Why do you want to test me on my knowledge just when we met?
Hearing this, Cui Xian began to murmur in his heart.
But after the young man in the navy blue Confucian robe finished speaking, he did not wait for Cui Xian to respond.
He asked directly: "Listen carefully, my question is: What allusions are used in the eighth part of the article "The Story of King Wu's Succession to King Tai, King Ji, and King Wen"?
"You randomly pick an allusion, interpret the scriptures with the scriptures, and verify the scriptures with history."
Cui Xian was stunned by the other party's question.
ah?
If the other party had asked a different question today, Cui Xian would not have reacted like this and might have answered it without thinking.
But the current situation is really a bit unbearable.
Cui Xian's stunned state made the young man in the dark blue Confucian robe look uneasy: "You can't have never read this famous eight-part essay known as the 'first work', right?"
That’s not the case.
Cui Xian quickly said, "I have read it."
Having read this epic poem, he did not answer the question quickly, but showed a hesitant and dazed expression.
What it means is self-evident.
Obviously, this person named 'Jia Shao' is Cui Xian's 'black fan'!
The young man in the dark blue scholar's robe immediately became embarrassed, and he was no longer as polite as before. He scolded: "You and I are both scholars. Since you have read this original work, you should know its status in the world of eight-part essays!"
"I know what you're thinking. Senior Brother Cui hasn't shown up for five years, and some blind mediocre people are talking nonsense and mocking him for running out of ideas."
"However, how could a person who could write such a peerless article as "The Story of King Wu's Succession to King Tai, King Ji, and King Wen" be as rumored by the outside world, that greatness does not necessarily mean goodness?"
"I guess you also think that Senior Brother Cui's writing is incomplete and his talent is exhausted! That's why you showed this expression when you heard me ask you to analyze his beautiful article."
"You are really just looking at the world from a well, with great ambitions but little talent!"
"Even a proud and talented man like Senior Brother Su considers Senior Brother Cui to be his equal! Looking at the younger generation in Daliang, how many geniuses can we all recognize as Senior Brothers?"
"I don't care where you were before, and I heard people talking nonsense about Senior Brother Cui. From now on, adjust your mindset and have awe for geniuses. Do you understand?"
He talked incessantly, scolded a lot, and looked very angry.
Cui Xian: “…”
Frankly speaking, since he became famous, Cui Xian hasn't been criticized like this for a long time.
But why do I feel so good for no reason?
If you are so good at speaking, then say more, brother!
Seeing that Cui Xian remained silent, the young man in the dark blue Confucian robe became even angrier: "Did you listen to what I said?"
Cui Xian glanced at the other person's face and said comfortingly: "My dear brother, please don't be angry. I don't mean to look down on Cui Xian."
The young man in the navy blue Confucian robe said angrily, "Call me Brother Cui!"
Okay, okay, it’s up to you.
Cui Xian immediately changed his words: "I don't mean to look down on Brother Cui."
At this moment, the former number one child prodigy of Daliang was being scolded like a nervous new recruit.
The young man in the navy blue Confucian robe looked a little better.
But after such an experience, he was no longer in the mood to test Jia Shao's knowledge. He said stiffly, "Follow me into the carriage. Remember, the scholars traveling with us this time are all of noble character and have profound ideas."
"And a large number of them are fans of Senior Brother Cui. Including Senior Brother Su, they all admire Senior Brother Cui very much. So, don't show any disdain for Senior Brother Cui in front of everyone."
"You are lucky to have met me today. If you had met someone with a bad temper, I would not have let you get on the carriage!"
"Also, my name is Zhang Tingyu."
Cui Xian bowed and said, "Brother Zhang."
Zhang Tingyu nodded: "Follow me into the carriage."
Cui Xian picked up his bag and got on the carriage with Zhang Tingyu.
There were five young scholars sitting in the carriage.
Including Cui Xian and Zhang Tingyu, there are seven people in total, and to be honest, it is a bit crowded.
But it was others who were squeezed.
As soon as Cui Xian got on the bus, these people snorted and sat on the other side.
He had a disdainful expression as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Cui Xian.
Obviously, they had heard the conversation between Zhang Tingyu and Cui Xian in the carriage just now.
A mediocre person who dares to express disdain towards Senior Brother Cui is not worthy of our close friendship!
Cui Xian looked at them like this and was speechless.
I was isolated because I 'despised' myself.
How ridiculous!
But to be honest, Cui Xian was still somewhat happy.
Although he hasn't appeared in public for five years, not all the people out there are his 'black fans', he still has quite a few 'fans'.
But everyone was hostile to him and no one wanted to talk to him.
Cui Xian was so confused that he only knew that this group of people must be going to participate in the Luoyang Flower Viewing and Literary Festival.
But we don't know where they came from or what their identities are.
It is not clear who the powerful "Senior Brother Su" in the most luxurious carriage at the front of the team mentioned by Zhang Tingyu is.
Cui Xian didn't dare to ask.
I was afraid of being accused of being disrespectful to Senior Brother Cui and even Senior Brother Su.
Forget it, just follow me. As long as we can get to Luoyang, it’s fine.
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were moving forward on the official road.
At 10 p.m. in the evening, when it was completely dark, they arrived at the Baofeng County Post Station and prepared to rest for the night.
At the Baofeng County Post Station, there were also several young scholars waiting with invitations to the Luoyang Flower Viewing and Literary Meeting.
It seems that the convoy took a detour to pick up these scholars.
