I don't know how long Xu Ping reminisced there, until Xiuxiu, who was following aside, couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered: "Official, the lady of the Lin family has already returned home." The rope she sent you is no matter how beautiful it is, it's not too late to go home and see it, be careful of catching a cold here. ”

Xu Ping came back to his senses, looked at Xiuxiu, smiled self-deprecatingly, and went back to the courtyard together.

Of course, Xu Ping is not a nymphomaniac there, or he has never been in love, so he will not be so out of shape, he is just reminiscing about today's events.

On a whim, I memorized an ancient poem learned in my previous life, but I didn't expect the teacher and Lin Suniang to change their views on themselves, and repeatedly said that they were talented, which greatly surprised Xu Ping.

Xu Ping stood there and pondered for a long time before he understood the mystery in the middle. Lin Wensi's father and daughter's change in their views of themselves is not because they made a decent poem. If the poems are so useful, Xu Ping will find a way to copy dozens of poems no matter how bad he is, where to wait until now. In fact, although the imperial examination is also tested to write poems, the status can no longer be compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is basically a pure sending of points, and even if the rhyme does not go off the topic, even if it passes, the examiner will basically not look up to it because the poem is well written.

Lin Wensi's father and daughter are interested in the content of the poem. The original author of the poem is a generation of Confucianism, which is naturally attractive to readers. To be able to make this kind of poem, they value that Xu Ping has the potential to become a real reader.

Don't talk about Lin Wensi, even Lin Suniang has been reading poetry and books with her father since she was a child, which is really from a scholarly family. She is not the sister of Qinglou, a spring heart is restless every day. If it weren't for such a poem, Xu Ping would have written something like "seeing each other and competing for nothing, how can love seem ruthless", no matter how good the writing is, Lin Suniang will not raise his eyelids at him. The scholar in her mind is her father Lin Wensi, who has read sage books, and it is best to be able to roll call at Donghua Gate, ride a big horse, and wear purple clothes. As for the down-and-out literati who linger in the brothel Qinglou and blindly write about Yingying Yanyan, they have their own fan groups.

Xu Ping's impression of women in this era mostly comes from various stories from his previous life, which are basically divided into two types. One is the one who lives in the boudoir, or the Qinglou painting boat, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are omniscient, a sentimental little liver, and the love is the merry talent. There is also a kind of Lin Su Niang, who is knowledgeable and courteous, dignified and virtuous, and half of the people's minds must fall on others, and do everything. They may not have a delicate inner world of their own, but they have the feminine virtues that men fantasize about. A man chooses the other half of his life to accompany him, especially in this era, which one will he choose?

In Xu Ping's understanding, the women of this era are still too similar, so they don't have any special selection thoughts. Lin Suniang is good enough, and he is happy to accept it.

If it weren't such a world, if the women in the world had three heads, eight legs, and eighty-eight exquisite hearts, all of which were different, Xu Ping would never have accepted an arranged marriage so easily.

Since the excitement of that day, it has been a few days in a flash, and it has passed plainly.

On the first day of May, the eighth day of the new year, Xu Ping got out of class and returned to his small courtyard with two books.

Xiuxiu lay on the small square table in the courtyard, with a sad face.

Xu Ping circled around her and said strangely: "Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiuxiu looked at the various zongzi in the basin on the table and sighed: "Official, I have eaten zongzi for several days in a row, and Xiuxiu can't eat them." ”

After all, the Xu family is not an ordinary small family, and Su Er wants to show his Jiangnan craftsmanship, and I don't know how many kinds of zongzi are sent to Xu Ping. What kind of zongzi did Xu Ping never see in his previous life? That is, sticky millet felt novelty, ate a few more, and the rest went to Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu was born in a poor family, and she really didn't eat anything good, so she began to eat happily, and today, she finally can't eat anymore.

Xu Ping said: "What's so worrying about this, just give it to Gao Daquan outside for them to eat." ”

Xiuxiu nodded with a bitter face and didn't say anything.

Xu Ping smiled and patted her head: "Put it here first, and I'll let them get it themselves later." ”

Xiuxiu stood up at this time, and her face bloomed.

Since the last zongzi incident, Xiuxiu's heart still has a pimple after all.

Seeing Xu Ping holding two books, Xiu Xiuqi said: "Official, how can you bring the book back to read today?" ”

In the past month, although Xu Ping obediently followed Lin Wensi to read, he mostly responded to stories and didn't pay attention in class, let alone bring books back to review. suddenly changed her sex today, and even Xiuxiu was surprised.

Xu Ping sat down, put the two books on his knees and patted them, and said to Xiuxiu: "Here is one of the "Rite Rhymes" produced by this dynasty, and the other is the new "Jade Chapter", the teacher specially asked me to bring them back and learn it well." This time it's not a joke, Mr. said, if you can't answer the exam, you really have to be boarded. From now on, I will also write orthography and elegant words. When will the imperial court open, I will also go to the middle jinshi and come back, wear the green, red and purple, Xiuxiu, do you say okay? ”

Xiuxiu covered her mouth and smiled: "The official said it so easily! ”

"Is it difficult?" Xu Ping let out a long sigh, "It's really difficult!" This time, the teacher let out his majesty, and he almost beat me to kill me a hundred times! Xiuxiu, officials will not have a good life in the future! ”

Xiuxiu smiled: "Lin Xiucai is still for the sake of the officials after all!" ”

Xu Ping shook his head, sighed, and entered the house alone. He regretted very much that he was angry that day, copying poems written by others, and sure enough, there was no good result. Lin Wensi actually saw that he was a talent that could be created, and he never slackened off, and used tough means to build him into a talent.

The Jade Chapter and the Ritual Rhyme were the most basic reference books for the imperial examination at this time, and they belonged to the first-class dictionary, while the latter focused on the rhyme department. In the past, although Xu Ping also paid attention to himself, when he wrote, he often wrote the simplified characters of his previous life involuntarily, and colloquial language abounded. In Lin Wensi's words, it is the vulgar village language that has not been taught repeatedly, and this time he is going to be cured ruthlessly.

It's okay not to take the imperial examination, you can write whatever you want, if you want to take the imperial examination, the writing and rhyme must be beneficial, otherwise there is no matter how big the talent is, and you will go coolly. It's only been a few years, and Li Di, the champion of the Zhenzong Dynasty, almost planted his head on this, because of the rhyme, he didn't even get a Jinshi and the first, thanks to Prime Minister Wang Dan's love for his talent, he became the champion. If you look further, Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the two Song Dynasty literary circles, who dares to say that his articles are not good? The poor ghost didn't have a reference book, because he tossed the road to the imperial examination, and he didn't solve the problem until he found an old man who understood.

Xu Ping has a good life, the cheap old man is a person who understands on the road to the imperial examination, let him lay this foundation first, and don't make jokes in the future. Furthermore, how many exams did Xu Ping pass in his previous life? is also a little expert in taking exams, so he naturally understands this truth, and if he wants to take the exam, he must first understand how to answer the papers, right?

In this era, no one intends to promote any standardization, not to mention the usual writing, that is, there are various ways to write the words on the carved book, and everyone is not surprised. But on formal occasions, you have to write the orthographic characters, which can be clearly found in the new edition of the "Jade Chapter", and you can't make it up by yourself. The first step in taking the imperial examination is to make the characters written in line with the font in the "Jade Chapter". This is not simple, you must know that there are many subtle differences between ancient and modern, and there are many places where the "grass" head and "bamboo" head are easy to be confused, but it is not so simple and rude to divide simplified and traditional Chinese. Especially the various avoidances of the imperial court, who can remember the Qing Dynasty? It is even more necessary to refer to the latest version of the "Jade Chapter".

If you want to play with personality, wait for the middle jinshi to talk about it, no one will care about it at that time, and there are still fewer simplified characters in the handwriting left by Su Shi and several great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty?

For Xu Ping, who was forced to go to the imperial examination, the good news is that this year is the year of Dabi, which has just passed, and he will not be forced too hard. The bad news is that at this time, the year of the imperial examination is uncertain, every year, every other year, every two years, and even every three or four years. I don't know the length of the preparation period, Lin Wensi will not be soft.
