Divine Book Era

Chapter 25
"This poem is for you!"

Liu Xiu said suddenly.

"This gift is too expensive!" Your young master took a deep breath and said involuntarily.

Cultural treasures have always been rare, even the lowest level Confucian cultural treasures are extremely rare.

Only with the power to start wisdom, the power to educate, and the power to suppress luck, can it be turned into a cultural treasure.

Between heaven and earth, there are many articles and poems, but there are too few articles with the power to open wisdom, the power to educate, and the power to suppress luck, even if it is a family of saints.

The family he belongs to is extremely powerful, but there are not many cultural treasures.

And this cultural treasure has the power to open up wisdom and the power to educate all living beings. Although it is not a great Confucian cultural treasure, it is extremely hard to find.

"When you give me a cup of tea, you are giving me friendship; when I give you an article, I am giving you friendship!" Liu Xiu said lightly, with a calm expression, indescribably flat.

"In that case, then I will accept it!" Your young master accepted it immediately, and it would be a bit hypocritical to refuse.Immediately, the beautiful maid at the side stepped forward and was about to put away the manuscript. She took the paper, but she didn't move it. She only felt the thin paper as if it weighed a thousand catties.

"It's so heavy!" the maidservant couldn't help exclaiming.

"Fool!" Your young master said, "good essays are used to plant the way, and the Spring and Autumn Period is written with a wonderful pen. , a word is like a thousand catties; a word of great Confucianism, a word is like a thousand weights; a word of a sage, a word is like Mount Tai."

"As for this Confucian article, a word weighs a thousand pounds, count how many words, and measure how heavy it is!"

"So heavy?"

Liu Xiu was also slightly surprised.

The Heavenly Snake King speaks a thousand catties a penny; but this noble young master talks a thousand catties a penny.

I don't know who is right and who is wrong!
Liu Xiu stretched out her hand to take the paper, but felt that it was light, it didn't weigh a thousand catties, it was just a piece of paper.

Floating, like nothing.

"It's not too heavy!" Liu Xiu asked.

"Cultural treasures are important only because the Dao is in it; the Dao is invisible, it can be as heavy as Mount Tai, but as light as a feather. If you understand the Dao, it will naturally be as light as a feather; if you don't understand it, it will naturally be as heavy as Mount Tai!" said the nobleman , "Wenbao is hard to find, but gold is not easy."

"However, if you give it to me as a gift, it will be as light as ordinary paper if it is contaminated with my breath!"

"I don't know your surname?" Liu Xiu asked.

"Han Hu!" Your son said.

Liu Xiu picked up a pen and wrote on it, "For Han Hu".

With that said, he presented the manuscript to Han Hu.

"Wood is called splendor, and grass is called glory. Those who are not proud but solid are called beauty." Han Hu said, "Your Excellency, it is a good name!"

Liu Xiudao: "Wang Fen is as violent as a shock and as angry as he is, and he is as fierce as a tiger! Hearing his name, you can know who he is. Brother Han must be a generation with both civil and military skills!"

"Writing is as good as it is, so is martial arts. The world is divided into four parts, and martial arts are constantly going on. Our generation should rush for thousands of miles..." Han Hu said.

As expected of a noble young master, I am not comparable to humble scholars like me.

Liu Xiu praised in his heart.

A wealthy and noble family with a rich family background can only follow the path of Wen Yunwu and become a minister of the country.

And he is a student from a humble family, with a shallow family background, barely studying, as for the fact that he has no capital to practice martial arts, and has inherent defects, even if he makes up for it later, it is only in the quenching state.

"How strong is his martial art?" Liu Xiu asked the Heavenly Snake King.

The Heavenly Snake King said: "Marrow Washing Realm!"

"It turns out that his aptitude is not as good as Bai Susu's!" Liu Xiu couldn't help thinking.

Bai Susu is already in the third innate state, the state of Tongqiao; while Han Hu is only in the first innate state, the marrow washing state.

"You can't say that!" The Heavenly Snake King said lightly: "The acquired three realms and the innate three realms all pay attention to laying the foundation, laying the foundation, in order to hit the fish-dragon realm and lay a foundation. The deeper the foundation, the better the fish-dragon realm. The farther you go, the greater your potential. As for the speed of cultivation, it is not very important!"

"Han Hu is only 16 years old, young, and spent a lot of time polishing the foundation, but it seems to be slower!"

Laying the foundation is important, but speed is not.

The Heavenly Snake King warned again: "You are now on the road of a warrior. If you want to become the strongest warrior, you must lay a good foundation. Don't pursue fast cultivation speed, don't pursue strong combat power, but lay the strongest and most stalwart. Foundation!"

"Brother Han, I don't know where the Dragon Boat Festival will be, and what are the rules?" At this time, Liu Xiucai asked the theme.

"The Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Club is divided into the outer poetry club and the inner poetry club. The outer poetry club is mainly for ordinary scholars, and it is mainly for gathering together to discuss the Tao; the outer poetry club is mainly for the children of the aristocratic family. Scholars, at least to resonate with others, still need invitations!"

Han Hu said.

Liu Xiu vaguely understood that the peripheral poetry clubs were mainly aimed at students from poor families, those children, scholars and the like.These people need to build up their reputation, increase their popularity, and establish good relations with school officials, so as to gain an advantage in scientific examinations; the inner circle poetry club is mainly aimed at some children of aristocratic families, some scholars who have achieved higher fame.

Most of these scholars have achieved success and fame, and they don't need to gain fame. They mainly make friends with each other and form a so-called party, just like the new party and the old party in the Song Dynasty, and the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty.

The former has no threshold, as long as you are a scholar, you can participate; while the latter has a strict threshold, and you are not eligible to join if you do not meet certain qualifications.

"I'd better participate in the peripheral poetry meeting!"

Liu Xiu nodded and said.

It's better to participate in the peripheral poetry meeting and be more realistic.

Participating in peripheral poetry clubs can better accumulate reputation and increase popularity.

Only those who are famous and popular can be selected as scholars and candidates.

"Brother Liu, it's better to participate in the Inner Circle Poetry Club!" Han Hu said: "The outer poetry club is presided over by a student envoy from Yingzhou; while the inner circle poetry club is hosted by an adult from the capital! I can introduce you to join the Neiwei Poetry Club!"

The peripheral poetry associations became famous, but they were limited to the prefectures and counties; while the inner poetry associations, famous and established, spread to the capital.

Not in a class!

"Wherever gold is, it will shine. A sage is not afraid, and it is difficult to spread his reputation. He only worries about the lack of talent, lack of virtue, and lack of courage!" Liu Xiu said: "People are valuable with self-knowledge. My current talent is only He is a scholar, but he is reluctant to raise people, his talents are shallow, and he is not qualified to participate in the internal poetry meeting!"

The way to be a man is to have self-knowledge;
The way to be a human being is not to overestimate your ability or underestimate your potential, but to recognize how much you have.

The internal poetry meeting is not only a discussion of poetry, but also a discussion of various aspects.

In the internal poetry meeting, all the disciples of the aristocratic families participated, all of them were of profound background, they were all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, both civil and military, with good martial arts cultivation, and some even practiced immortal arts.

And Liu Xiu is much inferior. What he has learned for many years is only for the imperial examination, only for the title of the gold list. I can't paint, I just dabbled in martial arts, I don't know immortal arts, and I don't know many things.

Imperial education, competition for aristocratic education;
Exam-oriented talents compete for quality talents.

The ending is destined.

If Liu Xiu didn't know what to do, if he went to participate in the internal poetry meeting, he would definitely lose.
