Li Mi finally saw what it means to be a big show this time.

Under the auspices of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, with the strength of Yingtianfu as the mainstay, the local governments along the way have also increased their manpower, just to meet the triumphant class teacher, all kinds of honor guards and officials, etc., have been close to 2,000 people!

Two thousand people may not sound like much, but walking on the official road, the dust is flying, and the head is always shrouded in a cloud of dust, and the scene is spectacular.

Every day, whether it is a court member or a pawn, everyone is disgraced, and Li Mi finally understands what it means to be a servant of the wind and dust, and why the ancients like to hold a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Because the team is full of big officials, Li Mi has the opportunity to participate in it, and he is also in the capacity of a staff officer, not the chief arrester of Wu County, after all, the identity of this fast arrest is really not available.

Whether it is Zhang Sunsheng or Wang Hongzhi, they deliberately did not mention Li Mi's background as a fast catcher, and even did not let him wear a fast catcher uniform.

Of course, in terms of etiquette, Li Mi is not clear, and he is not involved, and the reason why Zhang Sunsheng and Wang Hongzhi and others summoned Li Mi is almost all to inquire about the legendary Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

It is impossible for Li Mi to tell the secret that Zhou Yu is Wang Zuo and is the secret of the Heroes Association, so he can only tell everyone what he has seen and heard, anyway, Suzhou Mansion has spread, and after they arrive in Suzhou Mansion, they must have heard about it, and if there is a discrepancy at that time, it is inevitable to blame Li Mi.

And the only thing that made Li Mi feel a little unhappy was that Wang Shizhen, a great Hongru, also came.

As a scholar-type official, Wang Shizhen is well-versed in the past and the present, and he also has a lot of research on etiquette, after all, he is an official in Nanjing, so he naturally has to contribute.

Moreover, he also served as Ying Tianfu Yin, and when he was in office, he gained a good reputation and reputation, and he had rich experience in government affairs, which was enough to give Zhang Sunsheng some valuable suggestions and opinions.

His prestige and status in the literary world are too high, and Wang Hongzhi and Zhang Sunsheng did not dare to snub this squire of the military department, because the court has already released a rumor that Wang Shizhen will soon be promoted as the secretary of the criminal department.

Li Mi was also really curious about why Wang Shizhen always looked at him unpleasantly, spoke coldly to him, and didn't even look at him.

After talking to Wang Hongzhi and Zhang Sunsheng on this day, when Wang Shizhen left, the three of them chatted, and Li Mi asked casually.

Wang Hongzhi also shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Li Mi: "Wang Yuanmei doesn't look down on you, but looks down on you." ”

Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

"Yuanmei was seriously ill two years ago, and her left eye is no longer visible, and now she is in her sixties, and there is only a trace of vision left in her right eye, which is blurry, and she can't see your ......"

Li Mi couldn't help but suddenly, no wonder Wang Shizhen was always accompanied by a little girl.

He thought that Wang Shizhen was a romantic gentleman, and he had to be supported by a little girl wherever he went, who knew that this little girl was actually to guide him blind!

Li Mi can be regarded as a delicate person, but even he, Li Mi, has never seen this, and this Wang Shizhen is also too well covered!

"If you're blind, why don't you retire?" Li Mi couldn't help but wonder.

Wang Hongzhi shook his head and said: "You don't know, Yuanmei has asked for beggar bones three or five times, but His Majesty doesn't allow it, and he can only spend it like this." ”

Li Mi was also a little desolate in his heart, thinking that such a weak old man was still in the officialdom and could not be raised, no wonder Wang Shizhen was resentful in his heart.

"Why do you hate me so much when you don't see me?" Li Mi never let go of this knot, after all, he thought he was respectful to Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen is not a person who protects his shortcomings, what kind of style Wang Shisu is, he knows it as a father, and it is unlikely that he will dislike Li Mi because of Wang Shisu.

Wang Hongzhi looked at Li Mi, thought about it, and finally explained to Li Mi.

"Although Yuanmei can't see you, he has heard of you, what he hates is not you, but the knife on your waist!"

"He had a holiday with General Qi?" Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Wang Shizhen's prejudice against himself to come from this Qi family knife!

You must know that this Qi family knife can always bring unexpected joy to Li Mi every time, whether it is the government and the opposition, whether it is an official or a general, or a hero of the green forest, but whenever he sees this knife, he always has a good impression and closeness to Li Mi.

Wang Hongzhi was obviously also ready to say it thoroughly, and said to Li Mi at this time.

"Yuan Mei and General Qi Jiguang not only have no grievances, but also have a good relationship, why come to celebrate the holiday, I am afraid that I am thinking about things, and I am already a candle in the wind, so I don't want to see you."

"A good story?"

"Exactly."

When Wang Hongzhi said this, he looked at Zhang Sunsheng and asked the latter: "At that time, Zhang Fu Yin was still in Yunnan, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Zhang Sunsheng smiled and said, "I've heard of it." ”

Zhang Sunsheng agreed with a smile, and then said to Li Mi.

"Legend has it that General Qi chased the thief to the South China Sea, saw the red light in the sky at night, from the waves, so that the good ones explored it, but it was an ancient iron anchor, weighing 200 catties, pure green and transparent, the general is known as the skill of dispersion, so the iron wire refining in Fujian, where more than 100 fires, with half of them for the knife eight, and re-refining its half of more than 100 fires, get three swords, all made cyan, rotten and shot eyes, one to self-admiration, one gave Wang Yuanmei."

"Yuanmei thanked me with ten quatrains, waved the pen, did not add points to the text, sang between the wines, said, this sword should be sonorous and I ......"

Li Mi didn't expect that there was such an allusion in this, one was a great hero among military generals, the other was a great writer among civil officials, and there was such a relationship.

General Qi Jiguang was desolate in his later years, and died depressed, Wang Shizhen was also disheartened when he thought about it, and he couldn't say anything after several begging, and he heard that Li Mi had a Qi family knife, and he knew the origin of this knife, so he inevitably had some nostalgic feelings, and naturally he didn't want to see Li Mi.

Li Mi's knife is Qi Yin's war knife, and General Qi Jiguang has refined eight treasure knives, this is one of the bull's heads, and the sword that Qi Jiguang gave to Wang Shizhen is the same root and origin, and it is also from Qi Jiguang's hand, so it is no wonder that Wang Shizhen is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, and is reluctant to approach Li Mi.

Xu Li Mi copied the poem in the concierge, which reminded Wang Shizhen that after he was drunk, he squandered ten unique gifts to heroes, and the past was swallowed up like a tide, and Li Mi left a bad impression on him.

Li Mi was still thinking about it, but Zhang Sunsheng had already chanted the classics in Wang Shizhen's ten quatrains.

"Temporarily take off the general's iron crotch, and the head box is dull. Ten years of chivalrous blood is still warm, and I don't try Yan Ran to top the frost. ”

Wang Hongzhi also complained, thought about it, and then picked up another song: "The eternal night is clear and the lead tears flow freely, and you will not take the title from the flying general." The origin of Longji Mountain is known, and he stepped on the twelfth floor of Yaojing. ”

Zhang Sunsheng was not to be outdone, and continued to read: "I once slashed the angry whale to the sea, and the wine was broken up and given to the scholar. Hibiscus is old and old, and things in the world are always calming down. ”

The two of them are back and forth, and they actually recited all the ten quatrains of Wang Shizhen back then, which shows that Wang Shizhen, a great writer, deserves his name, and he is a great Confucian like Wang Hongzhi, and he is familiar with Wang Shizhen's works!

Li Mi didn't quite understand the meaning of these poems, but he always felt that after listening to them, he couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

After leaving Zhang Sunsheng and Wang Hongzhi, he still came to Wang Shizhen's residence, hesitated for a while, and knocked lightly on the door.

The little girl who guided Wang Shizhen to the blind came to open the door, and Li Mi said to her: "Little sister, after a lot of trouble, I said that the villain Li Mi came to see Wang Sima." ”

The girl frowned, thinking that she didn't want anyone to disturb Wang Shizhen, and said to Li Mi: "My master is about to take a nap, you better go." ”

Li Mi also knew that he couldn't force it, so he said to the little girl: "Since that's the case, I don't dare to disturb it." ”

After Li Mi finished speaking, he clenched his fists a little and was about to leave, but Wang Shizhen's voice came from the room.

"Come in."

When the little girl heard this, she inevitably glared at Li Mi, thinking that she was also blaming Li Mi for having a lot of things to do, disturbing Wang Shizhen's rest.

Li Mi smiled apologetically at the little girl and walked into the room.

The window in this room is only half open, after all, the autumn breeze is up outside, and it is a little cool, Wang Shizhen is already an old man, and he can't stand the cold.

"You go out to prepare tea, and I'll sit with Mr. Li for a while." Wang Shizhen ordered so, and the little girl honestly withdrew.

Li Mi walked forward, Wang Shizhen was sitting on the edge of the desk, holding a pen and writing something, if it was usual, Li Mi would not dare to peep, but now he knew that Wang Shizhen had already been blind, so he dared to glance at it.

The paper is messy, and the handwriting can't be distinguished, just like Wang Shizhen's current state of mind.

Li Mi also inevitably sighed, like a great writer like him, he should have known his fate and happiness, but he was in a state of confusion, worried and hurried, and couldn't live for a long time.

Li Mi didn't have a good time to speak, so he just sat opposite and accompanied the old man.

Wang Shizhen gently put down the pen and looked at Li Mi, and at this time Li Mi found that there was a faint layer of white puff in his eyes, and he was really blind.

"You should know the rules, come to the old man's place, but you can bring poetry?" Wang Shizhen said this a little inexplicably.

Li Mi was slightly stunned, but he also smiled, because he knew that Wang Shizhen was ridiculing him for visiting.

So Li Mi replied: "I brought it." ”

Wang Shizhen also smiled slightly, Li Mi thought about it, and then chanted: "The boat is parked at the top of the Tiger Hill at night, and Qingfeng is separated from each other. There are three thousand swords in the tomb of King Wu, and the white tiger does not dare to swim today! ”

This poem is naturally not written by Li Mi himself, but recited by Wang Hongzhi and Zhang Sunsheng, and it is also the favorite of Li Mi's ten quatrains.

Wang Shizhen heard this poem, just shook his head and sighed lightly, as if he thought of a stupid thing he did when he was young, at this moment, his smile was so indifferent and relaxed, as if he had taken off all his disguises and defenses, at this moment, he was finally an old man, and he was just an old man waiting for death, not an official who begged for bones but couldn't, let alone a world-famous writer.

He smiled freely, as if his soul had never been so free, and then said to Li Mi: "You wrote it?" ”

Li Mi laughed: "I also copied it." ”

Wang Shizhen also smiled.
