Chapter 188: A Prose Essay on the Fifth Floor
Luo Yan was actually a little skeptical of Qin Ren'an's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Where is there anyone who speaks ill of his own family. Qin Ren'an said this, either the bachelors in this state were really a little arrogant, or Qin Ren'an himself had a holiday with those scholars. But it doesn't matter, when the time comes, I'll go to the Wenhui to have a look, and I'll know everything soon.
Luo Yan promised Qin Ren'an that he had such a plan. If it is true as he said, then it is necessary to teach those people a lesson. But if there is a discrepancy in the facts, then you can also encourage it as a doctor. Anyway, what Luo Yan needs is just that these state students don't make trouble in their own hands.
If you really talk about respect and the like, it's better to concoct a few articles yourself. If the discipline is related to the official position, don't expect too much.
Through Qin Ren'an, Luo Yan learned that this send-off meeting was initiated by the three legendary scholars who could take the quota for the scientific examination. The time was just two days later. Relying on a prominent family background and a large amount of materials, he contracted the highest restaurant in the city - Xiangmanlou. The owner behind Xiangmanlou is said to have a good background, and has been operating in Golden State for several years, and no one knows who it is.
It is not in vain to say that this fragrant building is full of buildings. Where the incense comes from, it is the unique wine in that building. Heung Man Lou exclusively brews a liquor called Ren's Self-Drunkenness, which is made from several kinds of flowers and fruits commonly found in the Northland. It is rumored to take two years from fermentation to brewing, and for the kind of overflowing liquor that can be produced in a few months, this man is considered a good self-intoxication.
What's more valuable is that this wine smells of a unique floral and fruity aroma, which is partial to the mouth, mellow and spicy. When drinking, you can only taste the taste by taking small sips.
That's all there is to it. Perhaps it is because the materials are rare and the process is complicated, and the wine of this fragrant building is sold for ten catties a day, and it is never excessive. And it is only provided to drink in the building, and it is not allowed to be taken outside.
Only people like Luo Yan who came from the afterlife know that this is not hunger marketing.
It is precisely such harsh conditions, coupled with the excellent hardware facilities of Xiangmanlou, that it is the number one signboard of Jinzhou Restaurant as soon as it opens. Every day, there is an endless stream of drunkards who come to compete for this person's drunkenness, and some people come for a month in a row, and they may not be able to grab it.
These three gentlemen were able to wrap up this fragrant building, and they also spent a lot of money. Coupled with the relationship between the forces in the family, this can have this one-day cultural meeting.
Of course, on the day of the Wenhui, the ten-pound people who were full of incense were drunk, and they were used by the Wenhui. And the three people who initiated the cultural meeting also knew how to win people's hearts, and announced to the public that all the wine parties would be used at the cultural meeting. even released a bold statement that on the day of the literary meeting, no matter what his identity is, but talented scholars will use poetry and articles to win this fragrant wine.
Such a momentum, coupled with the fact that Yu Shizong and many masters of the state school of Jinzhou will be present, actually attracted everyone who has read some books in Jinzhou to flock to this state city.
It can be regarded as Luo Yan's luck, if he comes one day late, I am afraid that he will not even be able to find a place to live.
Anxin stayed in this inn for two nights, and early in the morning of the third day, Qin Ren'an came to look for Luo Yan.
"Lang Jun must hurry, there will be a pass at the door of Xiangmanlou today to verify his identity. The meeting officially started at noon, and if you go late, you will go to the meeting for the most part. Qin Ren'an was a little anxious. At this time, it was only a little later, and on the way here, he found a lot of people going to Xiangmanlou.
If you really drag it until the end of the day, I'm afraid you will only be able to smell the wine outside.
Qin Ren'an's remarks evoked Luo Yan's memories. Thinking about the crowding at Li Shimin's celebration banquet at the beginning, it must be such a grand occasion today. Accepting the thought, Luo Yan smiled at Qin Ren'an: "Brother Qin, don't panic. I've seen a larger cultural meeting than this, and it's enough to pass two hours in advance. ā
Luo Yan was right, when the two of them arrived at Xiangmanlou, it was true that the streets were crowded with people. But there are few people who actually go up to verify their identities. To put it bluntly, most of the people who come here are watching the lively people. Those who are really talented and learn must be invited, and they can enter directly without verification.
However, when Luo Yan heard the way of verification, he immediately became interested.
The building is divided into five floors, and there are five kinds of tests. The first layer examines the "Analects" scriptures, the second layer examines the Moyi of the Great Sutra, the third layer examines the understanding of the scriptures, the fourth layer examines the seven-word poems, and the fifth layer examines the endowment.
With such a well-defined test, Luo Yan also felt that the people who held the cultural meeting were attentive. This test is a test of a person's level of knowledge. Of course, it seems that the operator has a intention to keep people out of the fifth layer. Think about a fu, from the manuscript to the writing, these two hours are not enough at all. Coupled with the level, this is even more difficult.
Qin Ren'an looked at this test of increasing difficulty, and muttered to himself: "These guys didn't even think about making me wait for this fifth layer. It's not easy to do a fu in two hours. ā
Hearing Qin Ren'an say this, Luo Yan could only say helplessly: "If you want to subdue him and others, you have to write this fu if you don't write it." I'm going to go and see what the subject is. If I can't do it, it can only be said that my knowledge is shallow. Otherwise, how to be turned away. ā
In front of the Xiangmanlou, there is still a special road for these scholars who want to participate in the test. On this trail, idlers and others are not allowed to stand over. And there are special officers to help maintain order. Luo Yan followed this road and came to the door under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
Luo Yan was the first to walk up. The onlookers also waited for several moments, and at this moment they saw someone go up, and then looked carefully at Luo Yan, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, although he was not like Pan An, but the temperament of a scholar was revealed. There are many psychological factors that add points, but Luo Yan has not yet chosen the type of test, and he has won a lot of applause.
As Luo Yan got closer and closer to the table where the topic was selected, the front of Xiangmanlou was unusually quiet. Everyone wants to see which floor the first person to step forward will choose to go to.
Closer, closer. Luo Yan's every step seemed to be stepping on the heartbeat of the onlookers. Everyone in the field seemed to hold their breath, quietly waiting for Luo Yan to stretch out his hand.
I saw Luo Yan standing in front of the table, his right hand stretched out, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the thin piece of paper on the far right of the table. Then someone took it and read: "Jinzhou Fu." ā
Nothing else, just those three words. People who don't know how to do it may sound like it's just a step better than writing poetry. But in the eyes of connoisseurs, this is definitely a problem for everyone.
Historically, the most difficult part of writing has been the place where it is written. Why? It's about celebrating a place. If you don't know the history of the place, no matter how much you write, it's just a little more flowery. This kind of level, as long as you are a literati, can basically make it.
And in front of so many Golden State people, there is still a time limit, this difficulty. Maybe it's not so difficult to take the imperial examination. There was a good show to watch now, and some of the self-proclaimed knowledgeable onlookers explained the difficulty of this fu to those around them with bewildered faces.
If Luo Yan can't do it, he will really become a laughing stock.
What to do, since you have already chosen, then write. But before that, there is still some preparation required.
"I wonder if I can give you a jar of wine first? Wine money will be served later. "Some people say that drinking and smoking before writing is all pretending. But only those who write know that sometimes alcohol and tobacco are just a medium for inspiration. If you really fall into the ocean of thinking, you can swallow it even if you change the wine to ink.
Seeing that Luo Yan still had such a request, the restaurant did not refuse, and quickly took out a jar of very ordinary water wine.
motioned to the person next to him to pour wine for him, while Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the side, pouring one cup after another into his mouth. And the mind also imagines in this repetitive action.
Looking back on the history of Jinzhou in his mind, Luo Yan has accumulated four or six couplets with one sentence. A jar of wine, in Luo Yan's unconscious drinking, was only gone for most of the hour. When he raised his glass again, he found that there was no wine in the glass, and the person pouring wine next to him looked at him with a smile, and Luo Yan knew that it was time.
"The hinterland of Bashan, the shore of the Han River. The east is connected to the old Chu, and Tianfu is the neighbor. It belongs to one county and governs five counties, and the city is 100 years old and has a history of 1,000 years. In just one sentence, following the model of "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", Luo Yan explained the location of Jinzhou clearly.
"The jade title is splendid, but the clouds are gone. Advocating Kui painting, only Ankang Jiadi. The Han River flows rapidly, and the mountains on both sides of the river are clear; The birds fly and the sand is white, and the ancient river is frightened. Nuwa mends the sky, refining stones and leveling profits, Dayu controls the water, and inhabits Taiji. Hanyin copper bells, Baihe Chu Great Wall. Qinling ancient plank road, Ziyang white horse stone. In this regard, it is to advocate the long history and beautiful scenery of Golden State.
"People and things are new, and the world is prosperous. "When Luo Yan wrote all the stories and things he could think of, and by the way, he added his expectations for the place of Jinzhou, and then it was just a little preaching, and it was only two or three moments of time.......
Luo Yan was reading inside, and someone outside was taking notes. By the time Luo Yan shut up, those people had finished recording in their hands. Counting carefully, there are more than 500 words, but everything in this Golden State has not been left behind. The onlookers were just trying to be lively, and when they saw that there was a scholar around him who had grown up and had an incredible face, he pulled it with his hand and asked, "I said, how is the article made by the young man in the field, will he enter the fifth layer?" ā
People who don't understand naturally want to know a result. But those who know a little bit about the prose will know that for many years in Jinzhou, few people have written local endowments. Of the more than 20 articles that have been circulated in the world, none of them can compare to Luo Yan's article.
Hearing someone ask if the boy on the field could get into the fifth floor, these gentlemen couldn't help but say, "If he can't get in." Of those who have been invited today, how many of them can get in with their true skills? (To be continued.) )
