[Liang Zhu] Yingtai took me to fly

If you ask Ma Wencai, he just doesn't want to go back.Guozixue is full of descendants of gentry families, with mixed fish and dragons, many factions, and is closely related to the political situation of the court.Not to mention the old Ma Wencai, even now he doesn't have the confidence to stay in Guozixue safely.These students in Guozixue can easily become officials, and few of them really want to learn.He took the initiative to bring it up, just thinking his father would be happy.

Seeing the reactions of Mrs. Chen and Ma Ziming at this time, Ma Wencai still didn't understand, so he said directly: "I know that my poetry, literary talent, and state management strategy are not as good as my father and elder brother, so I have no intention of becoming an official. What happened? Afterwards, I realized that the officialdom is complicated, so I might as well not go because of my son's temperament, so as not to cause trouble to the family."

Although Eunuch Ma thought the same way, after hearing the truth, he couldn't help but hate him for not being up to date, glared at him, and said: "If the son of the country can't study, he won't go, it doesn't matter, but your study should not be neglected. Why don't I invite a gentleman with both ability and integrity to teach at home."

There is no reason for Ma Wencai not to agree, he leaned close to Ma Taishou and Mrs. Chen, squeezed his shoulders on one side and hammered on his legs on the other, and said with a smile: "Father and Aunt are better!" Funny again.

It is easy to say, but it is not so smooth to find Mr.Probably due to bad timing, the few suitable gentlemen I found were either going to other places or already going to other people's homes.

"Wencai, I just can't find a suitable gentleman at this time," Ma Taishou said, thinking it was a coincidence, "But there is a gentleman named Zhou in Qiantang County who runs an academy. I heard that he is full of articles and has a noble character , it’s just that my personality is a little arrogant, and I don’t want to set up a museum in my house.”

Ma Wencai thought to himself, could it be that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really existed in this world, so it was destined that he would meet them?He asked his father: "Father thinks, should I go to Mr. Zhou's academy, or should I find another gentleman?"

"Although I hope that there is a gentleman in the house who will teach you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable candidate at this time." Ma Taishou is also in a dilemma, "Mr. Zhou has a very high reputation this week. If you worship under him, it will not be bad. , is better than wasting time at home."

Ma Wencai also felt the same reason, so he said: "My son is willing to go to Mr. Zhou's academy to study."

Eunuch Ma said: "Okay. It's not too late for this matter. I'll write a book with Mr. Zhou. Qiantang County is under the jurisdiction of Wu County, and I'm familiar with the prefect of Wu County, so I can ask him to take care of you when the time comes. Go and talk to your mother."

When Mrs. Chen heard that Ma Wencai was leaving home to study again, she was very sad.During the few years in Guozixue, he rarely had the opportunity to go home.

"Okay, you can go." Mrs. Chen collected her mood and said to Ma Wen before rushing back, "Qiantang County is not far away, and there should be an answer in the past two days. I will take someone to pack your luggage first, so as not to waste time Too late to make mistakes in the middle of the day.”

Mrs. Chen's words were correct. A day later, the reply letter was sent to Eunuch Ma early in the morning.He asked Chen Shi and Ma Wencai to prepare their bags that day.

Two days later, it happened that Ma Taishou Xiu Mu, the three of them had a warm lunch together, and Ma Wencai set off with Sanqi and Liuqu.

Ma Taishou and Chen Shi kept sending him to the gate of the house, but Chen couldn't help but blush.She took Ma Wencai's hand, muttered about eating and sleeping well, then turned around and ordered Sanqi and Liuqu to take good care of him.

Ma Taishou nodded frequently at the side, and finally patted Ma Wencai on the shoulder, saying: "Private education academies like Mr. Zhou's are full of ordinary people from poor families. Scholars and ordinary people are different. You don't have to get along with them in harmony. Just concentrate on reading."

Ma Wencai also had a sore nose, knelt down and bowed, and finally waved away.

There were a total of five people driving two ox carts. Apart from Ma Wencai and his two servants, there were also guides and bodyguards specially hired by Ma Taishou.The bullock cart looked exquisite and comfortable at first glance. The wooden cart body was like a small house, tall and spacious, more than enough for two people to sleep.

At this time, it is the mid-spring season in February, and the south of the Yangtze River is already green.It was rare for Ma Wen to see the scenery in the wild. From time to time, he got out of the carriage and sat on the shaft, watching the scenery with the slow swaying rhythm of the bullock cart.The spring breeze is mixed with moist water vapor, which feels cool on the face but does not feel cold.He suddenly remembered an essay in a primary school textbook, and on the spur of the moment he loudly backtracked:

"Looking forward, looking forward, the east wind is coming, and the footsteps of spring are approaching.

"Everything looks like just waking up. Xinxinran opened her eyes. The mountains are getting moister, the water is rising, and the sun's face is turning red."

Sanqi hesitated and asked: "My lord, what are you reading? Why can't I understand?"

Ma Wencai chuckled, and said, "This is an article written by your son when I saw this beautiful spring day. What do you think?"

Seeing that Sanqi hesitated and didn't know what to say, Ma Wen couldn't help but burst out laughing.Amidst the beautiful scenery of laughter, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have integrated into his new life, but this huge change actually left anxiety and fear in his heart. It was only at this moment that he finally let go of the burden and fully accepted the present. life.

Ma Wencai couldn't help but think, with a tender grass stalk in his mouth, if Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really existed in this world, would they also go to this academy?Will they meet on the road as the legend says?He wondered secretly, fell in love with Zhu Yingtai's Liang Shanbo who was disguised as a man, is he straight or curvy?This is simply a mystery left to us by the legend...

Within three to five days, everyone arrived at Qian Tang.

The academy is located in Wansongling, Fenghuang Mountain, Qiantang County. Because it was a little late, Ma Wen decided to stay in the county for one night, freshen up, and visit him the next day.At the same time, they also sent people to Wu County, the seat of Wu County, to report to the prefect. Since Ma prefect had asked the prefect here to take care of him, Ma Wencai should have the courtesy of a junior to inform and thank him.

Early the next morning, Ma Wencai and the others got up and went to the academy.Wansong Ridge is just as its name suggests. There are many pine trees of different shapes in the mountain. It is also green in February, but it looks a bit gloomy due to the humid and cool weather.

Walking along the slightly slippery mountain path, in the distance, a Hengmen is exposed in the forest.There are four big characters engraved on the gate of Heng, "Teacher of all ages".There is a stone tablet on the right side of Hengmen Gate, the topmost part is the word "Nishan Academy", and there are many engravings on the bottom part.Taking a closer look, it records the origin of this academy.

Ma Wencai wondered for a long time about the name of this academy, why this academy built on Wansong Ridge should be named "Nishan".After reading this inscription, I realized that it is said that Confucius was born in Nishan, but now that the north has fallen, Mr. Zhou Shizhang, the head of the academy, named his academy this name in memory of Confucius.

The inscription also records the history of the establishment of the academy, as well as Zhou Shanchang's educational philosophy and aspirations.

Ma Wen just read it through, and felt that the inscription was well written, catchy, and the words were very particular.With an idea, he took out a pen and paper and copied a copy.

Walking through Hengmen, the road has improved a lot, but there are tall stairs not far away, and the gate of the academy is at the end of the stairs overlooking them.

Only then did Ma Wen mutter "I knew it was like this", got out of the bullock cart, and together with Sanqi and Liuqu loaded the luggage into the prepared shoulder pole.Sanqi and Liuqu each carried a burden, and Ma Wen ignored their objections and carried a burden on his own.The guide and the bodyguard drove the ox cart back the same way, and the three of them walked up the steps to the academy.

In just a few dozen steps, Marvin's complexion turned pale.He had been lying on the bed for more than a month without moving because of his injuries, and his limbs had no strength, and his legs were weak from the fatigue of carrying a package weighing more than ten kilograms.

Panting, he silently added a third item to the plan in his mind, exercise.

Standing in front of the gate of the academy, you can only see white walls and black tiles. In the center of the one-shaped gatehouse is a black lacquered gate with double-layer cornices on the top. Simplified images of gods and animals stand on the corners of the eaves, and auspicious clouds are carved on the gate beams.There is a smaller side door on both sides of the gate, and a plaque hanging on the door reads "Nishan Academy".There are long walls on both sides of the gatehouse, which go deep into the forest, and the dense bamboo forest inside the wall protrudes beyond the wall.

Ma Wen just took a look at Sanqi, and he walked forward knowingly and knocked on the side door.

The side door was half opened, and a young man in his twenties, wearing bunts, stood inside the threshold, smiled and cupped his hands, asking, "Why do you come to this academy without knowing what to do?"

Ma Wencai also returned the gift and said: "Ma Wencai in Shanyin County, Xiahuiji County, please ask Mr. Zhou to study under his door, and please inform me." He handed the famous badge.

The man walked out the door, took the famous assassin with both hands, and said politely: "Please wait a moment, the villain will report right away." After speaking, he casually glanced at the three people at the door, and walked in quickly.

Although this person had a respectful attitude, Ma Wencai always felt that something was wrong, which made his heart sink.

Soon, the man came back and opened the main door, leading Ma Wencai and the other three inside.

The entrance is facing a blue brick screen wall, and two rows of wing rooms are neatly arranged on both sides of the not-so-wide courtyard.Bypassing the shadow wall is another door, on which is written the words "Mountains look up and stop".After stepping through this door, there is a three-bay house facing you.In the open yard, there are two stone roads intersecting, the front and back connect the gate and the main room, and the left and right connect two side gates.

At this time, the doors and windows of the house were closed, and there was no sound.Ma Wencai only saw the plaque on the door saying "Mingdaotang", and followed the guide into the doorway on the right.This is a cross courtyard, with a row of wing rooms on each side forming a courtyard.There is an old pine tree in the middle, the pine cover protrudes to one side, shaped like a flying eaves, and under the pine cover is a whole piece of bluestone.

The person who led the way went to a room on the north side of the courtyard, invited Ma Wencai in, and said, "Mr. Zhou is giving a lecture, please ask Mr. Ma to wait a moment." He ran out again, poured a glass and brought it in, and then left.

Ma Wencai stood in the room and waited for a while, belatedly thinking: "Am I being tricked?"
