Earlier, the people around Gao Fu went out to stumble Tao Wenzhong, but they accidentally killed him. The man ran fast, and hurried back to Gaofu to ask for a solution.

Gao Nu was also scared in his heart, thinking about whether to find someone to top the bag? But when no one in the San Dynasty mentioned Tao Wenzhong's obituary, he learned that Shuntianfu Yin did not investigate thoroughly, but Tao Wenzhong fell to death because of bad luck. And because his death was really ugly, the Tao family kept silent about the matter, and silently led the corpse back to the house to arrange the funeral.

On the other side, more good news came back, saying that Yan Song had fainted in court and had been sent back to the house. Second, he said that Tao Zhongwen, a priest beside His Majesty, had received the holy favor and had already gone to the Ministry of Rites to take office. Three said, His Majesty issued an order to abandon Qiu Luan from the city.

Gao Nu knew that his crisis had finally been solved and he could finally "recover", so he hurriedly sent someone to Runing Mansion to report the safety of the child living in the mountains and villages.

But he never expected that from this day on, he would no longer be able to escape the whirlpool of the court, just like Shen Kang.

In a hurry for a few days, in the blink of an eye, the Xinyang River has been civilized, and the 30 acres of mountainous land in the southwest of Linglong Mountain have been repaired after many days of turning over the soil and forming a huge terraced field. Such a sight is common in the south, but it is a unique spectacle in the north!

The Shen brothers were taking a lunch break and practicing the piano in the small pavilion with their sister Liu Sun, while their enlightenment teacher was meeting their parents in the front hall.

Liu Yuan made it clear that he was about to leave, and said that he wanted to send Shen Chang and Shen Kang to Luming Academy in the county to study.

Shen Cheng and Shen Wang's family had no reason to be unhappy, they were grateful again and again, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and pray.

The husband and wife said goodbye to Liu Yuan, and returned home happily without mentioning it, but said that after practicing the qin and chess on this day, they read the four books and chapters and sentences with Mr.

In fact, Shen Kang can also understand Liu Yuan's teaching method of collecting annotations first and then learning the four books, so the book is Zhu Zi's annotation for the four books.

Liu Yuan put down the book, glanced at the dense small characters that the two of them had written on the blank rice paper, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said, "The hour is almost up, let's put away the pen and ink." ”

"Yes." The two of them stretched out their hands to the four treasures of the Li Wenfang, but they heard Liu Yuan say in a whisper: "Zhu Zi said, read the "University" first, set up its program, and the other scriptures are all miscellaneous in Lixu. I got the "University", and when I went to read his scriptures, I saw that this is the governor of Gewu, this is a righteous and sincere thing, this is a self-cultivation thing, and this is a matter of Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world. ”

He smiled and said, "In my opinion, the same is true, among the four books, the first is "University", then "Analects", "Mencius" is second, and "The Mean" is the last. He closed the page and put it on his desk, and continued: "The teacher is about to leave this place, and I think you two will know about it." Shen Kang wrote the farewell poem, and he knew.

"The teaching of the two of you, I have handed over to my father's friend, this person is broad and clear, has two unitary learning, and in terms of learning, he is better than me in the way of being a person in the world and even an official." He paused slightly, and then said: "Two days later, on March 3, this duke will go on a trip with friends in Linglong Mountain, and if you want to see Haoran Gong, you can report my name at that time." ”

He also said: "Because of the inconvenience of going to the county seat to study, it is inconvenient to stay in the village, so you can stay in Luming Academy." If you find it inconvenient, you can also rent a house. Liu Shu... It is the little guy who picked you up in the past, although he is still young, but he is my Liu's slave, loyal and commendable, and literate, he will follow you in the future, take care of you, but the moon silver is still paid by me. If you have all kinds of urgency, you can ask him to send me a message, although he is not a high authority, but there are always some connections, or he can mediate for you. ”

"But! Don't break the law of the land! Otherwise, I will not spare it! ”

Liu Yuan said in the end, his voice was stern, but his eyes were soft and messy, he had done his best to pave the way for them, and this sincere love was beyond words.

A few words, the last words of the gentleman.

He didn't ask them to achieve fame, but he didn't want to bury them. He stared at the two children heavily, looked at Shen Chang, and then at Shen Kang, his eyes were slightly red, and he got up and said, "Get out of school." ”

Shen Kang stood up, his legs and feet didn't feel sore, and he didn't know when he got used to kneeling and sitting. He cautiously arched his hands, leaned down respectfully, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you, sir, for your advice." ”

There was a slightly flustered footstep in his ears, Liu Yuan had already escaped from the teaching hall, and Shen Kang, for a long time, did not stand up straight.

Tears fell on the desk in front of him, and the ink was smeared into a little ink.

"San'er, Mr. is gone, let's go home."

Shen Kang sniffed hard, wiped the tears from his face, coughed his throat that was covered with tears and snot, and silently put the notes and items on the bookcase into the cloth bag.

The two brothers walked out of the inner hall, and Liu Shu laughed and sent them out of the ink studio. Shen Kang faced the gate of the ink studio, his eyes looked at the quaint plaque, the sun flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to cover the sun.

Slowly, he fell to his knees and kowtowed three times on the muddy ground where the snow was clear. Then without saying a word, he turned and left.

On the road from Mozhai to home, the two of them have walked dozens of back and forth, and it is clearly the spring season, but they feel that today's road seems sluggish.

"San'er, are we going to live in the county in the future?" Shen Chang was a little excited.

Shen Kang thought that his family's fields were almost complete, and he had money to back him up, even if he lived in the county, he could go back to the village to live on the day of his suspension, and he didn't care much about what he did.

He nodded and replied, "As Mr. said, let's live in the academy first." ”

When Shen Chang thought of living in someone else's house, he felt uncomfortable, and said, "Hey, I don't know if the road ahead is good or not." ”

Shen Kang said: "In fact, there is no road on the ground, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." After a pause, he continued: "People have to be a little pretentious to live, if you feel that you are inferior to people everywhere, how can you have any head?" Don't worry. ”

Shen Chang nodded convincingly, and said, "Do you want to go and see that Haoran Gong?" ”

"Do you want to go?"

Shen Chang shook his head and said, "I'm so afraid of these gentlemen, if I can't see them, I won't see them..."

Shen Kang smiled and said, "I want to have a sneak peek, the second brother should come with me, leave a good impression on Mr., and it will also be good for the future." ”

Shen Chang waved his hand again and again, with a frightened look on his face, and said, "I'm going to take the martial arts exam, you can go by yourself." ”

Shen Kang smiled, sighed lightly, and didn't force it anymore.
