Chapter 45: Familiarity with the Three Hundred Tang Poems
Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, was not particularly disappointed that Liu Zongzhou did not accept Zhang Yuan as his disciple. She comforted her son and said: "My son, don't be impatient. You are still young. During the year, just listen to books at home, practice calligraphy, and use less eyesight."
It’s better to take care of these eyes for a while.” Zhang’s mother, Ms. Lu, is already very satisfied with her son’s performance after he recovered from his eye disease. She doesn’t dare to expect her son to be a nurse at the age of seventeen, so she is very optimistic about the county’s plans for early next year.
, the second government examination is not very important.
Zhang Yuan responded: "My mother is right." He thought to himself: "Liu Zongzhou refused to teach me how to make art, so I can't learn eight-part essay. Youdao is a person who has read 300 Tang poems by heart, and can recite poems even if he can't. This year
After the yellow list of the provincial examination is announced, the essays that have won the exam will be printed and published as quickly as possible by the bookstore. From the Tongsheng Examination to the General Examination, there are all kinds of articles for the Palace Examination, just like the essays that scored full marks in the Chinese College Entrance Examination in later generations, it is easy
You can buy it, and my advantage lies in my vision and ability to learn and comprehend. As long as I work hard to figure it out, I will definitely be able to write eight-legged essays well."
Zhang Yuan made up his mind and put aside his apprenticeship with Liu Zongzhou. After lunch, he asked Wu Ling to invite Mr. Fan Zhen or Mr. Zhan Shiyuan to study for him. He would first read "Zhou Rites", "Etiquette",
After listening to the must-read books for sociology such as "Collected Works of Eight Scholars" and "Authentic Articles", you can then start to study the eight-legged essay intensively. Also, you must practice your writing vigorously and don't make others frown when they read it.
As soon as Wu Ling went out, he came back and said that the third young master was here.
Zhang E appeared in fresh clothes, followed by the young man Fu'er. Zhang E was in a good mood because he had just asked Wu Ling and knew that Zhang Yuan had also been rejected by Liu Zongzhou. Haha, it's a tough thing, he pretended.
With a sad look on his face, he said: "Meson, you can feel the anger I felt at that time. Liu Zongzhou bullied our brothers too much. How about we think of a way to drive that rotten scholar away from Dashan Temple and vent the bad anger in his heart?"
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Third brother, please don't have this idea. Mr. Qidong is a Confucian scholar whom I respect. It's not that he refuses to accept me as a disciple, but he refuses to teach me the art of eight-legged making early."
Zhang E curled his lips and said: "That's not the same thing. When you go to school, aren't you just learning eight-part essays? Why don't you ask him to teach you how to play chess?"
Zhang Yuan was too lazy to talk to Zhang E and asked, "Is there any news about the La Lu case yesterday?"
Zhang Yuan said: "I don't know. Neng Zhu is waiting there. I'll send someone to ask later."
Zhang E has no long-term interest in doing things. He is very interested today, but may not be interested tomorrow. Zhang Yuan reminded: "Third brother, don't always be so worried about Mr. Qidong. The one you hate is Yao Yiguan. Can you find out anything about him?"
Any personal evil?"
Zhang E scratched his head and said, "I forgot. I'm going to ask the servants if they heard anything."
Fu'er on the side whispered: "My young master has been busy discussing marriage these two days -"
"Talk too much." Zhang E shouted, and Fu'er quickly shut up.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Whose girl is so lucky that she wants to marry Mr. Zhang, who spends a lot of money?"
Zhang E said helplessly: "My mother is anxious for me to get a wife. She said that after marrying a wife, she can control my wild heart. How can I find three aunts and six women to go around to help me matchmakers? I have found a girl from the Kuaiji Shang family who is of the right age.
They are also from an aristocratic family, and they are well-matched to the Zhang family of Shanyin. However, the Shang family asked for my Gengtie, but did not send back the daughter's Gengtie. They said they wanted to see my character and my people first.
Isn’t it well-known to everyone that he was extremely extravagant and lusted after Qin Shihuang?”
Zhang Yuan laughed and said to himself: "You still have some self-awareness." He said: "I must be hearing it with my ears, and I want to see it with my eyes."
Zhang E nodded and said: "Absolutely, the Shang family just said that they want to see me first before making a decision. I walk all over the street and you can't see me anywhere. You insist on meeting me at a specific place. I am just a leftover for anyone to pick."
Well, hum, I will never go."
Zhang Yuandao: "It's a big matter of marriage, so let's go and give it a try."
Unexpectedly, Zhang E said, "Why don't you go on a blind date for me, Mr. Jie? You're not as handsome as me. If the Shang family can take a fancy to you, then I won't be able to help you."
Although Zhang E is a idiot who behaves absurdly, he does look somewhat handsome. Among Zhang Rulin's grandsons, Zhang E ranks first in terms of appearance. However, Zhang Yuan obviously does not think that he is uglier than Zhang E and pretends to be angry: "
Third brother, you are going too far."
Zhang E smiled and said: "I won't treat you badly. It is said that the Shang family in Kuaiji has three young girls, one aunt and two nephews. You and I will each marry one, but no one wants the remaining one. Go cry, haha."
It was rare for Zhang E to say a few serious words, and he only talked about these frivolous things. Zhang Yuan said: "Third brother, you can go about your business. I want to listen to the book. From now on, I have to ask you to arrange a guest to read for me every day."
"
Zhang E said: "I'm not busy with anything. I'm not in a hurry to study. Let's play a game of chess first?"
Zhang Yuan refused and said: "You can't beat me, you'd better find someone else to practice more."
Zhang E gave a dissatisfied "hum" and left. About a moment later, two Qingqing guests, Fan Zhen and Wu Ting, came to the door together. They heard that Master Jiezi wanted someone to read to him, so all the Qingqing guests at Xi Zhang's door
If you are enthusiastic and have nothing to do, it is not bad to earn five pieces of silver.
Without further ado, I started reading. I had finished reading the Three Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period and started reading "The Rites of Zhou". Zhang Yuan used Zeng Guofan's reading method. He would never read another book until he finished it. He read one book at a time, of course.
Qingke read while he listened. He now enjoys this learning method. Listening with ears not only saves energy, but also remembers it more firmly.
Fan Zhen and Wu Ting took turns reading for an hour and a half, and then Wu Ting guided Zhang Yuan to practice calligraphy. It was still the large characters of Yan Zhenqing's Magu stele. Wu Ting said that this stele should be copied for at least half a year before changing to lower regular script. This is the basis.
, I can't go beyond it, and I also praise Master Jiezi's great improvement in writing power, and he will be able to change to lower regular script by the end of the year.
In the evening, Fan and Wu had just left. Jian Nengzhu came over and reported the case to Zhang Yuan. He said that the ten tigers of Shanyin had captured nine tigers, but only one escaped. These tigers were imprisoned as soon as possible.
Many people in the county who had been oppressed by him went to the county government to accuse him of bluffing. It is estimated that exile and military confinement are inevitable.
For the next few days, Zhang Yuan listened to books and practiced calligraphy at home without leaving the house. On the morning of the 29th day of the month, Da Shitou, who answered the door, ran in and said: "Young Master, there is a big man with a yellow beard who wants to call me."
See the young master."
As soon as Zhang Yuan heard this, he knew that it was Mu Jingyan from Sandai Street. This Huangxu Lishi must have recovered from his illness and came to thank him, so he asked Wu Ling to welcome Mu Jingyan in first, and then he came to the front hall to meet him.
Mu Zhenzhen is also here. She has been selling oranges in Dashan Temple Square every day these days, but she never meets Young Master Zhang. The day before yesterday, she had the courage to ask Zhang Yuan, the youngest student, why Young Master Zhang didn’t come to study?
The answer is, sir, he didn’t keep it——
As soon as Mu Jingyan saw Zhang Yuan coming out, he knelt down, and Mu Zhenzhen naturally followed suit. Mu Jingyan said: "Young Master Zhang's kindness can never be repaid by a villain."
Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Mu Jingyan up. This big man with a yellow beard looked completely different today than he did that day. Although his demeanor was still humble, the simple movements of kneeling and standing up were clearly sharper and more powerful than Zhang Yuan's.
A head taller.
Zhang Yuan asked Mu's father and daughter to sit down and talk, but they refused to sit down. Just then, a doorman from the county school office suddenly came and said that Sun Jiaoyu from the school office wanted to see Zhang Yuan and asked Zhang Yuan to come immediately.
Meet at the school office.
In the Ming Dynasty, prefectures, prefectures, and counties all had academic offices and academic officials. The prefectural school had one professor, the prefecture school had one prefect, and the county school had one instructor.
Tongsheng, all students are under the supervision of the teaching edict. Some students are not afraid of the county magistrate but are afraid of the edict. It should be because the county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Zhang Yuan is not even a Tongsheng now, and he has not gone to social studies. Logically speaking
The county office's edict has nothing to do with him, so what does Sun Jiao's edict say to him?
Zhang Yuan asked Mu Jingyan and his daughter to wait here, and he would come back as soon as he went.
