Prince Gong's Mansion.

When the first emperor ascended the throne, he sent a decree to overhaul Prince Gong's Mansion, which was only ten years ago, so Prince Gong's Mansion was extraordinary! Look at its scale, look at the west from the east, and you can't see the edge; Looking at the north from the south, you can't see the end, and you don't know how many hundred acres of land you occupy. The palace is surrounded by red walls, and I don't know what is going on inside. But just look at the momentum, and the ground is thick and generous.

Prince Gong's Mansion recruitment, naturally there are many applicants. As a result, the palace had to be divided into three places, employing a western seat, a guard, and a servant.

People go to high places, so the little Taoist priest naturally went to apply for Mr. Xixi first. He didn't doubt his level. What are you kidding, there are hundreds of people in Jiuyin Town, and they are talented in papers, his master is the first, and he is the second. At this level, that's all right.

A long queue entered a room through a side door, and after registration, a servant led him to sit down. Each person has a small table, on the table is placed the four treasures of the study, and there is a piece of plain paper, which writes the title of this time: double celebration, hence the name Chongqing. Please write a poem with this.

The little Taoist priest was dumbfounded.

Fu poems, this, have you read more than ten poems?

Seeing the scholars in front and back, all of them shook their heads or pondered, the little Taoist priest really couldn't leave at this time, so he had to close his eyes and rest.

Hearing that someone had put a pen on the table, the little Taoist priest wrote a poem on his hand: "The world is full of fame and fortune, and I am now awake to the Tao alone." He will see the day when he soars and breaks through the autumn sky. ”

His master often chanted this poem, and when he remembered it, he wrote it down casually. As for what this poem has to do with "double celebration", the little Taoist priest didn't bother to think about it.

How embarrassing it is to hand in a blank piece of paper, isn't it?

After the poem is written, one must not leave, but must stay here and wait for the judgment of the famous people inside.

Half an hour later, out of the fourteen scholars, only six were commented. And Zhang Tianyi is impressively among them.

The little Taoist priest and the second monk were puzzled. I'll go, I'm writing Taoist poems, can I see "double celebration" from Taoist poems?

A steward led six people into a small room, and three famous men were sitting inside. The first one, dressed in a Taoist robe, is not like a celebrity, but like a Taoist priest.

The steward's introduction: "The first one on the left, surnamed Song, is known as 'Song Sanjue'." The one in the center, surnamed Li, calls himself 'Buyun Jushi'. The one on the right, surnamed Xu, is Zefang. ”

As soon as the names of these three came out, the expressions of the five people were excited, and they even called them "long admiration". The little Taoist priest had never heard of the names of these three people, and he was very calm. His expression fell into the eyes of the Buyun monk, and he felt that this scholar, who was dressed in Taoist robes like himself, was young, but his bearing was extraordinary and calm.

Song Xingzhi asked: "May I ask where Zhang Tianyi is?" ”

The little Taoist priest responded: "It's just not talented." ”

Song Xingzhi held up a piece of rice paper and said, "There are three uniques, calligraphy, chess, and painting." Calligraphy, a hard study since childhood, Cai Xiang ruler, suburban burnt post, Luochi Temple stele, Fengle Pavilion stele and so on, that is familiar with the heart. But the word Xiaoyou seems to be very mysterious, but I am ashamed that I don't know seven out of ten words. Dare to ask Xiaoyou, what font are you in, and which one is it from? ”

The little Taoist priest's sweat flows quietly. No wonder there was himself among the six scholars, but it turned out that no one knew the words he wrote.

How do you answer this?

In a hurry, the little Taoist priest replied loudly: "My father has admired the Tao since he was a child, and the little student has heard and seen it, and he is also dedicated to the Tao. This font is not found in the world, it is a small daily drawing of symbols, the heart has a feeling, the brushwork of the drawing symbols into the calligraphy. Fang Cai Xiaosheng's heart flickered, and he couldn't help but use this original font, please forgive me! ”

This is a nice thing to say, but the fact is that the little Taoist priest writes very little on weekdays, but he draws a lot of symbols. In this way, over time, if he does not pay special attention to his writing, the words he writes will become ghost drawings.

The Buyun monk grabbed the rice paper, took a closer look, and laughed: "Don't say I don't know, just say it, hehe, isn't this just drawing a talisman?" Interesting, extremely interesting. ”

Song Xingzhi and Xu Zefang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Xu Zefang asked: "Then may I ask Xiaoyou, what are you writing here?" ”

The little Taoist priest had no choice but to bite the bullet and recite the poem again.

When he finished reading, everyone in the room looked at each other. Song Xingzhi frowned: "Xiaoyou, what does your poem have to do with 'double celebration'?" ”

The little Taoist priest wanted to cry without tears, didn't I just fill in some things on the paper, how did I know that I would be called in by you. You ask me what this poem has to do with "double festivities", and I go, and I want to know what they have to do with each other.

Just as the little Taoist priest racked his brains and wanted to have some kind of relationship between the two, Buyun Jushi laughed and said, "Okay, vulgar, you are vulgar, right?" Since it is the heart of the Tao that flickers and the heart feels something, is it appropriate to write a Taoist poem in the font of the drawing symbol? That's how it should be, that's how it should be! ”

"I look at this poem, it is tranquil and natural, and it is in line with the avenue. Taoist poetry can make such a level, Xiaoyou is very talented, and Daoxin is even better. This poem, I point to the first, what do the two think? ”

Buyun Jushi wanted to be very famous, and Song Xingzhi and Xu Zefang could only nod yes.

As a result, the little Taoist priest was named the first!

After the poems, it is time to test the scriptures.

Song Xingzhi asked: "Li Xiucai, "University", the so-called Qi Qijia is cultivating his body, please recite this paragraph." ”

Li Xiucai opened his mouth and replied: "The so-called Qi Qi's family is cultivating his body, and the people love him and dispel it, and he despises it and dispels it,......

This recitation was carried out in a large way, without pause in the middle.

The little Taoist priest immediately sweated on his forehead, and he didn't even understand half of the sentence.

Song Xingzhi asked again: "What are you good at?" ”

Li Xiucai replied: "The student is proficient in the Book of Rites. ”

Song Xingzhi asked: ""Liyun", the journey of the avenue, the world is public. In this world, what to do? What does this gong mean? ”

Li Xiucai replied: "The world is the world of the people of the world, and it is ......shared by the people of the world."

The little Taoist priest's back began to sweat, but he still didn't understand half of the sentence.

What to do?

Just as the little Taoist priest was holding his stomach, ready to scream "ouch" and take the opportunity to escape, Buyun Jushi shouted: "Zhang Tianyi." ”

The little Taoist priest stood up helplessly: "The student is here." ”

As he stood up, he took a deep breath and prepared for a terrible, absolutely tear-jerking "oops" cry.

But I didn't hear the monk ask: "A certain day before yesterday, I had a discussion with a madman." The shaft uttered wild words, using 'heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs' as an example, saying that my Taoists do not emphasize benevolence and righteousness, and do not cultivate benevolence. Zhang Tianyi, if it were you, how would you refute him. ”

When I go, I don't ask the scriptures, but the Tao!

Good question! Zhang Tianyi was overjoyed, and replied calmly at the moment: "'Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs', which means that heaven and earth give birth to all things, but do not have love for them, and let them live and die naturally. The 'unbenevolence' here refers to the fact that Taoists treat everything in heaven and earth equally and go with the flow. ”

"That's a good answer." Buyun asked again: "Heaven and earth can last for a long time, because they are not self-generated, so they can live forever." What does it mean to be 'self-generated' here? ”

The little Taoist priest replied, "What is self-generation? The way of nature, the way of self-generation, the way of self-generation, the way of self-generation, self-,......"

The two asked and answered, one asked fiercely, the other answered calmly, and gradually immersed in it, not knowing the passage of time.

Song Xingzhi couldn't hold it back, and finally couldn't wait to interject and said, "Wang Xiucai, it's your turn, it's your turn." ”

Ah, the little Taoist priest was stunned, don't ask yourself what you have experienced?

At this level, he was fooled again.

It's noon.

And there was a feast in the king's house. Since it was to hire Mr. Xixi, at the banquet, the wine order was naturally carried out. In order to take the school examination, it is still a poetic order.

Spring word poetry order, the first person chanted the poem must be the word "spring" first, the second person chanted the word spring word second, and then down to the word "spring" after the seventh word, and then the summer word poem order.

Buyun Jushi said first: "The garden is full of spring and can't be closed." ”

Song Xingzhi continued: "Don't mistake the New Year. ”

Xu Zefang said: "But I suspect that spring is in others." ”

Li Xiucai said: "The grass and trees will return soon. ”

The next person is the little Taoist.

This kind of game often played among literati, the little Taoist priest has never heard of it, not to mention it. At this moment, he felt like a bird that had accidentally broken into the chicken coop, looking at those chicks that looked quite similar to himself, but why were they completely different from each other?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the little Taoist priest who had already planned picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said with a smile: "Students are ashamed, they have never been interested in these word games, so students will not be ugly." This glass of wine, the student pleaded guilty. ”

After saying that, he finished it in one gulp.

When he said this, he was very indifferent; When you drink this wine, you are very free; When you sit down, you are very calm. Wang Xiucai, who was beside him, was not angry, and lowered his voice and said, "What a thick skin." ”

Buyun Jushi, who was sitting at the top seat, clapped his hands and praised: "This, the wind of Wei and Jin is also!" Good. Come, a toast to you. With that, he raised his glass and drank the wine from the glass.

After that, when the wine order came to the little Taoist, Buyun Jushi raised his glass and saluted him from afar, and the little Taoist priest was not polite and drank the cup.

The "Jade Luo Chun" in Prince Gong's Mansion is a famous wine, and the wine is fragrant, making people drunk before drinking. The scholars sitting there are indeed literary talents, from the spring character poetry order to the summer character poetry order, and they have not touched the wine. However, Buyun Jushi and the little Taoist priest drank to their heart's content, and a pot of "Yuluo Chun" entered the stomachs of the two.

Wang Xiucai's eyes were hot, and he lowered his voice and said, "It turns out that you are here to drink today." ”

The banquet is over.

The drunken little Taoist priest and the other scholars waited outside, and at first, the room was quite quiet. After a while, there was a quarrel inside.

I only heard the voice of the Buyun monk faintly: "Zhang Tianyi is a talent, he will be the first." ”

Even if his mind was confused, hearing this, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but shiver excitedly:

When I go, what books and scriptures can I get the first place?

It's a joke, it's a big deal!
