"Brother Xian, why are you so impatient? In fact, you only needed to stay for two more days, and all the gentlemen sent people to find you. The one who spoke most highly of you was Mr. Min Zhen, who said you were a genius. The strangest comment was
Mr. Hai, I say you are just a piece of stinky tofu and you smell bad, but you really have to taste it with your own mouth. It is probably very fragrant. I think the most sincere person to recruit you is Mr. Zhou Dunyi. He directly plans to let you into his house.
Those who are ordinary disciples are not like other gentlemen who have to undergo three months of assessment."
The status of auditors in Donglin Academy is the lowest, followed by outer disciples, ordinary (inner) disciples, then disciples who enter the family, and finally the disciples who have to pass on the mantle. Take the current university education system as an example, it is adult education.
,General undergraduate, graduate, doctorate...
As soon as he saw Sun Xiang's face, Lin Fengjin knew that he must have bribed the waiter in the shop beforehand, saying that he would come and report him as soon as he saw him. He had a close friendship with him, but he was so concerned about his whereabouts. There must be someone.
It's good. This guy is the leader of the outer disciples at this time. It's not difficult to become an ordinary disciple. What makes him so worried is that he should be a disciple. So Lin Fengjin laughed and looked around.
Talk to him.
Sun Xiang was not in a hurry, so he mentioned the reason for leaving and suddenly said:
"By the way, it seems that the Snake-Eating Army also fought fiercely with people outside the Pass. You are also outside the Pass. Have you heard any news? And I only found out when I came back a few days ago that Mr. Jiuyuan and Yang Mingzhen's disciples
Several Yibo disciples have died! Normally, when one Yibo disciple dies, the whole academy is shaken, and the army is called upon to call for punishment. This time, there are at least seven or eight Yibo disciples who died!"
Lin Fengjin secretly said that Brother not only knew some rumors, but also knew the most detailed experiences clearly, so he smiled and changed the topic.
"I really don't know that so many things have happened since I left. Which family does Brother Sun think I should be a disciple of?"
But just as Sun Xiang was about to answer, he heard a knock on the door outside. Another visitor came! Lin Fengjin couldn't help but laugh:
"Have I become a popular person?"
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Fengjin realized that it was Sima Fang and Gu Xian who came to visit together. After some greetings, Sima Fang and Gu Xian were obviously very calm. After some exchanges of greetings, the two of them realized that
If there are other people present, if it is inconvenient to talk about the affairs of the academy, they will definitely turn to topics that are more convenient to talk about. It is nothing more than where Lin Fengjin left in a hurry some time ago, the local customs and so on.
how.
At this time, Lin Fengjin mentioned that he hadn't had dinner yet. Gu Xian invited everyone to go with him, saying that it happened to be his third brother Gu Tong who passed the make-up exam today and survived the catastrophe. He happened to buy it in the Huibin Building.
It was a banquet, and I happened to go there to eat at a big restaurant.
Lin Fengjin didn't want to go at first, but when he heard Sun Xiang say that the proprietor behind the Huibin Building was the head of the Gu family, his heart moved and he couldn't help but want to ask some questions about doing business in this place.
Qiao, as for his relationship with Gu Xian, the boss should know everything about it.
Sun Xiang had already brought the message to Lin Fengjin, and he also wanted to socialize, so he encouraged the four of them and set off in a hurry. When they got downstairs, Lin Fengjin saw them staying in place.
What were you waiting for? After a while, I saw the servant next to me leading the horse over. At this time, I realized that the place I wanted to go was quite far away, and I had to ride a horse.
At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty promoted martial arts, and Donglin Academy definitely did not want to cultivate a group of industrious bookworms. It focused on being a general and a prime minister, so students were not prohibited from raising horses and riding horses. However, their words and deeds must be well-founded, such as running around in the city. If a bully like Ma behaves like this, even if he does not hurt anyone, he will be demoted. For example, if a disciple is demoted to a disciple, and a disciple is demoted to an outside disciple, if he hurts someone, he will be kicked out of the door directly. He will also be sent to an official to be dealt with strictly according to the law. .
Raising a horse in this era is not a simple matter. If you are a poor family, you have to devote all your efforts to support it. To put it bluntly, it is almost equivalent to a private car. And students in the academy have private horses. There are not too many. So riding a horse in the academy is actually a very honorable thing.
Lin Fengjin watched the three men leading the horses out, but he just spread his hands and smiled bitterly. Sun Xiang and Sima Fang knew that his family was well-off, so they did not doubt that he did not have a mount and said curiously:
"What are you doing standing here? Is your horse sick?"
Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"I'm not sick, but it would be too ostentatious to ride my horse to a class reunion. Can you lend me one?"
When the three of them heard what he said, their curiosity suddenly rose. Men are always full of curiosity and possessiveness towards rideable creatures/tools (such as motorcycles, etc.), and they immediately clamored to see what happened. Lin Fengjin had no choice but to get the horse tag from the waiter and pulled out the horse Tong Yun San from the back fence.
This horse has just been carefully washed by the groom, and has eaten good eggs, soybeans and fodder. Well, in current terms, it is as if a big killer like this Maserati cut has just been polished, waxed and filled with oil. At its best, it shocked the whole audience as soon as it was pulled out.
Although Gu Xian's family is considered to be a prominent official in the Northern Qi court, the horse he rides is also considered a good horse. To compare it with a car, it is almost the same level as an Audi A6, Mercedes Benz, E, and BMW 5 Series. However, after comparing goods like this, , and immediately he could only shake his head and sigh.
Sun Xiang is a horse lover. When he saw Lin Fengjin's Tongyunsan, his eyes were shining. He also knew that this thing was probably not for sale, so he immediately said:
"Brother Lin, if you don't want to show off, why don't you give me a ride? Although my poor horse is not as good as yours, it is still quite docile. Let's switch rides."
Lin Fengjin is used to riding Mr. Lan. By the way, if a mount of the level of Mr. Lan is applied to the real-life template, it can almost be equated with luxury goods such as the private jet Gulfstream G650. So these things don't matter, just smile and nod.
Sun Xiang was itching unbearably. After getting on the horse, he only felt his legs pinched. Tong Yun San had just eaten and was about to eat. When he was about to eat, he immediately ran out with flying hooves. Sun Xiang was so excited that he shouted The one went straight ahead.
Sima Fang sighed and said:
"If Sun Xiang were more mature, he would have entered the inner court last year."
Lin Fengjin said disapprovingly:
"It's natural to be a true person. Brother Sima is only 20 years old. Why do you speak so old-fashioned?"
Gu Xian laughed loudly after hearing this. It turned out that Hua Duo was describing a woman. Lin Fengjin made such a joke, and Sima Fang also laughed. The three of them got on their horses and passed slowly, but they saw that Sun Xiang could no longer even see his shadow.
By the way, the Huibin Building is located in the night market area of Donglin Academy. It is also very prosperous. You can guess that it is the bar and entertainment street around the university town. It is the beginning of the lanterns, although it is not the Lantern Festival.
, but the shops here are also trying their best to attract customers. They put up stalls of lanterns at the door, which is better than the neon advertisements of later generations.
The lanterns on the lamp shed are even more dazzling. Generally speaking, they can be roughly divided into chandeliers, pedestal lamps, wall lamps, and lanterns. The materials and methods used to tie the lamps are also various, with bamboo, damask, silk, and Ming lanterns being mostly used.
Balls, jade pendants, silk fringes, feathers, shells and other materials are tied, pasted, braided, embroidered, carved, and combined with paper-cutting, calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc. It can be said that the Lantern Festival in many places is not as colorful as here.
It also made the street shine like daylight.
Sun Xiang rode his horse all the way, enjoying the rare excitement of speed. However, there were so many people here that he could only slow down his speed. However, in terms of speed, Sun Xiang was only eight points, but his appearance was quite good.
At 9:50, the whole body is covered with snow, and the feet are stepping on the fire cloud. You can see it clearly under the lamp. Compared with the other horses, they are obviously a head taller. They have made enough for Sun Xiang.
Return rate.
At this time, a group of people suddenly emerged from more than ten feet away. The leader saw Sun Xiang riding a horse in the crowd. His eyes suddenly lit up and he praised:
"What a fine horse."
Someone next to me said:
"Senior Brother Diao, this is Sun Xiang from the outer sect. I don't know where he got such a good horse."
Brother Diao said:
"Oh? So this person is Sun Xiang? It is said that he will pass the inner sect's assessment this year?"
The person next to him immediately heard the song and understood its elegant meaning:
"Yes, the first step to enter the inner sect is to accept the assessment of three inner sect disciples. This time it seems that it is our turn to assess the disciples."
Another person said:
"No matter what the assessment is, it's rare for our young prince to like his things. What's the value of giving them here to play with for a few months?"
The identity of Senior Brother Diao turned out to be a prince! Although in Donglin Academy, teachers are strictly prohibited from using their family background to show off, and they all treat everyone equally, but no matter what, a prominent family background will definitely have an impact.
, this is also unavoidable. Just like poor students often do not study well and make excellent students happy with their teachers.
Senior Brother Diao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
But his eyes were fixed on the "tongyunsan" under Sun Xiang's crotch until Sun Xiang disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, the reception building was already brightly lit and crowded. The waiter was already too busy to do anything. He had to greet here and entertain there. At the same time, there was a large group of people standing at the entrance of the building, or they were waiting for a seat.
