Chapter 1365: In the sea of people, it’s hard to find a confidant
Hearing the “feat” of Fatty Fatty’s exam paper painting, Zhu Pingan couldn’t calm down for a long time and couldn’t understand Fatty Fatty’s magical brain circuit.
"What kind of painting did you draw?" Liu Dadao asked curiously.
“I drew an altar table, lit three pillars of incense, and dressed in the imperial examination robes, worshiped my ancestors at home and told my ancestors the news that I had won the imperial examination.” The greasy fat man stretched out his greasy fingers and removed several plates of dishes. , he simply sketched it on the table, and soon the painting he made at that time was presented on the table in a simple but vivid way.
The self-portrait of the fat man is really vivid. With a few simple strokes, the fat man's own energy and spirit are given to it. He is dressed in a juzi suit, holding three pillars of fragrance, and he is worshiping his ancestors at the altar table in high spirits.
At this point, Zhu Pingan completely understood why Examiner Lin commented that the article was too short and thick-skinned.
You haven’t even finished the exam yet, and you drew a picture of yourself winning the exam and worshiping your ancestors. No wonder the examiner said that your essay was short-skinned and thick-skinned. I guess what came to the mind of Examiner Lin when he saw your test paper and drawing. It was the words Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang, "I have never seen such a shameless person!"
You are truly worthy of the name of a genius. The things you do are unbelievable and ordinary people can never understand them.
"This painting has both form and spirit, how wonderful it is. Mr. Lin is extremely pedantic! He doesn't know how to appreciate it!" The greasy fat man gritted his teeth.
Zhu Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was about to educate the fat man about the taboos in the imperial examination, when he heard the greasy fat man burst into laughter.
"Brother Hu, why are you laughing?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, a few years later, at another provincial examination, I met Mr. Lin again as the examiner. Don't you think my article is too short? Who can't write a long article? Yes. This time, I will write a long article for you to read. So, hahaha, I not only filled up the test paper. It was full, and the table and chairs were all filled with writing. When I finally handed in the paper, I carried the table and chairs together and handed it in. Didn’t you see that the old scholar’s face turned green at that time?”
< br>The greasy fat man laughed and said, especially when he said that Examiner Daolin's face turned green, he got so high that he took off.
The corners of Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched. You are such a talented person!
"Brother Hu, do you know the taboos of the imperial examination?" Zhu Pingan looked at the greasy fat man helplessly.
"Of course." The greasy fat man nodded.
"Then why are you?" Zhu Ping'an said speechlessly.
"Whenever you feel excited, there is no need to suppress it. I am just such a man." The greasy fat man puffed out his chest and said without hesitation.
Zhu Pingan was speechless. How do you win the exam? !
"Of course, I suppressed it later and never did such a thing again." The greasy fat man sighed.
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched again, expressing disbelief in the fat man's words. It's easy for a country to change its nature. Fatty, although you are no longer so out-of-the-box in your behavior, no longer drawing on the test paper or composing on the table, you are definitely still out-of-the-box in your eight-legged essay answer sheet for the imperial examination.
Eight-part essay examination When choosing topics from the Four Books and Five Classics, the content must also imitate the tone of the ancients and speak for the saints. Free expression is absolutely not allowed, no deviance is allowed, and no views that violate the meaning of the saints' scriptures or are inconsistent with the saints are inevitable. Otherwise, losing one's reputation is inevitable.
The fat man is a genius, his thoughts are beyond this era, and his temperament is so, it is too difficult to prevent him from bringing in private goods. However, if this problem is not corrected, it will be difficult to achieve success! Unless all the examiners get through and give you the green light, you will be an insulator.
"Brother Hu, in the imperial examination, eight-legged essays must follow the words of the saints," Zhu Pingan couldn't help but remind him.
“Is what the saint said must be correct?” The greasy fat man turned his head, looked at Zhu Pingan, and asked his soul, “Does the saint’s words that Zhu Zi and others annotate must be the meaning that the saint wants to express? ”
Question the saint, question Zhu Xi!
You are indeed very thoughtful, and your thoughts surpass those of most people in this era. It is true that the sage is not necessarily right, and Zhu Xi's annotations are not necessarily what the sage wanted to express, but
However, if you want to pass the imperial examination, you have to acquiesce that he is right, and that Zhu Xi's annotations are what the sage wants to express. meaning.
This is the imperial examination correct.
"Brother Hu, not all the words of the saint are correct, and Zhu Zi's comments are not necessarily what the saint meant." Zhu Pingan replied, and then reminded the fat man, "However, if Brother Hu If you want to pass the imperial examination, you must acquiesce that the words of the sage are universally applicable. Zhu Xi’s annotations are what the sage wanted to express. The writing and viewpoint are the same as Zhu Xi’s and cannot be inconsistent."
"You have gone one step further than others, but it's a pity that you are still a commoner. Alas, gold is easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find."
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, the greasy fat man's eyes brightened and then darkened, disappointed. He shook his head and sighed.
Uh.
Am I a layman? !
Do you know capitalism? Do you know Marxism-Leninism? Do you know materialism and dialectics? Do you know philosophy? Do you know the theory of relativity? Do you know physical chemistry? you know
Haha, believe it or not, if I pick one out and tell you about it, it will scare you to death.
Hearing the fat man say that he was a layman, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Alas, the world is so big, and there are so many people, my close friend, where are you?! Life is so lonely as snow, this world is getting more and more unlovable." The greasy fat man touched He wiped the grease stains from the corner of his mouth and sighed sadly, like a lone beast abandoned in a corner,
“I know one of your close friends.” Seeing the fat man’s lost look, Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but said.
"Oh, who? How does he qualify to be my confidant." The greasy fat man asked curiously and disbelievingly.
"This person believes in gold, is famous and auspicious, and has the courtesy name Sheng Tan." Zhu Pingan replied.
"Jin Shengtan?! Is it the sigh of a saint? This person's name is quite interesting. You didn't make it up, right?!"
The greasy fat man looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes and said suspiciously.
"Jin Shengtan is a real person, I am not making this up." Zhu Pingan looked at the greasy man with a calm face, because Jin Shengtan was indeed a real person, but he was born in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years later.
Seeing the calmness and determination in Zhu Pingan's eyes, the greasy fat man believed that there was indeed Jin Shengtan.
"Even if there is Jin Shengtan, what qualifications does he have to call me my confidant?" The greasy fat man shrugged his shoulders.
The greasy fat man was very suspicious. In his opinion, his soulmate in this world may not have been born yet, because at least so far, he has not met one, let alone one, not even half of them. Therefore, the greasy fat man did not have much expectations for the Jin Shengtan mentioned by Zhu Ping'an. (End of this chapter)
