On the official road not far from Yuanning, a carriage walked slowly.

There were three people sitting in the car, all dressed as Confucian scholars, with different bearings.

The person in the middle has flat shoulders, holding a book and reading silently, giving people a sense of rigor, it is Zhen Zhizuo.

On either side of Zhen Zhizuo, sat two slightly younger men.

The man on the left-hand side is dressed casually, his body is shaking with the bumps of the car, and the man on the right-hand side, dressed a little loosely, has a feeling of the afterglow of the front dynasty, with his eyes closed, a pensive look, as if he is thinking about a problem, and forgetting about things and me.

The atmosphere of the whole carriage was slightly dull.

Suddenly, the man who shook gently seemed to be unable to bear it, and said loudly: "Senior brother, is Qiu Sheng really that good?

As soon as these words came out, before Zhen Zhizuo could answer, the man with his eyes closed said slowly: "Chen Jing, when will you be able to settle down? ”

That Chen Jing frowned and laughed: "Lin Jue, the words are not right, the sage said that there are three precepts, the young man's blood is undecided, the precept is in color, the blood and qi in the prime of life are strong, the precept is fighting, the old man's blood is decaying, the precept is in the gain, but he has never said that he wants to abstain from thoughts and intentions, if he has no temperament and no thoughts, what kind of knowledge do he have? Haven't they all become old antiques? What is the difference with stones?"

Lin Jue opened his eyes, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes, as if he did not have the slightest human desire, he glanced at Chen Jing and shook his head: "Uncertain and uneasy, how can you worry, and how can you gain?"

Chen Jing suddenly became interested and wanted to stand up, but when he saw the roof of the car, he stopped moving, and then said: "This is your understanding, not the sage's statement, the sage means that there is something to learn, zuihou can get rid of impetuousness and understand the true meaning of life, not let people forcibly extinguish impetuousness." This is putting the cart before the horse, you, you, have always been like this, distorting the meaning of the scriptures, if you get the inheritance, you must not distort the world!"

"Chen Jing, don't say superfluous words. ”

At this time, Zhen Zhizuo suddenly interjected, glanced at Lin Jue, and said lightly: "Senior brother." Don't fall for Chen Jing's plan, he can't make up his mind, and he is bored, so he provokes you to discuss with him. ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart. Lin Jue listened and closed his eyes again.

"It's boring, it's boring, why should my brother say it, alas. Chen Jing saw this. He sighed, showed a look of regret, and then pretended not to care, and asked, "That's right." I haven't said how Qiu Yan got into your eyes. ”

Zhen Zhizuo glanced at him and said, "When you get to the place, you can talk to him and you will know." If you can't bear the journey, you might as well read a book, you are so active. No matter how smart he is, he will inevitably be criticized. ”

Chen Jing said with a smile: "Even the teacher said, 'movement and stillness are unprovoked, yin and yang have no beginning', the sun and moon run, the cold and heat come and go, and the rigidity and softness change, this is all movement and stillness, this is the principle of heaven, and there is a reason in human desires, why force it?"

Zhen Zhizuo shook his head, ignored Chen Jing anymore, and lowered his head to read.

Although there is a small word in the small ceremony, it is not that it is impossible to take it, but it is also a big battle, but it will be held in the academy, and the matter of welcoming the door is still to be handed over to the protégé of the academy, and the disciples of Mr. Chen should greet him in person.

It's just that because of Scholar He, several students who stayed in the academy were recruited out, and after some selection, Zhen Zhizuo found the two people around him.

That Lin Jue is a disciple of Mr. Da Chen, but he is too old-fashioned and unsmiling, so people don't like it, and of course it is not his turn to greet He Shuchang, Zuihou was arrested by Zhen Zhizuo.

As for Chen Jing, like Zhen Zhizuo, he is a disciple of Xiao Chen Xiaosheng, but he acts out of the box, has no character, is not liked by Mr., and is faintly isolated by others, so he can be pulled by Zhen Zhizuo.

Picking these two people, Zhen Zhizuo also has some considerations, welcoming new students is not just a ceremony, but also a conversation on the way, at this time, it is necessary for some astute people and knowledgeable disciples to come forward to show the advantages of the academy.

Although Lin Jue is old-fashioned, he is knowledgeable, and although Chen Jing is out of the box, he is active and intelligent, and he can be regarded as a master.

On the subsequent road, Chen Jing had a hard time settling down and made movements from time to time, but the other two didn't seem to see or feel it.

About half an hour later, the car suddenly trembled, then stopped, and then heard the coachman's voice coming in through the board: "Three sons, something has happened in front of you, and it may be too late to pass." ”

"What's going on?" Chen Jing immediately jumped up, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he ran out, entering a city wall, with several carriages parked in front of the city gate, surrounded by many people, and in the most central place, there was a man with official authority talking to an old man.

The crowd scattered on the road in front of the door, blocking the road, of course, it was not easy to move forward.

Chen Jing looked up, his eyes fell on the city gate, and he saw the word "Yuanning".

"Isn't it here? Why are there so many people in front of the city gate all of a sudden? He complained slightly, but Chen Jing's face was not dissatisfied, but showed excitement.

At this moment, a voice came from the carriage behind him-

"Hmm, that old man is Zhao Chengcheng of Quanyou Academy!" There was a hint of surprise and urgency in these words.

"I didn't expect Shu Xue to be so attentive, it was Zhao Cheng who personally went out. With that, Zhen Zhizuo got out of the car.

"That person is Shu Xue Zhao Cheng?" Chen Jing looked at the old man in the crowd with a curious expression, and noticed a sense of literary thought from a distance, and his heart was a little calm, and then he thought of something, "Could this person be here to invite Qiu Yan to enter Quanyou Academy?"

After saying this, he smiled: "Wonderful, that Zhang Huazhang didn't take it to heart because Qiu Yan was a scholar from a poor family, pushed three blocks and four, and didn't send people, and even the old Confucian in the door of Quanyou Academy personally went out to greet him, and made a judgment, this Qiu Yan can attract Zhao Lao, it is estimated that he is really talented and learned, but his reputation is not as good as that of Nahe Shuchang." ”

Suddenly, another voice came from the car.

"That Zhao Cheng hasn't been able to get his wish yet. ”

"How can you see it?" Chen Jing turned his head to look back, frowning, so Lin Jue didn't get out of the carriage, how did he make a judgment?

But Lin Jue didn't answer.

Zhen Zhizuo didn't ask much, but said: "No matter what, I still have to go into the city to have a look, in addition, although Zhao Chengcheng is different from our inheritance, there are disputes between schools, but the one who reaches the first place should go over to see the ceremony." After the words fell, he led Chen Jing and Lin Jue over.

When Zhao Chengcheng saw the three of them, his face changed, and after saying a few words to each other, he said goodbye to each other.

"Sure enough, Zhao Chengcheng's face changed just now, and he frowned, he really didn't get his wish......" Chen Jing said, and glanced at Lin Jue with a slightly strange look.

Then, he shook his head and guessed: "I understand, Qiu Yan has already received the door post from Li Zong, of course he will not go to the declining Quanyou Academy again, so although Zhao Cheng personally came to the door, he still did not agree, after all, my Li Zong is now famous all over the world, and he is a Confucian bull ear ......."

Chen Jing said confidently, but this confidence disappeared after arriving at Liu's house and seeing the letter handed over by Liu Yue.

"Traveling to study?"

Zhen Zhizuo looked at the letter in his hand in amazement and frowned.

Hearing this, Lin Jue, who was following behind without saying a word, moved in his eyes, and a little light flashed, but he disappeared immediately, and it didn't take long for Zhang Yu and Liu Frame to get the news and hurriedly ran over.

As soon as the two arrived, they first praised Li Zong, saying that they had studied Mr. Chen's works for a few days, and they had gained a little, until Zhen Zhizuo stopped them, and then he said with a little anxiety: "Zhen Gongzi, we are not to blame for this, these days, both of us have been with Qiu Yan, but he went home to sweep the tomb, and it was inconvenient to follow, who would have thought that this time he would come back, and a person from Xingtanmen jumped out and warned the two of me, it was even more ......."

Zhen Zhizuo suddenly interrupted the two, and his face showed surprise: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

Not only did he look surprised, but even Chen Jing and Lin Jue also showed different colors.

"Yes, there is a person named Ji Zheng who came to Xingtanmen, saying that he wanted to invite Qiu Yan to participate in the Xingtan Seminar, and also warned us and persuaded us to go back to study......"

They still couldn't finish their words, and this time it was Chen Jing who interrupted, so I heard him exclaim in a low voice: "Xingtan on the Tao? Good guy, who is this Qiu Yan? What is his background? Someone actually invited him to talk about the Tao in Xingtan? If this is the time to discuss the Tao, if he can travel to Shilin, there is really no need to join our Li Zong." ”

"Did you hear it wrong?" Zhen Zhizuo frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yu and Liu Huan's faces changed drastically, they waved their hands again and again, and said like a cannon in their mouths: "No, no, I will wait for confirmation and report to you, so I will make a special note of it." ”

"Is it true?" Zhen Zhizuo's brows became tighter and tighter, "Xingtan said, there is no Sage Hall, there is no Sage Paper, how can I talk about it? In the end, I want to enter a academy, but I don't know where Qiu Yan went, could it be that he went all the way to the east and went directly to Qilu? No way, he will have to try ...... next year."

Zhang Yu took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't know which academy Qiu Yan is going to, but where he is going, but he probably knows that in order to help my son, I specially bought a steward of Zhang's mansion and learned that Qiu Yan was going to the Eastern Capital." ”

"Dongdu?" Zhen Zhizuo was stunned when he heard this.

At this time, Lin Jue suddenly spoke: "If you want to recruit Qiu Yan, you might as well let these two go to Zhangfu to inquire again, however, Xingtan's argument is not trivial, Qiu Yan has talent to learn, if there is no corresponding article, it will be more laughing." I have read his articles and life, but my literary heart is not obvious, my experience is not abundant, and I don't seem to know much about folk affairs, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to move the sages. ”

"Okay, let's go and find out. Zhen Zhizuo nodded.

Chen Jing laughed: "This Qiu Yan is really unprovoked, which made Quanyou Academy and us all pounce, and I don't know what reason is hidden in his actions." ”

………………

At the same time, Qiu Yan, who was going north, arrived in a small town, and there was a turmoil in the town, and there were many people around the entrance of the town, among which there was an old woman, who was sitting on the ground and crying bitterly.

"Childe, the town is not quiet, so let's take a detour. Hu Qi and Dai Guo have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and when they saw this, they persuaded them, but they didn't expect Qiu Yan to shake his head and get off the horse.

"This trip is to increase knowledge, how can we take a detour?"

Qiu Yan said in his mouth, but he was thinking about something else-

"In this town, there is such a vigorous power of fire!" (to be continued......)
