A spring rain suddenly fell without warning. For three consecutive days, the moisture dispersed throughout Hengxiang. The waterways in the city swelled and rapid water flowed to the east. However, the prosperity of the commercial streets on both sides of the bank did not diminish at all.
With the establishment of the Study of the World, scholars from all over the world flocked to Hengxiang.
Successful and unsuccessful people, celebrities and idlers, all gathered in one city.
Dongping Academy is here, and is visited by students from all over the world, but the one who discusses it more must be the Lianfeng Academy, which attracts scholars from all over the world.
Dean Yang is slim and tall, with a straighter body than many young people. Since the beginning of the new year, he has been busy with "discussing the world and studying". As more and more people come to Hengxiang, Dean Yang can have some leisure time.
The "Department of the World Study" was originally scheduled for spring, but after several exchanges of letters with the girl, it was finally scheduled for March 15th.
There was still less than half a month before the "Death to Study", and fearing that the poor students who came from afar would have no food to eat or a bed to sleep on, Lianfeng Academy specially provided a house that had been built since the end of last winter to provide food and shelter.
He said that he also had the four treasures of the study as a gift, and he could also go to the academy to attend classes in his spare time.
This house is named Wenhe Building and is located at Shunyu Lake near Lianfeng Academy, on the other side of the morning market.
Wenhe Building is said to be funded by the major chambers of commerce in Hengxiang, of which Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qu from Ning'an Building together contributed 50%.
This building does not reject all comers. If you want to stay in Wenhe Building, you need to write an essay on the spot. The proposition of the essay is improvised by Dean Yang. If the essay can pass the test of Dean Yang, you can bring a wooden sign to check in.
Those recruiters sent secretly by various forces often set their sights on Wenhe Tower.
However, there are also some people who are not from poor backgrounds. They come to Dean Yang to take the test specifically to test their talents. After passing the test from Dean Yang, they only get wooden cards but do not move in.
Since February 10th, the whole Hengxiang has been prosperous.
As the number of literati increased, the number of calligraphy and painting shops on the streets also increased, and the teahouses became even more lively. There were more and more miscellaneous news from all over the world, and the people of Hengxiang felt that their eyes and ears were wide open.
All the scenery was taken up by Lianfeng Academy, and Dongping Academy, the first university in Daqian, was eclipsed for the first time.
A large number of aristocratic students in the school began to murmur and began to express their dissatisfaction in class. In the end, this dissatisfaction gradually evolved into provocations in the streets.
The authorities are fighting for their morale, while onlookers are watching the fun.
Some bystanders began to wonder why the proud and stubborn Dean Yang of Lianfeng Academy could not cause such a big disturbance.
In addition, Zhao Ning and Qu Xiling fully supported this matter, and soon someone thought of the girl who appeared in Hengxiang a few months ago.
Due to heavy rain, letters were delayed. The letter sent to Hengxiang was almost fifteen days ago.
A burst of spring thunder shook the sky and the earth, and the long street behind Dongping Academy was hit by heavy rain. In a short time, the white stone and square brick alleys newly built last year were flooded with water over three steps.
Guo Guan holds a pot of newly brewed Mingqian black tea next to him. The tea has a long and mellow aroma, with white smoke curling up slightly.
Outside the window was the second floor, with the rain beating on the eaves and the wind howling. After reading several letters in his hand, Guo looked up at the alleys and thousands of houses outside, feeling sad.
Every time he made a move, he felt that the opponent would follow what he wanted, but his opponent did not play according to common sense.
For example, a few months ago, it was clear that she was in Hengxiang, and he used to expose himself as bait, but she did not come to Dongping Academy to find him. Instead, she turned around and left calmly, acting as if she was not interested at all.
Are you really not interested?
Guo Guan didn't believe it.
There was a knock on the door from behind.
A few familiar knocks on the door made the boy behind Guo Guan immediately open the door.
An octogenarian white-haired woman walked in, her eyebrows slightly twisted.
Guo Guan stood up and respectfully shouted: "Madam."
Mrs. Chen's eyes fell on the letter paper on the desk, and she said calmly: "I heard that the letter has been delivered."
His voice is not as old as his appearance, but sounds about thirty or forty years old.
Guo looked at the book boy.
The book boy immediately picked up the letters on the table and handed them to Mrs. Chen.
After reading them one by one, Mrs. Chen sat down at the round table in the room and said calmly: "She really went to Mingtai County as promised."
"She insists on dealing with Li Qian, why?" Guo Guan was puzzled.
"The Xia family is just seeking revenge."
"But she is not from the Xia family, her surname is Qiao."
"Perhaps, we need to do a full show," Mrs. Chen handed the letter back to the book boy and watched the book boy return the letter to the desk. "That army may not be confirmed to be the Xia Family Army. Another way of saying it is that these troops are Tian Da Yao’s troops and horses.”
Guo Guan frowned: "The purpose of her acting is to make people think that she is the queen of Dingguo Palace?"
"This is how we can coerce public opinion and wave the flag with the prestige of the Dingguo Palace," Mrs. Chen stood up and walked to the window, looking at the heavy rain pouring across the city. "Otherwise, why would she do it? I can't think of any other reason. "
Guo Guan thought for a while and said: "Madam, in Xizhou, besides the Chongmen family, who else do we know?"
"This is not a matter that you and I should consider, it is my lord," Mrs. Chen said calmly, "I will report this matter and let my lord arrange it."
Guo Guan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I hope we can capture her as soon as possible."
As soon as the voice fell, another roaring spring thunder fell on the ground.
Mrs. Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the vast rain and fog rising between the sky and the earth.
Earlier, with His Highness Qianqiu, she deliberately concealed the fact that Ah Li and Qiao Xiyang looked exactly the same.
After he came out, he wrote to her out of compassion and asked her to never get close to Hengxiang.
Now, Mrs. Chen clearly realizes that those soft-hearted intentions mean nothing.
Over the years, the huge network of connections and connections mobilized by the old man from Liling has pressed them closer and closer, and has found dozens of their hiding places.
And Shen Xu, who they always thought was dead, was just faking his death. When they neglected to take precautions, Shen Xu secretly sabotaged their arrangements many times, which was really disgusting.
Except for Ah Li, they fought openly and secretly, and had hundreds of enemies.
Therefore, only half a year later, Mrs. Chen understood that this Ah Li would definitely not let them go, including her. Only the dead were the safest.
There was another knock on the door.
This time the knock on the door was very soft, but seemed a bit awkward.
After the little bookboy opened the door, there was a student standing outside.
The student came in and looked around, found Guo Guan, and immediately said: "See you again, sir. Hao Weifeng took Yao Zhen, Zhuo Changzong and others, pretending to be children from poor families from outside, and went to Lianfeng Academy to find Dean Yang and wanted to pass the essay. !”
"Let them be." Guo Guan didn't think this was a big deal.
"But, they said they were going to start a fight, and they couldn't stand Dean Yang's prestige-seeking behavior. If there really was a fight..."
"If they really cause trouble, they will be expelled from Dongping Academy," Guo Guan said calmly, "It is their fault, not Dongping Academy."
The student was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question.
