Chapter 45: Why Do Guests Come from Far Away (1)

Gu Yan didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "But it's a blessing to be able to meet the world's heroes, isn't it?" ”

Gu Yan knows the power of the "Commentary on the Four Books". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But he barely remembered the book on the scriptures in his head. In modern times, an amateur like Xiang Gu Yan is just a book that has nothing to do but flip through the original ancient text and modern translation. If, for some reason, the emperor was not immediately recruited, wouldn't he be able to overpower Fang Zhongyong, who might not have appeared now, and become the first person in the ancient world to become mediocre? Even if he uses the poems in his mind to maintain his fame, but when he is recruited, the initiative is not in Gu Yan's hands. I have to say that Gu Yan is indeed a little anxious at this point. After all, it was an ancient time that had just passed through death, and even a cold would kill people, who knows how long he would live this time? Of course, an important reason why he chose to participate in this imperial examination was because Gu Yan knew the questions of this examination and had a good literary foundation.

Su Shi saw that Gu Yan didn't answer specifically, and he didn't care too much, after all, people have their own ideas, and he just mentioned it casually. Raise your glass and smile: "Yuzhi has great ambitions." ”

Gu Yan smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "What this says is 'Where it is for the ambition, and out for the grass.'" 'That's it. ”

These words were originally Hao Long's words mocking Xie An in "The World Says New Words", and Gu Yan used this sentence to laugh at himself, which couldn't help but make Su Shi and Su Zhe both of them angry. Su Shi even smiled and picked up the next sentence: "This pass is not evil, and it is very good." This clever sentence made the atmosphere in the audience even more joyful.

The three of them chatted about some gossip next, saying some interesting things about their hometown and some things they saw and heard in Beijing along the way, but they were quite deed. Alcohol is a good thing to increase feelings, and by the time they separated, the relationship between the three was already quite familiar.

However, the ancient provincial examination is like the modern college entrance examination, and most of the candidates still attach great importance to the exam, and before the results of the provincial examination are out, they do not have a lot of time and mood to go around making friends and feasting. Even if you are familiar with history, you always want to read a book for a quarter of an hour. I can't say that there is that sentence or which allusion can be used during the exam.

In March, on the eve of the scientific expedition, there was another news on the streets that overshadowed the upcoming provincial examination for the second year of Jiayou. -- Sentenced Chen Zhou, the envoy of the Protector of the Country, and Di Qing of Tongping Zhangshi to die in office.

Gu Yan happened to be standing on the street, listening to a few pedestrians talking about Di Qing. Gu Yan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he felt quite sad, a military general finally died of suspicion, what could be more sad than this? And even if Gu Yan already knew such a result, he couldn't do anything about it. Gu Yan clenched his fists, stood for a while, and finally let go of his clenched fists and sighed. But I heard a sigh not far away at the same time. Gu Yan couldn't help but glance at the man, the man also seemed to feel strange, just looked up at Gu Yan, the two met their eyes, and then nodded to each other, and then staggered.

The man was dressed similarly to Gu Yan, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed like a scholar, but with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was quite heroic. Gu Yan didn't know him.

Gu Yan didn't think much about it, walked to a store, picked out two good Xuanzhou pens, and went back. Back at home, Gu Yan carefully polished the ink, and was about to try a new pen. saw Qingzhi hurriedly running into the study.

Gu Yan had no choice but to put the pen that had just been stained with ink on the celadon pen stand on the side. Frowning and asking, "What's the matter?" Why is it in such a hurry. ”

"That man...... That person chased here...... "Qingzhi walked too quickly, and at the same time was shocked. Gu Yan was a little confused when he heard it: "Who is chasing after you?" You speak slowly, speak clearly. ”

Qing Zhi gasped: "It's the one we saved on the way." Qingzhi's voice actually brought out a bit of crying, "I just went out to buy embroidery thread, and he stood at the door, scared me to death......"

Gu Yan remembered that he was talking about the strange person he met before going to Beijing. If it were him, as soon as he opened the door, he would see that almost unrecognizable face, and it would be quite scary indeed. And Gu Yan was thinking about something else in his heart at this time, how did this person come here? And for what purpose?

Gu Yan's face became serious, and he said to Qing Zhi: "You go to the room to rest first, this person may just come to apologize, don't be afraid." By the way, what about the man? ”

"I ...... I...... I was so frightened that I closed the door, and the man might still be outside. ”

"Alright, you can go back to the house first." Gu Yan said, "I'll go see him." ”

"That'...... Then you have to be careful, that person is not like a good person. Qing Zhi bit her lip, and left in a hurry after saying this.

Gu Yan walked to the gate and opened the door, Qing Zhi really said well, it was really that person standing at the door, seeing Gu Yan open, the man lifted the hat on his head a little, and said with a smile: "Gu Yuzhi, long time no see?" How's it going? ”

Gu Yan was suspicious, but there was a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Brother Xu." Come in. ”

The man seemed stunned for a moment, and then smiled calmly: "I didn't expect you to remember me." After speaking, you are welcome, crossed the threshold, and came in.

This moment of stunned...... I'm afraid the name of the so-called "Xu Guzi Wenjian" is also made up. Gu Yan sneered in his heart, and couldn't help but be more cautious.

The two sat down in the study. Xu Gu took off the hat and put it aside casually, but he opened his mouth first and said with a smile: "That little girl is frightened?" ”

Gu Yan smiled lightly, but asked, "Why did Brother Xu come here?" ”

Xu Gu said with a smile: "Coincidentally, the house you rented is my property." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yan felt a little more cautious in his heart. And think about the house for rent, those conditions that are attached...... Was it a coincidence or a premeditation? Gu Yan simply relaxed his body and said with a smile: "It seems that the name Xu Gu Xu Wenjian is not your real name." ”

Xu Guwei thought about it, and then understood why Gu Yan said this, so he smiled and said, "I actually have a lot of names. But it's my real name, but I haven't used my real name for too long, and I'm a little unused to it. ”

Gu Yan was noncommittal. I don't know the details of this person in the end, and his real name is just his own family's words. ======

PS: Quoting the original text of "The World Speaks New Words": Xie Gong had the ambition of Dongshan from the beginning, and then he was repeatedly strict, and he was unstoppable, and he began to be a company horse. At that time, people had the herbs of Huan Gong, and there were far-sighted ambitions. The public took it and asked him: 'This medicine is also known as Xiaocao, what is the same thing and has two names?' Thank you for not answering. When Hao Long was sitting, he replied: "This is very easy to solve, where it is far-sighted, and out it is grass." "Thank you very much. Gong Huan thanked him and smiled: "Hao joining the army is not evil, and he is very willing. ”
