The night was already quite late.

The ten disciples in the upper house in the Zhuzi Pavilion also sat in the hall, and none of them left.

The disciples either buried themselves in reading or wrote diligently.

Lin Yanchao sat in front of the desk, holding a book in his hand, lighting a small oil lamp in front of him, and the small insects in the lampshade hit the lamp wall one by one.

The crickets in the yard were singing in their ears, Lin Yanchao took off the lampshade, and the black insects tied in the lampshade buzzed, flapped their wings and fled for their lives.

Lin Yanchao withdrew his gaze, put aside the authentic article he had read halfway, rubbed his eyes, and thought to himself how he should choose the topic this time.

This idle grass set is an excellent opportunity for me to practice my pen.

Writing a book and making a statement is not achieved overnight, just by virtue of the name of the head of the government test case, it would be too much to take it for granted if you want to sell it to Luoyang paper. The city has not sold a few books, not to mention that he is a child. is so ambitious, his talent is as good as Chen Ziang, and he has to smash the piano and give poems to hype up his fame.

At the moment, Lin Yanchao has not thought about the two selected essays, but he is distracted, and he can't bear to release the "Authentic Articles" written by the great master of science, Zhen Dexiu.

Lin Yanchao looked attentively, and Gong Zinan came to Lin Yanchao on the side and asked: "Brother, why don't you write an article, but you read this miscellaneous book with relish, and you have to pay the article to the mountain chief tomorrow." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I have my own measure, have you finished writing?" ”

Gong Zinan scratched his head and said: "Finally finished writing, the mountain chief told me to wait and think about how to write an article, but I wrote so fast, I'm afraid that the mountain chief will say that I am not serious in writing." ”

Lin Yanchao knew that although Gong Zinan was young, he was quick-witted. No matter what kind of article is written immediately, there will rarely be long-term thinking.

Lin Yanchao said: "Some people are anxious, and some people are good at worrying. Since you are good at writing quick essays, don't follow the example of others. ”

Gong Zinan smiled and said, "That's right." In fact, my brother also has a knack for writing idle grass collection articles, and after this article is published, many articles will be included in the official engraving book. You also know the articles to be recorded in the official engraving book. First, it is necessary to write in a neutral and peaceful manner, and not to make a fuss, and the second is to praise the saints, sing peacefully, and if it is a poem, it must be systematized. ”

Lin Yanchao understood that this was the legendary officialdom literature.

Lin Yanchao said: "That's not, it's better for me to wait for the article to be written in the Taiwan Pavilion style." ”

Gong Zinan said: "My uncle taught me to read and write articles, which was taught from the Taige style. He said that we scholars are herdsmen for the Son of Heaven, and it is natural to whitewash the peace. Therefore, the official sample essay is the first-class article that the reader should learn to write. The rest of the idle work is okay to copy in private, but it can't be put on the table. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, Gong Zinan made sense.

Otherwise, I would have written Golden Plum Bottle and Dream of Red Mansions a long time ago, and then I would have been famous all over the world, but I don't know what the name is. The good ones are said to be merry and talented, and the bad ones will be sprayed as corrupt and worldly. For example, Pu Songling wrote a book about fasting. It was ridiculed as a joke about nothing. It is regarded as a refusal to study the meaning of the scriptures. and prefer crooked ways.

Therefore, writing novels and talking about anything is inconsistent with his identity as a scholar who is bent on pursuing a career.

In the authentic article in Lin Yanchao's hand commenting on the articles of the world, the resignation issued by the imperial court is also listed as the first class, saying that the article is applied to the imperial court and the world, and it is not so important. For example, the edicts, oaths, and orders in the book are all first-class articles.

But the problem is now. Although officialdom literature is the main theme, it is inevitable that there are too many false and empty.

Such as the praise of saintliness, the article of Song Taiping has been written badly, and the current text of the Taige style of the previous dynasty was so black as the first seven sons and the seventh son. Squirt from head to tail. So unless he writes new ideas in officialdom articles, it is still quite difficult for Lin Yanchao to become famous through articles.

Lin Yanchao put aside the authentic article, writing an official sample essay is a step for every reader to complete the scriptures, not to mention studying now, it will also be used as an official in the future.

However, Lin Yanchao is really reluctant to write articles praising virtue at the moment. And the article that talks about the government in vain, for Tong Sheng, is looking for death.

If you are a child, you should write an essay that is in line with your identity, and for students, it is very appropriate to write an essay that advises and encourages learning.

Thinking of the word encouragement, Lin Yanchao suddenly remembered a good article in later generations to persuade learning.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao's frowning brows relaxed. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, even in officialdom literature, there can be good articles.

He took his pen and dipped it in ink, and scribbled it down on the paper.

The title of the article is "For Learning".

At the beginning, it was written, is it difficult to do things in the world? If you do it, it will be easy for those who are difficult; If you don't, it's easy and it's hard. Is it easy to learn? If you learn it, it will be easy for those who are difficult; If you don't learn, it's easy and difficult.

The content of the article is very simple, citing the example of two monks, saying that a poor monk and a rich monk want to go to the South China Sea from Shuzhong. The poor monk said that I could go with a bottle and a bowl, and the rich monk sneered, I want to buy a boat and go down, but I can't, why can you go. A year later, the poor monk returned from the South China Sea, and the rich monk was ashamed.

In the end, it is concluded that faintness and mediocrity can be limited but not limited; Those who do not limit themselves to their faintness and mediocrity and are tireless in mechanics are also self-reliant.

Lin Yanchao was very satisfied after writing the whole article, and the persuasion and encouragement of learning definitely echoed today's official thoughts.

After Lin Yanchao finished writing one article, he simply stopped writing the second one.

Before the morning class on the second day, Lin Yanchao directly took a volume of the article and went to borrow it from Luzhai to show it to the mountain chief Lin Yin.

Lin Yin was very happy to hear that Lin Yanchao came to deliver the manuscript, and he was even happier after reading it.

The wrinkles on Lin Yin's face were stretched, and he said with a smile: "This article is well said, people are learning, the most important thing is to be determined, not in the level of talent, but in their own diligence and studiousness." The meaning of the sage is exhausted, although the meaning of the article is shallow, it is concise and concise, and the meaning of the text is even better, which can urge people to learn. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Yanchao said with a smile.

Lin Yin said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet, especially this sentence is smart and unstoppable, mediocre is unlimited, it is very well written, you have the ability to recite with your eyes, but you are not arrogant, and you know how to learn from this point with an open mind, which is really commendable." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't praise the disciples anymore, ask the mountain chief to polish the students." ”

Lin Yin shook his head and said, "This kind of good text can't be easily changed, how dare I change it." This article, when I was in my school, took it, and put it at the beginning and end of the idle grass collection with the first four books of your house test. When the time comes, I will ask another Confucian to comment on your two articles. ”

Lin Yanchao was overjoyed at the moment and said, "Thank you, Mountain Chief!" ”

Lin Yin smiled and said: "This is all your own talent, what does it have to do with me, if I don't appreciate it, it will bury your good article." ”

Listening to Lin Yin's praise, Lin Yanchao was very happy in his heart, and he finally took the first step to make a statement. (To be continued......)
