Nightfall Chapter 74: That spring, I cut the peach blossoms to one catty (three)
In the spring of Chapter 74, I cut the peach blossoms to one catty (three)
Because of having a very hard life since childhood, Ning Que is very good at controlling emotions, or at pitifully suppressing inner emotions, turning the night into sunlight and appearing on his face, which rarely hurts the spring and the sadness of the autumn. The earthly picture, but today he entered the academy and entered the examination room, looking at Tao Xing outside the window, listening to words such as comprehensive mathematics and other words around him, he couldn't help thinking about the hard work of the cold and heat continuous double study of arts and science. career.
However, it is fortunate to have those hard-working careers. This question on the ink scroll is not difficult for him. After the answer flashed in his heart, he couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "This question is too much for him. Mom is second, right?"
It's really two, because the answer is two.
Ning Queyun rubbed his wrist with ink and dipped his pen, and wrote his answer on the paper very carefully: "The Master drank two pots of wine and cut all the peach blossoms."
In the distance from the pavilion, the man looked at the black and white pawns on the chessboard, stretched his right hand in the air and kept playing, as if playing the piano or playing the spring breeze, suddenly his index finger paused slightly , With this action, a matte black piece jumped out of the chess urn beside the chessboard and landed on the chessboard with a snap, just at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines.
As the leader of the South Gate of the Haotian Road and the national teacher of the Datang Empire, it is not surprising that Li Qingshan played such a hand in a relaxed manner. What is strange is that his brows are frowning at this time, as if facing the opposite monk. Some fear.
The monk, who is known as Huang Yang, is now based in Wanyan Pagoda Temple in the South City of Chang'an. Rumor has it that this man once went to an unknown place in the wasteland and was able to practice supreme Buddhism. A few years ago, he met the emperor of Tang Dynasty by chance. He became brothers inside and outside the threshold, and from then on he had the name of a great Tang imperial brother, but this monk practiced asceticism and sat in the Wanyan Pagoda to recite the scriptures, and rarely interacted with people outside the temple.
Monk Huang Yang looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard quietly, blinking slowly, a white chess piece slowly rose from the chess urn, slowly came to the chessboard, and then fell slowly, without making any The slightest sound is extremely soft. Baizi dropped his gaze somewhere, and didn't see how he moved. He just shifted his gaze and a black chess piece that had been eaten moved out of the chessboard. There were already seven or eight pieces.
Da Tang Guoshi played chess with the imperial brother, naturally no one dared to step forward and disturb. Those little monk trails were all far away from the side of the road, and there was no chance to see the game between these two masters, otherwise if they were to see it like this The wonderful picture will surely be amazed.
Li Qingshan looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, shook his head, and turned: "Your Majesty is in the palace, so there is one person left. When your Majesty leaves the palace, there are two waiting. This is the rule since when ? Who in this world dares to do unpredictable things to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty? What's more, your Majesty is going to the academy today. Could anyone dare to make trouble in the academy?"
Huang Yang smiled slightly, looked at him and said: "I don't know."
Li Qingshan said in a daze: "You should have heard about Chao Xiaoshu? It's a pity that if he could advance to the realm of fate more than ten years ago, why would we two guys have to follow your majesty as bodyguards every day. "
Huang Yang shook his head and replied: "If you don't have these years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and you have the opportunity to see the lake in the palace, you will be enlightened by this. Even if you are extremely wise, who dares to say that you will know fate?"
Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "In those years, you should have been cutting wood and burning fire in that temple, so I don’t know the specific situation. Chao Xiaoshuben has the opportunity to be admitted to the academy. With his talents, he will be able to enter the second floor. He was able to enter the second floor and was fortunate to have the master personally order it. What is the difficulty of getting to know the fate?"
Huang Yang was silent for a long time, and said softly: "If you can enter the academy and be enlightened by the master, that would be a blessing indeed."
Li Qingshan looked at his clean face, and suddenly laughed at himself and said: "The ruling and the people said that you and I, Qingshan and Huangyang, don’t meet each other, so how can we know that we and the academy are really unable to meet."
The two monks in the pavilion are the guardians of the orthodox mountain gate of Buddhism and the leader of the south gate of Haotian Road. No matter what they think in their hearts, their status and status are destined to not step into the academy, just like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty leading the ministers today Participating in the opening ceremony of the academy, this pair of the most respected outsiders in the Datang Empire can only sit quietly and play chess in the distance.
"When will the Master leave?"
"I will leave Chang'an after school starts."
"Master is working hard."
Huang Yang and Shang Jing looked at the national teacher Li Qingshan and said: "I still want to know how tall the Master is."
After being silent for a long time, Li Qingshan said: "Master Xian once said that Master is as high as several stories."
Monk Huang Yang was startled slightly, a sincere smile slowly floated on his face, and then his lips opened slightly, but there was a sigh. The sigh was like a spring breeze over the willows. It didn’t mean that: "The second floor is already very It’s taller, the master is actually as high as several floors...that’s really tall."
In the morning literary examination, after the mathematics course is over, there will be calligraphy and etiquette courses. Ning Que, who was also complacent and proud, was immediately dumbfounded-Sangsang's worries are very reasonable, and he is busy all day long. Eating hot and sour noodles and fried egg noodles, going to Hongxiuzhao to chat with the girl, and going to Chunfeng Pavilion under the rain to kill the Quartet. I am sad about the poor young man who has earned a few taels of silver today and can hold a few legs tomorrow. It’s useless to memorize the real questions of the admission test, and it’s useless to memorize it. The guy who has lived in the mountains and grasslands for many years, where can those things happen, if you want him to dictate too much induction, there’s no problem at all, but nothing else. No need to think about it.
Ning Que didn’t intend to be a blank hero. He was too pretending, just like the imperial brother of the National Teacher outside the academy. So he honestly changed his pen and took two copies very seriously. The test papers were filled from beginning to end. As for whether the content of the answer and the question had anything to do with it, that was not within his scope of consideration. He only wanted the beautiful and neat curls to allow the college teachers to give some sympathy and compassion points.
In the process of answering the question, he also moved a little bit more carefully, because he knew that his only advantage in these two subjects was probably that the writing was much better than others, so he started with mathematics Put it on top of the pen and ink, and... he deliberately used the lower case of the hairpin that he wrote the least.
The use of small letters with hairpins is not to hide anything, well, it is indeed to hide his gender. I want the teacher to think that the owner of this test paper is a beautiful idiot, an official lady who is good at the book, so I can give something unspeakable fraction.
The bell rang again, and the literary examination was over. Ning Que walked out of the examination room with some interest, spreading his hands to Sangsang, who was full of expectation, showing an innocent expression, and accompanied him to find him. Hastily ate the lunch prepared by the dining academy, and then began to prepare for the afternoon martial arts test.
Ning Que was extremely confident about the three Le She Yu exams in the afternoon, so facing the ardent gazes of the academy's teaching and etiquette examiners and the room full of musical instruments, he did not hesitate to choose... .
I’m not a luthier in the Red Sleeve Trick. I don’t know how to draw the strings and flute. He was annoyed at thinking about these **** words. With the crowd of candidates, he walked to the big lawn outside the college. I don’t know when on the lawn. Bringing dozens of horses in the army, the principal officer from the military department stood aside, looking at the students indifferently or eagerly or pale.
Archery is archery, while Yuke is free to choose whether to ride a horse or drive a car. Ning Que certainly chooses to ride a horse. He has been dealing with horses and arrow feathers all these years on the Weicheng grassland, and I believe he will be no worse than anyone.
Beside the lawn in the distance, Sangsang, holding a **** umbrella, clenched his small fists to encourage him.
He smiled, cheered and walked to the room.
When the candidates participating in the admission test were taking the last three martial arts tests, in an open and clear room of the college, the teachers were gathering in one place to review and grade the three subjects in the morning. Most of the teachings were already gray-haired. I don’t know how many times I have experienced such scenes, I will naturally not be nervous, holding a teapot with a cigarette stick, leisurely strolling, from time to time, I will score and I will chat with my peers from time to time. Some teachers comment on the difficulty of the test paper today:
"This year's admission test was given by the senior brother. It is naturally not too difficult for him to have a mild temper. If the second senior brother is the same as the previous issue, who knows if there will be a large number of people crying in the examination room today? "
"It's all about the etiquette and book subjects. The mathematics subject is purely to give points. Everyone knows that Master, his old man is addicted to alcohol, and half of a pot is turned into a drop. Does the master still have to be a swordsman? That drop of wine was cut in half? There are still so many test-takers answering such a simple mathematics question. I really don’t know how their brains do it!"
An instructor asked curiously: "It's not easy to say that it is simple, but what I am more concerned about is how many pots of wine did the Master drank when he went to the country to travel and first entered the Mount Xiling? How many catties of peach blossoms were cut?" /
Someone laughed and said: "The Master drank seven pots of wine that spring, and he wiped out all the peach blossoms on the Mount Xiling."
"However, there is a legend that the one who drank in the past was the master, and the one who pulled out the peach blossoms in Xiling was another person. It was the little master who traveled with the master. I also feel that the master is elegant, or the little master is violent. More appropriate."
Mentioned the three characters "Little Master and Uncle", the teachers were silent for a while before returning to normal. Someone said with a smile: "But the peach trees on the lawn of our college were planted by the master himself. Those in Xiling Haotian Temple Every time an old Taoist priest comes, his face is worse than that of a dead mother. I really think the Master is very bad!"
The college teachers in the scoring room laughed and mocked the world's most sacred Xiling Temple. For them, it seemed to be a routine entertainment activity, and the laughter seemed very arrogant.
It must be said that the academy in the south of Chang'an is really a wonderful place.
Gradually, the teachers stopped laughing and began to concentrate on scoring the papers. One of the teachers looked at the ink scroll in his hand and read out: "The master drank two pots of wine and cut all the peach blossoms... the answer is correct. I was there before. I’ve noticed that this candidate named Ning Que answered the fastest and can be included in the first class."
"Class A has no objection, but I have a question, why did the examinee answer the second pot of wine but not the two pots of wine?"
"Or is this his personal habit? Or is there something about this word? It's really puzzling."
