Because the wind and snow in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites were too big, when Pan Yan walked to the main hall between the two corridors, he told the lifters that because of the cold winter and heavy snowfall, there would be no incense case, and each lifter could be cheaper.

Sure enough, this year, Pan Lishi changed the order of the exam again, "Take poetry as the first one!" ”

After hearing this, Zheng Qi, who was sitting under the corridor of the West Pavilion, looked at Gao Yue opposite through the wind and snow, and smiled proudly.

But Gao Yue also sat under the candlelight of the bookcase, looking calm and relaxed, stretching his wrist, wrenching his fingers, and then twisting his neck a few times.

"High must come first." Gao Yue heard this call at this time, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Dugu Liangqi, and the two greeted each other warmly, "How is the essay and poetry this year?" ”

"Have faith." Dugu Liangqi put down his luggage and mat, and said confidently, "What about Gao Bixian?" ”

"I hope Haotian will live up to me." Gao Yue just replied.

On the other side, Liu Delu and Wei Cigong also came to sit down.

"Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed." Wei Cigong absorbed the lessons of last year's tragedy, specially carrying a large box on his back, walking hard from the crowd, swinging from side to side, knocking other lifting instruments into a scattered place, and then Wei Cigong sat under the eaves of the corridor again, he did not take off the box, and then pulled out the bamboo slide rods from both sides, forming a small scaffolding, covering the top of his head, and then put on a thick cloth to cover it, and then Wei Cigong clapped his hands, which can be regarded as a peace of mind - let alone tiles, even if the wall tiles fall, they will not be able to hit my inkstone and articles.

And Gao Yue happened to be blocked by Wei Cigong.

"Could it be that he wants Liu Deshu to compose poems for himself?" Zheng Qi was shocked.

On this side, Pan Yan has begun to let the scholar report the title of this year's poem, "This title is temporarily out (Pan Yan is actually hiding people's ears and eyes), about the use of instruments, there is a curtain in front of the ceremonial servant, and there is a seat under the knees of all the lifters, and the curtain is made of bamboo. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the lifters were sensational, and this year it was actually endowed with "bamboo"!

This question, you say it is difficult, and it is unreasonable - there is no rare word in the Book of Rites as the title, and it is not required to press the rhyme feet in turn;

But it's easy to say, but it's not quite, it's no longer easy to quote scriptures to make up the number of words, and the topic is about what you see in daily life, and it's really difficult to come up with something new.

Even Zheng Qi frowned on this topic, quite embarrassed, he rubbed his somewhat frozen hands, and subconsciously looked at the opposite side, but saw Gao Yue's faintly happy eyebrows, as if he was bound to win, "How come?" When he submitted the provincial papers, Pan Shilang also said that his poems were vulgar, but now he looks so confident. Chang Xiang once took care of me, if Gao Yue had such a relaxed expression, then it meant that he was definitely cheating! ”

But just thinking about it, the thick cloth pergola that Wei Cigong was carrying swayed around with his movements, like a big curtain, blocking half of Gao Yue behind him, Zheng Qi pondered how to write this poem on the one hand, and constantly "monitored" Gao Yue's movements there, and when he cared about it, he moved east and west on the seat, and his mood gradually became agitated, and his heart was like a mess.

Wei Cigong started writing, Liu Deshu started writing, and Dugu Liangqi over there also put down the pen - after Gao Yue dipped the pen in ink, he also put down the pen calmly.

Then the whole corridor of the east and west was lit with wax torches, the candles swayed in the cold wind, and some of the lifters sat and meditated in the light, and some of them wrote with a swaying voice......

It was getting brighter, but in the snowy weather, there was no sunlight at all, and at some point, the darkness continued to shroud, so the candles lit by the lifters were almost never extinguished.

"Oops, according to the rules, no matter what time it is, only three candles are allowed to be burned before the roll is handed in!" After Zheng Qi came to his senses, he saw that he had only written a few lines, and the candle had been replaced with a second one, so he didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't look at Gao Yue anymore, so he could only take care of himself first and write it hard.

When it came to the time of the rewinding, Gao Yue, Liu Demur, Huang Shun, Wei Cigong, and even Dugu Liangqi seemed to be very complacent, but Zheng Qi was disturbed by Gao Yue, and only exerted seventy percent of his strength on weekdays, and couldn't help but be very annoyed, because the first poem was his proud specialty, and the psychological impact it brought to him was extra heavy.

After nightfall, Pan Yanguan Gao Yue's Fu wrote "Taking Bamboo as the Fu of the Flute":

The creation of wise men has its own use, the body of Xiao Gan, it is said that bamboo is in Qi, the original husband Liang Yuan, and it is emerald green. Suck to the essence of the Xi, the festival of Changhan; Supporting the body in the back soil, the color is firm. Towards the dew and fall on its side, the jade liquid is soaked and inherits its mystery. As for the moaning of the autumn lizard, the ape roared; The lone crane entertains under it, and the flock of birds soars over it.

The bamboo is the curtain, decorated with the boudoir and the brocade screen is gilded; It is a 箦, and it is wide and narrow and accurate. However, observing its body, Xiangfeng Xiao Xiao trail is at the end, clean and secluded and noisy, benefiting but not costing, because of the hole flute. Si Zai Mei bamboo, how can it be prepared and used, but also the same as a gentleman. As skilled as a craftsman, he is willing to cut the knot and leave the roots; The quasi-law of Concubine Hengkui, and then Mu in glory. With ivory, the arts and sciences are promising; The mole is sprinkled, and the lips are intricate. If Nai Xu listens to his songs, he observes his songs, the wind is endless, the grace is endless, the fluttering is continuous and the prison falls, and the drift is abandoned for the other.

Listen to its wonderful voice, its words are kind, and it is soft and gentle like a quiet woman; Hearing its loud voice, the circulation is overflowing, and Peng Wei is as generous as a strong man. Therefore, the greedy listen to it and be honest, the wolf hears it but does not scare, the resolute and violent anti-benevolence, and the sobscure and the forbidden. Calmly and happily, happy and not obscene, continuous and endless. (MMP I've tried my best, I can't make it up, don't make it difficult for me to do anything else, I can't understand these books)

Pan Yan pinched his beard and thought about it, Gao Yue's fu in general, although it can't be said to be good, it is still good, and it also suppresses the rhyme, which also reflects the three views of a relatively healthy and positive nature, and I don't know how strong it is compared to last year's Tubai.

So Pan Yan flipped through the essays of other juzi, except for the performance of several people in Guozijian Tao Fenpeng, who were quite outstanding, he felt that they were not as good as Gao Yue, and Zheng Qi especially surprised him, and there was actually a little confusion.

"According to what my father-in-law said...... I will temporarily sentence him to the middle and upper level of this text, and I will put him up again when the third drum of high school is the most proud. "Pan Yan's plan has been decided.

When Pan Yan was struggling, several chamberlains dressed in vermilion clothes walked into the capital hall and said, "Has Pan Li's first fuwen been decided?" ”

According to common sense, the Spring Ceremony Examination is the sole responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor generally does not participate directly, but this year's test, because the emperor and Gao Sangu have an agreement, and they are also very concerned about Zheng Qi, so they will continue to send nobles to inquire. Pan Yan hurriedly got up and said that the ranking of Fuwen had basically been decided.

"Then Gao Saburo is not deposed?" A chamberlain asked on behalf of the emperor.
