Chapter 133 Wen Jintai

Thinking of this, Lu Yanxin turned sideways, bowed to Lu Zhicheng who was sitting still like a mountain, and said:

"Mother, I have accepted the classmate you introduced to me for the time being. Please enjoy your tea in the front hall. I will take everyone back to the study to study."

After saying that, she winked at Su Yuan, indicating that he should follow her, then she turned around and strode out.

Behind.

Seeing her acting like this, Lu Zhicheng shook his head helplessly, turned around, and said to Su Yuan in a gentle voice:

"Niece Su, come with me. If Yan Xin makes trouble later, just send someone to report to me and I will punish her."

Hearing this, Su Yuan smiled lightly and said "hmm", then stood up and followed calmly.

Study, courtyard.

As Su Yuan entered the door, a whistling fist blew towards him.

Seeing this, a dangerous light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly grabbed the man's arm and lifted him up with force.

Lu Yanxin's body flew into the air, and then he threw the woman out casually, and she was thrown accurately onto a big tree several feet away.

After a while.

Accompanied by a dull crash, Lu Yanxin let out a cry of pain from his throat, and then half-knelt on the ground with a "thump".

She raised her head, looked in the direction of Su Yuan and smiled.

A moment.

Lu Yanxin jumped up with a kick, brushed off the dust on his robe, strode to Su Yuan, bowed, and said excitedly with admiration:

"I never thought that my dear sister had such great skills and could restrain me with just one move. I was too shortsighted just now. Please give me more advice in the future."

After hearing this, Su Yuan walked slowly to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. He raised his chin slightly and pointed at the opposite side, smiling faintly:

"Ms. Lu, please sit down."

After everyone sat down.

She looked around the courtyard, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said jokingly in a meaningful tone:

"I came here today to discuss academic matters with Miss Lu, but now seeing the swords, guns, sticks and clubs placed all over the yard, are you thinking of giving up literature and taking up martial arts? If that's the case, I'm sorry to bother you!"

well……

If Lu Yanxin wants to learn martial arts, then she can say goodbye!

We are not on the same path, it's just a waste of time.

Hearing this, Lu Yanxin put on a bitter smile, took a long breath, and sighed:

"No, I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I learn martial arts only because of the influence of my late father. I just enjoy wielding swords and sticks. The imperial examination is my top priority right now."

After that, she sighed, shook her head, and explained helplessly:

"Don't listen to my mother's nonsense. It makes me not do anything all day. When I feel tired from studying, I practice swordplay. Unexpectedly, my mother saw me several times and she believed that I didn't study hard all day."

opposite.

Su Yuan nodded in understanding, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pursed his lips and smiled:

"Is that so? Then I won't worry about it anymore."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Lu Yanxin, thought for a moment, and then narrated slowly:

"Miss Lu knows that I just came from Jiangzhou and was delayed on the road for some time, so I didn't catch up with the enrollment of the Imperial College. In the future, can you take me to participate in some poetry gatherings held by this year's students so that I can become familiar with them?"

"Well... after all, we are classmates. If we pass the imperial examination, we will serve as officials together. Although we can't go to the front to establish a good relationship with him, we can't find out that he is not there, don't you think?"

Lu Yanxin nodded slightly and chuckled:

"I can do this. Although I am not sociable and I did not enroll this year, I have studied in the Imperial College for two years. I know a thing or two about the gathering places of Kyoto students. Anyway, I have to go there tomorrow, so I will ask Sister Su to go with me to get acquainted with the way."

After hearing this, Su Yuan said "hmm" softly.

Afterwards, he stood up and, with a smile on his face, Lu Yanxin led him into the study, where they discussed knowledge with each other, and each of them had a general idea in their minds.

early morning.

The whole world is cool, and the sunlight shines gently on everything through the light mist, creating a uniquely pleasing feeling.

Wenjintai.

As Su Yuan followed Lu Yanxin into the room, he was greeted by the scent of ink and looked up.

There are many desks on the first floor of the huge hall, with inkstones and pen holders on them. The walls on both sides are hung with calligraphy and paintings left by literati and poets. The whole hall looks extremely elegant.

Ahead.

Lu Yanxin turned around, waved to Su Yuan, and introduced in a low voice:

"This is the lobby on the first floor. The focus is on the Wenjintai. Not only do a group of scholars gather there, but there are also various poetry competitions and academic discussions. You can participate in any of them you want."

As she spoke, she kept walking and led Su Yuan up the stone stairs.

After a short while, the two arrived at a very large square open-air building. Lu Yanxin led them to sit on the soft chairs by the side.

She moved closer to Su Yuan and looked at the young women around her who were reciting poems while drinking, playing the game of passing flowers while beating drums, or composing poems while playing the game of tossing pots.

He raised his chin deliberately, pointed at a pretty girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and whispered:

"See? The girl in the moon-white student uniform over there is this year's top scholar in Kyoto - Yuan Shifan. Her mother is the Minister of Rites Yuan Ze."

"She not only comes from a family of scholars, but she is also the youngest top scholar in Beijing in recent years. Many students are optimistic about Yuan Shifan and think that this year's top scholar must be her."

After saying that, Lu Yanxin glanced at the woman beside him, a smile rising and falling in his eyes, lowered his voice, and suggested:

"But I think your knowledge is not worse than hers, and you can compete with this person. Hmm..., there will be a poetry contest later. The person in charge of Wenjintai will set the topic, and the students in the audience will write poems."

"If you win the competition, you can hang your poem in the lobby on the first floor, and you will also receive the Xuechi inkstone from Wen Jintai. I came here today for this, and you can give it a try."

After listening to this, Su Yuan glanced at everyone at Wen Jintai thoughtfully, and nodded to Lu Yanxin to indicate that he understood.

I thought to myself.

This is a good opportunity.

If I win first place, I will leave an impression on everyone present.

It also saves her the trouble of scanning her face.

Thinking of this, she waved to call a servant, ordered a pot of hot tea and pastries, and drank tea and chatted with Lu Yanxin to pass the time.

I don't know how long it took, but some students in moon-white wide sleeves came up from the stairs one after another, just when Su Yuan and Lu Yan were chatting engrossed.

From a small attic on the far left, the sound of gongs and drums came, attracting everyone's attention. Two servants were seen slowly pulling open a scroll.

Letter:

The theme is Spring, and the time limit is one stick of incense.

You can write poetry to your heart's content.

After everyone had finished reading, a child would clean the table and bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone for people to write.

The literati who came to the banquet at Wenjintai were all well-read people. Upon seeing this, they first lowered their eyes and thought for a while, then picked up their pens, dipped them in ink and began to write.
