The young man looked at the servant with bright eyes, bowed his head slightly, and followed the servant to the alley.

The young man held a golden folding fan in his hand, and his eyes looked faintly at the things in the market, and as far as he could see, an ancient house courtyard, suddenly saw a middle-aged scholar trembling in a simple stall on the corner of the street. The young man must have left home to come to the capital to take the exam, because he had no money and could only make a living by ghostwriting and selling essays, but the capital was a gathering place for the top talents and collectors of the dynasty, how could he easily look at the articles of scholars who had not even obtained fame, and how could he fall in love with the poems and essays of these strangers?

The young man saw that the scholar's elegant hands were clasping his arms tightly, as if he had exhausted the greatest strength in his life, and his feet were stomping back and forth rapidly, trying to warm up, but how could the thin coarse cloth clothes and the straw sandals that had rotted a small hole resist the cold wind of this cold winter? The young man's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he couldn't bear it, so he came to the stall generously, not knowing what his intentions were.

When the scholar saw someone coming, he thought he was buying calligraphy and paintings, and immediately forgot the torture of the cold, and his eyes exuded an incomparable heat, the kind of heat that could get money. Although he is not the kind of person who is greedy for material desires, in order to make a living, he has to rely on his own advantages, the method that he is most likely to earn money to make a living. Life is unfortunate, the harder you work, the poorer you become.

"Childe, look at the poetry and articles."

The boy heard the desire to survive in his words, and he smiled quietly, quiet and beautiful, making people feel very relieved.

"Can you write a poem for Childe?"

"Inscription?" The scholar was very puzzled, and after thinking about it carefully, isn't this just not giving money? His face immediately became a little ugly, it was really a big deal to see the excitement, he was already hungry, and he was very indignant when he thought about it, but how could a scholar only have this measure? So he didn't speak again, wanting to hear what the boy had to say.

"Yes!" The young man smiled with his eyebrows, "I will borrow a poem inscribed on Childe's paper and ink and give it to Childe." ”

The scholar didn't want to agree, this paper was bought by himself with his last savings, if he couldn't even sell a poem, he would put paper and ink into it? Alas, forget it, I can't make much money anyway, do you still care about this piece of paper?

"In that case, then please write down." The scholar laid out the paper and studied ink for the boy.

The boy lifted the brush, and when the ink was evenly stained, the bones were clear and slender, and the right hand moved to the paper with the brush, and the wrist rotated vigorously. I saw the tip of the pen dancing on the paper, such as the dragon dancing and the snake jumping, the horse galloping, the eagle spreading its wings, the rabbit jumping and the fish swimming.

The young man put away his pen, smiled with satisfaction, and looked at a piece of paper with a poem written on it next to him, "Is it okay to exchange this pair?" ”

"Okay, Childe, please." The scholar changed his face just now, it seems that he doesn't know the goods, don't look at this young man's young age, but his strength is extraordinary.

While he was thinking, the boy had already asked the servant to pick up the poem and leave.

The scholar immediately picked up the piece of paper and looked at it.

"I was supposed to perch on the branches with my wings, how could I enter the hermitage empty-handed?

If the mind is not high but still firm, can it not be seen with the eyes of a bird?

If you don't eat crazy rice, you don't want to be without a wound.

Take care of the tiles on your own house, how can you look at the eaves of others?

Seeing the earth dog in the blue sky, holding the clumsy Buddha painting the world.

Studying in a different place and relying on the elderly, shouldn't Qin be shocked by the money in the black room?

I am a melancholy guest in the world, and you are like a remnant of flowers and willows.

is not better than Du Gong Toad Guiqiao, just because of his livelihood. ”

The scholar admired while reading, and his eyebrows were full of admiration, and when the scholar saw the payment below, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly looked in the direction where the boy left, but found that the boy and the servant had long been gone, and their arrival just now was as unreal as a dream, but this poem was indeed on his own paper. The scholar was grateful, and excitedly ran to the stall and knelt down in the direction where the boy left, kowtowed several times, and prayed: "Benefactor, benefactor, I hope the benefactor's whole family will be safe." ”

A few days later, the scholars came one after another, and the customers came to admire the person who wrote his poems, and if you bought one of his poems, you could see the real handwriting of the young man. The scholar had enough money, stayed in an inn, studied until late at night, and finally passed the top prize, but because his status was still low, he did not dare to easily thank the young man's mansion, he worked hard, just to have the ability to thank him one day.

Since the age of five, the first rooster crow every day will be called up by a teacher to read and practice calligraphy. This teacher is highly respected, erudite and talented, and is known as Mr. Xu.

The young Ama invited Mr. Xu to the house as a guest, but he inadvertently saw the young man in the study learning to read books like an adult, and he shook his head and looked like a person.

Mr. Xu sighed with emotion and felt that this young man was a material that could be made, so he proposed to teach the young man knowledge. Mr. Xu taught the teenager that the book must be read 100 times and memorized 100 times, the words must be written 100 times, the words are more than 1,000 words a day, and a painting is made every 20 years.

The young man is also very obedient, very smart, and does not go out often, but there are many visitors to the house, and the guests are very surprised to see the young man who reciting and dancing the sword in the pavilion, and he is full of praise for him.

They said to the outside world that the young man was very good-looking, not like a layman in the world, with a high level of cultivation and a lot of knowledge, and slowly the boy became a legendary figure in the capital.

When he was fourteen years old, Mr. Xu said to him, "The teacher is responsible, and you are vast." Then Mr. Xu asked the young Ama and said, "I can't teach ...... below."

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he left the house and became the teacher of the student supervisor, but the young man still had time to go to the student supervisor to find Mr. Xu, listen to his class, and discuss knowledge with him.

The young man still crows and rises, and he falls and is peaceful, getting up early to read in the morning, lying down and reading at night, and under the teaching of Mrs. Wu, he learns to ride and shoot.

Wu Taifu is the crown prince, and he usually guides the riding and archery for the prince of the current dynasty.

It's all so ordinary and quiet, but he doesn't feel that his life is boring, but he feels very fulfilling, he has heard rumors outside, and they all say that he is a genius, but only he knows what he got in exchange for his poetry name, and what he got in exchange for talent, it was a whole ten years.

The young man was led by the servant into a mansion, which was solemn and magnificent, and there was a two-character plaque hanging at the main entrance, with the word "Washington".

The three buildings in the middle road are the main body of the mansion, one is the main hall, the second is the apse, the third is the extension building, and the last part of the mansion is the garden.

This is the mansion of Hua Ran, one of the four elders of the dynasty, and this young man is his son Hua Rongchang, who is sixteen years old.

Hua Rongchang was born smart, and he likes to learn, not like his son-in-law to play and play, so he has practiced good martial arts and memorized good poems, and he has been the pride of Hua Ran since he was a child.

Then there is his appearance, the longer he grows, the more outstanding he is, his eyes are bright and clear, and his facial features are exquisite, which is unmatched in Beijing. However, the crown prince in the palace is on par with him. The crown prince is known as Changjue, although he is as old as Rong Chang, but he is already quite good at governing the country, righteous and kind, decisive and decisive, and will definitely be a good emperor in the future.
