Chapter Seventy-Three: Submit the Papers Ahead of Time
Long live the mountain because Zhao Ji has been repeatedly rushed to build since the enthronement, and now it has formed a great scale, covering an area of 1,000 acres, and the garden rockery, small bridges and flowing water are dizzying.
When Zhao Ji is in a good mood, he will teach people to put the table on the mountainside, look at the garden scenery under the mountain and draw a pen. But Zhao Ji is different, he likes to be in the garden and listen to the birds and insects.
He said that he was wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt, wearing a scarf, dressed casually, holding the sleeve of his right hand, and looking at the mountains in the distance with a pen.
He kept the action just now for a while before shaking his head and said, "The rivers and mountains are picturesque, why can't I draw them?" At this thought, my interest decreased a lot, and I put down my pen and sighed.
Since looking at the paintings of the painters of the Qiguo Mansion, Zhao Ji's painting time has increased a lot recently, and without it, it has only aroused Zhao Ji's competitive spirit.
It's just that my mind has not been very good in recent days, and I always feel empty in my heart.
"Hasn't the painter sent the painting yet? It's really strange, half a month has passed, could it be that this artist has disappeared since then? ”
Zhao Ji sighed, took his hands, looked at the clouds and mist in the sky, and pursed his lips silently.
At this moment, an inner attendant walked over with careful broken steps and said in a low voice: "Official, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Wentao, see you." ”
Zhao Ji shook his head: "I am in a bad mood today, so tell him to come tomorrow." ”
The waiter didn't leave, and said, "Wen Shilang is here to ask about the preliminary test questions, please ask the official to ask the questions." ”
Zhao Ji sighed, then paced and thought, and muttered: "Industry is good at diligence and frolic, and success is based on thinking and ruining." Guozijian has been disappointing me more and more recently, and I have lost a word of diligence. Go back and tell Wen Tao that it's about diligence. This first examination must be very lively, and I can't stand idly by, just pass the word out, just say that this time the first grade in the preliminary examination, I personally inscribed for him to encourage. ”
The waiter answered, and Nono left.
……………………………………
The period of the first examination is getting closer and closer, and the sound of reading in the Guozi Prison comes and goes, and at the end of the month, the first examination finally comes.
Shen Ao got up early, and when he saw it, Mom, it turned out that he fell asleep on the desk, it seemed that he was working too hard, it was like a hanging beam, he was so dazed that he fell asleep on the table, ouch, his back hurts, he was very uncomfortable, and he was too tired.
He picked up a copy of "The Biography of Wu Meiniang" on the table, and scolded in his heart: "Zhou Heng is really not a thing, I am reading hard, what are you doing with sending a ** novel, it is really shameless." ”
I don't know which author wrote this novel, anyway, it's very cool, Shen Ao didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty also had such a novel, it's so interesting. The wording is also very exquisite, taking off clothes is not called taking off, it is called falling, kissing is not called kissing, it is called stealing preserves, xxoo is not called xxoo, it is called ooxx. After reading this book, Shen Ao benefited a lot and was very moved, this conscientious people's artist is really great, he doesn't seek fame and fortune, he doesn't want money, he just writes hundreds of thousands of words in order to make people feel good.
Stretching his waist, the official brought breakfast, which was extraordinarily rich. After all, this is the preliminary examination, which is related to the future of Guozijian, so I have to be cautious.
Zhou Heng came over and knocked on the door, as soon as Shen Ao opened the door, Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Cousin, have you finished reading the book?" Wow, your eye circles are so heavy, it looks like you worked hard last night. Give me back the book, I still have the last few volumes to read. ”
Shen Ao said with a straight face: "I've read this book, it's unsightly, it's just too bad!" I decided, confiscate it, cousin, you are the prince of the country, you have high hopes, and you will have to serve the court in the future, and you will govern the country and the country, how can you read this kind of book? I'm not allowed to read it again, so I'm not going to confiscate this book, that's all. ”
Zhou Heng opened his eyes and said angrily: "Confiscation? Wow, cousin, you're so shameless, didn't you watch it yourself?. ”
Shen Ao said very calmly: "I read it, but we are different, what you see is the content of the silver filth, but what I see is the meaning that the author wants to express, expressing the author's dissatisfaction with the court life of the Tang Dynasty and his sympathy for the lower class people, this is called peeping at the leopard in the tube, not looking at the whole picture of the leopard, only looking at its subtle thoughts." ”
Zhou Heng was speechless, and said, "I will never send you a book to read in the future." ”
Shen Ao crossed his waist and said confidently: "Wow, you still have such a book?" If I don't hand it over, I'll go and complain to my uncle. ”
Zhou Heng hurriedly said: "No, no more, I already feel uncomfortable when I read one of these books, and I blame myself deeply, where are I willing to read the second one." ”
The two were fighting, and there were chief Xu and teaching assistants downstairs to call people, it turned out that Tang Yan was afraid that the prisoners would sleep late and delay the exam, so he sent someone over.
Shen Ao hurriedly changed his clothes, hastily finished breakfast, and went to the examination room with Zhou Heng. met Cai Lun on the way, Cai Lun regained his confidence, shook his fan and greeted them from afar, and said to Shen Ao: "Brother Shen is sure this time?" ”
Shen Ao pretended to be pitiful and shook his head, and said: "Originally, I was sure, my cousin sent a silver book last night, and I saw it in the middle of the night, and when I woke up today, my brain was still muddy, but I was afraid that this time the results would not be satisfactory." ”
Cai Lun smiled proudly, thinking to himself: "This is just your excuse, if you can't write poetry and articles, you can't write it, what else do you say about the silver book?" He looked down on Shen Ao even more in his heart, but said: "Brother Shen's eyesight is very good, and he must be able to get a good ranking." ”
As he spoke, he invited Shen Ao and Zhou Heng to go to the examination room together.
The examination room looks very formal, using the venue of the imperial examination, and as far as the eye can see, the sheds are scattered, and they are so continuous that there is no end in sight.
Each person was given a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and each went to the examination booth, and sent out the test questions, the so-called test questions, but only a few words, on which the words: "diligent study".
Needless to say, this is teaching people to compose a poem. What Shen Ao is most afraid of is quoting scriptures, but he is not afraid of poetry, but fortunately, this is only the first test, mainly to find out the foundation of the new prisoner, but it has not yet involved the complex content.
"Diligent study?" Shen Ao hesitated to pick up his pen, and saw a teaching assistant carrying a lantern passing by the examination shed.
As soon as Shen Ao's thoughts were broken, he scolded in his heart: "What kind of lantern to carry in broad daylight." "Looking at the words Taixue written on the lantern, it is strange again, it is obviously the Guozijian exam, how did it come to be a doctor and teaching assistant of Taixue.
In fact, there are famous names here, Taixue and Guozijian, every time they take an exam, they will exchange invigilators with each other, in order to prevent each other's students from cheating.
It is said that early this morning, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu brought many subordinate officials to serve as the chief examiner, so it seems that this time the preliminary examination is not simple, involving the two major government-run Central Universities of Taixue and Guozijian, so that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has to come to mediate in person.
Shen Ao naturally didn't want to think about it too much, he picked up the pen and fell into deep thought.
"Diligent study, diligent study" think about it, this is the first exam, you can't fail the test, you have to do your best.
After pondering for a long time, he finally had the draft, his face softened, he smiled slightly, and was about to start writing, but he stopped.
These days, I am used to writing in thin gold font, if I use the thin gold font of the official family in the examination room, will there be a misunderstanding, no, change the line of writing, what to use? In all dynasties, only Dong Qichang's calligraphy collection is the director of each family, so use Dong Qichang's, think about it, smile again, eyes fall, the layout of the book already has a draft, ink up, all in one go.
After finishing the poem, Shen Ao relaxed, put down his pen and looked at the situation of the other candidates, and many inmates in the examination shed were still worried. Shen Ao smiled slightly, then sat on the chair, resting his head on his head, waiting for the roll.
After a while, a noisy voice came out, and someone shouted: "County Lord, this is the first test place, you can't go in." ”
"Get out of the way, I want to find Shen Ao, Shen Ao...... Shen Ao, come out quickly. ”
Wow, it's the voice of the little county lord, Shen Ao can't sit down, but he doesn't want to go out, the little county lord must have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and he must not be automatically sent to the door.
Then the county lord shouted outside: "Shen Ao, if you don't come out again, I'm going to call." ”
"It's useless for you to scream, to cut your throat." Shen Ao thought to himself.
Many inmates in the examination booth came with interest, poked their ears to listen, poked their heads out to watch, and were very excited. When I wrote poetry, I didn't see them so energetic.
A doctor came over with his hands in his hands and said sharply: "Be quiet, don't look around, take the exam well." "That's what keeps the situation going.
After a while, the little county lord really shouted, the decibel was very big, and she could be heard clearly shouting: "Shen Ao is so shameless, go to Zhanchun'er ......" and the rest of the words will not be said.
Shen Ao's face changed, wow, where did she hear it, needless to say, it must have been told by Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou is too bad, no, she has to go and block the mouth of the little county lord, this crazy girl may really be able to talk nonsense. Hurriedly picked up the exam paper and walked out of the examination booth, just as a teaching assistant came over, stopped him, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Shen Ao said: "Submit the papers." He handed the exam paper in his hand to the assistant teacher and left in a hurry. There were whistles in many examination booths, and some people clapped their hands and cheered, all cheering for Shen Ao. It seems that Shen Ao's behavior is very appetizing to these yamen.
The assistant teacher pinched the paper, his face turned white, and he handed in the paper in just two pillars of incense when he entered the examination room? Is he Cao Zhi? Can you become a poem in seven steps? He angrily returned to the invigilator, there were two doctors sitting here, one was Dr. Zhang from Taixue, and the other was Dr. Qin from Guozijian.
Dr. Zhang smiled and thought to himself, "Guozijian has such a style of study? also dare to compete with Taixue, hehe. He sneered in his heart, but his face was very steady, and he said slowly: "Dr. Qin, it is also common for students to have no form, young people, the blood is strong, and it is inevitable that there will be prodigal actions." ”
The more Dr. Zhang said this, the more Dr. Qin felt that the old face did not know where to put it, if it was changed to Taixue, where would such a thing happen. The exam was good, and suddenly a female dependent came in and yelled a few times, and she didn't even take the test, which is really unreasonable. He is a Sven man, and his kung fu is good, but he still can't help but say: "Who is this candidate, it's too bold.; It is necessary to investigate, severely punish those who do not lend, and find out who it is, and rectify the style of study. He came back to his senses and went to see Dr. Zhang, but saw that Dr. Zhang was holding the test paper and looking at it in a daze. Then he said, "Dr. Zhang, bring the paper here, and I'll see the signature of this test paper." ”
Dr. Zhang took a deep breath and remained silent. Dr. Qin was very strange, what happened to Dr. Zhang today, so he didn't care about Sven, and led his neck to look, and this look shocked him.
