Chapter Forty-Six: Young and Frivolous
March 18, at this time is the time for Hangzhou scholars and celebrities to go green, and the gate of Fuxue, which is not far from Bao'en Temple, is overcrowded.
Xu Qian has long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, saying that no matter in the past life or the present life, no matter what happens, there is always a lively scene, seeing that there are more people than the county test, Xu Qian's expression is indifferent this time.
He carried Kaolan and went straight over, walking slowly and slowly with every step, with a nonchalant demeanor on his face.
Now...... He is already a celebrity, even more famous than the Oiran in the kiln in Hangzhou, since he is a celebrity, he must pay attention to the image of that young and frivolous man.
Along the way, everyone made way for him.
It's just that...... The chatter was endless.
"This is that Xu Qian, hum, it's really ridiculous, he dares to laugh at the world's readers."
"It is said that his poem is even more ridiculous and generous, and Liu Gongzi ate a few wines last night, and he almost didn't laugh when he talked about it."
"So arrogant at a young age, hehe...... Then we will see how the other government test ends. ”
"Yes, he has a lot to do with the Su County Order of Qiantang, so he was named to the top of the Qiantang County test, if something goes wrong in the government test this time, someone will jointly sue at that time, I'm afraid that he won't be able to save his child."
"This man is a straw bale, you see the poems he composed, and the illiterate and ignorant people made smooth slips, it is said that he is a lowly official, just recently obtained the qualification for the exam, a person from a lowly official can be literate is already good, can there really be any talent? His father worked in the county government of Qiantang County, and it is said that he was very good at arguing with the Su County Order, and later took the lead in donating money and food for the repair of the county school, which was the relationship with the Su County Order......"
All kinds of rumors, like a gust of wind, drilled into Xu Qian's ears, Xu Qian's face was calm and unimpressed, but fortunately, everyone had complicated feelings about him, so the people who stood in front of him would give him a way out, but he didn't have to take care of Sven like the county test.
After verifying his identity, he entered the school, and many candidates in the county school did not care about talking about Xu Qian, and they were like mourning exams.
It turned out that everyone found that there was no prefect in this school of the house, but it was the Lord of Hangzhou Mansion School Zhengcang with a cadre of adjutant officials to inspect, in general, if the prefect is present, a sign of the Hangzhou government will be erected, in addition, there is a book: 'Zi Wen and strong, mighty but not fierce, respectful and peaceful' long card, in order to show dignity.
But now, the sign that should have been the prefect is gone, but it is the street sign of 'Governor Hangzhou Xuezheng', which means that this time it is not the prefect who is taking the exam, but Hangzhou Xuezheng.
The students who took the exam have made sufficient preparations for the prefect's exam, more or less pondered the prefect's preferences, and inquired about the prefect's many interests, but now, they found that the main exam was replaced, and the preparations they made became illusory, and some people even spent a lot of money to buy the articles and even handwriting made by the prefect in the past, but now it seems that the bamboo basket is empty.
When they entered the examination room, they naturally did not make noise, so although everyone was depressed and annoyed, they still cried and mourned one by one, and obediently went to find their own examination booth according to their exam cards.
The only one with an indifferent expression was Xu Qian, Xu Qian found his own examination booth and bent in, the examination room of this school is better than that of the county school, at least he can sit more comfortably.
It didn't take long for the exam to start, and the test questions came out quickly, this time the questions were much easier than the county exam, and it was not the way to cut off the questions.
"Wait and listen, the eight strands are entitled: Knowledge, benevolence and courage are the three virtues of the world."
This question is from "The Mean", and the article has long been written badly, so it is not too difficult for Xu Qian, and even for most candidates, it is not to the point of retreating.
Xu Qian squinted, typed the draft, and then worked hard to write.
After several exams in a row, Xu Qian was full of confidence, but he quickly finished answering the questions, he saw that it was still early, and no one handed in the papers at this time, so he thought in his heart: "I threw a mouse bogey during the county exam, and I didn't dare to be this bird, but now."
It's different, since you want to be crazy, then crazy to the end. ”
I made up my mind, so I came out of the examination booth with the paper and walked straight to the examiner's color shed.
Along the way, I don't know how many people passed through the examination shed, and those who were still struggling saw Xu Qian coming out of the examination shed, they were shocked one by one, and their thoughts were complicated for a while.
"Didn't the surnamed Xu fail to answer the question, so he broke the jar?"
"Isn't this person really having some real material, otherwise he would be so confident?"
"This person is extremely arrogant, he really has no one in his sights, he is the first to hand in the papers, is he going to demonstrate to others?"
Xu Qian walked to the front of the color shed, the master of Xuezheng Cang was surrounded by a group of people, originally a little drowsy, this main exam is really boring, I don't know how long it is to sit, Lord Cang is a Jinshi background, the most noble, although there is a bit of self-cultivation and cultivation, but this old arm and old leg can't bear this. At this time, I saw that someone came to hand in the paper in advance, although I felt that it was a little frivolous to submit the paper in advance, but I was still in good spirits.
Sitting next to Cangxue, in addition to the subordinate officials of the county school, there are also the teachings of the counties, that is, the Wang teachings of Qiantang County are also among them, and the Wang teachings are also in it, and when the Wang teachings see Xu Qian being the first to hand in the papers, he glared at him fiercely, mostly blaming him for being too showy.
Xu Qian ignored the secret warning of the king's teaching, and walked up to Cang Xuezheng, saluted, and said, "Student Xu Qian, I have seen an adult. ”
Cangxuezheng's face hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You are Xu Qian?" ”
"The student is exactly."
Cangxue couldn't help but look Xu Qian up and down, this time with a look of scrutiny and surprise, it was an attitude that could not be taken lightly.
After a long time, Cangxue said: "Where did you hear the long sentence that is good at reading?" ”
Xu Qian said: "Don't dare to hide it, this is a moment of emotion for the student, temporary emotion, foul words, let the adults laugh." ”
Cangxue's positive color is strange, and he looks at Xu Qian again, he is different from those children who only have a rough understanding of the four books and five classics, after all, he is a scholar from Jinshi, and he is particularly proficient in the way of poetry, that long sentence seems to be easy to understand, and there is no flowery rhetoric, but it is an old word, and every sentence contains a profound truth, such a long sentence is made by a teenager, or improvised, he doesn't believe it in his heart.
"If this person is not a liar, he is a prodigy." Cangxue gave this evaluation in his heart.
However, in this place, he didn't want to dwell on this matter too much, so he just said flatly: "Just take the roll." ”
Xu Qian presented the volume.
For other papers, often the examiner does not read them, and only reads the eight-strand essay. Cangxuezheng directly took Xu Qian's article and glanced at it slightly, and then said casually: "The word is good." ”
It's a very short evaluation, but it's unprecedented for a student to make such an evaluation of a child.
It must be known that this Xuezheng loves Cai Ti characters the most, and the penmanship is flattering, at this time, Xu Qian's font is not only neat, but also has a bit of Cai Ti Zi's health and agility, so he naturally can't help but blurt out a sentence of praise.
Immediately, Cangxue continued to look at Xu Qian's problem-solving, and the problem-solving was in the style of the Lingyin School, saying: "Virtue advances in the world, and in a word, everyone can do the way." ”
Cang Xuezheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's interesting to find something different." ”
Another compliment.
Then there is the topic, Xu Qian's article broke the topic, but when it came to the topic, the beginning of the talk, and the beginning, the style changed, and it was faint, very stable. Cangxue Zheng nodded again and again, and only raised his head when he saw the closing question with great interest, but he just waved his hand at Xu Qian and said, "You go over there and sit." ”
Xu Qian didn't know what this Cangxue was thinking for a while, but it didn't seem to be too bad, so he was at ease and obediently went outside to wait.
Cangxue Zheng squinted his eyes and said to the silent Wang Jiao on the side: "This son learned from Qiantang County, right?" ”
Wang Jiaoyu replied with a smile: "Exactly." ”
Cangxue is right: "Young talents are inevitably frivolous, and this is true." ”
said such a sentence lightly, Cangxue closed his eyes and refused to confide half a word anymore. This is bitter to the king's teachings, and it is inevitable to search the intestines and scratch the stomach to figure out the "upper meaning".
