Chapter 19: Amazing Talent

Wu County Ling is crawling in the officialdom, and Feng Qiumo is arrogant, how can he compare to Wu County Ling's cunning? The manuscript was in the bag, and trying to spit it out was as hard as plucking the feathers on an iron rooster. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Treacherous villain, treacherous villain!"

Feng Qiumo scolded angrily, and Wu Xianling laughed so much that he slurped his teeth.

After the meeting was dispersed, Feng Qiumo specially asked Mei Xueyan to talk about it. Mei Xueyan saw that he was still pouting, as if a child had not asked for the object he wanted, but looking at Wu County's order, she was triumphant, causing people to laugh secretly.

"Case Chief Mei, you are not only talented, but also well versed in the way of "benevolence and righteousness" of Sage Kong, which is very rare! You are still polite to the old man who sells charcoal, it can be seen that you are kind and mellow, no wonder Feng Lao has always favored you. ”

Mei Xueyan hurriedly said: "The students can't talk about great benevolence and love, but they just think to themselves, if it were my parents, I wouldn't bear to let them endure hunger and cold on a snowy day. ”

Feng Qiumo, who was originally twisting his head and sulking, heard this, his eyes lit up, and the haze dissipated.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and compare your heart to your heart...... Well, witty words, judging from the two poems you wrote, you will have great attainments in poetry in the future, and you must always encourage yourself and not slack off. Also, your word...... It's unsightly! ”

Mei Xueyan blushed, and she was the most ugly in her words.

"Students remember the teachings of the Academy."

Mei Xueyan secretly made up her mind, turned around and began to practice calligraphy.

"It's good if you know, there is more than enough Lingxiu, but the background is insufficient, this is a taboo for readers, don't delay your future."

Although Feng Qiumo was serious, his eyes were full of appreciation.

Mei Xueyan had to admire Feng Qiumo's vision, she was still old ginger, and she could see that she lacked background at a few glances. She has two thousand years of literary essence, but the days of studying the Eight Classics by herself are still young, and she has not yet understood it, and her calligraphy has not even touched the threshold, so Feng Qiumo's evaluation is very pertinent.

"Don't look at Feng Lao as strict, it's because he values you so much, the more he expects you, the more he picks at you."

Wu Xianling is much more tactful than Feng Qiumo in terms of life and speech, and sometimes he has a headache when Feng Qiumo opens his mouth to offend people. If he is sophisticated, it will not be Feng Qiumo, and he can only be relieved when he thinks about Wu County, and often speaks for him.

"Feng Yuanjun works hard, how can the students not know?"

Wu Xianling stroked his beard, he was not arrogant, and even he appreciated Mei Xueyan more and more.

"By the way, your manuscript is useless to you anyway, so give it to me!"

"As long as Wu County Order doesn't dislike it, a few days ago, the adult rewarded twenty taels of silver, which relieved the student's temporary embarrassment, and I haven't had time to thank you in person."

Feng Qiumo glared, Wu Xiao'er was really treacherous, and promised her a favor early, so that he would be rewarded for taking away the autographed manuscript. Feng Qiumo only felt tightness in his chest, he had already known, he sent someone to pick up Mei Xueyan, twenty taels for a poem, Wu County ordered to pick up a big leak!

It's just that this method can't be used again and again, if he learns from other people's practices, he will fall behind, not to mention, even if he thinks of it, Feng Qiumo doesn't bother to do it.

The more Feng Qiumo thought about it, the more unwilling he became, he couldn't let Wu County let this kid take advantage of him alone.

"Ahem...... The song "Momei" during your township exam, I like it very much, but the exam paper was handed over to the Academy of Literature, and the original manuscript can't be returned, can you transcribe it to me, although it is not the original manuscript, but it is written by the author himself. ”

Feng Qiumo's old face was a little unbearable, and he reached out to the student to ask for something, but it was the first time for him.

"It's just a few lines of poetry, and the students are willing to serve, as long as Feng Yuanjun doesn't dislike the ugliness of the students."

Saying that, Mei Xueyan picked up the pen and began to write, and the book was completed in a moment, and Feng Qiumo took it very much.

"Don't let people praise the color, just leave the air full of goodness...... You are still young and have not yet joined the WTO, why do you have such feelings? ”

Mei Xueyan replied truthfully: "At that time, the students were determined to participate in the imperial examination, so they were prepared to be criticized. Ordinary women are virtuous if they are not talented, and the accusations received by students will definitely not be less, in ancient times, Mulan served in the army for her father, and now there is a queen mother who listens to politics, and students naturally dare not compare with it, and they have no ambitions, but people live for a lifetime, how can they be as good as they want? But please be worthy of your heart. ”

Wu Xianling heard that "the Queen Mother lowered the curtain to listen to the government", her eyebrows were steep, this girl dared to say anything, for fear that she would not choose what to say and discuss the affairs of the emperor in vain.

He was worried, Feng Qiumo was not afraid.

"Today's Queen Mother is painstaking and lonely, and she is heartbroken for Jingguo, which is admirable, but who is this Mulan? What is the allusion to serving in the army for his father? ”

Mei Xueyan didn't read much history books, but she forgot that there was no such person as Mulan in this world.

"I heard it from listening to a book in a teahouse, I guess it was made up by the storyteller himself, it is about the woman Mulan, no brother and no brother, the country conscripts soldiers during the war, and each household must produce a man, Mulan's father is old, and she disguises herself as a man to serve in the army for her father."

Feng Qiumo was stunned and sighed: "Admirable, it is not an exaggeration to call it a hero." ”

Mei Xueyan rubbed the tip of her nose and finally prevaricated.

"The storyteller also made a poem commentary, I only remember the last two sentences: Serving in the army for my father is like a horse, who said that women are not as good as Lang?"

"How can a storyteller be so literate?" Feng Qiumo exclaimed, "No one in the world can be underestimated! ”

Mei Xueyan said it well, and Feng Qiumo and they believed it, otherwise if they asked around on the street, they would know that there was no such story and poetry at all.

Feng Qiumo was aroused by her, how could he not do his own thing, he was not afraid of power, he was also a well-known hard bone back then, he refused to bow his head and submit to softness, and even scolded the powerful Zuo Xiang now, offended the Zuo Xiang's faction, what good fruit could he eat? So he was demoted and exiled to teach in this small place in Lin'an County.

Compared with his own depression, Feng Qiumo felt that Mei Xueyan would be even more difficult and dangerous in the future if she entered the profession as a woman.

Thinking about it like this, Feng Qiumo actually felt sorry for each other.

"These two poems of yours have the talent to go out of the county and the mansion, I want to recommend them to the Academy of Literature, it is more difficult to go to "Wendao", but there is a thirty percent chance of publishing "Poetry Newspaper".

Wu Xianling turned his head to look at Feng Qiumo with a look of disbelief.

"Old Feng, do you really have this plan?"

Mei Xueyan didn't know what "Wendao" and "Poetry Newspaper" were, and the name sounded like a publication.

"Is it hard? Is there only a 30% chance of it? ”

The odds of 30% are too small, right? "The Charcoal Seller" is written by the poet Saint Du Fu, and "Momei" is written by the talented Wang Mian, which are all characters who shake the ancient and modern, can't they even be published? Mei Xueyan didn't believe it.

"It's not just difficult, we scholars and literati are all proud of their works on the "Poetry Newspaper", and if they can appear on the "Wendao", they can all be framed! The two kinds of publications founded by the Academy of Literature, "Poetry Daily" is a monthly magazine, "Wendao" is a semi-annual magazine, and the number of people in Panorama Mandarin is tens of millions. ”

Jingguo ten states, different sizes, on average down to ten prefectures in each state, Huatong Mansion has more than a dozen counties, "Poetry Daily" publishes more than a dozen articles per issue, so calculated, a prefecture can have one person on the publication is a great luck.

"Don't say that you are a child, that is, Xiucai is on the "Poetry Newspaper" is a once-in-a-decade encounter, in the entire Lin'an County for a hundred years, only Feng Lao is arrogant, and his deeds were published in the "Wendao" by the right minister, and I was also a young man who occasionally got good sentences and published them in the "Poetry Newspaper", among the juniors, except for Ma Jinqi's county test poems, which were published in the "Poetry Newspaper" once, there is no one."

Wu Xianling was so angry with her, Sancheng may not be satisfied? It's really a toad yawning, and the tone is not small!

Mei Xueyan bit her tongue, it was so difficult, she didn't hear anything outside the window before, since she was going to take the road of the imperial examination, she would have to read more of these two publications in the future, after all, she could learn a lot from gathering the essence of the world.

No wonder Ma Jinqi is known as a talented man in Lin'an, no one disagrees, even a person as arrogant as Shen Ziwen avoided being with him in the township examination, it turned out that he had already achieved such an achievement.

"Don't let him fool you." Feng Qiumo showed a rare smile and said, "It's hard to return, but the Academy of Literature doesn't look at the academic position, as long as you have real talent and real learning, there is still some possibility." ”

Mei Xueyan nodded, being able to achieve is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't work, she won't suffer from gains and losses. Feng Qiumo was even more satisfied when she saw her indifferent.

"What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to stay at the Lin Academy? ”

Mrs. Lin claimed that Mei Xueyan was a disciple of the Lin Academy, but she had never even stepped into the Lin Academy with half a foot, and she only hoped that she would not be entangled with the Lin family.

"I want to go to the county school."

Feng Qiumo was a little surprised, he thought that Mei Xueyan was from the Lin Mansion, whether it was love or fame and fortune, the Lin family's wife would definitely not let her go, and after he recognized Mei Xueyan, he planned to come to persuade her in person.

"Will Mrs. Lin agree?"

"Madame has never interfered with me too much."

Mei Xueyan is also strange, Madame is not harsh on her, she can only say that she is indifferent, as if there is no one in the house. So Mei Xueyan couldn't figure out Madame's attitude, if she treated her as dispensable, then maybe she would be allowed to get the deed back, but Madame didn't look like she would let her go.

"That's good, the Lin family is loyal to the family, what a beautiful situation back then, it is not easy for Mrs. Lin to manage the family business, but the Lin family school is becoming less and less presentable. You take care of the family affairs as soon as possible and report to the county school. ”

As a farewell to Wu County Ling and Feng Yuanjun, Mei Xueyan and Chen Junsheng took an ox cart back to the city.

"Yanniang, what did Feng Yuanjun tell you? You are a shocking skill today, and it seems that even Feng Yuanjun values you very much. ”

"I told Elder Feng that I would go to the county school to study, what about you?"

"Of course I'm going with you." Chen Junsheng said excitedly, "The Lin Academy was made into a miasma by Shen Ziwen, I didn't want to stay for a long time, the bookstore business is too poor, and a lot of people have been laid off recently, although the shopkeeper wants to keep me, but he seems to have some scruples, I simply quit myself, so as not to embarrass him." ”

"It's okay, let's go to the county school together as a companion and take care of it."

Mei Xueyan's mind turned, and she guessed that it was probably the Shen family's ghost, Chen Junsheng had a close relationship with herself, and the Shen family would definitely not be able to tolerate him.
