"Hahaha, that's the truth." Li Qiu said with a smile, "Actually, I think it's good too. How about this? You can send this poem to Liu Qiheng, the Minister of Rites, to see what he says. He was very capable back then. He is also a Jinshi and is good at poetry."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Lin Qixin said, what kind of errand is this? If you want to show Liu Qiheng the poem you wrote, then you should send someone to deliver it. Why should I send it to you?
"You are busy, why don't you leave after dinner?" Li Qiu said.
"I won't eat anymore. It's awkward to eat at the same table with the prince... The prince gave me the reward first, and I'll go right away." Lin Qi said with a smile.
"What kind of reward? I'll reward you with a big-eared melon seed!" Li Qiu said with a smile, "If you don't want to eat, then leave quickly!"
As if he had obeyed the king's order, Lin Qi came out of the palace and rushed to Liu Qiheng's house. Liu Qiheng had just returned from get off work. When he saw Lin Qi coming, he thought it was Xiao Chen who had something wrong, but unexpectedly it was the prince who wrote a poem and came here. Ask him for advice?
"Very good, very good. He is indeed a prince. He writes poems like a king." Liu Qiheng only took one look and praised it. Otherwise, what else?
"The students said the same thing." Lin Qi said with a smile, "But the prince doesn't believe it and insists on seeing it, Mr. Liu."
"Uh...does the prince have any other instructions?" Liu Qiheng said.
"No more." Lin Qi said, "Maybe it's just a matter of excitement, right?"
"Oh." Liu Qiheng didn't believe that Li Qiu was just out of curiosity. While talking to Lin Qi, he stared at the poem that was still wet with ink in deep thought.
"The prince's poems are good, and his calligraphy is also good." Lin Qi said, "Originally, the student wanted to ask for it, but the prince refused and insisted on giving it to the adults."
"Hmm," Liu Qiheng said, "It seems that the prince gave me the poem because he wanted to test me. I will write a poem to echo it later when I have time."
"That's not something the students know." Lin Qi finished his errand and left immediately. He was a candidate and Liu Qiheng was the examiner. Although they were familiar with each other, it was not appropriate to stay at Liu Qiheng's house for a long time.
Liu Qiheng didn't keep him, he personally walked him to the door and watched him leave. He was confused in his heart, what on earth did he mean by Prince Li Qiu!
When Lin Qi came back, he ran directly to Xiao Chen's house and saw that he and the fat man were eating meat and drinking wine. He sat down directly, picked up a sheep bone and started to chew on it.
"This kid is getting more and more rude!" The fat man laughed and scolded.
"Fat brother, please pass me the chive flower sauce." Lin Qi stretched out his hand, "This mutton is too fat. It's a bit greasy to eat, and the taste is bland."
"Don't mess around with Xiao Chen, Yunyi Wuji and the others from now on." The fat man handed him the leek flower sauce, "A scholar can't sit or eat now!"
"Why have you been here so long?" Xiao Chen asked, "Li Qiu left you to eat?"
"It's so awkward to eat with him!" Lin Qi said, "It's awkward to chat with him. I don't know why he was a bit talkative today. He said a lot of incomprehensible things to me, and asked me to send poems to Liu Qiheng..."
While eating, Lin Qi recounted what had just happened to the two of them, saying that he was still confused and didn't know why Li Qiu suddenly had such a magical move.
"Haha, he is testing you." Xiao Chen understood it as soon as he heard it.
Li Qiu probably thought that he had also leaked the scientific examination questions to Lin Qi and it was difficult to ask directly, so he went around in circles to test Lin Qi.
The back of "Receiving teachings day and night to support Taide's virtue" is "If it's gold, use you as a tool; if it helps the giant river, use you as a boat..."
Among the titles of the Four Books and Five Classics of Jinke, there is one title: "If you help the giant river, I will use you to make a boat." '
If Lin Qi already knew the topic, he would definitely be interested in it, but Lin Qi didn't know, so his reaction was very normal.
As for asking Lin Qi to send poems to Liu Qiheng, his intention was not in the poems, but in the handwriting.
Everyone's handwriting is different. No matter whether you are learning from Yan Liu or Ou Zhao, the structure and strokes of the written words actually have their own style and meaning.
So Li Qiu wants to let Liu Qiheng know what his handwriting looks like. If he sees it again in the future, he should be able to recognize it...
"Why are you testing me?" Lin Qi became nervous, "I don't even know, and I don't know if I said the wrong thing?"
"You didn't know in the first place, so you wouldn't have said the wrong thing." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Guanyin has no family tradition." The fat man was thinking about the riddle, "Lin Qi's saying 'Although good has no merit' should be the answer to the riddle. Is there anything else?"
"There is another sentence that can also be used." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Which sentence?" the fat man asked.
"Lin Qi, what do you think?" Xiao Chen asked Lin Qi.
"If there is another sentence that can be said, I'm afraid it's 'stop at the ultimate good'." Lin Qi said casually, "The prince is unwilling to say it, so I don't dare to say it."
"Oh, it really makes sense!" The fat man slapped the table in surprise, "Damn it, you kid is so smart!"
"Are you smart?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "I can't tell. Young Prince Li Qiu is really smart. He is almost too smart!"
"That's right, how can I compete with the prince, hahaha..." Lin Qi giggled while eating meat.
But it felt like Brother Xiao and Brother Fat were looking at me very strangely, so they couldn't laugh anymore, "Don't look at me like that, what's wrong with me?"
"You guys have eaten all the meat. What are we going to eat?" said the fat man.
"Eating too much will only make you gain weight, but you will lose your heart!" Xiao Chen said.
"I just ate two mouthfuls of meat. You two eldest brothers won't do it, right?" Lin Qi asked curiously.
"Are you full? When you are full, go back and study your books!" Xiao Chen said, "You are about to take the exam, why are you not in a hurry? Don't think that you will pass the exam just because you have some knowledge. If you fail, After you get pregnant, let alone eat meat, you won’t even be able to drink the wind!”
"Go ahead, go ahead, sharpen your gun in battle, it's not fun, it's worth it, study, the more familiar you are, the less afraid you will be of familiarity." The fat man also said.
Lin Qi just chewed a bone and was kicked out. But fortunately, it was time for food. If there was not enough food here, there would naturally be a place to take care of it... My brother didn't care, there was still my sister.
He went straight to Ling'er's room, and sure enough, Qianye Ling, Xiao Ye, Yun Yi, and Wuji were all there, and what they were eating was hot hot pot.
"Where did you go, kid? I haven't seen you for a long time!" Seeing him coming in, Yun Yi shouted loudly, "I thought you went home."
"This is my home!" Lin Qi smiled, "Wherever my sister-in-law, sister, and brothers are, that is my home."
"Lin Qi is now glib. He didn't say a word when he first came here." Qianye Ling said with a smile.
"Didn't I learn this from my fat brother?" Lin Qi said with a smile, "Be carefree and casual, playing in the world!"
"Huh, you're not learning well!" Qianye Ling said with a smile.
"You are now calling us brothers. When you win the first prize, will you still know us?" Ouyang Yunyi said.
"That's not possible." Lin Qi said, "My little brother, with my temper, I can only share hardships with you, but I can't share wealth and wealth."
"What the hell, don't you kid win the first prize!" Ouyang Yunyi said angrily.
