Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Courtyard of the Academy Outside the City

Just inside and outside Pengcheng, under the situation that all parties are moving, all kinds of changes are brewing, and the time has finally come to the day of Guijing's screening. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, inside and outside the Guijing Academy, which is located on the outskirts of the city, there are people coming and going.

"The turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms have made private learning prosperous, and Guijing Academy is also a member of this wave of private learning.

Chen Zhi and Chen Wu got down from the Chen family's ox cart, looked at the academy in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, before coming, he also learned some information about the academy from the Chen family's channels.

Guijing Academy, said to be a academy, is actually no different from a small village, not far from Chenzhuang, the clan settlement of the Chen family outside the city - the Chen family has several mansions in the county seat, but such a huge family has many side lines, so there are villages outside the city.

The same is true of Guijing Academy, the head of the academy is the landlord himself, with a lot of land deeds under his name, continuous fertile fields, and many inputs, so that he has the financial resources to support the operation of the academy and let the students inside study without production.

Moreover, this Guijing Academy has a great reputation, in addition to some qualified disciples from the poor sect who took the initiative to come to study, there are also families in and outside the city and in the surrounding counties and counties, who send their own children to study.

In Pengcheng County alone, there are more than 30 children of families who study in Guijing Academy, such as Peng Lin and Peng Qi of the Peng family, who once studied here, and were also the most influential figures in this academy back then.

However, this Guijing Academy is not very famous in the entire Xuzhou territory, and it is not that you will accept it if you send someone over, and there must be a certain assessment and consideration, so the number of Chen children in this academy is scarce.

Chen Zhi and Chen Wu, the master and servant, walked straight into the academy, looking at the verandahs of the houses along the way, many teenagers and young people were discussing and reading books, filled with the atmosphere of youth and academics.

"The atmosphere of this private school is really good, judging from the clothes, there are many poor students, which is also one of the ways for them to gain knowledge. It's a pity that I died too early in my last life, otherwise with the method of examination and examination that I implemented in the army, I could have made arrangements for the imperial examination in advance, but in the end, I didn't have time to implement it. ”

Chen Zhi regretted in his heart, but in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, let the family sit big, and the social environment was there, even if he really lived a long life, it might not be realized, and he also considered this in his heart.

The atmosphere of private learning, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period has gradually risen, Buqi, Kui Xi, Xiang Lang and so on are all representatives, the development to the present, with the rise of metaphysics, Confucianism out of control, the revival of a hundred schools, the erosion of various doctrines around the private learning, the trend of a hundred flowers gradually appeared, Guijing Academy is based on Legalism, but also with the banner of Confucianism, but there is some taste of respect for metaphysics.

Chen Zhi thought as he walked inside.

When the people along the way saw him dressed in a gorgeous costume, they knew that he was a child of the family, and most of the strange faces who appeared here today were here to participate in the screening, so no one was surprised, at most they took a look at it and went about their own business.

Soon, a young man in Tsing Yi came over and asked Chen Zhi about his intentions, and learned that he was here to participate in the screening, so he asked him to show his name post.

As soon as Chen Zhi showed his name, the little guy respectfully led the way in front of him, leading Chen Zhi towards the academy, but halfway through, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Wu, and said apologetically: "So that Young Master Chen can know that only you can enter this screening, and the next person will have to wait outside." After speaking, he gave Chen Wu an apologetic look.

"In the end, it is a little guy cultivated by the academy, and no one will be blamed for such a behavior." Chen Zhi did not object to this rule, so he explained a few words to Chen Wu, and he followed the little guy all the way, and soon came to an independent courtyard.

This courtyard occupies a large area, located in the middle of the academy village, in addition to the house, there are rockeries, pavilions, but it can be seen that they have been damaged, it should be a few years ago the traces left by the military disaster, on the side of the rockery, it is a bay, there are rows of seats and low tables, a cursory look, there are more than 30 sheets, no need to ask to know, it is the place of screening and assessment.

Chen Zhi was not the first to come, when he came, there were already more than a dozen people gathered here, forming small groups talking in twos and threes, and he also saw Liu Gang among them.

As soon as this Liu Jiazi saw Chen Zhi coming, his face was overjoyed, and he was about to come over to talk, but someone was faster than him.

"Seventh brother, you are finally here, I wanted to go to you in the morning, but my father said that I couldn't disturb your thoughts, so I came over with Sixth Brother first."

The person who greeted Chen Zhi was Chen Xuan, who was ranked tenth in his generation, who was originally quite close to Chen Yun, but immediately drew a line after Chen Yun lost power, his father was Chen Yuan, the sixth master of the Chen family.

Chen Xuan was followed by a young man, with a beard and a steady expression, this person's name was Chen Zhi, ranked sixth in Chen Zhi's generation, Chen Luo's own brother, and the eldest son of Chen Xun, the fifth master of Chen, already had some prestige in the Chen family.

As soon as the two of them shouted like this, the people around them also paid attention, and one after another eyes full of scrutiny fell on Chen Zhi, looking up and down, most of them showed surprised and puzzled looks.

"This is indeed a little different from the past."

"It must be different, I knew it last time I attended the Zhang Mansion dinner."

"Have you heard about yesterday's Bai family case? The gambling cessation poem has already begun to circulate. ”

"The white tigers are all defeated in his hands, tsk, it's terrible."

"I don't know if this man's knowledge can be as good as his means, but his knowledge is no better than anything else, and he must study hard."

……

Such a conversation sounded all over the courtyard, and Chen Zhi, who was in the middle of the topic whirlpool, talked to the two cousins as usual, and after a while, Liu Gang finally seized the gap and interjected.

The behavior of this outstanding son of the Liu family made many children of the family who were watching puzzled.

"Liu Gang seems to have a good relationship with Chen Zhi."

"Could it be that Liu Yi and they have already accepted Chen Zhi?"

"I don't think so, Liu Yi only greeted him at the beginning, and he didn't mean to talk about it in the past."

The children of the family are the most sensitive to changes in the wind direction in the circle, and are affected by the social atmosphere and the nine-grade system, and attach great importance to their status, so if they don't understand the situation, they will not easily show their attitude to prevent lowering their style.

In fact, there are also superior and inferior people in this group, such as the brothers of the Liu family and the Peng family, who are located at the top of the small circle, representing the direction of the younger generation in Pengcheng.

Now, Liu Gang went to greet Chen Zhi, but Liu Yi didn't go over, which inevitably made people think about the deep meaning inside, but they didn't know it, but Liu Yi was uncertain in his heart at this time.

"I used to talk to Chen Zhi, will he ignore me? After all, I didn't have a relationship with him before, with his ability to talk and laugh with many celebrities, he may not care about me, if I was snubbed by him in the past, let others see it, it will undoubtedly damage my reputation, but my brother is close to Chen Zhi, and he may have been treated politely by him in the past......"

After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt regretful.

"I knew this was the case, when my grandfather told us to make friends with Chen Zhi, we should have followed the order, and there would not have been so many troubles." Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Gang who was talking to Chen Zhi with a smile, and couldn't help but feel envious.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and then I heard many students from Guijing Academy saying hello to someone.

"Senior Brother Peng, you're here."

"Brother Peng, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same."

"Brother Peng, needless to say, you will definitely shine again in this screening, haha."

Calling loudly, without saying much, the people in the courtyard will know who is coming.

Soon, I saw a group of people walking slowly around Peng Lin and Peng Qi brothers.

The two brothers of the Peng family, when they were students in Guijing Academy, were the people of the hour, and after returning from school, they often came to discuss with their classmates, and their influence was great in the academy, and they were admired and respected.

Seeing the majesty of the two, many people in this courtyard showed envy and eagerly wanted to greet the Peng brothers.

When he arrived at the door, Peng Lin stopped, turned around and arched his hand to the people around him, and said with a smile: "Everyone, today's screening, it's better not to make such a big splash, Peng Mou is here to thank you for your concern, let's wait for the screening before reminiscing." ”

"Cheng, I'll wait for Brother Peng's good news."

The crowd surrounding him dispersed in laughter, and the Peng brothers turned around and came in, and the children of the families in this courtyard also went over to pay their respects, and it was lively again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be polite." Peng Lin smiled and greeted everyone one by one, but in the end, this gaze fell on Chen Zhi, revealing a determined look.

"Today, we must distinguish ourselves from those who are superior in knowledge!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting, "The mountain chief and the examiner have come out......"

As soon as the voice fell, seven or eight people walked out of the courtyard house.
