Chapter 1365 There are so many people, it is hard to find a confidant

Hearing the "feat" of the greasy fat man's examination paper painting, Zhu Pingan couldn't calm down for a long time, unable to understand the greasy fat man's magical brain circuit.

"What kind of painting did you draw?" Liu Dadao asked curiously.

"I drew an altar, lit three pillars of incense, and dressed up in a juzi costume to worship my ancestors at home and told them the news of my success." The greasy fat man stretched out his oily fingers, removed a few dishes, and simply placed them on the table. After sketching, he quickly presented the painting he made at that time on the table in a simple but vivid way.

Fatty’s self-portrait is really vivid, with a few simple strokes, but all the energy and spirit of the fat man is imbued on it. Wearing a costume, holding three pillars of fragrance, he worships the ancestors at the altar in high spirits.

Why the examiner Lin commented that the article was too short and thick-skinned, at this point, Zhu Ping'an fully understood.

Before your exam is over, you drew a picture of yourself offering sacrifices to your ancestors. No wonder the examiner said that your writing is short-faced and thick-skinned. I guess when examiner Lin saw your exam papers and paintings, what Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang came to mind. Quote "I've never seen such a brazen person!"

You are truly worthy of the name of a genius. What you have done is unimaginable, and ordinary people will never understand it.

"This painting has both form and spirit, how wonderful, Mr. Lin is extremely pedantic! I don't know how to appreciate it!" The greasy fat man gritted his teeth.

Zhu Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to explain the taboos of the imperial examination to the fat man when he heard the greasy fat man laugh.

"Brother Hu, why are you laughing?" Zhu Pingan asked.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence. A few years later, I met old scholar Lin as the chief examiner again in the provincial examination. Don't you think my essay is too short? Who can't write a long essay? This time, I will write a long article for you to read. So I, hahaha. Not only filled the test papers, but also filled the desks and chairs. When I handed in the papers, I handed in the desks and chairs together Go up, but you didn't see that old pedant's face was green at that time."

The greasy fat man laughed and said, especially when he said that Lin's face was green, he was so high that he took off.

The corner of Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched. You are really a talent!

"Brother Hu, do you know the taboos of the imperial examination?" Zhu Pingan looked at the greasy fat man helplessly.

"Of course." The greasy fat man nodded.

"Then why are you?" Zhu Pingan said speechlessly.

"There is no need to suppress the excitement, I am such a man." The greasy fat man puffed out his chest, and said without hesitation.

Zhu Ping'an was speechless for a moment. If you are like this, how do you win the exam? !

"Of course, I suppressed it later, so I didn't do such a thing again." The greasy fat man sighed.

Zhu Ping'an heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched again, expressing his disbelief in the fat man's words. Fatty, although you are not so escaping in your behavior, you no longer draw pictures on the test papers and write compositions on the desk, but you must still be escaping in the writing of stereotyped answer sheets in the imperial examination, and carry private goods.

The Stereotype Examination takes questions from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the content must also imitate the tone of the ancients, and speak on behalf of the saints. Free expression is absolutely not allowed. You must not deviate from the scriptures, and you must not have views that violate the scriptures of the saints or disagree with the saints.

Fatty is a genius, his thinking is beyond this era, and his temperament is like this. It is too difficult for him not to carry private goods. However, if this shortcoming is not corrected, it will be difficult to win the exam! Unless you get through all the examiners and give you a green light all the way, otherwise you will be an insulator.

"Brother Hu, in the imperial examination, stereotyped essays must follow the words of the sages," Zhu Ping'an couldn't help reminding.

"Are all the words of the sage necessarily correct?" The greasy fat man turned his head, looked at Zhu Ping'an, and asked his soul, "Is the sage's words annotated by Zhu Zi and the others must be the meaning of the sage?"

Question the sage, question Zhu Xi!

You really have a lot of ideas, and your thinking surpasses most people in this era. It is true that a sage is not necessarily right, and Zhu Zi’s annotations are not necessarily what the sage intended to express, but

However, if you want to pass the imperial examination, you have to acquiesce that he is right, and acquiesce that Zhu Zi's annotations are what the sage wants to express.

This is the imperial examination correct.

"Brother Hu, the words of a sage are not necessarily correct, and Zhu Zi's annotations may not necessarily be what the sage wants to express." Zhu Pingan replied, and then reminded the fat man, "However, if Brother Hu wants to pass the imperial examination, you must It is tacitly agreed that the words of the sage are universally applicable, and Zhu Zi’s commentary is the meaning that the sage wants to express. The point of view in writing is the same as that of Zhu Zi, and there must be no contradiction.”

"You have taken a step further than Bie, but unfortunately you are still a layman. Alas, a daughter is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find."

After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, the greasy fat man's eyes lit up and then darkened again. He shook his head in disappointment and sighed.

Uh.

Am I a layman? !

Do you know capitalism? Do you know Marxism-Leninism? Do you know materialism and dialectics? Do you know philosophy? Do you know the theory of relativity? Do you know physical chemistry? you know

Hehe, believe it or not, if I just pick one out and tell you about it, it will shock you to death here.

Hearing the fat man said that he was a layman, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitched his lips.

"Hey, the world is so big, with mountains and seas of people, my confidant, where are you?! Life is as lonely as snow! This world is getting less and less cute." The greasy fat man touched the oil stains at the corner of his mouth , sighing with regret, like a lonely beast abandoned in a corner,

"Your confidant, I do know one." Zhu Pingan couldn't help saying when he saw the fat man's lost look.

"Oh, who? What qualifications does he have to be my confidant." The greasy fat man asked curiously and disbelievingly.

"This person believes in gold, is a celebrity, and has a word of Shengtan." Zhu Pingan replied.

"Jin Shengtan?! The sigh of a saint? This person's name is interesting, you didn't make up nonsense, did you?!"

The greasy fat man looked at Zhu Pingan with scorching eyes and said suspiciously.

"Jin Shengtan, a real person, I'm not lying." Zhu Pingan looked at the greasy fat man calmly, because Jin Shengtan was indeed a real person, but it was only in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties more than a hundred years later.

Seeing the calmness and firmness in Zhu Ping'an's eyes, Greasy Fatty believed that there was indeed Jin Shengtan.

"Even if there is Jin Shengtan, how can he be called my confidant?" The greasy fat man shrugged his shoulders.

The greasy fat man was very skeptical. In his opinion, his confidant in this world may not have been born yet, because at least so far, he has not met one, let alone one, not even half of them. Therefore, the greasy fat man didn't have much expectation for Jin Shengtan that Zhu Ping'an said.
