Yao Guangping's face was gloomy, and he knew everything about what was happening outside.

If it is announced at this time that Yanling Academy has won the first place in Yunzhou, it will inevitably cause public indignation among those scholars outside, these people are really making trouble, they can't be caught, they can't be beaten, but if they are left alone, it will cause a big trouble sooner or later.

But if the final result is not announced, it is not reasonable, but there are some rumors that sit on the ground, and they are in a dilemma.

At this time, Yao Guangping looked in the direction of his right, but saw that the Quan Daoist appeared at some point, and nodded to him.

At this time, Yao Guangping made up his mind, got up, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "According to the rules of the Wenhua Competition, the first place in the Yunzhou Wenhua List is Yanling Academy, and Yanling Academy will go to Kyoto to participate in the final competition on behalf of Yunzhou. ”

After speaking, Yao Guangping glanced at Chu Yi a few times, and then left in a hurry.

Han Yu watched him leave, then retracted his gaze, looked at Chu Yi, and said with a smile: "The rest of the matter will bother the junior brother." ”

Chu Yi smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, it's difficult for me to do this with you." ”

Han Yu walked up to him, patted him on the left shoulder, and said earnestly, "The teacher has high expectations for you, don't let him down." By the way, he asked me to give you a message. ”

Chu Yi said seriously: "Senior brother, please speak." ”

"The teacher said that the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it. ”

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Before leaving, please invite senior brother to drink, how about it." ”

Han Yu said with a smile: "Let the junior brother break the bank." ”

Chu Yi smiled awkwardly, thinking that this Han Yu was really thick-skinned, and he didn't invite guests as a senior brother, but let his junior brother treat first, and it was a matter of course.

"Here in Xiangshan, don't worry. In addition, the academies of Shigu and Jishan are not a big problem, and they should be able to be controlled properly. As for the other academies, the junior disciples will seek more blessings for themselves. ”

Chu Yi said with a bitter face: "Senior brother, I really don't carry this pot!"

Han Yu laughed and said, "Do you have a choice?" Okay, let's go." ”

After speaking, Han Yu waved his sleeves and left the martial arts training ground.

After Han Yu left, Jiang Weifa and Zheng Zhiming, the two deans, walked towards him one after the other, first congratulated him, and then left in a hurry with two words of greeting.

In the carriage, Zheng Zhiming looked at Jiang Weifa and said with a solemn expression: "Are you sure you plan to do this? You must know that since someone wants to make a fuss about this, it is definitely not an ordinary person." Once this troubled water is waded, don't think about going ashore cleanly, or even die well. ”

Jiang Weifa sneered: "What's the matter? Lao Zheng, aren't you afraid?"

Zheng Zhiming hesitated for a moment, sighed a few times, and said: "A pair of eyes is better than a clear heart." To put it in my heart, Dean Xiao Chu really has nothing to say, he is really convinced. ”

Jiang Weifa was puzzled: "What do you want to say?"

Zheng Zhiming smiled slightly: "The line of sight circles your footprints." This sentence is really incisive. If in the past, my old Jiang would definitely not wade into this troubled water. But today is different from the past, this trip to the troubled waters is very interesting, you have to wade, otherwise life is so boring. ”

Jiang Weifa laughed and said: "Life is short for decades, and what should be enjoyed is also enjoyed, and something meaningful must be done." ”

The two deans returned to their residences and immediately issued a ban order to the students in Qingyang, and those who violated the order were expelled from the school.

After the ban on Shigu Academy and Jishan Academy was issued, Tao Xun, the dean of Lize Academy, also issued a ban order. As a result, four of the eight colleges explicitly forbade students from participating in this matter.

The other four academies have never made any movement, neither prohibiting nor encouraging, which belongs to the kind of laissez-faire posture, so that many people can't see what is hidden in it.

Yao Guangping arranged for people to deal with rumors with his left hand, and was busy preparing for his old mother's 80th birthday with his right hand. As the saying goes, both state and family affairs are correct.

But what made Yao Guangping angry was that this time he still did not find the person in charge behind the rumors.

For him, he just wanted to find the person in charge in Qingyang City. As for the person behind this person, he didn't want to ask.

However, to his relief, the invitation he sent to Chu Yi was accepted, and he was told that there would be a heavy gift on the day of his old lady's birthday.

In Yao Guangping's view, this heavy gift is naturally Dai Yu. Thinking of this, Yao Guangping rarely felt a little itchy.

Just when the rumors were getting more and more fierce, Xun Zhen stood up unexpectedly and only said two sentences: "The flow of pills stops at Ou Xuan, and the rumors stop at those who know." ”

This is a sentence said by Xun Zhen's ancestor Xun Zaizi in his book, in layman's terms, it means that the rolling sphere will stop when it falls into the depression, and the rumors will be quelled when they reach the people who understand.

These two sentences quickly spread throughout Qingyang, and those rumors quickly dissipated.

Yao Guangping likes to see it, and it is also the situation he wants to see the most. With Xun Zhen's action, it was a hundred times more powerful than his forcible suppression by force.

Xiucai can't explain it when he encounters soldiers, and when he deals with scholars, he has to be a more powerful reader.

Three days later, Chu Yi took Xu Zhong and Dai Yu to attend the 80th birthday of Yao Guangping's mother.

Today, Yao's Mansion is full of friends, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

When Chu Yi appeared at the gate of Yao's Mansion, the housekeeper standing at the door immediately greeted him with a smile, walked forward quickly, and said respectfully with his fists: "I've seen Dean Xiao Chu." ”

Chu Yi picked up the invitation card from Xu Zhong's hand, handed it over and said, "Steward Li is busy with affairs today, so he doesn't have to entertain him personally. ”

Steward Li's heart was hot, but he didn't expect that this famous Dean Xiao Chu would know that his surname was Li, and suddenly a warm current passed through his heart.

"Dean Xiao Chu is an adult and distinguished guest, how can he be abrupt. Please come with me!"

Steward Li personally led Chu Yi into the gate of Yao's Mansion, and his demeanor was extremely respectful and humble, which made those who didn't know Chu Yi's true face look a little strange.

Steward Li is the chief administrator of Yao Guangping, and his status is respected within Yao's Mansion, and not ordinary people can see him.

To be able to be personally received by him must be a distinguished guest.

"You don't know this, this person is the dean of Xiao Chu, and he is also the son of Chu Jianfeng, the current loyal and brave marquis and the secretary of the military department. A middle-aged man dressed in purple explained.

"It turned out to be him. No wonder Steward Li was respectful to him, and it was rumored that ..."The man in white beside the man in purple suddenly realized.

"Shhhh Mr. Guiwu has personally explained that it is a pure rumor. The man in purple hurriedly interrupted.

"Mr. Keguiwu is Dean Xiao Chu's husband, and Mr. helps students speak, which is also reasonable, and it seems that he can't give a reasonable explanation. The man in white was puzzled.

The man in purple looked at the man in white with strange eyes, and secretly wondered why he was talking so much to a stranger. Simply, the man in purple turned a deaf ear and walked quickly towards Yao's mansion.

The man in white smiled slightly and said, "There are many things for everyone to become tigers, and everyone is lenient with Jinjun." Funny tight. ”

Immediately, the man in white opened the folding fan and walked towards Yao's mansion with a smile.

Steward Li led Chu Yi to Yao Guangping's study.

"Little Hou Ye, the master is waiting for you in the study. Steward Li said respectfully.

Chu Yi was slightly stunned, this Steward Li changed his words and called him Little Marquis, which means that Yao Guangping is most likely on his side.

"There's a Steward of Lao Li. Chu Yi hugged his fists.

"Little Hou Ye, please inside. Steward Li pushed open the door of the study and motioned for Chu Yi to enter.

Chu Yi thanked him with a smile and walked into the study.

Yao Guangping was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Chu Yi coming over, he smiled: "Virtuous nephew, how do I write this character?"

Chu Yi pretended to be stupid, walked closer, stared for a moment and said: "My lord's blessing character, the pen and ink are vigorous, and the charm is lofty, which is the style of a famous family." Moreover, it also implies the five glyphs of 'son, field, talent, longevity, and blessing', which means 'many sons, many fields, more wealth, more longevity, and more blessings', especially this unsealed blessing word, which means 'boundless blessing and boundless blessing'. This blessing word is the most suitable for the old lady's birthday. ”

Yao Guangping was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chu Yi to take a few glances and say so many ways in one breath, which was beyond his expectations.

"I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew also studied calligraphy. Yao Guangping applauded.

Chu Yi smiled faintly, and secretly said that these skills of reading and dismantling words were still a little bit learned from Jing Wuming, but they were enough to fool these people.

"Your Excellency has won the prize. ”

Yao Guangping glanced at him twice, lowered his voice and said, "There are no outsiders here, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to be so polite, he looks angry." ”

Chu Yi could only be cheeky and said seriously: "I received a letter from my father two days ago, asking me to congratulate the old lady on his birthday on his behalf and wish the old lady a long life and good health." ”

This sentence was just a lie made up by Chu Yi, where did he receive a letter from his father Chu Jianfeng, but he just took this opportunity to test the relationship between Yao Guangping and his father.
