Li Xiaotian ran along the coast for more than a hundred steps, and finally found the boat. The boat was parked by the lake, but the woman in white clothes was not there. Li Xiaotian quickly went to ask, but the boatman shook his head and said that the girl had left for a while, and he had not seen her either.
do not know.
Li Xiaotian quickly looked around, looking for her figure, hoping that God would not play tricks on anyone and she would not be far away, but the reality was not as expected. No matter how much he hoped, he could never see her. Li Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh, and reluctantly put the handkerchief into his arms.
middle.
After experiencing a heart-pounding episode, although it was quite a pity, Li Xiaotian quickly adjusted his mentality. He is not the kind of person who feels sorry for himself. People should be good at looking forward. It is easy to always walk backwards.
If you fall down and fate takes its toll, who can do anything? Of course, except for the blood feud.
Juxian Pavilion is located in a high-rise building by the lake. Li Xiaotian and Han Shuo also climbed here in the past. Thinking of the high-spirited scene at that time, but now things have changed, I remember and sighed in my heart. It is a rare place.
To revisit is to climb the stairs alone again.
As soon as we entered the building, there was an endless stream of people coming and going. Judging from their appearance, they all exuded a literary style. They should be candidates who came to take the national examination. They climbed high and looked far, which was in line with the elegance of literati. Moreover, they were the same as Li Xiaotian back then.
Compared to going upstairs, there are only a lot more people.
Finally, when we reached the top floor and the attic, it was crowded with people.
Li Xiaotian came at the right time. At this time, everyone was reciting poems and composing poems, making friends with friends through writing, and it was a lot of fun.
Some people praise Jingdao and dare to say spring all year round without entering Shang'an City?
Some people frivolously say that spring is infinitely beautiful, and beautiful women fall into the beauty of dreams.
Some people complain that they take the national examination every year and fail the yellow list every year.
Some people are quite heroic, they have traveled thousands of miles, and they will never stop without mentioning the gold medal.
…
Each person's words came one after another. When someone made a good sentence, applause burst out from time to time. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.
Li Xiaotian looked at their enthusiastic scholarly expressions, as if he had seen himself back then, silently admiring this familiar scene.
"Brother, it's your turn." A scholar standing next to Li Xiaotian finished his impromptu remarks. Seeing that Li Xiaotian was stunned, he reminded him.
Helpless, Li Xiaotian said casually: "The green lake towers remain the same as ever, and the colors are always spring."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at Li Xiaotian in unison. The noisy floor was silent for a moment, chewing the poem just now. After a while, someone finally spoke up to analyze, thinking about the scenery, sighing about the time, and the dullness.
Coordinated, neatly contrasted, implicit in expression, full of emotion, and good sentences, I have to say that scholars are good at articulating words and completely interpreting the true emotions in Li Xiaotian's heart. After his answer, everyone couldn't help but praise him.
Li Xiaotian couldn't deny it and replied with a smile: "It's too praised, it's too praised."
"May I ask my brother's name? I think it's quite unworthy of me to be able to improvise such a wonderful sentence?" someone suddenly asked.
Li Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "If your surname is Zhang, your last name only has the character Shan."
The name Li Xiaotian, in order to facilitate the investigation of the Lijiagou incident, cannot be returned for the time being. As for Lu Shiba, he has the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is the chief examiner of the national examination. Although they are all newcomers, they are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of ten thousand.
First, it would be terrible if someone well-informed knew his identity. If some officials who saw him as a thorn in his side found out, they would probably read a few books about him and say that the examiner mixed with the candidates and gave a leaky question.
If he was suspected of being a scholar, then he would have to be eliminated. On balance, he could only borrow Zhang Shan's name, which would allow him to indirectly experience what it means to be a scholar.
"Zhang Shan? I've never heard of such a person. Do you know about him?"
"No, never heard of that."
"It's normal if you don't know. Maybe it's your first time to take the national exam."
…
Everyone kept talking about the fact that this person was not found.
Li Xiaotian felt helpless and said: "I didn't take the national examination. Brothers, you don't know that I am really normal. But I know that the national examination is coming soon. Juxian Pavilion is indispensable for literati. I also like to dance and write, so I came to join in the fun."
"
"Looking at Brother Zhang's clothing and behavior, he must be from Kyoto, right?" Someone suddenly asked.
"Not really, I just lived in Kyoto for less than half a year." Li Xiaotian replied truthfully.
"Half a year, have you ever met the newly promoted Minister of Household Affairs?" One person asked hurriedly, and everyone looked at Li Xiaotian with expectation.
This sudden turn of the question caught Li Xiaotian off guard. Could it be that these guys discovered that he was lying and knew his true identity?
"No." Li Xiaotian shook his head and replied.
Someone asked: "Then you must have heard of his heroic deeds, right?"
Li Xiaotian still nodded.
Finally, someone couldn't help complaining: "Brother Zhang, your poems are indeed very good. I have to say that your knowledge is really narrow. You have been in Kyoto for half a year, and you have never heard of the famous poet.
You must know that different ministers of the Ministry of Finance are familiar with his deeds, even the beggars in the capital, but you don't know anything about it?!"
"Can I really be so famous?" Li Xiaotian couldn't help but ask himself, strongly doubting whether he lived in the same world as them.
Everyone saw that Li Xiaotian looked ignorant, so someone started to spread knowledge to him: "This newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been in office for less than two months. He acts vigorously, resolutely and selflessly. He was ordered to inspect sixteen states and sent half of the state pastors to prison.
Not only that, he also returned all the stolen money to the people of each state. According to reliable rumors, this Minister of Household Affairs also liberated a black mine, saved many innocent miners, and gave them considerable compensation. He was so selfless and unselfish.
He is honest and devoted to the public affairs and serves the people wholeheartedly. He can be said to be the most benevolent. He is a clean stream in the officialdom and a great blessing to the Autumn Kingdom. This is also the reason why there are so many candidates taking the national examination this time. Because his deeds inspired countless candidates and made them see it again.
hope."
Obviously, this candidate is a loyal supporter of Li Xiaotian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His narration is full of family treasures, melody and full of emotion. When he talks about the exciting part, he dances with joy and his eyes are shining with the stars of admiration.
Not only him, but all the candidates present seemed to respect Li Xiaotian very much. After the man finished speaking sonorously and powerfully, everyone burst into cheers and applause, which was even more enthusiastic than the good words and phrases they had just heard.
Faced with such ardent pursuit and praises from so many noble words, no matter how Li Xiaotian claimed to be unfazed by favors and humiliations, at this moment, he couldn't help but break his skills and felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
Among them, Li Xiaotian also imitated their applause and cheers, and praised himself.
