Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

"Yu Jun... I'm the one who's sorry for you today..."

Wu Ying walked to Qingping with the bowl in her hand, and said cautiously.Qingping was eating with a bowl. In the dining hall, Xie Qi, who was scolded by her husband today, was sitting with a group of girls not far from them, whispering while eating.

"It's not your fault." Qingping said.

The group of children seemed to be discussing something, Qing Ping took another mouthful of rice, took a few glances, and dragged Wu Ying to the bamboo forest.

Qing Ping has also heard the saying that Wu Ying is an escaped child. An escaped child, as the name suggests, is a child born out of wedlock, and the mother is unknown.Qingping read books in Lize Academy for less than half a month, and also understood the situation. Lize Academy was built in the reign of Emperor Wu Zhao. Communicate, learn from each other, and integrate.

Lize Academy encountered a lightning strike during the reign of Emperor Wen Cheng, and the resulting fire destroyed most of the academy, so the academy moved from Lingnan to Lingbei, and built a hall in Le'an City. It has been going on for 150 years. years of history.

There are many schools in Hezhou, but Lize Academy is not the most important one. If you want to say that the highest school in Hezhou is Chuanping Academy.However, Lize Academy is from Lingnan, and most of the students it recruits are from Lingnan, and its wide range of recruits is not limited to Hezhou, but also accepts students from other states. It is one of the more enlightened schools.

If it weren't for the fact that Lize Academy is easier to enter and doesn't pay much attention to family status, I'm afraid Qingping would not be able to study here, let alone a child born out of wedlock like Wu Ying whose biological mother is a fan.

Qing Ping felt somewhat sympathetic to Wu Ying. The children of the same age in the school obviously rejected Wu Ying, but the Wu family in Le'an was a well-known family of merchants in Hezhou. The business had opened in Chang'an, and had won several awards from the imperial court. .So they dare not and will not bully Wu Ying too much, they can only use the newcomer Qingping to act.

The new bamboo shoots in the bamboo grove have been growing steadily, and there is a fresh smell in the air. They came to a small gazebo. There was a small pond beside the pavilion. There were many red carps in it. When they heard people coming, they shook their heads and tails. , sticking his head out from under the water lily leaves, opening and closing his mouth, as if begging for food.

Qingping asked: "Do they often bully you like this?"

Wu Ying said with some embarrassment: "Sometimes it will..." She sat down on the stone board of the gazebo in frustration, and said guiltily: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me..."

Qingping stretched out her hand to press the fish, pressing them down one by one, and she replied: "You mean Xie Qi? If she bullies me in the future, I will tell Jiaoyu."

Wu Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the edict will not punish her!"

Qingping asked: "Why?"

"Because..." Wu Ying stammered, "She is, she is Jiaoyu's niece."

"Then don't be afraid. She is Jiaoyu's niece, but she has been bullying her colleagues and discrediting Jiaoyu. She will be severely punished."

Wu Ying opened her mouth, feeling that Qingping's theory was far-fetched, but after careful consideration, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

"Hehe, what this little girl said is somewhat reasonable."

Walking out of the bamboo forest were two girls dressed as Confucian scholars. They both looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Wu Ying saluted one of them and said, "Hello, Sister Wu Yue."

The girl called Wu Yue had a good appearance, with phoenix eyes slanted, eyebrows like black, red lips and white teeth, like a young lady from a rich family.The life beside her is also beautiful, but standing beside her is eclipsed.Wu Yue glanced at Qingping, and said to Wu Ying: "Why don't you tell me when you are being bullied?"

Wu Ying seemed a little afraid of her, and said: "Uncle said that my sister wants to study, Ying dare not bother my sister."

Wu Yue smiled, but his tone was very strong, he waved his hand and said: "If there is any trouble, don't bother, you don't need to worry about this matter, I will tell the teacher." Yan Ba ​​glanced at Qingping and asked: "This is your classmate? It's a bit strange, what's his name?"

Qingping replied, "Yu Jun."

Wu Yue frowned slightly, and said, "I've never heard of a clan surnamed Yu, could it be from another state?"

Qingping secretly thought that Chen Jun really taught her a lot, and replied: "People from Yunzhou, my mother is just doing some business in Minzhou."

"People from Yunzhou." Wu Yue nodded, did not continue to ask, and said directly to Wu Ying: "Grandpa's birthday is this month, and it happens to be in the rest period, you go back and talk to uncle, and invite him to go back to the master's house. "

Wu Ying clenched her hands, slowly released them, and said, "Okay, I'll make a note."

Wu Yue got a response, and left with the girl.

After she left, Wu Ying sat on the stool with red eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged. Qingping saw that she was about to cry, so he handed her a handkerchief.

Wu Ying picked it up, but didn't cry, just sat blankly holding a handkerchief, Qingping didn't know what she was thinking, and silently stayed by her side.

Maybe Wu Yue's warning really worked, Xie Qi's petty actions decreased a lot, but also because of this, she seemed to hate Qingping even more, and she would have more white eyes than black eyes when meeting each other on weekdays, and she didn't have a good face.

Qing Ping didn't mind either, she wasn't Yu Jun anyway, and 'Yu Jun' was just a fictional character made up by Chen Jun.As far as Xie Qi is concerned, what about Jiaoyu's niece, it is still not enough compared to Chenliu Palace.

But Qingping is always an adult, and she doesn't want to conflict with these children no matter what.But she didn't dare to underestimate these children.The experience of growing up in the orphanage told her that although children are innocent, they can be ignorant, kind and full of evil.The most important thing is that she always remembers what Chen Jun said. There are many people who are smarter than her. In addition to always reflecting on yourself, you must also be vigilant and low-key.

Days passed, and what Qingping imagined did not happen. Her life was very peaceful. Apart from class, she practiced calligraphy every day. She finally understood why Chen Jun used to practice calligraphy...

The hall is divided into several different study areas, which are divided according to the different levels of students.The children who have just come in are all enlightened in the Enlightenment Hall, which is the place where Qingping reads. They learn to recognize and write, and recite various basic famous lines and poems; And began to learn to write articles from my husband; after this stage, I will enter Qianyiyuan, and start to study some works of great Confucians and sages in depth, and at the same time start to study the content of scientific examinations.

After all these are completed, the students will go to the government school in Hezhou to study. If they want to enter the government school, they must take an exam first, and they can only enter after passing the exam.Official schools are schools established by the imperial court in various states to select talents.It can be said that only those who enter the official school can really embark on the first part of the scientific examination, because starting from Emperor Wu Zhao, the imperial court promulgated documents stipulating that students participating in the scientific examination must be government school students; but later the conditions were gradually relaxed. , non-official students can also take the scientific examination if they can get a letter of recommendation from an official.Even so, government schools are still the places that students most want to go to.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was almost time for Hugh Mu.Before the monthly bath, it is also the time when the husband takes the quiz and answers, and the husband walks by one by one with a ruler.

The gentleman said: "Read this sentence to me."

The girl looked at it: "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit."

"What is this word?"

"........"

The girl was stunned and couldn't think of it for a while.The gentleman's face also sank, "Snap!" The ruler was held in the palm of his hand, and the students around felt pain when looking at it, "It's Er, and the pearl is in Er. The one with the pearl hanging from the ear is Er. Do you remember?"

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes, and the husband went to the next one.If you see someone whose desk is in a mess, you should also reward the ruler. The master just said: "Everyone who reads books must rectify a few cases. Make it clean and correct. Put the books in order, remember?"

And so, it was Qingping's turn.

The gentleman asked, "What word is this?"

Qingping replied: "It's a joke."

The gentleman asked, "What do you mean?"

"To slander, to slander, to slander someone who lives in a low class."

The gentleman was slightly surprised, and said: "That's right, your handwriting is also much better, that's very good."

Qing Ping bowed his body and saluted, and the husband went to another row to continue the questioning.

At noon the next day, after the bell rang three times, it was time to rest.There are three days of rest, which can also be understood as a monthly leave.This day, the entrance of the school hall was completely blocked by people who came to pick up the children.There are both carriages and sedan chairs, and what's more, many servants are brought along. The production schedule is very large. Unfortunately, there are so many people at this time, and those people were scattered by the flow of people, shouting at each other, losing the momentum before.

"Miss! Miss! Here, come!"

"Wu Mansion - Wu Mansion -"

Qingping knew how lively it was just by hearing the sounds outside. She sat on the seat and cleaned up the table. After thinking about it, she put the inkstone and brush together into a small bag, and rolled up some calligraphy practice paper. Wu Ying stood outside the door Looking inside, seeing Qingping said excitedly: "Yu Jun, are you going home alone too?"

Qingping remembered that Chen Jun seemed to have said that she would come to pick her up, she shook her head: "I have someone to pick her up."

Wu Ying had no choice but to walk away in disappointment. Not long after, she ran back with a book bag in her hand and said, "Then I will wait with you!"

Qingping couldn't bear to refute her kindness, and Wu Ying still pulled her to stand at the door of the study hall.There were people coming and going at the door, the two of them stood in the door and looked out, Wu Ying asked: "Is the person who picked you up?"

Qingping shook his head.

She stretched her neck and looked out. Qingping found it very interesting. After waiting for a while, the people outside gradually left. The gatekeeper saw that they had been waiting for a long time, and thoughtfully said: "You two ladies, why don't you come inside and wait?" .”

So they sat on the chairs in the side room and waited. The gatekeeper left after serving tea. Wu Ying worried, "Yu Jun, why hasn't anyone come to pick you up yet?"

Qingping drank tea from a teacup, and said leisurely: "I don't know, maybe I forgot."

She was telling the truth, Chen Jun might have forgotten her because she was too busy with outside affairs.But Wu Ying looked at Qingping very sadly, feeling like she was also a fallen person in the world.

Qingping comforted her: "It's okay, if you don't come to pick me up, I'll walk back by myself."

"Go back?" Wu Ying said in surprise, "How can I let you go back!"

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Yu Jun, why don't I take you home."

Qingping quickly refused: "Are you sending me? No need, I know the way."

Just kidding, if Wu Ying really sent her home, wouldn't it be bad to meet Chen Jun.Qingping still has lingering fears when he thinks about Mo Lan.

Wu Ying didn't know why she refused, so she could only settle for the next best thing, and said, "Then I'll send you to your house, is that okay?"

Qingping was worried that if he refused again, he might hurt the child's feelings, so he could only say: "Okay, okay." She added: "It's because of my sister, she is so fierce, I'm afraid you will be killed if you see her." She was terrified."

Sure enough, Wu Ying's brows relaxed a lot, she smiled and shook her head: "I'm not afraid, Yu Jun is such a nice person, your sister must be a good person too!"

Qingping felt a little guilty all of a sudden, Chen Jun would definitely leave, and then 'Yu Jun' would no longer be her.Wu Ying's dear friend 'Yu Jun' is just a fabricated character, and with the end of this trip, it will also disappear into nothingness.

"Let's go." Qingping sighed in his heart, took Wu Ying's hand and said, "Go home."

The evening wind gently blew on their faces, and the setting sun stretched their backs long. Wu Ying walked behind Qingping, stepping on Qingping's shadow, as if playing some game.

Qingping looked back at her, and she hid in Qingping's shadow to prevent Qingping from seeing her face, Qingping asked: "What is this for?"

Wu Ying pressed her shoulder with one hand, and said strangely: "It is to exorcise evil spirits. Stepping on the shadow can exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Don't you know?"

Qing Pingxin said that I really don't know, she only heard that you can't step on the shadow, and if you step on it, you will lose your luck. She replied: "No, there is no such saying in Yunzhou."

Wu Ying suddenly tightened her grip on Qingping's shoulders. Qingping thought she was about to fall, so she quickly turned around to help her, but Wu Ying pulled Qingping past her and whispered in her ear: "There are people behind us who have been following us for a long time. gone."

Qingping's first reaction was that Chen Jun did something again, and it was retribution on her, but after thinking about it, since Chen Jun put her in the study hall, it was tantamount to putting 'Yu Jun' in the classroom. In everyone's eyes, no one dares to do anything in the book hall, but it's hard to say outside the scope of the book.

Out of the alley is a street, Qingping took her hand calmly, and said softly: "I'll count one, two, three, you run forward, go out of the alley to the right, run home, you know ?”

Wu Ying looked at Qingping, the setting sun was like blood, covering the entire alley.Her eyes were wide open, and moisture like morning mist quickly climbed into her eyes, and she whispered: "No, I won't go."

Qingping was a little speechless, slowly let go of her hand and said: "You go home to call someone first, and then come to me, okay?"

Wu Ying choked up and said: "You are talking nonsense, where can I find you then?"

Qingping choked up, and could only make up a random reason to trick her away before saying: "It's next to the study hall, okay, after I get rid of them."

Wu Ying refused: "No."

Seeing that the entrance of the alley has arrived, and the street is just a few steps away, the sunset has already set, leaving only a few gorgeous clouds hanging in the sky, and the sky is gradually getting dark. Didn't even bother to hide anymore, Qing Ping pushed Wu Ying violently and shouted angrily, "Run!"

Wu Ying was taken aback. After all, she was still young, so she subconsciously ran to the right. Qingping deliberately paused. The group of people seemed to be trying to figure out which child it was. Throwing it away, he laughed and said, "Come on, idiot, come and chase me! Is your master a fool, that's why you are so stupid!"

Those people were really enraged. The middle-aged woman at the head looked at the direction Wu Ying was leaving, and said in a deep voice, "That's definitely not the person Miss is looking for, go and grab the one on the left. Take all your things and don't make too much noise. .”
