These grandchildren hit too hard …… must be jealous of my handsome face …… sizzle ……”
Inside the inn, Fatty Xue Chi sat on a chair, twitching his fat face.
Zhu Pingan, who was helping the fat man to wipe the medicine, sniffed and the corners of his mouth twitched, I really don’t know where this fat man got his confidence! Also handsome looks, if it were not for the fat man’s family having a bit of money, Zhu Pingan doubted that this guy could find a date!
“Alright, this medicine you take back, wipe it once a day, almost three days will be fine.” After wiping the medicine, Zhu Pingan threw the bamboo swab wrapped with the cotton ball into the rubbish bin made of bamboo basket, stuffed the cork and threw the medicine bottle into Fatty Xuechi’s arms.
“Thank you, Brother Zhu.” The fat man got up from his chair to thank Zhu Pingan.
“Words of thanks are unnecessary.” Zhu Pingan waved his hand unconcernedly, then added, “There are not many days left until the exam, so you also take care of yourself.”
“It’s going to be an exam so soon ah……” Fatty Xue Chi exclaimed out in shock at the words, then that fat face was constipated like.
Send away the drunken fat man who staggers on his feet, outside has long been the moon on the top of the willow head people after dusk. Because of the curfew system, the night of Daming is much quieter, at the moment all the music is silent, the sky and the earth are empty and vast, only the lonely moon gazing at this quiet night from afar.
To succeed, we must endure loneliness, success is no shortcut. Zhu Pingan sat by the window, lit an oil lamp, recalled the Qing Dynasty scholar volume in his mind, and then chose one of the eight-legged essay, grinding paper copying on it.
Zhu Pingan copied the title of this “to the people of the world, gather the world from the goods, trading and retreat, each have their own righteousness”, this is from the “I Ching Series of Rhetoric” “is the middle of the day for the market, to the people of the world, gather the world’s goods, trading and retreat, each have their own righteousness, the cover is taken from the “phagocytic”. The original meaning of this passage is: “The people of the world are brought to the market in the middle of the day. The original meaning of this passage is: to use noon as the time of the market, to invite the people of the world, to gather the goods of the world, to trade with each other and go home, and to get what each of them needs, which is probably modelled on the hexagram of Pho.
This is the answer sheet of Liu Chunlin, the last scholar of the Qing Dynasty, with good insights and deep attainments in the eight stocks. After copying it down, Zhu Pingan studied it over and over again; then he tried to write one of his own as a comparison, looking for deficiencies, and only late at night did he extinguish the oil lamp and go to sleep.
Late at night, everything was immersed in sound sleep, quietly nurturing a crisp autumn dawn.
Wake up early in the morning, Zhu Pingan a little wash and then and the same as in the past, cross-body schoolbag clamped black wooden board went out. Inside the inn early morning window reading books of the schoolchildren to Zhu Pingan’s this dress has been strange, the same early morning effort people, naturally look at each other two do not get tired of, there are schoolchildren to Zhu Pingan slightly nodded to indicate, Zhu Pingan also responded to one by one.
Zhu Pingan clamped the black wooden board through the lobby and walked along the banks of the Qinhuai River towards the woods where he once consistently practiced calligraphy.
Passing by the bridge that connects the Qinhuai River to the gold powder and jade building on the other bank, he met several males returning from the gentle land on the other bank, several people were full of satisfaction and exhaustion, it seems that last night timed to labour endlessly.
Walking to the riverside and filling a bamboo tube with Qinhuai water, he turned around and left the riverbank, heading towards the woods.
“Hey, that half-big scholar, you took a bamboo tube to fill our foot-washing water, but are you going to sneak back to drink it?” On the other side of the river, the two young girls who were washing by the river discovered Zhu Pingan, and couldn’t help but laugh and tease Zhu Pingan again.
Not subject to the constraints of feudal rites and customs of the women of the wind, not to be underestimated ah, but over and over again always this sentence, they are tired of hearing.
“Remember to put sugar next time.”
Zhu Pingan did not turn around, just casually shook the bamboo tube, lightly leaving a sentence.
“Lol…… thought you were a log, but it turns out that you are also a poor-mouthed one.” The young girl on the opposite bank covered her cherry lips and laughed angrily.
“Little brother, people’s foot washing water does not put sugar ah, but the bath water sister is love to put sugar, you come to find sister to play ah, sister after the bath with you drink, cackle …….”
The older girl is also by Zhu Pingan this word to provoke the giggle, progressive but not dull, clean but not pedantic, such an interesting scholar for a long time have not seen, can not help but playfully laughed.
Listening to the young girl behind the laughter, Zhu Pingan almost doubt that this is not Daming, really, this dusty woman fighting force than those who like fresh meat in modern times, big sister.
Without continuing to pay attention, Zhu Pingan walked towards the remote woods on his own, coming to the stone where he often practised writing, Zhu Pingan put the black wooden board on it, felt out the brush and started to practise writing.
Since the last time he met the old man fishing by the lake, Zhu Pingan’s brush writing could be said to be getting better and better, vaguely having a style of its own.
The woods are secluded, but many mosquitoes, “the most poisonous but autumn mosquitoes”, although it has been autumn, mosquitoes, on the contrary, intensified, sometimes bitten by mosquitoes, to be red and swollen for several days. Zhu Pingan writing this a while, was mosquitoes in the hands of the neck on the bite of a good mark down, and pain and itchy, very annoying, practicing words than the usual effect of a few points worse.
Burning mugwort is able to drive away mosquitoes, just in the woods after all, not very safe, Zhu Pingan thought to eat breakfast later, by the way to go to the pharmacy, buy some Huoxiang, mint, perilla, calamus, lemongrass, anise, Chenpi, willow bark and so on to the mother to do the purse, wear it with you to drive away mosquitoes, the effect is not bad.
After practising the characters, Zhu Pingan then got up and walked around reading the Four Books and Five Classics silently to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes again.
When Zhu Pingan was reading the Four Books and Five Classics, there was a scholar with a scroll in the woods, Zhu Pingan greeted him and continued to read his book.
Then Zhu Pingan heard a loud reading sound resonating throughout the woods.
“Learning and learning in a time of learning …… Learning and learning in a time of learning …… Not also talking about …… Not also talking about… … “Single song loop dozens of times, all this sentence nine words, and the first five words read a dozens of times and then read the next four words dozens of times.
Nima, this how to listen to feel a little bit like a wolf howling at night was scolded by the mother of which is being read silently Zhu Pingan stunned, looked up at the scholar, only to see it shaking his head read that called an emotional commitment.
Almost read this sentence there are dozens of times hundreds of times it, the scholar finally changed the sentence.
“There are friends from afar …… there are friends from afar …… do not also say so do not also say so ……” this sentence is again Single song cycle, and the same as the previous sentence is the same as the first five words are read a hundred times, and then the last four words are read a hundred times, all without bringing a sentence together.
To kneel, this kind of memorisation …… is really a god-like scholar ah.
The whole morning Zhu Pingan is accompanied by the scholar’s single song cycle revision of the Four Books and Five Classics, and, the whole morning this scholar is also read five sentences only ……
The eight shares to take the scholar ah
The Imperial Examination
I wonder what would have happened if such a person had also passed the imperial examination bridge. ……
I’m afraid that this forest will not come back tomorrow, Zhu Pingan thought in his heart when he collected his things and left after reading in the morning.
