Chapter 263: The Day of the Classics?
Lintian recalled today, it was the day when the Daxuan classics were announced, and it was also today, so that Lintian had a lot of memories.
may eventually change from an ordinary person to no longer ordinary.
The morning light in the capital still comes very early, although summer has always been like this, but today is different, almost everyone deliberately got up a little early, along the main road leading to the palace in the capital, lined up in a long line.
Lintian was very reluctant to be called up by Tuofei, last night may have been really tired, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, after a simple freshening, then fell asleep, did not even eat dinner, until Fangcai, was woken up by Tuofei's bluntness, after a whole night's rest, the tired body was relieved.
However, Lintian always has such a habit, no matter when, he feels listless, even if he has entered the literary cultivation yesterday. At this time, he was hallmarkedly half-open, and was very reluctantly pulled by Tuofei to the streets of the capital, yawning while being driven by Tuofei.
"I said, Young Master Tuofei, what are you doing early in the morning? You haven't even eaten breakfast, so you woke me up, I just suffered a serious trauma yesterday, including psychological, don't you think he should let me have a good rest?" said Lintian weakly.
Tuofei turned his head, his eyes were shining, diametrically opposed to Lintian's temperament, at this time, anyone who saw him could see it, obviously excited, Tuofei smiled: "Haha, Brother Lintian, didn't you say that you can think of it? Originally, I hesitated, but thinking of Brother Lintian's state of mind is so open-minded and optimistic, I finally decided to bring you here, hehe, and I'm afraid that if I don't call you, you will regret it." ”
Lintian looked helpless. I thought in my heart: 'Is this just shooting myself in the foot?' and then looked at Tuofei and said, "Hehe, you don't talk nonsense there, I don't know you yet?" It's not a good thing to come out with you! Declare in advance, I won't go to that kind of place!"
Tuofei smiled: "Haha, Brother Lintian thinks too much, isn't it? Am I Tuofei that kind of person? Besides, how can I go early in the morning to drink flower wine, you are inexperienced when you see it!"
Lintian glanced at Tuofei, "Nonsense, of course I'm inexperienced, I'm not like you!" What the hell is going on?" asked Lintian.
In fact, he had already noticed on the way here, and there seemed to be something special happening today, because early in the morning, the streets of the capital were already full of people, and most of them were scholars and literati, and they seemed to be walking towards the 'Xuanwu Gate' of the palace.
Tuofei looked at Lintian with a blank face, and said with a smile: "Hehe." I knew it. Well, let me tell you, today is also a special time. Because today is the day when the "Great Xuan Classics" is announced. ”
""Great Xuan Classics"!" When Lin Tian heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he understood, and finally understood why so many people went to the 'Xuanwu Gate' to line up.
June is the month when the "Great Xuan Classics" is screened and included, and after two quarters, it will be closed at the end of the month. Announcing the poems of the new quarter, "Daxuan Classics" is the only classic approved by the imperial court, if the poems can be compiled here, it is very powerful.
The latest "Daxuan Classics" every quarter, the imperial court only printed 1,000 copies of the original. Of course, the price is not low, first come, first served, if ordinary people want to see it, then they have to wait for a while, wait for the merchant to get the original from here, and after going back, after a large number of copies, so that many civilians can see it.
But this is a very common phenomenon, and no one has any objections, so it has always been this process.
After a while, Lintian and Tuofei came to a place not far from the Xuanwu Gate, and before they arrived, they could see that the Xuanwu Gate at this time was already crowded, and in the center of the middle road, there was a long queue like a dragon, all waiting to buy the "Great Xuandian Book".
Lintian looked at the sea of people in front of him and said, "Brother Tuofei, you won't buy a copy today, look at this long dragon-like line, when will you be in line? I'm afraid that even if you are in line, it will have been sold out!"
Tuofei nodded and said, "Since you're here, of course you have to buy it, Brother Lintian, why are you so careless? Don't you know? You have also been selected for the "Great Xuan Classics" this time!"
Hearing Tuofei's words, Lin Tiancai reacted, it seems that he really has been selected, "Crossing Zero Ding Yang" is beyond doubt, because it is the national fortune poem of Zhenguo, I remember that when I was in Cangzhou, Xu Hanlin had already said that "Sigh Qingming" would also be selected, so in other words, I have two poems today!
"I remembered when you said that, hehe, since there are poems selected, then I really want to buy a copy and keep it as a souvenir!" Lin Tian said.
Tuofei nodded proudly and said, "That's right, that's the truth, how about it, it's right to get you up, right?"
Lin Tian scolded with a smile: "Okay! As long as you are reasonable, hehe, I don't know your dirty thoughts? I remember that during the 'Qingming Literary Society', your song "Sigh Qingming" also seemed to have reached the 'realm of fame', and when you took the Xiucai exam, didn't you also have a good poem? I think with your background, after Xiucai, it shouldn't be difficult for a poem to be included in the "Daxuan Classics", right?"
"Forehead ......" Tuofei's original smug expression suddenly seemed to be a little embarrassed, perhaps because Lintian saw through his thoughts, so he was a little embarrassed for a while.
In fact, Tuofei already knew that his song "Sigh Qingming" was also selected, so he came here today and wanted to show off well, of course, this kind of thing, Lintian is naturally indispensable around him, so he had to call Lintian over in the morning.
Tuofei said embarrassedly: "This ...... Hehe, everything is a misunderstanding, hahaha, hungry, don't say much, hurry up and line up, you can't buy it if you go to play!"
To say that this "Da Xuan Classics" is actually very popular among literati in the Great Xuan Kingdom, in addition to the excellent poems on it, this is also the fastest and most comprehensive news 'reading'.
"Daxuan Classics" is selected once a quarter, updated every six months, and updated every year, almost all in the country, no matter at any time and place. As long as there are talented people who stand out, good works, poems, or academic articles, almost all of them will be published on it.
Therefore, if you want to understand the talents in Daxuan's country, what talents are there in this year. As long as you look at the characters selected in the "Great Xuan Classics", almost all of them will know, and if you have a certain realm, you can know from them by looking at their poems and articles, and even the future of these people.
In the eyes of many literati, this "Great Xuan Classics" is even more precious. It is also a pleasure to be able to appreciate these excellent works and learn something at the same time.
At the end of June, the weather has entered the sunset, and the noon sun is not just hot, perhaps it should be in harmony with the atmosphere of the capital at this time. It's a bit of a hot feeling.
Lintian held the baked cake he had just bought in his hand, his eyes half-open. Biting on his own, he felt a little impatient, although he was still used to eating these stall snacks, but whoever eats baked cakes under the scorching sun at noon, I'm afraid not many people are willing.
At the moment his face was black. I regret a little in my heart that I agreed to Tuofei to line up, to be honest, even if I can't buy it today, after waiting for a while, it's the same to buy it from a bookseller. It's not the original book, but at least you don't have to suffer this sin. Lintian didn't know what Tuofei thought, so he had to come over and show off.
Tuofei was on the side, seemingly not finding Lintian's discomfort, and at the same time feeling good about himself in a standard literati pose, he deliberately wore a white scholarly coat today, his crown hair was neatly combed, and the three exaggerated jade pendants were still around his waist.
He straightened his waist, his left hand was elegantly turned behind his back, and his right hand was gently clenched into a fist, across his abdomen, although it felt a little stiff, but Tuofei stood here without smiling. At the first glance, it can really attract the attention of some people, and the whole feeling is really that there are some 'signs' of a humble gentleman.
To tell the truth, Tuofei's appearance is not bad, since he was a child, he has a fine coat and food, oily hair and powdered face, very good skin, a towering nose bridge, and big peach blossom eyes, although he laughs obscenely, but when he looks at the board, he is still the favorite object of many ladies, but the problem of 'life style' is too bad, so Prime Minister Tuo Cheng has not set him up for a long time.
Lintian speechlessly glanced at Tuofei, who was 'not moving', and really couldn't cry or laugh at what he was doing now, swallowed a mouthful of baked cakes, and said: "Brother Tuofei, to be honest, I have to admire your courage, but I'm just a little unclear, aren't you hot?"
Hearing Lintian's question, Tuofei's left eyebrow jumped a few times, and then he responded with a stiff smile: "Hehe, Brother Lintian doesn't know, I'm also forced, my father said, if I don't change my image in everyone's hearts, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry a wife in the future, so today is a rare opportunity!"
Tuofei swept the surroundings and continued: "Hehe, Brother Lintian doesn't know, this "Great Xuan Classics" is something that everyone loves to read, so those who came today, in addition to some official eunuchs, there must be many big families, royal relatives and relatives, although some did not come in person, but they must have sent people to line up to buy books!"
Lintian looked at Tuofei and said, "So, what about your current ...... What does it matter?"
The corners of Tuofei's mouth raised, and he said proudly: "Of course it matters, I have been selected into the "Great Xuan Classics", and I will definitely be in the limelight and all eyes will be on me in the future, this is my chance to turn over, hehehe, you see me today, gentle and elegant, humble gentleman, as long as this image is spread, it will naturally not be difficult for me to marry a wife in the future, hahaha, I don't have this trick?"
Hearing Tuofei's explanation, Lintian almost choked to death after eating baked cakes, and sighed helplessly in his heart, "Alas, is this the ...... in the memory of his previous life?"
Looking at Tuofei who was pretending, Lintian said: "I said Brother Tuofei, don't you really think that Jiuguang can turn over with your 'transformation' today? Why do I think it's a little difficult, you playboy must have been ingrained in a long time, right?"
"Uh...... What about the deep-rooted, I must turn back Tuofei, Brother Lintian doesn't know, my father has clearly told me, if I really don't change it, he will cut off my 'grain and grass', if I don't have money, won't I be finished in the future? I'm afraid it's even difficult to cultivate Wenxiu!"
"Hmph, I think you're afraid that you won't have the money to drink the flower bar! I have to admit that your ability to put gold on your body is one of the best!"
Tuofei smiled awkwardly, "Those who know me, Brother Lin!" ”
"Alas~!" Lintian sighed, shook his head helplessly, he really didn't have anything to do about Tuofei, to say that he has no heart and lungs, no learning and no skills, many times he understands a lot of things, but to say that he has great ambitions, a gentleman, but anyone who sees his past virtues will not have the feeling of a gentleman and a literati.
At this time, there were more and more people in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and the queue was getting longer and longer, and the atmosphere was like a festival, no less than the Qingming Cultural Club and the Xiucai exam. Finally finished eating the baked cakes, Lin Tian looked around boredly, observing these literati in the capital.
Although Lintian has entered Wenxiu, he can really feel the luck, but after all, he has not really passed the teaching of Wenxiu teacher, so many times, it is just his own longing and conjecture, even in the National Fortune Palace, what Cheng Ying told him, he can only understand probably, many things, he has no real concept.
However, since the opening of luck, Lintian can feel the fluctuations of the surrounding luck, which is an indescribable force, and it seems that between a certain medium, the luck can represent or change many things. But to say what this is, Lintian can't describe it.
Lintian knows, although he knows little about it now, but sooner or later he will have the opportunity to know, and really find his 'teacher', aside from these trivial troubles and unknowns, Lintian still found some interesting things, that is, his vision of people and things has changed.
In 'Qingshan City' before, he and Tuofei mentioned 'Xiangren', and at that time, Lintian just sighed casually, thinking that it would be good to just observe carefully, but now he can feel the connection of luck, so his view is different, which he also found on the way here.
Lin Tian casually looked at the two people talking opposite, one of them was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a gray long robe, his figure was quite well-proportioned, although he looked quite neutral, but his eyes seemed to be a little sloppy, seeing that he was holding a folding fan in his hand, he was quite elegant, and he should also be a scholar.
The other person is dressed in an ordinary cyan cloth shirt, dressed very casually, compared to the previous person, it seems to be a little inferior, and his appearance is not very neutral, but his eyes are much brighter than the person next to him. At this time, the two of them were talking very happily, and in the eyes of the people around them, they were not very conspicuous.
Such a stark contrast between the two, if the former Lintian, or ordinary people see it, they will definitely say that the status or luck of a person with a folding fan in his hand and a decent appearance must be higher than that of another person, which is a very normal person's opinion.
But now it is obvious that the casually dressed man in green clothes, although his appearance is not as good as that of gray clothes, but judging from the 'weather' in his eyes, this person's luck must be higher than him, and his future development will probably be stronger than that of the gray man.
Lintian can really feel the size of their own luck exuded by these two people from the 'weather' of these two people's eyes, it is obvious that they are not Wen Xiu, and they can't control their own luck, but after Lintian is lucky, he can really feel the actual luck.
So he knew that now he could roughly distinguish the strength and weakness of the luck exuded by 'ordinary people'. (To be continued.) )
