Before lunch, Lao Buyu brought Wei Shu back.
Now Wei Shu was completely relaxed. He ate a few mouthfuls of food and went into the house to sleep.
Shen Cui was quite surprised. She didn't expect Ling Qingming to release the person so easily.
After all, Song Yao had a serious performance disorder because of a small fire.
In addition to his arrogant personality when he was in power, even if Chen Cui had never participated in the imperial examination, she knew that this man was not capable of taking on such a big responsibility.
Ling Qingming is so calculating that he should have said today what Lao Buyu had guessed he would say before, and kept Wei Shu in Qingzhu Academy.
She didn't need to ask this. Lao Buyu turned around and settled Mu Erpang and Wei Shu - asking them to try to do the questions for the provincial examination, and then explain them to them together with the questions Wei Shu had done.
"It was also good luck that Ah Shu came back early, and Song Yao hadn't returned to Qingzhu yet! So my senior brother let me bring Ah Shu back without any effort. He should know the whole story now, and he's probably sulking." Lao Buyu couldn't help laughing when he mentioned this, "Ah Shu is really good. I thought my senior brother would definitely ask about Song Yao. If he had directly told me Song Yao's ranking, my senior brother would definitely change his mind... and it would take some effort by then."
"You didn't check your testimony with Ashu?"
"That's not right." Lao Buyu waved his hand. "He is a man of integrity. I don't want him to do anything against his will. But I don't think he will take advantage of others' misfortune. And it doesn't matter if I say it. After all, my senior brother promised me that as long as I pass the prefectural exam, I can go back to Qingzhu or stay in Cuiwei with him. He is such a face-conscious person, is it possible that he will go back on his word?"
Chen Cui laughed. Ling Qingming had felt that Wei Shuxin was biased towards Cuiwei and was not as talented as Song Yao, his direct descendant, so he planned to ask Lao Buyu to help teach him.
In fact, he had no idea that although Wei Shu had indeed had a lot of contact with his family before, he was not a three-year-old child who could be coaxed into following others with a little sweet talk. In fact, he was not to the point of turning against his family.
But now he will stay in Cuiwei for a long time. There is no intrigue here. Everyone in the academy treats each other with sincerity and exchanges sincerity for sincerity. Naturally, Wei Shu's heart will become more and more biased. Even if Wei Shu's origins are mentioned later, Qingzhu comes first and Cuiwei comes second, anyone who is not blind can tell which side he is more close to.
Chief Qingzhu is completely shooting himself in the foot!
Wei Shu fell asleep, so Chen Cui didn't activate the time gain.
He slept for about two hours, and after getting up he came out of the dormitory.
At that time, Mu Erpang and Wei Xi had also finished writing the part about the test of "Tie Jing".
The so-called "posting scriptures" is explained in the content of "Tongdian·Election Three", which means "covering the two ends of the scriptures you are learning, opening a single line in the middle, and cutting the paper into a post." Whenever there are three characters in a post, you can add or subtract them at any time. It can be different. If you get four, five, or six, it is correct.'
When Shen Cui was listening in on the class, she took a quick look and realized that this question was similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions in Chinese language exams in later generations.
This is a test of the examinee's memory, which is the most basic thing in the imperial examination.
Wei Shu and Wei Xi both answered all the questions correctly. Mu Erpang had only been studying for a short time and had not yet learned some parts of the book, so he could only write about 80% of it.
He felt a little embarrassed, but Lao Buyu said, "It's nothing. The ones you didn't answer are the ones you haven't learned yet. And the ones you have learned are all correct!"
Wei Shu and Wei Xi also nodded. Wei Xi said, "My memory is better than yours, but you can't memorize so many books when you just studied for one year."
Everyone saw the hard work that Mu Erpang put in.
Who, when just starting to learn, could sit still and learn as well as he did?
Many people start studying at the age of fifteen or sixteen, saying that they have studied hard for ten years, but in fact, the first few years are just for tempering their character and cultivating good study habits.
Mu Erpang started late, but he was born with a clear mind and was always moving forward.
Wei Xi and Wei Shu, who came later, never looked down on him.
After finishing the part about calligraphy, Lao Buyu started to talk about essays, which include essays, tables and other genres, and mainly examine calligraphy and writing skills.
Mu Erpang has now mastered the official script which is barely acceptable. Although the articles he writes are far from being good, his handwriting is not ugly.
Chen Cui could not quite understand this part. Seeing her concentration value plummeting, she did not dare to listen any further. She quickly found the calligraphy copybook she practiced daily and began to practice calligraphy according to it.
The final policy essay question tests the candidates' understanding and views on laws, current affairs, and official administration.
This is the most difficult and important of the three, and there are many tricks involved.
It was already dusk, and the previous two hours were not enough for Mu Erpang and Wei Xi to finish the questions.
Lao Buyu put the matter aside for now and asked them to try to finish the topic after dinner. Wei Shu needed to follow Ling Mingqing's instructions today and rewrite it from a different angle. He would continue to talk about it together tomorrow morning.
At the dinner table, the three teenagers didn't chat much, and it was obvious that they were all still thinking about the content of the test paper.
This is the valuable educational resource brought by Wei Shu. Although Chen Cui also got them some questions before, they knew that these were mock questions. Doing mock questions and real questions naturally puts people in a different state of mind.
After dinner, the children have to do homework. At this time, time gain cannot be used - you cannot let them get used to using double time to solve the problems.
Shen Cui picked up a random book and went home to read.
She had just read two pages when Zhou came over.
After coming over, she sat on the edge of the kang and didn't speak for a while.
Shen Cui thought that she had encountered some problems in making clothes again and wanted to discuss it with her. She didn't take her eyes off the book and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Zhou had been running a small business for a few months. At first, she only took orders from Song Li. Later, many scholars came to her to order clothes. As she came into contact with more people, she was no longer as timid as before. She did not beat around the bush at this time, but said with a little embarrassment: "Young Master Wei has returned from the capital. I wonder how my husband is doing..."
It turned out that she was asking about Mu Yunchuan. No wonder she was suddenly so hesitant today.
It would have been fine if she didn't mention it, but it would have been a little strange if she mentioned Chen Cui. Oh, right, why didn't Wei Shu mention Mu Yunchuan at all when he came back from the capital?
In the past, he would even ask his servants to look for him specifically when they went to the capital to make purchases.
There is no reason to say that he went there in person but did not have any contact with Mu Yunchuan.
Chen Cui said she understood and would help ask later. Zhou then went back to her room to take care of her own things.
Later that day, Shen Cui went to pick up her fat son from school in person.
At that time, Lao Buyu had not finished the get out of class yet, and Wei Shu was not in the main room. She guessed that Lao Buyu had asked Wei Shu to rest first, so she went to the dormitory to look for him.
In the dormitory, Wei Shu was making his bed.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Shu opened the door and invited her in.
Chen Cui stood at the door and didn't go in. She just said, "The Zhou family's child is worried about Yunchuan. Seeing that you didn't mention it after you came back, she felt a little strange and asked me to ask about it."
"This matter... is a long story. I was thinking of telling the headmaster in private. Headmaster, please come into the room and talk."
It turned out that Wei Shu didn't fail to look for Mu Yunchuan. After arriving in the city, he rested for a day and went to look for Mu Yunchuan the next day.
But Mu Yunchuan is not in the provincial school.
He was unfamiliar with the provincial school and it took him some effort to find out that Mu Yunchuan was appreciated by the governor of education and was brought under his personal guidance.
The academy examination was presided over by the governor of education. Later, the scholars who passed the examination had to take part in the annual examination also presided over by the governor, and were divided into three grades.
Mu Yunchuan, a first-class student on government scholarship, was selected through the annual examination.
This time the Governor of Education brought him with him, and the news spread in the provincial school that the Governor of Education wanted to recommend Mu Yunchuan as a tribute student and let him study in the Imperial Academy.
This experience is really unbelievable to others, but for Mu Yunchuan, it seems very reasonable.
"Because this matter has not been decided, I wanted to tell the dean privately, but I forgot about it today because I was busy. Yunchuan is full of knowledge, and now he is appreciated by the academician. If he can enter the Imperial College and become a tribute student, theoretically he can directly become an official."
When he asked people in the provincial school about this matter, the person who leaked it to him was almost jealous to death. But Wei Shu was not jealous. Although he had now figured it out and regarded Mu Yunchuan as a friend whose friendship was as pure as water, he also sincerely hoped for the best for him.
But Shen Cui knew that Mu Yunchuan would not.
Becoming a tribute student and entering the Imperial College is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Regardless of the development of the plot in the original book, let’s just say that Mu Yunchuan has great ambitions and huge goals. He doesn't care about this kind of preferential treatment similar to that of special admissions.
Moreover, by doing this, the Superintendent of Education seemed to be his benefactor and teacher.
The court disputes were like the roots of an old tree, intertwined and complicated. How could he tie himself and the admiral's student together without even setting foot in the court and without knowing the full picture?
"You are right not to say anything," Chen Cui said, "It has not been decided yet, so let's just pretend we don't know. I just told Zhou that he was busy in the government school and you didn't get to see him."
Wei Shu nodded in agreement. Just then, Lao Buyu's class was over, so Chen Cui asked Wei Shu to rest quickly and then took her fat son home.
Mu Erpang went home and washed up, but did not rest. Just as he took out the book he had secretly brought back, Chen Cui knocked on his door.
"Is there anything wrong, mom? I'm going to sleep!"
Shen Cui said, "Don't come here." "I saw you specially brought back the candlesticks from the academy. What are you going to do tonight?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Mu Erpang got off the bed and opened the door.
When he entered the room and saw the book spread out on the kang table, Shen Cui asked him, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Ever since Mu Erpang started learning from Lao Buyu, he had been taking classes for a whole day and half a night. At the beginning, he was so tired that he would go home, wash up, and fall asleep immediately.
After finally getting used to it, Shen Cui got the time bonus, and her daily study time became two days and one night.
Although he had a naturally strong physique, he was still very tired every day with this intensity of study.
"I am a little sleepy." After she said this, Mu Erpang couldn't help but yawn, "But...well, anyway, I want to work harder."
Chen Cui also understood that he had done the same test paper with his classmates today, and realized the gap between himself and them, so he wanted to catch up -
Today the teacher was talking about the calligraphy sutra and said that he had answered all the questions he had learned correctly, which was pretty good.
But he felt that it was not enough. He took it for granted that he could recite what he had learned. He can preview what he hasn’t learned before.
Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear. Although it will be more difficult to memorize the text because you don't understand its meaning during the reading process, you will be able to grasp it better after previewing and then listening to the explanation.
He didn't need anyone to teach him these things, he thought of them himself.
Shen Cui confirmed again that his physical condition had not declined, so she did not stop him and only said, "Then watch it for another half an hour. Mother will accompany you and go to bed after watching it."
Mu Erpang nodded repeatedly and gave her half of the quilt for her to sit on.
Shen Cui sat in bed, leaning against the wall, listening to him reading and reciting.
"The laws of nature change, the rise and fall of all things, the power of the earth is what makes it possible..."
Mu Erpang had just carried his mother on his back for a quarter of an hour when he heard his mother's even breathing.
He couldn't help but smile, reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, and then continued to recite in a low voice.
