Chapter 2 The Golden Bell Rings
The autumn rain has not stopped since the fourth day of the new year, and there is still some drizzle on the sixth day of the new year. The business of the people in Zhangfu has deteriorated in recent days, and their faces have become worse and worse.
Zhang Yunlong and others prepared a bookbox for Zhang Yi to salute, and Zhang Daniu and his wife ordered a bowl of noodles for Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi took the bookcase that Zhang Yunlong had arranged, put on a brand-new Xiucai robe, ate the breakfast prepared by Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law, and went straight to the Fuwen Academy with a yellow paper umbrella.
The Fuwen Yuan is ten miles away from the County Literary Academy, and there are the Baima County Government and the Longbow City County Government in the middle. Of course, the Fuwen Academy is the most noble, and the current Zhang Mansion is only two miles away from it.
The southern city is the most prosperous, with patchwork streets covered with bluestones, so even on a rainy day that your clothes won't be too dirty. Zhang Yi walked slowly on the bluestone road, and the people on both sides of the street were cheering for the students who went to the Academy of Literature, wishing them good results.
"Why should the eagle argue with the frog at the bottom of the well about the size of the sky, if I have to betray my soul to pursue a luxurious life that lasts for a long time, I would rather break with the whole world. If you want to be recognized by ten people, you just have to do the same thing as everyone else, if you want to be admired by tens of millions, you have to be different, and if you want to make a name in history and be remembered by everyone in the world, you have to fight against the majority. Ah Yi, don't worry, Ah Qiao and I have always been behind you to support you!"
Thinking of the news from the Wenyin in the morning, Zhang Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Yi walked to the Fuwen Academy, and saw that the roads around the Academy of Literature extended in all directions, and students from more than a dozen counties in Baima County flocked to it.
The hour had come, and the guards of the Fuwen Academy opened the door, and the Xiucai waved goodbye to their families and scholars and entered the Wen Academy.
Zhang Yi was sandwiched among the poor students, and after entering the Fuwen Academy, he put away his umbrella. There is a blessing of literature in the Fuwen Academy, and the autumn rain is continuous outside, but it is like a sunny day inside, evaporating the rain from the students and sweeping away the fatigue.
"Huh?"
Zhang Yi was a little strange, the moment he entered the Fuwen Academy, he only felt a sense of literature drilling into his heart from the phantom of the book mountain. The atrium that has been quenched with gold, stone and jade liquid, and the bronze color that emerges in it is faintly strengthened a lot.
Because the students behind him urged Zhang Yi to carry out the test, Zhang Yi could only postpone the detection of changes in the atrium.
As in the county examination, the students walked in front of the guards, received the examination cards, and opened the bookbox for inspection. Unlike during the township test, Zhang Yi's bookcase is no longer worn, and the four treasures of the study inside are much better.
The guard glanced at Zhang Yi, lowered his body to inspect the bookcase, which was full of fine brushes, ink ingots, inkstones, pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, and all kinds of food prepared by Zhang Daniu and his wife in the corner, with a rich variety.
The guard nodded suspiciously, handed the bookcase back to Zhang Yi, and signaled that he could go in.
Zhang Yi also didn't explain, although Zhangfu's business has been hit again. Compared with the embarrassment when he participated in the township test, it is no less than a hundred times better, which is why Zhang Yi has become less surprised and smiling these days?
No matter how bad it is now, it's better than before. Even if it falls into the previous situation, it won't be any worse, right?
Thousands of students stood in the front yard of the Fuwen Academy and waited, and when the hour came, several scholars walked out of the inner courtyard with the sound of the bell and stood on the steps.
The person at the head is naturally Xie Dongliu, the head of the Fuwen Academy, who has a serious face and a tall figure, and has a breathtaking majesty. It's just that compared to the last time Zhang Yi saw him, the corners of his eyes were slightly tired, and he must have something to do with the things in the Chen Mansion in recent days.
Liu Junshou stood on Xie Dongliu's right with a signature smile on his face.
Zhang Yi stood among the students from the poor family, looking at the person on the right, his eyes were slightly drunk, and it was Chen Shuwen.
Chen Shuwen was full of smiles, his eyes kept wandering among the students, and he was also looking for Zhang Yi's figure. This time, Chen Fu was promoted to a wealthy family, and after the baptism of Wenyun, the damage suffered in the atrium of the last time at the Huajian Drinking Party was completely compensated, and he was eager to see Zhang Yi's tragic situation.
“...... You and other scholars, just listen to the questions calmly, and don't cheat. After Xie Dongliu finished speaking, according to the usual practice, Liu Jun should be disciplined.
Liu Junshou smiled and waved his hand, signaling Chen Shuwen to speak.
Chen Shuwen chuckled, no longer looking for Zhang Yi in the crowd, and began to encourage the students, bluntly saying how difficult and glorious it was for him to walk out of Longbow City and finally pass the palace examination to obtain a jinshi.
Thousands of students applauded, and a student from a poor family beside Zhang Yi asked in a low voice: "It stands to reason that when the government is examined, shouldn't it just be the court monarch and the county guard?
Another Hanmen disciple obviously knew him, and hurriedly admonished, "Shh, you keep quiet. This Chen County Commander is the second son of the wealthy Chen Mansion, and his family has a Jinshi literary position and a very high status, even if it is the court monarch and the county guard, they have to give him some face. ”
"Phew, it's them. How many scholars in Baima County have received the favor of the longbow Confucian, and the Chen Mansion encroached on the upper position of the Zhang Mansion, which was not done by the scholars. ”
The poor disciple scolded and glared at Chen Shuwen. Several poor students beside him, their eyes were frightened, and they took small steps under their feet, indicating that they had drawn a line with him.
Zhang Yi could see it clearly, even the Xiucai who had just warned this poor student moved his steps and kept silent, presumably making the same decision as other poor students.
"This brother, what's your name?" Zhang Yi approached this indignant poor student, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was not easy for him to be admitted to Xiucai so quickly as a child of a poor family.
The poor student was obviously aware of the actions of several people, his eyes were full of disdain, and when he saw Zhang Yi taking the initiative to approach, he was in a good mood, and said in a low voice: "In Xia Li Jueling, I have seen Brother Tai." ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said in a low voice: "Under Zhang Yi, Brother Li has a noble temperament, which is really admirable. And I see that Brother Li is full of breath, and he has the aura of Haoran in his body, which makes me fall in love with him. ”
"Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi ......" Li Jueling said in his heart, as if he had heard this somewhere, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he pointed at Zhang Yi excitedly and was about to speak.
Zhang Yi shushed and said: "Brother Li, now is not the time, after the house test is completed, I invite you to go to Zhang's mansion to eat and drink, you must give face, don't refuse me." ”
"Definitely, definitely. Li Jueling hurriedly surrendered his hand.
......
After Chen Shuwen finished speaking, the government test was about to begin.
Straighten up, enter the room, worship incense, worship books, and enter the examination room.
Zhang Yi passed by Xie Dongliu, and when he saw the concerned look in Yuan Jun's eyes, he smiled in return, and immediately stepped into the examination room, and began to meditate and think about the way to solve the problem.
There are regulations in the government examination, and the rest of the articles can be used without examining poetry. Nothing but poetry sounds very simple, but it is extremely difficult. Anything can be used to answer questions, and the reader must be able to say something.
At the time of the township test, Zhang Yisi and himself and Zhang Lin, and then extended to the ancient five emperors and many children of the poor family, so he wrote "The Noble Son of the Cold Family", which was born from heaven and became a child from heaven.
There was no question at the time of the county examination, and Zhang Yi found another way to write persuasive poems, but it happened to be crooked, causing "paper scrolls to dance together", and he was baptized by literary luck again, and achieved talent from heaven.
"In the past few days, the Chen Mansion has been promoted to a wealthy family, and many famous families who were originally close to the Zhang Mansion have cut off their relationship with the Zhang Mansion, which is indispensable. It's just that many scholars have fallen into the well and suppressed Fengfu Qiaofu, which makes me very angry. ”
"I was thinking about what to write during the government exam, but I just saw what that Li Jueling did in the front yard, which deepened my opinion. For justice, whether it is a child of a poor family or a child of a famous family, they all have their own adherence. ”
"Whether it is a wealthy family or a small family of dozens of people, it is all Zhang's house. The wealthy Zhangfu has a green brocade pond, Zhangfu has a lotus pond, and there are lotus leaves in the middle of summer. In this case, I will take this as a topic and thank everyone who cares about Zhang's house. ”
Zhang Yi made up his mind, took out the four treasures of the study in the bookcase, set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to grind it seriously.
This inkstone is a gift from Xie Dongliu, the monarch of the courtyard, and it is the end inkstone among the four famous inkstones. Although the inkstone is only a treasure of show talent, it is enough for Zhang Yi to use.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yi sharpened the ink and took out a Xiucai Wenbao soft pen. The killing spirit of the dragon and wolf pen is too thick and not suitable for today's answer sheet, so Zhang Yi had to retreat.
There are three types of pens, hard pen, soft pen and both.
It is as hard as a dragon wolf pen, the pen is strong, and the killing spirit is full, and most of them are used to write combat articles.
The soft pen is soft and round like jade. The pen is a combination of hard and soft, suitable for beginners.
Zhang Yi chose to be soft because the next answer sheet needs to be mellow as jade, but it is refreshing, and it achieves the effect of moisturizing things silently in the autumn rain.
Everything was ready, Zhang Yi straightened up and began to answer the question.
"The flowers of land and water, plants and trees, the lovely ones are very rich. The Eastern Jin Dynasty Tao Xian Gongming loves chrysanthemum alone. Since the Tang Dynasty, the world has loved peonies. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed. ”
After the first two sentences were written, Zhang Yi's internal qi plummeted. Daxian Tao Gongming is famous in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and 30,000 years ago, he beat Wang Xie and the two mansions with "Chrysanthemum Fu".
It's a pity that Tao Xian's longevity is about to end, in that shocking battle, he desperately fought into the endless sea and slaughtered tens of millions of water demons, which is commendable. Zhang Yi wrote the name of Daxian with the body of a talented person, and suddenly let three out of ten of the literary qi in his body be sucked.
After the third and fourth sentences were written, all the qi in Zhang Yi's body was emptied, and his face suddenly turned pale. Li Shengtang, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty 10,000 years ago, because of his love for peonies, all the scholars in the world wrote articles praising peonies.
To this day, peony is still the crown of flowers.
In just more than 70 words, Zhang Yi's article involves Daxian and even the Son of Heaven, and the literary atmosphere in the entire Fuwen Academy is surging, as if there is a Daxian in person, and the sky is suddenly dark. All the candidates and the invigilator raised their heads in horror.
Xie Dongliu raised his head suddenly, he hadn't seen this situation for more than thirty years.
"Boom!"
Just when Zhang Yi was surprised, the golden bell rang in the Fuwen Academy, and then rang for more than a quarter of an hour.
All the candidates were stunned, the vision of the golden bell ringing was rarer than the paper scroll dance, could it be that Longbow City was about to have another person from heaven?
PS: Sanjiang first, the author got his wish, thank you for your book friends.
