It's raining heavily today.
The corner of the school building at the foot of Nangong Mountain is relatively low. After a heavy rain, the entire school building was almost flooded with rainwater. Yan Jiaqing was very annoyed and suffered from the lack of Huanglong accompanying him, so he had no choice but to resort to this method. He rolled up the corners of his gown, took off his shoes, and went out barefoot, using a pot and ladle to scoop out the accumulated water around the school. He also had to be careful of the rain that had not faded away from outside so as not to pour in again. He went to the vegetable field and moved a lot of water by himself. Square stones, wrapped in thatch, barely shielded.
Yan Jiaqing's temperament has always been to be alone, and he rarely cares about the lives of others. However, this time the school was flooded by rain, but he did not leave even two or three students behind, but asked these students to return home first. , stayed in the school by himself, struggling to scoop out water. He was originally a scholar who had no strength in his hands. Even if he exerted all his strength, he might not be able to compare with those strong men. Now, because he is getting older, his strength has become weaker. After hard work, he has already broken down. My wet clothes were mostly wet from rain or hot sweat, and I often had to rest for a while. There was knee-deep water in the classroom, and even after working for a long time, it didn't necessarily subside much.
Fortunately, after all the children and teenagers returned home, they all talked about the matter with their families. Within half an hour, dozens of men came over with their own water basins and buckets. It didn’t take much effort. , even after scooping out all the water in the entire school, he still did not leave. Instead, he picked up his son's clothes, surrounded Yan Jiaqing, and asked his husband to tell him how his son's studies were doing recently.
Yan Jiaqing did not bother to put on clean clothes, and told the truth to the men with unkind expressions one by one. Among them, the students who had excellent academic performance and were very serious in their studies naturally survived, and returned home in a fashion that could be praised by their parents. After a while, it is just a pain for those children who are serious about playing. They know that they can't escape, but they have to stand here and listen to the teacher's comments. They will inevitably suffer physical pain later.
But Yan Jiaqing was already very good at speaking. When he spoke, he must have downplayed things like being too playful and being lazy in schoolwork. Instead, he brought up the areas where children are born to be better than others and talked about it with those men. Those who are not very smart or even a little dull will naturally not be able to compare with those children who are talented and intelligent. They say that these children are responsible and have a single-minded mind. Even if they are not academically capable now, they may not be able to achieve much when they enlighten themselves someday. On the contrary, many officials in the imperial court who have been called mediocre from ancient times to the present are also the pillars of the country, so don't worry; children who are smart but not studious will be said to be smart. One day, if they know how to work hard, they will know the book. There are countless good things, so naturally you can catch up and not fall far behind in your studies.
It's not that Yan Jiaqing doesn't want to speak too bluntly, but that many parents of children are unwilling to let their children come to school at first, not to mention that if the children clearly don't like to learn those sages' articles, I'm afraid there will be consequences. Many people had the intention of quitting, but it was better to say that sons, especially girls, in the eyes of these villagers, there was probably no need to learn, so they were not very happy at first, but Yan Jiaqing couldn't bear to visit him several times. , the argument was speechless, and this was the only way to reluctantly agree. In this way, even if the child may not be a good candidate for learning, Yan Jiaqing's words will never be too harsh. As time goes by, many people in the village find that their son is much more sensible than before, and they are willing to send him to school. , even if I know that I can get fame and salary in the future, I still feel very good.
After spending half a day talking, Yan Jiaqing rarely sent these men away. Judging by the postures of these children, after they returned home, they were probably able to escape the beating. Then he was satisfied and changed into a long gown, washed his hair on the temples, and took out the altar. Huangjiu, who was not very good-looking but quite old, sat alone in the classroom, lit the fire, and quietly warmed the wine.
Living in a radius of only two or three miles from Nangong Mountain for several years, Wu Shuang's temperament is elusive, but in Yan Jiaqing's view, although this man is a swordsman, he also knows some leisurely fun, even if it has nothing to do with elegance. But he also knows how to have fun, and I have seen those practitioners who look like ascetic monks, not necessarily lay people on the same boat.
A jar of old warm yellow rice wine is the best way to lure immortals down the mountain.
So the wine had just started to get a little warm, and Yan Jiaqing leaned back on the wicker chair and couldn't help laughing.
"How can a gentleman be drenched in water? How rude." Wu Shuang, who sat down across the table, had never been one who was willing to suffer losses. Before the person in front of him could say anything, he teased, "Originally, I was I thought Yan Jiaqing was an ordinary gentleman, but I didn't expect that he could scoop water by himself to avoid flooding the school. If I had to do it myself, I would rather wait until the rain stops to make plans, so that I can rest for a while."
"Enough talk. When Wen Yu left a few days ago, you, Wu Shuang, had very steady feet and never went down the mountain. But now you are going down the mountain because of a jar of rice wine. In terms of manners and conduct, you are better." Yan Jiaqing He scoffed, looking at Wu Shuang with a half-smile but not a smile.
The latter was speechless and put the back of his hand on the jar of rice wine. He still felt that the heat was not enough, so he retracted his hand angrily.
But Yan Jiaqing was unyielding and looked at Qingyi Wu Shuang, "Since ancient times, there has been a difference between closeness and distance. I originally thought that brothers are brothers, but now it seems that I can't escape these words. It's really helpless."
Wu Shuang still didn't say anything, poured out a bowl of boiled wine, sniffed it slightly, and swallowed two mouthfuls.
"Mr. Yan wants to ask if Wen Yu's behavior will change if he is replaced by Yun Zhong. Either he will stop him when he goes down the mountain, or he will help until I can uproot the Xu Meng Mansion with my cultivation. , is to fulfill the master’s duty, and that’s right.”
"If everyone from poor families in the world can do their best, and dozens of people from the mountain school can set foot in the court in the future, Mr. Yan, as a teacher, will probably have to follow him to the capital to teach the students one by one. How to work as an official?"
Wu Shuang smiled bitterly and pointed at Yan Jiaqing, who looked slightly relieved in front of him, and then at himself, "Youdao is the master who brings you in to practice Taoism. He has stood up for Mr. Yun again and again. In fact, it is the duty of a master, but always This can't continue like this for a long time. This guy Yunzhong has a very bad temper towards me, but Wen Yu is my descendant in Nangong Mountain no matter what. I have always been the most protective of the calf, and my apprentice was beaten when he was angry outside. Fighting, I wish I could take charge of it all, but if this goes on for a long time, how can I practice it?"
"So in the future, if someone of the same generation bullies a disciple of his own, even if it is unbearable, he will have to endure it, unless the older generation relies on his seniority in cultivation to bully the disciples of Nangong Mountain before taking action." Wu Shuang finished drinking. I added another bowl of rice wine and drank it all in one gulp. Then I raised my head and looked at Yan Jiaqing calmly, "You said that most of the children in this village are now in school. What the children want, or what these children want, is What do your parents and family want?"
Most people who are familiar with Wu Shuang know that he was addicted to alcohol when he was young, but in addition, many people also know that when Wu Shuang was swollen and shy, he was a boss who was often greedy for gain. But if he had enough wealth, He is a very particular gourmand. He does not necessarily follow the saying that he never tires of fine food, but he knows the taste of wine. Once the rice wine is warm, it is probably not necessary to drink it all in one gulp. It is necessary to taste the taste of ginger, dried dates and dates in the wine before it is delicious. But at this moment, Wu Shuang had no such intention and drank it all in one gulp.
Even Yan Jiaqing, who had been reluctant to think about it recently, could clearly see that Wu Shuang was depressed and depressed at the moment, so he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he had to answer first.
"The purpose is to be able to carry knowledge into one's arms, so that even if one fails to learn it, one can still know etiquette, justice and integrity."
"The same is true in Nangong Mountain. We must avoid being vulgar. Even if the disciple does not think so, I, as the master, must not become a stumbling block in his martial arts. Children in the village come here either for learning or for knowledge. Etiquette, justice and integrity, I know from the books that there is a huge world beyond these rolling mountains, but it is not for the sake of having a drunkard gentleman tied behind my back when I leave school in the future."
"You almost got in." Yan Jiaqing suddenly came to his senses and slapped the table, "Then why is Yan Qiye not considered a person who relies on his elders and sells his elders? If he borrows Wen Yu for ten years, he may not be able to achieve the fourth or fifth position. However, with such a young age, how can he defeat Yan Qiye? Besides, the Xumeng Mansion is now in the limelight, and many practicing sects who suffer from its power have to become minions. , How can Wen Yu succeed on his own?"
The rain outside became more urgent.
Wu Shuang was surprisingly calm.
"I made the same choice back then. Many of my old friends in the world also advised me that the Five Absolutes were so powerful that I shouldn't try to use my hands as a chariot. But I didn't listen. That's why these Five Realms were delayed by a full ten years. Year. The path is chosen by oneself. What I learned in Nangong Mountain is not just cultivation. It cannot be said to know the world, but at least I have to understand myself. The cultivation level of the three realms is neither high nor low. Is it possible to win? Xumeng Mansion and Yan Qiye, Wen Yu should be aware of it, but they still insist on going their own way, even if I insist on going my own way to stop them and imprison them in Nangong Mountain, what's the use."
As for the right and wrong of what Wu Shuang said, Yan Jiaqing could clearly hear it. Even a literati like him, who was always sharp-tongued and good at eloquence, found it difficult to argue. When pressed, he had to say, "Then what if it's Wen Yu before If anything unexpected happens when you go to Dayuan, can you, Wu Shuang, really sit on the top of Nangong Mountain with peace of mind and let the wind come from all directions without moving?"
Wu Shuang put down the wine bowl and took a look at the top of Nangong Mountain. Her features became duller. She picked up the bowl and took two sips of rice wine along the edge of the bowl.
"It seems that Mr. Yan has forgotten that Huanglong is no longer with him. Besides, since he is a disciple of Nangong Mountain, if his life is really in danger, can he really ignore it?"
"Besides, it's not like I didn't leave any backup plans."
The mighty sword energy penetrated straight out of the sky, scattering the heavy rain.
