The three Mao Badou were all wearing dark blue Confucian shirts with wide sleeves.
From the outside, the three of them are the same as before, the only difference is that Mao Badou is thinner than before.
"Badou, is it because the academy's food is not good, and it is so thin?"
Mao Badou didn't answer yet, but Li Datian and Chen Jian looked at Mao Badou with a somewhat uncontrollable look.
"What's wrong?" Xue Tingxiang asked curiously.
Mao Badou pushed the two of them away, and came over to take the luggage that Xue Tingxiang was carrying: "Let's go, ignore these two people, since I've lost weight recently, and my appearance is better than before, these two people keep it up every day. Sour."
Li Datian couldn't help laughing: "You're right, Ajian and I are both sore to you. You are suave and handsome, but you are an unparalleled young gentleman, okay?"
Mao Badou pushed him aside, dragged Xue Tingxiang and walked forward: "Don't pay attention to this fellow."
The three entered the academy together.
The scenery in the academy is different. Instead of the usual restraint of the academy, it has a style of Wei and Jin Dynasties. The buildings are always tall and wide, dotted with greenery, not as compact and scattered as the current fashionable courtyard form. There are towering ancient trees and vines entwined everywhere, making people think that this is not entering the academy, but entering the mountain.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Beilu Academy is built on the hillside, so the building can't be quite satisfactory. The scenery of Yunzhong Mountain is pleasant. If you open the mountain and cut down trees, it will be a bit of a waste. Therefore, this academy is built on the mountain and does not change the pattern.
The last time I came to Beilu Academy, Xue Tingxiang had seen the scenery in it, and he was not too surprised at this time. He followed Mao Badou and others all the way in, and after walking for almost two quarters of an hour, he arrived at a house. before the house.
Xue Tingxiang thought to himself, it seems that in the future, if I study in the academy, I won't mention anything else, at least I will keep fit.
This house is not big, it only looks like one enters.
In the main hall, Lin Miao was waiting for a few people.
This time, Lin Miao did not bring a few disciples alone, but brought his wife and daughter together. Seeing his wife Tao Shi, Xue Tingxiang was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, but respectfully called his wife. Tao Shi smiled and nodded to him, and went down with the tray.
Lin Miao asked about Xue Tingxiang's current situation, and then asked if his family was well arranged.
Up to now, Lin Miao and others don't quite believe that Xue Tingxiang stayed at home one step late because something happened at home, and they all thought that the newlywed couple couldn't bear each other. However, it was naturally impossible to say these words face to face. Lin Miao was not Mao Badou either. After a few simple questions, he let Xue Tingxiang settle down.
Mao Badou and a few took Xue Tingxiang to settle down, and their residence was in the east wing.
Although this east wing is not big, it is a room for one person, which finally makes Xue Tingxiang breathe a sigh of relief and don't need to sleep in the Chase.
Seriously, Xue Tingxiang and the others are not students of Beilu Academy, they are just living here as students of Lin Miao.
Beilu Academy has strict admissions, once every three years, and only more than ten people are admitted each time. Over the years, many students have come to Beilu Academy to study, but very few have been accepted.
In another month, the academy will accept students. There will be a lot of people who come to study at that time. According to the rules of Beilu Academy, you must pass the entrance exam of the academy before you are eligible for admission. What Lin Miao meant was that he planned to let his students also enter Beilu Academy, so he would bring a few people to come first, of course, for the autumn season in August.
But let Xue Tingxiang see it, the teacher, who is taking care of his family, doesn't seem to plan to go back to Xia County. I asked Mao Badou a few times to find out that something happened to the teacher's house.
To be precise, it was about Lin Yanran.
Lin Yanran had already arranged a marriage, and this marriage was ordered by Lin Yanran's grandfather, that is, Lin Miao's father. The other party and the Lin family are family friends, and they are also from a scholarly family. Their surname is Li.
It is said to be a scholarly family, but the age is still short, but it is passed down from father to son. Lin Miao's father is a scholar, Lin Miao is a scholar, and Li's father and son are also scholars.
The only difference is that the Lin family owns a library, while the Li family is a family heirloom. They have hundreds of acres of fertile land, and they can be regarded as not-so-small landlords.
This marriage was originally planned to be a baby kiss, and it was formed when the Qingyuan Academy became famous.
Over the years, the Lin family declined. After that, Lin's father died, and the Li family moved to Wanxian County. The relationship between the two families gradually faded. However, Lin Miao was someone who kept his promises, and he still remembered this marriage. He expected that even though the relationship between the two families had faded, there was still a marriage contract here.
Since Lin Yanran was fifteen years old, Lin Miao has been waiting for the Li family to come to propose marriage.
Not until.
After a year, he couldn't help but send a letter to ask. The other party's explanation was that the family was busy, and he came to propose marriage after the trivial matters at home were over.
This waited for another two years, and until Lin Yanran was seventeen, the other party still did not understand. Lin Miao sent a letter to ask questions. The other party replied that his son was busy with fame. At a critical time, when everything was busy, the Li family would come to the door to propose marriage and apologize.
In fact, the matter is not what the other party said at all, but the father of the person who married Lin Yanran just got hit with it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as going to the sky. I feel that my son's marriage is set a little low.
No, last year was approaching the end of the year, Lin Miao couldn't help but sent another letter to ask questions, and admitted that if the Li family were not satisfied with the marriage, they canceled the marriage contract. The other party only told the truth, and said that his son had already arranged another marriage, and sent the betrothal token back.
Lin Miao didn't mention it in anger, Tao Shi washed her face with tears all day long, and although Lin Yanran said she didn't care, and told her parents not to be sad, it only took half a month for her to lose weight.
To put it bluntly, which girl's family would not care about this, she also thought that the future husband was that person, who would have wanted to be dismissed from the marriage.
This year, the Lin family was not doing well, but Xue Tingxiang was rushing for the wedding date, and in addition to the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, it was inconvenient to go to the town, so he didn't notice.
Until Xue Tingxiang got married in February, Lin Miao, who had attended the student's wedding, brought his wife, daughter and three students to Beilu Academy with his family. As for Qingyuan Academy, he handed it over to Mr. Mo. He had been fighting with himself for the first half of his life, and now even the major events in his daughter's life were lost, and it would be a joke if he continued.
After hearing this, Xue Tingxiang hadn't spoken yet, but Mao Badou said angrily: "Dogs look down on people, and one day they will know that Lord Ma has two eyes."
Xue Tingxiang couldn't be angry anymore, but laughed.
Li Datian also smiled, and smiled at Xue Tingxiang and winked at Mao Badou.
With this wink, Xue Tingxiang's mind was a little confused anyway. It was only when he saw that Chen Jian also smiled and glanced at Mao Badou, who was angry and cursing, he suddenly realized.
He stepped forward and patted Mao Badou, and said, "Look, it's not your business, why are you so angry."
"Why isn't it my business? The teacher's business is the student's business, and the disciples take care of it!"
"Not because of anything else?"
Mao Badou felt a little guilty, and said, "Nothing else, I don't understand what you said." He quickly interrupted: "By the way, your house is not complete, I will ask my wife. , get you a washbasin."
With that said, he hurried away.
Leaving the three people behind, Xue Tingxiang looked at Li Datian and Chen Jian, and the two smiled at him, knowing everything naturally.
It is said that women are the ones who please themselves, but I didn't expect Mao Badou to understand this. It was Li Datian who solved the confusion for Xue Tingwan, saying that Mao Badou secretly liked other girls, but he didn't dare to say so, so he secretly asked what kind of men the girls liked.
Li Yanran was also frightened by him, so she told the truth, saying that she liked the gentle and polite, preferably thin and tall.
He, this is good, except for Gao, nothing is touched. Mao Badou came back that night, the lights in the room didn't go out all night, and he began to starve himself the next day. He was determined to be a gentle and beautiful man after hearing the name.
The three bad friends joked for a while, and the other hair was angry, knowing that Datian's broken mouth must be known to passers-by for him.
Why does he want to be a handsome man? His sister said, while you are young, it is not too late!
Xue Tingxiang lived in Beilu Academy like this.
The environment here is quiet, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. If it is not too boring, it is really a good place to read.
Xue Tingxiang lived here for a few days, but no one came and saw no outsiders. After asking, I found out that this area is not an academy, but it is a bit similar to a place where family members live in an academy.
In addition, to be serious, Lin Miao was not considered high in the Beilu Academy, and he had been in Xia County for many years. There were not many acquaintances in the academy, so naturally no one came to visit him. .
After careful understanding, I realized that Beilu Academy is different from ordinary academies. Here, it is not a few gentlemen who teach a large group of students, but each gentleman has his own students, and the same students will also accept students.
It is further divided into six branches, namely benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.
This is not to say that there are still gangs in the academy, but it is an old tradition handed down by Beilu Academy. In the previous dynasties, lectures were popular, and each academy had a student-organized academy, as was the case at the Beilu Academy in the beginning. Later, the imperial court strictly prohibited private lectures, and these academies changed their faces one after another, and the academies in Beilu Academy became six branches.
Or like-minded people get together to discuss knowledge together, in fact, that is to change the soup instead of the medicine. It's just that with the collapse of the previous dynasty and the intentional suppression by those in power, this style of lecturing gradually disappeared, and these six branches simply became six branches, without any special meaning.
Students who have entered the academy can choose a teacher at will.
For example, Lin Miao belonged to the Renzi School, and the leader of the Renzi School was the leader of the mountain, Lu Huanqing, who was also Lin Miao's teacher.
Lu Huanqing accepted a total of seven students, Lin Miao ranked last, and among his seven students, each of them accepted a lot of students, all of whom were of the Renzi School.
Therefore, after Xue Tingxiang entered the academy, it should also be of the Renzi School.
Xue Tingxiang listened for a long time, and only came to a conclusion that the future master is the mountain chief.
He knew about this for a long time, but it was a coincidence that he didn't see the master himself last time. Since the master is the mountain chief, there must be advantages to being a disciple and grandson, and I don't know what the advantages are.
Xue Tingxiang soon knew what the benefits were.
