Song Beiyun

After a full meal, the dozen or so teenagers from the south got together to discuss what they had seen and heard today.There is nothing but admiration, Changan is really good to scholars, good in every sense, everyone seems to give the best to these scholars, even the old man who sells snacks on the street, seeing these gentlemen When they were teenagers, they would also give some more, for fear that they would not be full.

"Oh, the more this is the more it makes me restless." Bao Xiren sighed and said, "I walked around this afternoon, but I found that as long as students dressed like us buy things, they always have to buy things." It’s a bit cheaper. I feel like if I don’t have the ability to pass the exam, get fame and benefit the people, then my favor will be in vain.”

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed: "But it's uncomfortable."

"Then what are you waiting for? Review your book!"

Of course, they are not the only ones who feel this way. Chang'an's respect for knowledge has almost reached an unprecedented level. What's more, they also found that soldiers here have a higher status than other places. The soldiers of Chouqiuba seem to have great significance in Chang'an.

Of course, the soldiers here are not the same as those in other places. I feel that they are all in high spirits at that station, which is fundamentally different from the downcast appearance in other places.Moreover, their overall quality is not so high compared to other places, and even most of the soldiers are literate.

Bao Xiren once again felt that this place in Chang'an was always unusual, and he must find a chance to pay a visit to Chang'an Supervisor Song Beiyun.

Chapter 645: On December 12, Five Years, Sunny Talks About the Old Mountains and Rivers

"Xiren, are you really going to visit Mr. Song?"

Someone nearby persuaded him, but Bao Xiren put on his clothes without hesitation, as if the thoughts in his heart had not been quenched by others' cold water.

"That's right, he is a great official in the frontier, an important minister of the court. With our status, how could he meet you?"

Bao Xiren just smiled and took off his hat: "I haven't got the crown yet, so it's not easy to wear it, so let's go like this."

"If you get rejected at that time, don't cry." The classmate next to you said jokingly: "Either I will go with you, and eat together if you want to eat."

"That's fine." Bao Xiren said with a smile, "It would be best if all the students from Luzhou go, and it can be regarded as a visit to fellow villagers in Luzhou."

"It's a pity, when Mr. Song was in Luzhou, we were all young, otherwise it wouldn't be nice to get to know each other early."

Bao Xiren sneered: "Brother Xia, is it possible that you also rely on others to support your studies?"

After being choked, the man stopped talking, but his face was somewhat displeased, but this Bao Xiren was eloquent and intelligent.To be honest, I can't beat him.

After they were dressed, they went out and found the vicinity of the yamen where Song Beiyun was located. Entering from that intersection, they arrived at the Yamen Street that the locals of Chang'an called. The governor's yamen and a long list of yamen can be said to be the most solemn and quiet street in Chang'an.

As soon as they walked in, the fully armed soldiers started to stare at them the whole time, which made these young men feel nervous, and they didn't even dare to chat loudly, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

On the contrary, Bao Xiren walked in the front with an upright face. When he saw a guard standing there, he politely stepped forward and saluted, "Master Song, do you know where Master Song's yamen is?"

The soldier sized them up, and the group of helpless teenagers seemed to pose no threat, so he pointed to the front: "The one in the middle, the door is the yamen of the stone elephant."

"Thank you."

Following the guidance of the followers, they came to the gate of the Jianbei Yamen. Naturally, it is not allowed to break in here. If they really break in casually, they will kill Bai Zai.So he honestly handed the name cards of himself and fellow countrymen to the sergeant at the door.

"Mr. Jun, please pass it on to Mr. Song for me, and he said that the younger generation from Luzhou came to visit."

The sergeant didn't say anything, just went in with the name card, came to Song Beiyun's room and knocked on the door. At this moment, Song Beiyun was discussing with Xia Song about Xia Song's return to the capital for promotion in the next year, and he heard Song Beiyun's fellow countryman outside. When the visit was still in the dozen or so, Xia Song got up immediately to say goodbye and leave.

"Fellow from Luzhou?" Xiao Song took the name post and opened it, and saw Bao Zheng's name at first sight.

He checked it carefully, and it was indeed Bao Zheng and Bao Xiren.This flash of memory brought him back to six years ago, the day he met Jin Ling'er and Xiao Bao Zheng at the same time, he was only about nine years old at that time, and in a blink of an eye he was already a person who could hand in name cards up.

"Come on." Song Beiyun put the name card aside: "Let them all come in."

After a while, the teenagers filed in and saluted Song Beiyun one by one, and Song Beiyun was there to write the report from the beginning to the end. After all, the Jinling assessment team was coming soon, and if he didn't write it, his conduct points would be deducted.

"Sit all."

The teenagers heard him speak, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all sat down slowly and carefully.

Song Beiyun was still writing, but after hearing them all sit down, he still opened his mouth: "They are all students from Luzhou? Why are you here?"

"Master Hui Song, you are here to take the spring exam in Chang'an."

It was Bao Xiren who answered the question. Song Beiyun looked up at him and smiled, "Why did you come to Chang'an for the exam?"

This question has been asked countless times, so Xiaobao's answer is still very smooth, it is nothing more than fairer and more challenging.

Although a little arrogant and naive, young people, this is what they should be. If everyone is as scheming as Song Dog, the world will be in chaos.

"Hmm." Song Beiyun put down his pen, "Why do you study?"

Hey, this question made these teenagers a little confused.What else could be the reason for reading?Naturally, it is for the sake of being promising. If one becomes an official, one will be able to glorify one's family. Isn't this the ultimate goal of studying?

In fact, even Bao Xiren couldn't answer this question directly, because this question...is too bizarre.It may sound like an ordinary question at first glance, but if the answer is to be an official, then there will be questions such as why you want to be an official later.

But if you say it's to glorify the lintel...wouldn't it look tacky?

There was a long silence, and Song Beiyun was not angry. After all, this question was related to the whole three views. In the past few decades, the whole country has been in the habit of being an official and getting rich. The education they got in the early days is also the same. What can we do?

"You haven't thought about what you want to do, go back to Luzhou early. You won't pass the exam here." Song Beiyun lowered his head again: "When did you arrive?"

"Master Hui Song, yesterday." Bao Xiren stood up and said, "Fang is just here..."

"Well, that's not surprising." Song Beiyun leaned on the chair and looked at him: "Bao Xiren, what about you? Why do you study?"

"I..." Bao Xiren was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "Master Song, why do you know that I am Bao Xiren?"

Song Beiyun smiled: "I told you at the princess' literary meeting back then that a man must aim for a thousand miles, and now I'm on this road, what about you? What do you want to do all these years?"

Bao Xiren couldn't react right away, until after looking at Song Beiyun for a long time, he suddenly became agitated.

It turned out that this person!It was the big brother who gave him a painting back then, so he was Song Beiyun!

"So it's you!" Bao Xiren shouted excitedly, "You are Master Song! I was young, and I never thought of it... I should have thought of it a long time ago."

Song Beiyun laughed: "It's been six years, and you've grown up too. But you're disappointing me now."

When Bao Xiren heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed immediately, he lowered his head, and the arrogance of the past dissipated.The person in front of him, who was about the same age as himself back then, said inconsequential words at the literary meeting, and everyone laughed at him.

But now that time has turned back, many people who laughed at him back then are still struggling in Luzhou, and they can't get out of that city of Hefei.But the person who was ridiculed has already settled down at the border, regained the lost land, and expanded the territory.

Everyone in the world knows that without Song Beiyun, Chang'an is nothing but a change, but with Song Beiyun, Chang'an can be called Chang'an again.

And the words that Song Beiyun was ridiculed at the banquet six years ago are now being realized bit by bit by him.

in comparison……

"I'm so guilty, I have no face to face it." Bao Xiren's eyes turned red immediately: "Master Song, take your leave, I will return to Luzhou now."

"Don't worry." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "You can go around Chang'an and have a look. Find yourself a target."

"Okay..." Bao Xiren held back his tears and took out a small box from his bosom. When he opened it, it contained the map that Song Beiyun had given him. He put the map in front of Song Beiyun with both hands: "Master Song, I don't deserve this..."

Song Beiyun smiled, took the map, took a look at it, thought for a while, and wrote on it with a pen, "Build a heart for the world, build a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

After finishing writing, he handed the map back to Bao Zheng: "Encourage your classmates, you and me."

As a result, Bao Zheng's hands trembled a little, he looked down at the words on the paper for a few times, and finally couldn't hold back the tears, and gushed out.

"Okay, let's go back. After you figure it out, you can come to me again. If you can't figure it out, go back to Luzhou as soon as possible, and you can almost go back for 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 need to know why you study."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Go back, see more, walk more, think more."

All the students saluted Song Beiyun one by one, and then walked out. When they walked outside Yamen Street, Bao Xiren burst into tears, standing still on the side of the street, attracting many people's attention.

Some of his classmates were at a loss, some were sad, some were at a loss, and some were puzzled.

"It's just a sentence, why is this?" The student surnamed Xia just asked curiously: "Let's go, let's eat roast chicken."

But his words obviously had no effect, so he simply flicked his sleeves: "Forget it, if you don't go, we will go."

The people who came together originally parted ways here.Bao Xiren cried till the end and squatted on the ground almost beating his feet and chest, and several people also wept sadly.

After a long time, they stood up slowly, looking a little sad in the winter, their previous pursuit and cognition were subverted by one word, this kind of feeling is probably heart-piercing.

"Xiren, what are your plans?" After returning to the dormitory, the companion asked Bao Xiren, "Should we go back or stay here?"

"I plan to live in Chang'an for a few days before making any plans." Bao Xiren's eyes were a little red and swollen. He was originally a handsome young man, but now he looked a little funny.

"Are you still planning to take the exam in Chang'an?"

"Test!" Bao Xiren nodded earnestly and firmly: "It's a big deal to learn from the beginning."

At this time, a student surnamed Xia who smelled of alcohol came in with a few people, and sat down on a chair as soon as he came in: "Chang'an's wine and meat are really excellent, and that barbarian woman is unparalleled in beauty." !"

Bao Xiren raised his eyelids and looked at him, but he didn't say anything, he just got up with the mat he carried with him: "Brother Xia, today I, Bao Xiren, will follow the example of the ancients. From today on, the friendship between you and me Just like this, it will be cut in two."

After saying that, he drew out his dagger and cut the bamboo mat into two pieces, then walked out with his things in his arms without looking back.

But the student surnamed Xia was stunned for a moment, but he smiled lightly and said loudly: "Bao Xiren, your father is just a petty man, why are you arrogating me here?"

Chapter 646: Sunny December 12, Five Years

The freshness of Chang'an can't be seen overnight. Although it is not perfect, it has gradually formed a sharp contrast with the outside world.

Apart from Bao Zheng, many people think this way, such as the number one female writer in Japan who arrived here three days ago.

Chang'an is a sacred place for every Japanese, because the name Japan was given to them by Empress Wu Zetian, especially for Zi Shibu, her idol is the number one female emperor in the world, so apart from natural emotions In addition, Chang'an has a different meaning to her.

"Miss, why don't you go to find Mr. Song?"

Zi Shibu was walking in the night market in Chang'an, logically speaking, she should have gotten used to such bustling a long time ago, after all, strictly speaking, the bustle of Jinling is definitely better than that of Chang'an.

But she likes the taste of Chang'an very much. In her opinion, Chang'an is far more delicious than Jinling.So she always strolls around the night market in this area at night, even if she doesn't buy anything, she feels at ease.

"Why are you looking for him?" Zi Shibu wore clothes with the characteristics of the Japanese clan, but this clothes did not escape at all in Chang'an, because the kimono father itself came from this land, and the noble ladies on the street wore it like this It's not uncommon at all: "I'm just a pet to him, he doesn't see me, why bother to humiliate himself?"

The maid snorted, "Then I've never seen Miss praise others like that."

"Praise is nothing but praise. He is worthy of praise, even worthy of my support, but he is not worthy of my heart." Zi Shibu raised his head proudly: "I will definitely find a man who will always see me in the future."

"When will the lady go to join him?" The maid behind her smiled and said, "He looks good, and he is really suave."

"Little thing, are you tempted?"

"How can there be..." The little maid twitched: "I just think that person is very interesting."

Zi Shibu chuckled: "Don't count on it, he sees the stars and the sea, not a little thing like you."

While talking, she bent down and picked up a fan made of red alder wood from a bunk. There was a string of silver bells tied under the fan, and she jingled in her hand.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this fan?"

"Consistent money."

Murasaki Shikibu thought for a moment: "Isn't it cheaper?"

"Eight hundred coins, don't touch it if you don't buy it."

"Really..." Zi Shibu untied the small purse and took out the money: "It's fierce."

When she was shopping, it happened that the night shift of the Xincheng Defense patrol was changing. The young soldiers sang loud military songs and trotted through the market under the leadership of the sergeant. Almost all the girls paid attention to them.

"Miss, look quickly!" The little maid bouncingly pointed at the group of tall and straight soldiers: "So handsome!"

Zi Shibu turned his head to look at those soldiers, and was shocked when he saw it. Although he knew from the first day that the soldiers in Chang'an were different from other places, when he saw the young handsome men in the queue, he was still shocked by the scenery in front of him. up.

In the past, no matter whether it was in Ping'an capital or Jin Jing, the impression of soldiers was nothing more than horror and looseness. They usually had corruption and tyranny visible to the naked eye, but Chang'an refreshed her understanding of soldiers.

From entering the city, soldiers seem to be everywhere but inconspicuous. For the first time, I heard that it is a place where you can seek help from soldiers if you lose property, encounter thieves, or even get lost.

Moreover, the soldiers in Chang'an were extremely gentle, but she had also seen the bravery of those soldiers when they caught thieves, just like the city itself, even these soldiers were full of contradictions.

Of course, she also likes to see these young and handsome soldiers running out of the queue, full of masculinity.Whether it is my hometown or Jinling, it seems that they lack a little bit of masculinity, the kind of masculinity that can make people's heart beat.

It was precisely in Chang'an City that she felt this kind of temperament, tough and tolerant, civilized and barbaric, opposite but unified.It's like the feeling that a man with a strong steel sword in his body will bring back a hairpin to his wife from dozens of miles away.

Who wouldn't love a place like this?

"Miss! Miss~~"

"Ok?"

"You've lost your mind." The little maid shouted dissatisfied, "You're really lecherous."

Zi Shibu spread his fan with a snap, covered his mouth and nose and raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Who wouldn't like it."

"Yeah, I really like it too... I think if you give me any one, I can marry it."

"I said Chang'an."

"Miss~~~"

The two played and walked forward, it was the first time that Zi Shibu felt so at ease, she was not beautiful, but the bookishness she brought was a plus point, along the way, many men came forward He started talking, but Zi Shibu was helpless, he was not easy to deceive, he was born in a noble family, and later walked in the palace, his knowledge and talent were all top-notch.Few of those men could stand her mouthful of poems and silent speeches, and they would be scared away within a few rounds.

"Miss, I heard that the adult's wife is the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty." The little maid winked at Zi Shibu and said, "Do you want to challenge her?"

"You little villain." Zi Shibu poked the maid's head: "You want to kill me?"

"Huh? Why?"
