Chapter 023: Mulan Poems

In the Zhongyuan world, the old-school idea of male superiority and inferiority of women like Wenzhangyuan occupies a large proportion, and the perennial battle with demon beasts has led to heavy casualties among human beings, and the phenomenon of more women than men in human society has caused problems in marriage, family, society and other aspects.

Out of some selfish interests, powerful men like to bind women with the idea of male superiority and inferiority, but how can women want to be a vulnerable group that can only have children and become male playthings?

Women have always been working hard to improve their status, female warriors are not uncommon, spiritual masters give preference to women training, and some fine craft positions of craftsmen can only be held by women, only the number of women among the literati is the smallest, so the idea of male superiority and female inferiority is mostly instilled by civil officials, which is also one of the reasons why literati are not treated well by women.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Xinyue's eyes, she didn't expect Yue Heng to say such things in public, and she very cleverly shifted Kuang Qing's attack to the controversial topic of "women are inferior to men", which was fundamentally different from Kuang Qing's original intention "You hide behind women and dare not come out", which is enough to see Yue Heng's cunning.

"You quibble!" Kuang Qing was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand again, but he was cut by Yue Heng's fierce eye, and he had the intention of retreating for no reason.

"Brother Kuang Qing, I heard that you call yourself a talent, this girl has been admired for a long time, why don't we learn from each other after the exam?" A tall and sturdy female warrior in the crowd clenched her fists, and her fingertip joints rattled.

"It's better to go up with the Kuang family brothers, the slave family is not so delicate, and they can afford to be whipped by the two sons at the same time, hehe~" Another fat girl in black clothes deliberately licked her tongue, and her fat hand tried to put her hand on Kuang Qing's shoulder, which frightened him to retreat again and again, causing the surroundings to laugh.

The competition between low-level literati and martial artists is basically looking for abuse, and when they wait until they are above the fifth-level literary, the combat effectiveness of the literati can be compared with the fifth-level martial artists, and the Kuang Qing Kuangyun brothers dare not answer at all, not to mention that this woman is obviously ridiculing.

"The re-examination is about to start, why don't you wait to prepare for the exam quietly, what are you doing here?"

One person shouted loudly outside the crowd, and the inspection examiners such as Qi County Ling and Wen Zhangyuan walked in, scaring many people to sneak away, and Kuang Qing Kuangyun's team, as well as Yue Heng and Wen Xinyue, these people did not dare to disperse casually in full view.

"Why is it so noisy, if it's a little thing, quickly disperse!"

Qi Xian Ling frowned and asked, he knew that Kuang Qing Kuangyun was the beloved disciple of Wen Zhangyuan, and he also knew the relationship between Yue Heng and Wen Xinyue, and he asked this sentence just to separate the two sides of the conflict as soon as possible.

Kuang Yun had an idea, he thought of a poisonous plan, and replied respectfully: "Master Huiqi, Master Wen, Brother Fang Cai presented a woman's hymn to Miss Wen, and at this time, he sang a strange song to praise the woman for going into battle to kill the enemy and join the army, the student was curious, and sincerely asked Brother Yue for advice." ”

"Oh, women's hymns, strange songs?" Qi County Ling and Wen Zhangyuan glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of chuckles, they thought of that resonant text, could it be that Yue Heng made another excellent article?

"Brother Yue, Lord Qi and Wenzhang Academy are here, why don't you sing that complete hymn for everyone to enjoy and appreciate? and let everyone see how talented the student who swore to win the top child in Hong County is?" Kuang Qing quickly understood what his younger brother meant, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, respectfully asking Yue Heng for advice.

"Yue Heng swears to win the first child in Hong County?"

Not only was Qi County Ling and Wenzhang Academy a little surprised, but it also made those candidates and students who did not get away feel absurd, and some even laughed out loud on the spot, Hong County is full of talents, the Kuang brothers are famous, and Ji Cong is known as the first name of the spring examination of Tianzhong's talent, how can it be the turn of this Yue Heng, who does not look like a child?

Yue Heng secretly scolded in his heart, these two bastards, this is trying to force me to make a fool of myself in public, and it is to make a fool of myself in front of the highest magistrate of Hong County, as long as I don't handle the etiquette properly, I will definitely leave a bad impression on the two examiners!

Wen Zhangyuan was about to speak out to dissuade him, but Qi Xianling stopped him with his eyes, and the two quickly exchanged glances, and the tacit understanding formed by years of working together made everyone feel the same mind.

One of the parties involved is Wen Xinyue and Yue Heng, who is specially recruited, and the other party is a beloved disciple of Wen Zhangyuan, if they are blocked at this moment, it is easy to be said that they are deliberately biased towards one party, and they will be truthful, and the reputation will not be good, and it will also make people feel that there is something strange in this matter.

Moreover, the two of them are at the scene of the highest civil servants in Hong County, of course, they can control the scene at any time, even if Yue Heng is talented, can he still make another resonant article?

Even if they make a resonant text, both of them are third-level bachelors, can they hear it? Interruption is possible at any time, and any reason can be found to interrupt Yue Heng's words.

"Yue Heng, there are really not many articles in the Zhongyuan world praising and praising women who go into battle to kill the enemy and serve in the army, if you really have this article, read it out and let everyone listen to it, if it is a good work, at least you can get the favor of the female candidates present, and someone will take care of it when you take the retest!" Wen Zhangyuan stared at Yue Heng with a smile, and his face was pleasant.

"Isn't it because Yue Heng is the illegitimate son of Qi County? is it necessary to say good things for him like this?" Wen Xinyue rolled her father's eyes, she looked down on this kind of behavior from the bottom of her heart.

Yue Heng opened his mouth, but he still couldn't spit out a word, he was really forced to a dead end.

He quickly thought in his heart, the song he sang just now was a Henan opera, "Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men" sung by Chang Xiangyu, there was a period of time when there was a program of this song at the Spring Festival Gala every year, which should be a household name and everyone knows it.

This song is an adaptation of "Mulan Poem" into Henan Opera, the prototype of the character is the legendary female hero Hua Mulan in ancient China, and this Mulan is a character that is not recorded in the history books, only existing in the "Mulan Poem", a Yuefu folk song of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and he does not know whether this person has appeared in the Zhongyuan world, which is also an important reason for his hesitation.

Seeing that Yue Heng didn't speak for a long time, Kuang Qing added a fire and said with a strange smile: "At this time, there is not much time left before the official exam, if Brother Yue is really confident, and he will make a good essay before the exam, it will definitely be the same as a poem in seven steps, and a good story for a literati!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people became angry.

After the first year of divine punishment, the literati carried out hundreds of years of cultural research, and the seven-step poem was excavated from the relics of the ancient Wei State, and Cao Zhi, a talented and famous Wei literati, has since influenced tens of millions of literati students in the Zhongyuan world, and because of his literary achievements, he was enshrined as a god by the literati in the Fuxi Confucian Temple.

Kuang Qing's words were to kill Yue Heng, a literati who was not even a child, how could he be compared with Cao Zhi's gods?

What is even more inappropriate is to compare Yue Heng, who is not even a child, with Cao Zhi, this is the god Cao Zhi enshrined in the Temple of Literature!

"Kuang Qinger dare!"

Wen Zhangyuan shouted loudly, so frightened that Kuang Qing hurriedly knelt down, and the surroundings were even quieter in an instant, and no one dared to speak.

"How can the gods of the Temple of Literature be judged at will? Fortunately, you did it unintentionally, otherwise the gods outside the sky would definitely send down divine thunder to remove you, and Emperor Fuxi Xingchen would also destroy your divine palace and expel you from the ranks of the literati!"

Kuang Qing heard Wen Zhangyuan's scolding, his face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed again and again: "Wenshi, the student made a mistake for a while, and there is absolutely no blasphemy/blasphemy of the gods!

"Hmph! Huangkou Xiaoer, he has bad thoughts and disrespectful words!" Qi Xian Ling flicked his sleeves, he was scheming, how could he not see the actions of Kuang Qing and Kuang Yun brothers to frame Yue Heng?

"Boiled beans are used as soup, and soaked beans as juice. The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle. Kuang Qing, since you know how to make a poem in seven steps, don't you know how to interpret the word 'brother' in the poem? You and Yue Heng are both literati students and protégés of the same year, and you are so hard pressed to say such a rebellious remark, it really makes people feel ironic to hear it! Why is it too anxious to fry each other? Hmph!" Another examiner scolded with his sleeves brushed his sleeves, almost spitting on Kuang Qing's face.

Wen Zhangyuan was anxious, one was his beloved apprentice, and the other was Yue Heng, who couldn't afford to offend the Ministry of Culture, even if he deliberately said that it was an unintentional move to become Kuang Qing just now, but how others would think of Kuang Qing was not something he could control.

Seeing that this had become a farce, and it seemed that there was no way to end it, Yue Heng finally spoke.

He is not to save Kuang Qing, but to give Wen Zhangyuan a face, Wen Xinyue helps him, Wen Zhangyuan is also secretly protecting him, he must give this face.

"Brother Kuang thinks too highly of me, my Yue Heng is just a small person, how dare I compare with the gods enshrined in the Temple of Literature? It takes time to prepare for singing the complete song just now, and now there may not be enough time, so it's better to do this, I can sing it again after the re-examination, I will tell you another story first." ”

Yue Heng looked at Kuang Qing with a smile, obviously seeing the gratitude in the other party's eyes, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

Wen Zhangyuan relieved his heart, he realized the kindness that Yue Heng exuded, smiled and stroked his beard and asked, "Is there really a song fu that is ready?"

Yue Heng smiled shyly: "The student knows a little bit about poetry and songs, and he is ugly." Students want to ask first, I wonder if you have heard of Mulan?"

Everyone shook their heads, no one had heard of them, and those who consciously dabbled in Dorki's thoughts also shook their heads after pondering.

"The surname Hua is really rare, and Mulan has never heard of this person. ”

"It is rumored that the surname Hua is the descendant of Queen Wen of Zhou, but I have never heard of the appearance of the flower name. ”

"I wonder what nationality he is?"

Wen Zhangyuan, who had read through the classics of the county academy, also pondered, but it was soon determined that he had not heard of Hua Mulan either.

Everyone hadn't heard of the best, Yue Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and he laughed: "Then I'll tell you a story before the exam today, called "Mulan Poem"......!

Rumble!

At the moment when Yue Heng spoke, the entire waiting hall suddenly changed its environment, and everyone was floating in the air, like gods, and their surrounding environment suddenly changed from the waiting room to the sky above a dilapidated thatched house.

"Oh no!

Several examiners were startled and shouted.
