Chapter 017: Xiu Mu Returns Home (I)
There is no time in the mountains, and there are thousands of years in the world.
Xu Xian entered Muyang Academy, and every day was very busy and fulfilling, like a sponge, desperately absorbing ancient knowledge, practicing the five holy piles, and practicing the art of the piano. Moreover, there is also Tang Wanrong, a beauty dressed as a man, who is accompanied day and night, and she is completely happy.
It wasn't until Muyang Academy's monthly break that he suddenly realized that he had been away from his brother-in-law's house for a month.
In fact, there are other breaks in this month, but they are very short, only half a day every ten days. Muyang Academy's rest system is different from the government school's ten-day rest system, which is half a day off every ten days and two days off in a full month.
This system of rest and bath was set by Zhang Jingming, and the purpose was to allow students to focus more on their studies in the college.
Before resting, Qin Jie found Xu Xian.
"Brother Han Wenxian, what arrangements do you have for these two days of rest?" Qin Jie asked straight to the point.
After a month, Xu Xian and Qin Jie got along very well, and there was a lot less red tape between them.
Xu Xian replied: "Xiu Mu was at home with my sister on the first day, and then there was no more. Senior brother, what do you command? ”
"That's right, I discussed it with a few senior brothers, and I plan to use this opportunity to get together and be your introductory banquet." Qin Jie said, "Senior Brother Yide also participated. ”
The senior brother Yide in his mouth is called Liu Kai, the word Yide, in his early thirties, he has made a name for himself, and he has always stayed by Zhang Jingming's side to study.
"How dare the little brother be?" When Xu Xian heard this, he excused himself.
Qin Jie laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What dare not be, there are few disciples under the teacher's seat, except for the senior brothers who have learned to become officials, there are only a few of our senior brothers left to serve the teacher." We should be united, support each other, and be like brothers and sisters. The old man must have been very pleased to see us like this. ”
"Senior brother has taught me a lesson," Xu Xian bowed slightly, "It is better for the junior brother to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
Then, Qin Jie smiled and helped Xu Xian up and told Xu Xian the specific time and place.
On the morning of the second day, Xu Xian simply packed up his salute and prepared to leave for the city to return to his brother-in-law's house.
Tang Wanrong also went home, her home was far away, and she asked the academy for one more day off, for a total of three days.
The two walked out of the gate of the academy side by side, and saw that the academy was already full of people and traffic.
It turned out that these carriages and horses were all sent by the families of the students of Muyang Academy to take them home.
It is said that the poor are rich and martial, but in fact, the real poor cannot afford to read.
For poor families, it's good to have two meals a day. And reading requires a lot of brain power, and poor children in the case of malnutrition, no matter how hard they study day and night, not only can they not remember things, but their minds are chaotic all day long, and they don't know why.
Only a very small number of truly gifted and intelligent children from poor families can achieve something on the road to study.
Therefore, except for a few students from Muyang Academy, their family background is generally good, and as the future hope of the family, it is normal for the family to send a carriage to take them home.
Tang Wanrong's family naturally also sent a carriage, and it was a two-horse carriage, in addition to the maid dressed as a man, there was also a coachman and two guards riding horses with knives.
Although Xu Xian knew that Tang Wanrong's family scene should be good, he was still a little surprised to see this posture.
"Childe." The maid dressed as a man happily greeted Tang Wanrong.
Behind him, the two guards with knives and the coachman followed and saluted respectfully and shouted, "I've seen Childe." ”
"No need to be polite." Tang Wanrong is very calm and natural.
At this time, Xiao Shen found Xu Xian standing beside Tang Wanrong, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, you're not ......"
"Ahem! Cough! Tang Wanrong hurriedly interrupted Xiao Shen's words by coughing twice, and while giving Xiao Shen a look, she said, "This is my son's classmate and friend, Xu Xian, the word Chinese." Don't want to see you yet? ”
She didn't dare to reveal that she lived in the same room as Xu Xian. After all, the two guards and the coachman were not close to him.
"I've seen Xu Gongzi." Xiao Shen suppressed his surprise, and hurriedly gave Xu Xian a blessing according to Tang Wanrong's instructions.
The two guards and the coachman also saluted.
Xu Xian secretly laughed in his heart that this maid was almost exposed, but he calmly said to Tang Wanrong: "Brother Xian, your home is far away, so I won't delay your trip as a brother." We'll see you again after a break. ”
"I'll see you after a break." Tang Wanrong bowed his hand and saluted back.
After separating from Tang Wanrong, Xu Xian walked down the mountain.
He didn't have a carriage to pick him up, first, his brother-in-law's family couldn't support this pomp, and second, the distance was not far.
On the way down the mountain, the students who also did not have a carriage to pick them up saw Xu Xian, and they immediately took the initiative to talk to Xu Xian, and then walked together.
Although he has only been in Muyang Academy for a month, Xu Xian is already a celebrity in Muyang Academy, and even half a celebrity.
A talent competition with Luo Mu amazed most of the students, and even the gentlemen were amazed by the song "Yongzhu", coupled with Zhang Jingming's disciple status, it was difficult for Xu Xian not to shine.
went down the mountain, and then entered the city, with the different directions of the road, the other students gradually parted ways, and finally Xu Xian was left alone.
When he was about to arrive at his brother-in-law's house, Xu Xian suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look along the sound, sure enough, it was an acquaintance.
"Uncle Ding." Xu Xian turned around and shouted at the middle-aged man who came over.
Uncle Ding looked at Xu Xian, and said with surprise and exclamation on his face: "It's really you, Hanwen." ”
"It's me, what's wrong?" Xu Xian asked a little puzzled.
"It's different! Just now I thought it was a talented man from somewhere. Tsk, if I hadn't watched you grow up, I wouldn't have dared to call you on the street. Uncle Ding exclaimed, "Muyang Academy is really extraordinary, in just one month, our family's Chinese language has been reborn, and we have almost changed a person." ”
When Xu Xian heard this, he was embarrassed, is it so exaggerated?
Actually, he didn't know that his temperament had really changed a lot.
"Mencius: Devoted to the Heart": "Dwelling and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body." ”
Muyang Academy is rich in literary atmosphere, it is the most elite place in the whole Qiantang County, Xu Xian lives there all day long, reading sage words, learning etiquette, learning the six arts, and always unconsciously receiving edification, and his temperament naturally changes greatly.
In addition, his daily refining of the Five Holy Piles is also a very important reason.
In the process of practicing the Five Holy Piles, contemplate the breath and charm of the sages and saints in your heart, and cultivate the aura of Haoran, even if you only get a trace of the charm of one ten-thousandth of the sages and saints, how can your temperament not change? How can they be like ordinary people again?
Therefore, Uncle Ding, who was not very familiar with Xu Xian, almost didn't dare to recognize Xu Xian when he saw Xu Xian on the street.
