Wang Xuezheng asked Wei Chen for the papers, not to see the test papers of Wei Chen's previous exams, but to read Wei Chen's poems.

The Great Zhou scholars usually prepare such a volume, select the poems and texts that they are most satisfied with and have the highest level transcribed on it, and prepare the teachers to check the school at any time.

Sometimes, just such a thin volume can become a scholar's advancement.

Wei Chen has only studied the four books for half a month, although he has memorized all the four books backwards, but it can only be regarded as a rough understanding of the scriptures, and it is a little difficult to make a decent current text with this little knowledge.

And Wei Chen has long heard that Wang Wenqing, the scholar of this province, was born in Shujishi, and after the expiration of the three-year period of the Hanlin Academy, he was appointed as the imperial historian of the museum, and then appointed by the Son of Heaven as the Jiangnan Provincial Scholar.

Such a person, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has studied the past and the present, and the article is Huaguo, and his vision must not be ordinarily high, and it is undoubtedly more difficult for Wei Chen's Shiwen to get his favor.

Since the time is not desirable, Wei Chen simply abandoned this path and devoted himself to poetry.

Anyway, Wei Chen is only ten years old now, and it is understandable that he can't write at such a young age.

Although Baguwen is the mainstream of scientific examinations at present, and the township examination and the general examination do not test the poems, but the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination are still occasionally tested.

This school is not an official exam, so Wei Chen does not need to write in strict accordance with the requirements of the test poem, he only needs to write a short and concise poem to show his talent.

So, what poems should you choose?

Wei Chen immediately searched in his mind for a while.

First of all, the text should be plain and timeless, and there is no need for too many dictionaries, otherwise it will be an axe for the class.

Secondly, it must be in line with the identity of a poor student, and the theme should be optimistic and upbeat, and you can't complain and complain.

Once these two points have been determined, the range of options is much narrower.

……

In the lecture hall, Wang Xuezheng opened the scroll handed by Wei Chen and glanced at it cursoryly.

The scroll is made of fine bamboo paper, with a seven-character poem on it, and two lines of seven-character pairs, which Wei Chen felt that only one poem was too thin, so he used it to fill the scroll.

Wang Xuezheng saw that although the pair of the two lines was not very outstanding, it rhymed together, and the battle was neat, so he nodded at the moment, and looked at the seven-character poem in the middle of the volume.

"Bamboo stone?"

When Wang Xuezheng saw the title of the poem, he knew that this should be a poem, but he had seen a lot of poems about bamboo, and this poem of bamboo and stone was the first time he had seen it.

Wang Xuezheng couldn't help but feel a little interested, and continued to look at it.

After a while, Wang Xuezheng read the whole poem, closed his eyes and savored it, suddenly opened his eyes, patted his thigh, and burst out: "Okay!" ”

Feng Zhixian, who was beside him, was so happy to see Wang Xuezheng so happy, and suddenly became curious, and immediately leaned over, only to see that the scroll was written in square letters:

Insist that Qingshan does not relax,

The roots are in the broken rock.

Thousands of blows are still strong,

Ren Er's east, west, north and south winds.

Wang Xuezheng turned his head and asked Feng Zhixian with a smile: "Brother Tan Tai, I heard that you studied under Mr. Shannong, a master in the poetry world, and you have always been quite famous for poetry, I don't know what you think of this poem?" ”

Feng Zhixian handed the scroll back to Wang Xuezheng, and sighed twice, and then said: "This poem is simple and bright, and the words are near and far, which is really a rare masterpiece!" ”

Wang Xuezheng smiled slightly, noncommittal, and ordered his subordinates to circulate Wei Chen's scroll to everyone.

Seeing that Wang Xuezheng and Feng Zhixian praised Wei Chen's poem, everyone was itchy for a long time, and wanted to see the true face of this poem, so they came up one after another.

Among these people, there are the scribes of the Yamen, the local gentry of Youyang, and the staff of the two Shangguan's masters, naturally there is no shortage of people who know the goods, and when they see this "Bamboo and Stone", they all nod frequently.

"A good one insists that Qingshan is not relaxed, this beginning of a bite word, a thousand words, really portrays the fortitude of Jinzhu vividly!"

"Ink on bamboo, both in stone, bamboo is strong and stone, and the wind and bones are strong!"

"Let you wind and rain, I am only proud and independent, and this true gentleman's wind is also!"

Hearing that these literati praised Wei Chen's poems, when everyone looked at Wei Chen again, their eyes were already full of shock and envy.

The literary style of this dynasty is extremely prosperous, and there are not only many people who can write this poem, but it is unheard of to be able to have such an amazing talent at the age of ten!

Wang Xuezheng looked at Wei Chen with a smile, his eyes were full of admiration, what he valued was not how brilliant the words in Wei Chen's poems were, but how he looked at his ambition through his poems, and saw Wei Chen's style as a scholar!

Seeing that everyone was still discussing, Wang Xuezheng coughed lightly and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said leisurely: "Wei Chen, you are very good at writing, this official is very pleased, and decided to reward you, what reward do you want, just say it." ”

Wei Chen's heart sank when he heard this, and he understood that this was another test for Wang Xuezheng for himself.

If Wang Xuezheng directly rewarded Wei Chen, then there was nothing to say, the elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign, so naturally he would accept whatever Wei Chen gave.

But now that Wang Xuezheng wants Wei Chen to make his own request, this proportion is not easy to grasp.

If there are too many requirements, Wang Xuezheng will feel that Wei Chen is greedy, and most of the good impression he painstakingly created before will be ruined.

If you don't want anything, you seem to be high-minded, but in fact you are extremely stupid, and if you don't say anything about Xuezheng, others will think you are hypocritical or even cowardly.

For a while, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what reward Wei Chen planned to ask Wang Xuezheng for.

This is an opportunity that a sentence may change the fate of a lifetime, Wei Chen did not dare to ignore it at all, he calmed down, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Back to the University of Science and Technology, the student has thought about it." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Wei Chen said in a deep voice: "The student wants to ask the student to leave a pair of ink treasures for the Sheng family's righteous learning, and I hope that the master will be successful." ”

"Clever!"

Shi Kai could hardly help but clap his hands in admiration.

With only one song "Bamboo and Stone" that has been appreciated by Xuezheng University, after today, Wei Chen will be famous in Jiangnan, which is enough for Wei Chen.

Therefore, instead of asking for a reward for himself, Wei Chen should give the reward to Sheng Yixue.

This can not only show Wei Chen's gratitude to Yixue, leave a good impression in Xuezheng's heart, but also make Sheng Wei owe a favor.

It is not only famous, but also affordable, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After listening to Wei Chen's request, Wang Xuezheng said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Get a pen and paper. ”

Immediately, two personal elders took the pen and paper, and Wang Xuezheng dipped the pen in ink and waved it immediately.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be the four big characters of "Chongxian Yuying", and the font was vigorous and powerful, majestic and vigorous.

Sheng Wei happily stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you for the Mobao!" ”

After being allowed to get up by Wang Xuezheng, Sheng Wei accepted this precious and important character, and then turned his head and instructed his subordinates: "Engrave these four characters into a stone plaque and build it in Yixue for later generations to admire." ”

Hearing Sheng Wei's words, Wang Xuezheng nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "The hometown of loyalty and righteousness has its own splendid talents, and it is very rare for you to set up a righteous school, shelter the lonely cold, and not let the virtuous talents be left in the countryside." ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Feng Zhixian: "Brother Tan Tai, this education work, you also have a share of Youyang Zhixian!" ”

"Master Xuezheng praised it falsely."

Feng Zhixian leaned forward, not daring to say anything, and caught a glimpse of Sheng Wei with a spring breeze on the side, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

This Sheng Wei's luck is really good, Yixue has produced a talent like Wei Chen, and he has been praised by the Xuezheng University himself, and he may not be able to treat him slowly in the future.
