Chapter 211 It's the old man who insists on putting you at the bottom of the list
The two bamboo poems written by Zhu Pingan are both poems by Zheng Banqiao. The second poem was slightly adapted by Zhu Pingan to make it more suitable for him. In fact, there are dozens of poems about bamboo by Lao Zheng, but these two poems
Will suffice.
If I were to write them all, it would be too shocking! I don’t like pretentiousness or anything like that! If I wasn’t really depressed and couldn’t vent my mood, and Guo Ziyu rushed to tease me, I wouldn’t be able to write a single poem.
I wrote that I am not very interested in becoming famous or anything like that.
After Zhu Pingan wrote two poems, he put down his brush and said lightly:
"It's embarrassing."
The three words "show your ugliness" seemed to turn into a slap, and fell on Guo Ziyu's face again. Guo Ziyu looked at Zhu Ping'an speechlessly, listening to his words "show your ugliness", and he was full of misery, what did you do to show your ugliness?
, it’s obviously me who’s showing off my shame, okay!
Soon, the two poems written by Zhu Pingan were copied several times by good people, and spread throughout the entire Deer Ming Banquet, attracting applause one after another.
Word soon reached the first table, where these two poems aroused a stronger reaction than all the poems today.
It was only about ten minutes after he finished writing these two poems that Zhu Pingan heard people around him stand up and shout respectfully, "Master Zhang."
When he looked up, he saw an old man with white beard in official uniform standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
%▽Before the start of the Luming Banquet, this gentleman had spoken, so Zhu Pingan recognized the examiner Zhang at a glance, so he quickly stood up, bowed and saluted, "I have met Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang looked at Zhu Pingan, stroking his beard, and said to Zhu Pingan straightforwardly and calmly:
"I insist on ranking you at the bottom of the list."
It’s me who insists on ranking you at the bottom of the list!
This sentence caused an uproar. Everyone around was shocked. How could the examiner deliberately place Zhu Ping at the bottom of the list?
Have a grudge?
Did Zhu Pingan offend the examiner?
So what was Zhu Ping'an's name originally?
For a time, there was a lot of discussion around.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at the examiner Zhang, who had a calm and unconcealed expression. Although he had no extra explanation, Zhu Pingan understood from his eyes.
This ridiculous treatment was only given to Zhang Juzheng at the beginning, did I have to experience it?!
However, Zhu Ping'an doesn't care at all whether he is at the top or at the bottom of the list. How should I put it? It's like the poem by Tsangyang Gyatso:
First place. Or last place.
The level is there
Neither increase nor decrease
My level of strength will not increase or decrease depending on whether I am at the top or at the bottom of the list, and when I saw that I was at the bottom of the list, I was even more motivated to work harder and more seriously. It can be said that I have basically achieved the effect of Zhang's examination.
Just when everyone thought that Zhu Pingan, a thirteen-year-old boy, would definitely make a fuss about the crime and become manic in a matter of minutes, they heard that Zhu Pingan had no complaints, but instead said thank you with a grateful look on his face:
"Thank you for your love and care. Even though Ping An is young, he understands your deep meaning."
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's pure mind and no complaints. Mr. Zhang was very pleased to hear this, "When I first saw your test paper, I thought you were a talented person. When I filled out the test paper and opened the envelope, I realized that you are only thirteen years old. I am worried about your energy.
If it is too prosperous, I am afraid that it will backfire and add a romantic young man to the officialdom. It is also a loss for my Ming Dynasty. If you want a sharp knife, you need to sharpen it more. But today, I will watch your behavior. Watch your work, 'Every branch and leaf is always related to love.'
, ranking you at the bottom of the list. This is my fault, but I hope you will have great ambitions, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and study hard step by step, be Yi Yin, be Xiao He, and not be a young man who became famous.
.”
Yi Yin and Xiao He are both great prime ministers whose reputations have been passed down through the ages.
When everyone heard this, they were all a little surprised that the examiner Zhang spoke so highly of Zhu Pingan.
Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and take solid steps step by step
These words were like enlightenment, making Zhu Pingan feel relaxed all of a sudden.
I just couldn't eat because of the scene I saw yesterday. Isn't it possible that I also fell into a misunderstanding? I wanted to eat one bite and become fat, but in the end I could only push myself to death.
I am angry, haha.
The requirement is that you must be ambitious, but you must do it step by step! Do your best and have a clear conscience.
The worries on Zhu Ping'an's face suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help but feel deeply and expressed his gratitude to the examiner Zhang:
"Thank you for your teaching, sir. I am grateful for peace!"
Seeing Zhu Pingan's sudden enlightenment, examiner Zhang didn't know that Zhu Pingan was suddenly enlightened by the angry youth of yesterday's scene. He thought that his deep meaning was deeply understood by Zhu Pingan.
As a result, the examiner Zhang was even more pleased.
For a time, in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Zhukao, who cared very much for his juniors, and Zhu Ping'an, who understood the deep meaning of his elders, had become a legend about an elder who supported and cared for his juniors. Perhaps in the near future, this legend will spread further, and maybe even
It will also become a literary legend often mentioned in later generations.
"This puts me at ease. Come, follow me to the front to share this banquet." Examiner Zhang stroked his beard and invited Zhu Pingan to join him at the front table to enjoy the deer singing banquet.
Examiner Zhang's invitation made everyone even more impressed by Zhu Pingan. Based on Examiner Zhang's move, they knew that the boy at the bottom of the list would definitely get very good marks in the examination paper. If Examiner Zhang didn't care for his younger generation so much,
, Jieyuan’s surname is probably Zhu.
"I'm going to the banquet with you today. I'll take advantage of you in the future. I'm afraid people with my level won't be able to get in line in the future."
Chief Zhang stroked his beard and said jokingly.
Although it is a joke, it is probably no less than a thunder in the hearts of everyone. Even Master Zhang is not qualified to share the banquet with Zhu Pingan. How high is Zhu Pingan?
Why does Chief Examiner Zhang think so highly of a young man like Zhu Pingan?
Although everyone was puzzled, they still looked at Zhu Ping'an a little higher.
"Master Zhang, please stop making fun of me. Ping An is self-aware. If it weren't for Master Zhang's teachings, Ping An would have gone astray."
Zhu Ping'an looked at everyone's eyes, smiled bitterly, and bowed to Lord Zhang. With these words, Lord Zhang may have put himself at the forefront of the storm again.
Just now, I said I was worried that I was too energetic, so why am I not afraid anymore?!
In fact, Zhu Ping'an's two "Bamboo" poems are the main culprit. As the saying goes, words are like people, but in fact, poems are more like people. The first "Bamboo" uses bamboo as a metaphor for himself, but actually writes about bamboo, but it is people who praise it, and talk about bamboo.
"Stick to the green mountains", "establish roots and break the rocks", "strike through thousands of hardships", reveal his indomitable and tenacious image, sincere feelings and profound meaning. Another poem shows that he is not a romantic young man who dances and writes.
, but came from a poor family and better understood the hardships of people’s livelihood.
In addition, as Zhu Pingan understood his deep meaning, his original worries no longer existed, so examiner Zhang no longer concealed his high hopes for Zhu Pingan! (To be continued...)
