Chapter 114: Absolutely
readx;
Old Hanlin saw Xu Xian turn the shadow wall and walk out of this courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info turned his gaze to the locust flowers full of trees, and sighed softly: "The king will be in the history books, along with those quatrains for the ages, but I don't know if it is in the biography or the family?"
"Let the old man write this first stroke for you today!" Old Hanlin retracted his gaze and fell on the white paper in front of him, which was already half full. Among them, there may be "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." The sentence recorded some of Xu Xian's words and deeds, and added to the pen: "Approachable." "I still want to write something, but I don't write it.
Although his feelings for Xu Xian are far more than that, historians cannot mix personal views in their writings, and even if they want to express their own views, they often use the mouths of others to write about how the world or a celebrity evaluates Xu Xian. Even if you can't help but learn from Sima Qian, you must be concise and cautious.
The old man smiled leisurely, in the future, Xu Xian will also be on an errand in this Hanlin Academy, naturally he can't get off his palm, he must observe carefully, record in detail, maybe one day he can follow this kid to leave a name for eternity. As a result, the dream came true, and his records provided a wealth of historical materials for future generations to study the great poet Xu Xian.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the first day climbed little by little, and in front of Wenyuan Hall, one by one the jinshi were assessed and entered Wenyuan Hall. Although the questions are strange and the subset of classics and histories is all-encompassing, the Jinshi are not easy people, and most of them can answer them. Even if there were embarrassing words and couldn't answer, the scholars only encouraged and urged a few words, and then put them in the hall, which was not as strict as they imagined, which made the scholars breathe a sigh of relief.
It is also said that the positions of the scholars are nominally appointed by the emperor, and the scholars naturally cannot but accept them, even if they are not talented and learned, they will be divided into A, B, C, and D in the evaluation.
But the atmosphere in the field was still very solemn, and the faces of the Hanlin people did not relax at all, but became more and more serious, and they kept their eyes on the door from time to time.
Those who can get here are not stupid people, but they are all young and vigorous people. Even if I didn't find out at first, now I realize who the Hanlin really is targeting.
Lowering his voice and starting some discussions, a young jinshi chuckled and said to the jinshi next to him: "It turns out that we are on fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish." ”
The man next to him responded: "Yes, why did I suddenly make this scene, I don't know what these adults will use to test that Xu Xian, it won't be poetry, right?"
The young Jinshi raised his eyebrows, "Poetry?" looked left and right, lowered his voice and said in the ear of his companion: "Be dead! I don't know if I have a little brain, and I don't want to see what Xu Xian does." ”
"Well, well, let's see! Let's see if it's 'Xu Xian swept the Hanlin Academy' or 'Xu Xian was taught by the Hanlin Academy'. ”
At this time, two figures appeared outside the door, it was Xu Xian and Pan Yu. Seeing the main lord appear, all the Jinshi who watched the excitement straightened their heads, and the Hanlin people were even more dazzling.
Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh, he stayed up all night and was in such good spirits! Only the scholar didn't make a sound, and he didn't even look at Xu Xian, until he finished asking the other scholars, Xu Xian stepped forward logically, "Student Xu Xian, I have seen all the adults, I just saw a scene in the Hanlin Courtyard on the road, and I remembered something, but I couldn't understand it, it was too late, and I ask you to forgive me." When he looked up, he saw that the scholar's hair was sparse and gray, and his face was full of wrinkles, and he was very old, and he was afraid that he would not be fifty or sixty years old.
The scholar looked at Xu Xian and said in an old and hoarse voice, "You are Xu Xian!" and asked casually, "I don't know what you saw, so you were late!"
Xu Xian smiled and said: "The students saw that there was a small pond in the Hanlin Academy, and there were some willow locust trees planted on the side of the pond. At that time, the red was born, and the morning mist did not disperse, lingering in the meantime, and it was very elegant. In this Hanlin Courtyard, there is really a different world. ”
When everyone saw Xu Xian's self-introduced scenery, they thought they were looking for a reason for being late, but they felt that this reason was really not good!
The young jinshi sneered: "It's not too late to make a sycophant, is it?
The companion beside him sighed: "People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, do you say that these people are easy to offend?
Chengzang Jian was silent, seeing that Pan Yu did not return to the hall, but stood not far from Xu Xian, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking at Xu Xian who was talking eloquently, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. A thought suddenly rose in his heart, "It would be nice if these Hanlin made Xu Xian ugly." He was also taken aback by his own thoughts, how could he have such a dark thought, where did all the kung fu of cultivating his surname go!
The doctor of the Five Classics, who led the way, said: "That's all, the dignified Xu Tanhua, from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is used to seeing the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, will he be fascinated by this small scenery?"
Xu Xian smiled: "Each has its own fun!"
The scholar heard the sound and asked, "Then when you see this scene, what comes to mind that makes you puzzled?"
Xu Xian said: "The student thought of a couplet, but only thought of the upper couplet, no matter how the student racked his brains, he couldn't think of the next couplet, did it become absolute?"
Doctor Wujing said: "Oh, can't even Tanhualang think of it? That must be difficult, you might as well say it and listen to it, here are all people who are full of wealth, maybe I can help you learn a little bit about it." "Xindao: Okay, you Xu Xian, you actually made a "preemptive" plan, it must be that the adult in the library leaked the news. But you are making a fool of yourself, and you have an axe, haven't you heard that "there are no absolutes in the world"? As long as we match you, we will immediately kill your limelight.
"There is no absolute" is what a great genius said in the previous dynasty, which means that there is no couplet in the world that cannot be opposed, and this truth has been proved for thousands of years. Even if one or two pairs are occasionally taken as absolute, they will immediately be cracked by knowledgeable and talented people. Each of the so-called "seven absolutes" found by the Hanlin people also has an answer, otherwise Xu Xian can't answer that he wants to ask them, and they can't answer either, wouldn't it be a big ugly.
At this time, the hearts of all the Hanlin and Jinshi were warmed, and now the "No. 1 talent in the world" admits that he is incompetent, so no matter who can come up, wouldn't it prove that he is better than the "No. 1 talent in the world", such a temptation is really not small, literati and ink writers, there may be bad profits, but there is no bad name.
And for these people, couplets are like eating and drinking, no one will think that they will be wrong, and now they are just waiting for Xu Xian to come out right.
Only Pan Yu was a little worried, and on the way, Xu Xian didn't tell her that he had thought of any way. Now it seems that this method is not very good, even if he comes up with a difficult pair, these people can't come up for a while, and when they come to spread all over the world, there will always be people who will come up, and it will inevitably damage some statements.
Pan Yuxin said: "No, let me come out, if someone here can come out, I will see the opportunity to say it in advance, if no one can come out, go back and let Hanwen bring the pair back immediately." ”
Cheng Zangjian was keenly aware of the hidden worries between his eyebrows, and immediately made a plan in his heart, let himself come out of this pair!
Hanlin, Jinshi, and even Chengzang Sword, Pan Yu all concentrated, under their forced gaze, Xu Xian only felt as if he had entered a wolf's den, he was really hungry and surrounded by wolves, and his heart was startled, even the bachelor who had always been very calm showed an interested expression, and he didn't think that a small pair would be involved in the title of "the first in the world".
Xu Xian coughed lightly into his fist, and said loudly: "Is there water?"
Everyone was overwhelmed, and several Jinshi who were highly mentally focused almost fell to the ground. Pan Yu glanced at him, but a smile appeared on his face.
Xu Xian touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Just kidding!"
The Doctor of the Five Classics urged, "Say it quickly!"
Xu Xian said: "Then this time it's really here! I saw that scenery by the pond, and suddenly came up with a couplet, called Smoke Lock Pond Willow. ”
As soon as Xu Xian's words fell, many voices immediately sounded in the crowd, "Fog surrounds the mountain pine!" "Cloud seals the sky and the moon!", etc., and there were more than a dozen pairs of downlinks in a short time. This kind of posture of responding to every call made Xu Xian sigh his charm slightly.
Pan Yu, Chengzang Sword, scholars, and some more calm Hanlin all showed thoughtful looks.
Dr. Wujing's head was slow, and he didn't catch up with the opportunity, and it was too late to be right at this time, so he said disdainfully: "Xu Tanhua, this is too simple......" but suddenly woke up, among these five words, they contain "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth", with the five elements as the side, none of these blurted out couplets are correct.
And those who were on the right pair were reminded by the people around them, and they immediately understood, their faces turned red, and they intensified their thoughts.
At this time, only Xu Xian didn't want to have any couplets, observing the expression on his face, he knew that this widow was recognized as the closest answer - Paozhen Haicheng Tower. But even this couplet, not only is it too different in artistic conception, but it is also much worse in terms of rhyme, which can only be regarded as far-fetched, not to mention other couplets.
In China's thousands of years of feudal era, it can really be called less than a hand. But the other widow pairs, either lack of artistic conception, or only work in the organs, can really be recognized by the literati and ink writers, in fact, only this "smoke lock pond willow", its sentence artistic conception is beautiful, natural, want to come up with the same level of couplets, almost extravagant.
Absolutely, the only pair.
Xu Xian sacrificed this couplet, it is really the king of ten thousand pairs, and the gods and Buddhas are easy. smiled in my heart: I can be regarded as "right to pierce the intestines"!
