Chapter 0166: Rise to Fame
"Big brother!" Gongsun Jingyu said with a strange expression, "I heard the Lin steward sent back by my father tell my grandmother, ......... Said my father read the letter, it was... Ahem, it was tears in my eyes, and I even said......."
"What did you say?"
"Say that this child has finally grown up and is sensible......"
Li Ang patted Gongsun Jingyu's head and said with a smile: "You have to be scared, pretend!" ”
Gongsun Jingyu said with a bitter face: "Big brother, what am I pretending, my father thought that I wrote the letter, but this is obviously what you asked me to write like that, big brother, you think, when I enter Beijing, my father will immediately see the truth and falsehood, and it is strange that I will not be killed at that time." Big brother, what can I do? ”
Li Ang spread his hands and said, "What else can I do?" Your father has sent someone back, can I still hide you? ”
Li Ang also figured it out, he couldn't rely on the banner of the Gongsun family for the rest of his life, and his life would have to be faced by himself sooner or later.
I thought I had nothing at the beginning, and who were you afraid of?
The most fearful thing about being a human being is carrying too much unnecessary baggage, which will make you feel constrained. Life is a process, not a result. Just enjoy the process.
If you have the banner of the Gongsun family, you will hold on to it, and if you have a few money, you will be afraid of this and that, which will only make life lose a lot of excitement.
For Leon, wealth is just something outside the body, and with his advanced knowledge of nearly 2,000 years, it is not difficult to make money.
Power is what he is pursuing now, and that day in front of the Yamen of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy, the feeling of power and majesty on his face gave him a great shock.
He is now actively striving to make a few poems and become famous, mainly to get the qualification of a township tribute. But is it really realistic to take the path of the imperial examination?
Leon is now building momentum for this. But in his heart, he was skeptical about taking the road of entering the imperial examination. After all, his foundation in scripture is too poor.
Datang attaches great importance to military merits, and it is very common for generals to enter the prime minister, maybe it is more realistic for him to abandon literature and follow martial arts, not to mention after the Anshi Rebellion. The military generals are dictatorial and divide one side, and whoever has soldiers in their hands at that time is the master.
Li Ang couldn't pay attention for a while, after all, if he wanted to make military achievements, he had to take his life to fight. He thought so much that he ignored what Gongsun Jingyu was talking about.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! Did you hear me say anything? ”
"Brother Xian, what did you say?"
Gongsun Jingyu rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, I'm asking you what to do?" ”
"Brother Xian, if Ling Zun wants to take you into Beijing, he must want to cultivate you well. Your grandson's family is such a lone seedling as you, you have an unshirkable responsibility, virtuous brother, go ahead, study hard, and learn more from your father how to deal with people in the officialdom. Brother Wei is now seeking a place for the township tribute, and if the matter is completed, he will enter Beijing soon. ”
"Really? Big brother preparing to participate in the imperial examination? ”
"Of course it's true, you have to fight to find out if you can't do it. I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. The virtuous brother is now in Beijing. Just go and stand up before the eldest brother, and when the eldest brother enters Beijing, I have to ask you to take care of it. ”
"Needless to say!" Gongsun Jingyu patted his chest, and then let out his breath again, "Big brother, but the thought of living under my father's nose all day long. I was sick. ”
Li Ang patted him on the shoulder sympathetically and said, "Brother Xian, everyone has to learn to grow up, you have a sense of strength that is not afraid of heaven and earth, but you haven't used it on the right path before." Go, how many people in this world can be the servants of the ministry? Learn something from your father. Only in the future can we settle down. ”
"Big brother, little brother would rather learn from you." Gongsun Jingyu said very seriously.
"If you have a chance, isn't your brother preparing to enter Beijing, when the time comes, if you really want to learn, you will be taught by the brothers. However, you also have to learn some skills from Ling Zun, and teach me when the time comes, this is a conditional exchange, how about it? ”
"Big brother, don't scold me, hehe!"
"Brother is serious, you can't teach me anything then, so you're embarrassed to let me teach you?"
"Well, I'll just try to learn. Big brother, you have to go to Beijing early. In fact, Gongsun Jingyu also knew that he couldn't hide this time, and after learning that Li Ang was going to enter Beijing, he was no longer so reluctant to go to the capital.
Two days later, Li Angjin's Shu Han Building held a banquet for Gongsun Jingyu.
Jinli is located in the south of the Jinjiang River, close to Wuhou Shi, was once one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Xishu, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the Three Kingdoms period was famous all over the world.
The Shu brocade produced here is distinct in the Jinjiang River, and other rivers do not have this effect, so it is called Jinli! During the Shu Han Dynasty, Jinguan was set up and Jinguan City was established to protect the production of Shu brocade, and now the new sample brocade produced is also listed as the royal tribute of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking down from the upper floor, the whole Jinli is full of people, shoulder to shoulder, red lanterns are hung under the eaves, all kinds of signboards are station, the merchants and customers from all over the world are sudden, and it is very lively. On weekdays, Gongsun Jingyu didn't care about this, and when he was about to leave, he felt a little reluctant.
"Big brother, why don't I find an excuse, and when you go to Beijing to catch the exam, let's go to Beijing together." Gongsun Jingyu said expectantly.
"Brother Xian, you're here again!" Leon poured him a full glass of wine, and then said proudly, "Come, dry this wine." ”
As soon as the two of them drank a few glasses of wine, they heard someone next door talking loudly: "Fellow students, today I met a new novelty in Zhuang, and a new bookstore was opened in Jinli. ”
"Brother Xiang, what's new about opening a new bookstore?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the strange thing about this bookstore is that there is only one book in the entire bookstore."
"Only one book? That's a strange thing. ”
"The stranger is yet to come, and guess how much this book will cost?"
"Consistently?"
"Two runs?"
"Is it possible to go through five times?"
"Don't guess, you can't dream of it, let me tell you, the price of this book is a full fifty. And unless you pay to buy it, you are not allowed to read it. ”
"Fifty times? Brother Xiang, are you kidding? Could it be that the book is gilded? ”
"No, this book is just plain paper."
"Joke, this can also be sold for a sky-high price of fifty yuan, who wants it?"
"Hey! Fellow students, don't you say, someone really bought the book for fifty times? And it's not the average person. ”
"Brother Xiang, who is it? Who bought it? ”
"I don't guess that it was Ambassador Zhang Qiu's daughter who bought this book."
"Ahh
"What kind of book is it worth fifty times?"
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Hearing this, Gongsun Jingyu's ears pricked up, and Li Ang laughed and said: "Brother Xian, the strange book they are talking about, there is also one here for brother, do you want it?" ”
"If you want it, big brother, take it and take a look."
Li Ang took out a copy of "Huanhuaxi Poems" and handed it to Gongsun Jingyu, saying, "This should be regarded as a gift for my brother to send you to Beijing." ”
Gongsun Jingyu took the book and looked at it, and immediately couldn't help asking, "Big brother, who is this Huanhuaxi monk?" ”
"Hey......
