Chapter Ninety-Four: One Word for the Heart

After dinner, Lu Zhi supported Chen Qu and returned to Kunyuan first. Lu Jun ran away without a trace, and Yi Yu followed her eldest brother all the way to the back garden of Guozijian with some confusion.

The two of them picked up a quiet pavilion and sat down, and after looking around, Lu Zhicai was under the gaze of Yu Yu. He opened his mouth and asked softly: "Xiaoyu, do you recognize the students who have entered this country's prison, what is the picture?" ”

Yi Yu blurted out: "Study." After speaking, she felt a little ridiculous, she came to this courtyard by herself, not with a simple purpose of "studying".

Lu Zhi smiled, shook his head and said, "Think again." ”

This time, Yu Yu did not answer casually as he did just now, but thought for a while, and said slowly: "Those commoners should be looking for a way out in the future, and those kings and grandsons are using this to gild themselves, or some are really here to study." ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and looked at Yi Yu, "You are only half right, the people who come here are indeed planning for the future, but not 'some', but all. As for the gilding, it is just an appearance, and the descendants of those powerful people came to the country. One of the most important purposes," said this, a strange light flashed in his clear eyes, "is to form a party." ”

Yi Yu's heart jumped, and he continued, "The various academies in this Guozi School are divided into factions, and those Wang Sun Guixuan entered this school to study, secretly just to form a party, not to mention the Tai Academy, this phenomenon is the most serious, the Academy of Scholars is better, as far as I know, it is divided into two factions, one is the sixteenth daughter of the emperor Chengyang Princess, and the other is the eldest grandson's concubine Changsun Xian. ”

"Eldest Sun Xian?" Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the beautiful girl who stroked the qin under the moon that night, it turned out that she was a student of the academy.

Lu Zhi nodded, and said in a low voice: "Princess Chengyang is the daughter of Empress Changsun, and there is no need to mention the honor, she is, she is the current prince Chengqian's faction, and Miss Changsun is a talented woman with a prominent reputation in Kyoto, and she is friendly with Princess Gaoyang," Lu Zhi paused, and looked at Yiyu's face through the moonlight and the lantern in the distance, "Gao Yang used to be close to King Wei, but Lord Changsun is the queen's brother after all..."

Before Lu Zhi could finish speaking, the surrounding air condensed for a while. Only then did I hear him whisper again: "The last time I walked with King Wei at the banquet has been known to everyone, Dr. Jin also values you a lot, you will inevitably contact them in the future, the eldest brother knows that you are delicate, there are some things that need not be said, you should remember - do not make friends with them, and do not treat them evilly." ”

After listening to him, Yi Yu lowered her head, with a wry smile on her face, if she had known that the situation in this country was so complicated, she was afraid that she would have retreated before entering the school, and the hardships brought by those royal relatives and nobles, it was enough for her to eat once, and the tingling on her shoulders seemed to remind her of the sinister nature of high society, if she didn't make good friends or make evil, how could it be so easy.

Lu Zhi looked at the silent Yu with a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he still opened his mouth again and said: "Xiaoyu, you must know that if you don't want to be like your mother in the future, it is not enough to rely on the eldest brother alone. ”

Yu Yu, who was faintly regretting, was shocked. Suddenly, she remembered what made her decide to enter this country ten days ago. Even if Lu Zhi has an identity and status in the future, he can't interfere in the inner house of others, although this era is much more tolerant of women, but it is also necessary to exchange for equal ability.

The Lu family had less support from her mother's family, and she was reduced from a wife with two sons to a rural village woman, and their mother and daughter were powerless and powerless in the backing village, so they would be slandered and abducted.

"Big brother, I see." When he looked up again, Yi Yu's eyes were much clearer, it was inevitable to stay in the Guozijian, even if she couldn't be a female official in the future, she was also a woman with a scholar's name.

When she returned to Kunyuan that night, thinking that she was going to see the college life of Guozijian, the Yu lying on the bed was inevitably a little tossing and turning, and turned her head to look at Chen Qu's quiet sleeping posture on the diagonal bed in the room, she sighed lightly, and lay on her back again, staring at the gauze tent above her head, thinking about the sentence, "Don't have friends with them, and don't hate them." ”

***

Yi Yu, who had not slept all night, woke up at three o'clock, Chen Qu was sitting on the edge of the bed and dressing, and saw Yu Yu sitting up with his body propped up, and said softly: "Is Miss awake?" ”

"Hmm." Yi Yu replied sullenly, reaching out and rubbing his eyes. He yawned again.

"Miss, let's sleep a little longer, it's still early before the hour."

Yi Yu gently rubbed his left shoulder and said, "No, you go and open the windows and pour a glass of water." ”

The sunrise is early in summer, and there is also a window in the inner room where you can see the bamboo forest in the north, Chen Qu opened the window and hung up the gauze tent in front of the bed, and the air in the house that had been dull all night flowed instantly, smelling the faint fragrance of bamboo, and the ears were the early bird songs.

Chen Qu got Lu Zhi's instructions yesterday, folded the bed, and went to the well in the courtyard to fetch clean water, so he ran to Ganwei Ju to receive breakfast with the food box, and Yu Yu loosely pulled his hair and washed himself.

Later, she stood in front of the north window of the living room to relax her breathing, rubbing her palms while raising her eyes into the distance, and when Chen Qu came back, she was already seven points in spirit.

Breakfast is a simple porridge side dish, very in line with the way of health, after eating Chen Qu put away the dishes, ready to wait and then send to Ganweiju. Someone is responsible for cleaning.

Changing into the regular clothes of the academy, Yi Yu thought of the few female students she had seen in Kunyuan last night, so she asked Chen Qu to tie the hair on both sides of her head into a bun and wrap a long plain hairband, and the rest of the hair was scattered on the back, which was refreshing and not eye-catching.

Chen Qu combed her forehead hair, looked left and right, and hesitated: "Miss, isn't this too plain?" No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Yi Yu's original eight-point appearance was stunned to cover up three points of this dress.

Yi Yu shook her head and smiled at her, and without explaining, she asked her to bring the bookbag she had prepared last night and put it on her shoulder. The two of them went out together.

At this time, most of the students in the courtyard have already gotten up early, although the Kunyuan is large, there are not many female students living there, like the children of those high-ranking officials, they generally do not live in the dormitory, most of them get up early to go to school, and go home after school in the afternoon.

Therefore, although the female students in this courtyard do not know each other, they are also familiar, and occasionally see the new face of Zhiyu, their faces are all surprised, and a few of them are also wearing ink gray clothes, and they don't forget to nod to Zhiyu when they pass by the master and servant.

Seeing that these people were kind, Yi Yu was in a relaxed mood, and all the way through the back garden, Chen Qucai parted ways with her and sent dishes to Ganweiju.

***

Yi Yu met Lu Zhi, who had been waiting there for a long time, at the intersection of Hongwen Road, and stepped forward to say hello with a smile, noticing that many people around him quietly cast strange glances at them.

As if he hadn't seen it, Lu Zhi sent the jade to the door of the academy, and whispered a few words to her before turning around and walking towards the academy.

Yi Yu tugged at the bookbag on his right shoulder, looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the academy, and ridiculously found that he was only a little nervous when he was approaching the door.

The courses in the academy were selected by Lu Zhi for her, the Confucian classics were selected as the "Three Classics", one for each of the large, medium and small classics, and the "Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects" were compulsory, which was easier than Lu Zhi's "Five Classics".

The first class of the academy every ten days is calligraphy, and Yi Yu found a teaching house with the name "Bingchen" in the east of the courtyard according to the schedule, and there were only 20 low tables in the room that could accommodate 50 people, with a mat under the desk, and a soft cushion on the mat.

At this time, there were only two or three people sitting in the teaching hall, and Yu Yu found her name on the low desk near the window in the third row, and she looked at the green shade outside the window, and sat down satisfied.

Each four-foot-long low table has been placed on the four treasures of the study, the quality is excellent, and there is a small green bamboo tube containing water, she saw that the time was still early, so she laid a piece of paper. After grinding, start practicing calligraphy.

After another quarter of an hour, seeing students walking in one after another, Yu Yu stopped her pen and carefully placed the ink-dipped brush on the boxwood pen holder beside her.

In the end, it is the highest school in the Tang Dynasty, except for a few people who are out of tune like Changsun Zhi, the quality of the students here is indeed very good, even if they found a young strange girl like Yi Yu, they only showed a look of doubt in their eyes, and after seeing Chang Sun Xian, who was accompanied by a man and a woman, Yu Yu's eyes were slightly trance, and he secretly said a coincidence.

At three o'clock in the morning, there was a long bell ringing in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man holding a scroll walked into the "Bingchen" teaching house, and Yu Yu recognized this person as the scholar surnamed Fang at the Gaoyang banquet, Fang Yijie.

Seeing him, the students present took the initiative to get up and say hello, Fang Dianxue nodded in response, and swept around the room, looking at the jade that also got up, the somewhat serious face showed a smile, and after coughing lightly, he said to the students in the room:

"Sit down."

After Fang Dianxue sat down on the table opposite the students, twenty male and female students sat down one after another.

"Before class, according to the rules, please ask the new students who came today to write on the ink wall." Fang Dianxue sat behind the desk and nodded at the relict jade.

Yi Yu bowed lightly to everyone as Lu Zhi had explained in advance, picked up the brush on the pen stand, evened out the ink in the inkstone, and turned around and walked towards the back of the teaching house.

There is a white wall behind the teaching house, half of which has been written in a regular manner, at first glance it is still poetry, but in fact it is all irrelevant single words, this is the tradition since the establishment of the school, all new students should mention a word on the ink wall behind the teaching house, which is "falling words." ”

At first, the rule of "falling characters" was only a standard for whether the calligraphy level of the person who wrote the word would be improved in the future, but in recent years, this tradition has gradually changed its taste, and this character has become a standard for assessing the ability of the person who writes.

Don't look at only one word, but the saying is big, the glyph, font, and meaning of the word, the three layers add up to reveal a lot of things, so most students will take this opportunity to rack their brains to be brilliant, so as not to be underestimated in the future.

Yi Yu glanced at the wall a few times, and saw that many students were still writing around words closely related to Confucian virtues, conduct, scriptures, and arts.

After she turned sideways and sat down, Changsun Xian, who was sitting in the last row, saw the word she wrote clearly at a glance, and there were two points of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

Fang Dianxue didn't comment too much on the words of the left jade, and after only praising it, he asked the students to take out the handwriting sent by the school, and picked one for everyone to practice, while he walked back and forth in the room, bending down from time to time to give advice to individual students.

This class lasted for a full hour, and when the bell rang again, Fang Dianxue turned around and left the teaching house, and before leaving, he took a look at the relic jade who was burying his head in packing up his things.

As soon as Fang Dianxue left, the students also began to pack up their things, and the class arrangement of this Guozijian was relatively relaxed, with one class each day and one turn off on ten days.

After spending the morning peacefully, Yu Yu's mood rose in a straight line, and the people in the church hall also walked out with their schoolbags after half of them, but they were stopped by a shout before they reached the door.

"Lu Yiyu."

This voice was indeed abrupt, neither the shouting Miss Lu nor the shouting Miss Lu, but directly calling her maiden name, which can be described as a great disrespect. If it is a different place, I am afraid that Yu should not be this person, but this is a place where the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden, and it is also a place for the children of officials above the seventh rank of the dynasty.

Pouting, Yi Yu turned around a little heavily, and saw a man and two women left in the back row of the teaching house.

"Come here." The girl sitting on the right side of Changsun Xian with a jade hairpin in her hair frowned at Yu Yu and shouted again.

Yu adjusted his breathing, walked over slowly, stopped three steps in front of them, and lowered his head.

"Tell me, what do you mean by writing that word?" The girl with the jade hairpin showed a trace of impatience on her face, and after glaring at the jade, she asked.

Yi Yu paused for a moment before replying: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone should be loyal to the king. "It's not bad at all, I can't find fault with it at all, so people don't even have a chance to question it, Zhongjun, when it comes to "Jun", who dares to say more than half a word of negativity.

The eldest grandson Xian, who was holding the pen in her hand, paused her fingertips, raised her head and glanced deeply at the Yu Yu who was standing with her head bowed with a pair of bright eyes, before she lightly opened her lips, "It's good that you know it in your heart, let's go." ”

Yi Yu bowed slightly, turned around and tightened the bookbag in his hand, and walked out of the teaching house quickly.

When her figure disappeared behind the door, the golden hairpin girl snorted and said with some disdain: "It's just that, the poems at the banquet that day must not have been written by her, if it is Lu Zhi of the Tai Academy, I still believe it more." ”

Changsun Xian shook her head slightly, put down the pen, got up and walked to the ink wall with the two of them, pointed to the word "loyalty" written on the jade, and said slowly:

"You take a closer look at this word, and then think about it with your brain, don't be like those daughters who don't learn and don't know how to do it."

On the ink wall, the slightly delicate "loyalty" character is written in a decent manner, but if you look closely, you can find that this character is too upright, and the vertical point in the middle of the "middle" character in the upper part reaches the "heart" word below, and this "heart" word is amazingly the same as the width of the word "middle". (Ask for a pink ticket) (!) )
