Zhang Wenhai was a little embarrassed, he was still very happy.In order to save himself from being overjoyed, he looked left and right, "Where's Jinyang, hasn't he come out yet?"

At this time, the people in the examination room had almost left.Everyone stared at the door closely, not knowing what happened to Fang Jinyang.

Just when they couldn't bear it anymore and were about to go over and ask, they finally saw someone.

Fang Jinyang's face was pale, and he was helped out by the Yacha in the examination room.Zhang Wenhai and Chu Ci reached out to pick them up, and Fang Jinyang cried when he saw them.

"Wen Hai, brother Chu, I'm afraid I won't win again this time!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes and passed out.

Yacha has handled the situation with ease: "This examinee just fell on the way, you can take him back and try to persuade him, come back next year."

"Thank you, Brother Cha."

Chu Ci bowed to him, and then worked together with Zhang Wenhai to put Fang Jinyang into the carriage and send him back to Fang's house.

On the other side of the school hall, Fang's parents were waiting far away, also anxiously looking for someone.Hearing someone coming to report, he immediately rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

"My poor son!" Fang's mother cried, and then asked Shi Shi to drive back quickly.

……

"I'm afraid your son has a fever since last night, and today he managed to go to the examination room. He has to take care of himself in the past two days. I will prescribe a medicine here, boil four bowls of water into one and drink it."

"Thank you doctor."

The old doctor left with a sigh.

Fang's father came to Chuci and Zhang Wenhai to thank him: "My Jinyang's health has always been poor. It was because we forced him too much that he suffered. Thanks to you two good brothers, Jinyang was able to return safely. Thank you very much. "

"Uncle, you're being polite!" The two hurriedly stopped him, preventing him from bowing.

"However, Jinyang's health doesn't seem to be that bad. He has never been sick in my house these days. Why did he suddenly have a fever after only two days at home, but this family is against him?"

"Brother Zhang, be careful!" Chu Ci quickly interrupted, saying that the Feng Shui of other people's house is not good in front of others, isn't it asking for a beating?
