"Big brother, big brother. Wen Tingkai held a piece of rice paper in his hand and shouted as he ran.

"Big brother, look. ”

Chu Yi took the rice paper, and a seven-character poem was written on it: "King Teng's high pavilion is in Jiangzhu, and Peiyu sings and dances." The painting building flies to the south of the clouds, and the bead curtain rolls up in the west mountain rain at dusk. The shadow of Xianyuntan is long, and the stars change a few degrees of autumn. Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, the Yangtze River outside the threshold * artesian. (Wang Bo's preface to King Teng's Pavilion)

"Why is there one word missing, and you wrote this poem?" Chu Yi asked in surprise.

Wen Tingkai said excitedly: "Big brother, this poem was not written by me, it was written by a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Good poetry, really good poetry. ”

Chu Yi stared at the empty word, his brows furrowed slightly, "Where is this person?"

Wen Tingkai said: "This will be in the academy. However, the boy said that he would leave the academy if he said that he would not be able to do so. ”

Jing Wuming took the rice paper, looked at it, and praised: "It is indeed a good poem." In terms of talent, it's no worse than Brother Wen. ”

Wen Tingkai was embarrassed: "Brother Jing laughed. Where can I write such a good sentence at this age? ”

Chu Yi was curious: "Do you have an answer to this vacancy?"

Jing Wuming pondered: "What about the word 'independence'? The Yangtze River flows alone. ”

Wen Tingkai shook his head and said: "This poem is on the que, 'Linjiang Zhu' is pointed, 'Song and Dance' is meaningful, 'Nanpu Cloud' and 'Xishan Rain' are lonely and lonely. Xiaque, "idle clouds", "things change stars", is the time flies, try to ask 'where is now', only the river passes away, a "alone" word can not express this poetic conception. ”

Jing Wuming nodded in agreement: "Then Brother Wen's opinion?"

Wen Tingkai said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to use the word 'water', but I still can't set off this poetic mood. ”

Chu Yi saw the two of them meditating hard, and said with a smile: "The answer is right in front of you, why bother guessing." By the way, what's the name of this kid?"

Wen Tingkai was quite embarrassed: "Big brother, this son's name is Xu Bo, he has an arrogant temperament, and he has a lot of money, is it really going to give it to him?"

Anything that money can solve, that's not a thing.

Chu Yi laughed and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been so lustful, and people are not romantic teenagers. Talent leads to temperament. A word of gold, what, give it to him. ”

Wen Tingkai didn't want him to say anything, so he was convinced: "Big brother, you have a true temperament." ”

So, Chu Yi ordered someone to prepare a thousand taels of silver, and brought Wen Tingkai, Jing Wuming and others to the hall.

In the hall, a thin, gray, patched boy was standing.

Liu Decai saw Chu Yi walk in, hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "Childe." ”

Chu Yi asked, "Is that him?"

Liu Decai nodded and said, "It's this person." ”

Xu Bo looked at Chu Yi and said without humility or arrogance: "You are the dean?"

Chu Yi said: "I am." ”

"That's just right. How's that?"

Chu Yi made a gesture, and the subordinate immediately put a thousand taels of silver in front of the table, and said with a smile: "The money is here." What should we do with that empty space?"

Xu Bo's eyes lit up, staring at the silver and swallowing a few times. Seriously, I've never seen so many silver taels when I'm so big.

Xu Bo settled down and said confidently: "The empty one, the empty one." Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, and the Yangtze River is empty outside the threshold. ”

"Wonderful! The word 'empty' has the artistic conception of vicissitudes of life and things. Wen Tingkai was full of praise.

"A thousand words, worthy of the world's talents. Good, very good. Chu Yi said excitedly.

Chu Yi picked up the silver taels, sent them to him, and said with a smile: "The money belongs to you." ”

Xu Bo couldn't believe it: "Really give it to me?"

Chu Yi said: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. But I have one more condition?"

Xu Bo asked, "What conditions?"

Chu Yi said: "I want to make a gentleman's agreement with you." From now on, you can only be a member of my Yanling Academy. ”

Xu Bo looked at the young dean, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay!"

Chu Yi laughed and said, "I will ask the mountain chief to arrange someone to send it to your home, and you can study hard in the academy with peace of mind." Next, there's one more big thing for you to do. ”

Xu Bo was puzzled: "Big deal, what's the big deal?"

Chu Yi looked at Liu Decai and said, "Uncle Liu, Xu Bo will be handed over to you." Whether our academy can break through the siege or not is up to you. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will not disgrace my life. ”

Xu Bo's stand out just solves the problem of participating in the student group. However, it is not known whether Xu Bo can participate in the competition of poetry and scripture.

But no matter what, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Chu Yi still has to select three people to participate in the remaining three competitions, and the most headache for him is swordsmanship.

The level of swordsmanship depends on talent and time. Thinking about Ling Hu Chong in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he learned the Dugu Nine Swords taught by Feng Qingyang overnight, how can such a martial arts wizard be so easy to meet.

The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed.

Sad, really sad.

In the past few days, Liu Decai took Song Ping to run back and forth between the academy and the government. Song Ping was originally not interested, but gradually accepted it under Liu Decai's persuasion.

In addition, his father's heartfelt words to him also touched him a little, and his prejudice against Chu Yi gradually dissolved in what he saw and heard.

On the side of the academy, the six branch mountain chiefs have no trace except for the sword and dust, and the other five people are selecting good seedlings from these more than 100 students day and night.

In addition to practicing, Chu Yi sat on the edge of the lotus pond, blowing the wind, drinking wine, thinking about people, and reciting the song: The shadow of Xianyuntan is long, and things change and the stars move a few degrees in autumn. Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, and the Yangtze River is empty outside the threshold.

"Big brother. ”

Yuhuan walked up to him lightly and shouted.

Chu Yi looked up and saw that her face was slightly tired, so he knew that she had been really hard in the past few days, and said with pity: "Little sister has worked hard these days." ”

Yuhuan smiled lightly: "Big brother, I'm not hard. ”

"Big brother, are you thinking about Sister Ling?"

Chu Yi stared at the surface of the water and said softly: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side! Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. (The Book of Songs)

Yuhuan Fang's heart trembled slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "I really envy Sister Ling." ”

Chu Yi sighed lightly: "Little sister, Brother Jian is infatuated with you, why not..."

"Big brother, I treat Engong like a brother, and I have no other meaning. Yuhuan interrupted her and hurriedly explained.

Chu Yi smiled bitterly a few times and did not speak. In this world, the most elusive thing is the relationship between men and women, which is inexplicable.

Sometimes, I obviously like each other very much, but no one is willing to speak, so I spend it in guess and I want to spend it, missing opportunities again and again.

"By the way, big brother, I've found someone to participate in the talent competition. Now, I'm training at Yueniang's side. A few days later, I asked Yueniang to send it over, and I taught it myself. ”

Chu Yixi said: "Great." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw an additional white figure in the pavilion, which was the sword Wuchen who had disappeared for many days.

"Brother Jian, before you leave next time, can you say hello?" Chu Yi turned his head to look and complained slightly.

Jian Wuchen's gaze fell on Yuhuan, his face was originally as cold as frost, and in an instant, spring was full of gardens.

"Brother Jian, you are sexist!"

Jian Wuchen said coldly: "You are free." ”

Chu Yi thought to himself, can you chat, but a smile appeared on his face, after all, the swordsmanship competition still depends on him.

"I brought it to you, do you want it?" Jian Wuchen suddenly said this, which immediately stunned Chu Yi.

"People, who?"

As soon as Chu Yi spoke, he suddenly realized what that person meant.

"I'll just say, Brother Jian cares about the academy, how can he be the kind of person who stands by and watches. I'll see the mountain chief later, and I'll have to talk about him. ”

Yuhuan laughed out loud, which in Jian Wuchen's eyes, it was like a blooming flower, and it was also beautiful.

"Brother Jian, where did you find it?" asked Chu Yi.

Jian Wuchen didn't bother to take care of him.

Chu Yi was cheeky, poured wine for Jian Wuchen, and handed it over: "People are in good spirits when they are happy. Brother Jian, let's have two drinks. ”

Jian Wuchen took the wine glass, looked at the reflection in the glass, and drank it all on his back.

Then, turn around and leave.

The figure is extremely chic.

"The noble son of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the air covers the clouds. The red mansion reclines on the curve, and the cold jade is condensed in front of the stream. My brother-in-law is like this, what more can my husband ask for?" Chu Yi said with emotion.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Yuhuan's eyes lit up when he heard the first four lines of poetry. Immediately, when I heard 'brother-in-law is like this', I lost my smile.

"Little sister, many things pay attention to a fateful word. There is a way, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and there is no chance to meet on the other side. Eventually, there will come a time when it will come to pass. ”

Yuhuan's feelings for him, how could he not know.

For her, she is only a brother and sister, and there is no love between men and women, and some are just the envy of the first glimpse, and that is just out of the instinct of yearning for beautiful things.

Or, when she didn't meet Ling Yan, how could such a beautiful woman give up easily?

This is a small tug in his heart as a man.

Can't say, can't say.

Three days later, the College Chamber.

In the center of the hall, two men and a woman stood. The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.

In the middle is Xu Bo, the boy on his right hand is called Xu Zhong, and the girl on his left is called Dai Yu.

Liu Decai was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Childe, after these days of careful teaching, the three of them will represent the academy to participate in the student group competition. Xu Bo participated in poetry and scripture, Xu Zhong participated in swordsmanship, and Dai Yu participated in talent. ”

Chu Yi looked at the three of them carefully, Xu Bo changed into white clothes, polite, full of bookishness, and quite a merry boy.

Xu Zhong was dressed in green clothes, and his expression could not be seen changing, giving people a kind of indifference that refused for thousands of miles, and he really had the potential to be a killer.

Dai Yu, when I first heard this name, the first thing I thought of was Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions": two bends seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes seem to be happy but not happy; When it is quiet, it is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Dai Yu is not comparable to her, the only difference is that Dai Yu is thin and weak, but he is healthy. In time, it will inevitably fall like a flower like a jade, as beautiful as a fairy, and become a great beauty like a jade ring.

As soon as he thought of this, Chu Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After the careful training of Yueniang and others, Dai Yu already has some understanding of the expressions and thoughts shown by his man.

Therefore, when Chu Yi's blazing gaze landed on her, Dai Yufang's heart trembled slightly, her pretty face flushed, her face was shy, she lowered her head, and she didn't dare to face it.

After she entered the academy, she heard that the dean of the academy was the little marquis of Chu Mansion, who was talented, magnificent, and a beautiful young man.

Then for a few days in the Jade Fang, I heard other sisters say that the little marquis politely refused to be the guest of Sister Yuhuan, and respected her, and was an extremely rare upright gentleman.

These heard-outs made her curious about the young dean. Seeing each other today is exactly as they said. And the blazing gaze that just fell on her made her vaguely have more thoughts and expectations.
