Chapter 278: The Prince Cares About You
Although Ren Cong was a scholar of Wenzong, and his career was just a means for him to carry out his personal ambitions, he also knew that this method was very effective.
Wenzong, like Daomen, although he is transcendent in Sanwang, if he wants to have an influence in the world, he must not leave the imperial power behind.
Master Ren's ambition is in education, and he has been recognized by the sage (emperor) before, and he is a disciple of Wenzong, ready to show his strength, but he was suddenly picked by the public school superintendent. Ren Cong thought that he would only be able to "make a small fuss" in the local public school in the future.
Unexpectedly, this time I brought students to the exam, but I took on such a big task! Old Master Ren is worthy of being well-informed. After the initial shock, a lot of key information was read from the prince's words-
The saint deposed him at the beginning, and there was a deep meaning behind it, but the saint is not in a good condition now, which made him have a "sharp rise and fall";
The prince is already taking over government affairs, and as soon as he takes over, there will be an important Chunyu and Yingjie meeting...... This is the rhythm of gradual passing;
The alternation of history will inevitably lead to some turmoil. But his appointment by the crown prince means that he is tied to this history;
The most important thing is that the learning method that I studied in Wenzong is still being implemented in the Beijing Public School! Moreover, after serving as the chief examiner of Chunfu this time, his set of theories is likely to become the real mainstream......
Therefore, Old Master Ren is in a very complicated mood at the moment. Of course, apprehension is not the main thing, because the old master also firmly believes that there is no problem with the theory he has studied through exhaustion. It's not so much apprehension as it's excitement – the excitement that a long-cherished wish is expected to come true.
However, after the words of encouragement, the prince also seemed to feel that his task had been accomplished. He held the old master's hand and didn't let go, so he opened another topic-
"Master Ren...... I heard that you have accepted an interesting new disciple - Zhou Daoan of the Yuzhang Zhou family, right? He also came to the capital with you, right? ”
"Huh?" The old master, who was immersed in imagination, was suddenly startled, and he subconsciously thought of Zhou Daoan and Xia Chengyin, and Xia Chengyin's father was the prince's closest teacher, so he ......
"Master Ren doesn't need to worry too much, the prince is interested in him because of the drama script made by the disciples......" Liang Dagong immediately explained on the side, so as not to misunderstand the old master.
Ren father and son let out an "oh" and relaxed slightly. He is being relied on by the prince at this time, and he thinks that they will not be unfavorable to Zhou Daoan.
"Yongzhi did follow me to the capital - his brother Zhou Daoxuan is going to participate in the Yingjie Conference this year."
"Oh, it turns out that the Zhou family still has a lot of talents!" The crown prince replied—he didn't care too much about the more famous Zhou Daoxuan, after all, he himself was not interested in cultivation—"So, he's just coming to see and learn?" ”
Old Master Ren nodded yes, and the prince smiled "hehe", and said casually: "In this case, I would like to meet this young talent when I have time...... So be it! Although from this moment on, the master has to stay in the palace to hold the title, but tomorrow will be officially announced, when the master is officially led, he will be asked to come with him, okay? ”
Old Master Ren has no objection - although his disciple does not plan to become a leader, there is nothing wrong with getting the favor of the royal family. What's more, Old Master Ren thinks that Zhou Daoan is indeed very "interesting", if he can establish a good relationship with the prince, then the trouble of the Xia family will no longer be a problem, and he may even be able to use this to carry forward his thoughts in the future!
"Ahh Zhou Daoan, who was worried about the master and the crown prince, sneezed and rubbed his nose without noticing.
He had just walked out of Tingfeng Tower at this moment, heading towards his next destination, the outskirts of Beijing.
I returned to the inn in the middle of the night last night, and I slept a lot, and I didn't come to listen to the report of the wind tower until the next morning. After getting Zuo Wenfeng's approval, Zhou Daoan needs to continue to contact Su Qinghe, and now, he is about to go on a second "date".
The day before yesterday, the two chatted very speculatively. Zhou Daoan said goodbye in the second half of the night, and Su Qinghe didn't stay, but she made an appointment to continue to meet today, and she wanted to "ask" Zhou Daoan for a new song. After 3 days, the spring festival lasts for 9 days, and the Yingjie Conference also needs to last for 10 days, and then the Fengming banquet is ...... Su Qinghe has a new piano (although it is borrowed), but it still needs to be accompanied by a new song.
It's not that Su Qinghe didn't prepare the repertoire before, it's just that after listening to the "Yue Ren Song" composed by Zhou Daoan "temporarily", she had a new idea and wanted to ask Zhou Daoan to create a new song. After all, at the Fengming banquet, no matter how the old song is played with flowers or put on a new style, it is not as "new" as a new song - of course, the premise is that the song is good.
However, Zhou Daoan did not plan to continue to meet Su Qinghe in Fan Yuan. Although this trip to the Spring House did not bring him direct trouble, there were also many indirect troubles. He always had a shadow of Chunlouyun, so he simply made an appointment with Su Qinghe to go outside to "go out".
The suburbs of Beijing are not really suburbs, on the contrary, after thousands of years of development, the surroundings of Yongjing have been built very well. The suburbs of Beijing have now become a "scenic spot", with the so-called "Eight Scenic Spots in the Suburbs of Beijing" for the pastime of locals and outsiders to visit.
Su Qinghe has naturally been to the suburbs of Beijing many times, but Zhou Daoan is the first time.
In the "Lanshan" among the eight scenic spots in the suburbs of Beijing, Zhou Daoan met the Su family who were traveling in simple clothes.
The Su family is wearing a simple but slightly thick long jacket today, and the blue fabric would have made people look old, but the Su family here is only refreshing and elegant. With a white fur scarf, it reveals a little extravagance.
It seems that the Su family is quite afraid of the cold.
Xiao Fei held the piano and yawned from time to time on the side - since yesterday, although Liansheng Pavilion has been suspended, but the big and small affairs in the pavilion still have to rely on her as a big housekeeper, so yesterday when the Su family made up for sleep, Xiao Fei was not idle, and today she had to arrange travel, and she didn't sleep enough.
However, seeing that the young lady went out early today and arrived at the outskirts of Beijing before the appointed time, Xiaofei was a little surprised in her heart - she is a little reminiscent now! This Zhou Gongzi seems to have been favored by the young lady, otherwise why would the young lady, who has never liked to go out to play, brave the spring cold to come to this place that has already been visited?
However, although this Zhou Gongzi looks pleasing to the eye, he can't compare to those distinguished guests in the capital in terms of identity and fame! Why did the young lady choose him? It is difficult to understand the values of Xiaofei.
However, when Zhou Daoan's figure appeared outside the pavilion at the foot of Lanshan Mountain a little before the appointed time, Xiao Fei temporarily forgot this kind of question.
Because Zhou Daoan is indeed a little "cute" now. Seeing that he is very ordinary and even a little thin, Xiaofei can't help but have a little expectation for today's "outing".
Zhou Daoan saw that the Su family came earlier than him, and hurriedly politely "apologized". So, the group began to slowly climb up the trail of Arashiyama.
Arashiyama, as the name suggests, is a mountain that has been covered with fog for many years. Because the mountain contains a lot of sulfur mines, and there are even exposed sulfur rocks everywhere, it is not only smoky, but there is even a natural hot spring on the top of the mountain.
500 years ago, this hot spring was still the exclusive use of the royal family, and later the Zhao family "returned" this place to the people, and it became a place where everyone could enjoy. However, having said that, the management of the hot springs on the top of this mountain is actually still in the hands of the imperial court, and if you want to enjoy it, you have to pay money.
Zhou Daoan didn't plan to soak in the hot springs, but it felt good to take a walk in this smoky mountain. Especially with the company of beauties, the smoke of sulfur has not been treated with anything, and it does not emit a pungent smell, which makes Zhou Daoan, an outsider, feel very good at the moment.
"The sky is cloudy and foggy, and the galaxy wants to turn a thousand sails to dance. It is as if the soul of a dream has returned to the emperor's place. Wen Tianyu, earnestly ask me where I go?
I reported that the road was long and the sun was twilight, and there were amazing sentences in learning poetry. Ninety thousand miles of wind is moving. The wind rested, and the canoe blew the three mountains. ”
When poetry arose, Zhou Daoan did not suppress it, and directly "created" a poem. He doesn't care if there is a word card like "Fisherman's Pride" here, anyway, he will talk about it after reading it.
Li Qingzhao's words, the rhetoric has nothing to say, and the artistic conception is relatively close to the ordinary heart, which should be very popular with the hearts of intellectual women like the Su family. Sure enough, as soon as these words were read, Su Jia's eyes lit up slightly.
But before she could say anything, suddenly there was a comment from a person on the mountain in front of her:
What is the name of this word? I've never heard of it, so don't you just do it? ”
"Also, there are a lot of bad words. The sky is cloudy and foggy, and this place is far from reaching the top of the mountain! What's more, it's afternoon again, how can we talk about 'Xiaowu'! Only the first sentence does not fit the situation, and the rest does not listen! Hey, it's more appropriate to have only one sentence 'learning poetry has amazing sentences'! Hahahaha......"
The unbridled comments, coupled with the unceremonious laughter, are very provocative.
Because the mountain wind at this time was blowing from low to high, and the fog blocked his vision, Zhou Daoan did not notice that there were tourists in front of him. And the other party stood on a high place, but it was a tailwind, and he just happened to hear Zhou Daoan's chanting, so he judged unceremoniously.
Not only that, but after this person commented on the song, there were actually several voices echoing. Listening only to the voices, it is roughly inferred that these people are relatively young men, but they listen to the different accents contained in those words. Zhou Daoan guessed slightly, and then had an inference - these people were probably scholars who came to the capital to catch the exam, and they took advantage of the exam to relax and relax.
Sure enough, they walked a few steps, turned the mountain road, and found a platform halfway up the mountain. On the naturally formed boulder platform, there is an old pine with a huge crown, and the branches that protrude are like a canopy, and under the tree, there are some cushions and coffee tables in a row. On the seat, there were ten young people.
