Chapter 12 The white-headed old prodigy
"Jie Zi, I've been studying in martial arts for the past few months, I didn't know that you had an eye disease, but now you're getting better?"
Zhang Dai smiled and looked up and down at this brother Zhang Yuan, he only returned to Shanyin from Hangzhou yesterday, and listened to Wang Kedian talk about Zhang Yuan's blindfolded chess, quite curious, and heard that his cousin Zhang Cao was playing against Zhang Yuan under this bridge, so he rushed to take a look, and saw that Zhang Yuan really turned his back and didn't look at the chess table and relied on his surname to play chess, which made Zhang Dai, who was conceited and intelligent, very surprised, because Zhang Dai knew very well how difficult the blind chess of Go was, and then looked at the chess game carefully, Zhang Cao's black chess had been defeated, and he took over to help, but he was powerless to recover.
Zhang Yuan also looked at this famous clan brother who was passed down to future generations, and responded: "It's already good, thank you for your concern." "Only then did I remember that Zhang Dai went to Hangzhou to study in order to prepare for the township examination, because this year is the year of Renzi, every year, the meridian, the Mao, and the year of the unit is the year of the township examination, once every three years, held in August, so it is called the autumn festival, and the scholars of the middle lift entered Beijing to participate in the Beijing examination the following yearββ
Zhang Dai is a prodigy of Shaoxing Mansion, when he was eight years old, he followed his father Zhang Rulin to the villa of the West Lake to escape the summer, the famous man Chen Jiru also visited friends in the West Lake, Chen Jiru rode a big-horned deer, back and forth to the lakeside, like a fairy in the people, a certain said, Chen Jiru came to visit Zhang Rulin, saw Zhang Dai, and said to Zhang Rulin, I heard that your grandson is good, I want to test him face to face, and pointed to the "Li Bai Riding Whale Picture" on the screen: "Taibai riding a whale, quarrying the night moon by the river." Eight-year-old Zhang Dai responded: "Meigong crosses the deer, and the autumn wind is playing in Qiantang County." Chen Jiru alias Meigong, Chen Meigong laughed loudly, touched Zhang Dai's little head and said: "That has to be sensitive to this, my little friend." βββ
When Zhang Dai was twelve years old, he took the county test, the government test, and the road test, and became the youngest talent in Shanyin County.
Because of his young age, Zhang Dai did not participate in the township test in the year of Jiyou, but this time, he was determined to win.
Zhang Yuan, who has the memory of later generations, knows in his heart that Zhang Daicai is high-minded, he became famous as a young man, and he is still an old showman in Baitou, although this imperial examination seems fair, but there are also many talented people who have learned to spend their lives in the field house and have a hard time, not to mention, there is Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang in Shanyin, Xu Wenchang is talented, but even if he dies, he can't take the exam, and the famous Chen Jiru is just a show talent, of course, Chen Jiru, who burned his shirt and gave up the scientific examination, is his hermit master, and he is also very good.
Born in this life, he went to Shaanxi to gather the victims of the disaster and make a rebellion, claiming to be a general, the eight kings, that is not Zhang Yuan's ideal, like Fan Wencheng to be the founding hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is even more hated by Zhang Yuan, and he can't learn from Chen Jiru to be a leisurely hermit, Chen Jiru died before the death of the Ming Dynasty, he Zhang Yuan is only fifteen years old now, so only the road of the imperial examination can be walked, step by step, I just hope not to walk too tired, and I have to leave some energy to enjoy life is not-
But judging from the experience of Chen Jiru and Zhang Dai, learning to be rich and talented does not necessarily mean that the imperial examination will be successful, and there must be another trick in the Bagu Wen examination, he must find this trick, and he will become famous early, if he waits until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen to be admitted to the Jinshi, it will be sad.
β¦β¦
Zhang Dai saw that Zhang Yuan was squinting his eyes and was distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he called out: "Jie Zi-"
Zhang Yuan suddenly said: "Oh, didn't the eldest brother of Zongzi try Jiuxiang at the beginning of next month, why did he come back?" β
Zhang Dai said: "This time I came back mainly to ask my father for some things, and I also scattered along the road, and then went to Wulin at the end of the month." β
Zhang Cao said: "Eldest brother this township test, since he has been captured, what is there to worry about, that is, it depends on the ranking, if you can solve the yuan, it will be fast." β
Zhang Dai smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said reservedly: "Xie Yuan is fate, and he can't fight for it." β
Sixteen-year-old Zhang Dai is obviously full of confidence, Zhongjieyuan has to rely on Lu's life, but Zhongju is stable.
Zhang Yuan on the side sighed secretly, the young and high-spirited Zongzi eldest brother in front of him was admitted until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not admitted to the examination for 30 years, and then the country was ruined, and he was like a savage in the mountains.
"If I can, I should help this big brother Zongzi." However, I thought again: "The country is unfortunate and the poet is fortunate, and he is endowed with the vicissitudes of life, and if he does not experience the pain of the country's ruin and the vicissitudes of his family, the eldest brother of Zongzi will definitely not be able to write those elegant, free and easy, and affectionate peerless beautiful essays - "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion", "West Lake in the Half of July", "Jinshan Night Play", "Twenty-four Bridges and Wind and Moon", ...... What to do with these wonderful essays, these are all treasures, they can't be gone just because the fate of the eldest brother of the sect has changed. β
β¦β¦
The rain became heavier and heavier, and there was a "rustling" of rain on the bridge deck, and the rain flowed down along the stone cracks, first dripping and clicking, and then in strings, and the water of the Mash River was also noisy and boiling, and the sound of wind, rain and thunder, under the arch of the bridge to speak and shout to be heard-
Zhang Cao was still reluctant to play this game of chess, and shouted: "Jiezi, this chess can't be played?" β
Zhang Dai shook his head and shouted: "I can't go down, I can't lose anymore, third brother, you can't get down." β
Zhang Cao was not convinced, but the eldest brother Zhang Dai's chess strength steadily overpowered him, and since the eldest brother said so, then I am afraid that this chess will not work.
Zhang Cao didn't kick the chess table in anger this time, but sighed, suddenly became happy again, and shouted: "Big brother, you come to play a game with Jie Zi and learn how powerful Jie Zi is." β
Zhang Dai was a little eager to try, but said: "This water is about to rise, and if you don't leave, you will be washed away along with the pavilion - by the way, this bamboo pavilion was built by the third brother." β
Zhang Cao smiled: "Who else is me, who is as elegant as me." β
Zhang Dai said with a smile: "Let's see if this elegant pavilion can withstand the soaring river." β
At this time, the little girl Rabbit Pavilion came over with two oil-paper umbrellas, and under the arch of the bridge there were Zhang Dai, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Cao, Wu Ling, Wang Kedian, Pan Xiaofei, and a total of seven people in the Rabbit Pavilion, where are the two umbrellas enough.
Rabbit Pavilion said: "There are no such umbrellas in the house. β
Concubine Pan said: "I'll ask someone to bring an umbrella." He took off his green silk shoes and carried them in his hand, and ran away in the rain.
Concubine Pan's name resembles a woman, but she plays a small flower face, and her surname is also hearty, while King Danjiao's demeanor and demeanor are like a woman.
Concubine Pan quickly ran back, followed by two healthy servants, each carrying three umbrellas under their armpits, and she was bareheaded in the rain, so she ran fast.
Zhang Dai said: "Let's not go back first, let's go to the bridge to see the water." β
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai, Zhang Cao together to the stone arch bridge to look down on the mash river, two thousand years ago the king of Yue Gou Jian swore to cut down Wu, the old man will send a pot of sweet wine, Gou Jian knelt and received the wine, ordered people to pour the wine into the river, the sergeant drank the flow bitterly, this is the origin of the name of the mash river.
A rainstorm, the water of the mash river is rushing up, the river bay rises especially fast, seeing that all the water under the three-arch bridge has passed, the bamboo pavilion has been flooded in half, Zhang Yuan and others are holding an umbrella on the bridge to see when the bamboo pavilion will be washed away by the water?
Zhang Dai asked Zhang Yuan about playing blind chess, Zhang Yuan didn't say much, but Zhang Cao tried his best to brag for him, saying that Zhang Yuan never forgot it, and he could recite the thirty-volume "Spring and Autumn Classics" after listening to it once, and what was even more amazing was that he opened Su Hui because of eye disease, and he remembered the books he had read in his previous life-
Zhang Dai was secretly surprised, he knew very well that his cousin Zhang Cao's surname was Xi, arrogant and unruly, where would he praise others so much!
Zhang Dai said: "Then I want to see Jie Zi's ears and never forget, go to Jie Zi's house now, and say hello to the fifth aunt, okay?" Zhang Yuan's father, Zhang Ruiyang, ranked fifth in Dongzhang, so Zhang Dai called Zhang Yuan's mother the fifth aunt.
"Look, look, the pavilion has come out." Concubine Pan shouted.
Zhang Yuan took a look, and the bamboo pavilion under the arch bridge came out with a floating load, and flowed slowly halfway.
Zhang Cao shouted: "Interesting and interesting, someone downstream will pick up a kiosk." Glancing at the little girl rabbit pavilion standing next to Zhang Yuan, he added: "I picked up a rabbit pavilion." β
This is not much funny, but Zhang Cao laughed heartily, this guy is really different from ordinary people.
