Su Jin sat in the carriage and thought about why Yan Shu wanted to see him? For some of his poems that had reached his ears, or for Yan Biyun and his own affairs? Yan Biyun said in his letter that day that Yan Shu wrote a letter.
He told Yan Biyun that he could no longer have a close relationship with him. At this time, he and Yan Biyun had nothing to do with each other. Why did he bother to meet him again?
After thinking about it, Su Jin suddenly felt relieved that there was no point in worrying about it. Seeing Master Yan, he knew everything, so there was no need to worry about it and add trouble to him.
When the car arrived at the parking lot at the west end of the academy outside the academy, it was filled with official cars and sedans. Su Jin looked carefully but did not find Yan Biyun's car. He couldn't help but wonder. Was that car just a coincidence? He just happened to sneak into Mr. Yan's car.
In the convoy?
At the entrance of the academy, Su Jin was surprised to see Cao Min standing at the door with his sleeves rolled up, looking around. When he saw Su Jin, he immediately swooped over like a fly smelling rotten eggs, took Su Jin's arm and said very affectionately: "Oh, Su Jin, you are
But why don't we just wait for a while? Why don't we take a rest today without warning? Even if we want to rest for a day, we should take a leave."
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "You pushed it all away. If you hadn't told me not to allow me to listen to Mr. Yan's lecture yesterday, how could I have rested at home?"
But since he said this, he naturally wanted to show him some dignity. Some of the government servants and academy gentlemen present seemed to be not generous enough if they really refused to let him go.
He immediately smiled and said: "Master Cao, I have realized my mistake. I apologize. I woke up late today. I saw that it was already late for school, so I was too lazy to come. I asked the boy at home to come and report it to me. Master Cao didn't see my little boy."
What are you doing?"
Cao Min blinked and said, "Young man?"
Su Jin winked and said, "Yes, you are a black and thin Ergouzi who looks a bit like an adult."
Cao Min's eyes rolled and he suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, see, I have such a bad memory. I am a general who has always forgotten his nature. Hahaha."
His face was filled with astonishment, but he secretly cursed: "He compared me to a young man who is a bastard. He cursed me in a roundabout way and called me a dirty name. This lazy boy is really hopeless."
Although Cao Min was very angry, he felt relieved when he saw that Su Jin was very satisfied and did not mention that he would not let him come to listen to the lecture. So he asked: "When I meet Master Yan later, he will definitely ask you why you are here today."
When you ask for leave, just tell the truth."
Su Jin smiled noncommittally, and Cao Min felt uneasy. Then, surrounded by everyone, the two of them came to the academy and walked all the way to Minglun Hall.
There is a spacious hall on the east side of Minglun Hall called "Zhizhi Hall". It was originally prepared for imperial officials to come to inspect training and famous teachers of the Song Dynasty to give lectures. It could accommodate hundreds of people, but it was a large lecture hall. Cao Min guided Su Jin into "Zhizhi Hall"
Looking through the flower window from the corridor outside the hall, the lecture hall was packed with people. Almost all the students gathered in the hall to wait to listen to Yan Shu's lecture.
Cao Min took Su Jin through the corridor on the side of the hall and went straight to the front door of a room for rest at the east end. Two yamen servants stood with big sticks in their hands. When they saw Su Jin, Cao Min and Cao Min raised their sticks horizontally and shouted: "What?
Everyone, please retreat quickly and let Sir Yan and other gentlemen chat inside. Do not let others come near."
Cao Min cupped his hands and said, "The two bad guys are the lecturers of our college who are welcoming the student Su Jin. Cao Min, the student Su Jin, is the person Mr. Yan has named to see. Please let me know."
A fat official looked at the two of them and muttered: "Lecturer? What kind of official position is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
The skinny little government official opposite said: "There are so many things you don't know about. Nowadays, there are so many official positions and all sorts of strange things. It's not surprising that you don't know about them."
The fat yamen servant scratched his head and said, "That's right." He pointed at Cao Min and Su Jin and said, "Stand here and wait for me to come in and report."
Cao Min thanked him repeatedly and looked very embarrassed; Su Jin almost laughed out loud when two government servants teased his official position in front of his face but did not dare to scold him. This is really not Cao Min's style. It seems that the saying that one person can reach heaven, a chicken or a dog, is indeed true.
; The government servants under the Third Secretary Envoy were also somewhat arrogant, but the petty officials did not dare to make any mistakes.
The fat yamen officer came out within a moment and said, "My lords, please come in. Your Majesty is in a very good mood. Please don't disturb your mood by talking nonsense."
Cao Min cupped his hands and said, "How dare you? Thank you so much. Thank you so much."
Su Jin secretly thought: Sure enough, when officials are in a good mood, the little monkeys below don't dare to ruin their good mood. Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes, but it was Cao Min who reminded him that he should go in and see him.
So he followed Cao Min to the house.
The two parts of the house are separated by a bamboo curtain, which can not only insulate sound but also block the radiating heat from the door. Two young servants, Cao Min, still stood at the entrance of the curtain and said loudly through the bamboo curtain: "Your Majesty, Cao Min, take the lead."
Su Jin, a student of this academy, came to see Master Yan."
The room inside the curtain that was filled with laughter suddenly became quiet and only a loud voice could be heard saying: "Coming in is like coming."
Cao Min hurriedly agreed loudly and the boy lifted the curtain. Cao Min pulled Su Jin and the two of them slipped through the bamboo curtain and came inside.
Su Jinyou glanced around and saw that the room was obviously specially decorated. A table was placed on the east side next to the first two rows of seats. There were tall and short people sitting in a row. Behind the table, there was a slightly fat man in a black long gown.
The old man with a beard was looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Grassman Su Jin pays homage to the Third Secretary Envoy." Su Jin went to pay homage.
The person behind the case waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be more polite to meet your lords."
"Thank you, Sir." Su Jin stood up and bowed to the many officials on the chairs on both sides. Cao Min on the other side helpfully introduced the official titles of the officials to Su Jin.
When Mr. Tang Jie Tang of Yingtian Mansion was introduced, Tang Jie laughed loudly and said, "Master Su, we are old acquaintances."
Su Jin bowed and said, "I just want to say hello to Mr. Tang."
Yan Shu was surprised and said: "Does the Tang Palace Master know this Su Jin?"
Tang Jie cupped his hands and said, "More than ten days ago, I accompanied Prince Teng on his way to Dongcheng Lake. I accidentally met Mr. Su and had a drink with him at the same table."
When Yan Shu heard that Su Jin and Prince Teng also recognized each other, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed it.
"Since we are old acquaintances, I believe Tang Fuzun also knows something unusual about this Su Jin." Yan Shu said with a smile.
"Isn't it unusual? It's amazing. When Prince Teng recorded a poem for Mr. Su to taste, he didn't expect that the poem was written by Mr. Su. He happened to bump into it and said, "Isn't it interesting?"
Everyone in the audience burst into laughter. Yan Shu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It's interesting. It's a coincidence that someone came to watch."
The boy brought a brocade stool and placed it under Yan Shu's right hand. Cao Min didn't even have a seat, but stood in a corner with a shy face and a smile.
"Young Master Su, you have such a big air. It's not easy for me to see your true face. Why didn't you come to school today and go sightseeing instead? Did you win the song "Treading on the Sand" or the song "Like a Dream"?
"Ah? Why don't you take it out and let me taste it." Yan Shu said with a smile.
Su Jin hurriedly leaned over and said, "Sir, I was joking. I felt cold today and I feel unwell. I'm really sorry. I went to the street shop early in the morning to grab some medicine, took some medicine, and went back to make soup. I didn't know that you wanted to see the common people. Please forgive me."
Cao Min glanced at Su Jin gratefully, then continued to smile and looked at Yan Shuchu eagerly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Oh? If you are not feeling well and you are young, you should avoid drinking alcohol to harm your health. Just before you arrived, I was talking about several of your lyrics. They are all amazing works. But don't imitate Liu San's transformation into a romantic woman.
It may not be a good thing to appear romantic but lose your fame and live in the world." Yan Shu looked at Su Jin's eyes with a hint of instruction.
"The common people have learned a lesson." Su Jin naturally knew that Liu Yong, a talented man of this dynasty, and Liu Sanbian, who wrote the lyrics, were blamed for his fame and wealth. Because of the sentence: "I can't bear to exchange the fame for a shallow cup and sing in a low voice", he was dismissed by this stroke. The emperor's words also make sense, "and
Why go and sing low to gain fame?" So Liu Yong sadly wandered in the rivers and lakes, his whereabouts becoming more and more decadent and depressed; in recent years, there are very few new lyrics; fortunately, Liu Yong has a brothel girl and is destined to have these women.
Their unconditional worship does not lack women and food.
"Su Jin, several of your poems have been copied by others. The styles of your poems are varied and beautiful. The meanings of your poems also contain a lot of experience. It's hard to imagine that they were written by a sixteen-year-old boy. Because of this, I am today
I want to see what kind of person you are. It’s rare for young talents to be pushed forward by the waves behind the river. It’s beyond the reach of old people like us.” Yan Shu laughed.
Everyone said one after another: "Although Su Jin's Ci is good, how can I reach it, sir?"
"My lord, 'It is helpless that the flowers have fallen away, and it is as if we have seen each other before, and the swallows have returned.' This sentence is the most unparalleled in modern and ancient times. It is a work that no one can surpass. It is beyond the reach of Su Jinci."
"It's not just the song "Picking Mulberries" written by "The Return of the Swallows" that even the women and children in the official family couldn't put it down." A white-faced official said eagerly, then closed his eyes and shook his head and chanted: "Time only helps people grow old.
If you don’t believe in sentimental love and long-lasting regret, it’s easy to wake up with tears in your Chun shirt and wine. The phoenix tree last night had a strong west wind and a pale moon. The moon was dim and bright. Good dreams often startled the high-rise buildings. The sound of wild geese. Tsk tsk... It’s really a masterpiece that combines scenes.”
Su Jin secretly laughed in his heart that such a poem could only be regarded as an ordinary one among Yan Shu's poems. This person didn't even know how to flatter, but he was just flattering. It was really ridiculous.
Yan Shu was used to these flattery words, but he didn't show any special disgust or joy. He just looked at Su Jin and said, "I just heard Master Tang record your new song "Magpie Bridge Immortal". This song is even more amazing. I am more and more interested in you."
The strong line, 'If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?' is such a heart-wrenching statement that it really makes people think about it."
Su Jin smiled and said: "My lord, you have praised the graffiti so much that it cannot be considered elegant."
Yan Shu said: "Don't pretend to be good. I, Yan Shu, don't praise others easily. Liu Sanbian is famous all over the world, but I still scold him. I'm just curious whether these two sentences of yours come from the sincerity or are just fallacious."
If the words written on the paper really exist in reality such a kind of love that cannot be met and cannot be kept together, can Mr. Su be as free and unrestrained and unswerving as in the lyrics?"
Su Jin's heart was shocked. There was something in Yan Shu's words that seemed to be influencing something. Su Jin raised his head and looked into Yan Shu's eyes. He suddenly found that Yan Shu's eyes had become cold and sharp. For a moment, his brain was short-circuited and he was speechless.
