Chapter 2 The spiritual spring is changing, and the heart is fruitful
Yang Youqing didn't ask much, and immediately rushed out to greet the next person.
Shen Dong came to the house with him and Shen Lang, so naturally he didn't need to hire people, but Yang Youqing brought a lot of them when he came, so he didn't think that he would use them.
When the people heard that Shen Lang was going to the academy to extract the heart fruit, they all looked strange.
Even Shen Donglai was a little dazed, his stupid son can still write poetry?
The Shen family counts up to three generations, and there is not even one who can read, although Shen Lang is literate, but it is only limited to literacy.
"I'm all stunned, why don't you prepare a soft sedan car soon!"
Yang Youqing's willow eyebrows stood up and shouted, and the people came back to their senses and searched around noisily.
However, Shen Donglai is a headcatcher, although there is some oil and water on weekdays, but how can there be such a thing as a soft sedan car at home. However, Yang Youqing made a quick decision and ordered the door panel to be removed and carried Shen Lang out of the door.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and most of them are going to the academy.
Wenxinguo ends every three years, and it is also a grand event in Anping County.
Especially this year, not to mention the scholars of ten miles and eight townships, even the county lord of Huaining Wangfu has come. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Lang collided and won the county lord of Sakura a few days ago, this event would be perfect.
Shen Lang and his party were very conspicuous in the crowd, after all, no one carried the door panel to the academy, the key was that there was still a patient lying on the door panel.
If passers-by didn't know Shen Lang, I'm afraid it would have been a good talk.
"That's Shen Lang of that."
"Bah, shameless thing, dare to insult the county lord, it's really a shame for our Anping County!"
"The county lord is merciful, why didn't this bad embryo kill him on the spot?!"
"He's going to the academy, could it be that he also wants to pick up the Wenxin fruit?"
"A head-catching son also wants to get involved in Wen Xinguo, and he doesn't pee and take pictures."
The pedestrians on the road were talking, and the eyes of Shen Lang and his party were full of disdain.
Yang Youqing's face was pale, she had expected the predicament faced by the Shen family, but what she didn't expect was that on this street, these passers-by would dare to talk nonsense in front of them. Shen Donglai is the head catcher of Anping County, and he is also the number one person on weekdays, but at this time, even ordinary people don't take him seriously.
She was about to have a seizure, when she suddenly felt her shoulders sinking, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Shen Lang looking at her and shaking his head slightly at her.
Yang Youqing took a deep breath and said coldly: "Speed up your pace, hurry up and hurry to the Academy of Literature!" ”
Shen Lang withdrew his hand and closed his eyes slightly.
……
On the second floor of the Wenxin Pavilion of the Academy, three people sat around a round table, one was in his fifties, dressed in official uniforms, this was Li Yuanqing, the county magistrate of Anping County. The old man next to him was dressed in a pure white Confucian shirt of the academy, and it was Lin Dong, the dean of the academy in this county.
The last person was in his forties, dressed in a military general's uniform, looking burly and strong, with a calm and unangry complexion. This middle-aged military attache is named Zhao Hao, who is the commander of the Huaining Palace, and this time the lord of Yingying County came to Anping County, and he was the one who led 800 personal soldiers to escort him.
If Shen Lang was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this person was the person who hit his spine with a military stick that day.
There were drinks and food on the table, and the three of them drank opposite each other.
"This year's Wenxin fruit is not low, and I don't know if it can produce a medium-grade Wenxin." Li Yuanqing squinted and looked downstairs into the distance.
One hundred meters outside Wenxin Pavilion, there is a clear spring with a radius of about three zhang, and the spring water gushes out from the spring, forming a small bulge on the water surface, which is Wenquan.
The spring is clear, exuding a faint fragrance of text, and standing next to it makes people feel clear and thoughtful. Through the surface of the water, it can be seen that there is a fist-sized cyan fruit faintly in it, which is the Wenxin fruit.
Wen Xinguo is hidden in the deepest part of the spring on weekdays, and only at the moment when he is about to die will he show his traces.
At this moment, there are more than 400 people sitting near Wenquan, which are all readers near Anping County, and the ripening of Wenxin fruit is a grand event for readers, and the readers from ten miles and eight townships are gathered here today.
They sat on the floor with thick sheets of white paper on their laps.
Wen Xinguo must be introduced by poetry, and the reader must continue to write exquisite poems to communicate his connection with Wen Xinguo, so that he can have the opportunity to pick the fruit in the end.
"Visually, it is at least medium-grade, and there is even a chance to break through to the top grade." Lin Dong retracted his gaze and said with a smile.
"Superior?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised, "Anping County's cultural movement is so prosperous, it can already condense the heart of high-grade literature?!" ”
Under the rule of Bailing Prefecture, there are six prefectures and seventy-four counties, and there are only a few that can condense the top-grade Wenxin fruit, which is still a bumper harvest year, when the literary style is sluggish, and there is not even a top-grade one.
Li Yuanqing smiled slightly and said: "Originally, it was at most medium-grade, but three days ago, Wenquan suddenly became angry, and the Wenxin fruit, which was originally about to ripen, grew again, and then there was a chance to break the product." Saying that, he paused slightly, and smiled at Zhao Hao, "I think it should be the arrival of the Lord of Yingying County, which has added supreme talent to Anping County, which has led to such a gratifying change." ”
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "The county lord of Yingying has been smart and likes poetry since he was a child, and it is really possible for Lord Li to say this." ”
"I just don't know who Wenxin fruit will fall to this time." Li Yuanqing said with a smile.
Zhao Hao squinted his eyes and smiled: "Needless to say, most of them are the sons of the Li County Ling family, I heard in the palace that Li Gongzi is young and erudite, and he is a first-class talent, if you want to come to this Wenxinguo dispute, there will not be too much suspense." ”
Li Yuanqing shook his head and said: "Although Mu'er has some talents, but it is just a false name, but it is Xu Mao of the academy, I heard that he learned literature at the age of three, wrote poetry at the age of ten, and was able to defend with famous masters at the age of fifteen, which can be called a genius." ”
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows lightly: "Oh? Is there such a talent in Anning County? ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and glanced at Lin Dong on the side, and said, "Xu Mao is Mr. Lin's personal inheritance, and it is normal that General Zhao has not heard of it in the past when he was hidden in the academy and not met with outsiders. ”
Lin Dong smiled reservedly and said: "It's not about hiding or not hiding, but Xu Mao is keen on classics, and in addition to reading every day, he reads, and I have persuaded him many times to let him go out and make friends with his peers, but he always doesn't listen." Fortunately, in these years, it can be regarded as a small success, and the hundreds of classics of Zhuzi have been dabbled in a little, although it is not possible to talk about intensive research, but it can be regarded as a mastery. ”
"And such talents?" Zhao Hao was surprised, "Then Zhao can tell Mr. Lin first, when Wen Xinguo is over, he must be allowed to serve in our army, what I lack most is this kind of talent!" ”
Lin Dong sighed and said, "I hope so, but he has decided to take the state exam in the middle of the year, I'm afraid I don't have time to go to you, General Zhao." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuanqing was also a little surprised: "I remember that Xu Mao is only twenty years old this year, and he passed the county exam last year, and he is going to take the state exam so soon?" ”
The state exam is different from the county exam, and the county exam is also known as the children's exam, and after that, even if you are a serious reader, but that's it. Once the state examination is passed, it means that you have meritorious fame, and you have the legal qualification to be an official. If you have a way, you can even go directly to the place and become a parent official.
Qingyun Mansion has a prosperous literary style, but those who can pass the state exam are generally in their forties, and it is not impossible to take the state exam before the age of twenty, but it is rare, and there is no one in decades.
Lin Dong nodded and said, "He thinks so, and I didn't stop him." It's good to be able to pass naturally, but if you can't, you should be familiar with the exam room and see more of the world. ”
Zhao Hao praised and raised his glass: "Anping County is really full of talents, and Li County Ling and Dean Lin have meritorious education!" ”
Li Yuanqing laughed and raised his glass: "It's all Mr. Lin's teaching, and this official doesn't dare to take credit!" Hahaha...... Drink, drink! ”
After the three of them took a drink, they set their eyes on Wenquan.
Shen Lang and his party have arrived at the gate of the academy, the academy at this moment is very lively, hundreds of people are gathered outside the gate, although they can't see the scene inside, but it does not prevent them from probing their brains at the door.
On both sides of the gate are two columns with knives to catch fast, these are the people from the county office, responsible for the security of the neighborhood.
"Get out of the way, we're going to the academy!"
In a noisy shouting and scolding, Shen Donglai and his party squeezed out of the crowd.
Someone in charge of public security immediately recognized them, and one of them stepped forward and said with a smile: "Shen Zhutou, haven't you thought about it behind closed doors at home, why did you come to the academy today?" ”
Shen Donglai clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "My son is going to enter the academy to extract Wenxin, please make it convenient for you brothers, and I will set up wine in the Red Sleeve Building tomorrow night to thank you." ”
Lord Shen laughed.
As soon as Shen Donglai's words fell, a forty-year-old head catcher walked out, and when he saw this person, Shen Donglai's brows suddenly furrowed.
This head catcher is called Luo Yu, and he is also the head catcher in Anping County, but this person had some conflicts with Shen Donglai because of a case, and the two have accumulated a lot of grievances over the years.
"Luo Zhutou, please make it convenient today, there will be a good reward when you come to the east of Japan." Shen Donglai clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Luo Yu's gaze swept over everyone, and he paused on Shen Lang, who was lying on the door panel, and then looked at Shen Donglai, and said with a smile: "Wen Xinguo will be a grand gathering for scholars, not for anyone to enter." We have the county order with us, but we don't dare to show favoritism. ”
"In that case, then I'm also a scholar, so of course I can go in." Shen Lang leaned on the door panel and said.
Luo Yu sneered: "You look like this, you are also a scholar? ”
Shen Lang's cold gaze swept over his face, and he said lightly: "What does a scholar look like, but it's up to you to rule Luo Zhutou?" ”
Luo Yu squinted at Shen Lang, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Okay!" Shen Gongzi's words are reasonable, since you said that you are a scholar, then you can go in. But......" His gaze swept over everyone slightly, and he said coldly with a knife on his waist, "Scholars can enter, but if the people next to them want to break in, don't blame Luo for being ruthless." ”
"You!"
Shen Donglai was furious, Shen Lang's spine was broken, and now he couldn't even move, how could he go in by himself?!
"Father, let me down." Shen Lang suddenly spoke.
"Lang'er, you ......"
"Brother Ziyu......" Yang Youqing on the side was also red-eyed and full of concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shen Lang shook his head and interrupted Shen Donglai and Yang Youqing.
Shen Donglai gritted his teeth and shouted: "Put Lang'er at the door!" He stared at Luo Yu with red eyes, "As long as you don't enter the gate of the academy, it's not a violation, right?" ”
"Of course." Luo Yu grinned.
A group of subordinates lifted the door panel to the entrance of the academy, and then carefully put Shen Lang down.
Shen Lang lay on the ground, trying to support his body with his arms, and a sharp pain immediately came from his waist, and his body seemed to be torn, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Shen Gongzi, is it okay?" Luo Yu lowered his head and smiled.
Shen Lang's face was already covered with sweat, but he suddenly turned his head and raised his eyes to look at Luo Yu, grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled weakly, and said, "Lord Luo, you can take a good look." ”
As the words fell, he slammed himself up and crawled into the gate of the academy little by little.
The noisy crowd at the entrance of the academy fell silent, and everyone looked at Shen Lang with an incredulous gaze. The fact that Shen Lang had his spine broken had already spread in Anping County. They couldn't imagine that such a person could still climb into the academy.
Even the most venomous person is only full of shock at this moment.
Shen Donglai suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Luo Yu and gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Luo, Shen has written down today's events, and there will be a good reward in the future!" ”
Luo Yu snorted coldly and didn't answer, just squinted his eyes, staring coldly at the figure that kept crawling towards Wenquan.
