Chapter 219 Self-righteous!
Everyone present here is a educated person. After careful consideration of the words, we feel that they are indeed true. Although the words are simple, they contain truth.
Even Master Su nodded faintly.
“If we remain unchanged, it is indeed difficult to make progress. Only change can make us strong.”
The dean gave his approval, and Zhou Qinan became anxious.
"Reform may lead to prosperity, but it cannot be said that if women are allowed to participate in politics, the Great Yu Kingdom will become strong. There is no necessary connection between the two. This statement is quite far-fetched."
As expected of the protagonist, he is quite capable. Zhou Lang said without changing his expression:
"I didn't say that if women are allowed to participate in politics, the Great Yu Kingdom will definitely become strong. This is just an important force, and it is a ready-made force. Women can also hold up half the sky and should not be underestimated."
He said it very casually, and these words seemed normal to him, just casual remarks. But to everyone's ears, it was like thunder!
"What a woman who can hold up half the sky! Based on this sentence alone, Zhou Lang deserves the first place in the case!"
Mr. Su clapped his hands and applauded.
A few female students in particular felt extremely comfortable listening to it, including Weng Zhenshu, whose hearts were filled with emotions.
Zhou Qinan's face was gloomy, the top spot in the case had clearly belonged to him in his previous life, but now that he had lost that identity, it still had some impact on him.
He wanted to refute, but felt powerless. Most of the students were very excited by Zhou Lang's words. If he said something against it, it would affect his reputation.
Fortunately, the academy only had a superficial discussion and would not go too deep. After all, the decision-making power lies with the court and the emperor. If the discussion were too in-depth and caused taboos, that would be bad.
In order to ease the overly serious atmosphere, Mr. Su proposed the next step: compose a poem on the theme of snow fishing.
Writing poetry is much more casual and everyone is happy to do it. After all, it does not require much understanding of current affairs. As long as you read enough, you can put together a poem.
If you accidentally get inspired and come up with a famous line that will be passed down through the ages, wouldn't you become famous all over the world?
Snow fishing.
Chinese is profound and extensive. Just two words can bring up a picture in everyone's mind: an old fisherman wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat, fishing alone in the river. The mist on the river is hazy and quiet. It is simply a beautiful landscape ink painting.
Many students enthusiastically presented their best works.
At this time, Zhou Qinan naturally did not want to fall behind, and with Weng Zhenshu present, he had to show off.
He thought hard for a long time and finally came up with a masterpiece:
The inkstone pool is open and the cold river is frozen. I sit alone on the jade platform fishing.
Suddenly, I saw the buoy sinking into the snowy waves, and the silver scales shattered the white snow in the river.
This poem compares the cold river where one fishes to the inkstone pool of a scholar. The metaphor is very powerful and closely integrated with the identities of the people. The subsequent action description is even more vivid and extraordinary. It is indeed an excellent work.
Many students praised it.
Zhou Qinan was extremely proud in his heart, but he had to pretend to be humble, with a smile on his face and a calm expression.
Then he glanced at Zhou Lang with a provocative look.
Zhou Lang burst out laughing.
What's there to brag about?
He has a lot of ideas in his mind, and has thousands of lines of poetry. Any one of them you pick out is a famous poem. What did he say?
However, he felt that this was an unfair victory and meaningless, so he had not originally intended to make a splash.
But now that someone is provoking me face to face, I naturally have to fight back.
So he also wrote a song:
My hands are still frozen as I hold the oar, and the cold moon and snow on the boat are blurred.
Idle people don’t understand the hardships of fishermen, so they like to draw pictures of fishing in the snow on a cold river!
After reading this poem, Zhou Qinan's face turned pale.
Isn't this just a deliberate mockery of him?
In complete contrast to his poetic style, this poem vividly describes the hardships of a fisherman. There are no jade platforms or silver scales to be torn to pieces. The real life of fishermen is to hold the oars while blowing in the cold, with the boat full of cool moonlight!
Under what circumstances would people choose to fish in the snow?
Have you ever experienced fishing in the snow?
You idle people have no idea of the hardships of fishermen's life, and you just think their life is poetic based on your own preferences.
What's this?
This is just because he has nothing to do and is self-righteous!
Although Zhou Qinan was born in a peasant family, he had never suffered any hardship. His whole family supported his studies and he did not have to worry about farm work. He himself had never done much work.
So much so that if Mrs. Zhou complained a little, he would think that the Zhou family treated him badly!
He didn't even think about whether he could live like this if he was really treated badly. Would he be completely unaware of what snow fishing meant?
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Lang taught Zhou Qinan a severe lesson.
Master Su praised it highly.
He called on students that scholars should not just study hard, but should also practice what they learn and get involved in things themselves. Only in this way can they have real experience and write articles with profound meanings.
The students all nodded in agreement, except Zhou Qinan, who had a gloomy expression.
After the course was over, Master Su called Zhou Lang over and accepted him as his personal disciple.
Zhou Lang was also happy with it.
Although he was a top student before, he had only been in Dayu for less than a year, so he lacked knowledge in some areas. For example, the history and humanities of Dayu were not introduced in detail in the original books, and it was not systematic and comprehensive to find information on his own. This knowledge was not obvious in the Tongsheng stage, but it would involve more in the higher exams. With the personal instruction of Master Su, these shortcomings could be made up quickly.
After hearing this news, Zhou Qinan gritted his teeth in hatred.
Every year, Master Su would accept one or two outstanding students as his disciples. In his previous life, Master Su accepted him as his disciple, but now, it was Zhou Lang who took him as his disciple.
This can't go on!
Although he has the great advantage of foresight, he also needs the corresponding status and position to operate. Now, Dean Su’s disciple status is gone, which is a big loss and is more likely to affect the subsequent imperial examination.
Luckily, he had another arm to help him, so he held on tight.
…
In the evening, after entering the Tongxinsuo space, Lin Shiqi opened the video he posted yesterday.
"Zhou Laosan's evil deeds will be punished. He will fall into the trap without any need for heaven to punish him."
This is the title she gave it for easy classification and searching.
The title adopts the form of a novel, trying to fit the content as much as possible, making the whole video an organic whole and conforming to the ancient style setting.
There are more than 100 million likes under the video!
Even the comments amounted to millions!
Most of them are arguing whether this is a real scene.
Lin Shiqi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you guys continue arguing, but don't stop!"
Then I edited the video shot at the dock today, processed the sound, and posted it online.
"Erlang and Saburo are young, but they have to shoulder the heavy burden of life."
Well, this title seems a bit straightforward. Her literary skills are just so-so, so just make do with it.
