The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 187 A Different Kind of Confucian Teachings
In the main room, Kong Jiaoyu was sitting on an elm south official hat chair with his eyes closed.

Xie Shen didn't know if the old man was taking a nap, so he didn't dare to make too much noise, and just waited quietly with his hands bound.

Not long after, Kong Jiaoyu opened his eyes and said, "Since you are here, what are you doing standing there?"

Xu Shi caught a glimpse of the bamboo box in Xie Shen's hand, and Kong Jiaoyu asked one more question: "What is that in your hand?"

Xie Shen hurriedly walked up to Kong Jiaoyu and said, "The student has met his teacher. This is Yuyao's specialty waterfall tea. The student brought it to the teacher for a taste."

When Confucius heard that the bamboo box contained tea, he hummed and said, "I also drink this Yuyao Waterfall Tea often, but the price has skyrocketed recently, and I can hardly afford it with my salary."

Xie Shen secretly slandered in his heart, thinking that you, an old man, is also a county teacher, so you can't afford to buy tea.

Furthermore, the price of Yuyao Xianming tea is a notch lower than that of Qiantang Longjing. Xie Shen has seen all kinds of Longjing treasures in the study of Confucianism.
"The wind sweeps away the pine eaves, and the light shade is just like picking tea. I invite you to go straight to the top of the lonely peak, and go out of the city to fight for the rain.

Two things are divided into stalks and leaves, and one lamp is reunited with children,

It's late at night after frying the greens, and I'm still trying Xinfen Waterfall Spring. "

Confucian teaching did not know when it became elegant, and even recited poems.

When Xie Shen was about to admire, he felt something was wrong.

Isn't this the poem in praise of Yuyao waterfall tea that he recited at the West Lake Gathering that day?

He never mentioned it to Confucius, so who said it?
Is it Xie Pi or Wang Shouwen?

Xie Shen, who was "trapped" again, just felt very depressed.

Poetry is good, but it also depends on where it is used.

Now Confucius told him that the old man suddenly recited this poem, what does it mean?
But Confucius said while stroking his beard, "I heard that this poem has something to do with the soaring price of Yuyao's immortal tea. Since this poem was spread among scholars in Zhejiang Province, the price of Yuyao's immortal tea has increased several times in a row. .”

After a short pause, Kong Jiaoyu continued: "Is this poem written by you?"

Xie Shen felt helpless, what else could he do now that this was the case?

"Reporting to my mentor, this is indeed a student's clumsy work, which made my mentor laugh."

Kong Jiaoyu smiled noncommittally, and signaled Xie Shen to put the tea leaves on the desk.

"Actually, I didn't come here for anything else. I hope you can put more thought into your studies. The examination will be held in August this year. You are the leader of the Yuyao students, so you must set an example."

After speaking, Confucius took out a stack of thick papers, clicked on it and said: "These are the articles written by the old man on a daily basis, just take them and read them."

Xie Shen was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Although it is said that the nominal host of the scientific examination is the Grand Master, sometimes the Grand Master will also ask the teaching instructions to provide some opinions.

As for grading papers, it is naturally a matter for the county school.

There are so many papers in the scientific examination that it is impossible for the master to read them one by one.

In this way, doesn't it mean that Confucius is the most critical person in the scientific examination?
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.Articles are very emotional.

The so-called "everything is in the eyes of everyone", and if you can't write an article that suits the taste of the marking officer, no matter how talented you are, it's useless.

Kong Jiaoyu gave Xie Shen the article he had written, which was an obvious hint—you don’t want to dig into other things, just write according to the old man’s style!

In other words, Kong Jiaoyu was still a little worried about Xie Shen's writing skills.

This can't be blamed on Xie Shen, although he was also a high-achieving professional counterpart in his previous life, after all, the people who competed with him on the same stage were all born and bred in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with poetry, Xie Shen can still straighten his waist and shout that I didn't embarrass the time traveler, but when compared with Shiwen, Xie Shen has to mutter in his heart.

It's okay if you meet the part he is familiar with, but it's really difficult to deal with the unfamiliar part.

He has the basic eight-legged essay level, but it is obviously not enough to cope with scientific examinations, rural examinations, and general examinations.

It was precisely because of this that Kong Jiaoyu saw this, so he gave Xie Shen his article, and told him to decide on a style as soon as possible.

Once the style is decided, it is to add flesh. This Confucian instruction cannot help Xie Shen, and Xie Shen can only rely on Xie Shen to make up for it.

At least as far as the current scientific examination is concerned, imitating the writing style of Confucian teachings is the most beneficial.

Xie Shen hastily cupped his hands at Kong Jiaoyu and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Kong Jiaoyu waved his hand and said: "You don't want to thank me, I just think of your outstanding literary talent, and don't want to leave pearls in the dust."

The fierce competition in the rural examination is difficult for those who have not passed the examination to understand.

But Kong Jiaoyu is someone who has experienced it, he is very clear about Xie Shen's strengths and weaknesses, that's why he said this.

Faced with the guidance of his mentor, Xie Shen naturally had to keep it in mind

"Students must study the master's masterpieces carefully and strive for Yuyao!"

Kong Jiaoyu nodded in satisfaction.

Young people should look like young people. If everyone is young and mature, what's the point of being obedient.

The so-called youthful arrogance is a kind of aggressive performance.

If you don't even dare to be crazy, your basic future will be worrying.

But you have to have a degree of madness. There are not many young people like Xie Shen who know how to advance and retreat.

"Since you are free today, you can also take a look at this post copied by the old man."

Xie Shen knew that the literati in the Ming Dynasty liked to copy posters.

But he didn't expect that Kong Jiaoyu also had this hobby.

As Kong Jiaoyu walked around the screen and came to another desk, the young man was dumbfounded.I saw that the walls were covered with calligraphy posts, and occasionally there were quite a few landscape paintings.

It is said that Confucian teachings focused on mountains and rivers and had no intention of official career, which seems to be true.

Wang Youjun's post on fast snow and sunshine is naturally the object of countless literati's scrambling to copy, and it seems that Confucius' teachings are also on the list.

Xie Shen looked at the unfolded short scroll and couldn't help sighing secretly.

The essence of fast snow and clear weather lies in the Tibetan front.The beginning and end of writing have been carefully handled, and it can be said that they do not show their sharpness.

Confucian teachings obviously captured the essence of it, and the post published not only looks like but also looks like Wang Youjun's real work.

"The mentor writes with spirit, and the students admire him!"

Calligraphy is really not something that ordinary people can practice.

Xie Shen's teeny-headed lowercase writing is not bad, but compared with Kong Jiaoyu, it seems to be nothing.

Fortunately, the pursuit of writing articles in the imperial examination is clear handwriting, and everything else is irrelevant.

In addition, Xie Shen still has a good thin gold body, even if he mixes into the circle of Ci officials in the future, it is barely enough.After all, someone will not come to ask for ink treasures every now and then.

But this did not prevent Xie Shen from admiring Confucius' teachings.Being able to control the Feibai body so well, it is really not something ordinary people can do.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen suddenly had an idea, but he didn't know whether he should tell Confucius or not.
