Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 32 Tsing Yi Lin Xuanyi

"Mountains and forests are at a loss in the morning and the city, and the red leaves and yellow flowers come from the river. The wild waters take advantage of people's promises, and the long pines don't know how old they are." A young man in Tsing Yi stared at the red leaves all over the mountain, and made a fool of himself.

"Okay, great poem! Brother Lihe's poem is full of the beauty of Fragrant Mountain, but it makes me unable to recite the beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery in front of me is indescribable. It's a pity, a pity!"

"Yeah, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let brother Lihe start."

……

On the top of Xiangshan Mountain, under a big pine tree surrounded by several people, four or five students sat together casually, talking and laughing happily, and pointing out the country, as if they were tens of thousands of households in the dung.These students are the most prominent Luding Five Masters of Luding Academy. Apart from Qin, Shi, You, and Lin mentioned by Guo Xiu, the last one is Guo Pu. Although Guo Xiu is proud of his son, but In front of Yinzuo, he didn't have the nerve to say too much, so he didn't mention that his son was also one of the five heroes.

There are dozens of bookstores in the north and south of the river, and there are not a few with a long history. If you look at the historical background, Luding Bookstore is not ranked at all, but Luding Bookstore has four major advantages that other bookstores cannot compare : First of all, it is the reputation of Zhangshan Guoxiu. Although Guo Xiu's level of knowledge may not be as good as Wang Shizhen of Bailu Shuyuan, nor Fang Bao of Tongcheng School, but the name of a generation of upright officials is placed there, which is half-hearted. This is Bao Longtu; secondly, the Shuyuan not only has a high salary (salary), but also has an open academic atmosphere. No matter what school of Confucianism you are in, you can come to teach, so it has attracted many great Confucians to come here; Convenient; the most important thing is that Luding Academy is completely free, and there is a high scholarship available for those who study well; this naturally attracts the attention of many students, but it is not easy to enroll , You have to pass the exam, and anyone who can enter the school has to have a good time.

Qin Hao, styled Zhixu, was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi; Shi Zhihao, styled Mingyi, was born in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi; Youye, styled Minglian, was born in the capital, and his father was a servant in the Ministry of Officials, so he was a son of an official; Lin Xuanyi, styled Lihe , from Jinling; Guo Pu, from Jimo, Shandong; although these five people came to Luding Bookstore at different times, they hit it off immediately, and they often read literature and poetry together, and they happened to be good at writing, so they were called Deer Ding Wujie.No, today Yinzuo was taking the exam questions, the class was suspended, and the five of them went to the Fragrant Hilltop for their dissertations as usual, and they were chatting happily when a man rushed out from the middle of the mountain and shouted out of breath: "Lin, Lin, Lin Lihe, Zhangshan has, please."

Luding Bookstore covers a very large area, a full area of ​​one hundred acres, surrounded by four three-story buildings. Guo Xiu's office happens to be in a small two-story building in the middle of the bookstore.Although Lin Xuanyi came to Luding Academy for less than a year, he did not miss Guo Xiu's office. He came here twice just to receive the scholarship. The door is familiar, although I don't know what the old man Guo called today, but he is not nervous at all. When he reaches the door, he straightens his clothes and goes in.

"Student Lin Xuanyi has met Master Zhangshan." Lin Xuanyi bowed his hands respectfully, but when he raised his head, he found that Guo Xiu was not the only one in the room, and beside him stood a young man. Although his clothes were simple, he couldn't hide his richness. Furious, he couldn't help being curious, and secretly deduced the young man's face, but found that he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation: from the appearance, the young man's wide and thick forehead should be extremely wealthy, but the middle of the forehead is There is a saying that extremely shallow mildew lines should be a sign of premature death, but the person is not short, the eyes are bright, and it clearly shows that this person has a long life, it is really strange.While he was wondering, Mr. Guo said with a smile: "Li He, I have read today's old man Wen, and it is well written. I called you here because I have a question to test you."

Lin Xuanyi hurriedly withdrew his searching gaze, and replied respectfully: "Master Zhangshan please come up with a question, and the students just do their best."

"Well, there are only two villages, A and B, in a certain place. The people in A village always say the truth, and the people in B village say everything is false. One day, a traveler came to visit. When he met a certain Ding, he asked, "Which village are you from?" People?' replied: "A village." Later, a certain C passed by. The traveler asked a certain D to ask a certain C from which village. : What village is Mr. Ding from? Why?" Guo Xiu twisted his beard and asked the question with a smile.

As soon as Guo Xiu finished speaking, Lin Xuanyi immediately interjected: "Ding is from Village A. The reason is as follows: no matter what village C is from, he will claim that he is from Village A; if Ding is from Village B, he will return Travelers should say that certain C is from village B, so certain D can only be from village A."

"Okay!" The applause was not Guo Xiu, but Yinzuo who had been pretending to be a servant. Needless to say, this question was written by Yinzuo. Although it is not difficult, it is not easy to find the key to the problem in a short time Regarding the matter, Lin Xuanyi's ability to come up with the answer so quickly shows that his reasoning ability is extremely strong, and Yinzuo's evaluation of Lin Xuanyi is much higher in his heart.

"May I ask your honor and name?" Lin Xuanyi was very curious about Yin Zuo, and couldn't help but look at Yin Zuo again and again.

"Hehe, you are a great talent, you might as well guess." Yin Zuo replied with a smile.

"Student Lin Xuanyi met Lord Baylor." Lin Xuanyi bowed to the bottom, his waist bent, but he did not kneel down.

Heh, this kid guessed who we are, yet he dared not to kneel down, hey, he must have been fooled, right?Yin Zuo said with a smile: "How do you know that I am Baylor?"

"There are three reasons: first, the book garden was opened by Lord Belle, and it is not a surprise that Lord Belle appeared here; Three, those who can speak in front of Lord Zhangshan must have a higher status than Lord Zhangshan; it is not difficult to guess the identity of Lord Baylor based on the above factors." Lin Xuanyi chatted without any restraint.

Depend on!This kid is quite arrogant, interesting.Yin Zuo also knew in his heart that most of these talented people are full of pride. As the saying goes, it is extremely difficult to subdue this kind of people, but it is because of the difficulty that they are challenging, and this kind of people Once you return to your heart, you can die for the confidant.

There is no rush to subdue him, and Yin Zuo has no intention of making him return today, but it is necessary to leave a deep impression on this person.Yin Zuo pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Lin's handwriting is good, and the writing is also excellent, but there are two omissions in today's writing."

Since ancient times, there is no first in writing, and no second in martial arts. When it comes to the pros and cons of an article, it is natural that I write well. If others are told in front of a ten-year-old child that there are omissions in his article, he will definitely be furious. But Lin Xuanyi didn't get angry at all, just smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Please advise."

"I can't talk about advice. Your Excellency's article is as follows: 'It is advisable for a sage to travel and hide, and those who can do it will show it..." Yin Zuo opened his mouth, recited the whole text in one breath, and then said with a smile: "There is one sparseness: there is no tiredness, and 'no tiredness' (1) belongs to the latter sentence, although it is related to this topic, but it is not what the title implies, and it is slightly off topic; the second sparseness: there are few people who worry first and then enjoy themselves (2) , the fresh characters may be inappropriate, Ben Baylor thought it would be better to change them to Xian characters."

Lin Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and then saluted again: "Thank you, Lord Baylor, for your guidance, the students are ashamed."

Yinzuo smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's a great fortune to meet Mr. today. It's getting late, and Ben Baylor has to go ahead. When Mr. Jin gets his name on the gold list, Ben Baylor will invite Mr. to get drunk. Let me go." As soon as the words fell, Yinzuo left happily.

Notes (1) Wujuan means not to be lazy. This phrase comes from "The Analects of Confucius", which is the following text of Yin Zuo's title "Xian Zhi Lao Zhi". Suffice it to say, although the phrase "Wujuan" is part of the context of this topic, it seems to be digressing when it appears in the text.

(2) Worry before joy comes from Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence-worry about the world's worries before, and enjoy the world's joy after.
