Liu Da thought for a moment, glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "You have been classmates for two years, and they have all started to get involved in the meaning of the classics. Although the Jinshi class does not take the Nine Classics, the current affairs strategy is tried. If you do not understand the meaning of the classics, you will not be able to start writing when answering the strategy. Therefore, whether it is the Ming Classics or the Jinshi class, the meaning of the classics is very important."

After a pause, seeing that the two listened carefully and had a correct attitude, Liu Da said again: "In the past, every year, the county school enrolled students, and in the classical examination, candidates would usually choose two of the nine classics of the major, medium and small. Each classical and oral question would be asked ten oral questions, and each classical and those who passed more than six were passed. Today I will choose a simple question to see which of you two can answer better."

"Let's choose from the Book of Shu. In the chapter of "Yu Shu Yao Dian", how can I explain this sentence "Yun Gong Ke Rang, Guang is four forms, and the upper and lower parts are placed?"

Liu Da pointed at Tao Sheng, "You answer first!"

Tao Sheng frowned and pondered, saying that the meaning of the classics will be the focus of learning three months after the school, and it is also a must-examination subject for county students to recruit students.

Although the questions given by Liu Da are not difficult, for students who have just dabbled in the classics, it is still difficult to organize the language and answer them in a good manner.

After a while, he heard Tao Sheng's words carefully and said, "The whole sentence of this sentence is 'It is said that Ruoji is ancient, Emperor Yao said that it is Fangxun, Qin, Ming, Wen, Si, and An, and Congratulations, and is respected by the four forms of the upper and lower levels. He is virtuous and kind to the nine tribes. After the nine tribes are harmonious, the people are peaceful and harmonious, and the people are harmonious in the times of change.'

"Zhengyi" explains: "The history will describe the beauty of Yao. The drum is the title of "The person who can follow the examination and practice the ancient Taoism" is Emperor Yao. He also stated that the matter of "The Emperor Yao can imitate the achievements of the previous world and carry out education, have a respectful mind and wisdom, and have a document when he is proposing the chariot, and he can be wise and wise. He can use these four virtues to be at peace in the world...'"

Tao Sheng spoke very slowly and was stuck at times. It took about a stick of incense to finish oral writing a scripture of the scriptures with a little effort.

By the time he finished speaking, Tao Sheng was already sweating, rubbing his forehead, and his mouth and tongue were dry.

Liu Da nodded and smiled, "Although most of them recite the annotations recorded in "The Book of Documents" and some omissions are missing and confused, but based on your current academic progress, it is really rare. It is very good. If you work harder in the next three months, you will make faster progress after you go to the county school."

Ge Lide also smiled with satisfaction and said, "You two sons of the Tao family were admitted to the county school from Shuikou Township School. There are two students in one subject. It's not easy! If it is spread, it must be a good story!"

Tao Sheng's face was flushed with excitement. Ge Lide said this to show that he also recognized his knowledge and was enough to be admitted to the county school.

Tao Zuoli and Tao Yuanniang suddenly laughed so hard that they couldn't stop, and their whole body was as relaxed as if they had drunk a bowl of ice drink in the dog days of summer.

Tao Yuanniang glanced at Fang Cuilan, and her nostrils were almost reaching the sky.

Tao Chang also smiled. If his second brother was admitted to the county school this year, the name of Tao in Shuikou Township would become more and more resounding.

If Mr. Ge can be valued by him and mentioned a few words in front of his son, Magistrate Ge, maybe the Tao family will be named as a role model for Zhushan County's study and study.

Zhu Xiuchao looked at Tao Sheng proudly. As a top student in the rural school, this guy does have a few tricks to put the original Zhu Xiu and really get rid of it.

After the Tao family finished their discussion happily, Liu Dacai said to Zhu Xiu: "It's your time to explain the meaning."

Zhu Xiu smiled shyly and bowed, "Students dare not speak nonsense. Half of this moral text was left by my father when he was annotating the Book of Documents, and the students recorded it when they were studying the Book of Documents. The other half were some of the experiences of students after reading the Book of Documents during this period. If there is any mistake, please correct me!"

Ge Lide's wrinkled old face trembled, and he suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Zhu Jingyi is indeed the highest talent in Zhushan County! Awesome! Awesome!"

Liu Da sighed with emotion: "Brother Jing Yi is so talented that he died young. It's really a shame to be honest!"

Zhu Xiu was full of sadness and wiped the corners of his eyes, and felt relieved in his heart.

This is the Commentary of Confucian classics, "The Commentary of the Thirteen Classics of Qing people" which was a collection of works by later generations. It is necessary to refresh and refresh. After all, it is a combination of the meanings of the scriptures and meanings of previous dynasties.

Ge Lide looked at Zhu Xiu, who was handsome and humble with his eyebrows and eyes, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, as if he had seen Zhu Daquan, who was also studying in the Shuikou Township School more than 20 years ago.

Ge Lide said seriously: "Your father was also silent in Fangshan Academy for many years and made a big splash! Now you can be a sudden enlightenment. If you keep this literary spirit, you will be expected to pass the imperial examination!"

Zhu Xiu blinked and sniffed his nose, as if he didn't smell any literary spirit on him.

"However, the court stipulates that the classics are based on the "Five Classics Justice" as the model. In the future, you need to strengthen your study and know how to incorporate this model into your own understanding. You will not transcend the norms of the court and do not lose your own characteristics, so that you can get the right way to answer the test!"

Ge Lide is very serious and has begun to teach some tips about Zhu Xiucao's studies.

Zhu Xiu naturally listened obediently, nodding, as if he suddenly changed from a poor student who hated people and ghosts to a super academic master who was highly anticipated by teachers and parents.

Tao Shengliu retreated unwillingly, with a complicated expression of loss and worries and anger on his face. He couldn't even figure it out even if he scratched his head. Why could Zhu Xiu's knowledge improve so quickly?

Fang Cuilan cried bitterly after losing her voice. Since her husband passed away, she had never been so excited, and even cried with joy.

Zhu Hong moistened her eyes and whispered to her mother: "Mom! We should be happy! I have really grown up and become smarter! This is the blessing of my father's spirit in heaven!"

Fang Cuilan nodded with a sob, folded her hands together, and kept murmuring: "All the whole story... Have you seen it? Our little man has learned it and inherited your knowledge. Even Mr. Ge praised him..."

Ge Lide and Liu Da kept laughing around Zhu Xiu, as if they had forgotten that this was in the Tao family's main hall, and also that there were also a group of Tao family members staring at each other.

Tao Zuoli stood up in disbelief and murmured: "Old Ge...Is this test just now... really... Is Zhu Xiusheng really?"

Ge Lide stroked his beard and nodded without hesitation: "Of course it was Zhu Xiu's victory! Although part of it was the knowledge left by his father, as long as Zhu Xiu could inherit seven or eight points, it would be no problem to take the exam for a county school."

After a moment of pause, I ignored Tao Zuoli's ugly and stiff face. Ge Lide said in a deep voice: "Students in the school are more important than students, so I choose the best. I see the talent and knowledge that Zhu Xiu showed this time and feel deeply satisfied. Zhu Xiu continued to stay in the school and studied, and I decided to do this."

Ge Lide smiled at Zhu Xiu with a kind look on his face and said, "March will be the county school enrollment in another month. You are well prepared. If you maintain today's momentum, there is great hope for the county school entrance exam!"

Zhu Xiu quickly bowed and said yes respectfully, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He was so hard that his reading path became more and more solid, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Tao Yuanniang was still dissatisfied and stood up suddenly and shouted: "Fake it! It must be fake! How could Zhu Xiu's knowledge surpass Tao Sheng in a short time? Someone wanted to deliberately favor the Zhu family!"

Ge Lide's expression changed slightly, and Liu Da also showed a hint of anger. This woman was so sarcastic.

Zhou Jincai smiled bitterly and pulled her, whispering to her not to make noise, but instead, Tao Yuanniang slapped her and pointed at her nose and scolded her: "This is my Tao family's business. It's not your turn to talk too much, get out of here!"

As a son-in-law, Zhou Jincai had an awkward position, but was also defeated by his own woman in public. His face turned pale and his mouth was so angry that he shivered.

Ge Lide glanced coldly and said lightly: "Is it a woman who made the decision of the Tao family? Humph~ Tao Cunzhen, I have to rush back to the county town, so I stayed there soon, say goodbye!"

Tao Zuoli suddenly became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to try to keep him, "Old Ge! Old Ge! Tao Zuoli has no way to teach his daughter, so don't know her like her!"

The Tao family chased Ge Lide out of the main hall, and Zhu Xiu and Fang Cuilan followed behind slowly to watch the fun.

Tao Yuanniang knew that her words were not appropriate to anger Mr. Ge, so she shrank and did not dare to move forward.

Tao Zuoli wanted to stop Ge Lide and prevent him from getting on the carriage, but was directly blocked by the Ge family entourage who was waiting beside the carriage. Two burly men glared at Tao Zuoli, and Tao Zuoli turned pale and took a few steps back.

"Old Ge, my aunt is a rural village woman. She is not polite. I hope Mr Ge will forgive me!"

Just as Ge Lide boarded the carriage, Tao Chang took a step forward and bowed to Ge Lide. A peaceful and respectful smile appeared on his face with a little freckle, which made people feel fond of affection.

Ge Lide glanced at him, put his feet down from his feet, walked to Tao Chang with a cane, and reached out to help him up.

Given the face of Taochang, an outstanding student in the county school, Ge Lide's face cleared a little, and he said lightly to Tao Zuoli, who was smiling on the side: "Taocun is taking his family back, there is no need to send it away. I have to deal with it even if I rush back to the county town. It's not for other reasons, Tao Village doesn't have to worry too much."

After saying this, Tao Zuoli knew that Mr. Ge had decided to leave, so he could only sigh and bow respectfully: "Mr. Ge slowly!"

Ge Lide nodded slightly, and his squinting presbyopia eyes found Zhu Xiu from the crowd, and said in a harmonious voice: "Remember to go to the school to Hua Mao on time in five days. I will personally ask about your studies in the future."

Zhu Xiu hurriedly saluted with his butt, "Students know, thank you Mr. Ge for his kindness!"

Ge Lide stroked his beard with a smile, and said nothing more. He just looked at Tao Zuli meaningfully, and got into the carriage with the help of Liu Da.

Liu Da bowed to everyone and entered the carriage. The Ge family entourage drove out of the Tao family's mansion. The Tao family and Zhu Xiuniang and the three of them were sent to the intersection.

Tao Zuoli watched the carriage go away, and remembered Mr. Ge's eyes just now, and sighed in his heart.

That was Mr. Ge who told him clearly that Zhu Xiu’s school quota would not be moved. The third grandson of your Tao family wanted to go to the school tent, and he would talk about it when there is a vacancy in the future.

Tao Zuoli never expected that Zhu Xiu would become enlightened and his academic progress was so rapid that even Mr. Ge looked at him with admiration.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed Tao Zuoli felt. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Tao Yuanniang who was still catching Zhou Jincai's ear and scolding, and he was even more angry.

"Tao Yuanniang! You... go in!" Tao Zuoli pointed at Tao Yuanniang so angry that she shivered, and her blue face kept trembling.

Tao Yuanniang was not afraid of the Tao family, but she was afraid of her father. She muttered a few words like a trembling body and pushing Zhou Jincai into the house.

Tao Zuoli looked at the three Zhu family members watching the fun outside the door, shook their sleeves and snorted heavily, and walked in with their hands behind their backs.

Tao Chang, who was walking at the end, paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Zhu Xiu, with a smile on his face, as if he wanted to remember him again.
