"Uncle Yong, this year's volume is really impressive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mei Zhi said with a smile.

"How?" Ouyang Xiu looked at Mei Zhi and the others, and said with a smile: "The rough ranking is out?" ”

"It's a good roll." "Among them, however, there are two volumes that stand out the most. The four of us felt that the provincial examination must depend on these two people. ”

"Oh?" Ouyang Xiu was a little curious, he knew that one of the two test papers must be from Gu Yan, he had already read Gu Yan's article, and it was really well written, this time there was an article comparable to this article? He smiled, "There are such good articles, why don't you show me first?" ”

Mei Zhi laughed: "Didn't Zhijing Ren show you one first?" The four of us are in the back, and I am lucky enough to find another good article, how can I let you take the lead again? ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled, took the two test papers easily, found the strategy part, and looked at it, sure enough, one of them was the one he had seen before, and he put it aside casually and looked at the other.

Looking at this article, Ouyang Xiu actually liked it more and more the more he read it. After reading it, I couldn't help but admire: "Such an article, I should avoid this person!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and among them, Han Jiang's face was the most ugly, and he said disapprovingly: "This is too much!" ”

After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he also felt a little too much in his heart, especially when he still had a good article at hand. However, there is a reason why he appreciates this article so much, he can see the shadow of his youth from this article, and what is even more rare is that not only the style of writing is very appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, but the thoughts and opinions in it also make Ouyang Xiu agree very much. However, he still had some worries in his heart.

"Putting aside the policy theory, which of these two volumes of poetry and scripture is better or worse?" Ouyang Xiu asked with a deep groan.

"It would be good if you could distinguish between the superior and inferior in the poems and scriptures, but these two are equally divided, and it is difficult to distinguish them." Fan Zhen sighed.

"There is an error in the dictionary of the Wushen volume, and there is a gap in the word Moyi, so it should be under the Ding Si volume." Han Jiang said.

"Otherwise, it is not exact whether there is an error in the dictionary of the Wushen volume, and I think that the test post poem made by the Wushen volume is due to the Ding Si volume." Mei Zhi retorted.

"Yuyu, what do you think?" Ouyang Xiu had a headache, and when he saw that Wang Qi on the side had not spoken, he opened his mouth and asked.

"It's hard to tell the difference. I'm just a shallow learner, and I really can't judge. Wang obviously didn't want to make an opinion.

Ouyang Xiu looked at Fan Zhen again, Fan Zhen glanced at Mei and Han who were facing each other, and made an expression of helplessness. He is really very contradictory, he likes the two articles equally, on the one hand, one is personally selected by him from many volumes, and it is inevitable that he will be psychologically biased, and on the other hand, compared to Han Jiang, he has a better personal relationship with Mei Zhi...... It's really a contradiction.

Ouyang Xiu re-read the two test papers, including Shifu and Tijing Moyi. According to his thoughts, the style of writing like his youth was more appealing to him, but he had to consider other factors. This time in the imperial examination, his protégé Zeng Gong Zeng Zigu also participated in the exam, and Ouyang Xiu was really not sure if this article was written by Zeng Gong. If this is an ordinary imperial examination, it would be enough, he prides himself on being upright, has not done anything wrong, and there is no need to avoid suspicion. However, this time, he held the idea of reviving the ancient texts, and completely deposed the examination papers of the Taixue style, presumably after the provincial examination was released, there must be many scholars who were not convinced, and in this case, the provincial examination Huiyuan was his protégé...... The consequences of this ...... Ouyang Xiu was a little worried. This time he is also desperate, this time he is too academic, presumably the official family will not let him be a trial officer in the future. There is only one chance to reverse the style of writing, and you must definitely seize it!

Ouyang Xiu's eyes moved away from the scroll with difficulty, and saw Gu Yan's scroll, Gu Yan is different, he has the fame of the world, and he is also a popular figure in this year's Huiyuan, if this Huiyuan is him, under the fame, no one will question it more. Not to mention...... Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered what the official said when he inspected the examination room: "If San Lang is in the ......" Thinking of this, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but make up his mind. He took a deep breath and said: "Since there are two words missing from the Wushen scroll, then this time Huiyuan will be with Ding Sijuan." ”

As soon as these words were finished, Wang Qi and Fan Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Han Jiang's brows also relaxed, but Mei Zhi was a little incredulous.

Han Jiang glanced at Mei Zhi, but said with a smile: "I'm curious, who are these two people, but we examiners have been pondering for a long time." “

Of course, you can't open it now, because the ranking has not yet been completely decided.

It wasn't until the evening that the provincial test ranking for the second year of Jiayou was completely determined.

"This is really 'coming out after a long time'" Fan Zhen said, "Uncle Yong, don't you open the test paper yet, let's see who this year's Huiyuan is?" ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled, didn't make a sound, picked up the knife on the side, and carefully cut the name.

Seeing the name revealed, an exclamation sounded: "Liangzhejiang Road Changzhou Gu Yan Yuzhi!" ”

"Hahaha. Gu Yuzhi really lives up to his reputation! Mei Zhi smiled, only to feel that the depression in her heart had disappeared a lot. couldn't help but look at Han Jiang, seeing that Han Jiang really showed an unbelievable expression, he couldn't help but feel a little gloating in his heart. Han Jiang didn't like Gu Yan and Gu Yuzhi, although he didn't say it directly, but Mei Zhi didn't know how to do it, and now the article that Han Jiang supported was actually done by Gu Yan, presumably Han Jiang must have mixed feelings in his heart!

Han Jiang's heart was indeed full of mixed feelings, he couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help frowning. Seeing that Han Jiang's face was different, Wang Qi opened his mouth and smiled: "Don't forget the Wushen volume!" Ding Sijuan was made by Gu Yuzhi, and who made Wushen Juan, but I am even more curious. ”

Hearing this, several deputy examiners looked at Ouyang Xiu one after another, only to see that Ouyang Xiu had a scroll in his hand, which had already been sealed, and Ouyang Xiu was staring at the name in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to write. Feeling the sight of several people, Ouyang Xiu came back to his senses and put the scroll on the table. All four of them leaned in.

"Su Shi Zizhan of Meizhou, Chengdu Fulu" Fan Zhen read out the name on it word by word, and doubted: "This is ......"

Mei Zhi was in a good mood and took the initiative to speak: "Didn't Jingren forget Su Mingyun of "The Book of Quan" and "On Balance"? ”

"Oh!" Fan Zhen suddenly realized, "It's the son of that one." He looked at Ouyang Xiu again, "Uncle Yong's name and his son are also a good story." Ouyang Xiu had already adjusted his emotions and smiled a few times.

"Now that the provincial test has ended, I will go to the official family first. Everyone, please don't be there. Ouyang Xiu smiled, suddenly looked at Fan Zhen and added with a smile, "Jingren! I heard that you want to invite your colleagues to drink, but don't miss me Ouyang Xiu! ”

============================================================================================================================================

About Ouyang Xiu...... When I was doing my homework, I saw the "Letter of Advice to Gao Si" that he wrote when he was about 20 years old, and it seemed that he couldn't have been more enjoyable. All kinds of ironies are not mentioned, and there is even a direct scolding: "Yesterday, Antao degraded the official, and the teacher treated the guilt, and he could still see the scholar doctor with his face, and he was called an official in and out of the court, and he no longer knew that there was a shame in the world." It's a pity, there is something in the holy court, the official does not say it and makes others say it, the book is in the annals of history, and he is ashamed of the court every day, and he is also a step. "There is no shying away from it, and the young man is full of spirit. It breaks my heart. Gao Ruone was scolded really miserably, especially when he saw that "I wish to carry this book directly to the court, so that the crime will be punished, so that the whole world will be relieved to know that Xiwen should be expelled, and he will also advise the ministers." With this sentence, I remembered that Gao Ruone really took this letter to the emperor and demoted Ouyang Xiu to Yiling, so I knew how angry Gao Ruone was. I saw the last paragraph, the sentence "The day before yesterday, I was at Andao's house, and I was summoned to discuss the matter of Greek." When there are other guests, you can't do everything. This is okay Ouyang Xiu had someone else there at the time, he was embarrassed to scold, and when he got home, he thought about it again and again, and felt angry, so he wrote a letter to scold him...... After reading this article, this Ouyang Xiu is definitely a fan of Fan Zhongyan! Today, I typed 'Uncle Yong' several times as 'Xiwen'......

and Su Xun's "The First Book of Ouyang Neihan" is also quite interesting. Now I can only read ancient texts while doing translation work. I'm too busy with homework to read books, and if I do, I still have a lot of books that require courses in foreign literature, philosophy, and aesthetics. Alas!
