Chapter 191 A Parallel Essay Up to Five Levels
Luo Yan actually had some doubts about Qin Ren'an's words.

There is no one who speaks ill of his own family.Qin Ren'an said that either because the scholars in this state were really arrogant, or Qin Ren'an himself had a problem with those scholars.But it doesn't matter anymore, when the time comes, I will go to the Wenhui to have a look, and I will know everything soon.

Luo Yan promised Qin Ren'an with such intentions.If it is true as he said, then there is nothing wrong with teaching those people a lesson.But if there is a discrepancy in the facts, then you can also encourage them as a doctor.Anyway, what Luo Yan needed was for these state students not to cause trouble in his own hands.

If it's really about respect and the like, it's better to prepare a few articles by yourself.If exegesis is related to official positions, don't expect too much.

Through Qin Ren'an, Luo Yan learned that the farewell ceremony was initiated by the three legendary scholars who could take all the places in the scientific examination.The time is just two days later.Relying on his prominent family background and a large sum of resources, he contracted the tallest restaurant in the city - Xiangmanlou.The owner behind Xiangmanlou is said to have a strong background and has been operating in Jinzhou for several years, but no one knows who it is.

It is not in vain to say that the building is full of fragrance.Where does the fragrance come from? It is the unique wine in that building.Xiangmanlou exclusively brews a kind of wine called self-drunk. The raw materials are several kinds of flowers, plants and fruits that are common in the north.It is said that it takes two years from fermentation to brewing. For the kind of overflowing wine that is produced in a few months, this person is considered a boutique.

What's more valuable is that this wine has a unique floral and fruity aroma, which is born in the mouth, and the mellow aroma contains spicy.When drinking, you can only taste the taste by taking a small sip.

That's all.Maybe it's because the materials are rare and the process is complicated, but this fragrant wine sells for ten catties a day, and it's never too much.And it is only provided for drinking in the building, and it is not allowed to take it outside.

Only people like Luo Yan who came from later generations know that this is hunger marketing.

It is precisely because of such harsh conditions, coupled with the excellent hardware facilities of Xiangmanlou, that Jinzhou Restaurant has become the number one signboard since its opening.There is an endless stream of drinkers who come to compete for this person's self-intoxication every day. Even if someone comes for a month in a row, it may not be possible to snatch it.

It took a lot of money for these three scholars to be able to rent this Xiangmanlou.Coupled with the influence of the family, it is possible to have this one-day literary meeting.

Of course, on the day of the Wenhui, the ten-jin people who are all over the building are drunk, so they will be used by the Wenhui.And the three people who initiated the literary meeting also knew how to win people's hearts, and announced to the public that all the fine wine will be used in the literary meeting.He even made a bold statement that on the day of the Wenhui, no matter what their status is, talented scholars will win the fragrance and wine with poems and articles.

This kind of momentum, coupled with the fact that Yu Shizong, the governor of Jinzhou, and many masters of the state school will be present, unexpectedly attracted everyone from Jinzhou who has studied a little to flock to the city of Jinzhou.

Luo Yan was lucky, if he came one day later, he might not even be able to find a place to live.

An Xin stayed in this inn for two nights. Early in the morning of the third day, Qin Ren'an came to look for Luo Yan.

"Lang Jun, you need to hurry up. There will be a checkpoint at the entrance of Xiangmanlou today. The literary meeting will officially start at noon. If you arrive late, you will have passed more than half of the literary meeting even if you enter." Qin Ren'an was a little anxious.It was only a little later at this time, and he found many people going to Xiangmanlou on the way here.

If I drag it until Sishi, I'm afraid I can only smell the wine outside.

Qin Ren'an's words evoked Luo Yan's memories.Thinking of how crowded Li Shimin's celebration banquet was at the beginning, it must be as grand as it is today.Putting his thoughts away, Luo Yan smiled at Qin Ren'an: "Brother Qin, don't panic. I've also seen a larger-scale literary fair than this one. It's enough to go two hours earlier."

What Luo Yan said was right, when the two of them arrived at Xiangmanlou, the street was full of people.But few actually went up to verify their identities.To put it bluntly, most of the people who came here at this moment were ordinary people watching the excitement.Those who are truly talented and learned must be invited, and they can enter directly without verification.

However, when Luo Yan heard the verification method, he immediately became interested.

The building is divided into five floors, and this test is also divided into five types.The first level examines the scriptures of "The Analects of Confucius", the second level examines the ink meaning of the Great Sutra, the third level examines the understanding of the meaning of the scriptures, the fourth level examines the seven-character regulated poems, and the fifth level examines Fu.

Luo Yan also felt that the person who organized the cultural meeting was paying attention to such a well-defined test.This test can completely test a person's level of knowledge.Of course, it seemed that the organizer deliberately kept people out of the fifth floor.Think about a fu, from drafting to writing, these two hours are not enough at all.Coupled with the level of level, the difficulty is even higher.

Qin Ren'an watched the gradually increasing difficulty of the test, and muttered to himself: "These guys didn't even think about making me wait for the fifth floor. It's not low difficulty to do a Fu in two hours."

Hearing what Qin Ren'an said, Luo Yan could only say helplessly: "If you want to convince him, you have to write this Fu or not. I'll go and see how the topic is. It's just to make things difficult. If I can't do it, it can only be said that my knowledge is shallow. Otherwise, how can I be rejected."

In front of the gate of Xiangmanlou, there is still a special path for those scholars who want to take part in the test.On this path, idlers are not allowed to stand over.And there are special servants to help maintain order.Luo Yan followed this path and arrived at the door under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.

Luo Yan was the first to go up.The onlookers also waited for a few moments, and now they saw someone go up, and looked carefully at Luo Yan, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, although he was not as handsome as Panan, but the temperament of a scholar was fully revealed.There are many psychological factors to add points, but Luo Yan has won a lot of applause before choosing the type of test.

As Luo Yan got closer and closer to the topic selection table, the front of Xiangmanlou was surprisingly quiet.Everyone wanted to see which floor the first person would choose to go to.

Getting closer, getting closer.Luo Yan's every step seems to be stepping on the heartbeat of the people watching.Everyone in the arena seemed to be holding their breath, quietly waiting for Luo Yan to reach out his hand.

I saw Luo Yan standing in front of the table with his right hand outstretched, and without any hesitation, he picked up the thin piece of paper on the rightmost side of the table.Then someone took it and read: "Golden State Fu."

Nothing else, just these three words.People who don't know how to do it sound like they think it's just better than writing poetry.But in the eyes of experts, this is definitely making things difficult for everyone.

The most difficult thing in the four or six parallel prose is to write the place.why?It's about celebrating a place.If you don’t know the history and scenery of the place, no matter how much literary talent you have, your writing will only be a little more ornate.This level, as long as you are a literati, you can basically do it.

But in front of so many Jinzhou people, there is still a time limit for "Golden State Fu", which is difficult.Maybe the imperial examination is not so difficult.Now it was a good show, some of the onlookers who claimed to be well-informed explained the difficulty of this fu to the bewildered people around them.

If Luo Yan can't do it, he will really become a laughing stock.

What to do, now that you have chosen, let's write.Before that, however, some preparatory work is required.

"I wonder if I can give me a jar of wine first? The money for the wine will be paid later." Some people say that drinking and smoking before writing is all pretending.But only people who write things know that sometimes tobacco and alcohol are just a medium for finding inspiration.Really caught in the ocean of thinking, even if the wine is replaced with ink, it can still be swallowed.

Seeing that Luo Yan still had such a request, the restaurant did not refuse, and quickly brought out a jar of very ordinary water wine.

He signaled the person next to him to pour wine for him, while Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the side, pouring one cup after another into his mouth.And thoughts are also unfolding imagination in this repeated action.

Looking back on the history of Jinzhou in his mind, Luo Yan accumulated four or six pairs of sentences.A jar of wine, in Luo Yan's unconscious drinking, disappeared in just half an hour.When he raised his glass again, he found that there was no wine in the glass, and the person pouring wine around him looked at him with a smile, Luo Yan knew it was time.

"In the hinterland of Mount Ba, on the shore of the Han River. It is connected to the ancient Chu in the east, and Tianfu is a neighbor. It belongs to one county and governs five counties. The city is a hundred years old and has a history of a thousand years." Just one sentence, imitating the model of "Tengwang Pavilion Preface", Luo Yan generalized Jin The geographical location of the state is clearly explained.

"Jade inscriptions are beautiful, but see the clouds and smoke wear away. Advocating Kui paintings, only Ankang Jiadi. The Han River flows fast, and the mountains on both sides are clear; the birds fly and the sand is white, and the ancient river is frightened. Tai Chi. Hanyin Copper Chimes, Baihe Chu Great Wall, Qinling Ancient Plank Road, Ziyang White Horse Stone." All these are to promote Jinzhou's long history and beautiful scenery.

"People and things are new, and the grand plan is prosperous. A lot of talented people, Chunchun country style..." When Luo Yan wrote all the stories and scenery that he could think of, he added his own expectations for this place in Jinzhou, and then It's just a little bit of advocacy, and it only takes two or three quarters to read it out of the mouth.

Luo Yan was reading inside, and someone outside was taking notes.When Luo Yan closed his mouth, those people had finished recording.Counting carefully, there are about five hundred words, but everything in Jinzhou has not been left behind.The onlookers were just trying to have fun. Seeing a scholar around him with a mouth full of disbelief, he pulled it up and asked, "I said, how about the essays made by the young man in the field? Into the fifth floor?"

People who don't understand naturally want to know a result.But those who know a little bit of parallel prose will know that Jinzhou has written local Fu to very few people over the years.Of the twenty or so articles that have been handed down to the world, none of them can compare with Luo Yan's article.

Hearing someone ask themselves whether the young man on the field could get into the fifth floor, these scholars couldn't help but say: "If he can't get in, how many of those people who were invited today can get in based on their real skills? "

　The parallel prose in this article borrows and adapts Xiaoyao Prodigal Son's "Ankang Fu", which is hereby explained.
