This is the historical-era story of The Goose Herder.
Blurb:
Lou Zhi is a lonely, helpless goose herder who flees famine and arrives at Little Lotus Village, a place like a paradise on earth.
His days spent tending geese are peaceful and pleasant, but the village boys are always picking on him, especially the bully Erhu, who seems to live for tormenting him.
Erhu's older brother, Zou Lin, has been studious and well-mannered since childhood. Determined to become the top scholar and bring honor to his family, the proud sixteen-year-old meets his formidable rival at the village school: Bi Wanqiu, the landlord's young son.
Bi Wanqiu goes from being the dream boy of every boy in the village to the school's number-one troublemaker, leading his page Lou Zhi and the Zou brothers in a battle of wits.
And so the days fly by amid the school's chaotic rivalries.
There are also the steamy secrets of Teacher Du and a mysterious stranger, and the crown prince, traveling incognito to search for someone... Little Lotus Village seems to grow livelier by the day.
In a tranquil village, beside a boundless lotus pond, the laughter and bickering of four young men become woven into the passing years. Are they rivals or friends, lovers or brothers? Love that dares to persevere and yearning hidden deep in the heart both turn into the faint fragrance of lotus blossoms, drifting beneath the clear skies of Little Lotus Village...
The first few chapters may make it easy to pick the wrong ship. To prevent another disaster, let me make this clear in advance: the main pairing is Bi Wanqiu x Lou Zhi TAT. Please stop shipping the wrong couple...

Theme:
When someone talked about this article, they mentioned that Zou Lin bullied and mocked Lou Zhi in several places, and said angrily, "Speaking out hurtful words, although it is young and innocent, is not a pure-hearted child who will use it to trample others." "Whether a person's heart is evil or not cannot be changed, and it cannot be erased with childish words, and the demeanor is pure and upright. So what if you read more rigorous and upright books? To put it bluntly, it is just a tool to help the tyrants." "The little beast with the big hat on his pointed head can't stand the joke in the officialdom with a mountain like Cao Fenxie on his back. Whether he can achieve results depends on his own destiny. "
Although this person wrote it out of anger, I, who pays attention to Zou Lin, felt speechless even if I wanted to defend him. Probably because I felt the same way and wanted to write something for Zou Lin.
A student who is proud of his talent, arrogant and jealous of his equally talented classmates always reminds me of Gongsun Gongsun, the emerald green bamboo in Shaobao Yili. Gongsun has been polished from a dazzling pearl into a gentle jade. How will Zou Lin grow up?
In addition to having the aloofness and arrogance of both students, Zou Lin was not as good as Gongsun in his attitude towards learning. First, Gongsun was jealous of Bao Zheng, but he always knew how to convince others with reason. He could listen to Bao Zheng's opinions objectively and knew where he was lacking. In the end, he and Bao Zheng cherished each other. Zou Lin never reflected on himself in the face of cold treatment and difficulties. What I didn't learn well is that I just resented and felt depressed, and I couldn't even appreciate others. My eyes were raised to the sky, and the painstaking efforts of Du Fuzi and Xie Xiaofuzi were in vain. How to get rid of the paranoia of studying hard? Secondly, Gongsun never looks down on others' status and bullies the weak. Zou Lin bullied Lou Zhi when he was young, and never stopped despising Lou Zhi when he was older. These can always be explained by his youth and innocence. In the final analysis, he values reputation and status and lacks benevolence! Zou Lin can be filial to his parents and protect his brothers. Why can't he treat his classmates or Lou Zhi with kindness or normality?
When it comes to relationships, even though you have a physical relationship with Xie Feng, you still insist on being pretentious and pretentious. You are annoyed by Xie Feng's constant pestering and complacency, and you are always hanging on. Do you love or not love, do you love yourself or are you narcissistic? Probably because he enjoys the feeling of being flattered and supported by others, which inevitably seems childish, ridiculous and selfish.
(Although Xie Feng's attitude was not correct at first, it has nothing to do with what Zou Lin thinks. I always feel that the author is very contradictory in the portrayal of Zou Lin. The more psychological activities he has, the more petty he is, and the more arrogant he is, the more artificial. Is he innocent or selfish, arrogant or narcissistic?)
Zou Lin, who has so many shortcomings, entered the officialdom. He didn't know how to be considerate of others, didn't know how to make friends, and didn't know how to restrain his sharp edges. How could he be a good official? How to be a good official? He might have to go down a blind alley and get no sympathy from others. At most, he would get a "What a pity." If the prince let him hit the wall once in getting the Jinshi, maybe it would be a different fate. After all, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and there will be a long time to go through in the future. Even if he grows up slowly, he will swallow all the bitterness and sweetness with his teeth.
But the prince intervened and deliberately favored him, which inadvertently helped him make more enemies and made him fall worse in the future. Maybe in the prince's view, this was just a small trick to hone his qualifications and a small taste of playing hard to get, but this directly turned Zou Lin's life upside down.
This kind of attitude of "you can't escape from Grandpa's Wuzhishan" is very uncomfortable. I think Zou Lin is quite pitiful. He is originally covered in thorns, and people around him feel uncomfortable. They try to trick him behind his back to wake him up, but he can't see it alive. He can only make the thorns stand straighter, which makes others hate him even more. In the end, he is beaten to a bloody head. The prince saves the beauty and gives him some advice to hug her back. Whether he rubs or pinches her is up to people's wishes. In the end, he is just a chess piece.
The new pit has not been opened yet. I really like the author's writing style, and I also pay close attention to Zou Lin. I hope that the new pit can see Zou Lin's growth in the officialdom, and one day he will be able to untie the knot in his heart. Even if he is not attached to the protection of the prince, he can live with integrity, openness and ambition in the officialdom!
Mr. Dazou, I hope you grow up!
I'm looking forward to the story between the prince and Dazou, but I still disagree with the prince's secret operation. It's just a disguised slap in the face of Dazou. No matter how awkward and arrogant Dazou is, he doesn't need others to give him the top prize. Now other students are pointing fingers at him in private, fearing that it will be more difficult to find an official career in the future.
Am I the only one who thinks Wan Qiu is such a pity? Because I really like Bi Wanqiu, the eclectic, secular and spiritual protagonist. Of course I hope that Wan Qiu can get the best. It happened that he won the first prize of Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan, but he was short of the top prize, but he let the despicable prince give him his little lover. I simply feel uncomfortable. Then, I really dislike the couple Prince Edward and Zou Lin.
After watching the extra chapter, I realized that no wonder the prince had an inexplicable hostility toward Bi Wanqiu. That was because Zou Lin actually liked Bi Wanqiu.
Fortunately, Bi Wanqiu was focused on Lou Zhi, otherwise the prince would never let him go.
I like this article so much~~!!! I really like Bi Wanqiu and Lou Zhi~~!!
The author's writing style is very good and the style of the article is also detailed.
In fact, I really want to know what life will be like for the two of them after they become officials in late autumn. Lou Zhi also has to take exams. I wonder if he will also become an official...
It's such a pity that it ended like this...
Ouch~ I finally finished reading this article, give it a score, and celebrate with some flowers, hehe... The pairing of Wan Qiu and Lou Zhi is finally complete, so I wonder when the author plans to start updating the articles about Xie Feng and Crelin? ! My heart feels itchy...
Sir, when will Ni Lin publish the article? I see through the autumn water
Woohoo, I want to read Master's article! That should be the emperor, right?
It's over. I want to see Zou Lin and the prince. ↖(^ω^)↗, Come on, the original poster
Not bad, not bad~~ In fact, I really want to read the story of Du Fuzi~ That mysterious man~ Can you write it~?? O(∩_∩)O~
