Xu Jin hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Xu Jin has seen Zhao Jiaoxi. ”

This Zhao Jiaoxi is about thirty or forty years old, the heavenly court is full of square pavilions, dignified appearance, elegant temperament, always smiling, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhao Jiaoxi smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I heard that Xiao Xu and Fei Ge Lao Xin River are on the side of the river, and the wonderful couplings are frequent, and now when I see it, it is really a talent, and it is beautiful and beautiful, no wonder I can say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge." ”

Zhao Jiaoxi's surname is Zhao Mingyun, the word Mengyang, is also a person from Leadshan County, Zhengde six years of Jinshi, and Fei Hong's younger brother Fei Cai is the same year Jinshi, and he is a close friend.

Yesterday, the Fei family arrived by boat, and Zhao Yun also went to greet him, and he chatted with Fei Cai for a long time last night, during which Fei Cai mentioned Xu Jin and praised him, so Zhao Yun had a very good impression of Xu Jin. At this time, when I saw Xu Jin himself, he was handsome, elegant and calm, and his eyes were bright and bright, so he was even more impressed.

Xu Jin hurriedly said modestly: "Zhao Jiaoxi praised it falsely, and the student's casual fabrication should not be so praised." ”

Zhao Jiaoxi nodded secretly, Zihe (Fei Cai's words) said that this son is calm and practiced, which is very inconsistent with his age, and now when he sees that this is the case, he stroked his short beard and smiled: "Fang Jiaoxi is upright and upright, it is estimated that there is some misunderstanding, Xiao Xu and follow me into the academy, I will ask him to understand." ”

Xu Jin hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and followed Zhao Jiaoxi into the academy with the Fei brothers.

Xinjiang College covers a large area and provides dormitories for current students, and most of the students live in the college for the convenience of studying.

It is worth mentioning here that there are three ways to enter Xinjiang Academy, the first is to pass the college's annual unified entrance examination; The second is to pay a high price for admission; The third is the excellent students recommended by acquaintances.

Of course, having an acquaintance's recommendation also has to go through the assessment, but it is not so strict, and there is no limit to the admission time, for example, Xu Jin is the third type, and you can report when you take the letter of recommendation.

Zhao Yun brought Xu Jin and the others to Yile Hall (equivalent to the Academic Affairs Office), and at this time, only one teacher was resting in Yile Hall, and everyone else went to teach.

"Teacher Fang is teaching here, Xiao Xu will sit for a while, no need to be tight." Zhao Yundao.

Xu Jin smiled and nodded, but did not sit down, this realization is still there, as a student, how can he sit in the academic affairs office, and when the pedantic and upright Fang Jiaoxi comes back, wouldn't he be even more displeased.

Zhao Jiaoxi saw that Xu Jin refused to sit and was not forced to be strong, so he began to go through the admission procedures for the Fei brothers.

Zhao Jiaoxi first orally examined Fei Maoxian, which is equivalent to a kind of interview, and he felt that he could be registered as a student, as for Fei Mao's talent and fame, he was even exempted from study, so he directly wrote his name on the student book and registered personal information.

Xu Jin watched from the sidelines, and had a rough idea in his heart, Zhao Jiaoxi's oral examination was to select a few sentences from the four books, and it was not very difficult, and it should be no problem for him to pass by himself.

After completing the enrollment procedures, the Fei brothers left for the lecture hall first, while Xu Jin continued to wait there.

Xu Jin stood and waited for half an hour, and when he was bored, the teacher came in with a handout, and when he saw Xu Jin, he suddenly had a black face, and shouted sternly: "How did you get in?" ”

Zhao Jiaoxi stood up and smiled: "Fang Jiaoxi, I let Xu Jin in, is there any misunderstanding between you?"

Fang Jiaoxi's old face darkened, and he said loudly: "Zhao Mengyang, a person who has no respect for his elders, sells ancestral fields, and is disloyal and unfilial, what are your intentions in bringing him in, do you want to ruin the old man's reputation?" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned his head to leave.

Xu Jin has a feeling that he is a dog, no matter how good his qi cultivation skills are, he can't help but be angry at this moment, but he is also secretly strange, how did this old man know that he sold his ancestral land?

Zhao Yun was angry by Fang Xingsheng, his face was red and white, and he said angrily: "Old man Fang is really unreasonable, unreasonable......

Zhao Yun was obviously also angry, and said three times in a row that it was unreasonable, and when he saw Xu Jin who was standing silently on the side, he said in a deep voice: "Xu Jin, Fang Xingsheng's old man doesn't accept you, I accept it, are you willing to join my door?" ”

Zhao Yun had a long talk with his friend Fei Cai last night, and naturally knew what happened to Xu Jin and his life experience. Fang Xingsheng, the old horseman, didn't know what gluttonous words he had heard, so he didn't want such a talented and beautiful jade to be sent to the door!

"Thanks to Zhao Jiaoxi's love, the students are willing, but Fang Jiaoxi is ...... there"

Xu Jin is naturally willing to choose Zhao Mengyang, that Fang Xingsheng is pedantic and old-fashioned, partial to listen to and believe, and his temper is still so irritable, he has lived to a dog at a young age, observing his words and deeds, and being a man at this level, it can be seen that his knowledge will not be high.

Of course, Xu Jin couldn't readily agree to Zhao Mengyang, after all, Guo Fuzi recommended Fang Xingsheng to himself, if he easily changed his course, he would be criticized, although it was Old Man Fang who rejected him first.

Zhao Mengyang was even more satisfied with Xu Jin's performance, he could still calm down after being humiliated like this, and waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about that old horseman, Fei Zihe recommended you to me last night, and Fei Zihe is your recommender!" ”

The other teachings in Yile Hall were originally watching the excitement, and they couldn't help but be slightly moved when they heard the words, because everyone knew that Fei Zihe in Zhao Jiaoxi's mouth was the younger brother of Fei Ge Lao, and he himself was also born in the two rankings of Jinshi, and the official to Hanlin Shi (from the five grades), he actually recommended Xu Jin personally, so it seems that Fang Xingsheng is out of sight this time.

"That'...... The students obeyed Master Zhao's arrangement, but the matter still had to be explained to Fang Jiaoxi, so as not to cause misunderstanding! Xu Jin said respectfully, although the old man on the other side was very unhappy, he still had to do superficial work.

Zhao Mengyang smiled and said: "It's not as thoughtful as you are as a teacher, well, I will explain this matter to Fang Xingsheng." Xu Jin, although Fei Zihe and Fei Ge Lao have praised you, the rules cannot be abolished, and the entrance assessment is still necessary. ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Master Zhao, please ask the question!" ”

"Well, if you're right, I'm not going to make a pair, and I don't pay attention to your scriptures, so how about you improvise a poem?" Zhao Mengyang smiled.

As soon as this remark came out, the other teachers in Yile Hall all had different expressions, and the improvisation of poetry was a test of quick thinking, which was much more difficult than studying the scriptures, Zhao Mengyang was not afraid that the kid would not be able to do it, and he would lose the face of his friend, after all, the person was recommended by his friend Fei Cai.

Of course, Zhao Mengyang was a little worried, but he was more confident in Fei Cai and Fei Ge Lao's vision, not to mention that if he did too easily, he was afraid that he would be said that he deliberately released water and asked Xu Jin to make a poem on the spot, and Fang Xingsheng would have nothing to say if he wanted to cup Ge in the future.

Of course, Zhao Mengyang himself also wants to see if this son really has real talent and learning.

Xu Jin groaned and paced back and forth for a few steps, his mind turned sharply, Zhao Jiaoxi gave face like this, of course he couldn't drop the chain, and Old Man Fang's appearance had some impact on his reputation, so he had to "compose" a masterpiece to eliminate this bad influence.

Xu Jin paced back and forth for a moment, and suddenly stood still and said, "There is!" ”

Zhao Mengyang said happily: "Come on!" ”

"When the students first arrived at Xinjiang Academy, they climbed the stairs, but they saw yellow leaves everywhere, winter frost hanging branches, and suddenly saw a green bamboo on the rock. Now I occasionally get a small poem, please Zhao Shi comment! Xu Jin said and groaned slowly: "Insist that Qingshan will not relax!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, all the teachings in Yile Hall couldn't help but light up, as the so-called experts knew if there was one as soon as they made a move.

"The roots are in the broken rock. Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and the southeast and northwest winds are restricted. ”

Xu Jin finished chanting Zheng Banqiao's famous bamboo poem "Bamboo Stone" in the later generations, and suddenly the entire Yile Hall was so quiet that the needle could be heard, not because the poem was not good, but because it was too good.

The teachers present at least have the fame of Xiucai, in other words, they are all people who know the goods, whether the poems are good or not, you can naturally distinguish them when you listen to them, Xu Jin's seven-word quatrain is sonorous and powerful, majestic, and the tenacity and tenacity of bamboo are vividly expressed, and it is definitely a masterpiece that has been handed down to the world.

"Good poetry!"

After the silence, there were many cheers, and Zhao Jiaoxi was also pleasantly surprised, although his friend Fei Cai praised Xu Jin very much, but after all, he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, so in Zhao Mengyang's opinion, even if Xu Jin could improvise a poem, at most it would be a general work, but he didn't expect him to be a blockbuster.

Not only Zhao Mengyang, but everyone in the hall did not expect that Xu Jin, a young man who had not yet reached the crown, would be able to make such a magnificent and sonorous bamboo poem.

"Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and the wind is blowing. These two sentences are enough to be passed on to future generations! Zhao Jiaoxi was excited to record this poem on the spot and asked, "Xu Jin, what title should this poem use?" ”

Xu Jin replied: "Bamboo and stone! ”

Zhao Jiaoxi wrote the title of the poem "Bamboo and Stone" on the paper, and finally there was a small preface: on the seventh day of the twelfth month of the Ming Dynasty, Shangrao Confucian Tong Xu Jin entered the school examination and improvised it.

After Zhao Mengyang finished writing, he put the brush on the ink inkstone, and said with a smile: "Later, I will present this poem to the mountain chief, and find a craftsman to engrave a monument and stand under the bamboo. ”

The mountain chief in Zhao Mengyang's mouth is the boss of the academy, which is equivalent to the current principal of the school.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, come again, don't do it!

The other teachers in the hall all cast envious eyes, this is a good thing for future generations, some of them have been teaching in the academy for more than ten years, and they have not encountered such a good thing, Xu Jin, a new student, can erect a monument and engrave words on the first day of admission.

But jealousy is useless, whoever asks someone to make a good poem that can be passed down to the world, it will be difficult for Xu Jin, this kid, to become famous in the future.

However, Xu Jin regretted using this song "Bamboo and Stone", and knew that he copied an ordinary song casually, and it was not a good thing to be too high-profile when he first arrived.
