In just an instant, Lu You understood everything, the so-called blessing to the soul, a know-it-all, a know-it-all.

Ten years ago, the past with Tang Wan, every small action and every subtle performance told him that she was a handsome girl dressed as a man.

It's a pity that she was young and ignorant, and she couldn't see through her identity as a woman and what she wanted to express.

What's even more ridiculous is that he hasn't thought carefully about it for ten years, why would a male friend give him a phoenix hairpin?

When he knew Tang Wan's identity, Lu You had no choice but to cry, he locked himself in a small room for three whole days, without eating or drinking, just thinking about a question, how should he face this feeling?

It's been ten years, and she should have been married to a wife a long time ago, is it really appropriate to bother at this time?

"Maybe she's forgotten about me a long time ago." Lu You thought so.

His mind was a mess, but from time to time he remembered an easy-to-understand ballad sung by the trialists who came to the town for a visit:

Not to disturb is my last tenderness.

……

In September, he said goodbye to his family and went to Hangzhou alone.

Feng Hai has hidden the secret for so many years and suddenly the truth is revealed, which makes him feel very sour, but for some reason, he is always much more relaxed.

It seems that there is no longer any concern, and the days are getting more and more comfortable day by day, and there is no longer the depressed feeling before, once this depressed feeling disappears, he remembered the lofty ambition he had set up with Tang Wan when he was a teenager, and if she couldn't complete it, he would realize it by himself instead of her.

He seemed to have returned to that high-spirited and enthusiastic age, and quickly made plans for his future, only two paths.

First: If you are lucky enough to win the first place and get the attention of the government, you will naturally enter the officialdom, and if you are fortunate enough to be a local parent official, you will naturally want to seek benefits for the people, and it can be regarded as serving the court and the country;

Second: Winning the champion among tens of millions of scholars is tantamount to crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and he is not absolutely sure of himself, and he may not even be able to enter the siege. This road is not easy to walk, he is going north to Youzhou to join the army, the Southern Song Dynasty is surrounded by wolves, especially Dayuan, from time to time to send a small group of soldiers to invade the land of Youren, he wants to rely on this ability, and the Yuan people bloody battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud, but also live up to the oath that she had made with her when the young man was hot: report to the country, under the peace of the people! What's more, a good man should be like this, so as to show his true character as a hero!

In fact, his heart is more inclined to the second way, coming to Hangzhou to participate in the poetry conference is second, the most important point, in fact, it is for Tang Wan, he does not ask for or dare to meet him, he just wants to be able to take a sneak look, even if it is the last look, this life is enough.

……

Wen Ruoyan and Wen Shi listened to Lu You's story, and they were all heartbroken, for Tang Wan's infatuation, for Lu You's dullness, and for this love without an ending. Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. It's a pity that Shaohua is fleeting and easy to grow old, maybe it is really the last tenderness not to bother.

What Yan Huo'er thought of, the angle was very tricky. She understood why her disguise technique was discovered by Lu You, just because he had suffered a loss in the matter of women dressing up as men, so he would pay special attention to the words and deeds of others, this literary event must have many female talents dressed as men, and unfortunately he was eyeing himself; Another point, why does a great poet favor himself? Thinking of himself dressed as a man aroused his interest, even if he later learned his identity, he still retained a lot of good feelings in his heart, so he said those words in Hua and traveled with him to the present. Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any reason to pay him back.

Of course, breaking the knots and handing over is just a kind of Huo'er's words, 10,000 people will say that Lu You and Yan Huo'er are different from Yunni, but Huo'er doesn't think so, it depends on how you look at this problem, in the literati circle, maybe he is high, but in the world of rivers and lakes, I am not rare to take care of him......

Huo'er's thinking is different from others, it is naturally caused by following Yan Yunxing's side, and after five years of life and death in Dongying, she has naturally formed her own way of thinking about problems and doing things. It's tricky to think about any problem, and you may be able to see a lot of ordinary clues, but it's also a lot less human.

Of course, Huo'er also thinks that Lu You's relationship is a pity, but once some things or people are missed, they can't go back, they can only stay in the depths of their memories and treat them as a dream they had when they were young.

……

September 13th, the poetry conference of the Egret Wenyuan finally came to the protégé of the outer courtyard, Huo'er several people decided to participate in the registration on the fourth day in order to avoid this peak period, the four of them rented three rooms near the Egret Wenyuan, Wen Ruoyan and Wen Shi shared a room, and began to temporarily hold Buddha's feet, only Huo'er and Lu You had a big heart, and did not make the slightest preparation, and the days of chatting about the world every day passed quickly, and four days passed quickly in a blink of an eye.

On the sixteenth day, Wen Ruoyan got up early in the morning, woke up the other three, Huo'er put on his clothes, reluctantly put on a fake face, yawned several times in succession, almost blew his face out, staggered out of the door, looked at the three people who were ready to go, and said: "What time is it, if I'm not in a hurry, I'll sleep for a while......" After speaking, he yawned a few times in a row.

"Brother Yan, it's almost lunch, we may be the last batch......" Wen Ruoyan coaxed.

Huo'er poked his head into the room and looked out the window, the sun was about to rise, and he got up and burst out, knocking Wen Ruoyan hard.

"Let's go! Look at the delay and you will become the champion! Huo'er was angry and went downstairs first.

"You won't be able to become a champion if you sleep for a while......" Wen Ruoyan rubbed her swollen forehead, muttered a sentence in her mouth, and went downstairs.

The four of them had breakfast, and Huo'er's wake-up gas finally dissipated a lot, and this way followed the bustling crowd and slowly moved to the Wenyuankou registration office, thinking that it would be another long wait, but who knew that the four of them only waited for a short time, and then they each reported their names, colleges, and teachers. It turns out that most of the students have already participated in the conference, and today is the last day of the shortlist, and many people are here to see the shortlist that will be posted.

Half an hour later, there were no more students to sign up, and those who missed it didn't have any chances this year. All the people who signed up were led to the other side by a middle-aged teacher, followed him for half an hour, and then passed through a garden before entering the test site through the side gate of the Wenyuan.

This finally fulfilled Huo'er's last wish to visit Hangzhou.

As far as the eye can see, there is a towering mountain peak in front of you, because it resembles a bird leaping in the sky, so it is called Flying Bird Peak, and later the Egret Academy settled in, renamed it Egret Peak, from the peak to the foot of the mountain, there is only one winding mountain path, the peak is the champion pavilion, how to furnish in the pavilion, this is not known, but I want to come to the champion word of the year, good sealing, at most add some weatherproof materials.

And the foot of Egret Peak is much more magnificent than the peak. On the west side of the Academy, it is the main courtyard of the Egret Academy, which covers an extremely wide area and cannot be seen at a glance. On the east side of the Wenyuan, there are exquisite attics next to the West Lake, carved beams and painted buildings, very luxurious places, which is the residence of the ancestors and teachers and disciples of the Egret Academy, and then to the east is the famous Leifeng Tower; From the north side of the bridge all the way to the main entrance of the Wenyuan, you have to pass through a hunting ground, enter the main gate, and there are Confucian Temple, Yasheng Temple, Wenhua Palace, Wenqing Building, Bishi Mansion, Nine Masters Mansion and finally the Egret Wenyuan built by the mountain.

If the whole Egret Wenyuan does not include the building in front of it, only talk about the test site of the academy, it is actually very broad, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate many students to take the exam together, the whole Wenyuan is a square, surrounded by attics, a large courtyard is vacant in the middle, the floor is made of Baiqi stone, the white is bright and dazzling, in the middle of the courtyard is a statue of Confucius Sage, a row of attics due south, there are already many students of the Egret Academy standing on the second floor, they should be one hundred and eight disciples with higher status, enjoy the privilege of watching, Downstairs, there is a row of long tables, where the ten invigilators are located, and in front of the long table there is a small table covered with red cloth, on which is placed a delicate cyan incense burner, which is used to burn incense to count the time.

Huo'er, the last batch of forty-three people, under the guidance of the teacher, divided into six rows and eight rows, each scattered, only a short time, the teacher gave an order, there were students to push up a desk and short stool with the scent of sandalwood, the floor was smooth, and it was effortless to push it up, to be pushed in front of each student for the exam, on the second floor of the south building, and finally slowly walked down the nine teachers, tall and low, fat and thin, men and women, old and young, all wearing a scholarly white robe, embroidered with a line of egrets on the cuffs of the robe, five on the left hand, four on the right hand, There was a layer of black veil on the outside of the white robe, and the nine people sat firmly at the long table, and the young teacher who was in the middle of the lead nodded slightly at the middle-aged teacher, and the middle-aged teacher ordered one of his disciples to distribute pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after this time, it took a lot of time.

All the things for the exam have been prepared, and the young teacher stood up and said aloud to the students present: "I, surnamed Zhang, named Chuan Xiao, am your chief invigilator and chief judge, but after all, the Wenyuan Poetry Conference is different from the imperial examination, and it can't make you promoted and rich, so you don't have to be nervous, relax, just like treating the general exam in the academy on weekdays, then today's exam questions are different from yesterday, after I finish the question, burn incense time, a stick of incense time limit, Those who do not finish will be eliminated directly, do you hear clearly? ”

The scholars below said in unison: "I heard ...... clearly"

The teacher paused and continued: "Okay, I'll only say the topic once, listen carefully, today's topic is - why did you participate in the poetry conference of the Egret Wenyuan on the last day, play at will, and compose a poem, lyric or song. The timer begins! ”
