The Godly Turtle Lives Long, Chapter 118: Shi Ziyu (Part 1)

Fenghao Academy is indeed magnificent. Not only is the location excellent, but the interior decoration is exquisite and unique. When you walk into the academy, you can feel a sense of tranquility and peace. The academy's halls are not big and are divided into two. After summer, the halls are in

A house with clear surroundings

In the study room, you can see the clear pond and rockery outside. In winter, you move to the warm inner room. There are several pines, bamboos, and plums planted in the courtyard. They are prosperous all year round and are endless.

Everyone who comes here has the urge to read quietly.

In the pavilion, Yingping, Ye Changshan and Yiyi were sitting on one side, and opposite them was Dr. Zhang from Taiyuan University.

Zhang Zhengru still kept his promise. Before the three-day deadline was up, he sent a letter up the mountain, telling Yingping that everything had been arranged and that he could just go down the mountain directly to Fenghao Academy. After the three Yingpings got the letter, they called Ye Changshan and Yiyi.

, go down the mountain and go directly to the most famous academy in Chang'an.

The four of them had been sitting in the pavilion and waiting for a while, but the figure of Shi Ziyou, the dean of Fenghao Academy, did not appear for a long time, and even the person greeting him could not be seen.

Ye Changshan and Yiyi were fine, but Yingping was a little impatient with waiting. He looked at Zhang Zhengru sitting opposite, suppressing his displeasure and asked -

"Dr. Zhang, dean...is there something going on today?"

Zhang Zhengru was staring intently at the small long box on the stone table, and did not hear what Yingping was saying at all - this small long box was brought by Yingping, since Yingping had promised to give him the original work of Wen Junchen

, then he will definitely not break his promise! As the most famous calligrapher in the Central Plains, Mr. Wen

His original works must be stored carefully, so Zhang Zhengru concluded that this exquisite little long box must contain Mr. Wen's masterpiece! Therefore, since Yingping took it out and placed it on the table, it was as strong as a magnet.

Zhang Zhengru's eyes were firmly attracted and he never strayed away for a moment.

"Dr. Zhang—Dr. Zhang—"

Seeing that Zhang Zhengru was completely ignoring him, Yingping gently knocked on the stone table.

"What?"

Zhang Zhengru came back to his senses and reluctantly looked away from the small box.

"Dean Shi, he..."

Zhang Zhengru said with disdain on his face: "Don't panic! He is late and will be late, but he will never break the promise. Since he promised me, he will definitely come. Mr. Ying, please be patient and wait a little longer!"

Thinking of Shi Ziyou's old habit of being late, Zhang Zhengru couldn't help but have a headache. Normally, he would have just rolled up his sleeves and left, but that was not possible today.

Yingping had no choice but to continue waiting.

After half a stick of incense, a figure appeared from the end of the corridor. An old man with a long beard walked slowly and unhurriedly towards the pavilion. When he saw that the people in the pavilion had noticed him,

So he speeded up his pace a little - I said he speeded up a little, but in fact it meant that his steps were a little bigger.

"Brother Zhang! I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you suddenly think of coming to me today?" Before Shi Ziyu arrived, a voice came from the front.

"Brother Shi! You're fine."

Seeing his old friend greet him with a smile, Zhang Zhengru felt a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to stand up and be polite.

"Brother Zhang, it's been several years since we were separated from Taiyuan College. Ziyou misses him very much!"

Haha, I miss you so much? Fenghao Academy is only a cup of tea away from Taixue College, and even a walk is only a stick of incense. It seems like the world is far apart. Farewell to Taixue College? Humph! It’s better not to mention it, but to mention that time

Meeting of Taiyuan University, Zhang Zhengru

He was so angry that the Taiyuan Academy summoned all the deans of all the colleges in Chang'an City to come and study together. As a result, everyone was focused on this moment and did not take Dr. Zhang seriously at all, which made him

The dignified host is a bit disgraceful——

You are not as good as me when it comes to articles, and you are not as good as me when it comes to calligraphy. These snobs are really... That's all. Let's not mention the past. If it weren't for Mr. Wen's authentic work, you think I would humble myself and come to you to beg you.

?

Looking at his proud old enemy, Zhang Zhengru replied with a smile: "Brother Shi, I haven't seen you for several years, and I miss you too."

Shi Ziyou said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you and I were classmates for several years, and the scenes of hard study in the past are still vivid in my mind. I don't want time to fly by, and it will be decades in a flash. Come, come, come. Today, you and I have to have a good time over wine.

Let’s discuss poems and articles together, and we won’t go home until we get drunk..."

After that, he took Zhang Zhengru's hand and walked out of the pavilion, completely ignoring the three people sitting beside him.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Dr. Zhang stopped Shi Ziyou's enthusiasm. He held the back of Shi Ziyou's hand and said, "Brother Shi's good intentions are understood by Zheng Ru, but this time, Zheng Ru

Confucianism means asking each other for help."

Looking at Zhang Zhengru's pious look, Shi Ziyou couldn't believe that this old stubborn man who had always been at odds with him actually begged him for this matter! What a Zhang Zhengru, so you are here too? What a pity.

, if the palace hadn’t told you about this, I would definitely have made things difficult for you.

Although Shi Ziyou knew the purpose of Zhang Zhengru's trip very clearly, he still acted like he didn't know why and asked: "Oh? Brother Zhang, it doesn't matter if you say so!"

"Uh... hehe... here's the thing, this is Young Master Yingping." Zhang Zhengru pointed at Yingping behind him and introduced him to Shi Ziyou.

Seeing that the two old men finally spoke about themselves, Yingping quickly stood up and walked forward. He bowed respectfully and said: "Dean Shi, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Could it be that...this is Mr. Wen Junchenwen's first disciple - Young Master Yingpingying?"

Shi Ziyou pretended to be surprised and looked at Yingping, his eyes full of shock.

"Wen Junchen is indeed the master..."

"It's really you, you will be feared in the future! You will be feared in the future! Mr. Ying - it's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you!" Shizi's look of shock turned into appreciation.

Seeing the old man in front of him being so polite and complimentary, Ying Fang's resentment had long since dissipated. Unexpectedly, the old man didn't have any airs at all at this moment.

"Dean Shi thanked you!" Yingping responded with a smile.

"Why did Young Master Ying come to Fenghao this time? But it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

"Yiyi, come -"

As the saying goes, 'Those who are thick-skinned will eat enough.' Seeing Shi Ziyou say this, Yingping was not polite. He waved his hand and called his sister forward. When Yiyi came to his side, he said -

"Dean Shi, this is my sister-in-law Yiyi."

After saying that, Yingping turned to Yiyi and said, "Come, see Dean Shi quickly."

"Dean Shi, the little girl is polite." Yiyi gave a slight salute to Shi Ziyou.

"Yiyi...? This name sounds so familiar..."

Yingping and Yiyi looked puzzled at the same time. Everyone knows the name Wen Junchen's First Disciple, but how have you ever heard of it, Yiyi?

Shi Ziyou looked at the girl in front of him and looked at her carefully. After a moment, he clapped his hands together as if he was remembering something and asked, "May I ask if Miss Yiyi ever studied at Hualu Academy?"

Yiyi was a little confused and could only nodded in confusion.

"oops!"

Shi Ziyou exclaimed, then as if he had discovered a treasure, he said——

"Yes, yes! I heard that another talented girl from Chang'an studied at Hualu Academy. I didn't expect that she and Young Master Ying were actually brother and sister! Oh! Back then, the Empress and the Minister studied at our Fenghao Academy. A pair of brother and sister were both talented.

Badou's talent spread far and wide across the Central Plains, and it is still a good story. Now there is a pair of talented brothers and sisters in Chang'an! Isn't it another good story?"

Tokiko's face was full of pride. Although he was praising the Yingping brothers and sisters, he still did not forget to mention his two most proud disciples.

However, these words were very useful to Yingping. No wonder the old man was able to prosper in the upper echelons of Chang'an. Not only was he respected by his status, but his mouth was like a lotus flower. It made people feel uncomfortable after hearing it. He didn't have any aloofness of a scholar.

, on the contrary, he is as smooth as a businessman.

Facing Shi Ziyou's praise, Yingping responded: "That's because Dean Shi educates people well. You are like a candle burning yourself to light up others..."

"What the hell! Young Master Ying is so complimentary!"

"Where is the false praise? To be able to teach such pillars of the country as the mother of the country and the minister is unparalleled in the whole country!"

"Haha, don't you dare to take it seriously?"

"Dare to take it! Dare to take it! If it weren't for Dean Shi..."

"Cough-cough-"

Zhang Zhengru coughed "inopportunely". In his eyes, Shi Ziyou was just a bit all-around, and he probably didn't have much real ink in his stomach. Now that Yingping and Shi Ziyou were hugging each other, he was really looking at it.

Can't go down anymore.

Seeing Zhang Zhengru looking at him with disdain, the two of them stopped exchanging blows and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, Dean Shi, here's the thing." Yingping was the first to react. He changed the topic back on track and said, "Although my sister-in-law is not as talented as Dean Shi praised, she is still talented.

After searching all over Chang'an, I thought that Chang'an Academy was just mediocre and the teachers there were just ordinary people..."

"That's right!"

"But Dean Shi is different. Fenghao Academy is as prosperous as it is today because of Chang's changes in spring and rain, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. This is why we in the Tang Dynasty have cultivated such a empress who cares about the world and a capable minister who is good at governing the world."

"It's too praised...It's too praised..."

Although he said he was modest, Toki Ziyou's face was as smiling as the pomegranates on the table.

"So, this junior has a small request... I wonder if Dean Shi can... can he accept his roommate into the academy and teach her a lesson...?"

Seeing that the heat was almost up, Yingping revealed his purpose.

Shi Ziyou chuckled again, then looked at the brother and sister, but twirled his beard and did not answer directly.

Indeed, compared to the poor and rotten scholars in Taiyuan Academy and other academies, Ziyou was more like a businessman at this time. Fenghao Academy has become a place where the children of dignitaries know each other over the years. In addition to the current political dignitaries, some

If a businessman wants to send his children to an academy, he must spend some money. As for the price, it is naturally not low——

Just imagine, if you have an opportunity to get to know the Wang family and the Wu family, you have to fight for it even if you have to sell it!

Therefore, although this cunning old man appears to be polite on the surface, Yingping is really unsure in his heart. Just relying on his status as a disciple of Wen Junchen and Zhang Zhengru's old face may not be enough. After all, this is hundreds of thousands.

A 'business' of two cents!

So Yingping also prepared a 'rich gift'. Although it was only worth a few hundred taels, he always wanted it for the sake of face. However, at this time, he felt a little nostalgic for the 300,000 taels that he had never even had a hand addiction.

silver.

Seeing Shi Ziyou staring at him without saying a word, Yingping turned around and took the small long box on the stone table. But at this moment, Shi Ziyou suddenly opened his mouth and replied -
Chapter completed!
