Chapter 43: The Birth of an Eloquent Essay
In the hall, a group of young people were writing books.
The rest of the crowd took the opportunity to withdraw from the hall and wander around the courtyard outside, leaving only a few people inside to prevent noise and small talk.
It's like an exam.
In fact, everyone knows why a banquet has to be done, and they even know the ending.
They are like guests who have read the script in advance, sitting in the audience, joking, watching the progress on the stage with cold eyes.
"Look at that Xia Jingyun, and he is still working hard there, don't you think you can still have a show?"
"It's just a dying struggle, what do you expect him to have in this regard?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I don't count on it. I'm not on his to! ”
"Don't be so nervous, he's not a prisoner. Besides, if you are with him, maybe you can make the old lady of the Yun family look up to you? Hey! ”
"Dream, didn't you see it just now, the old lady doesn't have any special feelings for him, it's just for his friends, he helped try to stop it, and if he didn't stop it, forget it."
......
Chatting over there, the two most anxious old men in the audience also stood far away and talked.
Su Shidao sighed, "You are right, if you rashly stop this matter, it will inevitably be exposed, and the second is that people say it so high-soundingly, you have to forcibly stop it, some teachers are unknown." ”
Old Man Yun smiled, "I thought you would be so angry that you scolded me!" ”
"Are you still a stunned young man with a weak crown?" Su Shidao rolled his eyes, then shook his head slightly, and looked at the brightly lit hall, "However, he is really young and weak, young and vigorous!" ”
"It's a trivial matter to have a little resentment against me, but I'm afraid that he will be hit, or resentful of power, and he will collapse!"
Su Shidao regretted it like an afterthought: "If I had known these days, you would have taught him more about the major affairs of the country!" I don't know much about that, so you're going to have to get your broken words. ”
The corners of Old Man Yun's mouth twitched, and he was arrogant, "How much do you think I know?" ”
......
"Lord Song, you are really courageous! Aren't you afraid of offending Old Lady Yun? ”
Jiang'an County ordered Zhao Hongfei and Xuezheng Song Yanzhi to stand together, looked at the hall, and spoke softly.
Of course, Song Yanzhi understood his words, and smiled, "Isn't this offended." ”
Zhao Hongfei turned his head to look at him, "Is this what you mean, or is this what Lord Mingfu means?" ”
Song Yanzhi still smiled unchanged, "It's all for Zhong Ming's good." ”
Zhao Hongfei nodded approvingly, "I need ....... for a while."
Song Yanzhi shook his head, "Lord Zhao, don't think that that accident at the meeting can represent anything, Zhong Ming is still the most outstanding young man in the entire Surabaya Prefecture, such a trivial matter, why use any other means." ”
Listening to Song Yan's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Zhao Hongfei said yes again and again, but said with disdain in his heart: Don't you fucking do this trick tonight?
The people outside were chatting, and they didn't feel that time was difficult.
And the people inside were even more unconscious, and the time of a stick of incense passed.
When the gong sounded, everyone stopped writing.
The look of shock and regret on the faces of many young men who are writing about Xing, is the time?
Is this a stick of incense for a long time? That's what you're talking about for half an hour? You didn't lie to me?
It's a pity they don't have mirrors, otherwise they can see their expressions, like those girls who had met by chance in bed and were separated after they had finished their work quickly.
This is as good as that moment.
At that time, they were proactive and enthusiastic, and passed the interview, but failed the competition, so a relationship, such as morning dew, saw the light disperse;
At this time, they were driven ducks on the shelves, to talk about family and country affairs, once they started, they wanted to borrow the pen in their hands to satisfy a young man's competitive heart, but most of them were destined to be only foils.
It can only be said that life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.
Everyone folded and hid the names written on the left side of the scroll, and a great Confucian was responsible for collecting the scrolls one by one, and then came to the stage with a stack of more than 20 pieces of paper.
Song Xuezheng said with a smile: "First bother to recite it to everyone, and then hand it over to Master Zhao to choose ten copies." ”
Is this going to be executed?
Many people's hearts moved, and their eyes turned around Zheng Tianyu and Xia Jingyun.
Zheng Tianyu still sat calmly and calmly, whether it was the previous controversy or the writing just now, and the upcoming praise, it seemed that they could not alarm the waves of Pinghu on his face.
He is like an eagle flying high in the sky, occasionally landing among the flocks of birds, but he does not change his will, and his heart is always long.
As for Xia Jingyun.
Shh
Sitting there, there was no statue to sit on, his body was loose, and he was rubbing his sore wrist without any posture.
That's all I wrote, as for it!
Sure enough, it's a country man, vulgar!
Opposite Xia Jingyun, two scholars sitting in the back row whispered there, "Look at that Xia Jingyun, you can still laugh." ”
Another person said disdainfully: "Can you cry if you don't laugh?" Most of them are broken jars. ”
As he spoke, the Confucian above had already begun to recite the students' articles aloud.
"Concubine De's mother's mother's relatives are His Majesty's actions to protect the concubines and maintain the stability of the harem. As the saying goes, everything is prosperous at home, and everything is wasted if there is no harmony at home. His Majesty sits on the three palaces and six courtyards of seventy-two concubines, if the harem disputes and invites favors, the energy is exhausted, how can there be more energy to govern the court, it is better to let the concubines take turns to save relatives, which can not only alleviate the disputes in the harem, but also create the honey of the newlyweds....... Forget it, my lord, I can't read it anymore. ”
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and one of the two scholars before also pushed the people around him, "Listen, which idiot wrote it, and everything is not in harmony." Also create a small farewell to win the newlywed! Hahahaha! Brother Zhongyuan, why don't you laugh? ”
The people around him stiffened their faces, "I think it's rude to mock others so wantonly!" ”
Song Xuezheng's face was also a little dark, and he waved his hand, "Such an ugly work, you don't need to read it, who did it?" ”
Da Ru opened his name, "Zhou Xue student, Jianghang, Jianning County, the word Zhongyuan." ”
The scholar below was stunned, "Brother Zhongyuan, what did you write?" ”
The man had a dark face, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”
"Kukukuku!"
On the stage, Da Ru changed one and continued to read it.
But in these years, the information is extremely unsmooth, and many readers have not had much contact with government affairs at all, and they have not even read a few books.
Everything written at this moment has a kind of simplicity that the emperor digs the ground with a golden hoe.
And this is precisely where Song Xuezheng's confidence lies, and it is also where Su Shidao and others are worried.
Although Xia Jingyun is outstanding in learning, he has too little knowledge, and he has never even been in contact with politics and officials, how to write his own opinions!
It's not even as good as these excellent students in state studies, after all, people are in state schools, and there are some discussions on weekdays, and teachers will also teach some knowledge, and occasionally they can participate in some gatherings attended by nobles, although they are all superficial, but they are always inspiring.
After a series of five or six manuscripts that were nothing, there was finally a manuscript written about appeasing Surabaya Prefecture and promoting the emperor's prestige.
And gradually, the level is slowly rising.
Especially the manuscripts of Zeng Jiming, Lin Feibai and others, there can be some merit.
After all, the manuscripts are received from the front row to the back row, and the overall quality of the back row is indeed not as good as sitting in the front row.
Song Xuezheng also breathed a sigh of relief, if it was the previous manuscript tonight, not to mention that his state Xuezheng would be at the end, and his reputation would be stinky.
Now that he is barely qualified, he can finally put his mind at ease, just waiting for the verdict between Zheng Tianyu and Xia Jingyun, and tonight's scene will be considered a success.
The big Confucian who was reading the manuscript on the field had already changed one, he reached out and picked up the next manuscript, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Yo, this one is written a lot, let's listen to how well it is written." ”
[Where to govern a country, it is complicated and chaotic, but the root of it is nothing more than four: political affairs, wealth, soldiers, and etiquette. 】

After reading it slowly, there was no sound in the field.
