Rebel

Gu Ao nodded, and couldn't help becoming interested, and tried to chat with the young man: "I have only studied the book of war "Bing Lue", and the strategy has only read "Six Secret Teachings." The young man closed his eyes and thought for a while, his pale face Against the backdrop of the emerald green bamboos, it looks even more white as sapphire. He could only hear him speak slowly: "..."Six Secret Teachings"...which one did you watch?"

Gu Ao wondered, "Are you still branching out?"

The young man nodded and said: "Naturally. There is the Xia Department and the Zhou Department. According to the dynasties that were collected and compiled into books, there are slight differences."

"I don't know which one it is..." Gu Ao lowered his voice embarrassingly, knowing that he was not very knowledgeable.

The young man tilted his head, stretched out his slender white fingertips to brush away the broken hair on his forehead, and said softly: "...you can recite it to me...and I'll know..."

Gu Ao memorized the first volume as he said, and the young man said, "This is Zhoubu's, and the first volume is missing... Do you want to hear it?"

Gu Ao quickly responded, "Okay."

The young man breathed smoothly, closed his eyes and recited it from the beginning to the end again. After hearing this, Gu Ao admired him and said: "In this way, the explanation is more complete, but how do you know that the "Six Secret Teachings" passed down in the world has something to say? Missing?"

The young man opened his closed eyes, unconsciously covered the pure black cuff collar, and whispered: "..."Six Secret Secrets" was made by the ancestors of the family."

"Oh!" Gu Ao responded, although he was noncommittal about the luxurious life of the children of the aristocratic family, but in his heart he respected knowledge very much. Hearing what the young man said, Gu Ao couldn't help admiring: "The "Six Secret Teachings" is really amazing book!"

The young man smiled slightly, but didn't reply, it seemed that it was not surprising to hear such compliments; but he looked up at Gu Ao, and asked Gu Ao another question: "...you made a big fuss yesterday" "Students of the Yuanmeng Academy?"

Gu Ao was stunned: "Then what do you call making a fuss?" Then he laughed and said: "How did you know?"

The young man pursed his bloodless lips, raised his pale eyebrows slightly, but his gaze was still misty: "... I see your behavior... There is neither the pedantic etiquette of the nobles, nor the humiliation of the servants... Thinking of the ignorance in this academy... , and those who are young, it is not difficult to infer..."

Gu Ao laughed when he heard this.Seeing that the young man seemed to be very casual, he just sat cross-legged on the stone, he didn't pay much attention to it, unlike those children from the aristocratic family in the Yuanmeng Court yesterday, he had the intention of friendship: "Can I sit beside you and read a book? "

The young man nodded, moved his body, put his robes aside, and made room for Gu Ao: "I like to read a book quietly, if you are quiet, please sit down."

Gu Ao sat down happily, and took out a scroll from his bosom to read.The boy blinked, glanced at him, and asked, "What book are you reading?"

Gu Ao laughed and said, "Seven Histories, you must have read it?"

The young man nodded, "I have read it." But he said to Gu Ao, "...you... the battle against Liang Hui Wang Chengpu... what do you think?"

Gu Ao thought for a while: "A king is not a king. Liang Huiwang wants to fulfill his own reputation, but Liang is a small country."

Hearing this, the young man showed approval, nodded and said: "...That's right... It's ridiculous that some people in the world think... that King Hui of Liang is a benevolent king, who was defeated by the collapse of ritual and music...not..." The young man spoke quickly Getting faster, he suddenly coughed violently as he was talking, as if he had difficulty breathing.

Seeing that his pale face was blushing slightly, and Gu Ao was sitting beside him, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to caress the young man's back, trying to help the young man calm down, but felt that the bones seemed to be visible under the palm of his hand, Gu Ao couldn't help being surprised , did not expect the young man to be so weak, Gu Ao asked worriedly: "...Are you okay?"

"This..." The young man seemed to want to talk to Gu Ao, but he didn't know the address, Gu Ao hurriedly said, "I'm next to you, Gu Ao."

"Brother Gu, can you take your palm away?"

Gu Ao was taken aback: "Did I hurt you just now?" He remembered that his movement was very gentle on the young man's back. Hearing what the young man said, there seemed to be something wrong, so Gu Ao hurriedly moved away. palm.

There was a wry smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he said: "My body likes the cold... Even on weekdays, I have to sit on this big stone, shaded by the bamboo forest, not directly exposed to the sun, so as not to be infiltrated by the fire. , Brother Gu's hands are too hot."

Being said so, Gu Ao couldn't help touching his palm, he knew that his body was hot since he was a child, so he was not afraid of the cold in winter, but some people said that he was scalded, but it was the first time.

Because Gu Ao respected the young man's knowledge, he spoke with some humility. He cautiously said to the young man, "I was reckless just now, please don't take offense."

It took a while for the young man to calm down his panting breathing, the rosiness on his face finally faded, and his face wrapped in black slowly turned back to sapphire color again.The young man let out a long breath, and said with a wry smile, "Don't say it's weird, Brother Gu, my name is Huai Xin. In fact, my body has been different from ordinary people since I was a child. I hope Brother Gu will not laugh at you..."

Gu Ao didn't dare to touch Huai Xin anymore, he quickly moved a little distance from him on the rock and said, "It's because I'm not careful, I'll stay away."

Huai Xin couldn't help laughing, she had long forgotten that he wanted to discuss King Hui of Liang with Gu Ao, so she said softly, "Read the book."

Gu Ao nodded: "Yes!" Then he unfolded a volume of "Seven Histories" in his hand, and sat quietly beside Huai Xin, reading the book without saying a word.Huai Xin read "Tian Yan Ce" by herself for a while, seeing that Gu Ao was still there, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Gu Ao, seeing Gu Ao's serious appearance immersed in the book, she lowered her eyes again.

Huai Xin has always been out of group because of her frailty since she was a child.Later, he was sent to Shanyun Academy by his family, and he couldn't play with the group of princes who were of equal status to him, so he was left alone.

Huai Xin is a very quiet person, those people are too noisy, he is not used to it.In addition, among those young masters, there are always some who know that he is cold, so they look around for opportunities to tease him with warm things.Until one time when a swift got into his clothes, he was so hot that he passed out—from then on, he never went to play with those young masters to study.

Although Huai Xin doesn't like to make noise, after reading the book, there are always some interesting things, such as the ambiguous writing style of Spring and Autumn, but he can see the meaning behind the words, so he is eager to find someone to discuss and express his views.But his father used to be strict at home, and the wife he found for him was also strict, but no one understood his strange views on many books.He knew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Shanyun Academy, and wanted to find some confidantes here, but ever since he was attacked by Swift, he knew it was his own wishful thinking.

Most of the students here don't even come to study, they just want to learn from their teachers and make friends, so that they can have more connections in the future when they become officials, so they spend more time socializing and less time really learning... So Huai Xin completely Throw away the heart of looking for a confidant, and concentrate on studying and asking.However, among the masters in the college, there are quite a few masters. If you have any questions in reading, you can ask for advice nearby. Huai Xin thinks that this is also good.

The peaceful days just passed by day by day.Huai Xin thought to herself, her life in Shanyun Academy should remain the same... But yesterday was a good day, he went back to the house and saw the old lady who took care of him hastily returned to the room, and gave the pick to him The cold water for bathing was placed behind the door, and he said in a panic: "It's terrible! Young master! There is trouble in the Yuanmeng Court!"

He sighed, and asked slowly: "...what is... all the fuss?"

The old woman said: "There is a little boy from a poor family who doesn't know where he came from, but he said to Mr. Liao that he would eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse and lie on the credit book! Now the place where the water is carried, the servants are all crazy! "

He closed his eyes impatiently, he didn't have a servant, but he just disliked the noise of the servant.When I told my father about his wishes, his father said, "You are not in good health and you are traveling far away. I think the elderly at home are more reliable. I heard that the water of Shanyun Academy has to be fetched from the mountain. The spring water on the mountain is not allowed. Take it, since you have to bathe in cold water every day, and you still need someone to serve you, why not give you an old woman. Anyway, you don’t like people to serve you, so I won’t bring you a personal maid. I can take care of your daily life."

So she asked an old woman who took care of Huai Xin since she was a child to follow Huai Xin to Shanyun Academy.

Thinking of this, Huai Xin couldn't help but feel helpless.He didn't bring a servant because he was afraid that the servant would be too talkative, which would prevent him from concentrating on his studies. His father sent him an old lady because he was afraid that the servant would encourage him to learn the manners of the noble children outside and lose the inheritance of the scholarly family, but his father didn't care. What I know is that this old woman is loyal to her family and is very kind to him, but old women are the most talkative.Originally, this old lady still had some chances to chat at Huai's house, but now she is out alone with the young master, and she can't find her peers far or near, so she uses Huai Xin as a talking point, and Huai Xin sighs every time she speaks.

Huai Xin sighed as usual: "...forget it...let's not talk...I still want to read..."

Only then did the old lady remember that her son was the one who likes quiet the most, and hurriedly turned around and went into the back room to fill the tub with the water she picked out: "My son, when you want to take a bath, tell the old servant." Huai Xin heard Yan then put down the book in his hand, took off his clothes in the room, stepped on the ladder built by the old mother, and stepped naked into the cold mountain spring water step by step.

This is the most comfortable time of the day for Huai Xin. The cold touch around his body quickens his thoughts. He thinks about what the old lady said in a playful way, trying to deduce from these simple rumors that this rumored poor family Disciple's disposition, family situation.

Huai Xin was enjoying the refreshing coolness, and was a little bored thinking: saying that the people in Yuanmeng courtyard "eating a vegetarian meal" means that "he" is very proud of his own morality, and also saying that people in Yuanmeng courtyard "lie in the book of merit". ", indicating that "he" is very proud of his talents and learning.Since someone from a poor family can enter the academy, it must be recommended by a famous teacher. "He" is still so unafraid of the powerful, or he is not sympathetic, which shows that no one can compare with "he" when "he" was in his hometown, so there is such a recklessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Huai Xin buried half of her face in the water, and spit out bubbles... What else can I deduce from the few words that the old lady just said about the matter of the Yuanmeng Courtyard?Huai Xin thought about it.

For Huai Xin, this kind of thinking is like a necessary homework every day. If there is no such thing as Gu Ao today, he will definitely find a short passage from "Seven History" and think about the dialogue between the people in the book sentence by sentence. , imagine the scene at that time, chat to enjoy.He has learned the tricks of using soldiers since elementary school, and this is just the most basic practice for him.

... By the way, there is also the fact that the parents of this poor student must be monogamous.To be able to get the comment of "a vegetarian meal in a corpse", those sons of the Yuanmeng Court are probably arty again, what they do, Huai Xin can understand clearly when he thinks about it.Since this poor student was angered, there must be something he has never seen or adapted to.Huai Xin couldn't help but conclude based on this, not only is he monogamous, but this poor student lived without a maid when he was young, and no siblings are married.He may be the eldest son, and his parents usually treat each other with respect and never show any intimacy.

Then Huai Xin continued to think: monogamous, and there is no maid to serve, it seems that even if the family is poor, the family is not considered rich if they are in the poor.But courage is commendable.Since he has such courage, his father is probably a warrior.Huai Xin thought about it with time, yes!Maybe his father was an old survivor who was defeated during the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the past. His family was lost during the war, so he must have married a new wife.Only the veterans who were defeated in the army would raise their sons with the temperament of not paying attention to the dignitaries of the dynasty.

After Huai Xin finished thinking about this, she thought about something else.

Now seeing Gu Ao, Huai Xin took a look at Gu Ao's clothes, and immediately reviewed his inferences from yesterday, it seems generally good.At least judging from Gu Ao's gray cloth clothes, the poor family among the poor should be no different.Huai Xin's interest in Gu Ao was originally based on her own inferences and references.But after listening to Gu Ao’s opinion about King Hui of Liang’s Seven Historians, he couldn’t help but think highly of Gu Ao, and thought conceitedly: I’m already a geek in the world. Also an amazing character.

Huai Xin has also been lonely for a long time, this time when she meets Gu Ao, she likes her at first sight, so she can't help saying: "I come here to read every day."

As soon as Gu Ao heard that there was an invitation in the words, he said happily: "Then I will come tomorrow."

Huai Xin didn't know where the joy welling up in her chest came from.But he happily accepted the feedback from his body, and said to Gu Ao, "I'll wait for you tomorrow, see you soon."
