Chapter 90: Civil and Military
After Cui Wanqing finished writing, she swept it from beginning to end, and felt that there were no typos or omissions, so she stood up and was about to take it with her own hands, but saw the maid standing at the door and had already walked to her side.
Cui Wanqing smiled at her kindly, "I'm tired." He handed her his clumsy work.
Mr. Fang Zheng, who sat down, was the first to pass the goal, he unconsciously groaned out loud, and nodded again and again after reading it, "The poem is good, the words are good, they can be regarded as complementing each other, it is rare to see the words written by the girl, not a soft group pattern, not bad, not bad." β
As he spoke, Mr. Yan and Mr. Zheng both took it and looked at it carefully in their hands.
Mr. Yan smiled and asked, "I have seen this poem, but it is Pengfei Academy, the masterpiece of Changjian Gongzi, you two are from this family?" β
Cui Wanqing stood up and said with a smile: "The little girl and he are brothers and sisters, because just now all the way, the roadside green bamboo into a sea, I can see that the people are so comfortable, I can't help but think of the small banquet at home, the sixth brother once recited this song, so I wrote it down, and I feel that it is also appropriate." β
Zheng Xueyu said with a smile: "Your Cui family is talented, your eldest sister and second sister are also outstanding, and now that there are more of you, I am looking forward to your appearance." β
Mr. Fang Zheng looked a little off-topic, so he quickly coughed twice, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the old man is given grade A for this question, what about the two of you?" β
"The students are the same as the husbands." Mr. Yan was very respectful of Mr. Fang Zheng's disciple courtesy.
Zheng Xueyu also smiled: "The concubine also thinks that Cui Wanqing's words should be rated as Grade A." β
Mr. Fang Zheng smiled and took the pen, and on Cui Wanqing's exam paper, the dragon and the phoenix danced a first.
He put down his pen and continued: "Okay, now the old man will ask you the first question, since you write well, then the old man asks you, this ink, where is the best choice?" β
This question is actually a question to be given, it seems that Mr. Fang Zheng has a very good impression of Cui Wanqing, and plans to let this girl enter the A class.
Cui Wanqing both loved calligraphy, naturally it is easy to say, "now we have the brush of the Jing Dynasty, the lake pen is the most sought after, the lake pen is also known as "Hu Ying", this Ying, refers to the tip of the pen a neat and translucent part, is the biggest feature of the lake pen. β
"The little girl thinks that Xuanzhou's Xuanbi is also very easy to use, its material selection is strict, the precision is fine, the mold is elegant, the hair is pure and durable, and the rigidity and softness are medium."
"As for the ink, it is naturally Hui ink, the color of Hui ink is dark, durable, licking paper is not glued, paper is not dizzy, fragrant is long, but the price is high, ordinary people can't use it."
Mr. Fang Zheng smiled and nodded, signaling that Mr. Yan could ask questions, Mr. Yan smiled: "Since Mr. asked about pen and ink, I will ask the individual, among the people in the world, who do you think is the most worthy of your copying and learning?" β
In this regard, Cui Wanqing herself has a little disagreement, she admired luxury in her previous life, and she was used to loving Mr. Xin Ming's books, but after being reborn, her personality gradually changed, and she felt that Mr. Xin Ming's books were gorgeous and flashy.
Nowadays, I feel that Mr. Zhiyuan's calligraphy, the font is vigorous and vast, the style is strong and elegant, and the words reveal his demeanor between the lines.
She smiled lightly and said to Mr. Yan: "The student now feels that Mr. Zhiyuan's calligraphy shows his skills in a bland way, and the artistic conception is particularly far-reaching, but the student is young and lacks wrist strength, and he can't write his style, so he can only resemble it." β
Mr. Yan nodded lightly when he heard this, obviously satisfied, "Calligraphy lies in diligent practice and careful comprehension, you are still young, and in time, you will be able to become a tool, but it is important to persevere, don't give up halfway." β
Cui Wanqing saw what he said, nodded respectfully, and bowed her knees.
But Mr. Zheng's question was different, she asked with a smile: "Your eldest sister, and your uncle's eldest cousin, together with the piano art, are all in their own style, and they have a lot of style, what about you?" Are you interested in the art of the piano? β
Where is this asking questions? It's like he's taking in an apprentice for himself. Cui Wanqing said with a smile: "Students are ashamed, students think that learning art is a specialty, and there are no more, so calligraphy is the first choice of students, and piano art is just an entry, but students have a lot of experience in cooking, and Mr. may wish to help taste one or two in the future." β
Cui Wanhua and Cao Rong are both proud disciples of Zheng Xueyu, but this year Cui Wanhua will enter the palace to be elected, with her elegance, it is unlikely that she will be elected, and Cao Rong's wedding date is also next autumn, and from this winter, she will also take a break to go home.
I thought that Cui Wanqing was the younger sister of the two of them, and she always had some family history, and she could have another disciple, but she didn't expect that this child didn't love piano art and calligraphy.
In addition to her regrets, she also had some new feelings about this girl who was more expensive than specialized, "That's good, if you have any fresh snacks in the future, you might as well bring them, you can go to the backyard to pick Yingyuan and ask." β
Mr. Fang Zheng hurriedly coughed a few times when he heard this, and looked at Zheng Xueyu with small eyes and kept signaling.
Zheng Xueyu couldn't help but wonder, how could she forget jì, this famous Mr. Fangzheng, the representative of Xinli, is the most passionate about food.
She covered her mouth and smiled and added: "By the way, Mr. Fang Zheng is in Haoyue Xiaozhu in the back mountain, you have good food, you might as well send some, he is a food everyone, and he will definitely be able to give you more good food." β
Cui Wanqing knew that the exam was here, even if it was over, she stood up, walked to the table, and Shi Li asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Yan's residence, and I will send it together in the future." β
The expression on Mr. Yan's face became more and more satisfied, "It's in the Qingfeng Pavilion in the back mountain, very close to Mr. Fangzheng's residence. β
Cui Wanqing came out of the inner room, the two young ladies who had gone in to take the exam had already left, Cui Wanqing sent Yingqiao to see if Cui Wanyun had finished the exam, sat on the official hat chair, picked up the hot tea poured by Zeng's mother, and took a small sip.
As the next candidate entered, the two young ladies opposite Cui Wanqing glanced at each other and smiled at Cui Wanqing in unison.
Cui Wanqinggang also greeted both of them, knowing that the one wearing the red cloud brocade five-colored plum blossom gown on the left was the granddaughter of the Wuwei general Meng Kaijin, Meng Yuele.
On the right, wearing a tender yellow Luo silk Su embroidered begonia flower gown, is the granddaughter of the imperial historian Kong Linshang, Kong Yunxi.
These two are both powerful factions, and if they can be friends with them, there are only benefits, not harms.
Cui Wanqing is about to become a refined person, can she not know what these two want to ask, and put the tea cup in her hand on the desk lightly.
whispered: "The two sisters don't have to worry, the exam is not very difficult, it will let you choose a good exam question in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then there is a question for each of the three gentlemen, and it will be over, the three gentlemen are all kind, you are bold and magnified, and you can deal with it calmly." β
As soon as she said this, the two lovely young ladies of Yuxue opposite were one happy and one sad, and the happy person was Kong Yunxi, who was worried, it was Meng Yuele, she was the young lady of the military general's family, and she was born to love these writing and painting, and Qin Qi was even more afraid when she saw it.
Thinking that she was afraid that she would not be able to enter the A-word class, and that she would inevitably be laughed at in the future, her eyes were red, and she was almost about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Cui Wanqing roughly guessed eight or nine points, looking at this child as old as Cao Tang, her heart couldn't help but soften, and asked softly: "Sister Meng family, what are you good at?" β
Meng Yuele thought for a while, raised her head and frowned, and said pitifully: "I practiced martial arts with my brothers when I was a child, I am skilled in archery and horses, and I am especially good at light archery, but it's a pity that people don't take these tests." β
Cui Wanqing rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Good sister, you will go in later, you might as well tell the truth to the three gentlemen, sister, I heard that our Jinghui Academy is not a pedantic place, and it pays attention to both civil and military affairs." β
"Not only do I not object to girls practicing martial arts, but I support our young ladies very much, to strengthen their bodies, if you ask for a bow and arrow test, or equestrianism, I think gentlemen may agree."
Meng Yuele's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak, but she heard Kong Yunxi on the side sigh and said: "In my opinion, this is impossible, the annual exam is much the same, but I have never heard of it, you can also take the bow horse test, think about it, how can the gentlemen run all the way from Fengyu Courtyard to Jade Tiger Courtyard just for you?" β
Meng Yuele's eyes had just glowed, and after listening to Kong Yunxi's words, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, lowered his head in frustration again, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand into a twist with both hands.
Cui Wanqing glanced at Kong Yunxi, this person is quite familiar with Jinghui Academy, and it seems that he has done his homework solidly.
It's just that she can't hide the color in her eyes, and she seems to look down on Meng Yuele, who was born in a military general's family, but this makes Cui Wanqing feel uncomfortable in her heart.
This girl must have been influenced by her family, in the court, the civil and military differences were already big, and the civil officials looked down on the rudeness of the military attachΓ©s.
And the military attache can't look down on the hypocrisy of the civil officials, and everything the size of a sesame seed has to be calculated for gains and losses, intrigue, and intrigue all day long, trying every way to make money, and being a top corrupt official.
But the battle between these officials, Cui Wanqing felt that it didn't have to affect the child, and in this regard, she admired Cui Changjian, who didn't care about these at all, and specifically asked for the eldest daughter of General Zhenxi's family.
In this era of fierce civil and military competition, it is really a maverick.
It's just that although she has an opinion in her heart, she can't say that her family also belongs to the civil official faction, and it is refreshing to have more mouths and more tongues, so it is inevitable that the Cui family will be spurned by the civil officials, so it is better to keep your mouth shut and watch from the wall.
Cui Wanqing was muttering in her heart, but Yingqiao, who had just gone to look for Cui Wanyun, had returned.
She walked up to Cui Wanqing and curtsied: "Miss Nine, Miss Fifth has finished the exam and is waiting for you on the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard, let's go quickly?" βR1152
