Three hundred and fortieth eight chapters mad life
Leisure garden.
There is a lotus flower pond, a stone rockery, a moss-covered earth wall, and under a willow tree with thousands of silk ribbons hanging down from the wall beside the pond, there is a grass pavilion that does not have any aura of wealth at all. Even the stone tables and benches are large.
It is a piece of raw stone with almost no traces of carvings. At this moment, a scholar in his thirties or forties was sitting in the shade of a tree in front of the lotus pond, fishing. Six or seven people were composing poems over there. Some were shaking their heads in a leisurely manner, while others were scratching their heads with red faces.
.scratching of ears and cheeks.
I don't know how long it took, but the fishing scholar looked back at the scholars who had founded a poetry club named after this great victory in the battle, and chanted a few words slowly.
"A chivalrous man attaches great importance to merit and fame, and invites special expeditions to the northwest. He is accustomed to fighting with bows and horses, and is rewarded with life. Meng Gong likes to sit in shock, and Guo Nengshi is rampant. General Li Duwei went out of Pingcheng overnight."
Aware of a whisper behind him, he picked up the bamboo basket, which was only about one or two small fishes, and threw it into the lotus pond. When he saw two fish falling into the water, he swung his tail and dived into the lotus pond in a moment.
In the middle of the leaves, he put the fishing rod on his shoulder, picked up the empty bamboo basket and walked away slowly, still chanting poems in his mouth.
"I don't do alchemy. I don't meditate. I don't work for merchants. I don't plow the fields. I write and sell them on the green hills when I have free time. I don't make money to do evil in the world."
Seeing him walking straight towards the depths of the path, several scholars looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but ask if they knew this person. As a result, they asked one by one, but none of them knew. At this time, one of them finally stood up angrily.
Said: "I can only make a few crooked poems, but my craftsmanship must not be as good as ours. Why do such crazy people do it! Think about how arrogant the four great talents in Wuzhong were at the beginning, but only Xu Zhenqing got one after many years of frustration.
The second grade passed on to Lu, which shows that the name of a talented scholar is useless!"
He said it was useless, but the poetry club had already started, and he still had to do it next, and wine, food and various candied fruits were all indispensable, and it didn’t take long for them to be delivered like a stream of water. In the middle of drinking and drinking, it was just
The depression of being in the limelight for others will naturally disappear with the summer breeze.
And just now the scholar holding the fishing rod walked inside for a moment, but he bumped into a man who was pacing and looking around. If this man was not in his early fifties and looked elegant in plain clothes, he would almost think that
Where did this guy come from? Therefore, when he saw the person coming out of the way, he didn't just pass by sideways, but asked directly: "Further inside is the residence of the owner of the leisure garden.
Here, the old gentleman is wandering here looking for someone?"
Although the little emperor wanted him to come back as soon as possible, these days the censors were swarming to catch him and impeach him. Zhang Cai felt angry and decided to resign if he couldn't survive it. He immediately continued to stay at home, but
Simply recuperating behind closed doors would weaken his voice, so he often visited Xianyuan. From time to time, he would meet Li Mengyang and others who opened a poetry club again.
He went to Zhan Ruoshui to give lectures. After listening to it, he was not interested at first, but he couldn't help but participate in the debate with Zhan Ruoshui. After half a month, his title of Xilu actually became somewhat famous in this leisure garden. Although Li Mengyang and others
No one has revealed his identity, but most people will call him Xilu Gong when they see him, which makes him have another feeling.
"You don't recognize me?" As soon as Zhang Cai said these words, he saw the scholar's expression of surprise. He immediately regretted that he had forgotten that he was still a court official after hanging out with each other these days, so he coughed dryly and said with a smile, "
I'm not really looking for someone, I'm just curious about the owner of the garden, plus I'm a little itchy and want to know the follow-up to that poem."
"If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind so sad and painted with a fan?" The scholar asked back. When Zhang Cai nodded, he smiled and said, "It's strange that so many people come here to recite poems and write poems. It turns out they are all because of leisure.
The owner of the garden is so elegant that even I, a newcomer to the capital, can't help but join in the fun, let alone the old gentleman."
Zhang Cai's age is shown here, and Li Mengyang and others all respectfully call him Xilu Gong. Although he never mentions his first name, he is quite respected in Xianyuan, and few people talk to him like this. Therefore.
He couldn't help but be a little interested in such a scholar who had just arrived in the capital. He immediately smiled and said: "Oh, is there another poetry club outside?"
"I'm just imitating other people's arty manners. How can I call it a poetry society?" Although he had been idle for many years, his arrogant temperament could not be changed, so the scholar smiled and casually repeated the works of the previous scholars.
He remembered six or seven poems in one go word for word. Seeing that Zhang Cai frowned as expected, he said with a half-smile, "Li Xiyagong in the cabinet today is a great figure in the literary world, and everyone is famous for it."
If you want to learn the tune of the Chaling School, but you don’t learn it in the same way, isn’t it ridiculous?”…
Zhang Cai is not good at poetry. When he heard the scholar's harsh comments, as if he didn't even take Li Dongyang seriously, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Seeing that he was speaking leisurely, but his eyebrows were somewhat tangled, he felt a little confused in his heart.
He had concluded that he had failed before, and was about to give him a few words of encouragement like a senior, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
"Brother Bohu, you ran out again without saying a word, making it easy for me to find you!"
After more than a month of nursing, Xu Jing's body has completely recovered. At this time, he hurried forward and saw Tang Bohu talking to someone. He couldn't help but take a look and recognized that it was Xianyuan who had been quite busy during this period.
The somewhat famous Duke of Xilu held his pod in his arms, said hello, and immediately pulled Tang Yin away.
"It is said that Mr. Xu has been back for several days. He just didn't see you because he had no time. I asked you to make preparations. You still have time to come here to fish! Who do you think this Xilu Gong is? That is the Selected Works of the Ministry of Officials
Zhang Cai, the chief minister, has mastered the advancement and retreat of many officials! I said to Bohu, you have already come to the capital, why don't you go to the Xing'an residence and have to stay in the outer city? Are you willing to carry someone who cheated in the imperial examination?
A lasting reputation?"
Seeing that Zhang Cai had gone out with Xu Jujin behind his back, Tang Yin was silent for a long time, and then he smiled bitterly: "I am willing, how can I be willing? I will not go to Xing'an Bo Mansion because I am afraid that I will just hold on to hope like this.
I went there, but people thought that I was an advocate of excellence, and all I did was write those poems, spend my free time hanging out with scholars here and there, and act like a refined guest."
"Then you're going to go to Xianyuan and kick people around?" Xu Jing thought that he and Tang Yin had the most bad rapport back then, precisely because they both had unruly temperaments. When he said these words, Tang Yin shut up.
Without saying a word, it was obvious that he acquiesced, and he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, "Do you think there are so many court officials and even scholars gathered here, and as long as you dial the address like this, it's best to be stubborn - people like Li Mengyang are also the same."
Once you are defeated, you can become famous again? Bohu, Bohu, after so many years, you still don't know how to wake up. Do you think this is Wuzhong and this is Jiangnan?"
"This is the capital. People like Li Mengyang are very high-spirited, and they are all Li Ge's old disciples. If you beat the younger ones, be careful to provoke the older ones!" At this point, seeing that Tang Yin didn't feel at ease on his face, he said,
He emphasized his tone and said, "Besides, why do you think this leisure garden scene is so big, and why do so many literati come here again and again? Wang Shouren is the leader of the lectures, and as for the poetry club
Li Mengyang was the leader, but the reason why they came here was because of Mr. Xu’s help. Let me tell you straight, the whole Xianyuan industry actually belongs to Mr. Xu!"
Tang Yin had only been in Xianyuan for three days, and he had already defeated dozens of people who had set up a poetry club here. He didn't care about anyone. He only regretted that Li Mengyang and others didn't come.
There was no chance for a hearty battle. Subconsciously, he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet the famous saying of the owner of the garden these days: "If life is just like the first time we met", he never thought of it.
, what Xu Jing revealed was such a result.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
"Why don't you take it seriously!" Xu Jing snorted angrily, and then said lightly, "You came too late, and you didn't notice what the situation was like before Xianyuan. In just one month, from the inside out.
It’s not an exaggeration to describe the change as a miracle. I don’t have any other talents. I only helped people set up three or four gardens when I was in Jiangyin, so whether it’s the lotus pond in front, the thatched pavilion or even the earthen wall
, it’s all my handiwork. As for the rest, it’s too late in just one month.”
"It's so..."
Seeing Tang Yin standing there in a daze, Xu Jing thought of Xu Xun's bold designs, as well as the plays that Xu Xun had polished and revised from his writing, and finally smiled at his close friend considerately: "So,
Let go of your unrealistic and ridiculous thoughts. Mr. Xu is young, but just seeing that he can push Xu Zhenqing to the second-level pass, it is enough to show that he will never regard you as some kind of advocating for excellence. Since you have already
I am extremely desperate, and now I have hope but I am still picky. Do you think it is rare for someone to be called a genius in the world?”….
Full of ambitions, Xu Jing poured a bucket of cold water over his head. After leaving the leisure garden, Tang Yin threw all the fishing rods and bamboo baskets to the side of the road, and just returned to the inn empty-handed. However, he just made a bed in the room.
He opened the paper and rolled up his sleeves when there was a knock on the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned. The people standing outside were none other than Xu Quqing and Zhu Zhishan Wen Zhengming!
"Bohu, you have indeed come to Beijing!" Zhu Zhishan and Tang Yin have the most irresistible friendship. At the moment, without caring about anything else, he stepped forward and held Tang Yin's hand tightly. When he saw pens and papers spread out on the desk, he
He asked angrily, "We invited you before Xiao Xu came to the capital, but you didn't come. After the imperial examination, Xiao Xu Yaotun signed his name. We wrote to you but you didn't get a reply. If Xu Jing hadn't sent us a letter,
, we didn’t even know you actually entered the capital! You came here quickly this time!”
This time he is enjoying the treatment of Jinyiwei delivering letters and Jinyiwei escorting him, can he not be happy?
Tang Yin gave a wry smile and saw that Xu Zhenqing was in high spirits and more confident than when he became famous in Suzhou. Knowing that this was the result of being selected as a member of the Imperial Academy after being named on the gold list, he immediately put aside the confusion he had just felt.
A friend let him into the house. As soon as he closed the door, he found three people gathered around his table looking at the blank piece of paper. He couldn't help but coughed dryly: "It's just blank paper. What's so good about it?"
of!"
"Seeing that you have an inn to stay in and have no worries about food and clothing, but you don't have the leisure time to write elegantly, so I'm very puzzled." Wen Zhengming said without hesitation. Seeing that although Tang Yin was mute, he was not annoyed.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "Bohu, Xu Jing is currently living in Xing'an Bo Mansion. Did he invite you to come here?"
"So what?"
"If so, then congratulations to you, Mr. Xu. Not only do you have great hands and eyes, but you will also try your best to support the people you value. The two closest ones are the two Xiao Xus you know. As for the others...
..Did you hear that after this great victory, he transported all the bones of the fallen soldiers back to Datong for burial, and recommended a list of meritorious soldiers, from the Xuanfu avant-garde, the Datong left-back, to the Guoyong camp, and then to his own Fujun avant-garde
, a total of ten thousand with zero? One of them, Qian Ning, was originally just an official with a thousand households, but he actually directly recommended his commander. For this, he had a lot of verbal battles with the Confucian scholars in the court, and the scene was spectacular.
It’s amazing, when we walked out of the Wenhua Hall, the faces of several elders were blue!”
ps: I actually thought yesterday was the last day of May,...I was living in a confused state...Since today is the last day, let me continue to work hard to get monthly tickets!
