Chapter 14 When a poem comes out, who competes!
Xie Shen is in a good mood, very good!
After purchasing a large set of study utensils, Xie Shen walked to his bamboo building. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Anyway, he doesn't need to spend money on these stationery utensils, so he has to buy more if he can buy more.
Wang Shouwen is also a son of a family, naturally he will not miss these silver, he heard that Xie Shen is quite talented, and he has won the praise of the county, so he naturally intends to make friends.
It can be said that this is a thing that is beneficial to both parties, and Xie Shen did not feel embarrassed at all when he took these study utensils.
But then again, it's okay to invite Wang Shouwen to a light meal.
Wang Shouwen is thirteen years old this year, one year older than Xie Shen, and he is also generous when he heard that he is going to be a guest at the Xie family.
When the two returned to the bamboo building together, it was already dark, Xie Shen's sister-in-law Xie Chen was cooking in the stove room on the first floor, and when she saw Xie Shen coming back, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and said with a smile: "Xiaolang is back?" Hey, who is the boy next to you? ”
"Sister-in-law, this is my classmate Wang Shouwen, let's eat with us for dinner today."
Xie Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, then the slave family will prepare some more meals." ”
"Thank you."
Wang Shouwen was obviously that kind of restrained character, and when he saw Xie Chen smiling at him, his face turned red. Xie Shen saw his embarrassment, so he pulled Wang Shouwen to the second floor.
The attic on the second floor is Xie Shen's inner room and study, which is a little old but very complete.
However, these are a little shabby in the eyes of Wang Shouwen, a son from a family.
Xie Shen sat on a prescription stool with a big grin and beckoned Wang Shouwen to sit down.
Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "I didn't expect Brother Xie Xian's family background to be so poor. Although a certain family background is much better than Brother Xie Xian, his knowledge is much worse, and he is really ashamed. ”
Xie Shen smiled heartily and said, "How can there be any conclusion about such a thing. I just got a few words of praise from the county, and I don't necessarily have a higher level of knowledge than you. Besides, this kind of thing is very interesting, it is better to have a few glasses of wine together! ”
"Brother Xie Xian is a cheerful person."
The solemnity on Wang Shouwen's face finally dissipated, and he said loudly: "In the future, if Brother Xie Xian needs anything, even if he mentions it, he will definitely do his best to help." ”
Xie Shen was naturally overjoyed in his heart. Although this Wang Shouwen is a standard son of a family, it can be seen that he is not arrogant and domineering, and his character is still very upright. Making friends with such people is definitely beneficial and harmless. What's more, he also has a grandmaster-level elder brother, and through this relationship, he and Wang Yangming are called brothers and sisters, which is definitely of great benefit to Xie Shen's imperial examination path.
Xie Shen is not a person who is scheming and planning, but when the opportunity is placed in front of him, he will never let it go.
Not long after the two of them sat in the attic, Xie Chen came to call them for dinner.
Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen went down to the attic and sat around a table with Xie Chen's and had a coarse tea and light meal.
Although Xie Chen's specially added vegetables, the brown-black pickle gnocchi was really not what Wang Shouwen was used to eating. Wang Shouwen politely ate a few pieces of pickles and stopped eating.
Xie Shen sighed in his heart, some things are not something that can be changed if you want to.
After dinner, Xie Shen sent Wang Shouwen out of the house and returned to the attic.
Tomorrow I will officially enter the Three Flavors Academy, so I have to rest well tonight.
......
......
There was nothing to say all night, and when the morning light was faint, Xie Shen got up to wash.
After eating a piece of pancake as usual and eating a bowl of rice porridge, Xie Shen carried the cloth bag to the Three Flavors Academy.
Sanwei Academy is divided into two levels according to the age of the students, and most of the students at the lower level are in the age of 123, and they need to prepare for the county examination in the coming year. The students of the higher level are prepared for the examination of the township examination.
Xie Shen came to the hall of the academy early, sat down in his seat, took out the study utensils and Zhu Ziji's notes, and closed his eyes for a nap.
It's really sleepy to wake up early, and reading is also a personal task.
"Brother Xie Xian, you came so early."
Listening to the voice, he knew that it was Wang Shouwen, Xie Shen opened his eyes and said, "It's not too late for Brother Shouwen to come." Sit down. ”
Wang Shouwen sat down beside Xie Shen and said with a faint smile: "Last night, I went back to the mansion and secretly went to the stove room to pick up a piece of cake to eat, but I starved to death. ”
Xie Shen rolled his eyes angrily and said, "You can't get used to eating pickle gnocchi yourself, you deserve to be hungry." ”
After the two frolicked, Confucius walked from outside the house with his hands on his back.
Seeing that the students had almost arrived, Confucius said in a deep voice: "Today is full of spring and flowers are in full bloom, so you will make a poem with the theme of early spring." ”
The third test for children is a typical basic selection test, and the questions are not very difficult, but the articles are required to be clever and distinctive. Therefore, for the sake of utilitarianism, many teachers will require candidates to write a large number of current essays, and use the sea of questions to train the sensitivity and intention of writing essays.
Confucius was born as a jinshi, so he naturally knew what kind of essays were most pleasing to the examiners, but he obviously didn't want his students to be just bound by the current texts, so he would also have requirements for poetry.
Xie Shen's heart sank, as soon as the academy started, Confucius asked them to compose poems, and the rhythm was really fast. Although it was already the middle of the Ming Dynasty at this time, a lot of good poems in the Tang and Song dynasties could not be copied, but many famous poems of the Ming and Qing dynasties were still waiting to be picked.
Xie Shen thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and dipped it in ink.
In just a few moments, a seven-word quatrain was on paper.
It just so happened that Confucius walked to Xie Shen's side, and when he saw that Xie Shen had made a poem in a short period of time, he was naturally interested.
"The warm waves of the river reflect the sun, and several families live in Shuiyun Township.
In the flowers of the hibiscus hut, there are also swings out of the short wall. ”
After chanting, Kong Dedao nodded frequently.
"Good poetry, good poetry. In just a few sentences, this poem outlines the scene of early spring in the water town, and the sentence 'There is also a swing out of the short wall' is the finishing touch! ”
"Thank you, Master." In Sanwei Academy, Kong Dedao's identity is that of a teacher rather than a county teacher, and it is obviously more appropriate for Xie Shen to call him a master.
Xie Shen said that copying poems is really the best, and Yang Shen, one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty, is really not a mortal.
He also wanted to write a poem like Linjiang Immortal to pretend to be forced, but he really didn't have a chance. If it is forcibly pretended, it will arouse the suspicion of Confucius. And this song "Early Spring" is very appropriate to the occasion, and it will not make people feel abrupt.
In Kong Dedao's heart, Xie Shen is obviously already a prodigy.
In fact, there were not many prodigies in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not uncommon for Xie Shen to be good at writing poetry at the age of twelve.
"The children can be taught!"
Kong Dedao stroked the long hair on his chin and said with a smile; "You were able to write this poem at such a young age, and you really have a great talent. It seems that there is a reason why the county respected you recommended you to the old man to study. ”
