Daming follow the example of the Qin and Han dynasties, every ten miles set a long pavilion, every five miles there is a short pavilion for pedestrians where, friends and relatives travelling far away often say goodbye in this.
Ten miles to have a long pavilion, so the nearby miles of people running to the county boy test are here to say goodbye. The more people gathered, the more students in green shirts and robes carrying their bags. Zhu Shouren, the eldest uncle, danced well and mingled with many students. Zhu Pingan did not know any of them, even the other four who were guaranteed by his mentor. Of course this also has to do with Zhu Pingan’s age, right, the youngest of those other scholars are in their twenties, you are a thirteen year old kid, the generation gap is at least three, who would know you.
Send gentleman thousands of miles, must be a goodbye, countryside neighbours and family members have left, ten miles long pavilion is only left in a few miles around a dozen schoolchildren, but also a few rich schoolchildren’s schoolchildren.
“Brother Wang has long been admired, this time, brother Wang is surely going to win the gold list, right?”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you brother Zhao, my little brother wishes brother Zhao the best of luck in the golden list in advance haha.”
“Brother Zhu it’s been a long time, after you win the exam this time, be sure to wine and dine with me.”
A dozen or so scholars bragged to each other, hearing each other say their own golden list high school or something like that, each one was as excited as if they had drunk a few pairs of small wine.
Zhu Pingan was the only one carrying his bag, isolated, the corner of his mouth hooked up as he watched them compliment each other.
“Hehe, who is this little brother?” In the mutual compliments finally someone found Zhu Pingan, a twelve or thirteen year old teenager standing here why ah, could it be that whoever brought the book boy not, but look at the clothes also does not look like ah, can not help but ask curiously.
“Oh, this is my young nephew, on the river village Sun old showman to do bail five people missing a person, he came to make up the number, long experience.” Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren said indifferently.
“Oh, oh, long long experience, is extremely is extremely.”
The scholars heard this and laughed, and paid little attention to Zhu Pingan, after all, it’s just a brat who makes up the numbers, it’s not a prodigy, if it’s a prodigy or something like that, we’re all from miles around, so how could we not have heard of it. So, it must be just a little kid to make up the numbers, why pay attention to it.
More than ten students agreed to run together to the county town, also on the way to be a good companion. A group of people in the ten-mile long pavilion talking and laughing, and the classics of the son said woo-hoo, lively very much. Before leaving, someone proposed, said what to go before the ten-mile long pavilion to leave a poem, and later high school is also considered a good story.
The group was furious, a fist wiping his palm, waving the ink.
The poems written are very ordinary, anyway, Zhu Pingan did not see who has a brilliant, but whenever someone finished writing, there will be someone pretending to comment a bit, causing a holler of praise.
What a boring ah, Zhu Pingan stood on the side and watched with cold eyes.
Uncle Zhu Shouren also a hand carrying a sleeve splash ink a, level is not higher than these people to where, the frame is full, after writing is also someone to comment on a, around a hooting and hollering.
I guess it is the same odour, everyone is this level, this level of everyone can appreciate, so it will be a holler.
The people have left the ink, listening to the compliments around, can not help but complacent, giving birth to a kind of this day to catch the test I will win the feeling of satisfaction.
After a while, someone noticed Zhu Pingan, with a joking tone, “Here is not a prodigy, do not hide on the side ah, also show us ah.”
Only then did the crowd find Zhu Pingan standing in the middle of nowhere. Seeing Zhu Pingan standing so remotely, everyone thought that Zhu Pingan could not write a poem without any ink and was embarrassed to hide on the side, and they all laughed and cajoled to ask Zhu Pingan to write a poem as well.
People have this kind of bad taste: you’re not happy, so tell me what you’re not happy about to make me happy.
Everyone decided that Zhu Pingan, with no ink on his chest, was a fish-eye to make up the numbers, but the more this happened, the more people wanted to see Zhu Pingan make a fool of himself.
Therefore, the crowd was very enthusiastic, and some people even grabbed Zhu Pingan and mentioned him to the table where the ink, paper and inkstones were placed, relying on the fact that they were tall and big.
Surrounding them was a circle of students who were as excited as chicken blood.
“I, I don’t know how to write poetry.”
Everyone’s interest was so high, so Zhu Pingan thought to cooperate, his naive face squeezed with a bad smile.
Hearing Zhu Ping An say that he doesn’t know how to write poems, everyone became even more excited, don’t know how to write poems, that’s really great, quick one to make us happy.
“Little friend, don’t be modest, write it quickly.”
The group was furious, the hospitality was hard to resist, Zhu Pingan could only grab the brush with one hand with a bitter face.
This is how to hold the brush posture, how with chopsticks like, hold too high, the onlookers whispered, and then whispered eat eat laugh out.
Zhu Pingan in the ridicule, even more embarrassed, hands and feet in a mess to correct the posture of the brush.
In the midst of the crowd’s whispered laughter, Zhu Pingan dropped the first sentence.
“Once bitten by a snake.”
The crowd saw the situation, slightly stopped laughing, what is this, is not everyone often say that once bitten by a snake of the proverb, how also to him as a poem to use, and see what his next sentence is.
Didn’t let everyone wait too long, Zhu Pingan dropped the next sentence.
“Everywhere I hear the crowing birds.”
This sentence out, many people can not help but laugh, what with what it is, playing the piano, this child has not been to school, it will not be what he knows to cope with it.
In everyone’s laughter, Zhu Pingan continued to write.
“Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, a line of white herons on the blue sky.”
After writing and closing his pen, Zhu Pingan looked at his masterpiece and made an appearance of waiting for everyone to comment and praise him, as if he was satisfied with his own poem that he had put together in a haphazard manner.
Once bitten by a snake, one can hear crowing birds everywhere.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, a line of egrets grows in the blue sky.
The crowd of onlookers, looking at Zhu Ping An’s haphazard poem, and then looking at Zhu Ping An’s naive and silly appearance waiting for everyone to praise him, one by one could no longer hold back.
You are here to be funny!
The whole poem sounds like it rhymes, but the first line is a five-character poem, but the second line has become a lyric. Moreover, the whole poem is cobbled together from other poets and lyricists, except for the vernacular that anyone can say outside the Long Pavilion, by the ancient road. The line “Once bitten by a snake” is a common saying, and the line “Everywhere I hear crowing birds” is from Meng Haoran’s “Spring Dawn” of the Tang Dynasty, while the line “A line of white egrets goes up to the blue sky” is from Du Fu’s “Absolute Verse” of the Tang Dynasty.
“It’s really degrading.”
“The words don’t make sense, but the poems are a complete mess.”
“He’s not a scholar.”
The people are all laughing their stomachs, this is who’s stupid child ah, this level also come to the children’s test, but also too much to let us feel off grade it, this level is to make up the number is also messed up, Sun old Xiu Cai is also the old eyesight blurred it, sent this goods to make up the number. The eldest uncle Zhu Shouren are silently away from Zhu Pingan far away, lest by the crowd to remember their own and Zhu Pingan’s relationship to.
Especially let everyone feel funny, that stupid boy also look at everyone laugh along with the laugh it.
People are so stupid that they don’t realise it.
At this moment, the crowd’s thoughts were on the same page as Zhu Pingan.
