Volume 1 The Wind and Rain Entering Lin'an Chapter 5 Confusion
(Collect click tickets.) )
The rain outside the window was still pouring down, and the candlestick burst with a burst and then dimmed. Fang Zi'an, who was sitting in front of the window, gently flicked the wick with a bamboo stick, and the candle flame soon became bright again.
Looking at the flickering candle flame, Fang Zi'an's thoughts still did not break free from his memories......
The process of taking the academy entrance examination is actually not simple, although Qixia Academy is not a famous academy in the Great Song Dynasty, but the process of selecting students is very strict, in addition to the poetry assessment, what made Fang Zi'an almost rejected was the experience he had in the streets. The assessment of character is as important as knowledge.
The assessment of poetry and writing is not strict, Fang Zi'an was also a famous college student in his previous life, although he later joined the army directly after graduating from Rong, but the books he read in his stomach are still there. A casual 'borrowing' of a poem and an article is enough to pass the test. It's hard to explain Fang Zi'an's own experience of wandering on the streets. Several chairs had already decided to refuse Fang Zi'an's admission, and at this time, Zhou Junzheng, the head of the academy, happened to come to inspect the enrollment situation, and Fang Zi'an seized the opportunity to explain the situation to Zhou Junzheng. Fang Zi'an said a lot of things like 'the prodigal son will not change his money', 'the court should save the enterprising young man' and so on. Zhou Junzheng was not a brainless person that time, he took Fang Zi'an's assessment poems and read them and felt quite surprised. It's a bit strange that a young man who is in the market can write such articles and poems. If this article was really written by this teenager, what is the experience of being a gangster on the street? There are times when pearls are cast into the dark and dust, and people naturally have times when they are down.
So Zhou Junzheng personally came up with a question to test the young man's talent, and he Fang Zi'an composed a poem on the topic of the Song and Jin Dynasties. Fang Zi'an happily obeyed. After thinking about it, Fang Zi'an handed over a song "Feeling" to Zhou Junzheng.
The poem says:
30,000 miles east of the river into the sea, 5,000 miles on the sky. The bereaved people were in tears, and they looked south to Wang Shi for another year.
Fang Zi'an's recording of this poem by Lu Fangweng is actually a bit risky, after all, this is a poem with a position and emotions, and at this time, this is actually very risky. The current period is a period when the main and capitulation factions have the absolute upper hand, and the main war faction is degraded and degraded to death, and this style of poetry is obviously carried with a kind of dissatisfaction and emotion, which is likely to cause trouble. But Fang Zi'an just wants to gamble.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, restoring the shame of the rivers and mountains should be a knot in the hearts of the subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, the position is actually very important in these years. If this Zhou Jun is a master and faction, like Qin Hui's gang, then this poem will be counterproductive. But Fang Zi'an thought about it, this Zhou Jun is nearly seventy years old, and he seems to be a talented person, but he is a mountain chief in this small academy, which shows that his official luck is not smooth. And it must have something to do with the position. If he was the Lord and the faction, Qin Hui would not be a small academy head at this moment. Therefore, after comprehensive analysis, Zhou Junzheng should not be in the same group as Qin Hui's gang. However, this poem, with its emotion and indignation, must have appealed to him.
Fang Zi'an won the bet, Zhou Junzheng was silent for a long time after reading this poem, and suddenly looked at Fang Zi'an with bright eyes and asked, "Would you like to be my student?" ”
Fang Zi'an was overjoyed, of course he couldn't ask for it. Unexpectedly, this gamble actually earned a mountain chief as a backer, and made a lot of money. Fang Zi'an didn't know Zhou Junzheng's strictness in accepting disciples at first, but in later days he learned that Zhou Junzheng never accepted students, and it was precisely because that poem touched his heart and resonated with him that he was willing to accept him as a disciple. When he was not only because of the same position, but also because he thought that Fang Zi'an was bold. Under the current situation of the imperial court, when the main battle faction is degraded and degraded, and no one in the world dares to talk about current affairs, a young man dares to speak out and write poems such as 'The remnants are in tears and dust, and the king is looking south for another year', this courage is different from ordinary people.
In this way, Fang Zi'an entered Qixia Academy and became a student, and the official staff issued by the academy made Fang Zi'an at least not have to worry about his livelihood. In addition, if you enter the college, you will be eligible to take the entrance examination. Fang Zi'an didn't know if the path he had chosen was correct, but at least he could breathe a sigh of relief for now.
In the days that followed, Fang Zi'an studied in Qixia Academy with peace of mind, and got along well with his teacher Zhou Junzheng. Although Zhou Junzheng's temper is a little weird, he is very sensible. In particular, the master and apprentice have the same position and viewpoint, which is the basis for the two to be able to live together. In addition, Fang Zi'an is a person who has crossed over, and his knowledge is unusual, and Zhou Junzheng is overjoyed. Zhou Junzheng thought that he had picked up a treasure, and he unabashedly praised his disciple Fang Zi'an when talking to others, saying that he would become a great weapon in the future. The relationship between master and apprentice is quite like father and son, but it is like a feeling of making friends. Fang Zi'an admired Zhou Junzheng's profound talent, and Zhou Junzheng also expected a lot from Fang Zi'an and taught him carefully.
If it weren't for that, the friendship between master and apprentice might have become a good story. However, there were sudden waves on the flat ground, and the change of things caught Fang Zi'an off guard. Just yesterday morning, when Fang Zi'an went to the academy with a gift for Zhou Jun to worship the Dragon Boat Festival, he was driven out by Zhou Jun in front of everyone and threw the gift he brought to the ground. Zhou Junzheng couldn't help but issue a copy of the book, expelling Fang Zi'an from the division, which made everyone, including Fang Zi'an, stunned.
The reason for the incident is actually because Fang Zi'an wrote a song to Qin Xiqing, the top singer of Wanchun Garden, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Zhou Junzheng thought that Fang Zi'an did not put his mind into studying, and went to fight with the Qinglou courtesan, which disappointed his expectations and ruined his reputation. He wanted to clean up the portal and was determined to expel Fang Zi'an from the division.
Fang Zi'an didn't expect that the incident of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival would become the reason why he was expelled from the door wall today. What is even more incomprehensible to him is that this reason is too far-fetched. said slowly that he didn't have a hot fight with the courtesans of the Qinglou, even if he went in and out of the Qinglou, it was not a major event of moral corruption in this era. When the two Song Dynasty scholars went in and out of the Qinglou Song Shop Goulan Washe is a common thing, take the Northern Song Dynasty lyrics as the experience of Liu Sanchang, he was mixed in the Qinglou all his life, and his death was also a collective burial for him by the women of the flower world, which is a good story that people talk about. It can be seen from this that dating a woman in the Qinglou during the two Song Dynasty was not a big deal. Although it will attract some rumors after all, and it may damage the reputation, it will not reach such a fierce point.
Moreover, with Fang Zi'an's understanding of Zhou Junzheng, Zhou Junzheng is not the kind of stereotypical person. Talking about laughter on weekdays is very open, and it will never become so impersonal because of such a thing.
Therefore, this matter is a little confusing and a little strange. However, no matter how Fang Zi'an admitted his mistake and begged for help, in the same year, the students and even the teacher and several chair gentlemen persuaded each other, Zhou Junzheng never let go, and ruthlessly expelled himself from the teacher, which made Fang Zi'an even more unacceptable.
There must be some anxiety and anger in my heart, but more often I still feel lost and incredible. How can a person change his face so quickly, and it is a teacher he respects, a teacher who has gotten along very well for three years. The whole thing made Fang Zi'an extremely difficult to accept.
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Zi'an, who was sitting and waiting to groan, immediately felt the heat on his body, and his heart became irritable. He can pretend to be open-minded, but he does not know why. This is also the reason why he was a little rude when he faced the two guests who came today, and the pimple in his heart was actually there all along.
If he really went to the Qinglou to mess around, he wouldn't have wronged himself, but in fact, he just went to the West Lake on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and happened to catch up with the flower boat of Wanchun Garden and moored under the bridge. That Wanchun Garden held the Mid-Autumn Festival activities, and collected the lyrics of the people present with twenty taels of silver as the color head, and let Qin Xiqing, the top singer of Wanchun Garden, sing the song in person. That's just a gimmick, although Qin Xiqing is famous all over the southeast, if the lyrics can be sung by her mouth, it must be famous all over the world. Many of those present hoped to make a name for themselves. But Fang Zi'an didn't have such an idea at all, all that attracted him was the twenty taels of silver.
Although he entered the academy to study, he would not go hungry with the official salary, but the constraints of life have not changed at all. His clothes and hats are shabby, he can't afford to buy a study room, and he often relies on teachers to help him, which makes Fang Zi'an feel embarrassed and troubled from time to time. Encountering a huge amount of money with a reward of twenty taels of silver, Fang Zi'an was eager to try. So he wrote a poem "Mid-Autumn Moon" to join in the fun, in fact, he didn't think that he would be able to get the lottery, just luck, who would have thought that he really won, and he really got twenty taels of lottery. At that time, he had deliberately kept a low profile, and he did not board the ship to cooperate with Wan Chunyuan, in fact, he didn't want to make everyone know. He even asked Wan Chunyuan to keep it secret for himself, refusing to let people know that he wrote the poem "Mid-Autumn Moon". The reason is actually very simple, I am a person who has crossed over, and I don't want to attract too much attention, so as not to give birth to trivial issues that will arouse suspicion. I haven't integrated into this era yet, and I don't want to expose my rustiness to this era.
The song of the Mid-Autumn Moon was indeed popular for a while, but almost no one knew that it was written by himself, and it had nothing to do with him. I don't know where Zhou Junzheng learned about this. But this doesn't really matter, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Fang Zi'an doesn't think that this matter will never be known. In fact, Fang Zi'an felt that even if he was known by others, it was nothing, because it was nothing unseemly. But who would have thought that what he thought was no big deal was justified by Zhou Jun as a reason to drive him out of the school.
Irritability, incomprehension, grievance, sadness, all kinds of emotions are depressed in my heart, and they can be relieved during the day, but the more I think about this at this moment, the more mixed feelings in my heart. This should be regarded as the first major blow since I crossed over. Although being expelled from the school did not affect his qualification for the imperial examination, the friendship established with Zhou Junzheng in the past three years collapsed, which is really unacceptable.
