Chapter 96: Heaven Pure Sand (4)
Changsun Hong is indeed boring.
He spent about one-third of the time he answered, not how good he answered, but how bad he answered.
The meaning of the scriptures was originally his weakness, and he didn't spend much energy on reading here. The four books were so bitter and difficult to understand, and classical Chinese was very difficult to recite. He forced himself to write a page of paper, but it was difficult to write again, so he had to put aside his pen and look around boringly.
Due to his location, he could not see Zong Shengxian and others peeping at him.
So the bored Changsun Hong took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed it to the students around him.
"Is this paper very good? It's Ruifuxiang's. If you buy paper from now on, you can buy it here. The price is fair and you will be fooled."
He smiled diligently, quietly put the paper with Rui Fuxiang's address on someone else's short table, handing it back and forth.
The students who were answering the questions looked at the paper in surprise and glared at him. Changsun Hongmei responded with a smile. The students shivered, put the paper aside, and then wrote their own words.
Zong Shengxian and Chen Yu looked at him from afar and looked at each other, and asked each other strangely: "What are he doing?"
"It seems like I'm sending some small piece of paper?"
"Check?"
"He sent it to others, would he help others cheat?"
"But this is not an exam, it's just a literary knowledge, so?"
Both of them were asking questions, and no one could answer each other.
At this time, the gong was ringing and the answer was over. Someone went up to take away the students' answer sheets and collected them into one place, and the teachers from the three academies judged the questions.
The scene became relaxed, and the noise of people started again. The actors came on the stage very appropriately. Another big drama began. The students who were rubbing their wrists and enjoyed the performance with the audience.
There are vendors selling snacks and fruits to peddle their goods. The actors on the stage work very hard and sing them gracefully. The outstanding geisha twisted their bodies and danced music and danced narrative dances. A dance is a story. This is a rare dance that can only be seen in the tile mattress, which makes people excited.
After a few songs of dance, the troupe's Zhu Ganzi stood on the stage, sang a look and led the dancers back, the magistrate, stood up, walked to the front, and took a piece of paper.
"The competition in the Jingyi Field, after a fair judgment, was won by Mo Changbin of Lianxi Academy in Shizhao County!"
With the announcement of Grandmaster Dao, the students of Lianxi Academy in the venue immediately cheered. Mo Changbin stood up, bowed to Grandmaster Dao from afar, and then bowed in a group of fists. He was tall, white and strong, dressed in white, and had the charm of a scholar.
Li Jie on the stage nodded repeatedly and smiled and said to Ding, "Yes, Hezhou is indeed outstanding and talented."
The officials around him also nodded, and they all said that the masters were good at governing the prefecture.
The Grand Master said, "Haha, humble, and bowed with a proud look on all sides.
Ding, the deputy envoy of the commander, was born as a civil servant, but he was tall and well-versed in military affairs. He was a Confucian general and was well versed in literature. At this time, he also said: "Bashu is at the critical point, with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant materials. As the saying goes, one place is full of people, and the land has been growing in endlessly. In this way, there must be many capable people among the younger generation. Ambassador Li, if he can choose some craftable materials and focus on cultivating them this time, he will definitely make great contributions to the court."
"Of course, you, my supervisor, and the commander of the supervisor, follow the imperial edict of the official family and guard the side. The responsibility is to surrender talents without any restrictions. If you can discover one or two uncensored jades through this literary meeting, it will be worth the long journey." Li Jie nodded and looked at the answer sheet presented below: "However, this classical meaning tests basic skills, and the subsequent vocabulary and policy theory are the key points. Let's first record the names of the first few people, and then look at the later."
Grandmaster Dao laughed beside him, clapped his hands, called the servants to come up, and said to the two: "There is no need to be so serious about poetry, songs and essays. After all, this is not a test room. The subordinate arranged some programs. Everyone watched and let the young people write lyrics and essays in it. Isn't it beautiful?"
Li Jie and Ding looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Li Jie said, "When Zong Zhizhou was working in the capital, he had a beautiful talk about staying in West Lake for three days and nights. Now when he arrived at Chuanxia, he was still so wild. It was amazing. Forget it, I'm waiting for a long time today, so I'll let you arrange it."
Grandmaster Dao quickly bowed: "That was boasted by a group of friends, Grandmaster Dao is not as unruly as it is."
Ding? smiled and waved his sleeves: "Zong Zhizhou, don't argue. There is a saying: I am drunk on the world and relieve my worries with one pillow. I won't talk about your romantic affairs. If you have any program, please stage it quickly."
The servants came up and handed over the dishes and wine like flowing water. The master raised his wine glass, pointed at the opposite side, and smiled and said, "Sir, let's drink and watch."
On the opposite stage, two red figures jumped up from both sides with somersaults, like two red rainbows, jumping into people's eyes. Somersaults flipped quickly, and everyone exclaimed on and off the stage.
When Hongying landed and stood in the middle of the stage, everyone realized that they were two heroic women. They were wearing tight clothes and red silk waists, outlining their graceful and beautiful bodies, with black hair, light makeup, and soap boots, holding a single sword without a sharp blade. They were actually two martial prostitutes.
There was another exclamation below, both men and women were fascinated by the eyes, as if many geese with invisible heads and necks were silently fixed on their bodies and looked at the stage.
Li Jie and Ding?, for a moment, forgot to raise their glasses. The four eyes were stunned. After a while, Li Jie slowly turned his head and asked in surprise: "Zong Zhizhou actually invited a martial prostitute from Jiangnan. It's not easy to find it."
Grandmaster bowed his head and said proudly: "As long as Ambassador Li feels happy, even if you spend a lot of effort, the officials will have to find these small things."
The Song Dynasty was open and women enjoyed a lot of freedoms that were not available in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Northern Song Dynasty, women wrestled sumo, which was a movement that had to be naked. Later generations seemed horrifying, but it was not a shameful act at that time. Not to mention the martial prostitutes wearing clothes.
However, there are very few women who are willing to do these things. They must be trained from an early age, selected capable teachers to guide them, study hard and practice hard, and then go to school for many years. Generally, there are no money for tile tramplings. Only large brothels in the bustling fireworks land in Jiangnan have them, and the price is so expensive that ordinary people look down on them at all.
In order to please Li Jie and Ding, Grandmaster said, he spent a lot of money to invite a martial prostitute from the south in advance. At this time, he really agreed with his preferences and received praise. He was also happy and felt that the money was worth it.
Wang Xuejin, the magistrate of Shizhao County, stood up again. He held a glass of wine and smiled to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "What we like about the wind, flowers, snow and moon, scholars must also understand the way of Zhang Chi. Today's second test of lyrics is based on the title of chanting autumn, and the time limit for two female warriors on the stage to dance, each of them writes a poem."
As soon as he finished speaking, he performed a vocal masterpiece on the stage. The two women turned into two red glows, and the red silk on their waists was scattered like the ceiling, and they were about to dance.
