The white lotus thousand flowers shine on the corridor, and a statement is elegant;

Before singing the third candle, it is difficult to paint the scenery of Nangong.

- Xue Neng, in the sixth year of Huichang (846) Jinshi and the first

————————————————————————

I saw that the mourning officials in front of Ma Lan's mansion avoided one after another, as if with great fear, the car cover was taken off, and an old man with white hair and majestic appearance sat on it, and then carried by two domestic servants with baskets, to the steps of Ma Lan's mansion - many confessors and generals of Ma Lan's mansion walked out and came to respond, but this Xiangguo named Yang Qian pushed them away one by one very hard, his legs and feet were not convenient, so he walked down with a rattan cane, and his facial muscles moved unnaturally, looking like he had had a stroke.

Obviously, this Yang Juan is not the old man he saw on a snowy night.

Gao Yue noticed that Yang Xiangguo only had two servants beside him, and it was even far less than the other five-grade and six-rank officials who came to mourn.

Then the Anxi generals and Ma Lan's three sons who received the front hall came out to greet them, and Yang Juan was not in a hurry to express his condolences, but paused his rattan cane and was heartbroken, and fell down in front of many generals and officials: "The king of Fufeng County has been in charge of the west of the country for many years, and it is natural that the emperor is generous, but he spent 200,000 yuan just to build this central hall, and luxury is by no means the way to protect his descendants." Since the country is difficult to come, General Fang Yue has been endowed with endless gifts, competing to build mansions in the capital, the people call it 'wood demons', but the government students are hungry, and the people call it 'Chai Jing', and now I am ordered by Fu to reverse this trend. ”

Yang Juan said, none of the originally mighty Anxi generals dared to refute anything, they all bowed their heads and listened, and the other officials quietly waved their hands to drive away the defense cabinet and servants (the servants of Tang officials who were allocated by the imperial court, and the defense cabinet above the fifth grade, and the following called the servants), it seems that Yang Xiangguo's prestige is very great.

Gao Yue also understood, why did people say that there was dry firewood essence in the ghost market of Wubenfang, and he dared to describe that the students of Guozijian were all skinny!

This Yang Xiangguo is not bad, it seems that he is really thinking about the poor students, I heard Liu De Room say that he was excluded by Yuan Zai before, and served as the position of the national son sacrificial wine, so he knows the suffering of the students very well.

After coming out of Jing'an Fang, Liu De's room was almost unable to walk, and it was Gao Yue who carried him all the way before he slowly walked back to Wubenfang.

At dinner, Liu Delu had another loveless expression, taking the food chopsticks empty, and his face completely lost its color.

Gao Yue knew that his original hope was half shattered by seeing Chang Gon, and finally Chang Gon praised his literary brilliance, but he didn't know that this year's tribute was going to be a servant, this kind of behavior of stretching a straw for the drowning man and then kicking him back into the deep water was simply terrible.

But if Chang Gon praises the scroll, I'm afraid it's just a polite sentence: whether he has seen Liu De's scroll, God knows; He refused to give Liu De's room a list, but he knew whether he had given other people a list in private.

If he really appreciates Liu De's literary brilliance, why didn't he admit Liu De's room after three years as the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites?

Gao Yue couldn't help but sigh, the Spring Exam was going to be held in five days, and during this time, he knew that the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty was much darker than the college entrance examination and civil service examination in the Celestial Empire! If you want to get lucky, you can no longer walk to death like Liu Demuro, you have to take some wild roads.

But now the wild road is too late to go, there are only five days left to take the exam, the one who took over as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the original prince's right concubine Pan Yan, unless he and Liu De can be appreciated by the crown prince of the dynasty, dream!

"I can only sharpen my gun." After Gao Yue finished thinking about it, he then said to Liu Demuro, "Brother Fang Zhai, you can tell me the details of the etiquette test, and I will have a good preparation in the next five days." ”

But Liu Delu still insists on his opinion, he believes that today's scientific research, poetry is still the most important, and his basis is the "redemption" of the science field owner.

The so-called redemption sticker, that is, there are many lifters who do not understand the scriptures at all, and do not perform well when pasting the scriptures, so the chief priest allows these lifters to show their strengths in the poems, and if the poems perform well, they can offset or even ignore the poor results of the stickers, which is the "redemption stickers".

But Gao Ying clearly said that now the imperial court has paid more attention to the "theory of the body and the country" since the Anshi Rebellion, and began to disdain the flashy poetry and rhetoric, which means "light on technique and heavy on content", and you must work the scriptures and strategies.

That's good, anyway, I don't understand bullshit at all in poetry, and this year's exam will not be so embarrassing to hand in the blank paper if I make a show in the scriptures and strategies.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the stubborn Liu Demur, Gao Yue simply made up his mind to go alone, so he said to Liu Demur, do you have a scripture scroll.

How do you think that Liu De's room doesn't have it at all!

He had spent half his life studying poetry, and he had no interest in the scriptures.

"It seems that I haven't passed the exam for so many years, and it's not all because the director doesn't know how to do it." Gao Yue sighed in his heart.

So after the dinner in the Taixue Pavilion, Gao Yue could only go and find things by himself.

Wei Cigong happened to be expelled from the Taixue Pavilion for making a big fuss about the Luming Banquet, although Wang Jian Si and Xiahou Zhiguan were hard-mouthed, but out of the perspective of love (after all, Wei Cigong is one of the few seed players), he did not dismiss his qualification as a student, but just gave him a long "spring vacation": that is, spring is coming, you go home to "get clothes", and you can't see this angry young man's heart.

Gao Yue asked Wei Cigong for help, and Wei Cigong said that I have a complete Nine Classics here, and I am already familiar with it, so it doesn't hurt to lend it to you.

The so-called Nine Classics means that the Tang people divided the original "Rites" into "Zhou Rites", "Rites" and "Rites", and at the same time investigated the three transmissions of the "Spring and Autumn Period" (Zuo Chuan, Ram Chuan, and Gu Liang Chuan), so that the original "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes" and "Book of Shang" were added, which were called the Nine Classics.

After Gao Yue thanked him, Wei Cigong left angrily, and before leaving, he scolded the Guozijian for being completely undisciplined, and actually used a gourd to pretend to be a young prison.

This matter, this angry youth has to talk about it for at least ten years.

Gao Yue then crossed the ridges of the east and west sections, and found Dr. Su's house in the northwest corner of the Wubenfang in the dark of night.

At the previous drinking ceremony in the township, Dr. Su did not come to host it for the sake of family livelihood, but went to Kunming Pond to catch fish.

After pushing open the simple door of Dr. Su's house, Gao Yue really understood why he went fishing instead of teaching: the whole house was similar to his room for the room, surrounded by Xiao Ran, the only decoration was two or three salted fish hanging on the wall, several children wearing shabby clothes of adults, sitting and crawling on the ground, and Dr. Su's wife lying on the bed in rags, probably because she was hungry to save her strength.

In the low stove room next to it, the pot was empty, and there was no fireworks.

Dr. Su Su Yan is in his forties, but he looks much older than his actual age, Chang'an Mi Gui's words are not false, when Gao Yue stood outside the door and asked to see him, he was sitting behind a rickety bookcase with a missing leg, and next to him was his wife's spinning machine.

When Dr. Su saw Gao Yue, he warmly called him in, and the doctor's wife hurriedly pulled up a broken curtain to avoid it.

"Yisong, last time you sent a few crucian carp and water chestnuts from Qujiang, they are really delicious, and the children are still talking about it!"

Gao Yue immediately covered his face - Damn, my former diploma was really exchanged for fish!
