Chapter 164: Wang Wei

The school is not too big, probably due to personal preference, and there are osmanthus flowers everywhere in the school.

It's August now, and osmanthus is in full bloom, and the strong fragrance of osmanthus makes Hu Ye intoxicated with it, and he actually has the feeling of walking in Yanshenggong's mansion. Xindao This Wang Wei is worthy of being a scholar, and this artistic conception is still good. So after walking for a while, Hu Ye decided that he must make the Nameless Mansion more humanistic in the future.

As soon as Hu Ye made this decision, he had already followed the servant to a wooden house in the Tixue Mansion, and he could see a white-bearded old man sitting inside, holding an envelope in his hand.

"Childe, please come in." The servant said to Hu Ye and left respectfully. He was very curious about what kind of letter Hu Ye gave to Master Tixue, which could make Master Tixue, who had persisted for decades, meet with the reference students before the imperial examination for the first time.

Hu Ye smiled, and then slowly stepped into the wooden house.

The wooden house is also exquisite, but it may never be home, and it still has a strong office atmosphere, not as charming as the osmanthus outside.

"Boy Hu Ye, meet Master Tixue." Hu Ye walked slowly to Wang Wei's table, made a Confucian salute, and said softly.

"You are Hu Ye?"

Wang Wei put down the letter in his hand, and then looked at Hu Ye, probably because he had been engaged in learning for a long time, he had seen a lot of things, and his eyes were a little cold, and he looked at Hu Ye for a long time before he could see Hu Ye clearly. I didn't expect it to be an eleven or twelve-year-old young man, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Back to the adult, the kid is Hu Ye." Hu Ye bowed slightly. Very respectful answer.

"I replied to you Li Yangming's letter just now, you won't have a grudge, right?" Wang Wei stood up slowly, and said to Hu Ye as he walked out of the table.

"The kid doesn't dare." Hu Ye replied.

Just kidding, my purpose was to meet you, and now I do. If you want to say that you have a grudge, it is also Li Yangming's guilt against you, it seems that his face is not enough.

"Li Yangming was my friend back then, and he said in the letter, let me mention you. But now the imperial examination is about to begin. Any move will be questioned. I can only ignore the friendship of the year. But now it seems that I don't have a choice, you even ask my teacher to move. Wang Wei smiled and came to a table by the window of the wooden house and motioned for Hu Ye to sit down.

"The breeze on the sleeves of the adult is clear, and the kid has already heard of it. Teacher Li Yangming warned the kid when he left. It is said that it is the integrity of the scholars. His letter may not be effective. Hu Ye wrinkled and said, let's try to resolve the embarrassment, otherwise it will be really difficult for these two old things to talk when they meet in the future.

"Hey. Brother Yangming, I will explain this matter to him in the future, I am curious, how can you even invite someone like my master. Wang Wei stroked the white beard under his forehead with his left hand, picked up the teapot with his right hand, made Hu Ye a cup of tea, and then looked at Hu Ye curiously.

Hu Ye took a sip of the teacup, a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, it seems that this Wang Wei has a soft spot for osmanthus flowers, and he also knows how to use local materials.

"Lord Tixue said that it was not me who invited Yan Shenggong, but when Yan Shenggong was separated yesterday, I asked me to come to you with this letter, what is the specific content, the kid doesn't know." Putting down the teacup, Hu Ye said respectfully.

This is also a half-truth, if he clearly said that he made a deal with Yan Shenggong, I am afraid that his conduct in Wang Wei's heart will be inferior. However, he really didn't know what was in his heart, only the old man of Conne knew.

"You kid doesn't have that guts, if you're really that kind of person, how can my teacher praise you in the letter." Wang Wei laughed, as if he was very satisfied with Hu Ye's attitude.

Hu Ye was speechless, these old men all have strange personalities, it seems that you have to pay attention to getting along with them in the future.

"Boy, tell the old man how my teacher takes a fancy to you." Wang Wei took a sip, looking very enjoyable, and then said to Hu Ye.

"Well, it's just that when the kid went south, he passed by Dongping Prefecture, and Yan Shenggong invited the kid to Yansheng Gong's mansion for a while, and then chatted speculatively, plus there was a situation in Dongping Prefecture, so Yan Shenggong came to Nanjing with the kid, saying that he wanted to face the saint in person." Hu Ye said slowly, but he hid the lonely book of the Analects, that thing may not be of much use to ordinary people, but for this kind of scholar, it is simply an antique, and everyone wants to take a look.

"Hey, it seems that the teacher's taste is still so unique." Wang Wei sighed.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, what does this Wang Wei mean, is it that his appearance is a little frustrated? Yan Shenggong values himself but tastes?

"By the way, aren't you a candidate from Beiping, why don't you take the township test in Beiping, but don't want to come thousands of miles to Nanjing?" After Wang Wei sighed for a while, he asked puzzledly.

Hu Ye didn't know how to answer, could it be because he was remembered by a eunuch? The goods wanted to accept himself as an apprentice, so he blew the wind in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, saying that he was a child of an immortal family, and he was only eight buckets high, so Zhu Yuanzhang issued a holy decree to come to Nanjing for the imperial examination?

I believe it, I guess this Wang Wei will not believe it, what a bizarre story this is, a little doll will receive the holy decree of the emperor's majesty?

"Well, that, Nanjing is an outstanding person, and the kid is suitable for the south, so the kid came here." Hu Ye thought about it for a long time, and had to use Jin Zhong's theory to explain.

"Haha, fortune telling is not credible, but since you have come to Nanjing, you should participate in the imperial examination." Wang Wei laughed, noncommittal to Hu Ye's explanation, and then stood up, "Since the teacher said that you are a talent, I have to test you with a question." ”

After speaking, Wang Wei returned to the table, and when he lifted the brush, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced.

After a moment's effort, Wang Wei stopped his pen and blew on the rice paper below, letting the ink on it air dry.

"This is the old man's upper couplet, you go back and think about it yourself, see if you can make the lower couplet, I hope the teacher is not wrong, you can face this couplet." Wang Wei took the dried couplet, came to Hu Ye, and handed it to Hu Ye.

"Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu." Hu Ye muttered and read the sentences on the couplet, how did he feel so familiar, wasn't it Pu Songling's sentence, why did anyone know it before.

But now is not the time for Hu Ye to be surprised, he knows that this Wang Wei is ostensibly giving himself questions and testing his own knowledge, but he is actually helping himself.

With this couplet, you can't figure out his font, but you can also know his preferences, whether it is majestic or delicate and feminine. Although it is impossible to get close to the examination questions of this imperial examination, there will definitely be some connection, which is the benefit of knowing Yan Shenggong.

"Thank you, Lord Tixue." Hu Ye carefully rolled up the couplet and said respectfully.

"Okay, you go back, study the couplet well, the township test is over, remember to give me the couplet." Wang Wei laughed, and then gave the order to evict the guest.

"The kid quit." As he spoke, Hu Ye respectfully exited the wooden house and walked towards the gate of the Tixue Mansion. (To be continued......)
