Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 100 Old Man He Shows a Strange Oddity in the Thorn Quarter
I don't know what's going on in the world, there are even more mistakes in the errands, but the Zhuju of the young master got into the inner curtain, and the other seventeen rooms were never divided, but it just happened to be allocated to this Mr. Lou.It happened that he was over dinner that day, drunk and satiated, a little stupefied, and his attendants also went to get convenience for themselves.He lit a lamp, warmed a pot of tea, and quietly graded the papers by himself.May I ask that he waits for a person who would rather be engraved than lenient, and when he reads the text, is there any reason why he would not prefer to leave it alone?After reading a few books at the moment, I feel that there is little permission, so I clicked a few blue dots and threw them aside.Then I took another copy, looked at it, and found that "Chengzi No. [-]" was the banner roll.Seeing that the three articles were written grandly and magnificently, it was really "the sound of the jade pan, and the golden bells are all round".Although it didn't fit his style, Nevin had a definite comment. He knew he couldn't put it down after seeing it, and he didn't add any points.Then stick a comment.I just wanted to print the recommendation letter, add circles, and recommend it to the hall, and suddenly thought about it: "No. Since the chief examiner is the one who explained first, and this paper is the standard paper, I know he is a very big one. The son of the family? If you recommend it, the two old gentlemen think that I intend to accept this rich student, so what is my fault?" Then they took off the batch of language notes and burned them on the lamp.Randomly clicked on a few blue ideas on the paper, and threw them aside.He took another copy and put it in front of him to read.

As I was watching, I could only hear a gust of wind blowing outside the window, rustling the paper on the window lattice, and making the flaming light of the lamp fluctuate.He felt shivering for a while, and yawned twice in a row. He became sleepy for a while, unable to hold it back, so he fell asleep on the paper under his hand.Just closing my eyes, in a trance, I suddenly saw a pale old man coming in from the place where the curtain was moving.The old man had a childlike face and white hair, and a fairy bone. He dragged a cane over his head in his hand, and bowed deeply to him before entering the door.He was surprised when he saw the man coming in his dream, and he didn't return the gift, so he asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to my guarded place for no reason?" The old man replied kindly, "Exactly, I 'Where' who?" Because he designated the crutch for the paper he threw away just now, he said, "I'm here especially for this 'Chengzi No. [-]' paper, and I'm among them." When he heard this, he felt that it was a matter of favor, so he looked angry and said, "Why did I ask who you are, and you also know who you are? Besides, I was ordered to weigh the text here, not here. People. Among these people, who is in charge of Wen Heng? If I don't win him, what can I do? I want you to do this business!" Then I heard the old man say: "Lang Guan, don't be so persistent." Mr. Knowledge', if people are not good enough, how can there be writing? What's more, this person's name is already on the list of heaven, so what if you don't hit him?" He didn't believe this, so he said: "Talk more! I, Lou, have come here to break sensibilities and not be entrusted, so you don't know? Don't you alone have heard it?" The old man sighed and said: "I don't want this person to be so ignorant and unreasonable. This matter will take a lot of trouble!"

He heard these two words of remark to him face to face, and then stood up and ran to the old man.I didn't want to get up, so I fell down and got up, the old man was long gone, but I was still sitting on the seat.Looking at the lamp again, it was lit for an inch or so long, forming two ghost-like lanterns, trembling towards him, and he realized that what he had experienced just now was a dream.After staying for a moment, he said: "But what I saw in my dream is a ghost, not a human being. It can be seen that the ghost of my arrogance is also scared away. Don't pay attention to him, and be serious!" Saying, cut the lantern flower , Still waiting to review the paper under his hand.When you look at it, it's really weird!That volume was thrown aside, and the volume of "Chengzi No. [-]" was still placed under his hands.

While he was wondering, there was another gust of wind outside the window.This is not good, it is not a dream!Hearing that the gust of wind passed by, the curtain on the door was blown in, then flashed out again, and lifted high.With just one lift, an officer with a golden crown and red robe clearly entered from outside the door.Seeing that the officer was not in an ordinary attire, he was a little panicked if he didn't know the "awe-inspiring aura". He quickly stood up and avoided the side, and asked, "Where does the god come from? What advice do you have?" He only listened to the divine way : "Since you know 'where' my god is coming from, why can't you realize the purpose of my god's coming? It's also for the sake of 'Chengzi No. [-]'."

Lie Gong, you just look at whether this Lou Gong is muddled or not!He saw that the divine way seemed to come here to ask for favors from him, even though the divine way was worth mentioning, he dared to cooperate with him to make that bull-like temperament.However, he never thought that "the way of kingship is based on human feelings, and human feelings are based on the principles of nature"; sincerity is not forgiving of the law for selfishness, the original Wang Zhang did not forgive;Blindly selling fame is no longer love for fame; doing things with heart will definitely not help.Resentment for no reason will eventually lead to resentment; if suffering does not advance to love, it will surely turn into disobedience.There are such stubborn and hypocritical people in this world. Whenever they succeed in something, they are willing to mediate and work with others when they get something done, and they are willing to cultivate it if no one praises them.But when he mentioned a word to him, he said that he was asking for favors, and this matter and that person were considered to be over.If this group of characters wants him to participate in politics and govern the country, they are afraid that they will exploit the vitality of the world!
Gossip less.But when he said that Lord Lou Zhengjian and the Shinto theory also came for that paper, he immediately turned his eyes and said, "What does this matter have to do with Shinto? Come and get involved! It has always been said that 'smart and upright' "God" means that God is smart, and I, Lou, don't understand it; that God is upright, and my kind is not biased. It is Shinto..." Before I finished a sentence, I heard the Shinto shouted: " Oh! Shut up!" His next sentence was about to say: "Even if Shinto said this kind of favor, I won't agree." With a drink in his pocket, he said: "Madman! Seeing that you read the books of sages and sages, you have misjudged the authority. Although your temperament is too rigid in your daily life, your mind is not far from the righteousness. That's why the old man is willing to teach the principle of the response of heaven and man." You, how did you study to change your temperament, and you have turned into this kind of temperament! Aren’t you ignorant of teaching?” After speaking, his voice was sharp, and his eyes were shining brightly, and they looked directly at his face.He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and said tremblingly: "God, forgive me for my ignorance, save some dignity, and wait for Lou Yang to recommend this paper to the court as soon as possible, so as to redeem the past, how about it?" Can't stop knocking.That Shendao was a bit Yan Ji, and said: "Since I know repentance, I don't need to ask deeply." He only thought that the Shendao would leave after saying this sentence, but he didn't want the Shendao to turn in instead of going out.He got up and looked back, only to see that the old man in the dream just came in at some time, and was sitting there upright early.I also saw that Shinto walk up to the old man, bowed his back, and said something for some reason.The old man gave a dry laugh, and said: "I don't want such a favor that goes with the flow, I have to wait for you who wear gauze hats to say it!" Then he stood up leaning on his staff, and the Shinto followed behind him, still Support him and go out together.Immediately afterwards, I heard the door open and close rattling in the wind, and Lou Zhuzheng was so frightened that his bones became weak and he couldn't move for a long time.After a long, long time, when there was no more sound, he hung on the curtain and looked out. The door was still fully hidden there, but his servant fell asleep on a bench like a dead dog.

He regained his composure before waking up the people, lighting up the lamp, re-circling Mr. An's paper, re-adding comments, and typing out a recommendation note.After listening, the bells and drums upstairs have not yet been handed in for the third watch.When he found out where the supervisor in the hall was reviewing the papers, he straightened his clothes, took the paper, and recommended it to the hall.The chief examiner took it over, and instead of looking at the article, he looked at the Hanjun flag roll first, and said, "There's no need to talk about this roll, the Hanjun roll has already been taken to the full." , where Keny?He tried again and again, but refused to go down.After grinding the three chief examiners to the point of failure, the chief examiner Fang Gong said: "In this case, this book can only be regarded as a preparation paper." Then, he picked up a pen and wrote the word "Preparation" on the paper.

Lie Gong, what do you mean by "preparing papers"?I didn’t understand the storyteller at first, but later I heard that a group of lecturers on the examination of the first class, he said that in case of an examination in the examination room, you must take a few more papers for the preparation, one for the preparation. In the selected paper, before the announcement of the list, I suddenly saw something irregular and it was inconvenient to take it, so I chose one of the prepared papers to fill in the middle; second, let these scholars read it and know that there is a certain number. It is also intended to encourage talents; thirdly, it is also to plant a few "false flowers and peaches and plums" outside the door for the house officials.There is another analogy by the predecessors who prepared the paper, which is the most ridiculous comparison.Do you know what kind of metaphor he uses?He compared the house official's recommendation paper to "getting a fetus", the main examiner's taking the middle school to "Nongzhang", winning the sub-list to "Nongwa", and keeping it as a backup paper and still failing in the end, he compared it to a "half". Produce".What he said was that he failed in the same class, and he had to prepare a copy to send Zhijian to the teacher who recommended the paper, and then he conceived with that child, and he was happy for a few days, but it still disappeared, and he had to sit on the bed and drink millet. Porridge, eating eggs, is a general taste.If there is someone who refuses to visit the teacher who recommended the paper, everyone will say that he has forgotten his duty.Why don't you think about it, the master's strength can only go so far, and he can also be a husband for someone, and his strength can only go there.You are an outsider, and you are not ranked, so you don’t think about the teacher’s deliberate training; do you become a young woman in the boudoir, and you don’t think about the husband’s unintentional marriage?Although these metaphors are bordering on cruelty, those who know the joys and sorrows involved cannot tell.But now Mr. An is already a half-baby!It's a pity that his family is still there, day and night looking forward to getting out of high school!This is what the saying goes, "No one in the world knew earlier."

Don't bother talking.That is to say, this year's ranking is scheduled to be on the tenth day of September.Two days ago, the main examiners and supervisors of the inner and outer curtains discussed through the curtain, because there were more scholars taking the undergraduate examination than in previous years, and naturally there were more marks than in previous years.Therefore, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the first door of the Gongyuan was sealed, and the inner and outer curtains were withdrawn.In advance, in the middle of the Zhigong Hall, there are three examiners' koans, and two supervisors on the left and right. On the east and west sides, there are seats for the inner and outer supervisors combined with eighteen rooms, and another table is set up for demolition. After the seal, mark the lottery, and fill in the list according to the lottery.There is a Zhangxu long table for filling in the list, and countless ink roll boxes are piled up on both sides of the lobby.The clerks on duty were in charge of their own affairs, and there were also a group of committee members, house officials, servants and even servants, etc., crowded the hall, and there were countless people standing in the lower hall of the hall, waiting to watch the excitement.Outside the gate of the Gongyuan, there were countless newspapers of good news. These people had spent a lot of money to buy the book office inside.Then he reported it like flying, with the intention that if my family got the letter one day earlier, he would get a few more rewards.

After a while, prepare to gather and drum up the hall.The chief examiner left the Hengjian hall and came to the Zhigong hall to meet with the supervisor.After the three bows of the officials were over, the Neilian inspector took the officials on duty, and sent the selected scrolls to the public case. First, put the top five scrolls in the middle, and then put the scrolls of No. 6 and below. The bundles of the middle rolls were arranged neatly one by one, and then the bundle of the prepared rolls was placed in another place.The usual way to fill in the list is to fill in No.6 first, fill in the whole list, and then fill in the top five.This reason has only been explained in "The Legend of Heroes and Heroes" when Mr. An became a Jinshi, so there is no need to repeat it at this time.

At that moment, after returning to his seat, the chief examiner moved the top five scrolls, reached out and picked up the first volume No. 6 in the middle volume, hung the ink scroll according to the number, and opened the seal.When it was taken out, everyone took a look, and saw that the name on the roll was Ma Daigong, and the Han army was a white bannerman.It turned out that this man's Nai Weng had served as the Southern Supervisor, and he himself donated a candidate for a fellow judge.As far as his talent is concerned, he is omnipotent in writing lyrics and finding sentences, even in playing pipes and tuning strings, he is a first-class frivolous and frivolous kid.But it was the most proud student who had been taught by Master Lin Lin of the Han Dynasty when he came to Beijing to work in the library.Seeing that he was the one in the first scroll, he couldn't help raising his beard and shouting happily: "Yi Zhong! This is my student, very smart! His family is considered a big family. His name is Yi Zhi." , another name is Qishan. Not only can they be regarded as the first famous family among their banner people, but also the first gifted scholar in Beijing. The three old seniors took this disciple today, so they are called "the name is clear, and the master has a good name." "Eye" can be called "shuangjue". If you don't believe me, when he is in court, ask for his collection of poems at that time. They are really Du and Li Fusheng, and don't mention Wang, Yang, Lu and Luo."

It just so happened that this volume was recommended by the chief executive, and the chief examiner Fang Gong was selected. He was very proud of hearing this, and said: "This is the so-called 'text has a fixed evaluation'. It can be seen that my old eyes are still good." Not blind."

As he spoke, the Lord Jianlin held his scroll in his hand, and recited his rhythmic verse.At this time, the two outer curtain officials who signed the book over there had already researched the ink thickly and dipped their pens to the full, waiting to pass the vermilion scroll, and then marked the winning lottery.I didn't want that Lord Jianlin to look at the paper and suddenly yelled: "Come on! Come on! Why? His poem never rhymes with an official rhyme!"

Mr. Fang was also surprised when he heard this, and said: "I don't believe there is such a thing! I think the transcription is wrong, and I have never been able to tell the reader, and I don't know." He hurriedly took the ink scroll, and personally read it again. I corrected it carefully, but it’s not that I forgot what it means to rhyme with an official!After being stunned for a long time, he looked at everyone and said, "What's the matter? It just happened to be No. 1 in the opening list! Not only is it difficult to settle, but it is also inconvenient to mediate. At this time, I have to push up the rankings one by one. The rankings on the scroll will be changed, let alone a sentence. No, let’s make a divination to the sky in the prepared scroll and make it up. What do you think? That's right." With that, everyone stood up.

The chief examiner then opened the bunch of prepared papers, picked out a few of the co-branded ones and put them in one place. Immediately, with the heart of seeking talents for the country, he must be sincere and respectful, and wished silently.First, he used his right hand to shake up the few prepared volumes that were picked out and put them in one place. His left hand still couldn't believe his right hand, so he used his left hand to shake it for a while, and secretly fumbled for a copy. The volume of "Chengzi No. 1" that Wei Lou was in charge of and strived to never retreat.Hastily called the seat number, adjusted the ink roll, opened a pair of seals, and saw that the name written on the face of the roll was exactly the word "Anji".After reading the word "Ji", everyone realized that Ma Daigong, who was named Yizhi and nicknamed Qishan, was actually doing Tiangong on behalf of this good horse man who was not known for his strength but his virtue, and was preparing to replace An Ji. of.I'm only pitiful for that student Ma, who was extremely high in the middle school, changed in an instant, and probably because of his frivolity, he quietly ruined the No. [-] entry on the list without a trace!At this time, it really came to the conclusion that "for the sake of the mountain, I will fall short, stop, I will stop".

From this point of view, with fame and fame, it is only the honor of one's life. If one has both good fortune and good fortune, it is hard to hope for a career!Otherwise, if you only look at those people in the world who are clearly at the top, unexpected things will happen; if you are competitive, you will use your strengths against your strengths.Even if there is a turning point in front of you, it will be snatched away by someone powerful, and you must have a famous weapon on your head, which will teach you to ask yourself if you can't make it.Everything is certainly a trick of God's game, and it may not be my own secret mistake!However, in the two thin volumes of "The Analects of Confucius" written by my master, the chapter "For the Nine Rins of the Mountain" has an infinite savior's heart, which makes people bitter.What is it like if a person discards but does not read, reads but does not understand, understands but does not understand, understands but does not believe?
