Dingguo

Chapter 228

Su San waited for the scene to be quiet, and then said: "Now, please appoint the imperial commissioner of Wuling Mansion to observe the envoy, Mr. Li, Yushitai Yushi, and Mr. Yin He, Qingtian Wuling Mansion, to jointly unveil the plaque for Wuling University.【】"

Then he retreated to the side and strongly invited the two adults to come forward and unveil the plaque.The two talked for a while, and then stepped forward and took off the red gauze covering the plaque.

I saw a big black plaque with "Wuling University" written on it.These words, against the backdrop of the sun, are full of momentum.

After everyone praised it, many people recognized that this was exactly the handwriting of Mr. Zhou Jizhou.In Wuling City, few people could write such characters.

At this time, He Ying pointed to the two sides of the main entrance and said: "This door plaque is already there, why are the couplets on the two sides empty here?" Naturally, Song Ping asked this question.

Originally, he didn't plan to make couplets, so he left them all the time. When He Ying asked, he couldn't say anything. If he didn't make couplets, wouldn't that embarrass He Ying face to face?

Song Ping learned a lot from Su San during this time.Now I have done a lot of things, and I have more people in contact with every day, so I have become more courageous.Besides, he is also very talented, and his brain is naturally flexible. Once he relaxes his mind, he will not be as dull as before, so he responded to He Ying and said: "It is just for today, please give me a pair of couplets."

He Ying was happy when he heard Song Ping's words.But then I thought, no.In front of these people, if the couplets I made were not enough, wouldn't it be embarrassing.In the future, should the couplets be put up, or should they not be put up?In front of so many people, he didn't have the confidence, so he naturally wanted to ask.

Then he laughed and said: "How can there be such a reason? The imperial envoy's talent is not enough at all. What's more, Mr. Ji, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Xu are all present today. How can we have a share in the couplet? Your Excellency Why don't you come? Your Imperial Envoy deserves the greatest credit for the successful establishment of Wuling University."

Li Daoming laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be a pity that the most talented person in Wuling City is not used here? He has become a dean, so he must leave something for 'Wuling University', right?"

He Ying turned around and said to Su San: "Come on, don't take it off! This couplet belongs to you today. Do it quickly, and we will go inside to visit. I heard that today, you set up a canteen. Everyone has one meal and two dishes, and they have all been distributed, and each eats his own. We will also try your food today. Haha."

All the officials also laughed together, expressing their interest in the canteen.

Someone over there had already brought in a table with pens, ink, paper and inkstones prepared on it.

Su San made a group bow to the surroundings and said: "In this case, then Ning Yuan will also 'leave a name for the past, and leave a name for the geese', and make a fool of himself."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the table, held the pen full of ink in his hand, and stopped on the top of the inkstone. When the third drop of ink dripped down, Su San already had a draft, so he wiped a stroke on the edge of the inkstone with the tip of the pen. After that, it was written on the paper:

The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading, family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are all concerned.

This couplet was written by Gu Xiancheng, a member of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally a couplet used by Donglin Academy. The meaning contained in it is very profound, and the antithesis is neat and poetic.Such a good relationship, if it is placed there, it will definitely be a waste of money, so it is used here.

I also thought, I have been in the imperial court for such a long time, and I may not be able to make a couplet with the style of these ancients. Therefore, after writing this couplet, I also wanted to come up with a couplet, but I kept writing. , directly following Gu Xiancheng's couplet, wrote another couplet:

Constantly strive for self-improvement, always cherish lofty aspirations, be virtuous and carry things without breaking up, and goodness is like water.

The font is vigorous and powerful, with a bit of style.Su San glanced up and down, feeling quite satisfied, knowing that her hard work these past few months was not in vain.

Then he put down his pen and stepped back.

Everyone is a person of status, so naturally they will not rush to the case to watch, and they may disturb Su San's performance.Seeing that he had finished writing, the servants stepped forward to hang up the words Su San had written.

Let's go a few steps forward and go up to that word.I saw that Su San wrote the second copy in one breath, which obviously meant that everyone should choose one from the second copy to make the couplet.

But after everyone finished reading these two couplets, it was a little difficult to decide for a while.As expected, the two couplets are all excellent works, so it is a bit difficult to choose only one pair.

The first couplet is of course excellent; to write a scholar should not only read a good book, but also be related to state affairs.The first couplet connects the sound of wind and rain with the sound of reading, which is both poetic and contains the deep meaning that reading must be blocked by the wind; the second couplet has the ambition of governing the country and the world, and is closely connected with the first couplet.Not only the antithesis is neat, but also the meaning is consistent from beginning to end, which is rare, and it is also suitable for today's occasion, and it is also very suitable for the status of the academy.

The last couplet is also very good; the upper and lower couplets closely follow the school motto, and express self-improvement and social integrity one step further.Teach students not only to focus on reading, but also to have the heart of self-improvement and self-cultivation.It coincides with the meaning of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace. In terms of the close connection with 'Wuling University', it is natural that this connection wins a bit.

All of a sudden, everyone talked about it, and while admiring Su San's talent, they also expressed their own opinions.

Elder Ji stood together with Li Daoming, He Ying, Elder Liu, Elder Xu, Huang Xing and others.While listening to the discussions of the people around them, they talked about their own Fa.Both couplets are good, and they will definitely be used, but for this one outside the door, it is better to choose carefully.

Elder Ji thought about it for a while and said: "Everyone, just listen to what this old man has to say."

Everyone fell silent.

Elder Ji pointed to the Erlian and said, "Naturally, each of the Erlian has its own victories. You have said it just now, so I won't repeat it. Here I will just say a little bit. Wuling University is a free school. Since it is a free school, we must cooperate with it." The common people posted more. This couplet is the first pass for Yixue to meet the common people. People coming and going in front of the gate should know our "Wuling University" through this couplet. Therefore, the old man believes that the elected The meaning is easy to understand, the content is straightforward, easy to understand, and catchy couplets are posted. I don’t know if you think so?”

He Ying's eyes lit up and said: "Elder Ji's words are the best. If you think so, you will be elected to the Wind and Rain Reading League."

All the officials also said in unison: "Yes, you should choose the first one; the latter one is a bit darker. If you are not a scholar, it is difficult to understand at once. Don't scare away people who want to go to free school. Haha."

Li Daoming admired Su San a little, not because he made two couplets in such a short period of time; nor was it because these two couplets were both worthy of the name; what he admired was that Su San was so calm , the chest hides myriads of minds.After all, he could hold back on Su Yi's matter.

Everyone yelled together and chose the previous couplet.Li Daoming praised Su San again.This word is written with iron bones and golden hooks, and it penetrates the back of the paper. It will make your eyes shine at once, and it is a good handwriting.

After Li Daoming made such a point, everyone's eyes were attracted by the couplet itself, and turned to the word again.

Inevitably, there was another discussion, and all good things were piled on Su San.Su San just smiled lightly, and if there were compliments, he just said "thank you" in reply, showing a kind of demeanor of everyone.

Those who waited and watched below, as many new students as possible who signed up, had heard about Su San's talent for a long time, but now they saw it with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but feel proud when they thought that this person was their dean; The group of poor students who hang out with Su San every day, one by one, respect Su San even more, and have long regarded him as a master-level existence in their hearts.

Therefore, the gazes of everyone Su San looked up a little bit.In my heart, I automatically distanced myself from him, and put Su San in a position several floors above her own.

No matter how good Su San's handwriting is, there are times when she finishes her compliments.At this time, Song Ping led the crowd to visit Wuling University.

Su San won today's first prize, and she knew that if she was in the limelight again, she would provoke complaints from some people, so she didn't go forward, but slowly held her back and stayed by her side.
