At this time, the number of people has almost come, and there are slowly people outside the door, looking at those sons, the literati and scholars all look full of confidence, which makes Yang Shiqi and others more and more curious about the upcoming banquet.

And Yang Zheng looked at the Li family's subordinates who were shuttling back and forth in front of the door, constantly selling albums, and secretly hated, and scolded secretly: "Mom's, I taught the apprentice, starved to death the master, you subordinates are too unqualified, if you want to pirate Lao Tzu's creativity, also use dim sum, just like this, it's strange that someone buys such a picture album?"

Along the way, he scolded and walked towards the Li family's mansion, and after walking a few steps just now, he suddenly saw a man with a tolerance appearance walking in front of several people, and shouted: "A few sons and gentlemen, but you are here to participate in the recruitment?"

Before Yang Zheng could speak, Liao Qing on the side took the lead and said, "What if it's what, what's not?"

The tolerance didn't know Liao Qing, but seeing that Yang Zheng, Yang Shiqi and others were extraordinary, they didn't dare to offend, listening to Liao Qing's inquiry, he hurriedly hugged his fists to everyone and said: "My young lady has set a rule, if you are not here to recruit relatives, please don't come to join in the fun, come from there, go back there?"

"The first level?" Liao Qing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I don't know what this first level is?"

The tolerance smiled and said: "You are all talented people, and you are all talented people who take the school examination??This first level is that every beginner is required to take out a couplet from this box, and those who can match it can enter?" Liao Qing listened to it interestingly, laughed, reached into the wooden box, pulled out a piece of paper from it, and slowly opened it, only to see a line of juanxiu small characters written on it, which was actually a couplet-a heavy mud meets the road! This uplink also has some meaning, that is: once Zhongni meets the sub road. If you don't understand the meaning, it's hard to get it right.

Liao Qing was slightly stunned at first, laughed randomly, and said: "This pair is also interesting, it is not impossible to stump ordinary students, but it is just that I and other people in the imperial examination, and poetry and poetry are really simple?"

The Ming Dynasty takes the scholars with eight shares, and the eight strands have a fixed format: it is composed of eight parts: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares, and the titles are all from the original text in the Four Books and Five Classics. Each of the last four parts has two strands of dual text, for a total of eight strands. In the old imperial examinations, the eight strands of the text should be spoken in the tone of Confucius and Mencius, and the four pairs of sons should be evenly matched, and the saints could not be blasphemed with allusions to the wind and snow, and each article included four parts from the beginning of the stock to the bundle of shares. That is, it is necessary to memorize the four books and the five classics well, not only that, but those officials who have won the Jinshi have not gone through a long period of writing practice from solving the problem to completing the article, and there are complex writing steps, practicing step by step, and waiting until they can write the entire "eight-strand text", and then write various topics, after hundreds of writing exercises, and then under the continuous revision of teachers and famous experts, they can learn to write the eight-strand essay that meets various requirements more proficiently.

In this way, under a certain number of words, a certain structure, a certain syntax, the number of sentences, the four groups in the middle of the strict battle, and other restrictions, the eight strands of writing can be regarded as the essence, and these officials have not come through this step by step, so what Liao Qing said is not an exaggeration.

Once the eight-strand text is proficient, it is whatever you do, if you want poetry, you want poetry, if you want to endow, it is all a whip and a mark, a slap and a palm blood. I saw Liao Qing read the Shanglian a few times, and said, "Bring a pen!"

The tolerance threw a look at the others, and the others understood, respectfully brought the four treasures of the study, Liao Qing rolled up his sleeves, and calmly put down the pen.

Everyone stretched their necks to take a look, only to see a line of block letters falling on the paper, the penmanship was vigorous and powerful, and it could be seen that they had not worked weekdays. Yang Zheng nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "It seems that this guy also has some real materials."

After Liao Qing finished writing, he gave the couplet to the tolerance and said, "Let's see, is it in line with your young lady's couplet?"

When he saw such a beautiful brushwork, his expression suddenly became respectful, he took the paper with both hands, first flipped through a booklet next to him, and then read aloud according to Liao Qing's down: "The two masters smiled back."

"Okay, yes, yes!" The tolerance was not finished and he praised loudly: "Childe is really talented, this first level Childe has passed!"

Liao Qing was proud for a while, arched his hand at everyone, and said, "Offering ugliness, offering ugliness?"

The second is Hu Hui, he learned from Liao Qing to reach into the wooden box, and after groping for a while, he also found a couplet: "When does the spring get cold, and where does the peak fly from." “

Hu Hu pondered for a moment, calmly took the lake pen, and on the snow-white paper, he brushed a few strokes and dropped a couplet: "The spring is cold from Yu, and the peak flies from the neck." “

The tolerance took it, nodded first, but asked, "What is the word item?"

Hu Hu said with a smile: "If Xiang Yu doesn't pull up this mountain, Feng An will have to fly?"

After a pause, he laughed and said, "What the official said is extremely true!

Yang Shiqi asked himself if he had learned from others, but with the previous two couplets, he knew that what the talented girl of the Li family said was true, and he did not dare to give birth to contempt, and calmly touched out a couplet: "Spoil the cold family, the poor window is lonely!"

Yang Shiqi's eyebrows jumped slightly, this Shanglian is full of words on the head of the treasure, and it is not easy to be on top, but after all, he has a strategy, which is not comparable to ordinary people, and he thought for a moment and said: "The guest official is in the palace, and the rich room is tolerant." ”

Everyone nodded secretly, and some people who were watching the excitement on the sidelines, as well as some people who knew the goods, applauded one after another.

It's just that my young lady said that this link is about the loneliness of the poor window of the boudoir, but the flower world outside is not comparable to a woman's boudoir, so there is also a couplet: "Seven ducks floating pond, count three pairs of one." Yang Shiqi didn't expect that he was being generalized for no reason, and he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't do it, the Shanglian just now was indeed the loneliness of the boudoir, and he was a big man who was a little suspected of bullying a woman for such a pair, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said loudly: "The ruler fish jumped into the water, and measured nine inches and ten." ”

"Okay, yes, the official family is good at learning, and I've passed the test!"

Yang Shiqi stroked his beard and smiled, followed behind Hu Hu, and the three of them did not go in immediately, but turned to look at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng smiled and said to the official: "Trouble big brother?"

The official saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and he was handsome and extraordinary, and his tone was still respectful, so he suddenly had a good impression and said in a low voice: "Childe, don't worry, my young lady's upper links are not all difficult, if you touch them a few more times underneath, it will be easier?"

Yang Zheng said, "Thank you for reminding you big brother?" Yi Yan touched his wrist to the wooden box. After a moment of agitation, he took out one and handed it to the tolerance.

The tolerance hugged his fist at him, took the paper, his brows jumped first, smiled apologetically at Yang Zheng, and said, "This is still the son's own view, right?"

This move immediately aroused the curiosity of Yang Shiqi and others, and they all stepped forward to glance at it, only to see a line of Juanxiu small characters written on the paper: "Lotus seeds are bitter in their hearts!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, these five words seem to be bland, but it is also extremely difficult to pair the upper couplet, this couplet "lotus" homonym "pity" and "lian", implying "pitiful", "even tired" meaning, if there is no extremely miserable thing is difficult to the upper couplet.

Everyone silently read a few times, the three Liao Qing came from a rich family since childhood, and he couldn't realize the pity in it, Hu Hui was a young man, and he also suffered some hardships in order to find Emperor Jianwen over the years, but after all, it was the pain of straining his muscles and bones, starving his body and skin, but it was not the pain in his heart, but Yang Shiqi, who lost his father when he was one year old, and his mother remarried.

Yang Zheng didn't expect that the dignified Miss Li family would be able to write such a miserable couplet, and while he was slightly shocked, he couldn't help but be infected by the bitterness in the couplet, and lowered his head and muttered silently.

The tolerance saw him frowning, quite a little self-blame, when he put down this couplet today, his own lady said to him, among the couplets, only this pair is the most difficult pair, and sue him, if someone makes trouble today, he will use this pair to embarrass those sons and daughters who have no one in their eyes, he saw that Yang Zheng was extremely respectful to himself, and he had no rich children's shelves, and he wanted to help him, but he didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, but let him pull out this most difficult couplet. "Childe ——?" Tolerance shouted a little embarrassed.

Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Poor don't worry, it's not difficult for me to be right?" "It's not difficult!" The tolerance was shocked, today his own lady told him personally, this pair is the most difficult pair in the first level today, but this son said that it is not difficult, isn't it stupid, I was trying to persuade a few words, but I saw Yang Zheng take the lake pen from the hand of the next person, on the white paper: "The pear is sour in the abdomen." "The brushwork is also vigorous and powerful, and it can be called a generation of famous calligraphers.

Before the tolerance could be understood, Yang Shiqi on the side was one step ahead of everyone and applauded: "This couplet writes about the bitterness of the lotus heart and the acidity of the pear pit, which is actually the homonym of "lotus" with the homonym of "pity" and "lian", which means "pitiful" and "even tired"; It is indeed a couplet Seiko and beautiful words. Yes, yes!"

Everyone savored it, and they also called out for good, and the tolerance came back to his senses at this time, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said: "Childe is good at learning, please pass!"
