Li Rui, like me, was obviously the same as I was when I got the title, and then I found someone to polish it. A Fu of Shun Ge Nanfeng was written with gorgeous rhetoric and literary talent. Coincidentally, scholars wrote Shun Ge Nanfeng not to praise the virtues of today. It is an allegory of the way of governance, but Li Rui and I unanimously follow Shun's way of filial piety and righteousness to solve the problem. The whole article praises Shun's filial piety, brotherhood and friendship, which is why it can be popular and the grass will die, and the world will return.I wrote this article briefly, but Li Rui's article is really full of quotations, and I wish I could quote every word.He recited again and again, with an expression and tone, as if he wanted to cut his flesh to perform filial piety, and to break his arms to become a brother. After reading a chapter, he saw his father clapping his hands and laughing: "A good poem is not only about words, but a heart of filial piety is even more rare. Reward!" Then an eunuch brought out wine, and Li Rui stepped forward with a little self-possession, raised his glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

Xu Wangshu jokingly said: "Your Majesty, this Fu must be the first name, and the rest can be ignored."

At this time, except for Wan'er, everyone else had already finished reading the Fu, and the father seemed to be moving, but the mother smiled and said: "Let the Shangguan finish the reading."

The father nodded without hesitation, and the mother looked at Wan'er. Wan'er had already stood up and bowed to this side, and said: "Weiwei Shunde, known today. The world returns to him, like ants love meat."

When she read the first sentence, her mother clasped her fingers on her knees and said softly: "Normal." When she read the second sentence, she laughed and said: "Interesting." I saw that my mother was very concerned about Wan'er's fu , so I sat straight and listened to her read: "The four seas are grateful, like the stars guarding the moon. It contains voiceless sounds, and education is work. It lives in the North Pole but is big, and the song south wind is full of grandeur. The meaning of the song is made of silk and tung .The wind is coming, and the letter grows and grows."

Although I can only roughly classify the pros and cons of Fu, I can also hear that Wan'er's diction is smoother and more beautiful than Li Rui's. While listening to her reading, I looked at my father and mother with some concern. Her brows were slightly frowned, but her mother kept smiling, her index finger clasped lightly on her knees, as if she was agreeing with Wan'er's voice, but Wan'er's voice suddenly paused, after "Nobs are long and gentle". After the sentence "five strings vibrate, the text sings in Bohui, the eight tones are clear, and the parrot is played in the palm", and then stopped.

Mother's index finger was hanging in the air, and it took a while to land on her knee. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you read it?"

Wan'er held up the test paper with both hands, and said calmly: "The concubine is incompetent, and I couldn't write an article."

The mother laughed uncontrollably, and said leisurely as if regretting: "Since it has not been completed, it is naturally not as good as Liulang."

Wan'er said: "Wang Ji is virtuous and filial, concubines are not as good as Yuan."

Mother smiled, but did not speak. Uncle Xu smiled and said: "Okay, the first name has come out, and your majesty is not going to give a banquet soon? Don't be lazy, sing all the songs."

The Jiaofang played "Thanks to the Emperor's Grace" babblingly, and Li Rui led all the scholars to come forward to celebrate their parents' birthdays.He was born with a bit of heroism, but today he was wearing a military uniform, and when he was full of ambition, he looked even more heroic. My father was delighted to see him, but he also forgot that Mudan was going to keep the first name of the poem, so he ordered Said left and right: "Give the hairpin to Liulang."

Yang Zigao picked up the big red peony made of silk paper next to him with his own hands, and put it on Li Rui's hairpin. The rest of the people, either green or yellow, also shared a flower on the head of the Fu. I saw that they had flowers, but Wan'er didn't, so I pulled them away. She touched her mother's sleeve and said, "Aniang, we all ended up together, so we can't be partial."

At that time Wan'er had already retreated to stand beside her mother, and her mother looked at her and said with a smile, "Give Shangguan Cairen a hairpin as well."

The palace servants brought a plate full of flowers, and I picked out a bright purple flower out of it, but my mother smiled and took the flower from my hand, inserted it on my head, and said: "Aunt is not partial, Shangguan only People have flowers, so do sons." After placing the flowers, he looked at them carefully, pinched my face and said, "You and Liu Lang, Zhu and Zi are very suitable."

When Li Rui heard about him, he winked at me, I blushed and said, "Shangguan is fair-skinned, wearing this flower is better than mine."

The mother just smiled, and picked and picked from the holding plate for a while, and picked out a lake-blue flower of unknown origin, held it in her hand, looked at it, shook her head again, and finally chose a light pink orchid, yes As soon as Wan'er raised her chin, Wan'er bowed over, and her mother looked at the flower on her head and said goodbye. Wan'er bent her knees and was about to kneel down to thank her, but she was supported by her mother—the corners of her mother's mouth curled up, straight Looking straight at Wan'er, he said with a smile, "Since Shun can carry voiceless sounds, I can also work and teach."

Wan'er said: "Your Majesty is wise and heavenly, and his virtue is self-contained."

Mother smiled, let go of Wan'er, took my hand and went to talk to father again.

It wasn't until the banquet that I saw some tricks - most of the scholars today come from local rich families. Although they are not as arrogant as the Cui family, they still have a bit of a surname. Therefore, whenever my father goes to a place, he rewards him In addition to promoting local scholars, I will also deliberately respect the Tian family. To put it bluntly, it is just a method of combining grace and power, so that the world can see how the princes of the Tang Dynasty have both ability and political integrity, and how the imperial lineage of my Li family is almost granted by heaven. By the way, it also established some prestige for Li Rui.In the past, most of the limelight came from Li Sheng. He is the crown prince, and I have the distinction of a monarch and a minister. The way of this has nothing to do with me, and I naturally don't know the inside story.Now the one who stands out is Li Rui, who is of the same grade and grade as me, and is also a child. My mother probably added me on the spot with the heart of not letting her fat water flow to outsiders.

Thinking of it this way, I felt better, and when my father and uncles praised me again, they accepted it calmly.It's just that I know my weight well, and when my father ordered me to compose poems during the dinner, I invited myself to test and post scriptures.My father was not in any trouble, so he asked someone to bring me the test paper, and opened it to see that it was all the chapters that the masters had asked me to recite recently. The crown of the field.I thought Wan'er should write two poems even if she let Li Rui down, but she only recited four lines of eulogy in a flat manner: emerald green curtains and pearl curtains open to the moon camp, gold and jade pots pan orchids. .Every year is often rebellious, and the long-term happiness is peaceful.

The first name of this test poem was undoubtedly Li Rui again, and my father ordered someone to give him another peony, because I filled in all the scriptures correctly, and rewarded me with a glass of wine.I don't drink alcohol often, and I'm slightly tipsy after drinking a glass, so I deliberately refused to try the third game under the pretext of being drunk.My mother didn't force me either, she just told me to sit next to her lap and watch everyone take the exam.

In the third scene, Li Rui frowned. Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but look at my mother inquiringly, and my mother laughed mockingly: "Always leave some benefits for others."

While talking, Gao Yanfu quietly approached and handed his mother a long silk.I stretched my neck to look, and it turned out that it was the resumes of the scholars in the field and their family backgrounds within three generations. There was already a brief roster in front of my mother. According to the order of the seats, some names had been left in ink by my mother. , When the resume came, my mother looked it over again and changed a few places. I stared curiously at the place my mother had clicked, and looked according to the position. One line was drawn, the article was quite good, and the two that were praised by his father were left with ink spots.

When my mother saw me staring at the roster in her hand, she actually asked me to test: "Sis, what kind of official do these people think is better?"

Unexpectedly, I was asked such a question, and said softly, "I don't know."

My mother seemed to be in a good mood, moved some of the roster to me, and told me about these names and characters one by one, saying: "It's not an exam, no matter whether it's right or wrong, it's just a matter of trying to say it."

I tilted my head and thought for a while, and felt that since my mother asked "who is the official" rather than "whether to be an official", it is natural that these people should be appointed as officials.In all fairness, the literary talents of these dozen or so people are not bad, but they are far from the point where all of them can become Jinshi, let alone be officials.The reason why father and mother value them is mostly to be a virtuous corporal and to buy people's hearts. In this way, they should be given to noble officials with little real power, such as censor, school secretary, secretary Zhengzi, Zhuo Lang, Wei Zuo, etc. And so on, wait for them to experience a few years, and then depending on their ability, they can be promoted or dismissed.I told my mother what I thought, but when she nodded approvingly, she asked me again: "Then what do you think, who should be an official?"

Encouraged, I continued to think about it, and after a while, I drew out the names that my mother had asked me to pay special attention to, and said: "These people are really old-fashioned, and they are full of joy and anger, so we can't let them be censors." " Such an irritable and old-fashioned person is a censor, and he faces the serious emperor all day long. His mother is in charge of his father's administration. In today's era, he is a "rooster in charge of the morning". Wouldn't he be punished? Are these people annoying?

Mother asked: "Is it just that you don't want to be a censor?"

I scratched my head, and honestly said: "I really can't think of it." Then I pulled my mother and said: "Mother, tell me."

My mother didn't answer me, but turned her head to my father and said: "Sanlang, I think these people are quite upright, you can try to be the crown prince's orthography. Those two articles are good, you can choose to be the secretary's orthography. Others can try the school secretary. .”

Father was discussing new songs with Uncle Xu, when his mother called him, he turned his head and said without thinking, "It's up to you."
