On this day, Liao Quji rode his horse back to the county mansion with the guard of honor that came to welcome Master Qi from the Liao Mansion. Liao Yong had already waited outside, and when he saw Master Qi, he invited him into the mansion.The county prime minister, Xun Yusheng, also stood at the door waiting for Liao Quji.

"Master, why do you come in person?" Liao Quji jumped off the horse, handed the reins and whip to the servants, and walked up to his master Xun Yusheng with brisk steps.

Xun Yusheng patted Liao Quji on the shoulder and motioned him to come with him.Liao Quji nodded, followed Xun Yusheng's steps, passed through a corridor, and stepped into the garden of Liao's family. The garden was full of spring, and everyone was pleased. The newspaper said something happened in the Yizheng Hall? How is my junior brother?"

It turned out that not long after Liao Quji left that day, Xun Yusheng, the county magistrate who was in charge of county affairs, also received a report from Shanyun Academy.After hearing this, Xun Yusheng couldn't help being stunned... According to his thinking, although he wanted Liao Quji to compete with Gu Ao and make his junior brother willing to bow down, he didn't want his junior brother to be notorious... Now listening Hearing the rumors of the younger brother's "disciple" stealing jade, Xun Yusheng couldn't help worrying about his younger brother. According to the law, the aristocratic family told him that he would all be convicted.

Xun Yusheng was a little annoyed at how he didn't pay attention to details, let go of the ordinary inspection power, and didn't get the letter that his junior brother had returned to Shanyun Academy before he sent troops... If it really hurts his junior brother this time If you humiliate yourself and lose your reputation, you will be completely to blame. How can you see your junior in the future?

Liao Quji looked at Master Xun's anxious look, and said with a broad smile, "Master Jian didn't show up. When I went, it was Gu Ao who was arguing with Master Qi in the political hall. Master is very angry!"

When Xun Yusheng heard the words, he let out a long sigh of relief, and let go of his hanging heart into his arms.As Liao Quji said, Xun Yusheng thought about it for a while, and gradually realized that his younger brother didn't really regard the little boy who "stealed jade" as a disciple, and perhaps arranged another way out for him , so it was never mentioned in the recommendation letter that day.

It's just... Gu Ao is just a kid, how can he argue with the Patriarch of the Qi family in the Yizheng Hall?

Thinking of this, Xun Yusheng couldn't help asking again: "...Master Qi is so good-tempered that he even talked to a little boy? How did I hear that the Qi family regards money as their destiny the most, and they don't pay it unless they are expensive?"

Liao Quji thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps Gu Ao said, every word is heartbreaking, so Master Qi has to deal with it."

Xun Yusheng said strangely: "Tell me about today's situation in detail."

Liao Quji glanced at his master, and sighed in his heart: "Master, have you not let go of the idea of ​​comparing me with Gu Ao?"But I didn't have any interest at all, I saw him, he was so reckless even in front of the sword today, it seems that the poem written that day was not aimed at me alone.Thinking about it this way, he was born in the mountains, grew up in a poor family, and his roots have not yet developed... Such a person can only praise the simplicity, how can he compare with me?Besides, now that I have subdued him, why should I spend my thoughts on him? '

But seeing Master Xun's serious face, Liao Quji still told the story of today's incident in the spirit of respecting teachers and valuing education.

When it was said that Shan Yunzi appeared in the Yizheng Hall and called Gu Ao his closed disciple, Xun Yusheng couldn't help sighing unwillingly: "Oh...why did the teacher accept Gu Ao?... How can he compare with him?" on you?"

Liao Quji glanced at the teacher, finally exhausted his patience, and smiled slightly in his heart.

His teachers are all first-class in learning and reading, but unfortunately, the innate problems brought about by people from poor families are some ignorance of the world in their bones. This is the case with Gu Ao, and the same is true for Master Xun. Even the world can be leveled... Gu Ao can be regarded so highly by these pedantic "scholars", it is not difficult for him to guess, it is nothing more than a good interpretation of the scriptures, and he is born with a so-called "ancient style" that does not know how to adapt ', so that those scholars who got into the text all regarded Gu Ao as a character.

In fact, if we really talk about heroes who are powerful in all directions, the most basic thing is that they have a wide range of friends, right?It's a pity that Gu Ao can't even do this, if he really becomes famous in the future, it will only be among scholars, nothing to worry about.If there is an opportunity, it can even be used by the Liao family.

Liao Quji really didn't know what his master was lamenting. Seeing what Xun Yusheng said, Liao Quji smiled and said: "Mr. Shan Yunzi said that at the time, maybe he meant to check and balance me. If he didn't say that What if I really ordered Gu Ao to be captured, and the promise of 'soldiers will not go to Shanyun Academy' would be broken, so what should I do? Gu Ao was able to do this because he took advantage of me."

"Oh...you don't understand...that's not what being a teacher means." Xun Yusheng shook his head sighingly.

What Xun Yusheng thought in his mind was how the teacher, Shan Yunzi, had such astute eyes. During the "Eight Kings Rebellion", he could know the rise and fall of the world from a distance without leaving the mountain... King Qin led his army to fight fiercely with King Cheng's army, and King Qin left the army and left. In front of the gate of Lema Shanyun Academy, he bowed his head and waited outside Shan Yunzi's bamboo house for three days and three nights before finally seeing him... It is said that Shan Yunzi only said three words to King Qin, who went out to mount his horse and join the army In the middle of the world, the world was pacified soon-isn't this the wisdom of living in the mountains and overlooking the world?Now that Shan Yunzi accepted Gu Ao as his disciple, he must have thought about it.Could it be that Gu Ao really had something extraordinary that he hadn't noticed?

No wonder Xun Yusheng was surprised, even Liao Quji was surprised when he knew that Shan Yunzi had Gu Ao in his sect at first, but after thinking about it later, he understood.Since Shan Yunzi "Bingwei Academy" that year, he has been a little depressed, and taught his youngest son Yunying to be unsophisticated and willful. Since then, he has not accepted a single disciple.

Now that Shan Yunzi accepts Gu Ao, he may not have no intention of demonstrating to the aristocratic family, especially the Liao family who occupies Jiangqu County.Thinking of this, Liao Quji felt relieved, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Accompanying Xun Yusheng to walk in the garden of the mansion, the spring is full of flowers, and the colorful butterflies are flying. Liao Quji looked at the beautiful scenery, and the grandeur in his heart was even stronger. He comforted Master Xun and said: "Master, the academy is just a signboard. , will not let you down."

Seeing his disciple's complacent appearance, Xun Yusheng couldn't help smiling wryly.Liao Quji is good at everything, but he is too lonely in his heart. This kind of aloofness can't be seen normally, but is hidden by his elegant and graceful demeanor.But every time it came to such a juncture that needed his attention, he was always careless.

When Liao Quji was still young, why didn't I want to teach him to let go of his simple heart for a moment, so that in the future, the world will be full of chaos, so that he can watch the changing situation quietly, but those who serve Liao Quji around from Xiaohuan are either flatterers or flatterers. Those who admire and admire, who has ever warned Liao Quji?

Now that Gu Ao was accepted by Shan Yunzi, Xun Yusheng became even more uneasy.He even vaguely had this idea: Liao Quji was recommended by me first, but now his younger brother came later, but Teacher Shan Yunzi accepted Gu Ao instead of Liao Quji. It seems that I lost to Junior brother.I just don't know, if the world changes in the future, where will these two people go?

Seeing Master Xun's gloomy look, Liao Quji couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "My Liao family has more than [-] members, and there are three counties of Jiangqu, Yingchuan, and Hejian. Master, why worry?"

Xun Yusheng shook his head, rolled his sleeves behind his hands, and walked away, saying, "Worriless? Worry-free? It's worry!"

----

Here, Gu Ao took Tian Rong to worship his teacher, went back to the house and settled Tian Rong, had dinner together, and went to the bamboo house where Jian Pu lived to report a reply.Seeing that Mrs. Jian was arranging the books, Gu Ao also helped out, and arranged all the bamboo slips in an orderly manner according to the titles of the books.

As the sun was setting that day, Jian Pu saw that everything had been packed, and he finally had some free time, and since he hadn’t gone down the mountain for a long time, he couldn’t help but send out invitations to several masters who were teaching in Shanyun Academy, inviting them to come to meet poetry. Drinking and playing chess.

Gu Ao saw that Mrs. Jian did not need to accompany him, so he said goodbye to Mrs. Jian in front of the door, turned around a few green and secluded pillars, detoured a winding path, and came to Yunying's house.

Gu Ao knocked on the door and said, "Young Master Yun, it's me."

There were rustling noises in the house, and after a long while, the door in front of him was opened, and there was a boy with braided horns and dressed in green clothes who opened the door, the boy blinked, saw Gu Ao, and raised his head He handed Gu Ao a brocade handkerchief.

Gu Ao was startled when he took it, but he recognized that it was Yunying's handkerchief.Where he used to carry water on the mountainside, Yunhang often used this handkerchief to wipe his sweat.A tall swan flying alone is embroidered on it, which has the meaning of Qingyuan. Gu Ao was deeply impressed, so he recognized it at a glance.

In the fading evening light, Gu Ao unfolded the brocade handkerchief, and saw a line of words written on it, "I'm sorry for my friend's voice", and the signature was Yunxi. The little boy said, "Bring a pen."

The little boy nodded, turned back and entered the house, and soon brought out the four treasures of the study, Gu Ao spread out the brocade handkerchief, sat down in front of the bamboo table and bamboo chair in front of the open space, and wrote on the brocade handkerchief on that side with a pen Below, the title said: "Konggu Zuyin, why don't you be happy?"

Putting it on his lips to dry the ink, Gu Ao returned the brocade handkerchief to the little boy, and the boy entered the room again with the brocade handkerchief, and came out after a while, saying: "Mr. Yun invites you in."

Gu Ao was invited into Yunying's bamboo house, and as soon as he entered, he saw that Yunying had already prepared a feast of food and wine, and Yunying was holding the brocade handkerchief he had just written in his hand, and he raised his eyes and smiled when he heard the sound of the door Said: "Brother Gu, are you not angry with me?"

Gu Ao said: "I was reckless, how could I blame Mr. Yun?"

Yun Ang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then please sit down quickly..."

Gu Ao nodded and sat down as he said.

Seeing that Gu Ao was sitting across from him with his robe pulled up across a small table, Yun Ang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to pour wine for Gu Ao.The wine cup was not placed stably, Yun Ang accidentally knocked over the cup while he was in a hurry, Gu Ao hurriedly bent over to pick it up, held it in his palm, Yun Ang fell down again, and then filled the cup slowly.

In fact, it's not surprising that Yunying is like this, since he was a child, he has never invited anyone to dinner, let alone poured wine.

Before, Yun Ang was deeply worried that Gu Ao did not forgive him, so he used a poem to test it...Seeing that Gu Ao wrote the words so readily to answer, he said very kindly, "Kongu Zuyin, why don't you be happy", Yun Ang Only then did he know that he didn't take his previous misunderstandings to heart, so he showed his face.
