/p> Regarding the rudeness of those children, no one in the Sui Dynasty, from His Majesty the Emperor to the generals and ministers behind him, thought it was inappropriate. On the contrary, everyone smiled and found it quite interesting. This is evident from the prosperity of the writing style in the Sui Dynasty.
I saw a group of children who had come from afar, gathering together and whispering. The three small green bamboo book boxes were particularly eye-catching. There was a little girl in a red cotton-padded jacket who attracted the most attention. She looked very anxious. The smallest child
, I don’t know if I was unfamiliar with the place, and I was afraid of the battle arrayed by the Sui Emperor, so I started sobbing on the spot.
Not only did the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty show no signs of irritation, he actually turned his head and started chatting with the white-haired Minister of Rites.
In the end, the traveling students who had come all the way to the capital of the Sui Dynasty turned to look at the end of the street, reluctant to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not rush and was not in a hurry, it was not a problem to keep procrastinating like this. A great scholar, one of the three deputy masters of Xinshanya Academy and a famous figure in the literary world of the Sui Dynasty, had to apologize to His Majesty and walked out alone.
team, to remind those children who should enter the academy.
Fortunately, there were no twists and turns afterwards. Although the children did not know the court etiquette, they were more innocent and cute. The Confucian disciples bowed and saluted in a decent manner. This pleased Emperor Long Yan of the Sui Dynasty, and he personally rewarded each of the five children with a piece of cake.
After entering the academy with the "righteousness" jade pendant and a box of golden dragon ink ingots, except for the wall chart that had to pay homage to the most holy teacher, the rest of the red tape that should have taken a long time was simplified. This made Li Baoping feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
The three of them were relieved. As for Xie Xie and Yu Lu, they were relatively accustomed to it and did not feel any nervousness.
In the end, the deputy mountain master personally led them to their respective schools and explained the future teaching matters. The five people were divided into different school buildings. Since the academy occupies a large area, apart from the rows of buildings built against the mountain,
In addition, in fact, the entire Donghua Mountain was assigned to Shanya Academy by the Sui Dynasty, so many school buildings were not too close to each other.
This academy, which had high hopes in the Sui Dynasty, had less than two hundred students, but it had thirty Confucius and Masters who were highly respected and knowledgeable.
The Minister of Rites of the Great Sui Dynasty personally served as the mountain master, but it was a distant leader, just in name. The chief deputy mountain master in charge of specific academic affairs was the former teacher of Shanya Academy and one of the named disciples of the former Wen Sheng, named Mao
Xiaodong has a rosy nose and is ninety years old. However, he looks good and looks like he is only in his fifties or sixties.
The old man did not show up to greet him this time. The reason was that he had to teach in the school and could not delay the students' normal homework. Naturally, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty had no objection.
It is said that the deputy mountain master wore a mahogany ruler on his waist, with the word "rules" engraved on it. I heard that someone had seen it with his own eyes. Before the word "rectangle" on the ruler, someone had carved two small seal characters "not over".
.
This time the Sui Dynasty succeeded in accepting the remaining incense from Shanya Academy. It was unexpected. First of all, it was crucial that Emperor Dali was willing to let it go. Otherwise, everything would be out of the question. Whether it was the talented and powerful emperor Qi Jingchun who felt guilty, or whether it was Qi Jingchun who felt guilty.
There were other plans, and everyone in the Sui Dynasty thought it would be a good thing to take over the academy. However, the gentlemen and students of Shanya Academy, a total of more than 40 people in total at first, were finally able to leave the territory of Dali smoothly, and this old man took the most of the credit.
Wei, the journey has not been smooth sailing, but has been full of dangers.
If we say that the previous Xinshanya Academy, after investing so much manpower, material and financial resources in the Sui Dynasty, still seemed to have everything in place due to the absence of Qi Jingchun, the founder of the academy, and the absence of a sufficiently "orthodox" figure.
Well, starting from today, with the arrival of five students traveling far away from home, it can be said that the east wind has entered Donghua Mountain.
Halfway up Donghua Mountain, there is a Wenzheng Hall, with an image of the sage Confucian teacher hanging in the middle. On the left and right sides are a solemn old man whose name has been deliberately concealed. On the right is a hanging statue of Qi Jingchun, the first master of the Cliff Academy.
In the hall, there was an old man with a mahogany ruler tied around his waist. He respectfully offered three sticks of incense to the three sages. While holding the incense, the old man lowered his head and said silently: "Writing carries the Tao, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation."
————
The old Shanya Academy where Qi Jingchun is in charge has a rule: control the students, but not the food.
Therefore, in the Cliff Academy during the Great Li period, many children from poor families in the North who were able to study in the academy would help the academy copy scriptures to earn food expenses.
Today's Sui Cliff, this rule has not been abolished, but there is a lot more room for maneuver. First of all, the most numerous local students from the Sui Dynasty in the academy are now the first batch. The Sui court chose to draw materials from nearby, so almost all of them are
The descendants of the great Sui family were not short of money. Secondly, the new academy treated students favorably. They only gave away books, pens, and Confucian shirts and clothes, which was an astonishing amount of wealth.
Li Huai was the youngest in the team. After arriving at the school dormitory, because his roommate was still in class and had not returned yet, the child stood alone in the empty room. Li Huai, who had only cried once at the foot of the mountain, suddenly squatted on the ground and started sobbing.
I just feel that I have no parents and no friends. How can there be such a pitiful child like him in the world? His poor new clothes are filled with snot and tears, making him muddy again and again.
In the end, Li Huai cried and opened the bookcase and put on the pair of straw sandals to feel more at ease. However, he was afraid that others would look down upon him if he wore straw sandals, so he put on new boots again, and so on. The lonely and helpless child cried again and again, tearing himself away.
The boy from the same hometown who made up his mind but had no time to call out "junior uncle" in the end thought about all the good things Chen Ping'an had to offer over and over again.
As soon as Lin Shou put away the book box, he went out for a walk alone. The handsome young man with a cold face and firm steps finally found a towering library. Because it was newly built, it also exuded a light woody fragrance.
Along the way, I can always hear the familiar sound of reading, which is much louder than in the small town school.
Lin Shouyi took a deep breath and walked towards the library.
I heard that here you can read ten thousand books without spending a single copper coin.
Lin Shouyi suddenly felt a little sad. If that money man stayed with them, well, after all, it would mean making money.
Li Baoping was sitting in the deserted school building. After opening the book box, she found the letter written by her junior uncle. The letter said a lot, saying that he was going home and would help her tell his family that he was safe.
She must tell her elder brother that she has been very obedient and endured hardships all the way. She said that he punched a hole in the gold and copper coin and threaded it with red thread. She must hang it around her neck in the future and don't lose it, just in case she needs to spend a lot of money in a hurry.
When the time comes, you can exchange it for silver.
The letter also said that he had given her, Lin Shouyi, and Li Huai each a jade hairpin as a parting gift, with the words "Treasure Vase", "Shouyi" and "Huaiyin" respectively engraved on them.
, he hasn’t been of much help, so it’s just a small kindness, don’t dislike it, if you think it doesn’t look good, just hide it.
Li Huai is timid, so play with him more often in the future, and don't let him be bullied in the academy. Lin Shouyi has a cold temper, so you should chat with him more, and don't let the relationship get so far away. Yu Lu's boxing skills are very powerful, thank you actually
They are also gods on the mountain. If there is really a conflict, Aquarius, don't rush to the front alone. You can ask the two of them for help. Don't be embarrassed. Even if you owe them a favor, my junior uncle will help you pay it back in the future.
The sharpening stone called Zhanlongtai, my uncle has left it for you in the bookcase. But remember, when you sharpen your knives in the future, find a place with few people so as not to scare your classmates. Also, remember to collect the sharpening stone.
That little silver gourd...
At the end of the letter, he said that his junior uncle left without saying goodbye and did not enter the academy with you. He wanted to say sorry to you. He walked such a long journey but failed to end well.
Okay. From now on, you should all work hard and study hard. If you are successful in the future, the junior uncle can brag to others and say that he knows Li Baoping, knows Li Huai, knows Lin Shouyi, and knows Chen Ping'an.
There are so many bits and pieces written in the letter, but every word is written meticulously and strictly, neither smart nor elegant.
Just like the character and character of the boy from Mud Bottle Alley.
What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. What is good should be cherished, and you cannot cherish it too much.
As I read, tears fell on the face of the little girl named Li Baoping, like an autumn rain of separation.
Not too big, not too small, but just sad.
The stubborn little girl kept telling herself, "If you don't cry, don't cry. If my uncle sees it, he will be very sad."
————
On the broad street of the Sui capital city, the young man in white chattered and asked with a smile: "If you are so reluctant to let go, why did you sneak away like this?"
It's obviously just rubbing salt into the wound.
After Chen Pingan looked back for a long time, he stopped and walked back with a straight face.
Cui Chan asked: "As a junior junior uncle, aren't you afraid that they will be bullied in the academy? No one will be able to support them then."
Chen Pingan never spoke.
The capital city of the Sui Dynasty was so big that the two of them managed to get out of the city gate before the night ban. Cui Han had an extra bottle of wine in his hand, and he drank it as he walked, taking only a small sip at a time. After leaving the city, he had not yet bottomed out.
A group of elite cavalry rushed out of the city gate like thunder and caught up with the two people on the official road. The leader was none other than Prince Gao Xuan of the Sui Dynasty.
This time he didn't have a grandmaster or a god to protect him. After Gao Xuan dismounted, he came to Chen Ping'an and said with an angry smile: "You don't even want the reward? Aren't you trapping me in injustice?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you can, help me take care of them, and it will be your reward."
Gao Xuan shook his head and said: "It's two different things. I won't pretend to be fat with you over at the academy, because even I can't interfere with it, so I won't agree to you. Just don't worry, my father will definitely be there."
Take time out of your busy schedule to pay attention to the happenings in the academy from time to time. Therefore, the reward I promised you must be given. If you don't accept it, you must take it and throw it away."
Gao Xuan deliberately said with a fierce look: "Chen Ping'an, I am a serious prince of the Sui Dynasty. I must have some dignity, right?"
Chen Pingan nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here."
Gao Xuan laughed loudly, stretched out his fist, and suddenly let go, and slapped Chen Pingan's palm hard, "From now on, you are my friend Gao Xuan! When you come to the Sui capital in the future, come directly to me Gao Xuan."
Chen Ping'an was a little dazed. After taking back his hand, he nodded, "Okay."
Gao Xuan stopped dragging his feet and got on his horse again. Because he was condescending, Gao Xuan bent down and said with a bright smile: "It's a long way, I've prepared a carriage for you, it will arrive soon. If you really like to walk, sell it for money.
It’s okay, don’t sell it cheaply, it’s definitely worth the seven or eight hundred taels of silver.”
Gao Xuan came and went in a hurry, leading the team of elite cavalry back to the city quickly. This scene attracted the sideways glances of many passers-by on the official road.
Chen Pingan and Cui Yi continued to move forward, and Cui Yi asked: "Are you confused about why a prince, your highness, is so polite and enthusiastic to you, Chen Pingan?"
Chen Ping'an replied: "I don't understand it, so I won't think more about it."
Cui Xuan was unwilling to give up and explained: "In fact, it is not complicated, because Gao Xuan has a special status, close to the water, and Huang Tingguo is a vassal of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, there must be their spies in the territory of Da Li. No,
It’s hard to know the general experience of your study tour, and besides, Aquarius’s identity is more important than you think. So he is happy to be a little kind to you and put a long-term plan to catch a big fish. Even if he can’t catch it in the end, it’s not a loss anyway.
.”
Cui Chan curled his lips, "If the Emperor of Great Li were replaced by a monarch from any other dynasty, and if the Cliff Academy was replaced by any mountain master other than Qi Jingchun, it would be like a rotten tree that has been struck by lightning. It will rot.
It's better to die where you are. Of course, the Da Sui Dynasty had the courage to take over the Cliff Academy, which is indeed worthy of admiration. Emperor Da Li also had mixed emotions about this. You may not believe it if you tell me. Yu Lu thanked the Lu dynasty, although it was in ruins
Previously, it was recognized as the most powerful country in the north of Aquarius Continent, but in the eyes of Emperor Da Li, there were only three enemies. Emperor Lu was not among them. Instead, Emperor Gao of Sui Dynasty, whose national power was slightly inferior, occupied a place."
When Cui Chan revealed these secrets, Chen Ping'an was busy putting on his straw sandals.
This made Cui Chan, who was flirting with the blind man, a little frustrated.
Cui Chan asked tentatively: "Sir, you can knit me a pair of straw sandals later. I can also have a small bookcase."
Chen Pingan carefully put away the boots, picked up the big bamboo basket and started on the road again. He said angrily: "Wearing straw sandals is not for fun."
Cui Chan smiled and said, "I think it's quite fun."
Chen Pingan walked forward along the side of the official road, looked straight ahead, and asked: "Is reading fun?"
Cui Chan hesitated for the first time, and finally hung the wine bottle around his waist and tied it with the jade pendant. He held the back of his head with both hands and said, "Reading, I haven't found it fun since I was a child."
After walking far away, in the dusk, with the last bit of light, Chen Ping'an looked back at the towering walls of the Sui capital.
Cui Han, who had been silent all the way, suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, I knew you couldn't help it!"
Chen Ping'an ignored Cui Han's sarcasm and asked seriously: "Should I stay in the academy for a few days to see Aquarius and the others study with my own eyes before leaving?"
Cui Chen was caught off guard by this sudden question. He thought for a while, "It doesn't matter if you leave early or late."
Cui Zhang noticed that Chen Ping'an glanced at him with a disgusted expression on his face: "I asked in vain, you said in vain."
Cui Chan was really a little depressed, and said with aggrieved face: "I have good intentions to help you solve your problems. Isn't this good for you, sir?"
Chen Ping'an glanced at the wine bottle hanging around Cui Han's waist, quickly looked away, sighed, then walked faster and immersed himself in the journey.
Cui Zhang's expression remained unchanged, but he was just shocked. How come, Chen Ping'an always wants to drink?
Oh. It turns out that young people know what it feels like to be sad.
