Chapter 212 I insist on ranking you at the bottom of the list
The two poems written by Zhu Pingan are both poems by Zheng Banqiao. In the second poem, Zhu Pingan slightly changed it to make it more suitable for him. In fact, Lao Zheng has dozens more poems about bamboo, but these two are enough.
It would be shocking if I wrote it all myself! I don’t like pretentiousness or anything like that! If it weren't for the fact that I was really depressed and couldn't vent my feelings, and Guo Ziyu came to tease me, I wouldn't be able to write a poem. I don't have much interest in becoming famous or anything like that.
Stop it when you feel good. After Zhu Pingan wrote two poems, he put down the brush and said lightly:
"I'm showing my shame."
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", he was full of misery, what did you do to show your ugliness? , it’s obviously me who’s making a fool of myself, 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.
It soon spread to the first table, where these two poems triggered a stronger reaction than any other poem 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."
He looked up and saw An old man with white beard in official uniform was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Before the deer singing banquet started, this gentleman had spoken, so Zhu Pingan recognized the examiner Zhang at a glance, so he quickly stood up, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zhang."
Master Zhang looked at Zhu Pingan, stroking his beard, and said straightforwardly to Zhu Pingan with relief and calmness:
"I insist on ranking you at the bottom of the list."
Yes. I insist 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?
What was Zhu Ping'an's name originally?
There was a lot of discussion all around.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at examiner Zhang, who had a frank and unconcealed expression. Although he had no extra explanation, Zhu Pingan understood from his eyes.
Did I get to experience this ridiculous treatment that Zhang Juzheng only received back then? !
However, Zhu Ping'an doesn't care at all whether he is at the top of the list or at the bottom of the list. How to say it is like the poem by Tsangyang Gyatso:
The top of the list, or the bottom of the list
The level is there
Neither increasing nor decreasing
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 see that I am at the bottom of the list, I am 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 start a crime and get mad in minutes, Zhu Pingan didn't complain at all, but instead said thank you with a grateful face:< br>
“Thank you for your love, sir. Hu, even though Ping An is young, he understands the profound meaning of the master."
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 sighed that you are a talented person. , when I filled out the straw list and opened the paper seal, I discovered that you were only thirteen years old. If the spirit is too strong, I am afraid that it will undermine the success of the work. The addition of a romantic young man in the officialdom is also a loss for my Ming Dynasty. If you want a sharp knife, you need to polish it more. But today, I will watch your behavior and your work. Love' puts 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, to be Yi Yin, Xiao He, and not to become famous as a young man."
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.
Be careful of arrogance and impetuosity, and be solid step by step
These words were like an 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 I could only push myself to death.
I am angry, haha.
The requirement is that you must be ambitious, but you must take it step by step! Do your best and have a clear conscience.
The worries on Zhu Ping'an's face disappeared for a moment, and he suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help but express his gratitude to the examiner Zhang:
"Thank you for your teaching, Ping An is grateful!"
Seeing Zhu Pingan's sudden enlightenment, examiner Zhang didn't know that Zhu Pingan was suddenly enlightened among the angry young people about yesterday's scene. He thought it was because Zhu Pingan understood his deep meaning deeply.
As a result, examiner Zhang was even more pleased.
For a time, Zhang Zhukao, who cared very much for his younger generation, and Zhu Ping'an, who understood the deep meaning of his elders, has become a good story about an elder who supports and cares for his younger generation in the eyes of everyone. Perhaps in the near future, this good story 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 Ping'an to join him at the front table to enjoy the deer singing banquet.
The invitation from Examiner Zhang made everyone even more impressed by Zhu Ping'an. Based on Examiner Zhang's actions, they knew that the boy at the bottom of the list would definitely get very good test scores. If Zhang If the examiner hadn't been so eager to protect his descendants, Jie Yuan would probably have been named Zhu.
“I’m going to the banquet with you today. I’ll take advantage of it in the future. I’m afraid people with my level won’t be able to join the queue in the future.” Said jokingly.
Although it is a joke, it is probably no less than a thunder in the hearts of everyone. If even Mr. Zhang is not qualified to share the banquet with Zhu Pingan, then what a high grade Zhu Pingan must be.
< br>Why does Chief Examiner Zhang think so highly of a young man like Zhu Pingan?
Although everyone was puzzled, they still looked at Zhu Pingan a little higher.
"Master Zhang, please stop making fun of the boy. Ping An is still self-aware. If it weren't for Master Zhang's teachings, Ping An would have gone astray."
Zhu Pingan looked at everyone's eyes. , with a wry smile on his face, bowed to Master Zhang. Mr. Zhang's words may have put him at the forefront of the storm again.
Just now, I said I was worried that I was too energetic, so how could I not be afraid now? !
In fact, these two "Bamboo" poems by Zhu Pingan are the main culprits. As the saying goes, the words are like the people, but in fact the poems are more like the people. The first "Bamboo" uses bamboo as a metaphor for himself, and actually writes about bamboo and praises it. But it is a human being who said that bamboo "clines to the green mountains", "breaks the rock with its roots", and "breaks through countless hardships", showing his indomitable and tenacious image, sincere feelings and profound meaning. Another poem even more clearly shows that he is not a romantic young man who is good at writing and writing, but comes from a poor family and understands the hardships of people's livelihood.
In addition, as Zhu Pingan understood what he meant, his original worries no longer existed, so examiner Zhang no longer concealed his high hopes for Zhu Pingan!
Tigress was going shopping, but she couldn’t hold him back and threatened to either buy or sell! So I had to go shopping with her.
