Chapter 38 Poetry
"If Yang Ziqian hadn't gone to Qingzhou, this job could have pushed him. Zhang Shen said:
"Of the few of us, he's the best at it. ”
The mountain breeze blew into the room, and Chen Tai's long beard fluttered, and he said with a smile: "Brother Jinyan is more suitable for being an official in the court than me." ”
"Old horseman, are you mocking me for kicking ball?" Zhang Shen was not angry, and had a single attitude: "You can do it, the old man listens." ”
Seeing that there was another quarrel, Zhang Shen's scholar lowered his head and hurried in, bowed down and said, "Sir, your student has come to say goodbye." ”
What is he doing here, the sage's quotations have been copied three hundred times? Zhang Shen nodded: "Please let him in." ”
After the scholar left, Zhang Shen glanced at Chen Tai on the opposite side of the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the old man has recently accepted a new student, who is the cousin of this old one, and his poetry is shocking. ”
Li Mubai immediately added: "That's also my student." ”
Chen Tai glanced at the surname Zhang, and then at the surname Li, and his heart moved: "The poet who "has no clue about the road ahead, and who in the world does not know you"?"
Li Mubai and Zhang Shen smiled proudly.
"Hahaha...."Chen Tai laughed out loud, pointing at his two friends.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you being blinded by fame and fortune, oh, and jealousy. Chen Tai suppressed his smile, half admonishing and half mocking:
"Yang Ziqian's name must be passed down to future generations because of this poem, which is indeed enviable. But you two don't want to think about it, good sentences are rare, how many readers only have a few good poems in their lives, and there are no ones that can go down in history. ”
"Out of the sentence "Mo Chou has no knowers in the future, who in the world does not know you" is already a stroke of genius, I am happy to hear it, and I hope to come up with another song, no, two songs, so that the two of you will be famous together for eternity?"
"If you care too much about fame and fortune, over time, how can the righteousness in your stomach survive?"
After a ridicule, Li Mubai and Zhang Shen were a little embarrassed.
I know in my heart that what Chen Tai said is reasonable, and the good sentences that have been passed down through the ages can be made casually, and the other party is not a reader, and it is a great fate to get a song by chance.
It is indeed too delusional to expect a Xu official to publish good poems and make them famous in history.
What Youping said is very true. The two of them shook each other and said in a deep voice: "The three immortals of the scholars, even if they want to go down in history, they should take the avenue in a dignified manner, not a shortcut, but the two of us have deviated." ”
"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can do good. Chen Tai bowed slightly.
A moment later, the scholar led Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian into the elegant room.
The two of them said at the same time: "The student has seen the teacher. ”
Li Mubai and Zhang Shen glanced at each other, both surprised and delighted by Xu Qi'an's arrival.
"Sit down!" Zhang Shen said.
"Ning Yan, you came to the academy because you have a good sentence to appreciate as a teacher?" Li Mubai said tentatively.
Xu Qi'an shook his head and said, "The students are here to ask for something. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Xu Qi'an told the two teachers about his intentions, concealing his idea of revenge on the household servant, and only said that the mastermind behind the tax and silver case was very likely to be Zhou Shilang, and if the other party was subjected to Jingcha, he would definitely retaliate against Xu's house.
"This...."Li Mubai glanced at Zhang Shen, who was also embarrassed, and said helplessly: "The academy prohibits outsiders from staying overnight, this is the rule. ”
Scholars pay the most attention to the rules.
As soon as Xu Qi'an asked, he heard Xu Xinnian say: "The eldest princess doesn't always live in the academy. ”
Zhang Shen shook his head: "What kind of identity is the eldest princess." ”
Xu Xinnian nodded: "The academy prohibits outsiders from staying overnight, unless they are relatives of the emperor." ”
Hey, the stunned young man still can't speak.
The three great scholars present laughed angrily.
Xu Qi'an almost laughed out loud, Erlang's poisonous tongue was still so sharp.
Li Mubai shook his head, "Brother Jinyan, you student, I am a little looking forward to him stepping into the realm of destiny in the future." ”
That's horrible..... The corners of Zhang Shen's mouth twitched.
Only Chen Tai looked at Xu Qi'an with a smile, and at this time, he interjected and said, "Are you Xu Ningyan?"
"Exactly the students. Xu Qi'an, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and pretending to be a scholar, was a scholar.
"I heard that there are quite poets, so it's better to do this, if you can make a poem on the spot that satisfies the three of us, the old man will make the decision, let the ladies of the Xu Mansion temporarily live in the academy, and ensure that they are well-thought. ”
Allowing the daughters of the Xu family to keep the academy is not the point, the point is his last sentence, to ensure that they are thorough.
This is the purpose of Xu Qi'an brothers.
Xu Xinnian's face was slightly happy, and he turned his head to look at his cousin: "Big brother...."
He was both happy and apprehensive, it is not difficult to compose poems, every reader can make neat poems, and the difficult thing is to satisfy the three great Confucians.
Is it hard?
It's too hard.
Writing poems? Are you forcing me to prostitute you for nothing? Xu Qi'an did not immediately agree, but said after deliberation:
"Writing poetry spontaneously is still a fixed theme. ”
The three Confucians exchanged glances with each other, and Zhang Shen said, "Persuade to learn!"
Sure enough, it is impossible to compose poems spontaneously, otherwise, I will come up with a swan song for the ages in minutes.... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, because this question was not beyond the outline, and his little literary background could still cope with it.
The word persuasion, the first thing that made Xu Qi'an think of it was "Persuasion" that he read in high school, but since it is a poem, this ancient text is not applicable.
There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book!
In Xu Qi'an's mind, this persuasion poem that has been passed down from generation to generation immediately came to mind.
In the field related to persuasion, there are not many people who can compare with it in terms of popularity.
He just wanted to decide to use this poem to prostitute the three great Confucians, and suddenly thought of the situation of Yunlu Academy in the past two hundred years.
"If this poem is not mistaken, it seems to have been written by the emperor of the Song Dynasty? It is mixed with the taste of fame and fortune, and the students who graduated from Yunlu Academy have always had a difficult career. ”
"I sighed when I was lifting people in the old exam, I didn't know that I would be sent to that poor country in the future...."
"I copied this poem, didn't I poke the heart of Yunlu Academy, it backfired...."
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xu Xinnian's brows became more and more furrowed, the three great Confucians, Zhang Shen and Li Mubai had been looking forward to it, and Chen Tai was smiling and drinking tea.
Xu Qi'an retracted his thoughts and arched his hand: "The student is ugly, say goodbye, and polish the ink for me." ”
Xu Xinnian found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, put it on the table, sharpened the ink for his cousin with his own hands, held the pen in one hand, rolled up his sleeve in the other, dipped the tip of the pen in the ink, and turned his head to signal his cousin to take the pen.
There's no shame in my sparse calligraphy.... No, I don't know calligraphy at all..... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and on the surface, he put on the posture of a reader pointing out the passionate words of the country, and said:
"Say goodbye and ghostwrite for me. ”
Xu Xinnian nodded and sat in front of the desk.
"Three watches, five watches, five watches. ”
"It's when the boy is studying. ”
"The brunette doesn't know how to study early. ”
"Bai Shoufang regrets studying late!"
After Xu Xinnian finished writing, he put down his pen and stared at the handwritten seven words on the rice paper, his eyes were shining brightly, and his face was slightly excited.
There was a brief silence in the house, Xu Xinnian experienced the afterglow of this poem, and the three great Confucians walked quickly to the shore and stared at the rice paper in silence.
Silent staring.
