A motorcade slowly stops at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. In the luxurious carriage, the princess steps down the small ladder and climbs the mountain surrounded by soldiers.

The mountain breeze came slowly, stroking her skirt and hair. The noble and cool Princess faced the wind and narrowed her clear eyes.

In the arbor on the hillside, she saw an old man with gray hair. The old man was sitting in front of the case. Opposite him was a child.

The child was surrounded by a girl who bowed her head to make a needlework.

The old man said in a deep voice, "I have told you many times that you should hold the pen in a correct posture."

Child: "yes, sir."

Old man: "then you should change it back."

Children: "change what?"

"Well, if you don't write today, read the Three Character Classic with me." The old man sighed and then cleared his throat:

"at the beginning of human life, human nature is good."

Child: "at the beginning of human life, what is sex?"

Mr. Wang: "at the beginning of a man, his nature is good."

Child: "human nature is good."

Sir: "what do you stop in the middle?"

Child: "I forgot."

Mr. Wang: "in the beginning, human nature is good."

Child: "at the beginning of human life, what is sex?"

My husband is crazy.

Outside the pavilion, the princess can't help laughing. Her eyes are as clear as ice mirror. In a flash, the beauty is alive.

The old man knew the princess. He immediately got up and bowed respectfully: "I've seen the princess."

The noble and cool Princess nodded slightly, and her voice was as clear as ice: "when did Yunlu academy have more children?"

The old man turned his head and motioned for the two sisters to come to the ceremony. After Xu Lingyue got up, she gave a salute. Xu Lingyin looked at the woman with a different breast from her mother and a better temperament and appearance.

The old man said awkwardly, "if a child is rude, don't blame the princess."

He is not too anxious. Although the eldest princess is cool and noble, she dare not be offended, but she is a scholar, and she is not inferior to her son.

The old man then said, "they are the family members of the students in the Academy. Because they have something to do at home, they let them stay in the Academy temporarily."

Refuge... The wise eldest princess immediately analyzed the meaning of the words, examined the pretty girl and the less intelligent child, and said with a smile, "which student?"

She is also half an academy student. She knows the rules of the Academy very well. Without the consent of the great scholar, the family members of the school children can't live in Qingyun Mountain.

Xu Lingyue said in a soft voice, "my brother, Xu Xinnian."

She didn't mention Xu Qi'an because he was not a student of the Academy.

Xu Xinnian... The princess's eyes flickered slightly. After investigating Xu Qian's background, she immediately recalled the brotherhood between them.

The chief agent behind the tax case is Zhou Shilang. About ten years ago, Xu Qi'an and Zhou Shilang's son had a conflict in the downtown... The eldest princess looked at the pretty girl and said gently, "when did it happen?"

"Nearly ten." Xu Lingyue said.

He and Caiwei know each other, and Caiwei knows that Zhou Shilang is involved in the tax case, so that the ordinary petty official will also know about it. Knowing that he has offended Zhou Shilang, it's a good way to send the family members to the Academy, but it's better for the whole family to escape from Kyoto.

Send the women's family members to the Academy, but the men in the family still stay in the capital, so... What's the plan?

Thinking of the fuse of Zhou Shilang's dismissal, the eldest princess narrowed her pretty eyes, nodded slightly, and continued to climb the mountain with her bodyguard.

...

accord!

The eldest princess looked at Zhao Shou, slightly surprised: "ten days no see, the Dean looks very different."

The former Dean was slovenly, with long gray hair and gloomy brows.

Today, he has clear eyes and spirit. He is full of vigor and vitality.

Zhao Shou didn't give a positive answer. He said with a smile, "the sage says that learning has no age, and achieving is the first."

He means that someone can be his teacher, but he is not very old. Is it related to the Qingqi of the temple of Asia that day.

She was very interested in the changes of Yasheng academy, and was eager for knowledge, because it involved the dispute of Confucian orthodoxy and the future court structure.

What happened that day?

No one is allowed to enter the Yasheng academy, and the watchmen can do nothing about it.

The princess looked out of the window at the deep blue bamboo grove and sighed, "do you know about Zhou Shilang's dismissal from office?"

"For Dafeng officialdom, this is only the first step of the party struggle." Zhao Shou shook his head with a smile. He didn't want to talk more about it. He waved to the chessboard and said, "Li mubai has never played chess since he defeated Wei Yuan three times. There are not many people in the Academy who can talk with me by hand. Since the eldest princess is here today, I will accompany you to the next game. "The eldest princess said helplessly, "if you play chess with our palace, why should the Dean take shame on himself?"

...

on the other side, in the attic built next to the cliff.

As soon as the three great Confucians finished their discussion, the scholar sent a letter saying that the eldest princess had visited the academy and had it handed over.

In her handwriting, the eldest princess said that recently a masterpiece appeared in the capital, which was talked about by scholars in the capital. Guozijian was regarded as the leader of poetry in the past 100 years, which was superior to the farewell poem of Yunlu Academy.

Moreover, compared with the farewell poem, the poem "the top poet in the past 100 years" comes from jiaofangsi, a talented man and a beautiful woman. The story is more interesting and more widely spread...

at the end, the eldest princess attached the poem which was popular in the circle of scholars in the capital in just a few days.

I've been closed for a few days, and the capital has produced its first masterpiece? Zhang Shen gazed at the attached poems.

"A gift of fragrance from Yingmei Pavilion"

all the fragrant flowers are swaying away, and they are all in the garden.

Thin shadow horizontal oblique, clear water, fragrance floating on the evening.

Zhang Shen is like a sculpture. He is silent for a long time. He gently puts down the paper in his hand and looks at Li mubai and Chen Tai who are drinking tea and chatting.

"Chunjing, Youping, look at this." Zhang Shendao.

The seriousness of his sudden expression stunned the two great scholars. Li mubai took the paper and quickly glanced at it. Then his eyes sank and his relaxed freehand gesture faded.

"Let me see." Chen Tai saw that they looked like this. He stretched out his hand and took out the paper. After reading it again, he tasted it carefully for a long time.

Chen Daru sighed with a long sigh: "thin shadow, dark fragrance, two sentences will be the beauty of plum writing, really exquisite mind ah."

Li mubai then commented: "Ningyan that the world who do not know the king, of course, it makes people proud, but on the far-reaching artistic conception; the beautiful choice of words; the outstanding charm... Really far apart."

Zhang Shen stroked his beard and sighed: "as soon as this poem comes out, it is a unique singing of plum blossoms. Who is Yang Ling? I have never heard of her talent. "

Chen Tai read the calligraphy again and said, "it seems that a scholar in Changle County wrote this poem to give it to Huakui Fuxiang..."

speaking of this, the teahouse was quiet, and none of the three great Confucians spoke.

A sour smell ferments and diffuses in the air.

Zhang Shen pondered for a long time and said, "I think we should immediately inform the dean to enroll this scholar in the Academy. Such talents must not be buried. "

Chen Tai and Li mubai readily agreed: "it's reasonable."

...

when I came to pick up my aunts and sisters, Xu cijiu and Xu Ningyan, as students, first visited the teacher.

At the end of the lecture, the three great Confucians knew that the "valued" students visited, so they simply gathered in the hall to drink tea.

Zhang Shen first glanced at the disciple whose temperament had changed. He was satisfied and said, "it's very beneficial for you to copy the quotations of saints."

Xu cijiu, a moment of shame, nodded.

Li mubai was surprised and said, "is it helpful to enter the realm of self-cultivation to copy the quotations of saints? Why didn't I find out? "

Xu Erlang opened his mouth and finally chose silence.

He did touch the threshold of self-cultivation, but that was when he saw the four sentences written on the stone tablet by elder brother.

It's a subtle process.

But it's not easy to say it in public, even if you know the source of those four sentences.

After chatting a few words, Chen Tai glanced at Li mubai and Zhang Shen, and said with a smile, "you two live in the capital. We can see that the capital has produced a masterpiece recently. The light shadow slants horizontally, the water is clear, the fragrance floats, and the moon is at dusk. Wonderful, wonderful.

"Ning banquet, although there is poetic talent, but also do not be proud, it should be noted that the world's scholars Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger ah."

The old man is just jealous that we have a good student... But the old man's words can't be refuted. Zhang Shen had no choice but to say: "this poem is really amazing. There is no need to compare it with Ningyan. It is useless to compare it with Yongmei."

Li Mu nodded: "although today's scholars lack some aura, there is a case in the end. Yang Ling may not be able to make a second song. In the future, there will be a third poem and a fourth one is very likely. "

Xu new year looked at his cousin and said, "this poem is also written by my elder brother."
