Lu Shuo led the four of them into the room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The little guy served tea, and several people chatted while drinking tea, of course, the topic mainly revolved around the treatment of locusts in Hebei Province.

Zhou Mao sighed again and again when he heard it, and asked curiously from time to time, with a smile on his face, sincere eyes, and a sincere attitude...... It's a great listener and seems to be really engaged.

After chatting, Lu Shuo also had a general understanding of Zhou Mao's temperament.

Humility and peace, not arrogant or impatient, can maintain the family's upbringing in any situation......

Gentleman, that's probably the case!

After a few people talked for a while, the little guy came up with the dishes, and the topic of several people also turned to the things of Taoshan Academy!

Lu Shuo appropriately expressed his anxiety and anxiety about tomorrow's enrollment.

“… Brother Lu Xian doesn't have to worry too much, listening to what you just said, you directly worshipped the mountain chief as a teacher... The mountain chief is very knowledgeable, and he does not accept apprentices easily, and with you, there are only six disciples under his name now......"

Zhou Mao put down his chopsticks and gently persuaded.

"Not bad!"

Yuan Wenji also agreed, and then briefly talked about the disciples that Yuan Zhongdao had personally taught in recent years.

Lu Shuo pricked up his ears and listened carefully to his introduction.

It turned out that Yuan Zhongdao had gradually reduced the number of disciples in recent years due to his advanced age, and in addition to the three grandsons of Yuan Wenxin, Yuan Wentao, and Yuan Wenji, there were only two disciples who had been accepted seriously.

One is Zhou Mao, and the other is Wei Zhao!

Even Yuan Wenlin, who rushed back from Lianghuai thousands of miles away, Yuan Zhongdao did not teach it in person.

According to Yuan Wenji, the reason why Yuan Zhongdao arranged it this way was because Yuan Wenlin was really poorly qualified, and Yuan Zhongdao felt that Yuan Wenlin would not only be beneficial if he followed him to study, but would not be beneficial because he couldn't keep up with the rhythm!

Yuan Wenji's words were straightforward, no matter how arrogant Yuan Wenlin was, he didn't like to read, and his face became hot when he heard this evaluation.

"How many times did my father say you, but you didn't take it to heart and blindly stubborn...... Tell me for yourself, what's wrong with grandfather's arrangement......"

Seeing Yuan Wenlin's embarrassed face, Yuan Wenji, as his own brother, did not hesitate to criticize and said bluntly.

Except for the parties, the other three were all silent and did not say a word.

Yuan Zheng is not here, Yuan Wenji's eldest brother is like a father, and it is supposed to educate Yuan Wenlin, if they intervene at this time, it will be inappropriate!

However, Lu Shuo looked at Yuan Wenji and had a new understanding of him in his heart!

It turns out that this Ruyu boy will also lose his temper.

Yuan Wenlin only promised.

Seeing this, Yuan Wenji's face looked better, and the sharpness in his tone also decreased, and he said seriously: "People like us come out, studying for the imperial examination is the right way, even if you don't take the imperial examination, it is good to stay in Taoshan Academy to teach...... I know that you think about dancing with swords all day long, but first, you are weak and qualified, and secondly, there is no one in our family to support you, if you really embark on this road, it will be more difficult than taking the road of civil officials......"

Lu Shuo was a little surprised, and then he was stunned.

He couldn't help but think of a few years ago, when Yuan Wenlin was in Yuan's mansion, he used his small arm to hold a long sword and say that Lingyun Zhuangzhi......

It turns out that so many years have passed, they have all grown up, but Yuan Wenlin's obsession has still not let go!

Thinking of this, Lu Shuo even forgot the question he had just asked, he frowned and looked at Yuan Wenlin, his eyes full of confusion and disapproval.

Listening to his brother's words, Yuan Wenlin's obedient good attitude just now disappeared, his worm-like eyebrows were tightly tangled, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised to look at Yuan Wenji, with a look of disbelief.

Obviously, he does not think that he is too weak to practice martial arts, nor does he think that he has no future if he takes the road of military attaché.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the other three spoke out to dissuade them.

Because today's banquet was invited by Lu Shuo, Yuan Wenji was also measured, and he was embarrassed to attack on the spot.

In addition, because his younger brother was with his parents, he didn't spend much time with him, and his brother's relationship was not deep, so Yuan Wenji made up his mind to get along with him.

The words just now were also taken to say it these days when I couldn't hold it back, but Yuan Wenlin was still a teenager, and Yuan Wenji was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, it would lead to his rebellious mentality, and it would not help to say anything, and it would affect the harmony of the brothers, so he kept silent.

However, seeing that he was not convinced, Yuan Wenji thought that he would slowly change his thoughts in the future.

Yuan Wenlin saw that his brother had stopped, so he naturally wouldn't ask for trouble, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Lu Shuo couldn't help coughing dryly, and changed the subject: "Who is this Wei Zhao? Why have you never heard of it?"

Zhou Mao's eyes were extremely lively, and he immediately echoed: "He is from Weizhou, his family has been farming for generations, and he has always been famous, so it's ......normal for you to not know him."

"Not famous?"

Lu Shuo's doubts were even stronger.

Yuan Zhongdao is obviously very demanding in accepting disciples, and even his own grandson, who is mediocre in learning, was rejected by him, how did this infamous Wei Zhao get into his eyes?

Moreover, such a scarce position was given to a person with an infamous reputation, how could the rest of the academy be convinced?

As soon as Zhou Mao saw Lu Shuo's eyes, he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I said that he is not famous, but it doesn't mean that this person has no real talent......

"Oh?"

Lu Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that he deliberately buried his name?"

Uncle Lu's question pulled Yuan Wenji out of his awkwardness.

"Everyone has their own ambitions!" Yuan Wenji answered, "Wei Zhao is an excellent learner, in the academy's quarterly unified examination, Hui Hui is ranked in the forefront, and even faintly above us, only the eldest brother can stabilize him......"

Taoshan Academy is to take talents from talents, and this Wei Zhao can be in the forefront of the unified examination, which shows that his knowledge is really good!

"Then why did he ......?"

He was determined to concentrate on the Tao, and he was bent on studying with his grandfather, but he had no intention of taking the imperial examination, and he never participated in the large and small literary meetings in Weizhou, and even did not participate in the activities of the academy...... But you don't have to worry, he's withdrawn, but he's not bad, as long as you get along well, it's not a big deal......"

The more he explained, the more confused Lu Shuo felt!

A young student, it is the time of vitality, should be famous, specializing in such a thing, usually more than half a hundred years old man will do, but this person can calm down, and determined to do this, it is really abnormal.

Moreover......

"Isn't he a farmer?" Lu Shuo said, "The constraints of the academy are not low, his family spends so much every year to provide for him to go to school, but he doesn't want to take the merit test, how can his family agree?"

"I don't know!"

Zhou Mao was obviously also puzzled, "I have never seen his family come to the academy, and he himself has never mentioned it, or when Mr. talked about it, I only knew the origin of his family......
