Shen Ruoyu saw that all the customers in the store had run away, and only this person was still there, so he had already paid attention to him, and he paid more attention to him at this moment. He was a little secretly puzzled, this person's appearance was somewhat familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it. But obviously, there is not an ordinary scholar in front of him, nor is he just a showman, between his expression and conversation, he is an extreme grace and elegance, revealing this person's strong self-confidence and loftiness, as well as enough talent to make him so confident and lofty. Such a person, although he feels that he is not as deep and humble as Fang Xiaoru, he seems to be a level higher than Fang Xiaoru, and it is obviously not something that a little Xie Yuan can eat. He felt that this person was good enough to join Hanlin.

As a result, he seemed to feel that he seemed to have seen him in Wenyuan Pavilion before.

Before he could speak, Jing Yuluo said angrily:

"The three of us are good brothers, learning martial arts from each other, where do we get any resentment. You're an outsider, messing around with something. ”

The man laughed, "How so? Didn't Your Excellency ask Lord Shen clearly every word just now, why did you betray King Yan? Such a serious problem immediately leads to a martial arts fight, no matter what, it won't be as simple as learning martial arts, right? ”

Jing Yuluo said impatiently: "You are so uninteresting, what does our business have to do with you?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Sir, don't be weird; People who practice martial arts often don't know each other if they don't fight. It's just the scene of smashing the store, and I really shouldn't have it, I hope it didn't frighten Mr. ”

The man looked at Shen Ruoyu and said with a smile: "Lord Shen is really a hero and a young man, no wonder he can be so appreciated by the Son of Heaven in a short period of time." Why did the adult leave King Yan, and he was also very confused, and wanted to ask the adult to give a clear explanation. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled and said, "The monarch and the ministers are righteous, what other explanations are needed." ”

"Righteousness of the monarch and ministers?" The man asked, "But don't the people around King Yan regard King Yan and himself as kings and ministers in the true sense?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Mr. has something to say. ”

"Lord Shen understands what I mean."

Shen Ruoyu was a little helpless, shook his head lightly, and said with a shallow smile:

"When the jade is burned for three days, the material must wait for seven years. Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. ”

The man smiled gracefully and said, "Hasn't His Royal Highness King Yan always insisted that he wants to follow the example of Duke Zhou and become the king." I don't know where Lord Shen hid the next piece of music? ”

Shen Ruoxiao was slightly stunned. "Why did you say that, sir?"

The man said: "If Your Majesty sees it, how can it sink into the sea without any response?" Not only that, but King Yan remembered that it was impossible to succeed in his strategy. However, he was clever and clever, and placed Shen guards beside the Son of Heaven. ”

Among the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, it seems that they have never seen a second person so arrogant and confident. Shen Ruoyu asked:

"Dare to ask sir, what is your surname? What's going on in your movements? ”

The man smiled and said, "Lord Shen is really good at disguise." Since King Yan has already raised troops, the top priority is how to select generals to send troops to the north, and the chapter of cutting the feudal domain under Xia will be useless, and there is no point in pursuing it again. The three of them smashed the business of this small teahouse just now, and they dared to ask Lord Shen to make up for it a little and write a word. With the calligraphy of adults, it should be able to at least bring back the guests who were scared away today for this small teahouse. I don't know what adults think? ”

Shen Ruoyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this:

"Calligraphy? But...... If it's swordsmanship, maybe it's reasonable......"

The man looked at him with a smile on his head, his eyes marked with innocence and contempt. He politely said:

"The master's pen and sword are connected to the heart, and the qi and veins are connected. Wang Xizhi was also a general of Ning Yuan, and later moved to the general of the right army, thinking that calligraphy and swordsmanship also have a lot to do with it. Adults don't have to excuse themselves. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "But, what am I writing?" I'm not like a gentleman, I can write a brocade without thinking. ”

The man calmly accepted his compliment and said, "If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to write an upper couplet for this teahouse with the theme of tea, and continue the mink at the lower dog's tail, and make up a lower couplet, which will also stain the light of the adult." ”

The arrogant scribe tested him. Shen Ruoyu noticed the disdain in the other party's gaze from beginning to end, especially the loftiness and pride that were always revealed in this person's tone, and knew that when he met such a character today, his face would inevitably be lost no matter what. Looking at this posture, he can't shirk this exam. What's more, he also wants to touch the details of this person and see what he is from.

Shen Ruoyu said: "Xiao Ke only knows a few words, how dare he dance in front of Mr. Today, I just think it's a shy face, ask Mr. Yu for advice, and smile generously. ”

He called Xiao Er over, stuffed him with a banknote, and said:

"Your business in this store will be lost to me. You don't have to ask them for the tea money of this Jing Ye and this adult. Look, are these enough? ”

The little second hesitated for a moment: "Lord Shen, these smashed dishes are all fine blue and white porcelain, and they are purchased in sets......

Shen Ruoyu took out another one and gave it to him: "What now?" ”

"Your Excellency, you are considerate, you are considerate!" The little second took the money and was just about to leave, when Shen Ruoyu stopped him:

"Don't be busy; I've also been a junior in the hotel, don't think I don't count. Make another pot of good ones to scare people, and light two more high candles, the light here is really bad. Also, what's the name of your teahouse? The signboard is so old, I haven't seen it a few times. ”

"Yes; The small teahouse is called Biyun Zhai, don't look at this signboard is a little old, our teahouse has been open since the third year of the year, and it has been 60 years now, and it is also a well-known brand in Yingtianfu. ”

"Biyun Zhai?" Shen Ruoyu waited for the little two to go down, pondered for a moment, and smiled at the scribe: "Xiao Ke has an idea, I start with the blue character as the upper link, and Mr. uses the cloud word to connect the next link." What does the gentleman think? ”

The scribe smiled and said, "Anything goes." He sat down with a smile and watched Xiao Er hold out two high candles, which were placed on the tea table, a pot of frightening people had been brewed, and the clear green tea was poured into four teacups, fine porcelain. The shape of the purple clay pot is very chic, the shape of the peach, the peach leaf is skillfully made of the lid, and the bottom of the branch is supported, turning into a spout poking out from the front, and spitting out white gas slightly.

Shen Ruoyu took a sip of green tea and glanced at the scribe on the side who was obviously ready to despise, a little depressed. Who the hell is this person? If he was ruthless enough, he should really find out the identity of the other party immediately, and then find a way to slander the emperor and fix it well. It's a pity that he is not this kind of person, and he can't make up his mind when he occasionally has this kind of thought.

He pondered for a moment, then took a pen and wrote down lines on the paper:

"The cup of clear water is full of blue water, and the orchid fragrance surrounds the room, but the new tea is refreshing, and the clear water is colorless and tasteless."

The scribe who came up with the question obviously suspected that he was the eyeliner traitor of King Yan, and did not believe that he had really completely drawn a line with King Yan since the day King Yan raised his army, stood firmly on the side of the Son of Heaven, and also contributed a lot to the emperor. Shen Ruoyu used clear water as a metaphor for himself, and he was inspired by the pot of green tea in front of him, so he thought of the ancestral motto of Zhenshui Village, "Real water has no fragrance", which expressed more of a helplessness.

When the scribe saw that he had finished writing, he stood up, went to the table, looked at the ink on the paper, and smiled:

"Sure enough, good words! This Shanglian is also well-intentioned, and Lord Shen is bothered. ”

Shen Ruoyu got up and left his seat and said:

"Sir, please advise."

The scribe sat down at the table without humility, lifted the hem of his clothes, and without thinking, he took up his pen and wrote a strange line on another piece of paper:

"The clouds are from the well, the fog is soaring into the sky, you must know that the clear water is pleasant, just because the tea has affection and heart."

In a word, it implies that Shen Ruoxiao's original background and current status are very different, and it also points out that all this is because of the grace of the Son of Heaven, which naturally refutes Shen Ruoxiao's weak and powerless uplink. Shen Ruoyu saw it clearly, couldn't help sighing, and said softly:

"Sir is the real master. What's more, this hand of strange words, fairy but not false, is integrated, into a bamboo in the chest, free and easy. Wonderful words, Shen Ruo has nothing to say, and he is willing to bow down. It's just that I still want to defend myself: Sir, you have wronged me. ”

The scribe looked up at him and smiled.

"Lord Shen himself said just now, 'The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material must wait for seven years'; The adult forgot to pay for it; If you don't sign your name, it will be in vain for this good hand, but I am afraid that the guests of Biyunzhai will be less than half. ”

Shen Ruoxiao smiled lightly and signed the inscription under his upper link. When he had finished his inscription, the scribe took the pen, and with a great stroke of the pen under his book, he quickly wrote two strings of words, then put the pen back on the table, handed the two characters to the shopkeeper, and said:

"The store will go to frame it tomorrow, and it will be hung on the lobby of the main entrance to ensure that your business will be prosperous from now on, and the seats will be full."

The little second took the word in a panic and said, "Of course; Lord Shen's immortal book is here, and it will definitely be able to attract guests from all over the capital. ”

When the scribe heard him say this, he lifted up his head haughtily, and said with great coldness:

"Half of it."

Then, he gave Shen Ruoyu a simple salute and said:

"There will be a date later."

While turning around, he walked out of the teahouse leisurely, without looking at the others.

Hong Jiang waited for him to go out and sighed: "What a frivolous literati, what a bold man." ”

Shen Ruoyu glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "I said brother, people are arrogant, and when they come to me, they will become wealthy." That's what I think I'm at this level in your eyes? You even scolded people so quietly. ”

Hong Jiang blushed and said, "No, no, that's not what it meant." If it were me, I would have been scared down by him, and I could only write foul words on the paper, where would I still have that face to scold you. Besides, the county lord has a crush on you, not me, so don't remind me what level I am. ”

Jing Yuluo asked, "Who is this person?" I haven't seen anyone crazier than me, good fellow. ”

Shen Ruoyu took the paper held in the shopkeeper's second-hand hand. The ink on it had not yet dried, and he carefully unfolded it, setting aside his upper couplet and looking down. A line of small print in the upper right corner: Cheng Shen Yu Shi Tea Shanglian. Then there is the handsome and beautiful book of dragon flying and phoenix dancing. The inscription on the lower left foot is:

In the autumn of Jimao, in July, Jiashen Hanlin served the edict to solve the problem in Jinling Biyunzhai.

Shen Ruoyu stared at the name and thought for a moment.

At that time, Xie Jin was already famous, but he was not as famous as he was later. Shen Ruoyu still needs to think hard about it before she remembers who this Xie Jin is. He did see this person in the Wenchen who edited the "Taizu Record" in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and he also listened to Huang Guan, the champion of the Ministry of Rites, during the interval on duty, this Xie Jin is the twenty-first year Jinshi of Hongwu, the champion of the year is Ren Hengtai, and Xie Jin and Zhuo Jing are the same year. However, Xie Jin had just turned 20 years old at the time, not only that year, but also the youngest of all the Jinshi since the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao appreciated him very much, ordered him to serve in front of the emperor day and night, often consulted on state affairs, and said to him personally: "I and Eryi are the kings and ministers, and the father and son of Enyu should know everything." Xie Jin often gave Emperor Gao tens of thousands of words, and every time he played, Emperor Gao was full of praise for his talent.

However, the problems that young and talented people must have are becoming more and more obvious, that is, they are arrogant and indulgent. Xie Jin thinks very highly of himself, and he is also qualified to think of himself like this, coupled with his young and impetuous, he is always arrogant in dealing with others, and soon aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the court officials, and many people complained to Zhu Yuanzhang. The old emperor knew that Xie Jin's redundancy and self-indulgence were wrong, and he was reluctant to punish him, so he let him be the imperial history. The arrogant genius He was afraid of offending people, and he was even more in the position of the imperial history, and he was so bold that he pleaded for Li Shanchang, who was convicted of Zhu Yuanzhang and was executed, and at the same time, because he was not reckless, he offended many colleagues and was jointly impeached by everyone.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang still likes this arrogant hairy boy very much. However, the old emperor knew that if he continued to keep Xie Jin by his side, not only would he not be able to speak in front of the hundred officials, but he would also cause the unanimous hatred of the hundred officials towards Xie Jin, and he would inevitably hurt this rare talent in the end. In order to love him, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to invite Xie Jin's father and said to him:

"If you are a late bloomer, if you return to your son, you will be able to go to school, and in the next ten years, it will not be too late."

I want him to bring his son home, let Xie Jin calm down in a down-to-earth manner, study for a few more years, and at the same time understand more about the world and people, become more mature and steady, and then come to the court to achieve great things.

So Xie Jin was taken home by his father to study. However, in less than ten years, in the eighth year, Zhu Yuanzhang died and returned to heaven. Xie Jin couldn't hold his breath, ran back to Beijing, and was impeached for violating the edict; At that time, his mother had just died of illness and had not yet had time to be buried, and his father was already ninety years old. So Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor who was known for his benevolence and filial piety, despised what he had done, and sent this talented man to Hezhou to fill the army with an edict. Xie Jin stayed in Hezhou for less than two months, and he was already miserable, so he wrote a letter to Dong Lun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, regretting that he was easy to be crazy and stupid, and at the same time defended himself with blood and tears, saying that he was extremely sad because of the death of Emperor Gao, and he only wanted to come to the capital to worship the filial piety, so he would leave his mother's funeral and his elderly father behind. He also said that he has been at home for eight years, and he has made some achievements in studying diligently; He also said that the people in the south were not accustomed to the water and soil in the north, and they were sick, and a weak scholar had to practice every day with rough soldiers, running and beating, which was unbearable. begged Dong Lun to say good things for him in front of the Son of Heaven, either to recall himself back to Jingshi, or to let himself go home to serve his father.

Obviously, the experience of charging the army in Hezhou has made this arrogant genius who does not know the height of the sky have suffered enough, and he has finally learned a lesson. Dong Lun saw that he was really heartbroken between the lines, so he helped him with this favor and said a lot of good things in front of Zhu Yunwen. Xie Jin was able to escape from the Hezhou military camp and return to the Jingshi Tianzi to serve as a Hanlin attendant.

At this point, the talented Xie Jin has greatly restrained his innocence and arrogance, but this thing originally coexisted with talent and learning, and it was impossible to eradicate it; This person is still arrogant, but Zhu Yunwen's close Wenchen is locked on Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, and he has no chance to understand his arrogance, and Xie Jin, who has learned to be obedient, will no longer let his arrogance become stupid and cause trouble for himself as before. So he just stayed quietly in the Hanlin Courtyard, secretly waiting for his opportunity.

Shen Ruoyu felt that he was lucky today, and met this legendary talented madman Xie Jin, and secretly thought that since most of the court officials were despised by him, and many of them were directly attacked by him, it would not be ashamed for him to be ridiculed by such a talented man. He had heard a lot of anecdotes about the bachelor, who had been a prodigy with outstanding literary talents since he was a child, and those four sentences casually took advantage of the ridicule of passers-by: "The drizzle falls on the plan, and the brick street is slippery like oil." The phoenix fell to the ground and laughed at a herd of cows", which is already an incisive quote that children all over the world can recite well. Even now, I'm such an adult, and I don't have this kind of hard work.

However, if he wants to have a deep friendship with this person, I'm afraid it won't be so simple. Shen Ruoyu felt that he had read too little anyway, and he should find a way to make up for the class.

However, it takes time to study, and it is not easy to become a talent. With Xie Jin's talent, if there was no ten-year cold window, it would not be possible to get a jinshi at the age of 20, especially if there was no eight years of closed-door hard study without worry-free food and clothing, and he achieved the supreme talent of not knowing the fame of the bachelor's history. For most people, without Xie Jin's talent, let alone the conditions for him to study without worry, it is extremely difficult to become a talent. The same is true for Shen Ruoliao; He must do his job wholeheartedly, if not for any ideals, at least in order to feed his family and live a decent life without starvation. This consumed most of his time and energy, and God did not give him this opportunity when he really wanted to calm down and study.

At this moment, on the day of Jiashen on the 17th day of the seventh month of the autumn of Jianwen, he reconciled Jin in the Biyunzhai Teahouse, and neither of them knew that the situation on the northern battlefield had undergone major changes on this day. The progress of the war made him concentrate on reading ** must only be suppressed, this day may still be possible, but it is far away.

However, the heavens are always fair, depriving him of one opportunity and giving him another completely equal opportunity.
