Surrounded by seven or eight girls, Jiang Suiyun was talking and laughing when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuo Qingyang in the Hexagonal Pavilion, saying something to Su Zixuan and others, and then hurried over.
After entering the pavilion, Jiang Suiyun first smiled and nodded at Yang Ning, and then a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, as if he was wondering why the two people were talking in the pavilion.
"Teacher, my student's brief meeting today made my teacher laugh." Jiang Suiyun bowed deeply to Zhuo Qingyang.
Zhuo Qingyang sat down again, his tone was still very calm, and he stroked his beard and said: "There is no superficial opinion. I have said that in this Qionglin Academy, you can speak freely about any theories. It is a good thing for a hundred schools of thought to contend."
"Students are grateful to receive the teachings from their teachers."
"Suiyun, you have been recommended as a virtuous person. The Holy One may summon you at any time in the past few days. You should not walk around in the virtuous hall and wait for the Holy One's will." Zhuo Qingyang said slowly: "I recommended you, it's I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong, no matter how the court appoints you, you just have to serve the country wholeheartedly.”
Jiang Suiyun said: "The student knows that he will not let down the expectations of his teacher and the Holy Master." He turned to Yang Ning and asked with a smile: "Do you also want to go back home? I came in the car, why don't you come with us?"
Zhuo Qingyang shook his head and said: "If you have anything to do, you can go back first. I have hired Marquis Jinyi to be the gentleman of Qionglin Academy. Marquis Jinyi does not care about his status and is willing to teach in the hospital when he is free, so I still have something to say. He ordered.”
Jiang Suiyun's body trembled and he looked extremely surprised. Naturally, he did not expect Zhuo Qingyang to make such a decision.
Yang Ning had already put his hands behind his back, stared at Jiang Suiyun and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are outstanding in learning. You studied under Mr. Zhuo and received the kindness of Mr. Zhuo's teachings. Have you ever thought about repaying Mr. Zhuo's teachings?"
"My mentor's kindness will never be forgotten, so I naturally want to repay it all the time." Jiang Suiyun had two confrontations with Yang Ning. Others may not understand it, but he already knew that Jin Yihou looked quite easy-going on the outside, but But he is a very powerful person, and this person must be dealt with carefully.
"That's good." Yang Ning smiled and said: "Since you are full of talent and learning, why not also put your name in the academy and come to give lectures when you have time? What do you think? I believe you will not refuse."
Jiang Suiyun was startled at first, and then glanced at Zhuo Qingyang. He saw that Zhuo Qingyang was calm and relaxed, stroking his long beard, but looking at himself without speaking.
Jiang Suiyun reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "If my teacher allows me, I will serve you."
"Mr. Jiang, what you said is wrong." Yang Ning said immediately: "Mr. Zhuo is not the imperial court. You can serve the imperial court, but Mr. Zhuo will never let you serve. Teaching and educating people is not about who you serve, but who you serve. You need to have a heart to educate people. If you sincerely want to teach the students in the academy, your husband will definitely ask for it, but if you are just here to serve him, I don’t think your husband will take you in."
Jiang Suiyun was angry. He didn't want Yang Ning to make a fuss about his simple words, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I made a mistake."
Zhuo Qingyang said: "If you have free time, it's okay to come over and give lectures occasionally, as long as it doesn't delay official business."
"The students know." Jiang Suiyun said: "Sir, don't worry, the students will definitely take a few days to come every month, so I won't disappoint you."
Zhuo Qingyang nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "You go first!"
Jiang Suiyun hesitated for a moment, then finally saluted, turned around and walked out of the pavilion. After taking a few steps, he seemed a little suspicious. He looked back and saw Yang Ning standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a half-smile, and frowned. , quicken the pace and leave.
After Jiang Suiyun left, Zhuo Qingyang smiled and said: "Qining, do you know that your temperament is not like your father's, but very similar to your mother's."
Yang Ning's body trembled, and she immediately turned around, stared at Zhuo Qingyang and asked, "Do you know my mother, sir?" Suddenly he remembered that Gu Qinghan mentioned before that after the establishment of Qionglin Academy, no one entered the academy to study at the beginning. Qining's mother was the first one to jump out and eat crabs.
In fact, Yang Ning has always had a mystery in her heart about that woman.
That was the royal wife of Jinyi Hou Qijing, and her status in Jinyihou's mansion was naturally not low. However, not only had I never seen that lady in the mansion, no one in the mansion even mentioned her. It was as if that person had never been there. It existed, and only Gu Qinghan occasionally clicked on it, but he only touched on it and never talked about it in depth.
That lady seems to have become a taboo in Jinyihou Mansion.
Although Yang Ning has no direct relationship with the lady, he has always wanted to know why this situation occurred. He wanted to find out why the dignified Lady Jinyi became a taboo that everyone in the Hou family kept silent about? What's the story behind this
At this time, news about the lady unexpectedly popped out from Zhuo Qingyang's mouth. Yang Ning was surprised and had already sat down on the stone pier beside Zhuo Qingyang.
Zhuo Qingyang's expression became emotional, as if he was thinking of many past events. He looked at the bamboo forest outside the pavilion, thoughtfully, and then asked after a moment: "You have two more... Well, it should be three months." , you are seventeen years old, right? Seventeen years old...!" He sighed, full of regret.
"Sir, I... what kind of person is my mother?" Yang Ning stared at Zhuo Qingyang, "I... I have never seen her."
Zhuo Qingyang sighed: "Did you know that in a few days, Qionglin Academy will have been founded for nineteen years. Your mother was the first child to enter Qionglin Academy nineteen years ago."
Yang Ning thought that what Gu Qinghan said was indeed correct.
"Nineteen years...!" Zhuo Qingyang smiled bitterly, "The words and deeds of those children in this yard seem like they happened yesterday."
"Sir, who are those children you are talking about?"
Zhuo Qingyang shook his head, was silent for a moment, and then said: "It was at Qionglin Academy that your father met your mother, and that's how...!" After a cough, he quickly took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and covered his mouth, Yang Ning hurriedly stood up and supported Zhuo Qingyang, patted him on the back, and said worriedly: "Sir, are you okay?"
Zhuo Qingyang coughed for a while, wiped his mouth, and then quickly put away the cloth. The cloth was light yellow. The moment he put it away, Yang Ning clearly saw that the cloth had a bright red color. He instantly understood that this person The old gentleman actually coughed up blood.
He was taken aback, but Zhuo Qingyang waved his hand as if nothing was wrong, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's the same old problem, don't worry." Then he smiled and said: "When you came to the academy today, I was not polite or enthusiastic to you. Are you blaming me in your heart?"
"Of course not." Yang Ning said: "Sir is not only your father's teacher, but also your mother's teacher. The parents of the younger generation are just students in front of you. It is wrong for the younger generation to call you 'sir'. You should be called master." My husband is not too polite to me, so he naturally treats me as his own child."
Zhuo Qingyang turned his head and looked at Yang Ning behind him, his eyes showing brilliance, and nodded: "As expected, a hero comes from a young age. You are not very old, but you are not only knowledgeable, but you can also see the truth of many things, hahaha, Your father is not as smart as you, and your intelligence is all passed down from your mother." After a pause, he asked: "Do you know your mother's name?"
Yang Ning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No one in the house has mentioned mother."
Zhuo Qingyang shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Have you read the [Book of Songs]?"
Yang Ning thought that if he said that he had not read it, the old man would probably kick him out immediately and take back the letter of appointment that had just been awarded. But if he said that he had read it, once the old man discussed the Book of Songs with him, there would be some trouble. .
Fortunately, Zhuo Qingyang has already slowly said: "The Book of Songs "Tang Feng·Yangzhi Shui" says that if you wear plain clothes and red gauze, you will follow your son Yu Wo. Now that you see a gentleman, why not be happy? If you will wear plain clothes and red gauze, you will follow your son Yu Wo. , seeing that you are a gentleman, why should you be worried?" He stared at Yang Ning and said, "Your mother's name is Liu Suyi!"
"Liu Suyi?" Yang Ning couldn't help but recited silently in her mind.
"Su Yi is smart, naughty but not unruly, and quirky." Zhuo Qingyang showed a smile on his face, "The first time I saw her, I decided to accept her as my disciple, and she did not let me Disappointed. I have had countless disciples in my life, but not many have truly become disciples. Counting over and over again, there are only two female disciples who can win me over."
"Mother is naturally one of them." Yang Ning said with a smile: "You can tell it by looking at Mr.'s expression."
Zhuo Qingyang nodded and said: "No one who has met her dislikes her. I like her intelligence and frankness. The two female disciples I like have exactly the opposite personalities. Your mother is strong on the outside and soft on the inside. They are soft on the outside but strong on the inside. I have always thought about what it would have been like if these two girls were really together back then, but I don’t know who would have the upper hand." At this point, he smiled knowingly.
Yang Ning suddenly discovered that Zhuo Qingyang didn't smile much today, but when he mentioned Liu Suyi, he obviously smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Who is the other person sir mentioned?" Yang Ning asked.
Zhuo Qingyang smiled and said: "You won't recognize it, and you have no chance to recognize it. I like to travel around the world. I used to walk among the mountains and rivers. Even after I founded Qionglin Academy, I still take some time to go out every year. It's just that Now that I'm older, I don't go out less than before." After a pause, he sighed: "There is another female disciple that I met in Bashu. Like your mother, she is not only beautiful, but also extremely smart. ." He waved his hand and said: "That's all, I won't say any more. I know what you want to ask, but there are some things that I can't tell you here. Those are your family affairs. Since your Marquis Mansion didn't tell you, it's natural that they are among them. Maybe it’s time for you to know the truth, but you don’t have to know if you don’t want to.”
Yang Ning knew that since Zhuo Qingyang didn't intend to tell him, even if he asked, there would be no results, and he was even more confused. He thought about why everyone mentioned Liu Suyi with a mysterious attitude. What was there? Hidden secret
After bidding farewell to Zhuo Qingyang, Yang Ning prepared to leave the academy along the same path. When he walked to the pond where he met Xiaoyao before, he couldn't help but glanced at the pond and saw two or three girls chatting and laughing by the pond, but there was no figure of Xiaoyao. , a little disappointed, sighed lightly, and then heard a clear voice from behind asking: "Why is the prince sighing?"
