Chapter 1141 Lin Daiyu asks for medicine, Jia Yucun takes a test
Wait until Jia Zheng gets off work.
The four Qingqing guests took out Su Mingzhe's words and began to say goodbye:
"Old man, my brother's talents and knowledge are enough to win the college examination. Even if I take the provincial examination, I'm afraid I'm somewhat sure. The four of us don't dare to delay my future at any cost. We also ask my old man to seek guidance from famous teachers."
Brother Shi!"
After listening to the words of the four Qing guests and looking at the square "University", Jia Zheng was both happy and melancholy.
"That little bastard has already had a bad reputation. Where can I find another master for him?"
The four Qingke glanced at each other, and Shan Pinren took the initiative to remind:
"I'm afraid I've forgotten someone!"
"who?"
"Master Jia Hua Jia Shifei lives in the front yard!"
A month ago, Jia Yucun went to Beijing with Lin Daiyu and asked Jia Zheng to help plan his "reinstatement."
It is written in the book that Jia Yucun waited "less than two months, and there was a vacancy in Jinling Yingtian Mansion, so he made up his mind to fill the vacancy, resigned from Jia Zheng, and took office on a different day."
Now, Jia Yucun has only been in Beijing for a month, and the vacancy at Jinling Yingtian Mansion has not yet been released. He is still living in the guest room in the front yard of Rongguo Mansion, waiting to fill the vacancy.
When Jia Zheng heard that the four people were talking about Jia Yucun, he was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to invite Jia Yucun.
the other side.
Su Mingzhe, who was painting with Sister Lin, didn't know that Jia Zheng was looking for a new teacher for him.
The weather is cold today.
Su Mingzhe and Sister Lin didn't go out either, they just hid in the blue gauze cupboard and painted pictures of ladies.
Sister Lin wore a plain long skirt with a narrow waist and modeled for Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe painted a few strokes, then walked over and guided Sister Lin to assume a new posture.
Suddenly, Sister Lin heard the sound of the door opening, and quickly swatted away the man's strange hand on her waist, and moved a little away:
"Second brother, paint well and don't make mistakes!"
The maid Zijuan came in with a bowl of spring water. When she saw the two people avoiding suspicion, she immediately smiled and joked:
"We're not outsiders, why are you two avoiding me?"
"Who is avoiding you?"
Lin Daiyu didn't like to communicate with outsiders, but Zijuan was very considerate to her. They had only been master and servant for more than a month, and they could already tell jokes.
Seeing the two girls playing around, Su Mingzhe could only laugh dryly and asked:
"What time is it now? Is it almost time for dinner?"
"That's not true. But, Second Master, didn't you say that the 'Pei Yuan Dan' is most effective when taken in the late afternoon?"
As Zicuckoo spoke, she poured out a small yellow pill with a red pattern from a jade box and put it into the bowl of spring water.
The pills dissolve when exposed to water.
Lin Daiyu took the bowl of water and drank it slowly. She felt a warmth rising in her belly and spreading throughout her body.
This is already the third Peiyuan Pill she has taken.
The problem of being slightly breathless while walking in the past has long since disappeared.
Not only that, problems such as lung fever and cold hands and feet while sleeping at night have also been greatly reduced.
Su Mingzhe waited for Sister Lin to take the medicine, then smiled and said:
"This medicine is a bit strong. I'm afraid that Sister Lin will feel sleepy after taking it. You might as well lie down and rest for a while. We'll see you in the evening."
"Second brother, wait a minute."
As Lin Daiyu spoke, she grabbed the man's sleeve and said with a slightly red face:
"Second brother, you said last time that this Pei Yuan Dan can be taken by both men and women, regardless of age, right?"
"It's really something everyone can take."
Su Mingzhe affirmed at first, but then explained:
"However, although the effect of my elixir is mild, it must be prevented from not being replenished. For example, a weak person like you, Yu'er, can only take one pill every five days, while ordinary people can take one pill every three days. Ge. Yu'er, who are you giving this to?"
"I want to send some to my dad."
Lin Daiyu's clear and bright eyes revealed a feeling of longing and said:
"Now my second brother has cured my old illness, but my father is busy with official duties every day and has been ill..."
"Yu'er's words reminded me!"
Su Mingzhe was afraid that Lin Daiyu would be homesick and cry again, so he quickly blamed himself:
"It's all my fault. I was so unscrupulous that I only cared about you, Yu'er, but forgot about the elders of the family!"
"Bah, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"
Lin Daiyu also didn't expect that the man would dare to tease her in front of the maid. Her face was so shy that she could only push the man out of her boudoir angrily.
When Su Mingzhe went out, he turned back and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Yu'er, I will make more furnaces in the past few days, and I will never forget my uncle's share."
After hearing this, Lin Daiyu in the room spread her pretty face, pursed her lips and smiled, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day.
Jia Zheng sent someone to ask for leave and did not go to work.
After Su Mingzhe learned about it, he could only come to Rongxi Hall on time to study.
When he arrived at Rongxi Hall, he found that the four Qingqing guests were not there, but there was a stranger.
Jia Zheng introduced to his son:
"Ying'er, this is Mr. Jia Shifei. He was born as a Jinshi. He is well-read in poetry and books and has excellent literary talent. Now he is a guest at home. My father invites him to come and give you some guidance in the next month or so. It is better than you studying behind closed doors. It’s crooked.”
Su Mingzhe didn't guess Jia Yucun's identity for a moment, but he just learned that the other party was a Jinshi, so he didn't want to be negligent, so he immediately raised his hands in salute and called him "Sir".
Jia Yucun smiled and said:
"Brother Baoyu, don't want to see anyone outside. We are from the same clan. How old is Brother Yu and Chi? You and I can be worthy of each other!"
"That little brother has overstepped his bounds!"
Su Mingzhe responded accordingly.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue. There will be more exciting things to come!
Jia Yucun was living under someone else's roof and it was not easy for him to put on airs, so he started to compare with Su Mingzhe in a gentle tone.
Regarding Jia Zheng's second son, Jia Yucun once heard Leng Zixing, the son-in-law of Jia Rui, the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, comment that this boy was a "drunkard" who didn't like to study.
Therefore, when Su Mingzhe asked him to take a test, Jia Yucun didn't take it seriously. The questions in the test were still relatively basic, and they were all "standard questions" from the Four Books and Five Classics.
After a while, Jia Yucun found that Su Mingzhe responded fluently, and knew that Su Mingzhe's knowledge was solid, which was completely different from what Leng Zixing said.
Jia Yucun immediately became more serious, and unconsciously increased the difficulty of the questions and began to ask some 'development questions'.
Su Mingzhe still answered calmly, without any trace of nervousness.
Jia Yucun asked more than a dozen questions in a row and found that he couldn't help this 'problem boy'.
By this time, Jia Yucun looked at Su Mingzhe with more admiration:
"My dear brother, I will ask another question: 'Today I get off the train on the same track, write the same article, and do the same thing.' Do you know how to solve the question?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned when he heard this. He was going to take a test on his eight-part essay!
Although the Daqing Dynasty inherited the Ming Dynasty system, it also implemented the eight-part essay system to recruit scholars.
However, the eight-part essay examination only appears in the provincial examination and the joint examination.
In both the scholar and palace examinations, there is no need to take the stereotyped essay test.
Among them, the exam for scholars is limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, with at most adding some common sense knowledge points, as well as poems and songs.
Su Mingzhe is not even considered a boy now, and Jia Yucun actually wants to take a test on his eight-part essay, which makes him stunned for a moment.
However, after being stunned, Su Mingzhe replied directly:
"This sentence comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean", Confucius said: "Foolish people like to use themselves..."
After memorizing a passage of the original text, Su Mingzhe explained the original meaning of the text again, and then began to solve the problem based on the interconnections in the Four Books and Five Classics.
After hearing this, Jia Yucun felt that Su Mingzhe's way of solving the problem was not in line with what he thought was Confucianism of the mean.
However, he also discovered that Su Mingzhe's idea of solving the problem was extremely sophisticated, and he must have done in-depth research on the eight-legged essay.
Thinking of this, Jia Yucun looked at Su Mingzhe as if he were looking at a monster.
This little guy seems to be only twelve years old. At such a young age, he has made such a thorough study of the eight-part essay and has such talent and talent. With a little effort, he will definitely be named on the gold list one day.
By then, the Jia family, which has already reached sunset, may no longer have to rely on this boy.
