Jun Yong Mosheng

Xu Mosheng returned to Xu's mansion, went directly to Xu Yuanzhi, and handed over the letter entrusted by Mr. Su to his grandfather.

Xu Yuanzhi opened the letter, read it word by word, and paced back and forth in the room for a while, "Sit down first, have you eaten yet?" He saw that Xu Mosheng had been exhausted for the past two days, so let her Sit and answer.

"No, it's okay, just drink some water." She sat down gently, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp. "Grandpa, what was written in the letter?"

"What did Mr. Su tell you?" Xu Yuanzhi asked back.

"Su Gong asked me to think clearly about why I entered school in the first place, and think about my original intention," she replied truthfully, "Also, he said he could forgive me but he couldn't go back to the academy..." In fact, Xu Mosheng still had a little hope in his heart , hoping to break the rules and stay in the academy.

"Still thinking about going back? What ability do you have to make Shuixi break this precedent for you." Xu Yuanzhi was furious, "How much have you learned from Jun Lan's skills?"

"I..." Xu Mosheng was speechless. She really has nothing special about her. There are many people who are better than her in the Academy of Poetry, Books and Martial Arts. The only instrument she is good at is that she is mediocre. How can she compare with Mr. Shen's accomplishments? on a par.

"What are you?" Xu Yuanzhi sighed, "What are your plans for the future?"

This question was asked again, but when asked about future plans, Xu Mosheng didn't know how to answer, because she didn't have an answer in her heart.She originally thought that she would be able to escape marriage temporarily by studying in Shuixi, and leave the house to earn her own living when she has some skills, but she obviously overestimated herself. "Mo Sheng has no plans..." she replied in a low voice.

"Want to marry?" Xu Yuanzhi asked directly.

"Don't marry!" Xu Mosheng replied firmly without thinking.

Xu Yuanzhi shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, "If you don't want to get married, you have to have the ability not to get married." With Xu Jingping and Shen Junlan in the lead, Xu Yuanzhi is somewhat more open-minded than before, and the matter of marriage still cannot be forced.

"Do you want to take part in the big scientific examination at the end of next year?" Xu Yuanzhi asked seriously.

"Scientific examination?" Xu Mosheng was a little puzzled. Most people study to enter Beijing to take the scientific examination. They enter the Imperial Academy of Huadian for further study, and then pass the imperial examination to obtain official positions. Tongyu and Junyi also have This plan. "Do you still have to dress up as a man to take the exam?" she asked.

"Why are you afraid?" Xu Yuanzhi looked at her.

"It's not that I'm afraid anymore." Mo Sheng lowered his head and stared at his hands, "I'm... tired." After this experience, she really didn't want to wear that men's clothing anymore.

"Tired? You're still afraid of suffering. There's no such thing as hard reading." Xu Yuanzhi preached solemnly.

"It's not that Mo Sheng is afraid of being tired from studying, it's that...it's too tiring not being able to be yourself..." How could grandpa understand the hard work of his disguise, even though he is a daughter, he has to forcibly make himself invulnerable to the disguise, always be on guard and be careful , if it wasn't for the protection of Tongyu, Junyi, and Mr., she might not be able to stay in Shuixi for a year.

Xu Yuanzhi's heart tightened when he heard the words, "I'm sorry for you." He treats her harshly on weekdays, but how can he not feel sorry for her heart, the scene of rescuing her from Zhizhou's mansion that day is still vivid in his memory .

He turned his back to sort out his emotions, and continued to ask, "What if I can be admitted to the Taixue as a woman?"

"Is it possible?" Mo Sheng actually didn't know much about the scientific examination system in this dynasty, because she had never thought about it after all.

Xu Yuanzhi turned around, handed the letter to Mo Sheng, stroked his beard and said, "Even though Brother Su expelled you from Shuixi, he didn't remove your student status. There are two subjects in Taixue that accept female students. One is Department of Musical Instruments, Lingyi Department of Medicine." According to the needs of the court, some music girls from Taixue were to be regularly selected to participate in sacrificial rituals and some medical girls to serve in the palace, but the status was not high and there was no official rank.

"Would you like to have a try?" Xu Yuanzhi asked.

Xu Mosheng read Mr. Su's letter, and understood his painstaking efforts, and also understood the purpose of the few questions he asked himself in the morning.

Mo Sheng didn't answer, she had no idea for a while, she couldn't give an answer hastily.

"Okay, go back and think about it, and let me know the result, so I can reply to Brother Su." Seeing that she didn't think about it, Xu Yuanzhi asked her to go back to rest first, and knelt for two days. It's not good anymore.

Xu Mosheng returned to his room, and there was another problem for no reason in front of him. It turns out that growing up is so uncomfortable. You finally solved one problem, and another problem immediately seemed to rush at you, so you don't have to take a breather.

"Miss, you are back. The master ordered the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and specifically asked you to eat first." Ying'er walked in with a food box.

"Well, let's eat less first." She took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Yinger, thinking that grandpa still cares about her, she can't fall down anymore, there are so many things waiting to be solved, the body can't collapse first up.

After eating, Xu Mosheng lay down and fell asleep without changing his clothes. She was really tired after kneeling for almost two days.She had a dream. In the dream, both Yong'er and her husband had their backs to her. No matter how she shouted, the two refused to turn around even if they couldn't hear her. People she didn't know were whispering and laughing. She blocked her ears, but she could still hear them laughing at her.

"Don't laugh anymore!" She woke up from her dream and sat up in shock, with fine beads of sweat on her hair. When she came back to her senses, she looked around, it was already night, it seemed that she had slept for a long time .

Xu Mosheng got up, sat down at the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.She raised her hands again, and stared at them carefully under the faint moonlight that entered the house, "For what?" she said to herself.

She remembered that Mr. Shen once asked her why she wanted to learn the piano when she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall before entering school, "In the darkest time of life, it was this piano that gave me hope... I hope you can use musical instruments to express your emotions. , drive away distracting thoughts... What is the difference between you abandoning it and abandoning me..." The words Shen Junlan said are still faintly ringing in my ears.

"We can't just let it go like this." Xu Mosheng put down his hand, came to the piano case, and lightly plucked the strings of the Jiuxiao Huanpei. She played it attentively, fascinated, without any distracting thoughts. How long has it been since she was so peaceful? Quietly feel every rhythm.

My own destiny is like this piano, only when she starts to play it, can it come alive, otherwise it is just a lifeless instrument, open to criticism, but only by letting it make a sound can it cover up those unreasonable things from the outside world. Noise, let them know that this is a good piano, she smoothed the strings, thinking silently.

Just after dawn, Xu Yuanzhi changed clothes and came to the hall. Xu Mosheng was already waiting for him there. She saluted, offered tea, and said, "Grandpa, Mosheng has made up his mind. Next year, he will take the scientific examination and enter the Imperial Academy."

Xu Yuanzhi squinted his eyes and took a sip of his tea. It seemed that this person had thought clearly and waited for him here for a long time. "And then?" he asked.

"Then, let's look at Mo Sheng's own good fortune. If he is a teacher, he will enter the palace to preside over the ceremony of silk and bamboo. If he fails the ranking, he will go back to Wangshan, and teach people the rituals and music like the master. In short, it can't be neglected." Maybe one day she can also do it. Like Shen Junlan, she could become a female student of Shuixi Academy, she thought to herself, she would return the kindness owed to Duke Su with teaching students, and return there in a fair and honest manner.

Xu Yuanzhi smiled, "Don't think too much about your ability." Mo Sheng was happy when he said this, but it's not that he doesn't understand Sizhu, Mo Sheng's skills are much worse than Shen Junlan's.

He continued, "If you really decide, you can study poetry and books in the mansion. If you want to be established, you must first pass the scientific examination at the end of next year."

"Mo Sheng understands, it's time to calm down." She replied, the scientific examination is not a child's play, and she knows how much is in her stomach.

"I will personally supervise the homework in the future." Xu Yuan gave an order, "I will invite another teacher to teach you at your house. If you continue to be playful and lazy, you will have no chance in the future."

"Then grandpa, can I successfully take the scientific examination next year?" In fact, Mo Sheng still had no idea in his heart, and she was afraid that she would be removed again because of her status.

"You can't be good at karma, if you don't suffer from it, you can't understand it; if you don't succeed, you can't do it unfairly. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest for you." Xu Yuanzhi said to her earnestly.

Mo Sheng saluted and prepared to leave, but something came to mind, he frowned and asked, "Grandpa, there is one more thing, can you let Mo Sheng go again before retreating..." She didn't dare to say anything The name of Chunzelou, "I'm afraid my mother is worried, so I have to give her an explanation. Grandpa, I don't want to go secretly again, so please allow me." She said sincerely.

Xu Yuanzhi didn't answer, closed his eyes and nodded, and waved his sleeves to agree.

"Thank you, Grandpa, Mo Sheng will not let you down again." After she finished speaking, she withdrew.

Sanniang and Yong'er must have known that they were expelled from the academy. Xu Mosheng once thought about writing a letter to explain the reason, but after thinking about it, she had to go and explain to them in person.Sanniang is waiting for her, and Yong'er is also waiting for her. Every decision she makes for the future is closely related to these people, and she is no longer alone.
