When Song Mu saw the person coming, he was also shocked. The elegant academic master had already walked in and sat down on the chair next to him, inviting Song Mu to sit down with him.
Song Mu suddenly became a little cautious, straightening his back and looking at the other person. But when He Shilin saw Song Mu's appearance, he smiled and then spoke.
"I came to you because of Huangfu Fengming, oh no, your name should be Tao Fengming now."
When Song Mu heard what the other party said, he was also surprised at the moment, but he didn't know how to take over what the other party said, so he could only stare at the other party with a smile.
After He Shilin took a sip of tea, he looked at Song Mu and asked with some emotion.
"Is he okay?"
Song Mu was stunned and nodded quickly.
"Teacher is still in good health now, but after the last illness, he occasionally has a little lack of energy."
He Shilin shook his head after hearing this, with a bit of regret and emotion on his face.
"The old man is almost a hundred years old, and now his state is unstable. His health may be getting worse."
Song Mu was a little stunned when he heard these words. The other party's words were very casual, but every word was filled with emotion. It seemed that he had been very familiar with the teacher?
Song Mu immediately asked.
"Sir, you and my teacher..."
He Shilin waved his hand and said helplessly.
"We were admitted to the Jinshi examination at the same time, so we naturally recognized each other. To put it bluntly, I was thirty-one and he was only twenty!"
Song Mu was stunned, but He Shilin continued.
"That's all, anyway, he is now free from anything, and his life is better than before."
While saying this, He Shilin even told Song Mu some interesting things about Tao Fengming. Only then did Song Mu know that Tao Fengming's dried venison and Dabu tea were actually sent by Master Xuezheng.
Song Mu was naturally very grateful for this, but it was obvious that He Shilin was not focused on that. After talking for a while, his face suddenly became serious, and he looked directly at Song Mu and asked.
"Song Mu, let me ask you, does Tao Fengming still hold grudges about the past?"
Song Mu paused when he heard this, and the expression on his face changed at this moment, but he still said it to the other party.
"Why don't you ask the teacher directly? He is also in the provincial capital now."
He Shilin looked at Song Mu and snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his expression.
"If he wanted to see him, he would have come to see me long ago."
Song Mu was stunned. It seemed that Tao Fengming still had some resentment towards this old friend, but he did not dare to say anything at the moment and could only sit aside with his hands down.
"Please have a few words with him. Just say that the current situation is somewhat unclear, but it is also the time for the imperial court to hire people. If he is willing, he can serve the imperial court immediately."
He Shilin said this in an understatement, but Song Mu who was listening to this next to him was suddenly stunned.
There are many meanings contained in these words.
Could it be that the imperial court wants to re-enable teachers?
So is this your Majesty’s opinion?
Song Mu was suddenly confused and looked a little uncertain, but He Shilin was drinking tea with a calm expression. He seemed to have already informed him of the message and just added one more sentence.
"Whether it's successful or not, he will give me an answer when he knows."
Song Mu sighed at this moment. Although he didn't know the twists and turns in his mind, it seemed that it would be difficult to ask his disciple to deliver the message in a roundabout way.
Song Mu knew Tao Fengming's character. He was originally an ambitious man, but his life was wasted. Although he had many unwillingnesses, he knew that his strength was insufficient.
Song Mu did not dare to make a statement at this moment and could only nod.
When He Shilin saw Song Mu's action, he smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and a huge wooden box appeared on the ground.
Song Mu was speechless, but He Shilin spoke.
"This is a new batch of dried venison and tonic tea for your master. Let him take it with confidence. Tao Sheng gave it to him!"
Song Mu was stunned, but he nodded quickly. At that moment, He Shilin was about to see off the guests and ordered his servants to help Song Mu carry the box. However, Song Mu refused. He just waved his hand and the box disappeared from in front of him.
"Um?"
Seeing this situation, He Shilin was obviously a little surprised. At this moment, he looked at Song Mu carefully, and then said with some fun.
"Do you have any braces on you?"
Song Mu quickly held up his hands and explained.
"It's a reward the student received after slaying demons in southern Xinjiang, but he made a fool of himself in front of adults."
Hearing these words, He Shilin looked at Song Mu and said while holding his beard.
"Well, it seems that I have underestimated you, and you are quite capable."
Song Mu did not dare to speak. The other party seemed to be somewhat interested in Song Mu at the moment and asked.
"You were the first to win the case last year, right? This year you have to take the judicial examination? But that's what Tao Fengming asked for?"
Song Mu was stunned for a moment, but he smiled and shook his head.
"This is my own idea."
He Shilin's expression was obviously a bit puzzled, and she actually thought about it for a while before speaking to Song Mu again.
"I know what you're going to do, but I think it would be stupid to do it right now."
Hearing what the other party said, Song Mu suddenly raised his head.
What the other party said was naturally not Song Mu's ambition to take the exam, but Song Mu's secret hidden in his heart, to regain his identity as the head of the Song family.
He Shilin obviously understood what was going on, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Song Mu.
But this made Song Mu a little confused. According to the master, Master Xuezheng is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette. If he guessed his intention and didn't say to help, he wouldn't even refuse to praise him.
Bar?
Song Mu did not speak at the moment, but He Shilin spoke to Song Mu again at this moment.
"I don't care about talents, but I don't want to see talented people fighting each other. Now you should concentrate on the exam. The top priority is to improve your strength, not other things."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Shilin warned Song Mu, but there was no hint of disdain in his tone. Song Mu felt a little surprised at the moment.
"Sir, this matter..."
Song Mu wanted to say a few words, but the other party directly interrupted Song Mu's words and just spoke softly.
"Although that is a conflict between your Song family, you should also understand that you can speak about the principles, but you should also know who is the most deeply rooted in this place now."
"If you do this, you are hitting a rock with an egg."
The words of Master Xuezheng are not unreasonable. Song Mu has no roots or background, but he wants to subvert the other party on the territory where the other party has been rooted for many years. This is not so simple.
Even if you occupy the high point of etiquette and doctrine, it is still useless.
Even in the eyes of many people, this is just a momentary thought of an indignant guy.
Song Mu slowly lowered his gaze and just clenched his fists at this moment. When the other party saw that Song Mu was silent, he thought Song Mu had listened, so he waved his hand.
"Go and review your studies. To be honest, I feel a little conflicted about you. If you don't pass the exam, you may be able to get a Jie Yuan next year, but if you pass the exam..."
He Shilin's words suddenly paused, and his face suddenly seemed a little unwilling, and finally it just turned into a long sigh.
"If you win, I will offer you a glass of wine at the deer-crowing banquet."
As He Shilin said this, he saw that Song Mu in front of him did not move. On the contrary, the next moment, he saw Song Mu slowly raising his head.
"grown ups……"
Song Mu's somewhat calm voice came slowly.
"Song Mu knows that he does not have such monstrous abilities, but I also know that this is the wish of my ancestors for generations."
"Morality and justice can only work when the strengths are equal and balanced."
"But now that I'm here, I have no intention of leaving quietly."
After saying that, Song Mu turned around and left, leaving behind He Shilin who was holding the tea cup and was a little surprised. He was obviously a little stunned by Song Mu's words. After thinking for a moment, he could only slowly shake his head.
"His spirit is unmatched. No wonder Lan Xian likes him."
"Just don't be fooled. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
