Why is Tang Bohu willing to be a house slave? Why does Chou-heung laugh and make her crazy? (2)

The imperial examinations in Ming and Qing dynasties were divided into several grades. The lowest level is called the provincial examination, just like the current college entrance examination is called Juren, and the first name in the country is Xie Yuan, so the provincial examination is also called Xie Jing; The second level is called the exam, just like taking the master's exam now. The one who is admitted is Gong, and the first name is Hui Yuan. The highest level is the imperial examination, that is, the emperor himself took the imperial examination in the Golden Palace. It's like taking a doctor's exam now, which is the highest level exam in ancient times. Those who pass the exam are called Jinshi, and the first one is the champion. The person who passed the exam from Xie Yuan to Huiyuan is called "Lianzhong Sanyuan" and is the most famous great talent in China. At that time, Tang Bohu was the person who had the opportunity to win the title of "the most talented person". Because he is a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, just like the senior high school entrance examination now, he was the first in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and later he was the first in the country after having obtained the provincial examination, so he was called Tang Jieyuan. I saw that I went to take the exam again. At that time, the major media speculated that, not surprisingly, Tang Bohu was the first one. There is even an exclusive report predicting that according to the momentum of "bull stock" Tang Bohu, it is estimated that he is still the first in palace examination, and the myth of "linking the public with three yuan" is about to be staged. But analysts' comments are always the opposite of the trend of stocks. Tang Bohu, a "big bull stock", just took the exam, and suffered a huge "debt crisis". The reason is that Tang Bohu is not good at making friends. Xu Jing, the son of Jiangyin super-rich family who took the exam with him, became close friends with Tang Bohu. He was very generous to Tang Bohu in money, and he became the "major shareholder" of Tang Bohu, a bull stock. Tang Bohu is only the son of a poor ordinary citizen in Suzhou, so he is naturally grateful to this "major shareholder". This scripture of Xu is very poor, so I asked to help him write some articles before the exam. Tang Bohu thought it was nothing to make friends through writing, so he was invited to write some articles. I didn't expect that this Xu Jing paid off the examiner and bought the exam questions in advance. And the article that Tang Bohu helped him write is precisely the work that should be answered. After the incident, Tang Bohu, a blue chip company, was dragged down by Xu Jing, the major shareholder. In the end, Tang Bohu even went to jail and almost completely "delisted" from the stock market of his life, at least "st". Later, although Tang Bohu was released from prison, two major blows have completely changed his life. One is that he was completely rejected by the imperial examination. In the feudal era of "learning to be excellent is to be an official", the imperial examination is the only way for scholars to enter the officialdom and practice the life goal of "saving the world by reaching the top", and this "three-good student" with good character and knowledge will bid farewell to the examination room, school and everything he has struggled for. The door was closed to him, and the official career of the imperial examination was completely hopeless. For a feudal scholar like Tang Bohu, there is hardly a greater blow. The other is the humiliation he suffered in prison. Although he was finally released from prison, Tang Bohu stayed in prison for more than a year, during which his mental state changed to some extent. In a letter to his good friend Wen Zhiming, he said: "As for the Emperor Hezhen, calling people to seize the imperial edict is like adding wings to a tiger, holding his head high and bursting into tears." In other words, the injustice in this prison is extremely insignificant. In prison, I was often beaten and humiliated by the jailer. As the representative of "super boy" at that time, a generation of young talents, how could Tang Bohu endure this humiliation? Therefore, his madness in his later years should be related to his prison life and his rejection of the imperial examination. Because the development path of official career was destroyed, Tang Bohu returned to Suzhou and lived the life of a scribe. Because in ancient times, a scholar who was not an official could hardly have a great guarantee in material life. Although Tang Bohu has always been famous, the money he sold calligraphy and painting can only be used for living. In fact, he has always been poor, and poverty is another key reason why he has to "borrow" to buy a house and become a "house slave". There is a saying-for Chou-heung! Because Tang Bohu borrowed money to buy a house when he was about thirty-seven, and according to records, he married the girl who smiled at him and fell in love with San Xiao when he was thirty-six. Speaking of the marriage between Tang Bohu and Chou-heung, it seems that we should use the word "fen" instead of "marry", because we have been telling the story of "Tang Bohu fen Chou-heung" all the time. In fact, the Hong Kong movie "Tong Pak Hu Dian Qiu Xiang" starring Stephen Chow is really not an exaggeration. Except for the martial arts and Xiao Qiang, according to Feng Menglong's novel "Tang Married with a Smile", the process of "lighting up Chou-heung" is basically the same as that in the movie. It is said that one day Tang Bohu painted by the Nagato River in Suzhou, and gradually entered the artistic realm. Once an artist enters the artistic realm, he often becomes arrogant. It is said that although he didn't take off his clothes as Zhou Xingxing teased Zhu Zhishan, his artistic temperament was amazing. In this case, only the audience pays tribute to him. How can he come to see you? It happened that a man suddenly broke into the line of sight of Tang Bohu! Speaking of which, this girl named Chou-heung is so clever. She just crossed the river by boat. She smiled when she saw Tang Bohu's eyes sweep across the coast. This smile with bright eyes, like a beam of light breaking through the dark clouds, suddenly pulled Tang Bohu's heart out of the crowd and his artistic madness. This is really the most important communication skill between people. We often say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and a smile is probably the handle on the window. You have to rely on it if you want to push the window. Because of this smile, Tang Bohu fell from his crazy artistic realm to a crazier life realm. He became even crazier and threw away his brush. His eyes were fixed on the boat, watching the blue beauty fade away. Suddenly, he left everything behind and ran to the river to rent a boat to catch up with him. It is said that there are "two smiles" in the process of "chasing": First, when the ship docked, Chou-heung landed and smiled back at Tang Bohu who was still at the bow; After Tang Bohu chased the team to the shore, she got separated from the team in Washington, and Chou-heung ran into them before they returned to the house. As a result, they smiled at each other again. Now, there is always a San Xiao.
