A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

    In the early morning, Wu Junru washed and changed under the service of Wei Wei.

    "I heard that the old lady hired a scholar who had passed the examination for Xiao Jinghu to be his master, and Xiao Jingduo also went with him? Didn't Lord Hou arrange a course for him, why didn't you go to Lord Hou?"

    "The old slave doesn't know either. I heard from the maid at the old lady's place. It seems that the old lady thinks that Erlang-Jun can't calm down, so he asked Dalang-Jun to take care of him in the study. Maybe it was invited by Hou Ye. The Master hasn't come yet, so Dalang Jun will go to study with his younger brother first." Wei Wei didn't take it to heart, and guessed casually.

    "No, this matter is different." Wu Junru smelled a little unusual, "Master Hou is not such a gentle person, just a master, it took so long. Could it be that their father and son Aren't they what I thought they were?"

      Since Xiao Ying didn't intend to pass the title to Xiao Jingduo, Wu Junru can completely push the boat, so why should she come forward to be this wicked person.

      , where did the letter last time go? Go get it back!"

    "Hey." Wei Wei responded in a panic, but before she could walk out the door, a dowry maid ran in happily: "Madam, the Wu family has a letter!"

    "What?" Wu Junru stood up abruptly, waved away the maid who was waving her hair, quickly opened the letter, and read it at a glance.

    When she read the letter, Wu Junru's face became more and more ugly: "Oh, my father has already mentioned this to Hou Ye, threatening him not to let Xiao Jingduo be the eldest son no matter what..."

    At the same time, Qing Zeyuan was also full of vigor in the morning.

      When you are growing up, how can you work so hard. You are not in a hurry to read, so don’t push yourself too hard…”

    Xiao Jingduo couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Qiu Ju, your mother was calling you just now."

    "Ah?" Qiu Ju was stunned, "Really, why didn't I hear it?"

    "Indeed, you can't hear it, go out and have a look."

    "Oh, good." Qiu Ju turned around and went to Zhao Xiulan's house to find out.

    Xiao Jingduo's ears were finally clean, he quickly packed up the scrolls and went out quietly.

    Xiao Jingduo was forced to memorize prescriptions by Zhao Langzhong since he was a child, and he could memorize boring prescriptions without a word. Thousand-character texts are much more interesting in comparison. Xiao Jingduo simply dipped his finger in water and wrote it down on the desk.

    After an unknown amount of time, a sigh came from behind him: "You can't be so sloppy in writing."

    Xiao Jingduo was shocked and got up immediately. "Master."

    Chu Shuxin still looked indifferent and cold, but this time, he asked Xiao Jingduo to pick up the pen. "Write two words on the paper for me to see."

    Xiao Jingduo didn't actually learn Chinese characters. He just practiced in private last night, but it was absolutely impossible to put it on the table. But since the Master had spoken, Xiao Jingduo had no choice but to pick up the pen and write the words "heaven" and "earth" on the paper.

    Chu Shuxin's face was indescribable, and he sighed: "I don't know why you are so eager to read and write, but you have to remember that it is too late, you didn't lay a good foundation at the beginning, and you are the one who suffers in the end. "

      He lowered his head and thanked sincerely, "Master Xie for the point."

    Chu Shuxin waved his hand, seemingly impatient with these polite words. He took Xiao Jingduo's pen and wrote two large and upright characters next to Xiao Jingduo's reptile-like ink.

    Heaven and Earth.

    "From the height of the building, I know that you are a person with great ambitions. I hope that when you achieve your goals in the future, don't forget the first big character you wrote. Look up to the sky and look down. Don't be ashamed of the ground, I hope you can do it yourself."

    Xiao Jingduo's face was completely serious: "Students, remember."

    Seeing Xiao Jingduo's positive attitude, Chu Shuxin's expression also eased, he turned his pen and wrote a series of book titles on the paper. "These red sketchbooks are pretty good, and the brushwork is correct. They are most suitable for beginners. If you have time, go to the Dongxi Market and buy them."

      Chu Shuxin is very knowledgeable and can write very well in one hand. He can get Chu Shuxin's push book, which is much better than his own exploration.

    Chu Shuxin asked a few more questions, and found that Xiao Jingduo answered fluently, obviously he spent more time after returning. Although Chu Shuxin's face was not obvious, he was very satisfied. He was reluctant to teach these noble children at first, but once he became a teacher, he would inevitably fall into the clichés. Seeing his students' diligence and hard work, Chu Shuxin couldn't hide his happiness.

    In a good mood, Chu Shuxin instructed Xiao Jingduo to be more attentive. The two asked and answered questions for a long time, until Xiao Jinghu came, and then stopped and started today's lesson.

    Xiao Jingduo was recognized by Chu Shuxin and was very excited. Even if he is young and mature, but to put it bluntly, he is still a child. His grandmother is ruthless, his father is cruel, and his new stepmother is also a stubborn one. Everyone around him is mercenary. After staying in such an environment for a long time, even Xiao Jingduo will inevitably doubt himself. , The relatives treat him harshly, maybe it is his own reason? But today being praised by the master, this is extremely precious to Xiao Jingduo who has been in desperate situation for a long time, and it also makes him firm to himself.

    It's not that he has a problem, it's that his luck is really bad, and there are no good people around.

    However, Xiao Jingduo's good mood did not last long when he was interrupted by an uninvited guest.

    When she was out of school, Xiao Jingduo was planning to get close to Master Chu, no, I asked Master for life principles, and saw an adjutant coming from the corner with a very clear goal, Xiao Jingduo and Chu Shuxin.

    "Master Chu, Dalang Jun." Xiang An greeted the two of them.

    Chu Shuxin also returned the salute: "Adjutant Xiang. Why did you think of the study today? But what instructions does Master Hou have?"

    "Oh?" Chu Shuxin glanced at Xiao Jingduo and said, "Dalang is smart and eager to learn, obviously it is Lord Hou who has taught me well. Lord Hou also specially sent someone to inquire about Langjun's schoolwork. I'm bothered."

    Xiang An glanced at Xiao Jingduo, and continued: "Dalang Jun was raised in his hometown since he was a child, and Lord Hou is busy with wars, so it is difficult to take care of him. Now that he has finally settled down, Lord Hou also wants to compensate Dalang Junyi. Second, what our Lord Marquis means, no matter what descendants are from, as long as they are children of the Xiao family, we must nurture them carefully and teach them to grow into men who stand up to the sky. I rely on you a lot, and my subordinates would like to thank the Hou Ye first.”

    Chu Shuxin gave Xiao Jingduo a strange look, and bowed in return: "Adjutant is polite."

    At this time, Xiao Jingduo's face was already very ugly. Don't look at Xiang An's nice words, but there are hidden swords inside and outside the words. What is meant by "no matter where you are from, you must be nurtured with care", which clearly implies that Xiao Jingduo is not a direct descendant, and his identity is not on the stage, so he needs the master to teach him. Xiao Jingduo clenched his fingers tightly, and could vaguely see the white knuckles, what did Xiao Ying mean? Give him a slap in the face, or say it's just a signal, a signal that Xiao Ying and the Wu family have collapsed. The Wu family did not agree to record Xiao Jingduo in the Wu family's name. Xiao Ying did not want to fall out with the Wu family, so he planned to admit to outsiders that Xiao Jingduo was just a concubine who stayed in his hometown, and would not hinder the way of the Wu family's direct son in the future?

    In the past, Xiao Jingduo's identity was only vaguely hung. No one wanted to discuss whether he was a descendant or a concubine. Now, are Xiao Ying and the old lady planning to officially demote him to a concubine?

      Xiao Jingduo's expression didn't change, but he was already thinking fast in his mind, thinking about how he could justify his name.

    Xiao Jingduo was absorbed in his own thoughts and did not speak for a long time. Chu Shuxin glanced at this little man whom he admired, and knew it in his heart. No wonder he was the eldest son who had to study so hard, and he also inquired about the matter of the imperial examination. It turned out that he was only a concubine.

    Chu Shuxin sighed, he was an outsider and couldn't say much. After thinking about this festival, Chu Shuxin bowed his hands and said goodbye to Xiang An.

    When Chu Shuxin left, Xiang An sighed at Xiao Jingduo: "Da Langjun, why do you think you do this?"

    Xiao Jingduo didn't want to pay attention to this person, and walked forward quickly.

    Xiang An continued to talk behind him: "Why do you have to fight against Lord Hou? Lord Hou has arranged for you a master and a martial arts master, instead of going, come to find such a man Poor scholar, I really can't figure out what you are doing. This is an opportunity that others can't ask for, it's all in front of you, why don't you want it?"

    "You don't have to worry about my affairs." Xiao Jingduo replied coldly.

    "Hey, Dalangjun!" Xiang An shouted from behind, but Xiao Jingduo walked away without looking back, Xiang An made fun of himself and touched his nose angrily, "I really can't figure it out. What are these noble children thinking, the elders don’t want to arrange official positions? The Marquis is a second-rank nobility. According to the rules, the descendants can enter the left and right guards. This kind of good thing, he doesn’t rush to please the Marquis. Lu, in a whimsical way, I want to rely on reading to pass the imperial examination! I can't take the ready-made Qingyun road, and I have to go through a difficult road..." Speaking of which, Xiang An sighed with hatred, "I am a poor man. I don't understand the minds of your sons and daughters."

    "Master Chu!" Xiao Jingduo counted Chu Shuxin's steps and took a shortcut to catch up with the master. Standing in front of Chu Shuxin, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

    Chu Shuxin saw through Xiao Jingduo's thoughts, and smiled lightly: "Just be as usual in front of me, I'm not someone who looks at people by identity."

    "I know." Xiao Jingduo felt sarcastic, he was indeed the eldest son of a legitimate son, but the Master wouldn't believe it, Xiao Jingduo simply didn't bother to explain, he asked the key question he wanted to know most today : "Master, to tell you the truth, I want to participate in the imperial examinations in the future. Do you have any classics to recommend?"

    Chu Shuxin's smiling face sank all of a sudden: "What did I tell you in the morning, you forgot so quickly? Haste is not enough, you are fundamentally incapable of Prison, you haven't even learned the basic thousand-character script, so you want to read the imperial examination classics? You don't need to say this anymore, I won't tell you the content of the examination."

    After saying that, Chu Shuxin rolled his sleeves and left. Xiao Jingduo knew that what Chu Shuxin said was for his own good, and no matter how eager he was to change the status quo, he had to take it step by step. He let out a long sigh, that's all, let's lay the foundation honestly first.

    But compared to the imperial examination, the biggest problem facing Xiao Jingduo now is not the scientific examination, but his own identity crisis.

    He has to find a way to keep his heir apparent.
