In the dim courtyard, twilight falls heavily.
The servants had already hung up lanterns, reflecting the darkness of the night, and they were hiding in the corners in groups, exchanging positions.
Su Yan passed by this place and couldn't help but grab the carved pillars and secretly listened back to the corner. They were talking about Zuo Qing's return to Beijing.
Only a short man could be heard saying: "The Lord in Charge is the adopted son of Master Tai Mo, the Minister of Finance. He is spoiled even more than his own son. Come back this time, Master Mo has already prepared a banquet, and we will welcome him tomorrow." Woolen cloth!"
The man who looked like twelve or thirteen years old continued: "I heard that Lord Mo is obsessed with weapons. This time I went to Zhao State to find the weapon manual that disappeared among the Six Kingdoms for Lord Mo. By the way, this weapon manual records All the weapons that can be ranked in the world from ancient times to the present, such as bows, crossbows, knives, swords, axes, whips, and maces, there is a saying in the world: He who has the weapon record will win the world!"
The short man said disapprovingly: "Anything that can be obtained in the world is bullshit! It's just a book that records ordinary weapons."
"Hey, you must be ignorant! The weapons genealogy originated from Jianghu. At first, it was just a secret book recording the weapons of various sects. Later, it flowed into the Zhao State military camp and added formations, military techniques, and tactics. Finally, it became a family heirloom of the Xuan clan. The treasure can be said to be the culmination of the world and the strengths of hundreds of families. More than ten years ago, the wife of the commander of the Xuan clan relied on it to establish the Weapons Villa, and together it established an unshakable position in the Six Kingdoms. The Xuan clan also He was invincible on the battlefield and became a legend!”
She gave a long speech in a decent manner, but the short man made a gesture of silencing her in fear: "Speak softly, be careful that the walls have ears."
She said disdainfully: "It's late at night, and the only person across the wall is Mr. Ge. I heard Sister Heshuang say that she never cares about the servants' work, let alone an outsider like me."
Su Yan tiptoed away, thinking: I had heard about the Xuan family before, but it was so long ago that I no longer remember the details. I don’t know how many fabrications were mixed in what the servants said, but the so-called weapons spectrum seems to be that way.
Weapons spectrum…
Is there really such a strange book that can shake the Six Kingdoms? It's really weird.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't see the road in front of her clearly, so she stepped in the air. Fortunately, someone grabbed her and pulled her back.
As he tugged and pulled, Su Yan clearly saw the panicked expressions of the two servants behind him, and they all knelt down with a plop, "Mr. Ge, Mr. Su, I know you are wrong!"
Fo Zhen asked the short man with a cold face: "I've never seen you before. Where do you work as an errand?"
Both of them were frightened, and the short one replied: "Sister Heshuang is sick, and I will take care of her overnight... slave... I don't know how high the sky is, please forgive me, Mr. Ge!"
He Shuang is the kitchen maid of Lanshan Courtyard. Su Yan has never seen her before.
Fo Zhen said: "From now on, Heshuang doesn't need to stay in Lanshan Courtyard, and you don't need to stay either. Let's go together."
"Mr. Ge..." The slave girl became even more anxious when she heard that her good sister was going to be assigned another arrangement because of her talkativeness.
Su Yan held Fo Zhen's arm and begged for mercy on her behalf.
"Since He Shuang is her sister, he knows her temperament, but he still lets her come to Lanshan Court to talk nonsense and dare to talk about the taboos of the imperial court!" Fo Zhen looked serious and said in a cold tone: "If we don't punish her severely at this time, I will Bad habits have become common, and I am afraid that everyone in the academy will think that my ruined academy has no rules. If any rumors spread outside one day, the first thing people will think of is my fault. "
Su Yan sighed slightly. What Fo Zhen said was reasonable. Whether it was a big deal or a small matter, he seemed to have no reason to insist on it.
Just as he said that, Fo Zhen turned around and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he stopped, turned around and said, "I have prepared a place for you. It's right opposite my door. Go and have a look."
Su Yan hurriedly followed, "Then we can visit from time to time to chat and eat?"
Fo Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to do on weekdays. If you want to come over, just come over."
Su Yan knew in his heart that no matter how close he was to her, there were many obstacles and he couldn't get into his heart. However, it was good like this now. He didn't need to explain his identity and past, and they were both fine.
Later, Su Yan went to ask about the whereabouts of He Shuang and the slave girl, only to find out that they were assigned to Duanyunxuan.
The aunt in charge of Duanyunxuan is Zuo Qing's subordinate. I heard that she is very strict in managing people. From this, I think Fozhen also took great pains.
After some time, they must also understand.
A few days later, an old man came to the school. He was wearing a heavy robe, his hair and beard were all white, and he looked very old.
This person is none other than Ze Yuan, the elder of the Summer Resort behind the academy. He once participated in the War of the Six Kingdoms, but no one knows his specific origins.
Elder Zeyuan leaned on his cane and slowly sat down. His bright eyes swept across the school, and there was a sudden silence.
Su Yan stood quietly beside him, only to hear the elder cough a few times, and a vicissitudes of voice came out from his throat: "You students all come from famous families. It has been many days since you entered school, and you have not yet found a teacher to teach you. I feel sorry for you." Ah!" He sighed and added, "This Mr. Su Yansu comes from a famous family in Chu State. He is well versed in economics and is familiar with the art of war..."
Su Yan coughed dryly: "That... elder, I don't teach this!"
The elder was stunned for a long time before he realized, "Oh! Well, that old man is confused. He is familiar with ancient tea books, proficient in tea art, and is good at tasting. It is most appropriate for her to be Mr. Shu Youtang."
Su Yan was not informed of this introduction in advance, which really surprised her and opened her mouth from ear to ear.
She looked at the elder's wrinkled face with a hidden smile, and then looked at the disdainful students in the hall. It seemed that if she didn't continue to lie, she might not be able to pass today's test!
After squeezing for a long time, I squeezed out one sentence: "From now on, as a teacher, I will definitely know everything and talk about it, haha..."
Everyone in the hall was talking about this new gentleman, and there was a trace of ridicule in the words.
The elder didn't seem to see this scene, and nodded with great satisfaction: "In this case, I am relieved."
This person could only laugh a few times, which was regarded as an agreement.
After the students introduced themselves one by one, Elder Zeyuan spoke carefully to Su Yan about how to prepare lessons carefully, how to familiarize himself with the rules of the academy, and so on. Su Yan listened roughly.
It was already midnight. Changsun Yue and Yansheng leaned sleepily in front of the bookcase in Guluan Pavilion. Finally, they couldn't hold on and fell asleep. In the blink of an eye, another day and night passed.
Changsun Yue yawned, glanced helplessly at Su Yan, who was tinkering in front of the case, and couldn't help but ask Yansheng: "Mr. Su took office and didn't teach students. What's the use of copying this all day long? "
Yansheng waved his hand to signal her to be quiet.
A few days ago, Yan Sheng suddenly came over and said bitterly that it was the master in charge who asked him to do errands in Shuyoutang for a few days.
Su Yan held up his chin and pondered: Zuo Qing was extremely surprised and extremely grateful to have reserved the position of Mr. Shu Youtang for himself before, and now he has sent his entourage here. This is really a great effort!
But now is the time to hire people, so there is no need to be polite.
So he sent him to Wanchaofang to borrow a bunch of ancient books on tea, and then went to the waiter to get all kinds of tea. Finally, he thought that Changsun Yue had played tricks on him, including her.
Changsun Yue pitifully said that he still had to go to class. Su Yanguang rolled his sleeves and said domineeringly: "Then come in the evening!" without leaving any room.
After giving instructions to the two of them, they immersed themselves in study with satisfaction.
In the past, Su Yan would have refused to read one more book, but now that he has this gentleman on his side, he can only continue to work no matter how unwilling he is!
It's just that the lines are as separate as mountains. Regarding tea art, she has only read one book, and she only knows a few words about the tea ceremony that come out of her mouth. Although she knew how to pick and make tea, she really didn't know where to start talking about it in school! How can she teach the knowledge in those books? I can't convince these students with my little effort.
It seems that Zuo Qing couldn't recruit anyone, so he appointed himself after breaking the pot.
It seems that Seven Senses Academy recruits talented people very casually...so casually!
But Master once said that a man who doesn’t want to be a cook is not a good gentleman!
Therefore, when Su Yan learned how to collect medicine and heal wounds, he also learned martial arts and quarreling. In the past, I didn't understand the use of these two knowledges at all. Firstly, my master's life was harder than a rock, so I didn't need to climb over the walls to rescue him. Secondly, after the fight, everyone in the town was afraid of me. This talk and all his skills were useless. It's about to deteriorate.
But today, this knowledge of quarreling seems to have really come in handy.
Master once warned myself that if you criticize all the invincible men in the world, you will be very good at talking. In the future, let alone those old wives and old men, even if you go to the Criminal Department, you will be able to talk about the dead as alive.
Su Yan wondered what kind of world those fresh-faced students could see. As long as he reads a few more books, fills his stomach with academic theories, and has this sharp tongue, Shu Youtang will still not be able to be managed by him!
Thinking of this, my confidence immediately increased. I changed my previous loose character and worked hard to achieve my goals. I wished I could grow four eyes and read all the books.
Changsun Yue couldn't help his curiosity, so he walked closer to Yansheng and lowered his voice and asked him: "Doesn't she have some knowledge and is proficient in tea ceremony? Why do you need to read this? I knew this book by heart last year!"
Yan Sheng said to her: "This is the person decided by the Master in Charge. Don't talk too much, just wait and see!"
The eldest grandson pursed his lips, "I'm not a maid. If I need to take care of you, you'll take care of me. You're an errand sent by the boss!"
"I'm an errand boy, but you're not here to set a trap for Mr. Su."
Changsun Yue glared at him: "Don't mention this to me. You'll get angry when you mention it. If not..."
Just when he got to the point, Su Yan slammed the desk and said angrily: "Have you said enough? Think I'm deaf!"
The eldest grandson said timidly: "I, we didn't say anything."
Su Yan noticed that Yansheng's eyes were evasive, and something suddenly occurred to him. Then he changed his tone: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't eat people. If it weren't for you that day, I would still be stuck on that lake!"
The eldest grandson said with a naive smile: "This is not my credit, I was going to tease you that day, they..." As soon as the words came out, she immediately reacted, closed her mouth, and stared, but it was too late.
"Them? Who do they mean?"
Yansheng sighed: "Children from rich families are powerful and have been accustomed to being superior since childhood. For them, ordering people around and even forcing others to be scapegoats is a completely normal thing."
Changsun Yue lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.
Su Yan wanted to ask more about it, Yansheng said: "Sir, why bother to ask, just listen to my advice, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't bother with what you shouldn't care about. In this unfathomable academy, everyone can do their own thing." Snow in front of the door is the best way to survive."
Changsun Yue seemed to be stimulated to the point of sadness, and kept wiping away his tears.
This was the first time Su Yan heard that such arrogant people existed in the world. It is said that scholarly families often produce talented young men. I didn’t expect to hear about it today and it was an eye-opener! These young men who have not yet reached the crown are so arrogant!
She became angrier and angrier, and when she was angrier, she sympathized with Changsun Yue even more, and all her previous dissatisfaction with her disappeared.
She secretly decided in her heart that she must correct this extremely twisted school atmosphere!
