The "toothpaste" used by the father and son now is more advanced than those in the Tokyo Palace. Song Huizong only used green salt and pepper to brush his teeth, and they also added aconite, which has the effect of repairing bones and strengthening teeth.
Toothbrushes were already very popular in the Song Dynasty. Apart from the material difference, the appearance is exactly the same as it was hundreds of years later.
However, farmers are not so particular, and most of them don't brush their teeth. Those who prefer cleanliness also use plant fibers such as wicker to brush their teeth.
"Brother, my teeth are loose and it hurts when I brush them."
Bai Qi was also taught to brush his teeth together. Now he was standing next to Ju Ming, grinning and raising his head.
Ju Ming looked at it and said with a smile: "You are changing your teeth. Don't brush too hard."
"What is tooth replacement?" Bai Qi asked.
Ju Ming explained: "It means that if the teeth fall out, they will grow back and bite with more strength."
"Oh." Bai Qi was a little panicked.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood under the eaves and watched. After the father and son finished brushing their teeth, they immediately went back to the house to get two pieces of clothes.
Shen Yourong took it to Zhu Guoxiang, and Mrs. Yan shouted to Zhu Ming: "Da Lang, come in and try on your new clothes."
These are two silk clothes that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made in a hurry.
Watching Ju Ming change his clothes, Grandma Yan said with a smile: "Students should have some dignity. It just so happens that our family will not pay summer food this year, so we can save a lot of silk. I will accompany you to study for the past few days. Don't wear any more clothes." Mai, you are really making people laugh."
Shen Yourong said nothing, just watching Zhu Guoxiang changing clothes, his eyes watery and affectionate.
Grandma Yan was happy but also a little sentimental: "My unlucky son was fourteen years old when he went to the county to study. He was about the same age as Da Lang. I also asked him to wear silk clothes when he went out."
Ju Ming comforted him: "Don't be sad, grandma. From now on, my father will be your son."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yan turned around, looked at Zhu Guoxiang who had changed into silk clothes, and suddenly said happily: "What a talented person."
In addition to new clothes, there are also silk scarves.
The father and son traveled through time for more than three months. Although their hair had grown longer, it was still too early to tie it up and put it into a bun. They usually wrapped their heads with Gebu scarves.
The scarf style is most suitable for them, wrapping the top of their heads tightly.
In the past, people were wrapped in Ge cloth scarves, also called Ge cloth scarves, which were mostly worn by common people. Today, they are wrapped in silk cloth scarves, also called Feng cloth scarves, which are mostly worn by nobles and nobles.
Bai Qi was so excited that these clothes were so beautiful, he wanted to wear them too.
Shen Yourong stroked his son's head and warned him, "Brother Qi, you must study hard. From now on, when you become more knowledgeable, you will be able to wear clothes like this."
"Mom, I must work hard." Bai Qi became more motivated.
I stayed at home in the morning and went to see Lu Tixue in the afternoon. Zhu Guoxiang wanted to present an article on agriculture.
The status of father and son was once again elevated. When they arrived at the door of Bai's house, they were taken in directly by the servants without any further notification.
Lu Tixue is busy, and it is his own job - commenting on the meaning of Shizi Jingyi.
The twenty accompanying scholars from this county have brought not only poems but also scriptures and texts. They are now queuing up in the courtyard, one by one, bringing scriptures and texts for review.
"Success is coming, come here and help me review the essay." Lu Tixue already regarded Zhu Ming as his junior.
Zhu Ming handed over his hand and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I dare not evaluate the classics and meanings."
"I'll let you comment, just comment, don't refuse," Lu Tixue pointed at the group of scholars, "The three at the end, hand over your scriptures and texts to Chenggong."
The three scholars were a little reluctant. Although they admitted that Ju Ming was knowledgeable, he was definitely not as good as the dignified scholar.
However, if the envoy gives orders, you must obey them even if you don't want to.
Ju Ming cupped his hands and said, "I'm presumptuous."
"It's okay, let's learn from each other." The three scholars returned the greeting.
The title of the first chapter is: Confucius said that attacking heretics would only cause harm.
Zhu Ming scanned the article first and found that it was not in the eight-legged format. Looking at the topic again, it seemed a bit mediocre. The subsequent discussion was quite exciting, but some parts seemed bloated and confusing.
Evaluating other people's articles is different from writing your own articles.
Ju Ming may not be good at writing, but he is very good at commenting!
Just like a gourmet, he or she cooks ordinary food, but when he evaluates others, he is very reasonable.
Another example is a certain Chasing Dreams director whose film reviews are full of flowers and colorful, but when he makes his own movies, he makes shit.
Zhu Ming first circled the bloated part, meaning that he asked the author to rewrite it. Then, he directly changed the part that broke the title and wrote one sentence: The world has different paths but the same destination. If you know its origin, everyone will do good deeds.
The scholar who wrote this classic text was stunned when he saw the broken title. He was surprised and said: "This is Uncle He Ping (He Yan)'s annotation of Wei Linggong. It is just right to use it to break this sentence. Why didn't I think of it?"
?”
Zhu Ming laughed and said: "Uncle He Ping is also quoting "The Book of Changes·Xici Zhuan". The Analects of Confucius and the "Book of Changes" are connected in these places."
The scholar was so impressed that he bowed his head and said, "I've been taught a lesson! No wonder they say they have successfully mastered the Three Classics."
Even the scholars who were waiting in line to learn how to comment on Lu Ti couldn't help turning around after hearing this, wanting to know what Ju Ming had just written.
Lu Tixue waved: "Bring it here."
Before Ju Ming could leave, the scholar came over with the article.
After Lu Tixue read it, he praised: "If you succeed in taking the imperial examination, you will definitely get the high school Jinshi!"
Ju Ming just smiled and knew his own affairs. He would definitely be awesome if asked to solve the problem, but to write the entire sutra beautifully, he would have to train hard for at least a year and a half.
Ju Ming also quickly provided revision suggestions for the next two texts on scriptures and meanings.
Seeing this situation, Lu Tixue gave him three more articles.
The two of them worked together to review all the articles. Lu Tixue warned students: "The Book of Changes is the ancestor of hundreds of classics. Even if you do not study the Book of Changes, you should read it more often. It will be great for you to write the meaning of the classics."
It’s good. Of the six articles written by Cheng Chengju, he used the Book of Changes in four of them. The words are concise but concise, and the technique is really excellent.”
"We have learned a lesson!"
The scholars first bowed to Lu Ti and then turned around to salute Ju Ming.
This is related to their future in the imperial examination. What you have learned is what you have learned, and you must pay due respect.
After talking about learning for a while, Lu Tixue picked up Zhu Guoxiang's agricultural article.
Chapter 1: How to rotate rice and rapeseed.
From controlling water and drought conditions to raising seedlings, to raising and transplanting rapeseed seedlings, all the precautions in each link are clearly written.
In particular, those meticulous management are extremely helpful to areas with developed water conservancy. The poor people at the bottom who have no access to water cannot follow the instructions casually. If they are not careful, they will lose their control. Zhu Guoxiang repeatedly warned in the article.
Part Two: Thirteen Methods for Interplanting.
Through how to interplant crops, he explains the needs of plants for soil, sunlight, water, air, and fertility. He also divides fertilizers into categories. He calls nitrogen fertilizer soybean fertilizer, potassium fertilizer he calls gray fertilizer, and phosphorus fertilizer he calls bone fertilizer.
It also discusses in detail the circumstances under which these fertilizers cannot be mixed.
Part 3: Sweet potato cultivation and consumption.
Part 4: Corn cultivation and consumption.
Chapter 5: Male and female flowers and artificial pollination.
For the time being, I only wrote these contents. Lu Tixue gained a lot after reading it and said to Zhu Guoxiang: "I will add some more in the future and I will compile it into "Yuanzhang Nongshu"."
"We must make up for it and send it to Xingyuan Mansion when the corn is harvested." Zhu Guoxiang said.
Lu Tixue suddenly asked: "Yuanzhang really doesn't understand the meaning and rhetoric of the classics?"
Zhu Guoxiang said: "The seven orifices open up the six orifices."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Tixue was amused and laughed.
Lu Tixue took everyone and walked to the riverside to enjoy the wind. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Xixiang County deserves to be called the Qinling Xiaojiangnan."
"It's a pity that there are too many mountains." Xiang Zhixian said.
The climate in Xixiang County is very suitable for living and farming, and it is even praised by UNESCO as "one of the most suitable places for human habitation".
The only disadvantage is that there are many mountains and there are too few places to grow rice and wheat. Moreover, the main farming areas are concentrated around the county. Shangbai Village and Daming Village are both remote and remote areas.
For the next few days, Lu Tixue spent his time sightseeing.
This old man was already fifty years old. He could climb the hills and climbs as fast as he could and made all the scholars miserable.
Everyone cheered when they heard that he was about to return to the county.
Before leaving, Lu Ti asked Bai Zongwang: "Thanks to the hospitality these days, your son is studying in Yangzhou?"
Bai Zongwang quickly replied: "The dog's name is Bai Chongyan, and his courtesy name is Juncai. He once won the imperial examination."
Lu Tixue nodded and said he remembered. Bai Zongwang was overjoyed. The service these days was finally not in vain.
The father and son finally decided to give gifts. Zhu Guoxiang held the Hu pen and said: "My family is poor and has nothing, so let's give a pen as a gift."
Lu Tixue didn't take it seriously and just asked his entourage to accept it.
He said to Ju Ming: "Successful young people are knowledgeable and talented. Remember to study hard and don't hurt Zhongyong."
"Thank you for your admonishment." Zhu Ming bowed.
Everyone moved to board the ship, and the scholars clasped their fists to say goodbye. They were completely convinced. Whether it was scriptures or poems, this could not be faked, not to mention that Ju Ming also helped comment on the article, which benefited several scholars a lot.
These are representatives of scholars in this county. After they go home, Ju Ming's talent and learning will surely spread throughout the county.
Watching the fleet go away, Bai Dalang sighed with emotion: "I'm finally gone. This envoy is really hard to serve."
Bai Zongwang said: "Come here."
Bai Dalang hurriedly came closer, and then he cried out in pain: "Dad, why did you hit me?"
Bai Zongwang said angrily: "No matter how difficult it is to serve the academic envoy, I would like to keep him for a few more days. This is an academic officer, and he is the biggest in Lizhou Road. The longer he stays in our house, the more beneficial it will be to your third brother!"
"I...I know." Bai Dalang covered his forehead, his expression a little aggrieved.
Bai Zongwang said to his father and son again: "Thank you very much for your help these days, otherwise it would be difficult to serve the academic officers well."
"It should be." said the father and son.
Bai Zongwang asked: "Why don't you let me help arrange the marriage between Brother Yuanzhang and Lady Shen?"
Zhu Guoxiang said: "No need, just set up a few tables."
But it was said that Lu Tixue returned to the county seat and stayed there for another day before turning back to Yangzhou.
After he passed the fast and dangerous Huangjin Gorge, he took out a brush to write an article on the boat. He finally remembered the Hu brush given by his father and son. He didn't take it seriously, so he smoothed it out and started writing. As soon as he wrote, he felt something was wrong.
This is a wool pen, which requires a high level of calligraphy skills.
After writing and researching repeatedly, Lu Tixue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This big Zhu and Xiao Zhu actually hide good goods and give them gifts. I can't explain why I don't help."
