Su Ziheng and Xiaoya went back to Xishi Street and began to think about how to make money. Suddenly, I heard a commotion in front of me, and the crowd on both sides of the road was in chaos.

Su Ziheng looked at it, and saw several high-headed horses galloping past on the street in front of him, with a very arrogant attitude, and he didn't care about the safety of the crowd in the downtown at all.

At the head was a man dressed in a white gold-trimmed silk robe, with shaved hair and braided hair, heavy gold rings on his earlobes, a purple belt around his waist, and animal skin boots on his feet. Several big men followed behind him also dressed up similarly, but the color of the clothes was different.

A group of people rode their horses and roared past the city, leaving behind the sound of laughter, turning a deaf ear to the angry scolding of the people on both sides of the road, and walked away.

Looking at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in front of him, Su Ziheng frowned, pulled over a passerby beside him, and asked, "This brother, may I ask where this group of Fanbang is from, and why are they so arrogant?" ”

The passer-by was also dressed as a scholar and a student, and he was very blind to the behavior of that group of Fanbang, and first accused them of their evil deeds, and then turned around and said: "I heard that they are envoys sent by the Mengyuan Kingdom in the north to make peace, and they have stayed in Xining Mansion for a few days to rest for a while, but they are so unruly. It seems that this state is a state, and I don't understand etiquette at all. ”

After finishing speaking, the man looked surprised again: "Hey, isn't this Brother Su Zhexian?" Brother Fool heard that you were injured a few days ago, and I wanted to go to the house to visit, but I was entangled in family affairs, and I wanted to wait until the past few days were busy before going, but I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Su Ziheng pulled the corners of his mouth, he didn't expect that he was so lucky, he grabbed a person on the road at will, and he actually knew him, but he didn't know what his name was, so it was embarrassing.

In desperation, Su Ziheng gave up his hand to him and said, "This brother, I'm really sorry." The younger brother suffered a head injury some time ago and suffered from soul loss, and he doesn't remember many things in the past. ”

Song Jianming looked at Su Ziheng in surprise, and seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he shook his head and said regretfully: "How can this be, the township test will be held next year, and Brother Su Xian can catch up?" ”

Su Ziheng sighed: "It is estimated that it is difficult, the younger brother has plans to give up next year's township exam." A separate decision will be made when the injury improves. I don't know my brother's surname? ”

Song Jianming hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Foolish brother Song Jianming, and Brother Su Xian are classmates, and they are students under Mr. Yuzhang of Yuzhang Academy. Brother Xian should have an impression of Mr. Yu Zhang, right? ”

Su Ziheng smiled bitterly: "I really don't hide it from Brother Song, the younger brother really can't remember." ”

"This ......" Song Jianming didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to reach out and pat Su Ziheng on the shoulder. I was full of emotion in my heart, this Su Ziheng is one of Mr. Yuzhang's most optimistic students, he has said in private more than once that if nothing happens, he will be able to win the township test next year. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, he suffered a head injury and suffered from soul loss.

Song Jianming had a regretful expression on his face, but he was secretly relieved in his heart. Although he and Su Ziheng are classmates, their relationship is not too close, just a general friendship. Xining Mansion is located in Liangzhou, the folk customs are strong, but the style of study is not as rich as Kyoto and Jiangnan, and the number of places in each township examination is naturally limited.

Don't look at Song Jian's next year, Su Ziheng is a few years older, but his academic performance is far inferior to Su Ziheng. Last year, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he also fell to Sun Shan several times, and he was difficult to pass the exam. After two years of hard study, I have made a lot of progress in my studies, so I want to try my luck in the township test next year. In case you are pitiful one day, you will be lucky enough to get ahead.

Who would have thought that Su Zhe, the most promising winner in Yuzhang Academy, actually planned to give up next year's township exam, so wouldn't it be one less competitor, and his hope of winning the lift would greatly increase by one point.

Without direct competition, Song Jianming's attitude towards Su Ziheng became more and more affectionate, and he almost spoke happily. Su Ziheng didn't know what Song Jianming was thinking, but seeing that he was so enthusiastic, it was rare to meet someone who could understand the past, and naturally he would not let go of this good opportunity.

Song Jianming put his arm around Su Ziheng's shoulders and said familiarly: "Can the virtuous brother have a place to go for a while?" ”

Su Ziheng shook his head and said, "No, I just feel bored at home and go out for a walk." ”

Song Jianming raised his eyebrows at him and smiled: "In this case, the foolish brother will take you to a good place, and you have never been there." ”

Su Ziheng said with a surprised face: "I don't know what kind of place to go to make Brother Song so respectful?" ”

Song Jianming smiled, "Don't ask, brother Xian, even if you come with a foolish brother." Saying that, he led the way, leading Su Ziheng and Xiaoya, as well as another of his scholars, towards a luxuriously decorated high-rise building.

Along the way, Su Ziheng asked him about his past intentionally or unintentionally. Song Jianming also knew everything about him, and told him all the information he had learned. Among them, there are many interesting stories about many students and masters in the academy, and occasionally some current affairs are mentioned to Su Ziheng, so that Su Ziheng has a preliminary impression of the era he lives in.

Of course, most of the time Song Jianming was talking, and Su Ziheng was listening.

"Brother Xian, I don't know if you saw the 'Nine Stars Alignment' some time ago?" Song Jianming suddenly lowered his voice and asked softly in Su Ziheng's ear.

"Nine stars? What the hell is this. Su Ziheng muttered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Wasn't the little brother injured some time ago, but he has never seen this 'Nine Stars Alignment', if the elder brother doesn't think the little brother is lonely and unheard, the little brother is willing to hear about it?" ”

Song Jianming remembered that Su Ziheng suffered from soul loss, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and he didn't even remember something as sensational as "Nine Stars Alignment". With a long sigh, he explained: "Nine stars are aligned, and a hundred saints are out!" I originally thought that this sentence was just a legendary story of the Jixia School Palace, but I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I really saw the wonder of the Nine Stars. ”

"Kinoshita Academy? It's a familiar name, isn't it the Jixia School Palace of Qi during the Warring States Period? Su Ziheng couldn't help but guess like this, since there are "Analects", "Book of Songs" and "Spring and Autumn", it is not surprising that there is Jixia School Palace.

Song Jianming sighed, "This Jixia School Palace really deserves to be the first school palace in the world and the source of a hundred schools." Since the matter of the Nine Stars is true, presumably the Hundred Saints are not a lie. In today's world, there are only a handful of people who can be called saints. In this way, there will be more disputes in this world. Originally, the world was not peaceful, and now the people are even more miserable. ”

Su Ziheng was stunned, he originally thought that the birth of the saint was a good thing, but listening to Song Jianming's meaning, this nine-star alignment has become a symbol of the calamity star, just like the glow of confusion and guarding the heart.

The phenomenon of Mars "staying" in the heart is a great omen in the eyes of the ancients, and Su Ziheng knew that this was a superstition without scientific basis. In his mind, this "Nine Stars Alignment" should also be a natural astrological phenomenon, but people in this world don't understand this, so they will have this far-fetched statement.
