The Southern Zhou Dynasty School Temple is located in the center of the central axis of the imperial city, on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. The purpose is to hope that the scholars and students will follow the path of the sages and sages, and focus on cultivating talents for governing the country. The building of the temple is magnificent, and the eaves are arched, such as Fei Sifei; And the shapes are different, the height is staggered, the blue bricks and small tiles, the red wall slope house, simple and elegant. The main hall is divided into two places, east and west, separated by a natural pool in the middle, pavilions and pavilions, and a wide field of vision. The temple of the academy middle school was set up by Taizu for the imperial examination, so the students were all born in the powerful.

At the beginning of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, there was a difference between men and women, and women were not allowed to enter temples and schools; For nearly 100 years, as the status of women has increased, and generations of monarchs have encouraged women to be knowledgeable and courteous in order to educate their children. Therefore, when the first emperor Zhao Qian was in office, he allowed the daughters of the powerful in the court to enter the temple and learn the etiquette. Because men and women are different after all, and the purpose of admission is different. Under the pretense of carving beams and painting walls in the courtyard, rockery ponds and marshes, flowers and plants are embellished, and trees are shaded. It is divided into two places by natural pond water: the east side is the men's school, and the west side is the women's school. The common people discussed it at first, and then slowly became accustomed to it. Although there are very few women in the folk school, those whose parents are open-minded and open-minded are willing to follow the example of the powerful and send their daughters to school in order to wait for a good marriage in the future.

On the first day of enrollment for Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Ruochen, the children of the temple were all good and strange. There are two reasons: one is that the two are rare twins, the grandson of the protector general and the son of Shangshu; The second is the first appearance of the Ye sisters and brothers among the children of the powerful, which has attracted much attention and is still reasonable.

However, there is one person who makes the children of the school temple look sideways, and the ripples caused are no less than those of the Ye brothers and sisters. This person is the son of the Taifu of the dynasty, Lin Yanning. There are two reasons: first, because the new emperor is young, Lin Yanning has been in the palace with the young emperor since he was three years old, and he was personally taught by the Taifu and did not enter the temple to study. Therefore, among the children of the Imperial City, no one knows him. Lin Yanning suddenly arrived at the temple, and no one knew in advance. The second is that on Lin Yanning's first day of school, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, which makes people unable to distinguish between male and female, causing onlookers.

"You are the son of Taifu?"

"How can you be more beautiful than a little lady?"

"Accompanying the emperor to live in the palace every day is really enviable!"

"What's so interesting about the palace?"

"I heard that the Queen Mother was the first beauty in the imperial city back then, do you look very much like your aunt?"

"You're not really a woman dressed as a man?"

“.......................”

Everyone gossiped around the boy and asked questions. Because the children of the temple are all from powerful families, many of them are marquises. Although the Lin family is now prominent, it has no foundation and is actually a new upstart. Therefore, the young people were not very afraid of their words.

The boy turned a deaf ear, and his dark eyes were full of calm; Cold, arrogant, and ignorant of others.

During the nearly 200 years of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, there were four major families with prominent reputations that have been passed down to this day: Xingyun Zhao, Chenjun Xie, Fanyang Chen, and Nanyang Xu. and ranked in succession, with fame, status and financial resources from high to low.

Xingyun Zhao: Needless to say, it is the inheritance of the royal family of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The brothers and sisters of the monarchs of the past dynasties, the relatives of the emperor and the country, were divided into various places. Under the name of the Xingyun Zhao clan, they controlled nearly one-third of the land and wealth of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Its successive heads of the family are even more mysterious and unpredictable, and their wealth is rivaled by the country.

Chenjun Xie: At the beginning of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of the Xie family, who went out with the emperor, exchanged his life for his life, and made meritorious contributions to saving the driver. The emperor remembered his grace, felt his deeds, gave the surname "Xie", and rewarded the county; Named his son-in-law as "Hou", and the lord was in the shade. Because of its original surname "Chen", the world called it "Chen County Xie".

Fan Yang Chen: Most of the first emperors and teachers came from this, and in more than 100 years, they married into the royal family and became thirteen people after the middle palace; There are dozens of princesses and princesses. The first queen Chen Shishi came from Fanyang Chen's family.

Nanyang Xu Family: Although its status and financial resources are far less than the first three families, it is because of its generations of Hanlin people, a century-old scholarly family, and a gentry family. The Southern Zhou Dynasty respected literature and Taoism, put "filial piety" first, and governed the country with "etiquette". Therefore, the Nanyang Xu family is the last of the four major families.

Although the Qinghe Ye clan has a great general to protect the country, it is still far from being among the four major families.

The Lin family was originally born as a local petty official. Lin Guangyao is the concubine of the family, and his mother is a good concubine of the common people. He has no official and no lord, and he was born in grass. When he was a teenager, he fought hard in the army, sacrificed his life to become a deputy general in the army, and was appreciated by the emperor and was named a general from the first rank of hussars, and his military position was only under the general of the protector; Later, in order to consolidate the glory of his family, he sent his daughter into the palace as a concubine, and he gave birth to a prince and succeeded to the new emperor.

Strange to say, Lin Guangyao's daughter is the queen mother; The grandson is the emperor. However, his official title was still "Hussar General" and he was not promoted to knighthood. In the imperial city, from the powerful families to the common people. All flattered the Lin family on the surface, but in fact, they speculated and ridiculed behind their backs: Could it be that Lin Guangyao has many concubines, and the queen mother and the princess feel sorry for their mother, and deliberately snub their father?

For the reason, outsiders have to gossip and speculate; It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

The mountains and rivers are full of tears, and when can the wealth and glory be. I don't see only the water of Fen today, only the geese fly in autumn every year.

Day after day, year after year.

Three years later.

"He is separated, and he is a seedling."

"The line is vigorous, and the center is shaking."

"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want."

"Hello sky, who is this!"

“....................................”

The sound of reading aloud echoed over the south bank of the Qinhuai River.......

"Ye Zhiqiu! You're sleeping in the school again! ”

The old master shouted angrily, causing laughter........

"Have you memorized this? If you can't memorize it, I will tell Ye Shangshu and Master Xu. The old master's eyes widened, his beard shook angrily, and the students laughed loudly.........

The girl named by the master had just woken up from a dream, and there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes, and her black eyes were like a layer of mist, like the clear waves of autumn water; The fair skin was dyed with a faint flush due to the heat of early summer, and the long black and shiny hair was only run through with a white hosta, and the faint fragrance of the hair was wafting in the air.

Ye Zhiqiu, who had just reached the end of the year, was afraid of making the old master angry, so he finally couldn't hold back the yawn.

Open your mouth and turn your back: "Wang Feng Huang Li."

He is separated, and he is the seedling. The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky! Who is this?

He is separated, and he is the spike of grass. The line is vigorous, and the center is drunk. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky! Who is this?

He is separated, and he is real. The line is vigorous, and the center is like choking. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky! Who is this? ”

Smooth and easy, all in one go. After reciting, Ye Zhiqiu looked calm, his smile was innocent and clear, and he looked at the master squarely, without showing timidity.

Master: "。。。。。。 He stroked his beard with his hand to suppress his anger, and then said helplessly: "Sit down, and recite the next one for me tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Master." Ye Zhiqiu responded obediently.
