The willows are still around, and the wind turns over the sleeves.

It is a good season for peach blossoms, touching the eyes of the mixed peanut tree group warblers flying wildly in the good spring, even the sky is clear and blue, the breeze passes, the seedlings of a thousand miles are then looking up, the farmers in the distance are barefoot in the field, farther to the west, the thousand-year-old frozen Xiling towers in the mountains, looking up, the ice and snow cold seems to be able to soak people's eyebrows!

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, it is rare to see such good weather.

Weather like this is, of course, the most suitable for going out to enjoy the fun, and the literati are naturally looking at the wind.

In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Tang Dynasty, around the Jijiang Pavilion on the west bank of the Dujiang River more than ten miles east of Jinyuan County, hundreds of people gathered, among which there were nearly 100 people sitting on the ground near the Jijiang Pavilion, and they almost without exception were wearing the shirts that were most popular among the literati and scholars, although the ages were somewhat uneven, some looked like they were forty or fifty years old, and some were only sixteen or seventeen years old, but all of them were full of learning, and they were all personable.

What is being held in this place where the literati gather is a poetry meeting.

The ground is spread with futons, the scholars sit on the ground one by one, and everyone has a very delicate low table in front of them, in addition to the word open paper, ink, pen and inkstone, there are also a few delicate and exquisite seasonal fresh fruit dishes, and in front of the most is a pot of wine, and a green lotus leaf cup that is sparkling and moist in the hand.

Standing outside their group of people, there are hundreds of entourage servants, behind them, next to the official road, there are dozens of carriages of different shapes and colors parked, among which there are a few cars immediately carrying the [official banner], there are Shuzhou Thorn Shi Yamen, and there are also Jinyuan County, impressively informing the origin of the owner of this horse is extraordinary.

On the other side of the Jijiang Pavilion, a jade-colored curtain was pulled up out of thin air, completely isolating the situation there from the literati and scholars near the Jijiang Pavilion and the servants and horses here.

There were also twenty or thirty carriages parked behind the curtain, but there were dozens of female dependents of Miss Yingying Yanyan. Most of them are young ladies in the city, and it is inconvenient for the gathering of literati and scholars to show up like this, but they are unwilling to let the men occupy the limelight, so they pull up this curtain, what is on the side of the curtain, what is there here as usual, wine is eaten, poetry is done, and even the sound of the pipa falls here, and it is also jasper on the plate, which is just right!

Today, the entire Jijiang Pavilion is a big scene!

At this moment, as a stick of incense in the Jijiang Pavilion burned out, an elegant old man got up and rang the small pot in front of the case. After three sounds, the elegant old man spoke: "When the time comes, please stop writing!" ”

When many scholars heard this, they threw their pens one after another, and although their expressions were different, they all got up and took the manuscript in their hands and respectfully walked to the Jijiang Pavilion to put the manuscript on the table. As for those talents who had already submitted their manuscripts in advance, they began to talk and laugh in a low voice one by one at this time.

In the crowd, Li Xi put down the pen tube dejectedly.

In front of him, there was still a blank piece of paper.

It's not that there are good poems in the stomach, but the brush really can't write, and it's even more embarrassing to barely write it, if you don't pay attention and then make a simplified character, it will be even more troublesome, it's better to ask for a surname and not write a word.

Since the crossing, I have always encountered such an embarrassment that I can't make it.

Li Fang, who was not far away, had been paying attention to him, and when he saw this, he smiled disdainfully, turned his head and threw a look at Zhao Peng beside him, Zhao Peng suddenly nodded and smiled, and then deliberately asked loudly: "Brother Ziyue, if you don't hand in your masterpiece again, it will be invalidated!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Li Xi.

Li Xi raised his head helplessly, and smiled shyly with a harmless appearance, "This ...... The younger brother is shallow in learning, and he is, he has gained nothing, ashamed, ashamed. ”

Those who heard the sound from near and far all snickered.

This poetry meeting is to choose one of the two topics, limited to a stick of incense, not limited to ancient poems, songs, rhythmic poems, quatrains, etc., so even people who are not very good at learning can barely make up a poem, and it is not difficult to be difficult with others.

The whole audience, including 60 students from Shuzhou Prefecture, 40 students from Jinyuan County, and even more than 20 female ladies behind the curtain, all of them gained something within a stick of incense, and the only one who did not write anything was Li Xi.

Because of this, before the snickering stopped, three or two people couldn't help but openly ridicule again.

"Hey, didn't you say that kid was a great talent in your county school? Why is it so unbearable? ”

"The genius of the fart, I got drunk a few days ago, and fell off the restaurant with one foot, and since then it seems to be a different person, and now I am just a fool, where can I still make poetry!"

"Yes, I also heard that it is said that he has forgotten everything you have learned before, so angry that the teaching assistants and professors in your school are furious, and the county school is preparing to persuade him to drop out of school these days!"

"It's not, a fool who doesn't know anything, he doesn't even want Ming Jingke, how can he still have the face to stay in our Jinshi Branch! Tell me to say, an elegant meeting like ours shouldn't have called him at all, it's not fun! ”

"yes, yes, it's a disappointment......"

At this time, even behind the curtain not far away, the dozens of female dependents heard the movement here, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Far away, just a month ago, this Li Xi is still a well-known talent, he has been educated since he was a child, at the age of twelve he exported into chapters, and the poems are fresh and generous, in this radius of more than ten states and counties, there are some prodigies in the name, although his parents died early, the family has no shade to hide, but the name is really far away, so in recent years, even the state school from time to time there will be rumors, saying that the gentlemen in the state school want to summon him.

Therefore, even most of these ladies who usually stay at home have heard of his name, and there are even many young girls who regard him as the most ideal wishful husband.

At this time, in the face of everyone's disdain and ridicule, Li Xi responded with another smile that looked very shy.

Seeing this, everyone was even more disdainful.

But now that he has already laid down and confessed, no one is really embarrassed to continue to chase and fight.

Seeing Li Xi's nest appearance, Li Fang smiled more and more happily.

Since he was sensible, he has been waiting for such a day, and today it has finally come true.

He and Li Xi are uncles and brothers of the same ancestor, but the situation of the two from childhood to adulthood is completely different.

At that time, Li Xi's father, that is, Li Fang's eldest uncle Li Fu was still alive, he was the chief secretary of Jinyuan County, although he was only a small official under the ninth grade, but the so-called county order of breaking the family, the order of destroying the door, in this small Jinyuan County, the main book is second only to the county order and the county official, and it can also be called the local "big man", at that time their family was naturally very beautiful.

And Li Fang's father, Li Wei, has been doing nothing, until the eldest brother Li Fu died of a sudden illness, the county magistrate only mourned Li Fu, summoned him to the county office, and became a classless and rankless official, and until now there is no promotion.

After the death of Li Fu and his wife, Li Xi was left in the family as an orphan child, and the family naturally declined quickly, but Li Xi obviously inherited his father Li Fu's reading talent, and showed excellent resignation talent since he was a child......

Everyone is obviously an uncle and brother, but they have always been judged in the eyes of people, which makes Li Fang, who has always thought that he is much better than Li Xi in all aspects, unable to swallow this breath no matter what.

Therefore, after seeing Li Xi fall from the restaurant, his surname changed greatly, and even his original talent disappeared, he immediately fell into his heart, six days ago, he ruthlessly asked the old lady for a large sum of money, and went to a local celebrity's house to get the title of this poetry meeting in advance, and then did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire someone to write for it, in order to say today.

Seeing Li Xi's appearance, he just felt extremely relieved!

Aren't you from a family of eunuchs?

Didn't you eat and drink when you were a child?

Haven't you always been talented since you were a child?

Now it is my father who is mixed in Jinyuan County, although he is only a small official, but in the end he eats the emperor's grain, and no one dares to mess with our family in this Jinyuan County, what about you?

Nowadays, there are more than 1,800 acres of land in our family, and the family lives in a big house with four entrances, and the servants and slaves in the family are up and down, and there are more than 20 people, and they can also be promoted to the wang clan in the local area, what about you?

Now my two masterpieces are on the bookcase in the Jijiang Pavilion, if nothing else, the top ten should be stable, from now on, I will become a freshly baked talent in Jinyuan County, what about you?

……

Thinking of the pride, Li Fang couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and roar!

Barely restraining the excitement in his heart, he just kept turning his head to look at Li Xi, who was shyly smiling with his eyebrows lowered, thinking to himself, second brother, second brother, I didn't expect it, you also have today!

At this time, after an incomparably long wait, the controversy of several celebrities in Jijiang Pavilion finally ended, and the rankings and masterpieces were also released, and Li Fang was overjoyed that his two poems all entered the top ten!

There are two topics in this poetry meeting, although many people will also do it with their own talents, but after all, there are not many people with that kind of talent, and the poems of different topics are naturally not easy to get together, so the two topics of this poetry meeting are evaluated separately, so it is natural to evaluate the two top ten.

And Li Fang's two songs are actually a seventh and a ninth.

There were more than 100 scholars at the scene, plus twenty or thirty female dependents behind the curtain, and there were only two people in the top ten! Therefore, as soon as the ranking was finished, Li Fang suddenly became the focus!

Next, another highlight of the poetry club - drinking and appreciating poetry, the new talent Li Fang is naturally in the limelight!

It's rare to be able to get a good piece of incense, but someone can get two good songs in a row, this is really a great ability, who can not be convinced?

Therefore, at the moment, not only the people who had a good relationship with him came over to compliment him, but even those who didn't look down on him very much also came to talk to him and make friends, and even those state students who had no spare eyes in Pingyue, there were also many people who admired his poems, and came over in twos and threes to hand them in.

In a word, Li Fang, who was originally unknown and unknown, suddenly became famous in one fell swoop because of two good poems!

Correspondingly, Li Xi is unattended.

The reality is so cruel, when your talent is limitless, everyone surrounds you, holds you, worships you as an idol, everyone is willing to make friends with you, and once you fall, no one will still know you, and no one will want to take care of you...... But fortunately, Li Xi's expression was always faint, and there was always a shy smile on his face, as if he didn't feel anything about this kind of treatment.

He didn't take it seriously, but Li Fang always paid attention to him, and finally the poetry meeting finally ended, and before Li Xi left the crowd, Li Fang had already hurried to chase after him.

There were more than a dozen suave scholars around him, with a smug face.

"Second brother, the foolish brother has made an appointment to go to Wangjiang Tower for a drink at night, are you willing to go with you?"

"Well, thank you brother for your kindness, the younger brother is a little uncomfortable, so I won't go to join in the fun."

Li Xi still had that harmless smile on his face, and his tone was faint, but this tone was subconsciously thought to be a kind of humility in Li Fang's ears!

He was humble before himself!

And Li Xi's words were exactly in Li Fang's arms, and the lines he had prepared for a long time quickly came out, but he put on a serious tone and raised his face to Li Xi.

"Second brother, it's not that my brother said you, you are too ignorant and self-motivated, relying on some talent when you were a child, you refused to study and study seriously, what is the result, and now you have exhausted your talents, isn't it a laughing stock? Since you don't want to go, you can be regarded as a little self-aware, so you can go back by yourself, and don't study seriously in the future! ”

After saying this, Li Fang's heart was about to explode.

How many years has he been holding back these words, just waiting for the day when he can spit on Li Xi's face!

And he didn't give Li Xi a chance to refute at all, and turned around and left after speaking.

Maybe it's because the prestige of these years has not been dispersed, he always has a deep fear of Li Xi in his heart, so he was proud that after the lesson was over, he quickly turned around and walked away, and was soon surrounded by a group of people and walked away.

But he was obviously too worried, Li Xi was stunned by his pretentious tone at first, and then came back to his senses, but he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that his pretentiousness was really inexplicably tight.

"Those who are flattering before and after, but so, but ...... Interesting? He muttered to himself.

As soon as Li Fang left, a carriage stopped beside Li Xi, and the carriage was still carrying [official banner], and the person sitting on the wheel was Liu Rong. He patted the wheel of the car and said to Li Xi: "Come up!" ”

Li Xi has a marriage contract with the third lady of the Liu family, although the two have not yet married, but Liu Rong, the second son of the Liu family, has always regarded himself as the eldest brother, and he treats Li Xi very well, and Li Xi knows that the reason why there are repeated rumors in the state school that he wants to recruit himself is actually the strength of this eldest brother Liu Rong behind his back.

Li Xi shook his head and sighed, turned around and got into the car.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the carriage went along the official road to Jinyuan County.

After walking a short distance, Liu Rong opened his mouth and instructed the coachman outside: "Run slower, panic." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and winked at Li Xi, his smile a little narrow.

Today's events were a little depressing, Li Xi didn't want to speak, so he simply closed his eyes and leaned on the carriage in a daze, not thinking about what he meant behind his smile.

But Liu Rong obviously had something to say, the carriage ran out for more than two miles, and the sound of the horses' hooves around him gradually became quieter, obviously the carriages that came to participate in the poetry meeting today had opened the distance, at this time Liu Rong hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Yesterday I heard our old man say at home that there are two new vacancies in the Assassin History Yamen, and there is not much work, so I asked the old man, and he said that he could set aside a place." ”

Li Xi opened his eyes when he heard this, and glanced at Liu Rong in puzzlement, but suddenly understood what he meant.

It's time to take care of my brother-in-law.

That's right, in their eyes, since the fall, not only have they forgotten everything they have learned before, but their surnames have changed greatly, and the high hopes that were originally pinned on themselves are inevitable to be disappointed.

Liu Rong's father, that is, his future father-in-law Liu Bo is now Shuzhou Sima, a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, even in the Assassin History Yamen, he is a well-known real power figure, let him promote himself, help himself find a position in the Assassin History Yamen that is enough to support the family, speaking of which, he really takes great care of his future son-in-law, if he is really the original Li Xi, if he really has amnesia, I can't say that this is really a good way out without a way out.

It's just that...... Alas, cross, cross!

In the past few days, with the little memory left in his mind, coupled with careful observation and speculation, Li Xi finally figured out some things, and now it is the twenty-first year of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history, and the place where he is located is Jinyuan County, Shuzhou, Jiannan Province.

Of course, figuring out these is actually of little use to Li Xi, because he didn't have a very professional understanding of history in his previous life, and he barely understood a little bit of the word Kaiyuan Shengshi from the history textbooks of that year, as for what Jiannan Dao and what Jinyuan County in Shuzhou, he didn't know anything at all.

At present, his identity is an ordinary student of Jinyuan County School, coincidentally, his name is also Li Xi, but his age is much younger, and he is only eighteen years old this year, which is a good time for his prime.

It's a pity that the fate of this Li Xi doesn't seem to be very good, it is said that more than ten years ago when he was very young, the Li family used to be quite generous, and his father also served as the chief bookkeeper of Jinyuan County.

It's a pity that his father died of illness later, and two years later his mother also fell ill because of excessive sadness, leaving only the young Li Xi to guard the ancestral house with the broken window, so the family road quickly fell, and now it is said that the land in the countryside has long been sold, and several good shops in the city have also been sold, and even the big house of the original family has become a small gateway to Hu Cake Lane. If it weren't for the fact that there has always been a third uncle helping over the years, Li Xi would have starved to death a long time ago.

The current life is naturally not as comfortable as Li Xi's being a small urban white-collar worker in the previous life, but once he catches up with this kind of, who can have any good way?

Reaching out to pick up the curtain, Li Xi looked up at the Xiling Snow Mountain, which seemed to be not far away, and was speechless for a long time.

The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship.

This is the Tang Dynasty!

Ahem, ahem, what, that's the beginning......
