Jing Shi has known Zhang Duan for a long time and knows that she is strict and cautious by nature, and her words are really for her own benefit. At that moment, he just smiled and said: "Young Master Yu was born in the Zou family. He is already a nobleman in Tianhuang. He has also been granted a title and a palace in China. He has a reputation of benevolence, virtue, wisdom, and he will not eat living people."
Zhang Duan looked at him lightly and said: "Zi Yun is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and his wisdom is extraordinary. If he didn't make strange remarks from time to time, he would have been recommended by the county government. It's no use for me to do this favor. Young Master Yu is neither a devil nor a monster, how can he have food?" Human nature?”
Jing Shi said: "Thinking about old things, I just made a mistake."
Zhang Duan sighed and said: "I am free and at ease with the lone crane in the idle clouds, the mist, the water and the rocks, but it is a pity that Zi Yun's lifelong knowledge has to be wasted in the wilderness. Now that the opportunity is given by God, we must strive for it. I come to Longye now, The first is to see you, and the second is for another reason." But he refused to tell the truth. When Jing Shi asked, he smiled and said, "Zi Yun will know the clues when he goes back to the examination supervisor."
While the two were chatting, they walked from the city gate to North Street. There are cars and horses on the road, people are walking along the streets, and people can be heard on the eight streets and nine streets. The shops in the city are packed with jewels, golden willows, jade and jade, and are extremely prosperous.
At that time, the Eastern Region was pursuing a style of writing that was pleasing to the eye of softness and elegance. Men of the upper class often applied powder and vermilion on their faces, smoked their clothes and shaved their faces. Zhang Duan is taller than ordinary women. He wears high-heeled sandals and a green cloth turban on his head, which makes him slightly taller than the Jingshi. He also dresses up in men's clothing, is good at speaking false accents, and behaves gracefully and calmly. When passers-by look at him, they all think he looks like a jade master. Women often look back and look at him, and even throw fruits and flowers at him. Jing Shi followed beside him, becoming a dispensable companion. When we reached the corner of the street, we saw a huge mansion with black tiles and white walls. It was simple and elegant. Although the street was noisy and busy, it looked increasingly peaceful and indifferent. Only two black-armored warriors stood in front of the door, holding spears and halberds. They looked formidable. .
Zhang Duan pointed in a low voice: "Zi Yun, look at that place. It is Longye Xueyang Academy, which is now temporarily designated as an examination supervisor. You will first follow me to report to Young Master Yu's house, and then you will stay here to wait for the examination. "
The two of them moved forward again, heading towards the hinterland of the city. At that time, King Kan had three sons and three daughters according to his rank. The son Yu was the second son. He originally worshiped the general of the chariots and cavalry of the Kingdom of Kan, and also served as the chief minister of the emperor of China. Therefore, he was able to establish a government and appoint his own officials. He was given the title of Marquis of Lingguan, so his residence was not called Gongzi's Mansion as usual, but was instead called Lingguan Mansion. The two came to the house, handed in their names, and went in to record Jing Shi's name.
Zhang Duanyin was the daughter of an aristocratic family, and her brother also had old friendships with the royal family of King Kan. After entering the mansion, several deacons recognized him and called him husband. While the two were chatting, Zhang Duannai asked, "Can Marquis Ling Guan be in the mansion today?"
The deacon replied: "My master is traveling with guests to the Huaye Pavilion outside the city today. I am afraid that I will not be able to see you two when I return that night. Please forgive me. If Zhang Langjun has something important to do, you might as well leave a message and I will report it to you later." Lord."
Zhang Duan originally wanted to recommend Jing Shi, but he didn't expect that Zou Yu used to be diligent and thrifty in the past and was not good at feasting and hunting, so he went on a trip with guests today. Although I was surprised, I couldn't ask any more questions, so as not to be suspected of being a trap, I just said: "It doesn't matter. Now I just need to check the names." Then he followed the deacon and checked the birth date in the name list. There was indeed no difference, so he added Jing Shi's name. After sketching, he was sent to Xueyang Academy to stay, and he also warned: "Since the examinees have joined the examination supervisor, they are not allowed to leave without permission to avoid accidents."
Hearing these words, Zhang Duan knew that they were separated and would never see each other again, so he sent Jingshi all the way to the gate of the academy and said goodbye: "It is expected that the time for writing the title will be more than a month away. Zi Yun will have a good life in the academy." Recuperate and don't be greedy anymore. I have received the medicinal seeds you gave me earlier. Thank you for your efforts in finding them. I will tell you the effects in detail when they are mature." After giving these instructions, he waved his hand and left.
More than a month later, Jingshi was waiting in the courtyard, without even leaving the house. Xueyang Academy was originally the home of Longye's Chinese studies. The library contains numerous volumes and is extremely quiet, which is perfect for concentrating on study. Jingshi stayed in the hospital for a month, as if he had returned to the private school in Xiaoyuan Township, where he read papers and books all day long. He also drew all the roads and scenery he recorded on the way and compiled them into a volume. It only took more than ten days to organize the desk like this. After that, I had nothing to do, so I took out a handful of broken jade from my arms and tried to piece it together. I also looked at Liang and silently calculated and deduced the number theory.
One night, Jingshi was meditating when he suddenly heard a sound on the wall next to him. He heard a man crying with a sharp and sad voice. Jing Shi didn't pay much attention at first, but his voice lasted for a long time and turned into a howl, accompanied by a song. Suddenly, the door banged, and one person said angrily: "Lou Qingwen! You can't let me sleep!" The crying stopped, and the other person said in a confused voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just for fun." There was no movement one after another. Jing Shi didn't pay attention, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that someone knocked on his door.
Jingshi opened the door to welcome the visitor, but the man who came was a man in a white shirt. He was dressed plainly, but his head was small, and his chin was round and pointed, like an egg with a blunt end downwards. Eyes as red and swollen as peach.
When the visitor saw Jing Shi, without saying anything else, he bowed his head and said, "I drank too much last night and made a lot of noise. I really can't bear to see this brother." It turned out that he was a neighbor. The two met each other and exchanged names. Only then did they find out that his name was Lou Jian, and he was from Guan County in Yue State.
Jing Shi didn't pay much attention at first, but when he heard his name, he felt that he had heard something, and immediately said: "Qianqiu One Building Qingwen?"
Lou Jian smiled dryly and said: "My nickname is true. It was also promoted by a few classmates. I am really ashamed and dare not take it." He asked Jing Shi his name again, and Jing Shi replied: "Jing Shi, Yuanshan County, Zhen State."
The man on the floor was overjoyed when he heard the words. He strode forward and grabbed the Feng Zhi written by Jing Shi Shuangjun. It can be said that it is thorough, detailed and good. Although there are no beautiful flowers and spring flowers, Yi Xianzi's literary thoughts are rigorous, broad and pragmatic, and his style is very different from the other Feng Wu Zhi. We have long been willing to get acquainted. I also heard that you once cured the problem of water and foxes. I wonder how you succeeded? I have no other good things in life, but two: one is reading history and studying, and the other is listening and writing. I am lucky enough to meet Ziyun today. I really want to hear about your life, so I will write it down. I wonder if Ziyun has some free time now? If you go and sit in my room for a while, it won't waste much of your time. "
Jing Shi paused and said: "Water and fox troubles are just trivial skills, not worth spreading."
Lou Jian said: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. I just have a few questions." He folded his arms and sleeves, and took Jing Shi to talk to the neighboring house. Jing Shi is not talkative at first, but Lou Jian is a crazy person. When something happens to his heart, he forgets the etiquette, wastes sleep and food, and talks from morning to night, so he is reluctant to let Jing Shi go back. From then on I visited every day, going in and out as if I were at home. Later, he introduced several people to Jing Shi one after another, all of whom were his old friends. Among them, the youngest one was named Wang Li, whose nickname was Jingzhi, and he was from Xijia County of the Qi Kingdom. He was born in a poor family and was quite extreme in nature, but he was good at chiming bells and drums. His works were spread throughout the countries in the Eastern Region, and his reputation was as good as the tower slips. This gentleman arrived early, but because of his relationship with the building slips, he unfortunately became a neighbor in the courtyard. Whenever Lou Jian reads history books at night, he will scream and cry wildly, and all the candidates in the corridor will be disturbed. However, because Lou Jian is crazy and has a reputation for being crazy, most of the others will tolerate it and help Wang Jian to smash the door and break the window. Stop the noise.
Now that Jing Shi has known these two lives, he has never been able to be pure from now on. Guests come to visit him every day, discussing classics and history, or talking about chess and music, and he is always uneasy. Fortunately, he had a calm nature and seldom argued with others. He would sit down by the wall and concentrate on counting while others were quarreling with each other.
In the morning of that day, Lou and Wang came to sit in his room. They first argued about the merits and demerits of the previous dynasty, and then discussed the major events of the current dynasty. Wang Han said: "Lou Qingwen, you said that this time there is a big move in China, but you asked me to wait in Dingguo to wait for the test. What questions do you want to answer?"
The man on the floor scratched his head and thought hard for a long time, and replied: "It's really hard to explain this section. It has been more than sixty years since the Central Plains came to conquer our territory last time. The big move at that time coincided with the collapse of Moushan Mountain, the flood of Cuihe River, and the flood of Beilu along the coast. The land was flooded. The examiner ordered each of the examinees to take charge of a township and control the water level within a period of years. At that time, examiners were sent to visit various places to visit the people's conditions and use them to evaluate the grade."
Wang Han was surprised: "You don't ask about banknotes, but just about performance?"
Lou Jian said: "Although it was like this last period, now the world is at peace. I haven't heard of any major disasters. I don't know how Master Yu will arrange it." While they were discussing, a sergeant from the courtyard came to see him, saying that he was someone from outside who wanted to see Jing Jing. stone. Jing Shi went immediately after hearing the words. When he got to the door, he saw Zhang Duan standing by the road, holding a book fan in his hand and looking up at the willows. When he saw Jing Shi going out, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "How is Zi Yun in recent months?"
Jing Shi said: "Okay. Why is Zhuang Qing here?"
Zhang Duan smiled slightly, but there was little joy on his face, and said hurriedly: "I am here today to inform Ziyun of the news. I have already guessed that there will be a large-scale trial, so I came here to tell Ziyun, hoping to make preparations as soon as possible."
Although Jing Shi knew that the Zhang family was a prominent family in the Eastern Region, he did not expect that his supernatural powers would be so vast. He said silently for a moment: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Qing Zhuang to reveal the topic privately."
Zhang Duan smiled and said: "Zi Yun, don't worry. This is not an ordinary literary test. If you know the questions earlier, it may not be better. In fact, I guessed the test questions myself and did not dare to make a conclusion. I would like to ask Zi Yun to consult with me." .”
Now that she had said this, Jingshi couldn't refuse, and she heard Zhang Duan continue: "The day before yesterday, I went to the mansion to pay homage to Master Yu, and saw that carriages and horses were being prepared in the mansion, and there were many cud animals and sacrifices, as if they wanted to bring people to sacrifice from afar. Also see The people of the government gathered together more than ten pieces of Suduan and Jueben pieces. Their styles are embroidered with gold and silver, and the patterns are rich. They are much different from ordinary shapes and are very small in size. They look like children's clothes. There is also a six-sided sacrificial sword made of copper. The sixteen words engraved on it are: "I was ordered by heaven and showed my virtue on earth. The green mountains were enshrined in Zen, and the four seas were peaceful. Now I give you the royal weapon to subdue the East Ruins. Rest and settle down, and all kinds of people are at peace." In this way, Ziyun can know Where are you waiting for in the future?"
After Jing Shi heard this, he no longer hesitated and blurted out: "The country of Juhui."
