Lonely Mountain Temple north Jia Ting West, the water surface is flat at the bottom of the clouds.

Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck the spring mud.

The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe.

The favorite lake is not enough to go east, and the white sand embankment is in the shade of green poplars.

On March 3, visit the West Lake.

Xu Xian stood on the broken bridge of the West Lake, shaking his head and reciting Bai Juyi's Tang poem "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake" (Qiantang Lake is West Lake), and shouted with great anticipation: My White Lady, I am here, I am here......

"This son, the little woman is polite."

As a soft and melodious voice sounded, Xu Xian's nose smelled a faint fragrance of virginity.

My White Lady has appeared?! It is worthy of my white lady, this body fragrance is charming!

Xu Xian was ecstatic in his heart, but he tried to stay calm and calmly turned around, and saw a beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous white dress with an elegant temperament bending her knees to him, and a pretty maid stood behind the girl.

"Hello young lady." He said with a salute in return.

After the beautiful girl finished her salute, she said with a smile: "The little girl suddenly heard the poem reciting by you, Childe, and thought that this poem was excellent, and she had never heard of it. So take the liberty of bothering and ask if this poem is written by Childe, or is it a new work by a famous artist? ”

"It's just a superficial limerick poem sent by Xiaosheng's presence, and it's not worth the praise of the young lady." Xu Xian said calmly.

Haha, anyway, there is no Bai Juyi Li Bai Dufu in this world, these poems are the first person I read out, of course they are mine!

When the beautiful girl heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a dreamy colorful look, and her beauty was unparalleled.

Xu Xian's heart and liver were beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

My mother, worthy of being my white lady!

Beautiful, so beautiful!

Being stared at by Xu Xian, a blush appeared on the beautiful girl's beautiful face, and Zhen lowered her head slightly to avoid Xu Xian's gaze, and then said politely: "The son is talented, the little woman admires." I don't know the name of the childe? Which well-known talent in Lin'an Mansion is it? ”

"I'm ashamed. Xiaosheng's surname is Xu, the name is immortal, the word is Chinese, and he is just a nobody. Xu Xian retracted his gaze and bowed, "I don't know Miss's name?" ”

The beautiful girl smiled shyly, her head drooped slightly, and her delicate body slightly moved aside a little.

"My grandfather's surname is Tang." At this time, the pretty maid standing behind stepped forward and replied on behalf of her young lady.

"Ahh Xu Xian couldn't help but exclaim, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he blurted out and asked, "You don't have the surname Bai?" ”

"You are so rude! Why does my young lady have the surname Bai? The pretty maid glared at the apricot eyes and scolded.

"Xiao Fall, don't be rude!" The beautiful girl scolds the pretty maid.

The pretty maid was unconvinced and said, "Miss, it's obvious that he is rude." Miss, let's go, and don't talk to this kind of person who seems to be extremely rude. ”

The beautiful girl glared at the pretty maid slightly, and the pretty maid suddenly closed her mouth, lowered her beautiful little head, and said admittedly: "I'm sorry, miss, the slave is wrong." ”

The beautiful girl didn't continue to reprimand, she turned around and said to Xu Xian apologetically: "My maid is usually negligent in discipline, which makes Xu Gongzi smile." The little woman is not accompanying you on her behalf. ”

As she spoke, she squatted slightly and saluted Xu Xian.

"No, no, it's me who rudely offended you, Miss Tang." Xu Xian hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted.

After the salute, the beautiful girl Tang Wanrong said apologetically: "The little girl is still a little urgent, so I won't disturb Xu Gongzi's Yaxing where you enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake." Leave. ”

At the end, he bowed again

"Farewell." Xu Xian learned that the other party was not the white lady he was waiting for, so he had no intention of keeping it, and immediately returned the salute.

After Tang Wanrong left the master and servant, Xu Xian walked around the West Lake for a long time, and then deliberately took a boat home.

However, there was no sudden rain, and there was no pair of beautiful maidens shouting on the shore for the boatman or something.

"Well, I must have come early. My White Lady may not come to me until next year. On the shore, Xu Xian shook his head and thought.

Suddenly, he thought of something very serious: Ah! Bai Suzhen is looking for the soul that saved her a thousand years ago, not this body. The original Xu Xian is already dead, and his soul is estimated to have been reincarnated in the underworld! Then, won't I be able to marry my white lady?

……

Entering the house, strictly speaking, it was his brother-in-law's house, Xu Xian almost bumped into his sister Li Xu.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" He saw that Li Xu's eyes were flushed and there were tear stains on his cheeks, and he asked hurriedly.

Li Xu snorted and cursed with grievances: "Yang Zhixian, your brother-in-law just ordered someone to beat more than a dozen big boards just because he did a trivial matter!" ”

Xu Xian noticed that Li Xu was holding a basin in his hand, the water of the basin was blood-colored, and there was a wet and wrung out towel on the edge of the basin.

"Brother-in-law, is he seriously injured?" He couldn't help but ask.

"I'm all in bed." Li Xu wiped his tears and said, and then continued to pour water with the basin.

Xu Xian immediately walked briskly towards his brother-in-law Li Gongfu's bedroom.

He has been an orphan since he was a child, and he was raised by his sister Li Xu and his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law Li Gongfu really didn't have anything to say to his brother-in-law. Xu Xian inherited the original memory, so he naturally cared about Li Gongfu.

When I entered the bedroom, I immediately heard Li Gongfu moaning and screaming in pain.

"Brother-in-law, how are you?" He walked quickly to the side of the bed and asked Li Gongfu, who was lying on the bed with his buttocks facing up.

Only then did Li Gongfu find Xu Xian coming in, stopped moaning, turned his head sideways and said to Xu Xian: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of flesh and skin, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones." Your sister has already helped me with gold sore medicine, and it will be fine in three or two days. ”

"I heard my sister say that because you didn't do a good job in a small matter, then Yang Zhixian actually ordered you to be beaten. You are a head catcher, he is actually ......, he is " Xu Xian said indignantly.

"What kind of head catcher is not head-catching, it's just better than ordinary handyman." Li Gongfu interrupted Xu Xian's words and said, "People are high-ranking lords, how can love to rectify your brother-in-law?" We can only endure it. ”

Xu Xian said unconvinced: "But ......"

In his opinion, Li Gongfu and that Yang Zhixian are both working in the yamen, and there is no absolute equality between colleagues, but at least they will not order people to be beaten at will.

It's a pity that in Li Gongfu's eyes, it is a strict level that cannot be challenged.

"Nothing!" Li Gongfu said, "Unless you are a reading seed, you are admitted to Xiucai, and you are a middle-ranking person, and Yang Zhixian looks at your face, he will not rectify me casually." ”

"Unfortunately, that can't be." Li Gongfu sighed again.

His brother-in-law has been working as an apprentice in Qingyutang, and he will be a doctor at most in the future, so he has no intention of taking the road of official career, so he can't count on Xu Xian to be his backer in the future.

"Why can't it be?" Unexpectedly, Xu Xian immediately shouted loudly, "I have decided, I will no longer go to Qingyutang to be an apprentice, I will take the test to be promoted!" ”

When he was reborn, he inexplicably had a library in his mind that collected ancient Chinese poems and poems. With such a valuable treasure, it is really blind not to take the road of the imperial examination.

Therefore, since his rebirth, he has been thinking about how to propose the imperial examination to his sister and brother-in-law.

It's just that it costs a lot of money to study, how many families are broken in order to provide for a scholar, and how many families dare to provide for a scholar with the strength of the whole family.

He has always been dependent on his brother-in-law to grow up, and it is already very good for his brother-in-law to watch his sister take care of him as he grows up, and it is too much to ask him to study and test his fame.

"Okay, Hanwen, it's rare that you have ambition, and tomorrow my brother-in-law will send you to Muyang Academy to study." Li Gongfu was impulsive and couldn't help blurting out, "Mr. Zhang Jingming in Muyang Academy is a famous teacher of a generation, and there are three jinshi under his door, eleven lifters, and countless talents. If you can get Mr. Zhang Jingming's blue eyes, you can expect to be famous! ”

Xu Xian was overjoyed, and was about to bow and thank Li Gongfu when Li Gongfu suddenly sighed in frustration.

"It's a pity, you're seventeen years old, and it's too late to study at this time." Li Gongfu Xiao Ropeway.

Xu Xian's first reaction was to move out of the inspirational story of Su Xun's twenty-seven-year-old school, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he had to swallow it back, there are no Tang and Song Dynasty masters and three Su Jia stories in this world.

However, he was really unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.

His mind was racing, and he quickly thought of a solution, and then said: "Brother-in-law, I went to visit the West Lake today, and suddenly I was inspired and thought of a poem, I'll read it to you, okay?" ”

"Haha, our family can compose poems in Chinese. Okay, you read it. Li Gongfu couldn't help laughing, and he didn't think so.

Xu Xian immediately seized the opportunity to read Bai Juyi's "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake".

The biggest feature of Bai Juyi's poems is that they are plain and easy to understand, and the pursuit is that even the woodcutters in the mountains can understand it.

Although Li Gongfu is a rough man, he works in the yamen anyway, and he has heard some poems, so he basically understands this poem and thinks it is good.

However, then he thought that this poem was made by Xu Xian, and immediately felt that it was too straightforward, not a good poem, at most the rhyme was okay.

However, he thought that his brother-in-law had never really studied, and had been an apprentice in Qingyutang, and it was commendable that he could make a neat limerick poem.

So, he smiled encouragingly: "Good poetry, not bad." I didn't expect you to have a talent for poetry in Chinese. ”

At this moment, Li Xu returned to the room, heard some of their conversations, and couldn't help asking, "What Chinese has a poetic talent?" ”

"That's right, just now Hanwen read a poem he wrote in the West Lake, and I think it's very good." Li Gongfu said.

Xu Xian himself was very confident in Bai Juyi's poems, and when he heard Li Gongfu praise him like this, he thought that Li Gongfu really thought that the poem "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake" was very good, and suddenly gave him the courage to say to Li Xu: "Sister, I want to study and test my fame." ”

"What?" Li Xu was obviously stunned, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly.

"I want to study and make a name for myself." Xu Xian repeated the authentic language.

Li Xu's face suddenly changed, and he picked up a broom from the side and hit Xu Xian with his head and face.

She scolded while beating: "Okay, you Xu Xian, your brother-in-law is not satisfied after working hard to pull you up, and he dares to want to study, and he is not greedy enough." Do you know how much silver taels you need to read? Do you know how expensive pen, ink and paper are? ”

"Even if your brother-in-law does his best to provide you with education, you will definitely be able to read famously? You went to study, what should I do over there in Qingyutang? When the time comes, you won't be able to study, and you'll lose your medical studies, how will you make a living in the future? How do you marry a wife and have children? How to continue the incense for the Xu family? Do you want your brother-in-law to support you for the rest of your life? ……”

Li Xu scolded Xu Xian while scolding, and he couldn't help crying "whining" while scolding, throwing away the broom and squatting on the ground to cry bitterly, very sad.

Xu Xian saw Li Xu crying, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly squatted down to comfort her, promising that he would never dare to be delusional in the future.

Seeing this, Li Gongfu was very upset, and comforted and exclaimed on the bed: "Mother-in-law, don't blame Hanwen too much." He is still young, and it is normal to have the idea of getting ahead. The poem he wrote is very good, and I will take it to Li Yuanli Xiucai for tasting another day. ”

Walking out of the room, Xu Xian looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and sighed.

According to this situation, he will not be able to study and participate in the imperial examination in the short term, at least until he can live independently from Li Gongfu and have a certain economic foundation before he can study. It is estimated that it will have to wait at least four or five years.

He didn't complain about Li Xu, Li Xu had a deep affection for his younger brother, and he knew that he had asked Li Gongfu to provide him with education.

He entered his room and casually picked up the "Emperor's Inner Canon" placed on the pillow and looked through it.

However, after looking at it for a while, he threw it down impatiently, he really had no interest in medicine.

"Now that I am an apprentice in Qingyutang and have begun to get paid, can I consider leaving my brother-in-law's house and rehabilitating independently?" "It's hard to be independent, but it also means that I can do a lot of things freely. Although I can't open a medical clinic to make a living, with my 21st century knowledge, as long as I have the right idea, it shouldn't be difficult to make a fortune. ”

As he thought about it, he felt more and more that he should have become independent earlier.

However, it cannot be raised for the time being in the near future, lest Li Gongfu and his wife misunderstand, and they will have to wait for another month or so.
