Chapter 16 Fortune Telling

Songyang Academy once again held a literary meeting after 20 years. Seen’s grand event, especially Lu Li, the dean of the Imperial College of Supreme Learning, was present in person, and some nearby scholars came to hear the news, which immediately made golden flower lively.

Wu Jun also joined in the fun and set up a street stall, trying to make a fortune from him.

Wu Jun was wearing a daoist robe, sitting in front of the Gua stall, with a gray beard on his chin, a pair of white hair ruddy complexion, dive poise and sagelike features.

Qin Yue’er leaned against the wall in the shade, watching Wu Jun and the passers-by with interest. with keen interest pleasure.

A scholar walked through the market, looking around in novelty, and at first glance, it was a scholar who came from out of town to join in the fun.

Glancing at the pretense of Wu Jun’s fortune teller stall, the scholar came over curiously: “One penny and one trigram, you only charge one penny for fortune telling?”

Wu Jun indifferently said: “Do you count?”

The scholar took out a penny and slapped it on the table with a playful face: “Come and do the math for me and see if I can get into the top spot.”

Wu Jun pulled the copper plate into the dustpan, said without thinking: “I can’t pass the test.”

The smile on the scholar’s face suddenly froze: “Why?”

Wu Jun lifted the He squinted his eyelids and said, “If you want to know, give me another penny.”

The scholar heard this, took out another copper plate, and said, “Why didn’t I get the top spot?”

Wu Jun rolled his eyes and said, “Have you ever seen a one-penny hexagram stall? Even if you think with your toes, you know that my hexagram stall is fake. Your brain basically says goodbye to the champion.” As he scratched the copper coins into the dustpan, there was a crisp sound of ding.

The scholar was at a loss for words. After a while, he laughed, and moved towards Songyang Academy in the direction of his unfortunate self-confidence.

Qin Yue’er said with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid of being beaten after scolding so many people?”

Wu Jun bumped the heavy copper coins in the dustpan and said with a smile: “These people are all here to participate in the literary society. It’s humiliating to fight with people for a few pennies. If it spreads out, it may affect their careers. They are not so stupid.”

This At that time, Master Chen in Songyang Academy sneezed violently, looked up at the scorching sun above his head, and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the sun for such a long time, and I’m not used to it.”

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn’t help but sighed: “Ai, I’m so disappointed to see you look like this now. Is this the same Chen Muzhi who crowned the scholar back then?”

Master Chen’s eyes After a little dark, he said, “Continue to look at the homework.”

Lu Li stopped talking and continued to look at the homework that the students had handed in, and suddenly expressed congeals, saying: “I love Lianzhi. It comes out of the mud without being stained, and it is clear and clean without being a demon… Good article, just this sentence can be passed down through the ages!”

Lu Li was in the Imperial court, and he was used to seeing the darkness of officialdom for many years. Already exhausted.

“Out of the mud but not stained, clean and clean but not demonic” just gave him encouragement at this time and made him more determined. Even if the officialdom is dark, he himself can be like a lotus flower. The mud is not stained, and the belief in maintaining your own noble character!

Lu Li repeatedly watched the article in his hand with love and praised: “You can teach such students, it seems that Senior Brother, you have not been wasting your time all these years.”

Master Chen knew the students in the academy like the back of his hand. He was a little surprised that someone could write such an article. Brows slightly wrinkle leaned forward and looked at it, and suddenly showed a strange expression.

Lu Li’s eyes kept staring at the “Ai Lian Talk”, unaware of the change in his expression, he stood up and said, “What a good Zhou Bin, look at his text and know who he is, this Zhou Bin will be like this. It’s the same as the article, and it’s very proud! I can’t wait to go out and meet with this and the others!” While speaking, he took the “Love Lotus” and walked quickly to the venue in the front yard.

In the venue, the students who came from all over the place were rightly hanging their book bags, drinking and writing poems, with the attitude of scribes.

Seeing Lu Li coming in, the noise in the venue was silent, and everyone moved towards him.

Lu Li looked around the students with excitement on his face and asked, “Who is Zhou Bin?”

The fat on Zhou Bin’s face trembled, and his small eyes released rays of light, stood up and said, “President, I’m Zhou Bin!”

Lu Li shifted his gaze to him with a condensed expression. The imaginary students who were far apart stammered: “Okay, good article, Zhu Bin, you can write an article…” He gritted his teeth and said, “President, my name is Zhou Bin.”

Lu Li realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said, “Zhou Bin, where are the poems you wrote, read them out for everyone to listen to!”

Zhou Bin was hearing this, knowing that it was time for him to be in the limelight, he packed up his mood, put his hand behind his back, and said, “This poem is about the students who see Dean Lu, they admire and wish to stay. Serving beside the dean makes me sad.”

“Since the dean wants students to study, students’ deference is no substitute for obedience.”

Zhou Bin said with a cough, Then he raised his face slightly, and recited a poem written by Wu Jun: “A thousand miles of yellow clouds and white sun, the north wind blows wild geese and snow.”

As soon as these two poems came out, the atmosphere in the field It suddenly became warm.

Several students seem to have seen a scene of sunset and dusk, and the snow is flying. In the north wind blowing wildly, they can only see the geese in the distance and the cold clouds appearing, which makes people feel a sense of sadness. Affection.

Lu Li’s breathing became a little heavier, and he couldn’t wait to urge: “What about the back?”

Zhou Bin saw everyone’s reaction, he said he had a door, and maintained a graceful attitude. He continued to read: “Mochou…Mochou…”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly stuttered.

Although he recited the poems given by Wu Jun just in case, he didn’t expect Lu Li to spot him. Suddenly, he couldn’t remember. Poems at the back!

Looking at the anticipation of everyone present, Zhou Bin broke out in a cold sweat. >

At this moment, Master Chen walked into the venue at some point and said, “Okay, since I can’t remember, let’s do it first. The others continue, Zhou Bin, come with me.”

p>

Zhou Bin heard this, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing that he looked towards Master Chen gratefully like a savior, he hurriedly followed.

Lu Li, frowned, also followed, came to the desk in the backyard, and couldn’t help asking: “Senior Brother, why did you interrupt me, I have to accept Zhu Zhu in front of the students. Bin is a discipline…”

Zhou Bin cowering in a low voice: “It’s Zhou Bin…”

Lu Li turned his head and glared at him, then turned his face back and waited. Master Chen gave him an explanation.

Master Chen smiled: “This poem was not written by Zhou Bin, but if you really want to accept him as a discipline, I will not stop you.”

Lu Limeng Startled on the ground, his eyes looked like electricity towards Zhou Bin: “You didn’t write it?”

Zhou Bin was so frightened by his terrifying eyes that he shrank his neck and said tremblingly: “It wasn’t written by me, I bought these two poems for twenty silver tael…”

Lu Li was instantly furious, slapped the table with his right hand, collapsed the table with a bang, and grabbed it. The collar on Zhou Bin’s chest said, “You tell me this kind of article is worth twenty taels? Tell me, who wrote these two poems!”

Zhou Bin was so frightened that he almost cried. , hurriedly said: “Benevolent Heart Hall in the Northern Part of City, if you think it’s expensive, go and say that I introduced it, and I can give you a 10% discount!”

“You can also get another 10% discount! ?”

Lu Li almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but he laughed out loud, let go of Zhou Bin, turned his head slowly and looked towards Master Chen: “It turned out to be that little guy.”

“Senior Brother, I remember you said that he is not your Disciple, right? Unpolished jade wont be able to become a powerhouse, this time I will take him in as a disciple and guide him no matter what. On the right path!”
