There is no special treasure in the box. Based on the analogy of Li Mu's previous life, this thing can be called "Five Years Simulated Three Years College Entrance Examination" or "Huanggang Secret Scroll". Kong Yingda brought it from the last imperial examination, which was the Tang Dynasty.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the Wude period, the content of the first imperial examination recorded in Chinese history was recorded. Kong Yingda was responsible for this imperial examination. All the questions were written by professors from the Imperial College. Kong Yingda then selected them and presented them to Li Yuan for the final examination.
Decide.
The contents of this box are the notebooks written by Kong Yingda. There are three notebooks in total. The first one contains all the policy topics published by the professors of the Imperial College, both unused and used. In addition to the topics, there are also published
A sample essay written by the professor of the question was originally used to explain the idea of setting the question to the emperor. It is the best reference for candidates.
The second book mainly introduces the meaning of the classics. Although the meaning of the classics is mainly memorized by rote, the questions are biased. Confucius and Mencius have so many remarks and cover a wide range of aspects, many of which are dialogues. The imperial examination focuses on
These are the so-called big righteousness, while some minor righteousness will almost never appear in the title. This excerpt from the classics is Kong Yingda’s years of experience, and it can also be regarded as his "lesson plan". I have memorized this book, and one of the classics and meanings is included in the title.
, then it’s almost certain.
The third book is a collection of articles by the outstanding people in the last imperial examination. Although Kong Yingda is old-fashioned in his work, he also has the advantages of being old-fashioned. He is rigorous and serious. He attaches great importance to the first imperial examination for which he is responsible, so he privately copied the articles of the outstanding people.
, bound into a volume, and now also gave it to Li Mu.
Li Mu was very happy when he saw these three books. Originally, he was not that serious about taking the No. 1 Scholar exam. He had to take the exam, but he had already prepared for the worst. If he really couldn't become the No. 1 scholar, he would lose to Wei Zheng.
It's not a big deal for a thousand taels of gold. But if you can win, who wants to lose? After all, it is very satisfying to have Wei Zheng call him his mentor.
Li Mu had analyzed this matter before. He was familiar with "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and "Two Hundred Selected Song Ci Poems". He also memorized a lot of famous classical Chinese articles in "Chinese Language" from childhood to college. As an orphan, he took the entrance examination from elementary school to middle school.
He has taken the high school entrance examination, the high school entrance examination and the university entrance examination. He usually takes monthly exams once a month in school, in-class tests twice a week, mid-term and final college exams, CET-4, CET-6, computer qualification certificates, etc. He is also experienced.
At least he is very confident. He has gone through more exams alone than all the students combined.
Li Mu has nothing to fear about exams. The only worry is that he doesn't know what the Tang Dynasty exam is about. Now that he has the "counseling materials" produced by Kong Yingda, Li Mu doesn't panic anymore. Isn't it just about doing the questions?
, it’s too simple. You must know that the college entrance examination in the previous life was a total of six subjects including Chinese, Mathematics, and English. Datang’s "College Entrance Examination" only tested one Chinese subject. If you don’t understand this test, you will be sorry for the late nights in your previous life.
Wei Zheng also saw what was in the box, but he didn't say anything. Although Kong Yingda was a Shandong nobleman, he was the queen of Kong Sheng and had a transcendent status. He was an official in the Manchu Dynasty, so Li Mu had no scruples to confront him, so it was no big deal.
The younger one was called Lao Kong. When the others saw Kong Yingda, who wouldn’t call him Kong Jijiu, Confucius?
Li Mu happily accepted the box, called the waiter, and ordered the dishes to be served.
In the Tang Dynasty, the meal sharing system was implemented, and the shared meal system only appeared in ordinary people's homes, or in low-level places such as "soup cake shops". There were almost no high-end mansions like Li Mu's mansion that always used the shared meal system. This was also the reason why Li Mu
One of the things he was criticized for was that those who looked down upon him thought that, as a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, he was still so unruly, and that he was just a country man, and could not stand up to the public.
Li Mu just likes this kind of scene where everyone gathers around the same table and has fun. He doesn't care what others say and just goes his own way. But when banqueting, he still has to take into account the feelings of the guests. Therefore, after the opening of Heaven and Earth, Li Mu Yan
Guests often come to Heaven and Earth, and they can share or share meals here, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Today, if there were no two old men, Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, we would have shared the meal together, but with them here, it was hard for them to sit at the same table with a group of juniors, so we had to temporarily change the meal.
Li Mu had greeted the private room in Heaven and Earth in advance, but the specific arrangements were handled by Wang Ou. She had arrived early and had nothing to do, so she showed her sense of responsibility as a hostess and arranged today's dinner.
Little Eunuch Chen was observing her words and had known that the relationship between Li Mu and Wang Ou was unusual, so he naturally did not dare to go against her words.
A total of four private rooms were opened today, one for the people of Zhangjiazhai, one for the people of the Hou family, one for the female relatives, and one for entertaining foreign guests. The dishes in each private room are slightly different, like the one for the people of Zhangjiazhai.
The private room is full of big fish and meat. The private room where the women are staying is relatively light and refined. It can be seen that Wang Ou has put a lot of thought into it.
The private room where Li Mu was staying was for entertaining foreign guests. Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Changsun Chong, Li Tai, Tang Guan, and Wang Pu were all in this private room.
For the sake of Wei Zheng's visit to give gifts, Li Mu specially asked the waiter to add a bowl of vinegar and celery. It is the middle of winter, and celery is already very scarce. The entire city of Chang'an, and only some in the cellars of heaven and earth, and others.
I couldn't find it anywhere, so just a bowl of vinegar and celery cost five guan. Not to mention Wei Zheng, even Changsun Wuji had to weigh it carefully if he wanted to eat it.
To say that heaven and earth are prepared with vinegar and celery, it must be attributed to Wei Zheng. The last time he fought with Wei Zheng, Li Mu bought all the celery in Chang'an in order to disgust him. As a result, the price of celery in Chang'an City skyrocketed, and he spent a lot of money.
The purpose was to make Wei Zheng unable to afford it. Wei Zheng really couldn't afford it, because he was fined a salary later, not to mention vegetables, and steamed buns. If it weren't for the money Wei Yingluo took back, he would almost have to eat it now.
There was a pause.
Li Mu asked the waiter to bring vinegar celery, pretending to be casual, but secretly looked at Wei Zheng. He had only heard that Wei Zheng liked vinegar celery, but had never seen Wei Zheng eating vinegar celery. He wanted to know if it was like the rumors.
He saw it today, and the rumors were not false at all.
When the waiter walked to the stairs, Wei Zheng sniffed his nose twice. Li Mu almost laughed out loud, suppressed it, and talked to Li Tai next to him, but kept looking at him. By the time the waiter walked to the door, Wei Zheng had already
He looked at the door, as if he was expecting something, and looked like he couldn't believe it. The waiter opened the door and came in with vinegar and celery. Wei Zheng actually stood up and left the table, and went straight to the vinegar and celery.
"There is celery now?" Wei Zheng was surprised, staring straight at the vinegar and celery in the bowl, his eyes were already straight.
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Come on, come on over here. I won't share this five-guan-dollar bowl of vinegar and celery with everyone. I'll eat it myself."
As soon as he said this, everyone knew that Li Mu had done it on purpose, and they couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Zheng also knew that Li Mu did it on purpose, but he really wanted to be jealous of celery. Counting the days, he hadn't smelled celery for almost two months. It was better not to smell it, but he couldn't eat it if he smelled it.
Not to mention how uncomfortable it feels.
As he watched the waiter pass by and bring the vinegar to Li Mu's table, Wei Zheng couldn't help it anymore. He reached out and took the bowl from the waiter's bowl and put it on his own table.
"Old Wei, why did you grab it? This bowl of food is not for you. I ordered the lamb knuckle for you. The lamb knuckle is so delicious."
"I'll switch with you." Wei Zheng moved his chopsticks like flying and stuffed them into his mouth. The vinegar and celery entered his mouth, and the taste burst out. Wei Zheng felt refreshed, and the refreshing feeling spread to his limbs and bones.
People feel as if they are immortals.
"As for that..." Li Mu looked at Wei Zheng's expression and found it hard to understand. Is this vinegar celery so delicious?
"Come on, come on, one bowl per person!" Li Mu waved his hand and asked the waiter to bring a few more bowls. Everyone waved their hands quickly, and Li Tai said: "Brother, don't bother, we don't like the taste."
"If you don't want to eat, I have to try it. Is it so delicious..." When everyone refused to eat, Li Mu asked the waiter to bring another bowl. This time Wei Zheng didn't grab it. He hadn't finished the bowl yet, so he ate it.
Very slowly, taking small bites, it reminded Li Mu of when he was a child in an orphanage. Occasionally, kindhearted people would bring some eggs. Each of the children would share half of the eggs, but they were reluctant to eat them. They had to wait until the whole bowl of rice was finished.
After eating the half of the egg in one bite, Wei Zheng looked as if he was eating the half of the egg.
This was the first time that Li Mu saw the true identity of vinegar celery. He originally thought vinegar celery was a cold dish, but otherwise, vinegar celery was actually a soup dish. It was made by fermenting celery and adding five flavors.
Li Mu picked up the spoon and didn't want to eat it before taking a bite. He had eaten spinach soup, cabbage soup, and radish soup. This celery soup was still fermented. He didn't dare to take a bite. Li Mu looked at Wei Zheng again.
, still looking so happy, he put down the spoon, picked up the chopsticks, took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.
"puff……"
A strange smell rushed into his mind, and Li Mu instantly vomited.
"What the hell is this! Is this also for human consumption?"
The waiter turned pale with fright and explained repeatedly: "Master Hou, this bowl and the bowl just now were made by the same cook, so they should taste the same."
Li Tai smiled and said: "Brother, this is the taste of vinegar and parsley, it's a bit weird."
Li Mu threw away his chopsticks and said, "I can't eat this thing, so throw it away!"
"Don't throw it away!" Wei Zheng heard these words clearly. He stood up and came to Li Mu's desk and snatched away the vinegar and said: "It's a shame to throw it away. I'll help you eat it."
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Old Wei, you are so kind. You have already eaten ten guan from me, inside and outside. Can I get ten guan from buying your shabby house?"
Wei Zheng returned to his seat and sat down, took a sip of the soup, and still had the same expression as if he had smoked a cigarette: "Marquis Zhulu, don't get angry, this is not the way to treat guests."
"You are really thick-skinned..." Li Mu laughed angrily, called the waiter over, and said: "Do it again, wait until he finishes eating and then give him another bowl. I will vomit him after eating today! Let me look at him
