Do you want to write the word "耑"?
The poem contains more than 360 words. When Zhang Yue wrote it at Taixue, he usually kept it within 400 words.
For Zhang Yue, copying more than 300 words was just a cup of tea.
The word count is not long, but...
In the blink of an eye, one candle was almost extinguished. Zhang Yue calmed down and lit a second candle, unwinding the test before tomorrow's hour.
But Zhang Yue was still thinking.
That's all, quantum mechanics is about being indecisive when faced with trouble... No, it's about falling asleep without being able to make up your mind when faced with trouble.
Zhang Yue once again offered up this all-powerful magic weapon.
Immediately, Zhang Yue put the paper that still lacked the "Supreme Goodness Like Water" into the roll bag and put it under the pillow, then blew out the candle and lay down on the bed.
The rain gradually became heavier this night, and the wind lantern in the examination room was swayed left and right by the autumn rain, and the swaying light swayed on the oilcloth.
The autumn rainy night was a little cool, so Zhang Yue tightened the thin sheet around his body.
Zhang Yue suddenly realized that he, who used to fall asleep with a pillow in his hand, had insomnia...
Zhang Yue tossed and turned on the bed. Although he tried his best, he just couldn't fall asleep.
All kinds of worries come to mind, and I can't suppress them no matter how hard I try.
Eldest brother, sister-in-law, Zhang Dun, Zhang Qiu, Zhao Yasi, Peng Jingyi, Guo Xuexue, Shi Niang, Guo Lin, Zhang Youzhi, Zhang Wangzhi, He Qi, Huang Haoyi, Cai Que, Xiang Qi, Liu Zuo.
These people are now in different places in the south and north, but they all turn around like a revolving lantern in front of Zhang Yue's eyes.
Zhang Yue was irritated and sat up in anger. It was her mother's miracle that she actually had insomnia one day.
Did you encounter a mysterious power? Dropping the chain at a critical moment?
Zhang Yue put on his clothes and opened the oilcloth covering the window. The light shone into the examination room. Looking further away, it was difficult to distinguish the iron tower. The black night, like ink rain, soaked between the sky and the earth.
Zhang Yue looked at the night rain and recalled old friends, and for some reason he remembered a poem by Huang Tingjian.
"Peach plums and spring breeze, a glass of wine, and a rainy night in the rivers and lakes for ten years."
When Zhang Yue was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a compliment from someone nearby: "What a sentence, what a 'peaches and plums in the spring breeze, a glass of wine, a night of rain in the rivers and lakes, ten years of light'."
Zhang Yuedou couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He himself didn't want to copy the poem, but people were eavesdropping everywhere. Is it fun to squat in a corner?
The man squatting in the corner continued: "My brother's voice sounds like he is young, how could he say such a deeply sentimental poem?"
This was not the first person to buy noodles with money yesterday. Zhang Yue said: "It's just something I feel in my heart. It's not intentional."
The other party smiled and said: "It's not that I made a mistake, it's just that this poem touched on my feeling of 'getting married as a child and returning home empty-handed'. I remember that many of my old friends studied together from far and wide, but now I am the only one who still doesn't know what is good and what is good. Seeking this fame, thinking of being alone is really lonely and embarrassing."
When a child enters school, he returns empty-handed.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel melancholy.
While they were talking, a man held a lamp and said, "Who is talking here? No whispering is allowed in the examination room."
At this moment, Zhang Yue withdrew his thoughts and lit the candle again.
The sound of rain stirred up his thoughts bit by bit. Zhang Yue took out the roll paper from the roll bag and spread it on the table. After a while, he calmed down and wrote down the poem.
All gifts given by fate have already been marked with a secret price.
In other words, why should you cheat if you can pass the exam?
Of course, if you cheat, you will be more certain, but you cannot bear another price just to avoid taking this risk.
At this time, there was a sudden movement in the examination room not far away, and a bystander said: "It's not good, it's not good, this person is ill."
The gentleman on the side opened the door with a curse, and several people entered the examination room together with the medical officer.
The rain had subsided, and I don't know how long it had passed before a door panel served as a stretcher and was carried out of the examination room.
The man carrying the stretcher behind said insultingly: "What are you doing here at such an old age? Even if you win the Jinshi and become an official, how many days will you have to live?"
The gentleman carrying the stretcher in front said: "I am also a scholar after all."
"What are you afraid of? Bullying the old will not bully the young."
The white-haired examinee on the stretcher shook his head, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and then wiped away the tears with his hands like dead wood.
When Zhang Yue saw the old examinee, he once again thought of the saying, "If you marry a child and go to school, you will return empty-handed."
However, Zhang Yue was not distracted. Based on the draft he had already made, he soon finished writing a poem of several hundred words.
After finishing writing, Zhang Yue felt extraordinarily refreshed, and his thoughts came straight to his mind. Finally, Zhang Yue dried the ink stains, put the paper in the bag under the pillow, put on his clothes and went to sleep.
This time he fell asleep immediately.
In his sleep, Zhang Yue saw many stories.
At dawn, I heard a knock on the door outside the examination room: "Wake up, wake up, the examination room will be cleared in another hour."
Zhang Yue opened his eyes, tidied up the examination room, neatly arranged the incense burner sheets, and sat down at the table to wait.
Half an hour later, the sound of unlocking was heard from the outside of the examination room. An examiner walked into the examination room. When the examiner saw Zhang Yue, he bowed his hands and Zhang Yue also bowed deeply.
The examiner asked Zhang Yue, "Name?"
Zhang Yue said: "The Imperial Academy is raising Zhengzhai Zhang Yue!"
The examiner nodded and said, "I have heard about you. Where is the paper?"
Zhang Yue immediately offered it with both hands.
The examiner glanced at Zhang Yue, then looked at Zhang Yue, and the serious look on his face turned into appreciation.
"I am Li Dalin, please clean up and come out!"
After saying that, the examiner took the papers and went out.
Zhang Yue carried the examination box and walked out of the examination room. When he reached the gate, Zhang Yue paused for a moment, turned around and bowed to the examiner who had been staying for three days, and then left calmly.
The rain has stopped outside the examination room, and the ground is a little wet. Candidates who have finished the examination in each room are packing up and preparing to leave.
Zhang Yue saw Huang Lu walking out of the examination room and asked, "How is it?"
Huang Lu said: "It's a foregone conclusion, why bother talking about it anymore, we'll just look at the rankings when the time comes."
Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Okay, let's do whatever it takes."
The two of them laughed together, and then walked out of the examination room together, walking very briskly as they left. At this moment, the rain has passed and the sky is clearing. The iron tower is on the side. The sun breaks through the gaps in the clouds and sprinkles golden light on the road between the two.
The two walked out of the examination room and waited for a while. They saw He Qi and Wang Junmin walking out of the examination room with cheerful faces. When Zhang Yue looked at them, he saw that He Qi also immediately saw him.
He is a very smart and quick-thinking person.
Zhang Yue and He Qi bowed to each other from a distance.
"Anzhong, what do you think of He Qi?"
Huang Lu said: "It seems straight but it is straight, it seems straight but it is straight. Even if you find some tricks to pass the interpretation test, what will happen when you get to the provincial test?"
Huang Lu means that even if you have to cheat to pass the exam, you will be out of luck when it comes to the provincial exam. The Song Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and did not have the reputation of being a civil servant.
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "The wise do not take shortcuts."
"Of course."
After a while, Sun Guo also stepped out, with a gloomy look on his face.
Zhang Yue and Huang Lu saw that Sun Guo didn't say a word, so they couldn't ask any more questions.
Guo Lin also walked out half a day later. His expression did not change much. He was almost the same before entering the examination room as he was after leaving the examination room.
After Guo Lin greeted Zhang Yue and the others, he left with his classmates in Nanjian.
After returning to Taixue, the officials and officials who participated in the other examinations also returned to Taixue.
Twenty-two of all the classmates in Yangzhengzhai were there.
Zhang Yue was also very moved when he saw this scene. In the past, after the provincial examination results were released, these people had different joys and sorrows. Their fate was either up or down, and their future situation would never be the same again.
Just like Liu Zuo and Xiang Qi, a pair of best friends turned against each other. But now the list has not been posted, no one is higher or lower, everyone is still a classmate.
After Zhang Yue proposed to go to a wine shop for a drink, most of his classmates responded. Sun Guo and others seemed to be in no mood, but they did not refuse.
After arriving at the wine shop, Zhang Yue gathered with his classmates, but saw that everyone's faces were solemn.
But after a few glasses of wine, everyone relaxed a lot.
The scene of arriving at Taixue two and a half years ago is still vivid in my mind.
Zhang Yue raised his glass and said to his classmates: "Some of my friendships with you have been long, some have been short, but we are all classmates. After today's drink, some of you may leave Taixue and never see each other again in this life."
"But I have a gift, and it was also given to me by others. In life, you should go with the fate, cherish it, and not cling to it."
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, all the students put down their wine glasses and thought about Zhang Yue's words.
Fan Zuyu, who had always been silent, stood up and said: "The chief said well, we are classmates here. It is a predestined relationship. We get along with each other. If we get along, we will get along. If we don't get along, we will never get along until we die. Because we are classmates in the same room, You don’t have to deliberately make friends.”
Han Zhongyan said: "Then let me tell you, we cherish our fate. We are all commoner friends, classmates, and have never experienced any interference from the officialdom. No matter what happens in the future, this love and meaning will remain in our hearts forever. Since we are close friends, we should cherish it. There is no need to cut off ties at every turn. Even if they are casual acquaintances, when they meet in the mountains and rivers, it is a pity that they can sit down and drink with each other over the matter of youth. "
"In the end, we just don't cling to each other," Huang Lu said with a smile, "... From now on, our status will be very different. Some are ranked third grade, while others are no more than ordinary people. As long as we don't disturb each other when we meet, this means we don't cling to each other."
Everyone laughed after hearing Huang Lu's words.
Zhang Yue also smiled, raised his glass and said: "Things of fate come and go according to fate. Our classmates here are the fate method, and the fate method is to follow the fate, and the fate is just right, and every point is more. No, not even a single moment of leave."
"Therefore, friendships that do not come by chance are inevitably mixed with the desire for profit. They are both gathered and dispersed by the desire for gain. As for the friendship that comes by climbing up, it is really not possible and cannot be retained. Even if we are here according to fate, if we do not hesitate Fate, no matter how good the fate is, will become distant and fade away in the future."
All the students raised their glasses and drank together.
Zhang Yue lamented in his heart that the best time for friendship is the reunion after graduation, but it is different when the classmates reunite a few years later.
There is a dispute among classmates, and when they talk about small projects worth one billion, something feels wrong.
The beauty of my youth is only sealed in my memory. When I return to my eyes, reality will crush it.
Zhang Yue felt a little sentimental, and remembered the sentence "When you marry a child and go to school, you will return empty-handed."
When they first entered Taixue, everyone had the ambition to succeed in their studies. After many years of wasting time, why did they end up empty-handed. If I had known this, why would I have spent my best years here?
The classmates who studied together in private school and county school are now missing? Are you like yourself, full of melancholy when facing an empty wine glass, but have you ever been bowed down by the heavy reality?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue and everyone drank heavily.
Ps: Face covering, that’s all. Just let it happen!
