Chapter 65 Friends
"Am I sick? If I don't want to?"
"Then do you believe me?" Sun Tan asked at Sun Hao.
"What's going on like this?" Sun Hao said with a strange smile.
"Be serious, I'll ask you now, do you want to be a scholar?"
"Then you have to ask." Sun Hao looked around and found that there was no one around him, so he whispered: "Brother Dan, let's be honest, I always dreamed. If I really became a scholar, I would have achieved fame. Hehe, then, we will be the eldest son of the Sun family, and who dares not listen to what he said. But... I am afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Sun Dan was confused.
Sun Hao said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that once I get a scholar, my mother will cry. She is in poor health and is excited, but I'm afraid it will be bad."
Sun Dan didn't expect that Sun Hao was also a filial son, and he looked at him upright again in his heart: "Sun Hao, do you miss your mother so sadly or cry excitedly?"
"Of course I want to make her happy." Sun Hao grinned, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "Although my mother is the eldest wife, she is gentle and always popular in the mansion. My father is not good either. Everything depends on the second uncle's wink. Humph, when I make a future success, I will see who dares to mess with our big house. It's a pity..."
He sighed and hung his head on the table: "What a pity, I have no hope for this exam. When my mother cries, she will be annoyed to me. Help!"
Sun Dan stood up and “Go.”
“Where to go?”
"study."
After entering the study room and grinding out the ink, Sun Dan picked up his pen and wrote the title of this subject on paper, "Knowing where it is a day".
"What is this?" Sun Hao asked in confusion.
"Don't talk, watch." Sun Dan held the pen in one hand and the sleeve in the other hand, and the pen was like a dragon and a snake. She didn't care about the calligraphy font, as long as she could let Sun Hao understand it.
The article he copied is an eight-legged article of the same name in the collection of Lu Runxiang, the top scholar in the 13th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, every sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics had corresponding examples. Lu Runxiang was a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he was a teacher of Emperor Guangxu. His articles were extremely sophisticated. This article was written in a proper manner and could not find any faults. Of course, his things were not very outstanding in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, and they could be used to deal with the academic exams. If Sun Hao copied it, it would not be difficult to get a scholar.
The eight-legged essays in the Qing Dynasty focused on the format of parallelism and form, but they paid much attention to the content. Therefore, as soon as they wrote the article, they repeatedly discussed it around a central idea and wrote a lot of things around them, making people dizzy. Unlike the great Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty, an article with hundreds of words is concise and timeless and beautiful. For example, Wang Shouren, Xu Wei and others wrote the sample articles of the eight-legged essays into an exquisite work of art.
Therefore, Teacher Lu’s article was written in a foggy way, making people confused, but it was so scattered that more than two thousand words were written, making Sun Dan’s hand numb.
Sun Dan believes that there should be no problem with taking the exam for a scholar by himself. He can pass the test essay by himself. Therefore, it is not useful to him to know in advance that the test questions are of no use to him.
But this kind of foresight is very important to other candidates.
As long as Sun Dan is willing, anyone can pass.
Since he learned about this method, Sun Dan had thought about whether to sell the test questions to make a profit. But after thinking about it, he gave up this idea. Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime, and the great ceremony of the round-trip is related to the foundation of the country. Once the case occurs, it will be a military force at the very least, and the head will be beheaded. Thinking about the case of Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south list, because Lao Zhu suspected that the examiner missed the questions, he ordered it and hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
Sun Dan doesn't want to cause trouble.
However, Sun Hao is his friend, and his family is very good to him. Especially his mother, she really regards himself as the son and nephew of the Sun family.
This kind of family affection is the most precious thing in the world.
Sun Dan has a principle in his life and doing things: the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water.
With the ability of Sun Hao, he would never be able to get fame in his life. Sun Yue of the Sun family is a promising son of heaven and must be an official. Even Sun Gui, a second-father concubine, would be 80% sure of getting fame in the exam. Once these two people achieve something in the future, Sun Hao will be in a state of slaughter in the mansion and wait for death. If such a life continues, it will definitely be extremely dark.
Sun Hao is loyal to himself, so we can't watch him fall and stand by.
People do not live in a vacuum, they must have relatives and friends.
Sun Dan is confident that he will make a name for himself in the future, but once his status is high, he will not be able to find a true friend like Sun Hao who can be intimate.
This time I must help him with a bunch, so that I can be worthy of this sincere friendship.
Classmate Sun Hao, let me, Sun Tan, change your destiny!
Seeing Sun Dan's solemn look, Sun Hao asked him what he was doing at first, but Sun Dan stared at him with a sharp look. Somehow, Sun Hao felt cold in his heart, put away the laziness on his face, and looked at it intently.
During this period, Sun Hao's mother also came to see her several times. Seeing her son and Sun Dan were studying, she smiled with relief and quietly took the door out.
After writing an article, Sun Dan threw away the brush in her hand: "Sun Hao, I have memorized this article."
"What's the point of carrying it? It's so long?" Sun Hao was puzzled.
Sun Tan cursed: "If you ask me to carry something unscrupulous, you can recite it. If you ask me what you do, be careful to lose your head."
When Sun Hao heard that he was so serious, he was shocked and his face turned pale with a rare pale face. He stuttered: "This... is this... what is the test for today's subject,...?"
"I said nothing."
"But what Mr. Li asked you to copy it to me... No, no, how could Mr. Li know... Could it be that Mr. Li missed the question... Could it be that Mr. Yang missed the question?" Sun Hao's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were about to pop out: "That must be true. Brother Dan, you can talk to Mr. Yang yesterday, and Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang, the academic master, are ministers in the same palace. He must have missed the question to Mr. Yang."
Sun Dan didn't want to explain this issue, but it would be okay to use Yang Shen to scare Sun Dan.
He glanced at Sun Hao and deliberately said in a mysterious tone: "Don't ask so much, anyway, this matter is of great importance. If the incident happens, you and I will be caught and cut off your head, and even that person will not be able to escape. You can understand the powerful relationship here."
Sun Hao was trembling all over: "I know, I know, my god... I have to memorize this article... I want those who look down on me to see it. I, Sun Hao, are also a character."
Sun Dan was both angry and funny. Just as she was about to encourage him, Sun Hao grabbed his head in distress and sighed: "How can I recite such a long article? I'd better copy a copy and take it in."
"Shut up, you idiot!" Sun Dan laughed out loud by his anger: "You are not so looking for death. You have to search for your body when you enter the examination room. You have to change your clothes and your hair is spread out and you are touched. By the way, you have to break the valley and look at it."
"God, I have to check my butt, but I can't bring it in."
"Can't you recite it? From now on, you don't have to do anything, just recite this article. Four days is enough." Sun Dan sat on the chair: "I will urge you."
"Okay." Sun Dan gritted his teeth, took out an iron ruler from the drawer and stuffed it into Sun Dan's hand: "I'll fight, Brother Dan, please trouble you these days. If you see me being lazy and use the ruler to beat me, you will never complain if you are a brother."
"Go to yours, what will I do?" Sun Dan threw the ruler on the ground: "Think about your mother and think about what you will do in the future, and you won't be lazy."
