The sky is dawning, but the fog has not dispersed.
A carriage was driving slowly along the ancient road near the city.
Seeing that the coachman was just drinking wine, the horse didn't hurry up, but slowly dragged the carriage forward.
The 'coachman' was half lying on the carriage's seat, holding a flask and drinking wine.
Watching the carriage drive slowly on the stone road, I don't know whether the people are swimming in the scenery or the scenery is walking beside the carriage.
When he became interested, the coachman took a sip of wine and began to read a poem.
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu,
The Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Temple;
The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees,
Picking peach blossoms again to exchange for wine money..."
The coachman's mindfulness was strong, and the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and a small head poked out.
The little girl stuck her head out, looked at the 'cartman' and pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, I have to take the exam today...why are you still drinking?"
The 'car driver' was Su Mo, who was going to take the exam. He was on his way early in the morning and borrowed a horse from his third senior sister Gu Yu. The little girl also wanted to follow him, so she borrowed another car.
Originally, Su Mo wouldn't let the little girl follow her, and she couldn't enter the examination room, so why did she follow him?
But the little girl said she wanted to go to the boathouse to play with Luo Yin, so Su Mo didn't refuse.
It seems that while he was in coma, the little girl became familiar with Luo Yin and others... Su Mo secretly thought: If he wants to go to the boathouse to listen to music in the future, it seems that he will have to ask the girl to take him!
"I'm looking for a state of mind, drink some wine to clear my mind! Li Bai wrote poems in the past, and drinking will definitely produce excellent works. I will also follow the example of the ancients." Su Mo explained with a smile.
"Who is Li Bai?" the little girl asked.
"Uh..." Su Mo thought for a long time, not knowing where to start.
The little girl climbed out of the carriage and sat in Su Mo's arms. She held her head high and stopped asking questions. Instead, she warned, "That's enough. If you drink any more, you'll get drunk."
"Okay, okay, no more drinking!" Su Mo reluctantly put down the wine bottle after hearing this, and picked up the little girl...
The little girl flashed her big eyes and looked at Su Mo: "Then what?"
"What then?" Su Mo didn't understand.
"The poem that the young master just read is not finished yet!" After listening to what Su Mo read just now, the little girl felt that there should be more to come.
Su Mo tilted his head: "Let me think about it..."
Seeing that Su Mo stopped drinking, Ma Er was afraid that Su Mo would find out that he was lazy, so he walked faster.
Tuk tuk...tuk tuk...
"When I'm sober, I just sit in front of the flowers.
Even when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers;
Half awake and half drunk day after day,
Flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die of old age among flowers and wine,
Unwilling to bow before the chariot and horse.
Cars, dust and horses are enough for the rich,
The wine-cup branches are destined to be poor.
If the rich are compared to the poor,
One is on the ground and the other is in the sky;
If the poor and the lowly are compared to a chariot and a horse,
He has to drive me around.
The world laughs at me for being so crazy,
I laugh at others but they can’t see through it;
I don’t see the tombs of heroes from Wuling.
Hoeing the fields without flowers and wine...
"
"What a poem... what a poem..."
A passerby who looked like a scholar on the roadside heard Su Modi reciting poems and immediately expressed his admiration unconsciously.
Su Mo pulled the horse rope and the carriage stopped.
Seeing Su Mo stop the carriage, the scholar who spoke clasped his fists and asked Su Mo kindly: "Is this brother attending the Spring Festival?"
Su Mo nodded and asked curiously: "That's true. Brother, is it the same?"
"If nothing else, I must have the same purpose as my brother." The young man who spoke was wearing simple clothes and was not from a wealthy family.
When Su Mo came out of the academy, he had already put on the exquisite white clothes given by Gu Yu. He looked like a child of a scholarly family.
It's just that the girl's bun is still very delicate.
"I am Su Mo, whose courtesy name is Jingyan. I wonder what you call me, brother?"
The young man suddenly felt that he had heard the name a little bit. He thought about it and then exclaimed: "Could it be that you are the Su Mo who was arranging paintings on the street that day and later painted such masterpieces as "Su Mu Zhe"?"
Su Mo was stunned...has this spread?
"It is indeed written by me, but it is not a masterpiece. It was written by accident!" Su Mo responded shamelessly, but said modestly.
"Brother Su is so humble..."
The young man saw that Su Mo was dressed in luxurious clothes and driving a carriage. He must be a child of a wealthy family. But he was approachable, modest and low-key in conversation, and his favorable impression of Su Mo immediately increased.
"Xia Jiang Yu is from Jiangxi, but his name has not yet been established."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I was very excited to win the first prize in Chunwei, but I never thought I would meet Brother Su. That day and today's poems make me feel inferior."
"Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world."
Su Mo suddenly felt embarrassed... There was nothing I could do, my foundation was weak, these poems were all copied...
"Brother, why should you belittle yourself? I can only write some poetry, calligraphy and painting, but practical politics is my weakness. How can Chunwei win the first prize just by writing some poetry?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and asked in surprise: "Brother Su, don't you know?"
"Don't know what?" Su Mo was stunned.
"There will only be one test in this spring semester."
"Only one test?" Su Mo really didn't know about this.
Jiang Yu nodded and said: "The sage has a purpose. There will be only one test in this Spring Festival. It will integrate the Four Books and Five Classics, Ce Questions and Eight-legged Essay into one volume. The style is not limited. But I don't know what questions the sage will give to combine these test points."
Su Mo was speechless. That guy was really brave. He changed the contents of the imperial examination just as he was told. In previous lives, the reform of the imperial examination was a big move.
After thinking about it, I felt relieved that this was a different world after all.
"So..." Jiang Yu smiled, "I speculate that poetry will have advantages as a carrier."
Su Mo cupped his fists and thanked: "Thank you Brother Jiang for your guidance."
Jiang Yu waved his hands repeatedly.
Su Mo said, "I had a great chat with Brother Jiang, and we happen to be on the same road. Brother Jiang, why don't you get in the carriage, and we can go to the examination room together."
Jiang Yu was immediately moved after hearing this.
At this moment, the horse in front turned back and glanced coldly at Jiang Yu in a very humane manner. The horse's hoofs scraped slightly on the ground, which was very threatening.
Seeing Ma'er's behavior, Jiang Yu suddenly became a little embarrassed, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no...it's still early, I have some things to deal with before rushing to the examination room, Brother Su, just go first."
Su Mo didn't see Ma'er's actions. He just said that Jiang Yu really had something to do and it was hard to ask, so he didn't force it.
"Then we'll see you in the examination room." Su Mo waved his hand and drove the horse away.
Watching Su Mo's carriage drive away, Jiang Yu wiped away cold sweat and said to himself: "Brother Su is indeed a member of a noble family, even the horse is so unruly."
Su Mo held the little girl in his arms all the way and drove the carriage to the entrance of the examination room. The exam was about to start.
It wasn't that the horse walked slowly, but that Su Mo took the little girl to have breakfast first, and then walked slowly to the test center.
In his previous life, Su Mo developed a very good habit - getting stuck!
Su Mo turned around and told the little girl sitting on the carriage: "Be careful on the way to Fairy Luo Yin's shiphouse. If something happens, leave it alone. Ask Fairy Luo Yin or Third Senior Sister to solve it, or wait for me to come out and solve it."
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded obediently.
"Master... just work hard. Even if you don't get good grades, it doesn't matter. We can still go back to Jiangnan."
Su Mo smiled and rubbed the girl's little head, then turned to look at the horse pulling the cart, and asked with great suspicion: "Do you know how to get to the ship building?"
The horse raised its head proudly and snorted loudly, as if to rebut Su Mo's doubts about it.
Su Mo smiled, patted the horse's head and turned around to enter the examination room.
As soon as Su Mo left, the horse looked back at the little girl to make sure that she was sitting firmly, and then "tuk-tuk...tuk-tuk..." stepped on the horse's hooves and walked slowly towards the ship building.
After Su Mo showed his credentials, he was led to the dormitory and waited quietly for the exam to begin.
Suddenly, a familiar smell aroused in Su Mo's heart.
It was the smell of the blood pill in the west of the night city...
"Dang...dang...dang..."
The bell rings and spring begins.
A test paper was distributed to Su Mo's dormitory.
Su Mo unfolded the scroll, but there was no word on it...
