Mei Xiaotong stretched out her hand to stop the eldest brother and persuaded.

"What do you mean by that?" The eldest brother looked at Mei Xiaotong and asked, but his raised fist slowly fell.

"Haven't you heard? They are from Baiyun Academy, and Baiyun Academy overpowered our Evergreen Academy last autumn. This year, they suddenly came to Jing County, who knows what their intentions are? Listening to what they said, they said that our Jing County is not good, and Changqing Academy is not good, maybe they just want to take the opportunity to make trouble! ”

"In case the eldest brother, if you go down with a fist, they touch the porcelain, crying and shouting that their hands are broken, their legs are lame, their eyes are broken, and so on, when the time comes, they will put the blame on the head of the Evergreen Academy, and slander that the Evergreen Academy hired someone to harm them or something. At that time, even if the Evergreen Academy is full of mouths, it will not be able to say clearly! ”

"Isn't it......" The eldest brother was dazed when he heard this, he could have such serious consequences with a fist?

"Who's to say that? The heart is separated from the belly! This Baiyun Academy has not dealt with our Evergreen Academy for many years, maybe there are some tricks waiting for us! Whether it's or not, we have to guard against it, don't we? ”

"Besides, this clear-eyed person knows what's going on, let's not do it, don't let them go, find someone to report to the official! Leave it to the yamen to deal with! Mei Xiaotong knows that this matter is not good, it involves a lot, so it is naturally good not to touch your hands.

There were sober people next to him, and they also said: "What the talented lady said is very true! A few scholars from this Baiyun Academy are strange! It's good, there's nothing to do when you're full, take care of this trivial matter? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, which is definitely not a good thing! ”

"Looking at the way they look at these thieves, it's not a good thing! I can't say that I came to touch porcelain and harm our Evergreen Academy! ”

"I've heard that Baiyun Academy was lucky enough to do better than our Evergreen Academy last year, and that tail was about to reach the sky. I can't look down on our Evergreen Academy in and out of words, and after what else do you say, our Qingzhou Mansion will be their Baiyun first, and our Evergreen second! I-"

……

If you want to say that the people of Jing County are most proud, it is naturally the famous academy in Jing County! Especially Evergreen College!

Not to mention anything else, there is no second home in the entire Qingzhou Mansion.

Jing County has developed from a small town by water to today's county seat, relying on Evergreen Academy.

How many people's livelihoods are maintained because of Evergreen Academy, in other words, Evergreen Academy feeds almost half of the people in the county.

If the reputation of Evergreen Academy is ruined, it will ruin the entire Jing County, and it will also cut off the livelihood of half of the people in Jing County.

Therefore, whether this is or not, as soon as they heard that it was the people of Baiyun Academy, the people of Jingxian County were all united in hatred.

Even the previous daughters-in-law who took advantage of them knew that the men in their family relied on working for the academy to support the family, and if the rabbit cubs of Baiyun Academy were disastrous, how could the family live?

Suddenly, one by one, they all looked at the enemy's eyes

, Looking at those scholars, they only remembered Mei Xiaotong's words, but no one did anything.

But that's not polite, as soon as you say a word, the spittle Xingzi sprayed so that the hair of several scholars was wet.

Several scholars were also anxious, they were indeed students of Baiyun Academy, last year the academy came out on top, and the second child of ten thousand years finally turned over, and the whole academy was jubilant and full of spirit.

A few days ago, it is said that it is a big official in the court, this time to Qingzhou Mansion on a business trip, someone mentioned the Yulan Festival Jingxian Dragon Boat Festival, the big official was originally a person from Qingzhou Mansion, when he heard such a prosperous age, he must go to watch it in person.

Because of this, I asked two more questions about the students of Qingzhou Mansion, and I heard that Baiyun Academy actually suppressed Evergreen Academy last year, and I immediately became interested.

It was proposed that Baiyun Academy also produce a dragon boat team to compete with the academy in Jing County.

The increase in Wendou was proposed by this official.

When they Baiyun Academy received this news, they were immediately stunned, this is really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

It's almost autumn to try, who is not the head cantilever cone piercing the lantern night reading, twelve hours a day is not enough, where is there leisure to do what dragon boat races?

Not to mention the students of Baiyun Academy, they are all industrious and indistinguishable, let them row dragon boats, and directly ask them to die faster.

Even if Baiyun Academy was dissatisfied from top to bottom, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, he had to bite the bullet and reluctantly put together a team to come to Jingxian to familiarize himself with the venue.

Along the way, I don't know who started it, and suddenly said something shocking, saying that it was because Evergreen Academy lost last year, and I was afraid of losing again this year, so I moved my hands and feet, said that I moved the big people above, and then deliberately tossed them Baiyun Academy, so that they would lose their level in the autumn exam?

It was just a ridiculous remark, but it was heard by these few in their hearts, they were in Baiyun Academy, their homework was mediocre, but they were barely physically fit, and they were selected into the team.

One by one, they all complained in their hearts, they came all the way, I don't know how much homework they have to delay, it turns out that the autumn exam is still not sure in their hearts, such a toss, I am afraid that there is no hope this year.

I was already angry, but I felt more and more that this was right.

After pondering for a while, a few people got off the boat, and they were supposed to follow the master of the academy and other classmates to the Evergreen Academy.

Evergreen College has a special guest house to receive them.

But they made an excuse and slipped over halfway, originally planning to visit Jing County, and by the way, inquire about the news of this Evergreen Academy. If something can happen, take the opportunity to let the Evergreen Academy get down and vent its evil anger, then it would be the best.

After walking all the way, I only felt that Jingxian County was prosperous everywhere, and the people could see that they were quite solid and polite when they were dressed one by one.

Originally, they all thought that they were going to return in vain, but suddenly they heard a few daughters-in-law beating their children, and the people next to them asked a few more questions, and they listened to them.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Someone else asked carefully, which academy did Song Xiu study in, and when I heard that it was Evergreen Academy.

After several people looked at each other, they all had ideas.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the affairs of those daughters-in-law to step on this talent of Evergreen Academy, and take advantage of the situation to give face to Evergreen Academy.

The operation is good, and there will be one less competitor this year.

That's why the rest of the story.

But I didn't expect that halfway through this matter, why couldn't I pull it back?

According to their assumptions, shouldn't they be upset and rush to Song Xiucai's house to question, whether it is Song Xiucai's family taking a step back to apologize to those people, or Song Xiucai's family is carrying it to death, they can make this Song Xiucai bear a bad reputation, and then step on the Evergreen Academy.

In the end, they retreated, and the reputation of Evergreen Academy was going to stink anyway?

But how did it become that their careful thinking was seen through, and they were added to the vinegar and said that they were becoming more and more vicious?

Make the whole Jing County look at them like bedbugs in the gutter?

Several scholars opened their mouths to defend themselves: "It's not what you think, we-"

"Shut up! Speak again, don't blame the old lady for spitting in your face! looks like a dog, is still a scholar, and doesn't do anything! Mrs. Zhang took the lead and stood next to those scholars, watching vigilantly, for fear that these scholars would come out again.

In the distance, I heard a commotion: "The messenger is here!" The messenger is here! ”

With a rush of footsteps, several familiar officials appeared in front of Mei Xiaotong.

walked in, they also recognized Mei Xiaotong, their faces twitched, and they turned their heads and asked the person next to them, "What's going on?" ”

On the other side, someone also shouted: "The master of the academy is here!" Here comes the Master! Get out of the way—"

Everyone scattered on both sides and made a way.

I saw two people who looked like masters, with a few students from the academy, who were hurrying over, two of them, who were not An Huahao and Gu Zikai?

The two first saw Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang, and when they saw that they were fine, they were relieved.

followed the master to the gate of the Song family's courtyard.

The officials greeted the master honestly and respectfully, and then stepped aside, this involves the affairs of Baiyun Academy, and they are not easy to interfere with.

Among the two masters who came, one of them had a blue face, glared at the scholars who were surrounded in the middle, and described the embarrassed scholars: "Nonsense! It's lawless! Go back and copy the book for me! The face of Baiyun Academy has been lost by you! ”

The scholars saw the master as if they had seen a savior, but when they heard this, they wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.

Some of them were still unconvinced and wanted to justify: "Master! It's none of our business, we-"

The master's face was embarrassed, and when he turned around, he shouted, "Shut up! ”

Turning his head, he smiled at the master of Evergreen Academy and said, "I'm really sorry!" These stinky boys from our academy don't know the severity and cause trouble for you! ”

The master of Evergreen Academy touched his beard and smiled slightly: "It's easy to say." Young people, where there are people who don't make mistakes, it should be good to know their mistakes! ”

The master of Baiyun Academy twitched his face, and he only laughed silently.

An Huahao and Gu Zikai had already come out of the crowd, went to Mei Xiaotong's side, and asked in a low voice what the situation was.

Mei Xiaotong explained the matter clearly in a few words, and in the end, she was a little worried: "Brother Song, I, I didn't cause you trouble, right?" ”

An Huahao smiled, "You did a great job!" Fortunately, you stopped it, otherwise we would have really done it, and we would have lost it! ”

Gu Zikai also said beside him: "It's not, it's not that they didn't do it, it's just that they didn't, if we did, we couldn't wash it even if we jumped off the Jingjiang River." ”

Mei Xiaotong heard the unfinished meaning behind these words, and immediately understood in seconds.

The master of the Evergreen Academy over there also listened to the person next to him explain the situation clearly, his face was silent, but his eyes glanced over, and after just one glance, he knew that this was probably the family of An Huahao's family.

If it weren't for the calm calm of the Anhua Hao family today, I wouldn't have to say that I would have to suffer a dumb loss in Evergreen Academy.

It's just that the form is unclear now, what kind of charter is on the side of Baiyun Academy, and I haven't figured it out yet, so it's not good to make a conclusion.

It's not good to carry out the Anhua Hao family's lady, in case of causing trouble, it's not theirs.

Therefore, he only nodded in his heart, thanked the neighbors with a smile on his face, and then took a cadre of students from Baiyun Academy to Evergreen Academy.

The officials were also not at ease, nominally as an escort, but in fact they were afraid that the people of Baiyun Academy would come out with demon moths again, so they escorted them all the way.

The onlookers saw that the excitement was gone, so they dispersed one after another.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and they got the thanks of the master of Evergreen Academy, for the big guys, it was a matter of face, and I couldn't say that I had to go out and brag about it these days.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Gu Niangzi also returned to her yard.

Everyone helped Mrs. Zhang into the yard.

Gu Zikai also followed, and in front of so many people before, he didn't ask about many details, but he still couldn't rest assured.

Entering the courtyard and smelling the fragrance of mushroom sauce, Gu Zikai couldn't help but laugh: "It's all caused by this mushroom sauce, it's so fragrant, it's not wrong!" ”

An Huahao also smiled, so he left Gu Zikai to have dinner and then go back.

Gu Zikai didn't shirk, the three of them sat under the porch, and Gu Yu poured tea.

Mrs. Zhang has been making trouble for a long time, but she is in good spirits, and she heard that Gu Zikai wants to stay for dinner, so she has to cook two specialty dishes herself.

Mrs. Li naturally stayed to help, and the stove house was lively for a while.

Mei Xiaotong and the three of them drank tea, and then slowly told the story of today, and in the end, Mei Xiaotong also

Very speechless: "I knew that boiling a mushroom sauce would cause these things, so I didn't boil it." ”

An Huahao said: "What do we have to do with this? It's just that without this sauce, those people will always find an opportunity if they want to take advantage. Not to mention those students of Baiyun Academy today, they came with malicious intentions, thinking that even if they didn't make a move today, they would always find an opportunity. In this way, because of today's events, we know that Baiyun Academy is not good, and it is still a good thing to be on guard! ”

Gu Zikai also nodded again and again: "To be honest, if they hadn't revealed their clues today, we really wouldn't have guarded against them." Our academy treats them as guests, who knew that they would have such a mind! Baiyun Academy is also a century-old academy, and it has also made great achievements over the years, how can there be such students in this session? It's insulting! If this matter comes out, the reputation of the Centennial Academy will be in jeopardy! ”

In the end, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.

Mei Xiaotong snorted coldly: "I can't see it!" If you really say what those people are thinking, then the master of Baiyun Academy didn't notice it at all, I don't believe it! These people are new to the school, and they don't follow everyone to the Evergreen Academy, they have to stay, and the excuse is so insincere. If the master really cares about the students, why wouldn't he stop him? Anyway, I have to report to Evergreen College before I talk about it, right? ”

"I see that the master was not the slightest surprised when he saw those students, either the master already knew about this, or these people had bad deeds in Baiyun Academy, and the master had long been used to it! If it is the former, it means that Baiyun Academy has malicious intentions towards Evergreen Academy! If it is the latter, the exchange between the two academies actually sent students with bad deeds to come, this is a clear thought, lest the world do not know, right? ”

The more Mei Xiaotong thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, if she is not at home today, leaving only her own mother-in-law Zhang at home, with her temper, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good today.

I can't say that An Huahao's reputation will be ruined today.

An Huahao is the one who wants to participate in the imperial examination, how can he participate in the imperial examination if he ruins his reputation? The future of this life is about to be ruined.

Cutting off people's future is a deep hatred that is not shared with the sky!

Today, because the master of Evergreen Academy came, Mei Xiaotong didn't find out the details of Baiyun Academy for a while, so he didn't stop and let the people from Baiyun Academy leave.

It's just that she wrote down this hatred.

An Huahao didn't know much about Baiyun Academy, but listening to Gu Zikai's words, it was very clear.

Mei Xiaotong had a plan in her heart, so she was extra attentive, pouring tea and serving snacks to Gu Zikai in person.

Gu Zikai was flattered, not to mention anything else, since he met An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, he had never had this kind of treatment, although he knew that Mei Xiaotong was so attentive, he must have asked for something.

But even so, he felt very useful.

Still An Huahao couldn't stand it anymore, his heart was full of vinegar, he coughed several times, pulled Mei Xiaotong back to his seat and sat down, with a straight face: "Xiaotong, Brother Gu is not an outsider, why are you so polite!" ”

plums

Xiaotong......

Gu Zikai......

In the end, Gu Zikai came back to his senses first, glanced at An Huahao with a smile, and then said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

I've seen a lot of people who have something to ask for, and they have to show a look of no desire and no want, or they obviously want you to help, but they still turn around and can't wait for you to ask her.

Gu Zikai thinks that Mei Xiaotong is like this, I have something to ask you, so his attitude is very good, and his face is almost clear-eyed, which is very pleasing to the eye.

To be honest, before, Gu Zikai didn't feel that he was so easy to be soft-hearted, in Mei Xiaotong's eyes, just looked at it, and before he could speak, he felt that he was afraid that Mei Xiaotong's request today, even if it was excessive, he would not be unable to agree.

Mei Xiaotong's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Zikai doing this.

I also unceremoniously asked about the origin of Baiyun Academy. Gu Zikai didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to ask this, and after a little thought in his heart, he guessed Mei Xiaotong's plan by five or six points.

couldn't help glaring at An Huahao, sighed secretly, cheered up, and spoke eloquently.

This Baiyun Academy is also a famous academy in Qingzhou Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion is located in the northeast of the Central Plains, most of it is a plain, in the northeast, it is the vast mountains, mountains stacked on top of each other.

Evergreen Academy and Baiyun Academy, in Qingzhou Mansion, one is in the plain in the southwest, and the other is in the mountains in the southeast, far apart.

Baiyun Academy also has a history of hundreds of years, which is earlier than the history of Evergreen Academy.

At the beginning, he was also a number of famous ministers from Qingzhou Mansion in the previous dynasty, and after Gao Lao returned to his hometown, he established this academy together.

At that time, their protégés were all over the world, and when the college was established, it was famous, and many students visited it.

From the beginning of its establishment to the present, Baiyun Academy has also produced many famous people in the world, and it is also a Chinese courtier, two or three out of ten are from Baiyun Academy, and at that time, the edge of Baiyun Academy was unrivaled.
