Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 188 The middle school boy
"Why are you being polite to me?" Su Shi said, pretending to be displeased.

"Haha, my teacher likes landscape painting very much. It will be his sixtieth birthday in a few months. I plan to use this painting as a birthday gift." Li An thought for a while and said something.

If it were him, if the gift he gave to a friend was given to someone else by a friend, he would feel uncomfortable.

"If the painting is given to you, it is yours. Whoever you give it to is your freedom. And it is an honor for me that Liu Yushi likes my painting." Su Shi said with a smile.

At this time, Su Shi was only slightly famous. Because of Ding You, that little bit of fame had almost dissipated.

Just a little bit arrogant.

Although Liu Xuewen was not a great scholar, he was somewhat famous in the stone forest. Li An gave his paintings to Liu Xuewen as a birthday gift, which shows that he recognized his paintings very much.

Liu Xuewen's ability to collect his paintings also greatly improved his reputation.

"By the way, Ziqian, are you free tomorrow? I'll take you to meet someone." Su Shi said.

"I just arrived in Bianjing yesterday afternoon. I have a break in school today. I have to go to school tomorrow anyway." Li An declined politely.

Simply put, he was the emperor's think tank and secretary.

Speaking of which, Hai Wenren also served as the magistrate of Yangzhou, but before Sheng Hong was promoted to the general magistrate of Yangzhou, he had been transferred back to Bianjing to serve as a Hanlin bachelor.

Because these five people were all awarded Jinshi.

The officials asked Mr. Fan to preside over the New Deal, and Hai Wenren has always firmly supported the New Deal.

Hearing what Su Shi said, Li An still didn't know who he was talking about. Isn't this the Yue family of Sheng Changbai in the future.

Although the rank is not high, the status is very important.

Three are serving as officials in other places, and two have entered the Hanlin Academy.

Later, he was demoted because he helped defend Xianggong Fan. Not long after, he was transferred to the capital again and was promoted to the positions of Zhijianyuan and Zhizhigao.

"Xueshi Hai?" Li An looked at Su Shi in confusion upon hearing this.

Haiwenren's official position was not high, he was only a fifth-grade Hanlin bachelor.

However, the main responsibility of Hanlin scholars is to provide advice to the emperor and be responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts.

The five brothers of the Hai family are each known for their benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. This generation is a literary generation, and now the eldest brother of the Hai family, Hai Wenren, is in charge.

"It's the Hai family with one discipline and three Hanlin disciplines." Su Shi explained.

At that time, the old man of the Hai family was still alive and had not become an official, but he still had a reputation as a three-level scholar.

"That's a pity. I also want to introduce you to Xueshi Hai." Su Shi said with a pity look on his face.

There are five brothers in the Hai family of this generation, who are known as the Five Heroes of the Hai family.

The eldest of the five Hai family brothers, Hai Wenren, was awarded a gold medal at the age of 23 and entered the Hanlin Academy as a colographer.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, except for a few people, most of the princes have served in the Imperial Academy.

The Hai family has been holding hairpins for generations, and from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, someone from every generation has served as an official in the court.

After the failure of the New Deal, he even wrote a letter to oppose the removal of Grand Prime Minister Fan and was sent out to serve as magistrate.

He felt that Su Shi would most likely take him to a brothel to meet the courtesans, and he didn't want to go.

Hai Wenren is only in his early thirties now. It can be said that there is a great chance that he will be able to become a prime minister in the future and be respectfully called Xianggong.

"How did you meet Xuexian Hai?" Li An asked in surprise.

"When I took the imperial examination, the official who marked the papers was Xueshi Hai. He admired my articles very much. After the imperial examination, I became famous in Bianjing because Xueshi Hai praised my articles. Later, when I returned home to Dingyou, I also had a long time. I have exchanged letters with Academician Hai, and when I returned to Bianjing this time, I made a special trip to visit..." Su Shi slowly told the story.

Li An already regretted it when he learned that Su Shi was taking him to see Hai Wenren.

When Su Shi heard that Hai Wenren had allowed him to borrow books from his family's collection, he regretted it even more.

You must know that the Hanlin Academy is also in charge of royal classics. Two generations of the Hai family have served in the Hanlin Academy. It is conceivable that the family has a rich collection of books.

If Li An can get Hai Wenren's approval, he might be able to borrow books from the Hai family collection.

You know, although there is printing, the books circulating on the market are actually ordinary books. Many precious classics have been treasured and cannot be seen at all.

Like Liu Xuewen and the Sheng family, there are many precious classics that are not available on the market.

And those books they have can be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the Hai family's collection of books.

Not to mention the annotations of successive generations of the Hai family.

There is a saying that goes well: if you read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them.

He has a photographic memory. If he could memorize all the Haijia collection of books, including the annotations, plus his two lifetime experiences, it would be possible for him to become the top scholar in the examination.

It's not like Li An never thought of telling Su Shi that he didn't have to go to school tomorrow.

But he had already rejected it just now. If he changed his mind now, it would be too purposeful and would inevitably make Su Shi look down upon.

He shook his head and gave up the idea. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

He stayed at Su's house until nearly noon, and after rejecting the Su Shi brothers' invitation to have dinner, Li An took his calligraphy and paintings and left.

The Su brothers sent him to the door together and saw him riding away in a carriage.

"Brother, just now Ziqian heard that you were going to introduce him to Xueshi Hai, and he seemed to regret it a little." Su Zhe said.

"This is normal. Can you refuse this temptation?" Su Shi said with a smile.

Su Che thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I can't refuse."

Getting to know Hai Wenren goes beyond just borrowing books from the Hai family collection.

If you can get Hai Wenren's appreciation and a few words of praise, you will immediately become famous.

Su Che asked himself, if he were Li An, he would not be able to refuse this temptation.

"You can't refuse. Isn't it normal for Ziqian to have a heartbeat? It's one thing to have a heartbeat, but it's another thing to be able to control it. As an elder brother, I'm not as stable as you, but as a person, you are still far behind. "Su Shi was afraid of Su Che's shoulders, so he smiled and walked in.

……

Li An didn't know that Su Shi's brothers were talking about him, and he still felt regretful for refusing to follow Su Shi to the Hai family.

Hai Wenren is famous for his love of supporting and nurturing underachievers, regardless of his background, only his talent and learning.

Li An could only comfort himself in his heart. With his current talent and learning, he was still far behind Su Shi. Even if Su Shi took him to see Hai Wenren, he might not be appreciated by Hai Wenren.

Thinking about it this way, Li An felt better.

When I got home, I put away my paintings, had lunch, took a nap, played in the snow for a while, and then went to the study to read.

This morning, Haitang taught Cai'er how to tidy up the study and some of Li An's habits.

Cai'er knew that Li An didn't like to be disturbed when he was reading, so he gave him a pot of hot tea and left.

Li An was reading a book when Shi Zhu and Liu He came over.

"Brother A Niu, I want to pick a word." Shi Zhu said as soon as they met.

"Get the word?"

Li An was a little confused. Words were reserved for scholars and people with a certain status.

Ordinary people don't know how to pick up characters at all.

Shizhu doesn't know a single big character, so why does he suddenly want to pick up characters?

Li An was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses and said, "Then I will get one for you? Or should I ask the teacher to get one for you?"

"No need, I've already picked it up, just call it Yuanba!" Shizhu said in a buzzing voice.

"Cousin, I also gave my cousin a nickname, Zilong." Liu He said.

Li An: "..."
