After a snowstorm, the clear sea returned to calm.
On the blue sea, a few seagulls flew over and made crisp calls.
The surviving merchant ships, followed by the official ships, recovered after about twenty days, and their psychological shadows had gone away a lot. At this time, some people walked out of the cabins, facing the early morning sea breeze, and feeling the rare comfortable weather.
Although this comfort is only relative, in winter, no matter how gentle the wind is, it will bring a chill.
Seeing several businessmen walking past him, they kept coughing, which made Shao Sisen's throat feel itchy. He tried hard to suppress his disgust and quickened his pace.
Many of the people who were rescued in the sea snake incident were placed on official ships. Shao Sisen took the opportunity to change ships in order to avoid Su Ziji and avoid the embarrassment of seeing each other every day.
But after changing boats, we discovered that some of the people on the same boat were rescued from the sea. Although the accompanying military doctor boiled up medicine and distributed it to everyone, they still suffered from the pain after falling into the sea for so long in the winter.
How can it be so easy to be frightened and think that nothing has happened?
For more than ten days, nearly twenty days, Shao Sisen could always hear suppressed coughs as soon as he got on the ship. Therefore, he couldn't stay on the ship where he was staying, so he always made an excuse to go to Su Ziji to stay away from these sick people.
I don’t know if the imperial envoy is biased. There are also people on the ship, but the people on Su Zi’s ship are all recovering well. Every time they go there, they feel depressed.
It was the same today. Shao Sisen had a hurried breakfast and arrived on the deck of Su Ziji's ship.
In the distance was the roaring ocean. On the deck, two young men who had changed their clothes were holding swords. They kept getting closer and then apart. The sound of fencing kept ringing. They were fighting with swords.
There are tables and chairs on the side of the deck, with tea and snacks placed, and a table with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and some manuscripts.
A few soldiers were idle, leaning not far away, laughing and pointing, obviously very interested in the fight between the two men.
The one who has the upper hand in the field is Qin Mao, who is mostly injured. He is dressed in a short gray suit and has an ordinary long sword in his hand. However, when he makes a move, the long sword can exude a fierce sword intent.
The young man in black who barely fought with him was Su Ziji.
If Shao Sisen hadn't known Su Ziji, he wouldn't have believed that this young man with a dashing temperament was actually the number one scholar in Taixue who surpassed him in literary talent.
"Brother Su Xian, I accept the concession." At this moment, the winner was clearly decided between the two people in the field.
Qin Mao directly used a decisive move, the tip of the sword touched Su Ziji's chest, and Su Ziji's sword was also pointed at Qin Mao, but it was not a critical point.
Qin Mao then sheathed his sword, and because he was in a good mood, he even held a sword flower on his arm. He smiled and said to Su Ziji: "Brother Su Xian, you don't have to be discouraged. Your swordsmanship is already very good, but this is what scholars use after all."
Weapons and techniques are not the killing techniques used in real battlefield fighting."
What I didn’t say in the second half was that it was not unfair for you to lose to me.
"[Ziqing Free Gift] Level 6 (35/6000)"
Su Ziji smiled, Qin Mao's martial arts was good, but compared with others, it was still far behind. However, he was a scholar. If he wanted to change his sword skills from dark to bright, there must be a process and source. Gentleman Sword
The sword manual is a prop for concealment, and it is now used in the fighting practice with Qin Mao.
The Gentleman's Sword is indeed not a killing technique.
Just as he was about to speak, someone unexpectedly interrupted: "Brother Su Xian is a student of the Imperial Academy. He will also take the imperial examination route in the future. There is no need to go to battle in person."
These words made the two people present at a loss as to how to answer the conversation.
The scene suddenly turned cold.
As soon as Shao Sisen said these words, he found that the atmosphere had cooled down and he was a little annoyed.
For twenty days on the ship, even though Shao Sisen changed ships, he had to come here frequently. The benefits were not lost, and his life was even more uncomfortable than Su Ziji's.
On the other hand, Su Ziji's relationship with Qin Mao warmed up rapidly, but as time passed, Qin Mao was still only superficially polite to him, but actually turned a blind eye to him.
This was nothing at first, but when I thought about it, the two imperial envoys and even the soldiers on the ship treated Su Ziji differently, which made it a bit unpleasant.
It was difficult for Shao Sisen not to get a little emotional when he was introduced to the Ministry of War by the same Imperial College student and received two different treatments.
But thinking it was the same thing, it felt a little uncomfortable to say it. Shao Sisen was annoyed and wanted to make up for the words he blurted out.
As a result, at this time, the imperial envoy's ship docked with the ship, and some soldiers jumped over and said to Su Ziji: "Master Su, Master Shangshu wants to see you."
He saw Shao Sisen again and said, "It turns out that Mr. Shao is here, so there is no need for me to make another trip. Master Shangshu also mentioned you, so please come with me now."
"Please wait a moment and let me change my clothes." Su Ziji's clothes were soaked with sweat from fighting with Qin Mao. Neither his clothes nor his appearance at this time were suitable for meeting the imperial envoy.
The soldier nodded and smiled: "Young master, go quickly, I will wait here."
He looks familiar at first glance.
Su Ziji turned around and entered the cabin.
Shao Sisen, on the other hand, had just changed his clothes and was on Su Zi's ship, so he didn't bother going back and forth. The waiting time made him stand a little awkwardly. He unknowingly walked to the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The table was full of manuscripts. I took one and read it. After reading only two lines, I was attracted.
"Although the content is brief, the words are solid. They are the key points and experiences in the examination of scholars. Looking at the handwriting, could it be written by Su Ziji?"
The content is written simply and concisely, and it is no exaggeration to say that every word is exquisite.
After putting this one down, Shao Sisen picked up a few more and looked at them. It turned out that this one involved test points and experiences in the examination of people. They were also concise and very insightful.
"This is a rare experience!"
Although Shao Sisen had never taken the examination, he was a senior student and had considerable literary talent and knowledge, so he could directly participate in the examination.
There is more than one Jinshi in the family. How could Shao Sisen fail to see the practicality and ingenuity of this summary of experience?
Even if your talent is average, as long as you work hard enough, don't slack off, and learn based on this experience, you won't dare to judge others, and you will be a scholar nine out of ten.
"Is this written by Su Ziji for his descendants?" Shao Sisen put down the manuscript and stopped reading. Since this thing is too precious, even he has a lot of benefits, and he feels suddenly enlightened. If he continues to read, there is always a feeling that is coming to him.
The feeling of taking advantage, and therefore, the mood is quite complicated.
This kind of summary of experience has always been done after becoming a Jinshi official and having nothing to do. How old is Su Ziji? He is not yet seventeen years old!
Such a person actually starts to worry about future generations?
When Su Ziji changed into a cotton robe and came out, Shao Sisen asked him face to face: "Brother Su Xian, I just read this and I think every word is very clever. Could it be that you have already started to make plans for your descendants?"
"That's the reason, but it's not all." Su Ziji smiled: "Some of my former friends still need to take the scholar examination, and some have to prepare for the judicial examination. Some content is written for these friends.
