Text Chapter 3 Drunken and Poetic Maniacs

"Ahem!"

With a cough, Li Bai woke up like a dream.

"Do you want to sign up for the children's exam?" a white-haired old man appeared in front of Li Bai.

"Exactly!" Li Bai saluted, but when he saw that this person was wearing an apricot card on his waist, and the word "lifting people" was written on it, his posture was lowered.

It must be known that Jing Lingyin, who is in charge of the affairs of Chang'an City, is the sixth grade, and he is only a human rank.

"Presumably the senior is the invigilator. ”

The invigilators of the imperial examinations were not appointed by the imperial court, but by the Taoist court.

The Taoist court also set up Taoist palaces in each prefecture and county, which were in charge of literati affairs.

"Your eyesight is not bad, but you're a little late!" the old man laughed.

Li Bai looked around, and the entire hall was just him and the invigilator.

"I have something at home, so I came to sign up today. ”

"What's your name?"

The old man took out an official seal from his arms, and his mind moved, and the brush on the table flew into his hand, and the rice paper on the table flew automatically in front of the old man without wind.

"Li Bai. ”

"Are there any words?"

Li Bai was a little crazy, and he couldn't think of it.

"Words... The word is too white!" Li Bai thought about it, the word Taibai is very good, Li Taibai is the poet immortal in his previous life!

"Good!" the old man wrote a few strokes on the paper and stamped it with the official seal.

"Okay, tomorrow I will come to the Dao Palace with this piece of paper to take the exam. ”

Li Bai said goodbye to the old man and walked to the street.

Where are you going to go home now? No, the imperial examination will be held tomorrow, and if you are delayed along the way, it will be over.

Li Bai thought of this, and thought of his old father and mother, who wore robes and clothes, sewed and mended, and had not changed a single piece of clothing for many years.

Even if it is a cold winter, it is still covered by such clothes.

Li Bai looked at himself again, at least a plain dress without patches, remembering that two years ago, he was about to go to the county exam, but the old mother sold the two most precious hens in the family, only to exchange for a few feet of linen, under the lamp, stitches and threads, until the dawn of the sky.

Mother, when I get a reputation in the future, I will definitely repay you and my father.

It's enough for you to have this heart!

That time, Li Bai fell off the list.

The following year, it fell off the list again.

Since then, he has been in a slump, borrowing alcohol to kill his sorrows all day long, and the parents in the township are all using Li Bai as a negative teaching material.

Only his father and mother did not give up on themselves.

"This time, I must be admitted to the Tongsheng exam and soar to the sky!" Li Bai made up his mind.

It cost one tael of silver to sign up, and there were nine taels left, Li Bai went to the fabric store, bought a few feet of cloth, and brought a few pairs of insoles.

"Go back and let my mother make two sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes. ”

I still have three taels of silver left in my hand, so I went to the inn and asked for the cheapest room.

You need to rest well before the exam!

Li Bai looked at the only broken silver left in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh, no matter where he goes, no matter where he goes, he can't do it without money!

On the top of the moon, Li Bai opened the window, the moonlight was sprinkled, and the floor was like a clean and quiet pool of water.

At this time, shouldn't there be a sentence of "moonlight in front of the bed?"

Li Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was really a wandering prodigal, and he didn't know if he could return to the old world in this life.

"Eat wine, eat wine!"

Li Bai looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and if he came, he would be safe, and he didn't need to think about it.

Perhaps influenced by the previous master, Li Bai is now full of wine in his head, and if he doesn't taste it, it's like sitting on pins and needles.

Li Bai went downstairs, took out a little broken silver, and begged for a few sips of wine.

Li Bai slid his hand over his waist and took out the wine gourd to present it.

Hey, don't say it, this Li Bai was really willing to do it before, and this wine gourd is good.

Vermilion skin, fat body, is just a good drink.

Take a look at it carefully, there are two lines of small black lines, and the book is "drunk and big, and the sun and moon are long".

After climbing a few steps, I went back to my room.

"Good wine!"

Take a sip of it, exhale, and leave all your worries behind.

If I want to be a literati, I want to be the first in the world!

I am Li Bai, and one day, I must let Li Taibai's name spread throughout the human race.

No, spread it all over the worlds!

If there is no Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty, then I will do this life

Drinking alone under the moon, Li Bai is even more poetic, which coincides with the treasure of the study room in the room.

I'm sorry, I don't have this leisure, I just use the tip of my tongue to moisten the purple hair.

Roll up your sleeves, hold Zihao in your hand, and don't have rice paper on the table?

A white wall is just the best "ink paper".

In the moonlight, Li Bai worked hard to write!

......

The rooster chirped Zimo's dawn was cold, and Li Bai slowly opened his eyes.

"Hmm, why am I on the ground?" Li Bai patted his head.

Hey, I got up to drink last night, and I almost missed a big thing!

Li Bai hurriedly looked out the window, the two suns had just revealed a little corner, but fortunately, it was okay!

The room fee has already been paid, and there is no need to inform the store anymore, all the net worth is this plain clothes, a few feet of linen.

"Huh?"

As soon as Li Bai left, an old man appeared out of thin air in the house.

There is a lot of dust in the room, the old man is dressed in plain clothes, but he has not been contaminated with dust, and if you look closely, there is a layer of vitality surrounding.

If someone is here, he will be shocked into a cold sweat, this person has the breath of the Holy Dao!

Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles.

If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear.

When the world saw my constant tune, they all sneered when they heard Yu Dayan.

Xuan's father can still be afraid of the afterlife, and her husband is not a young man.

"Good!" the old man slowly spoke, only saying such a word, but it caused the vitality of the whole body to shake.

I have such aspiring descendants in Datang, and I can look forward to the future, but I don't know what kind of bitter history this young man has gone through to write such a bold poem.

He didn't know that Li Bai tried and failed, and was gossiped cold by his neighbors.

You all laugh at my ambitions, and we only think you are birds, and of course we don't know my ambitions!

Sages like Confucius can still know that the afterlife is terrifying.

"Who?"

A few shopkeepers broke in, and just now the old man's mood fluctuated, causing the surrounding vitality to ripple, and many utensils downstairs were smashed off the table.

"No one?

The room was empty, as if the old man had never been here.

Li Bai was already on the way to Dao Palace at this time, and he was still nibbling on a few buns in his mouth.

He didn't know that what he did last night had alarmed a great person.

Along the way, others were pointing and pointing, and a few people hid their faces and whispered.

"Why are these people looking at me?" Li Bai looked at the passers-by in confusion, and didn't pay much attention.

Since you want to be this poet immortal, you must be wild and uninhibited!

"This person doesn't know how to be polite, and he is still a person who reads the books of sages!"

As soon as Li Bai left, some passers-by let go of their voices, it turned out that they thought that it was really indecent for Li Bai to gnaw buns while walking!

Dressed in the clothes of a scholar, I am so sorry for the saints!

With the memory of yesterday, I turned two or three alleys and arrived at the gate of the Holy Palace.

Today, it is crowded with people, but fortunately, there are officials from the yamen who preside over the order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is the chief examiner this time, Chen Wenyin. ”

At the entrance of the Dao Palace, on the steps, there was an official family member who was talking about the exam.

But Li Bai didn't want to listen, just looked at Chen Wenyin, there was a slender woman standing behind her, wearing military clothes, combing her ponytail, and looking like a woman.

"Humph!"

The woman felt Li Bai's burning gaze, but she snorted coldly.
