Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

Taixue is the old site of the previous dynasty. Several generations of emperors in my dynasty have studied here, so Taixue not only has beautiful scenery, but also covers a large area.

There are only a hundred students who can enter Taixue every year, and most of them are noble youths in the capital.In Taixue, the princes who are waiting for the hereditary title of Marquis are walking everywhere. Before I went to Beijing, although my father slapped me, he privately asked his attendants to tell me to be careful in Taixue so that no one would offend me. I am not guilty.

Even before the third uncle personally sent us to the Taixue, he said earnestly that the young masters and sons in the capital all grew up arrogantly and willfully.

Lin Chongtan reacted lightly to this, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, but I was very nervous.In addition to students from the Taixue family like us, there are also children from the Tian family, such as the prince.

It is said that the prince is only four years older than us, and he is now studying in Taixue.

The students of the Taixue usually live in the dormitory, even the royal family and nobles are unavoidable, except for the few princes of the Tian family.Taixue's off-mu is on January [-]th, students are allowed to go home to visit relatives, which is more generous than the holiday that my elder brother took to study in Hanshan Academy.

There was no need to go to class on the day of the report, and the dormitory I allocated was not in the same place as Lin Chongtan, nor was the dormitory.There are too many credits for upper house, inner house, and outer house. It stands to reason that Lin Chongtan and I are newcomers and should both be studying in the outer house, but I didn’t expect that Lin Chongtan’s name on the red list was written in the list of upper houses.

And because the age will be written next to the name, the upper house is full of young people who have reached the crown, and the 16-year-old Lin Chongtan is very conspicuous.

Just looking at the red list, I heard several people talking.

"Lin Chongtan? Who is this? I've never heard of this name."

"It can't be a freshman, right? Where do freshmen come from so powerful?"

"It turns out that you don't know about Lin Chongtan. Lin Chongtan is Mr. Daoqing's closed disciple, the second son of the Gusu Lin family's direct line. He was already known as a child prodigy at the age of three, and he is known as the pride of Gusu."

"The pride of Gusu? I want to see if this child prodigy is worthy of his name."

I heard them talking a lot, dragging Liangji out of the crowd, Liangji was still stupid, "Master Chun, they are talking about the second young master."

As soon as Lin Chongtan entered Taixue, he was invited away by the doctor of Taixue and did not stay with me.I'm also glad I don't have to be with him.

It's not a peacock, why should it be so eye-catching.

"Shut up." I said to Liangji, "Let's find our school dormitory."

Liangji let out an oh, and followed me honestly.

Naturally, the dormitory is not as comfortable as the courtyard at home, but it is not bad. There is an apricot tree in front of my window.Now is the season of apricot blossoms, the snow is powdery, and the quiet fragrance is blown into the window by the wind.

I saw this apricot tree, and I was in a good mood. Together with Liangji, I moved the desk under this window, and planned to sit here and practice calligraphy and reading on weekdays.

While packing up, I heard noise outside.

"Damn it, my father sent me to study so early. I'm not even allowed to bring the servants with me. I'm only allowed to bring the boys, and there are at most two boys. Usually there are eight servant girls in my room." , How do the two bookboys serve me? What a broken house, it smells musty! My young master is so mad! You, go back and tell my father that I don’t want to study here, and send someone to pick me up.”

The other person's voice seemed very cautious, "Young master, the master said... you can't go back..."

Before the words fell, a muffled voice sounded.

"I want you to go, what to do with so much nonsense!"

The movement outside made me lie on the table and poke my head out of the window. Suddenly, I saw a young man in brocade clothes punching and kicking a man dressed as a book boy. I didn’t dare to make the sound of being beaten, let alone move. He stood there in a daze and was beaten.

The young man in brocade clothes might feel tired from beating his hands, so he stopped halfway, looked around, and strode towards the apricot blossom tree.He broke off a branch, and then went back to continue punishing people.When he turned around, his eyes suddenly met with me who hadn't had time to shrink back.

I was actually taken aback by the scene in front of me, and the scene of being beaten by Fan Wu appeared in my mind, and I froze in place before I knew it, until I was discovered by the young man in brocade clothes.

When the young man in brocade clothes saw me, he seemed to be stunned for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you looking at?"

I didn't dare to answer, so I quickly backed away, thinking that I was unlucky. I lived next to a neighbor with such a bad temper. I don't know what kind of character the one on the right is. I hope it is a good match.

I went to bed early this day because I was going to class tomorrow, but the left side was not quiet all the time. I heard someone screaming and crying. It was heart-piercing. ?

I had guesses in my heart, but I didn't dare to get up to look, I just covered my head with the quilt and fell asleep.

I study in a foreign house, which has the largest number of students, because most of them are newcomers, and the classics teachers who teach our homework treat us well.

Those who can come to Taixue to study are all excellent except for those who come from high families. Therefore, the progress of teaching classics is much faster than teaching my wife. For example, I have to memorize two long essays a day and practice calligraphy. , painting, learning piano, etc.

Classical scholars also said that this is already very slow, like Shangshe, which is taught by a doctor of Taixue and taught by Taifu himself.They have higher requirements on the students. For example, in terms of reciting, the students in the foreign house memorize at least ten long essays a day.

I... I can't even memorize one article now. The articles are all cryptic and profound.

Because I didn't want to be left behind, I had to stay up late every day to study.Even so, the classics are full of criticism to me.On this day, because I didn't sleep well for a long time, I couldn't help but fell asleep in class.

"Lin Chundi!"

A yell woke me up.

I opened my eyes and met Shangdianxue's calm face.I knew that I was going to suffer, so I sat up straight immediately, but it was too late, the classics asked me to stand up and recite the article I learned yesterday. I tried to recite a dozen sentences, but I couldn't go on.

Last night I couldn't hold back and fell asleep. When I came here this morning, I thought that maybe the Classical Academy would not make me recite the essays. I didn't know that the leak in the house happened to be raining all night.

Dianxue was even angrier, blowing his beard and staring at me, he picked up the ruler, I stretched out my hand with trembling fingers.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

After ten strokes in a row, "You people, don't take Taixue as your home. I will not spoil you if you are lazy and slippery! Lin Chundi, go out and stand for punishment!"

The capital is gradually getting warmer, and the spring breeze is fragrant, like soft feathers touching the cheeks.The palms of my curled hands were hot, and so was my face.I don't know how long it took, along with the sound of Lang Lang reading, someone stepped on the corridor.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the white silk dress, like a layer of light shining on it, I quickly lowered my head, not wanting visitors to see me standing as punishment.Although I don't know who it is.

"Little flute?"

The sound startled me.

Why is it Lin Chongtan?

"Why are you standing outside?" He asked again.

I didn't want him to see my jokes any more, so I could only raise my head, "Don't worry about it, you go."

In fact, I haven't seen Lin Chongtan for quite a few days. Since he entered Taixue, he has studied in Shangshe, and he doesn't live with me.He asked his book boy to deliver things several times, such as paper, pens and inkstones, as well as pastries.

Long time no see, Lin Chongtan seems to be more beautiful and taller than before.He stood in front of me, with a slender neck like a crane's neck that was exposed outside the placket, slightly lowered his head to ask, his long eyelashes naturally drooped, half-covered his eyes, even I was a little dazed for a moment, so that he grabbed my hand, None of them reacted.

Lin Zhongtan opened my hand, and when he saw the obvious red and swollen ruler mark on the palm of his hand, he frowned slightly, "Why is the classics punished so severely? I will ask Bai Chi to deliver the medicine to you later."

I didn't want to cry, but for some reason, my eyes became more and more sore.

The classics say that I am lazy and slippery, but I have really worked hard. It is because my talent is not as good as others, and I am extremely stupid.

When Lin Chongtan raised his eyes to see my face clearly, he showed a comforting smile, "Okay, don't cry, tell me why Dianxue punished you?"

The more he told me not to cry, the more I couldn't help it.I was afraid that the students inside would hear my crying, so I could only grit my teeth and endure it, and then whispered: "I... I fell asleep in class, and I couldn't recite the books. Those articles are too..."

I stopped and couldn't continue.

Lin Chongtan already understood, "If you can't recite it, it may be because you didn't understand the meaning of the article. How about it, come to me every day at four o'clock in the afternoon."

At this time, the voice of Dianxue came from inside, "Who is talking outside?!"

The sound of footsteps came in a hurry, I quickly withdrew my hand and signaled Lin Chongtan to go with my eyes, but it was too late, Dianxue had already seen Lin Chongtan.

Lin Chongtan was bumped into by Dianxue, still unhurried, and saluted Dianxue, "Disciple Lin Chongtan has met Li Dianxue."

Li Dianxue's eyes turned around Lin Chongtan a few times, and a smile appeared on his usually gloomy face at this moment, "So you are Lin Chongtan. I heard that all the doctors in Shangshe are full of praise for you. Come in, come in." , I just published an upper couplet, no one can match it, you try it."

Lin Chongtan generously followed Li Dianxue into the door, but before entering the door, he stopped again, looked back at me, and said hesitantly: "Li Dianxue, he..."

Li Dianxue gave me a disgusted look, "Forget it, you come in too and see how Lin Chongtan answers."

I stood under this corridor for a long time, but Li Dianxue never asked me to go in, but now because of the word Lin Chongtan, he let go.

What happened next in the classroom, I don’t remember at all, I only know the name Lin Chongtan and it was often mentioned by Li Dianxue, he asked us to learn from Lin Chongtan.

There is a natural barrier between me and Lin Chongtan.

At this moment, I was still not convinced, and I was still holding my breath, unwilling to take the initiative to find Lin Chongtan and ask him to help me.But not long after, I still bowed my head.

I was fined to stand again.

Lin Chongtan didn't show any surprise when he saw that it took me many days to come to him. He put down his pen and asked me which article I learned today.

His lectures are actually easier to understand than those of the classics.With his help, I recited the articles significantly faster, and was once praised by Li Dianxue.

"I've been working hard recently."

Li Dianxue's praise made me overjoyed. I took a bath early that day and went to find Lin Chongtan ahead of time with the scroll, but Lin Chongtan was not there.

"Where did your young master go?" I asked Lin Chongtan's two bookboys.

The book boys looked at each other, and Bai Chi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qingqiu next to him.

"Master, he went for a walk."

Lie, if you take a walk, why didn't you say that they have something to hide from me when I first asked.I walked into Lin Chongtan's room, ready to wait for Lin Chongtan to come back and ask him directly.
