Wen Liang said: "Of course, my Hangzhou culture is prosperous, how can I lose to those students in Anhui, Lord Yang is a native of Hangzhou, I have to help Hangzhou cheer up later?" ”

Yang Zheng said seriously: "Of course, this is also a southerner, how can I help Anhui and Suzhou!" “

Wen Liang said: "Then my lord, go quickly, they have almost started, and we have to invite a few more!" Won't bother you? ”

Yang Zheng said: "Two adults, please!" ”

Wen Liang and Yao Ben each hugged their fists and saluted, and then went their separate ways.

Looking at the backs of the two retreating, Yang Zheng sighed lightly and said: "Is this our Ming Dynasty, why do you like to fight in the nest so much, can't you get along peacefully, how can everyone say that they are all Ming people, what else do they share with each other?" ”

At this time, there was a lot of shouting in front of him, Yang Zheng listened curiously, so he walked over, only to see more than 20 students dressed in the official uniform of the Daming Shuji, divided into two factions, around a big table, glaring at each other angrily, there were no less than 20 students around, some were young, some were full of white hair, each with a solemn expression, looking at each other.

When Yang Zheng approached, the Jiangxi student on the left side who happened to listen said: "The rules of the war, I think you also know it, so I won't say more about it here?" “

Students from Suzhou and Anhui smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know, so please ask the question, right?" ”

"Damn, I did it so quickly, and there is still a lot of blood?" Yang Zheng was a little surprised, influenced by the film and television dramas of his previous life, most of the literati of the Ming Dynasty were submissive fans, but he didn't expect that all the literati of the Ming Dynasty in reality were like this.

Students from Jiangxi and Hangzhou said: "Then we're welcome?" After a pause, he said, "Lord Zeng, or you come first, right?" “

The student who is called Zeng Daren, about forty years old, with exquisite facial features, with a long beard quite a bit of fairy wind bones, Wen Yan glanced at the first man on the opposite side and said: "In the past, the direct couplet was a little irritable, and the second was not enough to show the talent of Jiangxi and Hangzhou students, so today the official has changed a way of playing!" I don't know if the criminal brother can dare to deal with it? ”

This student, known as Brother Xing, is named Xing Kuan, and when he talks about this person, he has to say that he satirized the deeds of Taishou in his poems, which was widely circulated in the Hanlin Academy, and it is said that Xing Kuan was preparing to enter Beijing to take the exam. Xing Kuan's grades in the Fuxue are still quite famous, but his results in the township examination are not very good. One day, when the prefect was discussing with the same people who could be a jinshi, he talked about Xing Kuan, and said this in response to Xing Kuan's table in the township test: "Xing Kuan, it's like a bottle of vinegar that is not sour." It means to look like it, but in fact, there is no real ability. ridiculed Xing Kuan's low level and may not be able to pass the exam. These words came out quickly, and after Xing Kuan heard it, he was very stimulated. He worked harder and harder, and was angry, as the saying goes, if you don't eat steamed buns and fight for breath, you must do well in the exam. I didn't expect to win the top prize in this exam. In the face of adversity, any kind of criticism will leave an indelible memory on himself, and after some celebration, he thought of the Taishou who had looked down on him, so he wrote a poem for people to bring to him. "Xing Kuan is just the old Xing Kuan, and he worships the official at the end of the year; Sending a message to Huang Tangxian is too guarded, but now it is sour. "Point the dragon's head" refers to being pointed to as the champion, "Huang Tang", in front of us said that Wen Tianxiang satirized the dream of Yan poems when there was a "Huang Fei", in ancient times, people believed that yellow can suppress the fire, and the general noble homes or government halls are painted with yellow paint. Here the color refers to the official hall, I said that you are sitting in the lobby Xian Taishou, you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, isn't my Xing Kuan the champion. A "virtuous" constitutes irony. Aoya is the tooth of the insect biting people, used to describe the teeth of the Taishou, you bit me so painfully back then, now you should feel sour. The last sentence is very ingenious, not only the meaning is natural and appropriate, but also corresponds to the sentence that Taishou ridiculed himself back then. Isn't it sour, you should taste the bitterness. This matter is extremely famous in the Hanlin Academy, Xing Kuan was elected as the representative of Anhui students because he was the champion, and he sneered when he heard the words: "Master Zeng doesn't have to be polite, since he is a talent, he can't think about it, and Xing likes this kind of challenge the most on weekdays!" ”

This is not a simple person, but the Zeng family of the champion Fang of Ximen Village, Chengjiang Town, Taihe County, Jiangxi Province, a descendant of the Northern Song Dynasty agronomist Zeng Anzhi, surnamed Zeng, named Heling, the champion of Yongle for 19 years, he and his brother Zeng Chunling focused on "Shangshu" together when he was young. In his early twenties, he and Zeng Chunling participated in the three-year township examination of Ming Yongle, and his brothers were promoted in the same scientific examination. The following year, he planned to strike while the iron was hot and go to Beijing with his brother to take the test, but considering that his parents were old and in poor health, he could not rest assured, so he took the initiative to stay and wait for his parents, giving up the opportunity to go to Beijing for reference. When his brother Zeng Chunling took the examination, he was admitted to the Jinshi and was selected as a Shujishi.

Originally, Zeng Heling planned to participate in the next scientific expedition, but Zeng Chunling was too sick to fall ill and died young. Therefore, he had to support his parents, and he had to support his brother's widow, young son and his wife, and the burden of the family fell on Zeng Heling alone. He had to give up the opportunity to take the exam again. Later, his father died, and he kept filial piety for three years, and he had to be alone inside and out, let alone him. When his nephew grew up, he was close to the age of "not confused", but he still said goodbye to his mother and went to Beijing to participate in the 19th year of Yongle examination, which has been 16 years since he was lifted. The examiner who presided over the examination was Yang Shiqi of this county, who appreciated the simple work, and was very happy after reading his papers.

Zeng Heling was the champion and the second, and was revised by the Hanlin Academy of Liguan, which was very famous, and was promoted as the first among students by Jiangxi and Hangzhou students.

At this time, he smiled and said: "It's so the best, Zeng is still afraid that Brother Xingkuan will not dare to fight, and when the time comes, it will be very unfun to use the criminal law to restrain it?" ”

Everyone laughed, Yang Zheng was a little inexplicable, pushed the student next to him, and said, "Is this sentence funny?" “

The student looked at him with some surprise on his face, and said, "Ah, don't adults know such jokes?" “

Yang Zheng looked at him with a disdainful look, and wanted to ask: "Your grandfather's, do you know about pickled girls, do you know about Mercedes-Benz BMW, disdain you!" ”

"Hey, the lower officials haven't come out to walk all year round, but I haven't heard of it, and I ask the adults to tell me?" Yang Zheng said with a smile.

The student still had a disdainful face, and said, "I don't know how you entered the Hanlin Academy, it won't be a relative of that official!" ”

Yang Zheng smiled and didn't explain.

The student seemed to see that he was still a student in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and said patiently, it turned out that this sentence was able to be the champion by name, it is said that after the end of the palace examination that year, it was originally planned to take Sun Yuegong as the first, at that time the words were arranged vertically, when he saw this name, he suddenly felt very dazzling, the last two words are not connected to a "violence" word, and then read the whole name together, especially the local dialect of Fengyang's hometown, isn't it very similar to "violence"? The more he looked at it, the more unhappy he became, the more impatient he became, so he had to flip back, hey, "Xing Kuan" jumped out, at that time people had an innate sensitivity to the pair, these two names were not exactly the opposite of the pair, he didn't turn it anymore, Zhu Bi stopped, and sighed with relief: "Sun Storm is not as good as Xing Kuan." Xing Kuan became the champion in this way. And Zhu Di also personally wrote Xing Kuan's name at the top of the list to show solemnity and grace. In June, the Ming army arrived in the area of the Taran Namur River, but there was no shadow of Arutai, so he had to be a teacher, and at this time Zhu Di was ill, and soon died. So Xing Kuan became the last champion of Zhu Di Yongle period, after this matter came out, many people were envious, but envy at the same time inevitably had to be sarcastic a few words, over time, this passage spread in the Hanlin Academy, who saw that this champion was not happy, so he laughed twice, Xing Kuan is kind, plus he is indeed a little unright, every time it is not easy to say anything, over time, it is rare to pay attention to it, when it is ignored, it does not mean that there is no anger in his heart, Zeng Heling mentioned this matter in front of everyone, That hurt his face a little, Xing Kuan glared at him viciously, whether it depends on his name, he will know if he has tried it.

Zeng Heling also felt that what he had just said was a bit excessive, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake in public, so he nodded and said, "Is this the best?" After a pause, he said: "Today, let's try to be ruthless, right, I don't know what the criminal master wants?" “

Xing Kuan said: "Xia Guan is willing to accompany him!" ”

Yang Zheng was the only one on the field who didn't understand what ruthless right was, and whispered to the student next to him: "This adult, this ruthless right?" ”

The student glanced at Yang Zheng with disdain, who had already taken care of him as the descendant of that high-ranking official, and explained with some impatience: "The so-called ruthless pair, also known as the sheep's horn pair, is a new word game, which is characterized by requiring the literal battle to be as neat as possible, and the farther apart the content of the two sides, the better. It is also stipulated that improvisation is right and cannot be delayed; For example, uplink: Samsung brandy. Downlink: May Huangmei day. Among them, the words are relative, and the upper link refers to the name of the wine, and the lower link refers to the weather, which has nothing to do with each other, and is a model of ruthless pairing. This kind of word game, most of them are easy to come by, and they are obtained by chance, but they are by no means successful by "Lalang matching" and "chaotic mandarin ducks", and the couplet must also have a complete meaning, and it is unexpected, so that it can be interesting, but it has an endless aftertaste. It's a difficult game! ”
