Cui Xie has money on his waist, and there are three shops and a chain of tea sheds outside. Why don't the villagers go to Beijing to take the test? He immediately called his buddies to record all the feasts on his own account, restocked the wine and vegetables, refilled the cup and plate, went to buy a basket of fresh and fat crabs, and wrote a note asking people to go home to get the soju, and make a Luxurious owner.

There is no Jie Yuan or Jing Kui in this restaurant. He is the eighth one who is the most proud, so everyone coaxed him to memorize the article and instruct the students to write the article.

Cui Xie said: "This time Xie was lucky enough to win the examiner's favor. If you want to listen to my article, I will recite it, but I don't dare to point it out."

He himself has been studying in Guozijian for a year, and articles are posted outside the corridor every day for people to comment, and his face has also been trained.

Some of these scholars in Qian'an are still seniors who have instructed him in the past, and some have revised his articles. At that time, I only felt that the ideas of his writing were rushing, the momentum was compelling, but the words were not well-crafted; now listening to his articles, it is already reborn—

The art of craftsmanship is a combination of parallels and prose. Originally, when he composed his essays, prose sentences of breaking, inheriting, developing, and connecting were often powerful in discussion, but the parallel sentences were only two or three sentences long, and it was difficult to be neat and tidy if they were longer. The parallel prose of the Chinese test text is carefully crafted, and the writing is wonderful. Babie's clear air is clear, and he is clever and eloquent without speaking, and he makes a simple sentence.

If it is not good, the deception is because of its badness, and the taboo is not good, and the deception is turned into its goodness. Moreover, the mistakes of the villain have always been mistaken for being unkind, and I say that it is not mistaken for being unkind, but it is mistaken for being unkind, and it is mistaken for being unkind, but I still want to pretend to be good.

These two sentences are like two hearts, one smoke, one breath, and the meaning is compared rather than opposite. The two words "bully" and "mistake" are defined, and the villain's work of concealing evil and promoting goodness and its harm are written incisively and vividly. The words are also very neat, and when he recites it from his mouth, it is like hitting a golden jade. The rhythm is clear and the recitation is catchy.

Lu An and other people who have read his article sighed, "It's really terrifying! You've made great progress in this article. You haven't seen it for a year, and you've already entered the house! Could it be that you also dreamed of Jiang Yan's flower-like pen?"

Even those scholars who hated his uneven sales of books and felt that "such a person can also get the eighth", after listening to his article, they couldn't help but sigh "such a person can get the eighth".

Such a good article, he is a famous editor, and he was born young and handsome, why did the examiner not mention his rank

Cui Xie shook his head and smiled and said, "Where are those miraculous things? I just have to study with a famous teacher, and I'm willing to write a few more articles to practice. It's only been three or four months that you have read the notes of a famous teacher. More than before? I have been studying in Sinology since last year, and many of the notes were copied by me, and I remember them very well.

He first studied in the Imperial College for more than a year. In the past few months, he became Li Dongyang's disciple again. He did so many questions from the Hanlin Academy. If he failed in the test, he should be hanged.

Everyone can only envy his teacher's inheritance, but no one can say the word "hate".

There are many people reading with famous teachers in the world, but they are willing to put together notes of the explanations they have heard, and summarize them in the order of the Four Books and Five Classics. This is the only one that can be shared with the students all over the world.

Those who read his "Notes for Imperial Examinations" must share his love with him, and for their own future, they have to pray that he will print out the rest of the notes smoothly - in case he is in a bad mood, It's printed, where in the world can I find such a good person with luck and mind

Among the six talents, only Xu Liyan and Shen Zheng were left behind. Seeing him being humble, he also laughed at himself: "We got the book from your family Cui Yuan for nothing, but we didn't pass the exam this year. It seems to be a review. I have to learn how to hang a board on the wall next year, and write that there are still more than 1,000 days until the Jiyou Township Exam, and the countdown is day by day…”

In fact, the three of them originally liked to read novels and didn't pay much attention to the imperial examinations. Those who passed the examination were considered lucky, and those who did not take it for granted. Moreover, four of the six talents have already been selected as candidates. They are bound by the fame of the six talents, and their names are also certain, so they are not in a hurry to be selected.

This was just a joke, but Cui Xie gave a high-five, agreeing, "This timekeeping is really useful! There is still a sign in my house, after the township exam, it's time for the accountant to try. Brothers have been watching for more than three years. It seems long, but in fact it is only one thousand and eighty days, plus one leap month and thirty days at most. We sleep three or four hours every night, dress and eat during the day for another hour or two, and can study for at most half a day a day. ; Plus socializing with people, poetry meeting, rest…

He took out a pencil on the spot and started subtraction on other people's walls, accurate to the hour, and finally converted into a whole day: "It's all out, five hundred days are already too many days to really be able to read, how can you not hurry up? "

Asking him to say and then write the time to calculate the time is not only a low-ranking scholar, but those who have been admitted to the juren get chills behind their backs: "If you ask you to do this, you are so nervous about taking the local exam, and there are still a hundred days left for the exam. cannot?"

Can't seem to.

Although most of the students did not learn arithmetic, they subtracted the hours according to his algorithm, and they all had the results in their hearts.

The rankings are released on the second day of September, and the ninth day of the second month of the next year will be a test. There are only five months and one hundred and fifty days in the middle. After eating and sleeping, you can study all the time. How long can you study

The restaurant was full of romantic scholars. Originally, regardless of whether they passed the test or not, they all wanted to revel after the test, and if they were told in a few words, it would be unpleasant to eat.

Cui Xie didn't even see their pale faces, just like when he was pulled by the school to record a video to encourage juniors and juniors after the college entrance examination, he enthusiastically talked about his experience: "I know that I am young and weak, and I can't compare to everyone. My brother studied essays intensively, so before the test, he often practiced according to the rules of the township test. He got up to write essays at four drums, and he did seven essays a day. He didn’t need to study essays, and he was naturally open-minded. Only those who can score will be able to play a single point in the examination room, and they will live up to what they have learned every day.”

There are only three exams in the township exam, and there are two days off between the three exams. With the seven essays, six essays, and five strategy essays, they all did it like a serious illness. This weak boy was able to live by himself before the exam. Just practice like that

Seven articles a day, no need to study, how did he write it!

If he can really write it... Then I really can't blame him for being the eighth in the township exam after only three years of study...

All sentient beings and Juren were so frightened by his examination script that they didn’t even bother to invite him, the eighth-ranked genius in the autumn examination, the top student of the National Academy of Sciences, and the disciple of Li Dongyang, the disciple of Wenzong in China, to write poems and lyrics. The usage of those sets of imperial examination notes.

It also gave up the opportunity to expose a pseudo-talent who could not write good poetry.

Rao was so frightened that his lifespan was shortened by a few days. When he went back and remembered the experience he taught, they all felt that he was a good person with virtue, knowledge, and a wide range of capabilities.

Ordinary scholars have some reading experience, and they are passed on to their children. Who is willing to teach others for nothing? Aren't you afraid that if someone else learns this method, will they pass him in the exam in the future

When Cui Xie gained a lot of goodwill in the world of scholars, the news of the eighth place in the foreign test was also passed back to the court and the palace. Li Chun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Personnel and Zhan Shifu, is Li Dongyang's teacher, and he is also considered to be Cui Xie's ancestor. I heard that he got this title - it was Li Dongyang who suppressed him to avoid suspicion, otherwise he would be admitted to the Five Classics Queri - quite pleased with him too.

When he went to collect the prince's papers that day, the prince also asked Chunchun: "Gu Wen today is the day of the township exam release, has Cui Xie been on the list?"

Li Chun cupped his hands and replied with a smile: "Exactly, he got the eighth place in this subject, and it is not worth the love of the emperor and the prince Su Ri."

Although the crown prince has only met him once, he has done questions that put his name on him, and he usually answers the papers he answers frequently, and he has also taken him as his own person in the East Palace. How is it the eighth, so I can see that his subjects are no worse than anyone else's."

Li Chun said: "The world's talents are like clouds. Although he is very smart and thoughtful at a young age, can he still surpass the world's talents everywhere? , but I am happy for the ability of Yao and Shun to rule today.”

The prince changed his face and thanked him: "Mr. taught it right, it's just a matter of loneliness."

He asked Li Chun to help him copy the papers for Cui Xie's subject. He looked back and sighed silently after he left: Cui Xie was considered one of the top students in the Guozijian, but in the Shuntian Township Exam, he could only test eighth

The servant looked at the prince with a gloomy expression, as if he was dissatisfied with Cui Xie's grades, so he quietly went up to tell him the truth: "My servant heard that Cui Juren's examination paper was originally called by Master Fang to be the chief examiner, but Li, the chief examiner. The father is his teacher, and he deliberately lowered his ranking, otherwise he would be the third one."

The prince asked in surprise: "Really? Where did you hear it?"

The waiter said with a smile, "It was said by the examiners when they were attending the banquet. They all said that Cui Juren deserved to have been with the waiter for so long, and he answered it better than when he took the junior three-yuan test. This time, it happened to happen to his teacher. Examiner, there is no need to hold down the next meeting, he will definitely be able to take the first-class jinshi exam and serve the emperor and the young master!"

The prince nodded lightly and whispered, "He is stronger than others."

Last spring, when his crown prince position was at its most unstable, the royal father liked the fourth younger brother Youqi of Shao Niangniang, and wanted to change him to the crown prince. If it wasn't for Wynn's great companion, there would be frequent earthquakes in Mount Tai in February and March, and the supervisor of Qin Tianjian said that he should be in the East Palace. I'm afraid that his prince would have been unstable.

It was at that time that Cui Xie entered the palace to teach him a book. Not only did he teach the book, but he also gave him a topic for him to do. Later, he did the problem outside the palace to accompany him... It took more than a year for this blink of an eye. When I think back to the beginning, I was walking on thin ice. In those days, in addition to his companions and the vassals of the Eastern Palace, Cui Xie and the students from the Guozijian accompanied him the most.

The person who attended the test of the East Palace was selected, and he should have some rewards as a prince.

The prince thought for a while, and then asked the inner servant to select the best ink, ink, paper, inkstone, and new palace-made books, together with palace flowers and chrysanthemum wine, and gave them to the Cui family to show his honor.

Cui Xie was called home after drinking in a restaurant. Hearing that it was a reward from the prince, everyone who was drinking with them woke up. A group of people followed Cui's house, and stood on tiptoe outside the door to watch the eunuchs who came to pass the decree from the palace. The Cui family had already arranged the incense case, so when he returned, he hurriedly changed into the Juren clothes and hats that he had prepared in advance, and brought his grandmother, younger siblings, auntie, and family members to kneel down to give thanks, and received the crown prince's reward.

After the eunuchs left, he asked people to go to the restaurant to invite the cook to make a water table, and invite fellow villagers and more uninvited guests to celebrate the happy event.

On this day, the wine was drank from noon to the evening, and it was not until the curfew was about to take the students back to their inn by car. Cui Xie stood outside the door and greeted the guests, until the last guest left. It was getting late, so he rubbed his sleepy eyes and went back.

When he turned around, he seemed to see a little yellow light in the long alley, and the light reflected a familiar figure.

He stopped abruptly, turned his head calmly, and said to the family beside him, "You go in first, and I'll go out to get some fresh air. There are guards patrolling the streets outside, so it's very safe, and I'm familiar with their repressive envoys, so I'm not afraid of committing crimes at night. Forbid, don't mind me."

Cui Liangdong said worriedly: "Young master has drunk so much wine, and if he blows his hair again, I'm afraid it will be easy to get up. Why don't you ask a servant to support you?"

Cui Xie shook his head and smiled: "I've always been able to drink strong liquor. These are nothing, and I'm not too drunk. I need someone to help me. I'm happy today, maybe I'll go to a play tonight and come back. , if you ask someone to stay at the door, don't ask anything else."

He sent his family back forcefully, stared at the person and closed the door, turned around, and walked towards the alley where the yellow light flashed just now.

The light had disappeared, and he couldn't see his figure in the darkness, but he walked straight in that direction, the blood vessels in his whole body thumping, like the sound of another person's heart beating, guiding him to go there .

As he was walking, his chest seemed to bump into some obstacle, so he stopped, and the whole person plunged down there. The obstacle was originally warm and soft, but when it moved, a layer of steel-like muscles stretched out under the soft fabric and skin, wrapped him in his arms, and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Why so? Dared to come over, not afraid that I am a scoundrel and sell you to Nanban to mine?"

Cui Xie rested his chin on his shoulder, and hung his body loosely on his arms, closed his eyes and replied, "Beijing Fusi Zhenfu Master Xie is personally patrolling the night outside my Senate House. How dare you? If you sell me, I will ask Lord Xie to arrest you and put you in the imperial prison."

Xie Ying gave a low laugh and said, "You're such a daring person, then if I don't sell you, I'll rob you and go home and see what happens to you."

Cui Xie also chuckled: "Then grab it quickly. I'm worried about the hard work of being in charge of the house. If you are willing to grab me, I'll have to stay at your house to eat and drink, and I won't be able to drive away."

Xie Ying blocked his waist with one hand, grabbed his legs with the other, and threw him onto the horse. A large, unsure whether it was a cloak or a cloak covered his head, he shrank in the warmth, leaned his head on Xie Ying's chest, and asked him in a low voice, "Where are you going to take me?"

Xie Ying said with a smile: "Didn't you just tell your housekeeper that you want to listen to the play? Today is a good day for your mid-term test. I will naturally follow your wishes. Please listen to a new play."
