Chapter 34: No Scroll
The sky is dawning, and the fog has not yet dispersed.
A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly on the ancient road at the edge of the city.
Seeing that the 'coachman' was just drinking by himself, the horse did not hurry away, but slowly dragged the carriage forward.
The 'coachman' was half-lying on the seat of the carriage, holding a flask and drinking.
Watching the carriage slowly moving on the stone road, I don't know whether it is a person swimming in the scenery or a scene walking by the car.
Feeling interested, the 'coachman' took a sip of wine and began to read the poem.
"Peach Blossom Wood Peach Blossom Temple,
Peach Blossom Fairy under the Peach Blossom Temple;
Peach Blossom Fairy planting peach trees,
Picking peach blossoms for wine money......"
The 'coachman' was so energetic that the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and a small head poked out.
The little girl poked her head out, looked at the 'coachman' and pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Young master, what about the exam today...... Why do you still drink? ”
The 'coachman' was Su Mo, who was going to the exam, and he hurried early in the morning to borrow a horse from the third senior sister Gu Yu, and the little girl also wanted to go with her to have a look, so she borrowed another car.
Originally, Su Mo didn't let the little girl follow, and she couldn't enter the examination room, what did she do?
But the little girl said that she wanted to go to the shipbuilding to play with Luo Yin by herself, and Su Mo did not refuse.
It seems that during the period when she was in a coma, the little girl was familiar with Luo Yin and others...... Su Mo secretly thought: If you want to go to the shipyard to listen to the music in the future, it seems that you have to call the girl to take it!
"I'm looking for a state, drink some wine and be clear! Back then, Li Bai wrote poems, and he would produce good works when he drank wine, and I also came to follow the example of the ancients. Su Mo explained with a smile.
"Who is Li Bai?" The little girl asked.
"Uh......" Su Mo thought for a long time, not knowing where to start.
The little girl climbed out of the carriage and sat in Su Mo's arms, holding her head high and no longer asking, but admonished: "That's enough, you should get drunk if you drink again." ”
"Okay, okay, don't drink it!" Su Mo reluctantly put down the wine jug and picked up the little girl......
The little girl flashed her big eyes and looked at Su Mo: "And then?" ”
"What, then?" Su Mo didn't know why.
"The poem that the young master just read, I haven't finished reading it yet!" The little girl listened to what Su Mo read just now, and felt that there should be something behind.
Su Mo tilted his head sideways: "I want to think about ......"
Seeing that Su Mo was no longer drinking, Ma Er was afraid that Su Mo would find out that he was lazy, so he took a faster step.
Tuk... Tuk Tuk ......
"The wine wakes up and sits only in front of the flowers,
drunk and come to sleep;
Half-awake and half-drunk day after day,
Flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I hope that the old and dead will be in the wine room,
Reluctant to bow in front of the carriage.
The car dust is full of fun,
Wine cup flower branch poor fate.
If you compare the rich to the poor,
One on the flat earth and the other in the sky;
If you compare the poor to a chariot and a horse,
He's got to drive me, I'm free.
The world laughs at me for being mad,
I laugh at others who can't see through it;
I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie,
No flowers, no wine, hoe and ......
”
"Good poetry... What a poem......"
A passer-by who looked like a scholar on the side of the road heard Su Modi's poetry, and immediately unconsciously expressed his appreciation.
Su Mo tugged on the horse's rope, and the carriage stopped.
Seeing Su Mo stop the carriage, the scholar who spoke hugged his fists and asked Su Mo kindly, "Is this brother participating in the Spring Festival?" ”
Su Mo nodded and asked curiously, "That's right, is it the same with Brother Tai?" ”
"If nothing else, it must be the same as the brother's purpose." The young man who spoke was dressed in plain clothes, not a wealthy family.
And when Su Mo came out of the academy, his clothes had already changed into the exquisite white clothes given by Gu Yu, and he looked like a child of a scholarly family.
It's just that the bun that the girl tied up for is still very delicate.
"In Xia Su Mo, the word Jingyan. I don't know what Brother Tai is called? ”
The young man suddenly felt that he had heard the name slightly, thought about it and then exclaimed: "Could it be that you are Su Mo who posed on the street that day and then made a masterpiece such as "Su Curtain Cover"? ”
Su Mo was stunned...... All this is spreading?
"It's my book, but it's not a good work. It's just a book by chance! Su Mo replied shamelessly, but said modestly.
"Brother Su is too modest......"
The young man saw that Su Mo was dressed in luxurious clothes and driving a carriage, presumably he was a child of a rich family. But he was approachable and humble in his conversation, and his good impression of Su Mo suddenly increased.
"In Xiajiang Yu, Jiangxi people's clan, has not yet been established."
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "I was holding the fist of Chunyu to win the championship, but I never thought of meeting Brother Su. The word that day and every poem today calls me to bow down to the wind. ”
"Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."
Su Mo was suddenly embarrassed...... There's no way, the foundation is empty, these poems are all copied......
"Brother Tai, why should I be arrogant, I can only make some poems, calligraphy and paintings, but practical politics is my weakness, how can I win the championship with only some poems?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and asked in surprise, "Brother Su doesn't know?" ”
"Don't know what?" Su Mo was stunned.
"This year's Spring Festival, there is only one exam."
"Just one test?" Su Mo really didn't know about this.
Jiang Yu nodded and said: "The sage has a purpose, there is only one exam in this spring, and the four books and five classics, the strategy and the eight strands of literature are integrated in one volume, and the style is not limited." It's just that I don't know what exam questions the saint will come up with to combine these test points. ”
Su Mo was speechless, that one was really bold, the content of the imperial examination, he said that he would change it. In the previous life, the reform of the imperial examination was a big move.
After thinking about it, after all, this is a different world, and I am relieved.
"So......" Jiang Yu smiled, "I guess poetry will have an advantage as a carrier." ”
Su Mo hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you Brother Jiang for your advice." ”
Jiang Yu waved his hand again and again.
Su Mo opened his mouth and said: "I had a good conversation with Brother Jiang, and I happened to be on the same road." Brother Jiang, why don't you come to the carriage, let's go to the examination room together. ”
Jiang Yu was immediately moved when he heard this.
At this moment, the horse in front of him turned his head very humanly and glanced at Jiang Yu coldly, the horse's hooves rubbed slightly on the ground, and there was a threat inside.
Jiang Yu saw that Ma'er's actions were suddenly a little cramped, and waved his hand again and again: "No need, no need...... It's still early, I still have some things to deal with before rushing to the exam room, Brother Su is the first. ”
Su Mo didn't see the horse's movements. It's just that Jiang Yu really has something, and it's not easy to ask, so he doesn't force it.
"Then we'll see you in the exam room." Su Mo waved his hand and drove the horse away.
Watching Su Modi's carriage go away, Jiang Yu wiped a cold sweat and said secretly: "This Brother Su is really a child of a family, and even the horses are so rebellious. ”
Su Mo hugged the little girl all the way, and when he drove the carriage to the door of the examination room, he was about to start the exam.
It's not that the horse walks slowly, but that Su Mo first took the little girl to have breakfast, and then came to the test center slowly.
The life in his previous life made Su Mo develop a very good habit ——— stuck points!
Su Mo turned around and told the little girl sitting in the carriage: "Be careful on the way to Fairy Luoyin's shipbuilding, don't worry about anything yourself, find Fairy Luoyin or the third senior sister to solve it, or wait for me to come out to solve it." ”
"Uh-huh!" The little girl nodded obediently.
"Young Master...... Effort is it. Even if we don't get good grades, it doesn't matter, we can still go back to Jiangnan. ”
Su Mo smiled and rubbed the girl's little head, then turned his head to look at the horse pulling the cart, and asked very suspiciously, "Do you know how to get to the shipyard?" ”
The horse raised its proud head and snorted in a 'puff, puff', as if to reply to Su Mo's suspicions about it.
Su Mowan smiled, patted the horse's head and turned around and entered the examination room.
As soon as Su Mo left, Ma Er glanced back at the little girl, confirmed that the little girl was sitting firmly, and then 'Tuk... Tuk Tuk...' stepped on the horse's hooves and walked slowly in the direction of the ship's building.
After Su Mo showed the road guide and other vouchers, he was led to the number room and waited quietly for the start of the exam.
Suddenly, a familiar smell was evoked in Su Mo's heart.
It was the breath of the blood pill that night in the west of the city......
"Bell... Clang... Bell ......"
The bell rings, and spring begins.
A test paper was distributed to the Sumodi House.
Su Mo unfolded the scroll, and there was not a word on the scroll......
Pen fun pigeon
