Chapter 58: Taixue
The weather gradually cooled down, and when I woke up, a cool breeze poured into the back room. Shen Ao shivered, only to find that the window was not closed, and he went to close the window dizzily. Chun'er curled her hands into a trumpet shape outside, shouting: "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, there is a monk in the mansion today, and Madame has called you over." ”
It's Chun'er, Shen Ao poked his head out excitedly, and said with a smile: "Chun'er, you're okay, come, come in and talk." ”
Chun'er Qiao blushed to the root of her ears, stomped her feet, bit her lip and said, "Miss told me to ignore you, and not to enter your house." "Span around and go quickly.
Wow, it hurts people's self-esteem too much, the harsh government is like a tiger, I can't imagine that Shen Ao is more terrible than the harsh government.
Shen Aojiao went to put on his clothes, and remembered that his stomach was empty, and he wanted to go to the dining room to find something to eat, but he thought that his wife was waiting for a reply, so he couldn't delay any longer, so he rushed to the Buddhist hall in a hurry, and met a few girls on the way. When they saw Shen Ao, they all grinned, and looked up and down at Shen Ao.
Shen Ao walked past them, and heard their voices whispering: "It's this Shen Shutong who is teasing Chun'er, yesterday I saw Chun'er enter his bedroom, and then the eldest lady took her out angrily......
"Yes, yes, Chun'er hasn't spoken to anyone for a day since she came out there, even Xiang'er, who is the best friend of her, didn't pay attention, Xiang'er said that she cried when she saw her last night."
This voice reached Shen Ao's ears, Shen Ao looked back, murderous to see who was talking bad about people behind here, those girls suddenly scattered, and all of them ran away. It seems that Shen Ao's reputation is not very good in the minds of the girls, and his reputation is very stinky, similar to the hooligans and bad guys on the street.
However, men are not bad and women are not loved, although these people are pointing and pointing, there are clearly a few people with a little posture who did not forget to send Shen Ao a secret autumn wave when they left.
"It's too bad, it's too bad." Shen Ao was very pure in his heart, but when he thought of Chun'er, his mood was a little low. He is a man, so he is naturally not afraid of what people say, but Chun'er is different, no wonder Chun'er is like this to him today, it seems that he has to quickly eliminate the impact of this matter.
I arrived at the Buddha Hall full of worries, and now that Shen Ao's identity is different, naturally no one needs to report it. walked straight in, there were still a lot of people inside, the most eye-catching three bald monks, Shen Ao recognized, one was Kongjing, the other was Kongding, and the other was the little monk Shi Xiaohu, who was said to be good at martial arts.
The two big monks sat on the futon, the little monk sat in the middle of them, the big monk was giving the scriptures to his wife, but the little monk was holding his eyes motionless, as if he was settled.
The lady knelt on the futon, with a reverent face, and kept nodding her head, echoing the words of the great monk. Chun'er stood behind Madame and when she saw Shen Ao coming in, she hurriedly turned her face away. Shen Ao could clearly see that there were crystal tears trembling under her eyelashes.
Shen Ao glanced at her very distressed, he was a casual person, and he couldn't imagine that a small thing would cause her such a big embarrassment. No, I am a man, I have to be responsible, and when I find the ring for the prince, I will settle this matter.
On the other hand, Zhou Ruo, who was sitting on the side of his wife, glanced at Shen Ao coldly, and his contempt was fully revealed. Shen Ao saw it in his eyes, but he didn't slander it. If you know your mistakes, you have to admit them, and if you are beaten, you have to stand upright, yesterday I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, I just thought it was a joke, but seeing the consequences today, and then looking at the poor Chun'er, Shen Ao knew that this was not the time and space where the beasts danced wildly. Although Zhu Zi has not yet debuted as a false seriousman, there are still some things that must be taboo.
Seeing Shen Ao come in, the lifeless little monk who tilted his head suddenly showed joy, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, what about fun things." "This little monk remembers his surname very well, and he still remembers that Shen Ao said goodbye last time that he would bring him something fun. Wow, it's realistic, people who know martial arts are different, and they are so justified even when they ask for gifts.
Shen Ao laughed, he went to see Mrs. first, and Mrs. said with a smile: "Look, the Lord is here, the two Zen masters have been waiting for you for a long time, you sit down, where is Heng'er?" Why didn't I see anyone else in these two days, and I taught him to listen to the truth of the two Zen masters, and this heart is not so wild. ”
Zhou Ruo said: "My father is looking for him everywhere, and he doesn't dare to come out." ”
Shen Ao took the opportunity to glance at Chun'er, and saw that Chun'er was also a little cold, after all, it was still a girl's surname, and no matter how sad she was, there was a time to stretch. Shen Ao winked at him, and she suddenly panicked again, hanging down to dodge.
The little monk Shi Xiaohu said again: "Master Shen, what about the fun things." "He is unforgiving, full of longing.
Poor Dingjing and Dingkong, the two great monks, coughed again and again, panicking, in front of the lady, they were not good at teaching this disobedient child, but he was messing around, and he couldn't let go of this face. When people look at it, wow, they still have to be a high-ranking monk, and they can't even teach the little monks well, so how can they mix in the monk world?
Shen Ao grinned and said, "I forgot today, I'll bring it to you next time, who knew that you would suddenly come to the door." ”
Shi Xiaohu thought about it, nodded very seriously, and said, "Okay, next time you must remember it, don't lie to me." ”
"How dare I lie to you, the book boy is most afraid of violent men." Shen Ao thought to himself, and hurriedly agreed, not daring to entangle with him again. Xiang Dingkong said: "Zen master, I don't know what you are doing today?" ”
Kong Dingdao: "I'm ashamed to say it, here's the thing, that time you left a treasure in the temple, and now there is a donor in the temple, who values your painting very much, saying that he wants to see the donor." ”
"See me?" Shen Ao smiled, but then thought, this person wants to see me, just find someone to inform me. Lingyin Temple is a large temple that the imperial court promulgated the golden book, and even labored two Zen masters to invite people, and this person's identity is not ordinary.
But well...... Did the book boy just go? If you don't go, you have to come by yourself, dozens of miles away, when a person is a dog? Summoning comes and goes.
Shen Ao made up his mind and said with a slight smile: "If Zen Master Lao Kongding goes back to tell him, he will say that I am not well, so I will not go." He pursed his lips, smiled, and continued, "If he is in a hurry, come to see me at the Guogong Mansion." ”
Mrs. also helped: "That's the truth, this person is too unreasonable, Shen Ao is not a slave, how can there be such a toss, go back and tell him that he is coming, the Guogong Mansion will open the door to greet him, if he puts up a fight, the stone lion in front of the Guogong Mansion will be so discolored?" ”
Madame means that our Guogong Mansion also has a score, and she didn't treat Shen Ao as a person, put it on the score, and went aside.
Kong Ding was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "It's really presumptuous, since the donor doesn't go, the poor monk has no reason to invite again." We're leaving. ”
Shen Ao stopped him and said, "Since you're here, why do you have to leave so quickly." ”
Kong Ding really wants to stay, and it is good to learn calligraphy and painting with Shen Ao here. The last time Shen Ao left a poem and painting of a cloth bag monk, he pondered for a long time, and finally had some understanding. However, thinking of the guest who was still in Lingyin Temple, this thought was dispelled, and said: "If you enter the city next time, you will definitely come to visit, but now I am afraid that I will not have a chance." ”
When it comes to this, they can only let them go, Mrs. personally sent them to the outer mansion, turned around and came back with Shen Ao, and said: "The lord liked you very much yesterday, and said a lot of benefits to you at night, Shen Ao, you read more these days, maybe ......" She smiled and said very kindly: "Maybe in a few days, you don't have to go to Taixue as a scholar, the master is active, see if I can fight for a place for you." ”
If you enter Taixue, you are equivalent to a tribute, which is equivalent to not having to go through the lower-level Xiucai exam, and you have the qualification to directly take the provincial exam.
At this time, there were a large number of students, in the thousands. Most of them were recruited from the outstanding sons and daughters of officials below the eighth rank or ordinary people. In addition, Guozijian is also called Taixue, and the students in it belong to the category of tribute students like Taixue, but the recruited students are the children of officials or noble clansmen above the seventh grade. Shen Aojin's Taixue is different from Zhou Hengjin's, but well, their identities are still the same, and ordinary people call them Taixue.
Shen Ao said gratefully: "There is Lao Guogong and his wife who have bothered. ”
Madame just smiled, and said in her heart: "Shen Ao has a noble person to help him in his life, maybe I am the destined nobleman, and this child will definitely be extraordinary in the future." ”
