People often use the sentence "blue smoke from the ancestral grave to express their envy of a person's achievements."

This shows that the ancestral tomb is very important in everyone's heart. The Chu family originally came from the escape and lacked some background. If the ancestral tomb is still like this after the Chu family became prosperous, then it would not be in line with the Chu family's identity.

The more Chu Ci goes up, the more he will pay attention to him, so he cannot relax his words and deeds at all, and he will give people a flaw. Just like today, he has just relaxed a little, but immediately became verbal.

It's right.

If you have successful careers but do not repair your ancestral tombs, then Chu Ci will definitely be criticized and then labeled as unfilial.

But at present, the most important thing is to sacrifice first.

Chu Guang took the sickle and walked over, cut off all the weeds on the grave and throw them aside, then picked up a hoe and dug a circle of drainage ditches around the grave.

Chu Xiaoyuan picked up a stack of yellow paper and pressed it around the grave. The last few pieces of paper were climbed to the grave and pressed on it. Chu Ci was stunned by his operation.

What does it mean?

"Waiter, let me go." Chu Guang patted Chu Ci's shoulder, then added a large pile of soil shoveled off the hoe to the grave, standing tall.

Well, this is probably the meaning of sesame blossoming higher and higher? Chu Ci thought so.

Chu Ci has never participated in such a sacrifice. No matter where they are, they will go to the cemetery with a few bouquets of flowers, bow and offer flowers, and say a few words.

Seeing that Chu Ci was at a loss, Chu Guang looked around, helped find something to do, and said, "Waiter, put out the sacrificial things."

Chu Ci nodded and responded. He found that there were several plates of things in the basket. After he took them out, he saw clearly that there was a dried fish, a piece of meat strips two fingers wide, and a few round pieces, like

Something was made of flour, but the whole thing was green. Chu Ci guessed that this should be the green bun, right?

He placed these things respectfully in front of him, then took out a small wine pot and poured three glasses of wine into the small cup. Chu Guang lit incense and candles, and distributed the incense to them, and the three of them knelt on the grave.

Before, Chu Guang was muttering something like "blessing", and then talked about what happened at home over the past year.

After the sacrifice, they went to the other two graves to repeat their actions just now.

Before leaving, Chu Ci suddenly said, "I have something to say to my father, you can go to the tree in front to wait for me first!"

Chu Guang nodded and took Xiaoyuan to leave first. Chu Ci turned around, walked forward a few steps, and knelt down with a plop: "I wonder if you have seen him? If you really have a spirit, you should

I know that I am not your son, but a lonely soul from another world. Your son is very outstanding, but God is jealous of talent and makes him die of illness. If he is with you, remember to take care of him more.

Let's get him clear."

After thinking about it, Chu Ci said again: "You don't have to worry too much about the world. As long as I'm in one day, I will try my best to protect them. In addition, I will also study hard, study hard, and let the Chu family go.

His reputation spread throughout the Great Wei Dynasty. By the way, Xiaoyuan, I will encourage him to make progress and make him the backbone of the court in the future."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, he kowtowed to the opposite side three times. At this time, a breeze blew, as if a hand was stroking Chu Ci's head, and his heart suddenly relaxed, as if something had left.

When the mountain went down, the sun rose high and the weather became hotter. When passing a hillside, Chu Ci saw a large area of ​​peach blossoms from afar. Perhaps because the mountain was relatively high, the peach blossoms had not yet withered and looked very

The beauty.

There are also a few peach trees in the back mountain of the county school. The peach blossoms on it have long faded, and peaches the size of fingernails have emerged. Zhang Wenhai was ready to whip his hands and said that he must eat the peaches on the trees this year.

After returning home, Chu Ci took out the repair of the ancestral tomb and discussed it with everyone. Chu Guang and others also agreed very much. They had never thought about this before. Now they thought that they should have repaired three tombs.

If they want to startle the ground and alarm their ancestors, they must also find a land immortal to ask about the day. If they don’t choose a good day, they will anger their ancestors and will be of no use to their descendants.

Last time their family wanted to build a house, they asked Dixian. Now the day to choose is coming, and the old house in their home can be pushed down and rebuilt. They still live in their own homes, but they are about to move in.

The neighbor's empty house is already in it.

Shen Xiuniang's belly became bigger and bigger, and the child in her belly was probably about to be born in more than a month. Uncle Chu did what she said, saying that she would ask Aunt Chu to come back to take care of her after Qingming Festival.

Since Chu Ci found a county government office for him, Aunt Chu's status at home has improved. Whether it is her parents-in-law or sister-in-law, she has spoken to her more gently than before. Aunt Chu is a gentle and gentle person.

I never kept their occasional complaints in my heart. Now that they are willing to show goodwill, she will not do anything wrong and act like before, which makes everyone look higher and I am really convinced by her.

Because there will be a monthly exam tomorrow, they will have to rush back to school after lunch. The lunch is the green dumpling I saw in the morning. They steamed a large pot yesterday and prepared to eat it today.

This thing is cold and smells of mugwort. It is filled with wild vegetable filling, which makes it a bit sticky. Chu Ci is not used to eating it, and he thinks that the hot ones should taste better.

However, during the Cold Food Festival, it is naturally a cold food. No family will activate the stove. Even the emperor has to eat cold food today.

The Kou family's carriage was always outside, and the coachman had relatives here, and he came over after dinner.

Chu Ci and Chu Xiaoyuan walked into the carriage and returned to the county school.

April 5th, monthly exam.

In order to prevent students from cheating to the greatest extent, their monthly exams were not conducted in their own classrooms. Instead, the three classes A, B and C were mixed together and sat in the hall of the Xianxian Pavilion. Someone had accumulated them before.

The tables were lined up, and then the students from Class A, B and C were seated one by one.

Behind Chu Ci was a student from Class A, and in front of him was a student from Class B. The student from Class B turned around and smiled and stopped talking. The Chu Ci from Class A was not very familiar with him, and I think it should be the back.

Up.

He followed the former and smiled at the student behind him. He didn't want to talk to him, but who knew that the student said with surprise: "Brother Chu, in Xu Jian, Xia Nai Changhe Town, I have long admired Brother Chu's name, and I can share with Brother Chu's today

I am really lucky to sit in the same place to take the exam.”

Chu Ci felt that "if you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief." He was a little disliked by this man's face, and he looked cunning with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. So he thought to himself, does this man want to copy him? So he exchanged some greetings and turned around.

go.

After the bell rang three times, the teachers came to hand over the paper. There were three questions on the paper, two four-book questions, and one five-classic question. Because the students did not want to be the same in this sutra, there were five questions here, just put yourself in the

The title of this sutra is drawn, and the other four are ignored.

When Chu Ci saw the first question, his heart skipped a beat because this question was exactly what they did the night before yesterday, "Be careful and pursue the far-reaching people's morality will be strong."

He couldn't help but look around, but found that everyone on that night looked in surprise. Zhang Wenhai, the questioner, was no exception. He stared at the question, opened his mouth wide, and looked in disbelief, then

It was ecstasy. I didn’t expect that he could guess this question after only reading the sample book once. It was incredible!

Actually, it is easy to understand, because the day before was Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival was the day to worship ancestors, and it is indeed related to the title "be careful and pursue the distance". There is nothing wrong with thinking about a title that suits the time and situation.

.

Since it is a question you have done, there is no need to worry about anything anymore. Chu Ci went over the first question and looked at the second question. The second question is a sentence above the doctrine of the mean, "A gentleman acts in his position and does not want to do it.

". It is probably about being content with a gentleman and not doing what he should not do in his current position.

After reading the topic, Chu Ci thought about it for a while, and probably got the foundation. He ground ink and spread paper and wrote a sentence below: "Since you come, you will be safe." This is the sentence to solve the topic. Since you have done it,

Then you must calm down and do your work well, which is consistent with the meaning of the previous topic.

He chose a Spring and Autumn title for the Five Classics, "Don't cover up the great virtues with just one slight mistake." This means that one should not erase his great merits with a person's minor mistakes.

This topic is relatively flexible. Chu Ci thought quietly for a while, and then wrote the sentence "No one has any mistakes, but if you correct them, you should encourage them."

After breaking all three questions, Chu Ci began to solve the problem on the draft paper. He put his whole body and mind on the exam, his thoughts were like a fountain, and his writing was like a god. In less than an hour, he finished three articles.

.

After careful examination, he put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the man behind him suddenly said something in a low voice. Chu Ci didn't want to listen more, so he sat forward and was farther away from that person. The man didn't dare to make a loud noise, so as not to be the teacher on the stage.

They found out that they had to give up.

Chu Ci took out the test paper and carefully copied the three articles on it. There was still some time left, and he thought that he could not waste it, so he simply did another question. In order to avoid accidentally being defiled by the test paper, Chu Ci put it on.

Put it on the tripod under the table and cover it with white paper.

He took out another paper and began to think about the topic that Xu Zheng assigned him last time.

Modify and modify, smear for a while, and the bell suddenly rang, and it was time to hand over the paper. Before Chu Ci started packing up, the person behind could not wait to stand up and put his own things

After packing up randomly, he rushed forward.

For some reason, he suddenly tripped under his feet and pressed down towards Chu Ci in a crooked manner.

Chu Ci hiding reflexively, finally avoiding the embarrassment of "the man under pressure", but the few pieces of paper covered on the table suffered a disaster. The scholar lay on the table and also made Chu Ci's ink cartridge.

It spilled, and the ink flowed all over the table, and the paper was dyed black in an instant.

"Brother Chu! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" The man seemed to be panicked by this development and apologized to Chu Ci repeatedly.

The instructor above frowned, walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"It's my fault to the teacher. The student's stomach was damaged during the Cold Food Festival yesterday. He had abdominal pain all morning. After finally finishing the exam, he thought about handing over the papers early to go to the toilet, but I was weak under my feet.

Brother Chu accidentally fell when he was in his position, knocking over his ink cartridge and the test paper was also damaged. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

A big man cried with a pale face, and his tears were still very sympathetic to others. Everyone thought that this was an accident and no one else could blame others, so he looked at Chu Ci and said to him

: "This incident was an accident. What are you thinking in your heart? Let's talk about it."

If Chu Ci insisted on pursuing the matter, he would probably be said to be petty and would not even let anyone go. But if he suffers from this muteness, his monthly exam results will be invalid again. The next time he will be transferred

At that time, he still had to be in Class C.

Everyone looked at Chu Ci, wanting to see how he solved this matter.

"Since this brother is suffering from abdominal pain, then go quickly. This is your unintentional mistake, so I will not blame you."

His tolerant and generous words made the teacher smile and nod. The man seemed a little shocked, and he went to the top to hand in the paper and left.

"You are used to being talented and famous. An accident is nothing to you. Let's continue working hard next time." Xiang Shi patted Chu Ci's shoulder regretfully and comforted him.

Several people who formed a club with Chu Ci looked at Chu Ci with concern, and Zhang Fang and the others gritted their teeth. Did Brother Chu be so smart, but he could only stay in Category C for one more month?
