Xu Que stepped into the courtyard and passed through a shady path. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he was amazed by the decoration of the courtyard!
The courtyard in front of him was very spacious. The ground was paved with pebbles, mainly in black and white. From afar, it looked like a giant ink painting had been placed on the ground.
The flowers and trees by the wall were full of vitality. After taking a few more steps, he gradually entered the deep courtyard. On both sides of the courtyard, there were flying buildings with carved balustrades and jade bricks, hidden between the trees.
The entire courtyard looked elegant and fresh, with an indescribable charm.
"Young master, this way please!" At the end of the path, there were a few female servants who stood to welcome guests. When they saw Xu Que, they took the initiative to lead the way.
"Hmm, this place is not bad. One look and I can tell that it is the residence of a scholar. It suits me very well!" Xu Que narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. He felt that he had been baptized by culture and his heart had become more holy!
The female student smiled politely, "Every single flower, every single blade of grass, every single grain of sand, and every single stone here were personally planted by Madam Ya. Many scholars have visited this place, and their thoughts and ideas have flowed like a spring, and they have created countless poems and poems. I believe young master must be feeling the same way right now?"
Xu Que nodded his head in agreement. "Not bad, not bad. Moreover, I feel like I am at home here. It is like swimming in the sea of knowledge. I can swim butterfly, breaststroke, freestyle, or even nude!"
The servant was stunned and confused. Swimming in the sea of knowledge … what?
She could not figure it out and was too embarrassed to ask further. She only felt that this gentle and handsome young master in front of her must be a very talented scholar.
"Young master, please follow me!" The servant smiled and continued to lead the way to a pavilion at the end of the path.
Xu Que nodded his head and followed. Feeling the elegant atmosphere around him, he could not help but hum a tune. "My hometown is in this settlement. I was born and raised here. Don't be fooled by the size of this settlement. There are mountains, rivers and forests …"
"…" The female attendant leading the way suddenly stopped in her tracks and almost stumbled to the ground.
What … what kind of tune was this? Why did it sound so out of place?
She smiled bitterly and turned around. "Young Master, we … we are not a settlement!"
"I know. I just can't suppress the source of my creativity. Hey, look at that waterfall over there. I'm inspired again …" Xu Que suddenly pointed at a rockery and a small waterfall at the northern end of the yard. He gathered his Qi in his Dantian and sang loudly, "The great river flows eastward! The stars in the sky are the Big Dipper … "
"Young Master, Young Master, stop singing …" The female attendant suddenly became anxious and interrupted Xu Que. She said in a low voice, "Young Master, you can't be loud here. You can save your inspiration for the banquet and share it with Lady Ya and other refined people."
"Oh? Can we sing at the banquet? "Xu Que's eyes lit up.
"Yes, after the banquet begins, the refined scholars will first share their poems. Then, they will spar with each other and match couplets. Finally, it will be the song segment!"
"I see!"
Xu Que nodded and smiled, but in his heart, he couldn't stop laughing. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can act tough again!
…
Soon, under the guidance of the attendant, Xu Que followed her to the attic.
Inside and outside the attic, beaded curtains were hanging down. When a gust of wind blew, the beaded curtains tinkled!
Behind the curtains was a large hall. There were already many scholars in the hall. All of them were sitting on futons and chatting happily!
When Xu Que appeared, everyone's eyes swept over him. Seeing that he was unfamiliar, they didn't pay much attention to him and continued to chat with their friends.
"Young Master, please do as you please!" The female attendant led him to the door and retreated.
Xu Que nodded and didn't care about the attitude of the crowd. After all, scholars despised each other!
After walking into the hall, he found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, more and more scholars came in and the hall became more lively.
However, those who came later knew that Xu Que had entered by challenging the questions. Moreover, the process wasn't very pleasant. Therefore, no one was willing to pay attention to him!
As for those who came in earlier, they felt that Xu Que looked unfamiliar. Furthermore, his attire didn't have any emblems of the academy on him. Therefore, they couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
Xu Que shook his head. Scholars despise each other!
After some time, Lady Ya personally led two elegant scholars into the hall. All the scholars in the hall were startled.
"The two great scholars are here!"
"Young Master Mo, Young Master Zhao, I've heard so much about you!"
"Today, it's my honor to be able to meet the two great scholars under the same hall!"
"I heard that Young Master Mo had just published a book of poems. Therefore, I went to buy it immediately. Now, I carry it with me everywhere I go. Every time I take it out to read, I've learned a lot!"
Almost all the scholars stood up and welcomed the two great scholars from Bright Saints College!
Xu Que's lips twitched.
"Fuck! What happened to the saying that scholars despise each other? You bunch of scum! When I saw you, I turned a blind eye to you. In the end, when these two came, you surrounded me and sucked up to me? You … You've really thrown away the face of scholars!
Alright! Today, you've ignored me. Tomorrow, I'll make sure that you can't even get close to me … Pei! It should be tomorrow, I'll make sure that all of you fight to memorize my poems.
Today, I, the Immortal of Poetry, will strive for 'Li Bai's Hundred Drinking Poems'. Then, I'll let your teachers add all of them to the f * * king compulsory course book and add the words' recite the whole text 'at the end … "
He cursed under his breath as he shook his head in disdain. He then sat back down and started drinking his tea.
At this point, a shadow walked over hurriedly and spoke excitedly, "Brother Li, we finally meet again!"
Xu Que glanced at the person who had walked over and noticed that it was Tang Liu Feng. He then asked blandly, "Tang Bo Hu, where did you run off to?"
Tang Liu Feng's face was filled with bitterness, "Brother Li, I'm not as ambitious as you are. I couldn't stand the scene just now. All I could do was run to the other side of the lake and pray for you."
"Pray for what? Don't tell me that I can't pass the test? "Xu Que's eyebrows twitched.
"Oh, hehe … I've underestimated brother Li's talent." Tang Liu Feng laughed dryly as he thought to himself, "I was afraid that you'd be beaten to death brother Li!"
"Sit down and have some tea!" Xu Que didn't mind it too much. He knew that Tang Liu Feng was weak by nature. It was normal that he wouldn't be able to withstand the rage of the crowd.
At this point, the two great students from Bright Saints College were welcomed into the hall.
Lady Ya smiled as she stood beside the two of them. Her gaze swept across the crowd before realizing that Xu Que was seated on a praying mat. He didn't seem to care about what was going on.
Her smile widened, and she was about to step forward to look for Xu Que.
At this point, young master Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Lady Ya, I wonder which one of you is Li Bai?"
Li Bai?
When everyone heard this, they were stumped.
Some of the students who had entered the hall earlier didn't know what had happened outside. Hence, they didn't know who Li Bai was.
When they heard young master Mo mention him, they were all astonished. To be called out by young master Mo was a great honor!
Lady Ya paused, "Could it be that young master Mo knows him?"
Young master Mo shook his head and laughed, "I don't know him. It's just that when I was outside, I heard that brother Li Bai had passed the test. Hence, I'd like to see for myself who he is!"
What? Someone passed the test?
The students who had entered the hall earlier had a look of shock on their faces.
