Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 251

Although the Jiangnan scholars were a little jealous of the people in Beijing, or Cui Han, once they got rid of the jealousy, they were all talented and knowledgeable people with broad horizons and profound learning. Zhu Yunming was even more skilled in calligraphy and poetry. Because he had branch fingers on his hands, he called himself Zhishan. He was a very open-minded person.

After listening to a poem titled "Song of Wang Youcheng's Authentic Landscape Paintings" written after he viewed Wang Wei's authentic paintings, Wang Shouren was particularly impressed by the lines in the poem "The moving clouds are palely reflected on the desolate water, as if there is a setting sun bringing slight warmth", and deeply loved its leisurely, remote and quiet charm.

This is truly a hermit's poem, which washes away the bad air in his heart from reading too many imitation ancient poems sent by Ryan Cui!

These days, the Hanlin Academy finished compiling the Veritable Records and the Crown Prince was enthroned in the East Palace. Scholar Li forced Ryan Cui to learn to write ancient poetry. However, the poems written by Ryan Cui...no one in the capital was interested in reading them, so Ryan Cui sent them to Wang Shouren continuously, waiting for him to reply with poems.

Saint Wang did not understand his mentality of waiting for himself to become a saint and to be famous for the titles of his poems "Answer Cui Shijiang", "Answer Cui Hanlin" and "Thoughts on Reading Yue Gu Yangsheng Lu", so after reading too many poems by Cui, he felt physically tired and could not write any good poems in response. Now that he met a real talent and read a few refreshing poems, he also had a lot of ideas and sang a few new poems with Zhu Yunming and others.
