Cuixiang Mountain is known to everyone in the capital and was once famous for the fragrant trees that grew on the mountain.

The shape of the tree is beautiful, the fruit is edible and can be used as medicine, and it is often set foot in Cuixiang Mountain.

Princess Zhenning's concubine Qu Yan resigned at that time, and when the academy was established, the emperor personally assigned Cuixiang Mountain to Princess Zhenning, and also brought dozens of acres of land under the mountain.

Now Cuixiang Mountain is the private property of Princess Zhenning, and a school was built on the ground under the mountain, which is now as famous as Qianqiu Academy.

Wen Ming came on foot, and from a distance, Xiangshan Academy sat on the mountain, covered by layers of forests, and the eaves were warped, quiet, far-reaching and solemn.

The boy guarding the door sat on the doorstep, basking in the sun and dozing off.

Wen Ming stood in front of him, blocking the sun, and he either felt a little less warmth, so he woke up.

"What for?" Xu disturbed his sleep, and his tone was a little bad.

"I'm here to apprentice." Wen Ming's tone was polite.

"March is the time for admission, and now it's all over, so you can come back next year." The little boy was awake now, and saw a good-looking woman in front of the door, and his tone was better.

"I'm here to worship Mr. Mo Xin as a teacher." Wen Ming repeated it again.

The president of Xiangshan Academy, Qu Ju Ma Qu Yan, is known as Mr. Mo Xin.

In the 20 years since Mr. Mo Xin founded the College, he has only five disciples. Countless people want to worship him every year. But there has never been a woman.

Xiangshan Academy and Qianqiu Academy are the only two academies in the capital that have women's studies, but most of the women's professors are the six arts, but they are not involved in the theory of scripture and righteousness, after all, women do not need to take the imperial examination.

Qianqiu Academy was founded by the Su family, and it was a long time, and the Su family was also a traditional noble family, so it was quite popular with students. And Xiangshan Academy was founded by a colt, and it has a relationship with the royal family, and the colt does have real talent and learning, so it is also eager for a while.

The two academies are in a state of rivalry in the capital. The students of the two families also want to suppress each other.

The little boy looked at Wen Ming in surprise, suspecting that he had misheard. There are many women who come here to study, but it is the first time they have seen the dean as a teacher.

Wen Ming looked at Xiao Tong and said again: "I am here to worship Mr. Mo Xin as a teacher." ”

"Mr. Dean has never accepted a female disciple."

"It's just that I haven't received it, it's not that I haven't received it, right? That troublesome little boy, help me hand over the sticker to Mr. Mo Xin, Mr. will definitely take it, I will wait here for a while. Wen Ming was very polite and handed the greeting sticker directly to the child.

Xiao Tong saw Wen Ming and called him a little boy, polite and polite. The stickers were almost in his hands, and he couldn't say anything if he refused, so he agreed.

Wen Ming stood at the gate of the academy, she could occasionally see the students coming and going, and when she heard the faint sound of reading, she just stood still and did not move.

The doorman came back after almost a stick of incense, and took the tea in. Instead of taking the gate or lecture hall, I walked along the secluded path near the side schoolhouse. Probably because he was afraid of disturbing the gentlemen and students who were lecturing.

Because it was built along the mountain, the road was a little tortuous, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to walk.

The boy motioned for Wen Ming to push the door in, and he left.

Mr. Mo Xin had never seen Wen Ming, but she had heard it many times, so she had an impression in Wen Ming's memory, the person in front of her was what she imagined, even if she was in her forties, she still looked good.

There is probably no ugly one who can be a colt.

Qu Yan also looked at the girl in front of her, the steps that walked in were calmer than ordinary girls, her posture was erect, her face was good, her expression was peaceful, and her eyes were focused.

The reason why I want to meet is because of the words on this sticker, and the content on the post: Princess Zhenning has a request for me, I want to worship Mr. as a teacher, and I am here to bribe Mr.

The person who can say the bribe so bluntly, the girl who writes so well, don't say it for the time being, why do you want to see it.

Looking closely, I always feel that the girl in front of me has a sense of familiarity, but I don't know where this familiarity comes from.

Wen Ming bowed very politely and made a manly salute: "Meet Mr. Mo Xin!" ”

Hearing the tea and seeing the salute, interrupted Qu Yan's thinking.

"What does Princess Zhenning want from the girl?" Qu Yan came back to his senses and asked politely.

"My name is Wang Xiaoming, the same as the tea of tea, I opened a clothing shop, and the princess wanted to customize two clothes for the lord of Rongchang in our store, and wear them on the birthday of the lord of Rongchang, but the date of the custom clothes in our store has been scheduled for September." Wen Ming said this briefly and seriously.

Qu Yan smiled and asked, "Why do you see that I will accept your bribe for two clothes?" ”

"Sir loves the princess. It's not about the clothes themselves, it's about fulfilling the princess's heart, no matter how big or small! Wen Ming said, her tone was very certain.

The second brother Wen in my memory has talked about Mr. Mo Xin many times, not about learning, not about character, and most about loving his wife like life. always said that he would find a man like Mr. Mo Xin for his sister to marry in the future, and at that time, his sister Wen Ming in his mouth was strictly speaking, she had already been married twice.

"Have you ever heard rumors? There is no harmony between me and the princess. Qu Yan asked with interest.

"The rumors are not credible!"

"So what's credible?"

"I believe sir, believe in myself. I believe that Mr.'s vision is based on his love and resignation to become a colt, I believe in Mr.'s character and ability, if he really wants to continue to have children, he will not be intimidated by royal pressure, and he will naturally be able to achieve his wishes. So far, there is only one daughter of the county lord, which must be the reason why I love the princess very much, this is my judgment based on trust. ”

"What if you're wrong?"

"So, if the gentleman doesn't see me, what is my pity!"

"Haha...... Interesting! Qu Yan laughed out loud.

Yes, if he is misbelieved, he is just a gentleman with a bad character, what a pity.

It's ridiculous, the world praises him, and on the other hand, they sympathize with him. However, if he is really as good as they praise him, how can he be wronged as they say he is.

It's such a paradox, but many people have never discovered it, and perhaps many people say that they are noble and talented...... It's just a casual remark.

He had explained it many times, but it seemed to get darker and darker, and since the explanation was useless, let them misunderstand. As long as Zhen Ning doesn't mind, what's the matter!

I didn't expect so many people to be as transparent as a little girl.

"If you bribe me, won't you break the rules, isn't this a gentleman's doing?" Qu Yan continued.

"I'm opening the shop for myself!" Wen Ming said her selfishness very calmly.

Qu Yan nodded with satisfaction, it is good to be honest with his selfishness, how can there be so many righteous and selfless people in the world.

The more Qu Yan looked at Wen Ming, the more cordial he felt and liked it.

"You should know that even if I am very happy with you, that is not a reason for me to accept you as a student." Qu Yan also bluntly expressed his appreciation for Wen Ming, but did not agree to accept him as a disciple.

"This is natural, my bribe was originally just to hope that Mr. could see me, to become a student, there must be conditions to become a student!" Wen Ming didn't expect to be able to apprentice so easily.

"Aside from whether I am a manufacturable material, my husband's concern is nothing more than what is the point of teaching a woman a doctrine of righteousness? And piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette, poetry, and mathematics are enough to be taught in women's schools. Wen Ming also knows the root cause.

Qu Yan swallowed his head, this is indeed the reason why he didn't accept the tea.

"Then dare to ask sir, have all the disciples you taught before have entered the court as officials?"

Qu Yan was stunned.

He accepts disciples only to look at the edge of the eyes and character. There are not many disciples, but most of them are not officials in the court, because he is an unruly person. The disciples also do everything.

"I think there are no people who have entered the ranks, and Mr. teaches men not to hope that they all will become officials, but it is just useful for them, so why should Mr. care about men and women, as long as I can learn and succeed, and live up to the name of Mr., it is okay not to be in trouble? Even if I will only be an inner house woman in the future, I can also become an inner house woman who knows how to advance and retreat, and is sensible. Wen Ming said slowly, his eyes fell straight on Qu Yan, not dodging, not retreating.

Qu Yan looked at Wen Ming's eyes, felt her unusually serious, paused for a moment, and suddenly relieved, in vain he always thought that he was not confined to the rules, not limited to the form, but he didn't expect that there was still a time to have a phase.

In fact, he still values the distinction between genders.

Seeing Wen Ming's words, she knew that she must have read a lot of books, so she asked, "Can you know the scriptures?" ”

This is the plan to take her as an apprentice, but to see if this apprentice can be made, even if it doesn't come out, but how can you not smash your own signboard.

"Yes and no!" Wen Ming replied.

"What's the explanation?"

"I can solve the problem and make up my mind, but I don't know how to use dictionaries and can't write prose." Wen Ming said frankly.

This is fresh, the use of the dictionary is secondary, the meaning of the scriptures is difficult to ideate, but it is rare to not be able to write a prose.

Qu Yan didn't care: "If you know it, I have nothing to teach, then use your own words to say 'no rules'"

It can be regarded as a timely situation, today they talked about the rules, and the practice can be regarded as breaking the rules.

Wen Ming thought for a moment.

There are many reasons why she wants to worship Qu Yan as a teacher, but the most important one is that she has a high probability of success, Qu Yan only accepted a total of five disciples, in fact, there are two officials, although there are few, but the quality is high, the eldest disciple is now the official right minister, in his early thirties, but he is said to be the youngest prime minister in the Great Xia Kingdom. Another disciple can also be regarded as an official, but he is an imperial doctor.

And the other disciples are said to do everything, so even if you accept a female disciple, it is not too much.

From the understanding in memory, and judging from the fact that he accepted disciples, Qu Yan is a very inclusive person.

Wen Ming sorted out his head for a while, and then muttered: "If you don't follow the rules, everything can only be balanced by running under the rules."

From simple clothing to clothing, it is difficult to make or uncomfortable to wear in a reasonable way and size.

and then to our behavior etiquette, boudoir training, and family law, all of which tell us how to be a person who is recognized by the world and accepted by the family.

Even the law of the land tells us not to do anything or we will be imprisoned or worse.

Any rule is alive, there are formulators and observators, and it is the product of the contradiction and struggle between the two parties. It's dynamic and ever-changing!

The lawmakers want to maximize their interests while securing their position through the rules, while the abiding party wants to get as much freedom and benefits as possible from these constraints.

And the rules are the yardstick that both parties can accept for the time being. When the two sides of the conflict change, the rules will continue to change.

If this scale is exceeded, for example, if a person does not follow the rules, the people who agree with the rules will laugh at him, and if a country implements too harsh government, the people who follow the rules will rebel and the regime may collapse.

So no one has absolute freedom, there are rules to follow.

And each of us needs to learn the rules.

The formulator learns the rules to better fight for his own interests through the rules, and the observant learns through a better understanding of the rules and makes himself more comfortable without breaking the rules.

Just like the female precept and female training, is this really a rule that women like from the bottom of their hearts?

In fact, if not, then we still have to learn in order not to let others use the rules as a means to attack you, and you can use the rules to defend your own interests.

And I also believe that under the continuous development and change of the contradiction between men and women, these rules will continue to change and even disappear. ”

Wen Ming did not pause, and a paragraph was eloquent. She thought that she should use the universality of things, the two sides of contradictions, and the theory of development and change to look at this problem, and combined it with her own reality, she should be able to pass the test!

Qu Yan was immersed in Wen Ming's words, he was shocked, shocked!

Wen Ming's words were undoubtedly bold, even shocking.

But he has always been a person who abides by the rules, but does not respect the rules, and accepts all kinds of deviance.

The girl in front of her bluntly told the root of the rules, which sounded very shallow, but so profound, starting with her own customized clothes, ending with the identity of a woman, combined with herself, from shallow to deep, and from deep to shallow, organized, and those rules are alive, dynamic, and developing, how novel such a statement is.

Qu Yan looked at Wen Ming again, there is no mistake, she is such a young girl, but at such an age, she is still a woman, how can she be so transparent, unique and long-term.

He looked at Wen Ming with eyes shining like he had found a baby.

Wen Ming was a little embarrassed for a while.

She didn't really have any new ideas, she just remembered a little bit of Marx, hey......

Qu Yan seemed a little uncomfortable when he saw Wen Ming, and for a moment he found that he was staring at a girl like this, which seemed to be too much, so he coughed twice.

Then he asked, "The girl is old this year?" ”

"It's time to go!" Wen Ming didn't want to say his specific birthday in the Wang family, but he couldn't say his real birthday, so he said vaguely.

"Have you ever taken small print?"

"Never"

Although the Wen family's parents did take it for her, she still couldn't say it.

"Summoning tea, is it good for the teacher to give you the small character '聐迩'?" Qu Yan felt that one day this girl would definitely be able to make a name for herself.

That's why the word "far-reaching" just popped up.

Then you may be too happy and excited, and the word "teacher" is unconsciously brought, of course, you must first have an identity to give others small characters!

Wen Ming was stunned when she heard this: Isn't this the word that Wen's father and mother gave her? Could it be that the brain circuits of the ancients were all the same?

But she's still happy, so it's even better. Besides, Mr. Mo Xin has called himself a teacher. Then her apprenticeship is naturally a success.

So he smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher!" ”

"Now you first have to learn the Four Books and Five Classics to quote the classics and get familiar with the way of writing, and then the poems, and be familiar with the rules and regulations, so that you can write the prose faster, but you are not young." Qu Yan was a little hesitant, he could teach it alone, but the time was limited, and then it was something too simple that he hadn't taught for too long, and he was unfamiliar for a while.

But this girl is obviously knowledgeable, insightful, and has profound ideas. The logic of the regulations is clear, but the most basic rhythms, lily sentences, even sentences, and battles are not clear, and how to use the dictionary is also a problem. Mengxue teaches these things, but she is not young anymore.

"I'll go to Mengxue!" Wen Ming had already inquired clearly when she came, and she knew that there was a cute school here, usually for children between five and ten years old, and both men and women could go.

When I was older, I went to school for men, and for women to go to school, I went to school. Of course, most girls don't go to Mengxue, they go directly to women's school and learn the six arts.

"Have you figured it out?" Qu Yan still asked.

"Come to think of it, the teacher won't announce that I'm your student for the time being."

"It's fine." Qu Yan originally had this idea, but now he said it, so as not to be disturbed too much in his studies.

Hearing Wen Ming's resolute attitude and his own thoughts, Qu Yan no longer worries too much, it is inevitable to go to Mengxue to be ridiculed, but he believes that the girl in front of him can handle it.

Qu Yan called Master Han, who managed the daily affairs of the academy, and made simple arrangements for Wen Ming, allowing her to study freely in the academy. Then I went back to the princess's mansion satisfied, I haven't been back for two days, now go back and show off my newly accepted disciples to Zhenning.
