Xu Qian was now in a lively mood. When the news came out that some noble man had come to make friends with him and he was also a bachelor's disciple, the clansmen immediately saw hope and suddenly got close to each other.
He temporarily stayed at Xu Shen's house, and there were guests coming to his door all day long. Xu Han, who had always claimed to beat him, actually came in the middle of the night, frightening Xu Qian to death. As the saying goes, the night is dark and the wind comes high to seek revenge.
He raised the knife and dropped it, but who knew that this guy came in a hurry with a gift to say thank you.
Xu Han's unmarried wife, who originally died because he lost his job, now heard the news and saw that the Xu family was suddenly in full swing, and she had the intention to continue the matchmaking. She was lost and found, which made Xu Han extremely happy.
Mouth.
It's just that there is a huge crowd, but it makes Xu Qian sigh. The college examination is about to come, and he doesn't know what the purpose of the new study is. Now that he is pestered by these mundane things every day, how can he review and study?
Finally, he went to see his old uncle and bid farewell to him. Then he met the old man Xu Chang and got Xu Chang's approval. Early the next morning, Xu Shen hired a car and took Xu Qian and Deng Jian directly.
Zhao Mengting and the others returned to Qiantang.
As for Xuchang, he was afraid that it would take some time before he could go back. He just said that he had something to deal with, but he didn't know what the specific matter was.
After Xu Qian and the others were sent to Qiantang, Xu Shen wanted to say goodbye and gave some good words of encouragement. Xu Shen valued this cheap nephew even more.
"Wouldn't it be better for uncle to take a rest at home and start the trip again tomorrow? If we go back now, we will only arrive in the middle of the night. Although it is peaceful and there are no bandits along the way, it is always better to be careful."
However, Xu Shen repeatedly declined and said: "There are still many things to deal with at home, so I'm afraid I can't disturb you anymore. Yes, my uncle has something I would like to ask you for advice."
Xu Qian thought to himself, okay, I don't need to ask for advice now. If my father talks to me in this tone, it will really burn the candle.
"What does uncle want to ask?"
Xu Shen frowned and said: "You also know that although Xu Chen is young, he has a wild temper. I don't want him to be as successful as you. I just want him to be a child. It sounds better to say it. But
After all, I am also a rough man, but I don’t know how to teach him. My nephew is someone who has been through this, can he..."
Xu Qian suddenly realized that he was asking for advice from his son. Thinking of Xu Chen's triumphant appearance, he pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "A filial son will emerge from under the stick, and a hero will emerge from under the slap. It's nothing more than beating, horizontally or vertically."
It can be beaten or hung. There must be a small dozen a day, and it must be hung from the rafters on the third day. In short, the essence of this is typing. If you are not ruthless, you cannot teach a good son." Xu Qian wanted to prove himself.
The truth of the truth made him take a long breath and said as if he was reminiscing about the past: "I was the one who beat him. If my father hadn't beaten me every day, I would be worse than Deng Jian now."
He said, while glancing around, fearing that Deng Jian would hear him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was around.
Xu Shen suddenly realized it, and then smiled bitterly: "But my uncle has beaten him a lot, but it always doesn't work, so what should I do?"
Xu Qian said seriously: "This is because the beatings were not enough and hard enough."
After Xu Shen heard this, Tang Xuanzang, who thought he had obtained the true scripture from the West, immediately believed it and said harshly: "After listening to your reasoning, I finally woke up and changed my past mistakes from now on. I can no longer condone him."
Let’s go!” After saying goodbye, he went out, got in the car, and left.
Since returning home, Xu Qian has not gone out. It's not that he doesn't want to ask about Na Tixue, but he has the patience to review his lessons. After all, although the ranking is important, the foundation is the foundation. Even if Na Tixue is difficult for him, as long as
If he has done well in his articles, he has nothing to say about his studies. Besides, even if he wants to inquire, he should go to ask the master for advice. Just visiting him would be a bit uninteresting, so Xu Qian plans to write a few articles and then ask the master for advice.
Then try out his tone again.
So he locked himself in his room every day. In addition to reading some transcribed eight-legged articles that Deng Jian bought for him, he took the essence and discarded the dross. Then he came up with his own topics, wrote several articles, and revised them several times.
After that, seven or eight days had passed and it was almost time before I went to visit Xie's Mansion.
When I arrived at the gate of Xie's Mansion, I told the concierge and handed over my name card. The name card said: Student Xu Qian pays homage to Mr. Enfu.
A name card is a person's business card, which also contains a lot of information. For example, Xu Qian's name card is different from others. Many people who visit Xie Qian will call themselves students, but those who can call Xie Qian Mr. Enfu, Putian
I'm afraid Xu Qian is the only one. This is the benefit of being someone's true disciple.
After a while, the concierge came back and said to Xu Qian: "The master is waiting in the study. Please come with me."
Entering the maze-like Xie Mansion Courtyard, the concierge led me to a garden. In the center of the garden is a study room next to a pond. The study room looks simple, but half of it is supported by wooden piles and is connected to the pond. At this time
The lotus flowers were in full bloom in the pond, the water was sparkling, and there was a fragrance in the air, which made Xu Qian feel like he was in a fairyland.
Entering the study, several windows in the study are open. Outside the windows are the sparkling pool water and the faint fragrance. The sun shines in, making the study extremely bright. The warm light makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Xie Qian sat behind the desk and raised his eyes to look at Xu Qian. Xu Qian quickly said: "The student has met his teacher."
Xie Qian's eyes fell on a few articles held in Xu Qian's hand, and without greeting Xu Qian, he said: "Send it up."
Xu Qian felt in his heart that this master has a strange temper. He is your disciple after all, but you don't care about him and just start teaching. This is too unkind.
After submitting the article, Xie Qian squinted and read it word by word. The sound of needle drops could be heard in the study, while Xu Qian waited boredly.
It has to be said that Xie Qian read it very seriously, so much so that it took him half an hour to finish reading these articles. He raised his eyes in a daze, with a stern look, and shouted: "They are all the same group.
Nonsense, nonsense."
Xu Qian was originally complacent, thinking that although his article was not earth-shattering, it was of excellent quality. Who knew that it would receive this evaluation? He was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Xie Qian waved his hand and said, "Sit in."
Xu Qian moved his seat unconvinced and heard Xie Qian pointing to the first article and saying: "Everything in your article that breaks the topic is Lingyin's character. What is Lingyin? It's nothing more than creating something new. Jian
Being eccentric can certainly make people shine, but when it comes to the real exam, it will be wrong. If you can satisfy the examiner, that's fine, but what if you can't?"
Seeing that Xu Qian was slightly unconvinced, he pointed to the couplet in the article and said: "There is also this sentence, 'Watch the king without exerting force, even if the holy king cannot'. Although this is a good move, have you ever thought about it?
However, no matter how good your words and sentences are, if they can't echo the next couplet, what's the use? Articles and articles can't be accomplished by just piling up words. The most important thing is to connect the words. Break the topic first, and then continue the topic. This step
Step by step, we must carry it out from beginning to end, step by step. If I were to take the next sentence, it should be, 'The special sage king regards the world as one room, and the people in the world as one person...'
Xu Qian thought about it for a while and couldn't help but said: "The teacher's words, the student understands that the article does not necessarily have gorgeous words, but whether it can arouse interest?"
Xie Qian nodded and sighed: "Taizu set up the eight-part essay to select talents. Over the years, in order to gain fame, scholars have been thinking about how to pile up words and phrases to make them refreshing. In fact, they are totally wrong.
.Articles are for people to read. Examiners read articles just like reading. If the book is too boring, the interest in reading it will be lost. Even if the words are gorgeous, what is the use? Therefore, if you want to refresh the examiner, the only way is to read it in a
The words are linked up and up to carry out the next sentence, and each word echoes the next word, making the examiner unable to stop, and only then can he hope to win the title of the case."
Xu Qian nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's just that it's a little too difficult."
Xie Qian said with a straight face: "Of course it is difficult. Eight-legged essay, eight-legged essay, each sentence must be neatly aligned, and every sentence has limitations, so it is easy to pile up words. But if you want to tell a big truth, you have to make the next sentence.
It takes a lot of hard work. I accept you into my Xie family. Naturally, I can't let you be looked down upon. But you don't have to worry. Your foundation is enough, but you still have a few skills. When the college exam is over, I will teach you this again.
road."
Xu Qian took the opportunity and said: "Speaking of the college examination, the students heard that there was a sudden change of people in Tiexue. The new official took office. He seems to have some prejudice against the students?"
