013: The gap that even the horses can't catch up with?
Young Master Yu wanted to compete with the scheming Cheng Qing again, but he could not easily see Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing is not stupid. She just slapped her in the face and was wandering around all day long. Isn’t this convenient for the second house to take revenge?
If you don’t do it, you won’t die. Cheng Qing still wants to save his life and get admitted to Nanyi Academy!
Therefore, after he carried the money back to the second house, Cheng Qing ignored it no matter how the people outside blamed the second house or how they sympathized with her family.
She just studied at home and didn't know what to take for Nanyi Academy, but reading the four books given by Li was the minimum standard.
What Li gave was annotated version, but Cheng Qing still couldn't understand it thoroughly.
The "Big Wei" was a dynasty that made Cheng Qing unfamiliar. It was not the Ming Taizu who won the world in the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but the Wei Taizu Xiao family.
But before the end of the Yuan Dynasty, history was the same as Cheng Qing knew.
The Great Wei Liming said that whether it is the imperial examination system or the social outlook, the four books are of course the four books that Cheng Qing is familiar with. It is nonsense to say that she has never learned anything at all. There are excerpts in the Chinese textbooks, and some famous sentences in the Analects of Confucius can be spoken out by later generations.
But those simple interpretations and understandings should be used to take the imperial examination in the Wei Dynasty, which is too underestimated.
Without good teachers, Cheng Qing’s self-study process is more painful.
This is still the understanding of adults. She is even more confused when she wants to change to a real child to study.
Thanks to Cheng Zhiyuan for enlightening "Cheng Qing". Otherwise, Cheng Qing would not even know how to break the sentences if he got these vertical traditional books!
Cheng Qing stayed in the door and stopped every day. She got up at first and stopped at the end of Hai. If it was changed to a 24-hour system, she would get up at 5 a.m. and go to bed at 11 p.m. At twelve hours a day, she would have at least seven or eight hours to keep her books.
Mrs. Liu and her three sisters felt very distressed.
Listening to the sound of the man reading aloud, Liu felt sorry for Cheng Qing's hard work in studying, and he was thinking about how to nourish Cheng Qing's health every day. Cheng Gui wanted to find Liu's cooperation with Xiu and went to Yangliu Lane to apologize to Liu.
According to Cheng Qing's instructions, Liu can accept the gift if he apologized, and Cheng Gui resolutely took it back.
Seeing Cheng Gui accompanying Xiaojing to apologize, Cheng Qing’s three sisters felt very relieved.
Xiaolang is capable and can make the old house bow his head!
Before Cheng Qing could even come down to see the guests, he locked himself upstairs and studied hard.
Cheng Gui laughed downstairs after listening for a while. It turned out that Cheng Qing was not lying to his grandmother, but he had really never learned the Four Books and Five Classics. He was just beginning to memorize the "Analects of Confucius".
So what if you are scheming? The academic foundation is too poor, and the gap with him is too big... The gap between the two will gradually widen. He will take the provincial examination next year, and if he passes the exam, he will be a juren.
Cheng Qing had to be filial to take the Tongsheng Examination, and then he took the scholarship after the Tongsheng Examination.
Without six or seven years of hard work, Cheng Qing could not catch up with his current level!
Cheng Gui came for seven or eight days, and Liu's foot injury was healed. The Cheng family no longer had to go to the pharmacy to buy plaster. Cheng Gui did a good job of being on the outside and stopped coming to the door.
Cheng Gui came a few days ago, Cheng Qing recited the "Analects of Confucius" for a few days. In the end, Cheng Gui no longer regarded Cheng Qing as an opponent of the same level.
Young Master Yu couldn't stop Cheng Qing's people. After hearing about Cheng Qing's study progress, his stomach hurts because he laughed:
"Even my level is not as good as my master's level, and I still want to be admitted to Nanyi Academy? I am waiting for him at Nanyi Academy. If he can get into the academy with his real ability, I will apologize to him!"
Young Master Yu spoke to the outside world, and it reached Cheng Qing's ears, and she just smiled.
She had already returned to the second house because of the scary horse. She also found out about the origin of Young Master Yu. The son of the Xuandu prefect's family will be the son of the mayor and a real son of an official... Cheng Qing will sooner or later respond to the other party's teasing. Now the top priority is to be admitted to Nanyi Academy, and he cannot be distracted by Young Master Yu.
To win the respect of others, you must first have your own strength.
Even if she can’t pass the Nanyi Academy, why should she be valued by the clan?
Her plan is also to take the entrance exam in June. It is now the end of April. Cheng Qing told herself not to worry and calm down and continue to study.
In addition to reading and reciting every day, Cheng Qing also arranged exercise time for herself. She didn't go out and walked around the small courtyard. She never stopped until she was sweating and wet her clothes. Liu sent the fifth room to the medicinal materials to Cheng Qing's meals. After studying hard for two months, Cheng Qing's body was not dragged down, but her face became a bit more rosy and healthy.
"Xiaolang, the yellowness on your face has faded a lot!"
Liu was very happy.
Before Cheng Qing got sick, her skin was fair and she suffered a serious illness and had a bad body, which made her face look yellow.
After staying in the door for two months, the disease has faded, the yellow energy has faded, and her skin has started to turn white again.
Liu doesn't care about Cheng Qing's appearance, she cares about Cheng Qing's health.
Cheng Qing looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, but because his facial features were not completely open, her face was still unmatched, and she was too lazy to beautify herself - there was no need. The founding of the Great Wei Dynasty for 150 years, singing and dancing became peaceful, and Nanyi County was fine. I heard that in the southern region with a developed commercial atmosphere, men used hairpins and powder as a beauty!
Cheng Qing's skin color was thrown into Nanyi Academy, and it was not a pity at all. Nine out of ten students were whiter than her.
Cheng Qing was relieved.
After studying hard for two months, she left the attic and announced that she had ended her retreat.
The eldest lady asked her if she was sure to pass the college entrance examination, and Cheng Qing nodded with a smile: "I'll try my best!"
As soon as she left the confinement, she went to the fifth room in person, thanking Li for giving the book, and also showing that she was ready to take the academy entrance examination. Li advised her not to worry, it is important to take care of her health first. Cheng Qing refuted Li for the first time:
"Grandma, every inch of time is valuable. I am wasting a little time now and I am not responsible for my future. I want to give it a try."
After going through the changes, this child is so precocious.
Two months have passed, and there is still no definite explanation for Cheng Zhiyuan's case. The imperial envoy Zhang has left Hetai Prefecture and returned to Beijing... Li's eyes looked at Cheng Qing with a little more pity.
"Then try it. It doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam. Nanyi Academy is not a scientific exam. If you don't pass the exam this time, you can take the exam again in March. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Cheng Qing thanked Li for his concern.
She didn't ask about Cheng Zhiyuan's case. No news was good news at this time. If the court ruled that Cheng Zhiyuan was guilty, the news would have spread throughout Nanyi County long ago. Since no one was talking about it, it would still be a stalemate.
Cheng Qing plans to talk to Mr. Cheng Wu once he passes the Nanyi Academy entrance examination.
Now, Master Wu doesn't want to see her.
Cheng Qing could understand it completely.
When the patriarch is very busy, he will meet anyone who wants to see him. Master Cheng Wu is so tired!
Upon hearing that Cheng Qing was ready to take the college entrance examination in June, Mrs. Zhu started pruning the branches again:
"Madam Zhou, Brother Qing is young, and he will definitely lose his health after studying hard for two months. You can give him some nourishing soup."
Madam Zhou lowered her head and agreed.
According to Mama Zhou's idea, the old lady shouldn't have been so anxious. After all, Cheng Qing didn't even pass the academy, which was too far from Master Cheng Gui's level.
But Cheng Qing damaged the reputation of Young Master Cheng Gui last time and really angered the old lady. The old lady didn't want to see Cheng Qing stand up at all.
Madam Zhou sighed in her heart, the old lady is the master and she is the slave, how dare she refuse to obey the old lady's instructions?
