Wang Zongyuan saw Liu Xu's gaze asking for help, and got up and came to Liu Xu's side.

Liu Xu smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "Teaching Wang, the student is in a hurry to leave this morning, and he forgot to bring pen and ink." In fact, Liu Xu didn't know that he had to prepare his own pen and ink for the exam.

Wang Zongyuan said with a smile: "Can there be words brewed?" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly said modestly: "It's a bad work." ”

Wang Zongyuan said: "That's good, and come with me." ”

Wang Zongyuan led Liu Xu to the front of the lecture hall and said to Lin Tinghua: "Lin Xuezheng, this student forgot to bring pen and ink this morning. Usually he has some talent, and he has made a few good songs, so it is better to ask him to recite the words directly, how about Lin Xuezheng listen to it? ”

Lin Tinghua said with a smile: "It's okay, then let's listen to it together, and let the students stop for a while and listen together." ”

Liu Xu said in his heart: Chanting in public, isn't it a bit too showy, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing? However, since the senior let himself chant, he can only recite it head-on. Thinking about his dog-like words, Liu Xu was still a little glad that chanting was better than writing on paper to answer the sheet, and his words were really a waste of this good poem.

At that moment, Liu Xu saluted Lin Tinghua and said: "Master Xuezheng is on top, the students are clumsy and do not do well, and I hope that Xuezheng will give guidance to the teachers." ”

Lin Tinghua smiled and said to Liu Xu: "It's easy to say, and recite it, everyone listen." ”

Liu Xu didn't want to say more, so he chanted Yang Shen's song "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" aloud:

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.

After Liu Xu finished chanting a word, the lecture hall was silent for a while, and everyone was silent.

This song "Linjiang Immortal", by narrating the rise and fall of history to express the feelings of life, bold and subtle, high-pitched and deep, the tone is generous and tragic, and the meaning is endless, which makes people feel refreshed when they read it, and they can't help but add thousands of emotions to their hearts. While making people feel desolate and tragic, this poem creates a calm and quiet atmosphere, and reflects a lofty artistic conception and a profound philosophy of life

The rolling Yangtze River, surging eastward, irresistible, unstoppable. The waves splashed, and the heroes of the ages disappeared in it. Right or wrong; Whether it is success or failure, fame and career, in a blink of an eye, the work will disappear with the flow of the river, and there will be no trace. Only the green hills still stand in front of you, watching the sun set again and again.

On this solidified historical picture, the white-haired fisherman and the leisurely woodcutter are full of interest in the autumn moon and spring breeze. Jiangzhu is Jiangwan, a place of calm leisure. The word "habitual" makes people feel a little inexplicably lonely and desolate. Fortunately, the joy of having friends from afar, and the joy of drinking and meeting confidants, made this loneliness and desolation have a comfort. "Turbid wine" seems to show the high and calm friendship between the host and the visitor, and its meaning is not wine. Throughout the ages, the world has changed, and even those great achievements that have been immortalized are nothing. It's just a conversation between people after tea and dinner, talking and laughing, and dripping with joy. How much helplessness, beyond words.

What a wonderful word! Everyone is a person who reads, and after tasting it, they have found out the wonderfulness of this word, and they are all applauded at the moment.

Liu Xu This is the first time to come to the county to study, everyone doesn't know him, seeing that he is only a little bit of work, he made such a generous and tragic, meaningless, heart-wrenching masterpiece, for a while everyone asked each other who the lyricist is?

Lin Tinghua and all the teachings were also amazed when they heard it, and they were all excited. If the county school can produce a talent, it will add glory to the entire county school.

Lin Tinghua's eyes lit up, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Liu Xu in a harmonious voice: "What's your name, I didn't know that our county school actually had such a talent?" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly replied: "Student Liu Xu, don't praise students falsely, students are only shallow in their studies, and they can't be any talents." ”

When Lin Tinghua heard Liu Xu's name, he couldn't help but let out an "ah", and asked in surprise: "Your name is Liu Xu?" But Liu Xu, who did "When Will the Bright Moon"? ”

Without waiting for Liu Xu to answer, Wang Zongyuan replied for Liu Xu: "This student is the same Liu Xu and Liu Erlang who did "When Will the Bright Moon Exist". ”

Liu Xu said in his heart: Why is he so famous, even Xuezheng knows. However, although Liu Xu was a little excited in his heart, he was busy with humility on his face, and said to Lin Tinghua: "A few crooked words made by students occasionally make the seniors laugh. "Liu Xu has been busy with the wine shop recently, and he doesn't know that he is now famous in Qingzhou.

Lin Tinghua couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that the student in front of him was Liu Xu, who is now considered by many people to be the number one talent in Qingzhou. Now that the county school talents are withering, it is difficult to find a talent, and I never thought that this first talent in Qingzhou would come to the county to study. There is a famous talent who can support the façade of Yidu County, and Lin Tinghua, who is a senior, is very happy.

Lin Tinghua smiled and said to Liu Xu: "Erlang is good, modesty is good, but being too modest is not beautiful." A few words you make, the first one is a classic punch line. If you say that your words are crooked, how can you make us all embarrassed! ”

Wang Zongyuan also smiled: "Erlang, don't be too modest, this poem you made will definitely be a wonderful word." ”

Lin Tinghua continued: "Erlang has this wonderful word, and he deserves to be the first in the exam." Although the words of other students have not yet been made, whether it is the quality of Liu Xu's word or Liu Xu's fame now, Lin Tinghua has already determined that Liu Xu's word must be the first in this exam.

Liu Xu secretly said in his heart, if others haven't done it yet, you just say that my words are the first, can other itchy people be happy? Isn't that pulling hatred for me? Liu Xu glanced at the other itchy students, and saw that there was no unconvinced look on their faces, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, it seems that Yang Shen's poem is indeed an excellent work, and it can calm people. Liu Xu hurriedly gave way to Lin Tinghuaqian: "I praised the right and wrong, the student's poem must not be the first." ”

Lin Tinghua said with a smile: "Don't be modest, I said that you deserve it, you go back and sit down for a while, and when the exam is over, I still have something to say to you." ”

Liu Xu returned to his seat and waited for the exam to end.

After another half an hour, the time for the exam came, and the teachers put away the itchy papers, and the exam was over.

Lin Tinghua called Liu Xu to go to the Jixue Hall with him.

Liu Xu said in his heart, how can he have any talent, he just wants to deal with this exam, what does Senior Lin want to find himself, and he muttered in his heart.

Jixuetang is the place where the prefectural school and the teachers work.

Wang Zongyuan and several other teachers returned to the Jixue Hall with the test papers, made tea, and began to drink tea to read the words made by each itch.

Lin Tinghua took Liu Xu to a hall in the Jixue Hall, and Lin Tinghua, who was a scholar, had his own office room.

Lin Tinghua asked Liu Xu to sit down and said with a smile: "Erlang, to be honest, I really didn't expect that our No. 1 talent in Qingzhou would come to our Yidu County to study. ”

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Don't kill students in Xuezheng, what is the first talent in Qingzhou, in addition to making a few crooked words, students are really not good at learning." ”

Liu Xu said in his heart, except for plagiarizing a few poems, he really knows nothing about ancient texts.

However, Lin Tinghua didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Erlang, you are too modest, we have to rely on Erlang to support us after the county school." "There are a lot of students in Yidu County who have not been raised in the exam, and now the talented students in Qingzhou have gone to the State School, Dwarf Pine Garden and Yunmen Academy, Lin Tinghua is anxious. Seeing Liu Xu, Lin Tinghua felt that he had finally become a famous talent and could support the façade of the county school.

Liu Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: My own skills are not even half-baked, rely on me to support the façade, you will lose the adult. Liu Xu hurriedly said: "If you don't hide your studies, it's really not good for students to read and do learning." ”

Lin Tinghua felt that Liu Xu was modest, a person who was so talented in doing poetry, he was not a problem in reading and taking scientific examinations, and he also hoped that Liu Xu would get a good score in the scientific examination and improve the reputation of the county.

Lin Tinghua said solemnly: "Erlang doesn't have to be too humble. It is also an honor for Erlang to come to the county school to study. Now that our county school is lacking a scholar, Erlang will serve as it. ”

Liu Xu hurriedly excused himself and said: "How can the student be virtuous, how can he be worthy of this scholar!" Liu Xu really doesn't know what this edict is for, and besides, he is still busy opening a wine shop to make money, and he is a literati who comes to the county to study, so how can he have time to be this or something, so he will refuse.

Lin Tinghua thought that Liu Xu was being humble again, and pretended to be displeased at the moment: "Erlang looks down on our county school, thinking that this school has insulted Erlang?" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Students don't mean this at all, don't misunderstand when you learn it." ”

Lin Tinghua said with a smile: "Then it's decided, don't shirk, come to the county to learn more in the future." ”

Liu Xu had no choice but to agree to be this kind of scholar.
