After returning to Xu's mansion from Shuixi Academy, Xu Yuanzhi sent his servants to disperse, leaving only Xu Mosheng behind, and the grandfather and grandson went to the study.

"Grandpa, do you have anything else to tell Mo Sheng about the enrollment?" Xu Mosheng asked first, otherwise Xu Yuanzhi would not have kept her for no reason.

Xu Yuanzhi poured a cup of tea, took a sip, held the white porcelain teacup in his hand to play with, thought for a while and asked, "What is the test question that Mr. Su gave you today?"

"Oh, so grandpa is worried about my answer sheet. The three questions are not difficult. Mo Sheng answered them one by one." Mo Sheng smiled, and Mr. Su approved the answer sheet. She didn't know why grandpa was worried about it. .

"You tell the question and your answer one by one." Xu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes, waiting for Mo Sheng's answer.

Xu Mosheng explained in detail, "For the first question, Mr. tested the last sentence of "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". The answer is that Mo Shanxuan came from "Guanzi Luxurious". The third question is a bit strange, and there is no answer at all."

Xu Yuanzhi slowly opened his eyes, and asked, "Why is it so strange?"

"Mr. asked when Yao, Gao Tao was a scholar, and would kill people. Gao Tao said that killing was the third. Yao said that it was the third. Therefore, the world fears Gao Tao's firmness in law enforcement, and Yue Yao's punishment is lenient. The source of the allusion. But Mo Sheng has never seen the dialogue between Yao and Gao Tao about this matter in his studies, so he thinks that Mr. made it up. I don’t know how to answer, so I crossed this question out.”

When Xu Yuanzhi heard this, he almost lost his grip on the cup in his hand. He put the cup back on the table, walked to the center of the room, and began to interpret, "Mr. Su, these three questions are probably to test the basic skills and skills of the students we accept. Temperament. The test of the end of the four books is the basic skills. I am afraid that some people only know the beginning of the book and ignore the end of the book, and the knowledge will be anticlimactic. For the second question, Brother Su chose "Guanzi". , Confucianism, fame, military, agriculture, yin and yang, weight and so on, presumably to test the amount of reading of the students, this question is relatively rare, and it will give you a lot of points if you can answer it correctly."

Xu Yuanzhi paused, and continued, "This third question, I'm afraid Mr. did it on purpose. The allusion is indeed fabricated. Although not everyone can see it, but even if you can't see it, don't dare to add it arbitrarily. The judgment was fabricated by Mr. Su, and he only blamed himself for not being good at reading. If you don’t answer the answer, or don’t know the answer, the husband will not think you are lazy. But you..."

Xu Yuanzhi sighed, "But you just crossed it out, which means that you know that there is something wrong with the question. Such recklessness will make you act sloppily, and it will make your husband think you are too sharp." Xu Yuanzhi reprimanded.

After listening to Xu Yuanzhi's explanation, Xu Mosheng realized the mystery of it, and only then hated himself for being straightforward and quick. "Grandpa, does that mean that Mo Sheng left a bad impression on Mr."

"I'm not sure about this. How to talk about people is a subjective impression, but you really didn't handle this question well. Although it shows that you have a good understanding of people, it is too ostentatious. I am afraid that you will have to restrain your mind in the future. Sigh, it’s also my fault that I taught something wrong, I was the same way when I was an official, I spoke out my own opinion, I was different from popular customs, I made enemies and stumbled a lot.” Xu Yuanzhi looked outside the door, then turned his head to look at Mo Sheng, the child was lowering his head and thinking. Pass.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is actually no need to worry too much. After all, Mo Sheng performed very well today and did not make any major troubles. Xu Yuanzhi is already very satisfied. "Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. After entering school, you must remember that since you have hidden your identity as a woman, you must keep a low profile in your behavior. Don't force yourself to stand out. Think twice before acting. Talent, learning and morality lie in the heart, not in words." Xu Yuanzhi exhorted.

Mo Sheng nodded again and again to show that he listened, Xu Yuanzhi remembered something again, "By the way, Mr. Shen is leaving the mansion tomorrow, you escort her all the way to Shuixi Academy to express your gratitude, after that, you are not allowed to leave the mansion again, and study poetry and books more diligently. Five days later, you need to wear men's clothes to participate in the Confucian Temple Sacrifice Ceremony, go early and stand in front of people, and Mr. Su has already arranged the rest for you."

After explaining, Xu Mosheng saluted and left the study room. On the way back to the house, she was thoughtful. She rarely interacts with people and doesn't have that much scheming. What she saw and heard when she went out today made her feel that the outside world is not the same as Xu Mosheng. Mansion and Nachunze Building are different.

Today, Xu Mansion is much more lively than in the past, although it is lively, no one is happy.Shen Junlan went to formally bid farewell to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu early in the morning. The parting was inevitably sad. Mrs. Xu had already ordered her servants to prepare the clothes and household for Shen Junlan after leaving the mansion. The two elders took her as if they were their own.

"It's inconvenient for us to move around after you entered the academy, remember to come home and visit often." Mrs. Xu finally confessed, and Shen Junlan kept it in mind.

She didn't pay many salutes, and with the usual musical instruments and personal belongings, she had just filled a carriage, and in the morning, her servants sent her to the academy for placement.Mrs. Xu intended to send her a maid to go with her, but Shen Junlan declined, she was used to being alone, and it was really inconvenient to bring a maid in the academy.

Just like that, she in plain clothes and green shirt rode a horse alone, just like when she came to Xu Mansion, she was alone and had nothing.

It was getting late, she was going to leave the mansion eventually, and she didn't wait for her apprentice to formally say goodbye, Shen Junlan turned her head and took a deep look into the courtyard, thinking, "Forget it, I will see you again in the academy in a few days."

Then he turned around, whipped his horse and left the house.

Just after leaving Xu's mansion, the horse hadn't started to run yet, but not far from the gate of Xu's mansion, a young man in white was standing at the entrance of the street on a white horse.Shen Junlan pulled the rein and stopped the horse's hooves that were about to gallop.

Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head, and a smile as bright as a peach blossom appeared in front of his eyes. Shen Junlan lost his mind and stared in a daze.The young man dismounted, wearing the same plain long gown, with a wooden flute pinned to his waist, and walked towards her gracefully.

Walking to the front, the young man saluted and knelt down, "Mr. Mo came to see you off, thank you master for not disliking my disciple's stupidity, accompanied by the sound of the piano every day, as a teacher and a friend, my disciple has nothing to repay."

From the moment she saw the boy in white, Shen Junlan's eyes never left her, until the boy finished his salute, she still didn't say a word.Xu Mosheng just knelt on the ground in a daze for a while, and didn't dare to get up when he didn't hear Mr.

"Get on the horse." After recovering, Shen Junlan didn't say much in reply.

Xu Mosheng thought that the husband would say something to her, but she didn't get any more responses, so she didn't find it strange, Shen Junlan was still not good at revealing her heart.

Getting up on the horse, the master and the apprentice were one in front of the other, Shen Junlan didn't let the horse gallop, and walked towards the academy at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city like a leisurely stroll. The master didn't raise the whip, and Xu Mosheng only dared to follow behind.The two were still speechless, Xu Mosheng looked at Shen Junlan's back.

The person in front of me is thin, with a straight back, independent from the world, never slackening in the slightest, with the wind blowing, her long hair floats, incompatible with the noise of the city, as if she never belonged anywhere.

Originally, it took at most an hour to arrive at Shuixi Academy, but the master and apprentice walked around the city for two hours. Shen Junlan intentionally walked through many deserted alleys. Walking around, this time I saw everything clearly.Xu Mosheng did the same, he just followed behind, thinking that this city is so big.

But no one cared about the passing of time.Finally, when they reached the gate of the academy, Shen Junlan stopped his horse, and Mo Sheng also stopped.Get off the horse and go to help Mr. get off the horse.

"Just come here, you go back earlier." Shen Junlan got off the horse, swept the folds of the long gown, and said not lightly.

"Sir..." Xu Mosheng wanted to say something else, but he didn't know what to say.

"I will enroll in a few days. I will see you again. I have nothing to give away." Shen Junlan comforted first.

"Sir, are you afraid that I won't pass the exam?" Although Xu Mosheng was confident, he still planned for the worst.

"Can't pass the exam?" Shen Junlan found it interesting to hear it. She knew Mo Sheng's talents and knowledge, and believed in Xu Yuanzhi's connections. If she couldn't pass the exam, the only reason was that the kid didn't want to study.

Thinking of this, Shen Junlan frowned and didn't answer, indicating that she had never made any assumptions about "not passing the exam".

Seeing Shen Junlan frowning, Xu Mosheng's heart tightened. She couldn't see her husband frowning. Shen Junlan usually had very little expression, either smiling or frowning. This frowning made her feel pity.

"Sir, don't frown, Mo Sheng just go, and see you at the academy after the spring exam." Xu Mosheng bid farewell to the horse, she knew that she made Shen Junlan embarrassed, she didn't want to see her embarrassment, so she pulled the rein and cruelly didn't look back, Riding away.

Shen Junlan looked at the back of Xu Mosheng's departure. They have been with each other for three years and see each other every day. Although it was a short parting, she felt unhappy. But thinking of the "goodbye", Shen Junlan lowered her head and shook her head, laughing at the student's Sensitive, she just frowned, she didn't expect her to be so afraid, she never thought that she could become a strict teacher.

Shen Junlan led the horse into the academy.

The young man who had just left for a short time seemed to have remembered something, hurriedly pulled the rein and turned his head abruptly, "Drive!" He ran back towards the academy again.

Shen Junlan had just entered the academy and hadn't walked a few steps when she heard the sound of a wooden flute outside the academy wall. The lingering sound, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, fell little by little in the courtyard and in her heart.

The sound of this flute is too familiar, it is half or six like his own strength of character, and the remaining part is the affectionate feeling of the young man outside the wall.

Shen Junlan stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked outside the wall, although she was separated by a wall, she seemed to see the young man dressed in sunset light playing the wooden flute on his horse.

After so many years, she thought that she would never know what emotion was again. This moment seemed to be different from before. Emotions that she had never felt before surged up.

After playing the song, the young man slowly put down the wooden flute, staring at the courtyard wall between the two of them, "I hope she heard it."

Then he rode his horse and whipped his whip, and the boy disappeared into the twilight.
