Chapter 14 Swear not to test fame
The subordinate who led Li Jing and Li Heng made a gesture towards Zhang Shao'an, who was sitting in the middle of an old man, and then retreated to the side.
"Why are there two people, which one of you is Li Jing?" It was the Xiling Mountain man who spoke, and his tone was full of disdain.
Li Jing frowned, he liked Lao Mao's words very much, 'People don't offend me, I don't offend people.' If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ’。
He ignored Mr. Xiling's question, but learned his tone and said disdainfully: "Why are there so many people, which of you is Zhang Shaoan?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the scholars present were in an uproar, and immediately Wu Youwei couldn't help but ask Li Jing: "Huangkou Xiaoer, how can you be so rude." ”
Li Jingxin said, Lao Tzu can't ask you for anything, so I need to pretend to be your grandson. He didn't answer him, swept through everyone, and found that there were snacks on the stone table, so he couldn't help touching his belly, and he ran for a long time, he was really hungry. So, he walked up to the old men in a big way, and before everyone could react, he picked up a plate of cloud cake from the stone table and walked back to Li Jue, "Eat!" ”
When Li Jue was growing up, he couldn't stand the hunger, and when he saw the food, his Adam's apple rolled for a while, and he grabbed the cloud cake and ate it in a big gulp, and while eating, he secretly praised the dim sum of the big family as delicious.
Li Jing also stuffed a piece into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Who of you here can speak, Lao Tzu is a rough person, I don't talk to you about twists and turns, Lao Tzu is here to return the scriptures, and by the way, ask for my mother's wages." ”
A few black lines appeared on the faces of the scholars, and they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth, and Zhang Shaoan felt that his face was dull, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure.
"You guy, you have a lot of guts."
The person who spoke was Wu Youwei, who had an extraordinary background, and was the son of Wu Bing, one of the three major salt merchants in Donghu County.
The Wu family has been in business for generations, and it took three generations for Wu Youwei to be such a showman, and the family was like a baby, which also made Wu Youwei extremely arrogant, and beat people whenever something didn't go his way. He saw that Li Jing was not as good as his servant, and thought that he was just poor. This kind of slut dared not answer his question, and he also made a big fuss in front of their group of elegant guests, and the eldest prince lost his temper, rushed to Li Jing, and stretched out his hand to slap Li Jing.
Li Jing's eyes were quick, he reached out and grabbed his arm, squinting his eyes and looking at him carefully.
Wu Youwei's face was cloudy, and he wanted to break free of Li Jing's hand, but the more he struggled, the tighter Li Jing's hand was held, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you know who I am?" ”
Li Jing's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, "Do you know who I am?" ”
His momentum was more than twice as strong as Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Who are you?" ”
Before the words fell, Li Jing punched Wu Youwei in the stomach, Wu Youwei was in pain, his body bent like a prawn, and he fell to the ground.
"Remember, Lao Tzu's name is Li Jing. As for who you are, mind my bird! ”
"Presumptuous," Zhang Shaoan really couldn't stand it, he had never seen such a disregard for the tricky guy, Huo Di stood up, pointed at Li Jing and said, "You, get out of here." ”
Li Jing pursed his lips, "Listening to your tone, it must be Zhang Shaoan, right?" ”
Zhang Shaoan's chest rose and fell violently, no one had called him so directly for a long time, even if the prefect and county came to him to discuss things, he had to politely call him 'Mr. Luthos'. And the poor sour boy in front of him, cutting the left sentence 'Zhang Shaoan' and the right sentence 'Zhang Shaoan', didn't take this official gentleman in his eyes at all.
He wanted to call the guards to break Li Jing's leg, but he didn't want to lose his demeanor in front of his friends and juniors. He had no choice but to hold back his anger and replied, "Yes, I am Zhang Shaoan." ”
Li Jing nodded, took out the copied scriptures from his arms, walked to Zhang Shao'an's side and stretched out his hand to hand it over.
Zhang Shaoan snorted coldly, twisted his head to the side, and didn't take the scripture at all.
Li Jing smiled, threw the scriptures on the table, and then said, "My mother, Li Liu, will not come to your house to work in the future." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Wait, you beat someone, do you want to go like this?" Lin Gongzi, Ling Zun is the official of the county's parents, you have to be the master of Friend Wu. ”
Hearing the words 'Ling Zun is the parent official of the county', Li Jing's scalp was numb for a while, and the matter was getting bigger, although he was a lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but after all, he was now begging the county government for something, if the son of the county magistrate was offended, the position of the chief of the security would be useless.
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "It was this friend Wu who did it first, and Li Jing was just out of self-defense, so what's wrong?" ”
Li Jing heard that it was Meng Yi's voice, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at her.
"Friend Meng, how do you help outsiders talk?" Zhang Kang turned the folding fan in his hand horizontally, pointed at Meng Yi and asked.
"In my eyes, there is no distinction between inside and outside, there is only one word 'reason'." Meng Yi straightened her chest and said.
Seeing that the internal commotion was about to rise, Mr. Suiyuan suddenly coughed and said: "Everyone, be quiet, today is a day of poetry to meet friends, why quarrel over worldly things, in the opinion of the old man, it is better to let this Li Jing Xiaoyou compose a poem, make a compensation for everyone, and let him go." ”
Although many people clamored for Li Jing to be killed, since Mr. Suiyuan had spoken, he had to give the sect master in this poem a face.
Li Jing pursed his lips, and secretly scolded his mother's resignation in modern society, the boss will not pay wages at most, this damn evil old society, constantly does not give money, and forces you to write poems.
He didn't want to write, but when he got to this point, he would either completely break off with the ones in front of him, or he would get off the donkey down the slope and save a little face for the other party. Although, a few scholars and a few outdated old men, he didn't take it seriously, and if he offended, he was offended. However, if you can't stand the other party's second generation of officials, if you offend the second generation of officials without establishing your own power, it will be difficult to carry out the work in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, he was determined to recite a poem casually and leave, but he would not get many poems after the Song Dynasty, let alone after the Qing Dynasty.
The scholars waited for a while, and seeing that Li Jing was still frowning and silent, Wu Youwei, who had just been punched by Li Jing, sneered: "Poor sour, it shouldn't be that you can't write poetry." ”
He has grown so big, only he has scored other people's scores, and he has never been beaten by others. Li Jing's punch completely offended him, and he had already made up his mind that today's hatred must be repaid tenfold to the poor acid in front of him.
Li Jing saw the blazing hatred in his eyes, and his heart sank, and he secretly became vigilant, today he offended many powerful people in Donghu County, either intentionally or unintentionally. Now is not a legal society, and killing a person, especially a poor acid like Li Jing, is not a big deal at all.
"Since today is a meeting of friends with literature, then composing poems in the next is regarded as making amends."
Hearing Li Jing say this, all the scholars became interested, they all heard Li Jing's evil poem through Meng Yi, they wanted to see if he could make more evil poems. Even the people of Xiling Mountain, Wu Youwei and Zhang Kang, who had been watching Li Jing upset, pricked up their ears.
Li Jing cleared his throat, "The world of life is one leaf ping, and the three autumn grasses are famous." Autumn grass can be new for spring grass, and it is difficult to change the face for Zhu Yan. The (yellow) chrysanthemum in front of the fence has not bloomed, and the lonely bottle is cold. The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad! ”
This poem was originally written by the Qing Dynasty poet Tao Zongliang "Autumn Twilight Sending Huai", Li Jing only read the first half of the poem, as for the second half of the poem he has long forgotten. This half of the poem is because when the revolutionary martyr Qiu Jin was dying, he wrote the seven characters of 'Autumn Wind, Autumn Rain and Autumn Evil People', which impressed him deeply, so he barely remembered the first half of the poem.
"Good poetry!" Meng Yi clapped his hands and shouted, "Brother Li is talented! ”
Although the scholars despised Li Jing's character very much, the poem he composed was indeed a good sentence to express the mood of autumn. Especially the last sentence, which is really evocative.
Some people heard Meng Yi's applause and praised it.
Zhang Shaoan's face softened slightly, if he was really talented in ancient times, he could be forgiven for being willful. He asked the subordinates on the side to bring up a ten taels of silver and hand it to Li Jing.
Li Jing was not polite, took the silver and stuffed it into his arms, and then made amends to everyone.
Zhang Shao'an nodded, and at this time, the people of Xiling Mountain suddenly said to Li Jing: "You are indeed very talented, but you are too arrogant, and these talents are used on the crooked road." I hope you will pay more attention to the scriptures and righteousness in the future, and gain fame as soon as possible! ”
Li Jing smiled secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu has everything, but he has no talent. His face pretended to be listening to the teachings, "The old gentleman's teachings, Li Jing keeps them in mind." ”
When the people of Xiling Mountain saw Li Jing, who was still so arrogant just now, they seemed to be very humble to listen to his teachings, and they felt that there was light on their faces, and they smiled, "Although you are stubborn, you are not stupid and unteachable." The old man's family lives in Xiling's 'Xianye Villa', and he has time to sit at the old man's house. ”
Li Jing arched his hand, "Thank you seniors for raising me, and I will visit you another day." ”
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to say goodbye, when Zhang Kang suddenly said to Meng Yi: "Friend Meng, aren't you this Li Jing who has the style of a famous man in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but seeing the performance of the former and the latter just now, what is the person who is not greedy for fame and profit!" ”
This seems to be said to Meng Yi, but in fact, he wants to tell everyone present that Li Jing is just fighting for attention with arrogance and taking the opportunity to make a reputation. After his reputation was violated, he pretended to be awakened and repented by his predecessors, achieved a good story, and gained a great reputation in Shilin.
is equivalent to the current celebrity hype, first all kinds of tearing wars, and after the click-through rate is violated, one person will jump out and say that all this is a misunderstanding, and we still have to be friends.
In fact, he completely misunderstood Li Jing, Li Jing just wanted to make some money to be a security chief, as for his reputation in Shilin, he, a guy who couldn't even count half a bottle, never thought about it.
The meaning of Zhang Kang's words is very obvious, Li Jingche smiled, he showed his face today, but his mother's own family affairs are known, not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics, he can't even memorize the Three Character Sutra, and someone will definitely come to the door to discuss knowledge with him in the future, spelling poems and pairs. When the time comes, it will be impossible not to show the stuffing. So he had to find a reason to refuse to be discussed with him, but he didn't expect someone to send a reason to the door at this time.
I saw him pretending to be sad and angry, looking up to the sky and letting out a long roar, so shocked that the guards in Zhang's house ran over, the first one was the king steward, he saw that Li Jing was here again, and scolded in his heart, where something happened, this little bastard, could it be that this little bastard is dedicated to Lao Tzu!
"Since this friend sees me like this, then I, Li Jing, make a heavy oath to you here, I, Li Jing, will never set foot in the imperial examination within ten years, and will no longer write any articles and poems, if I violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
Everyone was shocked, even Zhang Kang was stunned. You must know that in ancient times, there was no scholar who did not aspire to gain fame and return to his hometown, and there were even old people who insisted on it when they were 100 years old.
Li Jing is famous at this time, and there are so many seniors who appreciate it, just when he is angry. Next year, it will be a sure thing to take the test for a show, but I didn't expect him to make such a heavy oath, and everyone couldn't help but drop their jaws.
