"Face value" can be said to be the first impression of the public today, and a good "face value" can definitely add points to itself, whether it is an interview or a blind date, because everyone knows the importance of "first impression". There are many who even say, "In this fast-paced society, no one has the time and energy to probe your noble soul through your unbearable appearance." ”
That being said, gold still shines. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a talented man, although his appearance was flawed, he still won the trust of Qianlong by relying on his true talent and practical learning, and this talent was the famous Liu Fengyu. Liu Fengyu, the character Golden Gate, the family is a Jiangnan family, from a small family of solid wealth. Liu Fenghuan is now called "other people's children", the family attaches great importance to the cultivation of Liu Fenghao, piano, chess, poetry and painting, literature and martial arts. Special couplets, Liu Fenghuan is simply handy.
The story of Liu Fenghuan's export of the Union was passed down as a beautiful talk in Pingxiang folklore. The couplets he composed are also solemn and harmonious, elegant and vulgar, and also reasonable. For example: Shiguanqian Temple Drama Stage Association: "The iron hammer is iron, the anvil is also iron, the iron hammer hits the anvil, or the iron strikes the iron; the drama is a person, the drama is also a person, and the offstage stand, it is a person who looks at people." "Shiguan Former Emperor Zhongyan Temple Drama Stage Union: "Gather to look at the predecessors, good and evil are not happy; pay attention to the ancient tunes, and the golden stone rhymes and clears itself accordingly." ”... ...
He was a "bear kid" when he was a kid, playing with kids older than himself every time. Once, when trying to shoot arrows with his friends, Liu Fenghuan thought that he shot far, so he chased the arrow all the way, and even looked up and chased the arrow with his eyes, and when the arrow fell, he directly hit his own eye. In this way, Liu Fenghuan became a child with facial defects, and he was once very depressed at a young age.
Just imagine, it is that children have eyes because of myopia, which will have a great impact on children's lives and habits, not to mention, one less eye. However, this low life did not last too long, and Liu Fenghuan can be said to be born inspirational. Although he still experienced this kind of setback in his infancy, it was the so-called "high reverse quotient" that made Liu Fenghuan quickly come out of the low mood. He still learns poetry and song every day, and makes himself stronger every day.
Even though his body was flawed, he never denied his talent. As Liu Fenghuan grew up, he had become a well-known talent in the township, although everyone knew that Liu Fenghuan was very talented, but the local officials still did not reuse Liu Fenghuan because of his appearance problems. If Liu Fengchen was gold, how could he not shine? Finally, in the township examination held, Liu Fenghuan stood out, and in the following various imperial examinations, Liu Fenghuan could be said to have passed five levels, cut six generals, and killed all the way to the temple examination.
This temple examination is extraordinary, and it is interviewed by the emperor himself. When answering the emperor's direct questions, if the answer is good, there is a risk of losing your head. Therefore, this temple test is not only the candidate's talent, but also the person's on-site reaction, emotional intelligence, iq, which is more comprehensive than the current college entrance examination.
For example, candidates with poor psychological quality, even if they are talented in their belly, will fall behind because of fear or nervousness about the majesty of the emperor. Liu Fenghuan naturally also knows the importance of the temple test, and when others are afraid and frightened, the efforts they have made will create the most powerful self-confidence. At this time, Liu Fenghao did not feel as nervous as a great enemy, but felt that his opportunity to get ahead had finally come.
It is said that "the king of Yama is easy to do, and the little devil is difficult", and the small officials in the township will discriminate against themselves because of their own appearance, and now, finally, they can directly face the emperor to show their true talent and practical learning. If the emperor is also the same as "judging people by appearance", then he does not have to spill his own blood, and honestly returns to his hometown to continue to live his life as a son.
Liu Fengchen was like this, taking a calm step into the treasure hall of the temple test.
Qianlong faced so many Xinxin students, at a glance noticed this candidate with a somewhat strange appearance, Qianlong muttered in his heart: "People with one less eye can come to the temple to test, it seems that they have some knowledge, I would like to give him a problem to examine." Qianlong planned to come up with a difficult problem to test Liu Fengxuan, and the type of question was pairs. This made Liu Fenghuan feel that it was an opportunity given to him by God, and it was also his own strength for pairs.
Qianlong came out with the above sentence: "Can one-eyed people be on the gold list?" This is obviously to use Liu Fenghuan's shortcomings to stimulate him, but Liu Fenghuan is not humble and calmly replied: "Half a month is still dry."
Qianlong: "Can one-eyed people be on the gold list?" Hearing the emperor's upper link, everyone knew that it obviously had a little sarcastic meaning, but Liu Fenghuan was calm and self-assured, blurting out: "Half a moon is still dry", this next link is really beautiful, the body is not disabled, showing his strong self-confidence. "Good! Right, the tone is not small. Qianlong thought to himself.
Qianlong thought about it again, a little interesting, so he came up with a more difficult question, shanglian: "East Qiming, West Changgeng, Nan Xiao Beidou, Shuo Nai picking star Han." Qianlong compared talents to stars, and compared himself to star pickers. At this time, Liu Fenghuan thought about it for a while, and then he answered: "Spring peony, summer peony medicine, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum, Chen Nai Tan Hua Lang." ”
When Qianlong heard it, this pair was really neat, and sure enough, people could not be disguised. However, as far as his appearance was concerned, it would be too indecent to let him become a champion, so Qianlong hand-picked tanhua for him. After that, Liu Fengchen returned to the Yuanxi Ancestral Hall and hung the gold medal plaque of "Tanhua and Di" embroidered by the Qianlong Emperor in the middle of the "Liu Clan Ancestral Hall" at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
