Zhang Xiang was in too eager mood at the moment, so his actions were a little reckless, and he was inevitably suspected of blocking Shangguan's way.

Zhou Zhixian's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Do you want to try again?" ”

Zhang Xiang didn't dare to speak in front of Zhou Zhixian, Lin Chengyi stepped forward and said: "Great Grandmaster, the old parents are above, and these students who are born later are all talents that can be cultivated. ”

Hu Tixue turned sideways and said gently: "It is nothing to have a priority in entering the school, and there is an equal difference in qualifications, but if a person is rude, he will not stand, and if he is rude, he will not succeed, so you should carefully teach students this truth." ”

Lin Chengyi's face was full of shame when he heard this, and he knew that it was Zhang Guihe and Zhang Haoyuan's expressions that disappointed Hu Tixue, and immediately said: "Thank you for the guidance of the great master, the late students must remember to teach the students like this." ”

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, Hou Zhongshu said angrily to Xu Yanchao: "Mr. is humiliated, how can I bear it as a student?" Now I am a scholar, but I take our people in Hongtang Township lightly, no, I can't take care of the overall situation at the moment, I must stand up and save my husband's face. ”

Lin Yanchao didn't hold Hou Zhongshu, but when he saw him step out, before he could speak, he was pulled down by Zhang Zongjia and said: "Master Tixue is here to take the school examination, what do you say about a child with a foreign surname." ”

"Don't look down on people, I'm also a disciple of social studies." Hou Zhongshu was furious when he heard this.

Lin Chengyi looked at it, his face turned blue and said: "Mr. Zhang, the child with the foreign surname is also my Lin's student, even if the teacher doesn't do it, I can't let you insult my student like this." ”

Outsiders couldn't help but laugh when they saw Lin Chengyi and Zhang Zongjia fighting among themselves, Zhang Xiang lost face, so he could only laugh with him, and looked at Lin Chengyi with anger.

Lin Chengyi was insulted by Mr. Zhang, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he stepped forward and said, "The great grandmaster is above, I implore you to try one more." ”

Hu Tixue smiled, noncommittal.

Lin Chengyi cut first and then played, and said to Lin Yanchao: "Yanchao, you have a good memory of 1,000 words, why don't you let the superintendent take the test?" ”

Thousand-word text, hearing Lin Chengyi say this, everyone is in the sun. The thousand-character essay is for schoolchildren to use, not in the Four Books and Five Classics, so that the school entrance examination is equivalent to the mathematics professor, to test the homework of primary school students addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Even Zhang Xiang glared at Lin Chengyi, feeling that he was now in a hurry to go to the doctor.

However, there were also people who followed Lin Chengyi's gaze, but saw a young schoolchild stand up. At first, everyone thought that this person was nothing, but when they saw that the other party was calm and young, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Lin Yanchao saw Lin Chengyi nodding to himself, and finally it was his turn to appear, Hou Zhongshu said right, how can the student endure the humiliation of the teacher.

Lin Yanchao took a step forward at the moment, and said with a long salute: "Please ask the great master to take the exam!" ”

Hu Tixue's expression was solemn, and when he saw Lin Yanchao leaving, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "At a young age, you have such a dignified bearing. Seeing that you are young and old, and you have a full stomach of poetry and books, the official still thinks that you are already a talent. ”

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, everyone present looked at Lin Yanchao again, and indeed Lin Yanchao's current bearing, if he is a twelve-year-old boy, no one believes it.

"Great Grandmaster Chrysostom, students must work hard so that the Great Grandmaster will not lose his words."

Hu Tixue smiled when he heard this: "Well said, ambitious." ”

"However," Hu Tixue turned his mouth and said: "Although the words are beautiful, you must also have real talent to learn, you said that you have learned a thousand words, how can you memorize them?" ”

Lin Yanchao replied: "Back to the great master, the student has worked hard for the longest time in the thousand-character text, and it can be said that he has memorized it backwards. ”

"Yan Chao, this kid, this will always satisfy the Great Grandmaster!" Zhang Xiang and Zhang Zongjia were all relieved.

At this time, Zhou Zhixian on the side sneered: "Reversing like a stream? You should recite a thousand-character text backwards to show this official! At this moment, Zhang Zongjia couldn't wait to slap his mouth hard, blaming himself for his crow's mouth, and several people in the public gate snickered.

Hu Tixue also said with a smile: "People are not trustworthy enough to do the world, young man, you said that you want to take the Xiucai test, the official is very pleased, but don't be ashamed to learn from the adults." ”

"Thank you, Grand Master, the old parents mentioned it, dare to ask the students if they can memorize the thousand-word text backwards?" Lin Yanchao said.

"Oh? This kid," Hu Tixue said with a laugh, "let's try it." ”

"It's also a matter of saying that the assistant is stupid, and the widow is lonely and ......" Lin Yanchao came as soon as he opened his mouth without pausing.

There were at least nearly 100 people in the ancestral hall, and the people in the hall were all looking at Lin Yanchao. But in the face of so many people's eyes, Lin Yanchao was not affected at all, his hands were behind his back, and he walked with the usual steps when the reader was reciting the book.

"Positive surface shape, name Jiande ......"

But listening to Lin Yanchao's words clearly, it seems that Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, and it is just like walking in his own yard. The people present listened with their mouths wide open, and even their jaws were about to be dislocated. This kid is really memorizing a thousand-word text.

“…… The wilderness is in the universe, and the sky is yellow. ”

After the last word landed, there was silence in the ancestral hall.

After Lin Yanchao finished reciting, he saluted Hu Tixue and said: "The student is stupid, and he is only good at one thousand-character essay in two years, so he is so familiar with it." If it's a great grandmaster, the old parents are going to take the school examining the students and the others, and the students really won't. ”

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, everyone praised a good word in their hearts, they knew how to advance and retreat at a young age, and gave Zhou Zhixian a step down. Many villagers didn't know Lin Yanchao, and they couldn't help but inquire about the origin of this child. And those who have a heart peek at Hu Tixue's face to see what he thinks.

Hu Tixue was silent for a while, and others couldn't see his thoughts.

At this time, he suddenly said: "Qiangxi Yiyin, what is the solution of Zuo Shi Ah Heng?" ”

This is a passage in the thousand-character text, Lin Yanchao remembered the thousand-character interpretation of the text that Lin Chengyi explained to him, and said without hesitation: "King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Shang in Panxi and assisted Mingjun, while King Shangtang respected Yiyin as Ah Heng. ”

This sentence is not easy to explain, and the average person understands it literally, that is, Yi Yin by the Qiangxi River, and the king of Shangtang is respected as Ah Heng. But in fact, Panxi is the place where King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Shang. There are just eight words in the thousand-word text, but the two virtuous ministers know about the encounter with Mingjun.

Hu Tixue couldn't help but lightly tap the knot, and said: "Du manuscript Zhongli, lacquer book wall scripture? ”

"Du Du cursive script, Zhong Xuanli book, Wei Anli Wang Tomb lacquer book, Qufu Confucius Temple wall scriptures. Closing the sentence is not only a collection of tombs, but also a gathering of heroes, Du manuscript Zhong Li, lacquer book wall scripture refers to the treasures hidden in the palace. ”

Hu Tixue showed a slight smile on his face, Lin Yanchao happened to have a special experience in this paragraph, and said deeply: "The last sentence said that Du Du is the sect of cursive writing, Zhong Xuanli's book is the first in the world, and the Tao is the treasure of the world!" ”

The next sentence is about the ancient no pen and ink, with the bamboo lacquer book on the bamboo, after someone dug the tomb of King Wei Anli, thirteen ancient books of lacquer books, so that the lacquer book saw the light of day, and the wall scripture, is to say that Qin Shi Huang burned the book pit Confucianism, Confucianism was lost, fortunately from the wall of Confucius's old house found the ancestors of the scriptures, so that the classics regained the day. The lacquer book wall is intermittent for survival! ”

"Well solved." Hu Tixue couldn't help but praise it, and everyone below who had read the thousand-character text also nodded one after another.

"It's rare for you to take the exam again, if you get it right, you will pass the test," Hu Tixue pinched his beard and said suddenly: "Heaven and earth are yellow, what is the solution to the desolation of the universe?" ”

Everyone recognized it, this is the first sentence of the thousand-character text, and it is also the most familiar sentence, those who have taken the imperial examination know that each number house is numbered with a thousand-character text, but what exactly does it mean, even if it is a lifter, it may not be known.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang comes from the Book of Changes, the universe comes from Huainanzi, the upper and lower four directions are called the universe, the ancient and modern are called the universe, and the flood is from the Taixuan Sutra, which is called the world of the flood and famine." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

At this time, Hu Tixue pinched his beard and laughed: "Let me ask you Huainanzi, have you read all the Taixuan Sutra?" ”

"No, but the disciple has read the thousand-character paraphrase, as it says."

Hu Ti said: "That's not easy, in a book of thousands of words, you can calculate the teacher." ”

Lin Yanchao bowed down and said: "The great master has won the award, as the so-called reading ten thousand books, it is better to read through one book, and half of Zhao Pu's Analects can also rule the world." ”

Hu Tixue saw Lin Yanchao say this, and was very happy and said: "If you can be realistic, you can teach a real child." It's not easy for you to say this, it must be a family history, and your father must be a scholar. ”

"Jia Yan is a student, a talent in the Qinglong years."

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian both nodded. The scholars and the scholars are all close, and Xiucai has been listed in the class of the four people, if Lin Yanchao says that he is a businessman, a clerk, and the son of a farmer, there will be a discount.

Hu Tixue was even more kind to Lin Yanchao and said: "My father is a showman, no wonder he is polite and has a degree of advance and retreat, I don't know if he is in the county school or the government school now?" ”

Hu Tixue is in charge of the government, the second school in the county, if it is a famous student, he should have heard of it. Hearing Hu Tixue say this, Lin Yanchao couldn't speak, just lowered his head.

"Why don't you speak?" Hutti asked.

When everyone saw Weiqi, why didn't they answer Hu Tixue's question, did they fall short in the end.

At this time, Lin Chengyi stood up and said: "The great master, the parents of Yanchao, a few years ago, avoided the harm of the people of his hometown, and unfortunately died. ”

I see, when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sympathize. Lin Yanchao couldn't answer, so he naturally regarded it as 'can't speak'.

"Is that really the case?" Hu Tixue pondered it for a while, and thought to himself that it would be better to confirm it.

An official in the yamen whispered a few words next to Zhou Zhixian, Zhou Zhixian nodded, and immediately said to Hu Ti: "This is indeed the case, during the Longqing period, Kou Chief Lin Feng led Kou to plunder the people, and there was indeed a Lin surnamed Xiucai killed at that time. ”

The death of a student is not a small matter for a county, and the magistrate of the county at that time must report to the Dao of Learning, and then report to the Inspectorate.

Hearing this, even Hu Tixue felt the need to compensate the young man for something.

Hu Tixue thought for a while, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard and said: "You are very good at writing, and the official is very pleased and has decided to reward you." ”

"Lord Tixue," Zhou Zhixian interrupted Hu Tixue's words.

"What does Zhou Xianzun have to say?" Hutti asked.

Zhou Zhixian glanced at Lin Yanchao, and said with an intriguing smile: "Since Lord Tixue appreciates him, it is better to listen to this schoolboy and what reward he wants." ”

Lin Yanchao felt a sigh in his heart, looked at Zhou Zhixian and thought that he had offended you somewhere, and wanted to harm me like this.
