Yuzhu quickly got out of the car and saw Qin Benchu and Zha Siting standing side by side not far away, looking at him with a smile.
"Students pay their respects to Mr. Qin and Mr. Hengpu." Yuzhu walked over quickly, bowed deeply and saluted.
Zha Siting said with a smile: "Mr. Qin insisted on coming to see you off, but I couldn't resist him, so I came with him."
When Yuzhu heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and bowed extremely respectfully.
Qin Benchu waved his hand and said: "Yuzhu, you are the most organized student I have ever taught. The questions you have done are divided into categories, extremely detailed and very targeted. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, every year has been
, Jiangnan Province has produced more than twenty number one scholars, and their learning methods are roughly similar to yours. I am here to see you off today just to tell you that the path you are taking is the right one."
How could Yuzhu not understand that Qin Benchu had taught the top scholars in the south of the Yangtze River a secret that had not been passed on?
In fact, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Jiangnan Province accounted for more than half of the more than 100 number one scholars.
It would be nonsense to say that the top-ranked teachers have not mastered the rules of examinations.
Qin Benchu was also a member of the Jiangnan Scholars. With his status and position, he could only speak to this extent.
"Master Qin has always taught his students step by step and carefully. The students are not too stupid, so they naturally feel deeply grateful for the teacher's kindness." Yuzhu's words are definitely not flattery.
Due to the material disputes of Jiangnan Shilin, Qin Benchu seemed to be alienated from Yuzhu.
However, the various unique scientific research materials that Zha Siting secretly gave to Yuzhu were actually given to him secretly by Qin Benchu.
Not only that, Yuzhu’s extracurricular homework was also assigned by Qin Benchu himself.
"We say goodbye today. I don't know when we can see each other again." Qin Benchu waved to the boy, who was holding several hundred taels of silver notes in his hands.
"I have wronged you in the past few months. Well, this is the money you paid to the academy, and now the original is returned." Qin Benchu raised his hand to block Yuzhu's possible excuse, and said seriously, "I have indeed wronged you.
Qin is very sorry."
Yuzhu never expected that Qin Benchu would actually bow to him and apologize in front of everyone.
"Master Qin, please don't offend the students." Yuzhu hurriedly dodged aside, not daring to accept Qin Benchu's courtesy.
After Qin Benchu stood up straight, he said earnestly: "Today's Jiangnan Shilin is no more solid in its academic style than in the past, and it is far less humble and polite than before. Qin looked on with cold eyes and continued to expand like this. Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss. You
Although you are a bannerman, you can still be regarded as a member of the Jiangnan Shilin family. If there is a disaster in the Jiangnan Shilin community in the future, I will save you if you can. If you cannot save me, I will not blame you as a teacher."
Yuzhu greatly admired Qin Benchu's foresight and said to himself, Jiang is still hotter when he is old.
From the forty-eighth year of Kangxi’s reign, scholars in the south of the Yangtze River were involved in a massive literary scandal involving cases such as “Nanshan Collection” and “History of the Ming Dynasty”.
The famous talented man Jin Shengtan was implicated and lost his head along with the Jiangnan scholars who wrote random books.
"Master Qin, Master Cha, both of you are well-educated Confucians. You must have known for a long time that since the Qin Emperor, the number of melon copycats who danced with literature and ink has increased day by day. The Han Dynasty had the disaster of party imprisonment, the Tang Dynasty had the disaster of secret policemen, and the Song Dynasty had the disaster of
In the Wutai Poetry Case, there is clearly a stele of Donglin Party members. As for this dynasty, it’s okay not to mention it.”
Yuzhu could not directly state what had not happened yet, so he could only use hints to remind Qin Benchu and Cha Siting that it would be safer to stay away from the leaders of Jiangnan Shilin.
Qin Benchu and Cha Siting are both scholars who have read history books. How could they not hear the serious warning in Yuzhu's words?
See you off for a thousand miles, but we must say goodbye in the end!
Yuzhu left his home's detailed address and Longkodo's famous post, and said goodbye to Qin Benchu and Cha Siting in tears.
Two days later, Yuzhu revisited his old place and once again visited the Jiangnan Academic and Political Yamen.
"Disciple Yuzhu, pay homage to Master He."
"I have read all the articles you have written." He Zichang still had a cold face, as if Yuzhu owed him eight million taels of silver.
Yuzhu had long been accustomed to all kinds of cold looks in Jiuhua Academy. Gujing Wubo stood upright, quietly waiting for He Zichang's next words.
"Qin Benchu's talent is ten times better than mine, and I have nothing to teach you."
However, Yuzhu silently waited for He Zichang's turning point.
Sure enough, He Zichang said coldly: "However, I have one more thing to say. You must do your best during the rites examination, and your achievements will surely shock the world."
"Take it, this is a little bit of my experience in hosting scientific examinations over the years. I hope it can be of some use." He Zichang pointed at the table next to him.
Yuzhu took a closer look and saw that Ganqing was a thick stack of manuscripts, as high as the palm of his hand.
"I'm busy, so I won't keep you here." He Zichang picked up the tea cup and deliberately didn't drink it.
Yuzhu was very thick-skinned. He didn't care about the rules of serving tea and seeing off guests. He cupped his hands and said, "This disciple still wants to stay and study with his uncle."
"Humph, how can it be of any use to act like a rogue here?" He Zichang was angry, grabbed a book with random hands, and threw it at the jade pillar.
Yuzhu didn't dare to hide, so he stretched out his hands and took the book. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was the treasure he sent last time.
"Let's go, don't make any noise." He Zichang stood up, walked straight away with square steps.
Although Yuzhu was left on the spot, he was very grateful in his heart. He Zichang did not take half a dime from him, but gave him the manuscript summarizing the secrets of the imperial examination.
It can be said that he is both honest and humane.
To be honest, at a time when there are almost no officials and no corruption, Yuzhu is still very happy to have a master like He Zichang.
Come on, the master is gone. No matter how rogue Yuzhu is, he can no longer stay in Xuezheng Yamen.
Yuzhu held the secret given by He Zichang in both hands and walked out of Xuezheng Yamen with a smile.
On the pier, the large ships that Yuzhu came to last time have been docked at the pier for several months.
On the same day, several large ships set sail and sailed down the river to Jiangning.
Qingtai kept Yuzhu in the general's mansion for half a month. Since it was almost late June, he reluctantly let him go back north.
However, there is a beautiful little girl, Qingwen, in the fleet returning to the north.
The Cao family sent Qingwen to the General's Mansion early. According to Zhao Shan, the chief steward of the General's Mansion, after the Cao family sent Qingwen, Cao Fu wandered around in front of the mansion almost every day, wanting to enter but not daring to break in.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the woman Cao Fu liked was taken away by him, but he didn't have the courage to argue with him. He was indeed a coward like Big Face Bao!
On the boat, Yuzhu secretly observed for a few days. He found that Qingwen did not cry or make trouble, and was as quiet as if she was visiting an acquaintance's house.
Yuzhu secretly wondered, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized that he had thought wrong.
Qingwen had just been given to Cao Fu by Mrs. Sun not long ago, and her feelings for her were not deep yet.
After meeting Sun Chengen again at the Zhenjiang ship lock, the fleet headed north.
