At the end of last year, a very young sage appeared in Heijokyo. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info shocked the scholars with their amazing knowledge above the court, and was even rated as a figure similar to the Chinese saint Confucius and Sima Qian, the saint of the ancient orient.

But in the end, this person refused the title of His Majesty, and did not want to live on top of the temple, but only wanted to find a temple house to teach and educate people.

As soon as the construction of the new Jinzhong Temple in Heijokyo was completed, His Majesty the Emperor personally set up a temple house for him and hired him to teach there.

This was not a big deal, but the young sage did not follow common sense and made a strict definition for his temple house.

As the first temple house in Heijo Kyochu, you need to pass the entrance exam to enter, and the admission conditions are checked by him himself, even the imperial relatives will not be accommodating, and for a time there is a momentum of the first school in Nara.

Probably because this teacher named Kami-Shirasawa Huiyin treats all children equally, it makes the temple places in the temple house of Admiralty Temple hot. This teacher himself is a capable person, coupled with the mentality of the nobles to compare with each other, since the winter there have been many nobles and daimyos, so that their own children and grandchildren study hard at home to prepare for this entrance exam.

On the day of the big exam, many elders personally sent their children to the temple house, which was quite like some important exams related to the second half of their lives in later generations.

Teacher Huiyin, who is the chief examiner and the only invigilator, walked out of the temple house after taking a stick of incense at the beginning of the exam. This year is no better than the later generations, most of the children are simple by nature, plus she has enough confidence in her own questions, and she is not worried that anyone will deliberately cheat and the like, so she simply left the examination room so that the temples can easily answer.

Outside the temple, he saw a familiar face, frowned, and then changed his smile and stepped forward.

"Lord Penglai Mountain, I'm really looking forward to it. Huiyin smiled and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.

This man is Mo Ming, who has changed his appearance a little and made his face look a little old.

Mo Ming felt bitter in her heart, but Mo Ming didn't say it.

The saying that money can make ghosts grind can be said to be applicable everywhere, and there is a policy of saving money to declare the throne, and you don't need to go through too many processes if you want to donate an official title.

The only problem is his name, Mo Ming's katakana name is なめ, and just looking at the word なめ, it is pronounced as "namei", and people here will only see this as a name, and he needs to register to enter the court, so he needs an official surname.

There is no way to do this kind of embarrassing thing, Mo Ming, who has always been good, also followed the customs, considering that he is not from this world, he casually gave himself the surname "Penglai Mountain", which means that he comes from a distant and ethereal land.

Of course, no matter how good this kind of surname is, the "Yale Xiaoyun" he donated from the seven high-grade people is also a civil official with no real power, and there is no need to mention it. The main thing is that the ability to study for his relatives is finally there.

But he never considered sending those children to study in this temple house from the beginning, for a simple reason...... The children in those villages had only learned a few katakana skins and could not pass the entrance exam, which required them to answer on a paper.

But what is surprising is that this teacher actually visited Mo Ming's mansion in person before the start of the exam, and personally sent him a request - if there are children and nephews in the family who need to study, please be sure to send them to the temple house of Admiralty Temple to study.

Mo Ming didn't know if the teacher named Huiyin had visited like this door-to-door, but since she had personally come to the door to send out invitations, of course she was willing to let those children go and give it a try.

In case, those village children were selected as temple recruits, and most of them would be valued as talents because of the teacher's gold-lettered signboard, which could be regarded as a fulfillment of the old man Sanuki Zomaro's request to him before his death.

He rushed back to the village overnight to let a few children pack up and come to Pingchengjing, and he has been reviewing poetry books in his house for the past few days, but these children did not pay much attention to the words he taught at first.

Even though Mo Ming and Kaguya teach words together, the writing by a few children is still crooked and difficult to read. This level of review is sent to the exam, unless this Huiyin teacher is just going through the motions, if she is a little serious about eliminating a group of children, then her own few will definitely not be able to run.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Mo Ming, who was waiting outside the temple house, was very haggard in her heart.

At this time, seeing Teacher Huiyin coming, Mo Ming had to smile bitterly and sigh:

"What's the use of looking forward to it, your own children are not angry......"

"The concubine heard that there is a child named He Yingji in the adult's mansion, who is smart and clever, I don't know why I didn't send her this time?"

"You said Kaguya?" Mo Ming frowned, "I can't control her......"

Speaking of Hui Ye, Mo Ming is a big one.

At the beginning, the child stayed at home all day, and Mo Ming would occasionally persuade her to take a walk more and exercise her body.

One day after that, Kaguya went out of the city alone after lunch, and was amazed by his beauty along the way, but she ignored the middle-aged nobles of the clan who came with her or the frivolous young talents.

A group of people followed her and watched her return to Mo Ming's mansion.

Since then, Mo Ming has finally appreciated how boring people in this era are...... The things that are exaggerated in literature are real here. After that day, there were daily visitors in the mansion, and in the end, Mo Ming was able to relax for a while only by saying that he was sick.

Of course, he won't admit that he underestimated the effect of Kaguya's beauty when he was killed. When he said this, he would definitely be sneered at by his own girl again.

Some time ago, Saibe Akita of the Ministry of Officials came to Mo Ming's Mansion to confer his official title and record it, and met a beautiful girl whose name he had met at the beginning but did not know her name - Kaguya who was reading in the pavilion.

I have to say that a man's love for beauty is a wonderful state of mind.

The old man Saibe Akita, who is nearly sixty years old, was shocked by Kaguya's appearance, but felt sad because "I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born". However, the mentality of wanting to keep good things for oneself is with you throughout your life and does not deteriorate with age. Even if you can't, you may settle for the next best thing – if you can make some connections with beautiful things.

Saibe Akita asked the name of the girl in the pavilion of Mo Mingna, and the answer was "Kaguya".

Da Confucian's eyes naturally looked down on Mo Ming, a small official who bought officials, and at this time, it naturally included the name he gave, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then it will be called He Yingji, which can be regarded as the same as the one you took for Kaguya." ”

Just like that, he gave Kaguya a name, which made Mo Ming really dumbfounded.

After all, there are several levels of official university, Mo Ming casually fooled around, but who knew that this old guy went out and went around to announce that the woman who went out of the city was named He Yingji. As soon as it was passed on, He Yingji's name became known all over the city in an instant.

After a farce, Mo Ming was so big that he didn't dare to mention the matter of letting Kaguya go out for a walk. It's better to say...... If Kaguya took the initiative to go out, he would stop him if it didn't make sense.

At this time, He Yingji's name came from the mouth of Teacher Huiyin, which made Mo Ming have some doubts.

The next words deepened his doubts.

"If Lord Penglai Mountain is willing to let He Yingji in the palace study in the temple house of the concubine, I can also promise you to let the relatives of these Excellencies who took this exam guarantee to let them study. ”

In this way, it completely became a transaction, and instantly made this rumored sage-like figure collapse in Mo Ming's eyes.

Kaguya is regarded as a family by Mo Ming, and letting the children in the village study is just a promised entrustment, and with his character, he will naturally not sacrifice Kaguya's interests to achieve his goals.

But none of this matters, the question is......

"Even if you say that, I can't force Kaguya to do what she doesn't want to do," Mo Ming frowned, "Then why does Teacher Huiyin want her to come to study with you so much?

When Bai Zehuiyin heard this, he said solemnly: "As an elder, you must have the majesty of an elder, spoiling that child like you will only make her talent annihilated, and finally become a mediocre person!"

"Although I also think that this child is indeed very talented, but how do you know that, Teacher Huiyin, how do you know that she will become mediocre because of spoiling?"

I didn't feel strange because this teacher upheld the concept of "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", after all, this teacher himself is also a woman, not to mention that Emperor Huangji a few years ago was also a woman, perhaps because of this, the concept of preference for sons is not very serious in today's court.

Teacher Huiyin was stunned when she heard this, and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, it's the concubine who is serious." But there is a way for the concubine to know...... No, the concubine can conclude that He Yingji will do something in the future, even if she is a woman, the concubine is confident that she will become a pillar of the country. ”

"Tsk, the pillar of the country......" Mo Ming smacked his tongue.

Regarding the fact that the Lord Penglai Mountain of "Yale Xiaoyun" in front of him was actually an official who was bought, Huiyin knew it in his heart. She didn't mind what the other party's background was, but seeing that this adult was obviously not well-educated and didn't pay much attention to what she said, Bai Ze was a little anxious.

Hui Yin said in a low voice: "If He Yingji is willing to come here to study, the concubine can give her the same heirloom treasure." ”

"What's it?" Mo Ming's eyes lit up.

"I can't say it, I can only say that I know it with He Yingji alone. ”

Mo Ming scratched his head: "The more mysterious you are, the more unlikely I will be able to let Kaguya come here, you obviously have a plan like this......"

"The concubine's body is only for the peace of the country and the people. ”

"With such a heavy burden, my family Kaguya can't afford to carry it. ”

"Whether you can afford to pick it or not, it's her decision, not you," the Lord of Penglai Mountain in front of him obviously wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, he was just a philistine face, Huiyin couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said bluntly, "Say, how are you going to let He Yingji come here to study?"

"Hmm...... How about 100,000 guan?" Seeing that the teacher's anger was about to explode, Mo Ming hurriedly stopped joking, "Kaguya's matter, I don't want to force her, if you are thirsty for talent, why don't you go and convince her personally?"

Then it was decided, and the concubine would visit the house tomorrow. ”

"Uh......" I didn't expect this teacher to say that the wind is the rain, Mo Ming was a little surprised, but she couldn't help it, so she had to say, "Then what I said before, if Kazuya goes to school, how many other children?"

"It is also regarded as a temple, and there is no difference in teaching and learning. Huiyin said coldly.

"Hmm...... That...... So be it for now. It seemed that she was completely despised, and Mo Ming was a little embarrassed.

After thinking about it, after all, it was about Kaguya, so he didn't plan to wait for a few children to finish the exam, so he turned around and walked home.

......

......

The first thing I do when I get home is to wash my face.

The matter of transfiguration has been a habit that has lasted for a long time, and it was because he was afraid of being affected by the big monster and deliberately took care of his face to be older, so that he could escape and ascend to heaven once the incident happened, and then there was the matter of He Yingji, Mo Ming, as Kaguya's father, naturally can't always look like he is twenty-three or fourteen years old, otherwise it may be believed that it is a brother and sister, and it will only lead to suspicion if it is said that the father and daughter will only lead to suspicion.

Kaguya is very unimpressed with this, whether it is a brother or sister, a father or a daughter, it is not a problem, only the things that have changed her due to outside interference make her feel dissatisfied.

But this is Mo Ming's choice after all, and she can't say more, although this guy does things forward, but when he thinks about it, he has no flaws, so he is indeed a reliable person.

Seeing that Mo Ming came to the study alone, he wondered, "What about the children?"

"It's still exams, and it's probably going to be over in an hour. ”

"You're back alone, are you so relieved?"

"How can you rest assured, we all know how many catties and taels those guys have," Mo Ming sighed, "But there are things that are not at ease." ”

"What else is going on?"

"Hey, that Huiyin teacher from the temple house, I don't know where I heard about you......"

"Private? Huiyin...... It's a woman, isn't it?"

"Eh, yes, that's right, she caught you and praised you, I'm just inexplicable......"

"Why is that?"

"How do I know...... It's said that there are few unparalleled geniuses in heaven and earth, so I have to recruit you to study in the temple house. ”

"It doesn't seem like a compliment to me personally, but it's ...... I don't know what to do. ”

"Said that for the sake of the world, a talent like you is needed, but I don't think she is at ease. ”

"Oh?" Kaguya looked at Mo Ming's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Why?"

She said...... As long as you are willing to go to the temple house, I am willing to give you a treasure in exchange...... I never believed in that, there must be something wrong. ”

"It's really arbitrary. ”

"Not exactly, you see what she said...... I only want the peace of the country and the people...... Since moving the capital to Pingchengjing, the wind and rain have been smooth, no matter how you think about it, I feel that there is a ghost ...... what she is trying to do."

"The prince of the sea people who has been missing for two years, and the traitor Su I clan who was slaughtered, it seems that they have become the dust of history, but ......" Kaguya smiled slightly, unfolding the stack of bamboo slips placed on the table, "Those who have a heart should have discovered that there is an undercurrent surging in this capital. ”

Mo Ming knew that what was on the table was not a confidential case, but the decrees issued by the Son of Heaven and the current affairs of the nobles, all of which could be bought on the market, and to see things that ordinary people could not see, it really took good political wisdom and talent.

This is what Mo Ming is worried about.

Looking at Mo Ming, who was sitting there, thinking hard, Kaguya couldn't help but get up and walk up to him, soothe his frowning brows, and said softly:

"Everyone in the world has their own way of living, the art of the emperor, the way of officialdom, you don't understand, you don't have to worry about it, no matter whether Teacher Huiyin has a plan or not, will it be possible to get into the way of selfishness?"

Mo Ming sighed.

He couldn't tell Kaguya that his worries were the exact opposite of what Kaguya had thought.

It's not that I'm afraid that Huiyin has a plan, but I'm afraid that she has nothing.

Mo Ming looked at Kaguya's beautiful face in front of him, pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "What if...... Teacher Huiyin is really a fist, I hope you can learn from her, and dedicate your life to help the world in the future, what will you do?"

Kaguya blinked.

There had been a discussion about this between the two of them, and at this moment she seemed to understand Mo Ming's anxiety a little.

"If you agree to go to the temple house with her to study, will you be reluctant to be private?" Kaguya teased with a smile.

"It's not this problem...... Mo Ming shook her head, "I see that you often read these decrees and texts, and you seem to be quite interested in the world's major affairs, but these things, as a bystander, are completely different from really participating in them." It doesn't matter what your purpose is, whether it's for fun, or if you want to make a difference, or if you want to help the world, or if you want to ...... For some ulterior purpose, politics has always been a muddy water, and if you want to stir it, you have to stain yourself. ”

"No, that's the question, ignoring the focus is on you and not selfishness," Kaguya still smiled, "Whether you are reluctant to be selfish, this answer is very important." ”

Mo Ming thought for a moment and nodded.

"In every sense, first of all, I have no relatives here, and the only existence that I regard as relatives will leave, if not impossible to meet, but I will be reluctant. ”

"Secondly, I don't have any sense of belonging to this court, I thank it for keeping me alive, but I won't give anything to it, and likewise, if my loved ones do it, I will feel that it is not worth it. ”

"The main thing, although I am a little reluctant to admit it, Kaguya is really like a celestial at times, and even gives me a feeling of being unapproachable. Such a child like a pearl has to be dusted by these messy things in the court, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”

Kaguya was silent for a moment.

"Oh, it turns out that I gave you that feeling. ”

"So what about your answer?"

"Originally, I didn't have any interest in it, but after listening to your words, I suddenly felt that it seemed like a good choice to make you worry. ”

"What......"

"Just kidding," Kaguya smiled and stretched out his hands, poked his fingers at the corners of Mo Ming's mouth, and pulled out an ugly smile, "Private won't leave, Private is so beautiful, if you go to the temple house, it won't become a downtown area?"

Mo Ming scratched his head: "Because this kind of thing is conceited, sooner or later it will have to suffer." ”

"Are you or is it selfishness that suffers?"

"Well, it's me, count me underestimating the color hearts of these salted fish. As a result, a lot of things are really enough for him to drink a pot, and he feels a headache when he mentions it.

"Salted fish, poof...... Haha, what a figurative metaphor," Kaguya laughed out loud, "Speaking of which, you don't have any experience at all, but you always talk about it with a straight face." Political affairs or something, in fact, are not as unbearable as you say. ”

"One or two places, they all treat me as a hillbilly and think I don't know," Mo Ming sighed helplessly, "Tell you, in fact, I was the head of a country in my last life." ”

Kaguya laughed out of strength.

This joke seems to be quite effective, and Mo Ming is very satisfied.

......

......

At dawn on the second day, only three or two pedestrians were seen on Pingchengjing Street.

Shang Bai Ze Huiyin wore a hat on his head and appeared on the street in the clothes of ordinary people. With a rectangular cloth bag tied behind her, she slowly walked through the street before stopping outside a courtyard.

Unwrap your body and open the sword case.

A burst of light rose into the sky and then immediately annihilated, without attracting anyone's attention. Huiyin held back her excitement and closed the sword box with an expressionless face, wrapping it in cloth again.

Immediately, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Huiyin, who was overly frightened, let out a "ah", turned around and saw that familiar face, the wind and the fragrance, suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost.

"Is that you?"

"It's me. ”

"Why are you in this place at this time?"

"Before leaving," the big monster laughed, "Speaking of which, I should ask you this, right?"

"I'm here for this family. Huiyin replied.

Kazami Yuka followed her gaze towards the courtyard.

"Before, thanks to Youxiang, you asked me about the background of the girl in this family, and now everything has been kept open and the moon is clear. ”

Yuka tilted her head, "What do you mean? Is there anything wrong with that kid from the moon?"

Huiyin nodded.

"Remember why I'm here?"

"Isn't it your Bai Ze's mission or something......

"Exactly," Kamibai Ze Huiyin nodded, looking at the sky above this courtyard, "As the royal family of the Moon Clan, there is also the Kusanagi Sword Soaring Sword as evidence......"

"The one I seek...... The person who will open peace for all generations seems to be in sight. ”

"Hah...... It seems to be getting interesting when I say that," Kazami Yuka squinted and smiled, "...... I suddenly felt that it was a good choice to stay and watch the show. ”
