Be a master through ancient times

"Writing must be in Qin and Han Dynasties, poetry must be prosperous in Tang Dynasty".

Although this dynasty does not exist in the history of Chuci memory, these great men still emerged as the times require, leaving countless gorgeous articles and poems for future generations to pass on.

The Great Wei Dynasty is like a certain branch of the Three Thousand Worlds. It has changed since a certain time point, and the subsequent direction is different, but the world view in the early stage is still similar.

Chu Ci also wrote articles.

His writing style is bold and unrestrained, which is slightly different from the popular retro style nowadays.But he thought, that Zhu Ti is not very old, and he will be promoted to Zheng Ti School in a province soon, so he must have many ambitions in his heart.

Maybe this article of his can reconcile his blue eyes.

Moreover, Chu Ci had a faint feeling in his heart that he always felt that Zhu Tixue was coming for him.

In the snow disaster in Mobei last year, he offered a plan to Taoist Mo, and Taoist Mo said that he would never treat him badly, so it probably should be on this matter.His husband also talked about this before, but since there was no news for so long, he almost thought that the credit had already been swallowed up.

Of course, he didn't dare to say with certainty that it was for him. After all, if Taoist Mo and Zhu Tixue were not of the same mind, then the disaster relief plan would be given to others.

Alas, it is useless to think too much.

Now that he was distracted, Chu Ci simply put down the brush, then got up and walked to the bed, looking at the two little heads crowded together on the bed, their faces were flushed from sleep, and they looked like they were in the middle of a good dream.

After returning from Changxi Village, the relationship between the two little ones improved a lot.The main reason is that Chu Xiaoyuan has become a little friendlier, even willing to huddle together to sleep these days.

It's okay to be a child, carefree.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Kou Jing, which asked him to face up to his heart and choose the scripture that suits him.You must like it from the bottom of your heart when studying the classics, otherwise there will be problems when you understand it deeply, and the examiner in this room will be able to see it at a glance.

Chu Ci was finally determined, he wanted to rule the Spring and Autumn Period.These days, he inquired at the county school, and found that most of the masters basically taught the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, and the Shangshu.Among them, his husband was the chief of the Book of Poetry that year, and Shan Chang was the chief of the classics of rites before his husband.

This is also the general trend and the choice of the times.After all, these were the things that Emperor Xianjiayou liked most during his lifetime, and even the number one scholar for three consecutive years in the past few years was a scholar of the Book of Songs.

In the county school, there are two masters who study the Book of Changes, and three masters who study the Spring and Autumn Period.Chu Ci secretly learned about the resumes of these three masters, and then found out in despair that the best one among them was ranked fourth from last in the Spring and Autumn House of that rural examination.The other two haven't even passed the exam yet, so they must also take the provincial examination together this year.

If you can't find a suitable room teacher, you have to rely on your own efforts.Chu Ci decided that after the matter of Tixue was over, he would tell his husband his choice, hoping that his husband would not drive him out of the house because of this, otherwise he would stay even if he hugged his thigh and cried on the spot.

……

The gate of the county school was cleaned spotlessly, and there were lanterns and festoons hanging outside the gate. The atmosphere was almost the same as that of the Chinese New Year.Chu Ci and the others were also assigned to do things yesterday, and each of them held a rag to clean every door and window.

In the county school, the head of the mountain was chatting with the local squires. These squires were also famous. It would be rude not to inform them of such a major event.

The gong started to sound at the entrance of the alley, and it lasted nine times in a row before giving up.

The sound of the gong was so loud that they could hear it clearly even in the Hall of Sages.Chu Ci thinks that although there is no grade for learning, but the treatment is according to the fifth-rank magistrate, which seems to be a department with real power.

Firecrackers started to be set off outside the county school, and the people living around Qingshi Lane had already gathered around the road to watch.

The first ones were a few people holding a sign with the words "Ganzhou Government Promotion and Academic Affairs Department" written on it, in order to show their identity, as long as the status is not as good as his, they should be avoided at this time.There are several followers behind.

The head of the mountain led the crowd to wait at the door, and a person got off a small blue sedan chair in front of him. He looked about 40 years old, with two strands of beard on his lips, and looked amiable.Several road patrols also followed from behind and stood behind Zhu Tixue.

Yang Zhixian, who fell at the end, also got off the sedan chair immediately. He walked a few steps, came to a position half a body away from Zhu Tixue, stood still, and said, "Zhu Tixue, this is Yuanshan County's school." The person standing in front of you is Kong Shanzhang from Yuanshan County School, you should still have an impression?"

Master Kong Shan, who was named, brought everyone together to salute, "Master Tixue is very polite, and the great master is here, which really makes Yuanshan County's scholars flourish."

"Neighbors, please be polite. I'm here to communicate with you. Don't be too restrained." Zhu Tixue's kind words moved everyone, and then the head of the mountain led Zhu Tixue and others to the county. I went to school.

After being surrounded by dozens of people to see the layout of the county school, Zhu Tixue felt a little emotional: "The environment of Yuanshan County School is as difficult as before. Everyone is hardworking and hardworking. You are really a role model for my generation. When I go back, I will definitely mention it to Zheng Zheng. The master of the school will play, and next year the academic funding of Yuanshan County School will be increased by [-]%."

"Thank you, Great Master, for your understanding. We are so grateful." Kong Shanchang looked like he was about to cry.

"Where are the students from the county school?"

"They are now waiting for the Grand Master to ask questions in the Hall of Sages. Grand Master please follow me."

The Hall of Sages displays portraits of all saints since Confucius.Zhu Tixue and others entered the hall from the front, first burned incense and worshiped Confucius and others, and then entered the hall of sages.

The 120 students of the provincial examination class were standing neatly in the hall of sages. Seeing Master Kong Shan and the others stepping in, they immediately bowed down to salute, and said in unison: "Students have met the great master, the great master is polite."

"All good talents are exempt from courtesy. There is no need to be strict with etiquette today, just treat me as an ordinary elder."

The students shouldn't have looked up at Mr. Tixue, but after hearing what he said, they all raised their heads.

"You guys are all heroic and majestic, and you must have extraordinary talent and learning. I have a couplet, and I want to exchange a few words with you. You can boldly say it later. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad."

"Please ask the great master to compare."

"At the end of last year, it snowed heavily. When I went out alone, I passed by a village. There were three or two thatched cottages here, with yellow hair hanging down, and I was happy. I saw a small bridge in the distance, chickens and dogs walking back and forth, leaving a little Footsteps, I have a couplet in my heart, but I haven't got a couplet yet."

Zhu Tixue chanted slowly: "The chickens and dogs cross the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves all the way."

The students bowed their heads and thought hard.

Chu Ci thought: This upper couplet seems to be nothing, but it is actually not right. Although the plum blossom and bamboo leaves refer to the footprints of two animals, the scene is very elegant. How to turn the vulgar into the elegant?

Before he could figure it out, a student raised his hand later.

Zhu Tixue said: "You come forward."

"Student Zhu Jie, I have met the Great Master. My next couplet is: Ox and horses walking on the snow, two rows of big clams." Zhu Jie shook his head and chanted slowly, his face seemed to be colored.

The officials and gentry standing behind Zhu Tixue couldn't help covering their lips with their sleeves to hide their smiles.Although this couplet is right, it is so vulgar that it is not really a good match.

Kong Shanchang's face turned black, and he wanted to kick this shameful thing back into the team.

Zhu Tixue coughed, and then said: "Well, although you are right quickly, you still need to practice, let's go."

After Zhu Jie walked back dejectedly, another person raised his hand.

"Come forward."

"Student Zhang Wenhai, the second couplet is: Yingdie wraps around the screen window, paper is full of peonies and hibiscus." This time it was Zhang Wenhai who stepped forward.He has a lively personality, but every time he composes a couplet of poems, his style of writing is lingering.

"Well, this is not bad. It's just a bit tacky after all." Zhu Tixue commented.

Qi Xu also raised his hand, and he said, "Student Qi Xu, the second couplet is: Goose horses walk in the snow, two rows of maple leaves and crescent moons."

"The battle is extremely neat, not bad." But a little too tricky.

"Student Chen Zifang, I have it too: earthworms and frogs sing in the grass, and the sky is filled with the sound of flutes and drums."

"Quite interesting." Zhu Tixue nodded with a smile.

Finally, Chu Ci also came up with a couplet, he raised his hand hesitantly, and then put it down again.

"Have you thought about it too? It's okay to speak up boldly." Zhu Tixue saw it with sharp eyes, and said kindly, even listening to the bastard, what else can't be heard.

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The student did come up with the second couplet, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it unreasonable, so he dared not say it."

"Oh? It's unreasonable. Why do you explain this?" This statement aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Don't dare to hide the great master, the student's second couplet is: Turtle and snake swim in the snow, full of iron and silver hooks."

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone was amazed, it was very neat, and very grand!Why is it unreasonable?

Chu Ci said with some embarrassment: "The turtles and snakes are cold-blooded animals. They don't come out for activities every winter. Once they come out, they will be frozen to death. The student thinks that this talent cannot be imposed on it for the sake of fighting. That’s why I dare not say it.”

"Haha, it's interesting to be able to play such a neat pair, but also to give up the chance to stand out because of doubts, you are an interesting student, what's your name?"

Zhu Jie curled his lips secretly from behind, obviously bastards and turtles are the same, why do everyone have different reactions?
