Chapter 37: Deliberately making things difficult
Yang Tongzhi sat down, smiled, and said, "Have you not had enough sleep from Mr. Fang?"
He first cared about Mr. Fang like a spring breeze. After all, this person was a famous scholar. Now he deliberately found Zhu Zihe and Chen Kaizhi, but it was not appropriate to tear him apart with Mr. Fang in public.
Mr. Fang knew that Yang Tongzhi came here intentionally. When they waited, all the wet clothes were dry, but he was still as if nothing had happened. Even if he knew that Yang Tongzhi did it on purpose, Mr. Fang had no choice but to argue, after all, he was a big official!
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Mr. Fang said to Yang Tongzhi with neither humility nor arrogant words: "Caomin is old and his health is indeed not as good as before."
"If this is the case, you should take care of yourself." Yang Tongzhi smiled slightly, and never looked at Chen Kaizhi from beginning to end.
Other officials and celebrities invited nodded and said yes, and the atmosphere began to ease a lot.
Yang Tongzhi seemed to be the focus of everyone, and he continued: "A few days ago, there was a student named Wang, what did Wang come from?"
Xuezheng sat sideways and said hurriedly: "It's Chen Kaizhi."
"Yes." Yang Tongzhi smiled: "There is a man named Chen Kaizhi. I don't know much about this person. Please ask the magistrate Zhu to say that. magistrate Zhu has a close relationship with him, right?"
Zhu Zihe said: "He is a student in this county, and the official is responsible for education, and that's all."
"Ha..." Yang Tongzhi smiled meaningfully, "It may not be true, who can explain this kind of thing clearly?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense again. The people who were laughing on their faces just now were all embarrassed and deliberately served tea to drink.
County Magistrate Zhu said: "I am doing well and sitting upright, and I cannot be judged."
"Of course it's impeccable." Yang Tongzhi slowly knocked the desk with his fingers, making a sound, and said, "But the list of students has been issued, but he still wants to plead for personal gain. What is this regarding our government? Is this Caishikou? Now some officials in the government are becoming more and more arrogant. They are in trouble and have no restraint. What is this? Nonsense!"
Yang Tongzhi's face turned red and became righteous: "Now the country is generally peaceful. Since it is dependent on the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to rule the world, secondly, there are many heroes. Where did these heroes in the temple come from? It depends on the local area to select talented people through the imperial examinations, and the country is raising scholars. However, there are actually people who want to try to point fingers at the government. Now that the prefect has not yet taken office, I am proud of my official position. How can I indulge such a trend? It's ridiculous!"
County Magistrate Zhu had a dark face: "The lord is so proud and honest, but he is respectable, but..."
"Just... just what?" Yang Tongzhi was arrogant and slapped the table: "Is it just that someone can dare to interfere in the house for his own selfishness? Haha, now the Japanese official has a first word. If this official is in office for one day, he will never allow some people to do whatever they want."
When he saw the County Magistrate Zhu looking at him coldly, he wanted to laugh, but he sat down slowly and looked at him with the County Magistrate Zhu.
The officials in the hall were already so scared that they dared not let out. The Tongzhi and the county magistrate had just started and had already broken their faces. It seemed that today did not end so easily.
The old magistrate Zhu County was still alive, not moved by Yang Tongzhi's sharpness, and he still had a cold face. He immediately smiled: "Yes, because he could not favoritism, he called Chen Sheng to take the school exam in front of everyone. If a child can teach, he will naturally not be humiliated. The pearl is covered with dust. What a pity? What do you think?"
Yang Tongzhi nodded: "Chen Kaizhi."
Chen Kaizhi slowly walked into the hall and saluted Yang Tongzhi.
The smell of gunpowder was too strong just now, but fortunately, he was not afraid of being a human being for two lives and bowed to Yang Tongzhi: "I have met you."
Yang Tongzhi said coldly: "Now the Japanese official test teaches you. If you can answer, I will naturally support you, but if you can't answer..."
His eyes slanted and swept past the face of County Magistrate Zhu like a knife.
He put his hand on the desk and said, "You can listen to the question."
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Kaizhi. These officials and celebrities never expected that a small student would cause a big fight between prefectures and counties. Naturally, most people disagree with Chen Kaizhi. In their opinion, Chen Kaizhi was just an introductory person. At most, the role of the fuse made the backlog of conflicts between prefectures and counties burst out.
Yang Tongzhi said slowly: "It is natural for scholars to be familiar with some poetry and books. However, I think that a person can get a glimpse of the essence from his talent. All talented men who have always been good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are well versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. Therefore, I am unique and I am not as good as anything else. I just want to ask you, can you understand music?"
When I heard the rhythm, many people became interested.
Chen Chengping has been for hundreds of years. The longer he has been, the more popular he is in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are. Everyone here is well versed in this way. Unexpectedly, Yang Tongzhi came up with such a question. It seems that he wants to help everyone solve the boredom.
When Mr. Fang heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Although he had known that Yang Tongzhi would never give Chen Kaizhi a chance to solve the problem easily, he was really afraid of anything. This kid was vulgar and knew nothing about the rhythm. No, he didn't know anything about the rhythm, and he didn't even have the ability to appreciate it. Now... he was going to lose a lot.
Mr. Fang could almost imagine Chen Kaizhi's at a loss, and then made a burst of laughter.
Mr. Fang couldn't help but feel depressed, ah...
Yang Tongzhi smiled and said, "I am the most famous teacher, and I am a gentleman. Since a famous teacher has a high disciple, this question is not difficult for you. Chen Kaizhi. You Chen Kaizhi will play a song for me. If you can enter the elegant hall, I will naturally not make things difficult for you. But if you know nothing and don't learn or learn..." Yang Tongzhi looked straight: "I will never give up easily."
County Magistrate Zhu had a gloomy face. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the "talent" in the teaching exam. Mr. Fang was even more like a thorn in his throat, and his heart suddenly felt a little hurt again.
Chen Kaizhidao: "Playing the piano? Students don't know much about the piano."
Fang Tongzhi leaned on the official hat chair, looked around, and joked in a relaxed tone: "You are Mr. Fang's disciple, so don't be humble."
His eyes swept across the faces of officials and other gentry celebrities, and everyone laughed: "Yes, yes, it's just right to teach me how to open my eyes."
"A famous teacher produces a good disciple, but it is not bad."
"Since you are the one who is the Tongzhi asked the question, how can you be picky?"
Chen Kaizhi was helpless and had to sigh and said, "The student had to make it difficult."
Someone had already prepared and came with a piano. Someone brought the cushion. Chen Kaizhi sat on the cushion. Dozens of officials and gentry around were all looking at Chen Kaizhi attentively.
Fortunately, Chen Kaizhi was thick-skinned and touched the piano. In his previous life, he had learned to play the piano, and the difference between the piano and the piano was not very big.
Chen Kaizhi was ashamed. At this time, he didn't care about other people's gazes. Ning Xin calmed down and thought to himself that the skills of playing piano and zheng are actually very similar. Perhaps the biggest difference is that the surface of the piano and zheng are different. When playing, the fingers are different, and the sounds are naturally different.
The principle of the piano in this era is similar to the previous life, okay, it's hard to do it.
He smiled and said, "Don't be surprised if you don't play well."
Fang Tongzhi just smiled, and cold Ran was passing through his deep eyes.
Mr. Fang couldn't help but sit firmly. He was afraid that he would lose his composure later. Others thought that Chen Kaizhi might just be modest, but no one knows his disciples. This vulgar guy is really not modest...
At this time, Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath and stretched out his hand.
Everyone thought he was going to start playing.
Who knew that Chen Kaizhi plucked the strings, and the strings suddenly made a sharp sound.
"I'll try it first!"
“………”
Everyone was shocked.
Audition...
But I saw Chen Kaizhi very serious and tweaked every string. For a moment, all kinds of high or low sounds sounded.
This feeling...
