The moon and stars are rare, and all sounds are quiet.
Wei Ci held a faint candle in his right hand and walked silently across the corridor.
The moonlight pulled his shadow so long that it reflected on the door.
"Master?"
Wei Ci paused and saw a figure sitting in front of her.
Mr. Yuanjing tilted his head, raised his hand at Wei Ci and beckoned, "Zixiao, come to Wei Shi."
Seeing the cloak on Mr. Yuanjing's shoulders, Wei Ci stepped forward and sat beside him, putting the lamp aside.
"How long have you been waiting here, Master?"
Wei Ci knew that Mr. Yuan Jing was waiting for him without asking.
"It's not important." Mr. Yuanjing said lightly, with a faint smile, "Zixiao is not a reckless person, what happened in today's assessment is for the teacher, Youmo and Shaoyin. They beat people with a book case in public. , you won't even be able to do it when you are three or five years old."
Wei Ci's face turned slightly red, and she bowed her head to admit her mistake, "My disciple knows I'm wrong, and I ask Master to punish him."
Mr. Yuanjing shook his head and asked him, "Why should you be punished? As a teacher, I don't think you did anything wrong. On the contrary, you played well."
It's not that people were killed, and that scholar's actions were indeed too much.
Mr. Yuanjing rambled, "I came here today for the teacher, not to scold you, but to tell you that it's okay to be more casual. Your temper is too serious, your mind is heavy, and you like to pretend to be anything. In the stomach, hiding from everyone alone. To put it vulgarly, others are not the roundworms in your stomach, how can you know what you are thinking?"
Wei Ci remained silent and lowered her head, wondering if she had heard it.
Mr. Yuanjing beat his numb leg with his hand and said casually, "If you want to say something, just say it."
"Teacher... I don't dare to say it."
Wei Ci had a lot to say, but she turned her mouth to make a circle, but she couldn't say anything.
Mr. Yuanjing smiled and said, "Zixiao, there are many taboos for conspirators, one of which is not to speculate on other people's will. I know why you dare not say it, because from what you see, you already have in your heart. I have the answer, so there is no need to say it, is that so?"
Wei Ci remained silent.
Mr. Yuanjing smiled helplessly, "My teacher does not deny your ability to calculate people's hearts, but there is only one person, and you are afraid that you will miscalculate."
Although Mr. Yuanjing did not name the person by name, Wei Ci had a tacit understanding with the teacher, and he was clear in his heart.
"Only with a thorough understanding can you be able to make a complete decision." Mr. Yuanjing pouted at Wei Ci and teased, "In the future, if you look down and see her, if you treat her with the prejudice of the past, I am afraid you will leak the bottom faster. . The past is like a cloud of smoke, and you should observe everything around you with a new mentality, and don’t be blinded by the past. If you can’t do this, you should lose or lose, and the loss will be worse.”
Wei Ci finally changed her expression, looking at Yuanjing with a bit of shock and dodge in her eyes.
Mr. Yuanjing said with a low smile, "The old man is old, but his eyes are not yet blind."
After a long time, Wei Ci broke the silence.
"Master, the disciple wants to leave for a few days."
Mr. Yuanjing said, "Because you want to escape?"
Wei Ci shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If Tu'er was so cowardly and unable to face the reality, he would have moved to Zhongzhao with his clan early, why would he stay in Langya and come to Shangjing dryly? It would be an accident to meet him. It's not that she is unacceptable, but seeing her in her teens, not only is she not firm in her heart, but she is a little confused, as if... my disciple never knew her."
Opening the chat box, Wei Ci, who has always been taciturn, poured out his long-strained thoughts in front of Yuanjing like a child.
Mr. Yuanjing has always played the role of a listener.
He vaguely guessed Wei Ci's experience, but he never thought that so many contradictions and pains were squeezed in the child's heart.
"If you feel uncomfortable, leave some time temporarily to sort out your thoughts." Mr. Yuanjing said.
Wei Ci shook her head and said, "Teacher has nothing to do, Master doesn't need to worry about it. Now, many things are different, and people are different, especially her... If the disciple continues to be entangled by the memories of the past, I am afraid that he will live a better life. Not as good as in the past.”
His goal is to make a name for himself in history, as an upright conspirator, not as an unbearable one.
Not to mention being ridiculed by future generations, it has become a stain on her body.
He once felt that the former caused him pain, but when the sword pierced his throat, he suddenly realized that the latter made him even more unacceptable.
Mr. Yuanjing looked at Wei Ci for a long time, sighed and said, "It's best if you can think that way, get to know each other again, and the old person will have a new look."
Wei Ci clenched her fists secretly, "My disciple understands."
Elsewhere, Liu She returned to Fengfu in a carriage with a tired body.
The ranking of this evaluation has already been arranged. He copied a copy of the list, stored it in the letter folder, painted it, and presented it to the emperor. As for whether the other party saw it or not, it was not for him to intervene.
The list will be released three days later, and the end of the list will be the Qionglin Banquet. As the chief assessor, he will show up.
After that, there was basically nothing to do with him.
The courtyard of the guest room was brightly lit, and Liu She saw the maid Ta Xue beside her daughter waiting at the entrance of the courtyard with a lamp.
"Lanting didn't come back tonight?" He closed his cloak to block the cold wind from the outside world.
When Ta Xue saw Liu She's return, she stepped forward with a happy expression on her face.
"Reporting to the master, the slave is waiting for you here on the orders of Langjun."
Liu She frowned and said sternly, "What does Lanting have to do with me?"
For this girl, Liu She has always valued it very much. The other party must have something important to do with him, so he can't be delayed.
"Langjun never said, just let the slave tell the master that Langjun is waiting in your room."
Liu She nodded as she walked, guessing in her heart that her daughter had something to do with him.
When they arrived at the door of the room, a lamp was lit indoors, and Jiang Pengji was reading some books under the candlelight.
"Father." Jiang Pengji raised her head when she heard the movement.
"Listen to Ta Xue, do you have something to do with me?"
Liu She hurriedly closed the door to prevent the cold wind from dissipating the heat in the room.
"Have you not handed your father's letter to the official office yet?" Jiang Pengji asked.
"Naturally not yet, I plan to wait until after the Qionglin Banquet." Liu She sat opposite Jiang Pengji, and saw that she was holding a map of Kun, "Does Lanting have any good suggestions?"
"My father wants to be a rich man, but his son is not filial. I dare to ask my father to work hard for a while."
Liu She raised her eyebrows, "Won't you hand over the book?"
Jiang Pengji shook his head and whispered, "That's not the case, I want my father to try his best to take Chongzhou."
Chongzhou
Liu She's mind changed and he understood a little, "Take the opportunity to gather troops?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Not only that, but there are several other purposes.
