Chapter 61: Lonely Mountain Academy

Previous Chapter

The academy He Xinyin mentioned is called Gushan Academy, which is located on Gushan Island in the West Lake. In fact, Wang Shenzhi used to study Taixue in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and his grade was undoubtedly much higher than that of Gushan Academy.

Early the next morning, Lu Peng came to Gushan Academy with He Xinyin's father and daughter. Not to mention anything else, this academy is located in a place like West Lake, and there is no doubt that the scenery is beautiful. Walking in from the gate of the academy, I saw a row of white-walled wings facing each other, with a large open space in the middle, surrounded by flowers and plants.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, and Lu Peng saw more than ten young scholars in white robes standing in the courtyard, arguing about something with an excited expression.

I only heard one of them say aloud: "Benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of heaven and earth, and righteousness is the foundation of all things. Doing nothing, living an empty life like a turtle with a shrunken head, what is the use of being profound? We should actively work hard, devote ourselves to the world, and aim for the unity of the world and the return of the world! ”

Another person sneered: "What good is it to talk about benevolence and righteousness, but in fact it is useless?" Follow the natural path, you Confucian scholars will not understand! ”

Another person rushed to shout: "Don't fight, my heart is the right way!" There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, and even your own heart has not been cultivated, and you dare to talk about the things of the world? ”

Another person smiled and said: "What does the world's major events have to do with us, just study hard!" Can we, the scholars, still go into battle and fight? It's inexplicable how you're fighting! ”

Listening to the noise, Lu Peng secretly wondered, but He Xinyin looked indifferent, as if it was commonplace. Si Cheng covered his little ears, shook his head and said, "Noise! ”

Suddenly, a person turned his head and saw He Xinyin, and immediately said happily: "Mr. He is back!" ”

Most of the people happily rushed forward to greet He Xinyin, and one of them shouted, "Mr. He, you went to the north this time, right?" Tell us about the situation in the north! ”

He Xinyin smiled: "What are you fighting for? ”

An extremely tall young man stepped forward and arched his hand: "Mr. He, we are discussing the current general trend of the world, can Mr. give me some advice." ”

He Xinyin suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is the general trend of the world something you can talk about here?" Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and read! ”

He looked very prestigious, and after dispersing everyone, he led Lu Peng to walk and whispered: "Our academy has a free style of study, and often debates with each other, I thought they were fighting for some academic issues, I didn't expect to say this kind of thing, these guys are really bold." ”

From ancient times to the present, it has been the norm for scholars to talk about politics, and Lu Peng is not unusual, but the words he heard just now are strange and strange, and he is confused.

He Xinyin said with a smile: "There are not only disputes between Confucianism and Taoism in the academy, but also various tribes, which are very complicated, and they often fight for the root cause, which is not surprising at all. ”

As he spoke, he came to the end of the chamber, entered through a small door, and turned a small garden, followed by two rooms.

He Xinyin pushed open the door of a room, walked in, looked up, and said, "Strange, why are you alone?" ”

Lu Peng looked into the house, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties standing up, walking forward with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Qiao Yuan went back to Lujiang for the first time, and no one else has come during the holidays in the past few days." ”

He Xinyin said strangely: "What kind of holiday?" ”

The middle-aged man leaned down and teased Si Cheng, and then said: "Now that the general situation has changed abruptly, many students have dropped out, and the head of the academy simply stopped the class and waited for the situation to stabilize." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Peng and said curiously, "Fushan, where have you been?" ”

He Xinyin frowned and said: "No wonder I only saw such a few people, well, I have something to go back to my hometown, this is one of my nephews, Lu Peng, the word Chengfeng." ”

He said to Lu Peng again: "Riding the wind, this is Mr. Zhou Huang of the Zodiac." ”

Lu Peng looked at this zodiac Zhou, this person's face was slightly red, his face was thin, his eyes were very sharp, he looked at him scrutinically for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Fushan, is my nephew going to study in the academy?" I'm afraid that there will be some time before the resumption of classes. ”

He Xinyin nodded and asked him, "Brother Young Xuan, how is the situation in Hangzhou recently?" ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head and sighed: "There is no good change, although there is a feeling of storm, but no one dares to stand up, it is still so dull." ”

He Xinyin talked to him for a while, then said goodbye and said to Lu Peng: "It seems that this turmoil has spread here, let's stay in peace first and see what changes will happen." ”

When I left the academy and returned to the small courtyard, I saw two people standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance. When I got closer, I saw two little girls, one in blue and the other in purple.

Si Cheng raised his hands and shouted happily: "Sister Blue, Sister Zi! My daddy is back! ”

The two little girls were dressed as maids, and they rushed forward to make a blessing to He Xinyin, and the little girl in purple smiled and said, "Mr. He, Miss ordered us to send Miss Sicheng's things over." ”

She was carrying a large bag in her hand, and she didn't know what it contained. He Xinyin showed a grateful look on his face, and sighed: "There are two of you, please tell the little girl to help take care of Sicheng for so long, He is grateful." ”

The two little girls looked at each other and smiled, and the little girl in blue covered her mouth and smiled: "It's all a family, why don't you be polite first, just be kind to our Sister Yun!" ”

He Xinyin looked embarrassed, Lu Peng looked curious next to him, and the two little girls also glanced at him curiously from time to time.

After moving the things into the house, the two little girls said goodbye and left. Si Cheng stepped forward and hugged He Xinyin's neck and shouted, "Daddy, I want Aunt Yun to be my mother!" ”

He Xinyin frowned and said, "What are children talking about? ”

embarrassedly said to Lu Peng: "They are the maids of a strange woman by the West Lake, this time I have been out for so long, Sicheng is thanks to them to help take care of it." ”

Lu Peng snorted, feeling that the people around He Xinyin were very interesting.
