The story told today comes from the Ming Dynasty.

There is a rich man in Linqing, Shandong Province. There is a "young master" named ZhangHaoGu at home. I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I have never learned it. When I grow up, I eat, drink, gamble and do everything. Eat and drink every day, carry cages and birds, and walk all over the street. Because of this, everyone calls him "puppy".

One day, ZhangHaoGu was walking in the street and saw a physiognomist surrounded by a circle of people. He wants to have a look. As soon as he stood there, he saw him at a glance He knew he was a dog and wanted to kiss his ass and get two dollars. He pretended to look at him and said, "This man, with colorful eyebrows and eyes, can be a pillar of the country."

Look at your shiny seal, and your career is booming. You're going to Beijing to catch the exam. I promise you'll be the first in the exam. Congratulations then. "ZhangHaoGu if understand, can give him a mouth at that time. Because I can't read, I can't even write my own name, so I went to Beijing to take the exam? Test what?

But his little temper didn't think of it. He thought, "We have plenty of money at home. It is not easy to be an official. " Instead of being angry, he was very happy. Say, "Are you sure to win?" "Don't flatter! Make sure you are in the top three! " "good! Give you two pieces of silver. I'll give you more when I get back. If I can't win, I won't stop looking for you when I come back. " I said to my face, "I'll leave when you come back!" " "

ZhangHaoGu came home, packed his bags and brought some gold and silver. He really came to Beijing to take the exam. He doesn't want to think, you can't even write your own name, and you have to take an exam? If it isn't an asshole! But when you meet that society, that's it. He left late that day and arrived in Beijing on the last day of the examination room.

By Xizhimen, the city gate had already been closed. Just in time to catch the Xizhimen water truck. The Ming and Qing emperors paid attention to drinking the water from Yuquan Mountain, and told the people to pull water from outside the city in the middle of the night, even on the same day. When the waterwheel arrived, the city gate opened. ZhangHaoGu also don't understand. He drove in the waterwheel. The city keeper dared not ask him, thinking that he was betting on the waterwheel for the emperor, so he came in.

When he went into town, he didn't know where the examination room was. He rode horses everywhere and walked to Chessboard Street. He saw a group of people coming from the opposite side. When there was a rider in the middle, two people in front were lighting angry lanterns. This is 90-year-old Wang Wei in Wei Zhongxian's Yecha Street. ZhangHaoGu's horse was stunned when his eyes diverged. He didn't rein in the reins, but the horse ran into Wei Zhongxian's horse. In the past, Wei Zhongxian was killed without even asking questions, because he was the most prized eunuch of Ming Xizong, and he had the power to act before acting.

Wei Zhongxian wants to ask him today, so stop here. He said, "You child, what are you mourning for?" ZhangHaoGu didn't know he was nine years old! Say: "ah! What do you care! I am in a hurry. " "Wow, young monkey! What a nice cross! What's wrong? " "I'm from Shandong. I went to Beijing to catch the exam. If I can't enter the examination room late, won't it delay my top three? "

"Do you know that you can enter the top three?" "ah! I'm not sure who came here from afar! " "Now that the examination room is closed, you can't get in!" "I won't knock if I can't get in?" Wei Zhongxian thought, "He knows he can get the top three. Must he have such profound knowledge? Can't! This is a big lie. He is scaring me with knowledge. "

Just say, "Come on! Take my film and send him to the examination room. " Wei Zhongxian wants to see how his knowledge is. But Wei Zhongxian is also an asshole. You should look at his knowledge. Don't send him a film, just let him go by himself. This time he made the film, and ZhangHaoGu was deeply impressed by it. He didn't know the examination room, so he got a lead.

Spitzer took ZhangHaoGu to the examination room, and when he smashed the door, the movie was staged gradually. When the two examiners saw Wei Zhongxian's film, they all got up quickly. The man said, "This man was sent here at the age of nine. He must be related to him. We must accept him! " The man said, "No! The rooms are full. "

"We have to think of some way to eat! You think the person who was sent by a nine-year-old child in the middle of the night must be his relative. Just make room for him like I said. Really not, even if we both spend the night in the hospital, we must keep him. " "all right! Then let's spend the night in the hospital! " What's this called? After two examiners let ZhangHaoGu in, they both muttered again. The man said, "Let's send him questions."

This one says, "Don't go! We don't know which books he commented on. If we give him a question, he will not do it. Isn't that offending 99? " "So what should we do?" "What should I do? Isn't there a paper? Just say you write! " Hey! Both of them are arranged! After I finished writing, I thought, "If this is the first name, there are too many. Come on! Come second! " ZhangHaoGu didn't write a word and won the second place!

On the third day, whoever wins the prize will be invited to the examiner's house to pay homage to the teacher and hand in a student's post. They all went except ZhangHaoGu. He doesn't understand! The palace of the two examiners is whispering again. ZhangHaoGu is so heartless. Although he was sent by Wang Wei, he wouldn't have won the lottery if we hadn't taken care of him.

What? Now that I have won the prize, I don't even worship the teacher. It's outrageous. ""Don't think like that, we must go after Wang Wei. Do you want Wang Wei to send him a film in the middle of the night? This must be a close relative of Wang Wei. If he becomes an official in the future, we have to rely on him to take care of him. He didn't come? It doesn't matter! Won't we see him go? "That's not bad. The teacher bowed to his apprentice and fell down!

Two examiners met ZhangHaoGu. He said, "If it weren't for the nine-year-old film that day, you wouldn't have entered this examination room." ZhangHaoGu also don't know where things come from, just vaguely promised.

After they left, they found that Wei Zhongxian was nine years old. I said to myself, oh! Without this film, we can't enter the examination room. He doesn't think he can't read! Another thought: "I have to see the nine-year-old child!" " "I bought a lot of expensive gifts. When I arrived in Wei, I handed in my business card and gift list. Wei Zhongxian looked at the business card, I don't know. I don't want to see it. When I looked at the gift list, the gifts were still very expensive. He said, "Tell him to come in. "

ZhangHaoGu walked in and said, "If I hadn't been given a film when I was nine years old that day, I really wouldn't have entered the examination room. It is also a blessing for Wang Ye. I won the second place. " "ah! Is there really so much knowledge? No wonder you said such a big thing that day! Since I have such great knowledge, this person will be of great use to me in the future. " At that time, the banquet was ordered. ZhangHaoGu ate a meal, satiated with food and drink, leave, Wei Zhongxian personally sent out.

Now, Beijing is making a lot of noise, and all civil and military officials know about it. Everyone commented: "No matter how big our official is, who hasn't been sent to visit the Wei Palace?" Why did Wang Wei personally deliver the new school? "The man said," He is a close relative of Wang Wei. " "When I saw him being sent out at the age of nine, I still respected him. Perhaps ZhangHaoGu may be Wang Wei's elder. "

"Since we are Wang Wei's elders, we should unite, the last line of the throne, and sponsor it. He will be an official in the future and will take good care of us. " "Yes!" ZhangHaoGu, a new scholar, was co-sponsored by everyone, saying that he is a pillar of the country, has a deep understanding of the world and has the ambition to bring peace and stability to the country. The emperor listened and said, "Since there are such talents, you should join imperial academy." He entered the academician courtyard again!

In the Hanlin Academy, these academicians all know that he is Wei Zhongxian, and I heard that it was jointly initiated by all of them. Who dares to disrespect him? He is not allowed to write what he has written. Not only was he not allowed to write, but everyone wrote and showed him: "Brother Zhang Nian! Do you think this is ok? " "yes! Very good! Very good! " You can only say so much. No matter what people ask, it is "very good! Very good! " With this sentence, he stood in the academician courtyard for a year.

Over the past year, Wei Zhongxian's birthday, civil and military officials have sent very expensive gifts. Besides giving many expensive gifts, ZhangHaoGu bought a pair of couplets at Sibaozhai Paper Store, but he didn't write them. He took them into the Imperial Academy. Everyone took a look. He said, "Brother Zhang Nian, is this a birthday present for Wang Wei?"

"Yes!" Everybody, open it. Say "yo! Didn't write? " "Isn't it?" Everyone said, "You've been here for over a year, and we haven't seen you write. I didn't expect that we would pay tribute to your Mo Bao today. " "no! You write very well, or you write it for me. "

Everyone pushed each other, and no one wrote. One of them is very clever. He said to himself, ZhangHaoGu can't read, can he? When he rolled his eyes. Say: "I write!" He made up a pair, cursing Wei Zhongxian and saying that Wei Zhongxian would usurp the throne. When he finished writing, he said, "Brother Zhang Nian! Are you all right? " ZhangHaoGu looked at it and said, "All right! Very good! Very good! " -It's okay!

On this day, ZhangHaoGu brought gifts to Wei Zhongxian to celebrate his birthday. Wei Zhongxian accepted the gift and hung up the couplet, but he didn't understand a word. The imperial edict and the word "longevity" have also arrived. Wei Zhongxian put a incense table to welcome the imperial edict. All the officials who came to offer birthday felicitations met the couple, but no one dared to say, because Wei Zhongxian had a bad temper.

For example, if someone scolds him, you should tell him, "Someone scolds you." Hearing this, he said, "Oh! He called me names? Kill! -He called me names. Only he knows. Now you know. Kill it together! " Who do you think dares to tell him? In this way, this pair of hanging for a day, Wei Zhongxian don't see it!

A few years later, Emperor Chongzhen changed. At Wei Zhongxian's home, I dug up the dragon clothes and the dragon crown. Wei Zhongxian committed a crime, the whole family was beheaded, Jiuzu became extinct, and everyone in Wei Zhongxian was killed.

Someone told the emperor: "There is a bachelor in imperial academy named ZhangHaoGu, who is also from Wei Zhongxian." The emperor said, "That must be killed!" A minister next to him knelt down and said, "Long live your Excellency, ZhangHaoGu is not from Wei Zhongxian."

The emperor said, "What do I think?" "Because of Wei Zhongxian's birthday, ZhangHaoGu gave Wei Zhongxian a pair, and I still remember that sentence. He said he wanted to usurp the throne. How can he be Wei Zhongxian? " The emperor said, "That's not true!" "Not only no, this is a loyal minister!" "good! Since he is a loyal minister, he should be exempted from capital punishment and promoted to the third level. "

Bunch of assholes!

Extended data writing background:

Lao She, the author of "Ascending to Grade Three", graduated from 19 18 and served as the principal of Fangjia Hutong Primary School. Two years later, he was promoted to the northern suburb of Shi Jing Education Bureau to give advice to students, but because it was difficult to work with the old forces in education and local areas, he quickly resigned from this well-paid position and returned to school to teach.

Lao She mostly takes the life of urban civilians as the theme, with clear love and hate and a strong sense of justice. He can skillfully master the language, express characters and describe events in Beijing dialect, and has a strong local color and life flavor.

1938, Lao She was elected as the executive director and general director of the All-China Anti-Enemy Association of Literary and Art Circles, presided over daily meetings internally, represented the Federation externally, and was fully responsible for the leadership of the Federation. In July of the same year, he moved to Chongqing with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

1939, the English version of Jin Ping Mei translated by Lao She was published in London and translated into Jin Ping Mei. This edition is the authoritative translation of Jin Ping Mei in the west, which has been published four times.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Young World published by Beixin Bookstore urged the writer Lao She. At the same time, Lao She humorously sent a letter with a dramatic flavor: Marshal sent an urgent order: no food and grass inside, no soldiers outside! Teenagers get on the horse with guns and walk in the world of youth, screaming! Malays! See marshal. How many people did you bring? Say something! Or old, weak and beaten soldiers! Rest after the account! Order! Be quiet! Exactly: clear-cut, murderous!

Once many young people came to Lao She's house and asked how to write poems. Lao She said, "I can't write poetry, I can only make it up." Someone suggested that Lao She sing a song "impromptu" on the spot. "Heavy rain washes Xinghai, Changhong is in the sky; Ice is a snake's nest, and Bi Ye Lin sleeps in the wind. " Lao She casually sang this unique five-character quatrain. In just 20 words, the names of eight writers and artists who are familiar and full of praise are "scrawled together", with vivid images, broad artistic conception and endless aftertaste.

After listening to this, the young people were all surprised. The heavy rain mentioned in the poem is Sun Dayu, a modern poet and literary translator. Xi Xinghai is Xian Xinghai, a people's musician. Gao Changhong is a modern celebrity. Wan Laitian is a drama and film worker. Bing Ying is a modern female writer Xie Bingying, a native of Hunan. Cheng she I used to be the editor-in-chief of Chongqing New Shu Newspaper. Bi Ye is a contemporary writer. Lin Fengmian is a painter.

1936, a friend of Lao She's from Shandong University, told his experience and knowledge of hiring a rickshaw driver: a rickshaw driver bought a rickshaw, sold it soon, went up and down like this, and finally became poor.

At that time, Lao She thought that this theme could be written as a novel. Since the birth of new literature, Hu Shi, Lu Xun and other writers have written about rickshaw pullers, but they all expressed their sympathy for rickshaw pullers from the perspective of intellectuals, without going deep into their hearts to appreciate their lives.

Lao She, who was born in poverty, has been in contact with the lower classes since childhood and has a deeper understanding of the living conditions and psychology of the working people.
