The third volume of the country is famous Chapter 39 What is worry and happiness
Su Ling and Du Heng walked in a meandering way back to Jiangshan Tower.
As soon as he entered the door, shopkeeper He came up quickly with a smile on his face. When he saw Su Ling, he bowed and said, "Master Su is back. Is Banan City prosperous?"
Su Ling was very puzzled by Shopkeeper He's arrogant attitude, but he raised his hand not to hit the smiling man, so he cupped his hand and said: "Binan City is south of Ba City, and it's only one day away from Longtai, Kyoto. Sure enough,
It's extremely prosperous. I'm just the shopkeeper. I have something unclear and would like to ask for advice."
Shopkeeper He already had a smile on his face and said: "I don't dare to ask for advice from Xiao Ke. If Mr. Su has anything to say, just tell me. Xiao Ke knows everything."
Looking at his smiling face, Su Ling felt a little uncomfortable and said, "When I came to Jiangshan Tower during the day, Shopkeeper He served me well, but you didn't have such a humble smile. Su was a little at a loss." In fact, Su Ling felt at a loss.
The words are, you are pretending to be a big clove of garlic, what is going on with you, please tell me quickly.
Shopkeeper He was startled for a moment, then he smiled and said: "Master Su, what are you talking about? If you are a young master like you, I'm afraid I won't entertain you well."
Su Ling was completely confused now, and asked in confusion: "Young Master with talent and learning? I am ranked at the bottom of the Jiangshan Ranking?"
Shopkeeper He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That was before, when you were a young man with a small shop but no real talent. Now your ranking is rising slowly. To be honest, you were the most famous person in the entire country list.
People."
Su Ling was even more puzzled: "What's going on? I didn't do anything?"
Shopkeeper He said hurriedly: "If Mr. Su is not tired, why not let Xiao Ke lead the way? Let's go to Qingyun Pavilion and you will understand everything."
Su Ling nodded, and shopkeeper He said "please" and turned to lead the way.
Along the way, I met many students from Jiangshan Building. When I saw Su Ling, he hurriedly gave way and his expression became extremely respectful.
As Su Ling walked, he was secretly thinking about it, and he vaguely understood what was going on.
When they arrived at Qingyun Pavilion, there were more people in Qingyun Pavilion than when they left. There was almost no gap in the wide hall. Shopkeeper He hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, please give way, Mr. Su.
coming."
The noisy discussion suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Su Ling hurriedly, and some people even kept raising their hands to greet Su Ling.
Su Ling didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, so he hurriedly returned the gift to them. These were all respectable students, and if people respected him, Su Ling would not fail to appreciate it.
Reciprocity has been a principle since ancient times.
Shopkeeper He led Su Ling towards the Qingyun Pavilion Jiangshan List. Without Shopkeeper He saying anything, Su Ling saw that all the names on the Jiangshan List had disappeared. The third position was a nameplate with Su Ling's name written on it.
Su Ling smiled lightly and already understood the reason.
Shopkeeper He smiled even more, his old face seemed to have bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and said respectfully: "Master Man has left, Master Su is shouting loudly, and what happened in Zuixian Tower has now spread throughout Banan, so
Mr. Su's position on the Jiangshan Ranking will naturally rise."
Su Ling looked at Shopkeeper He with some teasing and said, "I'm third? Is this appropriate?"
Shopkeeper He said hurriedly: "It's perfect for Young Master Su to show off his eloquence and knowledge in Zuixian Tower. Who among the young masters in Jiangshan Tower would not admire him? Besides, you are also very close to the Governor of the Hantian Guard of Sikong Mansion."
Qian, so regardless of talent, education or background, this third place may have wronged Mr. Su?"
Su Ling secretly cursed in his heart. He thought that Jiangshan Tower was aloof, but he never imagined that he could be so snobbish. Respecting his talent and learning might not account for even half of the reason. The key is that he has some relationship with the current dynasty Sikong. The world is as black as a crow, and his body is
In a humble family, no one asks, but once he becomes famous, the whole world will know him. How about the third place? If he reveals the Liyou Wood Order, the entire Qingyun Pavilion of Jiangshan Tower will have to treat him as a god.
Su Ling nodded, without showing any emotion or anger, and just whispered into Du Heng's ear for a while. Du Heng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
But seeing Du Heng striding up to the high platform, he took off Su Ling's nameplate on the Jiangshan List without hesitation, and then turned around and handed it to Su Ling.
Shopkeeper He looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Master Su, what do you mean by this? Do you think your ranking should be raised one more level?"
Su Ling laughed and said: "No, no, I'm really flattered that Su is ranked third. It's not easy to think of people who can be on the Jiangshan Ranking. Su has no talent, no education, no background, and he follows many well-educated people.
It’s really inappropriate to be in the same place. It’s better that Su is not on the list.”
After that, without waiting for shopkeeper He to speak, he said to Du Heng: "Du Heng, I'm tired after shopping here for a long time. Let's go back to the room and sleep."
With that said, the two of them turned around and left.
Shopkeeper He said hurriedly: "Master Su, where are you going back?"
Su Ling said calmly: "Of course we should go back to our middle-grade room." He deliberately emphasized the word "mid-grade".
Shopkeeper He smiled attentively and said: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su is here to stay... With your current status, wouldn't it be aggrieved to live in a middle-grade room? Xiao Ke has already cleaned the high-grade room in Qingyun Pavilion.
I just have to wait for Mr. Su to come back, and Xiao Ke will lead the way and settle down."
As if to please, he whispered in Su Ling's ear: "Master Su just takes care of it. As for the expenses, the store will cover them all."
Su Ling suddenly burst into laughter, looked at Shopkeeper He and said, "Shopkeeper He has done a good job, and your boss is also a very meticulous person. However, Su felt that the previous medium-grade room was already very good, so suddenly changing the room was really unreasonable.
I'm not used to it." After saying that, he turned to Du Heng and said, "Du Heng, let's go."
Su Ling and Du Heng strode outside Qingyun Pavilion. Shopkeeper He was left stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and said hurriedly: "Mr. Su, the room in the previous chapter has been vacated. Can you please
If we don’t live it, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
Su Ling turned around, shrugged towards Shopkeeper He and said, "Why waste it? Shopkeeper Su sent you to live here."
............
In a room in Qingyun Pavilion, the auspicious golden beast seems to never go out, and the sandalwood is lingering, like a fairyland.
The old man with white beard and hair was still sitting on a mat with his eyes closed, his face as calm as ever. Only the faint scent of sandalwood covered his face, making it difficult to see the joys and sorrows.
Footsteps sounded, and Shopkeeper He walked slowly to the screen, bowed politely and said: "Master, that Su Ling took the name off the Jiangshan list, and he didn't even stay in the prepared high-grade room. He returned to his original place."
Went to the middle-class room.”
The old man still closed his eyes and was speechless, seemingly not hearing what Shopkeeper He said.
Shopkeeper He waited for a while, but when the old man didn't reply, he said again: "Master, I think this Su Ling is extremely rude. We at Jiangshan Tower..."
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely bright, but he said calmly: "Okay, I have already guessed it. This Su Ling did not disappoint me. If he accepted everything arranged, I'm afraid he would just be the same as this Manlou.
Young masters are all the same, but the way they act now is really different." Although his words were gentle, there was still a hint of appreciation.
The old man said to Shopkeeper He in a somewhat lecturing tone: "The original intention of Jiangshan Tower was to only ask about knowledge and nothing else. He Ti, now that Jiangshan Tower has been contaminated with the worldly atmosphere, it is time for you to learn a lesson.
Back off."
Shopkeeper He trembled in his heart, saluted, and then slowly withdrew.
............
Three days later, the Jiangshan Review officially began at Jiangshan Terrace in the south of the city. On this day, the entire Banan City was deserted. All businesses were closed, and even the fireworks brothels were closed. The girls were all dressed up, and nothing else.
Thinking that if they meet a romantic and talented young man on Jiangshan Review, their lives will be considered complete.
Su Ling and Du Heng arrived late, and no matter how hard they squeezed, they couldn't get in front. Su Ling smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, let's just take a look from a distance." Du Heng nodded, and the two of them found a tree.
Big tree, I sat down in front of the tree.
Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of a carriage. A group of servants were waiting for a young man to get out of the carriage like stars holding the moon. Three more people came down from the carriage.
It was a coincidence that the carriage stopped right next to the big tree where Su Ling and Du Heng were resting.
Su Ling saw clearly that the four people who got off the carriage were none other than Yuan Wuqian, Cai Xi, Liu Hong and Xue Heng.
Du Heng whispered: "It's a narrow road for enemies."
Su Ling closed his eyes to rest his mind and said unmoved, "It doesn't matter what they do, just have a good rest."
Yuan Wuqian and others saw Su Ling at a glance. Yuan Wuqian walked up to Su Ling, bent down and took a look, with a look of disdain on his face, and sneered: "Humph, it turns out that dog meat can't be served at the banquet. Find a big one."
Is the tree hiding?"
Su Ling chose to ignore it and didn't say a word to him.
Yuan Wuqian suddenly said in a cold voice: "Su Ling, the power of my words yesterday is nothing. Today I will be judged by Jiang Shan to see how I can subdue the talented people in the world. Then we will see if you are still arrogant."
Su Ling then raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Wuqian and said, "Has Shen Jizhou's family letter arrived? Have you been scolded so badly? Now this Jiangshan Review is your last hope, right? If you win,
Everything can be saved. Shen Jizhou's hypocritical stuff may use the fame you earned to make some articles. If you are unfortunate enough not to become famous in Jiangshan Review, I guess you won't dare to go back to Bohai."
Yuan Wuqian suddenly had a look of pig liver color on his face and said bitterly: "Su Ling, let's wait and see!"
With that said, he and Cai Xi and others behind him went towards Jiangshan Terrace. He could go in and get a good position. Seven of the slaves were dissatisfied, eight were dissatisfied, and one hundred and twenty didn't care. They were worse than a bald-tailed dog.
However, no one dared to touch this bad luck. The crowd quickly stepped out. Yuan Wuqian waved his folding fan and stood swaggering in the middle of the first row.
It was almost noon, and more and more people were gathering in front of Jiangshan Terrace. There was a lot of chatter, and it was really lively.
Su Ling and Du Heng were still sitting under the big tree, and they felt peaceful.
After a while, figures on Jiangshan Terrace swayed, and at the beginning there were two rows of servant-looking people slowly walking up from the stairs on the left and right below the stage.
The crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone knew that the Jiangshan Review was about to begin.
But after this group of people came to the stage, they lined up on both sides, each holding a red lantern with the words "Lengshan Mountain" in Chinese characters.
Someone had already walked to the middle of Jiangshan Terrace and hung a large plaque in the middle. It was a large running script with the word "Comment" written on it.
Several more servants carried six low-legged tables. The one in the middle was larger and the ones on both sides were smaller. After placing them, they stepped off the stage.
Just as someone was discussing the usefulness of these desks, they suddenly heard a thunderous drum sound. After three thuds, the entire Jiangshan Terrace suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But I saw a person slowly coming up from the stairs next to Jiangshan Platform, standing in the middle of Jiangshan Platform, first scanning the audience, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, welcome to participate in this year's Jiangshan Review, but this year is slightly different from previous years.
, According to Old Master Xu’s request, there are only five people who can wait to go to Jiangshan Stage to participate in the Jiangshan Review this year!”
"What? Five people?" Many people in the audience began to discuss, seeming to think that this condition is too harsh. Many of them are people from other places who came to Banan, and they traveled thousands of miles just to participate in the Jiangshan Review and gain fame, but they did not expect that this year Jiangshan
There is actually a limit on reviews.
Someone has already shouted: "Shopkeeper He, there are more than tens of millions of well-educated people from all over the country who have come to Banan to participate in the Jiangshan Review. Why are there only five of them? Who are these five? If they have real ability, we will be convinced. If not, we will be convinced."
, we are not convinced!”
"That's it!" "That's it!"
There was a sudden flow of people in agreement, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
Shopkeeper He still calmly glanced at the people in the audience, and the discussion was slightly quieter, and he said: "Jiangshan Review is the first cultural event in our Jin Dynasty, and the five people selected are naturally amazing and talented.
After Master Xu hands the list to He, He will announce it, and He is sure that these five people must be the candidates that everyone is convinced of."
Seeing what Shopkeeper He said, everyone looked a little unconvinced, but after all, this Jiangshan Review was run by Old Master Xu, and no one dared to criticize Old Master Xu's authority.
After a while, a servant respectfully put a silk brocade handkerchief into the hands of shopkeeper He. Shopkeeper He carefully unfolded it and read aloud: "The young masters participating in the Jiangshan Review this time are Bohai Yuan Wuqian...
..”
There was a discussion among the crowd, and Yuan Wuqian, who was standing in the middle of the front, burst into laughter with great satisfaction, walked up to Jiangshan Terrace arrogantly, and said to Shopkeeper He: "Shopkeeper He, I don't think the others need to come up.
.”
Shopkeeper He asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"Without him, it's just a foil." After saying this, Yuan Wuqian laughed arrogantly again.
Shopkeeper He smiled lightly and said: "Master Yuan is naturally known to the world for his great talent. I hope he will return home with great honors from this competition." After speaking, he turned to the six tables and said: "Master Yuan, please take a seat at your choice.
"
Without thinking, Yuan Wuqian headed towards the big table in the middle. Shopkeeper He stopped him and said, "You can't sit on this table."
Yuan Wuqian looked at Shopkeeper He with some dissatisfaction and said, "Why can't I sit down? Mr. Gu is not participating. Looking at the entire Jiangshan Review, I am the only one who deserves to sit down!"
Shopkeeper He didn't seem angry, and said calmly: "That's Old Master Xu's seat, are you still sitting there?"
In a word, Yuan Wuqian was stunned on the spot, looking quite embarrassed.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Yuan Wuqian then forced out a fake smile and said: "Since it is Old Master Xu's seat, then I will sit next to him."
After Yuan Wuqian sat down, shopkeeper He said again: "Xue Heng, Mr. Xue, please come to the stage."
Cai Xi and Liu Hong glanced at Xue Heng and were quite surprised. Xue Heng's name on the Jiangshan Tower list was after them, but now he was the second one to take the stage. Xue Heng didn't say much and looked to both sides.
As soon as the envious crowd handed him over and went on stage, he kept a low profile and found a table next to him to sit down.
Shopkeeper He nodded secretly and thought to himself, knowing how to take advantage of the situation to increase his status and deliberately keeping a low profile, this person should not be underestimated.
Then the announcement started loudly.
Su Ling didn't pay attention to who was coming on stage next, but when he saw Shopkeeper He read out the names of two more people, he felt a little unsure. He thought to himself that there was only one last spot left, and he was afraid that he would be out of luck, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to do.
Not surprising, I have no family and no name, so it would be strange if I could reach the stage of Jiangshan.
Su Ling stood up, shrugged towards Du Heng and said, "Old Du, let's go."
The two of them were just about to leave when they heard Shopkeeper He on the Jiangshan Stage loudly say: "The last spot is for Young Master Su Lingsu of Nanzhang. Please come to the stage, Young Master Su."
Su Ling was excited, patted Du Heng on the shoulder, laughed and said: "Old Du, you can't walk anymore, I'll go up and play!"
As he said that, he squeezed from the outside to the front of the stage, but there were already three floors inside and three floors outside. Su Ling spent a lot of effort and couldn't get any closer.
Some people shouted dissatisfiedly: "You are so helpless, what are you doing here and there?"
Shopkeeper He shouted three or four times on the stage, but did not see Su Ling come on stage, so he could only stay there.
Yuan Wuqian was already a little impatient and said: "Is that Su Ling scared? There are so many of us and we can't wait for him alone!"
"That's right!" Some good people in the audience also shouted.
An anxious Su Ling waved to the crowd and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper He, I'm here, I can't squeeze through."
Shopkeeper He was hesitating whether to wait or not when he suddenly heard Su Ling's voice. After searching for a long time, he finally found Su Ling among the crowd.
Seeing that Su Ling was a little embarrassed, Shopkeeper He smiled faintly and said loudly: "Dear friends in the audience, please find a way out so that Mr. Su can come on stage."
After shouting several times, a path finally appeared in front of Su Ling's eyes, and Su Ling walked onto Jiangshan Terrace. He had no choice but to take the last position, so Su Ling didn't care and sat down casually.
Some people have already started talking about who this Su Ling is. How come they have never heard of him before? He is also worthy of Jiangshantai? The good people started to introduce Su Ling, saying that Zuixianlou is the absolute son, and
He had such a huge connection with Sikong, and it was unclear for a while that Su Ling could spread the beans and form an army.
While everyone was discussing, someone suddenly said loudly: "Master Xu is out."
Everyone fell silent, and countless eyes looked towards Jiangshan Terrace. They saw four maids with red lanterns clearing the way, and an old man slowly walked out from behind. The old man's beard and hair were all white, his eyebrows were longer, there was light in his eyes, and he was dressed plainly.
Colorful clothes, quite out of this world.
It was the old man at the top of Jiangshan Tower. It turned out that he was the person who founded Jiangshan Ping - the great scholar Xu Shao.
Xu Shao smiled kindly at everyone in the audience and the five young masters on the stage. His eyes stopped on Su Ling for a while, and then he sat down on the high seat in the middle. Someone had already cooked tea and served it.
Xu Shao took a sip of tea and then spoke with a loud voice: "Everyone, welcome to participate in the annual Jiangshan Review in the Jin Dynasty. Thanks to your support, this Jiangshan Review is getting more and more popular. How can an old man be virtuous? It has been said since ancient times.
, Wen Wu is not the first, Wu Wu is not the second, I started this Jiangshan Commentary because I want to have more exchanges and discussions with the most learned people in the world."
Everyone said in unison: "Please give me some advice, Master Xu."
Only then did Xu Shao cast his eyes on the five people on the stage, and said with a faint smile on his face: "The five of you who can reach the top of the Jiangshan stage are already amazing and talented. Today I want to take a look at all of you."
His style."
The five people raised their hands together and said, "Master Xu, please come up with a question."
Xu Shao pondered for a moment, then his voice sounded like a bell, and he said steadily as if he was sighing: "Thousands of lives, but only a hundred years, thousands of dynasties, changing and changing, time is like an illusion, and it is most difficult to stay. I have traveled thousands of miles and traveled across thousands of miles.
Thousands of rivers, watching the lights of thousands of houses, experiencing the world of mortals. Although the mountains and rivers are vast, and the years are long, all the things in this world cannot escape the joys and sorrows. Study hard in the cold window, and feel happy when you soar to the sky. There are flowers and candles in the bridal chamber,
It is a joy to have a sweetheart on the bed, a wife and children to be happy, and a house full of children and grandchildren. However, from my perspective, these are all small joys. The dynasty is glorious, the people are prosperous, and the country is prosperous; the soldiers use their lives to attack and defeat everything; everything in the world is invincible.
Everyone is at peace, this is great happiness. But of all the things in the world, is there only happiness? If you don't see it, your hair will be white and black, and you will be miserable; if you don't see it, the separation of life and death will be painful, heartbreaking; as for the country and the clan, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and blood will flow.
Piao Chu, there are all kinds of things in the world, and there are many worries and few joys. Why? So, why don't you use the time of one stick of incense to write an article on the theme of joy and sorrow, so that the learned people in the world can appreciate it? "
After Xu Shao finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking.
Everyone in the audience was already thinking earnestly.
The five people on the stage were also thinking deeply, some were frowning, some were slightly closing their eyes, and some were already writing furiously.
Su Ling was also constantly thinking about what to write. He was a top student in the 985 Chinese Department, and he often wrote this kind of argumentative essay. However, he knew that if he wrote it now, it would be difficult for him to control the classical style of writing.
It’s even less likely to become a classic, so what should I write about it?
Suddenly I thought of that article, and I had a certain idea in my mind, and I seemed confident.
But he was really not used to using the writing brush on the table. He didn't know if the Jiangshan Review, which was like a modern composition test, needed paper points. His crooked handwriting was really hard to use. If he deducted a few paper points,
, isn’t it too frustrating?
Su Ling thought about it over and over, and already had some calculations in her mind, so she simply threw away the brush, pushed the paper and inkstone, and lay down on the desk and fell asleep.
His action attracted everyone's attention, and some people in the audience started talking. Most of them said that Su Ling was so famous that it was hard to live up to it. When talking about Zhenzhang, the prototype was revealed.
Xu Shao also raised his head slightly and glanced at Su Ling. His face remained calm as before, and he slowly closed his eyes to rest.
So there were six people on the stage, four of them were busy writing and the other two were sleeping, which was a wonderful sight in the Jiangshan Review.
The time for burning incense had just arrived. Xu Shao slowly opened his eyes and saw that all four people except Su Ling had put down their pens. Su Ling was the only one who was really asleep. He was snoring. The paper spread on the table had already been
He was soaked with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Xu Shao also frowned slightly, then stood up, first came to a young master, picked up the article and read it over. Seeing that it was densely written with neat handwriting, he nodded slightly and said: "The article is not good, but the writing is good, young master."
You can step down."
The young man heard Xu Shao praising his calligraphy. He was happy at first, but when Xu Shao asked him to step down, he knew that Xu Shao would not give him a compliment. He felt a little disappointed in his eyes, and then he bowed and walked off the stage.
Xu Shao looked at another young master's article and smiled slightly. That young master seemed to understand. After bowing, he turned around and walked off the stage.
Xu Shao did not delay, walked to Xue Heng's desk, picked up Xue Heng's article, but read it for a long time, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "I never thought that there would be such an article in this deserted place. You
Not bad! Get off the stage."
Xue Heng stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Shao, then walked off the stage, bowed his hands to Cai Xi and Liu Hong, and walked away.
Xu Shao walked to Yuan Wuqian again, picked up the article, read it several times, and said calmly: "Young Master Yuan has great literary talent, but his words are too gorgeous, which makes it seem empty."
Yuan Wuqian was happy at first, but when he heard what Xu Shao said, a look of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he said unconvinced: "Master Xu, take a good look at it. Isn't the article just about the words? Is there something wrong with being gorgeous? Besides, I am the fourth generation and the third prince.
......."
Xu Shao's face turned cold, and before Yuan Wuqian could finish speaking, he said: "Young Master Yuan, stay here for a moment, if you are quite talented in writing articles, but if you use the name of the Fourth Generation and the Three Young Masters again, don't blame me for being so ungrateful. You
Remember, the fourth generation and the third prince are from the Shen family, what does it have to do with your Yuan family? Get off the stage."
Yuan Wuqian was speechless, his face darkened, and he left the stage in shame.
When Cai Xi and Liu Hong saw him coming down, they hurriedly called their servants to greet him. Cai Xi hurriedly brushed his beard and said: "Xu Shao is nothing more than that, he doesn't know how to write well!"
Yuan Wuqian glared at him and said, "He doesn't know it, but you do?"
A group of people then left in dejection.
Su Ling was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Then she rubbed her sleepy eyes and raised her head, only to see Xu Shao looking at him with a smile.
Only then did Su Ling realize that her saliva had soaked the paper on the table, so she embarrassedly folded the paper and put it in her sleeve.
Xu Shao smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Su, I feel comfortable after having a big dream. But have you thought about this article?"
Su Ling nodded and said, "I have already thought about it."
Xu Shao said in disbelief: "Then why is there not even a word on this paper?"
Su Ling took his time and stood up slowly. He bowed to Xu Shao first, then came to the center of Jiangshan Terrace, bowed to the people in the audience who were talking about it, and then said loudly: "Su is not talented, I think so."
Master Xu’s saying that there is no best scholar in the world and no second best in martial arts is extremely reasonable. Therefore, Su secretly thought that if I wrote an article and only Master Xu could read it, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for these tens of millions of people to come? Since it is
When it comes to learning, Su has the courage to make an unkind request."
When Xu Shao heard this, he was a little confused and said, "Then you might as well tell me."
Looking at Su Ling's words, he said with a rather heroic expression: "I have an article that I recite, and I want people in the world to comment on it, and I hope that Master will fulfill it."
As soon as he said this, Xu Shao and everyone in the audience were stunned on the spot. They didn't expect that Su Ling's thoughts would be judged by the world.
"What a spirit!" Xu Shao praised loudly, "But, Mr. Su, does he know that since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other and it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of others?"
Su Ling laughed and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Master. It's just that Su's words have already been spoken, so it doesn't matter!"
Xu Shao nodded and said: "Then Master Su will recite the masterpiece."
But seeing Su Ling pondering for a moment, taking two steps slowly, with a bold and steady expression, he flicked his sleeves and began to recite aloud.
"In the summer of the sixth year of Shaohe's reign in the Jin Dynasty, Su Ling traveled thousands of miles from Nanzhang to the Gaocheng of Banan. He saw the ancient city of Banan, where the government was well-connected and the people were prosperous. The Jiangshan Tower was built along the river, and the Qingyun Pavilion stood splendidly. There were talented people and arrogant guests.
The completion of a virtuous career is a matter for me to write down in writing.
I look at the victorious appearance of my husband in Banan, with the Ba River surging. It carries the power of distant mountains, swallows up the prosperity of the city, is vast and boundless, with morning light and evening shadow, and a myriad of phenomena. This is a grand view of infinite mountains and rivers. However, Nantong Ba
The city also borrows the splendor of Longtai in Kyoto, and many tourists and poets gather here. The feeling of looking at the things is the same.
I once imagined that if the rain is falling, the moon is not open, the wind is howling, the turbid waves are emptying, the sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are hidden, business travel is impossible, the rafters are falling, the dusk is dark, the tigers are roaring and the apes are crowing. Climb the Jiangshan Tower.
Also, there are those who are nostalgic for their country, worried about slander and fear of ridicule, their eyes are full of desolation, and they feel extremely sad.
Or if spring and the scenery are bright, the waves are calm, the sky above and below is a vast expanse of blue, sand gulls are gathering in the air, golden scales are swimming, and the banks are covered with orchids, lush and green. Or there is a long smoke in the sky, a bright moon thousands of miles away, floating light leaps into gold, and silent shadows sink.
Bi and fishermen's songs are answered to each other, what a joy it is! When you climb the Jiangshan Tower, you will feel relaxed and happy. You will forget your favors and insults together, and you will drink wine in the wind, and you will be overjoyed.
Alas! I have tried to seek the heart of the benevolent people of ancient times, or what is the difference between the two? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king. That's right.
Advancing is also worrying, retreating is also worrying. But when will you be happy? It must be said, 'Be worried about the world's worries first, and then be happy when the world is happy'! Alas! Who can I return to, people from Weisi?"
When Su Ling recited this article, his voice was leisurely and long at first. Later, it became ups and downs, impassioned, and there was also a desolate, vast, generous and tragic voice.
At first, there were a lot of comments in the audience, but gradually the voices became quieter and quieter. By the time Su Ling reached the middle of reciting, some people had tears in their eyes. Until the end, the tens of thousands of people in the audience were silent and dumbfounded.
Some are crying, and some are sighing secretly.
The master, Xu Shao, first looked at Su Ling with burning eyes, and gradually seemed to be infected by Su Ling's impassionedness. He gradually closed his eyes slightly, tears seemed to flash from the corners of his eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
After Su Ling finished reciting, he had already made countless bows to the sages of this article in his heart.
"What a good person who doesn't rejoice in things and doesn't feel sad about himself. What a good person who worries about the worries of the world first and then rejoices in the happiness of the world! This is how the world's joys and sorrows should be!" Xu Shao slowly opened his eyes, his thoughts seemed to be still here.
During the article, he looked at Su Ling with a good look.
Su Ling hurriedly bowed and said: "Young scholar is showing off his embarrassment!"
Xu Shao held him up, and then said sincerely: "Where, my little friend, these two sentences are worth a fortune, this old man has learned the lesson!"
After saying that, he turned to the people in the audience and said: "Everyone, I am in a state of mind, and I cannot give a review to Mr. Su Ling today. However, from my perspective, this article is worthy of being reviewed by the country.
The leader since the beginning!" After saying that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the back of the stage, shaking his head and sighing as he walked.
Su Ling secretly complained in her heart that her × was a bit too big for her real appearance. She originally wanted to get a free review, but in the end there was nothing. Brother, you can at least give me one.
But there was pain in his heart, but he couldn't express it.
Xu Shao signaled to Shopkeeper He, Shopkeeper He then cupped his hands towards the audience and said: "Everyone, this is the end of Jiangshan Review. If you still want to discuss, you can move to Jiangshan Tower. Mr. Xu has already said that today I will give you
There is no gift review. If you want to know what kind of gift Mr. Su has received, you can go to Qingyun Pavilion of Jiangshan Tower in three days and you will know."
The people in the audience slowly dispersed with unfinished thoughts, and from time to time sentences and voices of praise could be heard reciting "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness".
Seeing that everyone was gradually dispersing, Su Ling bowed to Xu Shao and asked Du Heng to leave.
The two of them had just walked a few steps when someone suddenly called from behind: "Master Su, stay here!"
Su Ling and Du Heng turned around and saw shopkeeper He.
Su Ling hurriedly smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper He?"
Shopkeeper He smiled, spread out his hand, and dragged a piece of white paper inside and said: "This is a gift review from Master Xu. Mr. Su has collected it."
Su Ling hurriedly took it and took a closer look. She saw two big characters written on the white paper:
Chi, Ji!
"Chiji?" Su Ling wondered what these two words meant.
Shopkeeper He said with a smile: "Master Xu said that Mr. Su has a pure heart and has a bright future for saving the world and the people! As for the other meanings, Mr. Su should decide for himself."
After Su Ling heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, bowed to Shopkeeper He and said, "Well, thank you Master Xu for your kindness. Can you please tell Master Xu that I will come to visit Master Xu when I have time in the future?"
Shopkeeper He added: "Master Xu has given instructions. Mr. Su is a long way away, and many prosperous young men in Banan have not been seen yet. You can stay in Jiangshan Tower for a while and see the prosperity of Banan. All the hotel expenses, Jiangshan
The whole building is free.”
Hearing this, Su Ling hurriedly nodded and thanked her.
Shopkeeper He then took his leave.
Du Heng asked: "Where are we going now?"
Su Ling chuckled and said: "Go back to Jiangshan Tower and live and eat for free. If you don't take advantage of this, you have a lot of ideas!"
