Wu Mingli twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll see how my cousin impresses us."
Yun Luochuan smiled and said nothing.
The four of them sat on the stone bench, and the maid served tea and refreshments.
After serving the tea, the maid stood in the pavilion to wait, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the young master Ciao.
Ou Ziyu took a sip of tea and read out the words he composed. After finishing reading, he looked at Yun Luochuan expectantly.
Seeing this, Yun Luochuan said: "Ziyu's poem is about plum blossoms. This poem describes plum blossoms, which are fragrant in the cold, noble and self-appreciative, and not afraid of the strong and evil winds."
It also expresses that a scholar should be a noble person, not afraid of power, and have a proud character."
Ou Ziyu's eyes widened in surprise, his eyes sparkling, and he grabbed Yun Luochuan's hand, as if he had found a confidant, "Brother Yun understands my heart very well. He actually saw from this clumsy poem of mine that
expressed what I wanted to express.”
He had always thought that the Wu brothers were his close friends, but now it seemed that Brother Yun, who had just met him for the first time and understood him so well, was his close friend.
Wu Mingli and Wu Mingyi looked at each other, with disbelief in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, their idiot cousin could actually read this poem and understand it so thoroughly. They didn't understand so much.
Is this a coincidence, or is their cousin really no longer Wu Xia Amon?
Yun Luochuan smiled implicitly. Although it was just a slight smile, it was like the peaches and plums in full bloom on a spring day, which made people feel relaxed and happy just looking at it.
Ou Ziyu looked at Yun Luochuan like this and felt from the bottom of his heart that he was a man of both talent and appearance.
"What do you think, Brother Yun, of my poem?"
he asked a little nervously.
Brother Yun just said the meaning of the poem he wrote and the thoughts he wanted to express, but he didn't say whether the poem was good or not?
"Of course it is excellent," Yun Luochuan said with certainty, "If this poem is spread, it will definitely be passed down through the ages.
Ziyu, at a young age, you have such insight and can write such good poems. You will definitely be able to go to high school and become a good official in the future."
"Ha..." Wu Mingyi sneered and said, "My cousin is really a vulgar person. This person does not study for the sake of coveting power and glory."
At least this is not what the Wu family and Ziyu are studying for.
Both the Wu family and the Ou family are from scholarly and pure families, and their ancestors have ancestral precepts that their descendants should never enter officialdom.
Although they all participated in the imperial examination and now have the title of civil servant, it was just to prove their talents.
Their goal is to become a respected literary giant and be famous throughout the ages.
Rather than being trapped in officialdom, being tainted by power and the smell of money, and humiliating the family's integrity.
Yun Luochuan frowned. It was very meaningful to study, take the imperial examination, become an official and benefit all the people.
How come you have become such a vulgar person?
Why are you so greedy for power and glory?
Moreover, isn’t it true that people in this world study and seek fame in order to become officials?
Ou Ziyu's expression also changed. He thought that Brother Yun was his confidant, but it seemed that he was wrong.
"My cousin is naturally a very vulgar person, so he thinks of us as being as vulgar as him."
Wu Mingyi's face was full of contempt.
"Is being an official vulgar?
Isn’t it good to be an official?”
Yun Luochuan asked with a frown.
Wu Mingyi said sternly: "Of course it is vulgar. The officialdom is like a big dye vat, which will dye innocent people black and give birth to greed. But how many officials are good?
It is said that in three years to clear the prefecture, one can earn one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, which shows how greedy one is in an official position.
We, the Wu family and the Ou family, are both scholarly families with a clean family tradition, so we will not jump into that big dye vat, soiling ourselves and humiliating our family."
