Chapter 44 The Expression of the Word Guomei
The prefect is not a petty official, Han Wen has become quite fond of feathers after a year of precipitation, although he doubts in his heart, his face is not sad or happy, and he said: "If this is the case, Xiao Langjun will learn something in just one year, and the government is very pleased." In this way, the government will come to test you to see if you are worthy of the name. ”
Zhao Yan was shocked when he heard this, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, he only dabbled in Mongolian books such as "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Thousand Character Text", as well as Bagu Chengwen.
"Fuzun, students have a poem written when they entered the city yesterday, please take a look at it first." Zhao Yan hurriedly handed the poem "Zhengding Mansion", now known as "Zhending Mansion", to Hangul.
Zhao Yan handed the poem to Hanwen, and secretly said in his heart, in fact, there is no need to test me at all, if you want to see if my case is worthy of the name, then look at this poem.
Han Zhifu took it with a smile, unfolded the paper and didn't look at the poems first, but looked at the handwriting first, and saw that the pavilion on the paper was upright and orderly, horizontal and vertical, and it was passable, he nodded and then began to read the poems.
Undulating Shagang County Ring,
Tang Dynasty became a German Han Changshan.
Hug Hengyue in the west and a thousand peaks are steep,
South intercepts Hutuo Baidao Bay.
China's throat through nine provinces,
Shenjing lock key control three levels.
Didang Heshuo is a strong town,
The tiger is between the dragon and the swallow.
After a long time, Han Wen stroked his beard with one hand and the song 'Zhending Mansion' in the other, and unconsciously chanted: "China's throat leads to nine provinces, and Shenjing locks and controls three passes. When the river Shuo is called the town, the tiger is between the dragon and the swallow and the Zhao. This poem is atmospheric, is it really written by Xiao Langjun? ”
Zhao Yan said modestly: "The government has won the award, and the students are just a clever hand." Yesterday, students and a few friends went to the outside of Zhending City, listened to a few friends talk about the history and humanities of Fucheng, and made this poem for a while, those friends and students are settled in Hengsheng Inn, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to verify. ”
What Zhao Yan said was conclusive, Han Wen believed most of it in his heart, he laughed and said: "Xiao Langjun is so young, it is really rare to be able to make such imposing poems. ”
"Hehe, the Mansion has praised it, if it weren't for the majestic and magnificent city of Zhending, how could the students have the feeling to make this poem." Zhao Yan continued to be modest.
Han Wen glanced at Zhao Yan's immature face, and felt a little more love for talent in his heart, so he asked: "If this mansion is not mistaken, Xiao Langjun has reached the year of dancing elephants after the New Year, I don't know if there is a table?" ”
Which one is this? Zhao Yan didn't have time to think about it, and replied honestly: "The student has passed the fifteenth year of the year, and it has reached the year of dancing elephants, and the elders in the family have not yet given the table words. ”
The table word is a name given by a person other than his own name, indicating the meaning of virtue or his real name, which is generally taken by his parents, elders or teachers, and when Han suddenly asked this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but move in his heart, and said tentatively: "If the Fuzun does not give up, I would like to ask the Fuzun to take a table word for the student." ”
Han Wenzheng had this intention, and when he heard this, he did not pretend to be hypocritical, but gladly responded, and then he pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is a cloud in the Book of Songs: the son of the other, the son of the state. "Erya" cloud: Meishi is Yan. "Shangshu Qin Oath" is also cloudy: The sage of people is good. The state and the country are connected, the beauty is the Yan, and the Yansheng has the meaning of goodness, beauty and wisdom, and the government will take the words "country" and "beauty" from it. The Chengyuan system of this dynasty does not shy away, and the words "country" and "beauty" do not need to be avoided, so this official takes the word "national beauty" for you, what do you think? ”
Gome, well, sounds okay...... Wait, Gome? Is it okay to change another one? I think Bangmi is also very good. Zhao Yan wanted to cry without tears, but he made it clear in the Korean words that the word Guomei represents a good meaning, if he rashly refuses, he will only hate the Korean language for nothing, which is really unfavorable to his own imperial examination, so Zhao Yan can only pinch his nose and admit it.
Forget it, the word Guomei is the United States, and it is finally not called the United States, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
Now that he has given words, Han Wen has implicitly regarded Zhao Yan as his junior, and there is a closeness in his words.
"Guomei, you can be humble and studious, and this official appreciates it very much. It's just that you are still young, it is not easy to be the first person to be the county test, the government test is mainly examined by the official, although you and I are old people, but the official is not a favoritist person, and the government test is not better than the county test, the article needs to be vague after the article is written, so don't have a fluke heart. ”
Zhao Yan thought for a while, and thanked him: "The words of the Fuzun have been written down by the students, so the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... Gain what they can't, and the students are very grateful. It's just that the students heard that someone had fornicated with the examiner during the previous government examination and cheated on the papers, and the students hated it very much, but they were also quite frightened in their hearts. Students have confidence in their own talents, but they are afraid that someone will affect the fairness of the marking for their own interests when marking the papers, and the students will be fine if they fall off the list, and they are afraid that those people will go too far, in case they arouse the anger of some readers, and then make some trouble, and tarnish the reputation of the mansion in vain. ”
"Don't be afraid." Han Wen suddenly said angrily: "The imperial examination is to select materials for the country, but some people have fallen into the eyes of money. I don't know who cheated in the previous government examination, but since the government has performed here, it will definitely ensure the fairness and fairness of the government examination. ”
Zhao Yan nodded and stopped, he believed that his words had planted a seed in Hanwen's heart, when the government test papers, Hanwen was very likely to take out his own test papers separately to read, as long as his articles were passable, presumably Hanwen would not be so ruthless.
Zhao Yan and Han Wen were talking in the hall, when a sudden report came from outside: "Report...... The eldest lord, there are two people outside the front door who ask to see him, saying that it is the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard and his lieutenant, and they want to have an interview with the eldest lord because of official business. ”
Jin Yiwei? Why did these scum come to the official office? Han Wen hated Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but it was a pity that the backstage of these two yamen was Wang Zhen, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and even Ma Yu, a cabinet scholar, did not dare to take him lightly, not to mention his small four-grade prefect.
After thinking for a moment, Governor Han still said outside: "Bring them here, and the official will go to change clothes." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Yan felt that it was time to leave, so he arched his hand and said: "Today, I have been taught by the Fuzun, and the students have benefited a lot, so I will leave." ”
Governor Han encouraged him a few more words, then ordered someone to lead Zhao Yan and saw him leave the hall.
The road to the time is the same as the road to come, Zhao Yan is not a road idiot, even if he can go out, but since the Han prefect was kind enough to let him show the way, it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so he followed the official and walked while looking at the surrounding buildings and scenery.
When detouring to the lobby of the government office, Zhao Yan unexpectedly met the two Jinyi guards on a narrow road, and according to the system, the people should avoid the officials, so Zhao Yan and the officials who led the way avoided to the side, and waited for the officials and the two Jinyi guards who led the way on the opposite side to pass first.
Zhao Yan swept a figure out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt very familiar, and he raised his head slightly to take a peek, but he didn't want to see the face that had only been separated for a short time, but the outfit on his body had been changed into the flying fish suit exclusive to Jinyiwei.
The words 'Brother Li' were about to be exported, but Li Xun on the opposite side suddenly made a look, Zhao Yan understood, and lowered his head again as a 'quail'.
Li Xun is Jinyiwei? Isn't he the second son in the family, although his father Li Xun is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but Li Xun has no right to inherit, so he devoted himself to the imperial examination, why did he change his body now and put on a Jinyi Guard's clothes to see the Han Governor's Mansion? And when he left, he lied that he was going to visit his father's old friend?
Zhao Yan returned to the inn with doubts, of course Li Xun had not returned, Liu Jing, Qian Liangcai, and Zhang Wenyuan were sitting in the lobby of the inn drinking, and there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table.
Liu Jing's face was red, obviously he had drunk a lot, but he seemed to be quite clear, he saw Zhao Yan smiled and beckoned, pointed to the piece of paper on the table and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, you can be counted as back, just now I talked about the last time you came out of the upper link on the Shenzhou Shiyun Building, but one of you thought of a lower link, you come and see." ”
The last time Zhao Yan gave Qian Liangcai a couplet, it was 'think about it before and after, look at the left biography, and turn the book to the right', and now nearly two months have passed, but I didn't expect a few people to remember, and each of them wrote a pair of downlink.
Zhao Yan picked up the paper and looked at it, only to see that his own pair of upper links was written on the paper first, and then three lower links were written below.
One of them is 'sit in the north and face south, eat watermelon, and throw the skin to the east', and a character is written on the back, which should be made by Zhang Wenyuan. The second is 'stroke up and down, go through the back door, and touch forward with your hand', which is made by Liu Jing. The third is 'wintering to spring, saying summer lotus, and children ending in autumn', which is naturally made by Qian Liangcai.
Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing after reading it, if he said the best right, he would naturally take Zhang Wenyuan as the most, followed by Qian Liangcai, and finally Liu Jing, but the most interesting of them is naturally made by Liu Jing.
Seeing Zhao Yan's expression, Liu Jing smiled and said to Qian Liangcai: "Brother Qian, how is it?" I said that Brother Zhao Xian is a member of my generation, otherwise how can I understand my next link. ”
Zhang Wenyuan next to him is an honest child, although he is engaged but not yet married, and has not been in contact with women, he was ignorant when he heard this, and asked blankly: "What is the meaning of Brother Liu's next link?" ”
Liu Jing smiled meaningfully: "Brother Zhang Xian, in this couplet, the most meaningful thing in this couplet is the word 'go through the back door', now that the government test is imminent, I won't talk to you today, so as not to distract you." After the government tried, the foolish brother will explain a thing or two to the virtuous brother. ”
"Brother Liu, you are a misguided child." Qian Liangcai said with a smile on the side.
The allusion to going through the back door comes from "You Ling Zhen Opera" in "Yi Jianzhi", which is related to Cai Jing, the traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Wenyuan has read a wide range of books, so he naturally knows it, but the 'going through the back door' in Liu Jing's words seems to have ulterior motives, but this is not something that the honest boy Zhang Wenyuan can understand.
