When the mist in the late autumn morning has not completely dispersed, in the Chu family garden, several rockeries are looming in the mist, and several kinds of flowers that are still blooming at this time are vying for beauty. In the pond next to the garden, some ordinary people are not sure
The common golden carps were already swimming in the water. At this moment, the group stepped into the Chu family's garden.
"Tianjiao, where is your grandpa? He is afraid that I will miss the Huadiao wine that he has collected for hundreds of years and is avoiding me on purpose." A Confucian scholar walking in front with a thin face and wise and energetic eyes smiled at the tall man on the right.
, the girl in a green dress joked.
The stunning girl with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and an impeccable melon-seed face smiled and said: "How can you not, Mr. Song, you are here by chance, my grandfather has not come down from Taixu Temple yet."
It was already quite chilly in late autumn, but the girl had very few clothes on her body, her manners were elegant and charming, and she did not feel the cold at all.
"Your grandfather didn't learn Taoism when he was young. How come he still starts practicing Taoism with others when he is old?"
Chu Tian smiled tenderly and said, "I don't know either. In recent years, my grandfather has spent most of every year in Taixu Temple."
"When the human heart is righteous, it is the Taoist heart; when the Taoist heart is not righteous, it is the human heart..." The sound of reading loudly came from the small building in the distance. Song Xinyuan heard this, his expression moved, and he cheered: "What a good one.
When the human heart is upright, it is the Taoist heart; when the Taoist heart is not upright, it is the human heart." He asked Chu Tianjiao: "Tianjiao, who is studying?"
Listening to the voice, Chu Tianjiao felt that it was familiar, but she was not sure who it was. She immediately said: "I don't know who it is, Liu'er, you go and have a look."
After a while, Liu'er reported back: "Miss, it's Young Master Jiang who is studying."
Master Song flicked the three strands of white beard under his forehead with his right hand and said with a smile: "Tianjiao, who is this Young Master Jiang? Can you please invite him over?"
Chu Tianjiao looked at the handsome, tall and elegant young man next to Master Song, and said awkwardly: "Master Song, this Young Master Jiang is a distant relative of mine. He is a bookworm and doesn't like to meet people."
She had already heard people talk about Jiang Xinyang's visit to the Chu family yesterday.
The handsome young man with a face like a crown jewel smiled and said: "Tianjiao, since Master has a problem with him, just invite him over and let Master see him. Maybe he will be favored by Master and accept him as his student. That will be his one."
Great fortune."
After Chu Tianjiao heard this, she could only say: "Okay."
…
"I have met Mr. Song, Brother Jing, Brother Li, brothers..." After Chu Tianjiao introduced him, Jiang Xinyang knew that the tall, thin, calm Confucian scholar in front of him was Song Xinyuan, a great Confucian who was famous all over the world.
As early as when he was in Yangzhou, Jiang Xinyang had heard of his name. He was a great Confucian who was famous all over the world, and whose articles and knowledge were admired by mountains and rivers. His grandfather also highly praised him.
Among this group of people, another person caught his attention, that is the handsome young man Jing Xuanfeng on the right side of Song Xinyuan. From the mouths of some servants, Jiang Xinyang knew that Jing Xuanfeng was quick in thinking, elegant in writing, and outstanding in martial arts and theory. He was from Qingzhou.
The number one young hero.
In addition, Jiang Xinyang also noticed that Chu Tianjiao was really indifferent to his fiancé, and only nodded lightly. And from their conversation, Jiang Xinyang knew that Chu Tianjiao introduced him as a distant relative.
In response, Jiang Xinyang smiled and said nothing.
Before Jiang Xinyang came out, everyone was still a little curious about him, but after he came out, many people lost interest. Jiang Xinyang is really a bit ordinary, in terms of appearance, he is just passable, and his demeanor is also ordinary, not like
What a talented person he is.
After seeing the ceremony, Jiang Xinyang didn't say much and just followed them in a low-key manner in the garden.
Suddenly, Jing Xuanfeng said to Master Song: "Master, there is something I want to ask you."…
"What's going on?"
"Master, I heard that the Yuanmeng Empire in Beiyuan is about to make a move recently and has fought several small battles with the imperial army. I want to join the army and serve the country." Jing Xuanfeng has a slender figure. Standing among the crowd, he stands out like a chicken, with eyes like stars.
, coupled with his high and passionate tone, it does have a different kind of charm.
"Wow, Xuan Feng, you are going to join the army!"
"good."
"We are just scholars, we can just write articles. Besides, you already passed the scholar examination last year. With your talent and knowledge, you will definitely be able to pass the examination next spring. Why worry about not having fame or joining the army?
?You must know that the battlefield is cruel, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger."
"Xuan Feng has been ambitious since he was a child and wants to achieve great things. How can we understand him?"
"Xuanfeng's family has a long history, and he has developed supernatural powers since he was a child. When I went to their house the day before yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that he drew the jade rhinoceros bow ten times in a row and penetrated the poplar with a hundred steps."
"The Jade Rhinoceros Bow is a top-grade bow. The bow power is about two hundred and fifty kilograms. Xuan Feng can draw it ten times, which is considered a magical power."
…
Hearing the compliments from these students, Jing Xuanfeng was quite proud, but he had a look of humility on his face.
Master Song hummed and said: "Scholars cultivate themselves, govern their country, bring order to their family, and bring peace to the world. Xuan Feng, it is very rare that you have such an idea. Master supports you."
…
"By the way, Master, it's rare for you to come out today, why don't you test us with a few pairs." As we walked, a student seemed dissatisfied that all the limelight was being stolen by Jing Xuanfeng, so he suggested.
He made this suggestion because he was good at dealing with pairs.
Master Song nodded and said: "That's fine." After saying this, he pointed to the golden carp swimming in the pond and said: "The fish swims and the rabbit walks in Chujiayuan."
The student immediately replied: "Snow is falling in Shanhaiguan and the wind is blowing."
Master Song nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad, not bad."
After Zhu Xuejun started, all the students answered correctly. Everyone was right, but Jing Xuanfeng was not. Someone asked: "Xuanfeng, why are you wrong?"
"I'm right." Jing Xuanfeng said confidently: "Master, I'm right. The dragon is soaring and the tiger is leaping in the Emperor's Palace."
Not to mention the pairing, each of these seven words is shocking. From this pairing, we can also see Jing Xuanfeng’s mind and ambition.
A look of satisfaction appeared on Master Song's face and he shouted: "Okay."
Master Song said it is good, that means it is really good.
A student standing next to Jiang Xinyang looked at Jiang Xinyang with a smile and said, "Master Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xinyang shook his head and said, "I still don't want it anymore."
Why don't you want it? I think you can't stand it. The student secretly disdained it.
Next, Master Song came up with several more pairs and asked the students to match them. The students matched the pairs neatly, but the one who made the most outstanding pairs was Jing Xuanfeng. The pairs he matched were both neat and precise.
In terms of words, they are far superior to others.
Master Song pointed to the willow tree wrapped in mist in the pond and said: "The willows in the pond are locked in smoke."
The student who reacted very quickly looked at the ripples floating in the pool, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The wind makes the lake ripple."
Master Song shook his head and said: "Xuejun, you react quickly, but this pair is not that simple."
When Zhu Xuejun heard this, the pride on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he frowned and thought. Then a few more people came up with a few pairs, but they were all rejected by Song Xinyuan.
"I understand, this pair contains the Five Elements, no wonder it is so difficult to pair." A student suddenly realized the truth.
"What are the five elements?"
"Look at Yansuo Pochiliu, the radical of each character is one of the five elements."
After hearing this student's reminder, many people realized that this seemingly ordinary pair actually had so many things. Many people were silent for a while, obviously this pair was very difficult.
At this time, Jing Xuanfeng suddenly said: "Master, I have it, Paodui Zhenhai Tower." At this moment of silence, Jing Xuanfeng's clear, bright, and magnetic voice seemed particularly charming. Many people stared expectantly.

"Xuan Feng's pair also has five elements. It's so powerful. He matched up."
"Yes, Xuan Feng is indeed the number one talent in our Tianxin Academy."
At this time, a voice sounded from a hidden corner: "Master Song, can I also give it a try?"
