[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

The couple over there are showing their affection, and here Jia Yan meets Daiyu in Lin Hai's study. The cousins ​​are no longer seen as much as before.Jia Yan used to study with Lin Hai, and always saw Daiyu once in a few days.

They were still young at that time, and now it is not so convenient when they are older. The last time they met was during the New Year, and then Jia Yan was busy with exams and ignored her. In the past, he asked Changsheng and the others to change for fun. Something for Daiyu.Before he took the exam, Daiyu also gave him several zippers with the meaning of "title on the gold list" and "top of the list".

Daiyu was very happy to see him, although her father Lin Hai allowed her to stay in the study, taught her to read, and even taught her how to read the mansion newspaper.But Jia Yan is the one who can bring her first-hand information, for example, what is the first step of the imperial examination, the county examination?After all, Tanhua in her family has been away from the examination room for many years, so she can't remember many things clearly.

Because of Jia Yan's exam, Daiyu has recently exploded with great enthusiasm for the imperial examination. First, she chased her father and asked him to recall the time of the exam.In terms of the nature and experience of the exam, excluding the results, Lin Hai has no good memories. Lin Hai ran away with his head in his arms, leaving his daughter to his daughter-in-law Jia Min.But Daiyu was mercilessly laughed by her mother: "You don't have to take the imperial examination, what are you doing chasing your father to ask this?" After that, she ran to her father's study in a huff.

"Brother Ah Yan, what does the examination room look like?" Daiyu finally caught someone who could ask any question, and Jia Yan would answer in a short while.At the end, Daiyu suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that I can't take the imperial examination."

Hey hey, Jia Yan almost flicked his neck, how could he be so emotional.He hurriedly said: "Exams are actually not fun, really not fun! Don't mention how aggrieved you are in it, my good sister, you always love cleanliness, if you see that in the number room, you have to leave."

At this time, girls matured much earlier than boys, not to mention Lin Daiyu was extremely intelligent, so even though Jia Yan was four years older than her, he still didn't realize what the little girl's problem was.

Daiyu was a little depressed, and she said slowly: "I don't think it's stubborn, and I don't regard the imperial examination as a stubborn thing. I just remembered that my mother was sick that year. I heard from my family that it was because I didn't The son is worried. If I were a son, my mother would not be sick, I could take the imperial examination, and I would be able to establish a family."

Ah... Well, Jia Yan opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, and felt that nothing he said could comfort her.But I can't say nothing, the little girl is going to cry!

"Uncle and aunt don't think you are a daughter and don't like it?" Jia Yan racked his brains to think of this opening line.Daiyu shook her head, of course she didn't dislike her, Daiyu knew best how her parents treated her, the treasure in her palm, the jewel in her palm.

She listened quietly to Ah Yan's brother whispering: "Then, if you are a son, or if you have a brother in your family, but that son can't study or practice martial arts, and makes trouble all day, he is a dude. Is that important?"

Daiyu shook her head again, and Jia Yan finally said: "Besides, it's something that uncles and aunts don't care about, sister, don't use it to worry yourself. If you really feel that this matter is disturbing yourself, why don't you go How about talking to your uncle and aunt? In this world, only they can answer this question for you, so that you can feel at ease."

"However, if women can also take the imperial examinations," Daiyu put her head on the desk, "the parents will be very happy."

"..." Jia Yan really didn't know how to answer this question. To say that women's intelligence is insufficient is pure nonsense.Poetry is better than him, and reading is not weaker than him; it is barely an excuse to say that women are not physically strong, but far away there is Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, the reputation of the Detachment of Women is far away, and there is Jinshang’s grandmother, the Empress Dowager, that is a battlefield A strange woman who commanded victorious battles instead of her husband.

In "Book of Shang Jun", strong women also have to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the city and daily inspections. This shows that physical strength is not a huge shackle.This, this, he scratched his head, facing Daiyu's sad eyes, he could only falter.But someone said at the door: "Because the imperial court does not need so many officials, the world needs to prosper, and also needs good wives and mothers."

After discussing Jia Yan's crowning with Jia Min, Lin Hai thought that his daughter was also in the study at this time, so he let Jia Yan go there again.Lin Haili went to the study after leaving the upper room. Although the cousins ​​grew up together, but now they are getting older, if they meet, they should naturally be accompanied by elders, relatives or maids.

But Lin Hai never expected that just in time for his daughter to present a big problem to his nephew, he made him listen to the audience.At first he thought his daughter was funny, but then he couldn't laugh anymore, then he felt that his nephew was quick-witted, and then he fell silent again.Finally, seeing that his nephew Qian donkey was too poor to answer, he came out and gave his daughter an answer.

Sometimes people don't need a precise answer, they just need a convincing person to give a convincing statement, that's all.Daiyu's depressed mood was obviously calmed down by her father. Lin Hai asked her daughter to sit on a chair, and asked her nephew to sit down as well, and gave them a lesson on "On the Influence of an Excellent Wife and Mother on Children".

In any case, it seems to be quite effective. Daiyu calmed down, but Jia Yan also felt that it was indeed reasonable.What's more, an uncle is an uncle, and Jiang is still old and hot, so you can tell if there is one as soon as you make a move.

When Xu Zhi met Yangzhou students recently, he often invited Jia Yan to go with him, and sometimes he would hang out with the crowd to watch the students recite poems and fight against each other.It was the first time for Jia Yan to participate in literary fairs for young people, and the prosperity of Yangzhou was also reflected in literature.Whether it is a famous literati or a fledgling young talent, if you don't come to Yangzhou once, your life will be in vain.

Therefore, although there are no particularly famous academies in Yangzhou, there are often famous scholars and scholars who give lectures.Students from all over the world will gather in Yangzhou to participate in the grand event. For scholars, this time is more joyful than the New Year.Jia Yan and Xu Zhi both wanted to join in the fun. One of them knew that he didn't intend to be a scholar, and he didn't want to take this path at all, while the other had studied with famous teachers since he was a child. What those people said on the stage didn't mean much to him. not fresh.

Xu Zhi is a typical fat man with a big heart. Jia Yan only found out after hanging out with him for a long time.Although his teacher came from a famous family, Xu Zhi's plan is to become a people-friendly official in the future, even a county magistrate. "The prime minister must start from the state, and the fierce general must start from the army." He is a man with ambition and ambition!

And when he asked Jia Yan, Jia Yan just shook his head, his parents expected him to study at first.Later, he felt that he was reading well, and his uncle taught him that now he is taking the imperial examination smoothly and normally, but if he is asked to tell what he wants to do in the future like Xu Zhi.He can't tell, for now, he just needs to take the exam well, as for what to do...he can do whatever the imperial court asks him to do.

Xu Zhi comforted him: "You are still young, it is right to want to study and study, don't worry about these, when you get older, you will understand naturally."

Jia Yan expressed doubts about this. Can this kind of thing really be understood "naturally"?Then why Daiyu was younger than me, but naturally asked her why she couldn't take the exam, but I couldn't naturally figure out what I was going to do?

Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, but martial arts are well received. If you really want to judge, it’s just a life-and-death struggle; but it’s difficult to comment on articles, let alone literati. .For example, now, at the end of March, seeing that the government examination is just around the corner, the scholars still hold a literary meeting near the building outside the building.

Jia Yan has been studying behind closed doors for the past few days, and she is too bored, so she followed Xu Zhi over to have a look.I didn't expect to see a real excitement.

The cause is nothing more than a poem, and the talented scholars use Bo Liang style to connect poems, each with one sentence.In order to show his talent and learning, he used allusions that are rare and not commonly used, so when he reached the fifth place, the poem got stuck.Xu Zhi secretly said to Jia Yan: "These people are trying their best to pile up allusions in order to compose beautiful poems. Now that they are done, they can lift stones and smash their feet."

"But I can't pick it up either," Jia Yan said in a low voice, "Brother Zhengxing, can you pick it up?"

Xu Zhi smiled mysteriously when he heard the words, "Shh..."

There is always no shortage of straightforward and straightforward people in this world, so I heard someone among the students onlookers recite a line of poetry aloud, and filled in the middle line.Originally, this matter can be regarded as happy for everyone, but as I said before, the so-called "literati look down on each other", and scholars are sometimes called sour scholars and rotten scholars... There is a poem that should have said this line, but it is wrong. The people above feel lost face.

And the person who followed this poem was not a member of their so-called gang of talented scholars, so he naturally attracted attacks, thinking that he is not a gentleman, if he wants to be a good person, he should teach this poem in a low-key way to those who should read poems That person, this is the demeanor of a gentleman.It is not only rude to interrupt now, but also hurt their face!It's really degrading.

Naturally, the other party will not wait to attack, just say that they are like this, and they are also worthy of being called dignified talents and scholars!

The flames of war between the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, and they were almost about to fight. Fortunately, the students who were watching were separated.Later that person was dragged away, and the rest of the group happily declared victory.

Jia Yan was dumbfounded, what kind of stuff is that?Can it still be like this?People took up that sentence to help you out, everyone just laughed and continued the next line of poetry, but it was going to make a fuss.

I also feel that I am very reasonable... What kind of scholars are these.Xu Zhi stared at his slightly shocked eyes, and Xu Zhengxing said with a smile: "I don't understand, little brother. Some scholars only talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, and what they think about is selling to the emperor's family." .You have to sell yourself a good price. Since this is the case, it is natural that outsiders are not allowed to disturb their valuation. You think they hold the literary meeting for the purpose of reading and learning from each other? Hehe, they want to use this to make themselves famous."

Xu Zhi's subsequent words were a bit harsh, "Look at how different they are from brothel boys and prostitutes, who have been robbed of customers."

Jia Yan glanced at him quietly, Xu Zhi smiled and said: "In this world, there are still many such scholars, and their own scandals will rot in the pot. Even if it is rotten and stinky, it is useless for others to talk about it. And if other people want to throw away this pot of rotten stuff, they will pounce on it like hungry dogs and lick the broth on the ground, saying while licking, even if their own food can eat dead people, it is good. To treat someone else who messed up the pot, you have to bite him to death like a mad dog, this is the mind of these scholars."

Although the example is a bit disgusting, Jia Yan understands that Xu Zhi is mocking those who say they are gentlemen, but think that gentlemen are useless in their mouths; they criticize the improper administration of the government, and there are treacherous and corrupt officials in the court, but in fact they hate themselves. Those so-called scholars who can't be that greedy person.They don't care about the country's court, nor do they care about whether the people in the market can live a good life, they just think about themselves.
