Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was not only not arrogant at all, Yu Tongfu nodded with satisfaction.

I sighed in secretly that my father would specifically remind me that this new junior brother is a smart and smart person, and repeatedly reminded myself not to be contemptuous.

Now it seems that the new junior brother is at least a sensible and cautious person.

The two of them took the seats separately, picked up the tea brought by the little girl and drank a few sips, and chatted about a few academic topics. Yu Tongfu was the same as Yu Honggao before.

The more I ask, the more I feel scared.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I have passed the imperial examination at the age of 18.

In addition, I have been staying at home for the past three years, and I have worked hard to make a son while studying. Not to mention that I can pass the Jinshi exam by 100%, but I feel that I am no worse than ordinary people.

But I didn't expect that no matter whether I asked the Four Books, the Five Classics, the problem, or the understanding of the intention, the junior brother who was two years younger than me could keep up with his thinking.

He stopped talking, thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Did you memorize all the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the annotations and ideas that my father passed on to you?"

"I dare not hide it from Brother Sicheng. I am indeed a little satisfied with my memory. Since I received the gift from my teacher, I have thought about everything day and night.

this,,,

Not only did Yu Tongfu's face change, but even Uncle Fu, who had been standing in the main hall, also had two servants and two maids, were shocked.

Although the four books and five generations have slightly different experiences, it is impossible to make a mistake in all of them totaling nearly 500,000 words. No matter how you calculate the annotation, there are still millions of words.

If you can remember this, how can you not surprise me?

Moreover, this is a boring classical Chinese. Even those who have studied it for decades dare not say that they can remember it all.

It is impossible to remember everything word for word.

"Take Zhouli and turn left."

Hearing Yu Tongfu's words, the two servants turned around and ran away.

"Master, should you wait for tomorrow?"

Shi Zhongkui understood that Uncle Fu was kind-hearted, so he bowed and smiled, "Uncle Fu was kind-hearted, my nephew thanked him first, but since he spoke, there was no reason to go back on his word.

And today and tomorrow are actually the same. After all, turn left by 189,000 words, and you can't review it overnight."

"That's right, my brother can see it clearly."

Yu Tongfu laughed, while Uncle Fu shook his head helplessly.

But I felt vaguely expecting Shi Zhongkui, and Shi Zhongkui, who had won two yuan in a row, called himself a nephew, saying that it was impossible to be unhappy.

Shi Zhongkui would say this, in addition to his thoughts of trying to win over and not offend others, because Uncle Fu is an old servant of the Yu family and has white hair, so there is nothing wrong with being polite.

Jia Yucun became an official for the first time because he was arrogant and was found by his superiors for a minor crime of disobeying etiquette, rather than being accused of embezzlement.

After wasting several years, I joined Lin Ruhai and received his recommendation. I went to Beijing to get the relationship between Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng, so that I could only take the position of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

Not long after, more than a dozen books were brought over by the servants, which immediately attracted some servants and maids in the backyard to hide curiously in the corner outside the main hall and listen quietly.

Shi Zhongkui didn't mean that Tongfu said, and then smiled and took out a fan from his sleeve, "If you want to take the exam, you have to have a lottery ticket to make it more interesting."

"No problem", Yu Tongfu agreed without thinking, and then he heard Shi Zhongkui smile, "Although I have a little heart, I have always regretted that Yu has no teachings.

I feel ashamed of myself when I write it with one hand, so if I win by chance, I hope my elder brother will open my home copybook to me.”

"Haha", Yu Tongfu burst into laughter.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui did not ask him to teach himself, he must be worried that he would also participate in the imperial examination next year, Yu Tongfu couldn't help but have a huge increase in his favor towards Shi Zhongkui.

"Even if you don't say it, your father will ask you to practice more and practice calligraphy. I agree to this for you, and as long as you have a copybook for me, you can read it."

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed, "Then I would like to thank my brother."

Then one of them set the questions and the other memorized the follow-up articles.

For a moment, the main hall was filled with the sound of memorization, as well as the sound of surprise and strangeness.

Yu Tongfu didn't know about the fan, but Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, knew a lot of things.

I was surprised to see that he actually carried an ancient fan with him.

It seems that Shi Boqian only values ​​the imperial examinations and does not care about accidents.

This made Uncle Fu look at him even more. After all, the saying that everything is inferior but only high in reading has been used from ancient times to the present.

At the same time, I feel that this person is too utilitarian.

Most people don’t know how to abandon the things passed down from ancestors like worn-out shoes.

But from another perspective, those who do big things are people who are not particular about the details.

Thinking of Shi Zhongkui being called Shi Daizi before, Uncle Fu was like Yu Honggao, he mistakenly thought that he was hiding his weaknesses before.

And deliberately creates the illusion of a fool to protect the ancestral things.

Thinking of this, Uncle Fu felt that Shi Zhongkui was taking out the fan at this time, which was a clever move.

If you know clearly in your heart, you have to make contributions if you want to get it.

I also understand what I am not bad, and I also find ways to improve myself. This is self-knowledge.

Although he had a lottery, it did not affect Yu Tongfu's study, which was aware of advancement and retreat.

And this last point is also the most rare.

Uncle Fu even thought that if Shi Zhongkui had seen it clearly, his master would not have been proud and had no children because he was 24 years old and ranked fifth in the second grade.

Or like him, he suffered enough hardships and suffered all the favors in his family, and would not waste more than ten years. Now he is nearly 40 years old, and he is still a sixth-rank magistrate of Daxing.

Generally, the magistrate is in the seventh rank of the upper county and the lower county is in the seventh rank, and the provincial capital or county directly under the capital will be higher.

Even when Bao Zhengquan was the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was directly two levels higher. If he was considered as the Grand Secretary of the Longtu Palace, he would be four levels higher.

As he thought about it, Shi Zhongkui probably thought it was troublesome, "If my brother doesn't admit defeat, it's better for me to memorize a certain article. What do you think?"

Everyone was surprised that Shi Zhongkui could recite more than a dozen paragraphs in a row, but he could recite them without saying a word. Now that he could recite them backwards, he immediately ignored the rules and started to talk nonsense.

Yu Tongfu was also shocked, and he had no intention of dealing with whether people were making noise.

"Don't joke with me, brother."

Then he spoke unconvincedly, "If you can really do it, I will help you compile a book for you and ask for a copy of the Chang'an Stele Forest from the master."

"really?"

If we talk about other stele forests, Shi Zhongkui really may not know about it. After all, he was just an ordinary office worker before, and he had no hobby of practicing calligraphy.

But when it comes to Chang'an Stele Forest, anyone who has seen the national treasure should not forget it.

This world was found in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, but in the Ming Dynasty, it turned a little.

After the Chen family in the previous dynasty was established for 160 years, the north was captured by the grassland again, and the north and south dynasties were once again a hundred years, and the current Great Zhou unified the world.

Therefore, the Stele Forest not only exists, but also continues from the Northern Song Dynasty to this day.
