Old Hanlin saw Xu Xian turn the screen wall and walk out of the courtyard.
Turning his eyes to the locust flowers all over the trees, he sighed softly: You must be passed down through the ages with those quatrains throughout the ages, but I don’t know if they are in the biography or aristocratic family?The biography of ordinary ministers is a biography, but the biography of the Duke and the Marquis is a family.
Let me write this first sentence for you today!Old Hanlin withdrew his gaze and fell on the white paper in front of him, with half of it already written.
Among them, there may be a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a good way.The sentence records some of Xu Xian’s words and deeds just now, and then adds: Come to people.I want to write something, but I don’t write it.
Although his feelings for Xu Xian are far more than that, historians cannot mix their personal opinions on history. Even if they want to express their own views, they often use the mouths of others to write about how a person or a celebrity evaluates Xu Xian.
Even if I couldn't help but learn from Sima Qian, the Taishi Gong said, it must be concise and cautious.
The old man smiled leisurely. Xu Xian would also work in this Hanlin Academy in the future, so he naturally could not escape his palms. He should observe and record in detail. Maybe one day he would be able to follow this kid for the ages.
As a result, the dream came true, and his records provided rich historical materials for future generations to study the great poet Xu Xian.
……
The sun rose little by little, and in front of Wenyuan Hall, Jinshi was evaluated and entered Wenyuan Hall.
Although the topics are all kinds of strange and full of classics, history, and literature, the Jinshi are not easy to answer, and most of them can answer them.
Even if there were any words that were embarrassed and unable to answer, the Grand Secretary would just encourage and urge him to put it in the hall, which was not as harsh as imagined, which made the Jinshi relieved.
To put it bluntly, the positions of Jinshi are nominally appointed by the emperor, so the Grand Secretary naturally has to accept them. Even if they lack talent and learning, they will be divided into A, B, C, and D in the assessment in the future.
But the atmosphere in the venue was still very solemn. The Hanlins' faces did not relax at all, but became more and more serious, and they kept their eyes at the door from time to time.
Those who can get here are not stupid people, but are the heroes among young and energetic people.Even if I didn’t notice it at the beginning, I now realize who the Hanlins are really targeting.
He lowered his voice and started to discuss something. A young Jinshi chuckled at the Jinshi beside him and said: It turns out that we were fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond.
The man next to him replied: It's Ah, I think why did this happen suddenly? I wonder what these adults will use to test Xu Xian, can't it be writing poetry?
The young Jinshi raised his eyebrows and wrote a poem?When he looked left and right, he lowered his voice and said in his companion's ear: Just be dying!Even if you have a little brain, you won’t be able to take this test, and you won’t see what Xu Xian does.
Well, yes, let’s take a look!It depends on whether it is "Xu Xian swept the Hanlin Academy" or "Xu Xian received teachings from the Hanlin Academy".
At this time, two figures appeared outside the door, Xu Xian and Pan Yu.Seeing the Lord appear, all the Jinshi who were watching the fun stretched out their heads, and the Hanlin people even had their eyes shining.
Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh that he was so energetic after staying up late!Only the Grand Secretary did not move his voice, and he didn't even look at Xu Xian until he finished asking about other Jinshi.
Xu Xian naturally stepped forward. Student Xu Xian had seen all the adults. He just saw a scene in the Hanlin Academy on the way. He remembered something, but he was puzzled. He came too late. Please forgive me.When I looked up, I saw that the Grand Secretary’s hair was sparse and gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was very old, afraid he would be in his fifties and sixties.
The Grand Secretary looked at Xu Xian and said in an old and hoarse voice: You are Xu Xian!I asked casually, I don’t know what you saw, so I was late!
Xu Xian smiled and said: The student saw a small pond in Hanlin Academy, where some willow trees were planted beside the pond, and the willow leaves grew green and the locust trees were white.At that time, the red sun was born, and the morning mist had not dissipated, lingering in it, which was very elegant.There is indeed a different world in this Hanlin Academy.
When everyone saw Xu Xian’s introduction, they thought they were looking for a reason for being late, but they thought this reason was really not very good!
The young Jinshi mocked: It’s not too late to flatter now!Please let these masters go?
The companion beside him sighed: People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. Do you think these people are easy to offend?It is not a bad thing for a real man to bend and stretch!
Chengzang Jian was silent. Seeing that Pan Yu did not return to the hall, he stood not far from Xu Xian, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking at Xu Xian talking with his bright eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.
A thought suddenly arose in his mind, it would be great if these Hanlins made Xu Xian look ugly.He was also shocked by his thoughts. Why did he have such a dark thought? Where did he go to cultivate his nature and qi?
The Five Classics doctor who led the way said: That’s all?The dignified Xu Tanhua comes from the water town of Jiangnan. She is used to seeing the scenic scenery of West Lake. Will she be fascinated by this small scenery?He was planning this plan, and of course he had to come forward.
Xu Xian smiled and said: Everyone has their own interests!
The Grand Secretary heard the implicit voice and asked: Then when you see this scene, what else did you think of something that makes you puzzled?
Xu Xiandao: The student thought of a couplet, but only thought of the first couplet. No matter how hard the student racked his brains, he couldn't think of the second couplet. Could it be absolutely?
The Five Classics said: Oh, even Tanhualang can’t think of it?That must be very difficult. You might as well tell me it. This is full of knowledgeable people, and maybe you can help you understand it.I thought to myself: Good, Xu Xian, I actually used the preemptive plan. It must be that the master from the library leaked the news.
But you are making a flaw and showing off your own mistakes. Haven’t you ever heard that there is no absolute in the world?
As long as we are matched, you will be killed immediately.
There is no absolute in the world. It is said by a great talent in the previous dynasty, meaning that there is no unanimous couplet in the world, and this truth has been proven for thousands of years.
Even if one or two pairs are regarded as absolute occasionally, there will be immediately cracked by knowledgeable and talented people.
Everyone who found the so-called seven absolutes has an answer, otherwise Xu Xian couldn't answer and he wanted to ask them, and they couldn't answer, wouldn't that be a big ugly?
At this time, all the Hanlin and Jinshi were warming up. Now the world's number one talented man confessed to being incompetent. No matter who can match it, wouldn't it prove that he is better than the world's number one talented man? Such a temptation is really great. Literary scholars may have bad profits, but nothing is not good at fame.
For these people, couplets are like eating and drinking water. No one thinks they will be incompatible. Now they are just waiting for Xu Xian to come out the right one.
Only Pan Yu became a little worried. Xu Xian did not tell her on the way that he had thought of any solution.
Now it seems that this method is not very good. Even if he comes up with a difficult couple, these people will not match it for a while. If they spread all over the world in the future, there will always be someone who will match it, and it will inevitably cause some statements to be damaged.
Pan Yuxin said: No, let me be right. If someone can match it here, I will see the opportunity to say it in advance. If no one can match it, let Chinese Wen immediately return the pair when he goes back.
Chengzang Jian keenly noticed the hidden worries between his eyebrows, and immediately made a plan in his heart, letting himself pair up the pair!
Hanlin, Jinshi, and even Chengzang Jian. Pan Yu was all focused on it. Under their gaze, Xu Xian felt as if he had entered a wolf's den. He was surrounded by hungry wolf. He was shocked. Even the Grand Secretary who had always been calm showed an interesting expression. Unexpectedly, a small couple was involved in the title of No. 1 in the world.
Xu Xian coughed lightly at his fist and said loudly: Is there water or not!
Everyone was shocked, and several Jinshi who were highly 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: Tell me quickly!
Xu Xian said: Then this time I’m here!I saw the scenery by the pond and suddenly came up with a first couplet called Smoke Locking the Pond Willow.
As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, many response sounds immediately sounded in the crowd, and the fog surrounds the mountains and pine trees!Clouds cover the moon!Wait, and soon there were more than a dozen second couplets.
This kind of response attitude made Xu Xian sigh at his charm.
Pan Yu, Cheng Zang Jian, Grand Secretary and some relatively calm Hanlin all showed a thoughtful look.
The doctor of the Five Classics slowed down and failed to catch up with the opportunity. It was too late to be right at this time. He said disdainfully: Xu Tanhua, this is too simple... But he suddenly realized that among these five words, they respectively include metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and use the five elements as radicals. None of these blurt-out couplets are correct.
And those couples immediately understood after being reminded by the people around them, their faces turned red and they started to think about it.
At this time, only Xu Xian didn't think of any couplets. He observed the expression on his face. He knew that this widow recognized the closest answer to Cannon Zhenhai City Tower.
But even this couplet is not only too different in artistic conception, but also much worse in rhythm, which can only be considered far-fetched, let alone other couplets.
In the feudal era of China for thousands of years, it can be called less than one palm.
But the other few are either lacking artistic conception or only skilled in the mechanism. The only thing that can be recognized by literati and poets is actually the only one who is the smoke locked in the pond. The artistic conception of the sentence is beautiful and natural. It is almost a luxury to come up with a couplet of the same level.
This is the only couple that has been absolute forever.
Xu Xian sacrificed this couplet, which was really the king of thousands of pairs, and the gods and Buddhas were able to escape.He smiled in his heart: I'm so close to my heart!
Turning his eyes to the locust flowers all over the trees, he sighed softly: You must be passed down through the ages with those quatrains throughout the ages, but I don’t know if they are in the biography or aristocratic family?The biography of ordinary ministers is a biography, but the biography of the Duke and the Marquis is a family.
