Zhang Erbao used all his strength to finally squeeze his way to the front of the list. There were a total of 159 people on the B list. There were densely packed names on it. He quickly looked for his young master, and then he was squeezed here and there by others. It was very strange.

It’s so hard to find that it makes me dizzy and unable to find it. The arrangement of this list is the ranking. The further back the list is, the lower the ranking is, which means that the literary talent is worse. It is not arranged by the strokes of the surname. You need to look for it.

It can only be done from the beginning to the end, or from the end to the beginning. And the list is a long strip, so people who look at the list in front of it will be confused about the east and the west. If it were placed five hundred years later,

I still think of it as a square dance, but the rhythm is missing, "The vast horizon is my love, the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains, what kind of list is the most swinging, what kind of ranking is my favorite..."

… .”

Zhang Erbao was sweating all over and danced the "square dance" back and forth three times without seeing the young master's name. His first reaction was that the young master failed the exam. Thinking that the young master was only sixteen years old and would take the exam again next year, he gave up and was about to go back.

At this time, another gong sound was suddenly heard, and a large number of officials and officials poured out of the government office. There were also many official servants. A red list was posted. This was the first list (A list) posted alone on another wall.

On the list, Zhang Erbao wanted to watch the fun, so he was surrounded by many people watching the list and looked at the red list. There were five people on the first list, and the font was much larger than the second list. It was clear at a glance. When Zhang Erbao saw that the young master was ranked second

When I got there, I almost jumped up. Oops, it turns out that the young master is here.

The topic returned to the poetry meeting. Invited by the Jiangnan scholar Yao Weishan, Zhang Zijun was greeting each other at the first table and said: "I have met the old man in my late studies." After giving a deep bow, he turned around and faced

Yao Kui saluted and said, "The student has seen a great scholar." Then he saluted Yao Bi and Yao Xi and said, "Zhang Zijun, the left guard of Huailai, has seen these two young masters." Finally, when he came to Yao Ying, he bowed deeply and said:

"Xiaosheng has met the lady."

The etiquette can be said to be comprehensive. There is nothing wrong with calling Yao Weishan an old man. Calling himself a junior scholar invisibly enhances Yao Weishan's talent and learning. And for Yao Kui to call himself a student, it also brings closer the relationship between fellow scholars, rather than the relationship between officials and people.

Chaoguan, the two young masters Yao Bi and Yao Xi have a peer relationship, so when they report their family status and then their names, it is different for Yao Ying. They are both peers, and there are differences between men and women. It is very appropriate to call themselves a niche.

In ancient times, if you got the wrong title, you would not be embarrassed, but you would be regarded as a fool, make a joke, and sometimes lose your life. The names of Chinese people are essentially a history of cultural development, which contains the long cultural history of the Chinese nation.

Precipitation and change. Chinese people's titles are a reflection of patriarchal clan, customs, grades, status, prestige, etc. Elders, juniors, superiors, and subordinates each have their own set of titles, and no one can override them. From the titles, we can see the Chinese people's attitude toward

The emphasis on patriarchal etiquette, respect for the inferior, elders and other etiquette and customs, as well as the expression of official positions and imperial examinations.

As a scholarly heirloom, this family of course attaches great importance to the title. Zhang Zijun naturally blended into it, eliminating a lot of unfamiliarity. Yao Weishan was curious about this young man, but his poems are so varied.

The poems that came out were both majestic and trickling. Just as I was about to explore further, I saw Cao Heng coming hurriedly. When he saw Zhang Zijun, he said: "Brother Zijun, there are two good news messengers in the front yard.

It was said that the results of the government examination were released, and among them, Zijun came second in the government examination, so I asked him to go and get the report."

Yao Xi interjected: "Is there another messenger?"

Cao Heng said: "It's Wang Lun of the Sixteenth Table, fifth place in the government examination."

Alas, it’s not easy. Two people have been on the red list in this poetry competition, which is gratifying.

Why did the police who delivered the results send them to the poetry meeting? Because some candidates lived in inns, some temporarily stayed with relatives and friends, and some lived in guild halls in various places. All the candidates who could participate in the Haitang Poetry Society Poetry Society were retained

If he said that if he passed the exam, he would be sent to the poetry club. The messenger would first send him to his residence. If he said that he was not there, he would send him to the poetry club, and then everyone would come.

The Poetry Club is also honored. Although it is just a government examination, having two people in the top five speaks volumes. The Poetry Club sent out the servants to receive the good news.

It can be said that whenever it comes to the imperial examination, the ancients will go crazy. From the common people to the imperial court, the imperial examination is the most important. Those who are already officials in the court will recruit new officials for their own use, and the new officials are born from the imperial examination.

Therefore, poetry societies, guild halls, and academic societies outside of the scientific examination were highly regarded as gathering places for literati and talented people, and numerous groups were formed, laying the foundation for future party struggles in the halls of the Ming Dynasty.

The three people in the pavilion were still struggling over how to allocate the two beauties. In the end, they had no choice but to draw lots to decide who would belong to them. In the end, one of them would lose. The status of women in ancient times was really hard to say. Their future fate was decided by drawing lots.

, in fact, the position you are born in and the occupation you engage in have determined everything.

Regardless of whether the Poetry Club will continue with the following programs, Zhang Zijun has no interest in it anymore. He should go home and have fun with his family, because he has to find a new place to live. If he keeps renting his uncle's house, which is cheap, it will take a long time.

It will make you feel disgusted. It is better to move out as soon as possible before giving birth to a bad boy. It is very unpleasant to live under the fence of others. Although we treat each other like guests on the surface, there are already hidden mines. For example, Zizhe is not allowed to run into the backyard.

, Ziya is not allowed to raise chickens or light a fire in the front yard, but only provides two meals a day. Although it is free food, the food is very poor. Most of the time, it is just pancakes and pickles. This is also a topic that Zhang Zijun has never wanted to mention.

They are already doing well. These days, they don't pay rent, they don't suffer from the cold, they have two meals a day, and they can eat enough. Compared with the refugees outside the city, they are hundreds or thousands of times better.

Zhang Zijun was just about to bid farewell to Yao Weishan and his family, but he didn't expect the handsome scholar Wang Lun and Prince Wang to come to his door. As the son of Wang Wen, the great scholar of Jinshen Palace in the current dynasty, he certainly had some literary talent, but it was a little short of outstanding.

"Feihua Ling" lost to Zhang Zijun, and Hou Youfu ranked fifth, but Zhang Zijun ranked second, which is equivalent to losing another city. For a literary young man like Wang Lun, he feels unfair. Think about it

My father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, he had a well-educated family background, and he was well-known in the cultural circles of the capital. However, Zhang Zijun, a young scholar whom he had never heard of, stepped on both sides of him, and he was obviously dissatisfied.

While the poetry meeting was taking a break at noon, I came to the meeting to find out what the background of this boy named Zhang was. Invisibly, I got into trouble with Zhang Zijun. After I caught a glimpse of the song "Ode to Snow" written by Yao Weishan on the desk, I felt a secret fire in my heart.

Well, the scholar started with sarcasm. While smiling, he pointed to "Song of Snow" and said: "I didn't expect that Kai Meng nursery rhymes could also become poems. I admire it."

Now I have stirred up a hornet's nest. This poem was written by Yao Weishan himself. He praised it and rated it highly. He even commented on the expression techniques and profound artistic conception of the poem in front of his children and grandchildren. Now

It has become the work of a young boy. Wouldn’t this just slap Yao Weishan in the face?

First of all, Yao Bi blushed and remained silent. Yao Xi, a young man, could not hold back his anger and replied: "When I ask about his political affairs, I just don't know the words, and everyone is contemptuous of him. "

He was very direct in replying, full of firepower, he has a good family background, and he even cursed people and said "I don't understand" what he said in an argument.

Wang Lun, the scholar in Jinyi, is not a fuel-saving lamp. He obviously understood Yao Xi's reply. He is worthy of being the son of a scholar from Jinshen Palace. He still has literary talent. He said again: "Look at him sitting in a high hall and riding a big horse.

A person who is drunk with alcohol but fat and fresh, how can he not be towering, fearsome, and illustrious? How can he go without gold and jade on the outside, and be ruined on the inside?"

This made Yao Xi angry and scolded him again: "Anyone who fights will always think that he is right and think that others are wrong. Being sincere is right, but being honest is wrong. This means that you are a gentleman and you are a villain. So

A gentleman and a villain are in conflict with each other. When he is down, he forgets his own body, when he is above, he forgets his relatives, when he is above, he forgets his king. Isn't it nothing more than that? This man is what is called using the fox's father's sword to attack the ox's arrow."

Zhang Zijun next to him was really eye-opening. It turned out that this was how the ancients quarreled. I had seen some shrews swearing in the street, shouting in front of each other with gongs and drums, and there were many local characteristics of the quarrel between the north and the south. But when the ancients quarreled, they were still literati.

This was the first time I saw scholars quarreling. I was too embarrassed to ask the people next to me whether they were quarreling or studying. What were they talking about?

First of all, Yao Xi's reply was vulgar, superficial, not knowledgeable, describing articles or words as vulgar and superficial. This is from Volume 1 of Wang Tuan's "Tang Yulin Political Affairs".

Later, Wang Lun, a scholar in gilded clothes, scolded her for being beautiful on the outside but ruined on the inside. She may have a gorgeous appearance, but the essence is a mess and a mess. This is from the Ming Dynasty minister Liu Ji's "The Mandarin Seller's Words" (Liu Ji, Liu Bowen).

This was a personal attack. Of course, Yao Xi did not show weakness and immediately counterattacked. This means that anyone who loves to fight must think that he is right and the other party is incorrect. If he is indeed right, the other party is indeed wrong.

, then you are a gentleman and the other person is a villain.

Isn't it too much to rely on the virtues of a gentleman to hurt each other with villains without considering one's own reputation, the harm done to relatives and friends, and the monarch? Isn't it too much? This kind of person is like what people say.

It's not worth using Father Fox's sword to stab cow dung.

Damn it, if you are uneducated, you can't continue. It turns out that there is a reason for quarreling and scolding. First, you have to take the initiative on the basis of justice, and then I scold you using the words of my ancestors to see if you accept it. I just couldn't understand it before. Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang for a few words.

Wang Lang immediately died. In fact, Zhuge Liang's few words contained many sources. If it were a person with poor education, it would definitely not be relevant. However, Wang Lang was a Sima and was very knowledgeable. Every curse Zhuge Liang used

The source of every sentence can be found. It is conceivable that every source is an allusion, which immediately made Wang Lang angry to death.

This scene seemed really funny to Zhang Zijun, who was snickering on the sidelines. Chen Ying, another scholar next to Wang Lun, Mr. Chen, was making gestures towards Yao Ying behind Yao Weishan. Wang Lun became even more upset when he noticed it.

I was so angry. As a daily friend, why didn't you help me when there was a quarrel? Instead, I was trying to pick up girls. It was so outrageous. In the blink of an eye, I saw the instigator, the boy named Zhang, covering his mouth with his hands and snickering. I was touched.

Pointing at the pain point, Zhang Zijun was about to curse, but he saw that the other party was one step ahead of him and said: "It's true that happiness and mutual detriment are mutual."

What does this mean? That is to say, we can obviously be close to each other, but we insist on hurting each other. The subtext is: boring. Continuing from Yao Xi’s words, it is said that using the strength of the fox father to fight against the cow is also a metaphor for Wang Lun’s quarrel, using the word fox father.
