Great Wei scholar

Students from Tianming Academy also appeared.

"This group of people should be wearing eyeliner. There is no such a coincidence. They came as soon as we arrived."

Wang Ru suppressed his voice and spoke, he instantly felt that the other party was on purpose, otherwise, such a coincidence would not be possible.

"These guys seem to be eyeing Brother Xu."

"Don't worry about it, just be yourself."

Li Xin spoke, a little upset, and Chen Xinghe followed suit, not wanting the conflict to escalate.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much."

Also at this time.

Among the students of Tianming Academy, a figure came out from the crowd. He knew Chen Xinghe, had a little relationship with him, and led the students towards him, bowing slightly to Chen Xinghe.

"I met Brother Zhang."

Seeing the other party, Chen Xinghe didn't seem very polite, but he didn't break the rules in etiquette, and he saluted him as a meeting.

The latter was wearing the academic gown of Tianming Academy, and his appearance was not bad, but his eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao.

"Brother Chen, this is not Xu Qingxiao, Xu Wangu, the first person in the Wei Xinchao Mansion Examination, who wrote peerless articles, Xu Dacai?"

The latter had noticed Xu Qingxiao a long time ago, but at this moment, pretending to see Xu Qingxiao, his words were exaggerated and seemed to be very respectful, but when this sentence came from someone else's mouth, it might really be a compliment.

But when it came out of his mouth, there was an indescribable taste.

"I've seen all of you brothers, it's really an exaggeration to say that you are a great talent in the past, but you are just a lucky scholar."

Xu Qingxiao didn't want to stir up trouble, he understood that the purpose of these people was to irritate himself, and in the final analysis, he was looking for an imbalance in his heart.

If it was normal, maybe Xu Qingxiao would say a few words back, but today I still have something to ask, so Xu Qingxiao endured it.

"Better luck? Xu Wangu is really serious."

"Heaven was not born to me, Xu Qingxiao. Confucianism and Taoism are like a long night. This is what Brother Xu himself said. If we don't call it the word "Wan Gu", it won't be said that the students of Tianming Academy don't respect people, right?"

Zhang Heng opened his mouth with a smile on his face, but this sentence was really a bit ironic.

"you!"

Li Xin couldn't help it anymore, he wanted to speak, but Chen Xinghe stopped him.

"Wan Gu is a bit exaggerated. My junior brother is just talking casually. It can only be regarded as a joke. However, my junior brother has only been in school for more than a month, and he is already at the eighth grade of Confucianism and Taoism. It is too much to call Wan Gu."

"Xu Qiangu is just right, what do you guys think?"

When Chen Xinghe opened his mouth, he had a clear and proud face. Although he knew the other party, his relationship could only be described as good or bad.

Now that the other party humiliates his junior so much, Chen Xinghe can naturally tell who is his own and who is not.

This sentence is modest on the surface, but it is actually a kind of ridicule.

Whether Xu Qingxiao is a master of the ages is another matter. He stepped into the eighth rank of Confucianism and Taoism within a month of enrolling. This alone is not comparable to you.

Sure enough, when these words were said, the faces of the students of Tianming Academy couldn't help but change.

They could hear what Chen Xinghe said.

Angry?

very angry.

But can you fight?

Can't stand it, because it's a fact.

"Yes, in less than one month, he has already reached the eighth rank of Confucianism and Taoism. It is indeed rare, and a genius through the ages is not too much."

"It's just that in the past and present, many people stepped into the eighth rank in a very short period of time, but they have been stuck in the eighth rank for a lifetime, and they can't understand. Brother Xu still needs to work hard, read more sage books, and understand the meaning earlier. Step into the seventh rank earlier, so as to avoid gossip from others."

A strange voice sounded.

Use dissuading words to ridicule Xu Qingxiao.

"Stupid, others may be stuck at the eighth rank, but Xu Wangu can definitely, the intended peerless article, can't be promoted to the seventh rank?"

"Brother Xu, if you can, I hope you can teach me and share the article, so that I can study hard. If one day, I can understand, this kind of kindness is unforgettable."

"Yeah, yeah, I almost forgot about this, Xu Wangu, Xu Dacai, don't hold grudges, my body is weak and can be blown down by a gust of wind, but don't hold grudges, I said something wrong."

The students of Tianming Academy spoke one by one, and all kinds of eccentric words came out.

Some people even directly satirized that Xu Qingxiao ordered officials to beat people.

Looking at these people.

Xu Qingxiao's face was very calm, but at this moment, he also completely understood a truth.

If a guy doesn't like you, no matter what you do, he won't change his opinion.

The other party is like this.

Xu Qingxiao is also like this.

But no matter what, Xu Qingxiao knew that today he did not come to quarrel, nor did he come to fight, but to reconcile.

"May I ask where Master Wan is?"

Xu Qingxiao did not respond to their ridicule, but asked where Wan Anguo was.

"Master Wan is already at the banquet, but Brother Xu, I would like to advise you, since what happened a few days ago has nothing to do with Brother Xu, then don't get involved, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Zhang Heng replied, his face still full of smiles.

But from this sentence, I also know that this group of people is indeed waiting for me, otherwise the master has gone up, and they have just arrived?

Clearly out of line.

"Okay, let's go in."

Chen Xinghe didn't want to say anything to this group of people. At a critical moment, he opened his mouth and brought Xu Qingxiao and the others inside.

At this moment, many scholars surrounded Xu Qingxiao and others.

These are all scholars from Nanyu Prefecture.

Seeing the silent Xu Qingxiao and others leave, the students of Tianming Academy became happier one by one, as if eating honey.

After all, seeing Xu Qingxiao deflated, they must be very happy.

"Go, let's go in too."

Zhang Heng opened his mouth, and the students walked in bustlingly.

On the road.

Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe walked side by side, surrounded by fellow literati from Nanyu Mansion, all of them were aggrieved at this moment.

"These guys came here with bad intentions. Before, they said they were just discussing Confucianism and Taoism, but today they showed their true colors."

"Yeah, after all, I just don't agree with Brother Xu's taking the first place in the government examination, and overwhelmed them. These people are narrow-minded, and compared to Brother Xu, they are less than one ten-thousandth."

"Comparing them with Brother Xu is simply insulting Brother Xu."

"However, judging from their expressions today, it seems that they are somewhat prepared. When it comes to the banquet in the building, they will probably suppress me. I wonder if brother Xu has prepared some poems to cheer up the fun, lest this group of people become more arrogant and complacent."

The scholars in Nanyu Mansion were still relatively united, and they came one by one, standing in line.

"It's okay, I've prepared the poems, it's not their turn to show off."

At this moment, Chen Xinghe opened his mouth with a confident look.

After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, along the way, Xu Qingxiao remained silent. He seemed unusually quiet, but this kind of quietness somehow made people feel something was wrong.

A quarter of an hour later.

Everyone came to Nanyu New Building.

With the maid leading the way, they quickly climbed to the fifth floor.

The pavilion is very spacious, with more than [-] tables in the main pavilion, and hundreds of tables around it.

Many people have arrived and are talking and talking.

In the main pavilion.

Li Guangxin was talking with two old men, his face was full of smiles.

"Xin'er, Shouren, come here."

At this moment, Li Guangxin saw Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin, got up immediately, and asked them to come over.

Li Xin responded, and Xu Qingxiao also followed.

As for Chen Xinghe and Wang Ru, they sat closest to the main pavilion.

Step onto the banquet table.

Xu Qingxiao looked at the two old men around Li Guangxin.

Both of them have white hair, and there is another characteristic, the clothes on their bodies have many patches, which look very old.

However, there were other people in the main pavilion, Mu Nanping and Mu Nanning also came, and several masters, all took their seats.

"Xin'er, Shouren's nephew, come here, this is Wan Anguo, Master Wan, the old dean of Tianming Academy."

"This is the Great Confucianism of the dynasty, Yan Lei, Yan Daru, please see me soon."

Li Guangxin got up and introduced them to the two very solemnly.

"Student, I have met Master Wan and Yan Daru."

When meeting the Great Confucianism, Li Xin was obviously much more nervous, while Xu Qingxiao was extremely calm.

After saluting, Wan Anguo praised Li Xin, but his eyes soon fell on Xu Qingxiao.

"Is this Xu Qingxiao? He really is a good-looking talent. I, Da Wei, are truly blessed to have such a hero."

Wan Anguo praised Xu Qingxiao, he really valued Xu Qingxiao, this is the value of literati, and has nothing to do with personal matters.

However, compared to Wan Anguo, Yan Lei, and Yan Daru were much more rigorous, and they nodded slightly, without any compliment.

There was a kind of majesty all over his body, for example, Li Xin didn't dare to look at him, feeling inexplicably panicked.

This is the aura of Daru.

"The master is too famous."

Xu Qingxiao responded very modestly, and the latter just smiled and did not continue to be polite.

At the moment, Li Guangxin asked Xu Qingxiao to sit on the main seat next to Mu Nanping. Xu Qingxiao was the first in the Great Wei Xinchao Mansion Examination and was qualified to take the seat. As for Li Xin, he went down obediently and just found a place to sit.

Although he wanted Li Xin to sit, but the rules did not allow it, he had no virtue and no talent, if he sat on the seat, it would be small to attract gossip, but it would be great to attract bad reputation, especially when sitting next to him was an upright and upright Confucian.

"Brother Xu! I haven't seen you for a few days, and it's even more profound."

After Xu Qingxiao sat down, Mu Nanping said politely to Xu Qingxiao.

"Brother Mu is the same."

Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly, but anyone could tell that he had something on his mind, so Mu Nanping stopped communicating.

Guests came in one after another.

There was still half an hour before the banquet, and soon the students of Tianming Academy also entered the venue. Zhang Heng led the crowd to the main seat, and bowed deeply to Li Guangxin, the masters, and Yan Lei.

One person in particular looked at Yan Leidao with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, how is your health recently?"

He opened his mouth on purpose, revealing that his relationship with Yan Lei was that of an uncle.

And this person is the person who was downstairs just now and asked Xu Qingxiao to write an article.

"It's been fine recently, but I heard from your father that you have been neglecting your studies recently and went to travel in the mountains and rivers. Although you passed the government test this time, you didn't rank in the top ten. When you have free time, you have to talk to my elder brother. , let him teach you a lesson, otherwise how can you become a talent?"

Yan Lei opened the mouth and said in a reprimanding tone.

The latter sneered, opened his mouth again and again, saying that he would never do it again.

Immediately afterwards, everyone retreated, but this person pulled Zhang Heng to sit on the edge of the main pavilion. Although he was on the edge, he also entered the main pavilion, a little proud, with a bright smile on his face.

Guests gather.
