第九章恨前仇纠党雪耻苦读书独立登科(2/9)

              前日因文英之气，今日受发落之辱，心上愈加怀愤。想了一夜，天明起来，请出考卷并银八钱，付与梓人刊刻。两三日板成刷印起来，又作几句不平的批语一并刻了，送与诸友。那批语上说道：善相文者，必知文实可嘉而后嘉之，文实可贬而后贬之。不知相文者，大不然。如锦之试整文总不试四百，其字句句皆精，字字皆通，竟以六等见赐，锦其其心乎？今特梓而出之。广送在庠诸友一观，以扶公道。庶几夭理人心犹存一脉耳。
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                刘锦自识印完逐帖分开，写下几百张，着人沿路散去。有与他相好的，都来劝道：“吾兄此试其贫有屈，只是批语其伤当事，万一宗师闻之，未必无事。”
                                                                                                                                                                天表心中犹愤愤不平。后来宗师果然知道了，出了火签立刻拘到案前。
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                宗师喝道：“不知死的，你自己胡言乱语还不知羞，反又刊刻广送。”
                                                                                                                                                                叫皂隶打了三十板赶出。有些班役随他到家索包，只得对了一两二钱送他，才各散去。明早叫了一乘轿，抬回庄去。也觉痛疼异常，将息了两月，方能如故。自觉无颜见人，只得静坐庄上，吃些清闲酒饭。
                                                                                                                                                                且说文英自考了批首，天表六等，心中称意。不料刻卷广送惹出祸来，更觉奇异。时桂花盛开，文英与小姐步到芙蓉轩后花间赏玩。有词为证：花则一名种分三色，嫩红娇白妖黄。正清耿佳景，旖旎非常，自然丰韵，开时不惹蜂乱蝶狂。把酒独酌蟾光问光，神何属离光中央，引骚人乘兴广赋诗章，几多才子争攀折，桓娥三种清香。状元是红黄，为榜眼白探花郎。
