Chapter 103 Wen Zhongshu

"Nuo, Brother Yanzhao, in front of you is Zhang Shi's house."

Pointing to a slightly larger house not far in front of him, Wen Zhongshu smiled and walked all the way, especially after learning Yang Yanzhao's identity. The other party's humility and courtesy moved him very much, and he also had more desire to make friends.

Looking at the two crimson lanterns hanging in front of the house, with the forehead of 'Zhang Fu' written on the forehead, Yang Yanzhao also knew that he had arrived at the destination.

So he thanked Wen Zhongshu, "Brother Lao Bingyang."

"Brother Yanzhao is very angry. It is Wen Bingyang's blessing to get to know Brother Yanzhao. It's getting late, and I have to go back, otherwise my mother will be worried."

After the two made an appointment to meet again another day, Wen Zhongshu left happily. At this time, Guo Huai stepped forward and rubbed his head painfully and said, "It's still the master's right. The literati said that everything is sour. Fortunately, he only learned half-heartedly, otherwise, life would be really difficult."

Yang Yanzhao smiled at Guo Huai's complaints. After all, he also didn't like this kind of polite communication, but in the era of compliance with virtue, he had no choice but to adapt to it.

He knocked on the copper ring of Zhumen. After a while, an old servant leaned out and looked at Yang Yanzhao and said, "Who are you looking for?"

"Old man, let's come here to visit Zhang Shi, and ask the old man to pass it on for us."

Maybe there are often college students coming here. The old servant didn't feel strange after hearing this. He answered and closed the door to send a message to the house.

After a while, the door opened, and the old servant led Yang Yanzhao to the study and sent a pot of tea and some cakes. "The master is eating. Please wait for a moment."

"Thank you very much."

After the old servant left, Yang Yanzhao poured a cup of tea for Guo Huai, and then began to take a good looked at Zhang Hao's study.

The eyes swept through the books neatly placed on the bookcase. Most of them are collections of classics and history, but on the side of the bookcase, there are also books such as 'Wei Liaozi' and 'Liu Tao'.

With curiosity in his heart, he stepped forward and opened the top 'Wei Liaozi', most of which were full of dense small words. When he was about to check carefully, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door.

I hurriedly put the book on the wooden chair on Guo Huai's side. In a moment, the door was pushed open, and an old man came in with a smile on his face.

It turned out to be him, Yang Yanzhao was a little stunned.

When he saw Yang Yanzhao, the latter was obviously a little surprised. His smile stayed for a moment, but later he laughed loudly.

"Uncle He said that a young man was visiting, and he thought it was a student of the college, but he didn't expect it to be you!"

Looking at the old man who smiled happily in front of him, Yang Yanzhao also felt a little predestined. On that day, he went to Sanzui'an for the first time, in front of Mozhu, by the Qingtan, he had a few words with him.

It was also at that time that Yang Yanzhao brought out the words of "a great sage who set his heart for heaven and earth and beg for the people".

Once, I also guessed the identity of the old man several times, but later I never had a chance to meet him again, so I put the elegant mysterious old man aside for the time being.

But I didn't expect that he was Zhang Shi of Suiyang Academy.

After a little surprise, Yang Yanzhao saluted Zhang Hao as a disciple. "Student Yang Jing was recommended by his teacher to find Zhang Shi. I hope he will have the honor to study the way of sages in Suiyang College."

"Ha ha, the guy Yuan Fu finally let go, but he also made me happy to get a good talent." Zhang Hao's smile did not retreat, but when he saw Guo Huai standing on the side, he asked doubtfully, "I don't know who this is?"

"The younger Guo Huai has met Mr."

"It turned out to be Guo Huaixian's nephew. If you don't talk, I really can't recognize you. I haven't seen you for years. Why has your appearance changed so much?"

"The younger generation was entrusted by the teacher and accompanied by Yanzhao's younger brother to experience the world. He was afraid of being recognized by others, so he did something easy."

The two originally knew each other, which surprised Yang Yanzhao, but Zhang Hao was even more surprised. When he heard Guo Huai call him Yanzhao's younger brother, he couldn't help looking at the latter.

"Yuanfu accepted you as an apprentice?"

"The teacher is not disliked by Yanzhao's stupidity. Being able to enter the teacher is also a blessing from the student's previous life."

Zhang Hao lowered his head and meditated for a moment. Later, he said, "In this case, there is no need for you and me to see each other. Tomorrow, I will go straight to Suiyang Academy. With your status as Fuzhou Xieyuan, I won't make it difficult for you to come to the mountain chief and others."

After chatting with Zhang Hao for a while, Yang Yanzhao and Guo Huai declined his retention. The two left Zhang's house. At the beginning of the lights, there were still a number of pedestrians on the street.

I found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and sat down to rest.

"Brother Hede, are you old with Zhang Shi?"

Previously, Yang Yanzhao was already curious when he heard the conversation between Guo Huai and Zhang Hao, but the occasion was not suitable, so he couldn't help asking until now.

After taking the tea poured by Yang Yanzhao, Guo Huai took a few sips and did not hide it. He said what he knew, "Speaking of Mr. Shaoyang and Sister Lianrong also know it. Brother Yanzhao, you started late, so you don't know.

I only met my husband a few times, and it was still the time when he traveled with his uncle, his mentor and his little uncle.

At that time, I was also surprised why the uncles and others made friends with him who had no cultivation at all. It was not until later that the teacher was drunk that they revealed the truth.

Mr. Zhang is the descendant of Ghost Valley.

This sentence almost shocked Yang Yanzhao to take off the cup in his hand. It turned out to be the descendant of Ghost Valley. Even thousands of years later, when people mentioned Ghost Valley, they were in awe.

The way of yin and yang, and the art of crossing Kyushu, all originate from the Ghost Valley.

I really didn't expect that Zhang Shi was a descendant of Ghost Valley. No wonder the teacher and the two uncles would know and meet him.

After eating some casually with Guo Huai, the two returned to the small courtyard. Fortunately, there were many shops that made pen and ink scriptures. Therefore, Yang Yanzhao could easily buy some pen, ink, paper and scriptures and so on, which also saved the tomorrow's college empty-handed.

The next day, Yang Yanzhao went to Suiyang Academy to find Zhang Shi, and Guo Huai didn't like the atmosphere of the Academy, so he stayed in the courtyard to learn how to capture the Fourteen.

When he left the courtyard, Yang Yanzhao had already practiced a set of boxing and ate some snacks, so it was bright, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and most of them were still students carrying books.

While admiring the shop that had opened its doors to do business on the street, he walked along the south. Not long after, he arrived at the main entrance of Suiyang Academy.

At the door, two middle-aged people in blue shirts stood against the pillar, and the students in the past saluted them one after another.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yanzhao sounded the scene where the school had been late, and immediately an uncontrollable dog blood came out.

"Brother Yanzhao!"

When Yang Yanzhao was about to raise his legs and pick up the steps, there was a call behind him. He turned his head, but it was Wen Zhongshu he saw yesterday.

He was still wearing a cyan gown that had been washed with some wrinkles, holding a few rolls of books in his arms, and strode from the corner.

"Brother Bingyang", Yang Yanzhao stopped and waited for him and said with a smile, "I still thought that I didn't know the way to go in, and Brother Bingyang appeared. It's really my brother's timely rain."

When Yang Yanzhao said this, Wen Zhongshu shook his head disapprovingly, "Brother Yanzhao, you are joking again. Although the college is big, you don't know the way. At this moment, I think that Zhang Shi has arrived in the college, and I will take you there."

With that, he didn't look at Yang Yanzhao, who wanted to be grateful. Wen Zhongshu walked directly to the steps, saluted the two middle-aged people in front of the door and said hello.

According to the gourd, Yang Yanzhao also saluted like him. Fortunately, there were many students in the college. The supervisor on duty did not know whether he was a student of the college or not, so he followed Wen Zhongshu in like this.

Stepping into the college, there are eaves and corridors on both sides, which are simple but not luxurious. The more you go in, the scenery you see is getting more and more open. The school houses on both sides are neatly lined up, and the shadows are gathering. It is thought that many people have come to study hard.

Follow Wen Zhongshu and listen to his layout and composition of Suiyang College as he walked. If you listen carefully, it is also somewhat similar to Sanzui'an. Here, the college is also divided into several different levels. The lowest is the Qizhi Hall of the Analects learned by children in a bun, and the highest is the Mingdezhai of the imperial examination.

And Wen Zhongshu is in Mingdezhai.

"Sir, where are you going?"

While Wen Zhongshu was walking with Yang Yanzhao, a young man in gray suddenly rushed over and saluted him with a sign of ridicule.

And when this person's voice fell, there was also laughter around him. At this time, Yang Yanzhao understood why Wen Zhongshu called him 'Mr.' yesterday.

In the college, it seems that an old person like him has become a gentleman and a scholar. Yang Yanzhao has really not seen it all the way. Although there are many candidates for the exam, those people probably study hard at home, unwilling, and have no face to enter the college for learning.

Therefore, Yang Yanzhao can imagine that Wen Zhongshu was teased in the college, but he admired his tenacity more in his heart. At the same time, he also turned his mind hard to think that Wen Zhongshu was the only good minister in the Taizong period.

"Huh, Xu You, you don't have to kill like this. Wen Bingyang can't stand it!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and took a detour from the teenager. Yang Yanzhao looked at Xu Yu, who was smiling. He didn't know why he suddenly felt very ridiculous, but because the timing was not right, he followed Wen Zhongshu with a straight face and left.

With that, Wen Zhongshu was a little depressed and didn't say much. When he walked to a corner of the corridor, he found that Yang Yanzhao behind him did not follow.

Turning his head, Yang Yanzhao was staring at the crisp plums at the foot of the courtyard wall. He walked over with some doubt, "Brother Yanzhao, what are you doing?"

It seemed that he was disturbed by meditation. Yang Yanzhao was stunned at first, and then shook his head with a smile, "Nothing, Brother Bingyang, just walked here and saw that those cold plums had some joy."

"Brother Yanzhao also likes this plum?"

"Well, in the cold winter, only this flower is not afraid of the cold and stands proudly in the ice and snow. But it is also like this that it is loved by the world. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from grinding. Brother Bingyang, what do you think?"

Looking at the face with a warm smile, Wen Zhongshu suddenly had a throbbing in his heart. For so many years, most of the suffering he endured disappeared in an instant. He saluted Yang Yanzhao very solemnly. "Brother Yanzhao's guidance today, Wen Bingyang will remember it all his life."
