What happened last night... really shouldn't have happened. Firstly, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and secondly, she was unwilling to deal with Jiang Xuan's inquiries, so she chose to avoid sleeping. However, her coldness and abnormal avoidance made Jiang Xuan...

You must be holding a grudge.

In this room, Chen Baiqi speculated on the reason for Jiang Xuan's unusual alienation from her, while in the other room, Jiang Xuan, who had already arrived at the "Guanlan Hall", lowered his eyebrows, looked flustered and worried, and kept air-conditioning around.

Next to him were the "Four Great Talents" who had been arranged by King Qi Wei to accompany him. Seeing Jiang Xuan's cold face, they all fell silent in fear.

When others see Jiang Xuan's expression, most people will think that he is angry, but in fact, he is very conflicted and regretful at the moment.

Since last night, he had not wanted to face "Chen Huanxian", and at the same time he was worried about how Chen Baiqi would react if he got up and saw that he left without waiting for her.

Will you be misunderstood? Disappointed? Feeling depressed? Angry or... indifferent...

In fact, Jiang Xuan is not a coward, and he would not deliberately leave Chen Baiqi alone this morning.

Last night...last night, although Chen Huanxian was indeed uncharacteristically cold and distant towards him, and rejected some of his good intentions, he was not an unreasonable person, and it was naturally impossible for him to become ruthless because of such a trivial matter.

The reason why he really couldn't face Chen Baiqi was... the dream he had last night that scared him awake in the middle of the night.

That dream was strange and rosy, with the moonlight misty. "Chen Huanxian" was dressed in fairy clothes, with a gorgeous face and a slim figure. She turned back and smiled at him in the dream. At that moment, his face turned red, his ears were red, and his heartbeat was beating.

accelerate.

At this moment, "Chen Huanxian" is clearly a sister-in-law in Jiang Xuan's eyes!

Jiang Xuan was young and frivolous, and he suddenly dreamed that the person he considered a "close friend" turned into a sister-in-law. He also had strange thoughts about her, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul and lost his soul.

Wake up from a dream.

For this reason, Jiang Xuan felt extremely ashamed and felt that his heart was dirty and it was difficult to face such a true and glorious Chen Huanxian.

When he woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy. When he saw Chen Huanxian sleeping quietly and softly on the bed next to him, he felt a burst of heat coming to his head. He was half ashamed and half palpitated. Without thinking, he left her and ran away alone.

.

Jiang Xuancai suddenly woke up when he arrived at "Guanlan Hall". Firstly, he was worried that Chen Huanxian's injured leg would cause inconvenience in walking, and secondly, he was worried that she would not know whether she would recognize this "Guanlan Hall" when she was new and had no one to guide her.

After thinking about it over and over again, Jiang Xuan knew that he had done another stupid thing.

As he grew up, the first stupid thing he did was not learning from his father how to wield power and raise troops to support the country. The second thing was that he was "confused" right now.

His handsome long eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

Nowadays, the teachers and students of "Guanlan Hall" have all arrived one after another. From time to time, the director will ask for the names of new students, and he doesn't know whether "Chen Huanxian" can arrive in time.

"Guanlan Hall" is equivalent to the facade of Yuelu Academy, so it is elegantly and delicately arranged but not lacking in comfort. The porch and foyer stretch to the north and south, and transparent windows and corridor thresholds are set up to connect the north and south, and the indoor and outdoor scenes blend together.

There are ten scholars who can stay in the mountains this time. These ten people are all famous Confucian scholars from the north and the south. Among them is Jiang Xuan and his four nobles accompanying him. Except for Chen Bai, who has a quota, the remaining four people are also.

A handsome young man with a romantic background.

Mr. Pei Nanshan was dressed in a neat long robe and a black fur-collared cloak. His face was as beautiful as jade, and he had kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He led two teachers with different ages and styles, followed by more than a dozen resident lecturers. Guanlan

Facing the south of the hall is a red lacquered square platform about two meters high. There are seats behind the platform, and this square platform is where all the teachers hold their lectures.

The audience was divided into left and right, and the scholars and common people were seated at different places. The nobles were on the left, and the poor families were on the right. The two on the left and right were current students of Yuelu Academy. They were uniformly wearing blue shirts with double breasts and turbans on their heads, looking like gentle scholars.

dress up.

The ones in the center, dressed in ordinary scholar attire, are the specially invited students with high rankings on the platform this time.

Chief Peinan's eyes were as clear as water. When he looked down, his first glance was focused on the "leader" Jiang Xuan, and his second glance focused on "Chen Huanxian".

However, he discovered that "Chen Huanxian" was not among the freshmen team.

So, he moved his eyes to the animal-shaped cauldron under the red lacquer square platform, and saw that a stick of incense was inserted into the incense cauldron, and it was already burning more than half of it. This meant that the Mao hour had passed and the Lichen hour was approaching.

Jiang Xuan waited for Chen Huanxian for a long time and was ready to speak for her first, but was persuaded by the four powerful men behind him one after another.

Mount Pei Nan looked down and smiled warmly. His voice was only heard by the left and right, and he said: "Today the bell is ringing and I will take a half-day break to count the names of the new students. I wonder if everyone can be here?"

He was asking the Chief Master Liu next to him.

Master Liu stepped forward and said: "There are more than 130 students from each college. Except for important matters or illness, they are all here."

Chief Peinanshan nodded.

"Where are the new students? Does the expert know about it?"

Master Liu paused for a moment, and Xu Miao on the side continued: "The new students will be unified by the internal affairs servants, except for one person..."

Mount Peinan knew who Xu Miao was talking about.

There are three residences in Zhulinwan. One is for receiving ordinary foreign guests, the second is for receiving special foreign guests, and the third is for receiving distinguished foreign guests. They are divided into Zhuwai, Zhuzhong and Zhunei.

The place where Chen Baiqi lives is "Zhuwai", and the boundary where Chen Baiqi accidentally broke into Yingfu is "Zhunei". As for "Zhuzhong", although it has the character bamboo, it is different from the "Zhuwai" and "Zhunei" of the bamboo forest.

"It doesn't matter.

"Where is Yan Qi?" Chief Peinan asked again.

Master Liu responded quickly this time: "He went out early in the morning and said he would be back on time for the roll call, but now... the time is almost here, but he is still missing."

Master Liu, Liu Ziheng, is 40 years old. He has a beautiful beard, long eyebrows and narrow eyes. His personality is quite rigid and rigorous. It is best not to behave like Mo Jing (Yan Qi) who comes and goes without a trace.

Dealing with unpredictable people.

Xu Miao said: "The mountain chief wants to find him?"

Xu Miao came from a Confucian family of the Xu family in Shandong. He had an erudite family background, an intelligent nature, and was good at Confucian classics and phonology.

Xu Miao is in his mid-thirties this year, but he has been well maintained over the years, plus he has no beard and has fine skin and tender flesh, so he looks like he is only in his early thirties.

"Since he said he would come, he will come. There is no need to do anything extra." Pei Nanshan said.

"promise."

Liu Shidao: "This new student seems...to be missing one person?"

Master Liu squinted his eyes, and his field of vision narrowed but became sharper.

He glanced towards the new student's office and saw nine people standing sparsely in one area. It was clear at a glance that Bai Qi, the young boy who had made a blockbuster appearance on the climbing platform, "Chen Huanxian", was now missing.

In fact, all the scholars and students below were suspicious.

The students of Yuelu Academy couldn't see what happened on the platform that day, but they also heard about the important events that happened during that period, so they were somewhat curious about this young man from a poor family.

There is contempt, suspicion and curiosity from the nobles, while there is also envy, admiration and curiosity from the common people.

"What should I do? If Huanxian loses this opportunity to enroll because of me, how should I face Huanxian in the future?" Jiang Xuan was uneasy and wanted to turn around and go back to Zhuwan several times to look for him.

Master Liu, who was on the red lacquer table, snorted coldly: "Those who do not believe in their words will not achieve results in their actions. There is no need to wait for an unpunctual person to start the roll call."

Pei Nanshan's face was calm, so he could not refute Master Liu, so he could only say: "Let's get started."

First of all, Master Peinan wanted to speak to the teachers and students. After he finished speaking, he stepped back to watch the ceremony and gave up his position on the podium.

After Master Liu bowed to the headmaster of Peinan Mountain, he stepped forward. He said to the students who were standing at the bottom: "Before the new students order their names, please tell them about the teaching methods of Yuelu Academy."

way."

The students below were stunned and immediately shouted in unison: "Learn well, interrogate, think carefully, discern clearly, and practice diligently."

"Good!" Master Liu squeezed out a smile very stingily, and then said: "Please invite the new students to come forward."

The phrase "freshmen come forward" means that the roll call is about to begin.

The so-called "roll roll" means that the teacher records the detailed information of the new student in the database. From then on, the new student is a prospective student of Yuelu Academy.

Jiang Xuan and the others stepped forward. He lowered his head slightly, and his usual wind-like steps seemed a bit heavy.

Master Liu took out a bamboo book that recorded names and taboos, and read one line from it: "Zheng Qi from Huo County."

"Zheng Qi is here." Among the nine freshmen, a young man dressed in pink stood upright and folded his palms towards Master Liu above.

Master Liu glanced at him.

Xu Miao spread a bamboo book behind him, holding a stroke in his hand, and said: "State your name, age, ancestral home and subject you are good at."

The man named Zheng Qi immediately reported his life experience and origins one by one.

Of course, due to personal reasons, if you do not want to report your life background in public, you can also report it privately. However, the writing style of contemporary scholars is open and aboveboard, and they never hide their personal dirt. Usually, when introducing themselves, they will give their surname and residence.

The earth will be reported together, so if you are timid, you will be looked down upon by others.

After Zheng Qi's roll call was successfully completed, it was the next one's turn to appear.

"Leave Chen Huanxian's as the last one," Chief Peinan suddenly said.

Xu Miao was right next to Mount Peinan. He was startled when he heard these words, but he quickly came to his senses. He stepped forward and whispered to Master Liu. Master Liu frowned, but it was difficult for him to argue with Shan about such a trivial matter.

He reluctantly agreed.

Originally, Chen Baiqi was in fourth place, but now she waited until everyone had finished reporting before it was her turn. This was obviously to delay her time.

It seems that Chief Peinan has an unusual attitude towards this "Chen Huanxian". Could it be that he really intends to accept this lame Chen Huanxian as his disciple?

Xu Miao and Master Liu both guessed this.

Seeing one after another, and soon it was the last person's turn, Commander Penan lowered his eyes slightly disappointed and shook his head.

Even though Chen Huanxian has thousands of reasons to explain her lateness, the "mistake" on the roster today may leave a stain on her.

"Next, Chen Huanxian."

Finally, I came to the last name "Chen Huanxian".

Master Liu had known for a long time that this Chen Huanxian was not among the freshmen, so he was just calling out as a routine inquiry.

"Chen Huanxian." Master Liu shouted loudly again to give face to the unwilling Shanchang.

There was silence in the hall, everyone looked at each other in silence, and naturally no one answered.

"If he is not here, then this person will be dropped from the list." Master Liu stroked his beard and announced impatiently.

Jiang Xuan's expression changed, he couldn't wait any longer, he took a step forward: "Wait a minute -"

"Chen Huanxian is here."

A clear and sonorous voice came directly through Jiang Xuan's voice and entered the hall. Everyone suddenly turned around, and their movements were so uniform and neat. At the south gate, they saw a lame young man coming towards the south gate, covered with bright sunshine and morning dew.
