Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 273 Purple Clothes
Master Chaoxiong suddenly felt a little shy after hearing what the purple-clothed girl said. He mumbled something but couldn't utter a complete word.

Instead, Xia Lin sat there with a normal expression, drinking his wine, leaning against the fence and listening to the wind.

"Whenever someone praises me, I stand up and walk a few steps, and those people will politely decline and leave. But you are the only one who can say that."

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, lively and outgoing, with a quirky look that made it seem like she was not someone who was easy to deal with.

"Are you two here to attend this oath-taking ceremony as well?"

The purple-dressed girl came to Xia Lin with her hands behind her back and limped around twice: "I don't think so. You look more like someone who comes here to drink and he comes here to join in the fun."

After hearing what she said, Xia Lin became somewhat interested: "Then how did you figure that out?"

"Look at those people. They seem calm and composed, but they are always alert and forced to smile. This shows that they are panicking and have a lot of pain and distress in their hearts. But when you two came, you just wanted to see if the girl was pretty. If you were really students taking exams, you wouldn't care whether the girl was pretty or not."

She analyzed complacently, "Besides, all the big shots in the county are coming today. If they are taking the test, they will definitely make themselves known to the crowd. They are really indifferent to fame and gain. Who would come to such a place of wine and meat the night before leaving? Anyone who comes here will be reluctant to leave."

"What about you?" Xia Lin just raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are you here?"

"The restaurant belongs to me."

This sentence almost choked Xia Lin's wine out through his nostrils. He looked up and down at the purple-clothed girl and began to laugh.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh." The purple-clothed girl sat there with her head held high. "I just came here to join in the fun. I'm not bragging, but most of the people here are not as knowledgeable as I am."

Hearing her confidence, Xia Lin became interested: "How did you get that?"

"Not as good as they are. They are just reading books by heart. They don't have the agility that scholars should have. They answer questions when there are questions, but become dumb when there are no questions. If you don't believe it, go and ask them about being one with the light and dust. They can explain a lot to you. But if you ask them what it means to be one with the light and dust, they can only give you irrelevant answers."

The purple-clothed girl looked Xia Lin and the young master up and down, and suddenly turned to look at the young master: "Tell me, how should we be one with the light and dust?"

Master, Aba Aba Aba...

At this moment, the purple-clothed girl turned around and looked at Xia Lin again: "What do you think?"

"There are numerous ways to practice Taoism, and it is not limited to the process. You asked how, so I would like to ask you in return, what is your Taoism?"

"Haha!" The purple-clothed girl clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, you are trying to defeat me. I won't answer you. I have no moral principles and I don't seek moderation."

Xia Lin propped up his chin and said with a smile: "Then you are playing tricks, you can ask me, but you don't answer when I ask you."

"But you didn't answer either."

"I answered it. Isn't it the answer that there are thousands of ways? What you asked was to be one with the light and dust, but you didn't ask where the light was and where the dust was. This is a trap."

The purple-clothed girl looked Xia Lin up and down again: "I knew you were not an ordinary person. Okay! I'll remember you."

As they were talking, the county magistrate came over. He brought a group of officials with him and was immediately surrounded by the students who were going on a long journey tomorrow.

Naturally, he started to say some nice things, and no one noticed Xia Lin sitting in the corner.

"Why don't you go up and show your face to the county governor?"

The purple-dressed girl crossed her arms and said, "This is a great opportunity. Even if you are not a student, it is quite a feat to be remembered by the county governor."

"You care about a lot of things, little sister."

The purple-robed girl raised her head and said, "That's right, it's just a pity that women can't take the imperial examination, otherwise I would let you see the first female champion."

This girl Fran is really hot, and everything she says is extraordinary. Xia Lin found it interesting, so he propped up his chin and asked, "There are tens of thousands of talented people in the world, who do you like the most?"

"That's naturally Xia Daosheng from Jiangnan. I heard that he didn't have any achievements, but he rose to prominence all the way with his talent and knowledge. This is unique in the Wei Dynasty."

The purple-clothed sister's eyes sparkled as she spoke: "Next time if there is a chance, I will go to Fuliang to discuss Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the Hundred Schools of Thought with him!"

Xia Lin clapped his hands softly: "Very impressive, but I think Xia Daosheng is just a man seeking fame and reputation. He doesn't have such great ability. You will definitely be disappointed if you see him."

"What do you know? You can't compare to him like a firefly in rotten grass competing with the bright moon. You sour-smelling literati are just talking nonsense all day long. Open your eyes and look at the world. It's not easy to find a genius that hasn't appeared in hundreds of years. Don't sit in the well and watch the world."

have to……

This is a die-hard fan. Looking at her expression, if I say a few more words to her, I'm afraid she will get angry. She is probably the kind of fan who has collected a lot of information about Xia Lin and reads it over and over again.

But we can't just look at the data on paper. If you want to get to know someone, the most taboo thing is to have a halo. For example, Xia Lin likes Liu Yifei very much, but even so, he has to accept the setting that fairies have to put their hair up even when squatting in the toilet, and eating too much soybeans will also make you fart.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But I can't blame her, after all, she is just a 16 or 17-year-old child, it is normal for her to be a little fanatical.

"So what do you think is good about Xia Daosheng? I'd like to ask."

"Hahaha, you are just a frog in a well. If you ask around, you will know. Not to mention his poetry and lyrics, his political achievements alone are already brilliant. If you have time, go to Fuliang and take a look. He built it all by himself."

When she was excited, the purple-clothed sister spoke loudly, even attracting the county governor's attention: "Ning'er, speak softly. Daddy is talking to the students, don't make any noise."

"I know, Daddy. There is an unreasonable person who slandered Xia Daosheng!"

She pointed, and Xia Lin immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. The county magistrate looked in the direction of her finger, and after a while he felt his eyes were blurry, so he took two steps forward. When he saw the person his daughter was pointing at, he tilted his head to give Xia Lin a fatal glance.

"Well, let him talk... Stop making a fuss."

Then the county magistrate returned to his previous position and chatted with the students, telling them some things they should pay attention to.

Xia Lin raised his head and asked, "Hey? You are the daughter of the county governor? Do you have a brother in Ehu Academy?"

"How do you know?" The purple-clothed girl frowned and said, "Oh!!! So you also want to curry favor with the powerful, right?"

"That's not the case. I just took classes at Ehu Academy for a while."

"You?" The purple-clothed girl's eyes widened. "You are taking classes at Ehu Academy? Do you know Xia Daosheng?"

How should Xia Lin answer... After thinking it over, he could only nod and shake his head: "Not too familiar, just an acquaintance. Haven't you met him?"

"No... I was supposed to go with my brother when I enrolled this year. I wanted to meet him, but after I went there, I found out that he led his troops to Guangzhou to quell the rebellion." The purple-clothed girl sighed, "Alas... I missed the opportunity. Let me tell you, although I have never met him, all my knowledge comes from him. After all, I am Xia Daosheng's disciple."

Xia Lin crossed his legs and thought to himself, "I don't even know you. I just found out about you today."

"Oh? You've never met him but you're his disciple?"

"That's right, because I read my brother's notes carefully every year. He also has special textbooks. Xia Daosheng is amazing."

Stop praising me! Please, stop praising me! It's really embarrassing to praise me any more...

"Alright, alright." Xia Lin raised his hand and said, "That's it. There's no point in praising him anymore. If you really think he's amazing, then show me what you've learned from Xia Daosheng."

The purple-robed girl sneered, her face full of pride: "I have my own intention!"

After saying that, she limped over, leaving Xia Lin and the young master sitting there.

The young master had nothing to say. His level was not up to par yet. Just now, when Zi Yi was chatting with Xia Lin, he was eating fruit the whole time. Now that they had left, he spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, is that Xia Daosheng really that powerful? Can he be as powerful as you?"

"almost."

"Oh..." The young master said with a tut-tut sound: "That's pretty impressive."

Hey, this is the standard answer that is lovable. It is said that sometimes being ignorant can be cute.

At this moment, the county magistrate had finished his pre-match consolation, and it was time for the students to perform. The girl in purple took the stage now.

In order to prove that she had learned something real, she would go up to debate with everyone she met, and for a moment everyone's attention was focused on her.

There is a special debate session in Ehu Academy, but it cannot be called a debate but rather a discussion of Taoism.

This was specially designed to deal with the tricky oral questions in the palace examination, and the little sister in purple obviously likes to study this aspect the most.

This was argumentative in a way, but no one could argue with her. What was even more exaggerated was that she had obviously carefully studied every poem that Xia Lin had copied, and then extracted and meditated out the rules and methods therein. After a debate, she even used that method to pass judgment on others.

This is really because her father is the county magistrate, otherwise it would not be unfair for her to be beaten. The people here have to take an exam tomorrow, and she went up and beat them up to mess with their mentality.

You don't care about your rank as a student of Xiaoxiang, right? Anyway, you don't even care about your fellow countrymen for the sake of your idol, right?

Xia Lin sat there and watched for a while, then he stood up with his sleeves swung: "No, no, this won't do."

He got up, and the young master got up too, even though he still had a piece of bread in his mouth: "What are you going to do?"

"Kill her prestige."
