Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

For a moment, only the sound of Su Mu grinding ink was left in the room.

Mr. Wu became impatient, couldn't help but opened his eyes, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why, you don't want to write, or don't you know?"

Seeing Su Mu's hesitation, the old gentleman thought that Su Mu was still worried about the consequences of leaking the exam questions, and he was very dissatisfied.He also suspected that maybe Su Mu really didn't know the topic, but lied to himself.

Feeling anxious again, his face turned blue.

Breathing also began to quicken.

Seeing that the old man's face began to distort, Su Mu knew that he was on the verge of breaking out, and was greatly surprised. He knew that if this delay continued, something might happen to the old man.

Busily whispered: "Old Mr. Wu, I will write right away, right away."

After all, I couldn't care too much, so I quickly picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, and wrote on the paper: "The wood of Niushan Mountain tastes beautiful."

As soon as Su Mu started to write, Mr. Wu regained his energy, stretched his head over, his eyes were full of longing.

Seeing that he finished writing this question, he couldn't help nodding his head: "It's "Mencius". Mencius said: The wood of Niushan is beautiful. Since it is located in a big country on the outskirts, can it be considered beautiful? The rest of the day and night, the moistening of the rain and dew, is not without the growth of sprouts, and the cattle and sheep graze them, so it is like the other. People see it and think that it is not a material. Is this the nature of the mountain? "

Su Mu praised in his heart, this old Mr. Wu is really amazing, I only wrote a few words, and he can completely recite the whole paragraph.

This sentence is indeed from "Mencius", and it probably means: The trees on the mountain used to be very lush, because it was on the outskirts of the metropolis, and they were often cut down with knives and axes. Can they still remain lush?

The trees that grow day and night on the mountain and are nourished by rain and dew are not without shoots and new branches, but the cattle and sheep are grazing here again, so they are so bare.When people see it is bare, they think that there are no mature trees growing on this mountain. Is this the nature of Niu Mountain?In other words, is there no heart of benevolence and righteousness in human beings?

Su Mu nodded and replied casually, "Exactly."

Wu Shiqi asked back: "Then, old man, let me ask you how to solve the problem."

Su Mu didn't even think about it, and replied: "Today's Fu Mountain is where the grass and trees gather."

"Isn't it a little more concise?"

"The key is the following questions."

"Speak."

"And the reason why he sees beauty in others is because of this."

"So what if we start talking?"

One question after another, without giving Su Mu any time to think.

Su Mu also said by the way: "If you are like a mountain of cattle, there are others who are not. The ax and catty go there, and they can't keep their beauty from the beginning; the cattle and sheep go there, and they can't keep their beauty until the end. This country is located in a big country. , and it is convenient to seek pasture and grass.”

Wu Shiqi: "It's kind of interesting. I didn't expect that your stereotyped essays have reached such a high level. You can go to Chunwei this time." He nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Su Mu's answer.

Everyone likes to hear other people's compliments, and Su Mu is not immune, and he feels a little proud in his heart.Just as I was about to be modest, I suddenly felt shocked: I am so proud, this is nothing more than plagiarism, and it doesn't make much sense if I use someone else's model essay to show it.

It turned out that this article was the anti-model essay of the former seven young sons of the Ming Dynasty who entered Kanghai to participate in this year's Chunwei. It was also because of the first exam that he won the first place, and later became the number one scholar.It would be a strange thing if Wu Shiqi's article could not be praised by such a first-class master.

No, this article turned out to be the subject of this year's exam.No, it should be the title of the spring of the 16th year of Hongzhi in real history.It's just that this piece of time and space has become unrecognizable because of Su Mu's time travel.The Chunwei in the 16th year of Hongzhi was not held as scheduled, but was postponed for one year and became Enke in the first year of Zhengde.

Back then, when Su Mu helped his mentor edit the eight-legged essay of the No. [-] Scholar in the past dynasties, the mentor felt that Kang Huan's article was of high quality, so he simply included it in the collection.As his assistant, Su Mu naturally remembered this article.When Mr. Wu asked me just now, I blurted out without even thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Su Mu almost slapped himself on the forehead: I am trying so hard, anyway, the real history of the 16th year of Hongzhi Chunwei no longer exists, so I simply copied the questions of that session of the test to the old man alright.

If you continue to dawdle like this, maybe it will really make Mr. Wu suspicious.

The old man's mood went up and down today, and he couldn't be stimulated anymore.

Su Mu didn't want to think too much, so he closed his mouth and wrote the second question on paper.

""Mencius said Wushangye", Mencius said: Wushangye, scholars hate a lot. The poem says: Worry quietly, and feel angry at the small group. Confucius also. Don't be resentful, and don't ask about it. King Wen also .” Mr. Wu began to recite the original text again.

After memorizing this paragraph, I will start to explain again.

Su Mu was already tired of his magic spell, he just wanted to finish this damn errand earlier so that he could go home and sleep.

At that moment, without waiting for Wu Shiqi to continue talking nonsense, he started to write the third question.

"The title of "Those who want to reunify their families first cultivate their bodies" is really too simple." The old man couldn't stop shaking his head.

Su Mu also nodded secretly, Xiu, Qi, Zhi and Ping are the essence of Confucianism.It probably means that a righteous person must first correct himself.If you want to create peace in the world, do something.Scholars should start by correcting their own ideological attitudes and improving their spiritual realm.Thus affecting one family, one place, the last country, and the whole world.

Extending with this core of thought, it can be extended to "I do not reflect on myself every day".

To be honest, in the real history, the difficulty of the three "Four Books" questions in the first round of Hongzhi's 16-year general examination is low, and I don't want to use uncommon questions to make it difficult for candidates.

But because everyone knows the exam questions like this, any accidents may happen in the exam room.

For example, the title of Huiyuan fell to Kang Hai, a martial artist from Shaanxi. Before that, who knew who this person was?

Unlike Yang Shen, who won the imperial examination in the seventh year of Zhengde and the number one scholar in the palace examination, he has not yet entered the examination room, and everyone knows that this person is sure to win the first place.Others can only compete for No.2.

After the three inscriptions in the "Four Books" were finished, Su Mu was planning to copy the inscriptions in the "Five Classics".

Mr. Wu said, "There's no need to write, just leave it like this!"

Su Mu: "What's the matter, old man, there are still many questions in the future?"

Wu Shiqi snorted: "The old man said that's it, didn't you hear me?"
