Chapter 52: 52nd

A few days ago, Li Jin saw that this dress was only half made. He was not in a hurry to wear it. He was very satisfied just watching Qin Muwen sitting in front of the window, stitching the clothes for himself.

On the bed next to Qin Muwen, there was a small bun who was sleeping soundly.

Both of these are his cubs.

At that time, Li Jin wanted to learn how to paint, and used a brush to draw the two people who are most involved in the world with him on paper.

Think about it is a kind of happiness.

Of course, in the husband's room, it will add subtle affection/interest.

It's a pity that Li Jin has never learned to paint, and the only painting that can be obtained so far is the smiling face of the little bun painted on a whim.

And he also promised to make a picture for the teenager. Later, he didn't forget, but every time he wanted to pick up a pen, he felt powerless.

Li Jin felt that Qin Muwen's such a good person must be painted well.

Stick figures are not suitable to outline the beauty in your mind.

So this matter has been stranded.

Nowadays, there is no need to sit in the medical clinic, Li Jin has time to learn an art.

The six arts are divided into ritual, music, shooting, imperialism, book, and number.

In his time, books were interpreted as calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, but in this era, "books" only refer to calligraphy and painting.

Because calligraphy is an indispensable skill for scholars, it is no longer included in the Six Arts.

Li Jin did not mention to Mr. Song that he wanted to learn to paint, because Mr. Song was also from a poor family. Although he had some savings in teaching and educating people in the past few years, he occasionally had to subsidize the family.

Li Jin did not see any scrolls in Mr. Song's study.

It can be seen that Mr. Song is relatively busy and has not dabbled in this.

As for Chen Xiran, the endorsement is already the biggest requirement of his family, and it is even impossible to draw a pen and paint.

However, Chen Xiran seems to know how to ride, which Li Jin has not yet confirmed.

Therefore, there are basically no people around Li Jin who can paint. The town is small, and there are only a few well-known scholars, not to mention the "sage hand of the painting world come to live in seclusion" in the script.

Li Jin could not find anyone who could teach him painting.

The next day, Li Jin had breakfast at home and wandered around the yard for a while holding the little bun.

I don’t have to go to school today. The time for Doushi to drink tea is set at Si Shi (10 in the morning).

The tea garden didn't open the door early, and Li Jin simply practiced a few characters before leaving.

Li Jin discussed with Chen Xiran and met the shop selling steamed buns in the town in the morning, and then went to the tea garden together.

When Li Jin arrived, Chen Xiran was already holding a meat bun and squatting on the side of the road to eat.

The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop looked dazed, she couldn't imagine how this person could wear satin clothes and eat steamed stuffed buns on the side of the road.

Chen Xiran gave Li Jin two meat buns, but Li Jin didn't plan to ask for it.

But Chen Xiran said: "I know you have eaten in the morning, but I have attended those poem-fighting gatherings before. A group of people are especially good at composing poems and then complimenting others. They don't want to eat until the afternoon."

Li Jin was silent for a while, took the buns, and chose to eat them.

He eats breakfast early. If he really fights poems until the afternoon and can only drink tea during the period, he will really be hungry.

Chen Xiran followed Li Jin as he walked to introduce him. Mr. Song sent Da Lang to his home in the morning and told him that Li Jin had never participated in a poem-fighting party before and asked him to tell Li Jin his experience.

So that Li Jin has a psychological preparation.

So Chen Xiran didn't have breakfast at home, and went to buy buns and pastries, and ate with Li Jin first.

Li Jin finally understood that Chen Xiran's experience can be summarized in three words: bored and hungry.

Boredom means that when he attends this kind of gathering, he basically just gags around. He can't appreciate the poems made by others, and the poems made by himself... others can't appreciate it.

However, due to the reputation of the previous husband, he had to participate in this kind of gathering, otherwise he would have a reputation as an out-of-group, which would hinder him from taking the imperial examination.

Chen Xiran said: "This time I have prepared a lot of inspiration, no matter what topic they have, they can write it out."

They have to be appreciated.

The tea plantation is not far from the town. It is a manor house of a wealthy family in the county seat. Usually there are no people living in it, but the yard is very big. Home now.

It happened that Huang Xiucai had a student's home with this wealthy family, so he borrowed the yard.

Chen Xiran usually likes to wander around the town, so he naturally knows the route, and Li Jin also asks for directions with him.

Chen Xiran and Li Jin arrived early, only the student who had borrowed the tea garden arrived first. He welcomed them in and introduced himself with a smile.

"My last name is Xu, and my name is Xu Zifan. I am a disciple of Mr. Huang. I plan to participate in the imperial examination in February next year."

Xu Zifan looks very positive. He is twenty-four this year. He has already participated in a county test before, but according to him, that time was simply seeing the world.

Chen Xiran and Li Jin also gave a brief introduction.

Neither of them has the weakest championship, and next year will be the first county test.

Li Jin thought, as expected, this is not a mere poem-fighting gathering, but to let the three students of Huang Xiucai come into contact with the two of them, observe each other's behavior, and take part in the children’s test next year to join the “union guarantee” together.

"Union Insurance" is not a joke. If someone cheats, all five of them will have to sit down and be disqualified from the exam.

auzw.com left the case, and I don’t know if I can take the imperial examination next time.

After the introduction of the few people, Xu Zifan did not let his servants wait, and made tea by himself. With the smoky-blue jacket he wore specially today, it had a kind of celebrity charm.

According to Xu Zifan, Huang Xiucai has three students planning to take the county exam next year.

One is about the same age as him, named Zhou Qi. He was very knowledgeable and had passed the county exam the year before, but failed in the subsequent government exams. So the family married him a wife and gave birth to a child, hoping to be named on the gold list next year.

The other is the same as Chen Xiran and Li Jin, under twenty, and is Huang Xiucai's clan, called Huang Yiling. Next year is also the first time to participate in the county test.

Xu Zifan was a few years older than Li Jin and the others, and smiled and told some interesting facts about taking part in the county test.

"It's the first time to participate in the county test. I don't panic at all. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Like me, if I have not taken the exam at an age, my mentality will be bad. "

Because of this sentence, Chen Xiran has a better impression of him. People who can take the initiative and humble will not have a bad personality and will be easy to deal with in the future.

Li Jin said: "Brother Xu is elegant and elegant, and his tolerance can show his mentality."

Xu Zifan looked at Li Jin and measured his eyes. He had heard from Mr. Huang that Song Xiucai had two protégé students, one was Chen Xiran, a talented and rich young master, and the other was farmer Li Jin.

Only Chen Xiran was famous, but Li Jin couldn't find much news.

But Song Xiucai had come once before and was very satisfied with Li Jin in words, which made the three of them a little curious.

As soon as I saw him today, Li Jin really had a noble temperament. He was a handsome young man, and he couldn't tell the origin of his farmer.

The most important thing is that this person is not stunned at first glance, nor is there any other person's hatred of the rich or the state of being upside down, so people can't help but give him a good impression.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the tea garden.

This time it was the door opened by the servants. Xu Zifan said, "They are both regular customers, so there is no need to go to meet them."

Sure enough, a hoarse voice with youthful vigor came from outside the courtyard.

"Well, you Xu Yuandao, the hospitality is what you do?"

Xu Zifan also said unceremoniously: "Huang Yiling is arguing for the host?"

The relationship between them is familiar, which makes Dou Shi a lot easier.

The servant raised the curtain, and Huang Yiling and another young man in a blue robe came in side by side.

Before they could introduce themselves, Huang Yiling pointed at Li Jin and took a few steps forward.

"You are Doctor Li from Xinglintang?"

When these words came out, except for Chen Xiran, the other two people present were shocked.

Xu Zifan said directly: "Doctor Li, but that little genius doctor, guessed the lantern riddles and guessed the Grand Slam during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

The last person was Zhou Qi. He hadn't spoken at all before, and he was shocked at this moment: "You are the one you are talking about in the teahouse all day long?"

Li Jin felt that this scene was a bit embarrassing.

If it were placed on the son of a big family, even if it was surprised, it would not be so obvious.

But everyone is not of a high background, at best, the standard of living is a little higher, but in terms of dealing with people, they have not yet reached the point where they are comfortable.

Xu Zifan was the first to come back to his senses. He was also driven off by Huang Yiling.

To know that Huang Yiling is sick year after year, but this year is alive and well, it is simply puzzling.

Finally, Mr. Huang said that Huang Yiling had taken the medicine prescribed by Xinglintang.

Xu Zifan had met the world in the county, and he knew that if there was a doctor who could do one step, he would definitely not be obscured, for fear that he would have gained a reputation elsewhere.

As a result, Huang Yiling said that the doctor was a young man and he hadn't seen him much in the town before.

But because he was too young, it shouldn't be what Xu Zifan said.

The few people had made an appointment and planned to go to Xinglintang before the county test.

As a result... Doctor Li actually hid his merit and fame deeply, and stopped being a doctor there.

When everyone sat down, Xu Zifan smiled and eased the atmosphere: "This is nowhere to be found by breaking through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get it! Doctor Li, I respect you for this cup of tea."

After drinking a few rounds of tea, a few people began to write poetry.

Ancient literati think that chrysanthemum symbolizes admonishing quality. There are just a few pots of less expensive chrysanthemums here.

Xu Zifan said: "Then we will take chrysanthemums as the subject and take turns to compose poems."

After Huang Yiling wrote the poem, she suddenly became interested and directly planned to draw a brush.

"This chrysanthemum blooms really well, better than what I saw in the town, I have to draw it."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Okay, you go, and give me a picture."

Huang Yiling: "You are beautiful."

However, Zhou Qi's words also reminded him that he had painted a scene where Doctor Li talked with the pupils around him.

——The man in a long robe is holding a boozi. His face is handsome and young. He has no beard. He raised his eyebrows and smiled without knowing what the people around him said.

Huang Yiling thought, he had originally planned to give the painting to Doctor Li as a gift when he met again.

Now I finally have a chance to send it out.
