Chapter 37 The lord, discussing Tao with Master Xu

"Chen Huanxian——?" Mr. Xu's eyebrows twisted into a dissatisfied "Chuan".

Is it him?

Mount Peinan looked away in surprise, and three of the teachers were also "deeply impressed" by Chen Baiqi.

One is Yi Lao, the person who initially recommended Chen Baiqi to climb the platform, the second is Zhang Yi, the first person to ask Chen Baiqi to climb the mountain, and the third is Le Yi who grits his teeth whenever he talks about "Chen Huanxian".

All the Confucian scholars in green shirts in the hall looked towards the door. Since they were taboo about the teacher being on the stage, they only dared to turn their gaze slightly and used their peripheral vision to scan and evaluate the performance on the "high platform".

Glorious young man.

Although he is not the person with the highest ratings on the platform, it is undeniable that he definitely attracts the most attention, especially the fact that he won the competition between Lord Mengchang and Prince Xuan and the Chief of Peinan Mountain with his broken body, which surprised them all.

The young man who is entering is slender, handsome and tall. He is dressed in simple old clothes, a lake green Ge robe, a half-arm open coat, a lacquer gauze crown, and a string of knots on his breasts.

There is no extraneous thing or ornament. Although he walks with a limp, his movements are slow and clear. He is clearly alone and thin, but it gives people a feeling that the vegetation has died in autumn, but the bones of pines and cypresses are still green.

…Perhaps it’s because she looks so calm and behaves so freely.

"Students are here." Chen Bai rose and stood gracefully below, bowing towards the master's seat.

All the teachers and students stared.

So... so confident.

Master Xu glared angrily on the spot: "The Master said on the river, the deceased was like a man who never gave up day and night. Do you know that wasting time like this is a mistake?"

Master Xu had a fit in public, and the students below shrank their shoulders and hurriedly lowered their heads to pick up the dust. Among the teachers with the most explosive tempers in Yuelu Academy, Xu Miao would not be spared.

He roared out with several levels of volume.

Jiang Xuan turned around and saw "Chen Huanxian" appeared, but he breathed a huge sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, he had forgotten the embarrassment and avoidance of shame before, and all he could see was her figure riding the wind happily.

But after hearing Master Xu's severe rebuke, he immediately felt aggrieved for her and stood up: "Master Xu's accusation is too serious. The student thinks that Chen Huanxian has an old illness and a leg injury. There is a reason for the incident."

The four people behind Jiang Xuan, Fu Tang and others looked slightly stunned. After looking at each other, they shook their heads silently.

Children cannot be taught. As a young master of Qi State, he stood up for such a poor scholar, and his status was ruined.

Master Xu stared at Jiang Xuan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes stretched shallowly. His eyes were like a pool of deep water, and the cold diamond-shaped light reflected on his face: "Who is speaking?"

Master Xu did not argue with Jiang Xuan. It would be too vulgar for him to argue with a student in class. He directly asked questions with an obviously high-ranking attitude. In this way, he avoided the important and ignored the easy.

The high and low levels of things are classified.

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, his expression seemed to be dumb, and he paused for a long time before answering: "Student...Jiang Xuan."

How could Master Xu not know who Jiang Xuan was? Master Xu's question was actually an accusation, but also a point out. Even if Jiang Xuan was the son of Qi State and studied at Yuelu Academy, he was just a stranger in front of Master Xu.

A famous student should not be able to take advantage of others by acting like a young master, but should uphold the teaching etiquette of respecting teachers and respecting the teachings.

When a student refutes a teacher in public like this, regardless of whether the reason is legitimate or not, it is a form of disrespect and an act of bullying.

Jiang Xuan was impulsive. When he woke up and realized that he had made a mistake, he immediately fell silent and waited for Master Xu's criticism.

There was a sound of needles dropping in the hall, and only the air moved and the sunlight diffused into the hall inch by inch.

"Jiang Xuan, since you think my way is too harsh and you don't agree with it, what's wrong with you trying to defend 'Zi''s words?"

Master Xu finally spoke, but instead of getting angry, he calmed down. He stroked his beard, shook his wide-sleeved robe, and said as if he was listening attentively.

Jiang Xuan was now completely speechless by Master Xu.

This "zi" refers to Confucius. Who in the Confucian school dares to refute what this sage Confucius said?

Master Liu glanced at Chief Peinan and said in a low voice: "Master Xu has gone too far."

Chief Pei Nanshan said: "Sir, it is natural for you to take the exams for students. There is nothing wrong with this matter."

Master Liu heard that this was correct at first, but when he thought about it more deeply, he realized that he was right and wrong in another way.

The mountain chief said that it is natural for Mr. Xu Miao to take the exam. There is no fault in "this matter". If there is "one thing", there must be "another thing". In this way, the mountain chief Peinan could not think that Xu Miao just angrily criticized Chen Huanxian in public but he had "made a mistake".

Already?

Master Liu made such a guess, but it was hard to be sure, so he could only suppress his thoughts temporarily and wait and see what happens.

Anyway, the mountain chief thought that it was not an exaggeration for Mr. Xu Shikao to announce that the matter was a matter between a student and his teacher. It also meant that there was no room for others to interfere in the matter, so he was free to do so.

"Humph, I really don't know the existence of heaven and earth. There is no saint king in ancient times who did not respect his master. However, the young master of a country lacks the idea of ​​​​respecting his master and respecting the principles. It is all because of a low-level scholar..." Le Yi's cold and thin face

Showing a hint of sarcasm.

Zhang Yi was beside him. After listening, he was silent for a moment and then said: "It's important to learn and have teachers, and it's also important to have friends."

His calm tone seemed not to cause any disturbance due to Le Yi's words, but only he knew in his heart that he was angry.

He also came from a poor family, so he understood and sympathized with Chen Huanxian, especially when he saw that Chen Huanxian was an extraordinary disciple. Disciples from a poor family were not in a low position, just because the nobles always acted like they were superior to others.

Zhang Yi and Le Yi usually have a normal relationship, but this time they argued over one thing, but they couldn't bear to make a fuss. Both of them felt a knot in their hearts, but they didn't continue to argue.

In the hall, Master Xu saw that Jiang Xuan was "silenced" because of his words, and he felt complacent, but his goal was not Jiang Xuan, but someone else.

So everything he did before was just to "invite others".

He then turned his head and glanced at Chen Baiqi, who was watching her nose, nose, and mouth, and her heart. She seemed to be able to keep her composure.

Xu Miao raised his eyebrows and said as if he was particularly kind: "What about you? If you can interpret this sentence and answer it with old stories from other classics, then forget about being late this time."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall were stunned.

Peinan Shan’s long eyebrows sunk slightly.

Master Liu, who had been secretly paying attention to Mount Peinan, saw this and thought to himself - I guess at this moment, Mount Peinan's chief Xu Miao's attitude towards handling this matter is "too much".

You must know that the Confucius sage's theory of language must not only be annotated, but also use other classics to answer its interpretation. This is obviously more severe and demanding than the question just used to ask Jiang Xuan.

Master Liu shook his head. This Xu Miao was really a person who couldn't blink. It was precisely because of his pedantic and severe personality that all the students regarded him as a savage beast.

"Shan Zhang, do you want me to..."

"Let's take a look." The gaze of Chief Peinan was as silent as the clear water of a mountain stream, silently reflecting the gazes of hundreds of people who were alone facing the enemy.

Sure enough, he is still just a boy, with slender arms, narrow waist, immature and calm face, and a thin body that can be shattered by a strong wave. To overcome all difficulties, you need tenacity.

and courage can only be accumulated bit by bit through daily hardships, so that you can broaden your chest and shoulders and grow into a towering tree with deep roots.

So...he wanted to see it again.

Will this young man eventually be killed by wind and rain, or will he attract all the nutrients around him and grow rapidly?

——

Master Xu threw a difficult problem at Chen Baiqi. If other people encountered it, they would be panicked and their minds would be in knots. But when it fell on Chen Baiqi, she thought to herself - Haha, this question was specially sent to me by Master Xu.

Did she brush her face?

You must know that in her time, even if not everyone could recite the Analects of Confucius, they were still familiar, and even some children in early childhood education could recite a few sentences.

Under Jiang Xuan's worried and hesitant eyes, and under the eyes of other people with different expressions, Chen Baiqi bowed his body and said in a clear and clear voice: "It describes the time passing by like running water, never going away.

When I came back, I felt deeply that things in life were changing so quickly, and there was also a sense of cherishing the time. The explanation should be that I am constantly learning."

Master Xu blinked and forgot even the action of stroking his beard. He nodded subconsciously, feeling that this answer was quite decent and satisfactory.

"...Well, I understand it well, but how do I answer it? The source of the answer must be stated." Master Xu said again.

Chen Baiqi turned his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. This is from "Zhuangzi? Neipian"."

Master Xu seemed to be surprised, this green-headed boy was really well-read as rumored. Because the answers were interesting, Master Xu's prejudice against Chen Baiqi was reduced a lot.

The question asked: "What did Confucius think of the term "Guanyong"?"

"Happy but not lewd, sad but not sad." Chen Baiqi answered again.

“Have you read ‘The Analects’?”

Master Xu stared straight at Chen Baiqi, and after she finished answering, he asked questions one after another.

Chen Baiqi, who had always bowed her head humbly, raised her head as if she had received a pardon. She naturally smiled at Master Xu: "May I ask, is this the third question Master Xu has asked his students?"

Master Xu choked, and the moment Chen Baiqi raised his face, he was stunned by her color, which looked like flowers blooming in the flourishing age, and Haitang did not hesitate to blush.

To be honest, Chen Huanxian originally had red lips and white teeth, but now coupled with Chen Baiqi's gentle and elegant temperament, which is suitable for both men and women, his appearance becomes more and more beautiful, like a flawless jade wall, with a charming smile between the bamboo fences, and the mountains of peaches and plums are always vulgar.

Mr. Yuan Jian is more than twenty years old. His teeth are braided and his lips are red.

But in the next moment, Mr. Xu changed his color again, waved his hand at him with feigned disdain, and stopped pursuing the third "question": "Hey, this time I will consider your leg disease and forgive it. Next time

If he commits the crime again, he will be punished for both crimes together."

When Chen Baiqi learned that he had passed Mr. Xu's test, he said "yes" repeatedly. After registering for the roll call, he was listed among the freshmen.

Ordinarily, "Chen Huanxian" is from a poor family, and he has inconveniences in his legs and feet. He will inevitably be criticized for being outstanding and top-notch, and he will be in trouble even if he enrolls in school in the future. But now that she is answering Master Xu in the classroom, she is completely in trouble.

Her appearance in front of the students increased her good reputation, and also allowed some people who had dirty thoughts about her in private to see that she was not someone to be trifled with.

After the "roll roll" was completed, Chief Peinan came to give lectures and publicize some of the main themes of Yuelu Academy, disciplines, morals and other matters. After that, the old students of the academy took the new students to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive their admission. Clothes and daily utensils related equipment.

In addition, freshmen still have three days of rest and rest, so they can go down the mountain or go home. Of course, these three days are only enough for students nearby to go home.

After Chen Baiqi was about to collect the things, he went to the mountain chief to see if he could be accommodating and allow her to bring Xiao Mu'er up the mountain as well.

Of course, Yuelu Academy has a high threshold. Mu'er couldn't even write well and probably wouldn't be able to enter the academy as a student. However, Mu'er has good legs and feet, so it wouldn't be a problem to become a waiter in a small academy.

The person who led Chen Baiqi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked like he was no more than 20 years old, with a medium build, average appearance, and tan skin. Although he was not ugly, there was nothing outstanding about his appearance. However, he had a very kind and generous temperament and a witty tongue. Be approachable.

"I am Lu Hu, named Zigui, a student of the 'Shu Academy'."

Every new student is led by a responsible old student, and Chen Baiqi's old student is Lu Hu. He looked at Chen Baiqi for a few times, then smiled shyly and bowed.

Chen Baiqi returned the greeting: "Hello, brother Hu, I'm Chen Huanxian, I haven't taken my calligraphy yet."

"Oh, doesn't the word call you Bai Qi? I remember Yi Lao mentioned you to us before. Didn't he call you Bai Qi Boy?" Lu Hu said with a surprised smile.

Yi Lao is a teacher from the "Book School". He has been obsessed with it ever since he read Chen Baiqi's "Blind Book". He was also thinking about it when he came to practice, but he was accidentally bumped into by a student. The student was very surprised when he saw his teacher blindfolded and waving. , they came forward curiously and asked. After learning the reason, they were all surprised and sighed, and they were yearning for it. All these reasons originated from this "Bai Qi Boy".

Therefore, Lu Hu knew that "Chen Huanxian" was behind and heard that "Bai Qi Boy" was in front.

After Chen Baiqi learned the cause and effect, she was really stunned. She thought to herself that she didn't want to use the word "Bai Qi" again, but she didn't want to... this... was really unintentional.
