A young man from Bai Ding attended the dinner party of the county lord, it was really an unprecedented thing, if it weren't for Wang Siren's face, Hou County Ling would not have been so condescending, and Zhang Yuan was still the defendant in front of the lamp, and now he has become his guest, Hou Zhihan is worried about being criticized-

Wang Siren said: "Brother Tianyin, is there any regret in the case? ”

Hou Zhihan said: "No." ”

Wang Siren said: "Then why worry about it. ”

Hou Zhihan laughed, bowed down and said: "Thank you for the teacher's enlightenment, students are always looking forward and backward like this, and they have not grown for many years - teacher, brother, brother, brother ”

In the late Ming Dynasty, the meritorious people called the son of the master and the master of the house as the brother.

Hou Zhihan knows Wang Siren's taste, the banquet is simple and elegant, all of which are local specialties of Shaoxing, the wine is Shaoxing wine, and there are eight dishes of dishes, which are broken pond bamboo shoots, Dushan Ling, river crab, Sanjiang tun clams, mash river anchovy, Xianghu ulva, ten spiced salty soy beans and fresh soup, and the most famous flower white rice in Shaoxing.

There are two seats at the dinner party, one for two people, naturally Hou Zhihan and Wang Siren are seated together, and Zhang Yuan and the young man surnamed Wang have a seat.

Wang Siren originally thought it was one person and one seat, but Hou County was more frugal, which made Wang Siren a little embarrassed, looked at his son or daughter, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, just said: "Children are not allowed to drink." ”

Hou Zhihan said with a smile: "The teacher is a local, don't you know that this Shaoxing wine is not intoxicating, and it doesn't hurt to drink two glasses of the world's brother." ”

There was a boy in Tsing Yi who came to pour wine for Zhang Yuan and the young man surnamed Wang, Wang Siren just looked at it, and didn't say anything, and talked to Hou Zhihan about some things about the government and the opposition and Shilin.

When twilight fell, the outside of the house gradually dimmed, the lights and candles in the room were brightened, the aroma of wine was faint, and several famous Shaoxing dishes made Zhang Yuan's index finger move, and he raised his glass and said: "Brother Wang, please." ”

The young man surnamed Wang was a little unhappy that Zhang Yuan didn't listen to his advice in court, pretending not to hear it, and picking and eating anchovies by himself, looking very attentive.

Zhang Yuan drank a glass and stopped letting the boy pour wine, and saw that the young man surnamed Wang ate one anchovy and then put it down to the other, there were only two anchovies in this plate, so he smiled and said: "Brother Wang, leave a fish tail for me." ”

The young man surnamed Wang blushed slightly, retracted his chopsticks, but heard Zhang Yuan say: "You can eat it if you like, this anchovy is from the Mash River in front of my house, and I can often catch it." ”

The young man surnamed Wang finally spoke, and said softly: "What do you usually do besides studying?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Young people play everything, playing chess and fighting insects, juju singing, cockfighting, fishing and archery, I know a little, what does Brother Wang usually play?" The heart said: "Is it embroidery?" ”

The young man surnamed Wang lowered his eyelashes, looked at his hand holding chopsticks, and said, "It's almost the same, it's all about playing with these." He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "I heard that you dreamed of several large bookcases, which contained tens of thousands of strange books, and you read them all overnight, and remembered them all when you woke up, really?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Are there tens of thousands of volumes, I didn't say tens of thousands of volumes, it's just a thousand books, it's not a strange book, it can neither help the people in the world, nor can it gain fame. ”

The young man surnamed Wang said: "I love to read idle books, tell me, what idle books have you read in your dreams?" ”

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Of course you love to read idle books, and you don't have to take the test for children, talents, people, and scholars, I am tired." ”

Zhang Yuan is now basically sure that the person sitting opposite him is not a young man surnamed Wang but a girl from the Wang family, it should be Wang Siren's daughter, how can Wang Siren take his daughter to hang out, is the atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty so open?

The girl from the Wang family asked again: "Tell me, what books have you read in your dreams?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Many, many, I don't remember the title of the book, I only remember the story, hey, don't talk about this, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." "Immerse yourself in peeling and eating river crabs.

The girl of the Wang family wanted to speak and stopped, so she had to eat vegetables.

Wang Siren raised his voice and said, "Zhang Yuan, come here, the county will test you." ”

Zhang Yuan said "uh", almost choked, and thought: "Take the exam, the teacher's magic weapon, I can't escape the exam in my two lives." He took the handkerchief from the hand of the waiter and wiped his hands, nodded to the Wang family girl, got up and walked to Wang Siren and Hou Zhihan, bowed down and asked, "What does the county want to test students?" ”

Hou Zhihan just heard that Wang Siren had a lot of praise for Zhang Yuan, so he said that he wanted to test Zhang Yuan, and then looked at Zhang Yuan carefully, well, his eyebrows were sparse, his appearance was good, his demeanor was calm and generous, not like a person who saw an official for the first time, and asked: "Mr. Su Zhi is your eldest father?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It's my uncle's ancestor." ”

Hou Zhihan let out an "oh" and thought: "It turns out that it's not Zhang Rulin's lineage." Then he asked, "Have you ever taken the county exam?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Students have not yet entered social studies. ”

Hou Zhihan said: "That must be the origin of family learning." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "My father has been away for a long time, and the students have not been formally enlightened, and only my sister teaches a few words in her spare time. ”

Hou Zhihan, the county lord, felt a little helpless, such a young man who had never even entered social studies, and no one at home taught him poetry and books, what knowledge could he have! But Wang Siren clearly praised this young man, saying that this son's future is unlimited, Hou Zhihan wants to give Wang Siren face, so he has to pick some easy tests for Zhang Yuan, and asks: "The couplet must have been learned, you will come to the county with a link-"

Zhang Yuanxin said: "I really haven't learned the couplet, I remember some ancient and modern famous couplets, what painted lotus monk painting book Linkan Hanlin book and the like, but who dares to guarantee that the county lord will definitely come up with the question from the couplet I know, we can't arrange it in advance, and it's not acting." "But if you show weakness again and say no, then in the eyes of the county lord, he will be a waste, and it will be too much to lose Wang Siren's face, not to mention that there is a Wang family girl watching on the side.

Zhang Yuan said: "Lord County, the couplet is a small skill of carving insects enlightened by children, although the students are not sensitive, they have also learned, a few years ago, they said that they had a couplet, and they have not yet been right-"

"Oh." Hou Zhihan became interested: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The upper link is: smoke lock pond willow. ”

Hou Zhihan smiled and said in his heart: "The artistic conception of these five words is good, but what is so difficult, you have to think about it for a few days-" After thinking about it carefully, his face changed, and these five-character sentences have the radical of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth"!

Wang Siren heard the sentence of "smoke lock pond willow", and also began to think about the couplet, thinking left and right that it was not suitable, it is not difficult to rely on the artistic conception in the sentence alone, but it is too difficult to secretly combine the five elements.

Thinking about the cold wine and cold food, the two Jinshi couldn't think of a couplet, Hou Xianling naturally forgot to test Zhang Yuan in pairs, in fact, it was not forgotten, but he felt that Zhang Yuan's own thought of the upper link was so difficult, it can be seen that he is a master of the couplet, where would he Hou Zhihan come up with such a wonderful upper link as "smoke lock pond willow" to test Zhang Yuan, so he didn't come up with the right one, and wanted to go out of the "smoke lock pond willow" lower link.

Well, after a clever transformation, he has now become Lord Zhang Yuankao County.
