After listening to Guo Quan's explanation, Lin Ling exhaled a long breath and said: "Sure enough, Kyoto is indeed the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and in this small narrow space, you can actually meet the influential figures in Taixue." ”

Hearing Lin Ling's emotion, Guo Quan narrowed his glasses slightly, and said with some disdain: "Actually, there is nothing, for every student, as long as they are not bad people, they will basically turn over." ”

Looking at Guo Quan's appearance, Lin Ling knew that he didn't have a taste in his heart, but Lin Ling didn't plan to persuade him, because once a person has something to be jealous of, it means that he has the motivation to move forward, which is a good thing.

"Pinzhi, do you think we should go over and say hello to the senior? Let's get acquainted with each other first, maybe it will come in handy later. ”

Lin Ling said this, his eyes staring at Guo Quan's expression with bright eyes, but his body did not move.

"Hmph... You don't have to go, when you enter Taihuasi, you will get acquainted with him. ”

Guo Quan turned his head to look at Lin Ling's virtue, how could he not know that Lin Ling was provoking him, but Guo Quan was confident in himself, and the palace test might be a little difficult, but for Wenju, Guo Quan said that it was not difficult at all.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs, you can eat slowly."

After finishing speaking, Guo Quan took the handkerchief handed over by Zhang Lun, wiped his lips shallowly, got up to say goodbye, and went upstairs bypassing everyone.

Yang Zhen on the side watched Guo Quan walk away expressionlessly, thinking that Lin Ling's words angered him, so he hurriedly said to Lin Ling: "Childe, Guo Gongzi, what's wrong?" I don't think I'm happy. ”

Listening to Yang Zhen's doubts, Lin Ling touched his nose and did not answer Yang Zhen's words, but said something inexplicable: "It seems that Pinzhi is also worried." ”

"Alright, we're full of food and drink, and we should go upstairs to review."

After speaking, Lin Ling didn't care about Yang Zhen's expression, got up and followed Guo Quan's trajectory, squeezed through the crowd and went upstairs, leaving only Yang Zhen with a blank face, looking around, and had no choice but to follow.

......

At night, it was snowing outside.

In Leyang City in winter, the night always comes faster than the other three seasons, and at this time, just after the unitary hour, it is already pitch black outside, dripping into ice.

And the originally lively hall, because of the early arrival of the night, all the Confucian scholars wrapped their robes early, and after a pleasantry, they said goodbye and left.

At this time, Bogulou was cold, and it seemed to have returned to the sense of tranquility when Lin Ling first came, and in this cold weather, not to mention Bogulou, and even the entire Qingwen Street, I couldn't even hear a dog barking.

If it weren't for the sound of someone beating the watch every once in a while, Lin Ling really thought that the entire Leyang City would be a dead city.

However, compared with other hostels on Qingwen Street, there are still two cold candles on Bogu Building, which are like a ray of sky lanterns in the dark night through the obstruction of layers of window paper, bringing a little warmth to the hearts of the watchmen who will pass by Bogu Lou from time to time.

And these two candles came out of Lin Ling and Guo Quan's wings, and there is no need to guess to know that the two must be reading at night.

It's just that Guo Quan really reads at night, and Lin Ling is relatively much easier, because his original intention is not to be a high-ranking official, for him, as long as he enters the Taihua Division.

In fact, it is not that Lin Ling is not self-motivated, but when his wife was alive, she set a clear study route for Lin Ling as a child, and this Taihua Division is an indispensable part of the route.

Although the old lady has been dead for many years, Lin Ling is a filial son, and he has always remembered the old lady's deathbed entrustment, so in Lin Ling's view, it is not the time to join the WTO.

Taixue is like Tsinghua University and Peking University in our later generations, but compared with the two, perhaps Taixue in ancient times was more prosperous than the universities in later generations.

Because there were many universities in later generations, often there were many institutions of higher learning in a province, but in ancient times, there was only one Taixue, which was a real place where the world's elites lived in one courtyard, and even many important ministers in the court were all born in Taixue.

Therefore, Taixue is not only a symbol of a country, but also the cultural essence of a family and country; If the new dynasty is compared to a giant, then this Taixue is the brain nerve of the giant.

It is conceivable that Taixue is indeed more attractive than that of high-ranking officials for every Confucian student, and the scholars of the world must know that if they want to change their lives, only by entering Taixue is the right way.

At this moment, Lin Ling was sitting in the lobby with a wisp of residual candles, reading his book of Han Xigong's war strategy with relish, although Lin Ling had memorized it backwards, but whenever he read it, he would still be impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.

At this time, Yang Zhen on the side listened to the sound outside, immediately got up and picked up a coat, walked to Lin Ling's side and gently put it on for him, and then opened his mouth and urged: "Childe, it's time to rest." ”

Feeling the warmth on his back, Lin Ling reluctantly raised his head, smiled at Yang Zhen and said, "It's okay, if Gongwei is tired, you can go to sleep first, don't worry about me, and go to sleep after someone reads this battle strategy." ”

After speaking, Lin Ling lowered his head again and looked at it stupidly.

However, although Lin Ling said so, Yang Zhen would not really go to sleep by himself, at this time, seeing Lin Ling looking at a book of war so intently, Yang Zhen couldn't help but wonder in his heart, thinking that Gongzi was a Confucian student, but why did he always look at the book of war.

Although he was puzzled, Yang Zhen looked at Lin Ling's obsessed appearance, and couldn't bear to interrupt him directly, so he had to stand quietly on the side, and saw that Lin Ling had finally finished reading this volume, so he said:

"Childe is really a strange person, his subordinates only know that Confucianism likes the three articles of gentlemen all over the world, but they never thought that there are still Confucian students like Childe in the world, who are so obsessed with the art of war."

Hearing Yang Zhen say this, Lin Ling was about to turn the next page of his hand, but suddenly stopped, and after a change of thought, he raised his head and said, "Since Gongwei knows this book, then I might as well come to the school to test you." ”

As he spoke, Lin Ling closed the book and sat up straight to ask his own question, but Yang Zhen on the side was startled when he saw this posture.

He is not a learned person in the first place, let alone the book of soldiers, even if he doesn't know a basket of words, if he answers the question in front of Lin Ling at this time, wouldn't it be ugly.

So Yang Zhen took advantage of Lin Ling's lack of time to speak, so he immediately interrupted: "Haha, Gongzi misunderstood, a person who seems to be such an illiterate person as a subordinate is the kind of person who understands military books, it's just that his subordinates were in Qingcheng's hometown when they were children, and they heard others discuss this book." ”

"So I also ask Gongzi to take back his fate, if Gongzi asks me about the geography of Kyoto and Sili, I still know, but this military book is indeed a subordinate."

Yang Zhen accompanied the smiling face, and finally dispelled Lin Ling's heart to take the school examination, but it is true that although Yang Zhen does not know military books, he is very proficient in geography, and if he is in the army, he must be an excellent scout.

"Okay, then I won't take the school exam for you, just follow me later, and you will inevitably have to go in and out of some scholarly places, so you have to understand this sage theory somewhat."

Seeing Yang Zhen prevaricating like this, Lin Ling didn't want to push too hard, but when he was about to sit down and continue reading, he saw the book of etiquette on the table, and immediately rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a clever trick.
