Su Ling stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Li Yunji with a serious face, and asked puzzledly: "Second stunned, you are so dignified, why are you asking this question?" ”

"You don't care about this, just tell me how to become a student of Taihu University."

Seeing that Li Yunji was so persistent, Su Ling didn't think much about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he informed Li Yunji of the admission qualifications of Taihu University.

Taihu University is a top university in Nanyang, and the entrance threshold is extremely high.

The students inside were either extremely gifted or from illustrious backgrounds.

Even Qin Xi'er's brother Qin Chao was able to enter Taihu Academy because of Tomohua's blessing.

With such a request, the four girls obviously have no chance.

"There's no other way?" Li Yunji didn't want to give up easily.

Su Ling frowned, falling into deep thought.

"There are ways, but it costs money." Judging from Su Ling's expression, it seems that this money is quite a lot.

As soon as Li Yunji heard that it could be solved by spending money, his heart ignited hope, "That's easy to do!" ”

Su Ling's face sank, and his face was embarrassed, "It's not easy to do." ”

"Why?" Li Yunji realized that things were not simple, and stepped forward and asked.

Su Ling squirmed for a long time, but still refused to say the reason.

Seeing this, Qin Xi'er smiled lightly: "The way Her Royal Highness the princess said won't be to find Kang Shihong, right?" ”

Su Ling's face changed, as if he was told by Qin Xi'er.

Li Yunji asked reluctantly, "Kang Shihong? ”

Qin Xi'er covered her mouth and snickered, and then said eloquently: "This Kang Shihong is not simple, he is Kang Xiaoyuan's only son, and there have been many scandals with Her Royal Highness our princess." ”

"Xi'er!" Su Ling's mouth curled, and he interrupted Qin Xi'er's words with a displeased expression, "What kind of scandal, it's that he is amorous!" ”

"He's a villain who fell into the eyes of money, what qualifications does he have to have an affair with this princess?!"

The more Su Ling spoke, the more angry he became.

Li Yunji heard the clues, and the corners of his mouth raised, at least not without a chance.

It seems that in order for the four girls to succeed in enrollment, they have to meet this Kang Shihong first.

"Can Her Highness introduce me to me?"

Although he was reluctant, for the sake of Qin Xi'er's face, Su Ling still agreed.

Qin Xi'er saw that Li Yunji was quite interested in this matter, and she was also a little curious, and asked Li Yunji in a low voice: "Why did you inquire about this matter?" ”

Li Yunji glanced at the girls who followed behind him and told Qin Xi'er what happened.

Qin Xi'er was a little surprised after hearing this, and raised her eyes to look at Li Yunji beside her, first a little jealous, and then there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

is jealous because Li Yunji is so concerned about the affairs of the four girls, as a woman who loves Li Yunji, Qin Xi'er inevitably has some minds in her heart.

And it was also because of this that several girls were lowly as maids, but Li Yunji still took their affairs to heart, and this kind of righteousness once again held Qin Xi'er in check.

Sure enough, he answered the sentence: When he likes someone, his farts are fragrant.

Under the leadership of Su Ling, a few people bypassed a few streets, and finally came to Taihu Academy in the south of the city.

It is worthy of being the first university in Nanyang country, and even the location of the college is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

In front of the college, there is the Taihu Lake, which is several feet wide, and the surface of the lake is sparkling, and the water is like green.

Occasionally, I saw a few small boats rowing by, all of them were students dressed in college uniforms, swaying and swaying, which was very comfortable.

Behind the academy is the legendary Mandarin Duck Mountain, which is not tall but luxuriant.

The road up the mountain is fenced by the locals, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the laughter of several pedestrians on the way adds a bit of aura to the lush scenery.

The college is located in the middle of the mountain lake, the scale is huge, the tall main gate is comparable to the city gate, and the four big characters of Taihu Lake College are hanging high on the beam.

Looking inside, there are dozens of classrooms of all sizes on both sides of a spacious stone walkway, and the sound of reading loudly comes from inside.

Even Li Yunji was shocked by this avant-garde teaching method and concept!

Except for Su Ling and Su Changqing, everyone without exception opened their mouths wide and had expressions of disbelief.

"Senior Brother Changqing, Senior Sister Su Ling!" Not far away, an excited voice came into everyone's ears.

When I turned my head, it was a delicate-looking man.

"Lin Xiao!" Su Ling was the first to recognize the man and waved to him enthusiastically.

"Lin Xiao? Have you grown so big? When I left Taihu Academy, he was so tall. Su Changqing looked surprised, and as he spoke, he gestured his hand to his waist.

"Brother Changqing, it's been six years since you left, and Lin Xiao is now Kang Lao's most proud student!" As Su Ling spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Li Yunji took over and said: "One is the most proud student of Kang Lao before, and the other is the most proud student now, Your Highness, you shouldn't have left Taihu Academy because of this kid, right?" ”

Su Changqing smiled bitterly, "Brother Li, am I such a stingy person in your eyes?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xiao trotted all the way to everyone.

After some simple greetings and self-introductions, Su Ling asked with an unnatural expression, "Old Kang, are you still angry with me?" ”

Lin Xiao paused, and then smiled awkwardly: "Senior sister, you didn't say goodbye at the beginning, the master was indeed a little angry, you also know his temper, if you don't apologize in person, I guess he will be difficult to forgive you." ”

When Lin Xiao said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Su Changqing.

Su Changqing turned his head and avoided Lin Xiao's eyes.

Su Ling lowered his head and sighed, "Alas, I have to be trained again." ”

Qin Xi'er patted her lightly on the shoulder and comforted: "Your Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to worry, Kang Lao is reasonable, and he will definitely not embarrass you." ”

Su Ling nodded, then suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked Lin Xiaodao, "By the way, Qi Fuzi has been okay lately?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Xiao's face sank, "Qi Fuzi he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Qin Xi'er realized that something was wrong and asked nervously.

"He... Passed away. Lin Xiao tried his best to keep the volume down, but it still caused a big blow to Qin Xi'er.

Qin Xi'er took two steps back, her eyes were red, her expression was in a trance, and she was unwilling to accept this fact.

While shaking his head, he muttered in a low voice: "Impossible, I still wrote to my master last month, impossible..."

Lin Xiao frowned, and said rather sadly: "Master Qi was seriously ill half a year ago, but Master Qi was kind-hearted, and he was afraid that his students would worry, so he specially instructed him not to make the news of his death public. ”

Qin Xi'er's brain went blank, and endless self-blame filled her heart.

Qi Fuzi, as Qin Xi'er's mentor, has taken care of Qin Xi'er in every way for many years, and it can be said that the reason why Qin Xi'er was able to enter the court as an official is because Qi Fuzi has made great contributions!

Since Qi Fuzi came to Zhongling City, Qin Xi'er has always wanted to visit, but Dali Temple is too busy to spare time.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to come to Zhongling City, I didn't expect to be separated from Qi Fuzi forever.

For Qin Xi'er, this is a hurdle that can never be overcome.

Night fell silently, Qin Xi'er never stepped into Taihu Academy, she sat by the lake in a daze, letting the evening breeze blow her hair.

Li Yunji has been quietly by her side, and he knows that what Qin Xi'er needs at this time is this quietness.

The moon looms high in the sky as it approaches the fifteenth day, and the pale moonlight shines on the lake, making it even more desolate.

Even the cicadas, which were still noisy just now, stopped chirping for Qin Xi'er.

"Say, am I unfilial?" Qin Xi'er opened her mouth slightly, her voice trembling a little.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, this is not your fault." Li Yunji turned his head to look at Qin Xi'er's side face, a little distressed.

"If I had come earlier, I wouldn't have been able to see the Master for the last time." Qin Xi'er said in a low voice, her tone full of loneliness and self-blame.

"Xi'er, is it really that important to see or not to see?"

Qin Xi'er turned her head, tears flashing in her eyes.

"I mean, even if you don't get to see Qi Fuzi for the last time, you're still his student, and Qi Fuzi is still your mentor, aren't you?"

Qin Xi'er lowered her head again and didn't speak again.

"I think it's not a painful thing, everyone can't escape death, death is the end of life, but not the end of life."

Qin Xi'er complained in a low voice: "Are you talking so obscurely? ”

Li Yunji smiled and said, "Xi'er, think about it carefully, who taught you all this knowledge in your mind now?" ”

"Qi Fuzi." Qin Xi'er almost blurted out.

"Although Qi Fuzi is gone, his knowledge, his spirit, his noble qualities... Haven't they all been passed down by you and Qi Fuzi's students? ”

After listening to the words, a trace of comfort flashed in Qin Xi'er's melancholy eyes.

Li Yunji continued: "From this point of view, isn't Qi Fuzi still alive in this world? ”

Qin Xi'er lowered her head and didn't speak, as if she was carefully savoring the meaning of Li Yunji's words.

A daring fish leaps out of the water in the lake and smashes a few ripples on the reflection of the moon.

Just like Qin Xi'er's state of mind at this time, there were ripples.

Under Li Yunji's concerned gaze, a smile finally appeared on Qin Xi'er's crying face.

"Thank you."

Qin Xi'er leaned on Li Yunji's shoulder, snuggling together like the Mandarin Duck Mountain behind them...
