Chapter 104: The Prodigy (I)
Zhang Jinzhao has been married for more than ten years, but his wife has never been able to get pregnant.
In the countryside, men regard the inheritance of the family as their responsibility, and they all pay attention to "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest".
As a man, it is very humiliating to not be able to glorify his ancestors and continue to smoke cigarettes.
He personally painted a statue of Guanyin to worship at home, and also invited a copy of "Guanyin Bodhisattva Pumen Pin".
The couple knelt down every day, read the scriptures devoutly, and pinned Pan'er's urgent hopes on Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Don't say it, I don't know if Guanyin Bodhisattva has compassion or his star is shining.
Soon, his wife's belly gradually bulged, and he felt that a fetus was kicking her belly from time to time.
From then on, the couple burned incense and prayed every day to thank God.
The days passed like water, and he looked forward to it, counting the days when he should be a father.
But Wang Shaoxiang was ten months pregnant, and there was no sign of childbirth, which made Zhang Jinzhao, who had always been full of hope, very anxious, and hurriedly invited Aunt Zhang, the midwife in the neighboring village.
After Aunt Zhang checked Wang Shaoxiang, her eyebrows, which had been locked, never let go, and said to him: "I have been a midwife for 20 years, but I have never seen such a pregnant baby. ”
He looked at Aunt Zhang sadly and asked, "Then, what should I do?"
Aunt Zhang comforted and said, "The fetus that your mother is pregnant with is really strange, maybe your son will be a sage in the future." ”
He smiled wryly and spread his hands: "This ......"
……
"Husband, what are you thinking?" Wang Shaoxiang saw him staying there in a daze, and reminded, "Fei'er finished reading the book." ”
Zhang Jinzhao stroked the short beard of his chin with his left hand, and looked at Xiao Shaofei in front of him with his eyes stunned, and couldn't help but think a lot:
For these ancient poems, at the beginning, I had to read them dozens of times before I could memorize one poem, but this little Shaofei had no teacher and could memorize it so well after reading it once.
Ah, Taizhen Village, how ordinary the scenery is;
Rivers, how ordinary;
The many beings who come and go are so ordinary.
However, the little Shaofei in front of him was a genius, a genius of the world, a craze hit Zhang Jinzhao's heart, and a dark perception grabbed him tightly.
After Zhang Jinzhao pondered for a long time, he looked at the little boy in front of him, and his eyes showed the light of hope.
……
"Everything is inferior, only reading is high", this sentence from Wang Zhu's "Prodigy Poem" is regarded as an enlightenment reading by Zhang Jinzhao.
The child likes to read, which naturally makes him overjoyed.
Zhang Jinzhao thought to himself: Although his son has a super memory, he can't do it without a solid writing foundation.
So, Zhang Jinzhao turned out the books left by his father and taught Xiao Shaofei seriously.
He wants his son to win at the starting line.
This little Shaofei is extremely smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns, he can remember it when he listens to it, and he has finished learning those books in less than a month.
When Xiao Shaofei was 4 years old, Zhang Jinzhao taught him to make words and sentences, write and practice, and temper words, words, and sentences.
Knowledge is bypassed, and in this way, Xiao Shaofei learned how to write articles and wrote good articles. And it can touch the scene and make the export chapter.
That afternoon, Zhang Jinzhao saw several village children bathing in the river by the river, and suddenly, a boat beating gongs and drums came from the river in the distance.
Zhang Jinzhao looked at it and saw that it was a "learning boat" carrying candidates from various villages who had taken the county examination back to their hometowns.
At that time, the village boys who were bathing in the river saw this very magnificent ship sailing violently, and they fled ashore in fright.
Among them, his son Zhang Shaofei, with his hands on his waist, stood in the center of the river without moving.
The boatman stopped when he saw that a child was so bold as to stop the boat.
Seeing that the boat had stopped, the candidates inside came out of the cabin and shouted, "Child, get out of the way!" ”
Xiao Shaofei glanced at him and ignored him.
Another candidate said, "Why are you holding us back?" ”
Xiao Shaofei said: "I'll be here first, you will arrive later, if you want me to give way, you have to ask me if I agree first." ”
The candidate then said, "Okay, let me ask you, let's make a bet, I'll make a link, you will make a link, if you get it, our boat will give you three points, if you can't get it, you just get out of the way!" ”
Xiao Shaofei grinned.
"A thousand-year-old tree is a learning ship."
One candidate quickly came up with the upper link.
Xiao Shaofei looked at the surging river and replied casually:
"Thousands of miles of rivers are used as bathtubs."
When all the candidates heard it, they all thought that it was really seamless, and it was indeed an excellent pair.
Helplessly, this "learning boat" full of candidates had no choice but to stop fighting, bypass Xiao Shaofei's side, and slowly hold on to the shallows on the side of the river.
People can no longer hear the sound of gongs and drums on the "learning boat".
Zhang Jinzhao witnessed this scene, and he couldn't help but be really amazed.
……
In the middle of summer, there was a promising Xiucai surnamed Tu who came to Taizhenwei and lived at his relative's house.
Tu Youwei went in and out of the streets and alleys of Taizhenwei, thinking that he was a big talent, dancing and writing everywhere, often reading and writing mistakes, and making jokes.
Midsummer is the ripening and harvesting season of fruits in Taizhen.
Ding Xiucai saw that the fruits in Taizhen were particularly sweet and attractive, so he went to the market and bought two boxes of fruits to send back to Gaoyao's hometown. One of the boxes is sweet orange and the other is loquat.
Ding Xiucai wrote the mailing address and the recipient's name on the cardboard box.
However, he misspelled the word "orange" for "stool" and misspelled the word "loquat" for "papa".
It just so happened that Xiao Shaofei and Fat Boy Dong went to play in the polder, and they were very funny to see.
Ding Xiucai asked Xiao Shaofei: "Child, why are you laughing here?" ”
Xiao Shaofei said: "I made a mistake when I laughed at Daxiu. ”
When Ding Xiucai heard this, he was furious on the spot.
"Nonsense! I only wrote in a dignified way, can I use you little boy to teach me?! He raised his hand as he spoke, "Let's go!"
Xiao Shaofei smiled slightly, took Fat Zidong's hand and left.
After walking a street, Fat Boy Dong had a whim, close to Xiao Shaofei's ear, and told his whimsy.
After hearing this, Xiao Shaofei smiled and said, "Okay! Trick this big showman. ”
Early the next morning, Tu Youwei posted two poems on the door of his relative's house:
One
Sure enough, it's a big show,
The orange "stool" knows that the words are different.
If the orange does not have a pair of feet,
How can Taizhen get to Gaoyao?
Second
The loquat is not this lute,
It's only the show that he is ill-literate.
If the lute can bear fruit,
Taizhen strings are in full bloom.
Ding Xiucai was very embarrassed to see it, and he no longer dared to show off in Taizhenwei, so he left his relative's house early.
……
At the beginning of the new year, Qiu County transferred a new county magistrate Liu Yifan, who is also good at reciting poems on weekdays, and heard that Zhang Shaofei is not only quick-witted, but also known as a "prodigy", and has long had the intention of meeting.
His entourage once knew Liu Yifan's taste well, and sometimes he couldn't help but be elegant, and accompanied him to chant a few lines of limerick poems that seemed to be incomprehensible, and made one or two crooked couplets.
On this day, Zeng Youwen followed Liu Yifan to travel in Weifu and came to the ground of Taizhen Village to inspect the people's conditions and browse the field scenery.
Along the way, Liu Yifan pointed and pointed, interested in the scene, that is, the poem, Zeng Youwen nodded and praised non-stop......
Unconsciously, as the day passed, they passed by a wonton shop, and Liu Yifan felt a little hungry, so he entered the wonton shop to eat a bowl of wonton to satisfy his hunger.
Of course, Zeng Youwen also accompanied the food.
The wonton was not cooked, and Wen Cheng was afraid that Liu Yifan would be bored while sitting, so he proposed to chant poetry against it.
Liu Yifan slapped his thigh and said, "Good proposal!" ”
Then, he looked at Zeng Youwen and said, "I will come out first, and according to the regulations, everyone must fit their own identity in the joint language to be qualified, and the loser will be punished according to the old rules." ”
As soon as Liu Yifan's words fell, he saw a boy passing by the wonton shop with a cart in his hand.
Zeng Youwen thought to himself: I must be higher than this kid's level, and I will definitely not lose to him.
So he called the boy in and asked him to spank him instead of himself.
Who knew that this child was none other than Xiao Shaofei.
After Xiao Shaofei came in, Zeng Youwen explained it to him.
Xiao Shaofei nodded in understanding.
Liu Yifan thought for a little and chanted out the couplet:
Words are sold for reading, one or three deer deer deer deer deer feast, and it is still diligent to read
Liu Yifan's first sentence of this couplet, "Words are sold for reading", is a split grid, and the second sentence
The magic (bold) "three deer" is a stacked grid, and the first word "deer" and the last one in the third sentence
The word "read" rhymes quite backwards, which is really difficult to correct.
When Zeng Youwen heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, where could he find it, so he said to the child: "Child, you should be right." ”
Xiao Shaofei smiled slightly and said, "Then I'm embarrassed to trespass." After that, he said the following couplet:
Yu Dou was responsible for Zhong Yi for three years, and the car was slanted at dusk and sunset
When Liu Yifan heard this, he couldn't help but applaud: "That's right!"
The word "oblique" is disassembled for the remainder, the word "bucket" is two, the word "boom" is stacked by three cars, and the last sentence is "the car is oblique to the sunset at dusk", the scene is blended, and it is full of literary brilliance.
Now only Zeng Youwen was left scratching his ears and cheeks there, fidgeting, and being urged by Liu Yifan several times, he was even more anxious to sweat coldly.
Xiao Shaofei sneered and said, "Maybe Teacher Zeng didn't think well today, why don't I make up a pair for you?"
Liu Yifan was about to appreciate Zhang Shaofei's impatience, but Zeng Youwen had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Zhang Shaofei cleared his throat and groaned a pair:
The cave is bent into the court, a product for three days, day and night, and the hole should be hit
Locally, the butt is called a "shit hole".
After Zhang Shaofei finished reading, Zeng Youwen was so embarrassed that he couldn't help laughing, and with a "poof", he squirted out the two wontons he had just eaten from his mouth.
After Liu Yifan invited Xiao Shaofei to eat a bowl of wonton, he left the wonton shop and went back.
......
The annual Dragon Boat Festival is here again, and Shuidong Village holds dragon boat races and sets up tents to make a big show, which is very lively.
Zhang Shaofei also followed the people in the village to Shuidong Village to see the excitement.
Who knew that the villagers there had heard of Zhang Shaofei's name, received him warmly, and treated him as a guest.
Zhang Shaofei went to Shuidong Village, during the day, after watching the dragon race to win the championship, dinner, Shuidong Village had a large banquet, and a group of villagers attended the banquet, hoping to have the opportunity to see Zhang Shaofei.
During the dinner, everyone talked about it. Suddenly, a man of good deeds stood up.
