Now the Confucianism and Taoism have become a general trend, Qingyang Sect, Qingluanwei and from time to time, at this time Li Xuandu sat on the Taiping Mountain, began to call the power of the inn, in addition to investigating the Qingyang Sect and dealing with the infiltration of Qingluanwei, the main task of the inn is to infiltrate Confucianism. Daomen is divided on the surface, although Confucianism still maintains unity on the surface, but there are also many factions inside, and internal fighting and internal friction do not stop, otherwise it will not be slow to respond to the Daomen peace conference, which also gives the "Taiping Inn" a chance.

Li Xuandu has two key chess pieces in his hands, the first chess piece is Pei Yu who he personally arranged, so Pei Yu is the Tianzi partner of the "shopkeeper" faction, and the second chess piece is arranged by Qin Su personally, belonging to the Tianzi partner of the "Dongjia" faction, Pei Yu's identity is a disciple of the Sheji School Palace, but this person directly settled in the Vientiane School Palace, and at the same time, he also has the identity of the Vientiane School Palace as a cover. Compared to Pei Yu, this second chess piece is more important, fewer people know about it, and Li Xuan will hardly send any tasks unless necessary, in other words, this is a temporary idle man.

Vientiane School Palace, named "Vientiane", has its own all-encompassing meaning. The six arts of the gentleman, ceremony, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics, music is the rhythm, so there are also many sacrificial wines that teach music and rhythm in the Vientiane School Palace, and there are many women in these sacrificial wines that teach music and rhythm, and Su Lianrong, who was one of the four best in the imperial capital, was also among them.

There are female sacrifice wine, and naturally there are female students, but unlike men, there are poor children among men, but women are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The reason is very simple, a poor man can be an official in the imperial examination and feed back to the family, so it is worth the whole family's support, and a poor woman cannot be an official, so naturally she will never want to study. And the woman of the scholar clan will marry in the future, she is the mother of a family, and she must clearly understand the management of a huge mansion, hundreds of children, grange tenants, business partners, and various accounts, although the big families can ask Mr. to set up a school, but the reputation of the Vientiane School Palace is outside, and the rules are strict, and there are still many families who choose to send their children here. To put it militarily, officialdom pays attention to a classmate, in the same year, there are so many court officials in the Vientiane School Palace, even if their children can't learn any subtle words, they can accumulate some connections early, it is also excellent, in the future, their classmates became feudal officials, central cabinet ministers, and their faces are also bright.

Vientiane School Palace is divided into ten courtyards with ten heavenly stems, Su Lianrong belongs to the T-shaped courtyard, today coincides with her teaching, not small piano house has been full of people, "Book of Rites" has clouds: men and women do not sit together, so men and women and Jing Wei are clearly distinguished, left and right sitting, and there is a passage for two people to walk in the middle. Su Lianrong sat in the middle of the top position, and there was a painting of "Mountains and Flowing Water Meet Bosom Friends" hanging behind her, which came from the hands of the Danqing people in the school palace, with an ancient style dwarf case in front of her, and a yaoqin was placed on it, and there was an incense burner next to the piano, and the mist was curling. Because the piano house has a wooden floor and is cleaned every day, everyone sits on their knees or cross-legged, which is a low table that is more suitable than a table.

Today, Su Lianrong Su everyone seems to be suffering from the cold, wrapped in a cloak, with a sick face, but the spirit is fine, at this time is explaining the book written in the previous dynasty "Lu Lu Xinshu", this book has a lot to do with the science of the sage, so it belongs to the orthodox work in the Vientiane School Palace, is to learn the rhythm of music

A must-read, and this book also has many merits, for the first time put forward the theory of the eighteen laws, to solve the problem that the interval relationship between the ancient twelve laws after the melody palace is not the same as the tune of the Huang Zhonggong.

At the same time, there was also a person standing outside the piano house, not a student, but a sacrificial wine.

This person's surname is Wen, a single name with the word "Li", he has a good background, his grandfather is Wen Ren, the big sacrificial wine of the school palace, and his father is also a sacrificial wine in the school palace, with many disciples and high morality. Family history, Wen Li is also full of poetry and books, quite strategic, when he lectures and discusses politics in the school palace, he can often make amazing words, which attracts full applause, and has a high reputation in the school palace.

Wen Li's love for the Su family is not a secret in the Vientiane Academy, whether it is the sacrificial wine or the students, they are happy to see it. There is only one point, the two of them can be regarded as talented and beautiful, but they are never right.

The Wen family is not a big family, and the requirements for the family are not as high as the Qin family, the Li family, and the Qian family. But Su Lianrong is not a woman from a good family, when she was in the imperial capital in her early years, her identity on the surface was a female Taoist, but in fact, she was between an artist and a Qing person, and later became the outer residence of the King of Jin, whether Su Lianrong was willing or not, in the eyes of others, she could not be regarded as a good person. Of course, the Wen family did not allow Wen Li to marry Su Lianrong as his wife, and Wen Li had already married a wife at this age, so if Su Lianrong wanted to marry Wen Li, she could only be a concubine. This is something that Su Lianrong does not agree with, and Wen Li also knows that being a concubine is really wronged by the Su family, so she has never forced it, but occasionally when she drinks with friends, she will also sigh "I hate to meet when I am not married".

After explaining the music theory, Su Lianrong began to play the piano herself and demonstrate it to the students. Wen Li, who was outside the piano house, then closed his eyes and listened quietly. Every time Su Lianrong gave a lesson, Wen Li would come to stand outside the piano house for a while as long as she was free, and the length of time she stood depended on how long Wen Li had free time.

Recently, Wen Li has just finished sorting out a long-delayed poem manuscript and has a lot of free time, so even if there is still a light rain today, Wen Li still patiently stands outside the piano house with an umbrella, waiting until Su Lianrong's song is finished, and then waiting until the students also leave the piano house, leaving only Su Lianrong who walks at the end with Yaoqin in her arms.

Wen Li stood at the door with an umbrella and said to Su Lianrong, who was about to go out, "It's still raining outside, give me the piano." ”

Su Lianrong didn't deliberately refuse people thousands of miles away, but asked with a smile: "Is Wen Saijiu very idle today?"

"Let's not. Wen Li smiled, "In this school palace, I am busy, I have endless knowledge, and I have plenty of time." ”

As he spoke, Wen Li stretched out his hand.

Su Lianrong hesitated, handed the qin in her arms to Wen Li, and then opened her umbrella.

The two of them left the piano house and walked on the path paved with broken bluestone, about a foot and a half apart. The spring rain was fine and dense, falling on the umbrella surface of the oil-paper umbrella, and there was a fine "pop" sound, Su Lianrong suddenly remembered that last day, it was also such a rainy day, two guests came to visit, and most of the year had passed in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Wen Li suddenly said: "The world has not been peaceful recently, and it is best not to leave casually for Su Saijiu."

Xuegong, if you have to go out, remember to inform me, and I'll go out with you. ”

Su Lianrong was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at this friend who admired her, "What's wrong?"

Wen Li sighed, "You are in the school palace, you have no quarrel with the world, and you don't know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Mr. Qingping's peace agreement was completed, and he single-handedly promoted the peace agreement of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Liaodong, with the intention of unifying the Daomen, and for some reason, he proposed to choose the place of the meeting of the three families in Longmen Mansion, and the time was set around this year's Peony Flower Festival, and the three families had agreed. ”

Su Lianrong's face showed a look of shock.

Wen Li didn't feel strange when he saw it, because he was also so shocked when he learned the news from his father and ancestor.

Su Lianrong sighed, "In this way, this year's peony flower meeting will not be seen." ”

"No way, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, Li Xuandu, they are the protagonists. Wen Li also sighed, "With these people coming, there are countless Jianghu people, these Jianghu people don't read, and they don't know etiquette, they know that they are fighting bravely, in the past ten years, many people have died in the city, and the school palace and the government are now powerless, they can't manage it, and they don't want to take care of it, the people who die on the left and right are Jianghu people, and the people who kill people are also Jianghu people, let them fight by themselves." So during this time, you don't want to leave the school palace, so as not to be affected by these disputes in the rivers and lakes. ”

Su Lianrong nodded, her face worried.

Wen Li comforted her and said, "Don't worry too much, the Great Sacrifice Wine is already thinking of a way?"

Su Lianrong asked curiously: "What is the way, can't it be that the big sacrificial wines come forward to drive people away, even if they can drive away those people in the rivers and lakes, can they drive away the four big people who are calling for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes?"

Wen Li hesitated for a moment and said: "If you can't drive away, of course you can't drive away, the key is that since the death of the saint, the Confucian sect has been leaderless, a plate of scattered sand, for the top figures of the Daomen, there is nothing to be done, in the past, they could still divide and balance from it, but now they can only join forces, then the head-on conflict is not the best policy, so several big sacrificial wines discussed to invite a few Confucian seniors with sufficient weight to go out of the mountain." ”

Su Lianrong just said "oh" and didn't ask deeply.

Wen Li saw that Su Lianrong was not interested, and the original wariness was gone, and she had nothing to say: "Aren't you curious about what kind of predecessor it is?"

Su Lianrong shook her head, "It's nothing more than this mountain man, that layman, they are all highly respected, let them come out to mediate." ”

Wen Li said with a smile: "You guessed wrong, I heard that these Confucian predecessors are all disciples of the saints, although they have never opened a sect or written a book, but they all have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and they are very powerful." ”

Su Lianrong's face was even more worried, "We still have to fight, the gods fight, and mortals suffer......"

Wen Li said: "Don't worry, if you can't fight, the seniors will come forward, and the people of the Sheji School Palace, Tianxin School Palace and the Four Academies will not be able to continue to watch from the wall, and when the time comes, the seven of us will work together, and the people in the Daomen will not dare to be presumptuous, which is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”

Su Lianrong smiled, "I hope so." ”
