Chapter 374: Leisurely Days, Teaching Brothers and Sisters
The heavy rain fell all night and moistened the dry earth.
The next day, the entire Guangling became much fresher, and the weather was not as hot as before.
Early in the morning, the county magistrate sent someone to send invitations, and at noon the banquet will be held in the government office, with officials and fellow gentry accompanying him to hold a thank-you banquet for Qin Guan.
The banquet was very lively, and the old Dao Yuantong of the Heavenly Dao Sect was still there. He recovered very quickly. He needed someone to help him yesterday, but today he was able to walk by himself.
Yuan Tong sat next to Qin Guan and asked in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know if that corpse pill is sold."
Qin Guan raised his eyes and said, "What are Brother Yuantong going to do with that corpse pill?"
"In fact, the greatest ability of our Tiandao Sect is not to kill demons and eliminate demons. If you want to deal with evil spirits, it is your Sword Sect that is powerful. Our Tiandao Sect is good at making talismans and refining elixirs and magic weapons. The corpse pill is an extremely yin pill. If you find another extremely yang pill and practice the two pills together, you can practice Yin and Yang Wuji pill."
"Oh, what is the function of this Yin-Yang Wuji Pill?"
"This pill is of great use to impact the foundation-building realm of Qi training cultivators." After saying that, the old Taoist looked at Qin Guan and suddenly said, "Forget it, fellow Taoists are also in Qi training realm. I think it will be useful in the future, so I won't take away what I love."
Qin Guan smiled and didn't speak.
The next day, the old Taoist came to the Qin family and thanked Qin Guan again for saving his life. He said that if he had time, he could go to Tiandao Sect to find him. If he needed alchemy, he could help and then say goodbye and leave.
The incident of Qin Guan killing Hanba quickly spread, and people in Guangling and even Jeju knew about this.
Qin Guan's sword cut off the drought, relieved the severe drought in several counties, saved the people from water and fire, and made Qin Guan's prestige in Guangling particularly high.
No matter where you go, people will salute respectfully when they see Qin Guan.
Even the Qin family is respected.
Qin Dashou occasionally goes out for a walk, and many people take the initiative to salute, which makes Qin Dashou feel bright on his face and smile all day long.
The magistrate of Di also reported to the court for this matter. A few days later, the court issued a reward. The emperor gave a plaque "Eliminate the harm for the people" that could be hung in the hall and given a pair of six-party porcelain bottles, which meant peace. This is a reward for Qin Guan's achievements.
Qin Guan didn't care too much about these things, but his family was very happy.
Everything was stable, and Qin Guan began a truly idle life.
In addition to meditating and practicing sword control every day, he will teach his younger brothers and sisters how to learn when he has nothing to do.
The eldest brother Qin Ziheng is 19 years old this year, the second brother Qin Zixu is 17 years old, the eldest sister Qin Hui is 15 years old this year, and the younger sister Qin Wan is only 10 years old.
Both younger brothers were studying. Qin Dashou was persistent in studying. He believed that if he wanted to change the Qin family, he could only study. Of course, most ancient families were like this, so children in the family would ask for study, regardless of gender, regardless of gender, and even the youngest Wan'er was studying in Qionglin.
And he succeeded. He had a Jie Yuan like Qin Guan at home. In the future, the Qin family would enter the gentry class, which was completely beyond the comparison of the small landlord family before.
There are four sets of tables and chairs in the hall, like a small academy, where younger brothers and sisters sit and study, but their own learning is different.
Qin Guan walked behind Xiao Wan'er and watched her practicing calligraphy. She was writing in a zigzag manner, and her forehead was so tired that she was sweating. Qin Guan nodded and said, "Well, Wan'er's calligraphy has improved."
"Brother, can I give out such beautiful words like you?" Wan'er asked.
"Of course, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be fine." Qin Guan encouraged.
"Well, brother, I will definitely work hard." Wan'er said.
Qin Guan patted her little head.
When he turned behind his eldest sister Qin Hui, he saw that she was reading "Biographies of Women", Qin Guan said, "These books commend beauty and goodness, praise women's noble character and intelligence, but remember, you must read any problem dialectically. Don't be stupid when encountering things, die with them at any time, or know how to do things with your brain."
The eldest sister was surprised by her brother's view, "But why is the gentleman saying different from her brother? She said that women must obey the three and four virtues and be chaste women in order to be praised by others."
"Your husband is a scholar, am I a juren, or Jie Yuan? Who do you think is right?" Qin Guan said with confidence.
"Of course it's brother."
"Then just listen to me, just read this kind of book."
He then moved behind his two younger brothers. Qin Guan left them homework before. This year they both had to take the scholar exam, so Qin Guan simulated the question for them according to the examination rules.
In fact, this kind of simulation test is very useful for candidates. One is to increase confidence and the other is to increase tension. It can also explore the details and then deepen the impression by explaining the questions.
When the time came, the two of them handed over the paper. Qin Guan took it over and read it quickly. He gave his eldest brother a second and directly gave his second brother a second.
Qin Guan's tone of his two younger brothers became much more serious, pointing out the shortcomings in the test paper, and shattering them bit by bit, allowing them to read the explanation of the scriptures on this aspect by themselves.
The two younger brothers bowed to the teachings.
Speaking of which, it is definitely their luck to have such a brother Jie Yuan. Qin Guan is now a soldier who has been through the exam room. With the modern summary of theoretical teaching, he definitely knows how to teach better than those private school teachers.
Someone once said that if educational institutions such as New Oriental and Xueersi intervened in the ancient imperial examinations, they would definitely analyze the entire imperial examinations thoroughly, and then summarize various key and difficult points, analyze the questions of previous years and analyze the preferences of the examiners of this year to press the questions. Basically, the scholar exam is accurate, and the juren is not difficult, and the Jinshi is not an extravagant hope.
Why were there very few poor scholars in ancient times who passed the exam? Most of them were prone to children of large families. Among them, the study of how to take the exam is related to those large families.
In fact, Qin Guan used these skills to ask questions for his two younger brothers.
As the days pass by, Qin Guan actually enjoys this feeling quite a bit.
Leisure, relax, read books, teach your younger siblings.
Practice at night.
Day after day, no worries.
Good.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the scholar exam was once a year. Qin Guan personally sent his two younger brothers to the examination room and told them not to panic. As long as they write down the knowledge they usually teach them, there should be no problem.
When the exam was over, Qin Dashou and Qin Guan came to pick up their two sons together. When they returned home, Qin Dashou asked their two sons: "How does this exam feel?"
The two looked at each other, and the eldest brother said, "My brother has taught those test questions and explained them in detail. My son feels that he can pass them."
The second brother said: "When I saw those questions, my first feeling was that my brother was so amazing."
Qin Guan smiled.
