Volume 1 Three Lives Chapter 185 Wang Su

Two guards hurriedly greeted them and led them all the way into the mansion.

Bachelor Wang's original name was Wang Su, and he was a famous Confucian in the literary world in this imperial capital, and he was regarded as a great god in the literary world of the entire Caixing Kingdom.

At this moment, the great god was in his own tea room, seriously boiling a pot of tea, and the expression on his face was a little solemn.

Chen Bai followed into the mansion, looked at the surrounding arrangements, and couldn't help but have a good impression of this king.

Although the mansion looks magnificent from the outside, when you actually come in, you find that the decoration is in a very simple state, but simplicity does not mean that it is dilapidated, everything is clean, and there is nothing ruined. It shows that the owner of this house is honest and careful.

The mansion was actually not large, and the guards led the few of them to the outside of the tea room quickly.

In fact, the so-called tea room is just a very ordinary room, but Wang Su always drinks tea in this place on weekdays, so he called it a tea room.

Outside the tea room, a guard stepped forward a few steps very respectfully, knocked on the door gently, and said, "Master, the little prince is here with his friend." ”

"Please come in. There was a response from inside the door.

Hearing Wang Su's response, the guards hurriedly pushed them in, turned sideways and motioned for them to enter.

Nodding, Yusheng took the lead and walked in, and Chen Bai and Phantom Yin also followed when they saw this. As for the knights who accompanied them, they silently stayed outside, lined up on both sides like a door god.

Entering the room, Chen Bai saw Wang Su in the room at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

I saw that Wang Su was an old man who was close to the age of sixtieth birthday and had white hair. But the spirit seems to be excellent, and the eyes are bright. He was wearing plain white clothes, although he looked a little shabby, but he was still very clean.

After seeing a few people come in, Wang Su's face squeezed out a little smile and said: "The little prince can come to the cold house, which really makes the cold house shine. Who are these two?"

"Oh, this is Brother Xu, that is Miss Qingxue, they are all friends of Xiao Wang. I have admired Wang for a long time, so today Xiao Wang will let them come to see each other for a long time. The sound of the rain hurriedly continued.

Chen Bai's face turned green when he heard this, he always felt that there was something wrong with Yusheng's words, and after thinking about it a little, he knew what was wrong, but in the end he still nodded, arched his hand at Wang Su and said: "Xu Xian, I have been fascinated by Wang for a long time, and I finally saw it today, and the younger generation is very honored." ”

Phantom Yin on the side also bowed and said, "The little woman Qingxue has seen the king's family." ”

Nodding casually at Phantom Yin, Wang Su turned his head to look at Chen Bai, and said with a somewhat interested look on his face: "Oh? You call yourself so much to me, aren't you also a reader?"

"The younger generation is not talented, and they don't dare to act in front of the king's family, just skimming some poetry books. Facing Wang Su, Chen Bai looked very respectful. This is somewhat related to when he was in Huaxia, when one of his Chinese studies teachers was exactly the same as Wang Su in front of him, so it was inevitable that the scene would be touched, and the two seemed to be extremely cordial.

Seeing him so modest, Wang Su's eyes became even more satisfied, and he smiled and said, "Don't be arrogant or impatient, good! Very good! Xu Xian, have you participated in the imperial examination?"

Chen Bai bowed down and arched his hand when he heard this, and was about to answer, when the rain on the side shouted: "Okay, okay, Wang, shouldn't you let us sit down before you chat." Also, Brother Xu has participated in the imperial examination, or this year's Xie Yuan!"

Hearing the sound of the rain suddenly snatching the words, Wang Su's face was slightly displeased, but he still straightened up and said, "It's my negligence, please sit down." ”

This time, the three of them saluted at the same time, and then each found a place to sit down.

After sitting down, Wang Su recalled what Yusheng said before, and said with some surprise: "Xu Xian, are you this year's Xie Yuan?"

"Exactly. Nodding, Chen Bai hurriedly replied.

Glancing at him in shock, Wang Su said slowly: "I remember that this year's exam question in Caixing County is poems related to bamboo, I don't know what poems Xu Xian has written? Can you write it again for me to observe?"

"It's not about observation, and the younger generations are also graffiti, which is nothing. Since everyone wants the juniors to write it again, the juniors will obey their fate. Smiling slightly, Chen Bai said very modestly.

"Okay, bring a pen and paper!" Wang Su shouted and ordered.

I don't know if this teahouse is very close to the study, not long after his words fell, a family with pen, ink, paper and inkstone walked into the tearoom.

"Put it in front of Xu Xian. Pointing at Chen Bai, Wang Su commanded.

The family members who received the order quickly put everything on the table in front of Chen Bai, and then retreated.

Looking at the almost solidified ink in the inkstone, Chen Bai felt a little helpless, could it be that the people here are all so calligraphy? Immediately arched his hand and said: "The younger generation is used to using thinner ink, so I still have to study the ink for a while, and I ask everyone to wait patiently." ”

Nodding, Wang Su readily agreed. Although most people in the country of Caixing like to use ink that is close to solidification, there are still people who like to use ink after all, which is not a strange thing.

Taking advantage of Chen Bai's time to study ink, Yusheng hurriedly said: "Everyone, my father has been talking about you a lot recently, and before leaving, my father asked me to give you a message. He said that the king should not be in a hurry, and that everything would be resolved when he went to the imperial city at the end of the year. ”

When he said this, Wang Su's face changed suddenly, and he glanced at Chen Bai and Phantom Yin with some vigilance, but seeing that both of them had no reaction, and both of them were brought by the sound of the rain, he relieved his heart and said with a smile: "In that case, then I will wait for the Lord of the Rain." Then, the two chatted without a word, and Wang Su was obviously much happier.

Chen Bai quietly studied the ink on the side, and when he was almost done, he picked up a pen and wrote on rice paper.

Wang Su, who was chatting here, saw that he had finally started writing, so he hurriedly stopped and looked at him intently.

Soon, the bamboo stone appeared on the rice paper again.

After writing, Chen Bai put down the pen, gently blew a few breaths on the rice paper, and saluted Wang Su: "The juniors have finished writing, and I invite you to take a look." ”

With that, he stood up, picked up the rice paper, and respectfully handed it to Wang Su.

With a serious look on the face of the rice paper, Wang Su stood up and carefully watched the contents of the paper.

"Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ... Good poem!" After reading it softly and being silent for a while, Wang Su couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

Then, he turned his head to look at Chen Bai, and his tone changed a little: "Xu Xiaoyou is young, he has such profound literary attainments, presumably he must be a Taidou-level figure in the future, it is really terrifying!"

A little embarrassed to wave his hand, Chen Bai smiled and said: "The king is serious, Xu Xian is just a flash of inspiration, and he doesn't deserve such a high evaluation from the king." ”

"Hahaha! I just said that I was scribbling, and now I say that it was a flash of inspiration, you, you! Don't call me anything, for the sake of me being a few years older than you, the senior voice is already me in the big way!~" Wang Su laughed, and his mood seemed extremely happy.

"Then the junior is respectful and might as well obey his fate. Chen Bai smiled, and he also looked very happy.

"I'll try it after a while, do you want to get a huiyuan?" smiled, Wang Su looked at Chen Bai with a smile, and there was a bit of inquiry in his tone.

Stunned by his words, Chen Bai said with some doubts: "Naturally, I want to, but this exam is all about strength and luck, what does the predecessor mean by this?"

Hearing him say this, Wang Su's face showed a somewhat mysterious expression, and he shook his head and said, "You are still too young." Although with your literary talent, there is absolutely no problem with the middle lift. But the exam is different from the previous exam, it doesn't mean that your writing is good, you have to be famous enough. ”

"What is the reason?" Chen Bai was a little confused, although he didn't plan to test this thing in the first place, but when he heard this full of dark box operation, he felt that his head was a little big.

"Hehe, it doesn't make sense. It's been so many years since the country was founded, and some things are inevitable. If you are not mentally prepared now, then I will tell you about it here, lest you lose it anymore. Smiling slightly, Wang Su put the rice paper in his hand on the desk, picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

......

Chen Bai was not a fool, he heard Wang Su's meaning at a glance, and immediately his good impression of the old man in front of him faded a lot.

After a while, he sighed slowly and said, "That's it, it seems that no matter where it is, this kind of thing will exist." ”

"It's good that you understand, but I can provide you with a way to increase your fame, but whether you can achieve it or not depends on your own strength. Wang Su breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile on his face again.

His words rekindled Chen Bai's interest, and he couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the predecessor said." ”

"In the next few days, I will hold a poetry meeting in Zuixianlou, and most of the talents from all counties and young talents in the imperial city will participate in the time when the time comes, so this is a good opportunity, if you can grasp it, and then you can play better when you try, the position of this session of Huiyuan is almost at your fingertips." It's the most decent and fair opportunity I can think of for you. I am soft-spoken, but I still can't change the current trend. Wang Su said with a slight smile.

Chen Bai glanced at him with some gratitude, and said respectfully: "The senior's words are serious, the seniors can create such an opportunity for the juniors, the juniors are already grateful, and the juniors will definitely live up to the expectations of the seniors!"
