"Brothers, the provincial exams are only a few days away, and the government schools are on holiday. Let's see each other in autumn." Su Ziji bowed quietly, glanced at it, and sighed inwardly, in this reading group, he was not
Done.
After saving half a year of studying hard, it is not outstanding. If after saving two or three years of studying hard, a large number of scholars in his own government were elected, it would be shocking, and maybe the imperial court would be alarmed.
"This is a blessing and a disaster." The white-eyed wolf was afraid that the more progress he made, the more jealous he would become, and how could Su Ziji feed them again.
"Ding Ruili didn't come either."
June and July were immersed in studying for Su Ziji. In these two months, Ding Ruili seemed to be a stranger and never showed up again.
Su Ziji wanted to find out more about the situation, but the invitation he sent to Ding Ruili came to nothing, so he had to give it up temporarily.
After all, autumn is coming soon, so it’s important to focus on autumn first. It’s not too late to wait until the provincial examination is over to discuss other matters.
"See you in autumn." Everyone said that the weather in August has turned from hot to cool, and autumn is just around the corner. The government school has given the scholars a holiday. Regardless of whether they participate in the county examination or not, they can go home and prepare. Many people feel that there has been great progress and are full of hope.
"The head of the case, Professor Zheng asked you to see him." Someone said.
"I'll go right away." Su Ziji nodded and wanted to go over. The man smiled sheepishly: "I heard that the head of the case is interested in martial arts scriptures. This is a piece of experience from my ancestors. It is useless now.
I gave it to the head of the case."
Seeing Su Ziji's refusal, the man became anxious and said, "I am not a good reader. You have given me a lot of help in the past few months. I can't repay you for this kindness. I must not refuse. Otherwise, I won't be able to do anything."
See you face to face."
"Then I'll accept it." When Su Ziji saw the thin book, his heart moved and he accepted it.
Sure enough, there are still people who are grateful. This Cen Shan has a beard on his face, his facial features are very well-proportioned, and he always smiles. He looks inconspicuous, but he doesn’t want to give gifts like this today.
This thin book seems to have only about ten pages. After reading it for a while, it is generally clear. However, the key part is the secret language. Outsiders cannot understand what it means. No wonder Cen Shan feels that it is useless.
Su Ziji stroked it and heard a "buzz" sound, and half a piece of rosewood floated on the manuscript.
"After discovering Cen's martial arts scripture, do you want to learn this skill?"
"Yes."
"I have learned Cen's martial arts, and found that similar Su-style boxing techniques are merged?"
"Yes!"
"Merge into Fenghuoshan Forest and gain understanding of multiple weapons!"
"Level 3 of Fenghuoshan Forest, 1125/3000"
Originally, the Su style boxing skill reached level 6, but now it has reached level 3. Su Ziji was not surprised but overjoyed. This showed that the newly acquired martial arts had high gold content and greater potential. He couldn't help but secretly recall that it was said that this Cen family was still the former
No wonder Zhanghua Bo of the dynasty has this inheritance.
Thinking in his mind, he kept walking and turned to Zheng Lixuan.
I saw Zheng Lixuan sending someone out from the study. He looked closely and frowned slightly. The man had a white face and no beard. He stopped in a hurry and bowed: "Hello, Professor!"
"It's Zi Ji who's here!" Zheng Lixuan smiled without introducing him. The white-faced man took a deep look and saw that the young man in front of him seemed to have lost some weight due to hard study. His eyes were quiet and deep, and he really looked like a lonely pine.
.
The man looked at it, as if he wanted to see Su Ziji clearly and remember it in his heart. After a long time, he said: "He is indeed a young and talented man."
These words were sharp and his tone was different from others. Su Ziji was even more surprised. However, after saying this, the man stopped greeting Su Ziji and turned around.
Zheng Lixuan then smiled and said to Su Ziji: "Let's talk inside."
The two of them entered the study room, where all the lecturers had their offices. There were three connected rooms, with piles of papers piled high on the bookshelves, and the smell of ink filled the room.
Zheng Lixuan sat down and said, "You have made great progress these days, and we all see it."
Su Ziji hurriedly leaned over and said: "It is only because of the teachings of the teachers that the students have made some progress. However, the more they study, the more they feel that they are as knowledgeable as the sea, and sometimes they feel a little downcast."
After hearing this, Zheng Lixuan pondered and said in a sincere tone: "We are about to take the provincial examination. Originally, I called you here because I was afraid that you had made great progress recently and were a little arrogant. Now it seems that I was worried in vain."
Su Ziji has made such great progress, but he is still neither arrogant nor impetuous, and reviews his lessons step by step. This calmness makes Zheng Lixuan even more satisfied.
His professor of Chengfu Studies was not only Su Ziji, he came here earlier, but he did receive orders because of Su Ziji, and he had more correspondence with his superiors.
"Zi Ji, with your current talent and learning, as long as nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely win the exam. So, remember, try to be as stable as possible this autumn, and don't be impatient when encountering difficulties."
Zheng Lixuan warned Su Ziji because some people get flustered when they encounter an exam like Qiu Wei, resulting in their inability to put their talents and knowledge to use.
Su Ziji was very grateful for this kindness and lowered his eyes.
"Level 12 of Four Books and Five Classics, 58/12000; Level 5 of classical poetry, 51/5000; Level 5 of Guange Style, 665/5000"
In the past few months, it can be said that all the students in the government school have basically collected their home studies. Finally, the Four Books and Five Classics have reached level 12, while classical poetry, pavilion style, and ink painting have all been upgraded to level 5, which has improved their charm and intelligence.
It’s 15.
However, a problem has been discovered, that is, even if the low-concentration skills reach the fifth level, when their quality reaches 15, they can no longer continue to improve their quality.
“You can’t get unlimited points!”
Su Ziji thought to himself, but replied respectfully: "The student understands that before and after the last government examination, I was too happy to have a new scholar, but a lot of things happened, some were disfigured, some had broken legs, which ruined the future of a lifetime.
”
"Students must study behind closed doors these days and not go out to cause trouble."
Those who speak with sincerity will be more attentive when listening. Zheng Lixuan's heart moved and his face turned ugly. When Su Ziji left, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Let the guards in black be more vigilant."
A tutor who had a good relationship with Zheng Lixuan did not notice the whisper and came over and asked: "Master Zheng, although Su Ziji is from an ordinary background, he is talented and talented. I see that you really like him, why don't you accept him as a disciple?"
?"
In fact, this is also what other lecturers are murmuring about.
Lecturers in private schools are actually just like teachers and cannot be considered true teachers.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Lixuan values and appreciates Su Ziji very much, but until autumn is approaching, Zheng Lixuan still shows no sign of accepting Su Ziji as his disciple.
Could it be said that we should wait until Su Ziji wins the election before accepting him?
Although this is more secure, it is also because it is more secure that Su Ziji's future has been largely determined by then. Even if he accepts a disciple, it is far less gratifying than supporting and helping him when he was a scholar.
When Zheng Lixuan was asked by the lecturer, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Is this something he didn't want to do?
In the past few months, Su Ziji has really excelled in everything. His appearance has become more and more handsome, his demeanor has become more free and easy, and he has gradually gained the appearance of a heavenly being, which is heart-breaking. If Su Ziji was just an ordinary student, even if he was from a humble background,
He will also be accepted as a disciple.
But Su Ziji had doubts about his bloodline. The superiors still allowed Su Ziji to continue the imperial examination without directly stopping him, which surprised him. How could they dare to bring trouble on themselves and accept him as a disciple without permission?
Facing the confusion of his colleagues, Zheng Lixuan could only shake his head and let out a long sigh while facing the book window.
We are destined but not destined, so what can we do?
