Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fish Leaps into the Dragon Gate
As soon as Cao Xibao was unlucky, the good fortune of Wu Xinglan and Wu Xingqin came. The two brothers hugged each other excitedly and sang loudly: the middle lift is good, the middle lift is wonderful, and the feeling of the middle lift is croaking.
That's right, after these two people have worked hard in Xian'an Palace for most of their lives, they finally realized the dream they have had for many years: to become a lifter. It has successfully completed the transformation from a public institution to an administrative unit. And under the vigorous promotion of adults, Wu Province Qin Tong Shoes has now become the Xue Zheng (Director of the Education Bureau) of Zhili Prefecture, in charge of the township examination (college entrance examination).
It's not very good, though.
Maybe it's been suppressed for a long time, or maybe it's getting used to being poor, the first thing this product did after taking office was to clearly mark the price and openly cheat. And he also keeps accounts (sb one), who sends more, who gives less, he remembers it clearly in his notebook. Public shouting: Whoever gives more, who has school.
"I heard that some candidates posted pairs in front of the door of the examination room?" Wu Xingqin had just finished presiding over the township test of Zhili, and he rushed to pay homage to the lord's mansion. Don't forget to dig wells. But the face of the adults is not good-looking.
"This ......," Wu Xingqin stopped speaking this time.
Here's the thing. Since the implementation of the township test system of Qin children's shoes in Wu Province, many poor students have shown strong dissatisfaction: if you have money, you can go to school, and we have a fart! In anger, a bold candidate posted a couplet at the door of the examination room, scolding Wu Xingqin.
The pair is like this: Shanglian: Shaomu Yan can read Wending
Downlink: Owe Jin An to be famous
Horizontal criticism: mouth deceives the sky
I don't understand! Okay, let's do a Scrabble game. In the upper link, the words "less eye" can read the text, and the combination of the two words "less" and "eye" is a "province" word. The same is true for the lower link, 'owing Jin An can hope to be famous', 'owing' and 'gold', the two words together are one 'Qin'. Interesting, but it's not over yet. Let's look at the horizontal criticism, 'mouth deceives the sky', what kind of words are the words 'mouth' and 'day' combined? ! That's right, it's a 'Wu'.
The beauty of this couplet lies in the fact that the upper, lower and horizontal couplets of the couplet not only contain the name of Wu Xingqin, but also read catchy, commensurate with each other, and the semantics are smooth. Therefore, as soon as this couplet came out, it was recited by people for future generations to look forward to and admire.
Couplets, also known as couplets, couplets, door pairs, spring stickers, spring couplets, pairs, peach symbols, etc., a kind of duality, originated from peach symbols. It is a dual sentence written on paper, cloth, or carved on bamboo, wood, or pillars. Concise and profound, neat, evenly coordinated, with the same number of words and the same structure, it is a unique art form of Chinese language.
The couplet is said to have originated in five generations after the Shu lord Meng Chang, it is the cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, the couplet hung during the Spring Festival is called the Spring Festival couplet, and the couplet of the funeral is called the couplet.
If you want to learn couplets, it is not difficult, you only need to memorize a pair song: heaven to earth. Rain against wind. Continents against the sky. Thunder faintly. Foggy. Fortune. Everything works. Ping, Ping. Ping Ping, Ping Ping.
Horizontal batch: ไปไปๅนณ
Of course, it's hard to get a good match.
The pair song is very long, and if you want to master it, you need to study it.
I don't remember many couplets, I read one when I was a child, and I have remembered it until now: Shanglian: Shanghai's tap water comes from the sea. Downlink: People have been more than the Buddha of the Great Buddha Temple. It doesn't seem to be a horizontal batch.
At that time, I admired this couplet so much that it was a five-body throw, from left to right, from right to left. The key is to be reasonable, even, and neat. At the right time, it was absolutely amazing!
Later, I unintentionally browsed on the Internet, and suddenly found that there was a new lower link in this upper link, which really opened the eyes of the miscellaneous family. One couplet: Big Wave Mermaid Man Wave Big. There is also a more domineering couplet: Brother Zeng believed in Buddhism, but Buddha believed in Brother Zeng.
Sure enough, the master is in the folk.
Wu Xingqin was born in a professional class, and he has been a university professor for many years, and as soon as the couplet of 'Shaomu Yan can read Wending' and 'owe Jin An can hope for fame' came out, he Ma realized: This is scolding him.
**Naked cursing: You don't know anything, you only recognize gold and silver, you don't recognize people, and you deserve to be a bullshit director of education!
Wu Xingqin was very flustered: if the anger is aroused, the matter will not end well. At the moment, the couplets were hurriedly removed, and several public security officers were specially dispatched to patrol day and night.
It's against you! Brother has a state apparatus, who is my brother afraid of?!
This time, the candidates are stable, but the rumors are spreading. rushed out of Zhili and went straight to the capital.
As soon as he heard the news, he immediately picked up the ring ruler in his hand, and really wanted to beat him twice for his brother: Rub, just these two brushes, and tm licked his face and told me that he wanted to be the director of education?! Crazy, you!
"O provincial chin! If you want to do it in this position, you can't do it. I don't object to you taking cashiers, but you can't be so blatant?! Still bookkeeping?! Are you afraid that others won't be able to find out?! Your brain isn't in the water, is it?! If this matter gets to the emperor, no one will be able to protect you! โ
"Yes, yes, the student knows it's wrong, and it won't be like this next time!" Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, feng shui in turn. And now the adults have become his teacher's teacher.
Hey, this man, where are you going?!
"That's good!" And the adult sighed. For Wu Xingqin, he is still relatively relieved. Nerd, lack of flexibility. This kind of person does things in a proper manner and can't cause any big trouble. "Naoli Xuezheng is a fat poor, you must cherish it!"
"Sir, please rest assured, the province has its own measure."
"When I think of fat difference, I think of Dou Guangnai. He is the chief examiner of this year's exam, and Ji Xiaolan and I are just invigilators. It's a pity that it's such a good opportunity......"
Dou Guangnai, a native of Zhucheng, Shandong, was a jinshi in the seventh year of Qianlong (1742), and successively served as the Yin of Shuntianfu, the examiner of Fujian, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace. Knowledgeable, ancient, honest and honest, upright, not afraid of the powerful, won the respect of Qianlong. A few years ago, Sheng Zhu's incident was stabbed by him.
"But no, it's a pity that this kind of beauty falls into his hands......" Wu Xingqin longed for the examiner of the examination.
"That's it, let him go......"
In the Qing Dynasty, the examination was held every three years. In the spring of March, the capital was crowded with people from all over the country rushing to take the exam. The exam is about to start, and as an invigilator, it is natural to go to the Gongyuan (examination room) to have a look to ensure the smooth progress of the exam.
On this day, as soon as he came to the gate of the Gongyuan, he ran into Ji Xiaolan's children's shoes.
"Mr. Ji is here......" greeted the adults cordially. To tell the truth, he really likes this little old man: he is too knowledgeable about current affairs!
"Yo, it turned out to be Lord He, what a coincidence, what a coincidence......" Ji Xiaolan went up and held Lord He's hand and kept shaking it.
"Calm, calm. Since it's such a coincidence, let's go in and take a look?! โ
"And my lord, please ...... first."
Gongyuan, also known as Wensi Temple, is a three-entry courtyard that sits in the north and faces south. The gate is open to the five wings, the first door dragon gate, there are three plaques hanging on it, the east plaque is inscribed with "Ming Jing to take scholars", the middle plaque is inscribed with "opening the astronomical luck", and the west is inscribed with "seeking talents for the country". The two talked and laughed and entered the first gate and came to the second inner dragon gate. Thousands of brick-walled and tile-roofed houses have been built in the inner dragon gate, which are specially used by candidates to answer the papers, eat and stay in it.
"Our inner dragon gate is really getting more and more depressed, and most of the candidates have gone to Liyu Hutong." While walking with adults, he smiled and talked to Ji Xiaolan. In fact, it is a good thing for the candidate to enter the carp alley, where he opened a lot of shops, and when the examination is held every three years, the wealth is not less.
"I didn't expect a superstitious legend to achieve so many people."
"Oh? Does this carp alley have any other origins? โ
"I don't know with adults?!"
"I really don't know."
"That's ......"
According to legend, there was a big exam in Beijing one year, and candidates from all over the world gathered in Beijing. There was a candidate from Henan who happened to walk into Beijing to take the exam because his family was poor, but he came late and the Gongyuan was full. When he was helpless, an old man in the alley near the Gongyuan took it in. The day before the exam, there was a sudden heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and a golden white carp flew out of the clouds and landed in the courtyard of the old man's house. The carp then took off into the air again and flew straight towards the examination hall of the Gongyuan Academy. Later, the title of the gold list of Henan candidates in the old man's home topped the list, and the name of Liyu Hutong spread.
"It turns out that there is such an allusion, I thought that the carp alley just means 'carp jumping over the dragon gate'!"
"Although there are more and more candidates living in Liyu Hutong, only a few can really jump into Longmen. The important thing is not where you live, but the depth of your knowledge is the key to whether you can get good grades! โ
"Master Ji is reasonable!" He smiled with the adult: In this society, you talk to me about real talent and real learning? How dare you joke!
In order to prevent cheating, Dou Guangnai put a lot of effort into it. He ordered that the examination room should be under martial law all day during the examination, and the examination should be inspected 24 hours a day. When candidates enter, they not only have to take off their shoes and hats, but also search their whole body, so they almost use the faucet to flush and kick directly into the number. The job is quite well done.
And the adults frowned and stood there: Rub, get it like this, this exam fee is in vain......
Indeed, after Dou Guangnai's tossing, he couldn't intervene with the adult at all.
However, there was nothing wrong with the invigilation, and as soon as the exam results came out, something went wrong.
