Chapter 18: First Snow
"Good word. It's just that some are immature, and the ideas are not bad, but there are also some immature, and the basic skills are much worse. Lu Ru touched his beard and commented lightly.
"Ideas, basic skills?" Liu Ping couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these two words, Jiang was still old and spicy, and the teacher's evaluation was really to the point, straight to the source.
"Hmm. I've got all the papers from the second to the fifth, so you can take a look. Lu Ru handed over the thick stack of exam papers on the side, and Liu Ping hurriedly took it.
"Take a closer look, in fact, there is still a lot of gap between you and them, if it weren't for the handwriting and accuracy and novelty of them are a lot, you are the first, very dangerous. Lu Ru continued to criticize mercilessly: "Especially this fifth, if it wasn't for the wrong question, this time, I'm afraid it would be him, I read his article, and he really has the posture of a fellow jinshi, even I can't underestimate it." β
Hearing this, Liu Ping was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly looked at their exam papers, and after reading them one by one, his heart suddenly cooled half, and he was proud of being the first, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only horror and shock.
I feel that I have done flawlessly, which is very standard, but looking at the test papers of these people, I feel that it is still obviously a big difference.
It's unimaginable that there could be such a big gap?
Although there is a gap between the second, third and fourth, it is not very obvious, but with the fifth, the difference is very large, these articles, word by word, incisive, let Liu Ping open his eyes, it turns out that he can still understand it like this, analyze it like this, and quote it like this!
This person is really a genius! Liu Ping also knows the rules of this autumn season, and if he writes a wrong article, he will be immediately dismissed, so where is there room for maneuver? This person made a mistake in the question, and he was not only on the list, but also on the list, and one can imagine how deeply those examiners recognized this article.
"Who made such a good article?" Liu Ping's heart moved, and he hurriedly looked at the name, and there were three elegant words written on it - Zhu Yingtai.
"It's him!" I was shocked, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, I remember that I just looked down on the same posture, commenting that he was very extraordinary, and now I look at it, it turns out that people's abilities are far greater than their own, and they suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at Liu Ping's expression change, Lu Ru knew that his beating was successful, and he criticized him with words, and the young man was angry, maybe he couldn't listen to it at all, but using this fact to tell him that it was easy for him to intuitively feel the gap between himself and others. Of course, if he is really arrogant, he can't feel it, but if he does, he will be disappointed.
However, Lu Ru is still quite satisfied with his own student, although the basic skills and citations in his articles are not as good as those talents, but whether it is handwriting or novelty, it is not what those few people have, otherwise he will not be selected as the head of the case, even if he is his protΓ©gΓ©, he will not be selected by others.
The most critical point is that this Liu Ping is only thirteen years old, a young genius, talented, and constantly innovative, no worse than Zhu Yingtai, who is the same as Jinshi.
"The student has been taught!" Liu Pingchao was deeply concerned about this Lu Ru, if it weren't for today's mention, his impetuousness and pride would gradually sprout, maybe it would be uncontrollable, and the consequences would be unpredictable. Now that you have recognized your own extent, it is equivalent to finding the right direction again, which is really crucial.
"I've heard of your new poem, and maybe it's better to say an aphorism. Lu Ru took a slight sip of the teacup and said, "From the grinding, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Since you can understand this truth, you should also understand that I mean, you have not experienced too many tribulations, too much hard study, and naturally you cannot stand out from the crowd and dominate the group. So you still need to work Haode. β
"Students are taught!" Liu Ping once again sighed deeply.
"It's good that you understand this, this is my letter of recommendation to you and that Wang Hong. Go to the Apocalypse Academy to study hard for a year or two, and then go to Chunfu. Lu Ru took out two letters and handed them over.
Now Liu Ping naturally knows the meaning of the Apocalypse Academy, this academy has the same long history as the Great Xia Dynasty, and there have been eight champions, eleven lists, eighteen tanhua, jinshi and fellow jinshi, and there are countless of them. Entering it, it is like a very good relationship and qualifications. Every year, I don't know how many shows want to enter it, and it's really a head-scratch.
At the beginning, the prefect said that he and Wang Hong would be 'recommended'. The so-called recommendation is to recommend to the top with the attitude of the following. In fact, whether it is status or origin, it is enough for Lu Ru to say the word recommendation.
After taking the letter of recommendation, we talked again, and then I took my leave.
Withdrew, Wang Hong and the others naturally couldn't wait at the door, they all sat quietly in the living room, followed the maid there, and shook the letter of recommendation in his hand. Wang Hong immediately showed a look of ecstasy: "With this, you and I can both be students of the Apocalypse Academy next year, what a luck!"
After that, he rested for half a day, and drove to the direction of Qinshui County in the early morning of the next day.
Two days later, Liu Ping and Liu Yue returned to the village, and the villagers and elders stood up one by one to greet them, beating gongs and drums, and firecrackers rang out in unison.
Liu Ping also responded one by one, and those who behaved contemptuously in the past became respectful and abnormal.
There is even a hunter who almost knelt down to make amends, and sued again and again, if you take a closer look, isn't it the first person you saw in this shijie a long time ago, when she just crossed over?
Now it is naturally impossible to blame him carefully, in fact, he does not have much ill intentions, so he said that he has forgotten about it, and Orion thanked him again and again.
Back at home, Liu Ping looked at the almost new home, and he had a feeling of not knowing, and the improvement of his status brought about an intuitive feeling was so big.
"Dad, this is a land deed of 80 acres of fertile land, which the government gave to the head of the case. Liu Ping took out a field deed from his bosom and said: "Similarly, the government will also send some money and grain every month, although it is not much, but it is also a lot, enough for daily expenses, so it is better to hire someone to take care of those fields." You two are not young, so you don't have to work too hard. β
Liu Mu said with a smile: "My son is really outstanding, go out and come back is really mature." β
"Mother praised. Liu said with a smile.
He became a showman, and the changes he brought to this family were very great, but this was not enough at all, and he had to take the examination and the Jinshi, and he must not stop there.
Father Liu nodded and said: "I naturally know this, I will take care of it, you can study hard, last time I asked you to go to the Wang family to study, it was really helpless, this time I bought a lot of books, you can read them well." β
Liu Ping nodded: "Thank you, father!"
The days passed, and in the blink of an eye it was winter, and then the first snow came.
Walk out of the study and into the courtyard. He took a breath of white air, looked up at the snowflakes that were constantly sprinkled in the sky shrouded in thick clouds, listened to the whistling wind in his ears, reached out to take a piece of snowflakes, looked at the gradual melting process, couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and whispered: "The days go by so fast." β
"It's snowing!" Liu Yue's voice came from the side, her whole body was wrapped in thick winter clothes, and Miaoman's body was not visible, only a cute face was revealed outside.
"Well, it's snowing. Liu Ping suddenly remembered something, left the house, and came all the way to the tree hole where Bai Zhi was, looking at the jade light on her wrist flashing, she immediately smiled, knowing that she was coming soon.
Sure enough, a small white fox came out, rubbed his eyes with his forelimbs very humanely, looked at Liu Pingdao: "What are you doing, little minister, I'm going to hibernate." β
"Aren't foxes not hibernating?" Liu Ping said with some surprise: "I see that it is snowing, and the weather is gradually getting colder, so I want to take you home and live together, after you turn into a human form, the demonic energy can gradually converge, and it should be fine." β
Bai Zhi said: "But where am I an ordinary fox? It is so cold in winter, my brothers and sisters have the habit of hibernating." I won't go to your house, it's more comfortable and safer to sleep here. β
Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Liu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "In this case, you can continue to sleep." Be careful. β
"Well, Xiao Xianggong zaijian. β
Turning to leave, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was constantly howling, but this was nothing to Liu Ping, who was already preparing to survive the tribulation of the sun fire. Soon he was back home.
Lunch at noon is hot pot, the charcoal is burning underneath, and a large pot of various foods is constantly boiling in it, exuding a rich fragrance and seducing people's cheeks. In winter, there are few vegetarian foods, most of them are cabbage, but there are a lot of meat, all kinds of mountain delicacies, as well as beef, mutton, pork, pork belly, and mouth noodles.
The servant of the family, Mother Wu, saw that the Spring Festival was approaching, so she let her go back to reunite with her family.
After a big meal, he stroked his lower abdomen contentedly, and looked out through the crack in the door, where a layer of snow had accumulated.
"Hey, this snow is really not small. Liu Ping sighed, and sure enough, it went down until the next morning.
When I opened the door, there was a thick layer of snow that was a foot deep.
"This is a snow disaster, right?" Liu Mu said with some concern: "It's a little difficult for the people in the village to go out now...... Alas......"
"Ruixue is a good year!" Liu Ping smiled to break his mother's worries.
Father Liu also nodded and said, "Yes, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, next year will definitely be a good year, this is a good omen." β
"Really?" said Liu Mu smiled.
And Liu Yue was already building a snowman, and Liu Ping also smiled and walked over to build it together.
Rolling on the ground with a fist-sized snowball, back and forth a few times, it gradually turned into a huge snowball more than one meter high, and put the small snowball launched by Liu Yue on it, almost on the branches, and it was done.
But Liu Yue's evaluation was merciless: "It's really ugly!"
"......" Liu was speechless.
Looking at her brother's appearance, Liu Yue suddenly smiled.
"Not bad, right...... The snow is starting to fall again, so let's go home. β
"Hmm. β
Because of the snowman, their hands were red from the cold, and the two of them sat down next to the stove, stretched out their hands, felt the heat, and after a while, it was not cold.
They looked up at each other and laughed heartily.
