60. Be cautious

() On the way back to the Taoist temple, Li Xiuer suddenly found that her mother, who seemed not interested in anything, suddenly became interested in Wang Wei. This was really a very sudden change...

However, Li Xiuer only thought that Wang Wei's painting made her mother have such a change, so she told her mother all the information she knew about Wang Wei without reservation, and even accused her aunt against Wang Wei. Wei's plan was fully revealed, and the tone of Wang Wei's experience was told during the period, showing pride and complacency.

After hearing this, Li Xian'er kept a mysterious smile on her face, which was unpredictable, but she was very satisfied with her daughter's well-behaved, and just pampered her on the head.

This made Li Xiu'er feel that her mother's intimacy with her had increased significantly. In the past, her mother would never patiently listen to her talk so much, let alone touch her head affectionately.

Li Xiuer was sitting comfortably in her mother's warm embrace at this time, she almost regarded her mother as her aunt, but after confirming again and again that this was her usual indifferent mother, she only felt a long-lost sense of happiness lingering between her chest.

The person Li Xiuer is most grateful for now is naturally Wang Wei. She feels that it is just the great power of art that conquered her mother and brought her back from the brink of despair.

Even in the carriage at this time, the painting was still spread out in front of the two of them. Li Xianer stared at the young woman in dark blue in the painting. The more she looked at it, the more fascinated she became. She never thought that she could be so beautiful... If this painting can pass the test of history, does it mean that she will also be famous in history?

So, she suddenly discovered that she still has such a great existence value, and that someone can capture her beauty and perfectly present it on this picture scroll. What she didn't expect was that in the eyes of others, she She was actually a "resentful woman from the boudoir" full of human touch, not that weird person that everyone couldn't understand.

That being the case, it doesn't matter if she just acts as a "resentful woman", she seems to have found something very interesting, and that talented painter Wang Wei has also become a subject of great interest to her. Existence, she wanted to get to know this man in depth, and see how he used that wonderful pen to draw such beautiful paintings.

That's right, in Li Xian'er's eyes, this unusually realistic painting is truly beautiful. It depicts the reality of this world, and only reality is the real beauty.

Wang Wei at this time, of course, did not know that one of his paintings would "save" a young woman who had "stumbled her way", but in fact, Li Xian'er was indeed reborn because of this painting, and she was no longer that confused and desperate woman. Li Wushangdao, but a more lively Li Xian'er-a boudoir who lacks men, pins her love on her sister and daughter.

After Wang Wei felt that he had planned everything, he only waited for news from Wei Zhi. Otherwise, he prepared for the imperial examination safely, and at the same time either went to Wu Daozi to study painting skills together, or humbly learned calligraphy from Zhang Xu. , and there is never a shortage of banquets that should be attended, and the prestige that should be earned will never fall.

For a while, the name of Wang Wei and Wang Mojie became more and more famous in Chang'an, and even many merchants from Chang'an came to Wang Wei to ask for poems, which made Wang Wei suddenly feel that he seemed to be an ancient star, and these merchants I'm here to ask myself to represent...

However, he was not lost in such false fame, because he knew that if these fame could not be transformed into power, it would really be like boundless water. Fame will never have power to make people feel at ease. Famous people may be able to control the power of public opinion , but it cannot be said that life is dead.

What Wang Wei is looking for is the feeling of being in control and controlling everything. For this purpose, he is extremely cautious, step by step, and strive to make no mistakes in every step.

Time gradually moved forward in this way, and during this period, Wang Wei also heard a news by chance, saying that if he wanted to make achievements in the imperial examination in the coming year, he could visit the influential Princess Yuzhen.

As soon as the news came out, those scholars who were interested in the imperial examination seemed like fish that smelled fishy, ​​and they wanted to go to Yuzhen Temple to visit Her Royal Highness through various channels, and those who had no connections had to go to the delivery line. Juan, thinking that with his talent, he could impress Her Highness the Princess.

In Taixue, this news is particularly accurate. Some shady scenes in the imperial examinations were vividly depicted, and some honest scholars were filled with righteous indignation. They felt that this was really absurd. How could they doubt the extremely fair imperial examinations? ?

For example, Cui Hao, who is upright and upright, angrily reprimanded the person who spread the news. Although he will not take the imperial examination in the coming year, in his mind, the imperial examination is a very sacred thing. How can there be so many shady scenes in the selection criteria?

Those who say that there are shady people are all conspiracy theorists, or else they are people without talent and virtue, who want to rely on their connections to rise to the top instead of their own real talents.

Lu Xiang, who has a good relationship with Cui Hao, naturally supports his friend's point of view. In fact, he knows more about the inside story than Cui Hao, but since he is not planning to conduct the imperial examination in the past few years, he will not pay too much attention to it. This kind of gossip, and his heart is also very high, so he won't bow his head to those powerful people.

Among Wang Wei, Wei Zhi, Cui Hao, and Lu Xiang, except for Wang Wei, the other three are still typical young people with temperament, full of passion, very pure and ideal literati.

Only Wang Wei can bend and stretch, but he also showed extraordinary stubbornness in this rumor. He scoffed at the news and ignored such rumors.

The three of Wei Zhi already knew that Wang Wei was going to take the imperial examination in the coming year. Seeing that his friend's character was so noble and he did not follow crooked ways, and Wang Wei's tall image made Wei Zhi and the three admire them. When they got together, they all wished Wang Wei Wei is bound to be a Jinshi next year.

After all, Wang Wei's advantages are still very obvious. First of all, his talent is enough to enable him to pass the provincial examination steadily, and then his reputation has already spread to Chang'an. Since it is an unambiguous examination, the officials who review papers must have heard of it. Wang Wei's reputation will definitely be very lenient for such a famous candidate.

The only shortcoming of Wang Wei is his connections. If he is talented, famous and has a recommendation letter from a big boss, then he must follow the rhythm of high school...

And at this time, the news that "visiting Princess Yuzhen can get a recommendation" just came out. It was too coincidental. It seemed that Wang Wei was sleepy and lacked a pillow. He won't take the bait easily.

Therefore, he was able to show a noble and upright character in front of his friends, and he would not take any crooked ways for the sake of the imperial examination, which made Wang Wei more respected by his friends.

In fact, as soon as Wang Wei heard the words "Princess Yuzhen", he subconsciously woke up, and regardless of whether the incomparably clear nightmare was real or not, many scholars knew that there was hope to pass through the path of Princess Yuzhen. During the provincial examination, if Wang Wei really visited Princess Yuzhen, there was even news that Princess Yuzhen admired Wang Wei very much.

It is conceivable that Wang Wei will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Perhaps at this time, because of Wang Wei's reputation, others will not say anything. Who made Wang Wei's reputation really big, and the few poems "Luoyang Daughter's Journey" that came out , "Red Peony", "Morning Spring" and so on are all excellent works with endless aftertaste.

However, if Wang Wei really became the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination as in his dream, some people will definitely think that all this is due to Princess Yuzhen, and countless scholars will be upset, why didn't they get Yuzhen by themselves? What about the princess' recommendation?It's all the fault of this Wang Mojie, who obviously already has such a great reputation, but still wants to rob other people's connections, it's really hateful!

No matter at what time, blocking someone's official career is a great hatred. Wang Wei has always believed that making a fortune in silence is the kingly way. If Princess Yuzhen's career is not known to everyone, he will still go As soon as he took this crooked way, but at this time the news was spreading all over the place, and he didn't want to compete with so many people.

Even if it is won, it will not be a good thing for Wang Wei's reputation. Now everyone knows that Wang Wei is a "righteous, ancient and warm-hearted chivalrous man". At this time, if there are rumors that "Wang Wei privately met Princess Yuzhen just to pass the provincial examination", it would really be a huge blow to Wang Wei's reputation...

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Wei resolutely abandoned this temptation.

In fact, the news about Princess Yuzhen can attract so many people. In addition to her beauty with the title of "the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty", it has nothing to do with her reputation of "pure and pure, and she is dedicated to Taoism". That Princess Jingyang is so romantic and tough, so not so many scholars would think about visiting her, only those who are really cold and unscrupulous would be willing.

When Wang Wei was indifferent, Qi Wang Li Fan abruptly invited Wang Wei to his palace to discuss poetry and fu. Wang Wei became more and more vigilant, and his dark psychology began to flare up again. It is guessed that this may be related to the news of Princess Yuzhen. So he declined the invitation of King Qi, and then announced in a high-profile manner in Taixue that he would take the imperial examination next year.

Many Taixue students have actually guessed that Wang Wei would do this. After all, he has built up his reputation too hard this year. With his superb talent, his poem name Chang'an is well known. I feel a little shocked. After all, Wang Weicai has only been studying in Taixue for two years, and he is only 17 years old this year. Although there is no age limit for the imperial examination, most students will not take the exam until they are 20 years old and have their crown ceremony.

Wang Wei's decision requires self-confidence and courage beyond ordinary people.
