Wear It with Space - Chapter 24

When Shen Ling wrote another article, he referred to the techniques in one of the articles in one of the books. The next day he sent out an article he had read, and Shen Ling found that the red circle was drawn a little more than the day before. The comment this time was about the fictitious and true of the composition anyway.

Soon, Shen Ling felt that he had gradually touched the doorway of composition, and the essays he wrote seemed decent. However, as Zheng Ming’s attitude towards him changed from being inattentive to paying more attention to him, Shen Ling became more certain of this fact.

This afternoon, when Shen Ling returned home from the school, he found that Zheng Tang had been waiting for him for a while. Since Shen Ling sent him thirty taels of silver that day, Zheng Tang stopped going to the school and started to come to the bookstore wholeheartedly.

The two exchanged a few words in front of Huang’s face, and Shen Ling led him to his study.

“I came to you this time for the bookstore.” Zheng Tang quickly expressed his intentions, “I have already negotiated the store, but I don’t know what to name it.”

After Zheng Tang finished speaking, he reported a few more names and asked Shen Ling which one he thought was better.

Shen Ling thought for a while, “What do you think of this name, Wen Han Pavilion.”

Zheng Tang said the name over and over several times, and finally said: “Yes, it’s elegant and elegant, it’s it.”

After the two discussed the bookstore name, Shen Ling asked him what happened to his marriage.

A smile bloomed on Zheng Tang’s face: “It’s already been decided. I will pass this winter.”

After hearing this, Shen Ling smiled immediately: “Then I will congratulate you here first.”

The two talked about the bookstore again, and it was dinner time soon. Shen Ling invited Zheng Tang to stay for dinner.

Because there were more guests, Zheng Tang, Mrs. Li cooked a few more dishes, including the fish and shrimps that Shen Ling brought back.

Zheng Tang ate a few mouthfuls of the braised fish made by Mrs. Li and praised it for its deliciousness. Then he said, “I remembered something when I saw this fish. When I passed by my husband’s residence the other day, I saw Zheng Qiao’s father brought a servant into the house. , The servant holds a few fresh fish in his hands and thinks it is for Mr. Zheng. No wonder Mr. favors Zheng Qiao.”

Zheng Tang had said so casually, but Shen Ling’s heart moved slightly after hearing it. When he was thinking of a chance to send Zheng Ming some fresh fish and shrimp, Lan Zhu, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up and walked out.

Huang asked her what to do, but she didn’t answer. Shen Ling stood up and was about to take a look, but suddenly heard a retching sound from the yard. Shen Ling was stunned. Huang suddenly understood and immediately stood up and walked out.

However, after a while, Huang Clan took Lan Zhu back to the room. Shen Ling’s face had returned to normal, so he asked Lan Zhu where he was still uncomfortable, and asked Zhue’er to go to the doctor.

Not long after the doctor came over, he rejoiced after finishing the pulse, and the guess in Shen Ling’s heart became a fact, and all of a sudden, he felt everything in his heart.

After the doctor and Zheng Tang left one after another, Shen Ling returned to the wing and looked at Lan Zhu, who looked a lot softer under the light, and couldn’t help thinking, that’s all right. After having children, I still have at least one year to escape the matter between husband and wife.

Lan Zhu gently stroked her stomach, looked up to see her husband there in a daze, and couldn’t help asking: “Why, don’t you like our children? I think you looked a little bit wrong after hearing the news.”

Shen Ling said hurriedly: “Why don’t I like it, it’s just that the news comes so suddenly, it always feels like a dream.”

Lan Zhu smiled slightly and said, “In fact, there have been signs these days, but I didn’t care about it.”

Shen Ling sat down beside her and asked in a gentle voice: “Then do you feel better now? Is there anything you want to eat?”

Lan Zhu shook his head and said, “It’s still a little sick, and I don’t want to eat anything.”

When Shen Ling used to read novels, it contained various pregnancy reactions of pregnant women, some of which were mild and some were serious. Looking at Lan Zhu’s situation now, I am afraid she will suffer a bit of sin in the first three months.

Shen Ling was right. Lan Zhu was just a little nauseous and retching at first, but slowly developed to the point where he vomited and vomited.

Shen Ling now went home and didn’t dare to mention fish and shrimps, for fear that Lan Zhu would vomit worse when he smelled the fishy smell. Unable to take it home, Shen Ling simply tried to send the extra fish and shrimp to Zheng Ming’s house. The servant who collected the fish and shrimp heard that Shen Ling was Zheng Ming’s student and asked for his name. In the end, he smiled and praised him for his will. Only then did Shen Ling know that Zheng Ming liked to eat fish very much. If there was a fish dish on the dinner table, he would definitely eat an extra bowl of rice.

So then Shen Ling sent fish and shrimps to Zheng Ming’s house several times. The servant saw that Shen Ling had come more often, so he sometimes said something to him. Shen Ling knew from his mouth that Zheng Ming had instructed him that if the guests who came to the door were carrying things such as fish and shrimps, they would accept them with a smile, and if they were carrying valuable things, they would definitely not accept them. under.

After going to Zheng Ming’s house several times in this way, Shen Ling realized that Zheng Ming’s attitude towards him was much better. When checking the recitation every morning, I would also ask him how he understood the original text.

Shen Ling answered truthfully every time, to understand is to understand, not to understand is not to understand. This answer won Zheng Ming’s heart. He saw Shen Ling’s eyes become more and more gentle, and sometimes he would stop in front of him and point him a few words.

Such a move is tantamount to showing everyone that he has classified Shen Ling as the kind of student who is more valued by him.

Soon, Shen Ling found that the few students sitting in the front began to become friendly towards him. In their spare time, they would also exchange their understanding of the scriptures with him.

However, sometimes Shen Ling could still detect their slight contempt for himself from their tone of voice, but he didn’t care. Since you don’t expect to be true friends with these people, then why care about their thoughts.

Slowly, a few classmates who were also collateral disciples like him began to show kindness to him. The homework of these classmates is very good, much better than the previous Zheng Feng, and on par with Shen Ling. When Shen Ling saw that they had a sincere friendship, he invited these people to a small restaurant for a meal at noon one day.

After going back and forth like this, Shen Ling also figured out the temperaments of these people, and quickly walked with one of them named Zheng Huai.

Zheng Huai’s family background is the same as Zheng Feng’s family. Among his classmates, he is considered middle and upper. There are several shops in the family and dozens of acres of land in the countryside.

However, Shen Ling didn’t walk with him because Zheng Huai had the same family background as him. Instead, he felt that Zheng Huai had a good character. Although there was some bookishness, he treated people with sincerity.

This Zheng Huai article is as full of bookishness as he is a human being. In the year he went for the examination, Xuezheng, who presided over the examination, liked the old and hot writing articles. Although Zheng Huai did a good job in his essays, he still failed the examination. He was just a child.

However, even though he was only a child, he was stronger than Shen Ling’s white body.

Shen Ling got a lot of information about the county examination and the government examination from him, and then asked him about the county and government examination questions for that year, and he was ready to go home and study it carefully.

In the year Zheng Huai took the test, he took five examinations in both the county and government examinations. The contents of the examinations were Moyi, Ba Gu, policy questions, essays, and poems.

Among them, Moyi selects sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics for candidates to answer, or asks to answer the meaning of this sentence, or asks to answer the next sentence, or asks to answer a comment, similar to today’s name explanation or short answer question.

Zheng Huai remembered not many questions about Mo Yi, only two or three. Shen Ling did these two or three questions once and found that it was easy for him with a better memory.

Then there is the eight-legged style, which is a style that Shen Ling writes every afternoon now. After these days of practice, his stereotyped writing is pretty good.

Then there are policy questions. Generally, all questions are related to politics, economy, culture, and government officials at the time. Candidates can write their own opinions or suggestions, which is equivalent to an argument for later generations.

Shen Ling has been studying for so many years, so naturally he has written thesis. It’s just that he has never written an essay on economic governance, let alone discussing current political issues and then writing some suggestions to the court.

This seems to be his weakness.

The following essays and poems are relatively simple for Shen Ling.

The essay is equivalent to the practical essay of later generations. During the examination, the frequently used articles, tables, arguments, and praise are given as genres for candidates to compose.

Not to mention poems. When Shen Ling was in college, the teacher who taught them ancient literature not only asked everyone to memorize an ancient poem every day, but also asked them to hand in a poem or poem or poem that they had made every month. .

Although after graduation, Shen Ling rarely did Yaxing write poems and lyrics, but the foundation that year was still there, he still had no problem coping with the exam.

It seems that his only problem now is policy theory.
