Qiu Xin got Situ Xi's instructions, so he took a guqin treasured by King Xin's mansion and carefully placed it in front of Yingxian. The body of the piano is spiritual, the shape is thick and graceful, the lacquer color is ancient, and the sun shines with fantastic brilliance. The strings were plucked, and suddenly the English voice was cold, and a wisp of loose and clear sound disappeared with the breeze. I know that it is the best Yaoqin. With a wave of his hand, "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" slowly flowed out from between his fingers. The piece is played in an overtone technique on different signs, and is repeated three times. The tone is quaint and deep, and Bi shows the noble temperament of Hanmei. At this time, it is more suitable for the beautiful scenery of this winter garden. The heaven and earth are clear and clear, and the faint fragrance of plum lingers around, as if it is in harmony with the piano music. The listener's face was full of intoxication.

Yingxian played the piano while peeking at Shao Xinzhou. I saw him standing under a plum tree with a straight and thin body, his expression was solemn, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, he was painstakingly conceiving, and he was still muttering something in his mouth. As the music progressed, a smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth, spreading like ripples, and finally soaked the whole face. The eyes gazing at the plum blossoms are also getting brighter. When the third lane was nearing its end, he walked briskly back to the stone table, grabbed the brush, dipped it in ink, and bowed his body to write. His wrist hangs above the plain paper, and the pen tube keeps moving, and the article is completed in one go, without hindrance.

A cold wind blew across Yingxian's face. She was smart, and when she looked up again, Shao Xinzhou's figure became blurred, leaving only a faint silhouette that could not be seen clearly. And at that moment, the events of the last month flashed through my mind. Yingxian continued to play the piano quietly, but pictures quietly emerged in memories and the sound of the piano.

She remembers that one morning in November, she was sitting bored by the Huanying Pond, watching the remnants of the reeds by the pond swaying with the cold wind, and she felt very melancholy. I didn't want Situ Xi to come to the princess's mansion. Don't look for others, only look for yourself, and say that you have something to ask for. changed into men's clothes according to his words, pretended to be a scholar and walked to Guocheng with Situ Xi.

Yingxian asked, "Who are we looking for?" Situ Xi said: "In the list left by Ling Huang, there is a scribe named Shao Xinzhou, who is talented, but he has not been able to enter the ranks, and he is still living among the people. That's why I want to recruit him into the house. ”

"Oh. Since this person is so talented, why didn't he get in? ”

Situ Xi said regretfully: "This matter is a long story. When he entered Beijing to participate in the examination as the first place in the township examination, he was famous, but unfortunately he made friends carelessly, and with bad luck, he met the chief examiner of the year Liu Zhongti...... "A long sigh told the old story.

*****

It was the second half of the first month of the twelfth year of Yongrui, and the spring was cold, and the 20-year-old Shao Xinzhou left his hometown to participate in the triennial examination in Xijian. When he was young, he was famous in the township for his literary talent, and he won the "Xie Yuan" in the township examination last year. The locals all believe that he has a bright future, and sooner or later he will soar, and it is inevitable that some fellow villagers will come to get close to him, wanting to get a little luck. One of them, Lu Yang, is the son of a local tycoon. The exam results are not good, but he is full of shrewdness of businessmen. After barely winning the move, he took the initiative to come to show his goodwill, saying that he was willing to go to Beijing with Brother Shao, and patted his chest and said that all kinds of expenses on the way were covered by himself. Although Shao Xinzhou has always looked down on such a plaster child, his family is poor, and he is already stretched thin when he goes to the exam, and now that such a noble person is sent to the door, why should he refuse? The two walked together, inseparable; One is talented and the other is wealthy, and he has become the "Shao Lu combination" of fame. Along the way, Lu Yang spent a lot of money and pulled Shao Xinzhou to enjoy it in a different way. After arriving in Xijian, he lived in the most luxurious "champion store" in the capital. However, unlike Shao Xinzhou, who prepares hard in the house every day, Lu Yang walks around the city, visiting and giving gifts everywhere, and entering and leaving wealthy mansions. Among them was Liu Zhongti, who was the chief examiner of the later examination and was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion.

That day, Lu Yang came back from Liu Zhongti's house, found Shao Xinzhou, drank three glasses of wine, and said confidently that you and I must be in high school. Shao Xinzhou asked the reason, but Lu Yang smiled and did not answer, only saying that the examiner of this examination was Liu Zhongti, so he and Shao Xinzhou were both protégés of Lord Liu after winning the gongshi. There are some things that you can't avoid before and after the exam. "What are you going to do?" Shao Xinzhou looked at Lu Yang extremely confused, almost didn't let Lu Yang squirt out a sip of wine, coughed a few times and said, "Brother Shao, how can you say hello!" Forget it, when you are in high school, come with me to visit Master Liu Zhongti. Lord Liu is an out-and-out scholar, and he will definitely appreciate you very much. ”

Unexpectedly, Shao Xinzhou sneered: "If it is my ability to pass the exam, why do I have to visit him?" Liu Zhongti Xu is a well-educated person, but he has a charming bone. Brother Lu probably hasn't read the collection of poems engraved by himself, there are twenty-eight poems, and I don't think there is a single one that is not a tribute to the Son of Heaven. The meaning is simple and vulgar, but it is still widely circulated in the capital, and no one comes out to say a fair word. I can't afford to be appreciated by someone like that. ”

This time it was Lu Yang's turn to be stunned, as if he had seen a monster popping out of nowhere, his eyes were wide and round, and it took a long time to breathe down, and he muttered: "Brother, although you are talented, but in some things that everyone understands, you are too confused." You...... Do it yourself. With that, he shook his head and left.

is also considered Shao Xinzhou's mildew star, but the last part of the conversation between the two was overheard by Shi Yan, a candidate who happened to pass by the window. That Shi Yan was also a talented man, and after staying in the hotel, he heard that Shao Xinzhou was famous and came to ask for advice, but he didn't speculate, and was sarcastically said a few words by Shao Xinzhou, and returned in shame. Shi Yan has always held a grudge. This time, when he heard that Shao Xinzhou secretly spoke disrespectfully to the examiner, he hurriedly asked someone to anonymously report it to Liu Zhongti. On the night of the denunciation, he specially visited Shao Xinzhou's room and pretended to bless a few words, but Shao Xinzhou did not notice it.

The ninth day of February is the first day of the examination. Shao Xinzhou got up late that day, and he didn't care about freshening up, so he went to the Gongyuan alone with a stubbled beard to prepare for the entrance examination. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, he was about to show the certificate, but was stopped by Qi Yongnian, a search officer who examined the identity of the candidates. He carefully compared the descriptions on the roster, waved his hand, and said, "You are not candidate Shao Xinzhou. Not allowed in. ”

Shao Xinzhou was stunned: "Why am I not Shao Xinzhou?" ”

Qi Yongnian pointed to the roster and said: "It reads, 'Shao Xinzhou, twenty years old, tall and thin, with a white face and a slight beard'." If you see it, it's a 'microwhisker'. Don't you remember that Zhu Zi once annotated 'micro, nothing' in the "Commentary on the Analects"? Look at your virtue, go back and look in the mirror. ”

Shao Xinzhou knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult, and laughed: "The adults only know one thing, but they don't know the other." Zi said: 'Guan Zhong Xianghuan Gong, tyranny princes, one Kuang world, the people have received it now. Microtubule Zhong, I was sent to the left. Regarding this sentence, in fact, He Yan in the Cao Wei period had already quoted the annotation of the Eastern Han Dynasty scholar Ma Rong in the "Commentary on the Analects": "Ma said: micro, nothing. If there is no Zhong, then the king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister, all of them are Yidi. So Zhu Zi is not the first person to bet 'micro, nothing'. ”

He recites fluently, attracting the attention of other candidates who are being examined. Seeing that Qi Yongnian was stunned on the spot, he asked again: "In addition, does the word 'micro' only mean 'nothing'?" Then I have to ask my lord, Mencius said in "Ten Thousand Chapters" that "Confucius was not pleased with Lu Wei, and was killed by Song Huan Sima, and passed through the Song Dynasty." What should we understand? Do you mean that Confucius, his old man, was naked and lived in the Song Dynasty? There is also "Han Feizi. The foreign prince said that the lower right said: 'Qi Huan Gong Weifu patrols the people's homes'. Could it be that Qi Huan Gong also has this hobby of exposing his body in front of people? ”

The surrounding candidates immediately burst into laughter when they heard this. Qi Yongnian was annoyed and angry: "What a frivolous boy with sharp teeth and sharp mouth." Hmph, if you weren't for Shao Xinzhou, it wouldn't be fine. If it's really Shao Xinzhou, this place can't be tarnished by you. He raised his voice and said: "The examiner said that Shao Xinzhou misbehaved, and he had behaved with his sister-in-law in his hometown, which was really immoral and insulting. From now on, his qualification for the examination will be cancelled and he will return to his hometown for self-examination. ”

There was an uproar. Shao Xinzhou seemed to be petrified, and it took a while to react. I still wanted to defend a few words, but I was blasted out by Qi Yongnian shouting and looking for someone. Lost his soul and returned to the hotel, he hid in the house and wept bitterly.

*****

The west wind was blowing, and the winter sun hung high in the air like a golden coin, emitting a gossamer-like light. Situ Xi said as he walked, it was close to noon. Yingxian asked, "Did Shao Xinzhou really have anything to do with his sister-in-law?" ”

"Hey, what's the trouble of adding sin? Shao Xinzhou just brought her tea and water and took care of her medicine when her brother was away and her sister-in-law was seriously ill. The elder brother didn't say anything after he came back, and Qi Yongnian didn't know where to find out the news, so he caught this point. ”

"That'...... And then? ”

Later, Shao Xinzhou failed to participate in the examination, and the so-called affair with his sister-in-law also spread all over the township. chewing his tongue a lot, his brother and sister-in-law feel that they can't see anyone, and they have more resentment towards this younger brother. Shao Xinzhou's parents died early, and seeing the attitude of his brother and sister-in-law, he left his hometown again, returned to Xijian, and stayed in the city. As for Liu Zhongti, who wanted to take revenge on him, three years later, he was reported by political enemies that he had leaked exam questions to Lu Yang, and there was a family servant who testified, and the two were removed from their posts and imprisoned. Because Shao Xinzhou was a friend of Lu Yang, it was inevitable that he would be suspected of conspiring to cheat, and the court would not allow him to participate in the examination that year before he was cleared of suspicion. Lu Yang had a conscience and insisted that he did not disclose the exam questions to Shao Xinzhou. After the imperial court verified the truth, and after the examination period, it wanted to give Shao Xinzhou a chance to retake the exam. However, Shao Xinzhou refused this time, and swore that he would never take the exam again in his life.

After listening to Situ Xi's story, Yingxian sighed again: "Shao Xinzhou is really a bumpy fate. I don't know what he has been doing in Xijian City in the past few years? Also, why does His Highness know so much about him?"

Situ Xi said with a smile: "Since Ling Huang recommended this person, and this person has such an experience, I'm afraid he won't easily return to the palace with me, I must find a way to make friends with him first." So I went to his painting stall every once in a while to buy his danqing, and I was able to accurately say the meaning of the painting, and I was a good friend after a few times. He told me all these old stories. ”

Yingxian suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Highness has already prepared. Then presumably now to identify himself and invite him into the house? ”

Situ Xi nodded and said: "I cherish his talent, I can't bear to see him sell paintings and copy books in the market all his life." If you want to give him a chance, it depends on whether he cherishes it or not. ”

When Ying Xian heard this, he said, "I'm afraid Your Highness is wrong." This person is talented and learned, but he has been treated so unfairly, and he has been wandering alone for seven years, and his heart should have been cold, I am afraid that he has seen through the world. This visit is not for you to condescendingly give him a chance to see if he cherishes it, but whether His Highness can be polite to Corporal Xian and impress him with sincerity. ”

Situ Xi was stunned, starry eyes looked at Yingxian, and said with a smile: "Sister Yingxian reminded you that it is." Hehe, Wu Yiqing is really right. ”

Ying Xianqi said: "What did Lord Wu say?" ”

Situ Xi was slightly embarrassed, turned his head and said, "...... It's nothing. By the way, do you remember what I told you just now? ”

Yingxian said "um", and was still muttering in his heart: What did this Wu Yiqing say to King Xin? In a moment of confusion, the two of them had reached their destination. But it is a bungalow in Changfeng Lane in the south of the city, which is Shao Xinzhou's shelter in Xijian. The houses were dilapidated, and the thresholds were overgrown with weeds, like deserted houses that no one lived in. Situ Xi stopped in the distance, and Yingxian walked to the door by himself, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door.

However, after knocking several times, no one came to open the door.

Before October, we will send another point......
