After the crowning ceremony, anyone who is familiar with Li Jin will call him "Xiuzhi".

Even if he is unfamiliar, he will be called by his character after hearing someone introduce him with his surname Li, Mingjin, and Zi Xiuzhi.

Li Jin knows that because in this era, men can become the masters of the house after being crowned.According to the rules, except for father and brother, no one else is qualified to call him by name.

But rules are rules, and it is common to call others by name when they are very close.

For example, even if Chen Xiran took the character after the exam, Li Jin called him'Xiran'.He also called Li Jin as'Xiuzhi' in general, and occasionally called him'Ajin' if he wanted to see Xiao Baozi.

Regarding the life of Master Hui, Li Jin made a special trip to ask Wan Yun.

Seeing Li Jin's serious question, Wan Yun laughed and said, "This is the first time I have seen you interested in this kind of question, but Master Lihui made a special inscription for you. You should know more about him."

But even Wan Yun, what he said was nothing but rumors about others.

He pointed out a clear path to Li Jin: "You can go to Pang Lao, he has contact with Master Hui, and he should be able to get the answer you want."

Li Jin frowned rarely, and said, "Teaching, I really don't know what Pang Lao thought."

Old Pang came to attend his crowning ceremony yesterday. Li Jin was not unexcited, but he came to the door in person with a thank-you ceremony at noon today, and he still ate behind closed doors.

Wan Yun was silent, but he just said he asked Li Jin to find Elder Pang.

He can only bite the bullet and say: "Think about it, what if this is the test of Pang Lao? You must persevere."

Li Jin said nothing, and continued to silently read.

Since getting the results of the college examination, he first went back to the village to live for a few days, and then changed his learning method, decided to read more books and expand his knowledge.

But for this expansion, Li Jin doesn't blindly read all books. The center is still centered on the content of the examination of the township examination.

The test is divided into three sessions. The first is Jingyi, the second is the application of official documents, and the third is Shice.

Jingyi is the most important one. There are seven topics in total, of which four books are three topics, and the five classics are four.[Note]

Therefore, the most basic is the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", but the test for students is not as simple as before.

The teachings of Class A said in the first class that the township examination pays more attention to students combining the actual situation of the dynasty with the thoughts of the saints based on their existing knowledge.

Li Jin has also learned about some widely spread test questions, such as "Gong Suizhi Bohai, Yu Xuzhi Chaoge Theory". The former comes from the "Han Shu·Gong Sui Biography", which tells about the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. There was a famine near the Bohai Sea. Recommend Gong Sui to take care of things.

At this time, some people's scriptures can even spread to the emperor's meritocracy. Of course, this is pure flattery.

Therefore, Li Jin bought a set of essays on local customs. He thought that only by knowing enough about the local situation can he start with how to manage and write articles with real content.

In fact, in this case, a combination of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is the best way.

Li Jin intends to learn enough theoretical knowledge first, and then go out and see if he has a chance later.

In the afternoon, Li Jin re-studied the book that had been copied and silent for dozens of times. This time he didn't read any comments added by anyone, but savored the meaning word by word.

When there was a little quotation from the scriptures, Li Jin went to the bookshelf to find the scriptures he had cited, so that he could understand it thoroughly.

In addition, according to the governance methods of the ancestors, in conjunction with current policies, they came up with strategies that are useful for today's empirical evidence.

When it was time to go back, Li Jin found that he had already memorized a lot of sheets of paper, but the content on it was very scattered, and most of it was sent out by him.

Wan Jiaoyu was just about to go to Li Jin's house to have a meal, and when he saw Li Jin sitting by the window struggling to write, his brows were still frowned.

He thought Li Jin was still thinking about how to impress Pang Lao, and wanted to step forward to comfort him.

But standing behind Li Jin, Wan Jiaoyu couldn't help but let go of his breath.

Although Li Jin’s displayed strategy and theories are not so profound, as long as he sums up these ideas, it will be an excellent stereotype!

Wan Jiaoyu thought that it took Li Jin not long after finishing the college exam, and he completely changed his thinking about answering papers.

However, Li Jin did not, like many people, only sing praises for high-ranking people. His focus is all on how to effectively prevent and manage disasters.

Such a person is a natural doer, suitable for imperial examinations and more suitable for officials.

Li Jin didn't know what Wan Yun was thinking. He sorted out the papers and planned to go back and sort them out.After getting up, he found Wan Jiaoyu standing behind him.

Li Jin: "...to eat?"

Wan Yun touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Okay."

At Li Jin's house, Chen Xiran took Mr. Song around Fucheng for a day, and bought a bunch of gadgets for the buns by the way.

It was almost dinner time, and Chen Xiran and Mr. Song were sitting in the outer courtyard drinking tea.

"Xiuzhi has changed a lot now." Mr. Song thought about it all night, but couldn't help but say it. "He didn't even have a book basket at the beginning. He was carrying a bamboo basket to attend classes all day, and his meals were still in the box. "

Even meals are potatoes, dried cakes and the like.

Chen Xiran was happy for Li Jin in his heart: "Yes, he is qualified to buy a house in Fucheng after taking the double case test. Now he lives here with his family, and there is a maid waiting on him."

As the two were talking, Li Jin opened the door for Wan Yun and invited him in.

When Li Jin was crowned yesterday, Mr. Song took the opportunity to toast Wan Yun. Wan Yun knew that this man was Li Jin's enlightenment teacher and was very polite to him, and even agreed to visit him the next day.

Of course, it is likely that it is mainly just to eat rice.

But this also made Mr. Song extremely excited.On the first day of April, Li Jin sent him and Chen Xiran on the ferry early in the morning, and he speeded up his pace toward the academy.

Wan Yun was sent away last night, Chen Xiran and Mr. Song also rested in the outer courtyard, Li Jin and Qin Muwen quietly tried to make tofu in the kitchen... Jiang Shilang tofu.

Mainly Qin Muwen is doing it and Li Jin is studying.After doing it, Li Jin also tried to do it himself.

Therefore, breakfast on the second day had two plates of tofu.

After just practicing for a few days, the taste that Li Jin made was finally not bad.

On the eighth day of April, when he was not on duty, Li Jin brought the prepared ingredients and gave the chef ten cents, wanting to borrow a stove.

There are many stoves in the kitchen room. Seeing that Li Jin had given money and brought his own ingredients, the man just approved it.

At noon that day, Li Jin was carrying the Jiang Shilang tofu he made, and knocked on the door of Old Pang.

The old man raised his eyebrows, and Li Jin usually came to him after eating. Why did he come to bother him today without waiting for someone to eat?

Thinking about this, he went and opened the door first.

"You are so ignorant of the young... Jiang Shilang tofu?"

Li Jin nodded, "Late students heard that Mr. Yuhang often lived in Yuhang when he was young, and the food there was a bit sweet and light, so he learned this dish and made a special trip to add dishes to Mr.

He never mentioned the crowning ceremony, because Li Jin had already felt that the old man was actually not as cold as the rumors, he was just...arrogant and awkward.

With a look of nostalgia, Old Pang took the initiative to give up his seat to Li Jin: "Come in."

Li Jin was surprised: "Sir?" Didn't he take the food directly?

"I have cooked a lot of rice here, and with your dish, how can you finish it? You can't eat it with more chopsticks."

After Li Jin went in, he found that Mr. Chen Yiding was there. This person said directly, "You have to listen to what Pang said. What he wants to say is that you go back to the chef now and you have no food to eat. If you stay with me They eat together."

"Thank you two gentlemen."

Chen Yiding knew enough about Pang Lao and saw that he already had the intention of accepting a disciple, so he left directly after eating, lest he stayed here and Pang Lao couldn't make a difference.

After Elder Pang finished eating, he waited for Li Jin to give tea to his teacher, and then his stones came in handy.

Li Jin really served tea obediently as Pang Lao imagined, but his next sentence was: "Late Sheng heard that Mr. Hui had a relationship with Master Hui, dare to ask Mr. Why did Master Hui give the inscription to the late student?"

Old Pang: "?"

Old Pang took a sip of tea and almost choked to death because of Li Jin's words.

He coughed for a long time before he said, "His man is babbling, and the inscription may have arisen by accident. When I was young, he was just an ordinary monk who gave people fortune-telling. But at that time everyone was poor. Ah, no one wants to divide the rations.

I was practicing hand skills in the mountains and hit a rabbit. When I saw him pitifully, I shared it with him.He insisted on telling me that I would become a calligrapher in the future."

It's amazing to say that the monk clearly didn't know that he was practicing calligraphy, but he just figured it out.

Old Pang continued: "However, who can count destiny for a lifetime? Hui is not counted as my wife and children, but I am still alone in my 50s or 60s. Therefore, his fortune telling is always ineffective. , Otherwise he wouldn't run out every day when he was old, for fear that the emperor would see him and take him to calculate the national fortune. Poor old man."

Li Jin: "..." Said the legendary master?

Old Pang said, "I told you this for the sake of your apprenticeship. By the way, you are not allowed to talk about that old monk who loves to eat meat..."

Wait, apprentice?

Bye?

Li Jin reacted quickly and quickly poured another cup of tea, kneeling down to offer tea to his teacher.

Old Pang gritted his teeth: "You are not allowed to say anything about today, I am your master!"

Li Jin bowed his head, hiding his smile in his eyes: "Students obey orders."

He originally wanted to apprentice a teacher, but if Elder Pang refused to accept it, he would not force it. After all, this kind of thing is about your wish.

At this time, if he doesn't apprentice a teacher, he is a big fool.

After Li Jin returned home, Xiao Baozi broke free from his father's arms, stepped on the ground with his short legs, and walked towards him.

Li Jin gave the book basket to Xiaocha, squatted down by himself, and put the small bun on the spot.

Originally thought Xiao Baozi would give his father a kiss, and then held his neck softly and acted like a baby.

As a result, when Xiao Baozi was one meter away from Li Jin, he wrinkled his little nose: "Daddy, smelly."

Then Li Jin watched his little cub ran back into the cub's arms.

Li Jin stood up, only to realize that he smelled of ink.

It's just that the smell of ink is too strong, so it's a bit rushing.

But it was not smelly, it was the kind of slightly fragrant ink. After he became a teacher today, he was left by Pang Lao to practice calligraphy by the pool, and he practiced for a whole afternoon before letting him go.

The little bun rubbed his dad in his arms and said, "Daddy, take a shower."
