On July 14, Gongsun Liang made an appointment with Jia Huan, Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze, Xu Yinglang, Zhang Sishui, Qin Hongtu, Yao Wei, Yi Junjie and other 20 people to go to Miaofeng Mountain, Baihua Mountain, and Lingshan for an autumn tour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that time, the heat had passed. The mountains are cool and easy to walk, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. As Wang Xizhi sighed at the scenery of Huiji Mountain, he said: going up the Shanyin Road is like swimming in the mirror.

The first stop for everyone was the Tanzhe Temple of Jinyun Peak in Miaofeng Mountain. From Wendao Academy to the outside of Dongzhuang Town, it is easier to go up the mountain along the stone steps to the east than the mountain path from the back gate of the academy. Along the way, I saw many pilgrims from the capital.

After playing in Miaofeng Mountain for three days, everyone went west along the mountain road, went down the mountain to cross the North Tianling, turned to the official road, and reached Yantang Village, 50 miles away. This is a coal kiln area, and every household lives on coal.

Then go west 40 miles along the official road, passing through Tosai Town to Shimizu Town. Then head north to Ling Mountain. This mountain is the highest peak in Kyoto. Go down the mountain and go back to Qingshui Town to the south, to Baihua Mountain.

There are thousands of rocks in the mountains, there are mountain peaks such as seven-colored jade belts, and there are mountain peaks such as golden toads worshipping the moon; The mountains and forests are luxuriant, and the ancient trees are in the sky, including Pinus tabuliformis, aspen, birch, Yunbin, and larch. There are also waterfalls and flowing waterfalls, and the clouds are steaming. When you wake up early, the sun rises at the top of the clouds, and the sea of clouds rises. In the evening, the sunset is shining, brilliant as brocade.

The beautiful scenery is like a visual feast, which is refreshing, and Jia Huan and others linger in the mountains.

Gongsun Liang has lived in Wendao Academy for several years, and has long been walking through the surrounding landscape. Very experienced reminder that everyone brought cotton clothes. On the evening of the 25th, everyone chatted in the Dragon King Temple where they settled in the Baihua Mountain.

The Dragon King Temple is not large, with only five monks. Suddenly, twenty people came at once, and the food and vegetables in the temple were not enough. Fortunately, Jia Huan and others paid money at the foot of the mountain and hired a few villagers in Qingshui Town to pick up the living expenses.

In the main hall of the Dragon King Temple, everyone is laying on the ground. The mountain wind was howling outside, and the sound was very stumbling. And inside the main hall, the fire is burning and warm.

Xu Yinglang's temperament has always been very active, and he said with a smile: "Who will tell a ghost story?" These words drew everyone's attention.

Luo Junzi dissuaded: "Everyone, Zi said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away. ”

One of the students said, "Scared! Don't talk about it. It's weird and scary. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night. ”

Yao Wei teased: "With so many people, what are you afraid of?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Jia Huan held back a few very terrifying ghost stories in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still didn't tell them. The topic chatted casually, and gradually shifted to the upcoming township test.

There are a total of 10 people in Wendao Academy who have obtained the qualifications for the township examination, and all of them are here. Calculating the time, the time of the township test in the north of Kebei should have been announced. Everyone discussed returning to the academy tomorrow to go to the capital to sign up and end the autumn outing.

chatted and talked about his plans after the move. The most common plan for the middle school is to continue to make rapid progress in the field and get the Jinshi examination. If you can win the top prize, or enter the Hallym Academy during the pavilion selection, the future will be great.

Although the dynasty reformed the old system before the Ming Dynasty, it did not stipulate that non-Hanlin could not become university scholars. But the Hanlin official is a minister, noble and unspeakable, and promoted quickly.

Some students said that after the middle school lift, they continued to study in the college or went on a study tour in other places. Some students said that they returned to their hometowns to buy land after the middle lift, and became a Jinju person and a squire. They were all young people in their teens and twenties, and they immediately laughed at this twilight ambition.

Luo Junzi asked Jia Huan, "Ziyu, what are your plans?" ”

Jia Huan sighed in his heart and smiled, "I'm going to go home." Then I plan to go to Jiangnan to study. See the Jiangnan style where the humanities gather. ”

Qin Hongtu understood what Jia Huan meant.

Pang Ze smiled: "Ziyu, I think your idea is going to come to naught. Mr. Ye won't let you go. There is a lot of business in the college. If he can be promoted, his plan is to return to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety. A few years later, I will come to the capital to participate in the Spring Boudoir Competition.

Jia Huan smiled, "Isn't there still all of you in the academy?" ”

Xu Yinglang laughed strangely and said, "You are thinking wrong. I think the Jiangnan style that Ziyu said should be like this: more than thirteen years of grace, cardamom tips in early February. Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good. ”

"Haha!" The crowd laughed. This is a famous sentence of Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty, praising the beauty of a prostitute.

Gongsun Liang maintained Jia Huan and said, "Wen Qian, don't talk nonsense. Senior Brother Jia is less than eleven years old this year. "His plan after winning the lift is to go back to his hometown to boast, read a book, and finally explain. Then I went back to the academy to continue my studies.

Xu Yinglang squeezed his eyes at his friend Qiao Rusong. Qiao Rusong smiled helplessly and said: "The farewell song that Ziyu took out in the scholar's restaurant at the end of June has a signature at the back: the poem is Mr. Jia's title. If I'm not mistaken, this poetry girl should be Su Shishi, the Oiran of the capital. ”

"Oh---!"

In the night, everyone talked about this gossip. Gongsun Liang shook his head with a wordless smile. Because he knew very well that it was Senior Brother Jia's sentence "Beautiful women have seen each other for a thousand years" that made Su Shishi the leader in the industry of famous prostitutes and oirans.

…

…

Early the next morning, everyone got up to clean up, and after breakfast, the host and monks of the Dragon King Temple sent Jia Huan and others. Somewhat reluctant. These scholars come here to play, and their income increases.

Xu Yinglang said to the presiding monk: "Master, parting words, I have a word to say: the mountain is not high, there is a road." If you want this temple to be full of incense, this Ruth has to repair it. ”

The presiding monk smiled bitterly, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha!" He watched the scholars leave the temple with a good-natured laugh. There are some different feelings in my heart. This group of scholars is a little different.

Walking on the road, when he was about to go down the mountain, Gongsun Liang said: "Senior Brother Jia, such a beautiful scenery, can there be a masterpiece?" ”

Jia Huan patted his forehead speechlessly, how do he like to come to this sentence, and said: "I only got one sentence, people who have traveled all over Qingshan are not old, and the scenery is unique here." ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed and went down the mountain in a happy mood. But no, I visited three famous mountains in western Beijing, and the scenery here is the best in Baihua Mountain. Walking all over Qingshan is not old, it is very appropriate. They're all young.

Jia Huan smiled. He knew that his classmates had misunderstood. But there is no intention to correct it.

Looking at the full words of the chairman, the meaning of "walking through the green mountains and people are not old" is that the chairman recalled the many peaks and difficulties and obstacles he had traveled in the past years of conquest and when he turned to the north and south, and his fighting spirit was still firm, his spirit was still strong, and he firmly believed that victory would eventually come.

These are extremely heroic, generous, and firm words.

And he, more than two years after coming to the world of Red Mansions, he is finally about to achieve his first primary goal: to get rid of his pig teammates. His struggle in the world of the Red Chamber has just begun. Encourage yourself with this poem. He firmly believes that he can survive in the world of Red Mansions and live a rich, stable, leisurely, and decent life.

This is the thought, expectation, and willingness of his heart.

He has never been interested in such lofty ideals and great ambitions to help the world.

On July 20, the time of the Beizhili Township Examination was announced, which was set for August 24.

The official official of the township examination in Beizhili lived in the south - the book of the Beijing Rite Department, and after entering Beijing in July, he lived in the mansion rewarded by the emperor in Yongfang. As the leader of the world's literary circle, there are countless people who come to visit and submit manuscripts every day. There is always a crowd of people in front of the Fang Mansion.

This morning, after the last pilgrimage, Fang Wang went home. A close aide sorted out the post that came to the door today. Fang Wang chose it and decided to meet Liu Anyi, the director of the Huguang Qing Officials Division (Zheng Liupin) who came to visit.

In the elegant room, Fang Wang and Liu Anyi drank tea and talked about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Anyi has a thin appearance, a long white beard, and wears a blue Confucian suit, he is a native of Wuxi, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili, and Ding Weinian was born as a Jinshi. As he spoke, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Wangxi, I heard that the court and the Chinese government seem to have different opinions on Mr. Wang's proposal to admit prodigies. ”

Fang Wang, whose name is Fengjiu, is called Wangxi, is an old man in his fifties, in good spirits, wearing a simple stone blue robe, looking forward to Zixiong: "The old man chooses materials for the country, and he is distinguished by his knowledge, not by age. There are just rumors, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Liu Anyi smiled and nodded.

After the students of Wendao Academy came back from the autumn tour, they immediately returned to the academy for retreat and sprint after signing up. Time flies.

On the morning of 22 August, 10 students from Wendao Academy, including Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze, and Xu Yinglang, who had obtained the qualifications for the township examination, prepared to set off from the academy and go to the capital to participate in the Autumn Boudoir Competition.

Among the ten people, Jia Huan and Gongsun Liang are still famous. The remaining eight are all talents.

Xianheng Commercial Bank has a store in the capital, and it spends money early to handle the check-in of the hotel in the inner city for everyone. Therefore, it was not until two days before the exam that Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang and others set off.

In late August, it was already autumn. In the morning, the sun was soft, and at the east gate of Wendao Academy, almost all the disciples of Wendao Academy, about 600 people, came out to see them off.

Generally speaking, candidates who take the township test start from all over the country and arrive in the provincial capital (capital) early to take the test. It is really rare for Wendao Academy to be located in 40 miles west of Beijing, and it just so happens that most of the students are mainly from various prefectures in the north of the country.

Therefore, there is a scene of today's examination.

Walking from the east gate of Wendao Academy to the intersection of the center of Dongzhuang Town, the crowd of black oppression is spectacular. From time to time, someone shouts a few words of blessing. Full flood. The townspeople, shopkeepers and men in the shops along the street all watched the bustle.

Jia Huan, who was walking at the front of the group, rubbed his face with tears and laughter, "How is this the same as watching a high school exam on TV back then?" The examination room for his college entrance examination that year was the key high school he attended, and he did not need to send it to the exam.

Ye Hongyun smiled at Wu Jiaolang and said, "I'm afraid this is going to become a tradition of our academy." ”

I said this with confidence. Wu Jiaolang also laughed, "Brother Ye has such a bold statement, and I am also looking forward to it!" "There is a saying in the academy now: ten years of trees, a hundred years of people. The academy should be run from generation to generation, and it must have the ideal of running a college for two or three hundred years.

In the two-storey teahouse on Hengyi Street in Dongzhuang Town, Mr. Luo, a storyteller, looked at the batches of students who walked by, and was amazed. How could he have thought that the young man who asked him to sell the Romance of the Three Kingdoms script back then could come this far. I didn't expect that the owner would have a comeback one day. This made him feel a little emotional.

The team walked to the crossroads of Dongzhuang Town. Five wagons have been waiting for a long time. Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang and others all turned around to say goodbye and thank their teachers and classmates.

"Thank you gentlemen and classmates for seeing you off!"

Ye Hongyun, Du Hong, Yao Wei, Liu Yichen, Zhang Sishui, Qin Hongtu, Yi Junjie, Ji Cheng and others returned the gift. Ye Hongyun said loudly: "I wish you all a successful career and be on the laurel list." Later, all the students expressed encouragement and blessings.

Jia Huan and the others said goodbye, and then sat in the carriage with their luggage. Ten people, one carriage for each two. Jia Huan and the elder brother Gongsun Liang together. The carriage, moving forward in the eyes of everyone, disappeared.

On the second floor of the Scholar Restaurant, Lin Zhiyun and Shu'er looked out of the window and watched the carriage leave. Lin Zhiyun whispered blessings in her heart. She knew that Jia Huan was interested in this fame. At this moment, a gust of wind blew and lifted her white veil, and inside the veil was a jade-like face, exquisite to the extreme. Where is the terrifying "well" character that Jia Huan saw that day?

However, Jia Huan had already set off and did not know about it.

The autumn boudoir competition in the year of Renzi is about to begin! (To be continued.) )
