Chapter 487: The Yunmu Pavilion Literary Gathering, which is very similar to the Tengwang Pavilion
Every time Shuyalou announces the results, it will attract the attention of people all over the world.
Today, just when everyone was sighing that the Queen had indeed won the first place on the poetry list and occupied the top three lists.
Many people are even more surprised and puzzled about who this "Sword Immortal" is!
There are ten people on the sword list and ten people on the horizontal training list. This means a double end!
Some people even speculated whether Shuyalou had made a mistake. After all, how could anyone reach double ends?
Or maybe everyone in Quyang City was surprised, why didn't they write a real name, but just "Sword Fairy". It was obvious that everyone knew that the lady's name was Li Xinghe, and Shuya Tower couldn't possibly not know about it!
The most important thing is that this Lady Xinghe is not even on the Rouge List!
This made everyone in Quyang City even more puzzled. Even some great masters of the realm were planning to go to Shuya Tower to reason with them. After all, her looks didn't make it onto the Rouge List. It was hard to say whether she was first, but she would definitely be in the top three. And yet, she wasn't on the list. Are you, Shuya Tower, blind?
There are different opinions all over the world.
However, some people said that the kids finally stopped talking about the Queen. When it comes to things in the martial arts world, people always talk about the Queen. What a waste. They should talk about the Sword Immortal instead.
While people in the world are confused about these things.
Su Changan and his group had left Quyang for several days, and had officially entered the Jiangnan area.
Spring breeze, spring warmth, spring days, spring days.
It is said that the place of Jiangnan is widely praised by poets in poems.
The scenery along the way is really nice.
Especially now that we have entered the Yunxiang area, and the next stop is Guangling Yangzhou.
Su Changan had read a book called "Shui Xing Wu" written by an old scholar in Daxia. It said that when he entered the Yunxiang area and saw the Yunmu Lake, he would say "The mist and rain are light, a fishing rod is in the wind and moon, I sleep by the side of the painted boat listening to the rain, where is my home."
Moreover, the Yunmu Pavilion on the side of the Yunmu Lake is considered a Feng Shui building by the people of the Yunmu land because of its geographical location. It gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, so it is called "literary pen". Especially since Yunmu is located on the bank of the Mu River, the Yunmu Pavilion occupies an especially important position in people's hearts, so it is also called "water pen".
After listening to it, Su Changan felt that Yunmu Pavilion was very similar to the 'Tengwang Pavilion' in his previous life.
However, without Wang Bo in Daxia, there would naturally be no "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" or "Preface to the Pavilion of Yunmu".
Although Su Changan and the others were not at Yunmu Lake at the moment, they could see the top of the attic from afar. It was a must-go place. If it weren't for the drizzle, they would probably be there by now.
but
In the drizzle, the white apricot blossoms and the green leaves are refreshingly lush, it is a beautiful sight!
There are also scenes of teachers educating their students. These three things combined are a feast for the eyes for the Empress, who already loves to watch the fun!
The pavilion is located on one side of the official road.
Su Changan and others took shelter from the rain and enjoyed the scenery under the pavilion.
On the other side of the pavilion, a short, unremarkable old teacher was lecturing three students.
The three students are all young children in their teens.
Each of them had a bamboo basket on his back, and the three of them lowered their heads, looking aggrieved.
The old teacher said sternly, "The wise words of the past are teachings to you. Collect rhymes and add texts, and you will see and hear more. To understand the present, we should learn from the past. Without the past, there would be no present. I taught you these few sentences yesterday, but you forgot them all today during your study tour. You have completely forgotten the principle of reviewing the past to learn new things. You keep repeating the words of the Queen Mother, 'Read ten thousand books and write like a god.' But when it comes to using them, you three don't know anything! Not even one of you brought a pen and ink with you!"
As he said this, the teacher pointed at the chubby boy and said, "I'm going to travel with you to study. I'm taking you to the Wenbi Peak Yunmu Pavilion to broaden your horizons. You three are so good! Li Qingyuan! Tell me what's in your bamboo basket!"
The little fat boy didn't dare to speak. His little fat hands were clutching each other, and he felt very guilty.
The master looked at this and scolded, "Take it out! Do you really want me to take out the ruler?"
The little fat boy looked at the teacher aggrievedly, but seeing the teacher's expression, the little fat boy finally took down his bamboo basket and took out a few oil bags and some fruits from it.
He even took out a lot of steamed buns.
Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and others looked on and started laughing.
Looking at the food piled up like a small mountain over there, the old man took a deep breath and cursed, "I'm ashamed you can carry it!"
Then, the old man looked at the girl: "Xiuning, what about you! Take it out!"
The short-haired girl pursed her lips, put down her bamboo basket, and took out kites, slingshots, sandbags and other toys from it.
The old man smoothed his chest with his hand and said, "Good, you are also very good!"
Then the old man looked at the bald boy at the end.
Unexpectedly, the boy timidly said, "Sir, Qingyuan brought the food, Xiuning brought the toys, and you brought the knowledge. I brought nothing."
As soon as these words came out, the old teacher's face exploded with anger: "I've been teaching for a month, but you haven't memorized a few sentences from the book, but you have learned to get something for nothing! I brought you the knowledge, but can knowledge be compared with eating and playing? Well, you are even better!"
Then he turned around and took the ruler from his bag.
But after searching for a while, he found that it was gone. He immediately turned his head and looked at the three children: "Where is the ruler?"
Xiuning said, "I left it at home when I helped Master's Wife pack your luggage. I was afraid it would be too heavy for you to carry."
How heavy can a small ruler be?
Hearing this, the old man blew his beard and glared.
The bald man immediately ran to the teacher and said, "Sir, we were wrong. Please calm down. Besides, there are so many people watching us. You can't really hit us. It would be embarrassing. And look at how pretty those sisters are over there. If they really get hit, you will also lose face. So please calm down."
As he said that, the little bald guy immediately winked at the fat boy and the girl.
The girl was smarter than the fat man. She immediately took the fruit that the fat man brought and brought it to the teacher: "Sir, please eat some fruit to calm down. We were wrong and we won't do it again."
"That's right, that's right." The little fat boy didn't know what to do, but he looked at the teacher with a bun in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, "Would you like to eat?"
The Master was so angry that he laughed instead, and then scolded him: "Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, you only know integrity and shame, right! Traveling with books on your back to study, do you think it's just a spring outing?"
The teacher became even angrier. He had seen many naughty children in his teaching career, but these three students gave him the most headaches!
But he did not curse again. Instead, he tried to control his emotions, stood up, looked at Su Changan and others, and bowed slightly: "My young disciple is naughty, I am sorry to make you laugh."
Su Changan bowed in return: "I will discipline you, old master."
After saying that, Su Changan added: "I happen to have a stick here, do you want it?"
Su Changan handed the straight branch in his hand to the old man.
No man could resist such a straight branch!
When he first discovered it, Su Changan was stunned. How could it look like this? It's so straight!
So he picked it up and ran to Xia Fengxiang to show off, and then was given a lot of cold stares.
Seeing this particularly beautiful sister actually do such a thing, the three children were shocked, and while staring at Su Changan, they all thought in their minds, "It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the worse she is!"
The little bald guy even ran to his teacher, grabbed his hand and stopped him from taking the small wooden stick.
The girl grabbed the other hand.
The little fat man stood directly in front of Su Changan, and then gestured to Su Changan to take it away quickly.
"Don't take it, it's too heavy." The girl looked at the teacher and said, "Besides, the saint said that hitting students is wrong."
Hearing this, the old master raised his hand and was about to hit the girl hard on the head. When did the sage say this? If the sage hears it, I’ll tell you whether he will hit you or not!
But seeing the girl looking at her eagerly, the old lady shook her head and sighed heavily.
The actions of the three little ones, especially the girl's words, made Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan and others laugh.
The old man looked at Su Changan and the others with a gloomy face. He said, "I'll deal with you when I get back!" Then he scolded them, "Go stand there as punishment. Stand there until the rain stops!"
The three little ones were very happy as long as they were not beaten. They immediately ran to a corner of the pavilion and stood there very skillfully. It was obvious that they had been punished a lot.
Finally, the little girl glared at Su Changan.
The old man shook his head helplessly, then looked at Su Changan and the others, bowed and said with a guilty look: "I am Gu Quezhi, the teacher of Baima Academy. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all."
Su Changan smiled and said, "I have long heard of your name, sir. I am Li Xinghe, and this is my wife. We are both from the martial arts world, and our backgrounds are not worth mentioning."
At the same time, Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan and said, "Why have you admired me for so long? If you really knew him, you should know that he is Grandpa Gu Chiyu. Why do you admire me for so long?"
However, Xia Fengxiang didn't say much, just looked at the old man in front of him.
The Yangzhou Gu family is not a big family, but just a well-connected one.
The highest official position held up to this point was the prefect of Yangzhou, the old man in front of us.
After resigning from his official position more than ten years ago, he became a teacher at the Baima Academy, one of the five largest academies in the world, teaching and educating people.
He has three sons. Two of them teach in academies, and the second son is now a county magistrate in Tai'an. That man's name is written in Xia Fengxiang's notebook. Although he cannot be considered a capable minister, he is a good official who can govern the local area.
As far as Xia Fengxiang knew, the second son of the Gu family had once solved a case in Tai'an that caused quite a stir. It was a case of a twelve-year-old child who had committed murder.
Many people went to Gu Jia Erlang's house, saying that it was this child who accidentally killed someone, and what did a twelve-year-old child know.
But after investigating the matter, Gu Jia Erlang discovered that the child had killed people and buried bodies, and robbed money and extorted money. How could this child know nothing?
However, Gu Jia Erlang did not say much. He just took some food and went to the child, and asked those who begged for mercy to hide in the dark and watch.
Gu Jia Erlang first buried all the meat under the leaves, and then placed the chopsticks of the three people upside down.
After that, when the child ate, he not only adjusted the chopsticks, but also specifically picked out the meat to eat.
So Gu Jia Erlang immediately judged that the child already knew the difference between right and wrong, and ordered the death penalty!
Afterwards, Gu Jia Erlang reported the case to the emperor, and explained that the law should explain the situation of children committing crimes and killing people.
Because of this incident, the name of Erlang of the Gu family was included in Xia Fengxiang's notebook.
But when you think about it, it was only when it came to Gu Chiyu that the Gu family gained face again.
Su Changan glanced at the three young children and said, "They are just children. I was more naughty than this when I was young. Master, don't worry. My younger brother is even more naughty than this."
Mr. Gu Quezhi shook his head: "He is already ten years old, not a child anymore. He knows everything he should know and understands the truth. But he has a stubborn temper, ah..."
Having said that, the old master looked carefully at Su Changan and others.
He was carrying a knife and a saber, and just now he claimed to be a man of the world.
However, the old man, who was in his sixties, could tell at a glance that the people in front of him were not from the underworld. Only the old gentleman had some underworld air.
After all, the so-called world of martial arts is a mixed bag, with people who venture into the world of martial arts, people who travel around the world, and people who mingle in the world of martial arts.
But there are some people who call themselves people of the underworld, and they are actually in the underworld, but you can tell at a glance that they are not people of the underworld.
But the old man didn't say much.
On the contrary, looking at Su Changan, everyone has a love for beauty. Although the old man is old, he can't help but feel emotional when he sees such a woman under the apricot blossoms and drizzle. Moreover, the girl in front of him has a kind face and a gentle look, like a spring breeze, which makes him feel good about her for no reason.
But immediately, the old master realized that he had lost his composure, bowed again, and then looked at the three people: "Are you guys here for Yunmu Pavilion too?"
Su Changan smiled and said, "We are going to Yangzhou and will pass by here. However, since we have entered the Yunxiang territory, we will naturally go to see the famous Yunmu Pavilion. After all, it is on the way."
Gu Quezhi smiled and said, "That's just right."
Then, Gu Quezhi said, "The Yunmu Pavilion has been renovated these past two days with the help of Qian Long, the richest man in Yunxiang. So a literary gathering was held there and many talented people were there. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and take a look."
At this time, the bald man, one of the three little ones, couldn't help but say, "The number one poet on the poetry list, Qiu Shui Anye, is here!"
The little girl corrected him immediately, "It's not the first place! The Queen is! And Sister Chiyu wrote a letter saying that the Queen could easily get the first place, and if there is a place above the first place, it must be the Queen's!"
Speaking of the Queen, the girl's face is full of admiration and longing!
The bald man nodded immediately: "That's right, it's not the first place, but it's also the second place!"
After saying that, the bald man immediately said, "Yes, there is also Bai Qi, one of the Thirteen Armors! The teacher really admires Mr. Bai, and I heard that a painting of his is worth tens of thousands of taels!"
The little fat boy stared: "I can buy a lot of roast geese!"
But the next second, the three little ones saw the look in their teacher's eyes, and they immediately turned around, lowered their heads, and whispered to themselves.
Gu Quezhi reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.
However, Su Changan and others laughed.
However, after hearing what the three little ones said, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang knew that Su Changan's eyes were asking him whether he should go or not.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Gu Quezhi and said, "Sir, if this is a literary gathering, can we also join?"
Gu Quezhi nodded: "You can go."
But after saying that, Gu Quezhi looked at the few people and hesitated for a moment before saying, "But after all, the Imperial College's chief priest Mu Xu is here today, plus Ru Baiqi, Qiu Shui'an and some other teachers are here, so swords and knives are not allowed to be brought in."
Hearing Mu Xu's name.
Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan and others were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other.
Then he looked at Gu Quezhi and bowed slightly: "In this case, we can go and broaden our horizons."
Since Mu Xu is here, there is no reason not to go and see him.
I asked you, an old man, to come to Jiangnan to do some work, and you actually started having fun.
