Chapter Twenty-Three: Literati Are Elegant?
As soon as the car broke into the road, it was like a stone into a lake, and those literati immediately raised their sleeves and shouted angrily: "Where did the barbaric and vulgar people come from? How can you disturb such a beautiful country? ”
"It's really insulting for such people to come to the academy!"
"Let's go back as soon as possible!"
Rong Xi sat in the carriage, leaned over the brocade, and took a black plum in his mouth, hmm...... Comfortable.
Literati, elegant? Hum...... Rong Xi smiled faintly, these people just saw that their carriage did not have any obvious marks of the official family, otherwise, let them eat a mouthful of soil, shake the ashes of the buttocks, and say with a smile You are elegant.
"I'm a Zhao scholar who is flourishing, how could I allow such a rude person to step into Tianyang Academy?"
"Yes! This kind of person will only dirty the ground of the academy! ”
Rong Xi took a sip of tea, hmm...... It's so fragrant.
The coachman listened carefully to the movement in the car with his ears, this princess is really calm, others scolded her so much that she didn't even say a word, this endurance beyond ordinary people is two points like the prince.
It's just that those sour rots are too unusual! He flipped his wrist, and the whip in his hand turned a few more times in the air, and those literati were scolding happily, when suddenly the whip grazed the tip of his nose and whistled with a fierce wind!
"Ahh One by one, they were so shocked that they forgot the words on their lips, and their tones went astray.
After screaming, I found that the whip had already fallen on the horse's buttocks, and even my own hair was not touched, so I couldn't help but stroke my face with my sleeves with some shame, and then looked at the horse's buttocks that had been beaten by the horsewhip......
I just opened my mouth and wanted to scold a few more words to cover up the gaffe just now, but I saw two horses behind the carriage, and there were two burly men sitting on it, both dressed in short clothes, wearing black cloaks, and the horse's hooves were flying, and the cloaks behind the two people were like open dark clouds, and suddenly pressed on people's hearts, and the two eyes that looked at them were like lightning hidden behind the dark clouds, and everyone was unconsciously silent.
Rong Xi didn't take these small characters to heart at all, her eyes were always higher and farther away, she felt that the speed of the carriage was gradually slowing down, and there was not much time, she heard the sound of the horseman pulling the horse, and then asked, "Childe, it's here." ”
Rong Xi picked up the silk cloth on the window of the carriage and looked out, there were also a lot of carriages parked in a large open space, and some of them were horses, and the decoration of these carriages was not comparable to the color of the horses under the mountain, she picked her lips and straightened her robe.
There were a few staff members standing at the entrance of the academy, it seemed that they had just arrived, and they were in the cold and noisy when they heard the sound of the carriage and saw a carriage coming, and then looked at it, the carriage was too ordinary, and there were no obvious marks, and a trace of ridicule flashed in the eyes of several people.
They were about to turn their eyes away, when the curtain was lifted, and a young man stepped out of the car, and everyone was unconsciously attracted to the attention.
The man tilted his head slightly, a black hair was tied up high, a piece of green and transparent jade was inlaid on the hairband, and the black hair was more and more black like water, bright as silk, his skin was thin and transparent, like the bright moon rising on the top of the mountain at night, the outline of his face was as graceful as flowing water, elegant and transparent, so that people suddenly heard a pinch of clear spring flowing through his heart, the young man raised his head and looked at it from afar, his eyes were black and bright, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised upward, his eyes were far away, it seemed that everyone was watching, but no one was in his eyes.
The smoky gray robe on his body swayed gently in the wind, and the elegant color made his body seem to be covered with a cloud of smoke, which made people unconsciously want to indulge in that light cloud and moon-like temperament.
Everyone took a breath in unison, and the surrounding green trees seemed to add a bit of smoke and rain to the moist color, and the warbler chirping seemed to be quiet......
The young master strolled over, with a graceful posture and peerless elegance.
At the moment when everyone was silent, Rong Xi had already crossed the threshold and walked inside.
Everyone looked at each other, "Brother Tai, this is ......"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
Everyone looked at the carriage again, the black and red carriage, the ordinary carved patterns, there was nothing brilliant about it, but the man...... How can it be so good?
Rong Xi walked into the lobby, where many literati had gathered, discussing the past and the present, young and old, her eyes swept away, and she found a corner and sat quietly.
"Brother Xu, I heard that you are very trusted by Lord Shangshu in Shangshu Mansion."
"Where, where, Lord Shangshu is talented, I will be ashamed in front of adults, and I will be ashamed......"
Rong Xi supported his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated, these staff members are not as real as those sour and rotten scholars below, they really seize any opportunity to slap Sima Fart.
After a burst of boring and unnutritious flattery, a sudden chorus was sung: "The college supervisor has arrived!" ”
Suddenly, those literati all stopped, and they all walked around and looked at the door, and a middle-aged man in a lilac robe walked in, his hair was tied up black, his face was like jade, a few long whiskers fluttered on his chest, a pair of eyes were slightly narrowed, and he slowly glanced around the hall, with an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"The prison is just right!"
I don't know who shouted, and suddenly, the sound of admiration and flattery sounded again, and Rong Xi in the corner rolled his eyes.
The supervisor didn't say anything, just his eyes flickered, and he slowly walked to the upper seat with that smiling expression, Rong Xi looked at his gaze, and silently said in his heart: "Old fox! ”
Jian Zheng sat down, picked up the tea on the table with one hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, and then slowly took a sip.
Rong Xi observed this eunuch, although he was middle-aged, he could be regarded as a beautiful uncle, and he could also charm many "uncle-controlled" girls in modern times.
Uncle Beauty put down the teacup and smiled lightly, "Everyone, this year's topic is here, please listen well." ”
There was silence all around, everyone was holding their breath, this is a good opportunity, who can win here, and what is the future ......
The beautiful uncle waved his hand, and the attendant next to him unfolded a roll of paper, looked at it and read it aloud: "According to legend, 1,500 years ago, there was a holy emperor, the zodiac was a dog, and at that time there was also a wind of fighting dogs, so when the fortieth birthday, the princes presented gifts, among which the second prince who held the power of the army and was good at fighting also carefully chose a birthday gift for the holy emperor, which was a first-class mastiff, a unique dog breed of the neighboring Xindi country, rare and precious, he sent people to escort him, all the way to the imperial capital to offer gifts, and at that time the holy emperor did not set up a prince, And the second prince's voice at that time was also very high. ”
The voice stopped abruptly, and everyone seemed to be choking in their throats with a breath, and at this time, the beautiful uncle's fingers gently lifted the lid of the teacup, and gently knocked, with a "pop" sound, crisp and alert.
"May I ask you, if you are a member of the staff of other princes, how should you deal with the congratulatory gifts of the second prince?"
The surroundings were quiet again, no one thought that this time the topic was so spicy and direct, although it was a matter of other dynasties, it also showed that it was more than 1,500 years ago, but it was just ...... After all, it is a royal matter, but everyone thinks of their own identity, as an official staff, these things are things that everyone has to face, there is only one throne, and the battle for the throne has never been spicy to describe.
Rong Xi raised the corner of his eyes and looked at the beautiful uncle sitting on it, looking at the person's posture calmly, smiling, the cunning light in his eyes always reminded people of a certain animal, hum...... This topic is very weird......
"On the way to the escort, do your hands and feet on that dog!" In the middle of the night, one person broke the silence.
For a while, like a drop of water into hot oil, the surroundings began to boil again.
"If you are looking for a better gift, you must press that gift!"
"Give medicine to that dog, and go crazy when the Holy Emperor approaches!"
Listening to this sentence, Rong Xi suddenly remembered a small modern story, a group of rats in order to prevent their companions from dying under the cat's paws, they came up with a string of bells for the cat, so that the cat could make a sound as soon as it moved, and all the rats agreed, thinking that this idea was really the best, but who would wear a bell for the cat?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look down and smile.
"Hey, this brother is laughing, he must have a brilliant idea!" Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished laughing, a man in a blue robe immediately shouted.
Rong Xi scolded in his heart, why are you staring at me and smiling?
Helplessly, the surroundings had already quieted down, and they all turned their heads to look at this side, she had to stand up and arch her hand and said, "I really don't have any good ideas." ”
"No good idea, what are you laughing at?" The man did not give up.
"Laughter is human nature, and I laugh when I can't control it." Rong Xi said with a light smile again.
Everyone felt that the young man smiled, and the colors around him seemed to be darkened, and his eyes flashed, like colorful glass, which was compelling.
"Hmph, you're clearly laughing at the bad idea you came up with, otherwise how could you laugh?" The man propped up the table with one hand, staring at Rong Xi with his eyes, and it seemed that he would not stop without giving an explanation.
Rong Xi was helpless, it turned out that this idea was from this one, she looked at the beautiful fox sitting on it, the fox was still sitting and drinking tea, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and she didn't plan to break the siege.
Rong Xi lowered his eyelids slightly, "I think that the best thing to do to deal with this matter is not to do it." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered, leaning together the heads of a familiar person, looking at Rong Xi's body, and the beauty fox's eyebrows were raised, and the fingers holding the tea lid were slightly loosened, and the tea cover gently touched the teacup, crisp and sound, but the sound was quickly drowned in the discussion of everyone.
But the heart of the beautiful fox was like a boulder, rippling and swinging away in circles.
