Chapter 315: When Can the North Wind Blow?
Seeing this, Li was looking forward to it.
The title of the second question comes from the sentence in Liu An's "Huainanzi Interpretation Training" in the Western Han Dynasty: "To be virtuous, the Taoist is like a hill and a mountain, and he will not move, and the walker will be in a period of time." β
The meaning of this question is very clear, and it is much easier to write than the previous question. In the previous question, Du Jinning was able to write such a wonderful eight-strand poem, and he could also come to this question easily, which was even more exciting.
I saw Du Jinning hand the pen to the inkstone and dip it, and wrote: "The north wind blows, blowing the cypress branches in front of my court......"
Hey, what's going on...... What is this written?
Li Tong was very puzzled. It's not like an eight-strand poem.
His gaze moved from the desktop to Du Jinning's face, and he saw Du Jinning's slightly immature little face calmly, as if she was not in the examination room at this time, but writing poems in her own garden, with a casual posture and a leisurely demeanor. It's not at all like she can't make an eight-strand poem, so she retreats to a different poem to make do, but it looks like she has planned to write it this way.
Li Tong's gaze moved to Du Jinning's pen again.
I saw her continue to write: "The tree is not afraid of the wind, the discipline is still self-sustaining, and the frost is unswerving. β
This is...... Off topic.
The meaning of the original title is: The heart of the enlightened person is as firm as a hill, and it does not move. And Du Jinning's poem is written about the cypress tree in the north wind, no matter the wind and rain, the ice and snow are over, but the heart is still "unswerving", and the heart is firm.
Li Tong bowed slightly.
Although he cut off the topic and wrote well, until this time, he was not particularly amazed.
But he didn't make up his mind right away. After all, Du Jinning proved her ability with her two amazing eight-strand essays in the first scene and the eight-strand poem just now, and convinced Li Tongtong, so Li Tongtong still has great expectations for her next poems.
I saw Du Jinning dip it in ink and continue to write: "The situation is gradually suitable for the sun and the scenery, the idle flowers and wild grasses are still blooming, what will the wind blow the cypress branches?" When can the north wind blow? β
Seeing this, Li was shocked. Seeing Du Jinning put down the pen, it seemed that the poem had been written. He immediately read the poem from beginning to end.
After reading it, he was afraid that he had misunderstood the meaning, so he read the poem twice from beginning to end.
After reading it, Li Tong's heart was like a stormy wave set off by a strong wind, and his mood was agitated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
This isγShe's this...... Do you want to argue with Zhou Dongping?
When he first read this poem, he thought it was to praise the strength of the cypress tree, although this moral is off-topic, but there is nothing to praise, it is too ordinary. But after reading the whole poem, he realized that Du Jinning used the cypress tree in the north wind to compare her steadfast discipline, no matter what kind of adversity she was in, she was indomitable and always held her own discipline. Moreover, the last sentence "The north wind blows, when can it be" is simply too domineering, this is clearly calling Zhou Dongping!
If Du Jinning's previous poem was not written as a bagu poem, and it was not written so wonderfully, then Li Tongtong would not be able to understand her meaning. But she first wrote a wonderful eight-strand poem, and then wrote this one in front of them, and the meaning of that really couldn't be clearer.
She is here to show that she not only knows how to write eight-strand poems, but also writes them very well, very well! But she doesn't write now, she doesn't want to write, because her conduct is like a cypress tree in the north wind, and nothing can make her bend her back. Even if you are the prefect and you are the examiner, you can influence my future, but so what? "When can the north wind blow"? You Zhou Dongping may be dismissed one day, and if you don't dismiss the official, you will be transferred after three years, in short, you won't be able to stay angry. Even if you don't let me pass the house this year, I can still get ahead when you leave here. I'm only 12 years old, who am I afraid of?
This kid is amazing! Li lived to be in his forties together, and he has seen countless characters by Zhou Dongping's side, but he has never admired a person so much at this moment.
This is not only to be talented, very talented, but also courageous! The kind of frame that I don't want to give up my shoes at all made him deeply impressed by the twelve-year-old child in front of him.
At this moment, he, who has always been not very curious, is extremely curious about the grievances between Zhou Dongping and Du Jinning's teacher. He really wanted to know what kind of grievances there were between the two, so that Zhou Dongping could try all kinds of ways to suppress Du Jinning to obtain the head of the government, and let Du Jinning fight back with anger in such an important exam, and call Zhou Dongping so face-to-face.
And Zhou Dongping's face is more than just extremely corrupt. The flushed face, the beard that was about to stand up, and the eyes that were about to crack all indicated that he was on the verge of going berserk.
"Dong Weng, calm down, calm down, this is the examination room." Li Tong hurriedly pushed him away from Du Jinning's exam number, pulled him back to the examiner's seat and sat down, and persuaded in a low voice, "You make the question, he writes poetry, he has nothing out of the ordinary; If you roar here, what the consequences will be, I think you know ......"
Zhou Dongping is the prefect, but this does not mean that he can cover the sky with one hand on this one-third of an acre. Every time he went to the government to take the examination, the court would send a scholar to take charge of the scientific examination in the three neighboring provinces and supervise the behavior of the prefects. Once the news of Zhou Dongping roaring about the examination room for no reason came out, he would be the prefect of the state, although he would not be dismissed and go home, it was still very possible to demote his official character by one level.
Even if Zhou Dongping was protected by someone, he could not escape the blame for such an obvious disclosure and mistake.
was said by Li Tong, Zhou Dongping finally calmed down a lot.
He also knows that he shouldn't, and he knows the consequences of losing control of his emotions.
It was precisely because he knew that he felt that Du Jinning was definitely doing this on purpose, so he wanted him to make a fool of himself in the examination room. Thinking about this, it is still difficult for him to calm his emotions.
He stared at Du Jinning with slightly red eyes, and said fiercely in his heart: "For the sake of your own future, this official will not give you a test; But if you want to take the head of the house, dream about you! β
Li Tong looked at Du Jinning, who was concentrating on grinding ink and didn't seem to be aware of all this, shook his head, and sighed deeply.
Is it worth it to give up a good government case leader for the sake of fighting for a moment? What kind of grievances does Zhou Dongping have with her teacher that makes her willing to risk ruining her future than offend Zhou Dongping to death like this?
"Dong Weng." He remembered something and reminded, "If he does a good job in arithmetic and the answers are all correct, you can't help but give him the head of this house." β
