Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Nanshan Academy was about a hundred miles away from the county government. Xie Gui bought enough, so he went directly to the academy.

For this reason, Feng Ya is still not very happy, feeling that the neighbors in the neighborhood have not seen enough envious expressions.

When he rented this place with his son back then, he suffered a lot of trouble and eyes.Feng Ya's heart is always itchy even though the revenge has not been reported.

Xie Gui had trouble with his legs and feet, so the academy made an exception to keep Feng Ya, while the rest of the freshmen, no matter what their backgrounds, were only allowed to enter.

There are not many students in the academy, usually two people share a courtyard, Xie Gui arrived early and chose a quiet room, this time Fengya was no exception, sleeping in a small side room.

In his previous life, he won the first prize, and the gentlemen gave him a whole set of courtyards, so he never lived with anyone.And on the second day of his stay, someone lived in the room next to him, but it was a coincidence that he hadn't met the other party for several days, and he didn't even know the other party's name.

The day after tomorrow is the ninth day of March, which is the day for the freshmen to answer their lectures. The rest of the students turn on the lights to read at night, and the other room is also lit, but Xie Gui washes and changes early, which makes Feng Ya worry.

Xie Gui comforted Fengya with a few words, and was about to fall asleep, when there was another strange rustling sound outside the yard.Feng Ya was furious, and wanted to go out to find the other party to reason with, but was held down by Xie Gui: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

About four or five days ago, every time Xie Gui fell asleep, there would be strange noises outside the yard, such as gongs, drums or strange calls.At the beginning, Fengya went out to look at it, but she couldn't catch the culprit.

No one answered in the yard, the noise outside was getting louder and louder, Feng Ya kept yelling to go out and catch the current ones, but Xie Gui knew it would be useless to catch them, not to mention who did it, he already knew who it was.

Xie Gui could not hold back his temper and let the quarrel outside.Feng Ya was so angry that she hopped her feet, and suddenly heard Xie Gui say: "Listen."

Amidst the noise, it seemed that someone pushed the door impatiently and walked straight towards the courtyard gate.Xie Gui opened a crack in the window and saw a person squatting by the courtyard door, as if he was playing with something.After that, a small black figure climbed over the wall, and there was a sharp cracking sound, and the exclamation of several teenagers, and then it fell completely silent.

Xie Gui smiled slightly.

The man cleaned up the mess outside the door, turned around and walked back.He seemed to have seen Xie Gui, he paused, and said in a muffled voice, "I provoked it myself, I will solve it myself."

The door next door was closed again, Xie Gui heard the man's hoarse voice, smiled lightly and blew on the lamp.

It's time for an answer.The freshman's answer in the academy is related to which teacher to join.It doesn't matter if the student is the last in the selection test, as long as the answer is in the limelight and the eyes are close, he can still be favored by the dean.

Waking up early in the morning, Fengya waited on Xie Gui to change his clothes and wash up, before heading to the academy's commuter residence.

The residence is located in a quiet place, and it is specially used as a place for freshmen to answer questions.Turning around a few clumps of bamboo, the atrium is open and leads directly to the main hall.

Xie Gui set off early, but Feng Ya was afraid that he would be in a wheelchair and bump him if he walked too fast, and would fall behind if he walked slower.

Those who can enter the academy are not ordinary people.The academy only has four years of study, and after four years, many students who have successfully completed their studies will choose to leave.But if you want to stay and study hard, the academy will not drive you away.

But that is a minority after all.According to the biennial selection test, there are very few seniors who can still meet the freshmen.Feng Ya heard the muffled voices in the main hall, and knew that most of the people waiting in front were the academy masters, so she immediately became cautious in her movements.

The wheelchair was too conspicuous, Xie Gui asked Fengya to wait outside, and he walked into the hall slowly while leaning on the door and wall.

The set time has not yet arrived, but the people are almost here.A few people paid a little attention to Xie Gui, who arrived later, and turned their eyes away.

Xie Gui stood quietly behind the freshman, noticed a gaze that he hadn't looked away for a long time, smiled lightly, and looked back impartially.

Young Master Qian, Qian Yizhi.

Qian Yizhi is the old son of the Qian family.This young master is the tyrant of the county government, a role that everyone can't avoid.Xie Gui had a quarrel with him in his previous life, and in this life he hurt his legs because of the dispute.

As for why the young master Qian, who didn't pass the exam, appeared in the academy, it is not known.

When Xie Gui looked back, Qian Yizhi looked annoyed, his body leaned back slightly, revealing the scar on his forehead.

The scar is very new, and it looks like it was left in the past two days.Qian Yizhi said a word to him silently, then gave him a hard look before turning back.

Wait for me.

Qian Yizhi is not a person who can stand on the stage, he is lazy, ignorant, and he didn't cause much trouble in his previous life. Xie Gui didn't take his threats seriously at all.

The main hall was not big, and the six gentlemen present had quietly noticed the reactions of the freshmen. The silent conversation between Xie Gui and Qian Yizhi naturally couldn't escape the six pairs of eyes.

The middle-aged man in white stroked his beard, looked away slightly, and said to the old man in green shirt next to him, "Which one are you looking at?"

The old man in the green shirt asked back: "Which one do you like?"

The middle-aged man chuckled: "Don't say who you like, but who you don't like."

The old man in blue sneered: "Whoever recruits will take away, it's really embarrassing." Then he winked in Qian Yizhi's direction.

Middle-aged men understand.Although he didn't know who Xie Gui was, he recognized Qian Yizhi who came in through the door.They could all see Qian Yizhi's provocation clearly, but they didn't say anything about it.

In their eyes, Qian Yizhi is not qualified to go through Nanshan Academy's career.

Including the sudden emergence of Qian Yizhi, there are 11 new students in total.There are more than ten people standing behind the gentlemen, probably staying in the academy to study hard.

Xie Gui glanced around and found that there were actually eight chairs prepared for the gentlemen.

In his previous life, he got the first place in the examination because he was very energetic and never noticed how many chairs there were.The six gentlemen have already taken their seats. Apart from the one reserved for the dean, there is still one empty chair. Who is it reserved for?

The middle-aged man noticed Xie Gui's gaze, stroked his beard a few more times, and asked the old man in the green shirt, "Old Monster Han isn't coming yet?"

The old man in green shirt had a strange expression: "Who knows."

While everyone was talking in low voices, a fat middle-aged man walked in slowly with two book boys.More than a dozen senior students cupped their hands and saluted, and the six gentlemen also saluted one after another, but they didn't stand up.

Xie Gui stared at the middle-aged man who was about to take his seat, feeling filled with emotion.

In his previous life, he never revealed his background when he entered the academy, and the dean treated him as if he was his own son. Even after he became an official, he used his connections to support him vigorously.When he finally died of injustice in the prison, he never thought that there would be a day when he would see the dean again.

The dean's surname is Zuo, and there is one inscription for each name. According to the custom in the academy, he is honored as Mr. Zuo Da.

After everyone had seen the ceremony, Mr. Zuo Da turned around a little and said a few polite words.He looked around, raised his brows when he saw the empty chair, and asked in a low voice to the old man in green shirt next to him: "Mr. Han hasn't arrived yet?"

After being asked twice, the old man in blue was a little impatient: "I probably slept to death among the puppets."

The voice of the old man in blue was so high that almost everyone present could hear it.Mr. Zuo Da was a little embarrassed, the freshmen looked different, but Xie Gui was taken aback and remembered.

Nanshan Academy does not teach elementary studies, does not uniformly explain scriptures and classics, and the content taught by each teacher is also different. What can be learned depends on the students' own learning and comprehension.

Among the gentlemen who open their mouths to discuss the way of sages, there is a Mr. Han who only teaches things that are "unreachable by ordinary people".

This was said by Mr. Zuo Da in his previous life.The so-called "unreachable by mortals" refers to the formation of troops, astrological changes, strange stories from ancient and modern times, mechanism puppets and so on.

When others mention Mr. Han, they mostly keep them at a respectful distance.Xie Gui felt that if he could learn all the skills of Mr. Han, he could not be regarded as a genius born in the world.

Xie Gui remembered that Mr. Han accepted a disciple in his previous life, and later the disciple died for no apparent reason. Mr. Han was deeply shocked. Before he finished his studies, he bid farewell to the academy and disappeared.

The matter of Mr. Han just flashed through his mind.Xie Gui didn't care, and focused all his attention on Mr. Zuo Da.

Mr. Zuo Da is the person who has the closest connection with the imperial court in the entire academy. If the students of the academy want to have a smooth career, it is the most convenient way to worship under Mr. Da.

And, if he remembers correctly, there will be an accident four years from now.

The chaos started in the southeast and soon spread across the north and south, shaking the government and the public.The entire southeast area was almost completely evacuated, and it was precisely because of this that he gained the limelight and got Feng Yuan's attention.

To overthrow Feng Yuan and keep him from turning over, he must seize this opportunity to enter the court on the recommendation of Mr. Zuo Da and meet Feng Yuan again.

Thinking of seeing Feng Yuan again, Xie Gui's heart shuddered, feeling somewhat inexplicably excited.

After the greetings, Mr. Han signaled two bookboys to come forward and distribute the papers to the eleven freshmen.

Then he stroked his beard and smiled: "This is today's exam question."

The freshmen had different expressions, especially Qian Yizhi's expression was the most exaggerated.Xie Gui looked at the paper for a while, the most calm.

One couldn't hold back and asked: "Mr. Da, this exam question...how should I answer it?"

Mr. Zuo Da laughed, "You can answer whatever you want, it's all up to you." Then he told the book boy, "Go and bring some tea. Gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, and you must be thirsty."

The freshmen looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to speak.A person came forward, Mr. Zuo Da didn't even bring up the tea, he said in surprise: "You answered..."

Before the words fell, the man nodded and unfolded the paper in his hand.

In a short period of time, a piece of paper has changed shape in his hands.The white horse raised its hooves in its palm, as if it was about to gallop.

The gentlemen nodded one after another, waiting for Mr. Big to speak.Mr. Zuo Da stroked his beard and nodded, and asked him: "Is there any other trick?"

When Mr. Da said "Flower", the man frowned, because his complexion was dark and he couldn't tell.Xie Gui recognized that this person was helped by the same hospital last night, and subconsciously took a look at Qian Yizhi.

The man nodded, and brushed his fingers over the steed. The color of the steed gradually darkened, and it turned into a black fine horse, even the expression was different.

Amidst the admiration, the man said with a blank expression, "Students are willing to worship Mr. Han."

It is a common practice in the academy that both parties must be present during the teacher apprenticeship. Mr. Zuo Da sent Shutong to invite Mr. Han, and asked the other freshmen: "Is there anything else you have thought about?"

The implication is self-evident, and freshmen are uneasy.A dull-looking one stood up scratching the back of his head, folded the white paper in half, made it into the shape of a book, and said in a low voice, "The student thought that it was a strict father, a loving mother, who was eagerly looking forward to it."

The gentlemen nodded again, but still did not comment.Afterwards, several people opened their mouths one after another, some said the words of the sages, some said that the world is the best way, they all opened their mouths at once, only Qian Yizhi and Xie Gui were left.

Qian Yizhi is an embroidered pillow and a straw bag, and all his father's previous instructions have been left behind.He looked at Mr. Da proudly, crumpled up the white paper, and put it in his sleeve.

Does this mean no answer?

Everyone present knew who he was looking at.Mr. Zuo Da's eyelids twitched, relying on years of self-cultivation, he didn't drop the tea on the ground.

At the beginning, he and the master of the Qian family had made a good agreement. Qian Yizhi could study with him in the academy, but he was not considered a formal student.When Qian Yizhi came like this, his old face couldn't bear immediately.

The academy is not a student who has no experience, but such students are usually very low-key and never cause trouble.When you leave the academy, you only say that you are a student of the academy, not a certain student of the academy.

The middle-aged man in white and the old man in blue looked at each other with different expressions.

Most of the students looking for a way came in through Mr. Zuo Da. This time, Mr. Da was pecked at the eye after hunting eagles all day long.

However, in this way, only Xie Gui was left.

The person who was the finalist must have some skills, and the rest of the students were thankful that they spoke early, but they didn't know how to thank them, but they just looked forward to their final answer.

Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he looks like a young man with a steady expression and movement, which won the praise of the gentlemen.

In the silence, Xie Gui did not rush, and folded a large piece of white paper back and forth, until it was the size of a folding fan, and held it lightly in his palm.Afterwards, it unfolded piece by piece and recovered into a whole piece.

His movements had a peculiar soothing power, and everyone was very curious, but they were too embarrassed to disturb them.Qian Yizhi wanted to intervene to make trouble, but when he raised his head, Mr. Zuo Da gave him two ocular knives, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong.

He attracted all eyes, the young man smoothed the creases slightly with his thin and clean hands, and then looked at the gentlemen at the same level.The eyes are firm, shining like stars.

"It's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."
