Chapter 6 "Yesheng"

There is a young man named Ye in Huaiyang, Henan, but his name is unknown.His articles and Fu were second to none at the time; but his fate was not good, and his name was always lost. It just so happened that Ding Chenghe from Kanto came to serve as the county magistrate of Huaiyang.He admired his article very much and thought it was unusual, so he called Ye Sheng to talk to him, and it turned out that he paid more attention to it, so he asked Ye Sheng to study in the county government, and often donated money and food to his family.When it was time for the examination, Ding Gong praised Ye Sheng in front of the envoys, and he won the first place in the examination.Ding Gong placed great hopes on Ye Sheng's future.After the township examination, Mr. Ding asked Ye Sheng to read his manuscript, and he applauded it.Unexpectedly, luck is limited to people, even though the article is not good, after the publication of the list, Ye Sheng still loses his name.He returned home dejectedly, feeling ashamed that he had failed Mr. Ding's expectations, emaciated and dumb like a puppet.Ding Gong heard that he was called to comfort him, and Ye Sheng burst into tears.Ding Gong sympathized with him very much, and made an appointment to go north with him when his three-year term expired.Ye Sheng was very grateful.Say goodbye to Ding Gong and go home, and never leave the door behind closed doors.

Not long after, Ye Bing fell on the bed.Ding Gong often sent him things to comfort him; but Ye Sheng took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work at all.Ding Gongyi happened to be dismissed from office for offending his superiors, and was about to leave his post and return to his hometown.He wrote a letter to Ye Sheng, roughly saying: The date of my return to the east has been set, so the reason why I have not left is to wait for you.If you come in the morning, I can go on the road in the evening.The letter was sent to the hospital bed. Ye Sheng cried very sadly when he saw the letter. He asked the messenger to send a message to Mr. Ding, saying: I am very ill and it is difficult to recover immediately. Please leave first.The sender went back and told the truth.Ding Gong couldn't bear it and left, still waiting for him slowly.

A few days later, the gatekeeper suddenly announced that Ye Sheng had arrived.Ding Gong was overjoyed and came to greet him.Ye Sheng said: Because of the villain's illness, Mr. Lao, you waited for a long time, and my heart is not at peace.I am lucky to be by your side today.Ding Gong packed up his luggage and hurried to the morning.When Ding Gong returned home, he asked his son to worship Ye Sheng as his teacher, and asked him to take good care of him. He studied with him every morning and evening.Mr. Ding's name is Zaichang. He was sixteen years old at the time and could not write articles yet.But he is very clever. If you read the article two or three times, you will never forget it.After a year, the son was able to write a pen and write, and with Ding Gong's strength, he entered the county school and became a scholar.Ye Sheng copied all the stereotyped essays he had carefully drafted in his life and taught his son to read them.As a result, the seven questions in the township examination were all in the preparation work, and none of them were missed, and the young master got the second place in the examination.

One day, Ding Gong said to Ye Sheng: You can just take out a few of the articles you wrote, and you will make the child famous.With your high talent, but you fail to succeed after repeated trials, there is nothing you can do!Ye Sheng said: I'm afraid this is predestined.However, thanks to your family, I can breathe out for the article and let the world know that my half-life has been degraded, not because the article is inferior, and my wish is fulfilled.Besides, if a person who studies can gain a confidant, he will have no regrets, so why must he win fame by himself in order to be considered outstanding!Ding Gong thought that Ye Changsheng lived in other provinces for a long time, and he was afraid that he would miss the annual examination, so he persuaded him to go home.When Ye Sheng heard about it, a sad and unhappy look appeared on his face.Ding Gong couldn't bear to force him to leave, so he told the young master to donate money for Ye Sheng when he went to the capital to take part in the examination.

Mr. Ding passed the Jinshi examination and was appointed to be in charge of the ministry.When he took office, he took Ye Sheng with him, and sent him to study in the Imperial College of the Taixue, and stayed with him sooner or later.A year later, Ye Sheng took the Shuntian Prefecture Examination and finally passed the Juren examination.Just when Mr. Ding was appointed to be in charge of Nanhe's official affairs, he said to Ye Sheng: This is not far from your hometown.Mr. has achieved great success, how happy it is to return home.Ye Sheng was also very happy.They set out on an auspicious day.When they arrived at the boundary of Huaiyang County, Mr. Ding sent his servants to escort Ye Sheng back home in a carriage.

Ye Sheng got off the car at home and was very sad to see that his family was very poor.He walked slowly into the yard.The wife happened to come out of the house with the dustpan, and suddenly saw Ye Sheng, she was so frightened that she threw the dustpan away and left.Ye Sheng said miserably: I have now won the Juren.I haven't seen you for only three or four years, why don't you know me?His wife stood in the distance and said to him: You have been dead for a long time, why do you say you are a dignitary?The reason why your coffin has been parked and not buried is because the family is poor and the son is too young.Now my son Ada has grown up and is about to choose a cemetery for your burial.Please don't play tricks to frighten the living.Ye Sheng looked very sad and annoyed after hearing these words.He slowly entered the house, and seeing that his coffin was still there, he threw himself on the ground and disappeared.The wife looked around in horror, only to see Ye Sheng's coat, hat, shoes and socks falling off the ground.She was so sad that she picked up the clothes on the ground and burst into tears.When the son came back from school, he saw a carriage tied to the door.He asked about the origin of the driver, and was so frightened that he hurried to tell his mother.With tears in her eyes, the mother told her son what she had seen.The mother and daughter carefully questioned the servant who escorted Ye Sheng, and only then did they learn the whole story.

The servant returned and reported the truth to the master.Mr. Ding heard that tears soaked the clothes on his chest.He immediately drove to Ye Sheng's mourning hall in a carriage crying and worshiped; he paid for the repair of the tomb for the funeral, and buried Ye Sheng with a juren funeral.He also sent a lot of money to Ye Sheng's son, and hired a teacher to teach him.Later, Mr. Ding recommended it to the school envoy, so that Ye Sheng's son entered the county the next year and became a scholar. Yi Shi's Commentary: The soul follows the confidant, do you forget that you are dead?Those who heard it doubted its truth, but I believed it.The soul of Qianniang, who was in love with each other, followed her lover and left the pillow [Tang Chen Xuanyou's "Leaving the Soul": Zhang Qianniang fell in love with her cousin Wang Zhou, but was opposed by her father, Qianniang's soul ran away with Wang Zhou and became husband and wife]; friends who are thousands of miles away , Also know the old road in the dream ["Han Feizi": During the Six Kingdoms, Zhang Min and Gao Hui were good friends. They missed each other but could not meet each other. Zhang Min went to look for Gao Hui in his dream.But on the way, he got lost and had to turn back.Here Pu Songling uses it against his intention] What's more, the small characters in the article vomit out the heart and liver of a bachelor [Tang Li Shangyin's "Li Changji Biography": Li He's poetry is very painful, his mother sighed and said: This child will only be finished if he vomits his heart and liver. ]; High Mountains and Flowing Water ["Liezi": Yu Boya is a master at playing the qin, and Zhong Ziqi appreciates his playing the most.When Yu Boya plays high mountains and flowing water, Zhong Ziqi can understand his meaning], communicate the lives of our generation!well!It is hard to look forward to meeting, and encounters are often not smooth.Wherever he went, he was lonely and friendsless, and he could only worry about the shadow by himself; he was always arrogant to the rich and powerful, so he lived in poverty and loved himself.Lamenting his shabby appearance, he caused the ridicule of ghosts.If you fail the test every time, even your hair and beard will be ugly; once you lose your reputation, even the words and sentences in your articles will be full of flaws.Throughout the ages, only Jiu Bianhe was finally understood because of his bitter tears.During the time of King Wen, Bian He hugged Pu and cried at the foot of the mountain, and King Wen ordered people to cure Pu and get beautiful jade]; for thousands of years, who can really choose Qiji in the face of a group of horses, except Bole? [Bole: A native of Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a master of horses] Holding the name card in his arms for three years, the handwriting was erased [In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mi Heng once wrote a business card and hid it in his arms, and wanted to meet the famous people in the world. Within three years, the handwriting was erased, and the business card did not exist Post it out]; look sideways to the world, homeless.People living in this world can only walk around with their eyes closed, and let the gods belittle and praise that’s all.There are not many people who are extraordinary in the world but have fallen like Ye Sheng. How can we let Ding Gong, who loves talents, come back on a crane? The crane returned, soared in the sky, and said: There are birds and birds, Ding Lingwei, who have been home for thousands of years and have only returned.The city is the same as before, and the people are wrong, so why not learn from the fairy tombs. ], I am willing to become a monk with him, whether I live or die!well!

【original】 Those who live in Huaiyang lose their names.Articles, Ci Fu, and Fu were the best at that time; but what is true is not even, trapped in the famous field.Will Guandong Ding ride a crane to order is Yi.It's amazing to see its text.Calling and speaking, great joy.Even the official office receives the lights; when the money is given, the grain is sympathetic to his family.On the day of the scientific examination, he was promoted to a scholar and won the championship.The public expects Qiqie, after Wei, Suowen reads it, and praises it.Unexpectedly, the number of people is limited, the article hates life, and the list is still low even after it is released.Returning home in mourning, ashamed of his confidant, broken in shape, infatuated like a puppet.It is public hearing that he is summoned to comfort him.I have zero tears.The public pities him, and he enters the capital after passing the examination, and takes everything with him to the north.I am very grateful.After saying goodbye, Du left the door.

Nothing, sleeping sickness.There are endless questions from the public, but taking a hundred medicines has no effect.The public is dismissed for disobedience, and will be dismissed.In the letter to Sheng, it said slightly: There will be a day for the servant to return to the East; so those who are late, wait for the ears.If you come to the court with one step, the servant will leave at night.Pass on the couch.Sheng holds the book and weeps.Send a message to the envoy: It is difficult to heal the disease quickly, please send it first.To make people return to white, the public can't bear to go, so wait for it slowly.After a few days, the gatekeeper suddenly came to Yesheng.Gongxi, welcome and ask.Sheng said: Because of the disease of dogs and horses, Master Lao has been waiting for a long time, and I am worried about it.Fortunately, I can walk on the stick today.The male is dressed in a suit.

Arriving in, order the son and teacher to be a student, and live with him day and night.The son's name is Zaichang, he was sixteen years old, and he was still unable to write.However, it is extremely wise, if there are two or three mistakes in literature and art, there will be no forgetting.When you are old enough to live, you can put pen to paper.Benefiting from public power, he entered Yixiang.The student's career was proposed in his life, and he was recorded and taught.There are no omissions in the seven questions in Weizhong, Zhongyakui.On the first day of the public, he called Sheng and said: "The king came out of the rest of the thread, so he made Ruzi famous."However, Huang Zhongchang has no choice but to abandon it!Sheng said: It is almost fatal.Borrowing blessings to exhale for the article, so that people in the world know that half their lives have been ruined, and it is not a crime of war. Wishing is enough.And the scholar has a confidant, but no regrets, why give up the white cloth [white clothes.Clothes worn by ancient scholars when they did not gain fame. ], it is called the benefit of the market.The public persuaded him to return to the province because he was a long time guest, fearing that he would miss the trial.Life is miserable.The prince couldn't bear to be strong, so he asked the son to pay for it.

The son is also Jienan Palace, who is in charge of the ministry.Take the students to the prison, and share the morning and evening with each other.When he was over the age, he was born in Beiwei and was recommended by the village.Mr. Hui sent the Nanhe Dian affairs, because he was born and said: "This is not far from your hometown."Mr. Jin is going to the clouds, and the brocade is still fast.Health is also happy.Choose the auspicious road, arrive at Huaiyang, and order the servant horse to send him back alive. It's very sad to see the depression of the family.Walk around to the court.The wife came out with the winnowing tool, and when she saw the life, she threw the tool and fled away.Sheng said sadly: "I am expensive now."If you haven't met for three or four years, why don't you know each other?His wife Yao said: "The king has been dead for a long time, so how can you say more expensive?"Therefore, those who have drowned the emperor's coffin for a long time have poor sons and young ears.Now Ada has also been established, and it is about to be predicted [ㄓㄨㄣㄒㄧ; tomb].Don't be weird and scare people.When I heard it, I felt melancholy.Walking around and entering the room, he saw that the coffin seemed to have fallen to the ground and died.The wife stared at it in surprise, her clothes and shoes [ㄒㄧ'; shoes] looked like shedding.Great mourning, hugging clothes and weeping.The son returned from the school, saw that he was married at the door, came to the trial office, and ran to tell his mother in shock.Mother told with tears.And carefully inquired about the follower, only to get through. When the follower returned, the young master heard it, and he burst into tears.That is to say, he was ordered to cry in all his rooms; he went out to the camp for funerals, and was buried with filial piety and honesty.He also bequeathed his son, who was taught by Yanshi.It is said that Yu Xueshi, You Pan [ㄆ ㄢ' for more than a year; during the imperial examinations in Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was admitted as a student after passing the state and county examinations, called You Pan. 】. Yi Shi said: "The soul comes from a confidant, and you forget to die?"Those who heard it doubted it, but I deeply believed it.A beautiful girl with the same heart is the soul on the pillow; a good friend who is thousands of miles away still knows the road in the dream.What's more, the traces of cocoon silk and flies will vomit the heart of a scholar; the flowing water and high mountains will lead to my life!Hurrah!In difficult times, encounters are not accidental.Whereabouts are scattered, worrying about the shadow; proud and bony, scratching his head and loving himself.Sigh the sourness of the face, the teasing of ghosts.If you frequently live in the middle of health, your beard and hair will be ugly; once you fall outside Sun Shan, your articles will be flawed everywhere.People who cry bitterly in ancient and modern times, Bian and Weier; who is Bolei, who is upside down?Holding a thorn in your arms, you will lose your characters in three years; looking sideways, you will be homeless everywhere.In the world of life, one only has to close one's eyes and walk away, in order to listen to the humility of creation.There are also many people in the world who are degraded and degraded like leaves. Is it true that Gu Ande makes the prestige come back, and life and death follow him?Alas!
