Chapter 114 Zijin's whereabouts
After passing the test of the government office, Hong Liyu has officially obtained the qualification to study in the government office. Ran Shichang, who vomited blood three liters, left unwillingly. He was originally a pride of heaven and a talented person. At this time, Zhihai actually had a trace of destruction and unstable thoughts. This blow left a shadow and created a major flaw.
Ran Shichang originally wanted to sneak into Jian'an Prefecture to study and harm Su Lin's thoughts. However, he couldn't even enter Jian'an Prefecture. Instead, he was slandered Zhihai, and his thoughts were greatly hurt and hindered.
"Hong Liyu and Su Lin! You have won by you today, and I blame you for underestimating the enemy too much. I, Ran Shichang, will not give up."
Unable to get involved in the palace, Ran Shichang had to leave the palace and find other solutions.
After watching the lively scholars, they also returned to the classroom. Like Su Lin, Hong Liyu won unanimous recognition and respect from all scholars through her extensive knowledge and talent. As a result, such a strange phenomenon occurred. Hong Liyu added a table and sat next to Su Lin.
Su Lin in the classroom was a little embarrassed. Yuan Mu sat on his left hand and Hong Liyu was on his right hand. Especially Hong Liyu was still such a beautiful man, and several scholarly classmates who were inclined toward Longyang could no longer help but be ready to move.
"Brother Hong! I am Qu Tonghe, the Qu Mansion of Jian'an Prefecture. I admire Brother Hong's knowledge and want to invite Brother Hong to my mansion tonight, enjoy the scenery of the lake, recite poems and talk together at night, and discuss the meaning of the classics with each other. Wouldn't it be great?"
"Go and go... Qu Tonghe can also be called a lake in the half-dang of your mansion? Brother Hong! Come to my mansion! I, Cui Zongyong, admire Brother Hong's talent so much!"
...
"Well... thank you for your kindness for your classmates. However, Li Yugang arrived at Jian'an Mansion, and his uncle bought a house for me. After returning from the academy, Li Yu still needs to organize the house affairs in the mansion. I am afraid he has no time to accept the invitation."
He refused the invitation from several strange-looking scholars. Hong Liyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Su Lin seriously and said, "Sulin. Where do you live in Jian'an Mansion now? If you don't have a residence yet, why not come to me! My uncle specially bought a house for me. Although it is not big, there are still seven or eight wing rooms."
"Thank you for your concern for Brother Li Yu. My sister Su Ru and I currently live in the Su family's mansion in Jian'an Mansion. We are also from the lineage of Su Qin, the Zongheng family. We can be regarded as recognizing our ancestors!"
Su Lin briefly talked about his current situation, took out 600,000 taels of silver notes from his sleeve and handed them to Hong Liyu, saying, "Liyu. These are silver notes that the fog and rain elves gave to the government after they were given to the government. There are also the corresponding 300 points of fame and fortune, which have been recorded in your name."
"Then thank you Brother Su." This is what she deserves, so Hong Liyu did not refuse and generously accepted the silver notes. Then the two exchanged recent thoughts and insights. Su Lin talked about the allusion of "Confucius's ejaculation" and three ways of thinking. Unfortunately, Hong Liyu could not understand the essence like him and transformed the sea of thought into three forms.
Hong Liyu also told Su Lin about the dynamics in the capital. Especially after Su Lin smashed Ran Zicheng's holy brick "Theory of Wealth, Poverty and Humbleness", the news could not be completely blocked. Some of the children of the gentry who used this to enlighten the wisdom were all tried to find a lot of money for the second enlightenment.
"So, Su Lin, this time you have caused a big disaster. Not only did you completely offend the Ran family and the Taifu lineage, but also included many famous families involved in it. Although they are not as good as the eight major Confucian families, they all jealous of you. If it weren't for your country-controlling poems that alarmed the king, I'm afraid many families would send people to Jian'an Mansion to cause trouble for you."
Hong Liyu said again, "But now you are backing the big tree of the Su family inherited by the Zongheng family. You don't have to worry too much. I believe that the Su family knows that you are a genius, and they will definitely do their best to protect you. And use the family's resources to help you advance to your literary position and improve your thinking."
"I am not good at the third uncle Su Yuan. I value me very much. But the second uncle Su Zhong, who is in charge, has a strange temper and is quite strict with me. I still can't figure out the situation. But in general, the Su family's idea is to combine the power of the throne. Intra-fighting in the family is strictly prohibited in the mansion. For me, it is also a good thing, and it will inevitably help my own growth."
Su Lin still has a good impression of the Su family, including Su Ye, the eldest son of the Su family. Even though he misunderstood and stole his beloved woman, he did not take revenge and jealous of him. He also borrowed a giant ship for Su Lin.
"Although the Su family is the eight major Confucian families on the surface, it is actually the inheritance of the semi-saint family and the strait family, which is far from as simple as it seems. However, Su Lin, if the Su family asks you to change your own way and practice the way of combining the straits, you will not agree. After all, it is a small way, which will greatly limit your development."
Hong Liyu said cautiously, and then suddenly remembered something important, hesitated for a moment before saying to Su Lin: "There is another important thing. This time I went to the capital and helped you find out Dong Zijin's whereabouts through the Hong family's spies in the enemy country, Yue."
"Zi Jin? Li Yu, do you have Zi Jin's whereabouts? Where is she in Yue Kingdom now? What's going on?"
As soon as he talked about Dong Zijin, Su Lin became excited, grabbed Hong Liyu's with both hands and asked nervously.
After being caught by Su Lin in such an intimate manner, Hong Liyu was a little hesitant, got rid of Su Lin's claws, and then said slowly: "The news is not very accurate. Su Lin, I only found out that it seemed that it was the days after Dong Zijin disappeared. Fan Zhongjing, Duke of Yue, accepted a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl as his adopted daughter. Later, there seemed to be clues that said that the letter from Dong Zijin you received from Duke of Yue came from the mansion of Duke of Yue..."
"The righteous daughter of Yue State? Why did Zijin suddenly become the adopted daughter by Yue State?" Su Lin said strangely.
"Su Lin, I guess... it was after Dong Zijin was lost, and by chance, he was met by Duke Yue Fan Zhongjing. He cherished Dong Zijin's talent and appearance and accepted it as his adopted daughter. So, Su Lin, you don't need to worry about Dong Zijin's safety at the moment. She must be in the Duke Yue's mansion. But..."
Hong Liyu paused and continued, "It's just that Yue Kingdom and our Wu Kingdom are enemies after all. If you want to go to Yue Kingdom to find Dong Zijin, you must at least have the position of a juren to be qualified to get into Yue Kingdom."
"It's just a juren's position. In thirteen days, I will take the imperial examination to obtain the scholar's position. The spring of the next year will be the juren's position in the prefecture examination every two years. In just five months, I will definitely be promoted to the juren and go to Yue Kingdom to find Zijin's."
After hearing Zijin's exact whereabouts, Su Lin felt relieved. At the same time, he became more determined to study the meaning of the Hundred Schools of Medicine and enrich and improve his own thoughts in order to cope with the next provincial examinations.
"Sulin, you are a genius. In my eyes, you are a genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sub-saint Mencius. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to do so. Moreover, I, Hong Liyu, will accompany you to participate in the prefecture and state tests."
Hong Liyu's eyes were shining brightly. She saw a different sense of confidence from Su Lin. She liked such confidence and momentum. At the same time, she felt a little guilty about Su Lin. She thought Dong Zijin had been completely taken over by the Nine-tailed Holy Fox, so she couldn't bear to tell Su Lin this cruel fact.
"Brother Su, Brother Hong, you two are very proud. The first student of the case won the case, decided to take the exam for the scholar immediately. I don't have the ability. It seems that I can only watch you become scholars first before me! Hehe! But even if you are admitted to the scholar, you are still in the scholar class, and we can still study together..."
Yuan Mu could only sigh at this time, feeling that he always seemed so out of place when he stood with the two geniuses of Su Lin and Hong Liyu.
"Brother Yuan, you don't need to be discouraged! You must know that being timid without fighting is also a taboo for us Confucian scholars! Over time, it will cause psychological shadows in your sea of wisdom."
Su Lin smiled, patted Yuan Mu on the shoulder, and encouraged him.
"Yes! Brother Su said that although I, Yuan Mu, is not as talented as you, is a genius compared to ordinary people. Why should I bother myself? I have to compare myself with you two monsters? You are flowers, so I will just be my green leaves to serve as a foil! Haha!"
After thinking about this, Yuan Mu felt that a hidden shadow pressure in Zhihai instantly dissipated. It turned out that he had witnessed the various genius deeds of Su Lin and Hong Liyu for his own eyes over the past few days, and naturally he had accumulated a lot of jealousy, envy and self-satisfaction in Zhihai. These are negative thoughts that hinder the progress of thought.
Therefore, Yuan Mu figured this out and no longer compared Su Lin and Hong Liyu with himself. He strengthened the path of learning and cognition, and was determined to work hard to strengthen. This was also a huge leap in his thoughts. In fact, this is not only in the Confucian and Taoist world, but also on the earth where Su Lin traveled through time. Human thoughts are strange and magical things, and they often form negative emotions and thoughts that hinder their own development due to various experiences.
Only by calming down, thinking rationally, finding these negative emotions and thoughts, conducting analysis and explanation, finding breakthrough points, and resolving these negative thoughts can we correct our attitude and focus more on the goals and paths we strive for.
"Brother Yuan, congratulations! I just saw the golden light flashing in your wisdom, and I knew that you have improved your mind. When you learn in the future, you will definitely be able to travel thousands of miles a day." Su Lin smiled and congratulated Yuan Mu. (To be continued...)
