Half an hour later, the mule cart left the city and arrived at the foot of the Wansong Ridge hillside. Lin Jue and Lin Hu got off the cart. Jiao Da jumped out of the cart and rushed to grab the book box and carry it on his back.
Lin Hu was surprised and said: "What are you doing?"
"Let's go up the mountain with the young master." Jiao Daodao.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Who is going to take you to the academy? Your job is to pick us up and drive us there. Now you go back to the house to do some work, and then come down the mountain in the evening to pick us up back to the city. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Jiao Da kept saying "oh" and then handed the book box to Lin Hu. Lin Hu rolled his eyes and carried the book box on his back, following Lin Jue up the mountain road. Jiao Da looked around for a long time before finally getting in the car and driving back.
On the mountain road, Lin Hu raised his concerns: "Master, why do I feel like something is wrong with this Jiao Da? This guy is sneaky."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Yes, I was just a little bit suspicious at first, but he wanted to follow us up the mountain, which had to arouse my great suspicion. He wanted to follow me every step of the way, and he obviously had a purpose.
.”
"Yeah, I'm afraid it's an informant planted around us." Lin Hu frowned.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't rush to draw conclusions now. In fact, if you want to know whether he is suspicious, you only need to do a small test."
"How to test?" Lin Hu asked hurriedly.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this now, today is a big event for the academy to start classes."
Lin Hu nodded repeatedly. The two of them walked up the stone steps. Under the shade of the trees on the mountain road, from time to time, an endless stream of students could be seen walking up. Some of these students were accompanied by book boys carrying book boxes, and some were alone.
Carrying book boxes. Some were dressed in rich clothes, some were in simple clothes, some had a leisurely look, and some were frowning and worried.
Lin Jue sighed when he saw this scene. In fact, these people came here for one purpose, which was to gain fame in the imperial examination. Although Fang Dunru said grandly, Wansong Academy did not have the imperial examination as its purpose, but to
Educate some students who are knowledgeable and self-cultivated. But in fact, in Lin Jue's view, those are just big words. This world is very realistic, and the golden list is the king. From the great sages to the common people of the Zhou Dynasty, everyone understands
This is the truth. When Emperor Zhenzong of the Zhou Dynasty was in power several generations ago, he wrote such inspiring verses as "The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own house of gold." After that, he sharpened his head to take the imperial examination.
It is a common sense and a tone of the Zhou Dynasty.
Specific to Songshan Academy, the reason why Songshan Academy is so famous and the reason why students all want to come here to study is not because every time Songshan Academy takes the imperial examination, many people get high school gold medals. Compared to the fact that there are many famous Confucian scholars gathered in the academy.
In terms of reputation, this incident made the academy even more famous.
Lin Jue was naturally familiar with the process of registering for the academy. He had studied here for two years in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with the process. He paid homage to Confucius, made friends with Shu Xiu, and listened to a lecture from the masters of the mountain in the open space in front of the academy.
After that, the opening ceremony came to an end. Except for Lin Jue, all the students already had their own schools. However, Lin Jue entered the school halfway and did not know which teacher he would join in that school.
But not long after, Lin Jue, who was wandering boredly on Changlang Mountain in front of the school, was stopped by a short old man in black robes.
"Is your name Lin Jue?" the old man asked.
"Yes. Sir, who is..." Lin Jue bowed his hands and asked.
"My surname is Xue, so is Xue Qian. From today on, you will study in my second class class A. I keep my words in mind. I don't care whether you are Fang Dunru's disciple or not, and I don't care whether you are Fang Dunru's disciple or not.
What is the origin of Dunru? Now that you have entered the second hall of my first class and studied under me, you must behave yourself. If you cause trouble and are stubborn and unruly, don't blame me for being rude." The old man shouted in a deep voice. He
Although he is short in stature, he naturally looks majestic and dignified when he stands there.
Lin Jue stuck out his tongue and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, I will trouble you sir in the future. Students will definitely abide by sir's rules. Students are not troublemakers."
Xue Qian said: "Just not causing trouble is not enough. The students in my school must all be outstanding and must surpass all other teachers' schools. No matter whether it is poetry, writing, strategy, playing the piano, chess, archery, or horseback riding, in short, they cannot lose."
Lin Jue looked at Xue Qian with dull eyes, and suddenly he remembered. Although Mr. Xue was not there when he came to the academy to study in his last life, it was because Mr. Xue Qian had passed away. Lin Jue was only listening to other people's words.
I learned that there was a strange gentleman in the academy. He was strong in everything and was extremely strict with the students he led. He was nicknamed "Xue Manzi". Everyone called him Xue Manzi, and no one called him by his real name. So just now
When Lin Jue heard him announcing his name, he didn't think of it for a moment. But when he heard Mr. Xue's words, he immediately remembered it.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid? If you're afraid, get out of here. If Fang Dunru hadn't insisted on inserting you into my school, I wouldn't have cared about you. Looking at your oily face, I can tell that you are an uneducated person.
.Don’t ruin the atmosphere of my first-class second hall.” Xue Qian struck people mercilessly, and his mouth was more vicious than a whip.
Lin Jue was a little speechless. What was Fang Dunru doing? How did he arrange himself into this person's subordinate school? Is this a trick on him? How did he offend him? Lin Jue secretly decided to let Lin Hu General carry him up the mountain.
Two bottles of good wine were smashed.
Xue Qian looked at Lin Jue, who was standing blankly, with eyes full of ridicule and contempt, which aroused Lin Jue's stubbornness.
"I'm not afraid. I don't know how to write the word "fear".
Xue Qian chuckled and said: "Who doesn't know how to brag? Are you really not afraid? Then do you dare to shout a few words now, 'Jiazi Ertang Academy is the most powerful, and the most versatile in both civil and military affairs.'"
Lin Jue rolled his eyes and looked at Xue Qian. The old gentleman is too shameless to make such a request?
When the two were standing in the corridor talking, the long window of the school next to them was already crowded with heads. The students all knew the name of Xue Manzi, and they all stretched their heads to watch the joke. "It's so pitiful. This junior student is so talented that he fell into the trap of the barbarian."
Under your control, sir, there is another lunatic in our academy."
"Yes, how can this scene be so tragic? The students in Hall A and No. 2 are really unlucky to have such a gentleman. Every day they look like fools who have been injected with chicken blood. Alas."
"I think it's good."
"Tch. If you think it's good, why don't you go to No. 2 Hall? Last time, someone lied about being assigned to Mr. Manzi's subordinates. You were so frightened that your face turned pale."
"No, no, you have misunderstood. I think it's true... we study every day and it's boring. It would be a good idea to have a second class as a joke. It would be a good change."
"Hahaha, that's very true. It's a matter of civil and military affairs. It seems that we have to thank Mr. Manzi."
When a group of people were discussing wantonly, Lin Jue was in a dilemma. Xue Qian's eyes were staring at him, and he wanted to shout those two embarrassing words, which really made it difficult for Lin Jue to speak.
"Sir, can we find a quiet place and let the students call you?" Lin Jue said in a low voice.
"Bah, what do I want you to shout in a secluded place? It is precisely because you are in full view of the public and among the cold words that I want you to shout out. This is the effect I want. Only when people can sacrifice themselves can they not worry about gains and losses.
Be upright and aboveboard. A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. And what I asked you to shout is also true. Our Class A and Second Hall is the best in the academy. You can't let go of this, and you are so boastful."
Lin Jue stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and cursed Xue Manzi angrily, opened his mouth and shouted: "Jiazi Ertang is the most powerful, the most versatile in both civil and military affairs. The best in the world, no one can compare with him. Master Xue is the most powerful."
, no one can compare with it.”
Lin Jue added a few words himself, not forgetting the rhyme in his haste. Xue Qian did not expect Lin Jue to add two flattering words, and was a little dazed for a moment. The students in the long windows around him booed and sighed.
Another talented young man has left behind a shameful black history, and this stain will stay with him for the rest of his life.
"Not bad, not bad. It's even better if you can add a few sentences yourself. But you can't just say that you are the best in the world. Although I, the first and second hall, are very powerful, it is still within the academy. As for me, who is the most powerful?
It can't be compared, which is a bit exaggerated. I still know myself. If you want to say that you are the most powerful, you can only be in the academy. Not bad, you can teach me, come with me, our school is over there. Alone.
Which room."
Xue Qian walked with his hands behind his back and his head held high, heading towards a separate school on the edge of a pine forest in the east. Lin Jue's face was flushed, his head lowered, and he walked shamefully in front of everyone in the long window of the corridor.
"Brother, do you know why your second class, A, is not with our school, alone? It's because you are too noisy and noisy, as if you are crazy, so... hahaha."
The student didn't know whether it was kind-hearted or sarcastic, but he explained this little reason to Lin Jue, who was walking with his head bowed. Lin Jue's injured heart was stabbed again.
