The man in the white shirt hugged his hands around and said, "I'm really sorry for you, the family teacher Qiu Yuantang has something important to ask you, let you wait for a long time, Zhao Yijing is here to punish himself with three cups to apologize." ”

The delicate maid immediately brought the silver plate, and the man in the white shirt immediately drank the sake in the three jade cups on the silver plate without hesitation.

Seeing this, the anger in everyone's hearts disappeared completely, but they praised the righteousness of the man in white shirts.

"Since it is Mr. Qiu's instructions, Senior Brother Zhao should listen for a while."

"That's right, Senior Brother Zhao didn't make a big mistake, but let him punish himself three times for me, but it's not ours."

"yes, yes."

The man in the white shirt put down the jade cup and said with a smile, "You really shouldn't have to wait for a long time, okay, without further ado, I hereby announce that the unicorn banquet has officially begun!" This year's unicorn banquet is the same as usual, I will make the question, and you can talk about it. ”

"All of you came from all over the world and gathered together in Guanhai, a sacred place for scholars. Today, I will use the word 'Watching the Sea' as the title, and you can all speak freely. By the way, I would like to ask you here, why do you want to come to watch the sea? In other words, how are you going to spend time in Guanhai? By the way, the lotus flowers in Tsuruhashi have recently started to bloom again, so you can go and see it. ”

The hall immediately fell into silence, and many people couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, although the white-shirted man's mouth was only two words, but the meaning involved made it difficult for many people to think about.

……

"This Zhao Yijing is quite interesting." The girl in the green dress said softly.

"Don't you have a grudge against people?" Su Ye raised his eyes and smiled.

The girl in the green dress nodded generously and admitted, "That's right." But the fact that this man was interesting did not in any way affect my hostility towards him. ”

Gan Tang, who was wearing a light yellow shirt, couldn't help but say, "This person has resolved the resentment in everyone's hearts in a few words before, and it can be seen that this person still has some skills." ”

The girl in the green dress raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just because of that old Mr. Qiuyuan Tang, I heard that this year, it is this old Mr. Qiuyuan Tang who is the chief examiner of the admissions assessment of Guanhai Academy, Zhao Yiyi used him as a cover, naturally no one dares to ask, these people are too late to scold that old gentleman, how dare they offend?" Besides, Zhao Yijing is not wrong about one thing, this old Mr. Qiuyuan Tang is indeed his mentor, so he can hold this unicorn banquet has nothing to do with it. I thought he was just borrowing this unicorn banquet to recruit some talents for his Nanshan Poetry Garden, but his performance was indeed a little unexpected to me. The theme of watching the sea is really an interesting topic. ”

Speaking of this, the expression of the girl in the green dress couldn't help but become a little serious, and finally smiled indifferently.

"I see, this Zhao Yijing has a big appetite. The soldiers are dangerous, and they are not afraid of capsizing in the gutter? ”

Gan Tang smiled lightly when he heard this, "Since he dares to do this, he must have enough confidence." What's more, his purpose today has been achieved, hasn't he? ”

The girl in the green dress snorted lightly and said no more, and at this time, someone stood up, as if they had a lot to say about the word "watching the sea".

……

The first to stand up was a man in a brown coarse coat with a face full of vicissitudes, the man's hands were full of calluses, and a pair of straw sandals were tightly tied to his feet, and the straw sandals were even covered with a lot of mud, it was hard to imagine that such a person could be a scholar.

The desk next to the man who was full of wind and frost was empty, and everyone seemed to isolate this man intentionally or unintentionally, but the man didn't seem to care about it, when the man stood up first, everyone's eyes were a little surprised, because in the eyes of many people, the man was not a person who liked to be in the limelight, and even Zhao Yijing couldn't help but look at this rough man seriously.

"Your Excellency is Song Lian, the first genius in Jingzhou?" Zhao Yijing asked.

The rugged man shook his head and said, "Song is just a little scholar in Shuihua Township. ”

"Brother Song is too modest, Brother Song's talent and fame have spread throughout the ancient continent, I don't know what Brother Song thinks of the word 'Guanhai'?"

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, it's just that the senior brother just asked me why I came to watch the sea, everyone's thoughts will be different, Song is just here to talk about what I think in my heart."

"Reading is a distant thing for our little village, and even when I was a kid, I never saw what a book looked like. Until I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Ji Lin. ”

The rough man's voice was hoarse, but no one felt harsh at this time.

"I only remember that Mr. Ji Lin came to our village by chance and thought I was a little smart, so he agreed to teach me to read and write."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Ji Lin is a great Confucian, and it is my honor to be able to listen to his lectures under his tutelage. Although Mr. Ji Lin did not accept me as a disciple, I also felt satisfied. So every day I walked a hundred miles to the place where Mr. Ji Lin lived, and the weather was also freezing. Mr. Ji Lin gave a very good lecture, and he would teach me carefully whenever I didn't know something. One winter, I walked in the deep mountains and valleys, stepping on several feet of heavy snow, and my hands and feet were so cold that I couldn't even tell if they were cracked. When I arrived at the school where Mr. Ji Lin taught, my limbs were even stiff and could not move, and Mr. Ji Lin's old servant poured hot water on me and covered my whole body with a quilt, and it took a long time for my fingers to move slightly. When Mr. Ji Lin knew about my situation, he asked me to be a scholar next to him, and built me a hut in the courtyard where he lived, so that I could save hundreds of miles of time and listen to Mr. Ji Lin's lectures. ”

"Today, my brother asked me why I came to watch the sea? Because Mr. Ji Lin said that you can learn real knowledge in Guanhai Academy, so I came. Another important reason is that Mr. Ji Lin was also a student of Guanhai Academy, and I wanted to see what it was like to teach a Confucian like Mr. Ji Lin. ”

Zhao Yijing quietly looked at the rugged man for a long time, and finally sighed, "There are not many people like Brother Song in this world, and I admire them." Recently, the lotus flowers in Heqiao are in full bloom, so why don't you let me take Brother Song to watch it tomorrow. ”

The rough-clothed man shook his head and said, "Song Lian is just a vulgar person, he can't appreciate the beautiful scenery, and I hope that the senior brother won't mind." Now that it is approaching the end of the year, there is a book in my hotel that has not been finished, this book was intended to be read at the end of the year, because the invitation of the senior brother has only been delayed until now, and the senior brother is asked to let me go, I will finish the book as soon as possible, write down the feelings after reading and send it to Mr. Ji Lin, this is my agreement with Mr. Ji Lin, please forgive the senior brother. ”

Zhao Yijing was slightly stunned, and then regained his composure and said, "Since he is Brother Song's mentor, of course Senior Brother will not stop him, so how can he blame Brother Song." ”

The rough-clothed man nodded, then lowered his eyes to look at the food on the desk and asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother can allow me to take these foods away?" I was accompanied by a scholar who had been starving in the hotel for a long time, and I wanted to bring him the food. ”

Zhao Yijing immediately beckoned a small servant, "Quick, prepare more food." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, you don't have to do anything else." The rough-clothed man wrapped the food on the table with a clean linen cloth prepared and tied it around his waist, and then slowly walked to the door and saluted Zhao Yijing.

"By the way, senior brother, I wonder if Mr. Qiu is still safe?"
