"Hahahaha." Bai Qichang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you go to the restaurant first and wait, I'll take them to Mr. Xiang gradually, and then turn around and go to meet you." ”

Wu Tong and the others arched their hands and said, "Waiting over there, let's go first." ”

A group of people from Hula went out, but Shen Kang and the others followed Bai Qichang into the door, visited Shaoling Academy, and also met a few gentlemen who knew well from the academy, so they went straight to the backyard to visit Xiang Qi.

The door of the off-plan room was wide open, and Bai Qichang knocked lightly at the door, only to see a middle-aged scholar sitting opposite the door, dressed in a plain robe, reading a book leisurely.

Although Xiang Qi knew that Bai Qichang was coming, he was still dressed in ordinary clothes, looking free and uninhibited, and several people entered the door and greeted each other.

Xiang Zhi's face was thin, a long beard hung down to his chest, he raised his hand to brush his beard, and said: "Qichang, I have already let Mr. Mingxu see the "Qin Praise" you made, and Mingxu asked me to tell you, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you still have to be patient to learn the piano." ”

Bai Qichang's heart was slightly gloomy, but this was also expected, and he smiled and said, "The student is not good at learning, thank you for your advice." ”

Xiang Zhi continued, "I can take you to visit Mr. Mingxu in the future. ”

Bai Qichang's eyes lit up instantly, and his smile became more sincere: "Thank you, sir." ”

Xiang Xiang turned his gaze and said to the three of them: "Sit down, I am an outsider, and there are not so many worldly rules in my place." ”

The three of them sat down, and Wang Lucao said slowly: "Mr. Xiang, I met Mr. Qianjiang in Tianmen Mountain Academy before, and Mr. learned that we were coming to Suzhou Mansion, so he asked us to pass you a message." ”

Xiang Qi's eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled: "Huh? Have you seen Wu Qianjiang? ”

"Yes."

Xiang Qi stroked his beard with a smile and said, "He is counting, don't forget this year's appointment of Jiuhua Mountain?" ”

Wang Lucao smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

Xiang Zhi smiled: "Hahaha, I know." ”

Xiang Qixiao asked: "You are all talents, so how about I give you a question to try your depth?" ”

I didn't say a few words when we met for the first time, and suddenly they were about to be tempted, and the three of them looked at each other. Thinking about it, isn't the purpose of visiting these great Confucians to enrich their talents, and today I was able to get Mr. Xiang's advice, probably thanks to Mr. Qianjiang's blessing.

The three of them happily agreed.

Bai Qichang thought it was just a short meeting, but he didn't expect that this wait would be a whole day.

The articles of the three were pointed out by Xiang Zhi one by one, and it was not until dusk that the three of them withdrew from Mr. Xiang's room.

The breeze was blowing, Jiang Liu stretched his waist, and said with a satisfied smile: "I'm tired of the master, Mr. Xiang is smiling, but he is not smiling, and the three sentences are not far from the way of Confucius and Mencius, I don't even dare to drink more water, so as not to be anxious." ”

Wang Lu said: "Mr. Xiang pointed out the problems of the three of us, and we should be grateful to Mr. ”

Shen Kang nodded and said: "I used to have a lot of conceit, and I played indiscriminately, today is really a long insight, but it's a pity that Mr. will leave Changzhou County in a few days, otherwise I will have to rely on Shaoling Academy." ”

Jiang Liushu smiled and said: "What is to hit the nail on the head, that is called ruthlessness, I am the first time I have met such a stern gentleman, and I have to submit another article tomorrow, where is this study tour, it is clearly the same as studying in the academy." ”

Bai Qichang smiled happily: "Mr. Xiang is willing to give advice, are you still humble to accept?" ”

Jiang Liuxuan smiled and said, "I'm just whining, come, still have to come, hehehe." ”

Bai Qichang said: "Let's go back to the city quickly, Situ They have been waiting in the restaurant all day, and they will inevitably scold a few words for a while, and you will have to write at night, you must not drink, and you will be pushed on me for a while." ”

Wang Lucao and the three of them arched their hands and said, "Thank you." ”

Bai Qichang shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't take good care of you in the past, and now that I come to Changzhou, I can't take care of you anymore, Mr. Haoran is afraid that he will be angry." ”

Hearing that Bai Qichang mentioned Mr. Haoran, the three of them were silent for a while, and after a long time, Jiang Liuxuan asked, "Brother Bai, when will you return to Runing Mansion?" ”

Bai Qichang shook his head and said: "On the day of the soaring day, I will go to Mr. Haoran to ask for my guilt." ”

Wang Lu said: "It's all over." ”

Bai Qichang raised his eyes to look at him and nodded, and the four of them got into the carriage separately and hurried back to the county seat.

For more than ten days, the three young men went to Mr. Xiang's garden with Bai Qichang every day to be taught, and on the fifteenth day, the four of them went to the garden as usual.

Jiang Liusu smiled and said, "In the past few days, I have the feeling of studying together in Luming Academy at that time. ”

Shen Kang said: "It's just that Brother Jiang doesn't dare to be lazy anymore." ”

Jiang Liu's face turned red and said: "I am a person who knows that mistakes can be corrected, and I will not make the same mistakes as before." ”

The four of them talked and laughed and entered the door, only to see a little boy come forward.

The little boy saluted and said, "Mr. is going out for a long trip, the four sons, please go back." ”

"What?" Jiang Liu was surprised and said, "Mr. is just leaving?" ”

Bai Qichang asked, "Has Mr. Xiang ever explained the return date?" Or leave something behind? ”

Xiao Tong smiled: "Mr. only said that the return date is uncertain, let the four sons study diligently, don't waste their studies." He took out two more scrolls from his sleeve, handed them to Bai Qichang, and said, "This is what Mr. left for the four sons." ”

The four of them felt a little lost in their hearts and took the scroll.

The boy then left and disappeared.

The four of them opened the scroll and saw that it was all Mr. Xiang's handwriting, with political commentaries and unique insights on the Four Books and Five Classics, which was a manuscript.

Shen Kang frowned slightly and said: "Mr. is worthy of being an outsider, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and there is no emotional tie of us people in the world, so he can be so free and easy." ”

It can be seen from the manuscripts that Mr. Xiang is already preparing to leave, at least not as anxious as Xiao Tong said, these precious manuscripts can be regarded as parting gifts for the four of them.

Mr. Xiang doesn't like the world, so he leaves, and he doesn't like parting, so he doesn't say goodbye.

Bai Qichang also understood what Mr. Xiang meant, held the book tightly, and said, "Let's go, copy the book." ”

Jiang Liushu smiled and said, "Hahaha, this Mr. Xiang is really a wonderful person, and he left us homework before leaving." ”

Wang Lu said: "Don't want Wuyang to help you copy books, your studies must not be wasted, do you dare to listen to Mr.'s teachings?" ”

Jiang Liu's back was cold, and he said, "How do you know what I think?" ”

Shen Kang smiled: "Those who know you, Brother Wang is also." ”

Bai Qichang said: "Hahaha, it seems that Jiang Liuxuan, the little overlord of Luming Academy, has been subdued. ”

Jiang Liu's nose is not a nose, his face is not a face, and he said in shame: "Don't copy the book yet!" ”

The four of them came to the garden of Shaoling Academy, sat together, quietly copied books, and no one said a word to disturb the tranquility.

"Childe." Ran Ming quietly stepped forward.

Bai Qichang turned his head to look, Ran Ming obeyed his ear, and said a word, Bai Qichang frowned slightly, and his eyes were dyed with three points of disgust.
