Chapter 16 The First Genius in Jiangnan
Xu Xian stood at the door of this ancient version of the university cafeteria, took a deep breath, the aroma of the food filled his mouth and nose, and he felt a deep sense of satisfaction, the life of worry-free food and clothing in his previous life did not make him feel much happiness, but only when he lost it did he know how to cherish it!
At this time, a middle-aged man with a green beard walked into the small cafeteria, and everywhere he went, the students saluted and called him sir.
The middle-aged man was chic and elegant, with a face like a crown of jade, and he was obviously well maintained, and he was the gentleman who gave the lecture in class today. At this time, he was no longer respectful and serious in class, but smiled and bowed slightly, showing extraordinary bearing. He is a famous Confucian in Jiangnan, and it is said that he also had the nickname of the first genius in Jiangnan when he was young.
As soon as Li Siming sat down, his eyes lit up when he saw Pan Yu standing at the door, and he waved his sleeves and said to Pan Yu: "Come on, Pan Yu, you, the 'later' No. 1 talent in Jiangnan, don't come to the academy to meet me, the No. 1 talent in Jiangnan, you don't understand the rules too much." ”
Pan Yulang said with a smile: "Students only know that there is a first, and they don't know what is before and after." As he spoke, he pulled Xu Xian to Li Siming's table and sat down, obviously very familiar.
"It's really taught the apprentice to have no master, and if you want to be a teacher back then, you can meet friends with a text, and you can only get the nickname of a hero, and it's not so easy for you to simply sit down. ”
Pan Yu sneered and said: "I have already heard your story eight hundred times, and depending on my methods this year, I will not be able to sit on the position of the first genius in Jiangnan." ”
"Okay, it's a bit of arrogance that I had back then, it depends on your performance this year. Li Siming said three good words in a row, and he was very happy.
Xu Xian looked at it strangely, why did Pan Yu, who was humble and couldn't be more humble, suddenly speak wildly, and they didn't understand what they were saying, so he couldn't help asking: "Mingyu, is there anything going on this year?"
Before Pan Yu could answer, Li Siming hurriedly said: "You are Xu Xian! Liangyu does not follow the stubborn stone, if you have no talent and no virtue, you should stay away from me, the apprentice of the first talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, so as not to get into trouble." After speaking, he took a sip of tea and didn't look at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian scratched his head for a while, how could there be such a person, look at Pan Yu apologetically, Pan Yu was about to defend him. Xu Xian turned his head and looked at Song Siming with a serious face, then slowly stretched out his right hand, suddenly pulled his eyelids, and stuck out his tongue and made a grimace at Song Siming.
"Poof! cough...... Ahem, cough ......!" Li Siming's mouthful of tea that he hadn't swallowed all squirted out, his face was flushed, and he coughed in embarrassment. Everyone's eyes in the cafeteria were attracted, and Xu Xian smiled casually and told everyone that it was just an accident.
Since the table was in the corner, only Li Siming and Pan Yu saw Xu Xian's grimace. Pan Yu patted Li Siming on the back and glanced at Xu Xian, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Li Siming's coughing finally stopped, Pan Yu sat back in place, and glared at Xu Xian again, she now understood the meaning of Xu Xian's look just now. Heart: Who said that honest people are easy to bully, there is one who can't be bullied.
What Xu Xian didn't expect was that Li Siming, who finally calmed down the pain of choking on water, said to Pan Yu with a smile: "Okay, okay, but I looked away, this kid is a little more crazy than you." He turned his face to Xu Xian and said, "Let's settle it now, what I hate the most in my life is cowardly and incompetent, it seems that you are okay." ”
Pan Yu explained on the side: "Hanwen, Mr. Li also has a nickname, called 'Crazy Confucian', the surname is the most uninhibited, it was just a joke just now, don't care." ”
Xu Xian shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, Li Siming's eyes lit up, and he felt that this action was very special, but he had an indescribable chic meaning, and praised: "Suddenly add without surprise, add without anger." It is rare to have such a heart surname at a young age. Just a trial of your last name, no wonder. "Let's make wine with tea, and punish myself with a cup.
Xu Xian said strangely: "Try me, how to try?"
He muttered in his heart: It seems that people of a little age love to come to this set! But if you really want to talk about age, Xu Xian, who has been a person in two lives, is close to the age of not being confused, but the age in his heart still has a lot to do with the living environment, and he has not experienced such things as getting married and having children, so he is not an uncle-level person after all.
Li Siming laughed and said: "If you are angry and refute it, it proves that you are not generous enough." If you take into account my identity and forbear, it proves that you are gloomy. ”
Xu Xian was speechless, and he couldn't do anything together, so he simply said: "What if I beat you up!"
Li Siming waved his fist and said, "Look at your little arms and legs, I'm afraid you are not my opponent." ”
Xu Xian turned his head to Pan Yu and said, "Mingyu, Mr. Li doesn't have twin brothers or anything!" Seeing that the erudite Confucian had become an unscrupulous uncle, Xu Xian obviously couldn't stand this change.
Pan Yu just smiled and shook his head, quite amused. Li Siming's playful surname is quite common in modern times, but in ancient times, especially among Confucianism, it was simply a rare animal. Even Pan Yu, who is good at getting along, often feels like she doesn't know how to get along with him.
Xu Xian had a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and it was really unexpected to meet an ancient person with such a modern atmosphere after traveling for so long, and he spoke more and more casually.
And Li Siming is more and more surprised, and he often inadvertently brings out Xu Xian's modern views, which makes him feel very appetizing to himself. Speaking of the rise, I forgot to eat even the meal.
Pan Yu watched the conversation between the big and small eyebrows, sneering at each other from time to time, sometimes sneering at each other, sometimes snarky and even Pan Yu secretly frowned, but the two of them gently lifted it, as if they didn't care at all.
A group of people talking, and being isolated on the sidelines, is really a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. Pan Yu looked at the energetic Mr. Li, who had studied with him since he was a teenager, and saw him argue and quarrel with others a lot, but there were few people who talked happily like now. Even if there is, most of them talk about some subsets of scriptures and history, poems and songs, which is like the unnutritious Kan Dashan now.
Xu Xian, Xu Xian, what kind of person are you?
If Pan Yu is still thinking about it, then there is a person who has now affirmed who Xu Xian is. Xia Ziqi has been paying attention to this since Xu Xian came in just now, and now seeing that he is so familiar with Mr. Li, he has already concluded that Xu Xian is a related person, otherwise it would be impossible to be so "rude" to himself, the son of a general judge.
"Hmph, it's just a little teacher, do you really think it's a great adult?" Xia Ziqi sneered in his heart.
The teacher in the official school also has a grade, Li Siming is half a level higher than the eighth grade of the general judgment, but he has no real power, so it is naturally rare for Xia Ziqi to pay attention to the children of the powerful family. Although the general judgment is not of high rank, he exercises the duty of supervision, even the prefect has to respect him for three points, not to mention ordinary petty officials, who is not respectful when he sees it. Xia Ziqi is inevitably arrogant when he lives in such an environment, and today he was teased by Xu Xian, and he felt that he had been greatly insulted, and he was bound to refuse to give up.
Xu Xian suddenly remembered the discussion between Li Siming and Pan Yu just now, and asked again: "Wenbi just now, what is the matter with the number one talent in Jiangnan?"
Pan Yu thought for a while and said: "This is a great prosperity of Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River, once every three years, led by the Hajj Academy to convene the scholars of the major academies in the south of the Yangtze River, to come to the shore of the West Lake to compare the poems, if you can overwhelm the Confucianism, you will get the name of the first talent in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is only a folk joke, but the major academies attach great importance to this name, Mr. Li has spoken about the Confucianism, which is the first talent in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous generation. Since it always starts at the First Snow Festival, this event is also called the First Snow Test!"
Xu Xian skimmed Li Siming and said, "Can the uncle also participate in this competition?" Because just now Pan Yu called him the last generation of Jiangnan talents, but this kind of competition should produce a Jiangnan No. 1 talent every time!
Pan Yu ignored Li Siming's strong dissatisfaction and explained with a smile: "The first in this competition may not be able to become the 'No. 1 talent in Jiangnan', and there has been no so-called No. 1 talent in Jiangnan for a long time." ”
Xu Xian suddenly understood what it means to "suppress" the heroes, not the first place, but to be in an absolute dominant position, such as in the previous life in high school, every time the age exam, there was a strongman who always ranked first with a terrifying gap of several tens of points over the second place, in that kind of state where everyone is working hard in the college entrance examination, this situation is simply incredible. Only such a person can be the "No. 1 talent in Jiangnan"!
Xu Xian looked at Li Siming in surprise, he didn't expect such an unscrupulous uncle to have such strength, but thinking about the level of his teaching just now, he really had real learning, and he couldn't help but admire a little.
Li Siming enjoyed Xu Xian's admiring gaze, his heart was very happy, and he pretended to wave his hand inadvertently: "It's all in the past, I think Pan Yu will definitely win this crown this year." "It shows great confidence in Pan Yu.
"Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. When a man is about to die, his words are good. I'd better care more about Mingyu!" Xu Xian sighed, immediately ruining Mr. Song's good mood.
Pan Yu snorted and laughed: "What died on the beach, don't talk nonsense in Chinese." "The beautiful face is like the ice and snow melting, and a thousand flowers are blooming. Xu Xian didn't expect that a witty remark that is very common in modern times would attract such a scene, and he was also stunned, and muttered: "It would be great if it was really Zhu Yingtai!"
Immediately came back to his senses and recited ten times in silence: I am not glass, I am not glass. Then he said to himself seriously: Xu Xian, you have to be loyal to your future lady, and you must not indulge in male sex!
