To The Land of Nevernight

Tang Shen was in a hurry, and in the midst of a crisis, he suddenly had an idea: "Father... Just be like Jiang Haining's clear light!"

In the garden of Fu Mansion, all kinds of flowers are blooming in spring, and only the chirping of birds is heard.The shade of willows covered the rockery, and the shadow of the rockery covered Tang Shen and the others. After Tang Shen's words fell, the garden was completely silent.

Tang Shen suddenly uttered this poem in a hurry. Wen Shutong had never heard of it, but Wang Qin looked at Tang Shen fixedly. After a while, he said: "Come like a thunder, and you are furious? Why did the younger brother see me and suddenly Talk about this."

Come like a thunderbolt to receive anger, stop like a Jianghai condensing clear light.

This is Du Fu's sentence describing Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance, and this world also has it.

Tang Shen had already calmed down, and he lied with his eyes open: "It's been a long time since I saw Senior Brother Zifeng, but now I see you again, it's as clean and smooth as I remember, shining brightly like the clear light of the river and sea. I remembered this poem when I saw Senior Brother, so for a while I didn’t pay attention, so I blurted it out.” I’ll flatter you first.

Wang Qin looked at Tang Shen for a while, and said, "I never thought that Jing Ze just missed me for seven days, but Jing Ze missed me just like that." Then he turned his head and said to his bookboy, "Jing Ze hasn't been to Shangshu Mansion for seven days, why don't you To invite him? If Mr. hadn't asked us to come together this time, I don't know when we'll see Jingze again! Do you know what's wrong?"

The book boy who was held in a cauldron for no reason: "?" What were you talking about just now, does it have something to do with me?

Tang Shen: "..."

The book boy said honestly, "It's a small mistake."

Wang Qin reprimanded: "There must be no next time."

Bookboy: "...Yes."

Wang Qin took Tang Shen's hand and patted it lightly.Like the best brothers, the two walked out of the garden hand in hand, just like the gentlemen in the Spring and Autumn Period.Wang Qin said sincerely: "We are brothers of the same school, and we will definitely not have this matter again in the future. If Jing Ze misses me, he can come to Shangshufu at any time."

Tang Shen nodded, heaving a sigh of relief, thinking that Wang Zifeng was nothing more than that, he easily fooled the matter of recognizing his father.However, when he came to the flower hall, Tang Shen suddenly realized that he just said that he saw Wang Qin, subconsciously praised him, and didn't miss him at all. Wang Zifeng is spitting blood!

Suddenly a mouthful of old blood was almost vomited out.

Wang Qin dragged Tang Shen to the flower hall, Tang Shen dared not speak out, and could only give him a gloomy look.When Wang Qin looked at him, Tang Shen quickly averted his eyes and said seriously, "Senior brother."

Wang Qin: "Junior brother really misses me, he has been looking at me all the way."

Tang Shen: "..."

Fu Wei came out and said, "Jing Ze misses Zifeng? It seems that when the teacher didn't know, you brothers and sisters got along very happily!"

Wang Qin: "Sir."

Tang Shen said depressedly, "Sir."

The two bowed to Fu Wei together.

A small round table of huanghuali has already been set up in the flower hall, with exquisite Jiangnan food on it.Both Tang Shen and Wang Qin were born in the south of the Yangtze River. The food in the south of the Yangtze River is exquisite and ingenious, with small portions and bland taste.They said they were eating, but they were here to talk. The three of them didn't eat much, and Fu Wei didn't pay much attention to the habit of eating without talking.

Tang Shen was in so much pain that he blinked aggrievedly: "Mister teased me!"

Fu Wei laughed, and pointed directly at Wang Qin with his chopsticks: "Kaiping 18 years, number one scholar." Then he pointed to himself, "It's not good to be a teacher. Back then, he and Zhong Taisheng were on the same list of Jinshi, and they had bad luck. I'm number one, and I'm only worthy of second place." Then he looked at Tang Shen: "You're another candidate. You won the first place in one discipline, and our division is really complete!"

Wang Qin listened quietly to Fu Wei's words without saying a word.

Tang Shen took a look at Wang Qin, thought of a plan, and said, "Senior Brother Zifeng once told me an analogy."

Fu Wei: "Oh, what's the analogy?"

Wang Qin raised his eyes and looked at Tang Shen.

Tang Shen thought to himself that I am only 16 years old this year, if you look around, I am childish! "After I got the Yayuan in the provincial examination, Brother Zifeng told me that he is Xieyuan and I am Yayuan. We are like a dragon and a phoenix, and the teachers are complete. I think now that Brother Zifeng is the number one. Sir, you You are the second place in the list, aren't you also a dragon and a phoenix, it's really auspicious!"

Fu Wei: "..."

Wang Qin smiled slightly.

During the meal, Fu Wei glared at Wang Qin several times, but Wang Qin pretended not to notice, and even poured wine for Fu Wei at the end.

After the meal, the teacher and the student held the steaming Mingqian Biluochun, and the three sat in the flower hall to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.The Fu Mansion Garden under the moonlight has a special beauty, and one or two frogs can be heard from the pond in the distance.The three of them talked for a while, most of which were Fu Wei's warnings and exhortations to Tang Shen.

Fu Wei: "The officialdom is different. As a teacher, I can only send you here. In the future, I will at most guide you in the direction. It depends on yourself. As a Tanhua, you are different from other second- and third-class scholars. The post of editor of the Hanlin Academy. Although it is the imperial academy’s order to be a teacher, but only because the emperor persuaded him to stay, he did not resign and return to his hometown. He seldom went to the Imperial Academy. You will take office in a few days, what do you not understand? "

It was Tang Shen's first time as an official, and he was still an ancient official. There were many things he didn't understand, so he explained them one by one.

Fu Wei answered some questions, and Wang Qin also answered some questions for him.

On the branch of the moon, Tang Shen and Wang Qin bid farewell to Fu Wei together.

The two brothers walked out of the gate of Fu's mansion together. Tang Shen wanted to go home, but he was about to say goodbye to Wang Qin when Wang Qin looked up at the moon and pointed to the sky.Tang Shen looked in the direction of his finger.The moon is destined to have few stars, but in the ancient times without city lights and air pollution, even if the moon was very bright, there were dozens of bright stars in the sky.

"Hands can pick stars. Junior brother, do you still remember this poem you wrote?"

Tang Shen said cheekily: "Remember. Why is Senior Brother Zifeng mentioning this?"

Wang Qin: "Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings."

Before Tang Shen could react, he saw Wang Qin pointing to the sky with his finger, and said, "Little brother's blessings are long, he has already alarmed the heavenly beings!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Shen's mind, and he instantly understood what Wang Qin meant.

There is only one heavenly being, and that is Zhao Fu.

It turned out that Zhao Fu promoted him from No. 5 to No. [-] in the imperial examination because of the poem he wrote when he was a class in the Imperial Academy!Tang Shen looked back at his road to the imperial examination after coming to Shengjing. The emperor Linyong of the Imperial College was the fundamental reason why he finally got a job.However, the Emperor Linyong has something to do with the library courses, and the library courses must be in the top three. This is what Wang Zifeng told him again.

Sweat dripped from Tang Shen's forehead, he didn't expect that even this matter was related to Wang Zifeng.

Tang Shen made a bow and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zifeng."

Wang Qin said with a smile: "I don't understand what the younger brother wants to thank me for."

Tang Shen didn't point it out either, thinking that you've said it yourself, don't you just want me to thank you, why are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail?But on the surface he said: "Thank you brother for teaching me!"

Wang Qin smiled, and the two walked a few more steps. He suddenly said, "Your poem says that you want to pluck the stars from the sky. Then do you know where the tallest building in Shengjing, or even the whole Song Dynasty is?"

Tang Shen thought for a while: "Thousand-mile building?"

Wang Qin shook his head and said, "It's the Xuji Building!"

The Xuji Building is in the north of the city, Tang Shen and Wang Qin came to the Xuji Building in the carriage of Shangshufu.Tang Shen raised his head and saw that it turned out to be a nine-story building!

Ancient high-rise buildings are generally the towers of temples.The architectural structure of the pagoda is different from that of buildings. It can be stabilized even if it is raised high, and it is not afraid of the wind.But after coming to this era, Tang Shen has never seen a tall building with more than six floors, let alone a nine-story building!He had never been to the north of Shengjing before, so he had never seen this building.But even if he comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to get in.

Xuji downstairs is full of guards in armor!

Wang Qin: "Go up and have a look."

Tang Shen didn't doubt Wang Qin's words at all. Since Wang Qin said it, they would definitely be able to go in.He followed Wang Qin to the Xuji Tower.Sure enough, when the guards saw that it was Wang Qin, they all made way for Wang Qin to enter the Xuji Tower.

Nine floors, Tang Shen was used to taking elevators in his previous life, and he hadn't climbed such a high building for many years.Not to mention this life, after the two climbed to the top floor, even Wang Qin was a little breathless.Looking at the sweat on Wang Zifeng's forehead, Tang Shen realized that his senior brother was just a mortal.

However, just now I felt that Lao Wang had some human spirit, and when he was not so far away, he saw dark clouds leaving the moon, and the moonlight shone on Wang Zifeng's body, making him look like he could become a fairy in the next second, and he was not like a mortal!

Tang Shen suddenly felt tired.

Tang Shen: "Senior Brother Zifeng came here suddenly tonight. There are so many guards below, I thought we couldn't come up."

"Do you know the meaning of Xuji Building?"

If it were anyone else, even the current number one scholar, Yao Ju, might not be able to answer Wang Qin's question, but Tang Shen has a good memory. He has read more than four books and five classics, and he has memorized various classics by heart.He thought for a while, and said: "To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet."

From the Taoist Tao Te Ching.

Wang Qin admired it, and said: "That's right, it is the ultimate in emptiness and the utmost in quietness. Five years ago, the Holy Majesty wanted to build the tallest building in order to seek the Tao. The Household Department started building this building four years ago, and it will be completed next month." When the work is finished, the Holy One will come in person and hold a grand ceremony."

"I see."

But what does that have to do with him?

Wang Qin turned his head to look to the south. They were facing north and south at the moment, like emperors. Looking around, they could see the whole Shengjing!Wang Qin suddenly stretched out his hand and reached for the sky. He recited the poem written by Tang Shen: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked with your hands. Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the people in the sky. Stand here, little brother, you Can you say that you can pick up the stars?"

Not to mention standing on a nine-story building, even if you stand on the sun, you can't pick a star!

How could Tang Shen, a man of science and engineering, understand this kind of romance, but he couldn't explain to Wang Qin that stars are stars in far, far away places.After thinking for a long time, he felt very romantic and said: "If you have stars in your heart, you can pick them off."

Wang Qin suddenly turned to look at him.

Tang Shen's throat stagnates.

...What do you mean?

Wang Qin suddenly laughed out loud.

Tang Shen:? ? ?

Is this mocking him?

Under the moonlight, Wang Zifeng, who was wearing a white brocade robe, said softly, "My son said, "Same family is friends, and comrades are friends. Jing Ze, do you think we are friends or friends?"

Tang Shen was startled, the alarm bell rang, and he looked up at Wang Qin.

I saw Wang Qin looking at him with a smile, his eyes were clear, but there was something profound that Tang Shen couldn't understand.

Teachers from the same school are friends, and comrades are friends!

Wang Zifeng... was asking him his heart!

The author has something to say: Old Wang next door: Are we from the same school, or comrades?

Little Tang Lang [horrified face]: What do you want to do! ! !
