Chapter 55: The Academy
"But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, these days I have to leave the county for a period of time to dry Li Yuan and them, you should know how to do it, right?"
Xiao Mo also took a sip of water and wine, this is a good aged burning knife upstairs in Binman, and it is hot in his mouth when he takes a sip. 【&n】
Hearing that Xiao Mo was leaving the county seat, Lin Yiye frowned, but then he was relieved.
"What does Ziheng mean, let me help you block it in the yamen?"
"That's the reason." Xiao Mo nodded: "In addition, you have to fight with Yan Eighteen and Xu Youzhi to deal with the matter of releasing grain, as long as there are no problems with the people here, Shen County will basically be fine, remember, treat the people well, and appease them well!" ”
"Hmmm......"
"And ......"
"What else?"
"Uh......" Xiao Mo said embarrassedly, "I don't have any money in my hand......"
"......" Lin Yiye touched his pocket, took out a silver ingot and handed it to Xiao Mo. Twenty taels, is it enough? ”
Xiao Mo nodded, and said to Lin Yiye: "I'll return it to you in the future, by the way, there is another matter, where is the county school?" ”
Lin Yiye was speechless, and he didn't know where the county school was.
"In the Garden, Zhushan Garden!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Mo nodded, and after Lin Yiye left Binman Building, he came to Zhushan.
Looking at the four big words 'Zhushan Academy' on the door plaque, Xiao Mo nodded, and then walked in.
Zhushan Academy, also known as Xiangyuan, is the only school in Shen County, of course, there are many private schools in Shen County, in the An Dynasty, private schools are like primary schools in later generations, and institutions like Zhushan Academy belong to the country's educational institutions, which is equivalent to higher education.
Because the garden is close to the water, and according to the bamboo mountain, so the structure of the academy is similar to a forest garden, three in and three out, into the gate of the academy, you can see a bamboo forest composed of many green bamboos, and then there is a courtyard, the courtyard gate is written with two big characters of 'Xiangyuan'.
When you enter the garden, you can be regarded as truly entering the academy!
The person who received Xiao Mo was an older gentleman with a little gray hair on his temples, but he was very energetic, and when he saw Xiao Mo, he asked him about his intentions.
When he came, Xiao Mo also asked Lin Yiye about the name of the head of Zhushan Academy, but he forgot it at this time, so he had to say, "I'm here to find the head of the academy." ”
The gentleman asked, "What is your interest looking for the mountain chief?" ”
Obviously, the old gentleman thought that Xiao Mo was also a student who came to study, Xiao Mo smiled: "There is Mr. Lao, if you talk to the mountain chief, just say that Xiao Mo wants to see!" ”
I vaguely remember that Lin Yiye said that the head of this Zhushan Academy is a Confucian scholar and is quite famous in Shen County, so Xiao Mo used the word "begging to see".
When the old gentleman heard Xiao Mo's self-registration number, he was a little surprised at first, then touched his beard and looked at Xiao Mo, and then hugged his fists and said: "I have heard for a long time that the new Shaofu is young and promising, and when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous!" ”
"Uh......" Xiao Mo seemed to think of something, so he saluted the old gentleman and said, "Mr. is the mountain chief of Zhushan Academy?" Zhu Weng? ”
At this moment, Xiao Mo also remembered the surname of the mountain chief, but he forgot his name, so he honored Fu as Zhu Weng.
"Hehe......" The old gentleman smiled and nodded to Xiao Mo: "Lord Shaofu came to the academy this time for the poetry meeting of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion the day after tomorrow!" ”
Xiao Mo nodded.
Yes, the old gentleman is the head of Zhushan Academy, Zhu Yongping, the word is safe.
Zhu Yongping should have known Xiao Mo's deeds from the Zhilan girl, after the two met, Zhu Yongping was also polite to Xiao Mo, the two talked about the poetry meeting, Zhu Yongping said: "In fact, this time, the soft incense pavilion held this grand event of the six counties to raise the text, but also the meaning of the Futai people, Luzhou north through Jinggi, south of Suzhou and Hangzhou, near Jiangning, is the Central Plains, the new appointment of the Futai people, but also hope to have more political achievements, such poetry will actually be to show off the prosperity of the state capital, the ridiculous thing is, Our Shen County is still in dire straits! ”
The old man is the old man, he speaks straightly, he is not afraid of offending people, looking at his appearance, he is not very cold about the poetry meeting held by the soft incense pavilion.
Xiao Mo also nodded, he also knew about the temper of an old master like Zhu Yongping, and there was no need to talk back to him, seeing Zhu Yongping say his opinion, Xiao Mo was neither humble nor arrogant: "What Zhu Weng said is that the disaster in Shenxian County is a disaster to the people from heaven, not done by manpower, and it has nothing to do with the state capital, but it is indeed a bit inappropriate to hold a poetry meeting at this time!" ”
After a pause, Xiao Mo said again: "But Lord Futai is also fortunate to meet in his later life, the adult is upright, and he should not be so mediocre, according to the later students, Lord Futai is concerned about this year's autumn exam, and wants to take the school Luzhou These students." ”
Zhu Yongping nodded: "The old man thinks the same way, but setting up the poetry meeting in the Soft Fragrance Pavilion is a bit extravagant!" ”
The old master is indeed quite stubborn, no wonder with Zhu Yongping's reputation, he still stays in Shen County, it seems that there are some reasons.
Xiao Mo smiled helplessly: "It's not for us to decide, this time the late students came to the academy, one is to meet Zhu Weng, and the other is to ask Zhu Weng, this time we are in Shen County, which students will be sent to the state capital to participate in the poetry meeting?" ”
When Zhu Yongping heard this, he looked like a matter of course: "Of course, there are several famous students in Shen County, in terms of Jingyi, there are Gongsun Huan, and in terms of poetry, there are Wu Biqing and Ouyang Zhi, and these three people will be decided for the time being." ”
Nodding, Xiao Mo said: "It's inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the academy later, since Zhu Weng has decided, then when he leaves the day after tomorrow, Xiao Mo will send someone to pick up ......."
After the matter was discussed, Xiao Mo got up and planned to leave, but Zhu Yongping still wanted to take Xiao Mo and go to the academy to meet the students, but Xiao Mo refused.
"I wish Weng a warm welcome, Xiao Mo shouldn't have refused, but now Shen County is in a difficult situation, and the adults are running around outside for the sake of the people, and the affairs in this county have to be dealt with by Xiao Mo, so let's do it another day!"
Using the people as an excuse, Zhu Yongping was not easy to refute, so he had to send Xiao Mo out of the academy.
Back at home, Xiao Mo found Yu Niang, Yu Niang pouted, puffing out of anger, which made Xiao Mo a little funny, and asked, "Are you still angry?" ”
Yu Niang was not angry, but a little depressed.
After Xiao Mo went to the Yamen, Hu Yunxue was afraid that Yu Niang would be angry, so she pulled her to her home, comforted her, and also inquired about Miss Zhilan.
"I heard that I admired Ziheng's talent and learning, and said that I wanted Ziheng to write poems for her." Yu Niang can say whatever she thinks in her heart.
When Hu Yunxue heard this, she asked, "How did she know that Ziheng could compose poems?" ”
Xiao Mo's poems, I haven't seen them myself, Hu Yunxue felt a little sour in her heart.
Yu Niang is the same: "It is said that when he was in the Li Mansion, Ziheng wrote a poem. Speaking of this, Yu Niang's face turned red: "I have been married to his family for three years, and I have never seen what Ziheng's poems look like." ”
"What poem?" Dr. Hu didn't know where he came from.
Yu Niang thought for a while and said: "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor...... That's all I know. ”
"There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor!" Dr. Hu shook his head and read a sentence, but after a moment, his eyes dilated and he stayed there with his mouth open.
After being surprised, Dr. Hu asked Yu Niang: "This poem is really written by Ziheng?" ”
Yu Niang said: "It was read by the Zhilan girl when she was leaving, it seems to be ...... It was made by Ziheng! ”
Doctor Hu glanced at Hu Yunxue when he heard this, Hu Yunxue has a blue heart, has been influenced by Dr. Hu since she was a child, and she also has some knowledge of poetry.
Speaking of which, Dr. Hu is a bit mysterious, he is not from Shen County, he came to Changle Town with Hu Yunxue, who was still a baby, more than ten years ago, and made a living by treating people, but Dr. Hu is polite and knows a lot of knowledge, and his daughter Hu Yunxue is even more generous and knowledgeable, as if she is a woman from a scholarly family.
Hu Yunxue was also shocked by Xiao Mo's poem, and thought that Xiao Mo could come up with the idea of mining and building windmills, which should be a bit talented, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mo's poem was actually written so well.
Confidants in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other! These two poems are atmospheric and far-reaching, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are famous sentences through the ages, Xiao Mo opened his mouth to be such a poem, can he not surprise Hu Yunxue's father and daughter?
Nodding to Dr. Hu, Hu Yunxue knew what Dr. Hu meant, her face turned red, and then said to Yu Niang: "If this is the case, it seems that the Zhilan girl really admires Ziheng, such a talent, I am afraid that these talents in Luzhou are not as good as Ziheng." ”
"Huh?" When Yu Niang heard this, the sense of crisis suddenly came again, she knew very well that in this era, talented people are so sought-after, what she used to think about day and night was not to marry a talented man?
"What then?" Yu Niang was anxious, so she asked Hu Yunxue, forgetting that Hu Yunxue was also her potential rival......
Hu Yunxue lowered her head, thought for a while, and then took Yu Niang's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, this Ziheng is young and promising, and talented, I'm afraid that the Zhilan girl is sincere, it's better to be like this, this time Ziheng went to Luzhou, and I will follow, how about helping you watch him?" ”
"You?" Yu Niang came back to her senses, and she was sober.
Hu Yunxue is also one of her rivals, can she rest assured when she goes? Yu Niang wanted to refuse Hu Yunxue's proposal, so she said, "It's better not to bother Yunxue's sister......"
After that, Yu Niang said with a straight face: "I'll go by myself!" ”
Hu Yunxue shook her head when she heard this, pulled Yu Niang and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't go, you and Ziheng have made a family appointment, and it is inconvenient to show up with Ziheng at this time, besides, ...... You also went to the state capital, who will take care of the eldest lady? ”
Where did Yu Niang say Hu Yunxue? Besides, what Hu Yunxue said was also true, thinking of the marriage that she and Xiao Mo were still dragging on, as well as Meng Qiuxiang's illness, Yu Niang had no choice but to be discouraged, and agreed to Hu Yunxue and asked her to accompany Xiao Mo to Luzhou and help her 'watch' Xiao Mo.
However, for Hu Yunxue, Yu Niang was not at ease, and this time Xiao Mo went to Luzhou to participate in the poetry meeting, Yu Niang also wanted to go, since she was a child, she has not participated in any poetry meeting.
Yu Niang's heart was also depressed.
So as soon as Xiao Mo came back, he saw the jade girl with her face pulled!
