Chapter 5: Reading Birds
After getting Xu's permission, Zhao Fulai went to prepare for Su Mu's admission.
Although Yashan Academy was founded by Confucian saints, Su Mu still had to say hello to Yashan Academy when he was allowed to study.
So he personally went to the school palace of Yashan Academy to meet with the dean and told him about letting Su Mu enroll.
And the dean of Yashan Academy was so shocked that he pulled off several of his beards after hearing that Su Mu was going to enroll, and then agreed without hesitation.
Although it is said that if you want to enter Yashan Academy, you must go through many selections, but what is Su Mu's identity?
Son of a Confucian saint!
With such an identity, let alone going to school in the academy, even if he was asked to give up the position of dean, he would not refuse.
Soon, the news spread throughout Yashan Academy.
Immediately after that, in just one day, the entire Shengjing was well known, and it suddenly set off an uproar!
"Oh my God! Su Gongzi is out of the house, and he is going to study at Yashan Academy! β
"Sixteen years, for sixteen years, Su Gongzi has never appeared in the outside world, and now he is finally out of the house!"
"The son of the Confucian saint, I really don't know what an amazing and brilliant character he will be!"
"If you don't make a sound, it's just a sound, and a sound will be amazing!"
"Why didn't Su Gongzi leave the house to study until now? It's strange that I haven't heard anything about it before. β
"You know what? No matter how good the outside learning is, it can compare to the family history of Confucianism? You can't hear about Su Gongzi, that's because people are low-key! β
"That's right! Look at those princes, all fighting cocks and walking dogs, only Su Gongzi has an excellent background, but he still concentrates on studying knowledge in the house, and he is worthy of being the son of a Confucian saint! β
"I see, teachable! Unexpectedly, Su Gongzi was so calm at such a young age, and he could endure sixteen years of concentrating on learning without leaving the house. β
"It is worthy of being a Confucian saint, I have a successor to Confucianism!"
β¦β¦
Almost everyone in Sheng Jing was discussing this matter.
There is no way, Su Mu, the Confucian saint and his son, is too mysterious, for so many years, outsiders have not even heard of him!
You must know that among the five great saints, the Confucian saint is the youngest, and the saints of other countries are at least over 100 years old.
Their descendants are not to mention sons, some even have great-grandchildren, and most of them are already famous.
Only Su Mu, the son of a Confucian saint, is unknown.
Because the aura of Confucianism is too dazzling, even Su Mu has received great attention.
Everyone is curious about how amazing this son of Confucianism, who has been closed for sixteen years, will be born once.
For a time, the whole Shengjing was surging.
All forces have their eyes on it.
Even the news reached the palace, and even Emperor Yan knew about it.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
A eunuch passed through the bead curtain and bowed to the figure behind the dragon case and reported: "Your Majesty, news has just come that the son of Su Sheng will enter Yashan Academy to study in three days. β
This news made Emperor Yan's pen hold hand pause.
Emperor Yan is over sixty years old, but his temples are only slightly white, and he still looks energetic.
The Great Yan Dynasty advocated fire virtue, so even the dragon robe was red, which made Emperor Yan more and more majestic.
After hearing the report of the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs below, Emperor Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at him and asked, "Are you talking about the Confucian son who has never left the palace for sixteen years?" β
It was hard to hide the surprise in his tone.
The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, not long ago, the sage butler personally went to the dean of Yashan Academy to tell him about Su Gongzi's study. Now this matter has spread in the city, and it is said that it is Mrs. Su's meaning. β
After hearing this, Emperor Yan fell into deep thought.
Su Mu was born with a lack of heavenly souls, he actually knew, fifteen years ago, the Confucian sage himself told him about it, but he poured all the treasures in the palace, but he couldn't cure it.
And the reason why Confucian Sheng left the Great Yan Dynasty fifteen years ago was also to go out to find the Soul Condensing Grass, and he knew all these inside information.
Now Su Mu is actually going to enter Yashan Academy to study, which means that the Heavenly Soul has returned!
This made Emperor Yan overjoyed.
"Could it be that the Confucian Sage has found the Soul Condensing Grass? But why didn't you see him come back......"
Emperor Yan frowned, he had been paying attention to the whereabouts of the Confucian Sage all these years, but there was never any news.
Although the world has been peaceful since the demon war many years ago, and there is no sword and soldier battle between the human race, there is no saint in the Great Yan Dynasty, and he has always been unable to feel at ease.
Seeing Emperor Yan frowning and silent, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing." β
"Su Sheng is such an amazing genius, the so-called tiger father has no dog son, and Su Gongzi will definitely not be inferior to his father."
"Maybe Su Gongzi can inherit the mantle of Su Sheng and become a person comparable to Confucian Sheng."
Emperor Yan sighed when he heard this: "There are only five fingers of saints in the world, and it seems that Confucian saints and others have not been able to do it for thousands of years." I can't have one of the Great Yan Dynasty who is already a favor of heaven, and the two saints are in the same dynasty, how difficult it is, I dare not think about it. β
Since ancient times, it has been remarkable for a dynasty to produce a saint, and more often than not, there is none.
You must know that the Great Yan Dynasty was originally the weakest of the five kingdoms of the Zhongzhou human race, until a Confucian saint appeared, so the country became rich and powerful in just a few decades, which shows how much influence a saint has on the fortune of the dynasty.
In today's five countries of the Zhongzhou human race, each country has a saint, which is a rare grand occasion in the ages.
It is precisely because of this that it can resist the iron hooves of the demon clan.
The eunuch, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said: "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and his martial arts are the best among the emperors of the past dynasties, even if there is a second saint, it should be." β
"It's just your ass." Emperor Yan threw the red pen on the head of the eunuch, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and scolded with a smile, but it was obvious that he was in a pretty good mood.
After all, since the founding of the Great Yan, a saint was born during his reign.
Such feats will surely go down in history forever.
The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs smiled with a smile on his face, picked up the imperial pen and presented it: "Your Majesty's lesson is that the slave and maid are guilty." β
In the palace, you need to please the Son of Heaven to last long, and it is obvious that this eunuch, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has the true taste.
Emperor Yan took the imperial pen from the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Su Mu is sixteen years old this year, and he has reached the age of marriage, right?" β
In this day and age, marriage has always been very early.
Both men and women are already at the age of sixteen to be able to get married, so it is not uncommon for women or men to become grandparents in their thirties.
Emperor Yan also suddenly thought of this, Su Mu is now sixteen years old, and he is at the age of marriage.
Now entering Yashan Academy to study, it means that the Heavenly Soul has returned to its place.
If Su Mu can be recruited as a son-in-law, the relationship between the royal family and the Confucian saint can become closer.
The most important thing is the bloodline of the Confucian saint, if the royal family can produce a saint in the future, it will be a great thing for the regime of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
"The slave thinks it's ......"
The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was smart, and Emperor Yan understood the meaning of the words with just one sentence, but before he could echo it, Emperor Yan waved his hand.
"That's it, there's no rush on this matter, I'll talk about it later."
Now that Su Mu has just returned to normal, he is in a hurry to marry at this time, which seems too utilitarian, so he might as well wait.
And he didn't think about the candidates.
After all, Su Mu is the son of a Confucian saint, but he can't just marry a princess, and his identity must be equal.
The eunuch, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, bowed slightly and stepped aside.
Silence returned to the Imperial Study.
β¦β¦
Su Mu has been staying at home for the past few days, following the housekeeper Zhao Fulai to learn various etiquette and rules.
For example, what kind of salute to meet and what kind of salute to speak, and so on, these are all things to learn.
Because these etiquette rules are necessary for daily social interactions, and it is still the place where Yashan Academy has the most readers, it would be a shame to do all of this wrong.
But fortunately, Su Mu's memory is quite outstanding, and he has memorized it in his heart after learning it just once.
This also made Zhao Fulai very excited, and he became more and more convinced that Su Mu was born with intelligence.
Three days passed in a flash.
Soon it was time to enter Yashan Academy to study.
Su Mu changed into the Confucian robe prepared for him by the Xu family, with a jade jue, he can be called a jade gentleman, and his appearance is really extraordinary, which perfectly fits the son of the turbid world described in the book.
Xu Shi looked at Su Mu's dress and became more and more satisfied: "It's good that the appearance is not with your father, otherwise my mother would have worried about how to choose a daughter-in-law for you." β
Does my dad look so stumbling......
Su Mu mourned for a moment in his heart for his father, who was lying on the gun for no reason, and said to Xu with a smile: "My mother was a heartthrob when she was young, and my father is really lucky to find a daughter-in-law like my mother." Of course, my mother is not old now. β
"If the two of us go out, we will definitely be considered sisters and brothers, Uncle Fulai, you say yes?"
Su Mu looked at Zhao Fulai next to him, and the corners of the latter's mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded.
He can pat himself on the back, but he can't be so sensy as Su Mu.
The wisdom of his young master seems to have gone in the wrong direction.
"Flamboyant, you don't know how many girls you want to deceive in the future, and you have a virtue with your father."
Xu Shifeng was stunned, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.
Su Mu immediately smelled the smell of gossip when he heard this, but he naturally didn't dare to ask in front of the Xu family, so he silently wrote it down in his heart, planning to go back and gossip slowly.
"Childe, the hour is almost up."
At this time, Zhao Ming drove the carriage and slowly stopped at the gate of the Demon King's Mansion.
Su Mu was going to Yashan Academy to go to school, and Zhao Ming was following as a companion.
After Xu's farewell, Su Mu walked to the carriage and was deeply shocked at first sight.
The carriage is luxurious and wide, surrounded by sun, moon, mountains and rivers.
It was not an ordinary horse pulling the cart, but six tall and mighty beasts.
The Son of Heaven drives nine, and the saint drives eight.
As a saint's parent, Su Mu has the same travel specifications as the prince, and he can take a six-car car.
As Zhao Ming waved his whip, the carriage slowly moved away.
Anyone who looks at this kind of travel specification will know that there is a big man with an extremely amazing identity sitting inside.
β¦β¦
The world outside the palace, Su Mu saw it for the first time.
He had been staying in the mansion for all this time, and it was only today that he really walked out of the mansion and came outside.
As the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, Shengjing is the most prosperous city in the entire Great Yan, with wide streets that can accommodate dozens of carriages galloping side by side.
The houses on both sides are lined up one after another, with large and small shops, in an orderly manner, and street vendors and pedestrians of all colors come and go, forming this prosperous and prosperous scene.
"Is this the mortal prosperity of the Xianxia world?"
Su Mu watched this scene through the gap in the car window, and felt that even in his previous life, the most prosperous Tang and Song Dynasty peaks, they could not be compared.
Being in the middle of it always makes him feel unreal.
He's really in this era now.
But at this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Is this stupid?" It's really insightful. β
Su Mu turned his head abruptly, and then was stunned.
I saw that the big red bird didn't know when to stay in its carriage, reclining on the soft seat, and holding a string of sugar gourds in its mouth that I didn't know where to find it.
"When did you come? Why don't you stay at home, what are you doing here? β
"And where did you steal this string of sugar gourds?"
Su Mu tugged at its neck and lifted it up.
I didn't see it when I woke up this morning, thinking that it was hiding somewhere to steal food, but I didn't expect to sneak into the car.
The red-haired big bird sneered when he heard this: "What kind of thing are you a yellow-mouthed child, my bird master has acted all his life, why do I need to explain it to you!" β
Su Mu's face was expressionless, and the strength in his hand gradually increased.
"Giggleββ!
The red-haired bird's tongue was strangled and spit out, and he slapped Su Mu's hand again and again: "I bought it with silver!" Bought it! β
"Bought it? Will you still use silver? β
Su Mu was surprised and said he didn't believe it.
The red-haired big bird said angrily: "Lord Bird, I am a spirit animal!" is a reading bird, how can he eat white food? Who do you look down on! β
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a piece of silver.
So Su Mu let go of it, took away all the silver and sugar gourd, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, confiscated." β
The red-haired bird was dumbfounded, deeply feeling the cunning of human beings, and trembling with anger and cold legs and feet.
"The Terrans are indeed the most cunning race! This guy is just as cunning as his father. β
Su Mu finished eating the sugar gourd in his hand by dividing it by two, and the carriage also drove out of Shengjing and went out of the city.
Yashan Academy is not in the city, but on the Yashan Mountain outside Shengjing City, I have to say that it is really hard to go to school.
At the same time, Su Mu also noticed that there were many gorgeous carriages on both sides of the road that were in the same direction as them, all of them were rushing to Yashan, and many students were on foot.
They all wore the same Confucian clothes.
This is the rule in the academy, in order to reduce the psychology of comparing wealth, all students are dressed the same.
However, Su Mu also saw that there were many tourists dressed in other clothes who were not disciples of the academy, and they were also rushing to the direction of Yashan.
After asking Zhao Ming, he explained: "Today is the annual Spring Poetry Meeting of the Academy, whether you are a disciple of the Academy or not, you can go to participate. β
"Poetry Club?"
Hearing Zhao Ming's explanation, Su Mu suddenly became excited.
He only has two major hobbies in his life, one is women, and the other is pretending.
I didn't expect to be able to catch up with the poetry meeting on the first day of school, which is a great opportunity to appear in front of people!
Those poems and articles he memorized came in handy so quickly!
Good! It's just great!
Su Mu took a deep breath and began to ponder in his heart which poem to use to fire the first shot in this world.
Just pondering, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the sneaky red hair on the side, and suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light.
"If you dare to pull it, I'll stick this skewer in your ass."
"Do you believe it or not?"
The red-haired bird who was about to poop on his clothes secretly on the side suddenly tightened when he heard the words, and his whole body stiffened.
It glanced up at the sugar gourd stick that Su Mu was playing with in his hand, and hurriedly flew to Su Mu's shoulder to flatter: "Where, where, Master Mu, you misunderstood." β
"I'm a reading bird, how could I do that kind of vulgar thing, that's what military cultivation can do."
Zhao Ming, who was driving, clenched the reins and gritted his teeth.
One day, he must stew this bird!
