Chapter Twenty-Six: Receiving Disciples
After chatting a few innocuous words along the way, Xia Jingyun suddenly asked softly: "My lord, the grass people have something to inquire about." ”
Feng Xiuyun stopped in surprise, and a trace of doubt flashed on her beautiful and arrogant face, "What's the matter?" ”
"Do you know that Zheng Gongzi?"
After speaking, he stared at Feng Xiuyun's face tightly, Feng Xiuyun looked puzzled, and immediately seemed to think of something, and shook his head regretfully, "I really don't know, expect me to help you intercede, I'm afraid it's no fun." ”
She immediately laughed at herself, "You just saw that my identity as a female official in the palace is of no use to those scholars." ”
Not her? Xia Jingyun was surprised.
Feng Xiuyun's expression didn't seem to be fake, so Zheng Tianyu didn't target him because he wanted to take Wen Kui?
Is this really just a coincidence?
That invincible Zheng Gongzi is really just so unlucky, he wants to pick someone to pretend to be forced, and then he picks his own iron plate?
Is it bad luck to open in reverse?
Xia Jingyun suppressed the few doubts left in his heart and smiled, "Well, I'm just asking, I want to come to that Zheng Gongzi magnanimity, not to see me and other little people." ”
Feng Xiuyun glanced at him, "No matter how magnanimous a big man is, it is difficult to refuse to trample a bug with a clumsy foot." ”
Xia Jingyun inexplicably remembered a guy who became a Heavenly Dao in a year, and couldn't help but smile.
But she didn't expect such a smile to fall in Feng Xiuyun's eyes, which made her secretly surprised, she could still laugh, the young man in front of her was really getting more and more incomprehensible to her.
Thinking about the silver ticket in her chest, she still took the initiative to remind: "Don't be careless, that kind of person usually cares more about face, today's out, it's hard to act as if nothing happened." ”
"Thank you, sir." Xia Jingyun smiled, "What do you think, what do you think Old Lady Yun and Su Daru told me to go over?" ”
Feng Xiuyun smiled slightly, and reacted, "This is also true, if you can ask for protection in front of the old lady, don't mention that Zheng Tianyu, even his father Jianning is too guarded, and he doesn't dare to touch you in the slightest." ”
She turned her head to look at Xia Jingyun, and said meaningfully: "The old lady loves calligraphy very much, if you have the ability in this area, you must catch it." ”
She recalled the scene of that day, and it was obvious that the old lady was a little interested in Xia Jingyun's words, otherwise she would not have taken it unexpectedly.
But how big this interest is, is something she can't guess.
Just like today's Wenhui, in the end, the old lady came forward, and outsiders would think that it was to stand up for Xia Jingyun, but in fact, in her eyes, it was nothing more than the relationship between Su Daru and the other party's misdeeds under the banner of Concubine De to make the old lady unhappy, and it had nothing to do with Xia Jingyun himself.
So, after meeting for a while, it's really hard to say why she is.
I guess it's just to meet and get married.
But no matter what, for her, this is another opportunity to build a good relationship with the old lady.
Thinking so, the two came to Yunfu.
Looking at the plaque on the lintel and the guards standing with knives, Xia Jingyun finally had the most intuitive feeling of the old man's power.
Under the leadership of the butler, the two came to the main hall.
In the main hall, Old Man Yun and Su Shidao were seated separately, and when they saw Xia Jingyun appear, they stood up with a smile.
Xia Jingyun, who was no stranger to ushering in and sending him off, stepped forward a few times and saluted respectfully, without the slightest arrogance that a person who had just won Wenkui should have.
"Xia Jingyun, a junior, has seen Old Lady Yun and Su Daru. Thank you to the two seniors for speaking up for the younger generations, and the juniors are grateful! ”
Old Man Yun stretched out his hand to help him up, and his smile was unexpectedly cordial to Feng Xiuyun, "Some small things, no need to be polite." ”
Su Shidao also smiled, "Speaking of which, the old man is also a professor of state studies, and he should apologize to you for the ugliness of today's state scholars." ”
Xia Jingyun was naturally busy refusing to excuse himself, saying that he didn't dare.
Feng Xiuyun: (⊙?⊙)
"Okay, okay, don't be polite." Old Man Yun pulled the topic back with a smile, "Xia Gaoyang, the old man has a request. ”
"Please show the old lady."
"Today's poem, the old man loves it, and the old man has always loved calligraphy, would you like to write it for the old man as a collection?"
Xia Jingyun did not hesitate, nodded and agreed, "It's an honor for the juniors!" ”
Old Man Yun gave an order, and immediately a servant in the palace came over with a table of cases, and put on an elegant and expensive pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Su Shidao stood aside, a little worried about Xia Jingyun in his heart.
It's one thing for many people to write by themselves, and it's another thing to write in front of people, especially in front of a big person like Old Man Yun, if the mood is a little unstable, I'm afraid the effect of writing will be much worse
Xia Jingyun stood still in front of the table, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the momentum of the whole person quietly changed.
is no longer a handsome and thin teenager, but a grandmaster who has experienced decades of ups and downs, and he has a calm bearing of Yuan Yue Zhi when he mentions his pen.
The pen walks the dragon and snake, and the four lines of ink characters appear on the snow-like paper.
It seems that he has returned to more than half an hour ago, and he is chanting with his hands in his hands, and the picture of pride is amazing.
[Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring.
As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky. 】
Old Lady Yun looked intently at the words on the paper, and also looked at Xia Jingyun's skillful technique of putting down the pen, and couldn't help but be stupid.
Xia Jingyun slowly put down the pen, "The ability is limited, the technique is crude, and the two seniors laughed." ”
"You kid, everything is good, but this temperament is not good! is young, how can he not slip in autumn, and he does not have the vigor of young people! ”
Old Man Yun glared and said angrily.
Feng Xiuyun stood aside, her tall figure lined her long skirt with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and her low eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and her heart had already set off a storm.
In this tone, I really don't treat Xia Jingyun as an outsider!
It seems that this Xia Jingyun is really a blessing, can he be a calligrapher with the old lady?
Old Man Yun looked at this painting with satisfaction, and thus confirmed to his face that Xia Jingyun's true level was indeed a high level in its own right.
His eyes fell on Xia Jingyun's delicate and handsome face, "A few days ago, I was very surprised by your painting [I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together], so I looked for someone to check your situation." Would you mind? ”
Xia Jingyun's heart moved, several speculations welled up in his heart, and he smiled, "The old lady is polite, if it were me, I'm afraid I would have found out more." ”
"That's good." Old Man Yun bowed his head and said: "Everyone knows that the old man loves words very much in his life. Seeing your words, it is already quite attained, if you carve more, you may not be able to become a generation of masters. ”
In the smiling gaze of his friend, Old Man Yun tried his best to control his shame and blush, and said slowly: "The old man wants to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?" ”
Xia Jingyun was stunned in place for an instant.
Of all the speculations on the way, the most unlikely one has come true!
Feng Xiuyun couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately covered her mouth, her face shocked.
The old lady's apprentice?
Heaven and earth are the princes, rounding off, isn't that the younger brother of Concubine De?
A few days ago, the labor coolies are now about to climb to the sky?
Seeing that Xia Jingyun was actually stunned, she mustered up the courage to cough lightly.
Xia Jingyun also came back to his senses instantly, and instead of immediately kneeling down and shouting excitedly as Feng Xiuyun expected, he pretended to scratch his head simply, and said carefully: "Will the bundle be very expensive?" ”
Old Man Yun and Su Shidao were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
Su Shidao couldn't help but tease: "How much can you give?" Do you think the father of the first-class princess in front of you will care about your little money? ”
Xia Jingyun smiled embarrassedly, and Old Man Yun also smiled and said: "The old man accepts apprentices, he values your talent, as long as your family background is innocent and your character is passable, as for the side, there is nothing worthy of my taboo." ”
Xia Jingyun immediately pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, bowed his head and bowed, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”
In fact, it was the old man Yun who took advantage of himself who was overjoyed, and reached out to pick him up with a smile, "From this moment on, you and I will be masters and apprentices." Brother Zicheng, Director Feng, you are witnesses, haha! ”
Feng Xiuyun's heart was surging, with such a relationship, she was finally stable when she returned to the palace at her mother's place.
But then looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a strong envy in his heart, what is this, this is the real flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix.
The emotion in her heart was still strong, and Su Shidao's words made her more and more mixed feelings.
I saw this famous Confucian in Surabaya Prefecture stepping forward with a smile and looking at Xia Jingyun, "Brother Kang Le accepted you as an apprentice and passed on your calligraphy, you are willing to study scriptures with me." ”
Xia Jingyun glanced at Old Man Yun, and Old Man Yun laughed, "If you are willing, hurry up and apprentice, otherwise some people may be so angry that they will stop paying attention to me." ”
Of course, Xia Jingyun's cheekiness will not let go of such an opportunity, and he will bow down again.
Su Shidao smiled and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Gentleman Peiyu, this jade is my gift to you, and you can also hold it to come to Surabaya Prefecture City to find me at any time in the future." The imperial examination is the right way, your talent, ordinary people are difficult to reach, this is a matter, in the state school, you and I will continue the relationship between teachers and students. ”
Xia Jingyun didn't refuse, stretched out his hand to take it, and changed his words with interest, "Thank you, sir." ”
Old Man Yun was in a good mood, and said loudly: "Come on, set up a banquet!" ”
