Chapter 16: The Belly Pocket of the Book

On the first day of the lecture at Donglin Academy in early March, the benches were neatly arranged in the open space surrounded by gentlemen's bamboo in the men's college. The neatly dressed male and female students held their books in their hands, their faces could not hide their excitement, and they looked forward to the high platform surrounded by the red carved fence in front of them.

At three o'clock, Gu Shanchang slowly walked out of the house on the north side of the high sea. Different from the previous loose and elegant robe that showed the style of the literati, today he deliberately changed into a school official uniform. The delicately crafted black official uniform is trimmed with dark red piping on the neckline, chest and cuffs, and it shows a solemn official majesty when worn on the body.

Slightly brushing down his well-groomed beard, Gu Shanchang introduced the life and deeds of Master Kukai in a solemn tone, including his amazing medical skills, how not to admire wealth and nobility, and where he has helped those people over the years. After that, he used a tone of admiration to express his personal admiration and admiration for the master.

Ah Yao sat in the front position below, and it was thanks to Su Xiaoqiao that she could have such a good position. The students of the academy are full of anticipation for Master Kukai to open the altar to give lectures, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and when they really wait until this day, their enthusiasm is naturally extraordinary, and they are scrambling to occupy the position, regardless of the demeanor of a lady and a gentleman. At this time, Su Xiaoqiao's physical advantage was vividly displayed, among the delicate and frail Jiangnan women, she rushed in with a stool on her shoulder, and her indomitable momentum was like a general on the battlefield.

After some fighting, she successfully grabbed the prime position in the second row, and the front position was exclusive to Shen Moci. She also knew just now that because the morning reading started too early, the master would not come over most of the time, and most of the time it was led by the best students. Moreover, when the master and son have extra instructions in their schoolwork, most of them also convey them on their behalf.

This is similar to the position of steward among students, and Donglin Academy has two. The male student is Song Qinwen, and the female student is Shen Moci. At this moment, the two sat parallel to each other in the first row, the man was dressed in a light green robe, and the woman was dressed in a moon-white dress, sitting upright in front of the person, and the same delicate face made the eyes of the seekers shine, and then couldn't help but praise well.

No, after Master Kukai, who was ceremoniously invited by Gu Shanchang, stepped onto the high platform, he arched Luo Guo's back and looked left and right, and finally fixed his eyes on the front row, and said in a loud voice: "Gu Shanchang has a good reputation, the poor monk is just a monk and a layman, and he is old, how can he catch up with the outstanding demeanor of the students under this stage, like the rising sun and the young shoots breaking the ground, thriving and vigorous." ”

Humble words come out of someone's mouth, if a Lai Han, who has achieved nothing, speaks like this, everyone will only think that he is sour and inferior; But in the same way, for the world-famous Kukai master, that is, he is humble and self-contained.

Being able to get a word of approval from Master Kukai not only overflowed the joy of all the students of Donglin Academy, but even Gu Shanchang felt that his face was greatly enhanced.

And Ah Yao, who was behind Shen Moci, always felt that when Master Kukai said this, those eyes full of wisdom seemed to be staring at her all the time. When they looked at each other, the corners of his wrinkled lips raised into a kind smile, and his eyes seemed to blink mischievously.

Wink? How could Master Kukai, a high-ranking monk in public, do such an undignified thing, this must be her hallucination!

I don't know why I've been hallucinating lately, and after the matter of Mo Daru is over, she must go to the temple to worship the Buddha.

While she was thinking wildly, Master Kukai had been paying attention to her.

This is the girl of the Hu family that the little marquis misses? It's really full of blessings, and the blessings around him are profound...... How so? He has read countless people for most of his life, even the most noble people in the world, but such a profound blessing is really rare in his life.

Surprised, he took a few more looks, which allowed him to slowly see the doorway. No, it is indeed a blessed and profound life, but there is something faintly mixed in this blessing that cannot be explained, and it cannot be said to be a bad thing, but that thing is faintly in conflict with the blessing.

After careful discernment, he realized that it was kindness.

He has not never seen the loss of blessings because of kindness, there are too many people in the world who lure wolves into the house because of their kindness, the good ones are sad and lost, and the bad ones are broken and killed. But most of those people are due to lack of blessings, such a deep blessing as the girl of the Hu family, and there is a faint danger of being suppressed by good qi, which is the first time he has seen it in his life.

If he had previously entered Qinglin Academy to give lectures because of the instructions of the little marquis, and by the way he found an opportunity to accept the Hu family girl as an apprentice, now he is a little more active and willing.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Master Kukai's face still did not change in the slightest. Maintaining his usual kindness, he turned his eyes to the front of the male school.

This is the "cousin" who can't help but grit his teeth every time the little marquis mentions it, but he is a son with a demeanor like jade, but he is just destined to commit peach blossoms, empty talent and depressed, and blue face has a thin life, but it is not all without a turnaround......

Yu Guang glanced at the yellow-shirted girl on the girl's side, remembering the terrifying look of the little marquis before, he quickly retracted his thoughts. Silently chanting "Amitabha", he straightened up as much as he could, and he looked down.

"The poor monk is just a monk and layman, and he is not refined in learning. If you talk about it rashly, you are afraid that there will be nothing to say, and it will inevitably mislead people's children, so I will talk about it according to the daily teaching of the academy today. ”

Speaking of which, the meaning is very clear, he wants to say according to the content of the weekday teaching, so he naturally needs a textbook.

Gu Shanchang didn't expect Master Kukai to be so pragmatic, with his status, he could say something casually, even if he meditated on the spot and chanted the scriptures, these students in front of him had to pretend to be very taught, enlightened, and grateful to cooperate. Unexpectedly, not only did he not do this, but even cooperated with the progress of the students of the academy.

What else does he have to oppose?

Immediately, he turned around and prepared to enter the academy to find a new set of books for the master. But before he could take any further steps, the master had already stopped him, and he could just borrow a loan from the students present.

It is a great honor to be able to borrow a book from a master. If the master sees the annotations or other notes in the book during the reading process, and gives the student a point or two, then this person will be able to soar in the near future.

Without much thought, Gu Shanchang gave this beauty to his most admired student, Song Qinwen.

"Qinwen, and present your book to the master."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a look of envy at the bottom, it was the Kukai master incarnated by the Dragon Palace Turtle Prime Minister in the play, a living immortal who was famous all over the world, and his book could be used by him, what a big face it must be. For a time, all the students of the academy, both men and women, looked at Song Qinwen with blank eyes. Many people regret that they didn't have a good student to study on weekdays and win Gu Shanchang's love, otherwise such a good opportunity today would be theirs.

After all, he is a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown, and Song Qinwen is usually steady, but now in the face of great good things, he can't help but feel happy in his heart, Ruyu's face is flushed with a few traces of red, and a little joy is added for no reason.

Standing up as calmly as possible, he walked to the high platform with the book in both hands, bowed slightly and handed it forward.

"Thank you."

After nodding and speaking, Master Kukai took it, and after opening it in front of more than a hundred pairs of admiring eyes in the audience, his face suddenly changed sharply. He quickly closed the book, and with his other hand fished it under the book, trying to catch the thing and hide it. But it seems that the old hands and feet are not flexible, and the hand below is deviated, but instead of catching it, the remaining half of the book hidden in the book is pulled out under the scratch.

In front of Gu Shanchang, in the eyes of everyone in the academy, a big red cloth that looked like Jinpa, but had a few more ties than Jinpa, and was larger and irregularly shaped, fell from the book. Blown by the wind, it floated on the wooden carved railing on the south side of the high platform, facing the students of the academy sitting on the south side.

"What is this?" This is the reaction of most male students.

"Ahh The screams came from a handful of female students on the right who were covering their faces.

Sitting in the second row, Ah Yao could clearly see the thing hanging on the carved railing, it was nothing else, it was the girl's close-fitting belly pocket.

How could such a thing be clamped in Song Qin's documents? And this belly pocket looks a little familiar. After a little thought, she understood. Isn't that vivid lotus flower her most commonly used pattern? Looking closely, even the gradient color scheme on the petals and the unique knotting method of the neck rope are exactly the same as hers.

It's hers!

But her underwear has always been properly kept, even if she doesn't wear it once, she will wash and fold it and put it in her exclusive warehouse, which will never appear in Song Qinwen's hands.

How did it end up here?

Ah Yao bit her lip, and faintly thought of another possibility in her heart. It was a nurse, and she had stolen a lot of her clothes from the account books seized a few days ago, most likely with intimate clothes.

Thinking of this, her face turned pale for a while, and she raised her head with fear, but saw that Shen Moci's body was even stiffer than her in front of her, and even so stiff that she didn't even notice that the reptile had fallen on her neck.

Isn't the belly pocket hers? Thinking of the scene of light cyan and moon white intertwined in the bamboo forest, she had a bold guess in her heart.

In just a moment, many male students had already recognized this thing, and the crowd under the high stage completely exploded. When Song Qinwen went up to deliver the book, although everyone could not hide their envy, they did not have much anti-feelings in their hearts. Song Qinwen is good-looking, he studies hard enough, and what is even more rare is that he has never been arrogant, and he has always been willing to lend a helping hand when his classmates are in difficulty.

But such an almost perfect person would put women's intimate clothes in the books of the sages. This will make up such a scene in the minds of many people: Song Qinwen sat in the position of the master during the morning reading, condescendingly and seemingly a serious reading, but in fact, the hand hidden under the table pinched a red belly pocket, gently stroked and rubbed, and when he felt it, he would pretend to understand the way of the sages, close his eyes and savor it.

Disillusionment, nothing more.

The meaningful gaze was cast from below, and Song Qinwen, who was shocked by the scene in front of him, was stunned, and completely forgot to defend himself.

Seeing that her brother was in the midst of injustice, Song Qinrong was anxious. The laughter around her came, and she couldn't hold back any longer, standing up and pointing at Ah Yao.

"It's her, she borrowed my brother's handout a few days ago and said that she was familiar with the academy's homework, and she must have secretly clipped it in."
