Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 59

What did the old man want from him?I won't be twitching again, let me help myself?

He looked at the greeting card, the handwriting was really beautiful.

Although he used traditional Chinese characters, he was able to read roughly the same as he was a good student of classical Chinese when he was in school.

Anyway, I just let him go over to drink tea politely, and I didn't say thank you anyway.

You can also write greetings, explaining that this person should be fine, that is, hypoglycemia, and it will be fine if you pay more attention to it.

Out of curiosity, Qin Shao had lunch and went to Master Zhu's courtyard with a greeting card.

This yard is slightly smaller than my own, but very delicate.

I wish the old man didn't go out very often, and only opened a small door on the side for people to enter.

When Qin Shao entered, Mr. Zhu was already sitting at the stone table in the yard, holding a book in his hand.

Next to it are pots of flowers and plants, which set off the whole yard full of vitality.

There were three chairs beside the stone table, and on the table were a pot of tea, a stack of fried green beans, and a plate of fried small fish.

"Young Master Qin, please sit down!"

When Guan Lu heard Qin Shao's knock on the door, he immediately led him over.

Qin Shao hadn't looked at this old man carefully before, but this time he looked carefully and found that this old man has a big nose, small eyes, and a wide face. His appearance is really ordinary, even a little ugly.

But his eyes are clear, his whole body exudes a bookish air, and he is matched with a blue robe, which is very European, Wei and Jin style.

"Hi Gong Gong!"

After Qin Shao stepped forward to say hello, he sat down without restraint.

Qin Shao learned from a young boy that this old man's name is Zhu Yunming, and he seems to have some fame. As for what kind of fame, this boy said that his master would not let him say it.

They are from Suzhou, because Zhu Yunming likes to travel, when he came to the land of Huguang, he happened to encounter the riot of thieves and robbers, which lasted for several years.

For safety's sake, he pawned a small courtyard here in Anlu to live temporarily.

Prepare to travel north when everything is in order.

In any era, to be able to have the capital to travel around, and to be able to pawn a small courtyard to live in during times of war, is by no means an ordinary family.

This Zhu Gong seems to have a good family background!

People in Daming who can travel leisurely are not ordinary people.

For example, Xu Xiake, a traveler who became famous later on through tourism and wrote the famous travel book "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes", spent most of his life traveling in mountains and rivers.

Don't think that Xu Xiake is a poor traveler. Xu Xiake can travel everywhere, except because Xu Xiake has strong perseverance.

The most important thing is that Xu Xiake's grandfather was once Jiang Yin's head, and he has strong financial support.

What is the origin of this Zhu Gong?

"I heard that you are going to take the scientific examination?"

Zhu Yunming asked, interrupting Qin Shao's thoughts.

Qin Shao was a little surprised. He had just prepared and asked some questions. How did the old man know?
I was quite friendly to the old man before, and he would ignore his answers. Now that I heard that I was going to take the scientific examination, why did I become enthusiastic?
Look at this, Mr. Zhu is also a scholar. Could it be that I heard that I will also be a scholar in the future, and I feel that I am the same kind of person. This is a relationship.

"Yes, the students are going to take the next township exam. I heard that the exam was postponed a few times because of the thieves, and it will be back to normal next year."

Qin Shao laughed.

"What time are you today?"

"The imaginary age is 19! It's 18"

"At such an old age, I have not yet obtained the qualification of being a child. How can I say that I am a scholar?"

Zhu Yunming's words were really harsh.

It directly made Qin Shao choke speechlessly.

This guy, this guy has no choice but to associate with people, probably no one wants to associate with him.

"It was difficult at home before. I just learned some characters from the old scholar of the family. I never...never took the exam. Now that the conditions are a little better, I want to try it, but I regret it."

Qin Shao could only speak euphemistically.

He only knew that his aunt said that he had studied, but he really didn't know if he had taken the exam.

"Then what books did you read?"

""Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "The Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", by the way, I have also read some "Zuo Zhuan"!"

Qin Shao can only think about it based on his own memories.

When he went to school in his previous life, he usually learned some of the excerpted texts.

Zhu Yunming asked him to recite some content to listen to.

He honestly recited some defective fragments:
At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away;
If three people walk together, there must be my teacher!

Therefore, the sky will send a great mission to human beings... Zeng Yi can't do it!

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good!
"Bastard! What did you learn!"

Qin Shao is proud that he has a good memory and can still remember a lot of content.

Zhu Yunming's shout made him jump.

"gentlemen……"

Qin Shao subconsciously shouted, this guy is just like a teacher who is testing himself.

"You are 19 years old, and you have learned such a simple knowledge until now. It's also opportunistic..."

Zhu Yunming reprimanded him with a gun and a stick, and came over his head and face.

Zhu Yunming has been studying for many years, but he still has a sour smell in his bones.

A neighbor came next door and bought a big house. He heard from Guan Lu that he would go to the yamen to work as a yamen servant soon.

Zhu Yunming felt displeased.

Although government servants are errands, most of the government servants are of two kinds. One is conscripted to serve, such as Wang Yin's;

Zhu Yunming felt that Qin Shao had just bought a house when he first arrived, which meant he was rich, and then entered the yamen as a yamen servant, which is definitely not a kind person.

Thinking of him being a scholar who was once a clear and bright moon, he was very unhappy to be a neighbor with such a person.

If it is not a pawned house, and the situation is not completely stabilized now, he really wants to abandon the house and continue to travel.

Since he couldn't, he told the boy to avoid dealing with this family as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, when he was sick, that kid came to help.

Guan Lu kept saying that the family was kind, except for one who was fair-skinned and not talkative, the other three were gentle and polite.

Later, I heard that Qin Shao, who was in charge of the family, was just a temporary Minzhuang who helped protect the city. Now he has resigned from his job as a Minzhuang and is still participating in the scientific examination.

Since he can choose to study and take scientific examinations, he must not be a vulgar person.

After some hesitation, Guan Lu asked Qin Shao to come over.

Qin Shao sat on the small stool and listened to Zhu Yunming's persecution for a long time, and finally understood what books he needed to learn to be admitted as a scholar.

Enlightenment books: "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Children's Learning Qionglin", which are usually enlightened for children from rich families at the age of four or five.

Then read "Book of Filial Piety", "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean";
Next, study "The Analects" and "Mencius";
After learning the Four Books, he began to study the Five Classics: "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", and "Zuo Zhuan".

After learning these books, they usually finish learning these. When they are about 15 or 16 years old, they can try to be a scholar.

Qin Shao was a little stunned. He had to memorize these 13 books thoroughly to be able to pass the exam.

It's just possible, not sure.

It is said that studying in ancient times was difficult, but Qin Shao only now knows that it is really difficult!

"Your half-baked level, don't say that you will take the exam in February next year, just study hard for two more years, and it will be good to be able to increase your growth rate!"

Zhu Yunming criticized sharply again.

Qin Shao is like a balloon that has been punctured, and he wants to retreat.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will come to read and endorse the book every day!"

"what?"

Before Qin Shao's retreat sounded, Zhu Yunming's next words made him scream.
