Chapter 14 Reactions from all parties
Zeng Anmin?
Qin Shoucheng's face turned a little stiff, and he subconsciously looked at the housekeeper.
The butler at this time lowered his head and did not look at himself.
Only then did his complexion return to normal.
I couldn't help but recall that he was just talking about how this boy hadn't been known for his talent in sixteen years...
"Zeng Anmin..."
Qin Shoucheng murmured the name slowly, then he suddenly looked up and asked:
"Then let me ask you, have you ever observed the essence of this boy's bones?"
"this……"
The housekeeper's expression suddenly changed.
To begin learning Confucianism and Taoism, one must be over sixteen years old.
This is an iron rule that must be recognized in the Confucian and Taoist traditions that have been passed down to this day.
Less than sixteen years old, with unstable consciousness and insufficient vitality...
If you try to force your way in, you will definitely suffer backlash in the future.
Apart from anything else, the backlash of the state of cultivating nature after the state of self-cultivation can be reflected.
"What kind of temperament does Zeng Shilin have?" Qin Shoucheng suddenly sneered:
"He is competitive and ambitious..."
"In my opinion, that fellow must have been too strict in his discipline, causing his son to be overwhelmed."
"He must have secretly studied how to enter Taoism before he turned sixteen."
"This..." The butler hesitated.
The dean is right.
"Haha, since he's so anxious to break through, let him go. I'll arrange for him to go to school tomorrow."
The dean chuckled:
"After the Self-cultivation Stage, there is the Nature-cultivation Stage. One must comprehend seven hundred strands of literary energy to achieve perfection. With this child's temperament, seeing that his classmates are progressing faster than him, he will surely be eager for quick success."
"When his blood and energy are depleted and he is in imminent danger, I will help him."
"Well……"
The butler couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the dean.
This not only saved the lives of the students in the college.
He also received a favor from the Governor of Fengqi Road.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"yes."
The butler left in a hurry.
…………
Liangjiang County, Shanghe Wharf.
At this time, a thousand guards stood on both sides of the street, all holding sharp weapons.
Dozens of officials from Liangjiang County, both great and small, were present, all looking respectfully at the turbulent river in front of them.
In the long river, an extremely tall ship slowly headed eastward.
Zeng Shilin breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the tall ship gradually disappear from his sight.
Emperor Jianhong finally left.
He slowly raised his head, looked at the official beside him and said in a cold voice:
"Everyone kept their mouths shut about your Majesty's visit to Liangjiang County."
"If I find out that someone is gossiping... humph!"
Hearing his words, everyone trembled.
The Liangjiang County Magistrate and the Xuanjing Division Commander were both shocked.
He then took the lead in saying that he would never say that.
The remaining dozen or so officials also responded seriously.
"Report, Governor General, a letter has arrived from the Water Governor's Academy."
A clerk came out of the crowd, panting.
"Shuidu Academy?"
Zeng Shilin frowned slightly.
Shuidu Academy is the most prosperous academy in the entire Jiangnan region.
It can even be said to be the highest institution of learning in the entire southern part of the Great Sage Dynasty.
If anything unexpected happened in the Water Governor's Academy, it would be a huge deal.
Old Zeng Shilin did not dare to delay. He took the letter from the clerk's hand, tore off the sealing wax, and then looked at it with a serious expression.
"this……"
Zeng Shilin was stunned after reading the contents of the letter.
Then I read it again in case I missed something.
After making sure everything was correct, he slowly raised his head with an expressionless face.
Seeing the Governor's strangeness.
The officials were puzzled, and someone asked cautiously:
"I wonder what's the important matter?"
"Important?"
After hearing this, Zeng Shilin raised his head and snorted coldly:
"You've come all the way here to report such a trivial matter? Is the academy trying to tease me?!"
When these words were spoken, all the officials on the shore were stunned.
What little thing?
What made the Governor so angry?
Seeing this, Liangjiang County Magistrate Qin Xiande's face was solemn. He walked to Zeng Shilin and asked in a serious tone:
"Please explain clearly, Master Zeng."
Zeng Shilin immediately handed over the letter in his hand:
"You can pass it around and read it for yourselves."
Then, Zeng Shilin snorted again.
He turned around and looked at the endlessly flowing river, with his back to the crowd.
Qin Xiande took the letter and read it carefully.
When he saw the sentence "Zeng Anmin, the student who enrolled today, understood the literary spirit in less than a moment."
The whole person trembled.
"Less than a quarter of an hour?!"
He cried out.
"What's wrong, Old Qin? He's so mysterious, it's driving me crazy!"
Wang Deli, the commander of the Xuanjing Division, spoke in a muffled voice and looked extremely uncomfortable.
Qin Xiande took a deep breath and handed over the letter:
"See for yourself."
Wang Deli could no longer contain himself, so he snatched the letter and read it carefully.
The other officials also came over and after reading the letter, they all looked up in shock.
"God-given scholarly talent!"
"My Great Holy Dynasty is blessed!"
"Yeah, I still remember it took me a whole year to get into the rank!"
“…”
Immediately, they started discussing it in a flurry.
However, Qin Xiande, the governor of Liangjiang County, knew that this was not the point.
His eyes rolled and he burst into laughter:
"Master Zeng! I thought that the fact that Young Master solved the case of the missing Dragon Map in one day was already a sign of his exceptional intelligence."
"I never thought that the Confucian and Taoist paths are even more gifted! What a blessing! It's a blessing for our Confucianism and for our Holy Dynasty!!!"
Qin Xiande saluted directly towards Zeng Shilin's back.
It was not until this time that the others reacted and looked at the letter.
Zeng Anmin? !
"Oh my! Could this Zeng Anmin be the Governor-General's only son?!"
"This, this, this... a double talent! There has never been such a thing before!"
“…”
With Qin Xiande taking the lead, the rest of the people reacted and began to congratulate.
"Oh my god! Young Master Zeng is so fucking awesome!!"
Wang Deli only reacted at this time, his face full of disbelief.
As soon as these words were spoken, the corners of the mouths of several civil servants around twitched, and they all took two steps back without leaving a trace.
A vulgar warrior!
Riverside.
If you look at Zeng Shilin from the river.
Of course, you can see his raised lips and his look of enjoyment.
And the right hand that can't help but stroke the beard.
but……
"Humph! It's just that I became enlightened faster. What's there to brag about?"
Zeng Shilin's voice was clear and distant, without any ups and downs, and he was standing with his back to the crowd.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed admiration.
The Governor is indeed indifferent to fame and fortune.
If they were in the situation, they would have hurried back to their ancestral hall and announced it to their ancestors.
"Which of the important matters of the court, the livelihood of the people, the autumn harvest, and the grain in the grain, is not more important than this?"
Zeng Shilin turned around expressionlessly and slowly walked towards Qin Xiande.
Qin Xiande understood immediately and handed over the letter respectfully.
"Okay, let's go back. There's no need to stay here."
After giving some warnings, Zeng Shilin quickly walked towards his carriage.
All the officials watched solemnly.
Until the carriage went farther and farther away and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Mr. Zeng is wholeheartedly devoted to the people. This is truly admirable..."
…
The streets were crowded with people.
"Hahahahaha!! Good!! Good!!"
In a certain carriage, someone could no longer hold back their laughter and let it out into the distance.
