Chapter 106: The Lonely Cold Window and the Widow
Jia Qing's voice suddenly attracted the attention of people around him. The buddies on the stage also heard the sound and wanted to know who was helping him.
When he saw a young man younger than him, he was slightly stunned. Then, he seemed to remember something. The red color on his face faded and became happy. He said to Jia Qing: "Brother Jia, are you here too?"
Sure enough, this guy knows me.
But I forgot who he is, and it is difficult to ask now, so I had to say "hmm" and stop talking.
Some people who were originally dissatisfied with Jia Qing's troublesomeness met him and couldn't blame him. Such things that can solve problems for friends are also in people's understanding.
The person who came out the first couplet wanted to denounce such unfairness, but when he saw that the official in charge of the front line did not say a word, he had no intention of blaming Jia Qing for disrupting the order. He couldn't help but feel a little weak and reluctantly said, "I'll ask my brother to come out."
"Let's wait!"
The official in charge finally spoke, but did not see Jia Qing, but interrupted him.
"Did you think of the first couplet you posted?"
The official in charge spoke sternly!
“Yes…yes…”
"Hmph, are you bullying me for a little bit of knowledge? This is clearly a couple of predecessors. Although you made a little change of one word or two, it was a foul! If you want to be the absolute one of predecessors, you will definitely go there and solve it. What should I do in this place where I improvised pairings? I can't continue!"
I don’t say whether the imperial examinations were good or not, but on the one hand, those who could pass five levels and kill six generals and thousands of troops were all people with a rich knowledge reserve! The person in charge could immediately determine that the couplet was produced by the predecessors, and most of the people who were watching just now could not judge it, otherwise they would have spoken out loud!
"Du Feng, the Shuntian Prefecture School in the capital, won this competition!"
After the man went down in disgrace, the official announced.
Du Feng bowed to the officials, then bowed to the audience, jumped off the stage, and said to Jia Qing: "Thank you, Brother Jia, for your help!"
Looking at his Feng Rui's face, Jia Qing remembered this time that this seemed to be the guy who was lying in Yanyu Tower last time. He was the Ningguo Mansion that asked him to help send the message back. It turned out that his name was Du Feng.
So he bowed and said, "It turns out it's Brother Du, and I haven't had time to thank you for the last time!"
Du Feng said a little embarrassedly: "Well, your master has already paid me..."
Jia Qing could guess this, but Du Feng's shy look made Jia Qing feel interesting. This is a life that is exaggerated by Confucianism who believes in a gentleman who does not speak of profit.
"Will there be no reward for your pair win?"
"Reward? What kind of reward is needed? The biggest reward is to show off your style in front of so many people, and there are also Jinshi officials as a judge.
However, if you can make a good couple and get the recognition of the judges, you can be recorded and sent to the main judges. If you pass again, you can participate in the ranking. Unfortunately, I didn’t make a good couple."
Jia Qing from the main judging group heard Zhang Zi say, but he just didn't know that this pair could still play like this, but it would give people a lot of experience.
"That must be a perfect couple for the predecessors? Why don't we go and have a look."
Jia Qing was not interested in this kind of saliva, and suggested.
"It's not all from our predecessors. There are also good matches collected by the Ministry of Rites that are famous today. It's hard to be right. But I went to take a look and I couldn't even be too neat."
Du Feng said as he walked in front and led Jia Qing over.
After passing through various occasions, we arrived at an area. Unlike the front, the decoration here is: the judges' seat is centered and extends forward. On both sides are two rows of nanmu shelves, with various pairs hanging on it.
There are obviously many more people here than in other places.
Jia Qing looked at it one by one and found that it was all difficult, absolutely.
Jia Qing has been studying hard for the past few years and has been given guidance from famous teachers like Jia Jing. He is not only familiar with his studies in ancient times, but also has achieved remarkable achievements and achieved success in his studies.
Although these pairs are very difficult, he feels that he can still match a few.
I continued to look forward, but was blocked by a group of people.
Du Feng squeezed the crowd slightly, and Jia Qing looked in, and saw that the young man in blue had seen at the door. He was thinking about the first couplet in front of him.
The person next to him who was dressed up all his life said, "Brother Li, why bother with his heart? The seven words "Lonely and cold windows are empty and widowed" are the same, and the sentence is natural, and it is really hard to match! It's nothing if Brother Li doesn't make a mistake for a moment."
Li Yunfei said: "It would be fine if it's the other person. Li is not overestimating his ability and is arrogant. Just this sentence, I feel very touched. I can't bear to be a beauty with the lonely lamp forever, so I have to try it out."
As he said that, he turned around and bowed to the judge and said, "Students are satisfied with one couplet, please correct me!"
The temperament in front of me was very elegant, and the behavior was polite and not impatient. The judge also admired it very much. He smiled and said, "Please speak."
"The first couplet is: Loneliness and cold windows are empty and widowed.
The student’s second couplet: A handsome and beautiful woman is alone.”
As soon as this couplet came out, everyone thought about it slightly, and it turned out to be extremely neat.
"It's so good, I'm worthy of being the young master in Qing!"
"Another absolute..."
The judge also nodded and said, "You can tell me, please remember."
The previous student flattered him: "Brother Li is indeed unattainable. He can definitely get it right, and it is perfect. Brother Li is probably going to be the first in the Jiangnan meeting..."
Although Li Yunfei's second couplet is correct, it is considered neat, but the intention is repeated, all of which describe a woman who stays alone in the empty bedroom. When she thinks about it carefully, she always feels that the artistic conception is not as good as the first couplet. However, it is correct, but it is definitely not as seamless as the sky!
Seeing the series of flattery words again, Jia Qing rolled his eyes.
Coincidentally, the student caught a glimpse of Jia Qing's disdainful look. He looked closely and said, hehe, it was this kid of the Gaoliang!
So he said: "The Jiangnan Association is a place where friends are made. When can even such a playboy and playboy come in? It's really a shame!"
His voice was loud and he said to Jia Qing again. Everyone present looked at Jia Qing together.
The eyes are clear and fun.
When Wang Shun and his friends saw Jia Qing being humiliated for no reason, they all burst into anger and wanted to fight back as soon as they moved.
Jia Qing waved his hand to stop him, looked at the person in front of him carefully, and after confirming that he didn't know him, he was inexplicably surprised, and the nameless fire rose, and the melon seeds and a bed bug was knocked out!
He first bowed to the judge, and then said to Na Sheng: "Jia Qing, who is studying under the former Nanjing Ministry of Rites, dare not take this title!
I wonder what the anonymous name is called?”
The man was furious when he heard this: "So what about the children of high-ranking officials? In the Xia Sun Wude, the student of the Nan Guozi, although he has no position or a share, he looks down on you the most. The playboy who plays the dandy who plays all day long, is not the place you should come!"
It turned out that he met Jia Qing at the east end of Ningrong Street last year. His name was Wude. At that time, he didn't like Jia Qing, but he didn't do anything under Liu Xianglian's control. He met him again today and even "mocked" him. How could he bear it anymore!
Jia Qingzhen didn't know where he offended this "Brother Wude". He was about to speak when the judge above spoke: "But Lord Fang Shoufang's disciple?"
Jia Qing said: "That's right!"
The judge said unhappily: "It can be seen that it is a lie. If you are a disciple of Master Fang, how can you return the name you have before?"
Jia Qing was stunned, and then said happily: "Has the teacher entered the cabinet? It's so great...
Please forgive me. The student came out of the capital more than 20 days ago. I still don’t know that my mentor is lucky to join us!"
When the judge heard this, Fang remembered that Fang Shourong was promoted to the cabinet minister more than half a month ago. Jia Qing didn't know it, so the displeasure on his face disappeared and said in a harmonious voice: "I know the character of Master Fang. The disciples he can value will never be the playboy. Since you come to the meeting, just show it well. Wan Mo will lose Master Fang's face!"
His words were considered to be a way to correct Jia Qing’s reputation.
Jia Qing replied: "Students follow the teachings of adults!"
