What is the main event of Ma Er in The Scholars?

Ma Er sorted out the articles of candidates who had obtained the provincial examinations over the years, collected them into books, printed them and sold them to scholars who took part in the imperial examinations as reference materials for candidates. In this way, Ma Er makes a living by selling these reference materials. In the words of Guo Gongsun, the grandson of Guo Taishou, Ma Er is a good choice. It seems that the selection of reference materials for imperial examinations was not invented by Ma Er, but by others.

Guo Gongsun Zan once helped Wang Hui, a fallen satrap. Before Wang Hui fled, she left Guo Gongsun Sheng a pillowcase with some books in it. Among them, the title is HD Autumn Poems, which is an excellent book. Guo Gongsun Sheng printed hundreds of copies of this book. After the author wrote his name, he signed his name and gave the book to relatives and friends. As a result, he became famous by this book and became a young celebrity.

Guo Gongsun, who is famous for publishing other people's masterpieces, has the same effect as Ma Er. Similarly, relying on other people's articles for profit, Guo Gongsun actually gave the book to others. He borrowed chickens to lay eggs in order to be famous, and Ma Er published essays to sell books in order to make a living.

Ma was invited to visit Guo Gongsun. It's time for lunch Ma Er showed his good appetite. He ate four bowls of rice and a big bowl of carrion. After dinner, Ma's theory of career promotion touched Guo Gongsun. Compared with Yang Zhizhong, Quan Bieyong, and Zhang Tiearm, the two sons of Loufu in front of him, it is inevitable that people think that Mr. Ma Er is also a bludger who likes to brag.

However, the latter thing makes Ma Er look tall and respectable.

Loufu slaves became officials, and Gongsun's maid, Shuanghong, was abducted. Guo Gongsun was furious. He reported to xiushui county that the county approved the arrest of Guan Cheng and Shuang Hong. This pair of bare hands has the original pillow box that Guo Gongsun gave her Wang Hui, and she also knows that Wang Hui participated in the Eight Kings Rebellion. Huancheng and Shuanghong were arrested by the police. On the way back, the police learned the secret of the pillowcase. The police colluded with the government to become a double red, reporting that Guo Gongsun had an affair with the Eight Princes. So he took the opportunity to blackmail Mi Gongsun.

Send someone to write down a rebellious form and report Guo Gongsun Sheng. However, reporting is false, and extortion of gold and silver is true. So, I sent someone to find Mi Gongsun's friend Ma Er first. He wants to shock the mountain and scare Ma Er first. Then, with the help of the horse, Guo Gongsun Sheng was forced to pay.

Ma Er saw it and was livid. He has nothing irrelevant to avoid it. On the contrary, Ma Er took out all his savings of 922 taels of silver, said all the good things, and redeemed the gift and troublesome pillow box from the police.

Afterwards, Ma Er told Guo Gongsun Sheng what had happened. Guo Gongsun Sheng got a fright at this. He bent down and made four obeisances to Ma Er. After thanking him for saving his life, Guo Gongsun should pay Ma Er 922 taels of silver first. Until Ma Er left, Guo Gongsun didn't mention returning the silver.

Ma Er, who was originally a gourmet, was short of money because he saved Gong Gongsun, so he had to lower his diet standard. However, Ma Er doesn't complain about anything. He has some money in his waist and wants to go for a walk in the West Lake. The horse's movements have the feeling that Yan Hui is poor and happy.

It can be seen that Guo Gongsun is just a constantly chauffeured who doesn't think about his career and walks all over the street. Ma Er, who makes a living by selling books and doing small business, is a chivalrous man who dares to stand up and help others.

The Scholars is a typical work of China's ancient satirical literature. Fifty-six chapters of the book show a genre painting of China society in the 18th century with a series of relatively independent stories. Focusing on the life and mental state of feudal literati, this paper starts with exposing the imperial examination system and its enslavement of the ugly souls of the following people, portrays all beings of different classes in a specific era, and attacks the stereotyped writing system that corrodes the souls of literati.

"The Scholars" takes "fame and fortune as the bone of the article" and runs through the whole text. The ideological content of the book is mainly divided into two parts: one is the severe criticism and vitriol of the imperial examination system and scholars; The first is the eager desire for an ideal society and moral model.
