The scholar went to catch the exam
In ancient times, there was a scholar named Li Qingyun, who was born in a poor peasant family, was smart and studious since he was a child, read poetry and books, and was determined to change his fate through the imperial examination and glorify the lintel. This year, Li Qingyun packed his bags, said goodbye to his parents, and embarked on the road to the capital to catch the exam.
Along the way, Li Qingyun trekked through mountains and rivers and experienced many hardships. His heart is filled with curiosity about the unknown world and a vision for the future. One day, when he reached the foot of a majestic mountain, it was already sunset, and twilight. Li Qingyun saw a quaint inn in front of him, so he decided to rest here and go again tomorrow.
Although the inn is old, it also has a unique style. As soon as Li Qingyun walked in the door, he smelled a faint aroma of wine. He looked around and saw that the store was already full of customers, and three of them were particularly eye-catching. They were dressed in long robes, with extraordinary bearings, and they were sitting around drinking and talking. Li Qingyun thought to himself, this may also be a fellow practitioner who went to Beijing to take the exam, so he might as well come forward and make friends.
So, Li Qingyun stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Under Li Qingyun, he is also a scholar who went to the capital to take the exam. Seeing that the three brothers are imposing and extraordinary, I wonder if they can drink together and talk about the future together?"
The four of them sat around a table, Li Qingyun called the store, ordered a few side dishes, and asked for a pot of good wine. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the four of them gradually became acquainted. Li Qingyun asked the three Xiucai many questions about the imperial examination, and the three Xiucai did not hesitate to share their experience and insights.
While talking and laughing, a Xiucai suddenly said: "Brother Li, since you are going to Beijing to catch the exam, have you ever thought about how to deal with those three test questions?" Li Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself: These three Xiucai are really extraordinary, and they can know the test questions in advance. He hurriedly asked for advice: "Please also ask my brother for guidance." ”
The Xiucai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, although we can't predict the test questions, we can remind you of some key points for the test." This first question often examines the candidate's talent and knowledge. You need to be well-read and well-informed to be able to deal with it. ”
Li Qingyun nodded yes, and secretly wrote it down in his heart. I heard another Xiucai continue: "This second test question pays more attention to the candidate's thinking ability and adaptability. In the exam room, there are many changes, and you need to stay calm and flexible to stand out. ”
Li Qingyun was fascinated by what he heard, and he admired the insights of this talent so much. The last Xiucai added: "As for the third question, it is the most crucial one. It often hides the deep meaning and expectation of the examiner, and you need to carefully figure it out and experience it carefully in order to grasp its essence and get a high score. ”
Li Qingyun benefited a lot from the words of the three talents, and he deeply felt that he still had many deficiencies to make up. Therefore, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the three Xiucai and decided to redouble his efforts in the next journey to achieve good results in the imperial examination.
As the night wore on, the lights in the inn were gradually extinguished. Li Qingyun was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The words of the three Xiucai kept echoing in his mind, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming imperial examinations. He knew that this was an opportunity to change his fate, and it was also a test of his talent and knowledge.
In the following days, Li Qingyun traveled all the way, through thick and thin. He always kept in mind the advice of the three talents, constantly reviewed the scriptures, practiced the articles, and improved his talent and knowledge. At the same time, he also learned how to stay calm and flexible in response to unexpected situations.
Finally, on a sunny morning, Li Qingyun arrived in the bustling capital. He stood at the foot of the high city tower, looking at the majestic palace and the bustling crowd, his heart full of excitement and anticipation. He knew that he was about to face the most important test of his life and that he would embark on a new journey.
This is the beginning of the story of Li Qingyun's rush to take the exam. In the coming days, he will show his talent and knowledge in the imperial examinations, and compete with many candidates for that precious fame. And his fate will also change dramatically in this exam.
The moment Li Qingyun stepped into the capital, he felt the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city. As he walked down the wide streets, he heard the clamor and noise of all sorts of hawkers, and in front of him were the rows of shops and the endless stream of pedestrians. He took a deep breath, his heart filled with longing and anticipation for the future.
During his time in the capital, Li Qingyun not only concentrated on preparing for the exam, but also met many like-minded friends. They discuss together, exchange ideas, encourage each other, and make progress together. Li Qingyun also learned a lot of valuable experience and knowledge from them, which made him more handy in the preparation process.
Finally, the day of the imperial examination came. Li Qingyun came to the examination room early, only to see that there were already many candidates gathered there. They nervously read the scriptures, whispered their thoughts, or silently prayed for good luck. Li Qingyun also felt unprecedented tension and pressure, but he knew that he had to remain calm and confident in order to cope with the next challenges.
The exam began, and one after another test questions were displayed in front of Li Qingyun's eyes. He followed the instructions of the three talents and calmly coped with each test question. The first test question examines talent and knowledge, and Li Qingyun completed the article freely with his profound skills and extensive knowledge, which won the appreciation of the examiner. The second question focuses on thinking ability and adaptability, Li Qingyun calmly analyzed, responded flexibly, and showed excellent thinking logic and adaptability.
As for the third test question, Li Qingyun pondered it with all his heart and deeply experienced it. He carefully studied the deep meaning of the test questions, combined his own insights and experiences, and wrote an essay with both depth and breadth. This article not only won high praise from the examiners, but also made Li Qingyun stand out among many candidates.
After the exam, Li Qingyun returned to his residence and waited for the day when the list was released. During this time, he did not relax his requirements for himself, but continued to review the scriptures and improve his knowledge. He knows that no matter what the outcome, he has done his best and gained a lot of valuable experience and knowledge.
Finally, the day of the release of the list has come. Li Qingyun came to the front of the list early, only to see that it was already full of people. He nervously searched for his name, for fear of missing something. Finally, in the middle of the list, he saw his name - Li Qingyun, a high school jinshi!
Li Qingyun burst into tears with excitement, he knew that his years of hard work had finally paid off. He raised his hands to the sky, thanking fate for the favor and the three talents for their guidance and help. He knows that this is just a new beginning, there is still a long way to go, and he will continue to work hard and pursue higher achievements.
Li Qingyun's story has become a good story in Beijing, and his talent and hard work have won people's admiration and appreciation. He has also become a role model and inspiration for many young people, inspiring them to forge ahead and pursue their dreams.
And Li Qingyun himself also began his career. He was diligent in his administration and loved the people, fair and honest, and made many contributions to the country and the people. He always remembered the guidance and help of those three talents, and turned their teachings into his own motivation to move forward. As a result of his efforts, his hometown has also become richer and more prosperous, becoming a place of hope and vitality.
As the years passed, Li Qingyun's name gradually precipitated in the long river of history, but his story and spirit remained in people's hearts forever. He has written a legendary life with his efforts and talents, and also interpreted what real success and achievement are with his actions.
And those three talents have also become Li Qingyun's eternal mentor and best friend. He often recalls the time he spent drinking and talking with them, and his heart is filled with gratitude and respect. He knows that without their guidance and help, he would not have the achievements and brilliance he has today.
The news of Li Qingyun's high school jinshi soon spread back to his hometown, and his parents and relatives were overjoyed, and the whole village was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. The villagers came to congratulate one after another, and the front of the Li family was crowded with people, and it was very lively. Li Qingyun returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, reunited with his relatives, and shared his joy and experience.
During the days of staying in his hometown, Li Qingyun did not forget the kindness of the three talents. He prepared a generous gift and went to the inn where they had met, wanting to thank them in person. However, when he arrived at the inn, he found that the three Xiucai had already left, leaving only a few lines of elegant handwriting: "Qingyun is straight up, don't forget your original intention, the future is bright, and there will be no future." ”
Li Qingyun looked at the handwriting, and endless emotion surged in his heart. He knew that these three talents must be masters outside the world, and their appearance was just to light a bright light on their own life path. Although I will no longer be able to see them, their teachings and kindness will always be remembered in Li Qingyun's heart.
After returning to the capital, Li Qingyun began his career as an official. When he first entered the officialdom, he showed extraordinary talent and ability. He was diligent in his administration and loved the people, fair and honest, and was deeply loved and respected by the people. His political achievements were outstanding, and he was soon appreciated and promoted by the imperial court.
However, officialdom is not all easy. With the rise of Li Qingyun's position, he also encountered more and more challenges and difficulties. Sometimes he has to deal with the oppression and exclusion of the powerful, and sometimes he has to deal with complex political struggles and conspiracies. But no matter what difficulties he encountered, Li Qingyun always maintained a clear head and firm conviction. He kept in mind the teachings of those three talents, and used his wisdom and courage to resolve one crisis after another.
With Li Qingyun's efforts, his career is getting smoother and smoother, and his reputation is getting louder and louder. He became an important minister of the imperial court and made many outstanding contributions to the country and the people. His deeds have been passed down as good stories, and his spirit has become an example for future generations to follow.
As the years passed, Li Qingyun gradually grew old. However, he did not relax his demands on himself as he grew older. He still retains the enthusiasm and drive of his youth, and continues to dedicate his strength to the country and the people.
In his later years, once again he passed by the inn where he had met three talents. He stood in front of the inn, recalling the scene of the year, and his heart was full of emotion. He knew that the reason why his life was so brilliant was inseparable from the guidance and help of those three talents.
So, Li Qingyun set up a stone tablet in front of the inn, which engraved the handwriting left by the three Xiucai: "Qingyun goes straight up, don't forget the original intention, the future is bright, and there will be no future." He hopes that this stele can be preserved forever, so that future generations can also feel the wisdom and kindness of those three talents.
In the end, Li Qingyun finished his life in peace and contentment. Although his life was full of challenges and difficulties, he always maintained firm belief and unremitting efforts, and finally realized his dreams and pursuits.
