He Shen

Yu Zicheng checked Jiabao's homework. After Jiabao finished reciting the book, he saluted and ran away impatiently.

Yu Zicheng was really curious about how Shanbao taught Jiabao to study, which opened up this stubborn stone.However, Yu Zicheng has no interest in teaching Jiabao, and the stubborn stone is also a stone, and he picked up the schoolwork of Shanbao, which is the beauty of the Niu Hulu family.

In Yu Zicheng's opinion, Shanbao's articles still have many deficiencies, but considering Shanbao's age, it is quite rare.Manchus have always valued martial arts and despised literature, and it is strange for someone like Shanbao to study hard.

"It's cloudy today, so Yuan Che shouldn't work hard." Jun Bao just came down to court, his official hat was off the most, and his official robes were not changed. Eyes hurt."

"Brother is back." Yu Zicheng put down the manuscript in his hand and got up to greet him.

"Huh? I heard that you were checking that kid's homework? Why did he run away when he heard me come back?" Because of the cold weather, Junbao's official uniform was covered with a black fox fur coat awarded by the court. He was still young. Light, handsome, looking at Yu Zicheng with a smile in his eyes.

Yu Zicheng gave up his seat and said with a smile, "Perhaps you can smell it. Jiabao just finished memorizing the book, and just stepped out of my courtyard door, brother, you came in with the back foot."

Yu Zicheng's concubine, Feng Shi, made tea and brought it in. Jun Bao smiled, "I'm really thirsty." After taking a sip, he said in surprise, "It's fragrant, clear but not weak, good tea. Where did you get it?" Good tea?"

"It was sent by Shanbao." Yu Zicheng smiled and tasted it slowly, "They said they got it from outside, but they only got two small cans, and gave one to me."

"Hey! Boy, if you don't honor me with good things, I'll give them to you." Jun Bao scolded with a smile, and asked, "By the way, I asked Shan Bao to show you some of his recent homework. How's it going?"

"It's a coincidence that now Xian'an Palace is teaching Wu Shenglan, who is from my hometown. He is also well-known in his hometown and has a family background." Wu Zicheng took Shanbao's classwork, "at Shanbao's age, Although the words used in the article are immature, but the idea is novel, insightful, and detailed, and a few years of hard study will be promising."

Jun Bao smiled and straightened his back, "So, can you win the exam?"

"Brother." Yu Zicheng laughed, "I can't guarantee that. There are only so many students who take the exam every year. Some people can get in at a young age. Some people have studied hard for many years, and they have a poor head and poor experience. It’s still white. Su Laoquan said, “It’s easy for an old man to ascend the sky; it’s difficult for a child to pass the exam.” According to the degree of good protection, in a few years, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to win the exam.”

Jun Bao tapped his knee unconsciously with his index finger, complaining, "It's not like you didn't say anything."

"My elder brother, did you know the outcome before your soldiers and horses moved when you fought?" Yu Zicheng smiled and looked sideways at Junbao, "Elder brother is too eager to see his nephew Jackie Chan. Dou Fang, show Big Brother."

Jun Bao waved his hands and said with a smile, "You know I'm only good at juggling with knives and sticks, and I can't boast to the point. Don't despise elder brother for being rude."

Yu Zicheng fetched it, and unfolded it slowly, "Where, elder brother has always had a unique vision." Yu Zicheng is a literati, and he has a literati temper. Once he wrote a letter for Jun Bao to read, and Jun Bao read it again and again, holding back for a long time He said, "This writing paper is pretty good." Yu Zicheng was so angry that he ignored Junbao for three days, and never talked to Junbao again.

"Well, Chengchezhai, if you put this on the outside, you will know it is Yuan Che's house at a glance." Jun Baoshi had a headache, and praised indiscriminately, "The writing is also energetic and bright. Eh, there is a fragrance, how did this come about?" of?"

Yu Zicheng felt a little complacent, coughed lightly, put the bucket away, and said Shi Shiran, "Shanbao gave me an ancient pine smoke ink, this ink mixed with water to make ink, it naturally has a cool fragrance, you Looking at those words just now, they are as bright as splashed paint, which is much brighter than before, huh?"

Jun Bao patted his green scalp, scratched it, and sighed, "It's really innate. Look at Shanbao, he is born to do things and is pleasing to people. Fubao Jiabao is still chaotic."

"Heaven will send a great mission to human beings. They must first suffer their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what they can't do." Yu Zicheng smiled. I can't take it seriously, "Shanbao's method is also learned from life experience. Fubao is protected by Shanbao, and Jiabao grew up under your wings. It is inevitable that he is a bit naive."

Jun Bao sat with his legs spread apart, drank the tea in one gulp, and said with a smile, "The tree is big and straight, so there is no need to worry. There is one Shanbao, and there is already smoke from the ancestral grave. All as you wish."

Yu Zicheng sat down again, refilling his cup of tea for the king, and said, "Brother doesn't like reading, so why are you in such a hurry to let Shanbao take the imperial examination? He is studying in Xian'an Palace now, and he will take the exam for a student in the future." , the same promotion."

Jun Bao held the teacup and looked at Yu Zicheng with a smile. He had no deep meaning, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Yuan Che couldn't guess."

Yu Zicheng smiled, "Little brother has been with elder brother for many years, and I also heard that the emperor loves talents."

"Yes, I love talent." Jun Bao smiled. The room was tidied up warmly, and he simply got up and took off his fur coat, "My current official position was achieved by fighting with swords and guns on the battlefield, and it is mediocre in government affairs. Those who have already been transferred back to Beijing, and there are still these young people at home, the possibility of me going to the battlefield is not high, and the official position is like this."

"Brother doesn't look like someone who says such depressing words." Yu Zicheng smiled.

"It's the truth." Jun Bao smiled with the candidness unique to warriors, "I'm a straight-hearted man, Yuan Che, you are aloof and clean, don't you think you've taken a liking to Shanbao's city?"

Yu Zicheng wasn't embarrassed when he was beaten by humanity, "I'm always a little bit worried now that my brother is talking."

"Shanbao brought you tea and ink, do you like it?" Junbao muttered, Yu Zicheng was embarrassed at his age, and said in a bad mood, "I can be bribed so easily?"

"Well, tell me this again in two years." Jun Bao smiled, raised his hand and patted the back of Yu Zicheng's hand comfortingly, "This is a kind of talent, Yuan Che. You have talent , but refused to bow down for the powerful, and resigned to go into seclusion; as for me, as a general, now I am doing civil work, although I can see the way here, but compared with the few adults in front of the imperial court, I am crude and direct. Shengmu. Shanbao is different. He reads well, has a harmonious personality, is quite honest, and is good at forbearance. You don’t enter the court, because the current emperor likes poetry and poetry, and the gang of Hanlin seem to be frightened. "

Jun Bao was quite disdainful, "I'm not talking about you, you are doing practical things. Although I don't like those nerds, I have to admit that the Holy One likes scholars. Lord Agui of the court was born in the imperial examination and is a serious Jinshi. He is highly valued. Wang Jie, the young champion of imperial examinations in the upper realm, is also in front of the imperial edict. He is not a big official, and everyone respects him three points."

"Shanbao, the three brothers, and Fubao Jiabao are not study materials. They will definitely be military officers in the future, but you must know that military officers rarely stay in the capital. If they are released, someone must be in the court." Junbao rubbed his thumb. Looking at the jade ring finger on the table, he thought thoughtfully, "Our father and grandfather survived for several generations to have a third-class Lieutenant of the Light Carriage, which is no different from a rich family. There are no in-laws who are too dignified. Come to me and survive to be the Minister of the Ministry of War." , is already a fluke, thanks to Yuan Che for your help on weekdays."

Yu Zicheng said, "Big brother is outrageous when he says that."

Jun Bao smiled, "What are you heretics? How many years have we been brothers before I can tell you what is in my heart. You have stepped half a foot into this officialdom, and you know all the filth inside. If you don't climb up, you will be trampled to death." I am already like this, so I have to think about their brothers. Shanbao is long-sleeved, good at dancing, and has a good face, which is the basic requirement for an official. Since he is a good student, if he can pass the Jinshi exam, he is still young, and the emperor should pay more attention. Worry about not being prominent in the future. Fu Bao Jia Bao will take care of me, otherwise, if the two of them go out to be officials, I really can't let go of my heart."

"You say I'm in a hurry, can you not be in a hurry? 20-year-old and 30-year-old are completely different."

"Well, what if I miss this?" Yu Zicheng was still "not thinking about winning, but about losing first", reminding Jun Bao who was rattling the beads in his abacus.

Jun Bao looked natural, "It's okay if you don't win. I'm the Minister of the Ministry of War. Let him enter the Ministry of War. I'll take care of him. He will be promising in a few years. By the way, Yuan Che, are you free?" Teach Shanbao to write poems and lyrics."

"Where is the free time?" Yu Zicheng said, "He has to go to Xian'an Palace during the day, and bring you bow and arrow practice when he comes home in the afternoon, until dinner, and give Jiabao homework in the evening."

"Oh, I'll go and tell Shanbao to come over at night. Jiabao doesn't need to take the number one exam if he doesn't want to read. Let him continue to read with you during the day."

Junbao's affairs never dragged on until the next day, and he mentioned them to Shanbao after dinner.

Shanbao was slightly surprised, and smiled, "Second Uncle, I never read at night."

"Why?" Don't people say that Han Chuang studies hard?So unmotivated.

"Does reading at night hurt your eyes? I'm tired after reading all day, so I rest at night." Shanbao touched Jiabao's smooth forehead, "Reading books of sages and sages to Jiabao is like telling a story. It's over."

Jun Bao rubbed his hands, looking forward to it, "Shanbao, have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination?"

"Well, I told Mr. Yu that I will try to take the scholar examination next year. The husband said that my essays are still not enough, and I should be [-]% sure. But it's not the test now. It's next year. I'll practice first." Shanbao peeled an orange and handed it to Xueya.

"Thank you big brother."

The maid served tea, but Jun Bao was not in the mood to drink tea, "Since there are still deficiencies, you should work harder. I heard from Liu Hua, a member of the yamen, that his son does not study until midnight every day. It will not be extinguished. The ancient man, who was poor, had to use the fire to read when he made a package of fireflies? There was also a man who dug through the walls of other people’s houses to steal light and wanted to read. You see, for the sake of reading, he did such immoral things. , it can be seen that people are hardworking."

Xueya laughed first, "Ama, you're talking about the story of 'Firefly Bag Yingxue' and 'Cutting the Wall to Steal Light'?"

"Yes, my daughter is really knowledgeable." Junbao boasted, and said to Shanbao, "Our family is not difficult enough to tell you to catch fireflies. If you are afraid of hurting your eyes, light a few more candles. Since you want to end, You have to make the best preparations. This exam is the same as fighting a war. You can win a war with a strong army. You have to work hard for a few months first, and then teach Jiabao after you are selected as a scholar."

Jiabao immediately made a bitter face, and Shanbao took the tea to Junbao, and smiled with his eyes bent, "Second uncle, don't worry, Mr. Yu said that he is [-]% sure, so I am at least [-]% sure. Studying does not happen overnight. Thing, the ancestors said, "If there is persistence, why bother to sleep at three o'clock and get up at five o'clock". This is not a monk chanting scriptures. It is not that the longer the time, the better. The key is to pay attention. My nephew knows your heart and will redouble his efforts. You Let me read at night, I will not have a good rest, which will affect the spirit of the next day, so that reading will not be as efficient as before. It may take two hours to memorize articles that can be memorized in one hour. The most fearful fatigue in the art of war Soldiers attack by force, rest when tired, work and rest are compatible, don't you think?"

Jun Bao was dumbfounded, "I'll let you study at night, why are you pleading so much nonsense?"

"Second Uncle, didn't I discuss this with you? If you are free in the evening, it would be nice for us to talk and laugh as a family." Shanbao sat in the chair, flicked his sleeves, squeezed the folds on the sleeves, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I have a sense of proportion. If I'm not sure, I won't end. You just wait to hear my good news."

Shanbao spoke confidently, but Junbao hesitated, "Is Yuan Che sure about this? I told you to work harder, and I meant to be more sure."

"People are different from each other. Su Xun said that it is difficult for him, but for his son Su Shi and Su Che, it is as simple as bending down to pull up grass from the ground." Shan Baotian had a reliable face. Look each other straight in the eye, full of confidence inside.

"He's really a scholar, he said the same thing." Junbao slandered, Shanbao said so much, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to tell him again, he was really worried.Chased the little ones to play in Shanbao’s yard, and complained to his wife, “Humph, you look cute, you’re born with old ideas. If you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you’ll suffer in front of your eyes. When he fails the ranking, you can’t let him like this.”

Dong E smiled, "You are so worried. I think Shanbao is meticulous in his work, and his studies are not far behind. Don't worry. Jiabao is learning to speak Mandarin and Mongolian. Shanbao is willing to take the little brothers to play. Son, it’s a good thing. Even my daughter often goes there at night. Originally, Shanbao went to school during the day. I was worried that their brothers and sisters would be estranged. Entering an official in the same way as making up a pen and post."

"A woman's opinion." Jun Bao suddenly realized that he had strayed from the topic, and said to himself, "I want to talk to him about composing poetry."
