No one in the Sui Dynasty, from His Majesty the Emperor to the generals and ministers behind him, felt inappropriate about the rudeness of those children. Instead, they all smiled and found it quite interesting. This is evident from the flourishing literary style of 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 jacket who caught the most attention, looking very anxious. It seemed that the youngest child, perhaps because he was unfamiliar with the place, was afraid of the battle arrayed by the Sui Emperor, so he started sobbing on the spot.
Not only did the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty not show any 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 Sui Dynasty turned around and looked at the end of the street, reluctant to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not rush or be in a hurry, it was not a problem to keep procrastinating like this. A great scholar, one of the three deputy mountain masters of Xinshanya Academy and a famous figure in the literary world of the Sui Dynasty, had to follow. Your Majesty apologized and walked out of the team alone to remind those children that they should enter the academy.
Fortunately, there were no twists and turns afterwards. Although the children did not know the etiquette of the court, they were more innocent and cute. The Confucian disciples bowed and saluted in a fashionable manner, which greatly pleased Emperor Long Yan of the Sui Dynasty. He personally rewarded each of the five children with a "righteousness" jade pendant and a box of golden dragon ink ingots. After entering the academy, 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. Li Baoping and the other three were relieved to face a formidable enemy. 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 assigned to different school buildings. Since the academy occupies a large area, except for Yishan In addition to the row upon row of buildings, the entire Donghua Mountain was actually owned by Shanya Academy during the Sui Dynasty, so the many school buildings were not too close to each other.
This academy, which had high hopes in the Sui Dynasty, had less than 200 students, but it had 30 masters with high moral standing and profound knowledge.
The Minister of Rites of the Great Sui Dynasty personally served as the mountain master, but it was a remote leader and only a name. The chief deputy mountain master in charge of specific academic affairs was the former teacher of Shanya Academy and the name of the former literary saint. One of the disciples, named Mao Xiaodong, has a rosy nose, is ninety years old, but looks good, and looks only fifty or sixty years old.
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 Sui Emperor had no objection.
According to legend, the deputy mountain master wore a mahogany ruler around his waist, with the word "rules" engraved on it. I heard that some people have seen it with their own eyes. Before the word "rectangle" on the ruler, someone carved two small seal characters "not over".
This time the Great Sui Dynasty succeeded in accepting the remaining incense from Shanya Academy, which was unexpected. First of all, it was crucial that the Emperor of Great Li was willing to let it go, otherwise there would be no need to talk about it, no matter how talented and strategic the emperor was. Qi Jingchun felt guilty and stillThere was another plan, and everyone in the Sui Dynasty thought that taking over the academy would be a good thing. However, the teachers and students of Shanya Academy, a total of more than 40 people in total, were finally able to leave the Dali territory smoothly. This old man took the greatest credit. The journey was not smooth sailing, but was full of dangers.
If we talk about the previous Xinshanya Academy, after investing so much manpower, material and financial resources in the Sui Dynasty, it still seemed that everything was ready because of the absence of Qi Jingchun, the founder of the academy, and the absence of enough "orthodox" figures. Owe the east wind.
So, 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 most holy 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 the first president of Shanya Academy. There is a hanging statue of Qi Jingchun, the owner of the mountain. In the hall, there is an old man with a mahogany ruler 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: "The text carries the way, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation." ."
————
The old Shanya Academy where Qi Jingchun is in charge has a rule: control, but not food.
Therefore, in the Cliff Academy in the Great Li era, 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.
In today's Sui Cliff, this rule has not been abolished, but there is a lot more room for maneuver. First of all, the local students from Sui Dynasty, which has the largest number of people in the academy, are the first batch, so the Sui court chose to be nearby. The materials were collected, so almost all of them were children of the Sui family. These people were not short of money. Secondly, the new academy treated students favorably. Just books, pens, ink, and Confucian shirts and clothes were given away by many academies, which was an astonishing 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 he squatted on the ground and started sobbing. He felt that he had no parents and no friends. How could there be such a pitiful child like him in the world? His poor new clothes were covered with snot and tears, making him muddy again and again.
In the end, Li Huai cried and opened the book box, and put on the pair of straw sandals to feel more at ease. However, he was afraid that wearing straw sandals would make others look down on him, so he put on new boots again, and so on again, the helpless child cried. I cried and cried, thinking over and over again about the boy from the same hometown who had made up his mind but had no time to call out "junior uncle", and thought about all the good things Chen Ping'an had.
After 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 of woody aroma.
As we walked along, we could always hear the familiar sound of books. There was much more sound of reading 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 sad, if that money addict stays with them, he will definitely read books hard, after all, it is equivalent to making money.
Li Baoping sat 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. She reported to her family that she was safe, and made sure to tell her elder brother that she had been obedient and endured hardships all the way. He said that the gold and copper coin had been punched through a hole and threaded with red thread. It must be hung around your neck from now on and don't lose it. If you need to spend a lot of money in a hurry, you can exchange it for silver.
The letter also said that he had prepared a jade hairpin for each of her, Lin Shouyi and Li Huai as parting gifts, engraved with "Treasure Vase", "Shouyi" and "Shouyi" respectively. "Huaiyin", he hasn't been of much help along the way, just consider it 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 and don't let him be bullied in the academy. Lin Shouyi has a cold temperament, so she should talk to him more, and don't let the relationship become so far away. Yu Lu’s boxing skills are very powerful. Thank you, he is actually a god on the mountain. If there is a conflict, Baoping, please 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, in the future, little uncle Just pay it back for you.
Uncle Junior Master has left the sharpening stone for you in the bookcase, called the Dragon-Zhanping Platform. But remember, when you sharpen your knives in the future, find a place with few people, so as not to scare your classmates. them. Also, remember to put away the little silver gourd...
The letter finally said that he, the junior uncle, left without saying goodbye and did not enter the academy with you. He wanted to say sorry to you. He has come such a long way but failed to start well and end well. It is because he, the young uncle, did not do a good job. From now on, you must all be good and study hard, and you will be successful in the future. Junior Master Uncle can brag to others, saying 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 spiritual 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. Cherish what is good, 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.
It’s not big or small, but it’s sad.
The stubborn little girl kept telling herself, "If you don't cry, if you don't cry, my uncle will be very sad if he sees it."

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 was obviously rubbing salt on 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 bully others in the academy? ThenThere was no one to support them at this time. ”
Chen Ping’an never spoke.
The Sui capital city 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 I drank a pot of wine as I walked, taking only a small sip at a time. After leaving the city, I had not yet bottomed out.
A group of elite riders rushed out of the city gate 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 was not escorted by a master or a god. After Gao Xuan dismounted, he came to Chen Pingan and said with an angry smile: "You don't even want the reward? Aren't you trapping me into injustice? ”
Chen Pingan 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 get involved, so I won't agree to it." Just rest assured, your father will definitely take time out of his 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 said deliberately and fiercely: "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 a fist, 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 retracting 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 to go. I've prepared a carriage for you. It will arrive soon. If you really like walking, it's okay to sell it for money, but 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 attention of many passers-by on the official road.
Chen Pingan and Cui Xuan Continuing to move forward, Cui Chan asked: "Are you wondering why a prince, your highness, is so polite and enthusiastic to you, Chen Pingan? ”
Chen Ping’an replied: “I just don’t understand it, so I won’t think too much about it.” "
Cui Chan was unwilling to let it go and explained on his own: "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, plus it is within the territory of Da Li. There must be some of their spies. It is not difficult to know the general experience of your study tour. Furthermore, the identities of Aquarius and the others are more important than you think. So he is happy to be a little friendly to you and put his long-term interests in fishing for the big fish. Even if he fails to catch the big fish in the end, it is not a loss anyway.
Cui Chan curled his lips, "If Emperor Dali were replaced by a monarch from any other dynasty, and if Cliff Academy was replaced by any mountain master other than Qi Jingchun, it would be like a stick struck by lightning." The rotten wood will just rot and die in place. Of course, Da Sui had the guts to take over the mountain.Ya Academy is indeed worthy of admiration. Emperor Da Li also has mixed feelings about this. You may not believe it. Although the Lu dynasty where Yu Lu Xie belonged to was recognized as the most powerful country in the north of Aquarius Continent before its collapse, Da Li Emperor Li only had three enemies in his mind, and Emperor Lu was not among them. Instead, Emperor Gao of the Sui Dynasty, who was slightly less powerful, occupied a place. "
At the moment when Cui Yi revealed these secrets, Chen Ping'an was busy changing into straw sandals.
This made Cui Yi, who was flirting with the blind man, a little frustrated.
p>
Cui Chan asked tentatively: "Sir, you can knit me a pair of straw sandals later, and you can also have a small bookcase. "
Chen Pingan carefully put away the boots, picked up the big bamboo basket and hit the road again. He said angrily: "Wearing straw sandals is not for fun. ”
Cui Chan said with a smile: “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, tied it with the jade pendant, and held the back of his head with both hands, "Studying, I haven't found it fun since I was a child. "
Going far away, in the dusk, with the last bit of light, Chen Ping'an looked back at the majestic city walls of the Sui capital.
Cui Yi, who had been silent all the way, suddenly burst out laughing. "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 and see Aquarius and the others studying with my own eyes before leaving?" "
Cui Chen was a little caught off guard by this sudden question. He thought for a moment, "It doesn't matter if you leave early or late. "
Cui Chan 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 depressed. With a look of grievance on his face, he said: "I have good intentions to help you solve your problems. Isn't it good for you to do this? "
Chen Ping'an glanced at the wine bottle hanging around Cui Han's waist, quickly looked away, sighed, then walked faster, immersed in his journey.
Cui Chan's expression No change, just shocked. Why does Chen Pingan feel like drinking?
Oh, it turns out that the young man knows how to feel sad.
