After bidding farewell to Zhang Yanyu, Lu Chuan and the three of them took the lead mountain and goose lake, intending to pass through Shaowu and Yanping from Wuyi Mountain to Quanzhou.

In June of the second year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, Lu Jiuyuan and others gathered in the Goose Lake Temple at the foot of the Goose Lake Mountain, which was known as the Goose Lake Meeting.

In the fifteenth year of Chunxi, Chen Liang invited Xin Qijian and Zhu Xi to discuss the reunification plan in Zixi, Lead Mountain, Zhu Xi did not go for some reason, but Xin Qiji, who was seriously ill at the time, did not miss the appointment.

Wang Shouren and Xin Qiji and Zhu Xi are the same kind of people, and his current sorrow and sorrow all stem from the fact that the monarch is unknown, the ministers are in charge, the people are not happy, and the family and country are unfortunate.

Yao Qian once said, the great man of chivalry for the country and the people, he was incomprehensible before, Taoism talks about self-cultivation, old age and death do not get along, people have their own divisions, if the people in the rivers and lakes can do chivalrous righteousness is not easy, how to serve the country with the power of one person? How to serve the people?

After listening to Yang Mu's remarks at the Yuedi Inn, he seemed to begin to understand the meaning of this sentence a little.

Later, when his grandfather died, he read the "Xin Qi Ji Biography" in the "History of the Song Dynasty" when he was studying in Yaofu, and read that he returned to the Song Dynasty to resist Jin, devoted himself to Gengjing, returned to the Song Dynasty and was summoned by Gaozong and was awarded the official title.

Later, the capital changed drastically, and Yao Qian unfortunately died, and this sentence was engraved in his bones.

For him, Xin Qiji, like Lu You, is just a vague shadow in a book or a story, only Yao Qi is a living person he has seen with his own eyes, a person who lives but does not die, and who dies and is immortal.

Jiang Bin didn't think as much as the two of them, where Lu Chuan and Wang Shouren were going, he just had to follow, where to go, not to go? Anyway, when he was young, he had time, and the most worthless thing was time.

However, seeing that the two of them were not good-looking, he was also interested, and he didn't say much about what he didn't say on weekdays, so he simply led the way in front.

Passing through Guixi, there are farmland on both sides of the road, it is the season of rice planting, the old women and young women are working in the fields, but the men do not know where they have gone. Although the spring flowers are blooming now, it is still cold to stand barefoot in the water, if it is not for the fact that life is unbearable, who wants to do this?

Don't look at Lu Chuan's bad temper, but his heart is hot, and he can't see others suffering, and he suffers from his own limited ability, so he feels uncomfortable, so he simply can't see it and is not annoyed, and he gallops on his horse.

But if you can't see your heart or not, it's really not annoying, I'm afraid only he knows.

When Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin saw him like this, they didn't know why, so they also quickly followed.

After running for a while, there was a scholar on the side of the road in front of him, looking at the women in the field, Lu Chuanben didn't care, but as soon as Ma staggered by, he listened to him sing: "Nancun and Beicun compete to plant grass, the bride's sister-in-law and grandmother, the green skirt is tied around the waist and the head is white, and the hand throws the new seedlings like a shuttle; Since ancient times, men have cultivated and women weaved, and Li'er has been diligent in two battles. How many people in Chang'an are full of gold without moving. ”

With a sad voice in his words, he was speaking to Lu Chuan's heart.

Originally, Lu Chuan had already walked back, and walked twice behind the scholar, but the scholar was stuck in his own contemplation and did not notice it.

In the blink of an eye, Kung Fu Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin also arrived, took the reins of the horse, and also looked at the scholar. The place was empty, and the scholar's voice was not high, but they could still hear it clearly.

This poem is simple and unpretentious, and it also has a vernacular accent, but the things in the poem and the connotation of the feelings are unthinkable.

Wang Shouren was about to get off the horse to talk to the scholar for a few words, but he heard Lu Chuan say with poetry: "The farmer suffers all year round, and he gets the fragrance of fat and cream." Diligent and conservant, there is a few months of food. He is a luxurious child, and he is tired of vegetarian food. Sitting in abolition of hands and feet, poor desire to poison their intestines. How do you know that the people are difficult, and the sun is scorching with frost. ”

These two poems are similar and have their own strengths, but when it comes to scrutiny, Lu Chuan's poems are more ingenious.

Don't look at the scholar can't hear the sound of horses' hooves, but the poems are really heard, and when he turns around, he sees that it is a young man who is almost twenty years old, or the dress of a person from the rivers and lakes, and he can't help but be in awe.

Chong Ma arched his hand, and was just about to speak, but he saw another carriage coming on the road, and the people in the carriage shouted from a distance: "Gongjin, why did you come here?

The carriage stopped, and another scholar got out of the carriage, but this scholar was much more beautiful than the one who had just recited poetry.

"Brother Wei, why are you here?

"Hey, how can I come to you if it's not good?

"I just met these people, this brother's poems are simple and smooth, and they have the style of the Han and Wei dynasties, you can listen to them......"

While listening to Lu Chuan's poems, the man nodded frequently, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wang Shouren standing aside, and suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, "You...... Aren't you Mr. Yang Ming? Yan Song, who was born in the late years, was a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and had a relationship with Mr. when he was an editor in the capital. As he spoke, he swept the floor and held the disciple ceremony.

Don't look at him and Wang Shouren are not a few years old, but Wang Shouren studied under Lou Liang and intersected with most of the great Confucians of the time, and the generations are there. This is one of the reasons why Lu Chuan was embarrassed and didn't know what to call when he was in Hangzhou that day.

Wang Shouren didn't want to recognize him, but Yan Song recognized him at a glance, and if he wanted to pretend to be stupid, I was afraid that it would be a little too much to say.

"Oh, it's Weizhong, I said why is it so familiar, I heard that you are ill, and you retired and returned to your hometown back then, how is it now?

"Hey, Mr. Lao remembers, in fact, there is no illness? I just didn't have the life of an official, and I was all fine as soon as I went home. But it just so happens that now that Liu Jin is in power, even if I don't get sick, I can't be an official......"

Wang Shouren laughed and interrupted his words: "The sky is blue and the sun is white, but you have to be cautious." Let me introduce you to you, this is my junior brother, my teacher's son Lu Chuan. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Lu's son, no wonder there are such literary talents, please bow to Song!"

Saying that, he swept the floor again, Lu Chuan frowned, this gift was obviously a little too much, but I didn't know what kind of status his father Lu Xiuyuan had in the literary world, considering the level of his senior brother Wang Shouren, he took a half-salute sideways, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I'm just reckless in the rivers and lakes, I haven't read a few days of books, and I was moved by this brother, and I said a few words of nonsense, but the middle brother was serious." Let me introduce you to you, this is my brother Jiang Bin. ”

Jiang Bin smiled, "The word water, the water of the landscape, the end of the world." ”

"I have been looking up for a long time, I will also introduce to you, this is my fellow villager and friend, Xia Yan, the word is respectful. ”

Xia Yan came over to greet Wang Shouren first.

Wang Shouren looked at it for a long time, frowned, and said, "Xia Yan...... Aren't you the little genius who fell in love with Li Xiang's house that day?"

Xia Yan shouldn't have answered for a while, Yan Song laughed and said, "Mr. remembers well, he is the son of Xia Ding." ”

"Oh, I haven't seen you for many years, you're so old, how is your father?"

Speaking of this, Xia Yan's tears fell, "Uncle Lao is worried, my father has been dead for two years. ”

"Huh, how did you die?"

"Sick and dead. ”

Wang Shouren thought of the deceased, and inevitably felt a little sad, and he was speechless for a while, and he was stunned there.

Seeing this scene, Yan Song hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Gongjin, Mr. is everyone, haven't you always wanted to invite a teacher, why don't you take this opportunity to invite Mr. to your home to give you guidance on your studies?"

"Oh, the little nephew has this intention, and he also asked his uncle to come to the cold house and give the little nephew some advice. ”

Wang Shouren looked at Lu Chuan, and Lu Chuan smiled: "Anyway, we don't have anything urgent, so we might as well bother for a few days." It just so happened that I was listening to my brother's lecture. ”

Jiang Bin also joined in the fun and said: "Yes, I also happened to listen, you see that you can't talk at every turn, so I will only applaud from the side." ”

caused everyone to laugh, and without saying much, they changed the route to Xia Yan's house.

On the way, Lu Chuan talked to Yan Song and Xia Yan, Jiang Bin pulled Wang Shouren's sleeve, the two fell a few steps, Jiang Bin asked: "Brother Wang, you said that this Xia Yan is a genius, how do I think he is a little stupid? And what is the matter with what you said about Li Xiang's strange right? You tell me, maybe I can match it too." ”

Wang Shouren sighed, and said angrily: "You, just tell you, I'll tell you, it was the ninth year of Hongzhi, and my palace test failed the list, and I am still in Beijing." The chief examiner that year was Li Dongyang Li Xiangye, and after the list was released, he invited us to a group of candidates, one is to encourage us who have failed to fight again in the coming year, and the other is to see off the Jinshi who have won the list, so I and Xia Yan's father, as well as Zhou Ding, Ji Chun, Meng Chun and others are here. During the banquet, Li Xiang came up with a couplet, 'Meng Chunchun is only Shaozhong', we thought about it with all our might, and no one could match it. ”

"'Meng Chun Chun Wei Shaozhong'...... I can't come out either, Xia Yan is right?"

Wang Shouren glanced at him, "He said 'Xia Ding and Zhou Ding have no business', and it was tight." ”

"Well, I can't see it. But I don't understand this, since he is so smart, why is he still dressed in white? If you want to say that the examination is difficult, it is well known to everyone, but is the township examination so difficult? He can't occupy one of the more than 100 places in the 13 prefectures of Jiangxi?"

"This ...... Maybe it was influenced by his father's death. ”

"Che, I wasn't even ten years old when my father died, and I would have called Hanako if I had said so. In my opinion, he is also a busy person, and you can't listen to his poems as well as my brother who is a man of the rivers and lakes......"
