Chapter 028: The Head of Modesty
The inscription is just a gesture, and Lu Cheng naturally will not refuse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Speaking of which, the guys in this inn are also respectful of themselves, and the shopkeeper is not bad, Lu Cheng still has a good impression of them, so he nodded and agreed.
The smile on the shopkeeper's face was even bigger, and after saying thank you, he ran out of the door to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Lu Cheng just waited for a while, and then he came back and stood aside to personally study the ink for Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng held the pen and asked, "Shopkeeper, what words do you think is good?" ”
The shopkeeper really didn't think about it for a while, and asked Lu Cheng to write something for himself, so he replied: "Lu Xianggong just needs to be casual, as long as it is the word you inscribe, it is good." ”
Lu Cheng shook his head with a smile and wrote the words "Penglai Inn" on rice paper. What he didn't know was that it was this random word he wrote down that changed the fate of the shopkeeper's life.
The shopkeeper carefully picked up this ink treasure, blew it lightly, thanked him again and again, and then called the man to put away Lu Cheng's inscription, and planned to go back and let people frame and engrave the plaque.
"Hey, look at my memory!"
As soon as the shopkeeper walked to the door, he turned around and said, "Lu Xianggong, two sons came to look for you today, and you happened to be absent, so they asked me to tell you that they would come to visit tomorrow." ”
"Oh?"
Lu Cheng frowned and asked, "Does the shopkeeper know who they are?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "They are all local children in Fucheng, one of them is Zuo Shunqi Zuo Gongzi, his brother-in-law is famous, he is the township test Xie Yuan of our Kaifeng Mansion, he was a jinshi in his early years, and now he is an official in the capital." This other person, named Li Lian, heard that he is a good learner. ”
Lu Cheng nodded lightly when he heard this, and the two children who had passed the government examination came to find him, thinking that they should have the intention to intersect with him, so that he could ask for some knowledge.
Although he has now won the first place in the hospital examination, Lu Cheng knows very well in his heart how many catties and taels he has. If you rely on your own talent alone, it may not be easy to get a show, let alone the first place in the college exam.
Therefore, he doesn't think too highly of himself, and there is no need to reject people thousands of miles away, so naturally he won't look down on others because the other party is just a child.
After the shopkeeper left, Lu Cheng recorded the names of these two people in his mind, and soon got a lot of information.
This Li Lian is indeed a little famous. Although the current family background is not very good, but in history, this person will be in Zhengde eight years of township examination in high school Xie Yuan, and then will be a jinshi, and then enter the court as an official, in medicine and poetry are quite attained, is a really talented person.
Zuo Shunqi, his name is Zuo Guoji, Shunqi is just his cousin. This person is not very outstanding.,I've only been admitted to the exam for a lifetime.,I like to make some amazing words on weekdays.,It should be a madman.。
However, he himself is not very famous, his brother-in-law Li Mengyang is very famous, known in history as the first seven sons of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is the head of the household department in the capital.
Lu Cheng felt that these had little to do with him, and he didn't think about making friends with any powerful people, so he didn't take this matter too seriously. If they come to me tomorrow, they will just be polite to each other.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Cheng got up early and practiced the five-bird play in the room, but he didn't want to make a big move, but he actually made a noise to the guests living in the downstairs room, only to hear a neutral voice shouting: "Who is this?" Can you stop making such a big movement and keep people from sleeping? ”
The little second brother replied downstairs: "Oh, I'm really sorry for the guest officer, Lu Xianggong lives upstairs, I'll go up and talk to him." ”
"Xianggong? Xianggong is amazing, isn't he just a poor talent? The man yelled in dissatisfaction, and then there was no sound.
Lu Cheng was a little depressed, the sound insulation effect of this wooden attic was really not very good.
The little second brother came up with a smile on his face, but prepared salt water for Lu Cheng to wash.
People in these years still brush their teeth, the price of a toothbrush is about the same as a candle, one costs ten cents, which is not too expensive, but for ordinary people, it is not too cheap.
After all, candles are also used all year round by people with conditions, and ordinary people usually light oil lamps.
Toothbrushes are usually made from bristles inserted into a bone handle, supplemented by salt water to clean the teeth. As for the wealthy, the toothbrush is more advanced, jade or ivory are available, and Poria cocos and other medicinal materials will be boiled into "ancient toothpaste" for use.
After Lu Cheng washed up, he ordered breakfast in the inn and waited for Li Lian and the others to come to the door while eating.
If the two of them didn't come in the morning, Lu Cheng wouldn't have been waiting in the inn, after all, he still had some things to do today.
Soon after breakfast, Li Lian and Zuo Guoji really came over.
These two people are not very old, they look like they are sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is indeed not easy to be admitted to the government examination.
Li Lian was very respectful to Lu Cheng, but Zuo Guoji was a little perfunctory, and Li Lian should have pulled him over. Lu Cheng doesn't care, who made the brother-in-law a jinshi and still an official in the court? For a talent like himself, he will naturally look down on it.
Only then did Lu Cheng know that what happened in the school yesterday had spread, and the poem he wrote had been recited in Shilin, and he had now become a celebrity in Kaifeng Mansion.
Li Lian also recently wrote a poem called "Rational Fu". He recited it on the spot, and asked Lu Cheng to help comment on one or two.
Speaking of which, although his poem is not bad, it is definitely inferior to the one written by Lu Cheng. After all, it is a truly famous poem in later generations, and the author is also a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Cheng doesn't know much about poetry, but it's okay to help people comment. It's just to criticize other people's works and offend people, he doesn't plan to do it, he just plans to praise the other party casually, and then expose the topic.
"Father Chuan's poem is really good, especially the sentence 'Walking across the bridge, Jun Mo Xiao, who is a Taiping person in a hundred years' is very well written, and it is far inferior to it. I believe that in time, I will be able to become a great Confucian in the world, hmm...... Yes, it's really good! ”
"Brother Lu is too modest."
Li Lian saw that the head of the case was so modest and polite, and he was even more convinced of him, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that people could take the first place in the Intermediate Court Examination, just this open-mindedness is worth learning by himself.
This time, even Zuo Guoji nodded secretly, impressed by Lu Cheng's attitude of treating each other equally.
In terms of identity alone, the two of them are just Confucian children who have just passed the government examination and failed the college examination, but Lu Cheng is a talented person with meritorious fame, and there is a difference in status.
Literati have been light on each other since ancient times.
Lu Cheng is the head of the case, but he can not look down on the two of them, and he can already make them feel good.
Subsequently, several people naturally discussed some knowledge, and it was not until noon that the two said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Zuo Guoji also invited Lu Cheng to come to his house as a guest when he had time.
Actually, Lu Cheng doesn't like to discuss anything very much, but now that his identity is like this, it is not easy to push it. In that case, it is easy to become a madman in the eyes of others, thinking that you are too arrogant and noble, and you will invisibly offend many people without knowing it.
After sending the two away, Lu Cheng hurried out of the house.
He didn't forget that he was going to invite Miss Zhang out for a drink today.
