Song Mu and Song Liangda chatted, finished drinking the pot of tea, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Song Liangda slept comfortably that night, feeling that the burden on his heart had been lifted, and every day in the future would be very light.
Song Mu was lying in his room thinking for a long time, stroking two pieces of cultural tourmaline in his hands. At this moment, he felt even more heavy with the mission he shouldered.
Perhaps this is because with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
Song Mu comforted himself in his heart, put away his things, and fell asleep.
The next day, Song Mu got up early and helped with some things at home. After breakfast, he got up and went out, heading straight for the county school.
Although Song Mu's study at the county school has ended now, he was used to going to the county school when he left home, so Song Mu walked quickly.
Before reaching the gate of the county school, Song Mu could see the log pavilion on the roof on the side of the county school from a distance. It seemed that painting had begun today and the final work was being done.
Master Xun gave the scholars and children a three-day holiday, and they are all at home now.
So now Song Mu came to the county school. Although there were many scholars here, most of them were Confucian scholars who had not yet passed the Tongsheng examination.
When Song Mu came in, there was no one at the gate of the county school. When he walked into the courtyard, he met an old acquaintance.
That is Qi Dazuo, the second son of the Qi family.
The other party was wearing a blue satin robe today. He was talking to a few Confucian scholars in the courtyard. His eyes caught sight of Song Mu entering the door. He turned around and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Song Mu watched the other party slowly walking towards him, and then he took out a pink satin fan from nowhere and showed it in front of Song Mu. He held it in front of him in a decent manner.
Song Mu responded quickly, and the other party spoke in a pinched voice.
"It turned out to be Mr. Song, the head of the case. I haven't seen him for many days. Now he is even more high-spirited."
Song Mu was confused when he heard what the other party said, but one of the other party's followers had already come up to pull him away. Qi Dashuo still had a somewhat indifferent expression on his face. He looked at Song Mu and then suddenly spoke.
"Although Brother Song is now a scholar, I have some news. I think it would be best for Brother Song to know."
Although Qi Dazuo looked somewhat respectful on the face, there was still some yin and yang in his tone.
"My eldest brother is back from Chang'an now. He will report to the county school tomorrow and become the deputy principal of our county school. You will also be called master by then."
Song Mu thought the other party was going to say something, and there was a strange expression on his face.
What does his elder brother's position as an associate student have to do with him? After a while, he went to the government to study. This Qi masterpiece is still so unlearned and unskilled...
However, when Qi Dazuo saw Song Mu's expression, he thought that Song Mu was indifferent. He put away his fan as if he had stepped on a dog's tail, then puffed out his chest and spoke rather arrogantly.
"I made it clear to you today. From now on, we will reciprocate politely. Don't gossip about me. We will also be friends. Brother Song, what do you think?"
Song Mu didn't know for a moment whether Qi Dazuo was blackmailing him or wooing him. At this moment, he just felt that the other party's words were a bit baffling.
After looking around, Song Mu still smiled and cupped his hands, ignored the other party, and walked away directly.
Qi Dazuo was about to catch up, but he was stopped by the people next to him. At this moment, one of the Confucian scholars hurriedly spoke to Qi Dazuo.
"Brother, it's useless for you to tell him this. He is the head of the case. You forgot, the top ten in the college examination can study in the government."
"Yes, he will study in Fucheng from now on."
Qi Dazuo seemed to suddenly realize what he said. His face was filled with disbelief and a bit of embarrassment.
Seeing the people around him looking at him with laughter, Qi Dazuo's face suddenly became gloomy.
Then he drove everyone away angrily, and even murmured angrily.
"It doesn't matter if you go to the government to study. I can still study in the government next time."
Qi Dazhuo was muttering in the courtyard, while Song Mu came all the way to the attic of the county school.
There were many craftsmen busy here, mostly doing elaborate work. Song Mu stopped here for a while, and then a figure walked forward.
It was Master Xun.
"Master."
When Song Mu saw Master Xun, he quickly handed over his hand, but Master Xun waved his hand, then leaned on his waist and looked at the attic in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"Song Mu, why did you come to the county to study today? The family must be very busy these two days, right?"
Song Mu nodded: "The students got up early, so they also wanted to come to the county school to have a look."
Saying this, Song Mu remembered what Qi Dazuo had just said, and he spoke at the same time.
"Master, do we want a deputy principal in our county school?"
After hearing this, Master Xun glanced at Song Mu, then turned to look at the attic in front of him and nodded.
"Yes, the eldest son of the Qi family, he came back from Chang'an a few days ago. His old man did not know how he got this job done for him. I just received the letter."
Saying this, Master Xun shook his head, the expression on his face looked very embarrassed.
"The eldest son of the Qi family is only three years old now, but he was also a famous figure in our Shiyang County at the beginning. Originally, his old man expected that he would become a Jinshi this year, and then he would also go out to be the county magistrate, and lead the Qi family to update Go up a floor.”
"But it seems that the glamorous world is a young man with considerable talent. He has only been out for a year. Not only has he not achieved fame, but he has also been injured by drinking and sex."
"And the tamed beast I bought from nowhere. I heard that Mr. Qi is still drinking medicine."
Song Mu didn't expect that Master Xun would actually talk to him about the internal cause of this incident. At this moment, his face was still full of emotion and helplessness.
Song Mu raised his head and caught Master Xun's gaze.
"Song Mu, it is shameful to be arrogant and extravagant. You are now the head of the case, and there are many people watching. You must be careful in your words and deeds, and study hard. Do you understand?"
Master Xun used this incident to sound the alarm to Song Mu. Song Mu felt bright and respectfully handed over his hand.
"Students take note."
Master Xun nodded, patted his sleeves, and changed the topic.
"It is said that this attic has been completed. The county magistrate named it Jingzhen Pavilion, which means to encourage scholars to study hard."
Song Mu was stunned when he heard this name, and for no reason he thought of the "Dian Zhen Tower" built by later poet Xin Qiji in Chuzhou. Although Jing Zhen and Dian Zhen both have the word "Push", their meanings are completely different.
One is to encourage scholars to study hard, and the other is to show that people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, the construction of pavilions and pavilions since ancient times has many meanings. I only hope that more people can remember this meaning and work hard for it.
"Come on, let's go up to the attic and take a look. The wall where you write lyrics has been reserved for you."
With that said, Master Xun stepped forward. Song Mu was also moved when he heard this, and followed him up to the attic.
This attic that was built in January now exudes a strong woody fragrance. It is still being carved inside and is a little messy, but it already has a nice view.
Song Mu climbed up to the attic, and the four panes faced the city. The so-called climbing up to look far away, compared to the day when Song Mu climbed up to the roof of the county school, the place now seemed more open and magnificent. ,
With just one glance, you can see the world in front of you and the mountains and rivers in the distance. It is really beautiful.
"This scenery will definitely become a famous place on the Gan River in the future."
Master Xun also stood in front of the window pane and looked out, sighing from the bottom of his heart.
