Qionglin Residence is the study hall of Qionglin Academy. The students of Qionglin Academy are all educated in Qionglin Residence. In addition to Zhuo Qingyang, there are three other old gentlemen in the academy.
Yang Ning and Jiang Suiyun followed Zhuo Qingyang to a secluded house in the east corner of the academy. Before they entered, they heard the sounds of singing and dancing inside, and the sound of joy and laughter.
At this time, outside the monastery, several old gentlemen from the academy were waiting. When they saw Zhuo Qingyang coming, they all saluted. Zhuo Qingyang introduced: "This is Jiang Suiyun. Suiyun has met several gentlemen."
Jiang Suiyun bowed to the end and said politely: "Junior, I pay my respects to all seniors."
Several old gentlemen looked at Jiang Suiyun with smiles on their faces. One of them laughed and said: "So this is the dean's favorite student, Suiyun. The dean is rigorous in his studies and never praises his disciples easily, but he often mentions it to us." You said that you are extremely talented, diligent in studying, and have outstanding literary talent, and I am full of praise for you."
Jiang Suiyun still said respectfully: "This is the great love of my mentor. Suiyun is stupid. If it weren't for the enlightenment of his master back then, he would never be where he is today."
Zhuo Qingyang said with a smile: "Suiyun, you don't have to be too modest. Every time you send someone to send an article, I have also read it to these gentlemen. They are knowledgeable about the past and present, and they also appreciate your article quite a lot. .”
"Dean, we don't admire it very much, but we appreciate it very much." A gentleman laughed and said: "Suiyun, I heard that you have been at sea for three years and traveled overseas. The vision of us old people is now far beyond the I won’t fuck you.”
"Gentlemen, you are exaggerating, how dare I take this position?" Jiang Suiyun sighed: "If my mentor hadn't led me to stand by the sea, pointing to the distance and telling me that there is a world beyond the sky, there must be a world far away in the sea, this junior would also be I won’t have any thoughts of traveling overseas.”
Yang Ning saw a few people chatting and laughing, and seemed to have forgotten his own existence. He felt a little troubled. Seeing Jiang Suiyun's elegant and extremely humble look, he secretly thought that when it comes to pretentiousness, this kid is really not inferior. To people.
There was a lot of chattering in the library, and Yang Ning even saw a lot of girls pushing the windows open a crack and squeezing behind the windows to look around. He knew that those girls were certainly not here to see a few old guys, let alone to see them. I can only be this young Master Donghai Jiang who is facing the wind.
"Mr. Kong, let's go in and start now." Zhuo Qingyang said very considerately: "Sui Yun was commended as a virtuous person. The Holy Master may summon him at any time in the past few days. I also asked him to take time to come and give a lecture, but I can't Too much delay.”
Jiang Suiyun solemnly said: "Teacher, this time my mentor recommended to the imperial court, and with the help of several adults in the imperial court, the student was really ashamed to be commended as a virtuous person. However, if the student resists the mentor's recommendation, it would be too disrespectful. . In fact, students have little talent and little learning, and they still need a lot of experience. They really cannot be regarded as virtuous."
"You don't have to say that. You know who you are as a person and a teacher, and your literary talent is not inferior to others." Zhuo Qingyang said seriously: "After reading poetry and books, you still have to do something for the country. Now the court is also employing people. "Although the imperial court has asked me to recommend people with both political integrity and talent to the imperial court several times, I thought in the first few years that you were still young and needed more experience. Now that the time is right, it's time to come out and do some practical things for the people."
Yang Ning suddenly realized that it was Zhuo Qingyang who recommended Jiang Suiyun to the capital.
Mr. Kong had already walked aside and there was a string of bells hanging there. Mr. Kong grabbed the rope and rang the bells. The sound of the bells was clear and sweet. After ringing, the Yingying Yanyans in Qionglin Juli laughed happily. It soon became quiet.
Zhuo Qingyang walked into the library first, followed by several gentlemen, but Jiang Suiyun only walked to the door of the library and did not enter immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to Yang Ning next to him and smiled: "Please! "
He actually didn't even call him "Master Hou".
If Duan Canghai hadn't reminded him before entering Qionglin Academy that there was no distinction between rich and poor in this academy, Yang Ning could not help but find trouble.
It seems that these old guys really don't take the Marquis seriously.
He did not hesitate and followed into the study hall. Qionglin Residence was very quiet at this time. Yang Ning glanced at it and saw that the study hall was very spacious and open, with red flowers and green willows, colorful, but There were also more than forty students, all kneeling on futons on the ground. There was a low table in front of each person, in groups of two.
When Yang Ning came in, all the girls looked over. Yang Ning's mental quality was not bad and she was calm and relaxed. When she saw the three old masters had sat down on the futon in the front, looking around, they saw Su Zixuan sitting on the three seats. Behind the famous master, who was already in the front row, Su Zixuan looked at herself with a look full of hatred, and then turned away.
Seeing Yang Ning looking around, Zhuo Qingyang coughed and said, "Qining, please find a place to sit down."
Yang Ning thought to himself that since you old guy asked me to come over, even if you don't receive me as a distinguished guest, you should be more hospitable and at least arrange a seat. It's better now. You still have to find a seat by yourself. The three old masters are not polite and will move to the front. Three of my futons have been occupied, so I can at least leave one for myself.
Looking everywhere, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes, but he saw a person sitting alone at the back of the library. There was actually an empty seat next to it, and the girl sitting alone happened to be Xiaoyao.
Almost everyone in the study hall is in groups of two. Only Xiaoyao is sitting alone in the corner, looking quite alone.
Without saying much, Yang Ning walked through the crowd and reached the corner. He smiled at Xiao Yao, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and asked softly: "Can I sit here?"
Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment and finally nodded slightly.
Yang Ning then sat down next to Xiao Yao and saw Xiao Yao leaning to the side, as if she didn't dare to get too close to him, knowing that Xiao Yao must be concerned about other people's eyes.
Zhuo Qingyang coughed and finally said: "I told you yesterday that I have a disciple who is quite outstanding in literary talent. He also spent three years studying abroad and is quite knowledgeable. I asked him to come over today and talk about his experience traveling overseas. , so that everyone can have more experience." He said to the door: "Suiyun, come in!"
I saw Jiang Suiyun slowly entering with a smile on his face.
He was very handsome, and he came from a wealthy family. He was well-dressed and well-fed. He still had that aura of wealth. Coupled with his gentle manner, he looked very chic and suave.
All the girls in the study hall turned their eyes to Jiang Suiyun. Yang Ning glanced at Xiaoyao beside him, and saw Xiaoyao also looking over. Her heart suddenly felt a little blocked, thinking about Jiang Suiyun. Suiyun, you're so damn late waiting outside the door, don't you just want to enjoy the attention of thousands of people
Zhuo Qingyang had already walked aside with his hands behind his back. After Jiang Suiyun came on stage, he first bowed deeply to Zhuo Qingyang on the side, and then bowed deeply to everyone, looking humble and polite.
"Jiang Suiyun is a student of Mr. Zhuo in the East China Sea. He is my enlightenment teacher." Jiang Suiyun said with a soft voice and a smile on his face, "Today I have the honor to visit Qionglin Academy. I am truly lucky."
The girls in the audience were all staring at Jiang Suiyun. Many of them did not blink, as if Jiang Suiyun would disappear the next moment they blinked.
"I was asked by my mentor to come to the academy and talk about my study tour experience. In fact, I have very little experience and am not qualified to give lectures on the stage. But since my mentor has given instructions, Suiyun has no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward." Jiang Suiyun said with a smile. : "Everyone here is the disciple of my mentor. If you count them all, they are all the junior sisters of Sui Yun. Today, Sui Yun can only show his shame in front of all the junior sisters."
The more Yang Ning looked at it, the more dissatisfied it became. She couldn't help but muttered: "It's a lot of nonsense."
Xiaoyao heard clearly and turned to look at Yang Ning. Seeing the disgusted look on Yang Ning's face, her beautiful eyes turned slightly, as if she thought of something, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
"My teacher taught me to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Jiang Suiyun's expression was gentle, and even his posture was very elegant. He said slowly: "You must read the books, but you must also walk the road. There are many Things cannot be seen in books. I would like to take my teacher's advice. In the early years, Suiyun traveled around the Central Plains. To be honest with you junior sisters, I was not only in Dachu, but also in the mountains and rivers of the Northern Han Dynasty. Suiyun has also had a glimpse of the scenery, and the beauty of the country is still fresh in his memory."
"Mr. Jiang, you have traveled to so many places. Didn't you start traveling when you were very young?" A girl asked sweetly.
As soon as Yang Ning heard the voice, she knew it was Su Zixuan.
Jiang Suiyun smiled and said: "Junior sister, that's a good question. When Suiyun was sixteen years old, he went out alone and traveled around the world."
"Young Master Jiang is so courageous." Su Zixuan said in a sweet voice, "At our age, let alone traveling around the world, we are a little worried even when we leave home."
Jiang Suiyun smiled gently and said: "Junior sister, it's not that you are timid, but you have never tried. If you make up your mind and can really walk out, you may be bolder than me. In many things, the most fearful thing is to take the first step. Before taking the first step, few people thought that they could succeed." He turned around and bowed slightly to Zhuo Qingyang and said, "Just like this Qionglin Academy, before this, few people thought that women could enter the academy to study. , but my mentor has accomplished this thing all his life. I wonder how many scholars in the world don’t know the existence of Qionglin Academy? This Qionglin Academy is the capital, no, it is even a shining pearl of our great Chu."
Yang Ning secretly exclaimed, yes, this flattering Zhuo Qingyang must be very comfortable. He glanced at Zhuo Qingyang and saw Zhuo Qingyang gently stroking his long beard, with a calm expression and no indication of his mood.
Su Zixuan chuckled and said: "My name is Su Zixuan, Jiang... Senior Brother Jiang can call me Junior Sister Su!"
Yang Ning sneered on her lips, cursing in her heart that she was in the study hall, in front of everyone, can you be more dignified, little girl? Fortunately, the marriage has been severed, otherwise I would never be able to accept this kind of woman.
Jiang Suiyun nodded slightly at Su Zixuan, and then briefly commented on the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. He was also considered to be very talented in literature and spoke elegantly. After making a brief comment, he changed the subject and said, "But let me What I remember most is my travels overseas in the past three years." He smiled mysteriously and asked, "Junior sisters, do you know what the shape of the moon is like overseas?"
The girls looked at each other, but Su Zixuan still said: "Senior Brother Jiang, isn't the moon overseas round? Oh, I understand, it's half-moon shaped?"
Jiang Suiyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, actually the moon overseas is square, square, just like the shape of a square table!"
Yang Ning was stunned and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
