Chapter 242 Introduction
The next day, when Cen Shen got up, he found that the two Hu Ji were standing beside him, and he couldn't help but feel moved. He thought he wanted to work hard in the right Neiru Mansion and wasted his time, but he never thought of encountering such a good opportunity.
The two Hu Ji woke up immediately and hurriedly served Cen Shen to dress and wash. After they served the bed, they were already Cen Langjun's people, and Cen Shen had nothing to do with it.
When I saw Chen Guang again, Cen Shen, who was refreshed, found that Chen Lang, who was still suave yesterday, was frowning and mourning today.
"What's wrong with Chen Lang? If there is anything difficult, just tell Yu Mou."
"Brother Cen has a kind heart, but Brother Cen can't help with this matter!"
"You don't even tell Yu, Chen Lang, how do you know that you can't help?"
"The Protector wants to take the Jinshi exam in the current year."
"Chen Lang is extremely talented, but he is not a good master."
Cen Shen said with a strange look on his face. He thought that Chen Guang must be a well-educated person. He did not participate in the imperial examination in the past, so he was just disdainful. Now Gao Dupuji wants him to take the imperial examination, which is not a difficult task.
"Brother Cen, don't laugh at me. Although I am proficient in music, I am not the director of this poem."
Cen Shen looked at Chen Guang with sincere face, full of disbelief, but after he asked Chen Guang a few words casually, he found that Chen Guang really couldn't write poems, and even the current affairs he wrote were not literary. Although he was very particular and well-organized, he was just as good as chewing wax no matter how he looked.
"Chen Lang, that's not what this article was written?"
"I would like to ask Brother Cen for advice."
Looking at Chen Guang who was humbly asking for advice, Cen Shen was determined to be this teacher, but there were some things you couldn't teach just by just wanting to teach. He asked Cen Shen to write poems and songs, and he didn't frown, but it was his turn to teach others, but he didn't know how to start no matter how he thought about it.
"Chen Lang, I'm not good at teaching others, but I can find a teacher for you, but I'm much better than I'm not."
Cen Shen thought of Du Fu. First, Du Fu was better at patience than him, and was only stronger than him in his poetry and prose attainments. The key is that this brother Du often talks about the point, and he wrote regular verses in a stable manner, but he also had magnificent works. Second, he knew that Du Fu participated in this year's imperial examination. If he could be with Shen Lang, he might have more opportunities.
The Jinshi exam is not only about poetry, essays, but also about human nature and luck. Otherwise, why would those scholars stranded in Chang'an City have to cling to the powerful and gain fame?
With Chen Lang's current reputation, as long as the poems and essays written during the exam are not too bad, he will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi.
"Oh, I don't know who can make Brother Cen so respectful."
"Someone is named Du Fu, whose courtesy name is Zimei, but he is not a boast. His poems and essays are not as good as Li Taibai."
When Chen Guang heard the name Du Fu, he felt that he was about to explode. There were many famous quatrains in Tang poetry. However, when people in later generations talked about Tang poetry, the first thing they thought of was Li and Du. Now the opportunity to see Du Fu is right in front of him, how could Chen Guang miss it?
"Then please help me introduce it."
"Don't worry, Brother Du is going to come to Huaiyuanfang to copy your music score, he will definitely not refuse."
Cen Shen laughed. He didn't know what Brother Du is like. As long as he spoke on behalf of Chen Lang, Brother Du would do his best to teach Chen Lang.
Just as the two were chatting, Wang Shenyuan called out not far away, "Langjun, the little lady of the Wang family has arrived."
"Brother Cen, please be sure to help me keep Brother Du, and I should ask him for advice."
Chen Guang suddenly became full of motivation to learn again. Du Fu was a tutor for him. He was able to take the Jinshi exam.
After leaving the stone mansion with Cen Shen, he looked at the heroic Wang Yunxiu riding on the horse. Chen Guang also turned over and said to Cen Shen, "Brother Cen, I'll ask you everything."
"Chen Lang, go, when someone meets Brother Du, he will go to Yichunyuan to find you."
"Chen Lang, who is Brother Du?"
After leaving Huaiyuanfang, Wang Yunxiu asked himself that Chen Lang had a great chat with Cen Shenjun yesterday, and he fell in love with him at first sight. He never thought that there was a brother Du behind him. Looking at Chen Lang's expression, that brother Du was probably also an amazing person.
"That Brother Du, he is a person who can be as famous as Li Taibai!"
"Is Chen Lang joking about being as famous as Li Taibai?"
Wang Yunxiu didn't believe that Li Taibai was famous all over the world and was arrogant. Although Aye didn't like him, he really couldn't put down his poems and essays.
Chen Guang did not answer. Although Du Fu has a little reputation at the moment, he still cannot be compared with Li Taibai. But sooner or later, people will know that his poems and essays are no worse than Li Taibai.
"By the way, Chen Lang, Aye said he wanted to invite you to the mansion. Don't worry, if he dares to force you, I will..."
Looking at Wang Yunxiu's careful appearance, Chen Guang couldn't help laughing, "Xiang, please be relieved, I'll go back with you."
The imperial edict for marriage has not been issued yet, and Chen Guang didn't know what demon the saint was doing, but he was no longer worried about Wang Zhongsi. This general can't force him to stay in the mansion anymore!
...
In the Daming Palace, Li Longji, who was frustrated after getting up, had no appetite. Speaking of which, he felt that he was also a self-destructive person, so he asked the children of Liyuan to go to Yichunyuan to attend Chen Lang's lectures, which made him unable to go to Yichunyuan to play with Chen Lang to relieve his boredom.
"Sanlang, what's wrong?"
"Yuhuan, why did I ask the Liyuan children to Yichunyuan to go to Yichunyuan?"
Yang Yuhuan looked at the annoyed saint and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled. It wasn't that he said he couldn't let Gongsun take advantage of it, so he asked the Liyuan to select his children to go to Yichunyuan to listen. However, he never thought that in the past few days, the Liyuan had a big fuss about the number of places to listen to. Finally, he discussed taking turns to go there. Those people knew the saint Tianyan.
"Sanlang, let's endure it for a few days. Then we will make an appointment with Chenlang and go to Xishi to play."
"Forget it, let's bear it for the next few days. Let's ask Lishi to find out how Chen Lang has been in Yichunyuan recently?"
Thinking of Chen Guang's bad-looking personality, Li Longji always felt a pity. He had originally expected the beauties in Yichunyuan to keep Chen Lang in the gentle village of Chang'an City.
"Sanlang, in a few days it will be a grand ceremony. If you have to meet envoys from various countries, it is better to invite Chen Lang to come and play it. After all, he did those songs."
Hearing Yang Yuhuan's words, Li Longji couldn't help but pat his thigh, "Look at my memory, why did I forget this matter?"
Now the Tang Dynasty is in full swing. Every year in the first month, Li Longji would accept tributes from various countries at Qinzheng Building, receive envoys, and hold banquets to send gifts. This year, because he listened to the songs "The King of Xiang", "The King of Nine Provinces" and "The Dragon of Water" made by Chen Lang, he naturally asked the Ministry of Rites to replace the music played at the hajj ceremony and asked Taichang Temple to rehearse quickly.
"Yuhuan is thoughtful. How could such a grand event be missing? Speaking of which, I am still worried that there will be no chance to enfeoff Chenlang, and it just happened to take advantage of this grand ceremony to complete this matter."
Thinking that Chen Guang was still a mere judge, Li Longji was a little unhappy. He also read the battle report from the Beiting Protectorate. Although Chen Lang made great achievements in fighting, he led Yisheng to fight, and was not from the Beiting Army. It was not a good thing to rashly reward him.
