Hongyun Inn is not big, there are only three courtyards, in the countless inns in Beijing, at most can only be next to the medium-sized side, but because of the proximity to Shangshu Province, the business is good, especially on the occasion of the big competition every three years, it is a surplus of customers, generally all over the country to Beijing to test the scholars, it can really be said that the courtyard is full of books, there is a "talk and laugh with Confucianism, there is no white ding" grand occasion, if you come here before the examination, you must be able to hear the sound of reading one after another, contrasting with each other, but now it is just when the exam has been completed and the list has not been released, Almost all the scholars took the opportunity to travel, or to visit relatives and friends, or to walk under the doors of the powerful, or to go out of the city to go out of the spring, and so on, it is rare to have those left behind, perhaps the old scholar in the fourth room is the only exception.

The age of the old scholar is indeed not young, the temples are mottled, the beard is half white, the face is dark and haggard, obviously a person with bad luck, in fact, it is true, this person is famous for his poetry Luo Bingwang - Luo Bin Wang, the word sightseeing, Wuzhou Yiwu people (now Yiwu, Zhejiang, China), since childhood has been known as a prodigy, at the age of twenty-two, he participated in the Beijing Division competition as a township tribute, but unfortunately the name fell to Sun Shan, at the age of twenty-five, he made a comeback, but he still failed to make the list, at the time of all thoughts, The eldest grandson of the left servant at the time was appreciated by Wuji, and was able to enter his staff as a subordinate official, after a short time, he was framed because of his upright nature offended the villain, and the official position was dismissed, and on the way back to his hometown, he was invited by Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism, and was an official in the Taoist palace for three years. In addition, the old mother was old and sick, and she was in urgent need of money, so she had no choice but to write a letter to ask her former friend Liu Xiangdao to recommend him to participate in the imperial examination.

Bad luck, poor official luck, poor life, empty ambitions but nowhere to show, this forest of all kinds of suffering is really very bearable, not to mention like Luo Bing Wang and other well-educated people, but the years of suffering have not changed Luo Bing Wang's upright temperament, even if this time in order to raise money to help his mother treat the disease, Luo Bing Wang had to ask for help from Liu Xiangdao, who was already a high-ranking official, but once he really got the qualifications of Dabi, Luo Bing Wang still disdained to run to the door of the powerful, and even did not move the idea of visiting Liu Xiangdao, I'd rather sit and wait for the list to be announced, which is of course due to his high personality, in fact, it's more because of the shyness in his pocket, at this time, Luo Bingwang didn't want to go to the door of the powerful, but he couldn't go out to ask for the carriage, so he could only shrink in the inn and pass the time with poetry.

"I was stunned to hold Chu and stumbled on the Taiguan. The dry scales are frightened, and the falling feathers are timid......"

Luo Bingwang's poems are undoubtedly good, but they are affected by the state of mind, and they can't help but be a little depressed, and under this shallow chanting and low singing, there is a sense of desolation, but he himself doesn't care, blindly silent in the artistic conception, and vaguely seems to see the pathos of leaving Beijing again.

"Is Mr. Luo there?"

Just when Luo Bingwang was reminiscing about the past, there was a knock on the door, and then there was a question, the voice Luo Bingwang was very familiar, except for the big voice of the shopkeeper, there was no one else.

"Wait."

As soon as he heard that the shopkeeper was calling the door, Luo Bingwang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, not because the poetry was interrupted, but because he was shy in his pocket, and he had been in arrears for several days.

"Mr. Luo, you are really here, I just said, Mr. is a diligent person, he must be working hard again." As soon as the door opened, before Luo Bingwang could say anything, the shopkeeper was already giggling.

"Little second brother, please ask the little second brother to give a few days of grace for the room fee, and when the list is released, Luo will definitely accept it."

Luo Bingwang was afraid that he would not be able to look at each other when the shopkeeper made a statement, so he hurriedly opened his mouth first, and explained with an apologetic face.

"Alas, what is Mr. Luo talking about, the little one is not here to urge the house money, yes, patronizing the chatter, forgetting the business, hehe, Mr. Luo, there is a son who wants to see you."

The shopkeeper is obviously a cheerful person, and when he heard Luo Bingwang say this, he immediately laughed, patted his thigh, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh?" Luo Bingwang came to Beijing for many days, but there were some old friends who came to invite, but Luo Bingwang was a high-minded person, and did not want to see people in a down-and-out body, so he pretended to resign in the name of Wen Shu to prepare for the exam, and only said that he would return to visit one by one after the list was released, and now the list has not yet been released, you old friends know their personalities, and they will not come to disturb at this time.

"Childe, this is the world-famous Mr. Luo, if Childe can get Mr. Luo's guidance, he will be successful in the future, hehe, yes, the little mouth is broken, don't disturb the two of you talking, please stop, the little one is busy."

The shopkeeper enthusiastically stepped to the side, introduced a pair of master and servant to King Luo Bin, and then said hello with a smile and went busily to himself.

"Student Wang Sanlang has met Mr. Luo." As soon as the shopkeeper left, a young man in Tsing Yi had already stepped forward, bowed to Luo Bingwang, and greeted him very politely.

"Don't dare, I don't know what ...... Childe is here"

Luo Bingwang is not good at interacting with people, at this time before the meeting, the young man looked extremely raw, not very old, but in his early tens, but his bearing is not small, but he does not dare to despise it, but Luo Bingwang does not want to talk to strangers more, so he hesitated to ask half a sentence, without the slightest intention of inviting the young man into the house to talk.

"The students have always been good at writing, but when I heard that Mr. Wen was here, I was overjoyed, and I came here with a cheeky face, and I was disturbed a lot."

Wang Sanlang is naturally not Wang Sanlang, but Li Xian, the king of Zhou who paid a private visit to Weifu, came to Hongyun Inn this time, and came to visit King Luo Bin - Li Xian had some contacts with King Luo Bin in his previous life, but he was not a deep friend, but he greatly admired King Luo Bin's talent and uprightness, and when King Luo Bin was imprisoned because of the party structure, Li Xian also ran for it, and even as soon as he became the prince, he went to Gaozong, specifically to exonerate him, not only because he cherished King Luo Bin's talent, but also because he was not afraid of the powerful. Of course, Li Xian, the misfortune of King Luo Bin's life, also knows it, and he was powerless in his previous life, but since he was reborn in this life, Li Xian wanted to try it, whether he could pull him into his camp and save his faltered life by the way.

"Childe is polite, Luo is just a waste of fame, it's not worth mentioning."

King Luo Bin was poor at this time, and he didn't want to meet guests in this capacity, so he took Li Xian's kind words as the wind in his ears, smiled slightly, and replied casually, but the person was still standing at the door of the room and not moving, and the posture was already clear about the intention of chasing customers.

Luo Bingwang's indifferent eviction of customers may be effective for others, but if some people who cherish their cheeks see this, they will consciously leave and leave, and they can be used to deal with Li Xian, then it is useless, not to mention anything else, just be cheeky, Li Xian has cultivated like an iron wall in the officialdom of later generations, not to mention a few words that are not salty or light, even if you use an awl to stab, I am afraid that I may not be able to leave any marks.

"Otherwise, Mr. Luo is too modest, your poems are famous all over the world, and it is natural to want to see the name of the young history, and I have admired Mr. since childhood, but if I can get Mr. Xin's work, students must always read it repeatedly until they can memorize it, and every time I understand the charm of it, it has benefited the students a lot, and now I can see Mr. in person, and the students can't help but be happy."

Li Xian's ability may not be very clever, but his eloquence is a first-class stick, seeing people and talking about people, and the ability to talk about ghosts and ghosts is only afraid that it is ranked first in the world, maybe among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, only Li Yifu can compete with Li Xian, at this time, Luo Bin Wang came, it was one set after another, even if Luo Bin King was high, he was held vigorously by Li Xian, a little kid, and he was really dizzy for a while, and his indifferent face was suddenly greatly relieved.

"The son has an overreputation, Luo really doesn't dare to be it." Although Luo Binwang's face was a little pale, he still didn't mean to invite Li Xian in, he just smiled slightly and returned the courtesy.

Uh-huh, there's a door, come again! Li Xian saw that Luo Bingwang's face had eased slightly, and he was quite proud, and immediately continued while the iron was hot: "What the student said is true, and there is no lie, Mr. Seven years old "Song of the Goose", eighteen works "Seeking Chrysanthemum in the Rain", and then there are "On the Way to Huai", "Send Fei Six to Shu", "Autumn Send Hou Side Bullet Words" and many other famous articles, students are familiar with the details, every time as Guigao, but also pay for learning and learning, get a number of poems, self-knowledge and shallow, far less than Mr. in case, if you can get Mr. axe, it is a great luck for students. I hope that Mr. will not hesitate to teach, and the students will be polite. ”

As the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention Li Xian's words, almost every sentence scratched the itch of King Luo Bin, so that King Luo Bin could no longer refuse Li Xian outside the door, even if he didn't want to meet guests as a poor person, at this time, there was no reason to refuse Li Xian, after a little silence, he gave way to the side, and made a gesture of "please": "Childe is serious, don't dare to teach, but it's okay to communicate, Childe please come in." ”

Haha, it's done! Hearing King Luo Bin's invitation, Li Xian was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was respectful, and he saluted again: "Sir, please." ”

"Hmm." Luo Bingwang didn't be polite this time, turned around and walked into the room first, while Li Xian whispered a few words to Gao Miao, who followed him, before calmly entering Luo Bingwang's room......
