Because he went to the field to pick up manure and pile winter manure this morning, Xu Youcai was so tired that he lay down and rested in the afternoon after eating at noon, and snoring like thunder for a while.

Xu Youcai was dreaming of marrying a concubine, but he was suddenly woken up, and the concubine's pink face instantly turned into the yellow face of his mother-in-law, so he slapped him in annoyance.

He was accustomed to being slapped by his own man, and covered his face and said hurriedly: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, just now the old ten family (Xie Xiaowan) took someone to measure the paddy field, I'm afraid I want to sell the field." ”

Xu Youcai was excited, and suddenly fell asleep, in the past few years, relying on the cultivation of Xu Jin's six acres of paddy fields, every year has an extra few taels of silver, and life is much more prosperous than before.

As the so-called Shengmi enmity fights rice, once some people take advantage of it, they begin to take it for granted. Xu Youcai was like this, realizing that Li had already regarded Xu Jin's six acres of paddy fields as his own, and when he heard that Xu Jin was planning to sell the paddy fields, he was immediately furious, and rushed out of the house with clogs.

He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the old ten went to the private school to study today, but the old ten took the broker to measure and evaluate!" ”

Xu Youcai suddenly stopped when he heard this, and scolded: "Stinky woman, you can't finish the words at one time, I still think that they are ready to make a deal, since Lao Shi is not here, then there is no need to worry." Well, the little cub is so bold that he dares to sell the field without asking Lao Tzu! ”

He scolded the same enemy: "No, we also have a bucket of grain for his family, and we are really a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out." Fortunately, the paddy field was bumped into by us, otherwise this little cub would have sold the field secretly, which is really insidious! ”

Xu Youcai sneered twice and put on his coat. He Shi suddenly lowered his voice and said: "The owner, after all, the six acres of paddy fields belong to the old ten, and the field deed is also in the hands of that little cub, he insists on selling it, and we can't help it!" ”

Xu Youcai's eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "What about Tian is his family, dare to sell a try?" Lao Tzu is going to the patriarch to clean up that little cub! After saying that, he went out of the door in a menacing manner.

……

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the school was out of school, and those little children ran out with the bookbasket on their backs as if they were charging, and they ran away in an instant.

Xu Jin finished packing up the books and took a freshly written eight-strand essay to the next rest room to find the master to comment.

It is said that after Guo Fuzi taught Xu Jin the writing methods and skills of the Bagu essay today, he came up with a topic for him to compose, but Xu Jin finally managed to finish it after an afternoon.

Guo Fuzi took Xu Jin's scroll, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised: "Good words!" ”

Xu Jin also liked calligraphy in his last life, practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and really worked hard, especially after the age of forty, he gradually let go of the company's affairs, did what he liked as he wanted, and took time to practice calligraphy every day, so the pen power became more and more pure, and the regular script was comparable to the national hand.

"The master praised it falsely!" Xu Jin smiled modestly and said that he was still very confident in his calligraphy.

However, when Guo Fuzi saw the content of the article, his old face suddenly pulled down, and his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and finally threw the volume away and scolded: "Bullshit, nonsense!" ”

Xu Jin touched his nose in embarrassment, his face was a little feverish, in fact, he also knew that he had written this article in a mess.

Baguwen is usually taken in the Four Books and Five Classics, and the content must be in the tone of the ancients, and it is absolutely not allowed to play freely, which is the so-called speaking on behalf of the sage.

Moreover, Baguwen requires the length of sentences, the complexity and simplicity of words, the pitch of voice, etc., to be relatively written, and the number of words is also limited.

Xu Jin is a modern person, accustomed to the writing mode of vernacular Chinese, what kind of leveling, duality, rhyme, and comparison do you ask him to do, it's like letting ordinary people fly fighter jets, and they don't know which button to press!

And the most difficult thing is that you can't express it in your own words, you must write in the tone of Confucius and Mencius, you have to quote scriptures, you can't blaspheme the saints, and you have to avoid the name and temple name of the emperor of this dynasty.

Guo Fuzi reprimanded with a cold face: "Look at what you wrote, don't go to the county to try it at this level, you won't have to embarrass the old man!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, his face was hot!

Guo Fuzi sighed secretly, this disciple is also wonderful, the answer to the question is like a stream, who knows that he wrote a bullshit article under the pen, he is also angry, even if he has not written it, it should not be written like this, there is no chapter, there are many mistakes and omissions, and there is no beauty at all.

If Xu Jin's hand is as comfortable as jade liquid, then the article is like a piece of shit that makes people unappetizing, which is simply two extremes.

"This is the article that the old man participated in the county examination and the government examination in the past, you take it back and study it carefully, and then write an eight-strand essay every day, and the old man will draw up the topic for you!" Guo Baichuan took out two rolls and handed them to Xu Jin.

Although Guo Baichuan was stuck in the hospital examination and never passed the Xiucai examination, he passed the county examination and the government examination, so he won the title of Tongsheng.

At this time, the two volumes that Guo Baichuan gave to Xu Jin were the two eight-strand essays that he passed the county and government examinations that year, and they have always been his proud masterpieces.

Of course, it is unknown whether it is a good work, and those who can pass the exam should also be regarded as articles on the horizontal line.

"Thank you Master!" Xu Jin respectfully took the roll and put it away.

Guo Baichuan waved his hand and said, "You go home, tomorrow's topic is: people don't know and don't be ashamed." You think about it tonight, and come back tomorrow to write an article, if it's still as bullshit as today's, the old man will be heavily punished! ”

Xu Jin retreated depressedly, thinking that he was a high-achieving student who graduated from a key university, and the great man who had been in the business world for decades had been reduced to writing a bullshit eight-strand essay in the Ming Dynasty!

Xu Jin walked home with the book basket on his back, pondering the writing method of the eight strands, and unconsciously entered Xujia Village.

"Hey, Brother Jin is out of school!"

"Lao Shi is back!"

Xu Jin faintly felt that something was wrong, because the villagers he met had strange eyes and a smile with a joke.

Xu Jin subconsciously quickened his pace, and saw many people gathered in his yard from a distance, and some villagers watched through the fence.

"Something's wrong!" Xu Jin's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed over.

In the courtyard, Xie Xiaowan was standing with her head down and wiping her tears, like a frightened little quail, while a white-haired old man on crutches was still loudly reprimanding her, while Xu Youcai and his wife were gloating and sneering beside them.

Xu Jin suddenly became angry in his heart, and he was angry and courageous, and he was reluctant to scold Xiaowan's girl for half a sentence, and now she was bullied like that by others, which is worth it.

However, Xu Jin was not impulsive, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his chest, and then stepped into the courtyard.

The white-haired old man on crutches was Xu Deming, the patriarch of Xujia Village. In feudal society, people's family concept is very strong, so the power of the patriarch is also terrifying, if it is a contradiction within the family, and no one reports to the county government, the county officials will not care, it is all up to the patriarch of the family to deal with. For example, if a woman of any family does not keep women's morals, the patriarch can order the pigcage to be sunk and drowned alive.

At this time, Guo Deming was reprimanding Xie Xiaowan, probably meaning that she failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife, so that Xu Jin made a disobedient and unruly behavior of selling land.

Xu Jin was both shocked and angry, it was his own idea to sell the land, how could it be blamed on Xiaowan, not to mention that Lao Tzu sold his own land, and it was related to other people's, and the patriarch was too lenient!

"Alas, Brother Jin is back from school!" Xu Youcai's mother-in-law, He Shi, had sharp eyes, and when she saw Xu Jinxing entering the courtyard, she immediately screamed in a strange way.

Xu Jin glanced at Xu Youcai and his wife coldly, and he could think with his toes that today's episode must have been instigated by these bastards.

"Xianggong!" When Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin, she immediately cried aggrievedly.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, ignoring everyone's gaze, lightly hugged Xie Xiaowan's shoulder, and comforted: "Xiaowan, don't be afraid, everything is borne by the princess." ”

"Humph!" Guo Deming snorted coldly, dissatisfaction was written on his face, this little cub came in and coaxed his daughter-in-law first, without even saying hello, and clearly did not put his own patriarch in his eyes.

Xie Xiaowan trembled slightly in fear, Xu Jin patted her thin shoulder, turned around and saluted, "My nephew has seen the patriarch!" ”

Guo Deming slapped his crutches heavily, and said with a black face: "Evil obstacles, I don't discuss such a big matter as selling the field with the old man, do you have the patriarch of the old man in your eyes?" ”

Xu Jin was unhappy, why should I discuss with you when I sell my land? However, Xu Jin also knew the prestige of the patriarch, if he had a hard top with him, he would only ask for his own hardship, after all, he was weak.

"How dare the nephew not put the patriarch in his eyes, the nephew who sold the land was also temporary, and even Xiaowan didn't know about it, so he didn't have time to discuss it with the patriarch!"

What kind of person is Xu Jin, a veteran of the ups and downs of the business sea for decades, he is perfect in interpersonal communication, and lies come as soon as he opens his mouth, without blinking, and first clears up Xie Xiaowan's relationship.

Xie Xiaowan's girl opened her mouth in amazement, and the tone and expression of Xianggong's speech at this moment made even her herself a little convinced.

Xu Youcai sneered: "Tenth brother, today your daughter-in-law has taken someone to measure and appraise, if she hadn't happened to be bumped into by Xiuqin, I'm afraid that even the deed would have been given to someone." Is it just that or is it improvised? You really think the patriarch is confused! ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realize that he was looking for a broker in the first place, and it was estimated that a buyer came to look at the land today and was bumped into by Xu Youcai's mother-in-law.

"The old man killed you as a wicked obstacle!" Xu Deming was so angry that he raised his cane and was about to beat Xu Jin.

Xie Xiaowan hurriedly blocked in front of Xu Jin, crying: "Don't beat Xianggong, if you want to fight, just beat Xiaowan!" ”

Xu Jin moved the little girl behind him and said softly: "Stay obediently, the Xiang Guild will handle it!" ”

Xu Deming held the cane and didn't fight, his eyes were a little strange, this kid's calmness annoyed him, but more curiosity.
