645. December 13, five years, sunny, talking about the mountains and rivers of the old days
"Xi Ren, are you really going to pay homage to Lord Song?"
Someone was persuading him, but Bao Xiren was wearing his clothes regardless of the situation, as if he had not been poured out by other people's cold water.
"That's right, he is a chief official of the border and an important minister of the court. How could he meet you with our identities?"
Bao Xiren just smiled and took off his hat: "I haven't gotten to the crown yet, so it's hard to wear the crown, so let's go like this."
"If you are turned away, don't cry." The classmate next to him said jokingly: "Or I'll go with you, and if you want to turn away, you can eat together."
"That's fine." Bao Xiren smiled and said, "It's best if all the students in Luzhou go there, which can be considered as visiting fellow villagers in Luzhou."
"It's a pity that when Lord Song was in Luzhou, we were all young, otherwise wouldn't it be nice to meet him early."
Bao Xiren sneered: "Brother Xia, can you rely on others to support your studies?"
After being choked, the man stopped talking, but his face was a little unhappy. But Bao Xiren was eloquent and talented. If he really said that, he could not tell him.
After they were dressed, they went out and found out all the way to the nearest yamen where Song Beiyun was. From that intersection, they arrived at the Yamen Street, which the locals in Chang'an said. There are a long list of yamen, Chang'an County, Military and Political Yamen, Governor Yamen and other yamen. It can be said that it is the most solemn and quiet street in Chang'an.
As soon as he walked in, the fully armed soldiers began to stare at them all the way, which made the young men feel furious and they didn't even dare to chat loudly, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Bao Xiren walked in front with a straight face. When he saw a guard standing there, he politely stepped forward and bowed with fists and said, "You know where Lord Song's yamen is?"
The soldier looked at them, and the group of boys with no power seemed to be threatening, so he stretched out his finger and pointed to the front: "The one in the middle, the door is the stone elephant's yamen."
"Thank you."
The followers guided them to the entrance of the jail office. Naturally, they could not break around here. If they really broke inside casually, they would kill Bai Zai. So he honestly handed the famous posts of himself and his fellow villagers to the soldiers at the door.
"Mr. Jun, please help me pass it to Lord Song, and he said that the juniors from Luzhou came to visit."
The soldier didn't say anything, but just took the famous post and came to Song Beiyun's room and knocked in. At this moment, Song Beiyun was discussing with Xia Shu about Xia's promotion in the capital after the New Year. When he heard that Song Beiyun's fellow villagers were visiting him outside, and when he was still a dozen, Xia Shu immediately stood up and said goodbye and left.
"A fellow townsman in Luzhou?" Xiao Song took the famous post and opened it, and saw Bao Zheng's name at first sight.
He carefully checked it and it was indeed Bao Zheng and Bao Xiren. This memory brought him back six years ago. On the day he met Jin Ling'er, he also met Xiao Bao Zheng. He was only about nine years old at that time, and in a blink of an eye, he was already the one who could submit famous posts.
"Come on." Song Beiyun put the famous post aside: "Let them all come in."
After a while, the young men came in one after another and saluted Song Beiyun in turn, while Song Beiyun was writing reports from beginning to end. After all, the Jinling Assessment Team was about to arrive, and if they didn't write, they would be deducted for the business points.
“Sit all.”
When the teenagers heard him speak, they looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all sat down slowly and carefully.
Song Beiyun was still writing, but after hearing that they all sat down, he spoke: "All of them are students from Luzhou? Why did they come?"
"Go back to Lord Song, I am here to take the spring exam in Chang'an this time."
The person who replied was Bao Xiren. Song Beiyun looked up at him and smiled: "Why do you want to come to Chang'an for an exam?"
This question has been asked countless times, so Xiaobao's answers are still very smooth, it is nothing more than fair and challenging.
Although it is a bit arrogant and naive, it is natural for young people to be young. If everyone is as scheming as Song Gou, the world will be in chaos.
"Well." Song Beiyun put down his pen: "Why do you study?"
Hey, this question has made these teenagers feel a little confused. Why can you study? Of course, it is to be successful. You can shine your family by becoming an official. Isn’t this the ultimate goal of studying?
In fact, even Bao Xiren was unable to answer this question directly because this question... is too bizarre. It may sound like a common question at first glance, but if you answer it in order to be an official, then there will be questions like why you need to be an official in the future.
But if it is to shine the lintel...will this look very tacky?
After being silent for a long time, Song Beiyun was not angry. After all, this problem was accompanied by the entire view. In the past few decades, the whole country had the atmosphere of becoming officials and making money. The same was true for the education they received in the early stage. What can we do?
"You haven't figured out what you want to do, go back to Luzhou early. Those who can't pass the exam here." Song Beiyun lowered his head again: "When did you arrive?"
"Go back to Lord Song, yesterday." Bao Xiren stood up and said, "Fang is a newcomer..."
"Well, that's not surprising." Song Beiyun leaned on the chair and looked at him: "Bao Xiren, what about you? Why are you studying?"
"I..." Bao Xiren was stunned, and then suddenly widened his eyes: "Mr. Song, why do you know that I am Bao Xiren?"
Song Beiyun smiled: "At the princess's literary meeting, I told you that men should be determined by a thousand miles. Now I am already on this road. What about you? What do you want to do over the years?"
Bao Xiren couldn't react at once, until he looked at Song Beiyun for a long time, he suddenly became excited.
It turns out this person! It's the big brother who gave him a painting back then. It turns out that he is Song Beiyun!
"So it's you!" Bao Xiren shouted excitedly: "You are Lord Song! I was young and I had never thought of it... I should have thought of it long ago."
Song Beiyun laughed: "It's been six years, and you have grown up too. But you've disappointed me a little now."
When Bao Xiren heard this, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. He lowered his head, and the arrogance of the past disappeared. The people in front of him were as old as he was now, and everyone laughed at him when they said unrestrained words at the literary meeting.
But now time has gone by, and many of the people who joked about him back then were still struggling in Luzhou and could not make a city of Hefei. However, the person who was ridiculed has already settled in the border, restored the lost territory, and expanded the territory.
Everyone knows that Chang'an would be called Chang'an if there were no Song Beiyun. With Song Beiyun, Chang'an could be called Chang'an again.
However, Song Beiyun's words that were ridiculed at the banquet six years ago are now being realized bit by bit by bit.
In comparison...
"I feel extremely guilty and have no face to face it." Bao Xiren's eyes suddenly turned red: "Mr. Song, I'll leave now, I'll go back to Luzhou."
"Don't worry." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "You can take a walk in Chang'an and take a look. Find a goal for yourself."
"Okay..." Bao Xiren held back his tears and took out a small box from his arms. After opening it, it was the map that Song Beiyun had given him. He held the map with both hands and placed it in front of Song Beiyun: "Mr. Song, I don't deserve this thing..."
Song Beiyun smiled, took the map, opened it and looked at it, thought for a while, and wrote on it, "Stand up for the hearts of heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages."
After writing, he handed the map back to Bao Zheng: "Please encourage each other with classmates, and you and I will encourage each other."
Bao Zheng's hands were trembling, and he looked down at the words on the paper a few times, and then the tears finally couldn't help but flowed out.
"Okay, go back. After you figure it out, you can come to me again. If you can't figure it out, you can go back to Luzhou as soon as possible and you can almost rush back to celebrate the New Year."
After Song Beiyun finished speaking, he looked at the other students: "It's the same with you. Reading is important, but you have to understand why reading is."
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go back, take a look, walk and think more."
After saluting Song Beiyun one by one, the students walked out and walked outside Yamen Street. Bao Xiren cried and stood by the street to attract many people to look at him.
Some of his classmates were confused, some were melancholy, some were at a loss, and some were confused.
"Just say, why is this?" The student surnamed Xia asked curiously: "Let's go, let's eat roast chicken."
But his words obviously did not work, so he simply shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it, if you don't go, we will go."
The people who were originally from here parted ways here. Bao Xiren cried until he finally squatted on the ground and almost beat his feet and stamped his chest, while several people also burst into tears.
After a long time, they slowly stood up and seemed a little sad in the winter. Their pursuits and cognitions were overturned by a single word, which was probably a heart-wrenching heart.
"Xi Ren, what are your plans?" After returning to the dormitory, his companion asked Bao Xi Ren: "Would you like to go back or stay here?"
"I plan to live in Chang'an for some time before making plans." Bao Xiren's eyes were a little red and swollen. He was originally a handsome boy, but now he looks a little funny.
"Are you planning to take the exam in Chang'an?"
"Test!" Bao Xiren nodded seriously and firmly: "The worst thing is to study it first."
At this time, the student surnamed Xia, who was covered in alcohol, walked in with a few people, and as soon as he came in, he sat on the chair: "The wine and meat in Chang'an are really excellent, and there is also the Hu woman, who is unparalleled in beauty!"
Bao Xiren raised his eyelids and looked at him, but said nothing, but just stood up with the mat he carried with him: "Brother Xia, today I, Bao Xiren, have also imitated the ancients. From today on, the friendship between you and me will be like this, breaking down with one knife."
After saying that, he pulled out his dagger and cut the bamboo mat into two pieces, and then walked out without looking back with his own thing.
The student surnamed Xia was stunned for a moment, but he chuckled and said loudly: "Bao Xiren, your father is just a little juren, why are you showing off here with me?"
