Li Xianyuan is over forty years old, but he still has a handsome face with a fair face and no beard.
Pei Yuxian turned around and asked in surprise: "Why not?"
Li Xianyuan walked to the railing and looked towards the eastern suburbs, where a faint glow of fire could be seen.
"There is someone more suitable than him." Li Xianyuan said.
"Who?" Pei Yuxian was curious.
Li Xianyuan said: "What the name is, I'm not sure yet, but the person's surname must be Chen."
"The surname is Chen?" Pei Yuxian was stunned and became even more curious, "Why?"
Li Xianyuan asked, "What's the surname of the first dean of Zhuque Academy?"
"Zhao." Pei Yuxian answered directly without thinking.
She is a disciple of the inner courtyard of Suzaku Academy and knows the history of the academy very well.
"Second generation?" Li Xianyuan continued to ask.
Pei Yuxian said: "Money."
"Third Generation?"
"Sun."
"Fourth Generation?"
"plum…"
Speaking of this, Pei Yuxian was startled.
"Zhao Qian and Sun Li, Zhou Wu and King Zheng." Li Xianyuan said lightly, "Plus the contemporary Dean Feng, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Pei Yuxian was stunned.
Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, King Zheng, Feng, Chen, Chuwei... This is the ranking of hundreds of family surnames that have been passed down since ancient times.
"How could this happen?" Pei Yuxian was surprised.
Pei Yiren said softly: "Before I came to Chang'an City, I heard a rumor that the presidents of Suzaku Academy have always been the same person."
"The same person?" Pei Yuxian opened his eyes wide.
"Perhaps this is not a rumor." Li Xianyuan whispered, "In a secret place in the palace, there are portraits of past deans. I have seen them once, and they all have at least seven-point portraits."
Pei Yiren glanced at Li Xianyuan, "What did you tell Xiao Xian'er to do?"
Pei Yuxian, who was still surprised, came back to his senses and looked at Li Xianyuan.
She didn't like her brother-in-law very much, and they rarely talked to each other.
Li Xianyuan said: "Don't think too highly of him. The one who can stand out in this exam will definitely have the surname Chen."
He, of course, was referring to Chu Xiu.
Pei Yuxian frowned. In fact, she didn't think she thought highly of Chu Xiu.
In her eyes, Chu Xiu looked less like a Jianghu person and more like a scholar.
"You are just guessing." Pei Yuxian said calmly.
Li Xianyuan smiled lightly and said: "If I had evidence, I'm afraid I would be speechless at this moment."
"What your brother-in-law wants to say is that Chu Xiu is unable to solve the problem between you and Zuo Chong." Pei Yiren said softly.
Pei Yuxian said in a dull voice: "You are overthinking. Zuo Chong will stay with Chu Xiu temporarily just because Chu Xiu has a Vermillion Bird Token in his hand, and it was given to him by Dean Feng."
"The Vermilion Bird Order given by Dean Feng?" Li Xianyuan and Pei Yi were both startled.
"This is interesting." Li Xianyuan whispered.
…
The night is destined to be unquiet.
It was already late at night when Chu Xiu, Zuo Chong, the landlady, and the "cold-faced man" returned to the Chang Lai Inn.
"You won the bet and may have become famous throughout Chang'an City, but not many people know that you have a Vermillion Bird Token." The landlady said helplessly.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "For the time being, this is enough."
"That's right, the Fourth Gentlemen are here. I hope the Bird Guards don't dare to mess around anymore." Zuo Chong nodded and analyzed, "I guess next, they will sow discord and let the geniuses gathered in Chang'an City, Deal with Mr. Chu."
Chu Xiu shook the invitation in his hand and said leisurely: "The stage has been set up, just waiting for me to go up and sing."
The 'cold-faced man' looked at the invitation in Chu Xiu's hand and hesitated: "Can you... do it?"
The guests invited to the banquet held by Tianji Pavilion must all be talented people.
Chu Xiu smiled calmly, and while climbing the stairs, he said leisurely: "Men, you can't say no."
Zuo Chong also joked: "Men really can't say no, Boss Zhu should know better than us."
After saying that, he followed Chu Xiu.
The 'cold-faced man' and the landlady looked at each other.
"What do you mean?" The landlady looked confused, a little confused and didn't understand.
"They are all bastards, ignore them." The 'cold-faced man' cursed, with some redness on his stern cheeks.
She understood.
Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
On a high pavilion.
"Master."
Zhao Wangsun shouted respectfully.
In front of him, Dean Feng was sitting on a recliner, looking at the drawings leisurely.
"He is indeed a talent." Dean Feng praised him.
Zhao Wangsun hesitated and said: "I heard that you gave him a Vermillion Bird Token."
Dean Feng nodded.
"What aspect of him is Master most optimistic about?" Zhao Wangsun was curious.
Dean Feng smiled and said, "Guess."
Zhao Wangsun straightened up. If someone else had asked him to guess, he might have just swung it with a hammer.
The person in front of me is Master, so I can only make an honest guess.
"Medical skills, mechanism techniques, or poison techniques." Zhao Wangsun muttered. He knew that Chu Xiu had defeated Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao, and also had a cold poison in his body that was difficult to get rid of, which corresponded to medical skills, mechanism techniques, and poison techniques respectively. Poison technique.
Dean Feng shook his head.
Zhao Wangsun was startled, then hesitantly asked: "Is it really the art of brewing wine?"
Dean Feng shook his head again.
"It can't be swordsmanship, right?" Zhao Wangsun hesitated. He remembered that Chu Xiu had always had a sword hanging on his waist.
"Do you know who is the most popular woman in Chang'an City recently?" Dean Feng asked.
"The most popular woman? Pei Yiren." Zhao Wangsun said thoughtfully.
Dean Feng shook his head, "She is already very low-key."
"That's her sister Pei Yuxian." Zhao Wangsun said again.
Dean Feng said angrily: "Why are you just staring at other sisters like your second senior brother?"
Zhao Wangsun's face turned red and he quickly shook his head and said, "Second Senior Brother and I are not the same at all. I don't like women."
"Oh, you like men?" Dean Feng raised his eyebrows and teased.
Zhao Wangsun chuckled and said: "I don't mind this kind of joke."
Dean Feng shook his head. This fourth disciple had no interest in men and women at all. All he could think about was forging.
"Literary talent." Dean Feng didn't sell it anymore.
"What?" Zhao Wangsun didn't react for a moment.
Dean Feng said leisurely: "Nowadays, the most popular woman in Chang'an City is Xiang Jun from Hongxiu Tower."
"Xiangjun?" Zhao Wangsun looked at a loss and had never heard of it at all.
"Chu Xiu wrote a poem for her that can be sung for at least a hundred years." Dean Feng continued.
"A poem..." A flash of enlightenment flashed in Zhao Wangsun's eyes, and the Confucian robe Chu Xiu was wearing appeared in his mind.
"It turns out to be literary talent."
Zhao Wangsun sighed with emotion and said with a smile, "If you put it this way, this kid is still an all-rounder."
Dean Feng nodded, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time."
Zhao Wangsun glanced at Dean Feng and said, "How about... you will be late for another four years?"
Dean Feng sat up straight, with a look of pride on his face, "You, master, respect me. My martial arts is recognized as the best in the Nineteen States. Swordsmanship, knife skills, spear skills, boxing skills, palm skills, finger skills... and even martial arts are the best." In everything, I am recognized as number one in the nineteen states.
In the past two thousand years, I have been the best in the nineteen states in astronomy, geography, five elements, Bagua, Qimen, Dunjia, even music, chess, calligraphy and painting, farmland water conservancy, economics and military art... in all aspects.
Only in Wenzhidao, I have never been able to reach the top.
To be precise, I have neglected this aspect in the past few years.
With my current literary talent, I think it is more than enough for me to be the number one in the Nineteen States. "
"..."
