Shen Jinghe's eyelashes trembled uncontrollably as if frightened, and fell into Liang Yan's eyes, but made what he was about to say stagnant, the tip of his tongue twirled around, and finally there was only a cry Smell.
Shen Jinghe still maintains the posture of sitting on the spot with the pages of the book pinched, his face still not showing any waves, but only he himself knows in his heart what kind of bewilderment lingers in his heart at this moment.
Talk about... what?
He suddenly felt a little tired all over, but under the exhaustion, there was a little sourness in his heart, which seemed to be the taste of grievance?
Shen Jinghe only thought it was extremely ridiculous, he could never imagine that the word grievance would be applied to himself one day.However, the inexplicable feeling of difficult swallowing in his throat reminded him of this fact mercilessly, making him unable to escape even if he closed his eyes and didn't think about it.
He didn't want Liang Yan to see the shaken and downcast flashes on his face, so he just silently turned his head away from the Linghua window, leaving half of his profile reflected by the lights like jade.
Liang Yan looked at the silent young man sitting alone in the shadow of the light yellow light, his heart, which had been depressed and heavy for several days, softened for no reason, as if it had been soaked in gently rippling warm water.
So as long as he can look at him so quietly, can he get such great satisfaction in his heart?
Liang Yan's expression was a little dazed.
The bright and sometimes dim lights were blown by the night wind, and it was already pitch black outside, only the shadowy outlines of the flowers in the garden and stone pavilion could be seen.However, the sound of rustling and bamboo passing through the green veil, and the fireflies gradually lighting up like falling stars under the grass in front of the window, make this small world that seems to be forgotten by the world a little more indescribable and romantic. safely.
He just sat in the light of the lamp, neither rejecting nor embracing the night.
Liang Yan looked at him with calm eyes, and suddenly such an incomprehensible sentence popped out of his chaotic thoughts.I turned my head and thought about it, but felt that it was inexplicably in tune with the scene in front of me.
Then let me blend into your night.
The corners of Liang Yan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and the coldness that shrouded his body for the past few days, which was thousands of miles away, disappeared with this light smile.
Shen Jinghe was sensitively aware of the change in the aura of the person in front of him immediately, he didn't know what happened in this short moment, after thinking for a while, he still could only lower his eyes in a little helplessness.
Seeing that he just pursed his lips and ignored him, Liang Yan wasn't annoyed at all, and just let out a helpless sigh.He glanced around, went to the corner and found a few more candles, lit them carefully and placed them beside Shen Jinghe's table.
The bright yellow light suddenly turned on, driving away the darkness around the desk, leaving only lines of clear ink on the pages of the book.
"It's getting dark and I don't know how to light up a few more lights. What if I hurt my eyes?" Liang Yan pushed the last candle to the corner of the table, but he didn't leave in a hurry. Sitting next to him naturally, it seems that the concern in his eyes has not been reserved at all.
Shen Jinghe looked at the bright lights around him, and for a moment, he had an unrealistic feeling that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.He unconsciously clenched the pages of the book even tighter, and after a long while, he opened his mouth.
"Why are you doing this, aren't we... in a cold war?"
Liang Yan looked at him for a moment, but as if he had heard something funny, a playful smile flashed in his eyes, "Before the war between the two countries, there was a letter of war sent from thousands of miles away, and now you have nothing Say it and decide on your own to start a war, but tell me to throw away my helmet and armor so that I will be embarrassed."
Shen Jinghe was still a little sullen in his heart. Hearing this, his eyebrows twitched, and he squinted over, "Who in Dayong doesn't know that General Liang Xiao is brilliant and mighty, and won every battle without danger, and there are also battles he can't win?"
However, Liang Yan was not in a hurry to reply, he raised his chin slightly, frowned and thought deeply for a long time before finally looking into Shen Jinghe's eyes.
"I am willing to lose at the hands of His Highness the Sixth Prince."
Shen Jinghe's breathing was unsteady, and he quickly turned his head away, not looking at Liang Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to suck in people's hearts and souls, and muttered in an inaudible way, "...speaking some inexplicable things , you can stay here if you like."
He hastily lowered his head and fixed his eyes on the book on the table that hadn't been turned over since just now.Liang Yan glanced at him, but it was rare that he didn't continue to speak. He picked a book and sat with him.
The evening wind is getting colder and cooler, carrying the delicate fragrance of bamboo leaves across the embroidery on the hem of the clothes.Under the flickering lights, the only sound that could be heard from time to time was the turning of pages, piercing the silence of the courtyard.The light ink fragrance is intertwined with the bamboo fragrance, which makes people's hearts become leisurely in the pleasant smell.
Shen Jinghe gathered the robe around his body tighter, feeling slightly annoyed.Tonight seemed to be a little colder than the previous days, but he hadn't expected this to happen, and he didn't bring more clothes to keep out the cold.
He was thinking about where to find some fire, but the next second he was taken aback by a black robe that suddenly flew over his shoulders.
This black robe was probably just taken off by its owner, the soft fabric still has a warm body temperature, and the sleeves of the clothes are faintly familiar with a stern aura.
He subconsciously grabbed the belt of his clothes to prevent it from slipping off. When he realized it, he was dumbfounded, and immediately wanted to tear it off and return it to Liang Yan.However, Liang Yan frowned and firmly pressed the hand he wanted to do, staring at his face that was a little pale from the cold just now, but with a small amount of force, it was impossible to break free.
"Put it on." In an uncompromising tone.
Shen Jinghe shook his head slightly annoyed, "What does it look like!"
Liang Yan stared at him for a long time, until Shen Jinghe felt a guilty conscience and unnaturalness for no reason, and then said leisurely: "This is the general's plan to lure the enemy to surrender. Your Highness is not willing to accept it because he is afraid that his will will not be firm and he will accidentally admit defeat?"
Shen Jinghe's eyes widened in astonishment, subconsciously felt the absurdity and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he laughed angrily, "Why didn't I know that General Liang has so many fallacies?"
Liang Yan didn't speak anymore, looked at him and smiled lightly, with his unpredictable emotions hidden in his eyes.
The black robe fit snugly on his body, and it really protected him from the chill of many autumn nights.With an all-too-familiar breath lingering in his nose, Shen Jinghe lowered his eyes, and his tone gradually softened unconsciously, "...Aren't you cold?"
"This cool breeze is really nothing compared to the late autumn in the northern region." Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of arrogant pickiness in his words.
Shen Jinghe saw his complacent face, curled his lips in disgust, and simply stopped looking at him.He shook his robe tightly again, buried his head again and put his mind on the volumes of the case.
Since this little general Liang was very shy, there was no need for him to be polite to him, because it wasn't him who fell ill due to the wind and cold.
Having said that, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Liang Yan from time to time, seeing that he was still sitting there upright, not even shivering, so he calmed down and looked away.
Are the soldiers in the northern border really so rough-skinned and thick-skinned...
Shen Jinghe shook his head, shaking off the distressed thoughts that came to his mind for a moment, picked up the corner of the book by the warm yellow light and turned to the next page.
Liang Yan saw that his eyes that wandered to him from time to time finally moved away completely, and then he turned his head quietly, looking at his figure who was studying hard, with an almost gentle look on his brows and eyes.
Shen Jinghe thought that he hid his gaze very well. In fact, if it were someone else, he would not notice the vague glances he occasionally cast.
However, what if the person he was looking at was Liang Yan?
Liang Yan looked at his robe completely covering his slender figure, only revealing a face like a crown jade, his heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and joy, as if even the night had become As light and peaceful as water.
Which one did he look at, and he wouldn't be moved by it?
……
The days of concentrating on classics and classics always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the monthly exam in Taixue.
In the past few days, the relationship between Shen Jinghe and Liang Yan can be said to be greatly eased.Although the two of them still haven't returned to their previous intimacy, they won't be as stiff as they were a few days ago and don't say a word.
Naturally, Liang Yan always turned his head to ask for concerns from time to time, and Shen Jinghe would occasionally reply to him awkwardly.Seeing this, Shen Zhuoxuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled and looked at the two people who walked into the tribute courtyard two steps away not far away, and felt that the words he had said to Shen Jinghe before were not in vain.No, his sixth younger brother is finally willing to take the initiative to seek reconciliation with General Liang Xiao, isn't he?
Shen Zhuoxuan sighed softly in his heart, he naturally knew that his younger brother always looked calm and calm, but there was always a looming loneliness hidden in his heart.After finally being able to make a good friend in Taixue who has the same temperament and kindness, he certainly doesn't want to see the friendship between the two disintegrate so easily.
"Fifth brother, did you come so early today?"
Shen Jinghe walked ahead and saw Shen Zhuoxuan who was waiting outside the tribute courtyard at a glance.
Shen Zhuoxuan nodded at him with a smile, and asked worriedly: "Have you brought all the pens and inks with you? Although the answer sheets of the monthly exam will be engraved and stored in the Hanlin Academy, you don't have to be too nervous. According to you Judging from the performance over time, it is more than enough to get into the top gear. Even if you miss it for a while, no one will blame you, after all, this is your first reference, and the main thing is to practice your hands."
Shen Jinghe smiled helplessly, "Fifth brother, why are you like Liang Yan, talking about this over and over all the way." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Liang Yan who was following behind with a smile in his eyes. Pointingly said, "Do you think I look nervous?"
Shen Zhuoxuan laughed, shook his head pretending to be sad and said, "Oh, my brother has grown up, he thinks I'm long-winded..."
After saying that, he looked up at the clear blue sky with his hands behind his back, sighing softly from time to time, muttering "poor" in a low voice, and frowning and saying "sigh".
Shen Jinghe lost his temper completely due to his quarrel, so he could only bow his hands and beg for mercy repeatedly.Shen Zhuoxuan was about to tease him a few more words, but he could only hear a gentle and graceful voice not far away.
"Aren't these the fifth and sixth brothers?"
Closing the folding fan in his hand, Shen Zhuomin nodded slowly towards them with a chuckle. From his expression to his actions, he was nothing like an ordinary elder brother who cared about his younger brother.
When he passed by Shen Jinghe, he said with a concerned face and a sincere tone, "Today is your first time to take the monthly exam, but are you still nervous? I heard the news a few days ago that this month's papers are not as usual It is handled by Xuezheng, but it has to be sent directly to the Imperial Academy to be corrected and finalized by the bachelors."
"But you don't have to worry too much." Shen Zhuomin said comfortingly, "Although the Hanlin scholars are always strict, after all, you are a prince and it is your first time to take the exam. It's not impossible to be considerate for the sake of my father."
"So that's the case, thank you Brother Sanhuang for reminding me." Shen Jinghe acted as if he had suddenly realized, and cupped his hands respectfully, but concealed the trace of sarcasm that flashed across the corner of his eyes.
After saying these seemingly consoling words, if Shen Jinghe is really an ordinary person who has never read any books, I am afraid that the last bit of confidence still in his heart will be completely dissipated by him.
He, the third brother, is used to using tricks such as honey and sword.
Turning his mind, Shen Jinghe's face showed some anxiety at the right time, but he also took the initiative to change the topic, as if he didn't want others to see what was on his mind.
Shen Zhuomin watched his expression carefully, and when he saw his eyelashes trembling from time to time due to nervousness, the smile that had been on his face finally got a bit of real warmth.After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he knocked on the folding fan and entered the arena first.
"Liang Qiu is also equipped with a fan. I really don't have to worry about the wind flashing his tongue." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Zhuomin's far away back, gritted his teeth and whispered this sentence from between his lips.
Shen Jinghe couldn't help but burst into a three-point smile when he heard this, he was just about to say something, but suddenly realized that their current relationship is still awkward.
He glanced at Liang Yan quickly, touched his nose, turned around and said softly "Let's go" to the two of them.
The chief examiner of today's monthly test was Fang Zi Ai Fang Taichang. After all the students sat down in order, he took the papers by himself and handed them out one by one.When passing by Shen Jinghe's side, he gave him an encouraging nod.
Shen Jinghe received his gaze, smiled slightly and nodded in response.As the bell rang for the start of the monthly exam on behalf of Taixue Zhengyuan, all the students hurriedly uncovered the roll cover covered by the cover of the roll paper, dipped their pens and ink and began to fill in meticulously.
Shen Jinghe also lowered his head to look at the test paper. He glanced at it first and had a general impression of the various question types.The first half of the test paper mainly tests the ability to recite the meaning of the scriptures. A lot of sentences are selected from the Thirteen Classics, and the middle line or a few words are deliberately omitted, and the students are required to fill in every word.In the second half, there are only two questions, one is to write a short fu in class, and the other is to write a poem according to the given words and questions.
Shen Jinghe first set his sights on the first half of the scriptures.These questions are ingenious. Thirty percent of the scriptures are classic sentences that are widely circulated and easy to understand at a glance, fifty percent are slightly difficult sentences that require people to think carefully, and the remaining [-]% are There are all kinds of uncommon and tricky side sentences. If you don't thoroughly understand the laws and regulations, you may only be in a daze at these unheard of sentences at this time, let alone fill in its context.
However, this question may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for Shen Jinghe who has already memorized the scriptures so well in his previous life that he can memorize them fluently.He lightly dipped the inkstone into the inkstone with the Zihao pen, and began to answer with ease on the scroll.
Some students with fast writing speed have already written the few sentences in the middle and back, and the hand that writes like flying gradually stops with some hesitation, and only rests their cheeks and frowns, thinking hard about the corresponding words and sentences.There were also those clever-minded people who saw the last few strange questions that they hadn't even seen before, smacked their tongues and shook their heads, and simply skipped them and distracted themselves to do other questions.
Shen Jinghe, on the other hand, wrote down a line of elegant and proper small characters on the roll of paper. Although the speed was not fast, he wrote smoothly and coherently. There was never a moment of pensive thought. .
That is to say, everyone is busy dealing with their own answer sheets at this time, if it is normal to teach people to see it, they will be greatly surprised.Just because he could pick up the pen and write down the missing words and sentences almost at the moment when he saw the topic, as if the scriptures and meanings were not stored in his mind and needed to be recalled. It was placed before his eyes for his copying.
After less than half of the time, Shen Jinghe finally completed all the first half of the questions calmly.He picked up the edge of the rolled paper and shook it lightly, and then carefully dried the newly added ink marks.But seeing that the corresponding chapters and sentences are neatly filled on the white paper, at a glance, there is no blank or omission, as if it is the original text engraved on the wooden board, which is astonishing.
Shen Jinghe looked down at the paper that he had just finished writing, exhaled lightly, and smiled confidently.He put the filled paper aside indifferently, reached for the second test paper and looked at the next questions.
The left and right sides of the second roll of paper are inscribed with the last two remaining questions.Shen Jinghe first looked at the short Fu, the content of the Fu has been drawn up in advance by the bachelor who produced the paper, this one is "Snow Fu".
Are you writing about snow?
Shen Jinghe was silent for a moment, and unexpectedly remembered the ice and snow in the northern border that Liang Yan had told him.Frowning and shaking his head, he swept away the extra irrelevant emotions from his mind, and pondered over how to write.
When it comes to Fu on the topic of snow, the most common students are naturally laying out Xue's physical appearance in a large and generous pen, trying to stack up a prose with beautiful words and gorgeous rhetoric.Some of the better students will not just focus on the snow itself, stick to the outer body of the snow, but will praise the virginity of the snow, the festival of the snow, and then praise the spirit of the snow.
So, is he going to write that too?
Shen Jinghe didn't rush to write, he closed his eyes and let his whole mind wander freely in the vast world.He seemed to be in the cold winter of the northern region the next moment, and all he could see were the pure white snowflakes fluttering and falling all over the sky, as bright as the moonlight.The snow fell rustlingly, and what fell on the high branches was smoothly congealed into a soft ball, and what fell on the stone steps silently turned into snow water with the sunrise, mixed with mud and sand, and flowed in a meandering way. land.
In his mind, he described Xueluo's situation in detail, as if a coolness really brushed over his face.After a few breaths, he opened a pair of clear and indifferent eyes, and there was a gully in his heart.
Shen Jinghe picked up the ink pen, first copied the topic correctly, then moved the pen to the next line, and wrote the opening line.
"The year is approaching the end of the year, and the time is faint. The cold wind accumulates, and the clouds are cloudy. In Russia, there is little graupel, and there is dense snow."
On a cold, windy and cloudy evening in winter, with goose feathers and heavy snow falling, this was the first scene that jumped into his mind.
His pen paused, and he thought about it thoughtfully.It is also snow, if it is thick and full of feet, it is a sign of a good year, but if the snow is one foot deep, it becomes a disaster that everyone fears to avoid.From this point of view, the time of falling snow is different, and the meaning of the omen is also very different?
"The meaning of the time of snow is so far away! Please tell me the beginning. If the law is poor, the austerity rises, the soup and valleys dry up, the scorching wind does not rise, the rivers and seas produce clouds, and the deserts fly sand..."
It's not that he has never seen Shuo Xue in his previous life, but his body is not good, and he is afraid of the cold in winter, so he can only gently raise a corner of the heavy curtain in the beautifully decorated carriage, and look at it in the air-conditioning. Looking at the majestic and snow-covered Xiongshan Mountains in the distance.
He has seen with his own eyes that at the end of the four seasons and when the cold air rises, the streams and rivers, big and small, have solidified, and the clouds and mists are no longer blown away by the warm wind. Unprecedented pride and grandeur.
Such a magnificent scene had deeply shocked his whole mind, but in retrospect, when the snow had not lost its weight and the warm sun was still high in the winter, it was not a beautiful scene.
"If the accumulation is not lost, the day is North Korea, and the death is like a candle dragon, shining on Kunshan. The courtyard is lined with Yao steps, and the forest is full of Qiongshu..."
The brilliance of the new snow is just like the candle dragon holding a candle in Kunlun as recorded in the ancient mythology. The colorful and complicated weather and bright and clean demeanor all satisfy all his imagination about Luoxue who was born in the southern country since he was a child.
Although the endless battles in his previous life have gradually faded away in his memory, he still occasionally thinks back to himself who walked on thin ice every step of the way.Every day when he opens his eyes, he faces the exhausting life of intrigue and fighting, and only in his dreams can he walk through the famous mountains and rivers in person, and travel thousands of miles in the ever-changing scenery of the four seasons.
He once dreamed of a heavy snowfall. At that time, he only thought that such a magnificent scene could not exist in the world.It wasn't until many years later that he took a car to the Northland to meet the newly attached clansmen that he dared to believe that the Wanling Plain in front of him was within reach, not an illusion in a dream.
"If it's Shen Yu's endless fun, the night is quiet and full of love. The wind touches the couplets and turns, the moon bears the sun and shines brightly, practice the accumulation of frost and snow, and pity the contrast of branches and leaves..."
On that night when the snow fell, he stayed in the warm and soft room specially prepared for him by the people of the Northern Kingdom. In the quiet night, there was only the sound of the wind whistling around the corridor. Cut window screens.
Maybe it was because the snow light was too bright. He didn't fall asleep as quickly as expected, but put on a crane cloak and leaned against the door to look at the courtyard where the birds were dancing. The crackle of crisp pine branches.
"There is no reason to complain about the passing of the year, and there is no reason for the reunion after injury. You would rather see the white snow on the steps, which is less shining than Yangchun."
It was less than half a year before he finally closed his eyes and sank into the darkness on the sickbed on the snowy night.
People always sigh and resent the unstoppable time, and weep and feel sad like participating in business, and there is no reason to meet again.
Shen Jinghe didn't quite understand this state of mind at the beginning, but when the snow that night lit up half of the sky, he seemed to suddenly understand the unresolved sorrow of this time—who has ever seen the stage Can the bright and clean white snow last until March in Yangchun?
He paused the hand that was writing, and once again felt a kind of almost moved gratitude for his new life.
Spring has come, but his lonely piece of falling snow has not melted with the sunset, but it has taken root and grown in the vast and boundless world on the other side.The family love, friendship and health that I never expected in my previous life, but in this life, they suddenly fell into my still ignorant arms like a surprise that fell from the sky.
Looking at the last paragraph of the prose, he blinked, and the corners of his eyes were inexplicably astringent.
Taking a deep breath, he continued to write the end of Xue Fu.
"...Although the white feather is white, it is light in quality. Although the white jade is white, it is empty and chaste. How can I be chaste. Su Yin meets Li, and pollution follows pollution. If you have a bright heart, what should you worry about?"
Bai Yu and Bai Yu are light and chaste, but they are not as good as the white snow that cannot be covered by the brilliance of the sun and the moon.Falling snow rises and falls with the clouds, drifts from the wind, and changes shape according to the terrain of the objects it meets.The whiteness of snow is due to the cleanliness of the encountered objects, and the filth is also due to the pollution of foreign objects.
Isn't it just like a person who lives for the rest of his life, as long as he has a quiet mind and a mind outside his mind, there are no worries and managements, so why stick to the so-called high reputation and cleanliness!
After finishing the last stroke, Shen Jinghe let out a sigh of relief, as if he had finally marked the end of those chaotic thoughts.
After scanning up and down, he made sure that there were no grammatical gaps or white characters, and then he turned his attention to the lyrics of the next question.
The title of this poem is "Remembering Dreams", which stipulates that the Cipai is the pride of the fisherman, and he must write down a dream he once had by filling out a poem according to the melody.
Dream?This is a fresh topic.
After pondering for a moment, he took advantage of the momentum of writing prose just now, struck while the iron was hot, and wrote in one go the magnificent and magnificent scene of the boat sailing to the fairy mountains on the sea amidst the wind and waves that he had dreamed of.
The sky is connected to the clouds and the waves are in the mist, and the galaxy is about to turn a thousand sails.As if dreaming souls belong to the emperor.Wen Tianyu asked me where I was going.
I reported that the road is long and the sun goes down, and I have a surprising sentence in studying poetry.Ninety-thousand-mile Fengpeng is moving.The wind stops, and the Pengzhou blows away the three mountains!
Between the clouds and the Milky Way, the heart and soul fluttered and flew to the heaven.The Emperor of Heaven invited him to ask, but the journey is long, so there are no good words. I only hope that one day the Dapeng will rise with the same wind and send the light boat straight to Penglai Xiandao!
Satisfied, he put down his pen and checked his answer sheet again and again, before stacking the two paper rolls neatly in order.
There was still about a quarter of an hour before the bell rang for the end, Shen Jinghe propped his chin with one hand, looked sideways at the neat answer sheet on the table, and sighed slightly in his heart.
This monthly test is very important to him.Regardless of whether he can really make those civil servants write down his name in the Hanlin Academy, it is at the other end of Changle Palace...
He couldn't help but think of the secret instruction sent by Queen Todd Quan a few days ago, only telling him to seize this rare opportunity and try his best to get a good rank in the monthly test.
Shen Jinghe couldn't fully guess the queen's intentions in doing this, but he could sensitively sense that once he could stand out in the monthly test, the queen would use her strength to give him a chance to take another step to the top.
But what if his answer sheet just disappeared from everyone?
He carefully evaluated the gap with the students in Taixue, and finally came to a rather optimistic result - it's hard to say, but he still has some points about whether he can be listed as an excellent student. confidence.
The bell for the end of the monthly test rang in due course, and all the examinees put down their pens with reluctance or relief, and Fang Taichang put away the test papers one by one, and then left in twos and twos.
Shen Jinghe came and walked gracefully, but he didn't know what kind of commotion this paper caused in the Imperial Academy after he left.
……
On the carved square table made of sandalwood, stacks of test papers were stacked according to grades.There are only about 34 good papers on the far left, the good papers in the middle are piled up in a large stack, and there are [-] bad papers on the right. Almost all the well-known playboys in the capital You can find your name on it.
Chen Hanlin walked in the door, patted the wind and dust on his body, picked up the three papers circled with a red pen on the leftmost stack, and asked his colleagues curiously, "This is the paper that you have corrected and selected in the past few days. The top three of the best file?"
Not far away, the Hanlin who were reviewing official documents looked at each other and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you don't know anything about your business in the capital these few days, but there is a little Wenqu star in the Taixue!"
"Oh? Everyone here is not a scholar who has read the gold list of poems and books. If you can get your nod, is it really some amazing talent?" Chen Hanlin laughed, and picked up the top one and looked at it. But seeing this, he was so surprised that his eyes widened.
"These last few excerpts were excerpts from the scriptures that I saw with my own eyes. They were all extremely tricky. At that time, I laughed at him deliberately making things difficult for the younger generation, but who would have thought that someone could do it?" Can you recite the words without falling to the ground?"
Zhu Hanlin looked ashamed, "I originally intended to teach all students to put Kung Fu back to the classics in a down-to-earth manner, and don't be complacent. Who would have thought that I really underestimated the young people today. This hard work of studying, but It's much deeper than when I was young!"
"Brother Chen, let's go back and read." Another Hanlin stroked his beard with emotion, "I don't know which student this is. Not only is he rigorous in the study of classics, but he is also proficient in writing prose and imitation words. Wait for it Xueshi Su removes the name paper, and this old man must see with his own eyes whose son it is."
Hearing the words, Chen Hanlin looked back again, and first read the "Xue Fu" carefully, and couldn't help applauding, "Good! It's a good sentence, 'Because the rise and fall of the times, the heart is bright', Gao Li was amazed, The use of elegance and elegance can really be said to have completely escaped the strong spirit of the predecessors!"
After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to look at the last question "The Pride of the Fisherman", and when he read the line "I report the long road and the sun sets", he sighed again, "This sentence is a paraphrase of "Li Sao"" Lu Manmanqi The two sentences of repairing far away' and 'the sun is suddenly coming to the evening' are not afraid of long-distance expeditions, but only wish to search up and down, and the two words are simple, pure, natural, and fuzzy without trace."
He was still waiting for a few more sentences, but from the corner of his eyes, he only caught a glimpse of Su Xueshi, who was in charge of the courtyard, stepping into the main entrance.At the moment, the several imperial scholars at the table couldn't sit still, they put down their files and surrounded Su Xueshi.
"Master Su, now that the class has been sorted, it's okay to get rid of the ambiguity."
"That's right, all the adults and I can't help but want to see which kid is so quick in writing..."
Su Qingfu nodded to them with a smile, took the high-profile paper from Chen Hanlin himself, and said loudly while peeling off the name paper, "Forget it, the filing and transcription have been completed, why don't you send the paper earlier Send it back to Taixue with comments."
The obtrusive name paper that had been stared into a sieve by all kinds of scorching eyes was finally removed, and the name of the owner of the scroll was finally no longer half-hidden by the pipa.Everyone craned their necks at the same time to look at the document, but upon seeing it, they all took a step back in shock.
"This, this is actually..."
Su Qingfu's hand holding the paper also paused. He looked at the name on the margin, his face full of disbelief.However, soon, this full of astonishment turned into a happy and excited smile.
……
Today's Taixue is extremely lively, it is the time when the monthly examination list is released, many students are absent-minded when they recite in the morning, and look outside from time to time, only hoping that the new list will be published outside sooner rather than later. Anxious and restless without thinking about food and tea every day.
There was no worry on Shen Jinghe's face, but in fact, he also had a faint expectation for the ranking to be announced soon.He doesn't care about the so-called honor and reputation, but he is eager to understand the distance between himself and the culture of this world.
Although the classics and scriptures handed down from ancient times to the present by the two dynasties are the same, in different historical evolution processes, the analysis and identification of the volumes of scriptures and the origins of various schools of thought have gone to completely different branches. , and thus derived many new ideas and propositions.
These differences may seem small, but they have an impact that cannot be ignored on the ultimate development direction of world culture.
After finally finishing the morning recitation, Xuezheng also knew their impatience, so he didn't explain anything more, but waved them out of the hospital to look at the newly established list.
Xuezheng's hand hadn't come down yet, and the restless student had already rushed out like an arrow from the string, rushing to the front of the list without panting all the way, eagerly searching for his name.
Shen Jinghe looked at the front of the list for a moment, surrounded by rubbing shoulders and rubbing heels in black and crushing a crowd of people, and suddenly felt a little weak.He frowned and pondered for a moment, and decided to pack up the books first, and then go to check when there were fewer people.
However, he didn't expect that he didn't even need to move—the crowd in front of the list let out exclamations one after another. Tian Hui screamed, jumped three feet high with excitement, and stumbled through the crowd to look at him with a smile on his face. rushed.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Chief!"
"...What?" Shen Jinghe was momentarily unable to distinguish his words.
Before he finished speaking, Tian Hui had already run up to him panting. He took a breath, and said loudly with glowing eyes, "Your Highness, you are the leader in this monthly test! The leader!"
Fang Pingzhi and Zhu Shan also came over to congratulate him with smiles all over their faces. Shen Jinghe listened to their words in a daze, and for a moment suspected that he was actually dreaming.
leader?he?
At this time, Shen Zhuoxuan also came out from the front of the list against the crowd, he looked at Shen Jinghe and shook his head with a light smile, his eyes were full of pride, "Jinghe, you really surprised me! I have been wearing it for several years. You took off the leader's hat you are used to when you first arrived, but you are talking about how to compensate me?"
At this time, Shen Jinghe broke free from the huge unrealistic feeling, and he finally slowly digested the fact that he won the first place in the monthly test.However, after reacting, the first thing he did was not to respond to the congratulations of the people in front of him, but to suddenly turn his head and look at Liang Yan who had been standing quietly in the same place.
He is the leader!
His eyes were bright, he was about to speak, and he met Liang Yan's smiling gaze.Shen Jinghe just looked back at Liang Yan under the warm autumn sun, the joy and joy overflowing in his heart could no longer be concealed, and it was poured out from the bottom of his eyes and the brows.
He raised his chin slightly, a proud and high-spirited expression flashed across his eyes, and he smiled unreservedly at him.
The wind lifted his ink-like black hair, and against the moon-white plain shirt and charming smile, he was enveloped in a dazzling brilliance for no reason.Liang Yan's pupils shrank tightly as he looked at him, and what suddenly opened was full of amazement that couldn't be concealed.
Looking forward to flying, forgetting the vulgarity when you see it.What is its god, the moon shoots the cold river.
Liang Yanhang's hand at his side restrainedly clenched into a fist, he looked back deeply into Shen Jinghe's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and returned him a faint but extremely warm smile.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?" Tian Hui called several times but Shen Jinghe didn't respond, so he hesitated and raised his voice slightly.
Only then did Shen Jinghe come back to his senses, realizing what stupid thing he had done just now, he couldn't help but turn pale, and coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe just now.
"what happened?"
Fang Pingzhi took the conversation naturally, "We
Shen Jinghe still maintains the posture of sitting on the spot with the pages of the book pinched, his face still not showing any waves, but only he himself knows in his heart what kind of bewilderment lingers in his heart at this moment.
Talk about... what?
He suddenly felt a little tired all over, but under the exhaustion, there was a little sourness in his heart, which seemed to be the taste of grievance?
Shen Jinghe only thought it was extremely ridiculous, he could never imagine that the word grievance would be applied to himself one day.However, the inexplicable feeling of difficult swallowing in his throat reminded him of this fact mercilessly, making him unable to escape even if he closed his eyes and didn't think about it.
He didn't want Liang Yan to see the shaken and downcast flashes on his face, so he just silently turned his head away from the Linghua window, leaving half of his profile reflected by the lights like jade.
Liang Yan looked at the silent young man sitting alone in the shadow of the light yellow light, his heart, which had been depressed and heavy for several days, softened for no reason, as if it had been soaked in gently rippling warm water.
So as long as he can look at him so quietly, can he get such great satisfaction in his heart?
Liang Yan's expression was a little dazed.
The bright and sometimes dim lights were blown by the night wind, and it was already pitch black outside, only the shadowy outlines of the flowers in the garden and stone pavilion could be seen.However, the sound of rustling and bamboo passing through the green veil, and the fireflies gradually lighting up like falling stars under the grass in front of the window, make this small world that seems to be forgotten by the world a little more indescribable and romantic. safely.
He just sat in the light of the lamp, neither rejecting nor embracing the night.
Liang Yan looked at him with calm eyes, and suddenly such an incomprehensible sentence popped out of his chaotic thoughts.I turned my head and thought about it, but felt that it was inexplicably in tune with the scene in front of me.
Then let me blend into your night.
The corners of Liang Yan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and the coldness that shrouded his body for the past few days, which was thousands of miles away, disappeared with this light smile.
Shen Jinghe was sensitively aware of the change in the aura of the person in front of him immediately, he didn't know what happened in this short moment, after thinking for a while, he still could only lower his eyes in a little helplessness.
Seeing that he just pursed his lips and ignored him, Liang Yan wasn't annoyed at all, and just let out a helpless sigh.He glanced around, went to the corner and found a few more candles, lit them carefully and placed them beside Shen Jinghe's table.
The bright yellow light suddenly turned on, driving away the darkness around the desk, leaving only lines of clear ink on the pages of the book.
"It's getting dark and I don't know how to light up a few more lights. What if I hurt my eyes?" Liang Yan pushed the last candle to the corner of the table, but he didn't leave in a hurry. Sitting next to him naturally, it seems that the concern in his eyes has not been reserved at all.
Shen Jinghe looked at the bright lights around him, and for a moment, he had an unrealistic feeling that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.He unconsciously clenched the pages of the book even tighter, and after a long while, he opened his mouth.
"Why are you doing this, aren't we... in a cold war?"
Liang Yan looked at him for a moment, but as if he had heard something funny, a playful smile flashed in his eyes, "Before the war between the two countries, there was a letter of war sent from thousands of miles away, and now you have nothing Say it and decide on your own to start a war, but tell me to throw away my helmet and armor so that I will be embarrassed."
Shen Jinghe was still a little sullen in his heart. Hearing this, his eyebrows twitched, and he squinted over, "Who in Dayong doesn't know that General Liang Xiao is brilliant and mighty, and won every battle without danger, and there are also battles he can't win?"
However, Liang Yan was not in a hurry to reply, he raised his chin slightly, frowned and thought deeply for a long time before finally looking into Shen Jinghe's eyes.
"I am willing to lose at the hands of His Highness the Sixth Prince."
Shen Jinghe's breathing was unsteady, and he quickly turned his head away, not looking at Liang Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to suck in people's hearts and souls, and muttered in an inaudible way, "...speaking some inexplicable things , you can stay here if you like."
He hastily lowered his head and fixed his eyes on the book on the table that hadn't been turned over since just now.Liang Yan glanced at him, but it was rare that he didn't continue to speak. He picked a book and sat with him.
The evening wind is getting colder and cooler, carrying the delicate fragrance of bamboo leaves across the embroidery on the hem of the clothes.Under the flickering lights, the only sound that could be heard from time to time was the turning of pages, piercing the silence of the courtyard.The light ink fragrance is intertwined with the bamboo fragrance, which makes people's hearts become leisurely in the pleasant smell.
Shen Jinghe gathered the robe around his body tighter, feeling slightly annoyed.Tonight seemed to be a little colder than the previous days, but he hadn't expected this to happen, and he didn't bring more clothes to keep out the cold.
He was thinking about where to find some fire, but the next second he was taken aback by a black robe that suddenly flew over his shoulders.
This black robe was probably just taken off by its owner, the soft fabric still has a warm body temperature, and the sleeves of the clothes are faintly familiar with a stern aura.
He subconsciously grabbed the belt of his clothes to prevent it from slipping off. When he realized it, he was dumbfounded, and immediately wanted to tear it off and return it to Liang Yan.However, Liang Yan frowned and firmly pressed the hand he wanted to do, staring at his face that was a little pale from the cold just now, but with a small amount of force, it was impossible to break free.
"Put it on." In an uncompromising tone.
Shen Jinghe shook his head slightly annoyed, "What does it look like!"
Liang Yan stared at him for a long time, until Shen Jinghe felt a guilty conscience and unnaturalness for no reason, and then said leisurely: "This is the general's plan to lure the enemy to surrender. Your Highness is not willing to accept it because he is afraid that his will will not be firm and he will accidentally admit defeat?"
Shen Jinghe's eyes widened in astonishment, subconsciously felt the absurdity and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he laughed angrily, "Why didn't I know that General Liang has so many fallacies?"
Liang Yan didn't speak anymore, looked at him and smiled lightly, with his unpredictable emotions hidden in his eyes.
The black robe fit snugly on his body, and it really protected him from the chill of many autumn nights.With an all-too-familiar breath lingering in his nose, Shen Jinghe lowered his eyes, and his tone gradually softened unconsciously, "...Aren't you cold?"
"This cool breeze is really nothing compared to the late autumn in the northern region." Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of arrogant pickiness in his words.
Shen Jinghe saw his complacent face, curled his lips in disgust, and simply stopped looking at him.He shook his robe tightly again, buried his head again and put his mind on the volumes of the case.
Since this little general Liang was very shy, there was no need for him to be polite to him, because it wasn't him who fell ill due to the wind and cold.
Having said that, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Liang Yan from time to time, seeing that he was still sitting there upright, not even shivering, so he calmed down and looked away.
Are the soldiers in the northern border really so rough-skinned and thick-skinned...
Shen Jinghe shook his head, shaking off the distressed thoughts that came to his mind for a moment, picked up the corner of the book by the warm yellow light and turned to the next page.
Liang Yan saw that his eyes that wandered to him from time to time finally moved away completely, and then he turned his head quietly, looking at his figure who was studying hard, with an almost gentle look on his brows and eyes.
Shen Jinghe thought that he hid his gaze very well. In fact, if it were someone else, he would not notice the vague glances he occasionally cast.
However, what if the person he was looking at was Liang Yan?
Liang Yan looked at his robe completely covering his slender figure, only revealing a face like a crown jade, his heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and joy, as if even the night had become As light and peaceful as water.
Which one did he look at, and he wouldn't be moved by it?
……
The days of concentrating on classics and classics always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the monthly exam in Taixue.
In the past few days, the relationship between Shen Jinghe and Liang Yan can be said to be greatly eased.Although the two of them still haven't returned to their previous intimacy, they won't be as stiff as they were a few days ago and don't say a word.
Naturally, Liang Yan always turned his head to ask for concerns from time to time, and Shen Jinghe would occasionally reply to him awkwardly.Seeing this, Shen Zhuoxuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled and looked at the two people who walked into the tribute courtyard two steps away not far away, and felt that the words he had said to Shen Jinghe before were not in vain.No, his sixth younger brother is finally willing to take the initiative to seek reconciliation with General Liang Xiao, isn't he?
Shen Zhuoxuan sighed softly in his heart, he naturally knew that his younger brother always looked calm and calm, but there was always a looming loneliness hidden in his heart.After finally being able to make a good friend in Taixue who has the same temperament and kindness, he certainly doesn't want to see the friendship between the two disintegrate so easily.
"Fifth brother, did you come so early today?"
Shen Jinghe walked ahead and saw Shen Zhuoxuan who was waiting outside the tribute courtyard at a glance.
Shen Zhuoxuan nodded at him with a smile, and asked worriedly: "Have you brought all the pens and inks with you? Although the answer sheets of the monthly exam will be engraved and stored in the Hanlin Academy, you don't have to be too nervous. According to you Judging from the performance over time, it is more than enough to get into the top gear. Even if you miss it for a while, no one will blame you, after all, this is your first reference, and the main thing is to practice your hands."
Shen Jinghe smiled helplessly, "Fifth brother, why are you like Liang Yan, talking about this over and over all the way." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Liang Yan who was following behind with a smile in his eyes. Pointingly said, "Do you think I look nervous?"
Shen Zhuoxuan laughed, shook his head pretending to be sad and said, "Oh, my brother has grown up, he thinks I'm long-winded..."
After saying that, he looked up at the clear blue sky with his hands behind his back, sighing softly from time to time, muttering "poor" in a low voice, and frowning and saying "sigh".
Shen Jinghe lost his temper completely due to his quarrel, so he could only bow his hands and beg for mercy repeatedly.Shen Zhuoxuan was about to tease him a few more words, but he could only hear a gentle and graceful voice not far away.
"Aren't these the fifth and sixth brothers?"
Closing the folding fan in his hand, Shen Zhuomin nodded slowly towards them with a chuckle. From his expression to his actions, he was nothing like an ordinary elder brother who cared about his younger brother.
When he passed by Shen Jinghe, he said with a concerned face and a sincere tone, "Today is your first time to take the monthly exam, but are you still nervous? I heard the news a few days ago that this month's papers are not as usual It is handled by Xuezheng, but it has to be sent directly to the Imperial Academy to be corrected and finalized by the bachelors."
"But you don't have to worry too much." Shen Zhuomin said comfortingly, "Although the Hanlin scholars are always strict, after all, you are a prince and it is your first time to take the exam. It's not impossible to be considerate for the sake of my father."
"So that's the case, thank you Brother Sanhuang for reminding me." Shen Jinghe acted as if he had suddenly realized, and cupped his hands respectfully, but concealed the trace of sarcasm that flashed across the corner of his eyes.
After saying these seemingly consoling words, if Shen Jinghe is really an ordinary person who has never read any books, I am afraid that the last bit of confidence still in his heart will be completely dissipated by him.
He, the third brother, is used to using tricks such as honey and sword.
Turning his mind, Shen Jinghe's face showed some anxiety at the right time, but he also took the initiative to change the topic, as if he didn't want others to see what was on his mind.
Shen Zhuomin watched his expression carefully, and when he saw his eyelashes trembling from time to time due to nervousness, the smile that had been on his face finally got a bit of real warmth.After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he knocked on the folding fan and entered the arena first.
"Liang Qiu is also equipped with a fan. I really don't have to worry about the wind flashing his tongue." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Zhuomin's far away back, gritted his teeth and whispered this sentence from between his lips.
Shen Jinghe couldn't help but burst into a three-point smile when he heard this, he was just about to say something, but suddenly realized that their current relationship is still awkward.
He glanced at Liang Yan quickly, touched his nose, turned around and said softly "Let's go" to the two of them.
The chief examiner of today's monthly test was Fang Zi Ai Fang Taichang. After all the students sat down in order, he took the papers by himself and handed them out one by one.When passing by Shen Jinghe's side, he gave him an encouraging nod.
Shen Jinghe received his gaze, smiled slightly and nodded in response.As the bell rang for the start of the monthly exam on behalf of Taixue Zhengyuan, all the students hurriedly uncovered the roll cover covered by the cover of the roll paper, dipped their pens and ink and began to fill in meticulously.
Shen Jinghe also lowered his head to look at the test paper. He glanced at it first and had a general impression of the various question types.The first half of the test paper mainly tests the ability to recite the meaning of the scriptures. A lot of sentences are selected from the Thirteen Classics, and the middle line or a few words are deliberately omitted, and the students are required to fill in every word.In the second half, there are only two questions, one is to write a short fu in class, and the other is to write a poem according to the given words and questions.
Shen Jinghe first set his sights on the first half of the scriptures.These questions are ingenious. Thirty percent of the scriptures are classic sentences that are widely circulated and easy to understand at a glance, fifty percent are slightly difficult sentences that require people to think carefully, and the remaining [-]% are There are all kinds of uncommon and tricky side sentences. If you don't thoroughly understand the laws and regulations, you may only be in a daze at these unheard of sentences at this time, let alone fill in its context.
However, this question may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for Shen Jinghe who has already memorized the scriptures so well in his previous life that he can memorize them fluently.He lightly dipped the inkstone into the inkstone with the Zihao pen, and began to answer with ease on the scroll.
Some students with fast writing speed have already written the few sentences in the middle and back, and the hand that writes like flying gradually stops with some hesitation, and only rests their cheeks and frowns, thinking hard about the corresponding words and sentences.There were also those clever-minded people who saw the last few strange questions that they hadn't even seen before, smacked their tongues and shook their heads, and simply skipped them and distracted themselves to do other questions.
Shen Jinghe, on the other hand, wrote down a line of elegant and proper small characters on the roll of paper. Although the speed was not fast, he wrote smoothly and coherently. There was never a moment of pensive thought. .
That is to say, everyone is busy dealing with their own answer sheets at this time, if it is normal to teach people to see it, they will be greatly surprised.Just because he could pick up the pen and write down the missing words and sentences almost at the moment when he saw the topic, as if the scriptures and meanings were not stored in his mind and needed to be recalled. It was placed before his eyes for his copying.
After less than half of the time, Shen Jinghe finally completed all the first half of the questions calmly.He picked up the edge of the rolled paper and shook it lightly, and then carefully dried the newly added ink marks.But seeing that the corresponding chapters and sentences are neatly filled on the white paper, at a glance, there is no blank or omission, as if it is the original text engraved on the wooden board, which is astonishing.
Shen Jinghe looked down at the paper that he had just finished writing, exhaled lightly, and smiled confidently.He put the filled paper aside indifferently, reached for the second test paper and looked at the next questions.
The left and right sides of the second roll of paper are inscribed with the last two remaining questions.Shen Jinghe first looked at the short Fu, the content of the Fu has been drawn up in advance by the bachelor who produced the paper, this one is "Snow Fu".
Are you writing about snow?
Shen Jinghe was silent for a moment, and unexpectedly remembered the ice and snow in the northern border that Liang Yan had told him.Frowning and shaking his head, he swept away the extra irrelevant emotions from his mind, and pondered over how to write.
When it comes to Fu on the topic of snow, the most common students are naturally laying out Xue's physical appearance in a large and generous pen, trying to stack up a prose with beautiful words and gorgeous rhetoric.Some of the better students will not just focus on the snow itself, stick to the outer body of the snow, but will praise the virginity of the snow, the festival of the snow, and then praise the spirit of the snow.
So, is he going to write that too?
Shen Jinghe didn't rush to write, he closed his eyes and let his whole mind wander freely in the vast world.He seemed to be in the cold winter of the northern region the next moment, and all he could see were the pure white snowflakes fluttering and falling all over the sky, as bright as the moonlight.The snow fell rustlingly, and what fell on the high branches was smoothly congealed into a soft ball, and what fell on the stone steps silently turned into snow water with the sunrise, mixed with mud and sand, and flowed in a meandering way. land.
In his mind, he described Xueluo's situation in detail, as if a coolness really brushed over his face.After a few breaths, he opened a pair of clear and indifferent eyes, and there was a gully in his heart.
Shen Jinghe picked up the ink pen, first copied the topic correctly, then moved the pen to the next line, and wrote the opening line.
"The year is approaching the end of the year, and the time is faint. The cold wind accumulates, and the clouds are cloudy. In Russia, there is little graupel, and there is dense snow."
On a cold, windy and cloudy evening in winter, with goose feathers and heavy snow falling, this was the first scene that jumped into his mind.
His pen paused, and he thought about it thoughtfully.It is also snow, if it is thick and full of feet, it is a sign of a good year, but if the snow is one foot deep, it becomes a disaster that everyone fears to avoid.From this point of view, the time of falling snow is different, and the meaning of the omen is also very different?
"The meaning of the time of snow is so far away! Please tell me the beginning. If the law is poor, the austerity rises, the soup and valleys dry up, the scorching wind does not rise, the rivers and seas produce clouds, and the deserts fly sand..."
It's not that he has never seen Shuo Xue in his previous life, but his body is not good, and he is afraid of the cold in winter, so he can only gently raise a corner of the heavy curtain in the beautifully decorated carriage, and look at it in the air-conditioning. Looking at the majestic and snow-covered Xiongshan Mountains in the distance.
He has seen with his own eyes that at the end of the four seasons and when the cold air rises, the streams and rivers, big and small, have solidified, and the clouds and mists are no longer blown away by the warm wind. Unprecedented pride and grandeur.
Such a magnificent scene had deeply shocked his whole mind, but in retrospect, when the snow had not lost its weight and the warm sun was still high in the winter, it was not a beautiful scene.
"If the accumulation is not lost, the day is North Korea, and the death is like a candle dragon, shining on Kunshan. The courtyard is lined with Yao steps, and the forest is full of Qiongshu..."
The brilliance of the new snow is just like the candle dragon holding a candle in Kunlun as recorded in the ancient mythology. The colorful and complicated weather and bright and clean demeanor all satisfy all his imagination about Luoxue who was born in the southern country since he was a child.
Although the endless battles in his previous life have gradually faded away in his memory, he still occasionally thinks back to himself who walked on thin ice every step of the way.Every day when he opens his eyes, he faces the exhausting life of intrigue and fighting, and only in his dreams can he walk through the famous mountains and rivers in person, and travel thousands of miles in the ever-changing scenery of the four seasons.
He once dreamed of a heavy snowfall. At that time, he only thought that such a magnificent scene could not exist in the world.It wasn't until many years later that he took a car to the Northland to meet the newly attached clansmen that he dared to believe that the Wanling Plain in front of him was within reach, not an illusion in a dream.
"If it's Shen Yu's endless fun, the night is quiet and full of love. The wind touches the couplets and turns, the moon bears the sun and shines brightly, practice the accumulation of frost and snow, and pity the contrast of branches and leaves..."
On that night when the snow fell, he stayed in the warm and soft room specially prepared for him by the people of the Northern Kingdom. In the quiet night, there was only the sound of the wind whistling around the corridor. Cut window screens.
Maybe it was because the snow light was too bright. He didn't fall asleep as quickly as expected, but put on a crane cloak and leaned against the door to look at the courtyard where the birds were dancing. The crackle of crisp pine branches.
"There is no reason to complain about the passing of the year, and there is no reason for the reunion after injury. You would rather see the white snow on the steps, which is less shining than Yangchun."
It was less than half a year before he finally closed his eyes and sank into the darkness on the sickbed on the snowy night.
People always sigh and resent the unstoppable time, and weep and feel sad like participating in business, and there is no reason to meet again.
Shen Jinghe didn't quite understand this state of mind at the beginning, but when the snow that night lit up half of the sky, he seemed to suddenly understand the unresolved sorrow of this time—who has ever seen the stage Can the bright and clean white snow last until March in Yangchun?
He paused the hand that was writing, and once again felt a kind of almost moved gratitude for his new life.
Spring has come, but his lonely piece of falling snow has not melted with the sunset, but it has taken root and grown in the vast and boundless world on the other side.The family love, friendship and health that I never expected in my previous life, but in this life, they suddenly fell into my still ignorant arms like a surprise that fell from the sky.
Looking at the last paragraph of the prose, he blinked, and the corners of his eyes were inexplicably astringent.
Taking a deep breath, he continued to write the end of Xue Fu.
"...Although the white feather is white, it is light in quality. Although the white jade is white, it is empty and chaste. How can I be chaste. Su Yin meets Li, and pollution follows pollution. If you have a bright heart, what should you worry about?"
Bai Yu and Bai Yu are light and chaste, but they are not as good as the white snow that cannot be covered by the brilliance of the sun and the moon.Falling snow rises and falls with the clouds, drifts from the wind, and changes shape according to the terrain of the objects it meets.The whiteness of snow is due to the cleanliness of the encountered objects, and the filth is also due to the pollution of foreign objects.
Isn't it just like a person who lives for the rest of his life, as long as he has a quiet mind and a mind outside his mind, there are no worries and managements, so why stick to the so-called high reputation and cleanliness!
After finishing the last stroke, Shen Jinghe let out a sigh of relief, as if he had finally marked the end of those chaotic thoughts.
After scanning up and down, he made sure that there were no grammatical gaps or white characters, and then he turned his attention to the lyrics of the next question.
The title of this poem is "Remembering Dreams", which stipulates that the Cipai is the pride of the fisherman, and he must write down a dream he once had by filling out a poem according to the melody.
Dream?This is a fresh topic.
After pondering for a moment, he took advantage of the momentum of writing prose just now, struck while the iron was hot, and wrote in one go the magnificent and magnificent scene of the boat sailing to the fairy mountains on the sea amidst the wind and waves that he had dreamed of.
The sky is connected to the clouds and the waves are in the mist, and the galaxy is about to turn a thousand sails.As if dreaming souls belong to the emperor.Wen Tianyu asked me where I was going.
I reported that the road is long and the sun goes down, and I have a surprising sentence in studying poetry.Ninety-thousand-mile Fengpeng is moving.The wind stops, and the Pengzhou blows away the three mountains!
Between the clouds and the Milky Way, the heart and soul fluttered and flew to the heaven.The Emperor of Heaven invited him to ask, but the journey is long, so there are no good words. I only hope that one day the Dapeng will rise with the same wind and send the light boat straight to Penglai Xiandao!
Satisfied, he put down his pen and checked his answer sheet again and again, before stacking the two paper rolls neatly in order.
There was still about a quarter of an hour before the bell rang for the end, Shen Jinghe propped his chin with one hand, looked sideways at the neat answer sheet on the table, and sighed slightly in his heart.
This monthly test is very important to him.Regardless of whether he can really make those civil servants write down his name in the Hanlin Academy, it is at the other end of Changle Palace...
He couldn't help but think of the secret instruction sent by Queen Todd Quan a few days ago, only telling him to seize this rare opportunity and try his best to get a good rank in the monthly test.
Shen Jinghe couldn't fully guess the queen's intentions in doing this, but he could sensitively sense that once he could stand out in the monthly test, the queen would use her strength to give him a chance to take another step to the top.
But what if his answer sheet just disappeared from everyone?
He carefully evaluated the gap with the students in Taixue, and finally came to a rather optimistic result - it's hard to say, but he still has some points about whether he can be listed as an excellent student. confidence.
The bell for the end of the monthly test rang in due course, and all the examinees put down their pens with reluctance or relief, and Fang Taichang put away the test papers one by one, and then left in twos and twos.
Shen Jinghe came and walked gracefully, but he didn't know what kind of commotion this paper caused in the Imperial Academy after he left.
……
On the carved square table made of sandalwood, stacks of test papers were stacked according to grades.There are only about 34 good papers on the far left, the good papers in the middle are piled up in a large stack, and there are [-] bad papers on the right. Almost all the well-known playboys in the capital You can find your name on it.
Chen Hanlin walked in the door, patted the wind and dust on his body, picked up the three papers circled with a red pen on the leftmost stack, and asked his colleagues curiously, "This is the paper that you have corrected and selected in the past few days. The top three of the best file?"
Not far away, the Hanlin who were reviewing official documents looked at each other and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you don't know anything about your business in the capital these few days, but there is a little Wenqu star in the Taixue!"
"Oh? Everyone here is not a scholar who has read the gold list of poems and books. If you can get your nod, is it really some amazing talent?" Chen Hanlin laughed, and picked up the top one and looked at it. But seeing this, he was so surprised that his eyes widened.
"These last few excerpts were excerpts from the scriptures that I saw with my own eyes. They were all extremely tricky. At that time, I laughed at him deliberately making things difficult for the younger generation, but who would have thought that someone could do it?" Can you recite the words without falling to the ground?"
Zhu Hanlin looked ashamed, "I originally intended to teach all students to put Kung Fu back to the classics in a down-to-earth manner, and don't be complacent. Who would have thought that I really underestimated the young people today. This hard work of studying, but It's much deeper than when I was young!"
"Brother Chen, let's go back and read." Another Hanlin stroked his beard with emotion, "I don't know which student this is. Not only is he rigorous in the study of classics, but he is also proficient in writing prose and imitation words. Wait for it Xueshi Su removes the name paper, and this old man must see with his own eyes whose son it is."
Hearing the words, Chen Hanlin looked back again, and first read the "Xue Fu" carefully, and couldn't help applauding, "Good! It's a good sentence, 'Because the rise and fall of the times, the heart is bright', Gao Li was amazed, The use of elegance and elegance can really be said to have completely escaped the strong spirit of the predecessors!"
After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to look at the last question "The Pride of the Fisherman", and when he read the line "I report the long road and the sun sets", he sighed again, "This sentence is a paraphrase of "Li Sao"" Lu Manmanqi The two sentences of repairing far away' and 'the sun is suddenly coming to the evening' are not afraid of long-distance expeditions, but only wish to search up and down, and the two words are simple, pure, natural, and fuzzy without trace."
He was still waiting for a few more sentences, but from the corner of his eyes, he only caught a glimpse of Su Xueshi, who was in charge of the courtyard, stepping into the main entrance.At the moment, the several imperial scholars at the table couldn't sit still, they put down their files and surrounded Su Xueshi.
"Master Su, now that the class has been sorted, it's okay to get rid of the ambiguity."
"That's right, all the adults and I can't help but want to see which kid is so quick in writing..."
Su Qingfu nodded to them with a smile, took the high-profile paper from Chen Hanlin himself, and said loudly while peeling off the name paper, "Forget it, the filing and transcription have been completed, why don't you send the paper earlier Send it back to Taixue with comments."
The obtrusive name paper that had been stared into a sieve by all kinds of scorching eyes was finally removed, and the name of the owner of the scroll was finally no longer half-hidden by the pipa.Everyone craned their necks at the same time to look at the document, but upon seeing it, they all took a step back in shock.
"This, this is actually..."
Su Qingfu's hand holding the paper also paused. He looked at the name on the margin, his face full of disbelief.However, soon, this full of astonishment turned into a happy and excited smile.
……
Today's Taixue is extremely lively, it is the time when the monthly examination list is released, many students are absent-minded when they recite in the morning, and look outside from time to time, only hoping that the new list will be published outside sooner rather than later. Anxious and restless without thinking about food and tea every day.
There was no worry on Shen Jinghe's face, but in fact, he also had a faint expectation for the ranking to be announced soon.He doesn't care about the so-called honor and reputation, but he is eager to understand the distance between himself and the culture of this world.
Although the classics and scriptures handed down from ancient times to the present by the two dynasties are the same, in different historical evolution processes, the analysis and identification of the volumes of scriptures and the origins of various schools of thought have gone to completely different branches. , and thus derived many new ideas and propositions.
These differences may seem small, but they have an impact that cannot be ignored on the ultimate development direction of world culture.
After finally finishing the morning recitation, Xuezheng also knew their impatience, so he didn't explain anything more, but waved them out of the hospital to look at the newly established list.
Xuezheng's hand hadn't come down yet, and the restless student had already rushed out like an arrow from the string, rushing to the front of the list without panting all the way, eagerly searching for his name.
Shen Jinghe looked at the front of the list for a moment, surrounded by rubbing shoulders and rubbing heels in black and crushing a crowd of people, and suddenly felt a little weak.He frowned and pondered for a moment, and decided to pack up the books first, and then go to check when there were fewer people.
However, he didn't expect that he didn't even need to move—the crowd in front of the list let out exclamations one after another. Tian Hui screamed, jumped three feet high with excitement, and stumbled through the crowd to look at him with a smile on his face. rushed.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Chief!"
"...What?" Shen Jinghe was momentarily unable to distinguish his words.
Before he finished speaking, Tian Hui had already run up to him panting. He took a breath, and said loudly with glowing eyes, "Your Highness, you are the leader in this monthly test! The leader!"
Fang Pingzhi and Zhu Shan also came over to congratulate him with smiles all over their faces. Shen Jinghe listened to their words in a daze, and for a moment suspected that he was actually dreaming.
leader?he?
At this time, Shen Zhuoxuan also came out from the front of the list against the crowd, he looked at Shen Jinghe and shook his head with a light smile, his eyes were full of pride, "Jinghe, you really surprised me! I have been wearing it for several years. You took off the leader's hat you are used to when you first arrived, but you are talking about how to compensate me?"
At this time, Shen Jinghe broke free from the huge unrealistic feeling, and he finally slowly digested the fact that he won the first place in the monthly test.However, after reacting, the first thing he did was not to respond to the congratulations of the people in front of him, but to suddenly turn his head and look at Liang Yan who had been standing quietly in the same place.
He is the leader!
His eyes were bright, he was about to speak, and he met Liang Yan's smiling gaze.Shen Jinghe just looked back at Liang Yan under the warm autumn sun, the joy and joy overflowing in his heart could no longer be concealed, and it was poured out from the bottom of his eyes and the brows.
He raised his chin slightly, a proud and high-spirited expression flashed across his eyes, and he smiled unreservedly at him.
The wind lifted his ink-like black hair, and against the moon-white plain shirt and charming smile, he was enveloped in a dazzling brilliance for no reason.Liang Yan's pupils shrank tightly as he looked at him, and what suddenly opened was full of amazement that couldn't be concealed.
Looking forward to flying, forgetting the vulgarity when you see it.What is its god, the moon shoots the cold river.
Liang Yanhang's hand at his side restrainedly clenched into a fist, he looked back deeply into Shen Jinghe's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and returned him a faint but extremely warm smile.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?" Tian Hui called several times but Shen Jinghe didn't respond, so he hesitated and raised his voice slightly.
Only then did Shen Jinghe come back to his senses, realizing what stupid thing he had done just now, he couldn't help but turn pale, and coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe just now.
"what happened?"
Fang Pingzhi took the conversation naturally, "We
