Chapter 14 Painstaking Study
In the courtyard, the twilight was heavy, and the people had already hung up the lanterns, and against the unknown night, they hid in groups of three and two in the corners of the wall and exchanged corners.
Su Yan passed by here, couldn't help but grab the carved pillar, and secretly listened back to the corner, talking about Zuo Qing's return to Beijing.
I only heard a short man say: "The master in charge is the righteous son of Lord Shangshu Taimo, and he is more spoiled than his own child, and when he comes back this time, Lord Mo has already prepared a banquet, and he will take the wind tomorrow!" ”
The twelve or thirteen-year-old man continued: "I heard that Lord Mo is obsessed with weapons, and this time I went to Zhao to find the weapon spectrum that disappeared above the Six Kingdoms for Lord Mo. ”
The short man disagreed, "It's to get anything in the world!" It's just a book of ordinary weapons. ”
"Hehe, you are lonely and unheard, the weapon spectrum originated in the rivers and lakes, at first it was just a secret book that recorded the weapons of various sects, and then it flowed into the military camp of Zhao State, and added the art of war and the art of power and strategy. In the end, it became the family heirloom of the Xuan people, which can be said to be the culmination of the world and the strength of hundreds of schools. More than ten years ago, the wife of the commander of the Xuan clan still relied on it to establish the Weapon Villa, and laid an unshakable position in the Six Kingdoms, and the Xuan clan was also invincible on the battlefield and became a legend! ”
She had a decent tirade, but the short man was scared, "Say it lightly, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
She said disdainfully: "At night, the only person on the wall can only be Mr. Ge, I heard Sister Heshuang say that she never cares about the work of her subordinates, let alone an outsider like me." ”
Su Yan tiptoed away, thinking: I have heard about the Xuan family before, but the time is long, and I don't remember the specifics, and I don't know how much people are saying at this time, but the so-called weapon spectrum is like that.
Weapons spectrum... Could it really be that such a strange book can shake the Six Nations? It's weird. I thought about it, but I didn't see the road in front of me clearly, so I stepped on the air, but fortunately, someone dragged her and pulled her back.
Between this tug and pull, Su Yan clearly saw the panicked expressions of the two subordinates behind him, and knelt down in unison, "Mr. Ge, Mr. Su, the slave knows that she is wrong!" ”
Buddha asked with a cold face: "I haven't seen you, where is the errand?" ”
Both of them were dumbfounded, and the foreign slave replied: "Sister Heshuang is sick, and the slave and maid come to take her for the night... Slaves... The slave doesn't know the height of the sky, please ask Mr. Ge for forgiveness! ”
He Shuang is the kitchen maid of the Yan Shan Courtyard, Su Yan has never seen it.
Buddha said: "From now on, He Shuang doesn't have to stay in the Yanshan Courtyard, and you don't have to stay anymore, let's go together." ”
"Mr. Song..."The slave maid was even more anxious when she heard that the good sister was going to be arranged separately because of her too much talk.
Su Yan grabbed Buddha Zhen's arm and begged for mercy for her, "Forget it, she must have a long memory after this warning." ”
"Since He Shuang is a sister to her, she knows her temperament, but she still let her come to Yanshan Courtyard to talk nonsense, and dare to talk about the taboos of the court! If I don't punish him severely at this time, and the bad habit will become common for a long time, I'm afraid that the whole academy will think that I have no rules here. If there is any rumor outside the world one day, the first thing that comes to people's minds is probably my sake. ”
Su Yan sighed slightly. What the Buddha said is reasonable, this matter is not big, it is not small, and he seems to have no reason to insist anymore.
That is to say, the Buddha turned around and was about to leave, took two steps and stopped, turned back and said, "I have prepared a place for you, right across the door from me, you can go and have a look." ”
Su Yan hurriedly followed, "Then we can still visit the door from time to time, chat, and eat?" ”
The Buddha thought for a moment and said, "I have nothing to do on weekdays, so if you want to come, you can come." ”
Su Yan knew in her heart that no matter how close she was to her, she would be separated by many obstacles and would not be able to enter her heart, but it was good now, she didn't need to explain her identity and past, and she was fine.
Later, Su Yan specially went to ask about the whereabouts of Na Heshuang and the slave maid, only to find out that they were assigned to Broken Cloud Xuan. Aunt Jinyun, who is in charge of Broken Yunxuan, is Zuo Qing's subordinate, and she heard that she is very strict in managing people, so from this point of view, Buddha Xuan is also painstaking. After a while, it must be time for them to learn a lesson.
It's just that the slave who caused trouble was uncomfortable, and later I heard that she caused a few more things in Duan Yunxuan, all of which were caused by her mouth, and she was almost kicked out of the academy, and I don't know what great good things she did in her previous life, she was appointed by Zuo Qing and became a scholar who sorted out the books.
Two days after Su Yan moved into the new house, he thought about holding a banquet, so that he could be happy.
The academy invited a circle, but the eldest grandson Yue was embarrassed to come because he had offended the people first, so he politely refused after finding an excuse, and Jinyun Cheng never came back after leaving that day. But Zuo Qing couldn't be invited, after all, the relationship between them... Can't get too close. In the end, in addition to Su Yan, there was only Buddha sitting at the banquet.
Su Yan stared at the dishes on the table, a little sullen, but then relieved. Picked a plate of osmanthus cake and handed it over, "I heard the maid say that you love to eat osmanthus cake, but this year there are no materials in the academy, I just brought a sun-dried osmanthus from the countryside, so I asked the kitchen to make one, you eat and see, I don't know if the osmanthus in the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River tastes the same as Kyoto." ”
Buddha took a small piece and put it in her mouth, a strong smell of osmanthus spread on the tip of her tongue, she nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her face, "Like, but the taste is stronger." ”
Maybe it's the family affection that blood is thicker than water, Su Yan wants to know more about her every time he sees her, and he also wants to see her smile and smile at her.
She asked timidly: "I just arrived, and I only learned yesterday that you are the pearl of Prince Zheng's palm." ”
Buddha's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he returned to normal, "Are you very concerned about the affairs of the singer?" ”
Su Yan hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that I care, haha!" ”
Su Yan brought another plate of sesame cakes, and then stared at her face with his cheeks.
She always felt that the Buddha had been abused, and she was so thin that she was almost unadult-looking, although it has been said in ancient times, women can marry a good family if they are thin, but she can't agree, she has always felt that if a woman is slightly plump, it will be more sultry than thin like a white bone essence! So she always eats a lot, and her figure naturally can't lose anywhere, but she has never been able to knock down a few beautiful men, and she has been sad a few times for this.
The moon was hanging high, the stars were twinkling in the night, the thin clouds and the slow speed were drifting, it seemed to be a poetic scene, but Su Yan was disappointed by this beautiful night. She wrapped the quilt in the bed, moved a bamboo couch, covered it with a thick layer of plush blankets, and then knelt on the bamboo couch, she put her head half-exposed out of the window, her hands supported her chin, and she was alone under the moon in a daze.
Her mind wandered with the clouds in the sky to a long time ago, that short and blissful past... They held hands, and in the light rain of the night, they ran home from the edge of the field with umbrellas in their hands.
Thinking about it, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, but he grabbed it empty. She woke up from her memories, tears streaming down her face.
Wiping away her tears, she looked at the other side, the lights had gone out at some point, she gently closed the window, pulled the quilt and clothes and fell asleep.
The soft light sprinkled on the floor of the Shuyou Hall, and the light spots dotted the ground, but the atmosphere of the school was very tense.
An elder sat down at the podium, the eight students in the hall were sitting upright, Su Yan stood straight beside the elder, the sun shone on her side face, her cheeks were warm, mixed with the elder's chatter, and she suddenly fell asleep. And this scene fell in the eyes of some male students, and it was very intoxicating! They stared at her with a nymphomaniac mentality, and they were grateful for the good eyes of the adults in charge, so that they could be regarded as full of eyes!
The elder looked at these out-of-body students, and he was so angry that he snorted from his throat. Su Yan was excited, and he was completely awake in an instant. I only heard the elder cough a few times, and the vicissitudes of life came out of his throat: "All the students are from famous families, and now they have been enrolled in school for many days, and they have not been preached by Mr. Saying that, he sighed, and said, "This Mr. Su Yansu is from a famous family in the Chu State, knows Jinglun, and is familiar with the art of war..."
Su Yan coughed dryly: "That... Elder, I don't teach this! ”
The elder was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Oh! That, the old man is confused, he is familiar with the ancient books of the tea ceremony, proficient in tea art, and even better at tasting, and it is most appropriate for her to serve as Mr. Shu Youtang. ”
This was introduced without notifying Su Yan in advance, which really surprised her so much that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
She looked at the elder's wrinkled face with a knife hidden in his smile, and then looked at the disdainful students in the hall, it seems that this lie, if she doesn't continue to circle, I'm afraid she won't be able to pass this level today!
squeezed for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: "In the future, as a teacher, I will definitely know everything and say everything, hehe..."
The whole hall was talking about this new gentleman, and there was a hint of ridicule in the words. The elder didn't seem to see this picture, and nodded with great satisfaction: "In this way, the old man is also relieved." ”
I could only laugh a few times, and I agreed.
Later, I learned that this elder's name is Zeyuan, he joined the army when he was young, went to the battlefield, and made military achievements in the first battle of Ruoshui more than 40 years ago, and then somehow, he has been living in the academy. Decades have passed, and almost all the people in that battle died, and the rest became the founding heroes, all living in the summer resort between the academy and the back mountain. In addition to Ze Yuan, there are only two people who are still alive at the moment, they rarely appear, and only Ze Yuan will often go out of the mountain to preside over a ceremony and stay for a class.
After the students introduced themselves one by one, the elders taught on their behalf, and only gave Su Yan three days to memorize those half-understood tea arts.
When the day was already a child, the eldest grandson Yue and Yansheng leaned sleepily in front of the bookcase in the Lonely Luan Pavilion, and finally couldn't support it and fell asleep, and it was another day and a night.
The eldest grandson yawned, helplessly glanced at Su Yan, who was tinkering in front of the case, and couldn't help but ask Yansheng: "Mr. Su is in office and doesn't teach students, what's the use of copying this all day?" ”
Yansheng waved his hand, signaling her to be quiet.
A few days ago, Yansheng suddenly came over, and said bitterly that it was the master in charge who ordered him to run errands in Shuyoutang for a few days.
Su Yantuo pondered: Zuo Qing was very surprised and grateful for the position of Mr. Shu Youtang for himself, and now he has sent his entourage over, which is also doing his best! But now is the time to employ people, so naturally there is no need to be polite. He sent him to Wan Chaofang to borrow a bunch of ancient books about tea, and then went to the tea room to bring all kinds of tea, and finally thought that the eldest grandson Yue had played tricks on himself, and even she was counted.
The eldest grandson said pitifully that he still had to go to class, Su Yan stretched his sleeves and said domineeringly: "Then come at night!" "Leave no stone unturned.
After instructing the two of them, they were satisfied with their hard work.
In the past, Su Yan would not have read more books, but now that he is a gentleman, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only continue to be a man!
It's just that the interlacing is like a mountain, for the tea art, she has also read a book, and the tea ceremony that comes with her mouth will be a few sentences, although she will pick tea, make tea, and make tea, but if she wants to move to the school to talk about it, she really doesn't know where to start, the knowledge in those books, how does she preach? I couldn't convince these students at all. It seems that Zuo Qing can't recruit anyone, and he broke the jar and broke it, so he appointed himself.
It seems that Seven Senses Academy recruits talents very casually... Whatever!
But Master once said that a guy who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good gentleman! Therefore, when Su Yan learned to collect medicine and heal wounds, he also learned martial arts and quarrels. In the past, I didn't understand the use of these two kinds of knowledge at all, first, the master's life was harder than a stone, and he didn't need to fly the eaves and walk the wall to rescue him, and secondly, after a fight, the people in the town were afraid of themselves, and this mouthful of kung fu was about to degenerate. But now, it seems that the knowledge of this quarrel has come in handy. Master once warned himself that if you scold the invincible opponents all over the world, your verbal skills will be perfect, don't talk about those mother-in-law and old men in the future, even if you go to the criminal department, you can say that the dead are alive.
Su Yan wondered what kind of world those students who had not dried up could see? As long as you read a few more books by yourself, fill your stomach with theories, and add these three inches of incorruptible tongue, Shu Youtang is not managed by himself!
Thinking of this, I immediately increased my confidence, changed my previous loose personality, worked hard, hung the beams and thorns, and longed to grow four eyes to read all the books.
Eldest Sun Yue couldn't help but be curious, came to Yansheng's side, lowered his voice and asked him, "Isn't she Jinglun in her belly and proficient in tea ceremony?" Why do you need to watch this? I memorized this book last year! ”
Yansheng said to her: "This is the person in charge of the matter, don't talk too much, just wait!" ”
The eldest grandson pouted, "I'm not a maid, and you are the one who wants to serve, but you are an errand sent by the master in charge!" ”
"Hmph, I'm running errands, but you weren't called to set Mr. Su yet."
The eldest grandson glared at him: "Don't mention this to me, it will be a fire if you mention it, if not..."
Just as he was talking about the key, Su Yan slapped the book case violently and said angrily: "Have you said enough? When I'm deaf! ”
The eldest grandson said cowardly: "I, we didn't say anything. ”
Su Yan found that Yansheng was laughing on the side, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, and changed his tone: "If you have anything to say, I don't eat people, if it weren't for you that day, I would still be trapped on that lake!" ”
The eldest grandson Yue Han smiled and said: "This is my credit, I was going to tease you that day, they..."
"They? Who are they referring to? ”
Yan Sheng sighed: "The children of rich families, powerful and powerful, have been used to being high since childhood, for them, it is normal to summon people, and even force others to be scapegoats. ”
The eldest grandson lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Su Yan still wanted to ask the truth, Yan Sheng said: "Why should Mr. ask, listen to a small persuasion, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't care about what you shouldn't care, in this unfathomable academy, it is the best survival rule for each family to sweep the snow in front of the door." ”
The eldest grandson seemed to be stimulated to the point of sadness, and kept wiping away tears.
It was the first time that Su Yan had heard that there were such arrogant people in the world, and they all said that there were many talented young men in the scholarly family, but I didn't expect to hear it today, it was an eye-opener! These young people who have not yet reached the crown can actually do such a thing that violates human morality! The more angry I became, the more I sympathized with Changsun Yue, and the previous dissatisfaction with her disappeared.
She secretly decided in her heart that she must correct this school with an extremely distorted atmosphere!
After a few more days, Su Yan still didn't go to class, and appointed the eldest grandson Yue to send the students to recite the Book of Poetry, thinking that a thick book of Book of Poetry was enough for them to memorize for ten days and half a month, so that he would have time to make up for it. And Yansheng has been by Su Yan's side, and the eldest grandson Yue has to go to the Guluan Pavilion every night with the stars and the moon to copy the knowledge taught by Shu Youtang last year. Over the past few days, the relationship between the three people has increased day by day, but Su Yan's belly Chinese ink is difficult to grow as rapidly as their feelings.
The knowledge has not improved much, but it has left the sequelae, as soon as I see the book of tea ceremony, my brain will ache faintly, and I am so anxious that the eldest grandson does not know what to do.
And there is bad news from Shuyoutang, the students have been able to recite the poetry scriptures, and a few of them can actually write them in reverse. Don't look at these students in the mouth of Changsun Yue who are so unlearned, I didn't expect that the endorsement at the critical moment was quite powerful! When I thought that I hadn't memorized the tea ceremony until now, I couldn't help but eat and couldn't sleep.
