Chapter 4 Bamboo Horse
"Where is the son looking?"
In the study, Zhao Yuanming raised his face and reminded solemnly. Xu Jing entered the study for half an hour, and only wrote the first two sentences of the article, and his eyes kept drifting to the door of the study.
Xu Jing smiled, retracted his gaze, and pretended to think seriously, his mind had already flown out of the clouds.
On weekdays, Sister Crescent Moon has long found an excuse to come to the study to accompany him to write articles.
What's going on today?
Could it be that he said something wrong or did something wrong to make her unhappy?
Zhao Yuanming looked at Xu Jing's appearance of wandering in the world, and he also felt helpless.
In fact, Xu Jing is extremely intelligent and talented. It's a pity that I don't have to focus on reading, I have a lazy temperament, and I am very proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun.
Compared with reading, Xu Jing likes to practice martial arts, a long knife, and has never had an opponent among teenagers of the same age. And he is born with great strength, and he can easily pull out the three-stone strong bow, and he can hit 100 shots in 200 steps.
It's just that the Great Jin Dynasty emphasized literature over military force. Everyone in the world values reading, and they despise dancing with guns and sticks.
The children of the eunuchs of Beihai County have worshiped him, the great Confucian sect of Qingzhou, and learned the way of Confucius and Mencius in the Four Books and Five Classics. Xu Jing is his real personal disciple, and he has spent countless thoughts on Xu Jing, but it has little effect.
He has taught many excellent students, but in front of him is a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved!
Zhao Yuanming endured it for another half an hour, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "In an hour, if you are asked to write a three-hundred-word article, you will write five sentences!" Well, I can't teach you. Tomorrow I will go to the Beihai Mansion to ask the prince for his resignation! β
In this case, the Master will always speak ten times or eight times a month.
Xu Jing's ears were almost calloused, and he was not afraid at all, so he smiled cheekily: "Master, don't worry." The student was indeed a little stupid, and let the master bother. β
The attitude of admitting mistakes is quite sincere.
Zhao Yuanming's expression was a little pale, and he was about to speak, when he heard Xu Jing say diligently: "Why don't you invite Sister Yue'er to come over and teach me to write an article!" β
Get out of here!
Zhao Yuanming glared at him.
Xu Jing immediately shut up and lowered his head to make a busy appearance.
Zhao Yuanming maintained the appearance of a dignified cold-faced master, but he sighed gloomily in his heart, full of worry.
If everything is true as her daughter said, what should she do next to save the innocent people of the clan and Beihai County?
Also, the crescent moon avoided mentioning the encounters in her previous life, and she didn't know how many sins she had suffered. Today, he is so cold and alienated from Xu Jing...... Zhao Yuanming sighed silently.
At this moment, Chang followed Songshi in to report: "Master Qiyu, Huo Gongzi is out to see." β
Huo Gongzi in Songshi's mouth, with a single name and a derivative character, is the son of the Huo family of the Wang clan in Beihai County.
Huo Yan was smart since he was a child, never forget, and learned well, and entered Zhao Yuanming's door at the age of ten. At the age of thirteen, after being admitted to Xiucai, he continued to devote himself to learning. This year is the year of autumn, and with Huo Yan's talent and learning, it is not a problem to make a name for himself. Next year, I will be able to go to Beijing for the Spring Festival.
The proud protΓ©gΓ© came, Zhao Yuanming's tense face stretched instantly, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Let him come in." β
Eccentric eyes. Glancing at him, as soon as he heard Huo Yan's name, he smiled like a flower.
Xu Jing was indignant in his heart.
What's even more annoying is that Zhao Yuanming also opened his mouth and instructed the little guy: "Go and ask the young lady to come over." β
With a snap, the pen in Xu Jing's hand was broken, and the thick ink on the tip of the pen stained the paper.
Yes, the first five sentences were written in vain.
With Zhao Yuanming's cultivation, he was also so angry that he smoked, and shouted angrily: "Xu Jing! β
Xu Jing secretly said that it was not good, immediately threw down half of the pen, stood up, and sincerely repented and admitted his mistake: "Please let the master calm his anger." I was so focused on thinking just now that I couldn't control the strength of my hand for a while, and I folded my master's pen. Tomorrow I will send someone to bring a box of good pens. β
A slender young figure appeared at the door of the study.
The young man is also fifteen years old this year, with fair skin, a handsome face, wearing a shirt, and a bookish demeanor, smiling and bowing: "The student has seen the master. β
Zhao Yuanming didn't care about being angry with the unworthy disciple anymore, so he instantly changed his face and greeted the visitor with a smile: "Don't be polite, come in and talk quickly." β
Huo Yan thanked the master with a smile, stepped into the study, and bowed to Xu Jing: "I have seen the son." β
Xu Jing didn't have such a good temperament when facing Huo Yan.
He stood up straight, half a head taller than Huo Yan, and he didn't have to deliberately reveal a little contempt: "In front of the master, regardless of identity, I worshiped the master a few years earlier than you." You can just call me brother. β
Huo Yan was good-tempered, not annoyed at all, and changed his words with a smile: "I've seen senior brother." β
Xu Jing swaggered in response.
Zhao Yuanming looked at it coldly, and asked very gently: "The prince worshipped me as a teacher five years earlier than Huo Yan. Huo Yan won the show two years ago and wrote a splendid article. Dare to ask how the article is written? β
Xu Jing was unashamed, and opened his mouth to boast: "Under the careful teaching of the master, I have made a lot of progress. It's a pity that in my capacity, I can't participate in the imperial examination. Otherwise, I will definitely take a show before coming back, so that the master will be happy. β
I'm glad you would! Don't be angry with him!
Zhao Yuanming glanced at Xu Jing, who was unashamed, and called Huo Yan in front of him. Huo Yan respectfully handed the article to the master, Zhao Yuanming read it carefully, and before he finished reading it, his eyes were full of approval.
The familiar sound of light footsteps came to my ears.
It's the crescent sister who is here.
Xu Jing perked up and immediately stepped forward.
β¦β¦
Huo Yan moved a step slower, and watched Xu Jing step forward to offer courtesy, a crescent sister. Huo Yan's eyes darkened slightly.
He and Zhao Xiyan are the real childhood sweethearts.
The Huo family and the Zhao family are all Beihai clans, and his father Huo Hengwen and Zhao Yuanming were still classmates in the past. Later, Zhao Yuanming won all the way to high school, but Huo Hengwen's fame stopped at Xiucai. The biggest regret in Huo Hengwen's life is this one.
Fortunately, Huo Hengwen gave birth to a good son. Huo Yan has shown an extraordinary talent for reading since he was a child.
Huo Hengwen and Zhao Yuanming have a very close personal relationship, and they are good friends. When Huo Yan was learning to speak, he would call Sister Yue'er.
Later, Xu Jing suddenly appeared and became Zhao Yuanming's personal disciple, and studied with Zhao Xiyan in the Zhao family's study.
I don't know when his crescent sister and Xu Jing have become closer and closer. He, a bamboo horse, was slowly squeezed away.
Hum! It's just a straw bale! Relying on his identity as the prince of the North Sea, the master and the crescent sister had to endure a thing or two. Otherwise, how can he show off his power here.
Huo Yan suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart, and stared at Zhao Xiyan with a smile.
A fifteen-year-old fair girl, she is so beautiful that she is captivating the country and the city, and her demeanor is elegant. A smile and a smile are intoxicating.
"I've seen Brother Huo Shi."
The girl's voice was extremely pleasant, and her clear black eyes clearly reflected his figure.
Huo Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he returned the salute with a smile.
