Mo Li watched Acacia follow the little county lord into the courtyard, he was a foreign man, it was really difficult to stay, so he turned around and walked towards Fu Ningzhun and their courtyard, but when he arrived in the courtyard, he heard that Zhuang Jinyuan and Fu Ningzhun had gone to the back hall of the temple, and asked people to wait here, and wanted to take him with him.

A trace of doubt lingered in his heart, but Mo Li couldn't just leave, plus he met Meng Boliang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, on the road, the two simply went to the back hall together.

The back hall of Mingjue Temple is surrounded by bamboo forests, the bamboo here is very rare, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter never see the withering, only the roots are green like the best jade, the bamboo leaves echo with the wind, make a rustling sound.

Mo Li stepped on the bluestone pavement, looking at the wildflowers planted randomly on the side of the road, even though the flowers had withered, the rhizomes were still firmly buried in the soil.

"Do you know who called us here?" Mo Li asked in a low voice before he reached the back hall.

"You don't know?" Meng Boliang was surprised: "Several teachers from our academy have come, gathered in one place to lecture on history, and found that we were all in Mingjue Temple in the middle of speaking, so they thought that we would go over, no matter what, it will always be beneficial to listen to it." ”

Mo Li suddenly didn't think much about it, and the two followed Xiao Shami into the back hall together, and there were already many students in it at this time, many of them were still their classmates.

Fu Ningzhun saw the two of them coming, and hurriedly walked over and arched his hand: "Just now, there are some things to deal with at home, so I took the first step, sorry, sorry." ”

Mo Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

"I heard that kid from Jin Yuan is here, why didn't he come?" Meng Boliang turned around again and said, "Huo Ran, that kid didn't come either, so it stands to reason that he should have arrived a long time ago." ”

Mo looked around, and sure enough, there was no trace of the two of them.

The three of them didn't say a few words, and soon their classmates who went to school together on weekdays came over, and a few people chatted about some calligraphy and paintings they had seen recently or the exam questions of previous years, and time passed slowly unconsciously.

"Silence, silence!" At some point, the originally closed door was opened, and a teacher walked out of it, and as soon as he raised his hands, the students immediately quieted down.

"Whoever is called later, come in with me." After saying that, the teacher began to call a few people in the crowd.

"What do you say this is for?" A short young man beside Mo Li asked in a low voice.

The people around him were also very strange, and he always felt that the atmosphere became tense.

Mo Li looked up and looked at the people whose names had just been called on the stone steps, these people were all surprised, and even a little proud.

"Could it be that the one who is called by name is the one who has the teacher's favor?" Someone else couldn't help but speculate.

Many people set their eyes on Mo Li and Meng Boliang, after all, these people are all top-notch in the academy.

It's a pity that these people don't have any expressions at all, and they can't see what they are thinking.

It was only when the teacher inside came out of the room and called in a number of students that everyone realized that something was wrong.

"Why don't people come out just when they go in?"

"I think I went out the back door."

"Could it be that today it is a teacher who will take the school homework together?"

Because of the lack of clarity, so people's hearts began to be impetuous, many people have begun to think of ways to find out, and some people nervously went back and forth several times to the thatched house, and some people were pale as if they were too nervous on the spot, and it was difficult to even speak.

"What are you all doing here?"

Mo Li heard a familiar voice and looked towards the comer, Fu Ningzhun and the others had already greeted him.

"Why did you come at this time, and Jin Yuan is still with you?" Meng Boliang patted Meng Huoran on the shoulder, and Zhuang Jinyuan came out from behind Meng Huoran.

"He? I'm afraid I'm so happy that I almost won't be able to go up the mountain! Zhuang Jinyuan said with a wink.

Meng Huoran's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense!" It's misleading again. ”

"Misunderstanding what?" Zhuang Jinyuan leaned over, raised his eyebrows and dragged a long voice: "I still remember the last time in the paddock, you ......"

"That Miss He sent away?" Mo Li walked over and looked at Zhuang Jinyuandao.

Zhuang Jinyuan was choked by these words, and said angrily: "When did you and Meng Huoran get along so well? Actually help him speak! ”

Mo Li glanced at him and said, "I'm just asking casually, what are you anxious about." ”

Meng Huoran obviously escaped and gave Mo Li a grateful look.

"Okay, stop talking, the teacher is out!" Fu Ningzhun pulled a few people and pointed to the door.

Several people hurriedly walked to the door and stood behind the crowd.

"What is this for?" Zhuang Jinyuan pulled Mo Li's sleeve and said.

"I called my name and went in, and I heard that many teachers in the academy were inside." Mo Li lowered his voice and replied.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as Mo Li finished speaking, the teacher inside came out and shouted: "Mo Li, Meng Huoran, Meng Boliang, Zhuang Jinyuan, Fu Ningzhun ...... Fifteen students are available? ”

In the crowd, one by one, only three or two people were not here. Mo Li also quickly stepped forward.

"Go in, the mountain grows inside." The teacher said only that, and then turned and went in.

Zhuang Jinyuan pursed his lips, glanced at Mo Li, and ran in quickly.

As soon as they entered, a smell of Buddha incense wafted out, and Mo Li and a few people did see the mountain chief standing among several teachers looking at them with a smile.

Seeing that Mo Li was full of puzzlement, the mountain chief laughed and said, "It's good, you all happened to be here." ”

"Mountain Chief, what do you want to do with such a big formation today?" Zhuang Jinyuan was considered to be the highest-ranking among several students, he stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Test your homework!" The mountain chief glared at him, and pretended to be stern: "All of you are the best teachers in our academy, you are all going to end next year, and it looks like the New Year is coming, I always want to see if you have slackened these days." ”

The far-fetched reason, but after all, it was put forward by the mountain chief, and the students couldn't step forward one by one to take the questions given by the teacher, and they weren't allowed to write, but they just stepped forward to answer them one by one after reading the questions. It looks like it's a raid exam.

Mo Li unfolded the rice paper, looked at the question and didn't pay much attention, and answered the question decently. He is actually not top-notch in the academy, but he is up and down in the middle and upper reaches, but even so, he still fell into the eyes of the teacher and felt that he had great potential.

The teachers listened to the strategies of several students one by one, looked at each other, and said, "Although there are many shortcomings, but fortunately, I am still attentive, go back and think more...... I still have to go to the academy more on weekdays, and if I don't understand anything, I have to discuss it with the teacher. ”

Although the students who came in were still full of doubts, they all bowed down to be taught.

"Alright, go back." The mountain chief said with a wave of his hand.

Later, as some people had guessed, there was a back door in the back hall, and a novice stood at the door, waiting for someone to come out and then take him out, and he couldn't meet the students in the front yard.

Waiting for not a single student to be left in the back hall, the mountain chief stood up and said, "Do you want to call a few more students out?" ”

At this time, the door of the inner room opened, and a big monk came out wearing a thin monk's robe, laughing and said: "It's just a small thing, to make the mountain chief work so hard to move the people, to the poor monk." ”

"Am I not afraid that you will regret it?" The mountain chief stroked his beard, rolled his eyes and said: "That's what you said, if you want to choose an apprentice among the students who come to Shangxiang today, of course I have to send the students of our academy over first, and I don't have to let others take the lead." ”

The rest of the teachers agreed, they have no hope of being apprentices to the great monk in their lives, but as long as their students have this honor, they will also be considered enlightenment teachers in the future, and their future will definitely be much stronger than now.

"The matter of apprentices, the poor monk already has eyebrows." The great monk said unfathomably.

"What!" The mountain chief jumped up and said hurriedly: "But that prince of the county? Or is it a relative of the royal family? It's good that you don't think about it, and you're just a secular person! ”

"Hahahaha!" The monk laughed, walked over and patted the mountain chief and said, "If you let go of your obsession, it is not bad to be a monk with me." ”

"Phew! I haven't broken the red dust, and you're not afraid that my mother-in-law will settle accounts with you! The mountain chief glared at the little eyes and said unhappily, who here didn't know that he was most afraid of his wife.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Monk Bunian narrowed his eyes and said, "The apprentice who is destined is in your academy." ”

"Really?" The mountain chief shook his spirits.

"Of course!"

"Really?"

"Of course!" The monk who does not read the monk tirelessly affirmed.

The mountain chief suddenly laughed and said, "In this way, who else in this Chen Kingdom is better than our academy?" ”

Then he immediately grabbed the monk and said, "Who do you fancie?" ”

The monk touched his bald head, and seemed to be very honest and said: "The only son of the brave general - Mo Li, Mo Gongzi!" ”

It didn't take long for Acacia to see the princess of Yujun, so he said goodbye and left, and burned a pillar of incense before leaving to make a wish, and his grandmother's cousin drew a lot, and the two went to the outskirts of Beijing in a carriage.

"This Kyoto down-and-out is really getting more and more lawless." Cousin Guan got into the carriage and gossiped with Acacia: "Today, I heard that someone wanted to stop the carriage of Scholar Qiao's family and made filthy remarks, if it wasn't for your cousin passing by to help, I'm afraid it would be another inexplicable lawsuit." ”

Acacia heard her mention these down-and-outs, and remembered that a few months ago, she and Meng Xintong also met such down-and-out people on the way to the appointment, and they were almost injured, if it weren't for Zhuang Jinyuan and they happened to pass by, the eldest sister was afraid that her reputation would be hindered.

"I don't know who came up with the bad idea, do you really think that if you bully a girl from a powerful family, you can marry someone else's daughter? Thinking about beauty, if this kind of thing happens, the daughter is afraid that she will marry low, and the down-and-out son will harm the whole family. The cousin said again, it can be regarded as teaching acacia.

"Are those down-and-out sons all the children of the original family?" Acacia asked curiously.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this has been passed down for many generations. Not all families can be heirlooms for a hundred years. Besides, there are some things that can't be provoked...... "My cousin can't say it directly, so I have to say this."

Acacia didn't ask again, and heard a familiar ringtone in his ears.

"Cousin, do you hear a bell ringing?"

"No? Where do ringtones come from? ”

Acacia cautiously leaned to the window, opened a corner and looked out, only to see that Mo Li's familiar carriage was driving alongside her family.
