Tokyo Bianliangcheng, Xuande Gate and Yijun Palace.

On the left side of the inner courtyard is an exquisite courtyard, which belongs to Zhao Feiyan, the lord of Zimu.

According to the Great Song Dynasty ritual system, royal women had to live in their mother's house before they got married, and they would be given a mansion after marriage.

Zhao Feiyan is the younger sister of Zhao Youyi, the king of Heyi County, and has not yet reached the age of marriage, so she lives here.

The west wing is a study, although the area is not large, but it is very stylishly arranged, several bookshelves and multi-treasure grid occupy almost all the walls, and only a few remaining spaces are also hung with celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

Zhao Feiyan was dressed in men's clothes and sat behind the table.

In front of her stood a young man dressed from the Eight Rank Mansion, who was Bo He Liang, the lord of the County King's Mansion.

He Liang's face was full of respect, and since the moment he stood here, he kept his head down, and never made eye contact with Zhao Feiyan.

Although he was full of affection for Zhao Feiyan in his heart, like everyone else in the house, he had fantasized more than once that he could marry such an excellent woman.

But the huge difference in identity and status, coupled with the reason in his heart, made He Liang clearly know that this is wishful thinking, instead of indulging in unrealistic dreams, it is better to focus on his own work, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will get ahead one day.

Zhao Feiyan held a letter in her hand, and the seal had been opened, indicating that she had read the contents inside.

This letter is from Xiayi County, Nanjing Prefecture, and it is the task assigned by her and Jiawang Zhao Kai when they served as the inspection envoy of the government test last time, and the Nanjing Mansion has done a very good job, and the latest news will be transmitted every few days.

In terms of identity, Zhao Feiyan is the master, He Liang is the servant, the master did not speak, and the servant naturally has no right to speak.

After a while, Zhao Feiyan spoke: "The county lord vaguely remembers that He Zhubo is from Nanjing Mansion, which county is from?"

He Liang hurriedly replied: "Xiayi County." ”

Zhao Feiyan made a sudden realization, nodded and said: "Yes, Xiayi County!

He Liang nodded: "Xiaguan is indeed from Xiayi County School, from middle school children to Xiucai, and then to the examination to raise people, except for a short period of time to go out to study, basically all stay in the county school, and benefit a lot." ”

Zhao Feiyan then asked: "Master He has been in the office for three or four years, is there still any connection with the county school?"

"Yes, every year when the lower officials return to their hometowns and provinces, they will take time to go to the county school to visit the teachings and the scholars. He Liang told the truth and said: "Xiaguan has a few classmates who stay in the county school, serving as the head of the dormitory, the teacher of the children's class and other positions, and we often exchange letters, so we still know more about the things in the county school." ”

Zhao Feiyan's expression revealed a hint of mystery, it was obvious that she knew these things, and because of this, she called He Liang to come over for questioning.

He Liang's qualifications are limited, but his greatest advantage is obedience, as long as it is something ordered by his master, he will do his best to do it well, and he never asks the reason, and he will not publicize it everywhere afterwards.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Feiyan does not need to have any scruples, and directly gets straight to the point: "Tell the county lord about the dispute between the four courtyards over there, the more detailed the better." ”

He Liang was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why the county lord was interested in Xiayi County School, but he still adhered to his previous character, and said without hurrying: "The dispute between the four courts appeared in the Shenzong period, and it has been more than thirty years now. ”

Jiefu Gong refers to Wang Anshi, and his character is Jiefu.

Song Shenzong has always admired Wang Anshi's talents, so immediately after ascending the throne, he ordered Wang Anshi to implement the reform, in order to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, known as the Xining Reform.

He Liang described the origin, development and current situation of the dispute between the four courts, and also took his participation in the competition as an example, and spoke in great detail.

Not only Xiayi County, but also other states and counties will also organize student competitions, and students will grow in the competition.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Feiyan frowned slightly and said, "Which branch do you think will win the championship this year?"

He Liang replied in the affirmative, and said: "Qindao, there will be no accidents! Qindao students are the strongest in the county, and Xiaguan firmly believes that this year's champion is still the Qindao Branch." ”

He himself was a Qindao scribe, and he had great respect for the Qindao Branch.

Zhao Feiyan showed a meaningful smile on her face, and said, "Thank you Lord He for talking about so many things, this county lord still has something to deal with, you can leave by yourself." ”

"The lower official retired. He Liang clasped his fists and saluted, then turned to leave.

When he was about to walk out of the courtyard, Zhao Feiyan opened her mouth and said to herself: "Not necessarily, this year is different from previous years, the world's first child was born and became the dark horse of the competition, the calligraphy branch is very likely to complete the reversal, and the piano academy is easy to overturn in the gutter." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the letter between her two fingers, and the letterhead slipped out of the envelope, opened itself in the air, and tumbled to the ground.

Although it was only a glimpse, there was the same name on each page of the letterhead, Qin Mo, and one of the pages appeared more than a dozen times.

Zhao Feiyan stood up, bent down to pick up the letterhead, and threw it into the brazier on one side.

The letterhead first emitted a puff of white smoke, then burned.

Under the reflection of the firelight, Zhao Feiyan's face became even more white and red, delicate and gorgeous.

She returned to her seat, reached out and picked up the file placed in the upper right corner of the table, and on the cover was written five large characters: The Case of the Star of the Holy Path.

......

Ahh

Qin Mo let out a loud sneeze, and the words he was writing were interrupted, and his handwriting became lifeless, and his previous efforts were wasted.

Gu Meng frowned on the side, and said with displeasure: "Ziyi, what's the matter with you, you sneeze three times in a quarter of an hour, plus four times of distraction, you are too inattentive!"

Qin Mo retorted, "Have you had so many times?"

Gu Meng nodded solemnly and said, "I'll count it for you, of course it won't be wrong! Do you kid think that if you advance to the second round with three consecutive wins, everything will be fine, and you will suffer a loss if you are complacent." ”

Qin Mo Zhengse said: "I'm not complacent, it's good to be tired, I practiced calligraphy until late at night for several days, got up early in the morning to practice, and had to be responsible for three meals a day for two people, plus one game a day, which was very energy-consuming." ”

Gu Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know how to cook, of course I have to come, besides, even if I am willing to do it, do you dare to eat what I make?"

Qin Mo shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "It's not that I'm afraid that you will poison me, but I'm afraid that I will be eaten to death." Otherwise, that's all for today, I'll have to get up early tomorrow to go to school, and there's another game to play in the afternoon. ”

Gu Meng also shook his head and said, "No, today's main dish hasn't started yet, just now I asked you to review what you learned before, and now I will start teaching you the skills to use in tomorrow's game." ”

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, and instantly came to his senses.

Nothing is more important to a scribe than learning a new skill.

Seeing his obvious emotional changes, Gu Meng was very satisfied and said, "The reason why I taught you so late is to avoid having ears on the wall." ”

Qin Mo's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter, someone came to the grass house to eavesdrop? ”

Gu Meng smiled faintly and said in a very ordinary tone: "Of course it's the guys from the Qindao Branch, how do you think they got the first place, and they don't let go of the champion position every year, how can they do it without some extraordinary means." ”

Qin Mo's eyes widened and said, "Aren't they afraid of being caught?"

"It is the teachings, not the students, who come to spy on the news. Gu Meng smiled and said: "As long as it is within the scope of the academy, the teachings can walk casually, what can you do if you catch a current situation, even if you pull down your face and quarrel with it, what is the use?"

Indeed, the other party can completely deny his eavesdropping and peeping, but it seems that he has a small belly.

Qin Mo won three games in a row as a newcomer, which was enough to arouse the idea of any opponent, especially Xu Chengye, who was a talent before the first test with Rick, and his opponent in the second round was Li Shengcai, so the people in the Qindao branch would naturally pay more attention.

In the previous two hours, Gu Meng noticed that three people with high positions appeared near the grass house, and stayed for a long time before leaving.

Obviously, they already knew the content of Qin Mo's practice tonight, and went back to give advice to Li Shengcai, if Gu Meng chose to start teaching after dinner, the content of the lecture would fall into the ears of the other party word for word.

In order to confuse his opponent, he deliberately let Qin Mo practice what he had learned before until late at night.

After listening to his explanation, Qin Mo shook his head and said, "Those guys are too chicken thieves, the result of the game is important, but can the friendship of classmates be ignored at all?"

Gu Meng smiled and said: "Since it is a competition, there will be winners and losers, and the more people who say that they don't care about losing, the more they actually want to win in their hearts." Speaking of which, these are human nature, and you don't need to care too much about it. ”

The course taught is still the ultimate writing of "single word for soldiers", yesterday it was about the writing of the "gun" character of Zhang Zhi, a half-saint of the Han Dynasty, and today it is the writing of the "halberd" character of the royal body, there are two kinds of writing in total, which are the writing of the sage Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi.

The father and son are not only very accomplished in calligraphy, but also both masters of cursive writing.

Gu Meng first demonstrated Wang Xizhi's writing, and after the pen walked away from the dragon and snake, he pointed to the handwriting and said: "The word 'halberd' of the Shusheng can be turned into a double halberd, instead of an ordinary long-handled halberd, and the corresponding character is the fierce general Dian Wei of the Three Kingdoms." In addition to being proficient in the use of double halberds, this person is also good at using hidden weapons, and he has more than a dozen eight-inch halberds hidden on his body, which can fly halberds to hurt the enemy. ”

Qin Mo kept the writing of this word in mind, and Gu Meng began to demonstrate Wang Xianzhi's writing, this time it also corresponded to the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms - Gan Ning, the general of the naval army of the Eastern Wu camp, who also used a double iron halberd, and his combat effectiveness was no less than that of Dian Wei.
