In the second year of Zhongping, the ninth day of September, Chongyang.

As soon as the sky was bright, Xiahe City, which was full of festive colors, was already lively, and one after another four-wheeled carriages drove out of the streets and alleys outside the city, and rushed in the same direction to Langyatai, which is bordering the sea in the southeast.

Compared with the long-term drought and no rain and the withering of the Han Dynasty, Langya, which has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful seas and sky, is like a fairyland on earth, and thousands of celebrities and gentlemen gathered from all over the Han Dynasty take the four-wheeled carriage provided by local merchants free of charge, bathed in the golden autumn and wind, and face the green and flowers in the eyes, chanting and chanting from time to time under the relaxation and joy, full of emotion, and more people are asking each other which car the master Zheng Xuan and the monarch Liu Xi and others take in? Is Liu Zijian, who started from scratch both civil and military, the same down-and-out prince as Liu Ziyang? After the ceremony, are bachelors from all over the world allowed to stay in the college to devote themselves to their studies?

Chaoyang Dongsheng weather is new, the scale of the magnificent atmosphere of Langya Academy is full of people in front of it, every carriage comes to the front of the three-door heavy eaves archway built with Langya mountain stone will stop, out of the carriage of the famous scholars from all over the country one by one is solemn, very chic swing two fluttering long sleeves, respectfully bent to the archway to salute.

After the ceremony, look up, have to the archway above the central inlay of the monarch Mobao "Langya Academy" four large characters of the seal body sigh, sigh after the monarch dignified introverted simple and transcendent font, and marvel at the whole archway shape is thick and simple and elegant, under the archway two one foot five feet high Zhenshan stone lions, but also attracted bursts of admiration.

Passing through the archway, along the two rows of cypress in the middle of the smooth mirror-like road to go forward a hundred steps, is the wide square of 49 zhang in length and width where scholars and thousands of people stand in various places, almost all of them are looking up at the three-storey library platform with a height of 24 and a width of 36 zhang in front of them, all of them are shocked by its magnificence, and the exclamations and praises come and go one after another, and they are endless.

"The monarch is here! Master Zheng is here—"

"Lord Zijian and Lord Ziyang are here too—"

"Oh my God! I saw Master Bing and Guanzi, and finally I saw ......"

Three wide, steady, and unluxurious four-wheeled open-top carriages slowly passed under the academy archway due south, crossed the road made way by the cheering crowds into the square, circled around the nine-foot flower bed in the center of the square, and then slowly drove east into the neatly arranged school hall area due east, and slowly stopped under the towering elm tree in the middle of the two rows of school houses.

Liu Xi, the monarch in the first car, was dressed as an ordinary scribe, and beside him was Zheng Xuan, who had gray temples and a phoenix eye, and the two of them were down-to-earth with the support of their respective disciples, and both walked to the boulder under the root of the tree, and Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and Guo Yuan and others in the second car also got out of the car and followed, and read the two lines of poetry engraved on the boulder together:

"There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea! Good! It shows the true meaning of reading, good! Bingyuan cheered loudly.

Zheng Xuan turned to Liu Cun and Liu Ye, who were striding over: "Zijian, Ziyang, which famous person's masterpiece is on the boulder?" ”

"Whoa! Right here, the handwriting of his eldest brother Zijian, the font of Long Feifeng's dancing power and majestic qi was also written by him, but he didn't want to sign it, insisting that it was not a poem made by him. Liu Ye introduced happily.

Zheng Xuan stared at the embarrassed Liu Cun and nodded frequently: "Zijian's mind is really very comparable, just these two lines of Taoism have exhausted the best poems that scholars have worked hard to preach and pursued all their lives, and they can be spread all over the world and will be passed down through the ages!" ”

Liu Cun smiled, arched his hand and thanked him guiltily, and everyone praised him again, Guoyuan also asked Liu Cun to write a banner and give it to him, and he wanted to hang it in his study to encourage himself from time to time.

Liu Cun hurriedly invited everyone to visit the school, and demonstrated to everyone the convenience of writing on the blackboard with chalk, and everyone sighed again, and soon took back the benefits, and went up one after another to try their hands with interest, saying that it was a hundred times more convenient to teach students in this way.

After walking half a circle and returning to the same place, Bing Yuan, who was tall and thin and had a clear appearance, was very satisfied, and pointed to the wide school buildings on all sides and praised loudly: "Zijian, Ziyang, these ten school buildings, inside and out, are not simple!" Blue bricks and gray tiles, stone foundations, square and simple, simple and heavy, rare, rare! Look at the surroundings, the secluded paths are continuous, the ancient trees are towering, and it is extremely elegant and comfortable, how did you do it? ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "The students just supervise the production according to the drawings, and don't care about anything else." ”

Everyone looked at Liu Cun, and Liu Cun smiled: "To tell the truth, you teachers are not allowed to scold, mainly because the money is not enough, so you can only build how to be strong, and you don't dare to carve beams and paint buildings!" There is also a pity, the production of transparent glass in Zhushan is small, and the top layer of the library can only be equipped with a small piece of glass splicing glass window, and the rest can only be temporarily pasted with window paper, and then slowly change it when the glass output comes up in the future, I'm really sorry! In addition, the student dormitory has not repaired the warm kang, and before the arrival of winter, the students will send a batch of new charcoal stoves to ensure that the students taught by Mr. will not be frozen. ”

Liu Xi remembered the scene at the latest banquet when Bingyuan generously refuted Liu Cun's fallacy of "no agriculture, no work, no strength, no business, no wealth", and smiled from ear to ear.

Although Zheng Xuan met Liu Cun for the first time last night, he was not as stubborn as his old friend Bing Yuan, and after talking deeply with Liu Cun, he liked Liu Cun's frank and honest personality very much.

Bing Yuan didn't care, he understood what Liu Cun meant, and he also knew that Liu Cun and Liu Ye made the school so simple by no means a lack of money, but had deeper considerations, this kind of deep meaning that was not explicitly said but contained between the bricks and the road was also what Bing Yuan liked, so he praised Liu Ye and Liu Cun for their intelligence, and praised the two of them for their hard work.

Liu Cun saw that there was still more than half an hour before the start of the celebration, so he asked this group of world-famous Confucians to take a look at the library table? Zheng Xuan and the others happily agreed, and hugged Liu Xi to move forward together.

Turning through two corridors and passing through an elegant garden with a small pavilion, everyone came to the east door of the library and praised the two thick gates and the anti-slip carvings on the bluestone steps.

Entering the corridor on the first floor of the towering and wide interior, Liu Ye took the initiative to introduce to everyone: "The left and right rooms will be used as the official rooms of the resident doctors and teachers of the college, and the same is true on both sides of the west corridor, there are 16 rooms in the east and west, four of which are suites, and the second floor is used for book collection and reading. ”

"What if I don't have a library voucher?" Zheng Xuan's disciple Guo Yuan asked.

Liu Ye explained in detail: "You can find the chief of the mountain or the resident doctor to handle it, if you don't know the chief or the doctor, you can ask any bachelor studying in the academy to guaranture, this law is designed to protect the classics of the academy, there is no other meaning." ”

Zheng Xuan nodded: "Yes, every book is very precious, especially the classics, which are not easy to come by...... Hey? What is the red silk covering the long table in front? ”

When everyone came to the hall on the first floor, they didn't care to admire the woodcut reliefs such as "Meng's Mother Three Migrations" on the four high walls, nor did they notice that the eight huge columns painted brown and red were all attracted by the red silk on the long table.

Liu Ye looked at Liu Cun with a smile, it can be said that except for the two of them and Liu Zhen from Zhushan and more than thirty people, no one has seen anything on the table.

Bing Yuan has a straightforward personality, seeing that everyone stood in front of the long table and no one opened the red silk, Liu Cun and Liu Ye only smiled and didn't move, and simply stretched out their hands to pull away the red silk.
