Chapter 086: The road is narrow
However, he said that after Xu Xian listened to the "Spring and Autumn" class in the morning, he also had the "Mencius" class in the afternoon.
The teaching mode of Guozijian is different from that of Muyang Academy, but similar to the teaching mode of universities in later generations.
In the afternoon, Xu Xian found the classroom of Mencius early, but he did not rush in, but waited at the door, preparing to pay a teacher-student salute to Hong Ying, the assistant teacher who taught Mencius, before class.
He didn't report until the deadline, and it was impossible for the gentleman who was lecturing to take the initiative to get to know him, so he had to take the initiative to salute him and introduce himself to him.
Xu Xian waited for half a stick of incense at the door of the classroom, and began to enter the classroom one after another from the door.
The gentlemen glanced at him with some curiosity, then withdrew their gaze and continued into the classroom. Xu Xian is not in a hurry to get to know these scholars, and there will be time in the future. When they looked at him, he smiled back.
After another half of the incense, Xu Xian saw five or six scholars coming over together, they laughed loudly, and their voices could be heard from afar.
Xu Xian glanced at the group of scholars from afar, and then stood with his eyes and nose and heart, disdainful of the group of scholars.
Which of the most of the scholars who came in just now didn't walk in with a scroll in their arms and an expression of earnestness? That group of people is so loud and noisy, like visiting a vegetable market, their attitude towards learning can be imagined?
Xu Xian disdained to ignore the group of scholars, but trouble came to the door by himself.
As the group of scholars approached without anyone talking and laughing, and were about to enter the classroom door, a voice suddenly shouted, "Wait! ”
The men stopped, and one of them asked, "What's the matter?" ”
At this time, Xu Xian was still standing with his eyes and nose and nose attentively, and he didn't look up at these people, but he heard a voice that seemed to be a little familiar and laughed proudly: "It seems that I have met the 'old man'." ”
"Xu Xian, after waiting for you for two months, you are finally willing to appear!" The voice sneered maliciously.
Xu Xian raised his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was indeed the "old man", it was Wang Yun, who was unreasonable and insisted that he had robbed the head of the case.
At this moment, Wang Yun's face was raised, his eyes were half-narrowed, and his eyes were full of threat and pride.
It's really a narrow road, and you can actually meet it as far away as Bianjing.
However, after a turn of thought, Xu Xian understood the inevitability.
Wang Yun himself is a relative of the emperor, and although his own child test results did not enter the first-class list, he also ranked eleventh, and it was almost expected that he would become a tribute student.
They are all tribute students, and it is the same year, and it is strange that they did not meet in the Guozijian.
However, Xu Xian just glanced at Wang Yun lightly, then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at his nose and nose just now.
"Haha, what? Cowardly? Wang Yun said arrogantly, "Weren't you very arrogant before?" It's a pity that this is not Lin'an Mansion, and the backer behind you can't reach here! You just live like a year, and you can't wait all day long for this young master to change his tricks and kill you! ”
"Brother Yuan Dengxian, isn't this person the culprit who caused you to lose your little three yuan?" A scholar in a fancy costume looked at Xu Xian and asked Wang Yundao.
Wang Yun said hatefully: "It's him!" If it weren't for the fact that he bent on the occasion to meet He Gang, the prefect of An'an, and made He Gang favor him and point him to be the head of the case, where would the little old man in the back of Wei Zhong pretend to be high and deliberately lower my ranking? ”
"If you can't learn it yourself, don't complain!" Xu Xian, who had been watching his nose and nose, suddenly raised his head and said coldly with disdain, "If you are not convinced, you can have a competition with me in front of all the scholars, whether it is poetry, scriptures, etc., you can choose." ”
Wang Yun resented him, he only thought that Wang Yun was a mad dog and disdained it, but Wang Yun slandered He Gang, the prefect of Lin'an, and Jiangnan Daoxue, he couldn't bear it. These two men were his Bole Lords.
"You! You! Wang Yun was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to respond.
Xu Xian's Mid-Autumn Festival poems can get such an astonishing high evaluation of "this poem should only be in the sky, and there will be no Mid-Autumn Festival poems again", how dare he Wang Yun compare poetry with Xu Xian. In terms of scripture and righteousness, he carefully collected Xu Xian's information, and knew that Xu Xian's understanding of scripture and meaning was also amazing, and even the gentleman of Muyang Academy admired it, so he also did not dare to compare with Xu Xian to learn from scripture and righteousness.
However, after he arrived in Bianjing, he bragged about his talent to a group of fox friends.
Now in front of his fox friends and dog friends, Xu Xian once again put his army, making him lose face, and he can't wait to eat Xu Xian's flesh and blood.
"Don't you dare to fight, do you?" Xu Xian said coldly, "Okay, immediately apologize in public to Lord He of Lin'an Prefect and Lord Jiangnan Daoxue Zhengwei, and take back your slander!" ”
By the end, his voice raised and his tone became stern, bordering on reprimand.
The conflict between Xu Xian and Wang Yun, the scholars in the classroom had already noticed that at this moment Xu Xian severely scolded Wang Yun and asked Wang Yun to apologize, and his words even involved the three members of Jiangnan Daoxue in Lin'an Prefect, and for a while these scholars couldn't hold it anymore, and they all stood up and walked to the door to watch the excitement.
The scholars who came out of the classroom, as well as the scholars who arrived later and had not had time to enter the classroom, were also watching.
In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Yun, who had always had a good face, turned red and purple, and pointed at Xu Xian with anger and scolded: "You, what are you?!" ”
"Xu Mou is just a scholar, and he is indeed not as dazzling as your imperial relatives Jin Gui, but you can't slander the reputation of Lord He and Lord Wei!" Xu Xian said sharply, "Today, you don't apologize to the public, and take back your slanderous words against Lord He and Lord Wei, even if Xu Mou makes trouble in front of Lord Sacrificial Wine, he will never let you leave!" ”
Although the other students didn't know much about the grievances between Xu Xian and Wang Yun, it did not prevent them from sympathizing with the weak man with backbone and arrogance, Xu Xian, and judging by the situation, it could probably be concluded that Wang Yun bullied Xu Xian, who was born as a commoner, with the status of a relative of the emperor.
Therefore, they all looked at Wang Yun with reproachful eyes.
At this moment, a majestic middle-aged man's voice shouted outside, "Why are you gathering here to make a lot of noise?!" ”
When the scholars in the classroom heard this voice, they immediately turned around and fled back to their seats, while the scholars standing outside hurriedly turned around and saluted respectfully to the visitors and shouted, "Students meet Master Hong." ”
Even the few scholars who were with Wang Yun had to salute obediently.
"Student Lin'an Mansion Gongsheng Xu Xian visited Master Hong." Xu Xian respectfully bowed his hand and bowed deeply.
The person who came was Hong Ying, the assistant teacher of the "Mencius" class, and was a six-grade official.
Hong Ying glanced at Xu Xian and found that Xu Xian was extraordinary, but he was very angry, so he said, "You are the Gongsheng who just reported for duty?" ”
"Yes." Xu Xian replied.
Hong Ying asked, "Why are you gathering at the door to make a noise?" ”
Xu Xian immediately explained the matter clearly in a few words, and then said: "The student is willing to have a talent and learning competition with Wang Yun in public, proving that Lord He of the Lin'an Prefect and Lord Jiangnan Daoxue Zhengwei are fair and selfless." If the student wins, Wang Yun must apologize in public and retract his slanderous remarks against the reputation of Lord He and Master Wei. ”
He didn't explicitly let Hong Ying be the master or referee, after all, it involved the emperor's relatives and relatives, he was not sure of Hong Ying's true attitude, and there was no need to involve Hong Ying who had just met. In case Huang Ying was afraid of things and didn't dare to take responsibility, he might be annoyed by him.
