dream of red mansion

Sitting alone in the pond like a tiger,

The shade of the green willow nourishes the spirit.

I don’t speak first when spring comes,

Which bug dares to make a sound! "

Fang Shou's voice is up and down, as if imitating the author's absolute confidence when he wrote this poem!

They are all words of ambition, but the perspective of this poem is completely different from that of Zhang Ziwen.One writes everything, one writes one thing, but there is an indomitable belief hidden in it.

Sun Fuwang asked, "Who is the signature?"

Fang Shou had expected this question earlier, and said two words lightly: "Jia Qing."

"Jia Qing?"

There was no one who didn't know Jia Qing, because it was only in the morning that Jia Qing had a face-to-face meeting with everyone in the pavilion.

Wang Xianjue said: "I thought I already had a high opinion of that child, but it turns out...it's really not a fluke that his poems were valued by Mr. Liu."

Wang Xianjue's mood is very complicated...

Fang Shou knew that Wang Xianjue valued this poem, so he looked at others and said, "What do you guys think?"

Others said it was good, some said it was not as good as the former, and some said it was better than the former, but they didn't say anything bad.

In the end, Lin Zhongyi acted as a representative to express his opinion: "Both poems can be regarded as excellent works. I will not elaborate on the poems themselves. I will only say a little bit. Zhang Ziwen's 'Xin Lei' perfectly shows that everything is ready, Just wait for the blockbuster momentum of the examination field in the coming year, the so-called words have substance, and the muscles and bones coexist.

Jia Qing's "Ode to the Frog" is also a rare example of using objects to describe himself, and the angle is ingenious.But his imagination is better than reality, and it may be unfair to him to say so, after all, he is only eight or nine years old.But as far as the conception of the poem is concerned, I think "Xin Lei" is better. "

There is a certain amount of leeway in the definition of poetry. Some people like one kind, and some people like the other kind, which is understandable.However, it is clear that Lin Zhongyi's views are supported by more people.

In this regard, Fang Shou followed the good advice and listed "Xin Lei" on the first list of the Poetry Association.

He didn't intend to let Jia Qing take the first place in this poetry meeting, that name is really not important.

Chapter 76 Final Appreciation of Master Fang Yunchu

Once the time has passed, the time for writing poems is over, and then it is time to publish the ten poems selected by the gentlemen in an open space above the slope and next to the pavilion.

There are too many people, of course it is impossible to accommodate them all, so many people went ahead to occupy the seats.Jia Qing and the others could only stand in a corner on the side.

It is said that disputes about the ranking can be raised, and changes can be made if it is reasonable, but this is just a formality, and no one raises any objections at all.Because it is impossible for this kind of poetry to cover up, that is to make fun of the judge's own reputation.

No.1 is "Xin Lei", but No.2 is not Jia Qing's "Song of Frog", but a lyric poem written by another class A student. Jia Qing is ranked No.3.

Regarding Fang Shou's defense at the beginning, and then the "repression" when ranking later, Sun Wangwang and others have no objection. Jia Qing is indeed too young. growth is more favorable.

Xie Guowei's poem was ranked ninth, hanging at the end.

It is worth mentioning that the fifth place is a four-character poem written by Liu Hong, which is also quite well written.

But not to mention that many people did not come to participate in the poetry meeting this time, even if they all came, the ranking of this poetry meeting cannot be said to be the ranking of strength.Many people are not very talented in poetry, but it doesn't mean that he is not good at writing classics and essays. The final imperial examination is still the level of classics and meaning.

So like Jia Qing and Liu Hong, although they ranked very high in this poem meeting, there are not a few people in this prison who can suppress them in the final exam.

After announcing the top ten works to everyone, Sun Fuwang made another speech, and finally said: "Today's poetry meeting is over, please come to the middle of the pavilion for the top three of the poetry meeting, and the rest of them should leave."

Although Sun Fuwang asked everyone to disperse, many people still chose to stay after Jia Qing and the others entered the pavilion. They did not forget that the great Confucian Fang Shou wanted to accept disciples today.Most likely, he chose one of the three who had just entered.

Those who are more informed also know that Zhang Ziwen already has a tutor who can be excluded, so he should choose one between the second and third.They all wanted to get the news as soon as possible, so they stayed and waited and watched.

In the pavilion on the top, Sun looked down at Jia Qing and the three of them below and said, "I asked you to come in because I have a task for you.

February 28 is the triennial Jiangnan Literary Conference, held by the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and the venue is set in Nanjian.According to the usual practice, our Beijian will also send people to participate. I decided to send the three of you this time. What do you think?

Don't rush to refuse Ziwen, this Jiangnan Poetry Fair will send people from well-known universities in the entire Great Chu territory, and most of those people will also participate in next year's spring, so it is also beneficial for you to meet them in advance. "

Sun Fuwang said so, Zhang Ziwen couldn't say anything else.As for Jia Qing, he was a little surprised when he heard that he was going to Jiangnan, but he really thought about going to Jiangnan to prepare for something, and he happened to have a good cover to fight.

The other didn't object either.Then Sun Wangwang gave them a brief explanation about the rules of the Jiangnan Cultural Association and the itinerary for going to Jiangnan.It was agreed to set off on the fifth day of February, that is, three days later, with Sun Wangwang personally leading the team.

Jia Qing thought it was inconvenient to go with Sun Fuwang and the others, so he asked to go alone, and promised that he would not miss the time.

Sun Fuwang knew that when the elders of these big families went out, the elders usually arranged a lot of entourage to follow, so it was fine if Jia Qing wanted to go alone, so he agreed.

In the end, Sun Fuwang said: "This is the arrangement for the time being, I will give you a day off on the fourth day of the junior high school, you go back and prepare well, after all, the next trip to the south of the Yangtze River will not be easy.

Alright, Brother Yunchu, do you have any orders? "

He said and looked at Fang Shou.

Fang Shou smiled slightly, and handed a page of poems to Sun Wangwang.Sun Fuwang took it over and took a look, he understood instantly, and said to the three people below: "Jia Qing stay, you two go down first..."

The supervising student from Class A obviously darkened, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and followed Zhang Ziwen back out silently.

Jia Qing was also slightly excited, as expected, when Zhang Ziwen and the others retreated, Fang Shou said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher and follow me to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius?"

Jia Qing was stunned. Shouldn't leaving him alone should be like the interview of later generations, ask a few questions first, and then talk after understanding the situation?But soon Jia Qing came to his senses, knelt down and said, "Disciple Jia Qing pays respects to teacher!"

Then he kowtowed three times.

Fang Shou laughed and said, "Get up..."

Others were also a little surprised, is this the end?

In fact, Fang Shou basically found out everything about Jia Qing's situation, and he was very satisfied in all aspects.Combined with Jia Qing's performance today, he couldn't wait to accept Jia Qing as his disciple.

He really enjoys the feeling of carving a piece of beautiful jade into a treasure. Over the years, he has accepted more than ten disciples, and most of them have already left the teacher. Jia Qing is the seedling he valued after he came to Beijing.

After Jia Qing stood up again, Fang Shou said: "Okay, from now on you will be my No. 17 disciple. It happens that I will live in the capital for a long time, so you don't have to leave the Imperial College. I will come to the Imperial College often. If there is anything you don’t understand about learning, you can always come to the teacher’s house and ask.”

Jia Qing readily agreed.

Sun looked forward and said: "Brother Yun Chu is too casual, this ceremony of accepting disciples should be more formal."

Fang Shou waved his hands and said indifferently: "I don't pay attention to those vain etiquettes when I recruit disciples. As long as I teach my disciples well, they will respect me. It's nothing if I don't drink a cup of tea."

Jia Qing also knew that there was a whole set of rituals for apprenticeship in this era... But since Fang Shou didn't mind, Jia Qing certainly didn't want to go through such a set of procedures.

After Fang Shou's acceptance of disciples was over, the officials from the Ministry of Rites naturally had no reason to stay. After congratulating Fang Shou one after another, they each went back.

This is the end of the poetry session.

When Jia Qing came out of the pavilion, he found that Hou Hu and the others were still waiting outside, Jia Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are you waiting here if you haven't gone back?"

"Congratulations, brother, for being able to worship a famous teacher..."
