Chapter 144: The Four Artists
Tang Nuo was obviously quite surprised that the dignified brocade-clothed prince did not know about the existence of Qionglin Academy, but he didn't say much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yang Ning was a little puzzled and asked, "Miss Tang, you seem to know a lot about Qionglin Academy, is that Mr. Zhuo called Zhuo Qingyang?" ”
Tang Nuo nodded slightly, and said: "He is a generation of great Confucians, as far as I know, Qionglin Academy was run by him, and he is the only dean of Qionglin Academy so far. Thinking thoughtfully, he said softly: "He has traveled all over the world, not only in Qionglin Academy, but also in other places, and there are many students. ”
"I see, it seems that this Mr. Zhuo is really amazing." Yang Ning smiled: "He shouldn't be young now, right?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I'd be nearly seventy years old." Tang Nuo said: "It seems that Mr. Zhuo's health is okay, and he is still running around for the academy now." ”
"Have you seen him?" Seeing that Tang Nuo knew Zhuo Qingyang very well, Yang Ning couldn't help asking.
Don Nuo said: "I haven't seen it. After a pause, he said softly: "My mother has seen and received Mr. Zhuo's teachings. ”
"Oh?" Yang Ning was surprised: "It turns out that your family and Zhuo Qingyang also have a relationship. ”
"When Mr. Zhuo first traveled the world, he taught his mother calligraphy." Tang Nuo said: "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the world's four uniques, Mr. Zhuo's calligraphy is one of them, and he and the other three have become four art masters!" ”
"Four Artists?" Yang Ning was stunned, he didn't expect that Tang Nuo was not only good at art, but also knew all about these things, only then did he know that Tang Nuo was young, but he had a lot of real materials in his stomach, so he asked: "Miss Tang, what kind of masters are these four artists?" ”
Tang Nuo thought for a moment before he said: "Mr. Zhuo is known as a calligraphy saint, his calligraphy is outstanding, needless to say, there are also paintings, and he is also in the country of Southern Chu, so you naturally don't know about Ximen Shenhou!" ”
Yang Ning picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the cup, and said embarrassedly: "Miss Tang, if I say that I don't know Ximen Shenhou and have never heard of it, you ..... Do you believe it or not? ”
Don Nuo said very simply: "Don't believe it! ”
That's fucking embarrassing!
"But..... But I really don't know. Yang Ning even felt that his old face was a little feverish, "Miss Tang, who is Ximen Shenhou?" ”
Tang Nuo looked at Yang Ning in surprise, and suddenly asked, "Are you really the prince of Jinyi?" ”
Yang Ning thought to herself that this girl had seen something, and she was shocked, but she still said calmly: "I am not a son of brocade, how can I sit here and eat?" ”
"If you don't sit here and eat, I will never believe that you are the son of a brocade." Tang Nuo said very bluntly: "You are in the capital, and you are the prince of the Marquis of Jinyi of the Chu State, it is impossible not to know the name of the Marquis of Ximen." Simon Shenhou is Ximen Wuji, and Ximen Wuxian is the leader of Shenhou Mansion. ”
"Shenhou Mansion?" Yang Ning vaguely felt as if he had heard this name, but he couldn't remember what this Shenhou Mansion was.
"In addition to the calligraphy saint Zhuo Qingyang and the excellent painting skills of the West Gate without a trace, the Northern Han Dynasty Changling Hou Beitangqing is also among the four scholars, his piano skills are extraordinary, as early as many years ago, Beitangqing's piano skills are almost unmatched." Tang Nuo said slowly: "After many years, his piano skills should have made more progress, but there has been no news of Beitangqing for many years. ”
Yang Ning sat up straight, his eyebrows stretched, and said with a smile: "Beitangqing, I know, he is the Marquis of Changling of the Northern Han Dynasty, I heard that he is very good at fighting, and he has a ...... under his command Hmm, blood ..... What kind of army is bloody, it is very powerful, and the black scale battalion of our Chu State has fought a bloody battle. He was still very familiar with the name of Beitangqing, Marquis of Changling, and Duan Canghai had mentioned Beitangqing to him.
"Blood Lan Army!" Tang Nuo said: "The Black Scale Battalion should be an army created by your Jinyi Marquis, but it has been completely wiped out, and it has been defeated in the hands of the Blood Lan Army. ”
Yang Ning waved his hand and said: "It can't be said that it was defeated, the Black Scale Battalion was ambushed and attacked by the Blood Lan Army, and both sides were defeated." ”
"But as far as I know, the Black Scale Battalion no longer exists, but the Northern Han Blood Lan Army still exists." Tang Nuo said: "Seeing blood with the knife, collecting the knife and caressing the qin, it is Beitangqing." ”
"And the last one?" Yang Ning asked: "The last of the four masters is naturally a skilled chess player, so who is it?" ”
"Beitang Phantom Night!"
"Beitang Phantom Night?" Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "This name also sounds like a Northern Han person." ”
"He is the Marquis of Muyun of the Northern Han Dynasty."
"Oh, so it's Beitangqing's brother?"
Tang Nuo shook his head and said: "No, Marquis Muyun and Marquis Changling are both royal families of the Northern Han Dynasty, but the two are uncles and nephews. ”
"Uncle and nephew?"
"Marquis Changling and the current Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty are brothers, and Marquis Muyun is the uncle of the current Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty." Tang Nuo turned out to be a treasure of the people of the two countries, "Everyone in the world knows the Marquis of Changling, but not many people know the Marquis of Muyun." Mu Yunhou is low-key, it is said that even the high-ranking officials of the Northern Han Dynasty have not seen Mu Yunhou all the year round, in recent years, there are even rumors that Mu Yunhou has passed away, but the Northern Han royal family is not open to the public. ”
"Why is that?"
Tang Nuo glanced at Yang Ning and asked, "Do you know about the Nine Heavens Tower?" ”
"Of course I know." Yang Ning said with a smile: "The Nine Heavens Tower is the place where the Northern Han Dynasty accepts strange people, the purpose is to help the Northern Han Dynasty to find out information, and there are many spies of the Nine Heavens Tower here in the Chu State. ”
He was naturally quite familiar with the Nine Heavens Tower, and the Wood God Monarch of the Nine Heavens Tower had close contact with him, and he couldn't forget it if he wanted to.
Tang Nuo said: "The owner of the Nine Heavens Tower is Mu Yunhou, and the world only knows his name, but he has not seen him. ”
"It seems that the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty is very talented, a Beitang Qingqin is very good, and this Muyun Hou Beitang is very good at night chess." Yang Ning sighed: "The members of the Northern Han royal family seem to be very elegant? ”
At this moment, when he heard a bang, Gu Qinghan pushed the door in, and when he saw that the two were talking happily, he immediately smiled, twisted his waist and walked over, and said, "Why do you just talk and eat quickly." He said to Tang Nuo again: "Miss Tang, I have sent someone to Yong'an Hall, say hello to that side, you can go over at any time." ”
Tang Nuo said: "Thank you Madame for arranging, if you can, then I will go over tomorrow to have a look." ”
"Tomorrow?" Gu Qinghan said: "That's not in a hurry, you rest for a few days first, Ning'er is back, let him accompany you around the capital." ”
Tang Nuo shook his head and said, "I came to the capital to see incurable diseases, not to see this city. ”
"Oh, in that case, let Ning'er send you over tomorrow." Gu Qinghan was still smiling like the wind, and looked at Yang Ning: "Ning'er, you will accompany Miss Tang over tomorrow." ”
Tang Nuo had already gotten up and said, "Madam, I've already eaten, I'm going to Yong'an Hall tomorrow, I'll go and prepare to clean up first." ”
"You haven't eaten a few bites." Yang Ning said: "Let's eat some more." ”
Donno just shook his head slightly, didn't say much, and turned away.
After Tang Nuo left, Gu Qinghan lowered his voice and said, "Ning'er, I see you guys have a good chat, shouldn't I come in?" ”
"Sanniang, what is Mr. Zhuo doing here?" Yang Ning didn't answer, and directly changed the topic: "What kind of silver did he come over for?" ”
Gu Qinghan said: "Mr. Zhuo has a deep relationship with our Hou Mansion, when your father and your third uncle were young, the old Hou Ye invited Mr. Zhuo to teach in the mansion, and the two of them studied poetry and books under Mr. Zhuo for three years, and later Mr. Zhuo wanted to open Qionglin Academy, and the old Hou Ye strongly supported it. ”
"It turns out that he taught his father and third uncle." Yang Ning was surprised: "I heard that Qionglin Academy is all for girls to go to school, why did Mr. Zhuo think of opening a academy for women?" ”
"Don't say it's you, when you opened the academy at that time, you were shocked, you said everything, and there were rumors." Gu Qinghan said with a smile: "At the beginning, no girl entered the academy, do you know who was the first to enter the academy?" ”
"Who?"
"Your mother!" Gu Qinghan said: "Your mother was the first girl to enter the academy, and she ....... later!" ”
After Yang Ning entered the Hou Mansion, almost no one mentioned the mother of the prince of Jinyi, this seems to be a taboo topic, Gu Qinghan did not mention it before, at this time, when he heard Gu Qinghan suddenly mention it, he pricked up his ears, and wanted to know more, but Gu Qinghan only said one sentence, and seemed to realize that this topic was not suitable to say more, smiled, and said: "Later, there were princes and nobles who sent the women of the family over one after another, and the number of them became more and more, and at the most, there were hundreds of people in Qionglin Academy. ”
"I ...... My mother studied at Qionglin Academy? In this way, Mr. Zhuo is also his mother's teacher? Yang Ning asked.
Gu Qinghan sighed slightly before saying, "I heard that she has studied in Qionglin Academy for a few years, and her writing is very good...... That's it, let's not talk about that. After a pause, he said: "You don't need to spend a penny to enter the academy to study, as long as Mr. Zhuo thinks that his talent is acceptable, he can enter the academy." In addition to Mr. Zhuo in the academy, there are many gentlemen, the imperial court has issued a decree, Qionglin Academy set up its own door, without Mr. Zhuo's consent, no matter who it is, even the prince is not allowed to enter without permission. When the old marquis was alive, he made a rule, the Jinyi Marquis Mansion subsidized five hundred taels of silver to the academy every year, and the thunder could not move, in addition to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was also five hundred taels per year, and a few others were more or less different, but they have all formed a convention, and the academy can also get thousands of taels of silver every year. ”
Yang Ning thought to himself that a few thousand taels of silver was not a few, a few thousand taels a year in a academy, eating, drinking, and even paying salaries to other gentlemen, that was more than enough.
"Don't think it's much." Gu Qinghan seemed to see Yang Ning's thoughts, "Qionglin Academy will have some activities every year, and the cost is not low, and in addition, it will also select outstanding poems and songs in the academy to compile a book, which will also cost a lot of silver." Originally, we should have sent the money from the academy a long time ago, but because the general had passed away, the matter was delayed, and I almost forgot about it. ”
"The money has already been given?" Yang Ning asked.
Gu Qinghan shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhuo came to the door and said that he was looking at Mrs. Tai, so naturally he couldn't make it clear, if I sent the silver now, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Zhuo came to ask for silver?" Mr. Zhuo is a noble person, that will only offend him. I had to wait a few days before the money was delivered. ”
Yang Ning thought that Gu Qinghan was still very thoughtful, and said with a smile: "I have seen that I will personally send it over for two days, and it can be regarded as an apology to Mr. Zhuo." ”
