The ice and snow melt, the finches are diligent and the flowers are blooming, and although the spring is slow, she is still like a girl with a spiritual aura in her eyes and a gentle broken step. It's spring again, and it's also the time when the annual pre-school outing of Lizheng College is approaching.
This year is the ninth time that Lizheng College has held an outing meeting, and it is also the fourth time that Mo Ye has participated in this kind of college camping conference. However, this year's conference is a little different from previous years, and the special thing is that the participants are no longer just students of Lizheng Academy, but are jointly organized by Lizheng Academy and Shanshui Academy.
The outing meeting was held before the start of the school year, which was the first of its kind in Lizheng College, and this year, there is certainly a reason why Lizheng and Shanshui, two colleges with different teaching nature and scale, can cooperate.
The first to have this intention is the deans of the two colleges. These two masters, who are highly respected in the hearts of the students of various families, are friends in private, and they do not deliberately hide this secret. The two college deans often invite each other, or drink tea and read, or go hiking and fishing, which is not uncommon for students to see.
The dean has taken the lead, and of course there will be people among the students who will follow the example of the master because of reverence, envy and many other reasons, so the exchanges between the students of Lizheng Academy and Shanshui Academy have also begun to increase, so that Xing Feng and Mo Ye often ride horses back to Xingjia Village together is no longer a strange thing in the eyes of the students.
Lizheng Academy emphasizes literature and landscape academy emphasizes martial arts, and the students of the two schools communicate with each other in terms of civil and military affairs, each with its own merits, promoting its own strengths and making up for its shortcomings, and there are few conflicts of language because of communication. As time went by, more and more students from the two families became friends with each other, so some people even sighed that it would be nice if Lizheng and Shanshui could merge.
The ultimate goal of most of the scholars in Lizheng is to enter the imperial examination, and whether it is locally or in Kyoto, civil and military discord is a taboo thing in the emperor's majesty and the officialdom pattern, who doesn't want to have a right-hand man in that kind of wind and waves? Scholars who have no power to restrain chickens always have a glimmer of hope that today's martial artists will become good helpers in officialdom one day; The disciples of Shanshui Academy, who are good at martial arts, know that if they want to use martial arts as officials, the road ahead will be more arduous, and if they succeed once they succeed, it would be great if they could have a wise trust and good friends by their side.
There are some disciples in Shanshui Academy who abandon literature and follow martial arts, similar to the style of punishment, because they are not good at poetry and literature. But I don't know how the masters of Shanshui Academy teach their disciples, and the disciples of Shanshui Academy only envy and appreciate the literary talents of those scholars in Lizheng Academy, and rarely are jealous and unwilling, which is very different from the short temperament of the literati. Close to Zhu Zhechi, the scholars of Lizheng Academy, who often communicate with the disciples of Shanshui Academy, gradually developed some peculiar temperament.
Therefore, when I learned that the two colleges would jointly hold an outing conference, the private relationship was finally recognized, and the students of each family were also excited about it. And what the two old masters finally made this decision was a gambling contract, and the details of this gambling contract were actually a bit child's play.
The reason originated from Mr. Muwen, the teacher of Lizheng College. It is said that Mr. Mu owes Xing Feng, a disciple of Shanshui Academy, several promises, or to invite him to dinner, or to invite him to play, and so on, which was originally a thank you for repaying Xing Feng for helping him, but these thanks have accumulated again and again, and seeing that they are accumulating more and more, Mr. Mu has not yet had the slightest intention of fulfilling his promise.
According to the etiquette of Mu Fuzi, he was originally regarded as half of the teacher of Xingfeng, and later Xingfeng transferred to Shanshui Academy, although he no longer studied under Mu Fuzi, but the teacher was kind, and he and Mu Fuzi were also regarded as teachers and students, and Mu Fuzi was not a big deal even if he really didn't plan to fulfill these promises.
It's just that Mo Chuyan, a disciple in Mufuzi's sect, attaches great importance to this matter, and reminds him many times in front of Mufuzi, and finally the master and apprentice have a dispute because of this, and when they can't make a decision, the dean of the academy mentions a game to clear the debt of Xinnuo that has accumulated for a long time. At the same time, because of Xingfeng's current identity, for the sake of fairness, the disciples of Shanshui Academy were also invited to watch the game as evidence. Later, after the two college directors discussed, the competition was slightly revised and turned into a 'mysterious event' for this year's outing.
It turned out that the dean was responsible for presiding over the outing conference held by Lizheng Academy every year, and Mu Fuzi, who was responsible for presiding over the mysterious activities, would only announce the content of the mysterious activities that had a certain test on the day of the conference, and it was announced by Mu Fuzi's apprentice Mo Chuyan a few days before the conference began. The reason why Mo Xuezi explained the breaking of the rules was that he knew too much about his master's extremely fast changing temperament, so he informed his senior brother in advance so that everyone could supervise it together.
For this reason, some students of Lizheng Academy feel that Mu Fuzi's 'rapid variability' is his own personality charm, because the character contained in these four words, as long as it belongs to Mu Fuzi's class, there will be no boring place, and it is often full of fun, while some students who have no words silently feel that Mu Fuzi really loves and cares for his apprentice! Therefore, no matter which aspect of the complaint of the Mo students is from, in the hearts of the students of Lizheng Academy, there is no doubt that the glorious image of Lin Shan has been painted again.
However, although the students know that gambling must be done, it is still a secret about how to gamble. Despite this, this gamble between master and apprentice has become the glue for the two colleges to cooperate in organizing the outing conference. For the first time, as a disciple to supervise the master's competition, the two students have long been looking forward to this 'mysterious activity'.
From the time the students knew about this to the official start of the conference, there was only a gap of three or five days, but everyone felt that these three or five days passed really slowly, but one person couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the day of the competition approaching.
On the day of the start of the conference, God seemed to be interested in joining in the fun and enjoyed a great sunny day. Lin Shan rode on the back of his old horse, looking at Mo Ye on the back of a horse beside him that was looking up and neighing a few times from time to time, a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows, and he sighed and said, "Ye'er, where did you borrow this horse?" You're not familiar with it, are you? It's too dangerous, come, Master give you your own horse. ”
"That's not going to work." There was a hidden smug look between Mo Ye's eyebrows and eyes, and he chuckled, "This was specially picked by Senior Brother Fang. His family is a big horse breeder, and the horse he picks out must be the fastest in his family, so Master, don't think about designing to exchange it anymore. As for the safety issue, Senior Brother Fang's family is a merchant horse, not a fierce military horse, of course, because this horse is in the prime of life, so his temperament will be more impatient than the old horse in our family, but compared to Brother Xing's horse, it is much more well-behaved, Master, you can rest assured. ”
Mo Ye stretched out her hand and stroked the forehead of the horse under the seat, this is the action that Mo Ye is used to her own horses, but at this time, the horse under her seat shook a pair of vertical ears and turned her head slightly, as if she didn't like Mo Ye's almost horse sleeve action. However, the old horse under the forest cedar seat beside him neighed softly, as if he understood Mo Yemian's words and sarcastic words, and expressed some of its dissatisfaction.
The master and apprentice each rode a horse, and set out an hour after the departure of the academy students, and did not pass through the Shibanzhong Street in Guò County, but went directly to the venue around Baisha Road outside the county seat. When they arrived at the venue, the students were ready to watch the game. The disciples of Shanshui Academy and the students of Lizheng Academy stood on both sides, one left and one right, and in the middle gave up an open space more than three zhang wide, but with people as coordinates, a track was formed on a grass that had just begun to turn green.
When the students saw Lin Shan and Mo Ye arriving together, they began to shout from afar.
Lin Shan was not the master who taught literature at Lizheng Academy, he only had about one or two classes a day, and the content he taught was actually very far from the scope of the selection of topics for the imperial examination. However, Lin Shan, with his innovative teaching method in every lesson, inadvertently won the admiration of many students in the college. The quick-witted students secretly recounted the whole process of Lin Shan's teaching, and privately communicated with their relatives and friends studying in other colleges, which also received a lot of exclamations. Therefore, at this moment, when Lin Shan took the reins and rode his horse and approached the venue with broken steps, not only the students of Lizheng Academy, but also many students of Shanshui Academy shouted.
"Mu Fuzi, I see it's Mu Fuzi here!"
Lin Shan was not angry, sitting on the horse and nodding with a smile, calmly accepting everyone's warm welcome. However, he didn't laugh for a while, and suddenly a restless shout broke out among the disciples of the Shanshui Academy standing in line on his right, causing Lin Shan and Mo Ye to look sideways at the same time.
Mixed with the different titles of "senior brother" and "senior brother", the disciples of Shanshui Academy shouted loudly in a not very neat voice: "Coming, coming!" ”
When they met for the first time five years ago, Xing Feng was ten years old and Mo Ye was five years old. Now five years have passed, and some feminine features on Mo Ye's body have just begun to develop, but it seems that her shoulders have become thinner and her waist has begun to narrow, but she is still young, and she has been carefully modified in her dress, and this change in physique has not attracted much attention. However, Xingfeng has now grown into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and has been practicing martial arts in Shanshui Academy for more than three years, and his physique, which should have started to pull out branches and seedlings, has become stronger and stronger under the training of martial arts.
When he rode here today, he was wearing an ordinary blue cloth tight-fitting shirt, and his hair was neatly tied up with a blue cloth belt, and his hairstyle was somewhat similar to Mo Ye's, but when he rode on the back of his fierce horse that the disciples of the Shanshui Academy knew the way from, the tough aura on his face that had shown a resolute silhouette was very different from Mo Ye.
After several years of running-in with the Xingfeng, although it has now grown into the prime of life, the wildness is really not small, but when it is controlled by the Xingfeng, no matter how it is wild, it does not want to rebel against the master's intentions, but with its fierce spirit, it has boosted the majesty of the man of the Xingfeng, so that although the Xingfeng has no military armor on his body today, only a cloth coat has a galloping trend, which has attracted the attention of the disciples of the Shanshui Academy from afar.
From a distance, looking at the posture of Xingfeng's galloping horse, it seemed that he was almost unable to contain it, but the disciples of Shanshui Academy probably knew that it should be the wild horse under Xingfeng's seat that was doing trouble
