Chapter 57: A Chance Encounter with Hangul
After a little bit of plucking by the talented person, Wu Gou suddenly realized: "Wonderful." First, three layers are heavy to three, and layers of pagodas are heavy to heavy fairy pavilions; Second, Kong Ming said to the cloud house, the former refers to the bright window hole and the word Zhuge Liang, and the latter refers to the fairy cloud full house which also fits the word Zhong Liquan; Third, Zhuge Liang refers to the fact that each attic is lit, which is homophonic with Zhuge Liang, and Zhong Li curls up in the bell and is homophonic with Zhong Liquan; Fourth, Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang are the same person, Zhuge is a compound surname, Yunfang is also the same person as Zhong Liquan, Zhong Li is also a compound surname, and Zhao is really a talent. ”
Zhao Yan said modestly: "Where is it...... I heard that your inn has set up two difficulties, if you pass this first level, you can stay in an ordinary room at half price for half a month, I don't know if it counts at this time? ”
"Nature counts." Wu Yu stretched out his hand and asked, "Zhao is the first to look at this second couplet, if you can come out, you can stay in the upper room for free for half a month, and you only need to inscribe a poem on the inner wall of the hall." ”
Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan followed Wu Yu into the lobby of the inn, and saw a pair of upper couplets hanging below the second floor, with the text on it saying, 'A cup of tea, quench the thirst of the yuan.' ’
A cup of tea is easy to say, mainly because the three "solution" words are difficult to match, the first one reads the solution of "quenching thirst", the sound is the same as that of sister, the second reads the solution of "Xie Jin", the sound is the same as Xie, and the third reads the solution of "Xie Yuan", and the sound is the same as borrowing.
It is said that at the beginning of the country, Xie Jin, a great talent, participated in the township test and won the first place, the first name of the township test was called Xie Yuan, once he was thirsty in the mountains, and asked an old man for tea, the old man asked him for his identity, Xie Jin directly said that he was 'Xie Xie Yuan', the old man wanted to frustrate Xie Jin's sharpness, so he came out with a pair of upper and lower links, as long as he could give him tea to drink, but in the end this Xie Da talent did not drink the tea, until a long time later, this Xie Da genius had an idea to come out of the next couplet.
Xie Jin's later couplet is 'Seven Strings Wonderful Song, Le Le Yuefu Sound', the first is the music of 'joy', the sound is the same Le, the second is the music of 'Le Yi', the sound is the same month, it is the surname, and the third is the music of 'Yuefu', the sound is the same month, and Yuefu is the official name.
If you interpret this couplet in this way, you can barely explain the past, but there are two other pronunciations of this musical word, one of which is the same as 'waterlogging', which is the name of a place, such as Leling and Leting; A sound is the same as 'to', which is the meaning of appreciation, such as in the Yongye chapter of the Analects, Zi said: The knower is happy with water, and the benevolent is from Leshan, and the music word is read as "to", and I don't know how to arrange the pronunciation of this lower couplet.
In Zhao Yan's opinion, this second joint is actually simpler than the first one, if you are poor in picking out words, it may take a lot of effort to come up with another couplet, but Zhao Yan really doesn't have the energy, so he has to regret it: "This couplet is absolute, and only a big talent like Xie Bachelor can come out, but there is nothing that can be done below." ”
These two levels were originally set up by Wu Yan to enhance the reputation of his inn, at this time, seeing that Zhao Yan was unwilling to continue this second link, he was not easy to force, but Zhao Yan was a famous juvenile case leader in Zhending Mansion, and now he can stay in Huisheng Inn It is a good thing, if he can let this young man leave some ink treasures, it will be even better.
The plan has been decided, and Wu Yu bowed and said: "Case leader Zhao, there is a reluctant request below, and I also ask the head of Zhao to agree." ”
Zhao Yanxin said, you yourself have already said that you are reluctant to ask, what else can I say? It was really hard to find a place to stay.
"Please also ask Wu Gongzi to speak clearly."
Wu Wu said: "There are two upper rooms on the second floor, as long as Zhao can write a new poem on the wall and leave his name and surname, he can stay for free for half a month, I don't know if Zhao will agree?" ”
Zhao Yan just wanted to take a good bath at this time, and then sleep after eating, and didn't say anything more when he heard the words, and after taking the inkstone and brush, he inscribed a poem on the wall.
After Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan were led to the room by the shopkeeper, some people in the audience looked at a few lines of words on the wall, and slowly read: "Li Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, and they are no longer fresh. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. This little case leader is so big......"
Others sneered: "People have the confidence to boast, do you have it?" ”
……
For Zhao Yi's "On Poetry", Zhao Yan remembered it quite clearly, but he forgot to be included in the primary school textbook or the middle school textbook, but at this time, it was enough to deal with Wu Yi.
After a good night's rest, the second day is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the noise in the street market outside the window is endless, Zhao Yan thinks that he can't do it without hearing the things outside the window, and only reads the sage books, so he must not be able to read the books, Zhang Wenyuan is the same, the two got together to discuss it, and then decided to go around the market to see how the people of Fucheng celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew has been postponed until midnight, and the streets are full of people, mostly families or a few close friends, including students like Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan who came to take the entrance examination.
Lantern riddles are also known as Wenhu, not the Lantern Festival will have, when it is not night, the doors of the shops in the market have hung three or five unique lanterns, and the lantern riddles hanging below are hanging.
When the moon hangs high at night, the lanterns in the city market have been lit, and a few people will gather under each lantern to guess the lantern riddles.
When the two of them wandered around Fuqian Street, they found that it was the most lively, and the lanterns hanging in front of the shops were also the most chic and exquisite.
A vendor selling moon cakes on the side of the road saw Zhao Yan and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this yesterday's two Langjun, do you want to guess the lantern riddle, guess this lamp and give it to the two Langjun." ”
Zhao Yan naturally remembered this peddler Li Da who fell into the eyes of money, and he saw that there was also a shoddy lantern hanging in front of Li Da's stall, and a few words were written on the slip of paper hanging below, so he stopped and looked at it.
When you draw, you are round, when you write, you are warm, but you are not cold.
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "The riddle is the word 'day'. ”
This lantern riddle was thought of by Li Da for a long time, but he didn't expect to be broken by the little Langjun in front of him at a glance, although he was reluctant, he had to reach out to untie the lantern.
Zhao Yan looked at the lantern that was pasted with something I don't know, and said busily: "Brother Li should keep this lantern for himself, just give me two mooncakes to eat." ”
Li Tiantian was happy, so he picked up two moon cakes and handed them over.
After walking for a long time, Zhao Yan and the others were really a little hungry, and after saying goodbye to Li Dahou, they wanted to find a restaurant to fill their stomachs while eating moon cakes.
A moment later, a restaurant called Yakeju appeared in front of the two, with an unusually large wooden lantern hanging at the door of the restaurant, and a circle of people below was discussing.
Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan were really hungry, so they didn't go to join in the fun, so they walked into the lobby of the restaurant and ordered a few dishes, asked for a pot of sake, and sat on the table near the door to drink to the moon.
When the two of them had eaten almost, Zhao Yan heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "Brother Shen, the name of this elegant guest house is good, it is better to rest here for a while." ”
Another clear voice replied: "According to Brother Han's words, go down to ...... The foolish brother is indeed a little tired from walking. ”
Han Governor's Mansion? Is this a micro-service to observe the people's feelings, or is the micro-service to have fun with the people? That Shen brother is not mentioning the imperial history of Shen Yan?
Seeing the figure of the Han Governor's Mansion appear at the door, Zhao Yan couldn't pretend not to see it, but since the Han Governor's Mansion was traveling in a micro-service, he obviously didn't want to reveal his identity, so he pulled Zhang Wenyuan up and arched his hand and said, "The two students have seen Han Shibo." ”
Han Wen was stunned, although he had been in office in Fucheng for more than a year, the exposure rate was not high, but he didn't expect to be recognized at this time.
After seeing Zhao Yan's appearance clearly, Han Wen laughed, secretly praised Zhao Yan's name for himself, and then said: "It turned out to be Guomei, but I forgot that you will also come to participate in the hospital exam." ”
Beside Han Wen stood a scribe in a long green silk robe, with a thin body, a slightly dark complexion, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes under thick eyebrows, and a face full of determination.
Hearing Han Wen mention the hospital examination, the expression on this person's face moved slightly, and then a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Brother Han, I don't know who this is?" ”
Han Wen beckoned Zhao Yan, first introduced the scribe to him and said, "This is a friend of the old man, you can call him Mr. Shen." ”
This Mr. Shen saw that Han Wen introduced himself very vaguely, and secretly said that he was wrong to blame Han Governor's Mansion, and he really met these two scholars by chance?
After introducing Mr. Shen, Han Wen said: "Brother Shen, this is the head of the government examination I talked to you about before, Shenzhou Zhao Guomei. As for the one behind him......"
Seeing this, Zhao Yan hurriedly pulled Zhang Wenyuan over, took the opportunity to squeeze his arm hard, suggesting that he should not talk much, and then greeted Mr. Shen first, and then said: "This is Zhang Haoxue of Shenzhou who came to the exam with the students, and the previous government exam was also among the top three. ”
Zhang Wenyuan had already seen Han Governor's Mansion when he tried it, and at this time, he got Zhao Yan's hint and cheered up, and met with Han Wen and Mr. Shen successively.
This Mr. Shen is indeed as Zhao Yan guessed, it is Shen Yan, the imperial history of Beizhili, who met Han Wen by chance before, and can be regarded as old friends.
The Imperial History is selected from the supervision of the Imperial History, and the main position is to supervise the academic administration, although the responsibilities are different from the lowly and powerful 'Patrol Imperial History', but they can still hear about things.
After arriving at the prefect's office, Han Wen became more and more experienced as an official, and he was ranked as a fourth-grade official, although he was much higher than the seventh-grade imperial history, but he was also afraid that he would neglect this Shen Tixue, and it would not be beautiful to let him participate in a book, so he has been deliberately lowering his figure and making friends.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Wen has a family to serve, but Shen Yan is alone, Han Wen is afraid that he will be lonely, so he proposes to take a walk in the city.
