The autumn rain continued, and it was the first day of the new year of another month.

It was very quiet in Xingzhiyuan, and most of the other classmates had taken advantage of the vacation to go down the mountain.

Mei Xiaoren stood by the window, scooped out the food from the porcelain jar in his hand and fed the pigeons, and said to it from time to time: "Eat more, and then you will have to fly so far." ”

Ye Zhi stopped when he entered the door, holding a book in his hand, and looked at Mei Xiaoren for a while, but he didn't make a sound.

He comes every day at this time of day and bumps into adults feeding pigeons, and he doesn't know what the pigeon is for.

Mei Xiaoren turned around after feeding the pigeons, saw Ye Zhi in front of the door, and instructed him: "I'm going to go to the Jingdao Temple in a while, if it rains heavily, help me bring it in." ”

Mei Xiaoren pointed to the pigeon coop hanging in front of the window, and went out after speaking.

From the time he came in to the time Mei Xiaoren left, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, but he just clenched the book in his hand more and more.

If you want to go to the temple, you should be begging those gentlemen, but he can expect the result, because the adults have touched this wall countless times

Mei Xiaoren held an umbrella and walked forward in the drizzling rain to the Jingdao Temple.

In the past, she used to visit the gentlemen one by one, asking for their help. She was so persistent that everyone in the academy knew that she wanted to take the country and wanted to go crazy.

But this time it was different, Mei Xiaoren found a place in Bishop Zhou's study, which was the first time she met Bishop Zhou alone after returning to the academy.

When Bishop Zhou saw her, he said, "Since you want to learn, you should come early, as a teacher will not break your word, why should you bother to ask for other gentlemen." ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head, "Lord Bishop, the student doesn't want to make up any knowledge now. ”

"Then you," Bishop Zhou was puzzled.

Mei Xiaoren's eagerness is well known to everyone in the academy, why did he say that he didn't want to learn

She arched her hand and said, "If the student wants something, he hopes that the bishop will fulfill it." ”

"Something"

"Sword."

Su Li's sword was taken away on the day Wen Bin was injured, and at that time she couldn't protect herself, and after getting out, she stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and when she returned to the academy, she was still on the cusp, and she didn't dare to rashly collect any evidence. Now she uses the illusion of studying and rumors to bury herself, and finally has the opportunity to secretly display her position.

Bishop Zhou didn't say whether to give it or not, and asked: "What do you want the sword to do?"

"In the eyes of the students, the bishop is worthy of the word integrity, since the bishop can think about Su Li and let him return to his hometown safely, can he be given justice?"

"You want the teacher to investigate this matter thoroughly"

Mei Xiaoren shook his head and said, "Don't embarrass the bishop, I want to try it to see if there is a providence in the world, and see if I can find out the cause and effect before the end of the year." ”

Bishop Zhou was worried: "I haven't been able to find out the reason for this matter, I am afraid it will be difficult for you alone, and the final exam is approaching, how can you be distracted." ”

"Leave it to fate."

Mei Xiaoren relieved Bishop Zhou's heart with four words. Bishop Zhou had no hope that she would finish at the end of the year, and he wouldn't really care if she was distracted or not.

She took the sword, wrapped it in the cloth she had prepared, and returned to Gyochi-in.

Ye Zhi was still sitting in the room waiting for her. Mei Xiaoren could tell from Ye Zhi's solemn expression that he seemed to have words hidden in his heart.

"What's the matter, old Ye," Mei Xiaoren asked, putting the sword in the inconspicuous corner.

"Is it that the adult is being again?"

Ye Zhi paused, he couldn't bear to mention that the adult was rejected by those gentlemen, and sighed when the adult had been so ashamed.

Since Mei Xiaoren decided to hide it from Ye Zhi, he naturally had to pretend to be confused and answered: "Yes, but I believe that sincerity is open, and there will always be gentlemen who will be moved by me." ”

Ye Zhi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "If the adults don't dislike it, let me teach the adults." ”

When Mei Xiaoren heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile, moved that Ye Zhi would come up with such a method.

If it had been when she wanted to ask for learning before, she would have been very happy, but now, what she wants is really not just learning on paper.

Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi with a smile and didn't speak.

Ye Zhi thought that the adults were suspicious of him, and lowered his eyes and said, "Don't hide it from the adults, I have been in Xie Yuan." ”

Mei Xiaoren's smiling face froze, just because he couldn't believe it in his heart.

Xie Yuan, the top of the township test, can be an official

Mei Xiaoren was surprised, because Sectarian Sun was Xie Yuan, and he was also a priest in the official school without a background, why Ye Zhifei not only did not become an official, but also almost lived on the street with his mother

"Old leaf, how are you?"

Ye Zhi's eyes glanced at the ground uneasily, and said helplessly: "After the township test that year, I took my mother around to seek medical treatment, and I haven't been back to the township for a long time.

"But you still lift people, you can continue to take the tribute"

"At that time, my mother's illness came and went, how could I leave her to ask for any future." Ye Zhi looked up at her and gradually laughed, "After I met the adult, I put down those thoughts, I just want to follow the adult and repay the adult's kindness." ”

Mei Xiaoren frowned, and said seriously: "Old Ye, you have tormented me, if I had known that you were a great talent, I would not have wronged you to be my master if I said anything." ”

"Adults are as kind to Ye Zhi as a mountain, no matter what adults ask Ye Zhi to do, Ye Zhi is not wronged."

Mei Xiaoren felt sorry for Ye Zhi, but fortunately, she already knew this, and she would definitely help Lao Ye to find her future in the future.

Now that she happened to lack someone to help, she picked up the book on the table and stuffed it to Ye Zhi, "Okay, please leave it to you." She pointed to the door again, winked and smiled, "In the future, we will close the door and learn slowly." ”

Ye Zhi thought at first that the adults closed the door to study because they didn't want to publicize the matter, but who knew that within a few days of his lecture to the adults, everyone in the academy knew that the adults in his family had found a teacher and were studying behind closed doors every day.

Later, the adults complained to Bishop Zhou that he was ill, stayed in the room to recuperate, and let him rest in the Xingzhi Yuan, and closed the door as usual to give lectures and deliver meals, but the room was empty.

He didn't know where the adults had gone.

The weather is getting colder.

After Ye Zhi performed here day after day for more than ten days, his family came back at night, and then opened the pigeon cage and released the pigeon. Before that, the adults tied a note to the pigeon's leg.

He stood behind Mei Xiaoren and asked, "This is a carrier pigeon"

"Well, I sent it to a friend from afar, and I want to send him some messages."

Mei Xiaoren stood under the empty pigeon cage for a while, guarding the window until the morning sun was slightly dewed, and the day was dawn.

Upper Beijing.

A scroll of notes reached him.

It says "everything is ready", but the pen is not light, indicating that he is not completely sure in his heart.

Wei Shuying, who sent the note, also wondered, whether it was a fold or a letter, Chu Yu rarely had a second look, but these few words made him read for a long time.

"What are you two talking about" Wei Shuying didn't understand, "Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, what is the east wind?"

Chu Yu asked Xingyun to take a brocade box, took out the note that had already been written inside, and handed it to Wei Shuying, "This is Dongfeng." ”

Wei Shuying knew that he wanted to send this note back to Jinzhou, but there were fewer words on it, only the words "fifteen".

He can't understand it, but Brother Mei can understand it

"Would you like to add a few more words?"

Chu Yu stood under the porch with his hands in his hands and shook his head. There is no safe way to send a letter, and the more ambiguous it is, the safer it is.

Wei Shuying put away the note and asked: "Wen Shanhai asked His Majesty to make a prince without saying a word, and now His Royal Highness King Yu hates you to the core, and you are not in a hurry at all."

"Why should I be in a hurry" Chu Yu turned his back to Wei Shuying and said indifferently, "Whether he hates it or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"I think you're used to being hated, and I don't think there are many people who hate you." Wei Shuying laughed dryly a few times and sighed, "Yes, if you have any other instructions, if not, I will go back and send a letter to your lordship." ”

"Yes."

Chu Yu said this word slowly and calmly. Wei Shuying knew that his tone of voice indicated that what he was about to command was a big deal.
