Today's big show in Chun'an County Court, although the investment cost is very low, the effect is quite good. It can be said to be a model of small cost and big box office.
This drama was also one of the plans that Fang Yingwu took the initiative to offer when he met Wang Xianzun last time. Without a real thing, why did Wang Xianzun promise to take care of Fang Yingwu in the county examination?
So Fang Yingwu immersed himself in studying at home and rarely worried about his debts. Here is his back-up plan. It was originally planned to be staged when Wang Dahu was in a desperate situation to press for debts, but he did not expect that due to some strange combination of circumstances, Miss Bai Mei ran out on her own.
As the background.
Wang Xianzun gained fame from it, which opened up an opportunity for him to become a famous official. In fact, the so-called fame is just word-of-mouth among scholars. This time he helped Fang Yingwu solve the problem, at least cherishing talents and paying attention to education.
I brought it with me.
Moreover, using this small hot-button incident to introduce a decree to alleviate the debt of poor students will definitely be praised by scholars in the county. Not to mention poor students, even scholars from well-off families have to say "the county respects benevolence and justice!"
You must know that although Chun'an County is a small county with a small population, it is a big county with a large imperial examination. The number of scholars is not small. It is not easy to win the praise of everyone.
The other protagonist, Fang Yingwu, naturally gained a lot. First of all, the imminent debt crisis was solved, and at least the Taoist examination can be postponed until next year. If he is selected as a county student scholar by then, and has fame and political status, then there will be more
Do you need to worry about being caught and made into a slave?
Secondly, he was inspected by the county magistrate in public in court and wrote a good poem, which gained him some fame and established an image in the minds of the people of the county as an outstanding student who was young but progressive and studied hard despite being poor. It can also be done.
He said that he was set up as a model by Wang Zhixian.
If the county magistrate wants to show his political performance of rewarding talents and educating people, he needs to have enough typical objects for him to operate and implement, and now Fang Yingwu is allowed to serve as this typical example.
This is a great thing for Brother Qiu. With this halo, many things will fall into place. For example, in the county examination, taking care of advanced models will not make people feel abrupt and stiff.
But don’t think it’s wrong to act in court. Politics comes from life and is higher than life. Just like life, acting is never lacking. This has nothing to do with justice. The only difference is whether the acting is good or not and whether the effect is good or not.
For example, when someone is lying lazily at home and doesn't want to move, a friend invites him to dinner, and he says, "I'm very busy and can't live without you." This is acting. Another example is when you meet someone and say, "I've seen you for a long time."
, in fact, I have never heard of it before. This is also an act.
Regardless of gossip, Bai Mei, who was full of revenge but unexpectedly "lost" the lawsuit, was in a daze and was helped out of the Yamen by her mother. The defendant Yingwu once again stepped forward to express his gratitude to Magistrate Wang, and was then called to the back of the lobby to quiet down.
Talk in the room.
Wang Zhixian praised Fang Yingwu and said: "Although you are young, your ambition is commendable. You have answered the question fifteen times and are determined to learn."
Hearing the magistrate's compliment, Fang Yingwu was a little confused. If someone else said this, it would be normal, and it would be understandable if they didn't mean it and were polite.
But Magistrate Wang and he are considered friends, and they know the situation today very well, so there is no need to praise each other. So saying this is a bit hypocritical and seems abnormal.
It's like a father praising his son and saying, "I have never seen a young man as hard-working and hard-working as you, which makes people feel weird."
Before Fang Yingwu could figure out the meaning, he heard Wang Zhixian Dundun teach: "There is no limit to the sea of learning, and the road is gradual. Even the sage climbed to the east mountain and became a small Lu, and climbed to the Taishan mountain and became a small world. You must always study hard and try your best.
Only by climbing high can you achieve something.”
This sentence is quite normal. It is to encourage others to continue to make progress. Fang Yingwu quickly expressed his determination: "I will follow the teachings of my parents."
Magistrate Wang waved his hand at the end, "Go down! Remember what I said today." Then he stood up and went to the lobby to continue the trial.
After coming out of the county government office, Fang Yingwu and Fang Fengshi met with the two teachers, Master Wang, who were brought in as witnesses. The two teachers were already used to the miracles Fang Yingwu had created, and they were not surprised at all.
After waiting for another long time, I saw a notice posted by the county government. The content was roughly the verdict on the debt case of the school boy Fang Yingwu. At that time, there were idle people around to look at it, and some who were literate read it aloud.
Fang Yingwu quickly took the pen and ink he had prepared early from Mr. Wang, wrote quickly on the wall next to the notice, and wrote the quatrain "Every branch and every leaf is related to love" that impressed Magistrate Wang earlier, and finally signed it.
"School children should weep in response to things and pay tribute to their parents for their kindness in rebuilding."
Amidst the cheers, Fang Yingwu and the other three people left the county government office and headed towards the west gate. The three people discussed eating dry food in the temple and then returning to Huaxi District.
On the road, he met two scholars passing by. Fang Yingwu overheard them discussing: "There is a county examination this year. I have a schoolboy here. How about you be his guarantor?"
County examination? When Fang Yingwu heard this word, he suddenly slapped his forehead and suddenly realized it!
County Magistrate Wang talked to him for two paragraphs without starting to a conclusion. In the words, he quoted some classic references and mentioned dropping the book bag. Finally, he told him to remember what he said today. What did this mean? This was definitely not dropping the book bag, but leaking the county exam questions to him!
In the first paragraph, there is "Five out of ten and one is determined to learn", which comes from the Analects of Confucius; in the second paragraph, there is "climbing Dongshan and Xiao Lu, climbing Mount Tai and Xiao Tianxia", which comes from Mencius.
Both sentences are from the Four Books, and the questions in the imperial examination are from the Four Books! Moreover, the content of the county examination happens to be two questions, and they are consistent in quantity!
No wonder the County Lord said meaningfully, remember what you said today! It can also be seen from this detail that after this test, the County Lord has more trust in himself and wants to truly be his own person.
Fang Yingwu, who had guessed the secret and obtained the big secret in advance, felt very itchy and wished he could immediately drag Master Wang to discuss how to solve these two problems in detail.
Although he can also write an article, Master Wang Shu has been immersed in eight-part essay for so many years, so he must be more experienced than him, so it is right to listen to Master Wang's analysis.
However, he also knew that he had to be as careful as possible in this matter. Not only might people talk outside, but there might also be ears through the wall.
So Fang Yingwu had to endure it until he finished eating the dry food, endured it until he left the county, endured it until he walked through the ten-mile mountain road, and endured it until he reached the vicinity of Zhonghuaxi Village.
It was already dusk now, and Fang Yingwu said to his uncle Fang Fengshi: "My nephew has some knowledge that he wants to consult with Mr. Wang, so I ask my uncle to go back by himself. My nephew will go with Mr. Wang to his place first."
Fang Fenshi went back to Huaxi without thinking much, and Fang Yingwu followed Master Wang to his home. Entering the courtyard, Fang Yingwu couldn't wait to ask: "The county exam is coming soon. I want to practice on it.
I just came up with two questions on the road, and I would like to ask sir for advice."
Although Master Wang thought it was strange, he and Fang Yingwu were both losing and prospering now, so he didn't think anything of it and just said: "Okay, let's talk about it after we enter the room."
Fang Yingwu asked impatiently: "One question is: I am fifteen years old and am determined to learn; the other question is: Confucius climbed the Dongshan Mountain and became a small Lu, climbed the Taishan Mountain and became a small world. Sir, how do you think the best answer is?"
Master Wang Shu spoke eloquently: "The previous question comes from the fourth chapter of The Analects of Confucius; the latter question comes from the chapter of Mengzi's Dedicated to the Government..."
"Then what?" Fang Yingwu asked again.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Master Wang's face, and he stretched out his hand to invite us: "You and I can talk after we come into the room. As the saying goes, sit down and discuss the Tao."
Fang Yingwu said impatiently: "It's getting dark and the light in the house is not very good. Just stay in the courtyard. It's human nature to talk at night under the bean shed." He didn't understand what possessed Mr. Wang.
, you must get into the house to talk.
At this moment, Fang Yingwu suddenly heard a woman's voice reciting from behind: "This so-called learning is the way of a university. If you are determined to do this, you will keep thinking about it and never get tired of it.
Hu said: The teachings of the sages also have many techniques, but they only need to make people not lose their original intention. Those who want to obtain this intention can only aspire to the learning shown by the sages and follow their order.
Foolishness says that a sage knows how to live a peaceful life, and there is no gradual accumulation, but his heart does not say that he has reached this point. During his daily life, there must be someone who only realizes that his progress is not as well understood by others. Therefore, he uses his own name because he is similar to it.
Scholars encourage themselves by adhering to what is right..."
Fang Yingwu knew who this was without looking back. But he still looked back and saw Sister Lan standing under the eaves on the other side with a smile, reciting the classics in a tacit understanding.
Fang Yingwu heard it clearly, and the passage she recited was the annotation of the chapter "I am fifteen and determined to learn" in Zhu Xi's Annotations.
Fang Yingwu and Sister Lan met each other's eyes, and after expressing affectionate glances at each other, they turned back and faced Master Wang Shu again. However, they saw Master Wang's face filled with excitement, and said, "This question does not require any elaboration, just
Just keep telling me what you are saying, I already have a case!"
Fang Yingwu was full of doubts. Could it be that Wang Shu's master was not good at what he learned? He could only memorize the Four Books by rote since he was a child, but he couldn't understand Zhu Xi's commentaries?
You must know that the Eight-Part Essay is said to be a test of the Four Books and Five Classics, but in fact it is a test of Zhu Xi's Annotations. Although the questions are from the Four Books, the answer must be based on the sage's voice, and can only be quoted and elaborated from Zhu Xi's Annotations. So after seeing the title,
You must first recall how this topic was annotated in Zhu Xi's Annotations before you can write the eight-part essay.
The more Fang Yingwu thought about it, the more he felt that his suspicion was very possible. Just now, Master Wang tried his best to drag him into the room to talk, most likely because he wanted to read "Zhu Xi's Collection of Annotations"?
No wonder he got stuck if he didn't enter the house. But when Sister Lan recited the relevant passages from Zhu Zi's Annotations, he suddenly realized that he had the answer!
Therefore, he was an old boy all his life. He could not pass the scholar examination for decades and could only make a living by teaching a few schoolchildren in a mountain village. Therefore, when he borrowed books, he refused to lend them Zhu Xi's Annotations. It turned out that he also left the school.
I can’t find this teaching reference!
After consciously guessing the truth, Fang Yingwu was speechless. Is this Master Wang good at it? Wouldn't he lead himself into a ditch by studying articles with him?
Teacher Wang didn't notice Fang Yingwu's thoughts and expressions, and continued to talk eloquently, "The following sentence is: The learning of the sage Xitian advances with the times.
The title is: Fu's learning and Heaven are one, and learning is perfect, but it is gradual. Therefore, it advances with the times, even if it is a sage, let alone a scholar!
Then he started talking about it as follows: At the beginning of life, everything is natural. If you grow up and tend to materialistic desires, you will lose your nature. Therefore, when I grow up as a child, I will use my will to learn with all my strength, striving to be pure in nature.
And then..."
Breaking the topic, continuing the topic, and starting the speech are the beginning and the most important part of the eight-legged essay. Many examiners tend to judge the grade after reading the test paper.
When Fang Yingwu heard what Master Wang Shu said, he was unexpectedly in disbelief. He had the memory of two people in two lives, so he still had some foundation, and he could understand that the eight-legged essay compiled by Master Wang Shu seemed to be quite good, at least the level was comparable to that of Master Wang.
I am much taller.
This made him completely confused. Is Mr. Wang good at hiding things, or is he not good at making people laugh? In the midst of random thoughts, after finishing the first question, Master Wang remained silent again.
In the midst of doubts, Sister Lan, who was standing behind Fang Yingwu, suddenly opened her lips in a considerate manner, and recited the second topic of Zhu Zi's Annotations in a clear and melodious voice, which was the chapter "Climbing the East Mountain and Xiaolu"
: "This chapter says that the way of the saint is great and has its roots. Those who learn it must gradually use it to achieve it..."
Keenly catching Mr. Wang's attitude of listening attentively, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized something, and sighed inwardly, dumbfounded, I bet Mr. Wang is just a master of open-book exams——
He is probably only good at fabricating, not memorizing. If Mr. Wang is asked to read and write with reference materials, he will probably be able to write a splendid article; but if there is no reference book and it is a real closed-book examination, then he will get stuck.
Master Wang Shu was just an old rural boy with no connections or background. Would he be allowed to bring cheat sheets to various serious examinations? Obviously not, so he never passed the examination as a scholar in his life.
