There are seven or eight thatched houses, and the older you go, the longer you go, when Pei Saburo brought it into the thatched hut with a bamboo wind chime hanging in front of the door, Du Shiyi couldn't help but glance at Cui Jianxuan next to her. At this moment, this beautiful boy and girl is no longer the smug and no-nonsense appearance just now, and the mouth that offends people as soon as he opens his mouth is also tightly pursed. Only when he found his scouting gaze, Cui Shiyi Lang still immediately turned his head.

Du Shiyi was looking at the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows sitting on the main seat in the center, secretly thinking that this famous hermit master Lu Hong was really a person with a lofty reputation, and when he heard Pei Sanlang's second senior brother, he knew that he was mistaken. Compared with his deliberations, Cui Jianxuan's reaction was much stronger, and he immediately asked bluntly: "Why, could it be that Duke Lu refuses to see people?" ”

"If you come to study and apprentice, you need to pass the Lu three exams, which has been the rule of Lu Shi for many years. Of course, even if you can't pass the three exams, as long as you are willing to stay, you can listen to the lectures and come and go as you please. The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the country said that his voice was like a person, and his voice like Hong Zhong directly suppressed Cui Jianxuan's question, "In the past, the three exams of the Lu family were personally presided over by Master Lu, but now there are too many disciples studying in the cottage, so I will wait for the three to be presided over by Master Lu for the longest time." Du Langjun and Cui Langjun have already won the approval of the third junior brother, so now I have a question to ask the two. ”

It's already a pass just now?

Du Shiyi immediately glanced at Pei Sanlang, and saw that he was still unmoved, and he had no intention of explaining, this time, he took the initiative to ask: "May I ask Brother Pei, what is the ...... that the two of us have been tried?"

"In case of danger, you can save each other in time, and you are not in a hurry and still have a normal heart, this article alone is enough to prove the character of the two gentlemen. What's more......" Pei Sanlang paused, glanced at Du Shiyi thoughtfully, and then said coldly, "Putting aside whether it is beneficial to hunt locusts for the time being, those who can endure the starvation of the people and die, Lu Shi will definitely take this compassion." ”

Cui Jianxuan suddenly realized. Thinking about it, he easily passed the first hurdle, and he was originally worried about taking the poem and asking the article, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, he heard the second senior brother with the Chinese character face smile and pointed to the pen and paper on the desk and said, "The two Langjun can write a poem on the paper at will." As if he had discovered Cui Jianxuan's sudden change, the second senior brother with a national character face added with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it is done by myself, or by ancient and modern sages or even anonymous." Even if it doesn't become a poem, it's just a sentence. ”

Hearing that he didn't have to make his own poems, Cui Jianxuan suddenly relieved his heart. He stepped forward and took the pen and paper, and without thinking about it, he picked up the pen overnight, and handed the ink-drenched white linen paper to the other party, and he read it out loud: "Goose goose goose, the song is to the sky, the white hair floats in the green water, and the anthurium plucks the clear waves." ”

After reading it, he still asked in a somewhat provocative tone: "This poem was written when King Luo Bin was seven years old, should it be counted?" ”

"Naturally." The second senior brother didn't feel embarrassed at all, nodded happily, took the paper and glanced at it, and then looked at Du Shiyi.

When Du Shiyi heard Cui Shiyi's first three words, he already understood that this guy was still deliberately tossing, and at this moment it was his turn, he held the pen and pondered for a while, thinking that Du Shisanniang was pestering himself with those two lines of poetry before, he got up for a moment, and Suo Xìng picked up the pen and wrote: "The flying stream goes straight down for three thousand miles, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." ”

The Lu family's third exam has been around for a long time, and the form has always been eclectic, but at this moment, if the second senior brother encounters someone else in this exam, he will inevitably be ecstatic and shout simple. Who has traveled a long way here to study, who doesn't have a few good poems? However, Cui Jianxuan directly took the poems that King Luo Bing was called a prodigy to make up the numbers. And Du Shiyi is a sentence but not a poem, but the domineering momentum in the sentence is rushing to the face, coupled with the power of the pen that penetrates the back of the paper, even Pei Saburo, who has already heard those two lines of poetry at the beginning, can't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The second senior brother took the two pieces of white linen paper, pondered for a moment and then said, "The third senior brother will lead them to see the senior brother." ”

Is this considered to have passed the second exam?

Cui Jianxuan, who thought that going to study in this Lu's thatched cottage would be full of difficulties, widened his eyes for a while. It wasn't until Du Shiyi pulled him out of this thatched hut with Pei Saburo that he said incredulously: "It's really that simple? I fooled myself with a song of goose? ”

As soon as the words fell, Pei Sanlang in front of him said without looking back: "You don't have to be too happy, the second senior brother is kind-hearted, and almost everyone can pass his exam." ”

One sentence immediately knocked Cui Jianxuan's radiant spirit completely away, and Du Shiyi was stunned, and at the same time, he remembered the scale of the Lu family's thatched cottage, and immediately asked: "Listen to what the second senior brother said, even if you don't take the third exam, you can still listen to it?" I don't know how many people are listening to the lecture now? ”

"Master Lu has always taught without class, and there is no difference between listening to lectures and us." Pei Saburo still walked straight forward on his own, but said in his mouth, "It's just that if the disciples who have passed the three exams of the Lu family, Master Lu will be questioned once a month, if they are lazy and slippery and do not want to make progress, they will stay for a month, and if this is still the case, there is no need to stay in the Lu family's thatched cottage to listen to the lectures." ”

This rule is not too surprising to Du Shiyi, to put it bluntly, it is the difference between regular students and auditors, formal students have to take the exam to graduate, otherwise they will have to demerit repetition and expulsion, and the audit students who skip the class only need to listen to the lecture without the exam, that's all. It's just that at this moment, seeing Cui Jianxuan's sudden change, as if he was thinking about whether he should slip away immediately, he grabbed this guy silently. Seeing Pei Saburo striding ahead, Xu Yu had already left the two of them behind the long distance, and he whispered to Cui Jianxuan: "You talk about righteousness, do you plan to let me go to see the legendary senior brother alone?" ”

One sentence of righteousness is worthy of any other big truth, and for a while, Cui Jianxuan, who had been retreating, could only stubbornly say: "What legendary senior brother, is he very famous?" Forget it, just for righteousness, I'll accompany you for another ride...... But Du Nineteen, if it's really a difficult question that I can't answer, then it's no wonder I left you alone! ”

"It's all Zuihou left, aren't you scared?"

Cui Jianxuan immediately puffed up his chest: "Who is afraid?" I, Cui Shiyi, don't know what it means to be afraid of words in my life! ”

As Pei Saburo stepped into the thatched hut built almost against the cliff wall, Du Shiyi found that it was empty. The room is not as neat and elegant as in the second senior brother's room, the seat cushions are thrown horizontally, and the four treasures of the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study room are not resting on a small table, but scattered everywhere, and even those clothes such as robes and socks can be seen everywhere. Faced with this situation, not only Cui Jianxuan's face was extremely strange, but even Pei Saburo's face was darkened.

"Big ...... Division...... Elder brother! ”

As soon as Pei Sanlang's three words that were gritted and cold as ice came out, the next moment, a hearty laugh came from outside: "Come on, oops, the third junior brother is still so anxious!" ”

Whether it was Du Shiyi or Pei Saburo, when they saw the young man with his open shirt and bare feet stepping into the room from outside, they all showed an expression of disbelief. However, seeing that the people did not seem to be unusual, they smiled and walked to the main seat in the center and sat down, and warmly beckoned them to sit down, and the two of them were convinced that this unruly young man was really Lu Hong's first disciple. As soon as he sat down, Du Shiyi only heard Pei Sanlang speak in a more cold voice than just now: "Senior brother, the two of them only have your zuihou left to take the test." ”

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry, the second junior brother is kind-hearted, it's rare for someone to pass the third junior brother's iron-faced question, it's not easy. It must be known that over the years, almost all of the people who have been able to list the disciples of the grass hall have come with a letter of recommendation......"

"Senior brother, the light is precious, don't delay any longer!"

When the young man saw Pei Saburo interrupt him, his fair face was clearly shrouded in black anger, and he coughed lightly as if he didn't see it, and still smiled extremely enthusiastically, "The contemptible Lu Wangzhi was raised by Master Lu since he was a child, so although he is immoral and incompetent, he still occupies a position. ......He suddenly looked around, zuihou looked at the two clothes falling on the ground, and asked with a smile, "Then I would like to ask the two Langjun, which one do you prefer the silk clothes or cloth clothes on the ground?" ”

"Naturally, it's silk clothes!" The initial surprise had passed, and although the question was very strange, Cui Jianxuan still answered it without thinking.

"Why?"

"Silk clothes are smooth and comfortable, far better than cloth clothes a hundred times, there are silk clothes that do not wear but like cloth clothes, isn't it pretending to be simple and famous?"

Listening to Cui Jianxuan's neat answer, Lu Wangzhi suddenly laughed, and then looked at Du Shiyi again.

The gains and losses before Du Shiyi came here disappeared as early as when he arrived at Lu's Thatched Cottage and after the first two examinations. At this moment, seeing that this senior brother was unexpected, friendly and interesting, he smiled calmly: "It's just four words, do what you can." ”

"What's the explanation?"

"If the family is poor, they wear cloth clothes; The family is wealthy, and naturally wears silk clothes. This is called doing what you can, not slapping your swollen face and becoming fat! ”

"A good reputation, a good one!" Lu Wangzhi stroked his palm, then stood up and arched his hand, "Please two Lang Jun, come with me to see Master Lu." ”
