Zhu Zhishan has been detained in the Cui family, and the rest is at the mercy of Cui Xie. Cui Xie asked Zhu Zhishan's book boy and the doorman to run to the guild hall with his famous poster, and Lifu in the guild hall brought Zhu Zhishan's luggage and accompanying servants over.

Gu Lin and several other people who lived in the Suzhou Guild Hall also took the opportunity to carry luggage to watch the fun. They communicated any news between their scholars, and soon the guild halls, guest houses, and other people living in the nearby streets all knew that Zhu Zhi had to ask Cui Xie, a fellow examiner of Jinke and a talented student of two yuan, to take a fancy to him. Allow him to move to his own home to study.

Li Zhaoxian, who was out for a walk, was also wrapped in acquaintances and followed outside the Cui family.

When you arrive at your brother's house, you are at your own home. He was taken by others before, and when he got here, he turned over and became the master, waving his hands to greet those teenagers who wanted to enter but did not dare to enter: "Isn't it even more rude to not visit when they have already arrived at the house? I will take you to be a villain today. Guest, come forward and see what kind of talents my brother has recruited as new disciples."

He dragged his classmates and stepped forward, and when the onlookers saw someone else entered, they all followed up boldly, and wanted to see what the talented family of Liang Yuanjidi was like.

There was only a cook and an old man who was swept away in the house, and even the groom was sent to the countryside, and no one greeted them. Cui Xie packed up the manuscripts in the garden, and Zhu Yunming temporarily acted as a doorman and stood by the side door to greet him, and brought all the scholars who came to watch the fun into the small courtyard on the street that Cui Xie arranged for him.

After all, it was a mansion bestowed by God, and it was carefully cleaned by Eunuch Gao. The yard is small, but it is beautiful and tidy, and there is a full set of furniture made of fine wood. Zhu Zhishan watched people bring things into the bedroom, ordered the book boy to clean it up, and led the group of scholars to the yard... He stood for a while, took out a purse, and ordered Lifu to help order wine and food, and entertain guests.

Li Zhaoxian, who was the first to enter the door, stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile, "There is no reason to ask guests to spend money. Zhu Juren is a talented person that my senior brother likes. When a distinguished guest enters the door, my senior brother must have arranged for someone to prepare a banquet at this time, but it is not. It should also be arranged for him by me, the younger brother."

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, put on a skillful posture and asked the shopkeepers to buy wine and vegetables, and then recruited a few young and handsome little singers to serve the wine.

A romantic talent is to be accompanied by red sleeves, drinking and writing poetry!

Over the years, Junior Brother Li has never lost his dream of being a poet and a romantic genius. However, because his senior brother kept talking to his father about health preservation, their family was living in old age ahead of schedule. He was such a mad poet who couldn't drink alcohol or see beautiful women. He was full of romance and smothered in poetry, and what he wrote was the grievance of "in the infinite secluded sleep, the first return of Rihuating's noon dream".

Now that the courtyard is full of talented people, it's finally time for him and the three or five... ten confidants to sit together and recite poetry to wine! It's a pity that his senior brother is already an official of the court, and recruiting prostitutes at home will be impeached by the censor, so he can only make do with calling some men.

Li Gongzi shook his head and sighed while taking out the money. He handed out the embroidery bag, but he was told to intercept it in the middle, and a voice as loud as a clear spring struck a stone, pulling him back from his dream of being a talented man.

"Where can I ask you to spend money at your brother's house?"

As soon as Li Zhaoxian raised his eyes, he saw his senior brother Cui Xie, the expert in charge of their father and son exercising every day.

His age is not special in this group, and he does not wear official uniforms at home. The only person who recognized him was one who paid money to treat guests here, and the other who didn't wear glasses, so he quietly slipped into the crowd, accurately strangling Mr. Li's idea of taking advantage of many people to be romantic. .

Cui Xie put the purse back into his hands, turned around and smiled and said, "Since everyone is in the humble house today, Cui, as the host, will naturally try his best to entertain them. The guest house is cramped, so please follow me to the main courtyard."

Before he became an official, he also hired a few prostitutes to serve wine at banquets. After he became an official, he paid more and more attention to the image of cleanliness. He didn't care about prostitutes or sings. He only asked the scholars to serve wine with poetry to show their talents. He is the master and the room teacher of the current department. New talents are a little restrained in front of him, and he dare not force him to write poems. A few sentences of Zhu Zi's moral and logical questions will suffice.

Cui Xie was unable to write poetry, but he was still able to comment on poetry. Whenever anyone asked him, he would comment on two lines of "super-consciousness, out of the ordinary", "extraordinary words, and prudent in doing things", and praised the talented people with satisfaction.

This kind of banquet is too healthy and uplifting, it is too suitable for him!

Zhu Zhishan also wrote poems at the meeting, showing his talent of poetry and calligraphy, and dumped the students of Beijing. Li Zhaoxian went to the crowd and read the poem several times, and when he looked at Zhu Zhishan again, he seemed to have seen some beautiful woman, and he leaned in front of Cui Xie and sighed, "Senior brother really knows how to pick people up, this Zhu Juzi is no less talented. The talented Henan Li Mengyang that Yu's father likes!"

who

Li Mengyang

Didn't it say that Li Mengyang and Li Dongyang had a bad relationship, and even wrote a script to satirize Li Dongyang to suppress him, why did he become a talent that Li Dongyang liked again

Cui Xie looked at Li Zhaoxian with some confusion, but his younger brother thought he had never heard Li Mengyang's name, so he approached him and introduced in a low voice, "Li Mengyang's character is Xianji, it's the Shaanxi township test to understand Yuan, and his talent is excellent. My father I have read his poems and make good use of the method of stumbling and interjecting, and they have the true rhythm of Tang poetry, which is not something that ordinary good Tang poets can learn from words and rhymes."

Mr. Li is indeed a good teacher who is broad-minded and willing to help his younger generation. Look back at Li Mengyang and see what kind of person he is.

But it doesn't matter how his character is, anyway, he only occupies two or three pages in the history of ancient literature, and he didn't hold a big official position. It's true that the master and the apprentice are turning against each other, and Tuo Tuo'er is also the boss of Li Dongyang who has the upper hand!

Cui Xie felt relieved after thinking about it. After reading the poems full of his heart, Junior Brother Li, who was easy to call the talented man Gouran, glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a good relationship with Mengyang?"

Junior Brother Li would have liked to have it, but unfortunately, he was able to take the mid-term exam and raise his son. He, a young scholar who had not yet taken the exam for a scholar, had a different identity than others, so he didn't climb up and hand in so quickly.

Hearing this, Cui Xie shook his head and sighed: "My teacher, Nian, you are weak, and I dare not force you. I didn't want to force you in the past. I just taught you poetry and books to make a living. Talented people make friends, which of the talented people we know is not a famous person? My teacher is at your age and has become a jinshi, but you are only a Confucian boy, don’t you feel uncomfortable when interacting with people?”

It must be uncomfortable, but Junior Brother Li is dizzy!

He didn't perform well when he entered the examination room. This year, when he took the examination, he caught up with the cold spring. On the day of the hospital examination, it rained all day, and he almost fell ill from the cold. What's more, Junior Brother Li only wanted to be a romantic talent, and his mind was devoted to poetry. The collection of poems was almost finished, and the collection of test questions had not been written from scratch.

Li Zhaoxian's heart was as hot as the talent's singing, and he sighed: "My little brother also has such thoughts. It's just that my brother's luck in the field has never been good. If my brother can teach me to win, Zhaoxian is willing to write poems for my brother from now on. Thank you."

… This kid is too straightforward!

Was he the kind of person who taught him well so that his younger brother could write poems for him and be a gunman!

Cui Xie slammed the table: "Junior brother, needless to say. My two brothers have just passed three children's exams this year. Before the exam, I also set the review rules for them. If the junior brother can trust me, when their brothers return to Beijing, I will call them. They and Brother Heling help you get used to the exam room!"

When Junior Brother Li heard his sincere words, he was impulsive and said "Okay"!

After the poetry meeting in the evening, Zhu Zhishan stayed at Cui Mansion, while Li Zhaoxian rode back to Li's house. Until the next afternoon when his father came back, he asked him with a smile, "You told your senior brother to prepare for the college exam, and let him help you prepare for the exam? When I was on duty today, he specifically told me to ask you to pack some of the commonly used clothes. Move to his house, it's good for a night at his house."

Li Zhaoxian glared at his biological father and asked, "What? I've never heard of moving to my brother's house!"

Li Dongyang glanced at him and explained with a smile: "Your brother doesn't always stay with you, he wants to set up an examination room at home to prepare you for the 'mock test'. He is afraid that you will answer slowly and will not be able to go home before the curfew at night. , I have to be prepared to leave you for the night."

and many more! Why take a mock exam at this time! At this time, shouldn't it be better to teach books first, and then lock up in the small black examination booth two or three months before the exam

Li Zhaoxian had seen Cui Xie shut himself up in a small dark room for two days, taking the test every two days. From doing the questions during the day to the night, he felt hard when he looked outside. It is only the first ten days of March, and he is going to go in and suffer. When will he have to endure

Do not! He can hold off for another half a year!

He pulled his father's sleeve, and said obediently and obediently, "I'm still waiting for a poem with my father..."

His father clapped his hand, full of smiles, and said ruthlessly: "Jinke Xu Ge Laoyao Museum selects Shuji Shi, and the selected ones should be taught by me, and there are many talents who are good at poetry and poetry. Poetry writer, there are more friends in the DPRK and China who can write poems with me, and my son doesn’t have to worry about my father.”

But father, don't you worry about your son

Li Zhaoxian was full of fear and pain. Seeing that his father arranged for someone to pack up his old clothes, he sent him to the Cui Mansion as resolutely as he was sending him.

On the 15th day of the third month of the third month, the court judged, and selected Mao Cheng, Xu Mu, and Luo Qinshun as the top three, ninety people headed by Gu Qing, the second top class, as jinshi, and the remaining 205 people as fellow jinshi. The university scholar Xu Pu on this book requested the opening of the department to select Shuji Shi, and in the future, each subject will be tested, which is considered to be customized.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately approved, and ordered the cabinet to take the examination of the two ministries of officials and rituals, and selected 20 sages, including Wang Jun, Chuanlu, and Gu Qing, who were taught by Li Dongyang and Fu Han, a graduate student.

For such a major event that can win the hearts of scholars all over the world, Liu Ge Lao did not rush to sign the memorial and take the credit for himself!

Xu Pu, Liu Jian, and Qiu Jun were all a little surprised. When discussing this matter in private, they all felt that Liu Shoufu had created an animation box when he was in Beijing last year, as if he was addicted to health care. Health-giving, it's not like I used to think about impeaching this and that every day.

Is it possible to practice qigong without people's desire for power

The three patriarchs were amazed, and they only hoped that Liu Mian would continue to serve without interfering, and quietly become his mascot in the first assistant seat. Liu Shoufu also knew that they were talking about him behind his back, but he only smiled slightly and said to his confidant: "I have been a bachelor for 18 years and a first assistant for six years. What kind of credit do I still take from others? Entering the cabinet is based on seniority. If I don't submit my resignation, how long can I stay in this position?"

Xu Pu and Qiu Jun are older than him. At this time, they don't know how to take care of their bodies. They worry about such trivial matters as Shuji all day long. He's not the kind of person who doesn't care. First, take advantage of this peaceful time to exercise your body. In a few years, the crown prince will leave the cabinet, and he will teach Cui Xie how to get along between the emperors of the two dynasties and become the elder of the two or three dynasties.

Liu Shoufu had a lofty ambition to support his life, and because of the lack of his intervention in the affairs of the court, he moved forward more cleanly and efficiently. Thanks to him being less busy, Cui Xie was much more leisurely at work than before, and he could get off work a little earlier after finishing his office get off work every day, watching the masons build a special mock test shed at home.

In Cui's old house, there is also a team of repair craftsmen who are renovating the house under the supervision of the Cui family steward and Chang Sui, in case the owner returns to live.

After Cui Xie came out of the examination room, he made an engagement with the Yang family and informed his grandmother. And just a few days after the letter was sent back to his hometown, just after the palace examination, Cui Liangdong rushed back from his hometown with his family, and first went to the new house to deliver the letter to Cui Xie, saying that Mr. Cui was very satisfied with the marriage and wanted to bring the old lady, The two sons returned to Beijing together to preside over the wedding in person.
