quiet!
The scholars and masters in front of the inscription were staring blankly at the poem on the inscription.
Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Zheng Zhiqiu's eyes. He cried and laughed: "How can I, Zheng Zhiqiu, be so virtuous? These two poems on the monument can help my Pingzhou Academy be passed down for thousands of years and be famous for hundreds of generations! Woo hoo..."
Zheng Zhiqiu covered his face and burst into tears.
The masters also wiped the tears from their eyes one by one, their eyes were red, and their hearts had long been replaced by regret.
Lin Yi single-handedly moved Pingzhou Academy into the Zhenguo Holy Courtyard. From now on... their names will also appear in the list of masters in the Holy Courtyard.
Sung by later generations.
But just now, they humiliated and questioned Lin Yi in all kinds of ways, and they looked down on this ninth-grade scholar who had no literary reputation from the bottom of their hearts.
"Lin Yi, this old man doesn't know the true dragons of great people, and his old eyesight is dim. I am ashamed of my mentor in heaven and earth, and I am even more ashamed of you. Please accept my respects from this old man!"
At this time, a master patted the sleeves of his robe solemnly, lifted up the hem of his Confucian robe, bent at ninety degrees, saluted and said: "From now on, I will not call myself master in front of you. If you are literary and knowledgeable, Where you are confused, I am willing to devote all my life’s learning to teaching you!”
"Lin Yi, please pay me your respects!"
"Please accept my respects from the old man!"
"..."
At the foot of Pingzhou Academy, except for Zhang Miaoyun who was paralyzed on the ground, the other six masters all bowed to Lin Yi.
From now on he no longer calls himself Master.
"Master!"
"Master..."
All the scholars looked at the Master in shock, and their minds were greatly shocked.
Some maesters also regret it.
Lin Yi looked at these masters indifferently and said, "I can't bear it!"
Said.
He looked at the group of trembling academy bachelors and said indifferently: "Who else is dissatisfied?"
Wow!
All the scholars were in an uproar, and they all subconsciously took a few steps back, not daring to look directly into Lin Yi's eyes.
Even if their cultivation level was higher than Lin Yi's, they still couldn't muster the courage.
"I'm convinced...I'm convinced!"
"I'm convinced too!"
"Clothes!"
Some maesters have already surrendered.
Even convinced.
In fact, Lin Yi's poem was not only highly talented, reaching the level of talent in the state, but also made the academy's literary bell explode.
What's even more frightening is that the content of the poem all reflects Lin Yi's mockery of them.
Whoever has an injustice means: If anyone has an objection, feel free to stand up.
In this situation, who dares to stand up?
Lin Yi nodded and turned to look at Li Wenbo: "Are you convinced?"
Li Wenbo's face turned red. He was very unwilling, but now he could only lower his head and said: "I'm convinced... I'm convinced..."
"Then according to the agreement, if you lose, you will be at my disposal, right?" Lin Yi asked.
"kindness……"
Li Wenbo's heart tightened.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said: "Originally, I planned to let you crawl into the academy, but you can accept it. This is worthy of recognition. You can be my book boy for one year!"
"Book boy..."
Li Wenbo was confused.
I immediately felt a great shame and humiliation. How could a scholar become a scholar?
Moreover, he is still the third genius of Pingzhou Academy.
Once he became Lin Yi's book boy, would he grind his ink during the day and pour urine for him at night?
He would rather crawl into the academy now.
Lin Yi then led the ox cart to Dean Zheng Zhiqiu and Chen Jinbei and said, "Dean, Master Chen, let's go!"
He is not worried about Li Wenbo breaking the contract.
"good!"
Zheng Zhiqiu nodded, and then led Lin Yi and Su Huaizhi into the academy, followed by Chen Jinbei.
A group of dull-eyed bachelors and a few old masters were left behind.
"Lin Yi is really what the dean said... he is a genius!"
"I really envy Senior Brother Li. It's a blessing in disguise that he can become Lin Yi's book boy..."
"How to say?"
…
The academy hall is halfway up the mountain.
Zheng Zhiqiu said that oxen can fly into the sky, so he took Lin Yi, Su Huaizhi and the oxcart to a small courtyard with a quiet environment.
"Xiao Yi, this place is so nice!"
Su Huaizhi's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! It's really good!"
Lin Yi smiled.
This is a small single-family courtyard with bamboos planted and rockery pavilions.
The most attractive thing is undoubtedly the bookstore.
The aroma of books fills the air, and the talents of heaven and earth are free. It is a good place to study and practice.
but.
Lin also heard some subtle sounds. Someone seemed to be snoring in the library.
Lin Yi frowned: "Dean, is there anyone living in this courtyard?"
"kindness!"
Zheng Zhiqiu stroked his beard and shouted in the direction of the book pavilion: "Haoran!"
"Dean?"
Soon, a young man with disheveled hair walked over from the library.
He stretched and yawned, as if he hadn't woken up yet, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, just like panda eyes.
"owl?"
As soon as Lin Yi saw it, he knew that this man was a night owl and didn't know what he was doing at night.
Zheng Zhiqiu introduced to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, this is Chen Haoran, the direct disciple of our dean!"
"I've met Brother Haoran!"
Lin Yi clasped his fists.
"polite!"
Chen Haoran yawned, glanced at Lin Yi casually, then looked at Zheng Zhiqiu and said, "Dean, is there anything else? If nothing else, I'll go and catch up on some sleep..."
"you……"
Zheng Zhiqiu blew his beard angrily and glared, scolding: "You must change your schedule. How can any scholar study at night?"
"Well, I'll definitely do it next time!"
Chen Haoran agreed and grinned.
Zheng Zhiqiu seemed helpless and continued: "Haoran, Lin Yi will live in the courtyard from now on. You have to take more care of him, do you understand?"
Chen Haoran looked Lin Yi up and down and said, "The dean's new disciple? He's pretty good, but he doesn't have the reputation of being a scholar at such an old age, so he has no future!"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Of course not as good as Brother Haoran!"
Chen Haoran nodded and said: "You are very self-aware, so just stay here! But I sleep during the day, so you'd better not disturb me..."
"OK!"
Lin also nodded.
The purpose of his coming to Pingzhou Academy was to practice literary skills and then take the exam to gain literary and Taoist honors.
Naturally, he has no interest in disturbing Chen Haoran's daily routine.
Zheng Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid that Chen Haoran would not agree.
But in the entire academy, Chen Haoran's courtyard and Fang Qingxue's courtyard are the most comfortable.
You can't let Lin Yi live with Fang Qingxue, right?
If word spreads, it will get a bad reputation.
Zheng Zhiqiu said to Lin Yi: "Then you live here with Chen Haoran. Mr. Su and Chen Jinbei live in the same courtyard, not far away!"
"By the way, Nanxiang Prefecture will hold a provincial examination soon. In addition to the literary examination, there will also be some simple literary skills. During this period, you should practice a few easy literary skills and try to come back with a clear exam, hahaha... …”
Zheng Zhiqiu was in a good mood, as if Lin Yi had become the first place in the provincial examination.
Chen Haoran was stunned for a moment.
Jieyuan?
Just this new kid? It doesn’t even look like it!
"Xiaoyi, study hard and practice hard, and strive to get a good reputation!"
Su Huaizhi gave Lin Yi some instructions and followed Chen Jinbei and Zheng Zhiqiu out of the yard.
…
"Lin Yi, right?"
Chen Haoran looked like he had a weak kidney, looked at Lin Yi seriously, and said mysteriously: "Tell the truth... are you the dean's illegitimate son?"
