Be a master through ancient times

After drawing small vertical lines for a long time, Zhang Wenhai raised his head and said, "Brother Chu, I figured it out. It's 250 steps, right?"

"Yes. What if Xiao Ming's step count is changed to [-] and Xiao Gang's to [-]?" Chu Ci continued to ask.

Zhang Wenhai was taken aback for a moment, and immediately wanted to raise his strokes again.Chu Ci continued: "If it's ten thousand or six thousand, so what?"

"You need to find the right tricks to learn arithmetic. For example, the problem you just did is like this. From the problem, it can be seen that Xiao Ming is 250 steps faster than Xiao Gang. After Xiao Gang is [-] steps ahead, it will take [-] years for Xiao Ming to catch up with him." In another half of the time, multiply Xiao Ming's steps by the time, and the number of steps can be calculated as [-] steps." Chu Ci tried to explain to him in a simple way.

Zhang Wenhai suddenly realized: "In this way, the thousand steps are [-] steps, and the [-] steps are [-] steps! That is to say, as long as I get the right way, no matter how he changes the numbers, I will not change the number. It can be solved in its own way!"

"It's very smart. I'll come up with a few more questions. Don't use the previous method. It's best to think about it before doing it." Chu Ci felt that this piece of Wen Hai was actually quite smart, but the learning method was relatively rigid and not suitable for him. .

In the next few days, Zhang Wenhai had a crush on the math student.Chu Ci led him to meet the old farmer who put hens and rabbits in the same cage, the casual workers who divided the bridge construction project evenly, and the farmer who drew water from the upper field and irrigated the lower field at the same time. No objection, they are all called Xiao Ming.

Zhang Wenhai was puzzled, and he said to Chu Ci: "This Xiao Ming must be a man of great knowledge and talent, and he is fond of arithmetic. He has created so many difficult problems by himself, which is really admirable!"

Chu Ci laughed loudly: "Maybe, he can be regarded as a strange person." Xiao Ming, a Wannian elementary school student, at least no one in the whole country does not know him.

After practicing for so many days, when Zhang Wenhai took out the nine chapters of the county test in previous years, he found that he was no longer in a state of half-knowledge, and he would no longer use those time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone methods.Since he got the right method, he naturally solved all problems with one method.

In the past few days, Chu Ci has also continued to come up with questions. In his vision, the two hundred scripture questions basically include those that may be tested.There are also some outdated and too simple ones, so naturally they don't need to be listed above.

There are many ways to ask Mo Yi's questions, and the more types of questions, the better, and it is almost enough to come up with a hundred questions.

Mathematical questions require question types. After reading the county test papers Chu Ci over the years, he found that the general question types they gave were similar to what he understood, so one example question plus three exercises for each question type would be almost the same.

At present, the most important things are poems and essays. Chu Ci only has some clues. After trying a few questions, he felt that it was not very good, so he didn't insist.

It is now November 28, and he plans to go to the county seat tomorrow. He will first ask the master of the county school for advice before reorganizing his thoughts.

When Zhang Wenhai heard that Chu Ci was going to the county to prepare for the annual examination, he immediately said, "Brother Chu, let me go with you. I haven't seen those classmates and friends in the county for a long time. This time, I just went to catch up with them and have a competition. two."

Chu Ci looked at Zhang Wenhai's bright eyes, and knew that reminiscing about the old days was the second priority, and the most important thing was to compete one or two.Zhang Wenhai was also considered to be half-persuaded by Qishan Academy, and the reason for this was Zhang Wenhai himself.

Because of his repeated failures, he moaned and sighed in the academy all day long, which greatly affected the learning atmosphere of the academy, and brought the miserable wind and rain there.In addition, some students were outstanding in their studies, and they looked down on Zhang Wenhai very much. They called him "Shanghuzi" inside and outside the words, and they had several conflicts, not big or small.

This time he has studied with Chu Ci for so long, and he feels that he has benefited a lot, so he wants to go back and feel proud and get back his face.

Chu Ci naturally had no objection, and the county seat was not his family's, so naturally it was not regarded as whether to follow or not, and Zhang Wenhai was also going, so he could pick up the car on the way, and pick up the residence when he arrived in the county seat, it was the best of both worlds.

Last time shopkeeper Lu came back from the county seat and gave him 50 taels of silver.Chu Ci's depression caused by being coerced to paint finally dissipated some.

He entrusted the village head who came to the town to take the money back, and asked his brother to wait and see if there are any people in the village or near the village who want to sell their fields. Planted food.

Farmers don't have land and feel uneasy, and the temperament of the Chu family is not suitable for opening any kind of shop. With a few acres of land at home, he has a reputation as a scholar and is exempt from taxation. The food he gets is enough to feed and clothe the whole family.

……

This time I took a horse-drawn carriage, considering that the distance is relatively long, and mules can't carry big things.

Because he was walking the official road, the ground was much flatter. When Chu Ci sat up, he didn't feel as uncomfortable as last time.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it would be good if he could take the car, otherwise it would take a few days to go to the capital to catch the exam from here.

Zhang Wenhai lifted the curtain to have a look at the scenery outside, but was finally blown by the wind and put down the curtain resentfully.He looked at Chu Ci who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly said, "Brother Chu, can you ask me a few more questions?"

"No confidence in yourself?" Chu Ci opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenhai with a smile.

For a moment, Zhang Wenhai felt that Chu Ci had discovered all the small calculations in his heart. Under his wise eyes, there was always a feeling that all his thoughts could not be hidden.

"A little bit...especially poems and essays, I haven't asked you for advice yet." Zhang Wenhai looked a little depressed.

"I've seen your poems. The rhyme is even and the words have something to say. It's not bad." Chu Ci said this sincerely. He also took the course "Appreciation and Creation of Classical Metric Poetry" in modern times, but Compared with the native ancients, his poems are indeed not very good.

"Since brother Chu said so, I feel relieved." Zhang Wenhai was really pleased that he finally had a better place.As for the essays, it is generally not involved in the contest between their students. After all, the time spent on an essay may be several times that of the former.

Chu Ci rolled his eyes, and a bad thought came to his mind. He said to Zhang Wenhai: "If Brother Zhang is really not sure, I can teach Brother Zhang a magic weapon, how about it?"

Zhang Wenhai was overjoyed when he heard it: "Good! Brother Chu, please enlighten me, and I will listen carefully."

"Come with ears!"

After some whispering, Zhang Wenhai was dumbfounded. After a long time, he said in admiration: "Brother Chu just passed it on, which I have never heard before. Brother Chu is really talented!"

Chu Ci waved his hand: "No, I don't have any great talents, I'm just picking up people's teeth."

Zhang Wenhai's affection for Chuci has risen to a certain level again, so outstanding and yet so humble, Mr. is really a god!

At the gate of the county seat, Chu Ci opened the curtain and looked out, and found that the city wall was much taller than that of the town, the city gate was also opened wider, and the number of guards was double that of the town.

There are two teams outside the city, and everyone is lining up to enter the city.The guards usually compared the people who entered the city with the pictures on the notices on the wall, and those who found no problems were basically let go, only a few bearded men were stopped aside for questioning.

It wasn't until Chu Ci entered the city that he realized that there was a picture hanging on the wall in the city gate. It could be roughly seen that it was a man in his 30s who was wanted for robbery.This man had a big beard and his facial features were hardly discernible.

Zhang Wenhai next to him also took a look, said "I can't bear to look directly" and left. He still learned this word from Chu Ci, saying that he couldn't look directly because his eyes were too hot.Chu Ci also explained the spicy eyes, saying that it is like pepper getting into the eyes, which makes the eyes very uncomfortable.

The painting on the wall is too ugly to look at.His ability to choose words and sentences seems to have improved again.

Chu Ci also felt that based on such paintings, if the ancient household registration system was not so strict, it is estimated that nine out of ten cases would not be solved.

This painting is also a bit too abstract.

Because he stayed in front of the painting for a long time, the guard gave Chu Ci a fierce look.After seeing him wearing a scholar's blue shirt, his complexion just got better.

Chu Ci confessed his crime to him, and then walked towards Zhang Wenhai who was waiting in front.The two got into the carriage again, and when they reached a fork in the road, Chu Ci said, "I'll get off here first."

"Brother Chu is going to the county school?" Zhang Wenhai knew this road, which was the only way to the county school.The county school is built in Qingshi Lane.

The reason why Qingshi Lane is called this name is because the entire road is paved with big bluestones. Over the years, countless students have embarked on the road of learning through this road, and countless students have achieved success and fame through this road. .So this road is also called the student road.

People erected a stone tablet at the end of this road, on which are written the people who have achieved fame since the establishment of Yuanshan County School.It is similar to the modern honor roll.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Wenhai, Chu Ci stood in front of the stele and looked at it for a long time.He found that from the perspective of the entire county, they should belong to weak counties in the imperial examination, far inferior to places in the south of the Yangtze River where the style of writing prevails.

In this dynasty, if you went to the imperial examination in the capital, and people asked you your birthplace and name and learned that you were from Jiangnan, they would look at you highly.Without him, just because there are many candidates in Jiangnan, it is a different concept to stand out from thousands of people and stand out from hundreds of people.

The name of the original owner is not on the list. Although he is the youngest scholar since the establishment of the county, he has to be a Juren to achieve the lowest fame here.Chu Ci is confident that in two years, his name will definitely be engraved on it.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Chu Xiucai? The injury healed so soon? I remember when you were carried out of the prison, I watched it in the nearby restaurant. Didn't you get seriously injured?"

Several scholars came out of the county school, and the one standing at the front was looking at Chu Ci with that mocking look, and the words he said were also malicious.
