Chapter 32 Two strange teenagers
The first ray of light in the morning jumped out of the clouds, and the dawn drum was already ringing on the Mingfu Gate Tower.
The sound of drums spread quietly, and the markets in the city opened one after another. The morning bells in the temple also rang, and the passionate sound of drums and the deep and distant bells intertwined, instantly awakening the entire Luoyang city and welcoming the morning sun that gushed out from the eastern sky.
Passers-by began to appear on the quiet streets, some walked slowly, some looked hurried, and more people gradually became more and more noises lingered in the sky above Luoyang City.
In Jixian Palace Academy, a figure appeared there holding a few pieces of paper, searching straight back, and walking to the front of a small courtyard.
Soon, an old man walked out of it. When he saw the visitor, he laughed and asked, "Mengde, aren't you planning to go on the road today?"
The person who came said nothing, handed over the paper in his hand and said, "I met two strange boys yesterday, and I don't plan to leave today."
"Oh?" The old man took the paper, looked down at it for a few seconds, and said, "This poem is indeed good, but I don't think you should be so worthy of Liu Meng."
"The students who wrote these poems never became disciples, and they all rely on self-study. Moreover, they were only twelve years old." Liu Yuxi smiled.
"What?" Zhang Xueshen immediately moved and asked, "Where is this boy?"
"Sir Zhang are not busy. This companion is even more wonderful." Liu Yuxi smiled and then told Zhang Xueshi what happened yesterday.
After listening to Liu Yuxi's words, Zhang Xueshi stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "You can have such knowledge at such a young age. You are not panicked when you see you, and you can recommend your friends to you. It shows your cleverness. It is indeed a talent for being a malleable. However, listening to his actions, it seems that he is not interested in entering an official position by studying."
"Therefore, the young man's nature needs to be taught by a famous teacher." Liu Yuxi said: "Otherwise, his smart mind will be used in the side and will be abandoned in vain. Both of these two sons are premature, so the young man surnamed Wei is even more serious. When someone talks to him, he treats him as an adult and forgets his age at a young age."
"Can you make you Liu Meng so praise?" Zhang Xueshi showed curiosity and said, "I'm new, where are these two sons now?"
"Haha, I told them to come to Jixianyuan earlier today. I think I will see you in a while." Liu Yuxi said.
The two of them were talking while waiting. Not long after, a student secretly looked inside from outside the door. Mr. Zhang and Liu Yuxi looked at each other and smiled. They walked to the tree together, and deliberately turned their backs to the door.
The student outside stood in front of the door and bowed, and then ran in.
But Wei Renshi and Li He got up early and neatly kept it. As soon as the door opened, they went out to Jixian Palace Academy.
"Changji, if you want to pass the Jinshi exam, it is not enough to rely on your knowledge alone. You need to recommend and submit. The bachelors in Jixiandian Academy are all great scholars today and have other positions in the court. If you can get the appreciation, your future journey will be much more convenient." Han Yu alone will not help you too much - Wei Ren kept this half sentence in his heart and did not say it.
"Where are you?" Li He asked.
Wei Renshi shook his head and smiled, "I am not here, I just want to be a rich man who is waiting to die, haha!"
While talking, the two had already arrived outside the gate of Jixian Palace Academy and stepped in. They could see Liu Yuxi and Zhang Xueshi under the tree at a glance.
The two also saw them. Wei Renshi and Li He quickly stepped forward and bowed.
After the ceremony, Wei Renshi took a step back and stood on the side.
"Are you Li He and Li Changji?" Zhang Xueshi looked at Wei Renshi, then turned his eyes to Li He and asked.
Li He hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the student."
"I heard that I dreamed that Japan is about to leave Luoyang today, but I was very curious because you and the two of you changed their itinerary." Zhang Xueshi said to Li He: "Where are you? Why do you know books?"
Mr. Zhang obviously became interested in taking the school entrance exam, asked Li He a lot of questions, and then listened to Li He's opinions.
Liu Yuxi and Wei Renshi also retreated to the back. Wei Renshi bowed to Liu Yuxi and said, "Student Acting Chief Brother Ji, thank you for your kindness in recommending you."
"You seem sure that your companion will be appreciated by Mr. Zhang?" Liu Yuxi asked with a smile.
Wei Renshi also smiled and said, "It is obvious that Changji has real talent and knowledge when he is appreciated by Mr. Liu. Moreover, I am a friend of Changji, so I naturally know his talent."
"What about you?" Liu Yuxi said again.
"Me?" Wei Renshi smiled again: "I'm going to Changjiyuan! By the way, Mr. Liu was going to leave today? But it was because the two of us disturbed Mr. Liu's itinerary. Please don't blame Mr. Liu."
"I will take the post to Weinan. I will go home to take a look. I originally planned to set off for Weinan today." Liu Yuxi said.
"Weinan?" Wei Renshi said: "Weinan is a good place! Mr. Liu will be promoted after he arrives in Weinan."
"Oh?" Liu Yuxi stared at Wei Renshi with interesting interest and asked, "Why do you say this?"
Wei Renshi naturally would not tell him that in history, he was the Censor who was in Weinan not long after he arrived in Weinan. So he just smiled and said, "The main roads of the Three Qins are all the thoroughfares, and there are plenty of good fields, and there is plenty of light, so the precipitation is suitable... Well, it is beneficial to farming anyway, and it is also a place in the capital, so it is difficult to think of political achievements!"
"You know a lot about it, have you ever been to Weinan?" Liu Yuxi asked with a smile.
Wei Renshi was about to speak, but when he heard the front of Mr. Zhang laughing suddenly, he stroked his beard and said, "Okay! OK! It's true that he is a child prodigy! Well, if you have any questions when you are studying in the future, you can come to Jixianyuan to find me to answer."
Li He was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked him again.
Students like Li He and Wei Renshi have two most difficult things. The first is that they can read too few books, and the second is that they have questions during their studies, but no one can help them solve their doubts.
Mr. Zhang is a scholar of Jixian, and he needs to say something about his knowledge. Now that he has a word, he will not be afraid of having doubts and no one will answer it in the future.
But when he saw Xue Shi Zhang turn around again, look at Wei Renshi, and say, "Li Changji is really talented, what good do you have?"
After hearing what Mr. Zhang asked, Li He hurriedly winked at Wei Renshi behind him.
Wei Renshi turned a blind eye and just politely smiled and said, "The students are stupid and have nothing to do."
When Li He heard Wei Renshi say this, he couldn't help but feel anxious and hurried forward to defend himself: "Brother Renshi's talent is far superior to that of students! Brother Renshi improves ploughs in Changgu so that women, children, old and weak can also use the ploughs to ploughs. With the ploughs improved by Brother Renshi, he can plough ten times the fields plowed out in a day, and after ploughing, he can sow seeds directly. Unlike the ploughs that have to be plowed back and forth several times. He also made a watering mechanism so that no one in a village needs to carry water to irrigate the land, and the water can pour into the fields by itself, so that the wetlands can be watered day and night without anyone taking care of them. Nowadays, people in a village do not struggle to cultivate and irrigate. Brother Renshi's talent brings real convenience to the people, and I am so far away!"
