Chapter 10 Poems

"Listen up, Shanglian is, spring flowers do not fall. This article was written by...... starter," Li Pingnian said.

Zheng Qingluan hesitated for a moment and replied: "The wind is quiet and the moon is bright. ”

"The flowers do not fall in spring, and the wind is quiet and the moon is bright. King Rui read it twice, "That's right!"

Li Pingnian smiled and looked extremely satisfied: "Shanglian: Chang must drink a stone." ”

"There are 100 miscellaneous books. Zheng Qingluan didn't hesitate, this is not the time to be modest, she has to beat her reputation first, and the resistance will be less in the future-

Li Pingnian nodded with satisfaction: "The water flows and flies white jade." ”

"Flowers fall gold. ”-

"The flowers are in full bloom and shadow. ”

"The wind is cool and the pavilion is empty. ”

"Good, good, good!"

Duanwang was itchy for a while: "This king has a link, the egret forgets the machine, and looks at the clouds outside the sky." ”

"The green mountains are not old, and the flowers bloom in front of the court. Zheng Qingluan bowed solemnly in response.

"The northern geese fly south, their wings are divided up and down from east to west. Fang Qianxing looked at Zheng Qingluan with a smile, and it was inevitable that he had a little love for talent.

"The front car and the back rut go up and down on two wheels. Zheng Qingluan felt kindness and became more and more respectful.

"The sky is the chessboard, the stars are the sons, who can play?" Cao County's order is also a two-list jinshi, and the literati still have some righteousness.

"The ground is the pipa, the road is the string, which one dares to play?" Zheng Qingluan is more and more smooth, and the more right the more exquisite.

I heard the only old man in the lobby couldn't help but say: "Recalling the last year, during the famine in May, June and July, the firewood and rice were scorched, there was no inch of iron, there was no credit, no debt, although there were close relatives and distant relatives, who was willing to send charcoal in the snow." ”

"Fortunately, this year, in the first two or three sessions of the imperial examination, the articles are all suitable, and the five classics are the kui, the name is also fragrant, the surname is also fragrant, and Zhang San and Li Si are not restricted, all of which are the icing on the cake. Zheng Qingluan was sad when he heard it, and bowed to the old man.

Everyone looked at Du Zhonghe and saw what else you could say.

Du Zhonghe coughed twice, "The couplet is a small way in the end, and the real kung fu is seen in the poetry!"

Li Pingnian snorted coldly.

Zheng Qingluan was furious in his heart, and his face became more and more respectful, "Please ask the question!"

This king just drew a picture yesterday, but he didn't think of a suitable inscription. King Duan looked at Du Zhonghe coldly and ordered someone to get the painting.

Less, draw it. King Rui ordered someone to open it, and it was a picture of bamboo and stone. Ruiwang's painting is a must, and everyone praises it.

Zheng Qingluan understands that this is Duanwang's intention to release water, Meilan Zhuju, and most of the usual exercises are based on them. Even if you can't do it in class, take out the poems and texts that you practiced before, as long as they are related to bamboo, it is not off-topic.

When Zheng Qingluan saw the painting, the only thing he could think of was Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone", which is very suitable for the present. As for plagiarism or something, I can't live anymore, who still thinks about that, let's talk about it after passing the test.

So with a wave of the pen, I saw that the painting was written in cursive:

"Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

A hand of cursive writing is like flowing water, and the edge will be revealed.

"It's a good grind and a lot of blows, and it's strong, and it's windy from east to west, north and south. Li Pingnian laughed loudly, "Lord Wang, this poem, this word, and your painting complement each other very well." ”

King Rui nodded with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "Isn't it just the wind from east to west, north and south!"

Du Zhonghe's face was full of anger, and he snorted coldly: "Xiao Zheng's is dissatisfied with this examiner." ”

"Ask your Excellency to give me a question. Zheng Qingluan forced a bad breath in his heart.

"Yongzhu is common in the end, not necessarily what it is done in the classroom. In this way, the official will come up with a question at the end, if you do a good job, the official will not embarrass you!" Du Zhonghe looked at Zheng Qingluan coldly.

"Ask your Excellency to give me a question. Zheng Qingluan looked at Du Zhonghe calmly, and was already thinking about whether to use some Jianghu means to shut up this old boy forever.

"Look there. Du Zhonghe pointed outside, and saw a pile of lime piled up under the steps outside the lobby, which should be left over from the previous repair of the house. "The title is Lime. ”

The lively students outside were talking about it, with a bit of righteous indignation.

"Du Zhonghe!" Li Pingnian looked at Du Zhonghe coldly and snorted coldly. The cold light in King Rui's eyes flashed, and Governor Fang and Cao Xianling looked at Du Zhonghe with a thick disdain in their eyes.

Zheng Qingluan simply picked up the large wolf hair, splashed ink on the snow-white wall of the lobby, and read aloud while writing:

"Thousands of hammers are carved out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns as if it were idle;

Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”

When you finish writing, throw away your pen and read it aloud again to make sure everyone outside the lobby can hear it.

The poem is so easy to understand that even the peddlers and pawns understand what it means. After reading it, there was thunderous applause outside, and the applause was endless.

In the lobby, everyone also applauded. Literati have the most important integrity, and with this backbone, they can be recognized by others.

Du Zhonghe stared at Zheng Qingluan for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Zheng Qingluan looked up at Li Pingnian, and saw the old man smile: "Xiao Zheng's Qingluan, who is Xiao Yunfeng's fiancée, was convicted of a crime and confessed. Because he is less than eleven years old, please □□ order pardon. In the exam, he was excellent in all subjects, and he had to take the test and forgive his sins. ”

Zheng Qingluan relaxed at this moment, knelt down willingly, kowtowed, and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Qingluan Minggan is five!"

"Get up, and the king is waiting for you to go up to the Golden Luan Palace. King Rui laughed.

"Yes!" replied Zheng Qingluan with a smile.

"Go, your family will wait for you!" After saying that, he smiled and got up and entered the back office. Li Pingnian, Fang Qianxing, and Cao Lingan all smiled and followed. Du Zhonghe sneered, and also threw off his sleeves and left-

Three days have passed since the day of the trial, and Zheng Qingluan has slept for three days.

Always confused, like wandering between two time and space.

She sat up, thinking of the man who was looking at him from afar that day, and couldn't help but sigh, he was right, and now the two of them should not touch, but in the end, it was difficult to settle.

Since you have chosen this path, you have to go down. Now we have to fill our stomachs first. Zheng Qingluan heard that it was quiet outside, so he got up and dressed neatly, not wanting to go out and be white, it actually snowed so much in the early spring, and now it is still blowing non-stop.

Looking inside and out, there was no one at home. There was thick white porridge on the stove in the kitchen, and Zheng Qingluan drank three bowls in a row before he felt alive.

While she was washing the dishes, she heard footsteps, and she poked her head out of the kitchen to see the family cowering down the door, which must have been cold.

"Daddy, where have you been on a cold day?"

The family was very happy to see him wake up, and Xiaoba called "second sister" and pounced on him directly.

A loving and surprised look immediately appeared on Zheng Laosan's face, "Luan'er is awake." ”

"Why don't you wear more? How cold is it! Have you eaten?" Qian walked a few steps briskly and immediately greeted him.

"Come into the house, what are you washing, drop the bowl for me again!" Zheng Qingju was always duplicitous, knowing that the eldest sister loved her, Zheng Qingluan didn't care, grinned, and pushed it to her.

After entering the hall, he was pressed on the kang by the Qian family and wrapped in a quilt, Zheng Qingluan took the opportunity to pull Xiaoba over, held him in his arms, and warmed him.

"Second sister, did we go to see the house just now?" Xiao Ba shrank into Zheng Qingluan's arms, "It's so broken!"

Zheng Qingluan remembered that their house and land had been sold.

"This is a division of the family, right? How much money was divided?" Besides, it's actually good to split up, and there is less exploitation.

"Thirty taels!" Gorou pouted, "I give my grandmother five taels of silver every year." ”

Five taels of silver is a lot in the villager's house, plus two and four rooms, fifteen taels of silver a year.

"That's fine, it's all quiet!" San Lang sneered, "Life is lived by oneself, and what can be achieved by calculating other people's one-star and a half." ”

Gorou nodded approvingly, "That's the case." ”

"You speak lightly. Zheng Qingju opened the curtain and came in, took off his shoes and sat on the kang, "Our family originally had more than thirty-two taels of silver, plus the thirty taels just got, it was only sixty taels of silver." It costs thirty-five taels to buy such a broken yard, and it costs five or six taels to repair it, and it is not safe to go down the mountain, so you have to circle the wall, and you have to circle it higher, and the circle is strong, so big the yard, not ten taels can not come. If you do the math, you will have a few taels of silver left. The rest of the money has to be reserved for the old lady five taels, she must be afraid that we will not have money for her at the end of the year, she will come these two days, I don't believe it and look at it. ”

"But the abandoned yard under the mountain?" Zheng Qingluan was a little excited, the location of the yard she had long been greedy for, with the mountain and water in its back, five or six acres in size, and the side was the path from the mountain to the town, which was very close, if it was repaired slightly, it was a very private residence, and no one would pass by in front of the door to disturb it. Even better, it's very close to the secret passage, and it would be even better if you could circle the secret passage.

"Yes. Aren't you greedy?" Gorou laughed at her.

"What's there to be greedy for? It's just that the place is bigger, and you three brothers have given you the homestead. Qian Shi held the soles of his shoes, his expression was relaxed, San Lang is fourteen, it's time to say kiss.

"Oh, my mother-in-law, you can't do it like this, it's a treasure land. Zheng Qingluan said distressedly: "In the future, we will cover the house next to the mountain, and slip through the four courtyards, and cover them tightly." It doesn't cost much to occupy a little more mountainous land, and there is a half tael of silver, and the county government's documents can draw half of the mountain in, and no one wants it anyway. It turned out that the old houses in the yard were all stripped up, and more than six acres of land could be built. They are all enclosed with walls. These six acres of land are not subject to tax. There is a half-acre puddle next to the yard, which is also circled, I see, it is a small spring, which can not only store water for irrigation, but also raise fish and lotus. ”

Zheng Laosan stopped the pen in his hand, thought about it, and said: "Although it is six acres of land, I am afraid that it is not possible to grow a dealer, and the land is a little desertified." ”

"Don't plant crops! Next to the courtyard wall, plant several circles of fruit trees, fence them around, raise some chickens and ducks under the trees, and plant thorn roses in a circle around the periphery of the yard, which have a long flowering period and are full of thorns, and also prevent wild beasts from approaching, and raise two boxes of bees when they fall. Fruits, chicken and duck eggs, chickens and ducks, honey, can also be harvested dozens of taels a year. It is a thorn rose, which is sold to a spice shop, and it is worth a few taels of silver. The rest of the land, the sandy watermelon is the sweetest, we plant less here, we don't sell it when the time comes, we only use melons for food, pick and pick by ourselves, we don't need to do it. You don't have to worry about a year's worth of food. Zheng Qingluan calculated carefully.

"After harvesting melons, you can plant another season of beans or autumn vegetables. Zheng Qingju clapped his hands, "It's all kinds of vegetables, and when the time comes, it will be pickled, and my mother's craftsmanship is good, and I don't have to worry about not being able to sell it." There are also beans, and a few catties of beans sprouts are enough for daily expenses. That's a good idea!" she was the most shrewd in her calculations, "raise two more pigs, and add weeds and wild vegetables from these six acres of land plus the bran from her own flour."

Enough for pigs. ”
