Chapter 188: White Plum
The county order can be said to give all candidates the greatest space to play, just with the theme of winter, this can be written a lot, winter snow, winter climate, or winter things, as long as it can be highlighted in winter, the candidates present can play freely, let them imagine at will. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, this exam question seems to have stumped some candidates, precisely because there is no clear purpose, they don't know how to write for a while, whether to write something in winter, or to directly describe winter, anything?
Because of the sentence before the county order, "success or failure depends on your performance today", this is obviously about to eliminate some people, so some candidates will think, will this be another trap given by the county order?
In fact, the sentence with the theme of winter can only be written about the winter scenery or climate, and does not include other things?
Some candidates who thought of this decided to narrow it down and focus only on the scenery and climate.
Ye Ming is not as complicated as they think, in his opinion, this is actually very simple, it is just to write about winter, whether it is scenery or climate, as long as it is related.
After thinking about it a little, Ye Ming made a decision in his heart, there were more ancient poems he learned on the earth in his previous life, and there were many poems describing winter, and he would think of plum blossoms in winter, so Ye Ming decided to move out the "White Plum" of the sage crown.
If you talk about other exam questions, the time for a stick of incense may be a little less for Ye Ming, but since it is poetry, there is no need to be nervous at all, there is goods in his stomach, Ye Ming is not in a hurry to write, but leisurely looks at the scenery in the courtyard, and looks at the other candidates around him from time to time.
It's just that he didn't write for a long time, but Li Xiuwen was anxious for him, and thought that Ye Ming couldn't think of it for a while, so he quietly came over and said in a low voice: "Brother, why don't you write it yet, don't you think of it, it's a coincidence, I went to the mountains to play in winter, and I casually wrote two poems on a whim, if you dislike being a brother's humble opinion, how about I read one to you?"
"Huh. Ye Ming smiled, he didn't expect that he would have a day that worried Li Xiuwen, a gentleman, shook his head and said: "You hurry up and write your go, I don't have to worry about it, rest assured, if you can't even write a poem, then I don't have to participate in the scientific examination." ”
"Well, that's true, it's the foolish brother who thinks too much. Li Xiuwen smiled, turned his head and returned to his desk, and wrote out one of the poems he had written before.
Seeing this, Ye Ming didn't wait any longer, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one in front of a table, so he walked over, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and began to write.
In the ice and snow forest, different peaches and plums are mixed with fragrant dust.
Suddenly, the fragrance of the night was scattered.
A total of four sentences, after the seven-word quatrain was written, Ye Ming stopped his pen, looked up at Li Xiuwen, and saw that he had also finished writing, so he waved his hand to him and said, "Come and help me take a look, what do you think of what I wrote?"
Li Xiuwen walked over, read it in a low voice, and immediately praised it loudly, "Good poetry, good poetry!"
His voice shouted so loudly that it attracted the attention of the surrounding candidates, all wanting to see what kind of poem he had written, which could be so praised.
People who know that Ye Ming once made a guess in the hearts of those who ascended the immortal tower, is it another poem that can be compared to the immortal tower?
Some people are curious, and naturally there will be people who disdain, and those who disdain are naturally those candidates who think that the county order has set a trap in this exam, but they also want to take a look, so they stopped writing and leaned their heads over, and when they finished reading, they were also surprised in their hearts, but more of them were gloating.
It turned out to be the theme of plum blossoms, the theme of the county order is winter, although plum blossoms are blooming in winter, it is a cold winter scene, but you didn't find the mystery, even if you do a good job in this poem, I'm afraid it won't be on the list.
These candidates secretly laughed in their hearts, feeling that their thoughts must be right, and this Ye Ming made such a poem, which will definitely not pass, and will definitely be eliminated in this best exam.
Chen Lan had also finished writing, and walked over to admire the white plum written by Ye Ming, "Ye Gongzi's "White Plum" is really wonderful, and the borrowing of the last two sentences makes people think directly of the cold plum standing proudly in the ice and snow. ”
"Come on, come on, spread out, I'll read it to everyone!" Li Xiuwen pushed everyone away, got into the innermost, picked up the poem, and read it out loud, some candidates who had just finished writing and hadn't read it heard Bai Mei after hearing it, they were also amazed again and again, and then looked at the poem they had written, which was simply incomparable.
Alas, I didn't expect such a great talent to appear in this spring exam, even if I failed, it is not a pity, it is also a great honor to lose under the hands of such an outstanding person.
Some candidates with a better mentality think so.
The county magistrate sat in the hall drinking tea, and when he heard the chaotic sound coming from the courtyard, he couldn't help frowning, these candidates were not good at writing poems, why did they make a fuss, and immediately he recruited a servant and said: "Go and see, what is going on with them, they are not doing well in the exam, what are they making a fuss?"
After receiving the order, the official hurriedly walked out, and after a while, he walked back with a page of paper, presented it with respectful hands, and said, "My lord, this is a poem written by a candidate named Ye Ming, and it is precisely because they read this that they started to talk about it. ”
"Oh, bring it up and I'll take a look. "The county order is also a little happy, since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, the literati are light, and those who can be praised by everyone must be doing quite well.
And he was already very optimistic about Ye Ming, and he had already heard that he had written two poems in a row in Dengxian Tower, so this time he asked everyone to compose poems, in fact, he wanted to test whether Ye Ming really had such talent.
"Your Excellency, please see. The officer hurriedly placed the paper on the desk.
"In the ice and snow forest, different peaches and plums are mixed with fragrant dust. Suddenly, the fragrance of the night was scattered. The county order was read in a subdued tone, and he was a little surprised in his heart, when he read his current text before, he felt that this son was overflowing, but it was only in the middle and upper posture, if you really want to compare, there are quite a few people who are higher than it.
It's just that I never thought that this son was also bold, and the tone was even more amazing, I asked everyone to take winter as the theme, and he actually came to personify things, but he compared himself to the arrogant and unyielding Hanmei in the cold winter.
The first two sentences of this poem write about the plum blossom ice and jade clean, proud of the frost and snow, and the character of not competing with the crowd. The last two sentences borrow plum metaphors to describe people, writing about aspirations, ideals and ambitions, with scenery and objects, and central ideas.
What the county order cares about the most is that this Ye Ming actually compares himself to Hanmei, which seems to be a little high!
Ye Ming didn't know what the county order thought, he didn't think about it so much, he just thought of this poem, so he wrote it, he naturally knew the gist of the poem, but he didn't care so much at all, what to personify people, what to compare himself to Hanmei, he didn't have such noble thoughts.
When the time for a stick of incense passed, the candidates also handed in their papers, with Ye Ming's "White Plum" in front, and the poems and county orders made by the candidates in the back were just hastily read and came to a conclusion.
As for the so-called trap, he didn't have that kind of idea at all, he just wanted to test everyone's literary talent. (To be continued.) )
