Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Zhang Shangshu approvingly said: "This should be the case. In the orthodox reign of the first emperor, Cheng Guogong set up martial arts to teach officers' children, and also allowed Wu students and Confucian students to receive tribute in general scientific examinations, in order to make them study and know the ceremony. Although these children are a little insignificant. How can the position of the official be worthy of the future of the official official? Turning back, I discussed with Master Lin, really grasping the style of martial arts, severely rewarding and punishing, so that the saints who know how to speak, are familiar with Taoism, and are courageous. Capital."

Xie Ying agreed: "Shangshu's care and love is the blessing of these students."

Zhang Shangshu shook his head: "What is the blessing, if you really take a strict examination, they don't know how to hate me. However, the martial arts atmosphere is not as strict as before. The students are lazy to enter school. As for the "Seven Books of Wujing" I can’t understand, and I’m not diligent in doing exercises. Today, when I went to school, I found more than a dozen older young officials and children who were truant. It’s also time to punish them severely and use their academic style."

Xie Ying folded her hands and smiled: "Then the official will not delay the adult's business."

Zhang Shangshu nodded slightly, lowered his head and saw the book he was holding in his right hand. He couldn't help but sighed: "A young man who has not yet enrolled in the countryside is still willing to study the scriptures. This martial arts school was appointed to teach. It is really shocking to teach some mediocre students. These books will teach them to put them in the lecture hall when they look back, so that the students will come and go to watch, and they will grow up to be ashamed and progressive!"

Xie Ying raised her eyebrows, and said in amazement, "This Cui Xie is not from the countryside..."

Zhang Shangshu slowly shook his head, pressed the line "Qian'an Cui Xie Catalogue" on the bookmark with his fingertips, looked at him and said, "Didn't he see living in Qian'an County? Isn't he studying with rural scholars? Spirit grass will also be born. Xiangrui is the only one between the mountains and the wild, if it grows in Zhong Ding’s house, it’s just a garden orchid and jade tree.

If Xie Ying looked at him with enlightenment, Zhang Shangshu’s smile deepened. He looked at the book and said, “Since he compiled this book in the county, it is enough to serve as a role model for the martial arts student and who he is. What does it matter to his son?"

He rolled the book into a tube, knocked his palm and walked back to the inner room.

Xie Ying stood behind him, and when he entered, he sighed slightly and turned to leave the lecture hall. When I went outside the hall, I saw Sun Yingjue who was looking for him and greeted him, "Sun Shizi."

Sun Yingjue also replied, saying: "I just came in to find you just now. I saw that you were answering with the soldier. I didn't dare to interrupt, so I quit and waited. This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to sit first?"

Xie Ying agreed, walked out of the martial arts school with him, and rode to the nearby restaurant. Sun Yingjue had a lot of things to ask, and when he arrived in the box, he asked people to clear the room. He asked impatiently: "I just vaguely heard a few words-Master Xie, this is to abandon the martial arts study and change the exam?"

Xie Ying replied politely: "How can this happen, but I feel that others are diligent in learning, and I have also added police policies in my heart, not dare to waste time like before."

Sun Yingjue exclaimed: "What is the origin of that child prodigy? You are like a gangster. You will read a book behind closed doors after reading him?"

Xie Ying's lips opened slightly, and the three words "Cui Meiren" fluttered on the tip of her tongue but pressed back. She simply said: "It's not the righteous Cui Xie who asked Jin Yiwei for him. I thought he was a brave man. Scholar, I don’t understand the writing and ink, and I don’t want him to go back to his hometown and read the book for a few days to collect sentences into a book. It’s a bit touched."

Sun Shizi still didn't think of who Cui Yishi was, and exclaimed: "This isn't the Zhou Dynasty anymore? Wu can eliminate the three evils, and after decades of reading books, he can become an official in the imperial examination and become a famous minister..."

Xie Ying smiled and said confidently: "Why study for decades. That really is a child prodigy. I think it won't take him a few years to be admitted to the capital."

"It doesn't matter if he has been in Beijing for a few years. Don't be determined to study hard for a few years. You can read the Analects of the two rooms and you can't take the test." Sun Yingjue shook his head, suddenly tut two. Sheng, leaning on the table and leaning toward him, asked, "Master Xie is this year?"

Xie Ying didn't care what he asked like from the sky, punching and kicking, and only replied solemnly: "Xiaguan is twenty and three this year, and the eldest son is two years old."

The grandson said: "You are twenty-three. My father has two sons and a daughter at your age. I have fewer sons and daughters, and now I have a daughter. I think it’s because you don’t have a young and old companion. I missed my studies freely."

The smile on Xie Ying's face did not change, as if the person being teased was not him, and asked: "This is why the son of the world came to find me today? I feel that I am still young, and I am not in a hurry to get tired of the family."

Sun Yingjue took a close look at him: "Are you still young?"

Xie Ying said leisurely: "In ancient times, women married at 20, and men married at 30, so that they would have enough energy and blood, and then practice humanity, so ancient people often lived longer. Calculated by this, I am still young The son’s kindness thanked me for accepting it. The marriage is not anxious. I still take advantage of reading a few more books for the good age, so that I can do a good job for the emperor in the future."

Forget it, Xie Qianhu is stunned by the child prodigy!

Sun Yingjue shook his head and left the restaurant, telling his father that Xie Ying had read about things that even his parents didn't want to accomplish.

Huaininghou, who had been run on his son's words these past two days, was worried about what kind of marriage to Xie Ying, he was relieved when he heard that, he held his son in the corner of his eye, and cursed a few words indiscriminately: " People know that studying and nurturing have enough energy and blood. You will be fooled in Neiwei at fifteen or sixteen, and you have lost your body. After so many years, you have brought a granddaughter to me. Who do you want me to inherit from the Ning Hou Mansion in the future? You also go to the study to read quietly for two days, and no more female sex!"

Sun Yingjue was actually locked up in the study, and it took him a long time to get out. He deeply regretted that he had told his old father in advance, and through his father's work in the government, he sought out a few good friends such as Yongkang Hou Xu Qi and Wu'an Hou's son Zheng Gang, and complained a few words. Everyone shook their heads and sighed: "You have been in the Peach Blossom Spring these few days, and you don't know the world. Don't you know that the martial arts is even more troublesome for everyone?"

He was surprised: "Why, the martial arts students are all determined to be admitted to Jinshi like Xie Ying?"

Xiangcheng's grand-nephew Li Yan sighed: "It would be good if you have to take the exam by yourself! Now the soldier Zhang and the admiral Lin Yushi, who is the admiral of martial arts, must be strict with the trend-

"For example, morning and evening, everything that cannot be engraved at the beginning of the hour will be recorded, and the camp officer will sternly reprimand; when encountering the camp, those who want to go out for exercises first go to school to ask for leave, and then go back to school after the exercise. There was the assessment at the beginning of the month, which was originally controlled by the instructor in the school, but now the soldier is personally making plans for the problem, and he is also asked to make corrections by the subordinates. How can you say this!"

Sun Yingjue touched his nose, secretly rejoicing that he was over twenty and no longer needed to go to school.

Another son who was studying and studying said: "The "Encourage Learning" written by Zhang Butang himself is hung in the lecture hall. What is written, "It is only in a cold state and then can read a book? Is it so prosperous and can read a book?" What? 'The husband and the road are endless, although the saints still need to learn.'... I also got a few books compiled by an unknown country prodigy and put them on the shelf in the lecture hall, and the instructors were always "fifteen and aspiring to learn." He is not the literati who relies on reading to eat, so what do you do so seriously!"

Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not a child prodigy in the countryside, why did you forget? It's the righteous man whom Jin Yiwei gave to Jingbiao, the one in the demon case, the son of Cui Que of the Hubu! He handed over a glass of wine and rejoiced, and ran away without drinking it. It was really disappointing!"

Someone said: "Who remembers the son of a subordinate official so clearly. I know someone in Qian'an County, who is also named Cui——"

Everyone understood and laughed for a while.

Another person asked: "Could the Qian'an surname Cui be a common surname, but Cui Meiren was born, but also a child prodigy named Cui?"

Xu Qi said: "This child prodigy Cui who wrote the book seems to be born from Cui Langzhong. That romantic Cui Meiren was definitely not raised by the old Dong Hung family. I remember his family had only two daughters, and the oldest one was still married. When we arrive in Sichuan, it cannot be Cui Meiren."

Everyone looked at Sun Yingjue--his father knew Jinyiwei's affairs, and he was still in the Weisuo now, watching him know more about Cui Meiren.

Sun Yingjue also spread his hand: "These days I asked my father to lock me in the study room, and the door was still closed. I don't know much as Xu Houye. Besides, how can someone who is a young and beautiful lady publish a book and can set up a house? Even if she is a beauty, I am afraid that she is also a milf. I will not investigate. If she does not find it out, I will treat her as a beauty like a Tarzan goddess; she finds out that she is an old man , How will I read her books in the future."

Everyone shook their heads one after another, unwilling to believe that the beautiful name came out of thin air, but the shadow of this beauty's twilight was stuck in their hearts, and it was meaningless to continue speaking. Wu’an Hou Shizi mentioned that Qian’an had another Qingzhutang that could print color pictures. The Diamond Sutra was printed well, and the Buddha statues were extremely solemn and beautiful. His wife invited several volumes to be offered at Tanzhe Temple and Liantong. Several husbands here asked his house where they were invited.

Just after I finished talking about the four books, I talked about Buddhist scriptures. They were all serious and boring things. These honourable men were so dull that they all said, "No matter how beautiful the pictures in the scriptures are, they can be seen as beautiful pictures. It's better to think of Cui Meiren. What story is going to come out in the new book..."

=====================================

Choi Xie is indeed studying the new book at home.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a total of 120 chapters and 24 volumes. If they were all engraved by themselves, they would not be able to engrave them until next year. Therefore, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just like the Diamond Sutra. Proofread and revised.

The old version is also available with pictures and texts, and Pengyan followed them to edit the text and printed a copy. After Cui Xie went home, he took the time to look at the typesetting, adding illustrations according to the storyline, and asking the craftsman to cut off the extra plates and line up the two plates; or take apart the plates and put together one plate each. Go up.

As for the comments received, it is inconvenient to insert the carved plate into the frame, so he asked the craftsman to carve it out with a very narrow vertical plate and put it on the outside of the plate. They ordered large sheets of one-foot-two long and eight-inch three-cents wide from the Zhao's house in the east. After they were bound into a book, there was an inch wide white border on each side of the sidebar.

After the book was opened, the comments printed in the left and right blank spaces happened to be connected in the center of the page. Individual comments are printed in different colors, and the content and colors collide. Some complement each other or refute each other, which is both eye-catching and attractive. If there are not enough comments between pages, a long argument is attached after the chapter, which is still printed in a different ink color, which does not affect readers' reading of the text.

Because the comments and pictures were not in place, they tried to print the first few chapters first, accompanied by the painted pictures of beauties such as Empress He, Empress Fu, Diao Chan, Er Qiao, etc. Please ask senior readers like Tang Ning and Prince Wang Trial for major customers.

Tang Caizi found a few colleagues to share, and wrote a long article about how comfortable the book looks and how fascinating the comments are. The prince was more realistic, and ran to his house with silver sleeves in his sleeves and asked him, "Is there enough money to print this set of books? I will vote you a few hundred taels first, and order 20 sets first!"

Cui Xie was relieved and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Wang, my set of "Lian Fang Lu" has already made enough money, and this book is only short of drawing and reviewing, and there is no shortage of workers and money. "

In fact, what he worries most is that the famous generals he painted will not be recognized by the people of the dynasty-the heroic men in the Ming Dynasty paintings all have a long waist and big belly, and the belly is not big enough, as if there is no respect for the famous generals. He was not accustomed to drawing a round belly, so he gave Lu Bu a waist. Several engravers thought that the generals he painted were not strong. Fortunately, the big clients and critics who gave money to the aesthetic online gave him another confidence.

To be cautious, he also asked Prince Wang: "I have drawn Wen Hou's belly smaller. Doesn't it matter?"

Prince Wang didn't care much and said: "Who is looking at his stomach, is his face not enough? Besides, brother, I don't have a stomach. Who dares to say that I am not strong and beautiful?"

Wang Daguan is right.

Cui Xie sent him away with satisfaction, and picked out the spread of Lu Bu's play Diao Chan, and asked the printer to print a few more copies and send it to the store, so that the treasurer would show them to the customers who bought the books and ask more people. Can you accept this style of painting?

Whoever thinks that the picture hasn't been sent, the treasurer of the computer came. And he got home from noon, and sat down abruptly until he left school, without even eating a few bites of tea and rice.

Cui Xie looked at him with a look of dismay, almost thinking that the imperial court was about to ban "Three Kingdoms", so he hurriedly asked Pengyan to give him a bowl of new tea, sat opposite him and asked cheerfully, "What happened? When our shop was about to collapse, didn't it also survived, why are so many books selling just right now, you seem to be frightened?"

The shopkeeper Ji wiped his face, handed him a copy of "Jinghua Day Copy" that had been soaked on paper all afternoon, and said tremblingly: "Look at it for yourself. I bought it from Jingli, and printed a copy of "Encouraging Learning" by Zhang Peng, Shangshu from the Ministry of War. The son looked at the preface of the article, Master Shangshu... Master Shangshu actually knew about you..."

Cui Xie’s heartbeat speeds up slightly. He reaches out to take the "Ri Tiao", opens and finds the "Encourage Learning Chapter". After a few glances, he sees that there is a sentence in the preface: "I have feelings about reading the four books by Cui, a schoolboy in Qian'an County. , Then wrote this article for the Beijing martial arts members."

The author has something to say: "The husband and the road are endless, although the saints still need to be learned." From Gui Youguang's eight-part "My Fifteen Aspirations to Learn" section
