Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

After lunch, Bing Xin took them to Wen Cha Zhai, made a pot of jasmine slices herself, and invited them to drink tea together.

While drinking tea, a book boy came in and told Bing Xin: "Shan Zhang, Mrs. Yong'an Hou has arrived."

Bing Xin put down the tea bowl, and said: "Quickly ask Madam to rest in the living room, I'll be there soon."

Seeing this, Duan Mingchen hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, the head of the mountain, go and do it yourself. You don't need to accompany us. Let's go and see Fang Jia later."

Bing Xin said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, you two have come from a long way, I should have accompanied you. Mrs. Yong'anhou came to visit her son, but at this moment the students have not finished school, so I can only accompany you Chat with her. After drinking tea, you two might as well go to the academy, the scenery of Wenbi Peak is worth admiring."

"It's so good, I'm waiting for that."

"Then I won't accompany you first. My maid Jian Jia will guide the two of you." Bing Xin pointed to a petite maid behind her, "Jian Jia has followed me since I was a child. The situation is also very familiar, if you need anything, just tell her."

Bing Xin apologized repeatedly, leaving Jian Jia to accompany her, and went to the living room to meet Mrs. Yong'anhou.

Looking at her slender back, Gu Huaiqing thought to himself that this Bing Xinshan leader is really good at dancing, and he treats people and things just right, making people feel like a spring breeze, she is not an easy woman!Thinking that Mrs. Yong'an Hou was a well-known arrogant lady in the capital, she actually condescended to the academy to find her, which shows that Bing Xin is very famous among the dignitaries.

Jian Jia smiled at Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing and said, "My lords, after drinking tea, Jian Jia will take you two to the academy for a walk?"

"Young lady." Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing said in unison.

Jian Jia really deserves to be the help trained by Bing Xin. She knows the situation of Jinjiang Academy very well. While leading Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing to visit, she introduces the situation of the academy.

Jinjiang Academy covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It is inconspicuous from the outside, but there is a lot of space inside.The building is simple and leisurely, with blue bricks, white walls and red glazed tiles. Looking around, the ancient style of writing makes people feel at ease.

Walking out of the east courtyard where guests are treated, there is a pool of clear and green water in front of them, which is called Qianlian Pond.This is a natural deep lake formed by the pouring and converging of waterfalls at the top of the peak, in an irregular rectangular shape.The founder of the academy had unique ingenuity. He planted lotuses all over the lake, built pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by jade banks, willows and silk, and arranged water pavilions and corridors around the lotus pond.

From Yuewei House, there is a quiet path leading to the small island in the middle of the lake.There are two small islands in the middle of the lake, one is called Xiangxueyuan, and there is Xinshui Pavilion, rockery and strange rocks, which are scattered in different places; exotic flowers and plants are intertwined into paintings.On another small island, there is a tall building, named Tianyi Pavilion, which houses tens of thousands of volumes of books, most of which are rare and rare copies in China.

The entire academy is centered on Qianlian Pond, and is divided into four courtyards in the south, east, and northwest. The south courtyard is where the mountain gate is located, and is divided into two halls, the front and the back; There are many lecture halls such as Lize Hall and Yiyong Hall for lectures; the North Campus is the dormitory for students and teachers, named Yuewei Lushe.Further north there is a wide playground for students to practice riding and archery.

The two walked along the waterside promenade around the lotus pond, from the east courtyard to the west courtyard.

It was the teaching time at this time, and the students were all in Yiyong Hall, and voices could be heard from time to time.

Jian Jia raised her index finger, gestured for silence, then led the two of them quietly to the back door of the lecture hall, and looked inside.

The students were all wearing dark clothes with a white background and a black border, sitting in a circle on the ground, with a master sitting in the center of the circle.Wearing a lun scarf on his head, a crane cloak, and a crown and belt, the master is unrestrained and uninhibited, quite a bit of the demeanor of a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Jian Jia introduced in a low voice: "This is Guan Xin, Master Guan, who is in charge of teaching Chinese studies."

Duan Mingchen asked in surprise, "Is it Guan Xin who was awarded Sanyuan and then resigned?"

"Exactly." Jian Jia's face showed a bit of pride.

It's no wonder that Jian Jia is like this, it's because Guan Xin's reputation is too loud.

Guan Xin was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was extremely intelligent since he was a child.Every word in the essays he will test, many great scholars are amazed after reading it, how can Guan Xin write such beautiful sentences in such a short period of time?

During the imperial examination, Guan Xin was also quick to answer, and his eloquence was excellent. He was praised by the late emperor as Langyuan fairy jade. He entered the Imperial Academy when he was less than 20 years old, and was later released as an official.However, the officialdom is dark, and it doesn't mean that if you are good at learning, you can make it to the top. On the contrary, because of Guan Xin's reputation, it will attract more jealousy and exclusion.Guan Xin soon became disgusted with the strife in the officialdom, so he resigned and left. This incident caused a lot of turmoil at the time. Some people said that he was arrogant and arrogant, but others praised him for being free and easy. Five buckets of rice and bowed demeanor.

After Guan Xin resigned, he focused on studying knowledge and wrote books. Although he lived in seclusion and did not seek to be famous, his reputation among the scholar class became even louder.I don't know what method Jinjiang Academy used to invite a contemporary Confucian like Guan Xin to be his master.It's no wonder that Jinjiang Academy has such a great reputation, everyone is scrambling to get in.

Gu Huaiqing and Duan Mingchen stood and watched for a while, and found that they were not giving lectures, but defending. The students were free to ask questions, and the teacher answered. Other students can also participate in the discussion. They only listened to verbal exchanges and quoted scriptures. It was very lively.

Gu Huaiqing was very surprised. In his impression, the academy should be a group of scholars who recite with shaking heads, or else it is just a quiet place to read books. Why is it so noisy like a vegetable market?

Jian Jia saw Gu Huaiqing's doubts and explained: "This is the unique teaching method of Jinjiang Academy. The students who study here have a certain foundation, at least they are also scholars. They have already been familiar with Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics. When they come here, It's more about exchanging knowledge, and the master is responsible for answering questions and explaining puzzles. Many times, knowledge is obtained in debates."

Gu Huaiqing nodded thoughtfully: "This teaching method is novel and interesting."

Duan Mingchen continued the topic just now, and also said: "I heard that the Dao Discussion Conference of Jinjiang Academy is very famous. Fifty years ago, a generation of distinguished scholars Liu Qingxi rushed to Jinjiang Academy from Fuzhou to meet with his master and famous scholar here. Zhu Shan talked about literature and Taoism. The two of them discussed Taoism in Yiyong Hall, and they did not leave the forum for three days. There are more than 50 scholars, and they are all intoxicated."

Gu Huaiqing was fascinated when he heard it, and sighed: "That must be a literary feast that has never been seen before or since!"

"That's right, the conversation between the two great writers is still very exciting to think about! It is said that the entire Lize Hall was so crowded that some people were so reluctant to leave, and even brought their bedding to play on the floor here!" Jian Jia also laughed.

Gu Huaiqing looked at Duan Mingchen for a while, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Duan really knows a lot! Mr. Duan, who is very knowledgeable, why didn't you study literature and take the imperial examination?"

"I also know anecdotes about famous people, how can I call it profound knowledge?" Duan Mingchen paused, and then said, "It's not that I haven't thought about the road to the imperial examination, but first, I am more talented in martial arts, and second, I am more talented in martial arts. Even if I can pass the imperial examination and enter the Imperial Academy, I have to work through my qualifications slowly. Only when I am old can I have the opportunity to be an official, serve the country, and do things for the people. But it is not the case for a military officer. Even if I am young, as long as I have the opportunity Ability can take responsibility, no matter how high or low the official position is, everyone has the opportunity to serve the country and the people and realize their ambitions."

Gu Huaiqing thinks about it, it is indeed the case. There are currently five cabinet scholars, and the youngest is in his 40s.At such a young age as Duan Mingchen, relying on his military merits to become an official to the third rank, civilian officials don't even think about it.

"Brother Duan has such great ambitions, he must have a bright future!" Gu Huaiqing joked with a smile.

Duan Mingchen laughed and said: "Brother Yu is too modest, right? Brother Yu is still practicing martial arts with Master at your age. Your future achievements must be higher than mine!"

What Duan Mingchen said was also true. Gu Huaiqing became the second in command of the East Factory when he was not yet a weak crown, and it is unique. Compared with others who took the imperial examinations in ten years, being an eunuch is really a shortcut to success, but the price paid is also extremely high. That's it.

The two were joking with each other, followed Jian Jia out of Yiyong Hall, and came to the side of the lotus pond.

There was a crisp bell ringing in the ear, approaching, the students filed out, it turned out that the class was over.

Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing sat on the boulder beside the lotus pond. There were several cherry blossom trees beside the pond, and the snow-white delicate flowers were blooming in full bloom.The students talked and laughed as they passed under the cherry blossom trees and walked among the colorful fallen leaves.The soft spring breeze rolled up the corners of the white deep clothes, and the ink-colored scarves fluttered behind their heads. The young faces and carefree laughter of the students were particularly moving in the afternoon sun.

Although Duan Mingchen never regretted giving up literature and martial arts, but under such a sunny and sunny day, seeing the students laughing and playing without worries, he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Gu Huaiqing's gaze fell on the group of students. Although the students were all wearing dark clothes of the same style and color, there were two young men who stood out from the crowd and were particularly eye-catching.

One of them is tall and tall, full of aristocratic air, with a pair of emerald chilong jade rings hanging around his waist, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. Divided into a romantic temperament.For some reason, Gu Huaiqing always felt that this young man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had met him.

The young man standing next to him has a beautiful face, bright eyes like water, red lips and white teeth, beautiful facial features, and skin that is more delicate and fresh than a woman's. He is really a rare beautiful boy.When it comes to the beauty of appearance, few people can surpass Gu Huaiqing, but Gu Huaiqing's beauty is sharp and eye-catching, like a bright moon in the sky, but it doesn't make people feel feminine, but this beautiful boy has a bit of androgynous taste.

The two walked side by side, very close to each other, chuckling and whispering, with a hint of intimacy between their expressions.

Seeing that Gu Huaiqing was staring at the two of them intently, Jian Jia introduced in a low voice: "These two students are the best of this class, the taller one is Prince An's son Xiao Jue, and the student next to him is Wang Zi Yu, who came from a poor family, is extremely talented and studies hard. Although the two have different identities, they play very well."

It turned out to be Prince An's son, Gu Huaiqing was relieved, he had met Prince An several times in the palace, Xiao Jue did look somewhat similar to Prince An, no wonder he felt familiar.

When Jian Jia introduced it to Gu Huaiqing, Duan Mingchen naturally listened to it, but he had another thought in his heart.King An's fief is far away in Suzhou, but he sent his son to such a far place to study.It should be noted that as a hereditary vassal king, Prince An's son will inherit the throne in the future and does not need to take the imperial examination. Is it really so simple just to study?
