The scorching sun is in the sky, the heat wave is scorching, the scholars on the Yichun platform only feel the heat unbearable at this time, seeing that the Wendou has ended, there must be no part of them to invite guests to drink, and they will go down the stage one after another, and soon walked more than half, the remaining more than 30 people except for a dozen slaves, most of them are the so-called celebrities in the north city of Yichun, and Peng Juren or Lie Licheng have a good relationship, Lie Licheng invited them to drink in the Yichun restaurant under the Yichun stage, of course, the very elegant Lie Licheng wanted to invite Zeng Yu to go together, Zeng Yu was not polite, On the Yichun Restaurant on the high platform of Yichun, because he was a guest, Peng Xiaolian also talked to him all the way, and Lie Licheng arranged for him to sit at the same table with Peng Juren, Fu Lisheng, and Yi Lisheng——

After three glasses of wine, it is naturally cordial, Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi's previous resentment and estrangement towards Zeng Yu have been reduced a lot, and they will not speak so sarcastically, and they can still win the respect of others if they have real talent and learning.

Fu and Yi had the heart to test Zeng Yu, and whispered a few words with several other friends, Fu Lisheng got up with a big wine glass and said to Zeng Yu: "Friend Zeng, I want to play a game with you, I will solve a problem for you to break, and it will be broken well, I will drink all this wine, otherwise Zeng Friend will drink this wine." ”

Zeng Yu saw that all the students on the seat were eager to try, this was to get him drunk, and said with a smile: "Very good, I am willing to accept the exam of Yichun Zhuyou again, and I also ask Peng Xiaolian to judge again." ”

Fu Lisheng waved his hand and smiled: "Game, just a game, it's just a glass of wine, then I'm out of the question, please listen well-" Fear of the words of the saint. ”

As soon as this question came out, there was laughter on the seat, this question was a question that had been asked on the Yichun platform just now, Liu Xingzhi and Zeng Yu had broken this question at that time, and the same question had to be broken three times, and the difficulty could be imagined.

Zeng Yu pondered for a moment and said: "It is more feared by the gentleman, and it is also affected by the mandate of heaven." ”

Compared with Zeng Yu's previous breakthrough of "people and words are also through the sky, and a gentleman must be afraid", the former is mellow, the latter is atmospheric, one topic and two breaks, each with its own wonders, and everyone can't help but admire.

Fu Lisheng praised: "It's so good, I should be a big white." "Drain the wine from the magnum in one gulp.

Yi Lisheng came up with a cup and said with a smile: "Friend Zeng, you let Brother Fu drink freely, and I will ask for a glass of wine from you next, Ha Luha." ”

Zeng Yu arched his hand and said, "Please give Brother Yi more advice." ”

Yi Lisheng asked: "One Kuang world." This title comes from the Analects, which is Confucius's praise for Guan Zhong.

Zeng Yu responded: "Bazuo has the merit of assisting the world, so the saint takes it." ”

Peng Juren on the side nodded again and again when he heard it: "It is accurate and elegant, and what is even more rare is that the response is like a loud sound - Yi Sheng, do this cup." ”

"Yes." Yi Lisheng smiled and drank, but choked on the wine, and everyone laughed.

Yuan Sheng and Qi Sheng came to test Zeng Yu with wine glasses one after another, Zeng Yu almost broke the question casually without thinking, and at the end of the day, almost everyone in the audience asked for a big glass of wine here in Zeng Yu, except for Peng Juren and Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi, Peng Juren respected his identity, how could he be willing to make a fuss like all the students, and Lie and Liu had fought with Zeng Yuwen before, so they were embarrassed to test Zeng Yu again-

Seeing that no one could stop Zeng Yu, he suddenly heard Yuan Sheng say: "Brother Yuan has not yet begged for wine from Zeng's friends, and Brother Yuan has gone out." ”

Jing Yi was pushed over by a few half-drunk Confucian students, and the wine glass was also filled and handed to Jing Yi, Jing Yi had no choice but to walk up to Zeng Yu, and before he could speak, he saw Zeng Yu smile and said: "Brother Yuan, yesterday's detailed paper, today a glass of wine, Brother Yuan, please ask the question." ”

Jing Yi raised his glass and saluted: "A glass of wine today, a detailed paper tomorrow." ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

Most of the beings present knew about Dao Jingyi's visit to the camp yesterday, and now they only felt funny, but it was harmless, and they all said: "Yuan Zhi has an extremely difficult question, and he must let his friend Zeng drink a big cup, otherwise it will be the way of hospitality." ”

Jing Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Ju Ze said that I don't know." ”

This title comes from the "Analects", which is the famous "Zilu Zeng Chenran has Gong Xihua to sit", this half sentence means that there is talent and no one appreciates it-

Zeng Yu said: "I am very touched by this topic, and let me think about it - in this way, I will make it together with the topic." ”

Jing Yi raised his glass and said, "Okay, I'll wait for this glass of wine to drink." ”

Zeng Yu paced back and forth indoors three or four times, and said: "If you don't meet all the sages, you should not be indifferent." ”

Everyone praised "good", and then Zeng Yu followed the topic: "How can the husband and sages be like people, and Mo Zhi knows?" If you live and have a feeling, you will look forward to the world! ”

The significance of the title is to introduce the key points that the author wants to express and dilute the original meaning of the title in the book, the eight strands of the text is to speak on behalf of the sage, but not to retell the original words of the sage, you must have your own intention and play, Zeng Yu's theme is concise and crooked, both to undertake the meaning of breaking the topic, and to play the elaboration, the turning point of the latter sentence is particularly wonderful, and began to turn into his emotional discussion of the Shizhi -

"The difficulty of meeting the husband today is the common sorrow of life, and the sense of spirit cannot be forgotten by the sage. Shisheng Sishi is also in a difficult time, and he is still lying in the grass, and he can end silently? ”

Zeng Yu is not happy for those who have not met Huaicai, just five sentences to speak, layer by layer, sparse rhetoric, simply there is a tragic song of generosity, all the people here are deeply touched, everyone is still struggling to move forward on the road of the imperial examination, who is not conceited and talented, Maxima often has and Bole is not often there, the grandmaster does not take me into the school, that is, "I don't know", to Jing Yi and others were surprised that Zeng Yu was able to use the eight-strand text to express emotions and reflect personality, which made everyone refreshed.

Zeng Yu didn't wait for Peng Juren to judge, and said to Jing Yi: "Brother Yuan, please drink this cup, I Zeng Jiuli can't drink it happily today, because I remembered the sad thing, Peng Xiaolian, all the brothers, I will leave first." Tuan Tuan shook it and went downstairs.

All the beings on the seat were stunned, Liu Xingzhi nodded and said, "This person is still very arrogant." ”

Jing Yi said: "Zeng Jiuli is indeed a bumpy encounter, with his current text, he has to travel thousands of miles to come here to fight for the make-up examination, and the difficulties of meeting are also shared by my generation." ”

Everyone is lamenting the hardships of the imperial examination, how many talented people have been trapped in the field house for decades and cannot be sold, sad and old, and sigh to sigh, who can see through, enter the school and become a student, and trapped in the township examination, and finally in the middle of the examination and trapped in the examination, the snow case of the window for decades, it takes great luck to be able to be named on the yellow list, there are only one or two such lucky people in 10,000 readers, the road of the imperial examination has come to an end, and he is an official, and he wants to be promoted, even if he is promoted to the cabinet auxiliary minister, it is not intrigue, power and favor, Even the Jiajing Emperor, the Supreme Emperor of the Ninety-Five, is still dissatisfied, and he eats pills all day long, delusionally thinking of immortality.

However, when entering the school, riding a white horse and wearing a golden flower to travel in high spirits, there are beautiful men seeking to be servants, beautiful women seeking to be maids, and those who offer land and seeking refuge are crowded at the door, not to mention the Jinshi and the first, once the official was poor and became a huge rich in just a few years, living in a Chinese house, and traveling to Zhang Gai shouted, what a majesty this is, and the scholars who are still struggling at the bottom can only see these, and fight for it for life-

Zeng Yu, who was a man in two lives, did not see through, he understood that those so-called see-through are nothing more than two kinds of people, one is that high-ranking officials enjoy it, and it doesn't seem to be much fun to look back, this is actually a kind of complacent and high-minded mentality, and the small people have never enjoyed anything, which is really difficult to understand; The other is a down-and-out scholar who is conceited and talented but has been trapped in the field house for many years, complaining and feeling angry, and these people are all scolding the imperial examination while participating in the imperial examination, they love and hate, and they haven't really seen through it until they stare at each other-

In the red dust, Zeng Yu is also a layman, how can he be willing to be a person who is not decent, poor and blind, and work hard for himself and his family, but Zeng Yu knows what he wants better than others......

Zeng Yu went downstairs in a dashing manner, called the Sixi Huizhuangzhou Wharf Inn who was eating downstairs, the reputation has been raised, and the heavy silver has been in the money bag on the waist of Sixi, and when will he stay if he does not leave, composing poetry is called afterrhyme, painting is called blank, and it is interesting to be drunk with all living beings?

Sixi's happiness was purer, he pinched the twenty small silver ingots in the money bag on his waist all the way and smirked, and said to Zeng Yu: "Young master, this hundred taels of silver doesn't seem to be very heavy, I thought it was a lot, so heavy." ”

Sixteen taels and one catty, one hundred taels of silver is only six catties heavier, Zeng Yu said with a smile: "Your appetite is not small, if you want to be too heavy to carry it, you have to carry two thousand taels of silver." ”

Sixi tried to walk briskly again, and said, "Young master, this silver is getting heavier and heavier. ”

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Don't show off your wealth, it's good to make a fortune in a muffled voice." ”

Sixi looked at the pedestrians on the street vigilantly, guarded the money bag with his left hand, and said in a low voice: "Young master, let's go back to Yongfeng and use this silver to buy a big house, so that grandma and Miss Niuniu can enjoy it, and let those people see the young master's ability." ”

Zeng Yu nodded with a smile, thinking that returning to his hometown is everyone's inner desire, of course, thinking that a hundred taels of silver can raise his eyebrows This is just the naïve idea of Xiao Xi Sixi, Zeng Yu is of course more than that.

The master and servant talked and laughed and returned to the inn, and the shopkeeper also knew that Zeng Yu and Lie Licheng and Liu Xing knew that Saiwen had won the bet, and when they saw Zeng Yu's master and servant coming back with a smile, they hurriedly greeted him and asked: "Zeng Gongzi won the bet?" ”

Zeng Yu nodded and said, "Well, if you win, the store doesn't have to worry that the poor scholar will shorten your room money." ”

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "Congratulations to Zeng Gongzi, congratulations to Zeng Gongzi, where did Zeng Gongzi say, Zeng Gongzi is talented, it is the honor of a small shop to live in a small shop, as soon as Zeng Gongzi entered the store that day, I saw that Zeng Gongzi was extraordinary, and he was full of talent when he said anything, and Zeng Gongzi would definitely be an official and a master in the future......

Zeng Yu shook his head and smiled, returned to the guest room, was cooking his own tea, the owner of the shop came again, he was going to change the room for Zeng Yu, and he didn't charge Zeng Yu a penny, anyway, it was empty, Zeng Yu received the kindness of the owner, and the room he lived in now was indeed cramped.

In the evening of the same day, Jing Yi visited again, the two of them drank in the guest room, and when they were drinking, Jing Yi casually took a booklet on the book and flipped through it, but it happened to be a collection of Zeng Yu's poems and essays, and he smiled and said: "Zeng Jiuli, Zeng Jiuli, no wonder I was only invited to the river yesterday and refused to let me enter the room, because I was afraid that I would see this, you hid me so hard, you knew that I was here to test you, right?" ”

Zeng Yu said hesitantly: "How dare you hide it from Brother Yuan, the poems I recited to Brother Yuan are indeed written by me." ”

Jing Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You did it when you were ten years old." Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said: "I remember, I already reported my name when I first met yesterday, but you once called me 'Brother Jiang' by mistake, what Brother Jiang, Jiang of the Three Kingdoms, right?" ”

Zeng Yu couldn't help laughing, and then said sincerely: "Brother Yuan, don't blame, I did mean to make fun of you when you came at first, but Brother Yuan's words at the time of parting moved my brother, and I decided that Brother Yuan was a friend worth dating, please make an engagement from today." ”

Jing Yi raised his glass and said, "Great, I'll rest when I'm drunk today." ”

……

In the next few days, every day there are Confucian students to visit Zeng Yu at the inn, one is a group of three or five, the paper says anecdotes, Zeng Yu learned from it that there are many Yichun candidates who believe in the rumors of the fifty taels of silver buyers, of course, it does not mean that Zeng Yu cheats, but there must be someone cheating, now the list has not been released, once the list is released, if some Confucian children with poor studies enter the school, the good ones are off the list, and then the rumors will be even more swarming, which is very bad for Huang Tixue's reputation -
