Chapter 772
Zhuzhou, Lu State, on the banks of the Huaishui River.
Ten miles of Huai River, brightly lit, music and singing all night, and singing and dancing everywhere.
From ancient times to the present, the Huaishui River has been extremely prosperous. Literary and poets lean on the red and green, lingering here, leaving behind countless stories of talented men and beautiful women, and also popular and unforgettable poems.
Two days later, the academy of the Shengru Sect recruited new students. Scholars from the Great Qin Kingdom came here, so they naturally wanted to take the lead in the entrance examination and become disciples of the academy. The future prospects will definitely be limitless.
The sage once said that raising a son to the country is the six arts of teaching:
One is the five rituals, two is the six music, three is the five archery, four is the five harness, five is the sixth book, and six is the nine numbers.
Etiquette, music, archery, imperial cavalry, literature, and the last number are number theory. These are the six skills that Confucian disciples should master and are also essential basic skills.
The Saint Ruzong was created by saints, with six colleges and an enrollment meeting every year. This year it is the turn of academy to start school. Scholars all over the world flock to it, hoping to win the toad palace and become a student of the Saint Ruzong Academy.
"My brother, how can you prepare for the big test in two days?"
"After ten years of hard work, fireflies reflect the snow, and I can't put the scroll down, just waiting for the title of the Golden List today."
"My lady, when my husband passes high school and becomes a disciple of the academy, he will definitely live up to your deep affection today."
...
The ten miles of Huaihe River, whispers are heard from time to time, all the sounds of scholars talking.
In a magnificent pleasure boat, the sound of the piano sounds like nature comes from the sound of a magnificent sound, like gurgling water, which can cleanse all the sorrows.
The sound of silk and bamboo is lingering, and the prosperity of the times pops up, and the beauty is like peaches and plums, shining brightly on my face.
Behind a screen embroidered with beautiful mountains and rivers, there was a woman wearing a colorful dress. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she could hear it from the sound of the piano that she was a woman with elegant temperament.
In front of the screen, a young man with sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes were sitting in the table. He was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, closing his eyes slightly with intoxicated expression, and leaning his head to his head as if listening.
The sound of the piano was crisp and cheerful, as if jade beads fell on the plate, but he could hear that there was a tragic past in it, and the piano player seemed to be telling his misfortune.
"Why!"
The young man with sword-browed eyebrows sighed, as if he was touching his feelings. He drank all the tea in his hand in one gulp. There was a charming maid next to him. He immediately knew what to do and poured tea and water, and served him carefully.
"Su Wen Miss Liu is the top brand in Huaihe River. This son was exhausted by the journey. He finally arrived in Zhuzhou, Lu, but how could he miss such a romantic encounter?"
Outside the pleasure boat, a rough laugh suddenly came, but a voice stammered in admonition.
"Yu... Yu is bold, this is... but Lu State has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, but it is not... a rash."
The rough voice laughed and said indifferently: "Guo Zijian, it is true that you went to Shengru Sect to study, but brother, I'm sure you know very well."
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became louder and he continued, "That nonsense of learning is what makes me happy. I just want to leave the bird-free land in Yu Country and have some fun in the flower world outside."
"you……"
The stutter seemed to be irritated by it, and said in anger: "Ruzi...Ruzi is not taught."
"Don't worry!"
The rough voice laughed and said, "Guo Zijian, if you want to play, I won't take you. Who told you to marry my sister? I have to take good care of you for her."
While talking, the two seemed to approach the pleasure boat and heard the rough voice saying, "Which friend of the Huaihe leader Miss Liu's pleasure boat was booked by Miss Liu? In Xiayu's prince Yu Dabing, if you know the appearance, you will give it up."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of the piano at the pleasure boat stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere seemed to condense. The charming maid's face changed slightly, as if the sword was unsheathed was revealed, and murderous intent suddenly emerged.
"Um!"
The young man with sword-browed eyebrows and star-like eyes waved his hand slightly, and the beautiful maid boiled water and poured tea, but just focused on serving him, as if his sharpness was hidden in the sheath, and there was still a little murderous aura there?
"If you don't dislike me, you can come up and listen to the song together."
The young man put down the teacup in his hand, and his cheerful voice came down to the pleasure boat. Yu Dadan didn't seem to mind, and he screamed in excitement.
"Then the relationship is good, and you just happen to treat you."
As soon as the words fell, two figures fell on the pleasure boat, and the moonlight fell on them, but two figures were fat and thin. They were all covered in brocade clothes and jade robes, and jade pendants were hung around their waists. Obviously, their origins were not simple.
"In Xia Yu, you are bold and from Yu State, how can you ask me what you call me?"
Yu Dadan was a fat man with a big beard and round waist, with a beard all over his face, a curly beard like a steel needle, and a barbarian face. While he stepped forward and clasped his fists and spoke, his eyes fell on the charming maid, and he was so straight that he didn't want to leave for a long time.
"Zheng Kingdom, Mo...Mo Yu!"
Obviously, the young man on the Huafang was Mo Wentian, but when he came to Lu on this trip, he was originally doing something secretly, so he could not give him his real name, so he made up a name temporarily.
Mo Yu, Mo is his surname. As for the word Yu, it is naturally taken from the name of his wife.
As for the enchanting maid, of course, it was not someone else, but Shadow Clan disciple Shashe.
"Brother Mo, too... is he going to the Shengru Sect... to study?"
The thin man was dressed as a scholar, wearing a silk scarf and a Confucian robe, but his wide robe and big sleeves were placed on him, as if he was mounted on a bamboo pole. Not only was he not as unrestrained as a Confucian sect, but he was indescribably funny.
"I am in the lower... in the lower Guozijian, from... Guo State, from thousands of miles... I came from, just to go... to the Shengruzong Academy to study."
The two countries of Yu and Guo are west of Lu, with a Chen State in the middle, which is thousands of miles away from the Huai River in Lu State, which is indeed a long journey.
Of course, Mo Wentian could see that these two people were just foundation-building cultivation. With their strength, and the steep mountains and dangerous roads in the southwest, they were all poor mountains and rivers that were difficult for birds to cross. I am afraid it would be more than a month.
The two countries of Yu and Guo are small border countries in the border spiritual realm, with barren mountains and terrible sieges everywhere, and their spiritual energy is really poor and pitiful. Among the twelve vassal states of the Great Qin Dynasty, they are all at the bottom.
However, the two countries have always been advancing and retreating together, and marriage is common. It is not surprising that Yu Dadan and Guo Zijian come together.
"Saint Confucians are studying?"
Mo Wentian said to himself and then responded. In fact, he had no idea, but both of them thought so, so they could only respond with the flow.
Studying does not exist, but it is meaningless to go to the Saint Confucian Sect.
Xu Fu's relics are in the Luban Treasure Hall, but the royal palace of Lu State is not something that ordinary people can enter. Even with his cultivation level of fake infants, he cannot trespass on them at will.
The State of Lu is famous for refining weapons and is already good at mechanical techniques. The royal palace must be full of mechanisms. In addition, there are masters from two sects guarding day and night, so they cannot be forced to advance.
There is only one way to go before I thought about it, that is, to go to the Baibao Temple openly, and don’t think about the handwriting of Duke Lu, but the crown prince of Lu could fight.
The son of Donglai Hou was a music academy teacher of the Shengru Sect. This person had a close relationship with the crown prince of Lu, so he might be able to join the palace. It would be a good idea to sneak into the palace under his identity.
Therefore, under the guidance of the sand snake, Mo Wentian left the country from Tianyuan City and came to the Huai River in Zhuzhou day and night, just to rest here for a while. As for the Huai River pleasure boat, it was just a temporary idea.
"Brother Mo, we are all going to study in the Shengru Sect, why don't we be together?"
Yu Dadan laughed excitedly, but while he was talking, his eyes became hot and he was still looking at the sand snake, but if he wanted to know that the charming girl in front of him was actually a Jindan Zhenjun, he would definitely be scared to death.
"Brother Mo, yes...yes!"
Guo Zijian hurriedly said, "The academy is once every six years, and it is not allowed to be missed. If you encounter it, it is fate. Why not walk together... with each other?"
"Two people are kind, but they are disrespectful!"
Mo Wentian immediately smiled and said that, but his head shook repeatedly in his heart.
Yu was bold and vulgar and uninformed, and Guo Zijian was speechless. Although both of them were not simple in their background and had foundation-building cultivation, the Shengru Sect Academy recruited students and did not look at these at all. How could they be recruited?
"Three young men, we met and went to the academy for the exam, which is also a great blessing in life."
Behind the screen, a quiet and cold voice came, as if from the heart, and said softly: "It's better to let the concubine play the piano and make a song, which is also a blessing for the three young men to be named on the Golden List and win the honors of the toad palace!"
"Okay, listen carefully!"
Mo Wentian had no objection, so he closed his eyes and made a statement of listening between the table.
Yu Dadan was not polite at all. He pulled Guo Zijian and sat next to him, clapping his hands and shouting: "My wife Liu, I have been famous for a long time, but it is better to hear it than to hear it. Please start!"
"Dingdongdong, Dingdongdong..."
The sound of the piano is like flowing water, the rhythm gradually becomes more rapid and complex, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, like a mountain flowing water, and also like a gurgling clear spring. Each sound still has an unfinished aftertaste, making people feel endless aftertaste.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the wind is rising and clouds are falling!
Suddenly the wind blew, the sound of the piano was unpredictable, as if it was floating towards infinite distance.
In a blink of an eye, the sound of the piano and jade beads fell on the plate, dripping from the eaves of the painting boat.
I don’t know when the wind stops and the rain stops, the dusk mist and morning mist cover the Huai River like a gauze, as if it is a fairyland on earth.
"Brother Mo, this girl is just an ordinary person. Even if she is the top card in the pleasure boat, she can just give her a ingot of gold. Why should she give her a medium-grade spirit stone?"
"The Huaihe River is the industry of the Ministry of Revenue of the State of Lu. Gold is just a common thing. Only enough spirit stones can redeem its freedom."
"Mo...Brother, you want to...redeem her. Do you like...really?"
"No, her daughter of the former Minister of Justice of the State of Lu was sold to the Jiaofangsi as a prostitute at the age of seven. She has been here for fifteen years, and she is also a pitiful person."
"Brother Mo, the former Minister of Justice of Lu State, heard that his family was confiscated and exterminated. What crime did he commit?"
"Has caught a person, someone who shouldn't be caught?"
"Brother Mo, the emperor violated the law and...the same crime as the common people. What...who can't be arrested?"
"The Eight Prince of Great Qin, a slave in his house."
"this……"
Behind the screen of the pleasure boat, a woman in the dark clothes burst into tears. At this moment, in front of her, there was a glowing spirit stone, which was like the light shining in the night, dispelling all the darkness.
