Chapter Twenty-Four: Treat Me with Sincerity, and I Will Return It with Sincerity
With this roar, above Xiaoqingshan, a force rose to the sky!
This qi is mighty and powerful, but it is different from the ordinary haoran qi, and it seems to contain the changes of the innate yin and yang qi, which is really mysterious!
There are already scholars with keen spiritual sense at the foot of the mountain, looking at the green mountains from afar, they are surprised and inexplicable!
Which Confucian is this, what happened to him, and his emotions were so agitated!
......
Zou Yan was full of energy, he first felt that it was inappropriate, stood up, and apologized: "Everyone, I lost control of my emotions for a while, please forgive Zou Wei for being rude!"
Although it was an apology, the look was still unresolved.
Everyone was surprised, what actually annoyed Zou Wei, who was recognized as good-natured in the outer courtyard?
In addition to being surprised, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion about this sarcastic cultivation!
Although he was also teaching in the outer court, everyone had already heard that he had been asked to transfer to the inner court long ago because of Zou Wei's cultivation as knowledge, but he had the Taoist inheritance in mind and forcibly asked to stay in the outer court! Because the disciples who had entered the inner court generally had already established the concept of Confucianism and Taoism, and it was difficult for them to accept the new Taoist inheritance again. It's not like the disciples of the outer court, it's just a jade.
Looking at this unintentional leakage of cultivation under Zou Sarcasm's anger today, I am afraid that it has been a long time since the realm of enlightenment was consummated, and it is only a kick away from the realm of the great Confucian master of the realm of heaven and man!
"Brother Zou, why are you so angry?" Li Lan and Zou Yan have been friends for a long time, and they know his temperament very well, so they can't help but wonder.
Zou Wei shook his head and threw the test paper in his hand to Li Lu.
When Li Lan received it in his hand, he also looked at the jade card first, looked up and asked, "Brother Zou, this Ten Thousand Slaughter Tiger is that young man?"
Zou Yan didn't answer, he just felt like crying without tears.
Li Lan opened the test paper and couldn't help but praise it out loud, "What a chic word!"
Zou Wei looked up at the sky, bitter in his heart.
"Poof!" Seeing the first question, Li Lan suddenly laughed out loud, and when he saw Zou Wei's sad and indignant look, he could only hold back, "This young man is doing it on purpose, right?
This Li Lan's temperament jumped out, and he could see at a glance what this young man meant. Unlike Zou Sarcasm, his temperament is slightly old-fashioned, and he only feels inexplicable, but he didn't see it at the first time.
However, Zou Yan read the following questions, how can he not understand what this "Ten Thousand Slaughter Tigers" means now!
Li Lan continued to look down, the more he looked, the more funny he became, this character is excellent, but for Confucianism and Taoism, he seems to know nothing, and the answer is like deliberately making trouble. But this person writes with great sincerity, which is really confusing.
No matter what this young man thinks, the fill-in-the-blank and paraphrase in front of this must not be worth a point!
Li Lan forcibly held back a smile, and said with a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Brother Zou, did this young man deliberately give up the previous topic and win with that strategy! This is to show his disdain for the reputation of the top three, and the other is to highlight his confidence in his strategy?"
Zou Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw, and in his anger just now, he didn't even bother to read the first two pages of the strategy, maybe it was really so?
He didn't care about any courtesy, and as soon as he raised his hand, he snatched the test paper from Li Lan's hand and turned to the last page......
Li Lan shrugged his shoulders, his face was indifferent, he already fully understood Zou Wei's eagerness.
The talented and beautiful jade that was discovered, the descendant of the Taoist lineage, turned out to be a funny waste, how could he not be in such a mood!
Zou Wei grabbed the test paper in his hand, grabbed it tighter and tighter, and after a long time, he put it down weakly, revealing an expression of sadness that was more than death......
Li Lan hurriedly took it, and saw that there were only three words written under the blank space on the third page: "The so-called"
"Ah, what's next?" Li said unconsciously.
"Below, no!" Zou muttered, churning with the anger of this "Ten Thousand Slaughtering Tigers".
Zou Yan didn't hesitate anymore, strode away, and didn't look back: "I'm sorry for you to read the papers for me, and then send the top 1,000 people to get along with the management!" I can't wait, I'm going to go down the mountain and find someone to ......."
He was extremely fast, and before he could finish his words, his back had disappeared into the distance.
Li Lan also shook his head, sat down again, and started to read the papers again, but he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and he also wanted to go down the mountain immediately to meet this strange young man for a while.
......
Upstairs, after a while, the bear quadrant had come back panting, sat back on the chair, and poured two bowls of tea first!
Lin Hu and Xue Da didn't rush him, and waited quietly for news.
Xiong Sifang took a breath and smiled: "Fortunately, my father has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person!"
Lin Hu and Xue Da looked grateful, this Xiong Ruhai and Xiong Sifang father and son can really be said to be anxious for justice and righteousness!
"I really don't know how to thank Lord Lingzun! I have to deign to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person for the next thing! I'm really ashamed and ashamed!" Xue Da sighed.
"Hey, why should Brother Xue be like this! My father is the unlucky governor, and he doesn't know what he's busy with all day long, and he hasn't done a few good things. Now, if you can do a little bit for Brother Xue, you will be lucky!" Xiong Quartet waved his hand.
Xue Da wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Lin Hu.
Lin Hu picked up a pot of wine and poured a glass for each of the three of them: "Xue Da, you don't need to say anything more, Brother Xiong and us will be sincere when we meet in Pingshui." Needless to say, you and I will drink this cup together!"
"Okay! Words are useless! Others treat me with sincerity, and I will return it with sincerity!" Xue Da also raised his wine glass.
The three of them toasted together, drank it all! After drinking, the three of them looked at each other, and laughed at the same time, and their hearts were full of joy.
Xixi looked at these strange men while bowing her head and eating, and she didn't understand what they were laughing at.
......
As time passed, there were more and more people upstairs in this champion. Now it is almost full, and the downstairs of the champion is also crowded with people.
It has been more than two hours since the end of the school palace examination, according to the practice of previous years, this school palace is extremely efficient, generally only two hours, the top 1,000 results have been announced!
However, at this time, two big lists had been erected in front of the Gongyuan. One is bright yellow and the other is deep red. It's just that there are no names on the two lists yet.
Wait a minute, there will only be three names on the big yellow list, and that will be the top three this year! On that red list, there will also be 9,997 other names!
The atmosphere upstairs has become more and more tense, except for Lin Hu's table, everyone is looking at the two lists opposite, and they are nervous not to say a word.
Lin Hu's table seemed to have no matter what the big test was, and the three of them introduced each other as confidants, laughing in a low voice.
But three more people came up from downstairs, all of them were young Confucian scholars, holding folding fans, dignified appearance, and graceful demeanor. One of the people in the center chuckled, "Who laughed so loudly at the time?" It turned out that you were a fat bear! Why, this year's big exam is so sure?"
Xiong Sifang turned his head to look at these three people, and couldn't help but feel bad luck in his heart, glanced at them, as if he didn't want to pay attention to these three people, and turned his head to continue to talk to Lin Hu Xue Da.
"Xiong Sifang, how can you be so rude! You and I are called the four great talents, not to mention closeness, this basic etiquette is gone! It's really insulting!" the other reprimanded.
Before the Xiong Quartet could speak, Lin Hu stood up first and said coldly: "The basis of this ceremony is mutual respect! If you don't respect Brother Xiong first, where do you have the courage to reprimand Brother Xiong for being rude!"
When he heard this, his face flushed, and he opened his mouth to refute it.
Suddenly, I heard a loud voice sound: "Good one, the foundation of etiquette is mutual respect! Who said "etiquette"? Confucius and Mengzu or Xunzu, which of the Four Books and Five Classics can be seen?"
"This is a gift from my heart. I don't care who said that. Although he didn't see who was speaking, Lin Hu still replied.
At this time, in full view of everyone, there was suddenly one more person upstairs for this champion. Everyone didn't see where he came up from at all, he seemed to appear out of thin air, and stood abruptly in front of Lin Hu.
This person is a middle-aged Confucian scholar, with a high crown in a Confucian shirt, deep eyes, and a deep Yue Zhi.
At this moment, he was looking at Lin Hu with a complicated expression......
