When Lord Wang saw the former teacher kneeling, he hurriedly stood up to help, but when he saw Xu Xian helping the teacher up, he slowly sat down. Said lightly: "Xu Xian, you also read the book of sages and sages, so you know what the five virtues are!"

"Students know that it is benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and faith. Xu Xian replied casually.

"Xu Xian, you are fighting in the street with others, and you are ruthless, it is unkind. It is unwise to cause trouble if you want to do something. It is rude to be ragged and disrespectful. It is unjust to waste the teacher's painstaking efforts. To have an appointment with someone, but not to make an appointment on time, is to have no faith. The imperial examination is for the selection of talents for the country, how can we want such unkind, unjust, rude, unwise and trustworthy people?" Wang Xuezheng's words were like knives.

Although Xu Xian couldn't find the words to refute, this would only lead things in a worse direction. After thinking about it, he finally sighed and said, "Thank you for your teachings." ”

Song Xiucai's eyes were red next to him, such an evaluation was equivalent to blocking Xu Xian's path to study. I couldn't take care of anything, and I was about to distinguish it by my neck, but I was pulled by Xu Xian, Xu Xian shook his head lightly, signaling that it was useless for the teacher to say more, and the old man finally lowered his head in despair.

At this time, there was a crackling sound from the window, and it was indeed gloomy that the sky finally began to rain, but it could not dissipate the oppressive feeling in the pavilion.

"What else do you have to say. "Wang Xuezheng's voice is as majestic as a god, just because he dominates a person's fate.

Xu Xian looked at the lost teacher next to him, and finally felt a little unfair in his heart, and raised his head and said, "The student only has one poem." ”

"Tell me about it. Wang Xuezheng said curiously.

"Jiangtou is not a storm, and it is difficult to walk in the world. This is Xu Xian's most tangible feeling today, for the old man who sells fish, for himself, isn't it all like this?

"Jiangtou is not a storm, and it is difficult to walk in the world. Wang Xuezheng chattered, frowned, pondered for a long time, and then looked at the river outside the window, which was already turbid at this time. The old man who thought of selling fish had now avoided the surging river in order to avoid [***]. Wang Xuezheng suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Good poetry, good poetry!"

This poem also touched his heart, his family has a deep foundation, and he is also dedicated to the country, just because of the discord between the court, he was once relegated to this place and made a small school administration. Along the way, take more waterways, on the big river, ever-changing, how not sinister. But the world is even more sinister.

"Teacher Song, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, but now I want to accept a protégé, and I ask the teacher to agree. ”

The old man was confused for a while, and it took a long time to reflect and say, "It's all up to the adult's arrangement." ”

Wang Xuezheng turned to Xu Xian again and said, "Xu Xian, are you willing to go to my house to study." ”

Xu Xian didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Didn't the adults say that what the students did was contrary to the five virtues?" The old man next to him couldn't wait to stop him, and this kind of good thing was not promised first.

"That's just some small benevolence and small righteousness, compassion for people's suffering is benevolence, drawing a sword to help each other is righteousness, teaching first and then beating is etiquette, wanting to take the first is wisdom, and there is a beginning and an end is faith. Your good name is famous in the township, I have heard of it, and now I see it is really extraordinary. You dare to leave your future to help an old man you don't know, and you are both wise and brave, both defeated the enemy and protected yourself, in this world, it is not enough to have a righteous spirit, you also need great wisdom and courage. Wang Xuezheng's words turned over the clouds, but the situation of Xu Xian on his lips was the difference between cloud and mud.

Don't talk about others, even the county officials next to them were dumbfounded, and felt that they were worthy of being officials from Beijing, which was unpredictable!

He didn't know that the reason why Wang Xuezheng was demoted to this place was that the northern border was uneasy, the barbarians had been invading for many years, Wang Xuezheng was in charge of a war, and the court was mostly peaceful, and he fought with each other, and was finally killed and degraded here.

saw Xu Xian beating that splash skin, beating with reason and moderation, and beating with wisdom and bravery. couldn't help but secretly agree with his thoughts, and the idea of mentioning something came up. But after decades of immersion in the officialdom, it is necessary to suppress it first, not only for the sake of the tree under the horse, but also to kill Xu Xian's arrogance, and to beat it well.

Later, Wang Xuezheng was even more surprised, if the scholar next to him was blocked on the road to the imperial examination, it would be no different from laying down the abyss, but Xu Xian was not shocked, neither humble nor arrogant, and he could still think of his teacher, and it was a rare bearing to be calm, compared with him, he was depressed and discouraged when he encountered some twists and turns, but he seemed stingy.

And those two lines of poetry are even more amazing, the vicissitudes of life are not like a teenager can say, but thinking about the great changes he encountered, those two lines of poems are timely and appropriate. Such a virtuous and learned young man couldn't help but be moved. Originally, I had to investigate it carefully, and I would wait until the autumn season to set the name. But at the moment, I really felt that I couldn't be wrong, so I simply accepted this protégé directly, and I couldn't take care of it if it was a little abrupt.

In the old officialdom, the most fundamental relationship was the protégé classmates, and those who were born on the same list were classmates, and the examiner who clicked on you was the teacher, and you had to rely on this teacher to take care of you when you first entered the officialdom. But there are exceptions, some people meet that particularly talented and famous, and they set up the name of teacher and student in advance, no matter who ordered you at that time, but the teacher is still the original teacher. It's just that those who can do this and dare to do so are the first-class figures in the DPRK and China.

Although Wang Xuezheng was down at this time, he was confident that he was not a person who had lived under others for a long time, and he was just being beaten by the emperor now. That's why I dare to say such a bold statement. With this word, Xu Xian's future will not be smooth sailing, but he will be able to take countless detours less than others.

The result was very happy, the banquet was opened, and Xu Xian stood aside. Wang Xuezheng couldn't help but beat Xu Xian, a new protégé, again, and what he said was nothing more than "study hard" and "don't think you can rely on me". Of course, Xu Xian was respectful and obedient.

The wine was dispersed, Wang Xuezheng looked at the mighty tide, and accepted Xu Xian, a protégé, who was a little depressed, couldn't help but feel a little depressed, drank a few more glasses, and was slightly drunk and didn't listen to the invitation of the county official, insisting on going back to Hangzhou today. Staggered to stand up and was about to leave, the others naturally accompanied the stars like the moon, and when they walked to the staircase, they suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned back to Xu Xian and said, "That poem is incomplete!"

Xu Xian said: "It was a poem that the student heard from a Taoist chief when he was young, but it was a poem. ”

"Oh, didn't you do it?"

"It's not the students who do it. ”

"Well, it's not good, it's not a good thing for a teenager to become famous. You will, read the long poem to me!"

"Yes, teacher. Xu Xian cleared his throat and said loudly: "

sang "Yangguan" before the tears dried, and the fame was left to add food.

Floating water sends infinite trees, and buries half of the mountain with rain clouds.

Hate in the past and now, thousands of kinds, should only be separated from joy and sorrow?

Jiangtou is not a storm, and it is difficult to walk in the world. ”

Wang Xuezheng chewed carefully, only feeling that it was tens of thousands of famous articles, and the afterglow of reading it was long, like drinking fine wine. And the meaning of farewell in the words just coincides with this situation, and I feel that Xu Xian has great talent without revealing it, and there is no such thing as the so-called talents in Pingyue, but the things made are worlds apart. He turned back to the banquet and poured a glass of residual wine, and drank it in one gulp. smiled: "A good article can be drunk, and it should have been drunk again." It's just that now I can't drink enough, so I'll leave it at that. Fame and fame and food, fame and food, hahahaha. ”

With a hearty laugh, Wang Xuezheng left in a dashing manner, leaving everyone looking at each other, but their eyes involuntarily fell on Xu Xian.

The county magistrate looked at the young man in front of him, his heart was full of envy, he didn't know how long he had been in the officialdom. Although it is the same as the sky in the eyes of the people, it is really a sesame mung bean in the officialdom. And Xu Xian got a huge advantage by chance, and when he was on the rise, how could a county order be taken into account? I couldn't help but rethink my attitude towards this young man in the future.

Song Xiucai is happy for Xu Xian, but also a little bitter, he can't pass the exam in his life, I'm afraid there is no difficulty for Xu Xian. Although Wang Xuezheng said that he would not take care of Xu Xian, even this old Xiucai knew that it was just a scene. If a person is really honest to this point, it is difficult to survive in the officialdom, and what can he talk about taking care of others.

Xu Xianshang was a little ignorant, only knowing that he could mix more easily, and when the white lady came, he had to show off with her and so on. Fundamentally. He is not a saint who is bent on helping the world and the people, he is just an ordinary person who has thought about peace. It's just that with his surname, with such a world, it is a thousand difficulties.

That Li Si was beaten up and lay at home to recuperate. The ruffians and scoundrels around him all came to visit, saying that they wanted to make Xu Xian look good. The results were all rejected by him, and the words spoken by the master who was measured the night before yesterday still made him feel cold, "Don't do anything again, otherwise your surname will be difficult to protect." The vaguely revealed information that Xu Xian has been taken by the big people from Beijing. Li Si still knows how many pounds and taels he has, and it's okay to bully and bully ordinary people, but some people want to crush him to death, but it's no different from crushing bed bugs.

He was so quiet that he was naturally looked down upon by his henchmen, and gradually alienated him, he lost his power, and even the ordinary people were not as afraid of him as before. In desperation, I found an errand, but I slowly got out of this way, started a serious business, married a wife and had children, that is a later story.

Xu Xian still lives his ordinary life, reading, cultivating, and occasionally doing some good deeds. He thinks that it is difficult for him to make great achievements in reading, and he is not good at cultivation. But he never considered himself the best of the best. I just want to live in a house in the future, marry a gentle and graceful wife, and eat meat every day.

Xu Xian, a young man with no big ambitions, waited for the arrival of the White Lady, and then lived the life in his mind, nothing more. But the world is unpredictable, and the seemingly simple goal is really simple? The blazing flame burning in his soul accumulated, waited, and said the moment when he ascended to the middle of the heavens. Shine all over the world, who will resist.
