Chapter 454: Old Man Huajun
As usual, Fang Yun continued to read and study in the second half of the night, took time to sort out the content to be talked about tomorrow, used the lesson plans that were only available in later generations, and did not fall asleep until it was close to the morning, and got up in good spirits after sleeping for an hour.
After breakfast, the people of the Academy of Etiquette of the Academy sent a ceremonial officer to bring a lecture robe, and then instructed Fang Yun on the etiquette of lecturing.
The opening of the Yue Xi Academy is a grand event in the school palace, and the process is a little complicated.
As soon as the hour came, Fang Yun pushed the door out, and the carriage for the students of the upper house stopped in front of the door. The school palace is huge, and it will be much more convenient for the carriage to travel.
Without waiting for Fang to get into the carriage, he saw Qiao Juze, who also lived in the upper house area, hurrying over with the scholar.
"Brother Fang, if you have something important to discuss, come with me to the Yue Xi Academy. Qiao Juze held the front hem of the white-clothed Jinshi uniform with his left hand, and beckoned to Fang Yun with his right hand.
Fang Yun noticed that Qiao Juze's face was not good, so he stopped and waited for him to come.
Qiao Juze lowered his head and ordered, and the scholar stopped and walked towards Yuexiyuan.
Qiao Juze walked to the carriage and said, "You first." ”
Fang Yun was not polite, picked up his robe and walked into the carriage, and Qiao Juze then entered.
The coachman flicked his whip, the tip of the whip snapped, and the carriage moved slowly.
Qiao Juze said in a low voice: "You have to be careful today. ”
"Why did Brother Qiao say this?" Fang Yun asked.
"Xiao Guogong was punished by thunder in the Lingyan Pavilion yesterday, holding a grudge, and I don't know what he said, King Kang invited the calligraphy master of the Three Realms of Yanzhou overnight Mo Zhibi, in addition, Jiao Song, the master of the Three Realms of the Qin Dao, who was good friends with Zuo, and Ruan Ling, the master of the Three Realms of Painting who had received the great favor of the Lei family, will also come. ”
Fang Yun's pupils involuntarily dilated, his eyes shone brightly, and he asked, "Is this true?"
In the realm of Jingguo, their affairs can be hidden from others, and it is impossible to hide them from our Chen Shengshi family. Even if the ancestor is about to reach the end of his life, he is still a half-saint!" Qiao Juze's tone revealed a little pride.
Fang Yun sighed softly and said, "This matter is troublesome. The names of these three people are like thunder, don't say that what I said is wrong. Even the slightest flaw would be found and reprimanded by them, enough to make my first lecture a joke. ”
Qiao Juze said: "These three people are all masters, and it stands to reason that they won't be too inferior, but you must know that the Lei family hates you to the core, and Zuo Xiang and King Kang even think that you are obstructing Qingguo and Wuguo from carving up my Jingguo, in case you use drastic measures, you are afraid that you will not be able to bear it." ”
Fang Yun asked, "Is there a way to stop the three of them from coming?"
"No, the three of them are not only eligible to enter the Joy Academy. And they are eligible to sit as observers, unlike those ordinary students who can only stand and listen to the lectures. ”
"It's a problem. Fang Yun frowned and pondered.
Qiao Juze said: "When you lecture, pay attention, don't seek merit, but seek no fault, even if they say that your talent is mediocre, you can't let them find out your big mistake." ”
"That's one way. Fang Yundao.
"Beyond that, it depends on what you're saying, and with what you can do, you might be able to silence them. You're ninth on the hunt list after all. After all, it is the first son of Lingyan Pavilion to raise people! Even if you don't have an inch of merit before, the name of Lingyan Pavilion's only full chip and the first son of Lingyan Pavilion will be passed down for hundreds of generations. Qiao Juze looked at Fang Yun with envy.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Make the most adequate preparations and have the best hopes." Prepare for the worst. ”
"Good! Insightful. However, today's civil and military officials can't come to Yuexi Academy, and they are probably already arguing in the court. Your reward is too big, I'm afraid it will make a hole in the Jinluan Palace. I don't know if it will be noisy until tomorrow. Qiao Juze said with a smile.
Fang Yun smiled helplessly: "The last time I pressed a state, I let hundreds of officials fight for a day, this time they should have experience." Replace it with me. Discuss in batches and sections. ”
"This method is very good, and it is estimated that the court meeting in the next three days will be about your reward. It's a pity that you didn't become a jinshi, if you become a jinshi, your official position may not be high, but your status will definitely be equivalent to that of a second-class master!"
"I'm not interested in official positions, I just want a civilian position. Fang Yundao.
"Indeed, the number one is the best. ”
The two kept talking, and after a while, they heard dense but deep voices outside the car.
Fang Yun lifted the curtain and saw that there were not many people on the road, but there were dense people standing on both sides of the road and in the garden opposite Yuexiyuan.
As the carriage moved forward, the sounds of conversation turned into a buzzing sound, like mosquitoes flying in the sky.
Qiao Juze also glanced out the window and said with a smile: "Except for Wenxiang's annual lecture, Jingguo has not had such a grand event for many years, even if it is a major literary conference. Guess who you just discovered?"
"Who?" Fang Yun asked.
"The right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Lord Xu. ”
"The right Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a member of the third grade, Lord Xu should be a Hanlin, and he should be in the court today, why did he come here?
"You don't know, Lord Xu is a double idiot in calligraphy and painting, and he would rather risk being punished than come to you to listen to the lecture. He looked sick, probably pretending to be sick and taking leave, just to come to you. ”
Fang Yun smiled: "I see. ”
"Those celebrities who are hidden in the capital, who are proficient in the three ways of piano, calligraphy and painting, will inevitably come. I heard that the Oiran Yanji of the Flower Buildings had tried their best to attend the class, and they disguised themselves as men to serve as entourages in order to be eligible to go outside the Yuexi Academy. By the way, do you know how many taels this kind of listening qualification has been fired?" Qiao Guze said, holding up a finger.
"One hundred taels?" Fang Yun asked.
"It's 1,000 taels of silver! A small restaurant in the capital that does a good job can only earn this a year. Qiao Juze said.
"Crazy. Fang Yun shook his head slightly.
"Not only are they not crazy, but they are extremely shrewd! Spend 1,000 taels today, and when they go back, they will talk about poetry and painting with guests in the name of disciples outside the country of Fangzhen, and their value will inevitably skyrocket! Look at it, in less than three days, those flower girls and singers who did not come will definitely regret it, and they will try their best to get closer to you. ”
Fang Yun smiled, he didn't expect that he still had the ability to stimulate Jingguo's economy.
The carriage stopped under Yuexi Courtyard, Qiao Juze dismounted first, and then casually lifted the curtain to make it easier for Fang Yun to get out of the car.
Near the entrance of Yuexi Academy, there are either celebrities in the capital or students from the Academy, and there are no ordinary people.
When everyone saw that the son-in-law of the Jinshi of the Chen Shengshi family actually lifted the car door like a subordinate, they realized that there was a big man in the car, and immediately stood up straight, with a stern face, and did not say anything.
Fang Yun walked out.
Everyone looked a little strange at the young face, but it was clear that it was Fang Yun who suddenly realized, and there were still a few people who had never seen Fang Yun's appearance, asked in a low voice, and nodded lightly after getting the answer, Fang Yun was eligible for this kind of treatment.
"Brother Fang, good morning!" said a Jinshi who had once toasted Fang Yun at the Chongyang Cultural Conference.
"Brother Xie, early. Fang Yun smiled and arched his hand.
Subsequently, the greetings came one after another, and Fang Yun gave his hand.
The early morning sun shone on Fang Yun's black gold-patterned lecture robe, which was wide and solemn, making Fang Yun look a little old.
After getting out of the car, Fang Yun walked towards the gate of Yuexiyuan, and the doorman signaled that the hour had not arrived.
Fang Yun stood in front of the door and looked around, there was a sea of people in front of him, and people kept coming from afar.
Tens of thousands of literati students, beauties and ladies looked at Fang Yun, and some bold women even jumped on the high ground to look at Fang Yun, and even waved to Fang Yun, but they didn't dare to shout.
Facing tens of thousands of fiery eyes, Fang Yun smiled, after all, he had seen a bigger scene.
Soon, there were high-ranking scholars one after another, and there were even many scholars from the Holy Family, Fang Yun politely greeted these seniors.
Not long after, a strange old man stepped out of the carriage, and there were two beautiful women beside him, and he shook one step at a time, and he was so old that he was about to die, but he never fell.
The old man was dressed in a Tsing Yi university robe.
Fang Yun took a closer look, this scholar had sparse white hair, age spots on his face, his teeth were lost, and his lips were shrunken in his mouth, but his eyes were clear and smiling.
Fang Yun knew that the ten kingdoms were so old and let two beautiful women serve them and be so swaggering, it could only be the legendary one, although that person was not one of the four great talents, but he was also known as the word "Jun". Fang Yun's head suddenly became big, and he had to step forward with everyone to greet him.
"I've seen the ...... of Hana-kun"
"I've seen the ...... of the flower university"
"Hmm!hmm!" the old man nodded with a smile, and a pair of dry old hands did not forget to stroke the jade hands of the concubines on both sides.
Everyone retreated one after another, but the old man Huajun's gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Fang Yun, and said with a smile: "It's you, the young man who dares to stand there can only be Fang Yun! Bastard boy, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the old man's reputation in the flower building has been robbed by you! In a few days, you will definitely drink flower wine with the old man, otherwise the old man will call the girls from all over the capital to block the door of your house!"
Fang Yun smiled bitterly: "If the students have the opportunity, they will definitely drink and enjoy the flowers with Lord Huajun." ”
Today is a big day for you to lecture, I won't bother you, you rely on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to become famous today, and tomorrow I will teach you the method of appreciating 'flowers'. The old man said with a smile.
Fang Yun nodded again and again and said yes, the old man Huajun can't do anything else, he writes beautiful poems like no other in the world, and the beautiful words he writes can even help Xingyun Yu, magical and abnormal, the famous flower buildings of the ten countries have his own masterpieces, and countless flower girls are willing to dedicate themselves to him.
The old man Hua Jun is over 90 years old, and he is still one of the four wonders of the human race.
After a while, the bell rang for a long time, and the doorman slowly pushed open the door of the Yuexi Temple, and then shouted: "The hour has arrived, and all beings have entered." ”
Different from ordinary lecture halls, Yuexiyuan is an open-air lecture hall, and the innermost part is a tall statue of Confucius, which is 20 zhang high.
In front of Confucius, everyone was a student.
In front of the statue of Confucius is a literary platform, which has fan-shaped stepped seats all the way to the door.
The stone steps closer to the platform were lined up with neat futons, and there were no futons in the distance, so everyone had to stand on the steps to listen to the lectures.
Fang Yun bowed his hand to everyone, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the literary platform.
At the same time, a group of people walked through the side door of Yuexiyuan, carrying sacrificial items such as three animals and incense candles, and slowly walked towards the literary platform. (To be continued......)
