Chapter 157 Taste of the Academy

"Why did Lu Lingjun sigh?"

"Mr. Xun......" Lu Ren looked around and said with emotion: "I was thinking about what the academy should have been like more than ten years ago, but now it is ...... Alas! ”

Xun You couldn't help but sigh when he heard it. As an important symbol of the pride of the family, but now it has ended up in such a situation, will the hearts of its family members be sad?

"I'm ...... this year"

Saying that, Lu Ren was also confused, and hurriedly snapped his fingers and calculated. He was 22 years old when he crossed over, and the time point of his "landing" was in March of the 4th year of Chuping (AD/193), and it is now October of the first year of Jian'an (AD/196), which is three and a half years old. According to the habit of remembering the age of the ancients, Lu Ren will be twenty-six years old in two months, and of course he is still twenty-five:

"I would have been twenty-five years old this year, if it had been more than ten years ago, it would have been the year when a teenager was admitted to the hospital. Sometimes I think that if I had come more than ten years earlier, maybe I would have been able to enter the hospital and study together with Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao. Unfortunately, I arrived too late. ”

In fact, Lu Ren's "come more than ten years earlier" means that the "landing site" that crosses can be more than ten years early. In addition, Lu Ren will express such feelings, but it is the kind of "famous school plot" that modern people generally have, to put it simply, it is the kind of mentality that few students do not want to enter Peking University, Tsinghua University, Oxbridge, and once this mentality is revealed, it is often impossible to fake.

But how does Xun You know this? At this moment, seeing the look of pity on Lu Ren's face because of the pity on his face when he saw Yingchuan Academy being barren, his opinion of Lu Ren changed a little bit. Intellectuals generally appreciate young people who are eager to learn.

After thinking about it again, Xun You said: "Wen Ruo said in the letter that Lu Lingjun was two years old, and if ten years ago was the best age to study. Ten years ago, Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao were also studying in the academy, and you are close to them in age, so you can be your classmates. On the contrary, because I am a few years older because of my old age, I have left the academy and entered the court...... It's a pity when you think about it. ”

Lu Ren's memory of life has long been lost, but he vaguely analyzed that he should not be a student of a prestigious university, which made Lu Ren feel a little regretful. At this moment, in the well-known universities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "famous school plot" suddenly came to mind, and after thinking about it carefully, he said to Xun You with a thick old face: ""Mr. Xun, in fact, more than ten years ago, I Lu Ren was still a little beggar begging on the street, even if I wanted to enroll in school, there was no book fund, and I often felt that this was a regret in my life. Now that I have come here, I can no longer smell the sound of books, and my heart is inexplicably sad...... I have something to ask for, I wonder if Mr. Xun can answer? ”

"Lu Lingjun, please speak."

"Mr. Xun and I are older, and our knowledge is ten times better than that of Lu Ren, which is enough to be Lu Ren's teacher. Here today, Lu Ren dared to ask Mr. Xun to teach a lesson face-to-face to comfort Lu Ren's long-cherished wish. Lu Ren knew that he was abrupt, but he still hoped that Mr. Xun would ignore the boy's rudeness. ”

Xun Yu froze on the spot when he heard this, and carefully hung Lu Ren again, but he felt that Lu Ren's words were indeed from the heart, not in a coy manner. After a little muttering, Xun You nodded and said, "Since Meng Lu Lingjun will not give up, what does it matter if you are cheeky once?" Please let me come in. ”

As soon as Xun You's words were finished here, Cai Yan, who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, poked his head in, his expression full of expectation: "Mr. Xun, Yan has always had this long-cherished wish, can you allow Yan to listen to today's teaching?" ”

“……”“……”

Lu Ren and Xun Yu were speechless. Lu Renxin said, Aren't you Cai Yan always arrogant? What are you doing here? Could it be that you Cai Dacai also have a "famous school plot"?

But if you think about it carefully, Cai Yan may really have this kind of plot, not to mention that it is unrealistic for women in ancient times to want to go to school, only to say that Cai Yan can become a talented woman, which is naturally related to her strong intellectual curiosity, and a person with intellectual curiosity will of course hope to be able to enter a prestigious school to study.

But Cai Yan, as a woman, could not enter any school at that time, which may leave regrets in the heart of a person who is curious. Now that I suddenly encounter such an opportunity, even if it is just a taste of the water, I can at least make up for the regret in my heart a little, so of course I have to try to fight for it. There may still be a chance to fight for it cheekily, but if you don't fight, you really have to regret it for life.

This is also fortunate that it is Cai Yan, with Cai Yong's name to help Cai Yan town, people like Xun You have to sell a few thin noodles more or less. If you want to change to other women, believe it or not, Xun You would have already spoken out. So Xun You didn't say anything at this moment, but broke off a branch as a whip, and then let Lu Ren and Cai Yan enter the study hall.

After a while, the long-lost voice of calligraphy and teaching sounded in the study hall, and Lu Ren and Cai Yan also sat separately, sitting at the desk like a student in the Han Dynasty and listening to the "Analects" that Xun You randomly picked out and taught. Although this is only the foundation of Confucian scriptures, Lu Ren can basically understand two hundred and five, not to mention a talented woman like Cai Yan, but at this moment everyone wants just a state of mind, so Lu Ren and Cai Yan's faces have an innocent smile like a child, and in turn, Xun You is also like returning to the glory period of the Xun family, and there is a knowing smile on his face.

More than half an hour later, the class was finished, and the three of them smiled at each other, and they didn't say much, and everything was just in plain sight.

――――――――――――――――――――

One side of the table, a few glasses of thin wine, the furnace is a light fragrance, and behind the curtain is the quiet sound of the piano. Some are just the elegance of a scholarly family, and there is no luxury and beauty - this is the living room of the Xun family's mansion. However, the thin wine, the light fragrance, and the sound of the piano are just Lu Ren's mind, and the current Xunfu living room only has a seat and a few glasses of cold white. Xun You and his clan had just returned to Yingchuan's former residence for a few days, and they were in a state of ruin, basically nothing decent.

Lu Ren and Cai Yan were sitting in the guest seat at the moment, toasting to each other with Xun You. After the tea ceremony, Xun You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lu Lingjun, just now I gave a lesson in the academy and read the Analects for Lu Lingjun. His Majesty admitted that when he was young, he had to live on the streets begging for food, and he had no money to go to school, but where did the learning in His Majesty's chest come from? ”

Lu Ren didn't say anything about this, but Cai Yan's face was a little ugly, in fact, Cai Yan has been avoiding similar topics as much as possible so as not to embarrass Lu Ren.

However, Lu Ren made up his so-called life experience very early, and there was no flaw in his ambiguous words, so Lu Ren smiled faintly, played with the teacup in his hand and said: "When I wandered all over the world, whenever I met the library school, I would hide under the corridor and eavesdrop when Mr. was teaching. Looking back now, I have suffered a lot, I have suffered too much, I have received too many scorns, and I have heard too much ridicule...... But I've met a lot of good people. Therefore, I know a little bit about the scriptures, but I only know a little about it. ”

Xun You's jaw said: "Although I am in a poor situation, I still don't forget the idea of studying, which is really admirable." Counting Lu Lingjun, he has not been able to read any books completely, but it is not easy to have today's knowledge! ”

Lu Ren shook his head with a smile, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Mr. Xun doesn't need to praise me, I know that I actually have no knowledge at all." Although Ling was wrongly entrusted with an official position by Duke Cao, he was just doing things carefully and did not dare to live up to his trust. ”

Xun You smiled, and he still admired Lu Ren's humility. Looking at Cai Yan next to him, Xun You thought about it and said to Cai Yan: "Miss Cai, as a woman, this journey is very hard. It's getting late today, and I've ordered someone to clean up the guest room, so let's ask Miss Cai to go and rest first. ”

Cai Yan didn't understand that this was Xun You trying to break her up? And if Lu Ren and Xun You want to talk about anything serious, it is not good for them to be stuck here like this all the time, so they are ready to leave after getting up and thanking them. It's just that before leaving, Cai Yan subconsciously glanced at Lu Ren again, made a gesture but stopped talking, and finally bowed to the two before leaving slowly.

After Xun You saw Cai Yan leave, he asked Lu Ren very suspiciously: "Lu Lingjun, ...... between you and Miss Cai?"

Lu Renxin said that you finally asked. Now Cai Yan follows him like this, saying that he is always accompanied by a beautiful woman, but in fact, Lu Ren is embarrassed, if he meets someone who does not explain it clearly, Lu Ren feels very uncomfortable. Moreover, with the concept of etiquette and religion at that time, if you don't explain this matter to Xun You, if you are misunderstood by Xun You, then you will definitely become very troublesome, and you came to Yingchuan this time in order to get the support of Xun.

So at that moment, Lu Ren told him how he rescued Cai Yan from the hands of the Huns, of course, the plot of the concealment was still hidden, and if he almost said that Cai Yan gave him that, then Lu Ren would be confused. And Xun You nodded suddenly after listening to it: "I see, you almost blamed Lu Lingjun." Cai Zhaoji's daughter is also very miserable, Cai Zhonglang was killed by Wang Situ, which is already a matter of regret in the world, and now she is plagued by the Huns...... Fortunately, you saved her, if she was taken captive by the Huns to the north, the consequences would be really ......" said this, shaking his head.

Lu Ren also sighed. What will become of Cai Yan if he is taken captive, Lu Ren is far more aware than Xun You. The current situation is that Xun Yu is just imagining, but Lu Ren has information to refer to.

After sighing at each other, Xun Youfu asked again: "In this way, Ling Jun and Zhao Ji are not husband and wife, just because they are worried about what will happen to Zhao Ji in a trance, so they take Zhao Ji with them when they travel, one is to take care of them from time to time, and the other is to let Zhao Ji borrow travel to soothe her mind." It's understandable, but it can't last long, right? There are a lot of good people in the market, and once this matter is criticized, it will not only damage Lingjun's future career, but also damage Zhaoji's innocent name. ”
