When Zhang Yue asked who wrote the word "number one scholar"?
Fan Zuyu shook his head first, and then asked about Huang Lu. Huang Lu is the most Buddhist person in the house, so it definitely cannot be him.
When Sun Guo also entered, he shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's not me."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but doubt himself. Did he really write it on the beam while sleepwalking?
This is unscientific.
At this time, Huang Haoyi came in after wiping his face, and the four of them asked in unison: "You can't write Si Lang, right?"
Huang Haoyi smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, you see my handwriting is not bad!"
The four of them are so eager to sneeze at each other, how can you still win the top prize with your damn virtue?
Huang Haoyi asked: "What's wrong with this? As the saying goes, if you look for the method above, you will get it from the middle; if you look for the method, you will get it from the middle; if you look for the method, you will get nothing. I am determined to take the imperial examination and finally choose a Jinshi. It’s not difficult to be born.”
Everyone groaned.
Sun Guo said: "In that case, wouldn't it be good if you just wanted someone with the same Jinshi background?"
Huang Haoyi smiled slightly and said: "You always have to lie to yourself to get the top prize."
Everyone shook their heads, and one person said: "Silang, you'd better remove the words on this beam, otherwise it will become a joke if word spreads."
"I have never... not been afraid of what others say." Huang Haoyi said.
At this time, the people who were sitting next to him came to the house to look for Zhang Yue about something, and they happened to see the word "number one scholar" and couldn't help laughing.
Fan Zuyu on the side said: "I can't stand people saying, take it off!"
Sun Guo stopped and said, "Maybe it would be beneficial not to expose it."
"How do you say that? Does it mean that just because you have the word "number one scholar" on it, you really won the number one prize?"
At this time Huang Lu said: "I heard that there was a scholar who was admitted to the imperial examination. He dreamed that he was growing vegetables in the wall, wearing a bamboo hat and holding an umbrella, so he asked the alchemist."
"The first alchemist said that growing vegetables on the wall is a waste of effort. Wearing a bamboo hat and holding an umbrella is unnecessary. After hearing this, the scholar was unhappy, but he was unwilling to give in and asked the second alchemist for questioning."
"The second alchemist said that growing vegetables on the wall is a "high school", and wearing a bamboo hat and holding an umbrella is to be prepared."
Fan Zuyu said: "I understand, you are saying that the important thing is not what words are posted, but how you see them? This is the best way to train your mind. If we can't stand this rumor, how can we talk about high school?"
Zhang Yue and the other four laughed loudly when they heard this and said, "That's exactly it."
From then on, the words "number one scholar" were affixed to the beam.
Ten days after the Lantern Festival, Zhang Yue's Lantern Festival poem also gradually spread in Bianjing.
The spread of poetry is also difficult to fathom, and it is not uncommon for good poems and words to be appreciated decades or even hundreds of years later.
After having the poem "Qingyu Case", the poem "Jianzhi" is the same as the three-character poem Chuan Chuan Shu, and the attack-heart couplet, a three-character poem.
No one thinks so of Bianjing's number one talent yet, but when others talked about Bianjing's current talents and listed a list of names, Zhang Yue was definitely among them.
However, people who do good things will always say something about Lan Xiner's "asking for words" from Zhang Yue and then being annoyed by Zhang Yue's straight man's answer.
There have always been a lot of scholars in Bianjing who cared about people. After learning about Zhang Yue, some people said that he was crazy, and some people said that he didn't understand the style. However, most people thought that it was okay for a talented person to have some shortcomings in interacting with others. Understood.
Of course, Zhang Yue's reputation outside was gradually spread to the Imperial Academy.
It is said that the Qingyu Case is still famous, and the poetry was most highly praised by scholars in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, there is a saying in Tang poetry and Song poetry that there are always people from all the houses who come to visit Zhang Yue.
Many new Tai students asked to be assigned to Yangzhengzhai, or to live in the same room as Zhang Yue.
If it weren't for the strict access control of Taixue, which did not allow Taixue students to receive guests casually, there would definitely be many people from Bianjing coming to see Zhang Yue's style.
Therefore, it is a good thing that Zhang Yue chose to live in Taixue.
Because Zhang Yue knows what kind of temper he is, sometimes he is not afraid of setbacks and can move forward courageously, but he is most afraid of encountering praise and flattery, which makes him unable to control himself.
To put it bluntly, it is the temperament of not surrendering when the wind is against you, but when the wind is favorable.
Zhang Yue understood his own character, so he became somewhat famous, but became more low-key than before.
At the same time, Zhang Yue also understood that fame is something external to oneself, and the most important thing lies in one's own talent and knowledge.
Fame that is not supported by talent and knowledge, even if it does not dissipate, is just flashy. If Zhang Yue hadn't copied his essays, the poems and essays he wrote would still not be worthy of his current fame.
Therefore, he is more low-key than before and is more diligent.
Fortunately, in the two years since I came to Taixue, Zhang Yue's poems and essays were written by Li Gou, Chen Xiang, and other teachers, and their teachings have made great progress. On weekdays, classmates also learn from each other, and you are trying to catch up with each other.
As the exam is approaching, it is inevitable that the lights will be on at three and the chicken will be on at five.
Although it is cold today, Zhang Yue and others all start their fast immediately.
In fact, there is no need to watch the alarm clock. As long as one person in the room gets up, goes to fetch water and wash his face and makes a little noise, the other students lying on the bed will not be able to help but get up.
After most of his classmates got up, Zhang Yue would sleep for a while, but in the end he still felt nervous, and no matter what, he didn't sleep soundly. Zhang Yue gets up every day to fetch water to wash his face, takes some jasmine tea sent by the Wu family, brews a large vat of fragrant tea, and starts reading in the morning light.
If there are no major classes or exams in Chonghua Hall, Zhang Yue and his classmates will go to Luting to study. After the Shangyuan Festival, students from Tongzhai went there earlier and earlier every day. Originally, there were still empty seats in the furnace pavilion, so many people would choose to study in the studio.
But after the Yuan Dynasty, the furnace pavilion would be full of people, and if I arrived late, there would be no seats left. At this time, the first-class pressure also arises spontaneously. Although it is stressful to watch others reading, everyone will still come here.
As for the daily reading of classmates, they are also different. Generally speaking, whatever you read, I also want to read.
Reading is not just dry reading. Most people will have pen and ink ready next to the book.
Just like poetry, if you can learn more about uncommon allusions that you know others don't know, and then use them in poetry, the examiner will always look at you favorably. Here, college students have poetry bags and verses, and they usually extract good words, sentences, and allusions that others are not familiar with from the books they read, for use in future examinations.
In addition to the Taixue examination, there are also mutual competitions in Zhaizhong.
For example, unify propositions, compose poems and rhymes with such-and-such and such-and-such things.
You see Tong Zhai writing five or six poems at once, but you only have two lines in his pen. How do you feel?
After the writing is completed, everyone will comment on each other to correct the composition and rhythm of the words. How does it feel when a group of people are discussing with each other, but you can’t get in the middle of the conversation.
A poem should be written with tension and relaxation, and twists and turns.
Therefore, even if there are chronic diseases in selecting scholars based on poems and poems, it is still very convenient for others to judge whether they are good or bad at a glance and make distinctions between high and low.
You see that other people's grammatical structures are superior to yours, and you think that when the examiner sees your two articles during the test, who will the examiner finally know?
As for the New Year, there is no leisure either.
In the past, the imperial students would go out for social outings, take baths and drink tea, or organize groups to go to brothels to clear dungeons on the first day of the lunar month.
But after the Yuan Dynasty, what we said to each other on weekdays was that I was going to visit someone today, and I went to his place to ask him to read the article.
Or where to go to seek advice.
At this time, those who wanted to go out were in no mood, and everyone was studying in the furnace pavilion consciously. But when they arrived, they found that the furnace pavilion was already full of people as you thought.
Who is in the mood to play at this time?
There is another way, which is to learn the status of Zhai Zhai Yu from the chief Zhai Yu of each Zhai Zhai. Although it is a lot of chores on weekdays, it is still very beneficial to the Imperial College Examination. Of course, these are only tacitly understood by everyone, and no one will say it explicitly.
In order to slightly increase the chances of a few to stand out in the exam, the Taipei students also use their own methods.
There is a quota of 600 for the Imperial College Examination. Students from the Taipei Imperial College and Guangwen Hall will all be competitors in the future. Even the best students have a competitive spirit.
However, there is one exception in the house, and that is Huang Lu.
No matter how busy Zhang Yue is, he still maintains the habit of taking a nap, taking a nap for more than an hour every day.
As for Huang Lu, he was in the studio while others were studying in the furnace pavilion.
Others watch the lights at midnight and the chickens at fifth watch. He goes to bed at what time he should go to bed and wakes up at what time he should get up.
On New Year's Day, everyone else was studying in the Taixue, but he did not do it. He wandered around until dark before returning, and brought a lot of food to everyone in the studio.
Several lecturers in Taixue were dissatisfied when they knew that Huang Lu was working so hard. However, in every private and public examination, Huang Lu was not ranked among the best, but he was not bad at all. He could be in the middle or upper reaches.
Zhang Yue once asked Huang Du why he didn't practice hard?
Huang Lu said with a smile: "I don't need to be the top scholar. For me, it is enough to pass the Jinshi examination and be born with the same Jinshi."
"Besides, among all the great things in life, passing the imperial examination is not even one of them. Why spend all your time on this just for the sake of studying?"
Zhang Yue said: "I mean, with your talent and fame, it's natural for you to take advantage of your wealth, but don't you want to go further?"
Huang Lu smiled and said: "I don't fight. I never fight with others. If others win the first place, I just watch. If I fight, if I don't win, it will only increase my troubles. If I win, won't others be annoyed with me? So I Let them be."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Now, Anzhong is the only one who remains indifferent."
Huang Lu smiled and said: "I'm not studying either, I just don't study hard."
"Actually, you see, some of our people are destined not to pass the exam. It will be useless for them to study again. Why bother. Even if some people are lucky enough to pass the exam and get into the officialdom? They have to work hard to get the qualifications and have no time for a day. ."
"Now you and I can sit down and watch the breeze blowing through our ears and the bright moon in our arms when we have free time."
Zhang Yue asked: "Did An Zhong say we were kissed?"
Huang Lu said: "I have already arranged it at home. She is not a woman from a high family, but she is my childhood sweetheart. Even if I am penniless tomorrow, she will not dislike me."
"Before I left home, I told her that if I can pass the Jinshi exam, it doesn't matter if I can't. As for what I can do, I will do it. If I can't do it, I will go back to my hometown and live a simple life. I must not tire my heart from doing, so I Never force anything.”
Zhang Yue nodded. Huang Lu's words make sense. It's like with my good looks, I can make a living on my face, but why do I have to study hard?
In fact, everyone has their own way of living. In life, the most important thing is not to be tired. If you want to struggle, of course you will struggle. If you want to lie down, just lie down. It is also good to be like Huang Lu.
Zhang Yue smiled at Huang Lu and said, "Then I'll send you a message to Anzhong. I won't be surprised by honor or disgrace. I won't care if I go or stay. I'll smile and watch the clouds roll and relax in the sky. I'll watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court."
Huang Lu reviewed Zhang Yue's words and said happily: "Well said, Duzhi is really my confidant."
