Chapter 409
It is known as the ten buckets of the world, and seven points are in Baiyun Academy.
Everyone said that as long as you enter Baiyun Academy, it is equivalent to stepping into the court with half a foot.
Although Evergreen Academy has the reputation of Evergreen Confucianism, it was really inferior to Baiyun Academy in the past few decades.
It was also when this dynasty was first established, the president of Baiyun Academy and the Wenchen born in Baiyun Academy didn't know if it was the status of Baiyun Academy over the years, which made them dizzy, not only when the imperial court promulgated Zhao'an, but also when they recruited famous people from all over the world, they all refused to say anything.
He also threatened that unless the imperial court looked at the thatched house three times and named Baiyun Academy as the first academy in the world, the students of the academy refused to enter the court as officials.
And then......
And then there is no then.
The imperial court was not opened by his Baiyun Academy, and there are more people in the world who have learned a body of literature and martial arts, and there are more people who want to sell it to the emperor's family.
What is a Baiyun Academy?
Not to mention that at this time, the dean of the Evergreen Academy at that time was very discerning, and when the Baiyun Academy swept the face of the imperial court, he jumped out, took the initiative to surrender to the imperial court, and offered a few good plans, as well as a number of books that the Evergreen Academy had treasured for many years in the imperial court.
Compared with the two, the imperial court naturally chose Evergreen Academy.
He also accepted the good plan of the Evergreen Academy, and returned all the talents except Baiyun Academy to the imperial court.
Students elsewhere have been pressed by the students of Baiyun Academy for so many years, and finally have a chance to turn over, who cares if it is the past or the present?
Don't talk about any bookish festivals! After winning the world today, everyone has a stable life, who doesn't want to live a stable life?
Besides, study for a lifetime, why? Don't talk about those who are false, who is not for the imperial examination, entering the dynasty as an official, and glorifying the ancestors?
Now that there is such a good opportunity, it would be foolish not to seize it.
Not to mention, the current imperial court is still a corporal of etiquette, and he has a lot of respect for scholars, as long as it is not for those students in Baiyun Academy who have broken their brains, they are very happy to follow the current imperial court.
The people of Baiyun Academy were still holding shelves, waiting for the imperial court to visit the thatched cottage without waiting, but waiting for the imperial court to have ordered the world to say anything eclectic and reduce talents.
By the time the people of Baiyun Academy reacted, it was impossible for the imperial court to agree to their conditions, and it was already too late.
Not to mention that the good positions are occupied by others, the imperial court's impression of Baiyun Academy is quite bad.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just sat down in the world, he would have to show the generosity of the imperial court, and he would have to appease the scholars, according to the temper of the saint at that time, he was afraid that he would have the heart of copying the academy.
Baiyun Academy lost its sacred heart, and the identity of the students suddenly became embarrassing.
Compared with the decline of Baiyun Academy, Evergreen Academy is thriving and has won the eyes of the imperial court.
With the growth of one another, Baiyun Academy gradually lost its former glory and fell into a second-rate academy.
Since then, Evergreen College has become a first-class college.
To this end, Baiyun Book
The court no longer dared to complain about the imperial court, but counted these accounts on the head of the Evergreen Academy, feeling that it was all the villain behavior of the Evergreen Academy, which took away the holy grace of the imperial court.
Especially later, Evergreen Academy has been stabilizing Baiyun Academy all year round, and now everyone in the world knows Evergreen, where do you remember Baiyun for decades?
On the side of Evergreen Academy, anyway, it has benefited from the benefits, so it is extra tolerant of Baiyun Academy, and is low-key and humble everywhere, and in the eyes of Baiyun Academy, it feels that Evergreen Academy is weak-hearted.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is the good bearing of Evergreen Academy.
For so many years, between Baiyun and Changqing, the surface is fine, but secretly I don't know how many tricks have passed.
But in the end, everyone still pays attention to the spirit of a scholar, even if they make a move, they are all dignified and upright literary fights, even if they lose, they are not as good as others, and there is nothing to say.
But this year, this Baiyun Academy is going to come to Yin, which is worth pondering.
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao listened to the grievances between Baiyun Academy and Evergreen Academy for many years, and looked at each other, feeling that this is still a feud!
However, Mei Xiaotong has a clearer understanding of Gu Zikai's family background.
Where do ordinary readers learn about these news? But Gu Zikai is like a treasure, and he can't say a lot of good things, I'm afraid that even the master of the academy doesn't know.
Gu Zikai didn't take it seriously, so he said it so clearly, the human feelings in it.
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao got it.
After talking about the grievances between the two academies, Gu Zikai paused, but he still couldn't hold back: "Lady of the Wang family, although this Baiyun Academy, although it offended the imperial court at the beginning, but in the end, the background is still there, and over the years, it has worked hard to move closer to the imperial court in a low-key manner, and now it should not be underestimated." If you are not completely sure, it is better to be patient for the time being! ”
"In this dragon boat race, with me and Brother Song here, let's win them in the dragon boat race in a dignified manner, slap them in the face in public, and let them know the strength of Evergreen Academy!"
This is afraid that Mei Xiaotong will do it.
Of course, Mei Xiaotong is not so stupid, at this time, he will do it to Baiyun Academy in Jing County, whether it is successful or not, Evergreen Academy will not be able to escape the relationship.
If you really want to teach them a lesson, when they leave Jing County, they won't be able to clean it up.
However, Gu Zikai still received this intention.
A few more people said a few more words, and dinner was ready.
Mrs. Zhang personally baked white flour cakes, fried a few side dishes, and cut radishes and cucumber shreds. It is accompanied by watery wild vegetables and several kinds of mushroom sauce, some spicy and some with minced meat......
Two large tables were set up.
Because Mrs. Li was also here to help, she simply called Wolf Hao and his man over to eat together.
Gu Zikai was in a happy mood, and the mushroom sauce was really fragrant, especially with spicy, so that he sweated on his forehead, and he was reluctant to put chopsticks.
Mei Xiaotong didn't expect Gu Zikai to be spicy, so she hurriedly ordered Mrs. Ding to boil a pot of mung bean soup, warm it with cold water, and give it to Gu Zikai to drink, for fear that he would have a stomachache at night.
Gu Zikai was satisfied with this meal
, violated the principle of only eating seven or eight points full in the past, and only felt unfinished.
Because he and An Huahao's heart knot has been resolved, he has also let go a little, and he is not so upright.
At the dinner table, while eating, he exaggerated the mother-in-law's good craftsmanship, and praised the mother-in-law with a smile.
After eating, before leaving, Mrs. Zhang stuffed a jar of mushroom sauce with chili peppers for Gu Zikai, so that he could eat it with confidence, and come back to get it when he was gone.
Gu Zikai also took it unceremoniously, thanked Mrs. Zhang, and decided again in a few words, and in a few days, Mrs. Zhang made delicious food, and then came to eat before leaving.
An Huahao saw that a bottle of old vinegar was poured down most of the bottles at once, these people are too bad! There is no hope of robbing my own Xiaotong, and I even robbed my mother-in-law's love! Phew, shameless!
I didn't expect him to be such a Gu Zikai!
Back in the house, An Huahao also complained half-truthfully, to the effect that Mrs. Zhang didn't care about him anymore.
Mei Xiaotong was angry and funny, "You say this in front of your mother, see if your mother doesn't whip you with the soles of her shoes!" If my mother doesn't hurt you, can I boil these sauces? This is all for you to eat on the way to the autumn test! ”
An Huahao didn't know that there was such a thing, and when he was stunned, his eyes were red, and he said for a long time: "My mother still loves me the most!" ”
Mei Xiaotong didn't know that An Huahao's idea was sick, so she only pretended to be dissatisfied: "No, my mother only hurts you now, and I hurt you more than I hurt!" ”
An Huahao knew that Mei Xiaotong was coaxing him, and Mrs. Zhang was the only one who hurt her the most in the world, but she still felt comfortable in her heart.
The two couples laughed for a while before getting down to business.
"Brother Song, you should be careful about this matter of Baiyun Academy! I don't think those people can stop! I've lost face with us today, and I can't say I'm going to trouble you in the academy. Mei Xiaotong reminded.
An Huahao was used in his heart, "I know in my heart that after today's incident, they will also restrain for two days." Not to mention that they all live in Evergreen Academy, under our noses, it's not so simple to really want to make trouble. ”
Mei Xiaotong knew that since An Huahao said that he knew it in his heart, he didn't have to worry.
Turning his head, he talked about the sauce split: "The sauce boiled today is left for us to eat at home, and we have to send some to Li Jiushao and Shopkeeper Wu." Who else do you want to send to the dean and a few masters? Make a list for me, and I'll buy some small jars tomorrow and come back, write a sign, and send them out with the Yulan Festival. ”
An Huahao pondered in his heart for a long time before writing a list, and the couple discussed a few more words, and finally gave the number of people.
In the past, An Huahao gave gifts on the Yulan Festival, in addition to giving the teacher, it was the shopkeeper Zhang and Qin Orion who needed his attention.
At that time, he hadn't married yet, and everyone wouldn't be harsh, he was usually a rare prey he hunted, and it was enough to add some gifts to buy.
As for the Song family at that time, it was all run by Song Chunhua, and she couldn't wait to empty the house.
He's not quite ready yet
gave a festival gift, and at this moment, seeing Mei Xiaotong making a list of festival gifts, he couldn't help but come over to take a look.
On the list of rituals, in addition to dim sum and good wine, there are also salted duck eggs, a number of preserved eggs, a number of zongzi, a number of five poisonous cakes of the Yulan Festival, and finally a mushroom sauce, which looks real and not eye-catching, all of which are things for daily use, and it can be seen that they have been prepared with great care.
It's very handy, and it doesn't break too much, which is very appropriate.
This festival is ready, and after it is sent out, there are also return gifts one after another.
Li Jiushao also loves this mushroom sauce very much, and when he sent someone to send it back, he didn't forget to ask people to ask for two jars to go back.
The return gift is also very characteristic of the nine years of history, how expensive how to come.
However, Gu Zikai, after receiving the Boxing Gift, returned a lot of tonic medicines, which were also very valuable.
Even Imperial Physician Du, after receiving the Boxing Gift, was rarely picky, but asked Mrs. Qi to open her mouth and asked for two jars of mushroom sauce.
Mrs. Qi was still a little embarrassed: "My lord has left his hometown for many years, and my old lady used to send it to the capital. After tasting this sauce yesterday, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, which is to think of my old lady. “
"The biggest regret in my lord's life is that he did not fulfill his filial piety in front of the old lady, and he often chattered that he still wanted to taste the old lady's specialty dish again in this life. Now this sauce has a bit of the taste of my old lady, so I have to be cheeky to ask you for two more jars. ”
Mei Xiaotong hurriedly said: "What is this worth?" As long as Master Du likes it, I'll send two more jars tomorrow. If you don't dislike it, my family will make this every year, and then I will make two more altars. Or, I went back today and asked my mother and my mother-in-law who cooked, and Ming'er sent the recipe together, if Lord Du wants to eat, it will be the same for him to cook at home. ”
Mrs. Qi was overjoyed, it was naturally better to have a practice, she was just thinking about this craft of making sauce, and said that she had to be able to spread it, so she didn't speak.
Now Mei Xiaotong took the initiative to say that she wanted to give a practice, and hurriedly said: "Then it will trouble you!" ”
Because of this, the rituals given by Dr. Du's family were also a little heavier, in addition to those rituals that passed through the festival, an additional box was given, in which four or five small porcelain vases were placed, with sticks on them.
There are those that nourish qi and blood, those that strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, those that hurt oneself, and those that create gold and so on.
Even if it is a daily home medication, it is all ready.
That's a big gift.
Not to mention Mei Xiaotong's happiness, even Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smack her tongue when she looked at the porcelain bottle in this box: "Girl, this is really sent by Dr. Du's family?" ”
Mei Xiaotong nodded.
Mrs. Zhang carefully held the box: "Girl, you said that this pill was made by Imperial Doctor Du, right?" Imperial Physician Du used to treat the emperor, so our pills won't be the same as the emperor's food, right? Hey, if it's true
The emperor is the same, then this pill can't be eaten, this is a tribute, we have to offer it! ”
Mei Xiaotong looked helpless: "Mother, then Imperial Doctor Du has also treated you, do you have to provide for you?" ”
Mrs. Zhang's face stiffened, and she patted Mei Xiaotong in disgust: "You kid, all nonsense!" ”
said in his mouth, relaxed a little, and carefully touched the bottle, and stuffed it to Mei Xiaotong: "This is a good thing, you put it away, don't put it here with my old wife, in case you leave, the medicine is not good." ”
Mei Xiaotong didn't shirk either, this pill is a good thing, you have to keep it well, it can save your life at a critical moment.

Evergreen College. Guest house.
Baiyun Academy came to participate in the competition this time, plus the master and others who led the team, there were also about 20 people in 7788.
The guest house arranged for them was not large, and there were three or four people living in each room, and they could barely live there.
This makes the students of Baiyun Academy who have always been accustomed to living alone in their own rooms very unaccustomed.
They negotiated with the steward of Evergreen College and wanted another courtyard to live in.
The steward of Evergreen College had a smile on his face and was very attentive, but when they made a request, he looked embarrassed, only saying that every year because of the dragon boat race, there was an endless stream of students from other places who came to watch it, and they all came to Evergreen College to catch it, and there was no extra place to live for a long time.
This guest house was reluctantly vacated, so that the people of Baiyun Academy could endure it for a few days.
Anyway, it's going to be a game in a few days.
Where are the people of Baiyun Academy willing to follow, but they think that the steward of the academy has a fearless appearance, and it is not clear where they are.
The last incident made the Evergreen Academy have a mustard and guard against them.
It is said that they Baiyun Academy is also at a loss, this is a trouble, and Baiyun Academy is not reasonable.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure it.
Back in the courtyard, someone whispered: "I have said a long time ago, even if we win, we must win the dignity, why bother with these indiscriminate means?" Now stealing chickens can't be poured rice, why bother! ”
Someone also chimed in: "No, it didn't work out and caused a lot of shame, now we are in Evergreen Academy, everywhere we go, there are eyes on us, just like a thief." "Speaking of which, the students who can study in Baiyun Academy are also phoenix-egg-like characters in the family, and they can be selected to participate in the dragon boat race, and they are also the best in the academy.
When I go out on weekdays, everyone looks up to me, and the master is important, where is the experience of being guarded as a thief like this now?
I just feel uncomfortable.
The master who led the team kept a calm face and did not speak.
In the past, Baiyun Academy had not been to Evergreen Academy, and the treatment at that time was always assigned to their largest guest house, not to mention, they lived comfortably, and their actions were not restricted, and they went wherever they wanted.
As long as the requirements are not excessive, Evergreen College will basically meet them.
But this time, not only was there a small guest house, but twenty came
It's okay to huddle together.
In the past, when they used to eat or something, it was because the Evergreen Academy had a separate small kitchen in their guest house, and hired a mother-in-law on the stove to cook for them.
You can eat whatever you want.
Now, Evergreen Academy didn't mention this stubble directly, or he took the initiative to ask about the meal, and the steward of Evergreen Academy reluctantly said that in order to prepare for the dragon boat race, they are now understaffed and inconsiderate in the hospitality, and ask them to forgive me.
As for eating, Evergreen College originally had a large kitchen, and many students who lived in the college paid for food every month, and the big kitchen was responsible for their three meals a day.
The food is cheap, the things in the big kitchen are clean and hygienic, but the taste is average, and for students with average family backgrounds who are not picky, the big kitchen is also cheap and good.
Now, they will explain to the big kitchen, let them prepare more meals, and prepare their three meals a day in Baiyun Academy.
What else is said about the special period, everyone is more considerate and considerate.
With all that said, what else can the master of Baiyun Academy say? If they continue to ask for it, it will be difficult for them to be strong.
Some people were also indignant: "This Evergreen Academy is also stingy, not to mention anything else, we are guests from afar, just because of such an idea, we resort to these means, which is really contemptible." A dignified academy doesn't even have such a little bit of open-mindedness! ”
These words caused a resonance: "That's it, don't you say anything else, didn't Brother Chang and them succeed?" Why do you keep holding on to it? It must be because our Baiyun Academy pressed them last year, but it didn't show it on the surface, and it didn't feel happy in my heart! It's just hard to say it, it happened to happen to this incident, and use this thing as a raft to suppress us! “
"Brother Zheng is right!"
……
The students of Baiyun Academy echoed one after another.
There were only a few people, and there was a look of disapproval in their eyes, but seeing that the master's face was full of approval, they looked at each other and lowered their heads.
