Mr. Wu smiled: "No one can guess what my father thinks. ”

Ge Fuzi said: "The old man sent the eldest son of Wu to the temple, and the second son of Wu stayed by his side, and pushed the elder brother Xuansheng to the academy. Before the first two rejections of the academy's invitation, the court also had three invitations to be a minister, and when you came to the academy, this was a slap in the face of some people in the court. That's why there is this play. Aren't the old man and you worried that someone will put on small shoes for Brother Diansheng, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

Mr. replied: "Xuan Sheng is not talented, he is determined to write, he can't be a prince of the Yellow Gate, and he can't enter the official career." As for my eldest brother, if he doesn't have any skills, he can't be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so don't worry. It's just that Qinglu Academy's visit this time is indeed a bit tricky, and I have heard of the names of these four junior characters like thunder, and I have heard of it for a long time. Liu Chengfeng is known as a national player in the tenth section and has unparalleled chess strength; Zhao Dongming has become a poem in seven steps and his articles are romantic; Zhu Wenling is good at painting the ladies of the country and has reached the peak; and what is even more terrifying is the last ......"

Ge Fuzi said: "This girl kendo master, she can really cut people when she starts a temper......"

The two looked at each other and laughed, but were silent. It is not that there are no good seedlings among the students of the Spring and Autumn Academy in recent years, but compared with the four proud sons of Qinglu Academy, their reputation is not obvious. The Spring and Autumn Academy is known as a family of sons for a hundred generations, and a family of Spring and Autumn Romance. Qinglu Academy wants to tell the world this time, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, moral scriptures and righteous articles, Qinglu Academy wants to suppress the Spring and Autumn Academy. At the same time, stepping on the point of Wu Xuansheng Academy, why doesn't it mean to knock?

The exchange meeting between the two houses is scheduled to take place after 20 decades. The content of the exchange is nothing more than etiquette, mathematics, books, music, archery, and the six arts of royalty.

Compared with the situation of the mountain rain in the academy and the wind full of buildings, this small courtyard in the Hidden Garden is relatively quiet.

Jian Shuzhi would fill the water tank with water every morning, and then, boil a little rice porridge, make some dipping sauce, and wait for Mr. Wu to go to the school after breakfast, clean up the dishes and chopsticks and stove, and then start to tidy up Mr. Wang's room and study, even if the room is clean and tidy, it will be wiped again. Otherwise, he will not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.

After doing all this rough work, he would pick up stones on the yard and learn to write some vulgar words, and he always felt that it was always good to know more words, even if he couldn't write moral essays. I will also take advantage of Mr. Wu's free time to ask for advice on how to write one or two words, and Mr. will patiently explain and explain its meaning. Then he will ask him if he understands, but fortunately he has a good memory, so he will write it down first, and as for whether he understands or not, he believes that he will understand one day.

After reviewing the words that he had memorized before writing, when Jian Shuzhi got up, he saw the girl in the yellow shirt yesterday again, she was still sitting on the wall, "Is this practicing writing?"

Jian Shuzhi looked at the crooked words crawling on the ground, nodded embarrassedly, and then wiped these marks with his feet. The girl did not have a sarcastic tone, but such scenes were not common for her.

She should have received a good education since she was a child, unlike Jian Shuzhi's background, she didn't even have extra money to buy a tong tube, so she could only use heaven and earth as a scroll and scribble and wipe it on it.

Jian Shuzhi saw her doubts, "I'm not a student of the academy. At the beginning of the war in Western Xinjiang last year, I was rescued by Mr. Wu, and then served as a scholar. When he was young, his family was poor and never entered the school. I envy you readers. ”

The girl fell into deep thought, "Xijiang. That's a long way away!"

Jian Shuzhi didn't know if she was referring to the war being far away or pointing the way, for the academy far away from the market court, it was indeed very far.

The little girl sat on the wall and patted the dirt on her hands, and a small white snake slipped out of her sleeve and roamed over the wall, spitting letters in its mouth. She saw Jian Shuzhi's surprised expression, and comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I raised Xiaobai." ”

Jian Shuzhi was indeed a little afraid of this kind of insect, after all, it was not common in Western Xinjiang, so much so that he forgot to warn and remind others to be careful, which showed his nervousness and surprise.

The little girl made a gesture, and the little white snake slipped into her sleeve. She turned over and got off the wall and came to Jian Shuzhi's side, she told Jian Shuzhi that she was chasing it here yesterday. The little girl looked around the garden again with her eyes, and it was nothing unusual, an ordinary garden. A few into the small courtyard, a pond, a few bushes of banana bamboo forest, a few pavilions and corridors, the scenery is sparse and dense, but also pleasant.

The little girl was still childlike, jumped on the pond pavilion, ran around the beam and pillar twice, then sat on the railing and looked at the water, woke up the little white snake from her sleeve, and then, pointing to the water, the little white snake slipped into the pool.

Jian Shuzhi was several steps away, watching the little girl's movements. The little girl beckoned him to come closer, saying that she wanted to be a master and that she wanted to teach him how to read.

Jian Shuzhi rubbed his head and thought about it carefully, there were indeed a few words he wanted to learn how to write. Regarding his name, Mr. Wu has already taught him and knows the strokes of writing. But there are two words far away from him, and he has never been able to consult Mr. Wu, and he always feels that he will not touch them in his lifetime, those two words are "rivers and lakes".

The little girl taught to write strokes very seriously, using tree branches as pens and water as ink, and wrote a big river and lake on the ground of the water pavilion.

As for why Jian Shuzhi wanted to write the word "rivers and lakes", because they met in the rivers and lakes and forgot each other in the rivers and lakes.

During the period before the exchange meeting between the two hospitals, the girl in the yellow shirt would jump over the wall and run to the small courtyard every day, and Jian Shuzhi and the little girl gradually became familiar with each other. The little girl told him a lot of things outside the academy, including temples, frontiers, markets, rivers and lakes, strange people, ghosts, and strange things...... From Xijiang to Yuzhou, from Yuzhou to the academy, Jian Shuzhi knew that the world was big, far larger than this courtyard, but the big in his eyes was still too small and too small, and the small in his eyes was still too big and too big.

The girl's surname is Wen, and her single name is Wan. The gentle girl's personality is not gentle, but a little jumpy. In addition to chatting, Miss Wen will also teach Jian Shuzhi to recognize some words every day. As for why the gentle girl came to the courtyard every day, he would not think that he was handsome and attracted her. Jian Shuzhi didn't ask the reason, who hasn't had a secret?

The "small" in Jian Shuzhi's eyes is: it would be nice if he could learn literacy with Miss Wen every day. However, this "little" will be very big, because Miss Wen will leave this small courtyard one day and never come back......

Mr. Wu has the habit of reading at night, and Jian Shuzhi brewed a pot of coarse tea brought from Yuzhou in addition to finishing chores, and then stood aside and waited for instructions. In the interval between thinking about the pen, the gentleman would ask him what he had gained today, and he recognized a few more words. He will answer the gentleman's questions seriously.

At the same time as agreeing, Mr. Wu handed a copy of "Qianjiawen", saying that it was a book of enlightenment for him to study. Because Jian Shuzhi has a good memory, under the influence of Mr. Wen for nearly half a year and the advice he asked Miss Wen for a while, after reading this "Thousand Family Texts", he can recognize all the words, and he is no longer illiterate. As for the truth and meaning of the book, we still need to think about it carefully.

Mr. Wu was surprised to see that Jian Shuzhi was not jerky when he looked at "A Thousand Family Texts" and could read it. I asked him how he could read all the words on it, because there were many words in the book, and he had not taught them.

Jian Shuzhi talked to Mr. about what had happened these days.

After listening to the narration, Mr. Wu stroked his palms and smiled: "This girl shines in this exchange between the two academies, no matter her talent, her swordsmanship is first-class, she is a rare talent in the entire Dayan Empire, and one of the most dazzling teenagers in Qinglu Academy." I heard that there is a foreign body, which feeds on the essence of luck, and can recognize auspicious and eloquent people. I wonder if you've ever seen one?"

"What are you referring to as the little white snake named Xiaobai?"

Mr. Wu smiled and nodded, already knowing the answer and appreciating his sincerity. It's just that Jian Shuzhi didn't know that this little white snake had such abilities, and he didn't care about the essence, luck, and other ethereal things that Mr. said.

As if remembering something, Mr. Wu handed the "Jixian Lu" he had studied in his hand to Jian Shuzhi. Let Jian Shuzhi turn to the last chapter and read it to him.

The words contained in this "Jixian Lu" are difficult to understand, and Jian Shuzhi can only carve the words of the book in his mind from memory. Mr. Wu closed the book and asked Jian Shuzhi to recite it. Jian Shuzhi recounted the original text without knowing anything.

Mr. Wu was overjoyed, "I have never read and read the last few chapters of this book in front of you. I deliberately turned to the last chapter. I know you remember it well, but I never thought you would remember it. The gentleman clapped his hands and clapped his hands, as if he had made a decision, "Would you like to go to the academy?" Being a scholar by my side will only be a waste of your talent. In this exchange between the two academies, Qinglu Academy really forced the Spring and Autumn Academy, and the Spring and Autumn Academy lost unjustly. With your tenacity and understanding, with a little cultivation in the academy, you will achieve infinite things in the future. ”

Jian Shuzhi was very envious of the scholar in his heart, but he also promised others to break into the rivers and lakes once, so he didn't want to be a treacherous person, so he asked Mr.: "Can I break into the rivers and lakes once while studying the scriptures and writing articles? Can I see Mr. again in the future?"

Mr. Wu really didn't expect Jian Shuzhi to bring up this question, and laughed: "Good." The rivers and lakes are far away, you have to wait until you have extraordinary skills, and then it's not too late to go. When you enter the academy, you have to move from the Hidden Garden to the school, and as for whether you can see me, it depends on whether you want to see me, whether you want to see me. ”

Jian Shuzhi hurriedly thanked Mr. Wu for his life-saving and kindness. But when he thought of the past from the Western Xinjiang to the academy, he couldn't get up.

The rivers and lakes are far away and very close. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes are big, and they will be small. The rivers and lakes are very big, the south and the north of the world, the rivers and lakes are very small, you, me and him.
