Chapter 37 Meet King Luo Bin for the first time

Hongyun Inn is not big, only three into the yard. Among the countless inns in Beijing, it can only go to the medium-sized side at most. But because it is close to Shangshu Province, the business is good, especially when there is a big comparison every three years, it is full of customers. Generally speaking, it is scholars from all over the country who come to Beijing to try it. It's really It can be said that the school is full of books, and there is a grand occasion of "talking and laughing, and there is no white ding". If you come here for the exam, you will hear the sound of reading one after another, which is interesting. But now, when the exam has been completed and the list has not been released, almost all the scholars have taken the opportunity to travel, either looking for relatives and friends, or walking under the powerful. Or go out of the city for spring, and it is rare to have a left-behind person. Perhaps the old scholar in the fourth room is the only exception.

The old scholar is indeed not young. His temples are mottled, his beard is half white, and his face is dark and haggard. Obviously, he is a person with bad luck. In fact, he is indeed the same. This person is the king of Luo Bin, who is famous for his poetic talent, Luo Binwang, is a person from Yiwu, Wuzhou (now Yiwu, Zhejiang, China). He has had a child prodigy since he was a child. It is said that at the age of 22, he participated in the Beijing Normal University as a township tribute. Unfortunately, his name fell to Sunshan. At the age of 25, he made a comeback. Unexpectedly, he still failed to be on the list. At the time of death, he was appreciated by the eldest grandson Wuji, who was a left servant at that time, and was able to join his staff as a subordinate. Soon after, he offended the villain because of his straightforward nature. He was trapped, and his official position was dismissed. On the way back to his hometown, he was invited by Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism, who admired his name. He served as an official in the Taoist palace for three years. After that, he refused the Taoist king to stay and took his family to Yanzhou with his mouth. He wanted to learn from his grandfather to read to entertain himself. However, the scholar was not a ploughing person. After several struggles, he not only had no pleasure, but also the only one The little savings have been exhausted, almost to the point of "no support, no capital in the review". In addition, the old mother is old and sick, and she urgently needs money. In desperation, she can only write to ask his former friend Si Lietai Changbo Liu Xiangdao to introduce him on his behalf, in order to obtain the status of participating in the imperial examination. Fortunately, Liu Xiangdao ran away righteously, and Luo Bin was able to be "a sage" Participate in today's University of Science and Technology.

Bad luck, bad official luck, poor life, empty ambitions but nowhere to use. This kind of suffering is really bearable, not to mention a well-learned man like Luo Binwang, but years of suffering has not changed Luo Binwang's upright nature, even if this time in order to raise money to help his mother cure her illness, Luo Binwang had to ask for help from his best friend Liu Xiangdao, who was already a senior official, against his will. But once he really qualified for comparison, Luo Binwang still disdained to run to the door of the powerful, and did not even move the idea of visiting Liu Xiangdao. He would rather sit and wait for the announcement of the list. This is due to his high personality, but in fact, it is more in his pocket. For the sake of shyness, at this time, Luo Binwang, not to mention going to the door of the powerful, even if he went out for an outing to invite the carriage, he could only huddle in the inn to pass the time by chanting poems.

"I'm so sad that I can play the Taiguan. The scales are frightening, and the falling feathers are timid..."

Luo Binwang's poem is undoubtedly good, but under the influence of his mood, he can't help but feel a little depressed. Under such a shallow singing, there is a feeling of desolation, but he himself doesn't care. He is blindly silent in the mood, and seems to see the sadness when he left Beijing sadly.

"Is Mr. Luo there?"

Just as Luo Binwang remembered the past, there was a knock on the door, and then there was a question. Luo Binwang was very familiar with the voice, except for the loud voice of the second child in the shop.

"Wait a minute."

As soon as he heard that the store's second child was calling the door, Luo Binwang couldn't help but feel a little worried. It was not because the poetry was interrupted, but because he was shy and had been in arrears for the room fee for several days. At this time, he was really afraid of being urged. Although the store had never urged about the room fee, Luo Binwang himself was deeply sorry. No.

"Mr. Luo, you are really here. I said that you are a diligent person, and he must be working hard again." As soon as the door opened, without waiting for Luo Binwang to say anything, the shopkeeper had already pulled it with a smile.

"Little brother, please forgive the room fee for a few days. It's time to be on the list. Luo will definitely pay for it."

Luo Binwang was deeply afraid that it would not look good when the store's second child urged him, so he rushed to open his mouth and explained with an apologetic face.

"Alas, what is Mr. Luo talking about? The little one is not here to urge the house money. Well, just talk and forget the business. Ha ha, Mr. Luo, there is a gentleman who wants to see you."

The shopkeeper was obviously a cheerful person. As soon as he heard Luo Binwang's words, he immediately laughed, patted his thigh, and hurried to explain.

"Oh?" Luo Binwang has been in Beijing for many days, and some old friends have come to invite him. However, Luo Binwang is a tall and doesn't want to see people as a depressed person, so he refuses in the name of Wenshu to prepare for the exam. He just waits to visit again after the list is released. Now the list has not been released yet. You old friends know his personality and will not disturb him at this time. Hearing Xiao Er's words, he couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't remember how he had a young acquaintance.

"Sir, this is Mr. Luo, who is famous all over the world. If Mr. Luo can get Mr. Luo's advice, he will definitely achieve something in the future. Ha ha, well, my little mouth is broken. I won't disturb you two. Please, I'm busy."

The shopkeeper enthusiastically gave way to the side, introduced a pair of master and servant for Luo Binwang, and then said hello with a smile and was busy.

"Student Wang Sanlang has met Mr. Luo." As soon as the shopkeeper left, a young man in blue had come forward. He bowed to Luo Binwang and greeted him politely.

"I dare not, I don't know if the prince is here..."

Luo Binwang was not good at socializing with people. At this time, before the meeting, the teenager looked incomparable and not old, but he was only in his early ten years old, but he was not small, and he did not dare to despise him. However, Luo Binwang did not want to gossip with strangers, so he hesitated to ask half of the words and did not invite the teenager into the room at all. The meaning of narration.

"Students have always been good at writing. I have to hear that Mr. He is here. He is overjoyed and has the audacity to come here. It's a lot of interruption."

Of course, Wang Sanlang is not Wang Sanlang, but Li Xian, the king of Zhou, who made a private visit. This time, he came to Hongyun Inn and made a special trip to visit Luo Binwang. Li Xian had some relationships with Luo Binwang in his previous life, but he was not a deep friendship, but he admired Luo Binwang's talent and uprightness. When it came to Luo Binwang, he suffered. When the party was in prison, Li Xian still ran for it. Even as soon as he became the prince, he went to Gaozong to get rid of his sins, not only because he cherished Luo Binwang's talent and learning, but also because he was not afraid of the backbone of the powerful. Of course, Li Xian also knew the misfortune of Luo Binwang's life. There was nothing he could do in his previous life. That's all. Now that he has been reborn in this life, Li Xian wants to try to see if he can pull it into his own camp and save his lingering life by the way.

"You're welcome. Luo just got a false reputation. It's not worth mentioning."

At this time, Luo Binwang was poor and didn't want to be a guest in this capacity. He completely regarded Li Xian's beautiful words as a wind in his ear. He smiled and replied casually, but he still stood still at the door of the room. That posture was clear that he meant to expel guests.

Luo Binwang's indifferent eviction may be effective for others, but if some shameless people see this, nine times out of ten will consciously leave. Can it be used to deal with Li Xian? It's useless. Not to mention anything else, bare-skinned things, Li Xian has practiced like a copper wall and an iron wall in later officialdom. Generally, don't say a few salty words, even if you stab with an awl, I'm afraid it may not leave any marks.

"Otherwise, Mr. Luo is too modest. Your poems are famous all over the world. It is natural to want to leave a name in history. I have admired Mr.'s demeanor since I was a child. However, if I can get Mr.'s new work, students must read it over and over again until they can recite it. Every time I understand the charm of it carefully, it will benefit students a lot. Now I can see Mr. In person, the students couldn't help but be happy.

The ability next to Li Xian may not be very smart, but his eloquence is a first-class stick. Seeing people talking about people and telling ghosts, I'm afraid it can be ranked all over the world. Perhaps among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, only Li Yifu can compete with Li Xian. At this time, Luo Binwang is tricked, which is one after another. Even if Luo Binwang was no matter how tall he was, he was vigorously held by such a little boy as Li Xian. He was really a little dizzy for a while, and his indifferent face suddenly eased a little.

"The prince is overreputed, and Luo doesn't dare to do it." Although Luo Binwang's face was a little pale, he still did not mean to invite Li Xian in. He just smiled and bowed his hand and returned a salute.

Uh-huh, there is a door, come again! Li Xian saw that Luo Binwang's face had slowed down a little, and he was quite proud of himself. He immediately continued while it was hot: "What the students said are true, and there is no falsehood. At the age of seven, he wrote "Ode to the Goose", 18 works "Looking for Chrysanthemums in the Rain", and then there are many names such as "There is a pregnancy on the way", "Send Fei Liu to Shu", "Send Hou Side bullets" and so on. In this article, students are familiar with the details. Every time they regard it as Guigao, they also learn it. They get a number of poems. They know that their learning is shallow, which is far less than that of a gentleman. If they can get the gentleman's axe, it is a great blessing for students. I hope you will not hesitate to teach them. Students are polite.

As the saying goes, he reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling man. Not to say anything about Li Xian, almost every word has scratched the itch of Luo Binwang. In this way, it is impossible for Luo Binwang to refuse Li Xian from the door again. Even if he doesn't want to meet guests in a poor and lowly way, there is no reason to refuse Li Xian. After a moment of meditation, he goes to the side. He made a "please" gesture and said, "The prince's words are heavy. I don't dare to teach him, but it's better to communicate. Mr. Please come in."

Haha, it's done! Hearing Luo Binwang's invitation, Li Xian was secretly proud, but he looked humble and saluted again, "Sir, please."

"Hmm." Luo Binwang was no longer polite this time. He turned around and walked into the room first, while Li Xian whispered a few words to Gao Mi, who followed him, and then calmly walked into Luo Binwang's room...
