In the small alley of Pingqiu Lane, an unpretentious carriage appeared, and an old man with white hair walked down from it, staggering to the depths of the alley.

Most of the people living in this alley are some scholars who have not had a good career, they lived here after losing the imperial examination, and the rent here is relatively cheap, and these people did not choose to return to their hometowns and stay in the capital, because they had the intention of breaking the boat.

Although Pingqiu Lane is not rich and noble, and there is an atmosphere of poverty everywhere, there will be dignitaries and nobles coming here every month, and the purpose of these people is very simple, that is, to find truly talented people as their staff.

However, Yuan Yuan of Pingqiu Lane was destitute, as a famous person in this small alley, he could have left here and gone to the mansion of a dignitary, became his guest, and enjoyed the glory and wealth.

But he refused countless invitations, so he ended up like this. He participated in the imperial examination twice, and he thought that Jinshi and the first were like picking up things, but the result made him angry, and he fell to Sun Shan twice, which exacerbated his dissatisfaction and wildness.

Therefore, in that grand gathering of talents, he got drunk without any scruples, and then wrote a thousand words of article with a wave, and everyone present was shocked.

At that time, among that group of people, there was Yang Shen, who was the first in the world in terms of conceited talent, and when he saw the depressed Yuan Yuan, he realized that the other party's talent was not under him. It's just because of bad luck that it didn't soar.

Yang Shen asked himself if he was not the son of Shoufu. Will he also work hard like Yuan Yuan. Ten years of cold windows, all in vain?

He couldn't answer, because the imperial examination of the imperial court was staggeringly rigorous, and few people were able to cheat for personal gain. Yang Shen relied on his own talent and learned and was admitted to the Jinshi, and no one dared to gossip.

Because his talent is recognized by the world, other scholars often see him reciting poems against him, and they know his strength. Naturally, he didn't dare to rap, but there was one exception, this person was Yuan Yuan, in his opinion, Yang Shen's poetry was not much better than him, but he was promoted to such a position, and he had to condescend to the poor, and the feeling of not meeting talent would be displayed in the poetry from time to time.

Those big people in the imperial court naturally knew about Yuan Yuan. But this person is too wild and unruly, and unruly, so the cabinet has already made a decision, Yuan Yuan. No one in sight, arrogant, never hired.

Although there is no explicit order. But it was an invisible decree tacitly understood by everyone, so Yuan Yuan participated in the imperial examination for the second time. I have already won the Jinshi, and the ranking is not low. was disqualified by the examiner.

The arrogant Yuan Yuan naturally didn't know the inside story, and when he saw that there was no name on it on the day he released the list, he couldn't help but feel angry, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he passed out like that.

When he woke up, it was in his bed, and then he saw Yang Shen, whom he had never taken seriously, and the latter was very polite to him and seemed to appreciate him. Yuan Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did Yang Gongzi come here?"

Yang Shen smiled and said, "When I saw Yuan Gongzi fainting, I sent you back, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

Yuan Yuan snorted and said, "It's not a relative, Yang Gongzi seems to be unreasonable." ”

Yang Shen finally confessed: "I can't hide it, I admire Yuan Gongzi's talent and learning, and I want to make peace with your poems." ”

When Yuan Yuan heard Yang Shen say this, he couldn't help but be happy and angry, happy that he was a world-famous talent, the son of the first assistant of the dignified, who looked up to himself so much, and wanted to sing and make peace with his poems, but he was angry that this person's words were a little unruly, which was a provocation to him.

Yuan Yuan naturally agreed, he wanted to see if Yang Shen could really compare to him under his fame. The two improvised poems in that dilapidated room, whether it was palindromic poems or Tibetan poems, and they had many battles, only between them.

Later, the two had a pair with each other, but they couldn't tell the winner, from the evening to the bright moon hanging high, the excitement came, and the two of them had forgotten the time.

At that moment, Yang Shen experienced unprecedented happiness, and Yuan Yuan also walked out of the gloom of falling off the list, and the two of them sympathized with each other and became confidants.

Since then, Yang Shen would go to Pingqiu Lane every few days to discuss poetry with Yuan Yuan, and the two formed an inseparable friendship, regardless of each other. Yang Shen did not dislike Yuan Yuan's poverty, and Yuan Yuan did not pretend to be high enough to turn Yang Shen away.

Everyone in the world thinks that Yang Shen's best friend is Zhang Han, because the two have similar backgrounds, but they didn't expect that Yang Shen's best friend in his life was the poor and depressed Yuan Yuan.

At Yang Shen's suggestion, he planned to let Yuan Yuan be Yang Tinghe's staff, which also satisfied his desire to become a leader, so that he could show his talents and give advice to the imperial court.

But in that case, Yuan Yuan's career will be cut off, and he will not be able to enter the Shiji and the first place in his life, enter the Hanlin Academy, become a Shujishi, and then enter the cabinet to take charge of the world.

After Yang Shen's words were finished, Yuan Yuan did not criticize harshly, but just sighed long, his expression was like ashes, Yang Shen knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized, but Yuan Yuan just said that he had been unwell recently, so he asked Yang Shen to go back.

After that, Yuan Yuan closed the door and thanked the guests, and never saw Yang Shen again, Yang Shen went several times, but it was all in vain.

Yang Shen, who was originally arrogant, actually became extremely humble and polite in the matter of Yuan Yuan, even in the face of confidantes, he never lowered his posture like this.

Yang Shen knew that Yuan Yuan said that being unwell was just an excuse, and that it was his intention to break off friendship with him, and Yang Shen looked lonely whenever he thought that he would have one less confidant in the future.

He made an excuse, since Yuan Yuan was unwell, he brought nourishing ginseng to visit, but he didn't know that the other party was still closed the door.

Yang Shen seemed to have made up his mind, standing quietly outside Yuan Yuan's door, it was a cold winter, and it didn't take long for goose feathers to fall in the sky. Yang Shen wrapped his coat and began to chant poetry loudly, and as time passed, his whole body was frozen, but his mouth was still reading aloud.

Yuan Yuan in the room heard Yang Shen's voice, his heart was mixed, suddenly, the sound outside the door disappeared, Yuan Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran out, only to see that Yang Shen had fallen in the snow.

Yuan Yuan hurriedly carried Yang Shen into the house, then boiled hot water for him, and soaked him in hot water, after Yang Shen soaked in hot water, his body was still trembling, and in desperation, Yuan Yuan had to hold him and use the heat of his body to relieve the cold on his body.

Since then, the concerns of the two have become more intimate, and Yang Shen gave his personal jade pendant to Yuan Yuan, who was poor, so he made a sachet and gave it to Yang Shen.

It's just that many people know about the friendship between the two, and after they get back together, most people don't know that Yang Shen and Yuan Yuan seem to be two in one, regardless of each other.
