There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 176 Lauren

"Magpie bridge meeting?" Wu Youwei read several posts over and over again: "What kind of meeting is this?"

"What is the Magpie Bridge Club? It's the Merry Club." Wantong said with a straight face, "You must never go."

"You know?" Wu Youwei was quite curious while holding the post, what kind of "will" make these people flock to it so much?

"It's to go to the Chu Pavilion in the brothel to have sex with some oirans." Wantong said very directly: "Are you going? Maybe it's possible for two people to compete for an oiran lady."

"Then I won't go." Wu Youwei threw all the invitations back on the table: "What did I say, why didn't Master Li Dongyang and Brother Qi Zhao give me an invitation, but these people are not very close in normal times The people who sent me a post, and they all mentioned the Magpie Bridge Club?"

So you want to pick up girls?

Oh, maybe it's not just about picking up girls, but also wanting to have a dewy marriage....

But Wu Youwei really couldn't let go!

Just thinking about those women's little feet... gives him goosebumps!

What is it called?This is called psychological hypersensitivity, he is completely desperate for this ancient woman with small feet.

Fortunately, all of my maids have big feet...commonly known as "natural feet...natural feet...

Wantong was very satisfied with Wu Youwei's reaction: "Scholars should be like this, instead of spending all day in brothels and Chu halls."

He had met many scholars before, but few of them were Wu Youwei who was so self-confident, and even some people's eyes lit up when they heard about brothels and Chu houses!

I wish everyone could become the favorite of the "Lady Oiran". I don't know how rich the lady Oiran is, so that she can help you to pass the Jinshi examination?

What is the right of the oiran lady?

They are all daydreamers.

On the contrary, later, Zhang Sheng and Yang Yiqing both sent people to tell him that he was not allowed to go to the "magpie bridge meeting", and Li Dongyang also sent people to say euphemistically that it is best not to go if it is possible.

Wu Youwei will not go!

But the two masters slipped him away to Pinyuan Tea House.

It turned out that several adults gathered here, and each of them brought three or five of their favorite disciples. Isn't there an imperial examination next year?Bring them out and see the world.

The second is to deal with some people, maybe they will be in the same department in the future.

Scholars on the same list are basically grasshoppers on a rope.

Get to know each other early, and you can take care of each other when you enter the court and become an official in the future.

The two instructors, Chen Jian, led Zhang Sheng and Yang Yiqing, and Liu Xuan brought Wu Youwei. The three of them formed a group as soon as they met. Zhang Sheng basically did what he did when dealing with others. He was older.

Wu Youwei and Yang Yiqing acted as shy younger brothers and followed behind Zhang Sheng.

However, someone still noticed Wu Youwei, and this person was Luo Lun.

Because Wu Youwei is quite well-known in the literary world, making bookmarks has become a kind of elegant thing, and reciting poems is very clever. Many people know that there is Wu Youwei, a servant of Wu in Beijing.

He also knew that he had been fascinated twice in Qunfang Pavilion, with a palindromic poem in one hand, and five songs in one hand, which were too classic, but on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he did something even more sensational on the lampstand in Qunfang Pavilion. Answer two riddles!

The lyrics were written as a riddle, but the answer to the riddle turned out to be the answer to the previous riddle.

It is said that he didn't pay attention at the time, but the little girl next to Mrs. Huakui recognized him.

Such a talent has long been famous in the capital, but Wu Youwei rarely came out, and only from the outside world, there are many people who have heard his name, which shows that there are too few people who have met him.

"Are you Wu Youwei, Wu's servant?" Luo Lun looked at Wu Youwei and asked in a low voice.

"I'm just here, I don't know how you call it?" Wu Youwei originally wanted to be a little transparent, but he didn't want to take it, but he was asked out.

"I'm Luo Lun, named Yingkui." Luo Lun introduced himself: "From Ji'an Yongfeng."

Wu Youwei immediately became awe-inspiring: "My servant Wu, with the character Youwei, is a man of the capital."

What the hell!

Lauren!

Luo Yingkui!

He also has a nickname, Yizheng, and his nickname is Yifeng.

This guy is amazing, much better than Zhang Sheng!

There are records dedicated to him in "Ming History", and there are many more!

Lauren's life experience is also very rough. It is said that he was poor and eager to learn since he was a child.

In the second year of Chenghua, he was the number one Jinshi, and he was awarded the Imperial Academy to edit and write, but he shouldn't, he shouldn't have meddled in the government as soon as he entered the official career!

It also resists the discussion of Li Xianqi's reinstatement and resignation!

This offended Emperor Xianzong who had just ascended the throne and was eager to take power, and he was directly relegated to Quanzhou Bosi as a promotion.

Later, the same "Sanyuan Jidi" university scholar Shangren recommended him, and the next year he was reinstated and changed to Nanjing. Maybe he felt that his official career was not going well?This guy worked in Nanjing for two years, and then he resigned.

Later, when he returned to his hometown, he hid in Jinniu Mountain, studied Confucian classics, and opened his door to teach. It is said that there are many scholars.

Academically, he sticks to Song Confucianism as the way of learning, and pays attention to self-cultivation, especially the study of Confucian classics.There is fortitude in writing, and the poems are upright and extraordinary.

This guy's official career was not going well, so he simply wrote a book about it, including "Five Classics Shuyi", "Yifeng Collection", and "Zhouyi Shuozhi".

After his writings, he was sorted into the "Siku Quanshu", fourteen volumes of various languages, including: policy, Shu, shape, preface, record, biography, epitaph, ballad, text, mourning, saying, inscription, sacrificial text, book, etc. Ten volumes, and four volumes of poems, dream drafts and songs were all included. It is the number one scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhang Sheng is also a well-known No. [-] Scholar, he only takes the exam every few years, and he doesn't come first every time, so he is also the No. [-] Scholar. This one is much better than him!

Of course, Zhang Sheng's official career was smoother than him, and he finally entered the cabinet, and Luo Lun was only 48 years old when he died, which is regarded as an untimely death in ancient times.

And Wu Youwei knew him because he had argued with a senior in the history department about the champions of all dynasties.

Although they are the first in the imperial examinations, they are not necessarily the first in officials.

So I found the champions of the Ming Dynasty who were most in line with the officialdom, a total of 90 people, and checked them one by one to see their final achievements.

Sure enough, there are only a few capable ministers, and the official career of the third-ranked official is not ordinary bumpy.

Zhang Sheng is mature and prudent but can become the number one scholar in the pavilion. There is only a three-year gap between the two of them in the number one scholar, but their circumstances are quite different.

Now this loyal scholar is standing in front of him!

However, although he died young, he left behind precious wealth. Until the Ming Dynasty, the academies he opened still existed, and there were always students studying, taking imperial examinations, and becoming officials.

So when he heard this self-reported family name, Wu Youwei was in awe.

His reaction made Luo Lun also stunned: "You Weigui Geng?"

Wu Youwei said shyly, "Nineteen."

"That's younger than me, I'm twenty." Luo Lun said with a smile: "Then I'll ask you to call you a good brother."

Luo Lun's Mandarin has a slight accent from his hometown.

"Brother Ying Kui." Wu Youwei quickly saluted and said hello.

Well, by the way, Brother Youwei, you just now seemed to know that you are a brother? As expected, Luo Lun was worthy of the word "Yi Zheng", but he asked such a thorny question.

"I've heard of you!" Wu Youwei said, "Have you ever passed by Shuangji Mountain?"

"Shuangji Mountain?" Luo Lun thought for a while: "Oh, you mean Xiangong Mountain, right?"

It is said that before Luo Lun went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he specially went to Quanzhou Xiangong Mountain to pray for his dream and ask about his future. He lived in the "Fengshan Cave" for nine days and nine nights, but he failed to achieve any dream.

In the early morning of the tenth day, he borrowed the Four Treasures of Study from the temple, and angrily wrote a poem on the cave wall: "A thousand miles away to seek a dream, but ninety-nine heavens without a dream means no chance. The gods don't care about ordinary things, and go back to Jiangxi to be the number one scholar." Title Bi threw his pen and went back down the mountain. There was a thunder in the sky. When he returned to the cave to pick up the umbrella that had fallen in a hurry, he suddenly found that the poem on the wall had been changed by two words: "Missed" was changed to "Fated". "No matter" was changed to "special management", and the ink was still wet.

Later, Luo Lun really won the toad palace and won the first prize in one fell swoop!

Of course, the current Luo Lun hasn't tried it yet, so he can only say that Wu Youwei doesn't know if this legend is true or not, so he asked Luo Lun, "Is it true?"

Seeing Wu Youwei looking at him so seriously, Luo Lun couldn't help laughing: "Where is it!"

It turned out that Luo Lun's family was really poor, and the pens, inks, papers and inkstones he used were all the worst ones, and they were barely usable.

He didn't go there to "pray for a dream", but to save travel expenses.

It was raining at the time, and he didn't have much money to stay in a hotel, so he found a cave to stay in. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He heard that he could pray for dreams there, so he just thought it would be a gimmick to live there.

But for nine days and nine nights, nothing came of it.

When he left, he was really angry, did he feel that even this cave didn't like him?

Then he picked up the pen and wrote the poem, but when he went back to get the fallen umbrella, he found that the cave had seeped water, which blurred the ink for a while, and when he wanted to rewrite it, it was already blurry, so he turned his head and walked away up.

Who knew it would be interpreted like that later!

Also "missing" to "destiny"?

It was the woodcutters who gathered firewood in the mountains, where they often went to shelter from the rain and gather firewood. When Lauren was in charge there, he gathered firewood himself, and they also contributed a little. Chai Xin, everyone can be regarded as one-sided

It's just, do they... know the words?

Wu Youwei was overjoyed to hear it: "What a coincidence!"

"That's right!" Lauren said, "It turned out to be such a legend."

When Zhang Sheng and Yang Yiqing looked over, Wu Youwei and Luo Lun were almost close to each other, and they were both gentlemen.

Especially Luo Lun's family is poor, while Wu Youwei's life is good, but he is at great risk. The two of them are not the same when they are together.

Wu Youwei saw that Luo Lun was wearing ordinary clothes. The clothes on his body might be new. Even the uppers of the shoes on his feet were clean. Are these the new clothes he changed before he came here?

Coupled with the fact that Lauren seems to have a disheveled face, it can be seen that life is really hard.

Seeing Zhang Sheng and Yang Yiqing coming over, Wu Youwei introduced them.

Luo Lun and the two of them can also chat together, and more importantly, Luo Lun bought the "Chenghua Comprehensive Examination Paper" printed by Wantong!

Wantong didn't know what he was thinking, as long as it was [-] copper coins, basically even a scholar could afford it, and this was the cost price.

Sell ​​ten copies and earn at most one copper plate.

The three of them chatted very happily, and when they separated, they couldn't bear it.

Wu Youwei said, "I don't know where Brother Ying Kui lives?"

"Oh, I'm staying at the Fuhe Inn." Lauren said, "It's in the outer city.

The outer city, that place is a place full of fish and dragons, not to mention petty theft, there are many people coming and going, and it is noisy and unsafe.

"Since you live in the outer city, why don't you come to my villa as a guest?" Wu Youwei invited, "I study alone in the villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and I don't have any friends to study with. Brother Ying Ning has relatives at home. Here; Brother Qi Zhao has a small family; I am the only one left alone! Brother Ying Kui, go to my place and teach me too.

Because he was young, he wanted to drag people to his home. Zhang Sheng had students and sons to teach, but he didn't.

No matter how cheating you are, you have to surrender to the local forces!

So I decided to take people to my place and study nearby.

But Luo Lun hesitated. He was poor since he was a child, and he doesn’t have much money in his pocket. Now he lives in the inn and only lives in Datong Shop. Apart from the two suits of Huanxi and the box of books, there is nothing left. Scattering money, he is still writing letters to others at the gate of the temple to make ends meet.

As for Wu Youwei and the others, at least their family background is better than his.Go... will get the respect it deserves?

Wu Youwei simply tugged at his sleeve: "Ying Kui...go! Go!

Lauren....!!!"
