The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 34



Chapter 34:

“How about the exam?” Zhao Zhao asked with his hands behind his back, “Is the time tight?”

Ling Wei nodded: “It’s very nervous. Especially when it is too late to transcribe, I feel hungry, so I have to stop and go get food first. If there are more questions and more difficult questions in the township examination, I am worried about the draft. I’m hungry before I finish writing. If I don’t write the article in one go, I’m afraid it will affect the continuity of the article.”

Zhao Zhao: “…”

Ling Wei: “So the students thought, first steam some small steamed buns before answering the papers, which can be bite by one, and keep them warm on a low heat. When you are hungry, you can uncover them and eat them without staining the test papers. After you finish writing the draft, you can cook, take a nap after you are full, and be full of energy, then revise the article, and finally transcribe it. This way you will have more time.”

Zhao Zhao: “…”

Ling Wei: “Students believe that if the difficulty and volume of questions are doubled, and the draft is transcribed, it is estimated that it will have to be written after noon. It is better to slow down and put the draft and transcription in the morning and afternoon respectively, and have plenty of time. some.”

Zhao Zhao: “Wait, the township examination is different from the hospital exam! The township exam is three days in one subject!”

Ling Wei: “Yes, then I don’t have to cook on the first day, so I don’t need to interrupt my thoughts, so I just steamed the buns… During the rural test, the corn, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes were all mature. Steamed corn, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes are also good. Eat something good in the remaining two days.”

Zhao Zhao: “…Besides food, can you think of anything else?”

Ling Wei: “…Indeed, the next two days will definitely be difficult. But if you bring other things, it will be considered cheating, right? What advice does the teacher have?”

Zhao Zhao: “…you can finish the test paper in less than a day.”

Ling Wei: “The teacher is right. The student wrote the draft on the first day, and revised and transcribed it on the second day. After sleeping, they might have different perceptions.”

Zhao Zhao feels that it is hard to say whether it is heart-stuffed or heart-happy. How can he really want to give himself this proud disciple twice?

“Anyway, in no hurry, Jintang can write the draft on the first day, revise it on the second day, and see what can be revised on the third day, and make a copy after revising it again. In this way, there will be something to do for three days.” Zhao Guiqiang smiled. .

Ling Wei nodded: “That’s it.”

So you… Zhao Zhao is even more heartbroken.

But he couldn’t tell where he was stuck.

“Just… so let’s.” Zhao Zhao waved his hand to let Ling Wei get out. Looking at him again, Zhao Zhao really couldn’t help knocking him on the head.

“Oh, Jintang, you are not kind.” Zhao Gui went out of the study with Ling Wei and said, “Since you are so good at cooking, why don’t you show both hands to your brother?”

“Didn’t you say that the gentleman is far from the kitchen? I am not afraid that you will laugh at me.” Ling Wei joked.

Zhao Gui smiled and said: “Mencius said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, and he is talking about a gentleman’s mentality that he can’t bear to kill. What does it have to do with not cooking?”

“Master is open-minded, and even while escaping and wandering, he did his best to make my life more comfortable with him. I can make many good wines and delicacies in accordance with local conditions and time. I have also learned a few hands, and many of them have been handed over to him. Fuzhong cook. I specialize in the art industry, and now cooks do much better than me. If my senior is interested, after the imperial examination, I will be the host. Please come to the house to have a big meal.” Ling Wei invited.

Zhao Gui smiled and said: “That’s a deal. Several of your other seniors will definitely lick their faces and beg for food, so don’t turn us away when the time comes.”

“Brother can still afford a meal.” Ling Wei sighed, “I just have to wait after the imperial examination. No wonder so many people drive crazy every year in the examination room, the pressure is really great.”

Zhao Gui: “…”

Junior brother, you can still think about what to eat in the examination room, where is the pressure? Is it okay to be in an examination room with you, and people who smell the scent of your food are stressed? Do you know that this incident has spread, even your brother and I have been teased by several colleagues!

Forget it, this is also the ability of the junior brother. It has always been the youngest, so when he has a younger brother, Zhao Gui, who treats the younger brother as his own brother’s favorite, thinks with joy.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Perhaps when he was trying, Ling Wei’s reputation had already spread. Therefore, when Ling Wei came into the examination room with large and small bags of ingredients during the re-examination, the officials in charge of inspecting the candidates could not help but pay attention to Ling Wei.

And when someone found that they were close to Ling Wei’s seat, they couldn’t help but show a desperate look.

Originally, the pressure was even greater, but when I was eating dry food, scratching my head and scratching my cheeks, I smelled the delicious food, which not only evoked the gluttons in my stomach, but also thought that someone had already answered the test paper. After the fiddle and eat, the mood becomes even more irritable.

Almost all examinees who have heard of Ling Wei’s deeds in the examination room have always believed that the location of the examination is near Ling Wei, which is the most **** position.

I remembered that in the previous exam, a candidate was driven crazy because he couldn’t answer the test paper, and the exam compartment was completely smashed. Although the examinee was “invited” to go out, the smell of the overturned toilet remained for a long time, and the people around were tortured.

The position around Ling Wei is the same as the position around the overturned toilet.

If Ling Wei knows, he doesn’t know what kind of mood it is.

However, he is still very relaxed now.

With the experience of the first exam, Ling Wei felt that this exam was just like that. Compared with the college entrance examination, the middle school entrance examination and the postgraduate examination, there is simply ample time to be boring. And the environment is also good, you can also make your own food. If it were not for the bad surroundings, it would be nice to have a picnic.

During the retest, Ling Wei’s thoughts on answering questions became smoother because he was more relaxed. And he planned what to eat during the exam in advance, so even if he was hungry when answering the questions, he would not be distracted by lunch and dinner, and he would concentrate a lot of attention.

At least he himself was very satisfied with his answer this time and felt that it was more perfect than the regular test.

At the end of the final exam, Ling Wei ate the fat but not greasy Dongpo meat, accompanied by the fragrant rice, which was very pleasant.

Well, even if you don’t get the case leader this time, you have accumulated experience, and there are a few exams left, and you won’t be stage fright.

The invigilator couldn’t help but “passed” in front of Ling Wei for the third time, thinking in his heart that the lower court exam was over, and he couldn’t invigorate the country exam or anything. There was no need to avoid suspicion, and he and Zhao Jijiu also had a lot of things. Divorced, licking his face and asked Ling Wei what he ate during these exams. Is it always okay?

How can Ling Wei come up with food that he has never seen before? !

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The grading officers gathered in front of a test paper.

The five scoring officers are not always friendly, they are always there when they are arguing for the evaluation of a test paper. It’s really rare to have such a neat look nowadays.

“My colleagues, what’s wrong?” The examiner Lin Xuezheng came over curiously.

“It’s nothing, it’s not the one.” Fu Hong sighed, “Even as a scoring officer, I still can’t help being jealous.”

“This handwriting, even if the name is muddled, I know who wrote it.” Qian Shiguang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Other students try to imitate everyone’s handwriting as much as possible, one is more beautiful, and the other is worried about the examiner’s favoritism.

Although Ling Wei’s characters are unique, they are also in italics, integrating the styles of several former calligraphers. Ling Wei only left ink marks in the Zhuangyuan Building twice, but was quickly taken away, and his calligraphy has made rapid progress. If it were not for his teacher, it is estimated that he would not have recognized who wrote it.

But the other examiners just recognized it.

Because Ling Wei is the only one who finishes all the Jingyi test papers. When the paper is handed in, the examiner who collects the paper will take the lead in checking the cleanliness of the paper before sealing it (in front of the examinee, if the surface of the paper is dirty, it will be directly marked on the cover, so as to avoid the scoring official’s personal fraud, deliberately Dirty the test taker’s paper). So when the examiner came back, he said, Ling Wei was good, and the test papers were all finished.

And they corrected so many test papers, only to see one test paper with a full answer.

What’s more surprising is that Ling Wei not only answered all of them, but also all of them were correct.

They understand how many questions they have made themselves, and how many of them are and how detailed they are. Even if the accuracy of some filling events reaches the month, you still need to memorize the entire article and calculate it based on the context.

If it wasn’t for the test questions, only they themselves knew, and if they didn’t know that this person was Ling Wei, they even suspected that someone had leaked the test questions.

And once you know that the test paper is Ling Wei, then Ling Wei’s handwriting is very easy to recognize.

If it was the first time that the Jingyi exam papers made them dubious about Ling Wei’s talent, then for the next few exams, they even wanted to move their exam papers home and store them.

Ling Weishan’s poems have been heard a long time ago, and his poems really live up to his reputation. And its historical theory and policy theory are also very impressive. Yan Jin’s arguments for the policy and the richness of what he said made them amazed by the examiners.

It is said that Ling Wei traveled overseas with Master Xianren, and his experience is very rich. Seeing it now, it really deserves its reputation.

And the Pian Fu of historical theory, let alone its arguments, just by the gorgeous writing style, let people read it.

The examiners have their own preferences, some like the gorgeous writing and the contrast of words and sentences; some like the simple writing and the words. And Ling Wei not only has something to say, but his writing style is also very gorgeous. There are many wonderful sentences in the article, enough to make the world praise.

Everyone knows that in the scientific expedition, he was originally very capable, and he could get five or six points, which is already incredible. After all, wonderful essays need emotion and inspiration, and the examination room has fixed propositions, time constraints, and even huge psychological pressure. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been almost no good poems and essays in scientific research.

And Ling Wei’s test papers for every exam are amazing.

After saying the content, say that hand.

Zhao Jijiu asked Ling Wei to prepare for the exam. Some people praised him for practicing calligraphy, but many people ridiculed him.

Some people say that Zhao Jijiu is too arrogant, and others say whether Ling Wei’s handwriting is too unsightly.

However, now that they saw Ling Wei’s words, they knew what Zhao Jijiu meant.

This is not because Ling Wei wrote badly, but too well. Many of them are still imitating the calligraphy of their predecessors, only to get the shape, but when they can’t find the charm, Ling Wei already has his own style and tends to be small.

Even if the handwriting of other examinees is correct, it can be seen that it is impetuous; some examinees may not have enough time, and the handwriting is slightly sloppy.

And Ling Wei’s test paper, like a calligraphy work, was taken out and hung on the wall, and everyone praised it.

At this time, these examiners understood why Zhao Jijiu’s uncharacteristically ‘show off” his apprentices, and why Ding Shilang also uncharacteristically expressed his sourness towards Zhao Jijiu.

Even if they were examiners, they couldn’t help feeling sour towards Ling Wei and Zhao Jijiu.

To Ling Wei’s sourness is sour his talent. Obviously less than four years ago, I was ridiculed by people as being illiterate. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a university asking people;

The sourness of Zhao Jijiu is sour eyes. At that time, many people laughed at Zhao Jijiu’s acceptance of such an illiterate apprentice, but now, this apprentice is enough to push Zhao Jijiu’s reputation to unprecedented heights.

Ling Wei’s talent is destined to be famous all over the world, and even stay in Danqing. As Ling Wei’s teacher, Zhao Jijiu can certainly make a strong mark in the history books.

Ling Wei became the first place in the trial without any suspense. Under the premise that the personal style is so revealing, no matter which examiner knows who the test paper is, it is impossible even for some people to make a bit bad.

Everyone’s eyes are watching.

And it has long been heard that Ling Wei was loved by the emperor. The emperor will definitely read his test papers afterwards. The excellent test paper makes people unable to suppress it even if they want to. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is the top of the list.

No wonder Ling Wei is only a child, some people speculate that he will become the first triad and the first person in this dynasty.

If nothing else, Ling Wei has this talent, and San Yuan and Di are indeed not considered flowers in the mirror.

Then when they inquired about Ling Wei’s performance in the examination room, they knew that he had finished answering the test paper early, and the delicious food made was an interesting anecdote that made the invigilator even more complicated.

My heart is extremely helpless.

This man is so good, he is really jealous.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When answering the questions in the re-examination, even though they were mentally prepared, when they saw Ling Wei’s full score again on the Jingyi test paper, the few people were still speechless for a long time.

If it was the first time that Ling Wei might have some luck, he happened to have seen all the sources of the questions. And the second time it was full full marks, it had to be guessed, and it was so broad. They even suspected that Ling Wei was not only Guang, but even memorized them all. If so, it looks a bit scary.

In this history, the genius and evildoer will appear once every 100 years. Isn’t Ling Wei the proud son of this generation?

“It’s a pity that I can’t take it home.” Lin Xuezheng sighed, “If you ask the emperor, I don’t know how likely it is to withhold his test papers.

? ”

“I really want to give it a try.” Qian Shiguang stroked his beard and said, “Even if it doesn’t work, let Ling Wei rewrite a reference poem.”

The examiners’ eyes lit up. It makes sense. Can’t keep the exam papers, let Ling Wei write a new assembly, right? It’s just that you have to ask His Majesty the emperor first. After all, even if the candidates’ answers are leaked after the exam, they will be criticized. If His Majesty the Emperor agrees, they will come to the door.

“Then let the old man go and explain to your majesty.” Lin Xuezheng looked down at Ling Wei’s thin and straight handwriting, and thoughts flashed in his eyes.

I heard that Ling Wei was so favored by the emperor.

Anyway, he is telling the truth.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei was still a little nervous while waiting for the results. He couldn’t help but ate two more bowls of rice on the day of the rankings. As a result, he was panicked and Zhao Zhao gave him a good meal.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhao was very satisfied with his results, otherwise Ling Wei would inevitably suffer a thud.

Ling Wei was not surprised, and was naturally the case leader. In the previous county examination, Ling Wei said that although he took the exam for young children, his score was also the first.

The county test house test house test is the first, also known as the small three yuan. Ling Wei can also be regarded as a small three yuan.

Ling Wei and everyone who cared about Ling Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the small three yuan, then the distance from the three yuan and the third, it seems that it is not so far away.

And as the reputation of Ling Wei Xiaosanyuan spread, there was also the unanimous super-high evaluation of his scoring officer.

His poems have not yet been published, and it is not easy for everyone to comment, but just because Ling Wei’s re-examination is all correct, people are shocked.

And when Ling Wei’s previous examiner revealed that Ling Wei’s previous county and government examinations only took the Jingyi, but they were all correct, which made Ling Wei seem to have a halo, and he was admired and worshipped wherever he went.

There are even scholars who want to take the initiative to ask Ling Wei for advice, but they suffer from the fact that Ling Wei lives close to the imperial city, which is not accessible to ordinary people.

Ling Wei’s wish to brush his name was half realized. The remaining half, when he reaches the third level, it is estimated that it will be almost the same.

Then he just needs to consolidate it.

But it is not yet time for him to relax, it will be Qiu Wei in a few months. Now that the reputation is getting more and more prosperous, if Qiuwei’s test is smashed, the fall will be worse.

While Ling Wei continued to prepare for the exam, his poems and essays had already flowed out and spread all over the streets.

Then Qin Lou Chu Hall has new lyrics and music to sing.

It is said that several reviewers have played together that Ling Wei’s poems and essays are beautiful enough to be handed down to the world, and I hope that Ling Wei’s examination papers can be published in an exceptional way, so as to prevent such excellent works from being buried in the archives.

Several officials of the Ministry of Etiquette also agreed, thinking that there were excellent works in the previous examinations. Why not publish the top three test papers for each examination to the world, so that people can learn from their excellence and show the fairness of the examination.

The emperor can play.

Therefore, Ling Wei’s top three test papers for this year’s hospital examination were released together with the previous session and the top three test papers for the palace examination, and they were printed… for sale.

It is said that the bookstore was opened by the emperor, so all the money it earned went into the emperor’s personal pocket.

And Ling Wei’s words, along with his test papers, became popular.

Some people commented that Ling Wei’s calligraphy was written with the painting method, the pen and ink borders were removed, and the lines were like orchids and bamboos, and the sound of wind and rain was made. Although there is still an immature beginning, but the first glimpse of its charm.

Ling Wei’s font has become more popular with his reputation, and some people have even begun to copy his font.

When Ling Wei’s prestige is getting higher and higher, it is conceivable that the day when Ling Wei is named as a master of calligraphy is not far away.

But if someone praises it, someone must slander it.

I don’t know when, there is a kind of remark, Ling Wei’s answer, all the full marks, it is incredible, and very human, and there should be no tricks.

It’s just that this kind of remarks are still rumors hidden in the praise, and they are not taken seriously.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“A person who is not hated by others is a mediocre person, and it is normal to have slander.” When Ling Wei learned that, he just laughed.

“I will send someone to check the source, it is always good to prevent micro-duplications.” Li Yin felt that this rumor was not simple.

Ling Wei couldn’t help laughing: “If someone really wants to spread rumors and want to black out me, he will jump out after all of my remaining Scripture exams are correct.”

Li Yin was curious: “Jintang seems very sure.”

This is talent, Ling Wei said in his heart.

“Copy the book hundreds of times, and its meaning is self-evident.” Ling Wei pointed to the brush on his case, “I practice more than just words.”

Li Ying knew it.

He naturally saw Ling Wei’s hard work.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Ling Wei was able to get everything right every time.

As Ling Wei said, all the books he has read have been copied by hand. Especially the Scripture, don’t say it a hundred times, there are hundreds of times. Li Ying remembered that when Ling Wei was still practicing calligraphy with a brush dipped in the water of the water tank, he could already write the Four Books and Five Classics silently. After reading a book in the palace and returning home, Ling Wei would silently write down the books he had read.

Ling Wei was treated badly when he separated, and there were almost no precious books. Now Ling Wei’s rows of bookshelves are full of rare and rare books, all of which he wrote silently at home after reading it from the palace library.

It can be seen that when Ling Wei said that he copied the book hundreds of times, its meaning is self-evident, it is not a false statement.

“If he could stand up at that time, I would be very happy.” Ling Wei blinked and said slyly, “At that time, please ask the king to play your majesty and let me confront him openly. The more people onlookers, the better. As long as there are as many people as possible. He reads the first half of the test question, and I promise to memorize it to him in its entirety.”

With strength, it’s just so confident.

“That’s natural.” Seeing Ling Wei’s confidence, Li Yin no longer worried. He knew that although Ling Wei sometimes had a temperament, he would not make promises that he couldn’t make.

Since Ling Wei said yes, it must be possible.

Li Yin also faintly expected that the person behind would stand up and accuse Ling Wei.

That scene will be very exciting.
