Chapter 18: Meet Lori Again
Several examiners next to him were surprised, how did Xuezheng break the convention today?
An examiner reminded in a whisper, "Xuezheng, let's draw lots!" ”
The examiner waved his hand, "It's okay, I know the rules, my questions will only be more difficult than the lottery." ”
Fanning was speechless, why? When it comes to yourself, why should it be harder than others.
He smiled and pointed to the lottery box, "Old man, I'll draw lots!" Same as everybody. ”
"Come here!"
The examiner had a stern attitude and beckoned to him, "If you want to come, you will come!" ”
Fan Ning had no choice but to admit it, who made this examiner look at him unpleasantly.
Jiang Agui in the back actually forgot about his nervousness, his face was full of schadenfreude, he was so excited that he almost screamed, and finally saw when Fan Nerd made a big fool.
The examiner didn't have any extra words, he said with a gloomy face: "I ask for a scripture, and you tell me its origin, and if you answer it, even if you pass!" ”
Fan Ning nodded, and the examiner thought for a while: "I don't know how to count, and if I want to do a big thing, I still want to go through the water risk!" Tell me where this is coming from? ”
As soon as this question came out, all the examiners in the room looked at each other, and no one knew the source of this scripture.
Fan Ning scolded in his heart, this examiner is really perverted, he actually used such a strange topic as "Pipe" to test himself, did he offend him somewhere?
The examiner also realized that his question was too difficult, so he said: "You don't need to tell the detailed dictionary, you just tell it which famous book it is from." ”
Fanning was silent in thought, he had the impression that he had memorized this sentence.
After a long while, he said slowly: "From "Pipe. The Seven Laws", which is not clear in the mind, and if you want to give orders to others, you must be detained. I don't know how to count, but I want to lift a big thing, and I still want to go through the water risk. ”
All the examiners couldn't help but applaud, and the examiner gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's really a prodigy!" ”
Fan Ning's heart jumped suddenly, could it be that Fan Zhongyan had greeted him? This makes sense, why he wants to test himself alone.
"You might recite the whole text?"
Fanning nodded, "I can recite it!" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the examiner's eyes, and he was just about to speak, when the examiner next to him hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Xuezheng, you can only take one question!" ”
The examiner waved his hand, "You might as well let him carry it!" ”
He smiled at Fan Ning again: "Then you recite it to me, and you can recite "Pipe. The Seven Laws"
Fan Ning thought about it and then recited it loudly: "Words are true but cannot be established, words cannot be abolished, meritorious deeds cannot be rewarded, and guilt cannot be punished; If so, he who can rule the people, there is none. It must be established, it must be abolished, meritorious service must be rewarded, and the guilty must be punished......"
Fanning didn't speak fast or slow, he spit out every word very clearly, and memorized thousands of words, and every word was good.
The examiner was a little stunned, and at this time, the deputy examiner next to him couldn't hold back any longer, and gently pushed him, "Xuezheng, it's almost!" ”
The examiner came to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's okay!" ”
Fanning stopped reciting, and the examiner sighed to the deputy examiners on both sides: "I have studied pipes for many years, let me memorize, I may not be able to do a word good, it's amazing." ”
He took out a deep look at Fanning, took out a note and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on passing the first level, go!" ”
Fanning breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, took the note and went out.
Looking at Fanning going out, the examiner smiled and asked the two examiners beside him, "How is this son?" ”
An examiner sighed: "He can answer such an obscure question, and he is so familiar, I am ashamed!" ”
Another examiner cautiously asked, "Xuezheng knew about this kid before?" ”
The examiner just smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.
"The next Jiang Agui, Jiang Agui! What are you doing, what are you doing with your mouth wide open? ”
.......
Fan Ning walked out of the interview hall, and there was an examiner sitting outside, he had already seen the situation in the school, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shaolang." ”
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!"
The examiner registered his exam card, then pointed to a university hall inside and said, "The written test is inside!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Fan Ning bowed, walked briskly towards the university hall, and saw seven or eight people sitting in the lobby from a distance, meditating on the desk, the number of people was less than half of the interview candidates.
Only then did Fanning understand that the interview was not easy, and at least more than half of it had to be brushed off.
At this moment, Fanning only felt a pain in his back as if he had been pointed, and when he turned around, it turned out that the little Lori dressed as a man and a woman was stabbing him with a short sword.
Fan Ning thought of the embarrassment on the ship just now, he was really unhappy in his heart, and immediately stretched his face, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Do you know the examiner?" Little Lori asked curiously.
"I don't know!"
"Then how could he test you alone?"
"You ask me, who do I ask? actually took the "Pipe" exam, do you think I will know him? ”
"Not sure!"
A hint of cunning flashed in Little Lori's eyes, "Maybe he told you the topic in advance and deliberately made you look different." ”
Fanning didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned and walked towards the lobby.
Little Lori hurriedly caught up with him, "I said yes, right?" ”
Fanning stopped and said to her angrily: "First, I don't know him, you don't believe you can ask him personally; Second, I don't know you well, so there is no need to answer your questions; Third, I still have a written test, please don't follow me. ”
"Humph! Who is rare with you, I also have to take the written test, you know? ”
Fan Ning was stunned, "This school still recruits female students?" ”
Little Lori stepped forward, she crossed her waist and stared at Fanning with wide eyes, "Who said I was a woman, you proved it to me?" ”
Fan Ning looked at the handsome little scholar in front of him, and shook his head for a long time, "Forget it, what does it matter to me whether your old man is a man or a woman?" I went to the exam first. ”
Fanning ignored her and turned around and walked into the academy, but little Lori was triumphant and followed him into the university hall.
Fanning handed in his exam card at the door and received a paper, and an invigilator pointed to the seat in front of him and told him to sit down quickly.
Fanning quickly glanced at Xiao Lori, and saw that she didn't hand in the exam card, so she walked in and sat down with a swagger, and the invigilator hurriedly delivered a paper to her in person.
Fanning suddenly woke up to the fact that this little Lori should not be simple.
Fanning didn't think about it anymore, he calmed down and opened the paper, there was a question on the exam paper, a poem, describing daily life, five words and seven words, limited to one hour.
He pondered for a moment, and a poem came to his mind, for him, writing poetry is not a problem, but calligraphy is his weak point.
Although he has been practicing calligraphy hard during this time, because his foundation is too thin, his progress has not been as fast as he imagined.
Of course, his current characters are not as unsightly as they were at the beginning, at least horizontal is horizontal, vertical is vertical, and it looks very neat.
Fanning was dipped in ink, picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the scroll.
"Spring Pastoral"
The sound of afternoon chickens in the deep alleys of willow flowers,
The tip of the mulberry leaf is not yet green.
There is nothing to sit and sleep,
The window is full of sunny days to see silkworms.
.........
After writing the poem, Fanning put the pen aside and waited for the ink to dry, when an invigilator stopped beside him.
After a moment, the invigilator asked in surprise, "You wrote this poem?" ”
The voice was a little familiar, Fanning raised his head, it was an old man with a long beard, wearing a black gauze hat, Fanning recognized him, it turned out to be the examiner who interviewed him.
"This guy is haunted!"
Fanning just wanted to leave quickly, so he quickly got up and said, "I'm going to hand in the papers!" ”
What are you kidding, if this old man doesn't follow the rules and gives himself a separate proposition to write poems, then he doesn't want people to live.
Seeing that Fan Ning was frightened by himself, the old man couldn't help laughing and knocked on the scroll, "Your name hasn't been written yet!" ”
Only then did Fan Ning find that the name writing office was still empty, so he had to sit down and write his name again, Fan Ning of Jiangwan Village, Mudu Town.
The old man read the poem again and praised it sincerely: "This poem is well written, vivid and interesting, simple and skillful, and quite popular." ”
Fan Ning wiped the sweat on his forehead, can Fan Chengda's poems in the Southern Song Dynasty not have everyone's demeanor?
The old man didn't embarrass him this time, nodded and turned to leave.
Fanning got up and was about to hand in the paper, he quickly glanced at the little Lori, and saw that the little Lori also put down the pen seriously, and she was about to hand in the paper.
Fan Ning was in a hurry, handed in the paper and walked out quickly, but he went in the wrong direction, found that there was a dead end in front of him, and quickly turned around.
saw little Lori with her hands crossed in front of her chest, tilting her head, and looking at him with a sneer.
"I thought you'd get out over the wall!"
"Just laugh!"
Fanning stepped forward quickly and walked past her, and little Lori was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "I just wanted to ask what is your name?" ”
"His name is Fan Dudu!" A yin and yang voice came from behind him.
Fan Ning turned around and saw Jiang Agui walking out of the big examination hall, and he also handed in the papers.
Jiang Agui looked at Fan Ning with a jealous face, "Dumb, you are very good at pretending!" ”
Little Lori covered her mouth and snickered, "So your name is Fan Dudu?" ”
Fanning didn't bother to explain, he shook his head and walked quickly.
Jiang Agui rushed out of the gate of the school and roared: "Fan nerd, you wait and see, see how I clean you up when I go back!" ”
Fanning stopped, he turned and stepped forward, "You call again!" ”
"Fan nerd, how about I called?"
Fan Ning stepped forward in two steps and punched Jiang Agui in the face, Jiang Agui was caught off guard and was punched in the nose by Fan Ning.
He screamed like a pig and crouched down with his nose covered.
Fanning clapped his hands, turned around and walked away, little Lori saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "This little guy is still quite brave!" ”
Fanning left the examination room and walked quickly to the river, where he had made an appointment with his father.
From a distance, I saw my father sitting on the stone railing, talking and laughing with a middle-aged man.
There was also a young man about the same age as himself sitting next to him, very dark, with wide joints, looking very stout, and a pair of eyes that were particularly bright.
Fanning walked up quickly, "Daddy, I'm done with the exam!" ”
"How's it going?" Fan Tiezhou asked with concern.
"I passed the interview, and the written test was to write a poem, and I also wrote it, but I don't know the final result."
"What questions did you draw in the interview?" The boy next to him asked.
Fanning glanced at the boy in surprise.
Fan Tiezhou hurriedly introduced his son with a smile: "This Uncle Liu used to be from our Jiangwan Village, and later moved to the town. ”
Fan Ning hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Uncle Liu is good!" ”
"Not bad! Not bad! ”
The middle-aged man praised repeatedly: "Dumb can actually be admitted to Yanying Academy, it's unbelievable." ”
Fan Tiezhou pointed at the young man again and smiled: "This is Uncle Liu's son Liu Kang, one year older than you, who used to play with you, and is now studying in Yanying Academy." ”
It turned out that this young man was also from Yanying Academy, no wonder he would ask himself what questions to draw.
Fanning scratched his head and smiled and asked, "Is there any particular question to draw?" ”
The young man nodded seriously, "Of course, there are exquisiteness, but the exquisiteness in it is big, and it is related to whether you can be admitted to the school." ”
