As noon approached, the heat became more severe. A tree in Nuo Da was crowded with birds enjoying the shade, but not a single one was chirping. All of them tilted their little heads and looked curiously with their small black bean-like eyes. A teahouse.
Without him, the people in the teahouse are much noisier than them!
This teahouse, one of the largest in Beijing, was filled with people and suddenly fell silent.
It turned out that a young man who looked no more than sixteen years old, wearing a blue robe and a jade belt with his hair tied up, stepped onto the high platform.
The young man's long hair was swaying in the air. He turned slightly to the side, revealing his handsome and handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth. The people in the audience couldn't help but exclaim:
"He is the first of the three talents in the capital, a boundless and boundless gentleman!"
"It seems that Dongchen Academy is really extraordinary. On the last day of the literary debate, even gentlemen from all over the world came to admire it!"
"Why don't you see the Prince Marquis of Lin'an, one of the three talented people? Last year he said that he would enter Dongchen Academy as a distinguished person!"
"Hey, didn't Wuya Langjun enter Dongchen Academy three years ago? At that time, Wuya Langjun entered Dongchen Academy as a scholar and was the youngest student of Dongchen Academy!"
"Hey! Is there such a thing?! Then why did he come to power today?"
While speaking, Gao Wuya turned around and cupped his hands to everyone to answer their questions, but when he saw his phoenix eyes smiling, his red lips parted slightly:
"Gentlemen, my teacher is not feeling well today, so I have to pick up topics for you on this merit-seeking platform. I hope you will be able to share your thoughts!"
Then, Gao Wuya fluttered his sleeves, leaned forward, grabbed a ball of paper from a wooden box, and read aloud:
"Today's debate topic: There is a tree in the world with burrs on its body. The burrs grow bigger and bigger over time. It lives symbiotically with the tree, or it coexists and dies with its burrs, or it can cut out the flesh and remove the rot. What's the difference between the two?"
After Gao Wuya finished speaking, the boy who was sitting in front of the window, engulfed by the hot sunshine, paused slightly, but then began to read the book seriously.
It's just that he was flipping through the pages just for the sake of flipping through them. The time he spent on each page was so short that it seemed like he was just flipping through the book in his spare time. Everyone looked at him sideways, but the young man didn't pay attention to those side glances. superior.
After all, during the month of literary debate, Dongchen Academy provided some books to all literary debate venues free of charge for students to read in their spare time, which was a good time.
There are so many books that I really can’t read them all!
However, most people will not read books on such occasions, but choose to discuss knowledge with others.
One is to find out, and the other is to make friends.
However, many years ago, there was a man who seemed to see some mystery in the arrangement of Dongchen Academy. He came to the literary debate venue and studied hard for a whole month.
When I went to the academy to take the exam later, I failed in my name and collapsed and went crazy at the entrance of the academy:
"You put so many books, don't you just want to see who is the most diligent in studying? I have been reading for a whole month, going to bed at three o'clock every day and getting up at five o'clock every day, and I haven't slacked off at all. Why don't you click on me?!"
After this incident, the students were insensitive and secretly contemptuous of those who pretended to pick up books to read in the debate meeting.
And at that moment, the literary debate officially began:
The main idea of the debate is: 'A tree has a tumor growing on it. The tumor is getting bigger and bigger, and it is symbiotic with the tree. Should we live and die with the tumor, or should we cut out the flesh and remove the rot? '
On this topic, the students started a heated discussion:
"The tumor already coexists with the tree, and they live in peace with each other. Why do we need to do unnecessary things?"
"No, that's not true. Tumors are not a permanent thing. If we coexist with them, I'm afraid that sooner or later the tree will wither and die!"
“What if the burled tree only lives one year and the symbiotic tree lives ten years?”
"I think you should ask a doctor to make a careful diagnosis before deciding whether the tumor should be removed."
…
The students expressed their opinions, and the scorching heat outside could not stop everyone's enthusiasm. Some who could not get to the front even put their hands to their mouths and shouted in a heartbreaking manner.
Xu Jinyu looked up occasionally, and then sighed silently in his heart:
It seems that in ancient times, one had to have a good voice to be a scholar.
Who says you can't speak loudly when you're right?
Don't raise your voice. Who knows what you are talking about?
Xu Jinyu shook his head, finished flipping through the last book in his hand, and prepared to leave at a suitable time.
This Dongchen Academy is too generous. There are so many different books that you can read at will. Although most of them are travel notes, detailed explanations of famous paintings and other inconsequential things, there are also a few books that are serious enlightenment and advanced studies.
Dasheng's text is similar to traditional Chinese characters. Xu Jinyu had a little difficulty reading it at first with the support of the original owner's memory. However, after this month of "reading", there is no dyslexia anymore, which is really gratifying.
Xu Jinyu was in a daze for a while. In fact, he was digesting the books he read today by rubbing them in his memory and integrating them into a book, which was stored in the bookshelf of his mind.
"Hey, you've finished reading the book and can't hold it anymore?"
Xu Jinyu had just collected his thoughts when he suddenly heard a strange sarcasm, and he looked over blankly.
I saw a young man dressed simply, with an imposing manner, and his hair bound by a lilac silk ribbon, looking sideways.
Xu Jinyu used his photographic memory to bet that he would never recognize this person.
"Who are you?"
Xu Jinyu raised her head and spoke quietly.
The young man thought he was another opportunist, but when Xu Jinyu looked up, under his ordinary, even dusty clothes, there was actually a face made of jade, with a face as good as a crown jade. !
Under such criticism for his beauty, the young man kept his true feelings, but his words became stumbling:
"I, you don't need to know who I am!"
"Then what does my business have to do with you?"
Xu Jinyu became a little impatient, so he walked back by himself at this point, just in time to get home before the sun set and exercise.
Every pore of my tired body showed fatigue, but the moment when I was healed by my mother's delicious food, it was a supreme enjoyment!
When Xu Jinyu thought of delicious food, she didn't want to get entangled with the young man. She stood up and was about to leave, but the young man grabbed her arm:
"Don't, don't try to quibble! I've been watching you for a month! You have been looking for a corner to read books every day for a month. If it is useful to just read books, then these students who study hard every day might as well just go to school. Jiang committed suicide!
The original "Yiyuelang" was just that. After all, he had read the Eight Classics seriously. What about you? Is it all done after just flipping through it? "
As the young man spoke, his speech became more fluent. Looking at Xu Jinyu's handsome face, he said:
"Look at you, you are so young and you are so well-born. If you study hard, as long as you can enter the palace examination in the future, Tanhualang will not run away! But you are not doing your job day by day!"
Xu Jinyu: "..."
"May I ask your Excellency, what law did I break by turning over the book? When I turned over the book, did I affect the people who need to read the book?"
The young man was speechless for a moment. Seeing that the young man had no bad intentions, Xu Jinyu said calmly:
"Publicly, I have not violated the law; privately, I have not stopped or affected others. The act of reading the book is just my personal behavior. I really don't know why you are making fun of me?"
"You, you, didn't you do it for the teachers of Dongchen Academy who might be observing secretly?
It's so opportunistic...don't try it, someone has already tried it before, so as not to look bad! "
Xu Jinyu almost laughed out of anger:
"Does it matter to you whether you have a good face or not? I didn't steal or rob, so what else can I do wrong if I read the book and read it myself?
As for the opportunism you mentioned... Hey, what if I had memorized all these books? I thought you didn't have any malicious intentions, so I spoke to you in a nice voice, but I didn't expect you to be such a malicious person who speculates on others! "
It is true that the young man did not mean any harm, but his words and deeds all suggested that Xu Jinyu was a villain with questionable moral character who wanted to take advantage of others.
Although the heart is not strange, the nature is evil.
"It's me who is here today. I may be as cold as water and don't like to care. If it were a strong person, would you like him to give up the exam to Dongchen Academy and prove his innocence, or would you like him to admit that he is an opportunistic person? Um?"
Xu Jinyu didn't open his mouth. When he opened his mouth to quarrel, the boy's body shrank back and forth, as if he wanted to shrink himself back immediately.
But even so, Xu Jinyu did not stop. Seeing that the time was missed and he could only rush home by car, Xu Jinyu simply poured out his resentment for delaying the enjoyment of delicious food:
"If that person gives up the exam to Dongchen Academy, but he has the possibility of passing the exam, and just waits for a night of training, you are ruining his future!
If that person admits that he is opportunistic and scholars value his reputation, and he has tarnished his reputation, I am afraid that he will have no choice but to die, and your life will be ruined!
Do you dare to think about all this? If you think about it carefully, you would never do what you did today! "
Xu Jinyu obviously looked much younger than the boy, but as soon as these rapid-fire words came out, the boy's brain exploded and he gasped for air.
Xu Jinyu looked at it coldly and couldn't help but frown. With his temper, he wouldn't be so angry at his few words, would he?
After an unknown amount of time, the young man pushed the servant away and took a deep breath:
"What a sharp tongue! You said you wrote it all down, but do you dare to verify it?"
Xu Jinyu raised an eyebrow, this naughty kid is still here?
"So what if you dare? So what if you don't dare? Your Excellency, in the literary debate venue of Dongchen Academy, you have people verify your knowledge. You are not afraid of a woman being forced to have her body tested in front of her husband's house on the day she gets married!"
juvenile:"……"
"So, are you sure you want to take the test?"
Xu Jinyu asked slowly and lightly.
