Chapter 150: Beautiful, Beautiful
"Knock knock..."
"Master is here, sit down quickly."
The person watching by the door whispered a reminder to the inside.
The classmates surrounding Zhao Ce turned around and returned to their seats, maintaining the proper student demeanor.
After Master Li walked into the classroom, he saw everyone sitting upright and nodded.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble in class, he doesn't have to pay much attention to it.
"Have you finished all the homework I assigned yesterday?"
Master Li asked, his eyes falling on Zhao Ce first.
"It's all done."
A class of students responded in unison.
The unified answers were also mixed with some voices that lacked confidence.
"The deceased is like a man, so you can hide it sincerely."
"This sentence... is not bad!"
Master looked through Zhao Ce's homework, and when he read one of the Analects, his tone was a little hesitant.
But after reading the next sentence from Mencius, my eyes lit up.
Touching his chin, he was very satisfied with Zhao Ce's homework.
The homework he gave Zhao Ce yesterday was actually a bit too much.
But according to Zhao Ce's familiarity with the "Four Books", he also intended to train him.
This exercise continued until last night when the lights were turned on, and Zhao Ce finished all his homework.
After being praised by the teacher, the other students all looked at Zhao Ce with envy and adoration.
Zhao Ce didn't show it on his face, but he did experience the joy of being a good student.
After Master Li read all Zhao Ce's homework, he looked at Zhao Ce with eyes full of "love".
It's rare to meet someone who is studying and is his student.
Moreover, this man's temperament was also very to his liking.
Later, Master Li also looked at the homework of several other classmates, mostly comments.
Looking at Wu Xueli again, Li Xiucai's brows suddenly wrinkled tightly.
Wu Xueli looked at his expression, his eyes evaded, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Li Xiucai looked away from the book and glanced at Wu Xueli faintly.
"Master, the student knows that he is wrong!"
Wu Xueli suddenly stood up and apologized quickly.
His cousin persuaded him to go to a brothel last night so that he could see the beauty of the courtesan.
Wu Xueli could not resist the temptation, so he did his homework perfunctorily.
Unexpectedly, after I went there, I was blocked by a couplet at the door.
His cousin who was traveling with him persuaded him to have a few more glasses of wine and fell asleep after returning home.
Needless to say, the quality of this homework is of course...
Li Xiucai didn't even get angry, and Wu Xueli quickly admitted his mistake.
"I give you homework every day, but I supervise it at multiple levels so that you can always remember the importance of studying."
"But what you really rely on is yourselves. If you really don't want to learn, it's useless for me to catch you with my whip."
Li Xiucai spoke to Wu Xueli in a calm tone.
There was obvious regret on Wu Xueli's face.
"Master, students don't dare to do this anymore."
Li Xiucai asked him to sit down and began to teach.
When the talk was almost finished, Li Xiucai told them another piece of news.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days, and there will be a poem-matching game at the Lantern Festival. The poems at the Lantern Festival every year are very tricky. You can also try it at that time."
"If it is correct, the poem will be posted in the lobby of Zuixuan Tower for the guests who go to the restaurant every day to see it."
"This move will also help improve your reputation."
Lantern Festival?
Zhao Ce thought of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the original owner's memory, which seemed quite lively.
When the time comes, you can bring the little girl at home to have a look.
After finishing speaking, Li Xiucai seemed to be reminiscing about something and said: "But what's even more amazing is the chrysanthemum stuffed wine on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's cool and sweet. After eating that cup, your mouth will be filled with the fragrance of flowers and a long aftertaste..."
"Beautiful, beautiful..."
"You must try it then."
After finishing the arrangements in class, Master Li said to Zhao Ce and others: "Zhao Ce, Wu Xueli, Qiu Shubai."
"You three, stay."
Zhao Ce didn't know why.
Waiting with the other two.
Wait until everyone is gone.
Li Xiucai said to the three of them: "You three are determined to participate in next year's childbirth examination."
"So starting from tomorrow, after class every day, I will explain to you the writing standards of the imperial examination."
After Zhao Ce heard what Li Xiucai said, he thought that he was going to give the three of them a chance to take the exam.
But if this happens, the time he will go back every day will be later.
Wu Xueli and Wu Xueli were a little excited and thanked Li Xiucai profusely.
Li Xiucai waved his hand.
"Today, I will give you a general explanation of how to make Babiwen."
This is about teaching composition!
The eight-legged essay also became the "eight-legged essay" in later generations.
It's just that it's still in the Ming Dynasty, because there is no such name yet.
This was one of his weak points, so Zhao Ce quickly cheered up.
"What these eight-part writing focuses on is neat contrasts and appropriate balance. To put it more deeply, it also requires strict logic so that it can be self-explanatory in the end."
"Now, I don't require you to be logically rigorous, as long as you have the skills of balance and contrast when writing articles."
In the past few days, the homework assigned by Li Xiucai to Zhao Ce was basically to practice combat skills.
The Tongsheng test is a small test.
The content mentioned is basically selected from the "Four Books", and when solving the topic, it must also be solved in it.
But when you go deeper, you have to break out of the framework of the "Four Books" and add your own things into it.
But no matter what, it changes.
The format of these eight-part essays is the same.
Therefore, Li Xiucai paid special attention to these things.
"Of course, in the future, in addition to neat dialogues, you will also have many taboos in your writing."
"..."
Zhao Ce has also appeared in many TV dramas in his previous life!
Some poor scholars, after gaining fame, were sent to raise horses because they contradicted the emperor in the imperial examination.
Some wrote some words that were insulting to the emperor during the exam, and were exempted from the exam for life...
Some were even taken to beheaded directly.
Or it may directly harm your family.
At first I thought that all such people had integrity, but now that I think about it, they were just trying to have a good time.
When he is in such a situation, he will never be able to do such a thing.
After all, he wants to obtain fame as soon as possible so that he can settle down and live in this world.
Rather than thinking about using his own strength as a peasant to fight against an entire dynasty.
Thinking about it, Zhao Ce shook his head violently, threw all these distracting thoughts out of his mind, and continued to listen carefully to Li Xiucai's words.
Especially those taboos were written down one by one.
Li Xiucai briefly explained to them some basic theories of Babi Wen.
He spoke neither quickly nor slowly, and explained very clearly.
All three of them were immersed in memorizing.
After he finished speaking, Li Xiucai said: "I will stop here today. Starting tomorrow, I will explain to you how to write Shi Wen from the beginning."
"Of course, you should also practice pairing with each other after class."
Chapter completed!
