Chapter 39: I Have a Dream
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be a little moved when he looked at the young man's sincere expression in front of him.
But he didn't dare to be sure, but still frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
And what does he want to do?
"Once, I also had a dream, which is ridiculous to say, I once aspired to be above ten thousand people under one person, and then Taizu abolished the prime minister; With it, it was not only my ideals that were abolished, but also my home. Song Yi's voice changed from emotional to gradually flattened, and slowly became a reminiscence of the past.
"I am not from a humble background, since the moment I was born, I have borne the surname Song, Song Lian's Song, it seems that I should be destined to be a literati and ink writer; But it just so happens that I like to study, I have been in Yingtianfu for many years, and I have also seen the prosperity of the Forbidden City...... All this makes me yearn for it, and it makes me feel that the literati and ink artist are not bad, and the prime minister above the ten thousand people under that person, why can't I be the prime minister? ”
But the story didn't go as planned...... That night, my life changed. ”
"My father hurriedly pressed me under the bed and told me not to come out, I was very obedient, so I survived, but I also witnessed the group of people under the bed, and the group of strangers rushed into my house and grabbed all my relatives."
"After a long, long time, my grandfather found me, he took me, and left Yingtianfu, he said, in the future, only the two of us will depend on each other."
On the way, he always said that I was full, and then quietly watched me "feast" on white steamed buns. But I know that my grandfather went to work and begged for it, and he was reluctant to eat it. Because of the work, my grandfather's health has not been good, we originally said that he would rest when he arrived in Shudi, but he didn't, he didn't hold on to ...... went to rest alone, and he was finally "selfish" again. Song Yi finished this sentence with a smile, laughing loudly and indulgently, like his tears, indulgent flowing.
No one spoke, no one interrupted, everyone was immersed in the story, or reminiscing about the story that belonged to them.
"But I was lucky, the day after my grandfather left, Brother Chun'er found me, he took me back to Fengyang, and I also had a new place to live, and I had just turned ten years old that year." Song Yi wiped away his tears and said with relief.
"Later, I was still studying seriously, after all, my grandfather told me that as long as I worked hard, everything would be fine. I also feel that learning is a relatively fair world, hard work, there will definitely be results, at the age of fifteen, I was admitted to the child's examination, I am even more convinced that hard work is useful. ”
"Later, I took the test all the way, always thinking about getting a name for myself and showing it to my grandfather, you say, he can see it, right? But ah, why didn't the examiner even look at the paper I worked so hard to write in the Taoist exam, and why didn't he even give me a chance to retake the exam? I've been working hard, but why is it someone else who is famous? I've watched them become talented, lifted, but I've always been a child......"
"I just learned that it's a gap between people......"
"But I still have dreams, I'm not reconciled, I want to fight, so I went to write poems, they said, poets can also test fame, I believed, I locked myself up for half a month, wrote several poems......"
“……”
“……”
Song Yi walked from the stage to the stage under the gaze of everyone, and began to talk serious nonsense.
Because here, no one knows his details at all.
"I took the poems I wrote and ran all over the poetry clubs of my hometown, but I was rejected by my family...... But I'm not reconciled, I broke my head with someone, and I also had to go to chant poetry, and a few sons who passed by saw that I was pitiful, so they took me in, and I finally had a chance......"
"I don't dare to eat a mouthful of food, I'm afraid that people will drive me away, I wait, wait, wait, I heard someone call me in a daze, I was in a hurry to go up, and I fell straight to the bottom, but what kind of face do I want, I hurriedly took the poem manuscript and read it, for fear that I would be driven down a second late......"
"I read one, two, three songs, I didn't dare to waste a little time, but no one spoke, seeing that no one was chasing me, I licked my face again, and read it greedily, and then a group of people rushed up, they threw me in the air, called me a little poet, I just knew, I seem to be famous, and most importantly, from beginning to end, they didn't hit me, I was so happy."
"I'm also starting to look forward to the next day's release of the rankings......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, Master Song." Everyone said in unison.
Hearing this, everyone also knew everything that happened later, looking at Song Yi's complicated eyes and pitiful and helpless appearance, they couldn't bear to listen to it.
But how could Song Yi stop, he didn't listen to everyone's admonitions.
Word by word, to the end.
"I started from humble, my life is like an ant, but I yearn for the light, I hope I can finally shine, I hope I can be like a moth to a fire, I hope I can lose my light......"
"Understand, applause~"
……
For a while, everyone in the room had been infected by Song Yi, with red eyes and applauding excitedly.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think of the old man who was attached to His Majesty's side every day, and he had to talk non-stop every time, and even His Majesty couldn't do anything about him.
He once felt that the old man was so "difficult" and so annoying.
But when he raised his head and looked at the familiar face in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
And under that melancholy and helpless eyes, there seems to be a longing, a desire to be recognized.
"If there's anything you need help with, I'll do my best." Jiang Zhen couldn't help but soften his heart and said with concern.
Song Yi didn't speak, just shook his head with a smile, and said to everyone:
"My story continues, and besides, I've already taken that step, haven't I?"
With that, Song Yi took a deep breath, and an even crazier plan seemed to be circulating in his mind...... Circling ......
He couldn't help but ask softly, "Yes... Alcohol? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Long rushed out with red eyes, "Don't rob me, don't rob me." ”
After a while, he walked in with two large vats.
"I send you a word, if you don't have a will, there is nothing you can do in the world, and the wine will be poured!" Song Yi picked up the bowl of wine and said hoarsely in his throat, with a trembling sound in his voice.
"Good!"
"After drinking this wine, I hope that everyone can really treat each other as brothers." Song Yi laughed loudly, and his emotions seemed to come up like that.
"Respectfully! To the brothers! ”
"Good!" The crowd also laughed out loud and said hello again.
The sudden applause also rang out non-stop.
"From now on...... That's ...... at this moment."
"Perhaps, in the future, we will eventually face all kinds of difficulties and tests."
"Perhaps, there will be many unknowns waiting for us."
"Perhaps, we will still suffer failures, fall into a trough, and be unable to extricate ourselves......"
Song Yi unconsciously stood on the high platform again, stepped on the table, and stood on the peak, with an indescribable surging feeling in his heart.
"Perhaps, this me... Ahem... In fact, it's just a big fool, only empty words and big words, what advice and strategies, what poems and songs are copied, and even, the person standing in front of you is not the real me, and even, I have always had a trace of uneasiness and remorse in my heart, after all, you have a promising future, and you have a bright and beautiful future......"
Then, Song Yi couldn't help but lower his head and glanced at everyone present, "Even, I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to do this." ”
Looking at Song Yi's enthusiastic gaze, everyone felt that the blood in their bodies was about to burst out.
One by one's faces were even redder, wanting to answer Song Yi's denial of himself, but he still held back his restless heart.
"But I will do my best to make up for this imperfection little by little...... I know that each of you has a dream, and I know that dreams are precious. It is precisely because I know and I understand that I will do my best in the future so that we can have a smoother ...... on the road of chasing our dreams."
Song Yi's emotions surged up completely, and he poured another cup and drank it all.
Zhao Long below was also like being beaten with chicken blood, shouting, "Understand, applause!" Drink! ”
"Drink!" Everyone said in unison.
At this time, Song Yi's smile also poured out from the bottom of his heart.
"Although, I may be a little self-conscious......"
Although, I don't have much talent ......."
"Perhaps, the future will eventually be dark and there is little hope......"
"But...... In any case, remember this day, remember our day, because on this day, you and I are together, supporting each other, and opening our dreams. ”
"Respect, dreams! Respectfully, tomorrow! ”
After saying this, everyone unanimously picked up their wine glasses, waiting for Song Yi to say that.
"Understood, applause!"
