Chapter 358: Five Rites and Six Music Performances Chapter
Don't be so nervous! She wants to see more than Zhen'er and Yu'er, she wants to be a talent, and she wants to meet the young children of several princes. However, if Zhen'er disappoints her, things are really hard to say. ”
Yang Ah saw that Geng Xiaofan was nervous and said a word of relief.
"Yingcai, what do you want to try?" Geng Xiaofan began to investigate.
"I don't know, you have a chance, ask your sister Yizhu to inquire, but I guess she doesn't know either."
"Hey! So how do I prepare! Geng Xiaofan pouted.
"Why are you stupid? I don't know what to compare, but you know who made the question! Yang Ah reminded.
Geng Xiaofan woke up like a dream, and the person who asked the question was not the Queen Mother!
So, without delay, I hurried home to discuss with Fei'er and my son, and before I could say anything, the edict of Changxin Palace really arrived!
The emperor hunted in the forest in autumn, and the marquis of the Empress Dowager Zhaoguan took her children to serve!
After receiving the order, Geng Xiaofan was slightly relieved, as long as he accompanied his son, there should be no big problem. But he still told Geng Zhen in detail about the Queen Mother's personality and preferences. He also told him to abide by the law of etiquette and be cautious.
A few days later, the father and son complied with the edict and entered Shanglin Garden, and Geng Xiaofan was caught off guard by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother ordered all the princes to accompany the emperor on the autumn hunt, but she personally left more than a dozen children of the same age as Geng Zhen in Jianzhang Palace.
She prepared a unique competition for these children. The examiner is Wang Taichang, who is in charge of Taixue!
More than a dozen children are of different ages, the eldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger is only Geng Zhen and Wang Yu, thirteen or fourteen years old.
The Queen Mother sat in the center, and the ceremonial officer guided the children to come forward one by one to salute.
Most of these children, the Queen Mother has never seen them, and she only nodded slightly after receiving the salute. It was Geng Zhen's turn, and after the worship, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. The young man's eyebrows were full of heroism and radiance.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but take his hand and look at it carefully for a long time.
After the ceremony, the Queen Mother spoke directly, "You and others are my great talents, and when I see you, the mourning family can't help but rejoice, and I also want to see your skills." If you only test the Five Classics, the mourning family will find it boring. Consult with Taichang, follow the ancient system, and check your six arts. They all let go of their hands and feet, the inferior will not be punished, and the superior will be rewarded! ”
After the queen mother finished ordering, Wang Taichang glanced at him and motioned him to start.
All the children scratched their ears and cheeks, and they didn't know what to do.
Geng Zhen didn't understand either, and vaguely remembered that he had read Zhou Lizhong who said that the six arts refer to the number of imperial books in Lile. But what it is, he hasn't "studied" yet.
Secretly looking at Wang Yu, he seems to be full of confidence!
While I was thinking about countermeasures, "examination" began.
The first item is the "Five Rites", which is too often not explained, and directly follows the order of "Good and Evil Army Binjia", and lets the children perform on stage in turn.
Geng Zhen observed carefully, counted silently, and found that it was his turn to be a "soldier", and he didn't know if it was a military salute. Seeing the mess in front of him, he was also a little flustered.
When he turned around, he saw Wang Yu smiling and looking at himself provocatively. Geng Zhen simply calmed down.
Although he has never been on the battlefield, many of the guards at home have followed his father to fight on the battlefield. When I was a child, I seemed to see them perform some when they were drunk. Geng Zhen began to reminisce carefully.
When it was his turn, Geng Zhen shook his courage, stepped forward with his head held high, followed the appearance of the guards at home, stepped forward, and roared the beat by himself!
Taichang watched and frowned, but the Queen Mother looked happy.
At the end of the first scene, Taichang announced the results, Wang Yu's performance was the most standard, and he was the first to make a mark.
Just as he was about to proceed with the second item, the Queen Mother interrupted.
"Geng Zhen, where did you learn that military salute?"
Geng Zhen was depressed, and when he heard the Queen Mother's question, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Back to the Queen Mother, the villain has never learned military etiquette, but he saw that the guards at home had acted like this, and the villain only felt that the momentum was very strong, so he moved over." ”
"Good!" The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she saw that Geng Zhen did not hide it at all, and turned her head to ask Taichang, "How about Taichang?" ”
Too often is still figuring out what the Queen Mother means. According to the etiquette, Geng Zhen's performance is not at all in line, but there must be a reason why the Queen Mother asked this.
After thinking about it for a while, he stepped forward to talk, "Although Geng Zhen's performance is inconsistent with the ancient rites, it is quite practical. ”
"Well, at a young age, it is already extraordinary to have such insight, Aiqing looks at the thin noodles of the mourning family, how about giving him half a credit for the time being?"
"Obey the order!" Taichang hurriedly received the order, glanced down at Geng Zhen, and reminded in a low voice, "Don't hurry up and thank you!" ”
"Oh!" Geng Zhen seemed to have just understood, and saluted the Queen Mother again, "The Queen Mother's love should not be resigned, but if it is wrong, it is wrong, the kid is ashamed, he does not dare to be greedy, please take back the Queen Mother's life." ”
"Oh! You're funny, kid! "The Queen Mother feels that this child is really like his father, unexpected!
"You have a point, it's up to you! Go ahead! ”
The second item is the "Six Music", which is much simpler, and the court musicians play them one by one, asking the children to identify them one by one.
Wang Yu was the first to finish writing and handing in the papers, and he looked at it too often and was very satisfied.
Geng Zhen is no stranger to Liule, his mother is a peerless "singer"! Carefully distinguish it, and write it neatly and hand in the paper. Too often I was taken aback after reading it.
Geng Zhen and Wang Yu answered all of them correctly, and each recorded a merit. Wang Yu seemed to be surprised by Geng Zhen's performance, seeing that he hesitated when answering the question, he felt that he was suspected of cheating, and couldn't help but want to provoke.
Just when Taichang was taking scores, Wang Yu came to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the ministers have heard that music and dance since ancient times are not separated, since the music has not been able to distinguish the superior, please try the dance with Geng Zhenjia!" ”
After speaking, he glanced back at Geng Zhen, "I wonder if Brother Geng can see the teaching?" ”
Geng Zhen's nose is about to be crooked, what does this guy want to do? His mother is a "singer", and his godmother is a "dancer", so he dares to compete with himself in singing and dancing!
Thinking about it, he also stepped forward, "As long as the Queen Mother agrees, the villain is happy to accompany her!" ”
"Huh! Two little kids are fun! Let's compare! The Queen Mother was also happy when she saw that the two of them were angry.
Wang Yu was full of confidence and bowed his hand to the musician, "I am willing to present the song "Cloud Gate". ”
All the musicians are very clever, and they played quickly, Wang Yu stretched his sleeves and jumped, dancing with the music, quite ancient. The crowd couldn't help but applaud.
At the end of the song, Wang Yu stepped aside and made a provocative gesture to Geng Zhen.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet! The Han man should be determined to defend the territory for the country, and he is not willing to sacrifice "Dawu"! ”
Geng Zhen was full of spirits, and directly sang the gales of Han Gaozu, winning the applause of everyone present at once, and first overwhelmed Wang Yu in terms of momentum.
The musicians were about to start, but Geng Zhen couldn't help but say, stepped forward and grabbed a drumstick and a T-hammer, and jumped into the room, tossing and turning while beating the drum.
