Chapter 7 General Fu
Chapter 7 General Fu
On the sixth day of the sixth month of the Gengzi year, this day is the time for the children's hospital examination in Lefeng Township, Oujian County, Min County, China. The place of the examination in Lefeng Township is the Education Department next to the township. At this moment, although it is just past the moment, which is equivalent to 5:15 a.m., the door of the Education Department is already full of children who come to take the exam.
The Education Department of Lefeng Township covers an area of nearly 10 mu. Except for the office and township school in the front, the back is full of examination rooms separated by wooden boards and curtains, with more than 300 small spaces separated by wooden boards. And those children who come to take the exam have to stay in such a small space for a day, eating, drinking and drinking in it.
At this moment, Li Hua and other children from Lijia Village are queuing at the gate of the Education Department. Although the college examination is only the first threshold for selecting talents in China's imperial examination system, it is also subject to a strict body search before it is allowed to enter the examination room.
Suddenly, the examiner who was searching found the outline of the scriptures from the cracks of a child's clothes. Despite Tongsheng's plea, the servants on both sides drove him out, cancelled his qualification to participate in the hospital examination, and recorded that even the next college examination was cancelled.
After this change, the originally noisy children were also much quieter and waited patiently to search.
Looking at the long team in front of him, Li Hua is already impatient. Today, they all got up at four o'clock, but by the time they got to the door of the Education Department, it was already full of people and lined up. Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Li Hua slightly estimated that nearly 300 children came from seven miles and eight townships to participate in the hospital examination this time. According to what Li Bai told him, there are generally only 200 people, and this trial of the hospital is relatively large.
However, this hospital examination is to select the top ten among the nearly 300 children as the scholar of this hospital examination, and the first one is called the head of the crime. Three hundred to ten, that is, one-thirtieth chance. Although this probability still sounds quite high, there are still many children who can't pass the hurdles in their lives.
Because the college examination is carried out by the supervision of the county education department in a township-based period of time, the number of participants is generally two or three hundred people each time. The papers of these two hundred people are reviewed by officials such as the inspector and the director of the township education department, so they can generally be released in two to three days.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally Li Hua's turn. Li Yan was at the front, first handed over the letter of recommendation written by Li Bai to the auditing officials, and then began to search one by one.
During the search, Li Hua found a general in armor standing behind the search official, who did not angrily supervise the whole process of the search. Li Hua remembered what his father Li Bai said to himself when he came back from the county. He said that Wang Zigui, the inspector sent to the trial, was originally a military general with both literature and martial arts. Originally, he was guarding the border and fighting on the battlefield, but because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's favor with the imperial concubine De and abandoned the government, the emperor asked to put Defei into the cold palace. As a result, he provoked the people of Defei's party and was framed and demoted here to become the inspector of Oujian County.
After searching, Li Hua took his brand number and came to his seat, closed his eyes to refresh himself, and quietly waited for the time to start the exam.
At about eight o'clock, all the candidates were finally searched and arranged, and the hospital examination officially began. To be honest, Li Hua was also a little nervous. For the first time, he used a brush to answer the exam, and he still got these pure Confucian things.
As early as when he was studying in the school, Li Bai had already introduced the examination form of the college examination. It is mainly divided into three categories: Moyi, scriptures and poetry. Moyi is a simple question and answer question about scriptures and annotations. In a paper, there are often as many as 30 to 50 such questions. According to Li Hua's understanding, it is actually the translation topic and explain the content of the scriptures. As for pasting scriptures, it is equivalent to filling in the blanks and dictation of modern poetry scrolls. The examiner chose a page from the scriptures and printed one line on the test paper. According to this line of text, candidates should fill in the context related to it.
The most important thing is poetry. The first two items are based on rote memorization, mainly to examine Tong Sheng's scripture skills. And what really reflects the level gap between children is poetry. Tongsheng needs to write long poems or verses according to the scope of the topics given.
After the test paper was issued, Li Hua was very impatient to answer the Moyi and post scriptures one by one. In the past, when he watched those ancient costume dramas, he always wondered why it took a whole day or even a few days to take a imperial examination. Isn't it just a paper? Today, he finally knows the reason, which is the brush in his hand. The ancients did not have pens, pencils, ballpoint pens and carbon pens. They always used this soft brush to write articles and exams.
Although Li Hua admitted that the words written with a brush are indeed very artistic, the key point is that writing slowly with a brush. In response to dozens of translation questions and dozens of silent questions, Li Hua wrote with a brush that he was about to vomit blood.
After struggling for most of the day, I finally finished answering the previous Moyi and post scriptures one by one, leaving the last and most critical poem. Li Hua looked carefully at the title and suddenly remembered the general supervisor he saw when he searched his body. At the moment of inspiration, he immediately wrote a "General's Fu" in one go:
"General Fu
Cangyan's sideburns hair shoulder armor, angry killing, flying horse. Jin Ge is ruthless. He has drunk hundreds of blood, swings his whips and gallops. And why? White hair on the temples!
The beach Gobi, the ruins and broken tiles, the most eye-catching, a few old and broken armor. Rusty and mottled, roaring against the wind. It's more like that, hundreds of soldiers are so sad!
Fight the enemy in the north and be loyal to the future. Fight against thousands of generals, and loyal advice is rare to laugh at the princes. The strong man died with a cavity of blood. The prince died, and there was no peace in the country. The war in the frontier was weak, and the dynasty became confused. I hate the old age today. If I return to those years, even if I sacrifice myself to take it, I will also break with the power of a sword!
Sad rivers and mountains, thousands of miles beautiful, poor and luxurious women!"
Li Hua quickly finished writing this "General's Fu", but his hand holding the pen became heavy. Thinking of the experience of Wang Zigui, the invigilator, Li Hua's heart seemed to be blocked by something.
sighed, Li Hua thought that if he had the ability in the future, he would definitely change the face of this feudal dynasty in the alien world.
Now that he has answered all the questions, Li Hua doesn't want to stay here. Because the children have to stay in it for a day, there is a toilet in every small space for convenience. Naturally, the smell of this examination room certainly smells bad. Anyway, after answering, Li Hua left his seat with his paper and handed it to Wang Zigui, the general inspector who was on patrol.
Wang Zigui was very surprised that the child in front of him should be less than ten years old. He came to take the hospital examination and finished it so soon. He gently turned Li Hua's test paper over to the part of the poem. After taking a glance, Wang Zigui was even more stunned and said softly, "Sad rivers and mountains, thousands of miles are beautiful, poor and luxurious women!" After that, he looked at Li Hua's back with great admiration.
Li Hua, who left early, did not know that his back had just been looked at so affectionately by an iron-blooded man. As soon as he walked out of the door of the Education Department, Li Hua saw the dark crowd outside. These are the parents who are waiting for their children to finish the exam. Seeing this scene, Li Hua couldn't help recalling that when he took the college entrance examination in his previous life, others were all accepted by their parents and waited outside the examination room worriedly. But I am alone every time. I didn't expect that after coming to a different world, although I had parents, I still had to go in and out of the examination room alone.
"Li Hua, Li Hua!" Just as Li Hua sighed, he heard someone calling his name. At a glance, it turned out to be Uncle Li, the village head.
How's it going? Have you finished the exam? Why haven't Li Yan and his four cubs come out yet!" When Uncle Li saw Li Hua coming out alone in the whole examination room, he couldn't help asking strangely.
"Well... I finished the exam first and came out." Li Hua was also a little moved to see Uncle Li waiting for him outside.
"Then go back to the grocery store first, and I'll wait for them here!" As soon as Li Hua was moved, Uncle Li actually asked him to go back alone first.
Depressed Li Hua had to cross his waist and walk back to the grocery store by himself, humming a children's song: "I'm going to school. I won't be late every day. Birds send it to me. Early in the morning, why do you carry a small schoolbag..."
