The next morning, the old servant came and knocked on the door. Gu Ao and Tian Rong packed up their things and started on the road again.The old servant said: "Today's application time, you should be able to go to Shanyun Academy."

Along the way, Gu Ao saw Tian Rong dozing off, so he ignored him.The carriage was pitted by stones, and the body shook, Tian Rong woke up, then squinted, and fell asleep again.

Gu Ao couldn't see Tian Rong taking a nap like this, so he simply didn't look at it.Instead, he raised the curtain and looked out of the window, but saw that the mountain road became more and more humid as he walked deeper and deeper, and vines could be seen everywhere, together with the ancient trees in the sky, setting off the deep blue color. more quiet...

The ruts were rumbling, and Gu Ao looked up, and saw the high and far blue sky exposed in the gaps in the forest, as the car drove higher and higher...the surroundings were filled with clouds and mist.Surrounded by clouds and mists, the entire Cuishan Mountain looks even more distant.

Gu Ao was moved by the beautiful scenery, he couldn't help looking at the mountain like a fairy house, and sighed in his heart: "I saw the sentence in the book 'The green mountain alone returns to the far away', I couldn't understand it at the beginning. What kind of situation is it? When I saw it today, if it was this 'cloud mountain', it would be worthy of that poem."

Gu Ao was immersed in the beautiful scenery, and wanted Tian Rong to see it, and he pushed it several times, Tian Rong asked in a daze, "What are you doing?" and fell asleep again, Gu Ao had no choice but to give up. It's a pity that Tian Rong didn't see this mountain view.

At this time, Tian Rong, who was immersed in a sweet dream, felt sorry for Gu Ao.

Tian Rong sneaked out of the inn yesterday, and ran all the way to the legendary "Golden House" on West Street. Before he arrived, he found that the trees on the road were all hung with silk ribbons. Tian Rong saw it , was shocked, and his body and mind could not help but become quiet... He didn't even have a piece of silk clothes, so he used silk ribbons to tie the tree here?

Tian Rong knew that among the three young masters of the Tian family, only Tian Song, whose body was about to grow, was tailored to a larger scale, and a brocade suit was made for him, but Tian Song and Tian Rong were still the same. Without brocade.

Tian Rong looked at the "brocade wood" on the street, which was even more colorful under the radiant candlelight. The night is sultry, but the lights here are as bright as day, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere.

And the "Golden House" standing in front of him is even more radiant in the dark night. 'It's not a lie.

It happened that the slave at the gate was a newcomer, and when he saw Tian Rong running in panting, cleanly dressed, and with a flattering round face, he thought it was a messenger boy, and said to him, "Miss Peony. Waiting in the side room, why are you lingering at the door, why don't you go quickly?"

How well-behaved Tian Rong is, he immediately said: "Exactly!" He jumped into the building with one step, and once inside, Tian Rong was even more fascinated... He had never seen so many people in luxurious clothes and expensive clothes. Beauty, I have never seen such a beautiful building, he couldn't help but be led by his own legs to walk around in it...

The so-called mandarin duck tent is warm, and the spring is beautiful.Tian Rong didn't understand this, so when he saw it, he was taken aback by the scene, and in a hurry, he knocked over a silver wine glass. When he heard someone shouting at him, he pulled his legs towards the exit. He ran... Finally he ran out, he didn't dare to stop, and ran for two consecutive streets before he collapsed to the ground panting.

...It was a beautiful and slender white leg, set off against the bright pink curtain, it looked even more delicate and charming... Tian Rong thought of the previous scene, and felt the blood rushing to the top of his head... Then he pulled his leg again He ran wildly, ran all the way back to the inn, breathed calmly outside the door, and then went upstairs.

What Tian Rong didn't know was that the benefactor who he saw across from Qiao Niang's loft was not holding a woman in his arms, but a boy.The boy was twelve or thirteen years old, when he saw Tian Rong running away in fright after knocking over the wine cup, he covered his mouth and smiled, and even got an intimate kiss from the benefactor beside him.

It's also fortunate that Tian Rong didn't notice, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sleep last night...

Tossing and turning on the bed thinking about the sensual dogs and horses he saw with his own eyes, Tian Rong really wanted to confide in Gu Ao, but seeing Gu Ao with his back turned to him, sound asleep, he dared not open his mouth. Finally lay down.Chewing every piece of memory, it took Tian Rong a long time to fall asleep...

Tian Rong cherishes his experience very much, he thinks, it would be nice if Gu Ao went with him yesterday.

----

Going all the way like this, I finally arrived at Shanyun Academy.Gu Ao got out of the car, looked at the green bamboo surrounded by jagged rocks, surrounded by light mist, and could vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions of Yunshan Academy, as well as the gurgling mountain spring, he couldn't help sighing: "Magnificent forests and bamboos, clear streams and rapids. That’s how beautiful it is.”

Tian Rong yawned and got out of the car, but said: "You have never seen a more beautiful one."

Gu Ao stopped talking, took the letter from Mrs. Jian himself, walked to the door, and said: "I am entrusted by Mrs. Jian Pu to visit Shan Yunzi first. This is a letter of recommendation. Please trouble this young man. Brother will notify you on your behalf."

The servant guarding the gate was taking a nap, but upon hearing this, he opened his eyes a little, looked Gu Ao up and down, and said in his heart: "This kid is so arrogant, he wants to see the head of the courtyard when he speaks." Shan Yunzi "Can anyone see it? Even if you don't look at him as a young man, you can tell that he is not a rich man. Now those who come to Shanyun Academy to study are all sons of aristocratic families. Today is such a poor man." Boy, let me report it, and if I report it, I will be scolded for being ungrateful!"

So he closed his eyes and went to sleep again.It's no wonder that the guard servants don't know that Shan Yunzi's disciples, those who are famous in the secular world, are all officials.For example, Xun Yusheng, Jian Pu's senior brother, is now a celebrity in the eyes of the prefect of Jiangqu County, the magistrate of the shogunate in the county, and the wife of the chief son of the county magistrate.In Jiangqu County, everyone knew about him, but his younger brother Jian Pu, who was well-known among the scholars, was not known by such a gatekeeper.

It is also because Jian Pu has been away from the academy for too long, so he did not expect such a thing to happen.

Seeing that the gatekeeper ignored him, Gu Ao thought that he hadn't heard clearly, so he said again: "I am entrusted by my master Jian Pu to visit Shan Yunzi first. This is a letter of recommendation, please trouble this young man. Brother will notify you on your behalf."

Seeing that he was still reluctant, the gatekeeper waved his hand: "Go, go! This is not a place where you wait for the kid to talk nonsense."

Just as Gu Ao was about to retort, he saw the old servant of the Tian family who had sent them come up, holding a sling of money in his hand, and stuffed it into the gatekeeper's hand, "It's not a respect, I'm still bothering this little brother."

The janitor shook his hand, and the money fell to the ground. He sneered: "What are you doing?! If you don't leave, I'll be chased away!" Seeing his viciousness, the old servant of the Tian family retreated embarrassingly.

The gatekeeper said, "To show filial piety to my young master, is it worth a penny?"When it is to send a beggar!Those high-ranking and noble sons would give one, two or two taels casually, and they would be happy to take care of it; now this hanging of money is for insulting people!

Tian Rong watched from the side, seeing that Gu Ao and his "well-informed" old servant had hit a wall together, he also became anxious, and said: "If I knew this, I should have waited for Master to come together! The master is Shan Yunzi's student, if the student wants to see the teacher, can he still be stopped?"

He said this to the janitor, but the janitor had already determined that the three of them were powerless and shabby huts with no winks based on the money, and now he became more and more angry: "If you don't give it, you won't get it." Come in! Yunshan Academy, you can enter any cat or dog at that time?"

Gu Ao got a little angry, and said loudly: "Shanyun Academy recruits students from all over the world, and all students from all over the world can get in! How can I not get in!"

"You can't get in! If I say you can't get in, you can't get in!!" The gatekeeper's voice also became louder.

Gu Ao said angrily: "This is the purpose of Shanyun Academy, you can change it? Who are you? How dare you play tricks on the world's students?"

Seeing Gu Ao arguing with the janitor at the gate of Shanyun Academy so full of righteous indignation, the old servant of the Tian family and Tian Rong felt that it was inappropriate, but they had no other choice but to wait for Gu Ao on the sidelines.

At this moment, Xun Yusheng, the Prime Minister of Jiangqu County, happened to come in a sedan chair, and he was also planning to visit Shan Yunzi.From a distance, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of Shanyun Academy, and a young man was arguing with the gatekeeper at the gate, so Xun Yusheng asked people to stop the sedan chair.The gatekeeper also saw Xun Yusheng coming in a small sedan chair carried by two people, so he quickly stopped the dispute with Gu Ao, ran up to Xun Yusheng with Qian'er, and said, "Why is the magistrate here?"

Xun Yusheng was wearing an official uniform, and even the dark pattern on the collar embroidered with thousands of stitches, not to mention this brocade and satin dress, with a jade pendant around his waist, looked very stylish, and asked lightly when he saw this: "What is the matter with you?" people argue?"

Just as the gatekeeper was about to speak, Gu Ao took a step forward and saluted first: "My disciple was entrusted by Master Jian Pu to visit Shan Yunzi first. I have a letter of recommendation, but this gatekeeper blocked my way."

As soon as Xun Yusheng heard the name of his junior brother "Jian Pu", he immediately raised his hand and asked someone to put him off the sedan chair.He got up and smoothed his clothes, and replied solemnly: "Xun Yusheng, I am senior brother Jian Pu, I don't know my senior brother, how are you doing?"

Gu Ao said: "Master is very good. For more than six years in Mangdang Mountain, Master sighed to himself that in Guanhu Mountain, even his knowledge has improved." As he said, Gu Ao respectfully presented Jian Pu's letter to Xun Yusheng .

Xun Yusheng read the letter, and saw that in the letter, his junior brother praised a disciple called "Gu Ao" without hesitation to his teacher Shan Yunzi, and even said, "In my humble opinion, I will not lose to that senior brother Xun... ..." After reading the letter, Xun Yusheng looked the young man in front of him up and down again, and asked, "Are you Gu Ao?"

Gu Ao nodded: "The disciple is right."

Xun Yusheng laughed and said, "Who told you the phrase 'Shanyun Academy recruits students from all over the world, and all students from all over the world can get in'?"

Gu Ao said: "I think the world has been chaotic for many years, and most of the generals come from Shanyun Academy. If it is not for recruiting students from all over the world, how can this situation be achieved?"

When Xun Yusheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.I think this young man is interesting, but I'm afraid he doesn't know that Shanyun Academy is really not open to all students from all over the world.Shanyun Academy has always been only open to the children of aristocratic families. Those from poor families can only be admitted to the academy unless they have special talents and are recommended by a prestigious master in Shanyun Academy.

At that time, because I came from a poor family, I had gone through a lot of hardships and traveled thousands of miles in the literati circle, and only by chance could I get a glimpse of Shanyun Academy.Besides Jian Pu, the sons of several aristocratic families who were studying in the academy at the same time as me are now either serving as prefects in the local area or in charge of the army in the court. Only I have to commit myself to the shogunate because of my humble background.

However, when Gu Ao said that "all students in the world can enter", Xun Yusheng still had a good time. After laughing, he looked at Gu Ao carefully, and saw that although he was wearing coarse clothes, there was a heroic look in his expression Qi... Xun Yusheng thought in his heart, according to the standards of a poor family, the material is really good.However, compared to his disciple who came from a famous family, he was still far behind. His junior brother Jian Pu praised him too much in the letter.

"I wonder when the younger brother will come?" Xun Yusheng asked again.

"The date of return is unpredictable." Gu Ao replied.

Xun Yusheng was very happy to get the news that his junior brother would arrive within a limited time.

I think that when I was studying, only Jian Pu, who was the "Jian family of Liaoyang", had a eccentricity, and he got along with him, and the disciples of other aristocratic families didn't even bother to talk to him. After a long time, Xun Yusheng and Jian Pu became very close , Now that I haven't seen him for six years, Xun Yusheng really misses his junior brother, and now that he knows that he is coming, his heart is filled with excitement.This excitement was transferred by Xun Yusheng to Gu Ao, the disciple of the younger brother, before the younger brother arrived.At this time, Xun Yusheng took a step forward and took Gu Ao's hand, and said kindly to Gu Ao, "Come! Come with me!"

The gatekeeper saw that Jun Cheng valued the boy who was rejected by him just now, he couldn't help being dumbfounded for a moment, thinking: Did I offend the nobleman unintentionally?How good is this?Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the door, and stepped back respectfully. When he saw the old servant of Tian's family walking into the academy with Tian Rong following Gu Ao, he couldn't help but bend down and lift himself up just now. Picking up the sling of money that was knocked out by hand, he smiled flatteringly and said to Tian Rong: "Thank you for the reward, young master."

Tian Rong also smiled sweetly at him: "No thanks."

The janitor immediately felt cold sweat break out from behind him.
