At this point, the screen of the movie turns, and the playback continues:

After being admitted to Xiucai, Fan Jin finally raised his eyebrows.

The next day, Fan Jin was not allowed to pay homage to his neighbors.

Wei Haogu made another appointment with a group of friends in the same case and corresponded with each other.

Because it was a township test year, I did several literary meetings.

Since these days, Fan Jin has been happy.

Unknowingly, at the end of June, these people in the same case asked Fan to go to the countryside for a test.

But Fan Jin opened the door of the house, rummaged through the coils, and found that the rice in the rice jar at home had bottomed out, not to mention the silver.

Because he had no money, he could only negotiate with his father-in-law.

When he came to his father-in-law's house, he was spat on his face by Hu Butcher, scolded a dog blood sprinkler, and said:

"Don't lose your time! You yourself only feel that you have won a match, so 'the toad wants to eat swan meat'!

I heard people say that even when the prime minister was in the middle, it was not your article, or the grandmaster saw that you were an old crow, but he didn't care, and gave it to you.

Now I want to get up with the master!

These old men are all 'Wenqu stars' in the sky!

Don't you see those masters in the Zhang Mansion in the city, all of whom have thousands of pieces of furniture, and they have big ears in every aspect?

Like you, a sharp-beaked monkey gills, you should also pee and take care of yourself!

If you don't want to eat swan fart!

Take this heart as soon as possible, and find a museum for you in our actions next year, find a few taels of silver every year, and feed your immortal old lady and your wife is serious!

You asked me to borrow a plate, I killed a pig a day and I couldn't make any money, so I threw all the silver with you in the water, and called my family to swallow the northwest wind!"

After a meal, Fan Jin, who was scolding, couldn't touch the door.

Fan Jin resigned from his father-in-law and came back, thinking to himself: "The respected teacher said that my time has come, and there has been no outsider since ancient times, if you don't go in to test him, how can you be willing?"

Because of the discussion with several people in the same case, he hid it from his father-in-law and went to the city and countryside to try.

Out of the field, even if you go home.

Tsaicai's family had been hungry for two or three days.

was known by the Hu butcher and scolded again.

During this period, Fan Jin suffered countless white eyes, embarrassment at home, shyness in his pocket, and insults outside, which made people feel extremely depressed.

With the movie playing, everyone's mood is very nervous, these poor students naturally have a sense of substitution, and the name of the movie is Fan Jinzhongju.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the middle-aged and poor!!

They all wanted to see Fan Jinzhong's move, raising his eyebrows.

And those Confucian scholars and the children of the family scolded angrily:

"This Li Xiao is clearly insulting us and other scholars, my scholars are characterful, how can they bend their waists for two buckets of rice."

"Take a look at yourself, and when Fan Jin is moved, I have to beat this old man to death."

Obviously, they have become detached from reality and cannot pay attention to the suffering of the people.

And the movie shot by Zhu Yunwen is what really happened.

Let more students empathize.

At this point, the screen of the movie turns, and the playback continues:

On the day of the list, there was no rice for breakfast at home, and my mother instructed Fan Jindao:

"I have a hen that lays eggs, you can sell it quickly, buy a few liters of rice to cook porridge and eat, I am already hungry and I can't see."

Fan Jin hurriedly hugged the chicken and walked out the door.

Less than two hours later, only the sound of gongs could be heard, and three horses rushed into the future. The three men got off their horses, tied their horses to the thatched huts, and shouted, "Hurry up and ask Master Fan to come out, congratulations on high school!"

The mother didn't know what was going on, so she hid in the house in fright, and when she heard it, she dared to stick out her head and say, "Please sit down, the child has just gone out."

The reporters said, "It's an old lady."

Everyone is huddled around to like money.

It was noisy, and there were a few horses, the second and third reports, and a room of people was crowded, and the thatched hut was full.

The neighbors all came, huddled to watch.

The old lady had no choice but to go and a neighbor to find his son.

The neighbor ran to the market, but could not find him anywhere.

Straight to the east of the set, I saw Fan Jin holding a chicken, a straw mark in his hand, pacing step by step, looking around, looking for someone to buy there.

The neighbor said: "Fan Xianggong, go back quickly!" You congratulate you on winning the lift, and the annunciation crowds a room. “

Fan Jin was coaxing him, but he only pretended not to hear it, and walked forward with his head down.

When the neighbors saw that he had ignored him, they came up and took the chicken from his hand. Fan Jin said: "What did you do to take my chicken?" You don't buy it. “

The neighbor said, "You have been lifted, so ask your family to send the newspaper."

Fan Jin said: "Gao Lin, you know that I don't have rice today, and I want to sell this chicken to save my life, why do you use this to confuse me?" I'm not stubborn with you, you go back, don't mistake me for selling chickens. “

When the neighbor saw that he didn't believe him, he snatched the chicken, threw it in the ground, and pulled it back. The reporter saw it and said, "Okay, the nouveau riche is back."

Just as he was about to hug him and speak, Fan Jin walked into the house in three or two steps, and saw that the newspaper post in the middle had been hung up, and it read: "Good news for the seventh place in the township test of your lord Fan Zhen in the township exam." Beijing Daily even appeared in Huangjia. “

"Hit, hit, finally hit."

The poor students breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling as if they had been lifted.

The plot is put here, it is already the climax, just waiting for the moment of turning over, no math students feel that this is a bittersweet end, how tragic it is before, and how cool it is now.

But they soon fell silent.

The movie continues to play:

Fan Jin didn't look at it, read it again, read it again, clapped his hands, laughed, and said, "Oh! All right! I'm in!"

As he spoke, he fell back and fell, clenched his teeth, and fell unconscious.

The old lady panicked and poured a few mouthfuls of boiling water over in a panic.

He got up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Wow! Good! I'm in!"

Laughing, he couldn't help but say something, and ran out of the door, startling both the reporter and the neighbors.

Not many ways out of the gate, I kicked in the pond, struggled, my hair fell apart, my hands were yellow mud, and I was dripping with water.

The crowd couldn't stop him, clapped and laughed, and walked all the way to the set. Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "It turns out that the nouveau riche is crazy with joy."

The old lady cried, "How can such a miserable thing happen! Whoever was hit by a lifter, got this clumsy disease! This is crazy, when will it be good?"

The lady Hu said: "Go out in the morning, how can you get such a disease!" How is this good?"

At this time, Fan Jin was in a bad face, and when he saw people, he shouted that I was hit, I was hit, like a crazy look.

See here.

Everyone was silent, they didn't expect that Fan Jin would end up like this, and the happy people were crazy.

After more than 40 years of exams, I finally won the lift when I was in my fifties, but I was crazy and extremely ironic.

But then, the irony is even more to come.

In the later plot, Fan Jin is already half crazy and half stupid, and he is still half sober, and his mental state is very wrong.

His father-in-law still changed his normal state, groveled, and said something completely different from before: "This virtuous son-in-law of mine is highly talented and has a good character, even these old men in the Zhang Mansion and Zhou Mansion in the city do not have such a decent appearance as my son-in-law."

Sure enough, many people came to flatter him: some gave him land; Someone sent it to the store; There are also those who are broken and settled, and the two of them come to join the servants and try to shelter them.

After two or three months, Fan Jin's family had slaves and maids.

Naturally, money and rice are needless to say.

The contrast between the front and back is very different.

Soon, Fan Jin became an official.

Even if a person is stupid, he can still be an official, no matter whether he is really stupid or fake crazy, as long as he is in the exam, it is enough!

Ironic!

That's right, the reason why Li Xiao chose this Fan Jinzhongju movie is because it is the pinnacle of satirical literature in Chinese history.

The story revolves around Fan Jinzhongju, and there is never a word of praise or disapproval, love and hatred, which makes the image, behavior, and heart of the satirical object self-contradict and ugly because of Fan Jinzhongju, so as to vividly expose all kinds of ugly phenomena and people's pathological psychology.

The sharp contrast is adopted, and the characters and the imperial examination system are vividly satirized.

Through the comparison before and after, the appearance of his butcher and villain is vividly expressed, and the contrast between the people around him is also thought-provoking.

Once Fan Jin was promoted, 34 years of torture and destruction, 34 years of forbearance and humiliation, and 34 years of bitterness all broke out in "madness".

"Where is this movie, it is clearly the truth!"

"Bloody facts!"

A down-and-out reader fell silent.

It was as if he saw himself in a movie, and he saw his whole life!

No, I'm not as good as Fan Jin!

Because I haven't even been admitted to the exam

"The ups and downs of the world are like the tide and the waves, and the warmth and coldness of people are like swords and frost."

A scholar in a washed white shirt couldn't help but cry.

He thought about his own situation.

His father took the exam all his life, drifted away for half his life, and suddenly died, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other.

In order to support her, her mother remarried again and entered a master's house as a concubine, becoming the twelfth concubine.

In the courtyard of the deep house, the mother and son suffered for two years, and then they were disgusted by the eldest master, excluded by other concubines, and lived in the demolished house, I don't know how many white eyes they suffered.

In the cold winter, in order to prevent the two of them from freezing to death, his mother secretly went to the forest in the house to chop wood, and was found and beaten half to death, he will always remember his mother's desperate eyes.

It wasn't until he was twenty-two years old that he passed the Tongsheng examination, and his status improved.

Having tasted the sweetness, he wanted to continue the imperial examination.

As long as you are admitted to the Jinshi, you can change your painful life.

However, ten years later, my mother died of illness in bed and did not see that day.

The girl who made a lifelong agreement with him, because his father-in-law didn't like him as a child, beat the mandarin duck and broke up.

He told the girl that if she waited for three years, he would definitely get married.

Three years later, he still fell off the list.

The beloved girl has long been married.

Despair, desperation!

He has long been swept out of the house, in his thirties, there is no one to do, and there is no place for him in the world, so he has to continue the imperial examination while doing odd jobs.

Cold, lonely, hungry, embarrassed. Always with him.

But what could he do?

can only rely on the imperial examination and continue to turn over, there is no other way.

And this time the cancellation of the imperial examination made him unacceptable, he took all the remaining entanglements and went all the way to the capital to ask for an explanation.

If the imperial examination was really canceled, he might have committed suicide by jumping into the river

When he saw this movie, he really hated the imperial examination.

But helplessly, what could he do, if it was canceled earlier, he would definitely approve it with both hands.

But now, when it comes to himself, he has no money, only this belly of ink Confucianism, Bagu Wen, is his last ability.

"In just one hour, let me see through the world, it's really a fact, before I was lifted, no one cared about it, everyone spurned, but after the lift, it changed, the person is still the same person, even if he is crazy, it is envied by countless people, it's so ironic!"

Another reader muttered to himself.

"Could it be that my generation of scholars should not be for the country and the people, but the fact is that they are busy all their lives, just for a fame?"

"This movie is so ironic, the imperial examination is really like this, it is the only way for us to jump over the dragon gate, but how many fish can jump over this dragon gate, even ordinary people are not as good!"

"After watching this movie, I suddenly felt that it made sense to cancel the imperial examination, but if the imperial examination was canceled, where should we go, but if the imperial examination was not eliminated, how many of us would be able to get famous."

A large number of poor scholars have become more and more silent.

They keep their heads down, depressed, confused, and have mixed tastes.

Apparently already autistic!

Another group of Confucian scholars stood up and scolded:

"What kind of bullshit movie, it's not the truth at all, it's all nonsense, bullshit stuff!"

"That's right, this is obviously to discredit us, Xiucai's family is poor, you can report to the local official to be exempted from food service, it is impossible to be so poor!"

"Yes, as long as you are admitted to Xiucai, the Ming Law stipulates that you can be exempted from indoor servants, where is it to the point of being down, this movie is clearly made up."

These Confucian scholars have a superior family background, and their ancestors raised people in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Jinshi officials were exempt from tax and military service, and they had a lot of land, and they all interacted with people of the same class, and they didn't see the suffering of the people, so they naturally didn't believe in this kind of thing.

"Then Fan Jin is a talent in his fifties, don't you see it clearly, besides, even if it is a show, what if he is exempted from hard labor, there is no land, there is a way to make money, it costs money to study, it costs money to eat, isn't it normal to be downcast?"

A poor reader retorted.

"That's your waste, you're useless, if I are, I'll find a piece of tofu and kill me." The Confucian scholars scolded arrogantly.

The scholar immediately relented, sat down, and did not dare to say anything more.

No one spoke for him, these down-and-out gentlemen had no money in their pockets, and sometimes they were even inferior to the common people.

They have listened to a lot of cold words on weekdays, and they have long developed a submissive mentality.

The movie is still playing.

Behind is the scene of Fan Jin's non-stop madness.

It's extremely ironic, even though he is crazy, he wears an official uniform and sits in an official position to handle the case (slightly changed the script)

The film continues, and the screen turns to black.

The movie is over, the curtain is over!

Then there are white words on a black background:

[This movie was filmed in real time, and the real Fan Jin was named 'Zhao Sanlang', and he was not hit, but after getting the news, he was still crazy. ]

After seeing this line of subtitles, everyone fell silent.

It turned out to be what really happened, and moreover. It's crazy.

This sentence touched everyone's hearts a lot!

[Full of economy but nowhere to go, how many Fan Jin are there in the world, Fan Jin is by your side, do you want to be the next Fan Jin?] Abolish the imperial examination so that every talent can be reused. ]

As soon as the picture turned, subtitles were presented, which were a message written by Li Xiao:

[The mountain is near the moon and the moon is far away, and the moon is small, so the mountain is larger than the moon. ]

[If any man's eyes are as big as the sky, let him see the mountains and the moon wider.] ]

Silent.

The entire cinema fell silent.

Silent.

The literati are completely autistic, and they don't know where to go.

Confucian was furious and felt humiliated.

A few days ago, they criticized and wrote, but Li Xiao ridiculed all the readers fiercely with only one step of the movie.

In particular, the latter poem clearly says that they are short-sighted and short-sighted, and they cannot see the benefits of canceling the imperial examination.

"The national teacher is right"

Nan Nan, a down-and-out student, said, "The imperial examination is indeed harmful, what is the use of waiting for my life to waste my life and learn this belly full of eight shares." ”

"Although the imperial examination is not good for us, it can save future generations of students from the world from tragedy!" Another down-and-out student burst into tears.

They empathize, but they have ambitions, and although the abolition of the imperial examination is not good for them, it is good for the scholars who come after.

"If so, let him go. I've been waiting for half my life, the imperial examination is hopeless, and I can't pass those rich children, so what does it matter if I can't cancel it or not? ”

These down-and-out students sighed deeply: "If it is according to the reform of the national teacher, other places are like Beiping, everyone can take the exam, and if you fail the exam, you can also engage in the job you like, which is not bad."

"Crazy, really crazy!"

After hearing these discussions, the Confucian scholars shouted frantically: "You have been brainwashed by that national teacher, and you have been tricked!" ”

"This is Li Xiao's magic trick!"

"Smash it, smash this theater, lest Li Xiao bewitch all beings!"

"I'm waiting for support, smash!"

These Confucian scholars rolled up their sleeves and wanted to move.

Before Zhu Gaosui could stop it, Wang Jianlin appeared with a group of men dressed in black and holding sticks, shouting: "I will show you a movie for free, and I will smash my movie theater, you guys really don't know what to do, let's leave quickly!" ”

Wang Jian said in his heart, these scholars are really difficult to serve, if they hadn't prepared in advance, the movie theater that spent their hearts and minds would be smashed on the first day.

With a wave of his hand, the black-clothed men came out from all corners, and there were hundreds of them.

A group of black-clothed men were menacing, standing around with sticks, looking at the situation, as long as anyone dared to smash it, they would immediately rush up and eat a beating.

These Confucian students who were about to smash the movie theater were cowardly, and the heroes didn't suffer the immediate losses, and a Confucian student rolled down his sleeves again and drank: "It's really majestic, this Beiping is a mess, and the slaves dare to do it to me and other people with meritorious reputation!" ”

The mouth is hard, but the body is very honest, and he strides away with his head held high.

Subsequently, all the scholars followed suit, jumped out, and escaped in a blink of an eye.

That's it.

The film was played from morning till night.

In two days, almost the entire Confucian scholars and scholars in Beiping were included.

The effect is also very significant, the people who criticize and write are gone, everyone is silent, no one scolds Li Xiao on the street, and the people who can be seen everywhere are drinking sullenly.

As for the Confucian scholars, they were angry, seeing that the situation was turning towards Li Xiao's side, but they were helpless

Guogong Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, a good move!"

Zhu Gaosui gave a thumbs up.

After two days of investigation, it was found that the literati were autistic, and the Confucian scholars could only be incompetent and furious.

"Hehe, don't worry about these for now, tomorrow is the dragon boat competition, how can I have time to pay attention to these people." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The dragon boat competition is a big event, and Li Xiao wants to show the saint whether he can afford the huge event of a thousand villages with the power of one government.

If all goes well, the dormitory will be thoroughly promoted, and the promotion of the dormitory will open up the last mile that the dynasty cannot reach.

Not only the saints are concerned, but even those officials of the imperial court are waiting to see.

"Brother-in-law, then you have to be careful, on the day of the dragon boat competition, the Confucian students will have a big move." Zhu Gaosui reminded: "I don't think they will give up. ”

Li Xiao frowned slightly: "Gao Sui, what you reminded is." ”

At this time, You Jin, the prefect of Beiping Prefecture, came.

This prefect took over Li Xiao's position a few years ago.

He came out of the school founded by Li Xiao, passed the provincial examination, and then started from the dormitory, and was very capable and was promoted to the position of the prefect by Li Xiao all the way.

Li Xiao has the appointment and dismissal of all officials in Beiping Mansion, and the entire Beiping Mansion is under his control.

"See Guogong." The prefect of Beiping is in the golden hand.

"You Jin, you're here just in time."

Li Xiao waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and the maid immediately stepped forward to pour tea.

Li Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow's Dabi, you have to pay attention, especially those Confucian students wearing Confucian shirts, these people may cause trouble." ”

"Confucianism?" You Jin nodded and said: "These Confucian scholars have been made silent by the movies released by the Guogong recently, but . . . It is indeed not to be taken lightly, and the lower officials have already sent additional personnel to patrol. ”

Li Xiao nodded.

Zhu Gaosui suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother-in-law, according to my observation, my brother, these people are a bit of a backbone, do you think they will . Jumping into the river on that day, to die Mingzhi? ”

"Death is a clear will."

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right. Gao Sui, you reminded me well, I almost didn't expect this, it's very likely! ”

After speaking, he looked at You Jin and said: "You Jin, quickly go to the villages and then transfer all the militia teams, put on life jackets, prepare lifeboats, and be ready to rescue people who have fallen into the water at any time. ”

You Jin got up and arched his hand: "Lord Guogong has foresight, and the next official will do it immediately." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaosui was surprised: "It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dragon boat race is about to start early tomorrow morning. Do you want me to send the brocade guard to help? ”

"Not really."

Li Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "Let's see tomorrow." ”
