Chapter 37 Seven Step Poetry

After Ye Chen walked out of the examination room, he wanted to go directly to Wang Kong's side and wait for the end of the exam to go home. It was only 10:[-], and there were still five or ten minutes before the end of the exam. After thinking about it, Ye Chen decided to go around Walking around, it seems that I have never been to the provincial library.

Due to the examination held today, the provincial library was not open to the public. When Ye Chen came to the library, the door of the library was open, but there was no one inside. Ye Chen walked in. It is worthy of the provincial library. The abundance of books in the library can be seen from the rows of bookshelves that cannot be seen. Since coming to this world, Ye Chen has never had a deep understanding of the culture and art of this world. Confidence in classic literary works, but Ye Chen is not arrogant. This world has a history that is not inferior to that of the previous life. Although there are great differences, there is definitely no shortage of amazing literary masters in the thousands of years of history. Even if he didn't come here today, Ye Chen originally planned to take time to study the classics of this world, and university is the best stage.

But it's still too early to think about it now. Ye Chen walked past rows of bookshelves, and finally came to a row of bookshelves with a sign saying "Chinese Classics". To Ye Chen's surprise, he didn't expect this row of bookshelves. There was still someone, an old man in his sixties, thin, with a red face and full of energy.

Ye Chen glanced at him, but didn't care. He glanced at the bookshelf, took out a copy of "Shishuoxinyu" and read it carefully. There was a reason for choosing this book. The turning point of the world history was Sui Dynasty. Dynasty, which means that after the Sui Dynasty, many classic masterpieces did not appear, and the four great masterpieces did not come out. As a time traveler, it is impossible for the "Four Beauties" not to get involved.

Then the rest is the dynasties before the Sui Dynasty. Chinese classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" have already been widely circulated, so there is no need to consider these. 'The masterpiece, as a historical material, also has a certain authority, but it can be used to understand whether there is any difference in this period of history.

But time was running out, Ye Chen opened the book, turned to the Chinese literature category of "Shishuoxinyu", and browsed carefully.

Old Han's real name is Han Xuan. He usually likes to read a lot of books and has a high attainment in Chinese studies. He is one of the few masters of Chinese studies in the empire. In addition to his seniority, he is also very respected in the literary world. He is the same as Wei Shu. Taishan Beidou in the literary world, the people of the empire jokingly called it "South Korea and Northern Wei".

Mr. Han is 63 years old this year. Unlike Wei Shu, after Han Xuan retired, he rejected invitations from various associations, including some large associations, and returned to his hometown as a provincial librarian. Come to a position that is completely inconsistent with Han Lao's status.

Of course, with Mr. Han's status, no one would refuse such a position.

Although Mr. Han is a master of Chinese studies and is usually obsessed with the study of classics of Chinese studies, Mr. Han is even more of a history buff, especially for the history of the Three Kingdoms period, the history of intrigues and intrigues, even to the point of obsession.History books are the most frequently placed in the study room at home.

The 5000-year history has a long history, and history books can best reflect the historical and cultural heritage of a nation or a country. However, compared with the voluminous history books, Mr. Han still feels that there are too few books in his home. Taking the position of provincial librarian also made the leaders above laugh and cry.

For the convenience of reading, Mr. Han even moved his own residence to the provincial library, regardless of his family's dissuasion, he regarded the library as his home.

As early as when Ye Chen came to this row of bookshelves, Mr. Han had already discovered Ye Chen. Mr. Han also knew that today is the rematch day of the National Youth Literature Writing Contest. The library should be closed today, but because Mr. Han I encountered a problem when studying the history of the Three Kingdoms period, so I went to the provincial library early in the morning to find information, but I searched through the history books of the Three Kingdoms and even the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but I couldn’t find the information I wanted. Can't help being a little impetuous.

Seeing Ye Chen at this moment, he immediately regarded Ye Chen as a student who didn't seek to make progress, and his impression of Ye Chen was a little bit worse.Mr. Han knows that today's National Youth Literature Writing Contest starts at 10 o'clock and ends at 30:[-]. Nowadays, students who hand in papers in less than an hour, aren't they not seeking to make progress?
And since the library is not open today, Ye Chen is obviously not someone who read books early in the morning.

For a literati like Mr. Han who has been dealing with books all his life and takes teaching and educating people as his own responsibility, there is nothing more angry than seeing a student who "doesn't seek to make progress" like Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen still holding a book and "pretentiously" reading it, Mr. Han couldn't help but let out a soft "hum".

Ye Chen was engrossed in reading a book, when he suddenly heard a cold snort, because the library was very empty and there was no one there, even though Mr. Han lowered his voice, Ye Chen heard it very clearly.

Turning his head, seeing the old man in front of him looking at him angrily, Ye Chen felt a little baffled. After thinking about it, he recalled that the old man seemed to be looking for some book but couldn't find it, but now he looked at him like this again, Ye Chen Chen glanced at the book in his hand, and thought, "Could it be a coincidence that this old man is looking for this book in his hand?"

Ye Chen was having a good time reading it. Although he was a little bit reluctant, he looked at the old man and looked for his age for a long time. He still smiled and handed over the book in his hand and said:

"Old sir, are you looking for this book? Here it is."

Mr. Han was startled, watching Ye Chen handing over the book with a smile on his face, thinking in his heart, "Humph, can't you finally pretend?" Just as he was about to say no, Mr. Han suddenly saw the shape of the book in Ye Chen's hand. The name is "Shishuoxinyu". I have read this book myself, and maybe I really have the information I want. Thinking of this, Mr. Han stretched out his hand and took the book.

Seeing the old man took it, Ye Chen didn't have anything to read right now, so he turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, Old Han said:

"Little baby, come and watch together."

When Ye Chen heard this, he hesitated, but thinking that he hadn't finished reading what he just read, he turned around and read the book with Mr. Han.

I don't know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but the place Han Lao turned over happened to be the place Ye Chen had just seen.

"Emperor Wen tried to order King Dong'a to compose poems in seven steps, and those who failed would practice Dafa. In response, he wrote poems and said: "Boil the beans and hold them for soup, and boil the beans for juice.Osmunda is burning under the cauldron, and beans are weeping in the cauldron. .”

"It's a pity, it's a pity, Cao Zijian, who completed his poetry in seven steps, was killed by his own brother Cao Pi before he finished writing his deadly poem. It's a pity through the ages. If Cao Zijian was given two more steps, Xie Lingyun said that Cao Zijian would be better than Cao Zijian." It’s worthy of the name, it’s a pity, it’s a pity.”

Mr. Han closed the book, handed it to Ye Chen who was at the side, and said with a dispirited expression.

At this time, Ye Chen was also full of doubts. When he saw this, he was in disbelief. He thought it was a printing error in the book that left out the last two sentences. Now judging from the old man's reaction, the famous seven-step poem in his previous life is here. The last two sentences were omitted in this world for some unknown reason.

However, Ye Chen is a cautious person after all, put away the thoughts in his head, and asked Mr. Han: "Old man, haven't you finished writing the seven-step poem?"

Old Han was still immersed in the regret that the seven-step poem was not completed. Hearing this, he said casually:
"Judging from the later history books, the seven-step poem should be completed. Although it cannot be determined, everyone generally agrees, but there is no complete seven-step poem recorded in the history books, alas."

After getting confirmation from Old Han, Ye Chen had an idea in his heart, and smiled at Old Han:

"Cao Zijian was persecuted to death by his own brother. He must have been very sad. If it were me, I would write like this."

After hearing this, Mr. Han glanced at Ye Chen, a little disapproving, and thought, "It's true that calves are not afraid of tigers after birth. How can Cao Zijian's seven-step poem be so easy to continue?"

However, Mr. Han still admired Ye Chen's courage. This is the attitude a scholar should have, seeking truth and truth. Therefore, Mr. Han also looked at Ye Chen encouragingly.

Ye Chen didn't expect this, Ye Chen just felt that Cao Zhi was born in the emperor's family in history, and he was so talented, but his whole life was a tragedy, even the woman he liked was robbed by his own brother, but now in this world What's more tragic is that even the famous seven-step poem has been questioned by others, and he added the seven-step poem by himself, which can be regarded as a rectification of Cao Zhi's name.

"Boil beans and hold them for soup, and boil them for juice."

"The scorpion is burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron."

After reading this, Ye Chen paused, seeing that Mr. Han was still disapproving, Ye Chen continued to read:
"Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other?"

Mr. Han on the side didn't take it seriously at first, and now he didn't think Ye Chen was a bad student who didn't want to make progress. He even thought about how to make a tactful comment after Ye Chen finished reading the two lines of his "continued" poem. After a while, so as not to dampen Ye Chen's enthusiasm, unexpectedly, after hearing Ye Chen's continuation of these two sentences, Han Lao felt as if Cao Zhi's poem should be written like this!
"It's born from the same root, so why is it too urgent to meet each other? Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to talk to each other." Old Han murmured several times in his mouth, and he seemed to be possessed by a demon.

After a while, when Mr. Han finally came back to his senses, he asked Ye Chen excitedly:
"Is this really what you wrote?"

It's no wonder that Mr. Han is excited. Mr. Han likes to study history, especially the history of the Three Kingdoms. Based on the nature of a literati, although Mr. Han also appreciates the various intrigues and tricks of the counselors in the Three Kingdoms period, they are collaborating and strategizing. In the middle of the battle, he won the love affair thousands of miles away, but he admired Cao Zijian as a pure literati, so he always regretted Cao Zijian's unfinished seven-step poem in the history books. Han Lao also tried to complete the seven-step poem, but he always felt that Not so good.

However, Ye Chen’s supplementary two sentences are not the case, “It’s born from the same root, so why bother each other too quickly” not only matches the content of the previous four sentences of Cao Zijian, but also expresses Cao Zhi’s inner grief and indignation, which is obviously questioning Cao Pi: You and I are brothers, why do we have to push each other so hard?
In Han Lao's opinion, Ye Chen's continuation of these two sentences is like a part of the seven-step poem. He didn't expect that the eternal regret in the literary world would be made up for in front of his eyes today.

Ye Chen saw that Mr. Han was so excited, it was difficult to understand Mr. Han's mood, but he still said modestly: "This is written by the boy who saw that "Seven Step Poems" was not finished, and felt deeply sympathetic to the author's experience. , it’s just a clumsy work, which made the old man laugh.”

Seeing Ye Chen's humility, Mr. Han admired Ye Chen even more in his heart. He is talented and neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is a good seedling.

"You don't want to call me Mr. Han anymore. If you don't mind, just call me Mr. Han." Mr. Han looked at Ye Chen and said cheerfully.

"The boy is respectful rather than obedient. The boy's name is Ye Chen, and Mr. Han calls me Xiao Chen." Ye Chen said with a smile without being pretentious.

"Then I'll call you Xiaochen, Xiaochen, are you here today to participate in a competition?" Elder Han asked.

"Ah."

"How was the test?"

"feel good."

Mr. Han nodded, and stopped asking any more questions, and changed the subject: "Xiaochen, I wonder how well you know about the history of the Three Kingdoms?"
