Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 757

When Shi Hanshan and the others got off the carriage, they saw three or four men standing at the gate of the garden, ranging in age from ten to twenty years old, all of them were well-mannered and handsome.Judging from their attire, they should be scholars, not servants.

"Brothers, are you here for the tea party? Can I see your invitation card?" An older man greeted him.

Su Heng handed over the invitation in his hand, and asked curiously: "Are you..."

"Oh, we are students of Runzhou Academy, and we came here voluntarily to help Master Du hold a tea party." The man laughed, "In Xialin Xuan, the three brothers are very polite."

"Students as intellectuals? That's interesting." Su Heng laughed.

He is more prominent and richer than Shi Hanshan's family, and because of this, he has a dandy-like indulgence and indifference.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, but only glanced at Su Heng, and saw that the invitations of the other two had been checked by his classmates, so he made a gesture: "The three of you are welcome."

The three of them followed Lin Xuan inside.

Liang Xiankuan has done a lot of garden promotion in the capital since he partnered with Du Jinning in the garden business.Leisurely celebrities like Su Heng and Shi Hanshan have naturally visited many gardens.Seeing Du Jinning's garden where the flowers and trees haven't grown yet, he didn't think much of it.

Shi Hanshan memorized his article, and couldn't help asking Lin Xuandao: "How are you, Mr. Du?"

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since Master Du came to Runzhou, because he was in charge of farming and it was time for spring plowing, he has been busy with farmland water conservancy. We have little contact. Mr. Lu, Mr. Shi and Mr. Peng , went to the academy to teach us a few times, knowledgeable, amiable, our academy students respect them very much."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lu and the others are not young, right? In front of them, Mr. Du, is he performing the disciple ceremony?" Su Heng asked with a hint of joking.

"Senior, you are wrong." Lin Xuan, who is a scholar, changed his name after knowing that the three people in front of him were all Juren.

He said seriously: "When Mr. Du and Mr. Lu were together, Mr. Lu and the others respected Mr. Du. Mr. Lu also told us during his lectures that although Mr. Du is young, he is very knowledgeable. Most people are knowledgeable."

Worried that the three of them underestimated Du Jinning, and made a bad scene after a while, Lin Xuan explained again: "Master Du has a photographic memory. He is also very hardworking. He has read all the books in the Zangshu Pavilion there. Because of his good memory, he can remember more things in his mind than some people in his entire life; in addition, he is gifted and intelligent, has a strong comprehension ability, and is extremely tolerant, so he is only 15 years old. At a young age, you can learn about the ancients and the present. Being admitted to the number one scholar is like finding something out of a bag, and it is a matter of course."

Su Heng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

He himself is just a man.Compared with Du Jinning, who won the first prize at the age of 15, he is naturally nothing.

Shi Hanshan elbowed Su Heng, signaling him to restrain himself and keep his mouth open.

He cupped his hands and said with a smile to Lin Xuan: "My elder brother didn't mean to be rude to Mr. Du. He was just making a joke because Mr. Du is too young. I hope you don't take it seriously."

"Senior, you are very polite. But Master Du is indeed worthy of respect." This Lin Xuan was probably brainwashed by Lu Jiuyuan, and he admired Du Jinning a lot. As an errand, asking a foreigner to come to Runzhou to study double-cropping rice is worthy of the admiration of everyone in the Song Dynasty."

"Double-cropping rice?" Li Ziyi, who had been silent all this time, changed his face, "You are talking about double-cropping rice, but the double-cropping rice mentioned in "Chang Tian Ji"?"

Shi Hanshan and Su Heng also changed their faces, they thought of a possibility.

Without waiting for them to ask, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, it is the double-cropping rice in "Chang Tian Ji". The three seniors don't know yet? "Chang Tian Ji" was written by Mr. Du."

"Jinchun Ningqiu? Du Jinning?" Su Heng murmured, and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"I didn't expect that." Shi Hanshan shook his head and sighed.

Li Ziyi's family background is no worse than Su Heng and Shi Hanshan's, but because he is younger than the two, in his twenties, and Su Heng's cousin, he usually has two older brothers in front of him, so he doesn't talk much.

But now he became excited: "Master Du really wrote it? I can actually meet the author of "Chang Tian Ji"? Ah, I'm so happy."

"This child." Shi Hanshan couldn't help laughing, "I forgot, you are very fascinated by "Chang Tian Ji"."

Seeing the attitude of the three towards Du Jinning changed greatly, Lin Xuan also became happy, pointed to the front and said: "We are here."

The three of them raised their eyes and saw a bridge with nine twists and turns in front of them, leading to a waterside pavilion, and faintly visible figures shaking in the waterside pavilion.The three of them quickened their pace.

After entering the waterside pavilion, the three of them realized that it was not a waterside pavilion, but more like a small island. The small island seemed to be connected to a water bay, and on the other side of the water bay, a building with a smaller area than the current building Some boats.

There were more than thirty people in the hall of the water pavilion. Some of these people gathered together to talk, and some sat at a row of tables and ate the fruits or snacks on it.

Shi Hanshan glanced at the hall, pointed to a very handsome young man who was surrounded by talking, and lowered his voice to ask Lin Xuandao: "Is that Mr. Du Jinning Du?"

Su Heng and Li Ziyi glanced at the man, then turned to look at Lin Xuan questioningly.

In this hall, only that man has the most outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. He should be the most beautiful No. [-] scholar in the legend.

"Exactly." Lin Xuanyu smiled proudly.

He bowed to the three of them: "The three seniors wait a moment."

After speaking, he walked forward, walked to Du Jinning's side and said a few words, Du Jinning raised his head and looked over here.

Shi Hanshan and the others hurriedly raised their hands and arched at her from afar.

Yao Shuqi had already told Du Jinning about the situation of these three people, and Du Jinning greeted Lu Jiuyuan, walked towards this side with him, and chatted with Shi Hanshan and the other three.

At the end she smiled and said: "Since the three brothers have come, everyone is already here. Why don't we start."

If Su Heng and Shi Hanshan still had the arrogance of celebrities at the beginning, then after being brainwashed by Lin Xuan for a while, they no longer dared to have any pride in front of Du Jinning.

Su Heng smiled and said, "Please go ahead, we are looking forward to it."

Du Jinning raised his hand high and clapped it a few times, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards this side one after another.

"Lu Yu once said: 'A piece of tea is only famous for tea, and the guests are full of tea fragrance.' It is a great honor to invite everyone to this tea party today. The tea used in today's tea party is all from me. The tea garden; the utensils used are all from my design; the techniques of making tea by the tea people all have rules and regulations. I would like to present the tea method to respect you.”

　see you tomorrow
