Xu Zhen followed into the private room and learned that today a great Confucian came to give lectures on previous years' scientific examination questions.
This year, for some unknown reason, the exam questions were leaked, and the Holy One was so angry that he asked Tianxia Academy to come up with a new exam question.
But how can ordinary academies have experience in giving imperial examination questions
The current students and teachers are very honest. Before the exam, they just memorize all the exams. At most, they are doing the questions from previous years. They really don’t know how to start with the question.
So at this moment, there are so many people who come to listen to the lecture given by the great Confucianism.
Not only people from Jiangling, but even people from the neighboring counties came here. The small teahouse was full, and it was a hundred times more lively than the previous Yaji.
Xu Zhen followed the priestess into the private room.
Unexpectedly, there were already two people sitting inside, and they seemed to be friends of Jijiu.
The head of the mountain took the opportunity to expel Xu Zhen: "This private room can only seat four people, if you want to come, you can find a seat yourself, go and go."
Xu Zhen didn't want to leave, and shamelessly tried to squeeze in, but failed. The door slammed shut, ruthlessly shutting her out.
... This mountain leader is really arrogant.
Xu Zhen sighed, very sad.
In fact, she followed the head of the mountain not only to join in the fun, but also to gain some goodwill.
After all, in her memory, both the villain and the heroine had studied at Qinglongshan Academy, so even after the war raged, Qinglongshan Academy still preached and received work without being disturbed by the world, and became the only pure land.
When Xu Zhen thought of this incident, she was very excited.
I happen to have a contract from Qinglong Mountain. As long as I stick to this job and let the little beggar think that I am a bad person and have no good feelings for me, then my life will be guaranteed for a long time, so I don’t have to worry about it at all. !
Xu Zhen's original plan was flattering.
It's a pity that reality is too harsh.
She found a staircase and sat down, sighing and feeling that her life was not good.
I heard someone chatting ahead.
It seemed that they were talking about the content of "Zuo Zhuan", about "Duke Huan of Qi conquering Chu", one of them recited the original text, missed two sentences, and recited a wrong word, but the people next to him never reminded him.
Xu Zhen hesitated for a while, and felt that since the goal was 50,000 points, no matter how small a good thing was, she had to do it.
So she patted the shoulder of the person in front of her, and said, "You missed your recitation, and you recited it wrong."
The man turned his head and stared at Xu Zhen, and said, "I have studied the Thirteen Classics for more than twenty years, how could I recite them wrong!"
Xu Zhen had just received the "Zuo Zhuan" cheat a few days ago, so she certainly could not remember it wrong, and said with certainty, "You recited it wrong."
The man didn't believe it, seeing that Xu Zhen was only a woman and young, he sneered and was about to refute.
The friend next to him tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice, "I recited it wrong. I didn't think of it just now. I just remembered it after this person said it."
The friend said the correct sentence again.
The man realized that he was indeed wrong, and immediately blushed, turned his head away, and pretended nothing happened.
Xu Zhen didn't care, as long as she could get merit points, she would be very happy.
She was recalling the villains in the book, so that she could make more money.
An old woman sat down next to him at some unknown time.
The old woman was wearing a short jacket with narrow sleeves, she seemed to have just come out of the field, her face was round, she was smiling, and she seemed to have a good temper.
She asked Xu Zhen: "You are good at reciting economics, which academy are you from?"
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and answered honestly: "Qinglongshan Academy."
The old woman was a little surprised and said: "Qinglongshan Academy? Why haven't I seen you before."
Xu Zhen said: "I just came here, and now I am only a helper, and the salary is very low. After one month, I will..."
Before the words were finished, the old woman asked again: "Where are you mountain chiefs, why did you hire you, a part-time worker, to listen to lectures?"
Xu Zhen replied: "The mountain grows on the top."
The old woman responded, suddenly said: "So that's the case, but you are only a part-time worker. Since you can have such an economic foundation, Qinglongshan Academy is really amazing. Li Shanzhang has too high a vision in choosing a gentleman."
Xu Zhen was delighted to hear this man boasting about her economics, and couldn't help laughing.
The old woman suddenly talked to her about prayer wheels.
Xu Zhen felt that the old woman was very discerning, so she had a serious discussion with her.
After that, we talked about current affairs and politics from economics.
The old woman said: "Nowadays there are too many rhetoric. Although the Holy Majesty has a bad temper, he prefers honest words. However, although most courtiers understand this truth, they still dare not speak out."
This is a problem that has existed since ancient times.
Many people say on the surface that they like to listen to honest advice, and they will not be angry, but if they really hear it, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be angry enough to hold grudges.
Xu Zhen nodded, expressing her understanding.
The old woman whispered: "Look, if the friend of the endorser earlier told me what he recited wrongly, he wouldn't be so embarrassing afterwards. It's a pity that the good words are hard to hear, and everyone doesn't want to listen to it, and they don't want to say it."
Xu Zhen said, "That's true."
The old woman said again: "Besides, under such rhetoric, many facts have been buried, the false has become true, and the true has become false."
Xu Zhen asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
The old woman shut her mouth for a moment and stopped answering.
Xu Zhen felt that it might be related to other people's affairs, so she didn't continue to ask.
Instead, he comforted: "It's really easy to tell the real from the fake, but according to the history books, the fake can't replace the real."
The old woman said: "Not necessarily."
Xu Zhen said: "I just talked about Zuo Zhuan, so do you remember the 'Cui Zhu Killing His King' in Zuo Zhuan?"
After hearing this, the old woman thought deeply.
Cui Zhu killed his lord, which means that after Cui Zi killed his own lord, Tai Shigong recorded this incident in the annals of history, so he was killed by Cui Zi.
Tai Shigong had a younger brother, who also recorded this incident in the annals of history, and was killed by Cui Zi. After the two died in this way, Tai Shigong had a younger brother who continued to record this matter, so Cui Zi did not kill him again.
Xu Zhen said: "And at that time, there were other historians who came and learned that the matter was recorded truthfully, so they went back. Therefore, the truth cannot be blocked, it will always be passed down."
Xu Zhen soothed her.
She just talked casually without paying any attention to it, but after hearing this, the old woman sighed and said: "There are so many mouths, it can't be stopped."
As if he had figured something out, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly came alive.
She looked at Xu Zhen and praised: "You are just a temporary worker in Qinglongshan Academy. It's really strange, too strange."
Xu Zhen received too many compliments in one day, she was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's not unusual, it's not unusual."
The old woman then praised her several times, to the point that Xu Zhen couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.
In order to repay the old woman's compliment, Xu Zhen touched her sleeves and found the "Flower, Bird and Fish Science Popularization Encyclopedia" that she had returned earlier. Without saying a word, she handed it to the old woman, and then got up and ran away.
The old woman was sitting on the steps of the stairs, holding a popular science book on flowers, birds and fish, but she was still thinking about what Xu Zhen said just now that "the truth cannot be blocked".
She thought about it, and felt that there seemed to be light in front of her eyes, and she was no longer gloomy, and her whole body became more energetic, and she wanted to do something to vent.
It happened that there was a book sent by Xu Zhen in her hand, she clenched it tightly, and opened the book to read.
Just seeing the beginning made me even more shocked.
This strange-looking flower is actually edible? And the mussels, if they are raised artificially, can we put some grass carp and bream in the pool to make the mussels more plump
The old woman hastily turned the pages and found that this book could really be called a strange book.
If all the above are true, then the famine in Guannan can be solved!
Yes, what has been bothering her is the famine in Guannan.
The court kept concealing this matter from time to time to create a peaceful situation for the Holy Majesty, but they didn't know that the world was already full of famine and hunger, which was not the beautiful scene in the mouth of the ministers.
The old woman just came back from Guannan a few days ago. She knew about this matter, but she didn't pay attention to it after she reported it, so she has been in great pain.
But now that she read this book, she suddenly felt hopeful.
There is no other food in Guannan, but there are many flowers and mussels in the picture.
If the management and mining can be carried out according to the method in the book, then Guan Nan may be able to last until the Holy Lord distributes the disaster money.
Even if someone deliberately conceals the truth...
God will always take pity on them and show them another way.
The old woman trembled with excitement, and carefully put the book into her arms.
It's getting louder and louder.
Someone asked loudly: "Why didn't the great Confucian who gave lectures come?"
Hearing this sentence, the old woman suddenly thought that she had to go up to give lectures, so she got up quickly, took out a stack of rice paper from her waist, walked quickly to the third floor platform, showed her ID card to the servants, and finally sat down to start Lectures on imperial examinations.
The teahouse gradually became quiet...
After the lecture was over, the old woman asked someone to inquire, and found the private room where Li Shanchang of Qinglongshan Academy was located.
She ran over and exclaimed: "Master Li Shan, your academy is really full of talents, even a helper has amazing insights."
The head of the mountain was puzzled by the words: "What?"
The old woman took out the blue book and was about to say a lot when a servant came over behind her and said that there was a distinguished guest at home and told her to go back quickly.
The old woman could only hastily said: "The helper in your academy is really knowledgeable! If there is a chance someday, please drink tea and wine together and have a chat."
After speaking, he respectfully saluted and left.
The head of the mountain had only met this great Confucianist once, and now he was very panicked by receiving such a big gift from her.
But after thinking about it: "Helper? A knowledgeable helper?" Probably I found the wrong person.
Although there is a helper in my own academy who can be called a helper, but that person is not at all close to knowledgeable.
If the man is called knowledgeable...
Shan Changguang couldn't help laughing out loud at the thought of this hypothesis.
He was about to catch up and tell the Confucian that he had admitted the wrong person. After running a few steps, he saw the stack of unfinished imperial examination questions in his hand, and he suddenly had a headache.
I haven't finished writing the test questions yet, who am I chasing after!
The head of the mountain sighed deeply, helplessly, turned around sadly, said goodbye to the sacrificial wine, and then went back to continue tossing.
…
Xu Zhen came out of the teahouse and strolled around the street for a while, thinking that today the head of the mountain was going to attend a lecture, and even acquiesced that she was also listening to a lecture, so she had an idea and simply skipped work and went shopping.
Go home after shopping.
Xu Zhen guessed that the little beggar should have already left, after all, what she said in the morning was so hurtful that she couldn't stand it personally.
It doesn't matter if you leave, if you don't leave, you will not be lenient if you play the role of the bad guy.
She opened the door, looked inside, and saw that the room was neat and tidy, as if it had just been cleaned, and no one was there, so she boldly stepped into the room, took off her shoes and jumped on the bedding, ready to open the merit point The system has a look.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Xu Zhen estimated the time, Shen Shi, it seems to be the time after school.
Then he ran out to look around, and it was the little beggar who walked in after pushing the door open.
Still haven't left?
Shocked, Xu Zhen went out and asked, "You..."
As soon as the conversation started, she suddenly realized, no, two lives are at stake, and she can't talk to the little beggar in such a pleasant manner.
She changed her tone fiercely, and asked harshly, "Why don't you leave? Didn't I say that I'm a bad guy! Aren't you afraid of bad guys?"
Xun Qianchun looked up at her and said seriously: "You are not."
Xu Zhen emphasized: "I am really a bad person."
Xun Qianchun lowered his eyes and frowned.
After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Why?"
why
Why are they bad guys
Xu Zhen reacted for a while, but didn't know how to answer at all.
Seeing her reply, Xun Qianchun turned around, walked into the kitchen, took out a cup, poured water, put it on a tray, and brought it to Xu Zhen.
She acted neatly and filled the glass to nine full, skillfully, because this is the usual habit of the two of them.
Xu Zhen once taught the little beggar to drink more hot water, but Xu Zhen was lazy and never poured water, so every time the little beggar brought the water tray to Xu Zhen.
The cup has been handed to Xu Zhen's hand.
Xu Zhen frowned slightly, and finally made up her mind, picked up the cup, and dropped it to the ground.
With a bang, the water splashed and jumped on the ground. Under the refraction of the sun, everything was dazzlingly bright.
After the fall, Xu Zhen turned her head back to the room, closed the door and said: "You can live as long as you want, but don't come to me. If it wasn't for selling you to make money, I wouldn't bother with you at all, nor would I." I'll be nice to you, I don't want to see you."
The door slowly closed, shutting out the darkness.
A narrow corridor ended in a bunch of withered yellow wildflowers, bowing their branches and bowing their heads in front of the latticed window.
Xun Qianchun stood silently holding the plate. After a while, she knelt down and prepared to pick up the pieces.
When she saw the scene on the ground, she paused.
I thought the ones on the ground were fragments of earthen pottery...
Unexpectedly, what was lying on the ground was a complete cup.
It didn't shatter.
What jumps around and emits light is nothing but the splashed tea.
Xun Qianchun rubbed the mouth of the cup with his fingertips and looked at the cup in his hand.
Even reluctant to drop the cup, but said that he is a bad person.
How could this man be so gentle.
An almost invisible smile slowly bloomed on the corner of her mouth, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated. After a long time, she stood up, cleaned the cup, and went back to the room to sort out her homework.
