Chapter 144: Admission to Hanlin Mansion
Although the six arts are taught in Hanlin Mansion, the homework is not tense. Except for class, the rest of the time is still free and idle. As long as it does not affect the normal school operation and other students' study and rest, such as playing chess, playing piano, drinking, writing poetry, teasing birds, and throwing pots, you can do it in Hanlin Mansion as long as you like.
As the saying goes, the master leads his school to practice, and his true abilities depend on his own consciousness. Even if he is not the Ten Masters of Wenhan, he can still be a prince and noble son who is well-versed in all kinds of skills and has great knowledge. This is why even the Hanlin Mansion is so superficial and perverted, he still has many talents and is still one of the seven major sects in the world.
Although it is closed management, there is still a seven-day rest period at the end of each month, and students can go out to visit or make purchases. Of course, the Ten Masters of Wenhan are not among them. They are a special existence in the Hanlin Mansion. Just like Mo Liang, I said that I was uncomfortable today and could not go to class tomorrow. I spent more than half a year with Yuan Zhan in Shengguo, and I still acted recklessly when I came back. This is strength, the Ten Masters of Wenhan.
In autumn, leisurely daily life in Hanlin Mansion is not common. Because at this time, students are busy reviewing their homework and preparing for the autumn test. The annual autumn test assessment determines the students' stay or not. Except for the Ten Masters of Wenhan, even if you have passed the five-year compulsory training, but fail the assessment in the sixth year, you will still be ruthlessly kicked away. Although you can use family background and money to successfully pass the test, you have to persist in five years to successfully pass the test. It can be said that Hanlin Mansion is a place to cultivate aristocratic talents for the nobles.
Although Lingyuan is in Hanlin Mansion, the scene is very different from that in Hanlin Mansion Main Court. There are various trees and flowers in Lingyuan. There are four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and four famous trees of Zhangzi, Nantong, which are like a huge botanical garden. Sometimes it will attract Hehua, the highest medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office, to lead his disciples to observe. Because there are some medicinal materials that are not even found in the valley orchid of the Royal Imperial Medicine Garden.
Although the environment of the main courtyard of Hanlin Mansion is not single, it seems monotonous compared to Lingyuan. The patio of Hanlin Mansion is a butterfly-shaped wisteria flower spike, so large wisteria flowers are planted in the mansion. Almost all the roofs, pavilions and rings of wisteria vines are there. Every April, the wisteria flowers are in full bloom, and the Hanlin Mansion will be immersed in a sea of wisteria flowers and radiate fragrance.
Especially the wisteria in front of the attic where Zuo Jinyu, the highest academician of the Hanlin Mansion, was located, which did not need to climb onto other things and formed a forest. It is the largest wisteria in the Hanlin Mansion. When it was in its peak, it bloomed with a string of lavender butterfly-shaped flower spikes. Each flower had five petals, and the petals had stamens in the heart, which were about a foot long, drooping gently, fluttering in the wind, which was particularly charming, so it was called the Wisteria Pavilion.
It is now autumn, so when Wei Ying followed Mo Liang to the Wisteria Pavilion, he could no longer see the scene of wisteria flowers blooming, but looking at the yellow wisteria leaves slowly falling with the autumn wind, it is still a wonderful picture.
"Teacher——" In the pavilion, Zuo Jinyu was reviewing the process of this autumn examination. Mo Liang folded his hands and bowed respectfully to Zuo Jinyu. Wei Ying also hurriedly followed Mo Liang's appearance and bowed to Zuo Jinyu.
"Hmm? It's Chu Yang!" Zuo Jinyu looked up when he heard the sound and found that Mo Liang was actually here. "I heard that you suddenly had an illness the night before yesterday, but how much better today?"
"Thank you for your concern, Chu Yang is fine." Mo Liang gave another gift, "Teacher, Chu Yang is here today, hoping that you can make an exception to accept a disciple. His name is Wei Ying, and he is the nephew of the Luolongwei clan of Luoyang. When the Hanlin Mansion was first established, his ancestors donated a lot of money. I came here to visit, hoping to become a Hanlin student."
"Student Wei Ying has met Mr.." Wei Ying followed Zuo Jinyu with another gift. "Students know that the spring enrollment will be held once every two years, but the students have always admired Hanlin Mansion very much. I hope that Mr. can be compatible. Mr. Rest assured that the students' training ceremony will be given twice."
The moment Wei Ying raised her head, Zuo Jinyu suddenly felt a little dazed, "You...what did you say you are? How old is this year?"
"Student... Wei Ying. Will be sixteen in two months." Wei Ying also felt a little strange when Zuo Jinyu stared at him. Did he see that I was dressed as a man? Now it's over...
"Wei Ying...ying...ying..." Zuo Jinyu looked at Wei Ying and felt extremely familiar. He was sixteen years old, like, so similar, so much like Li Shu back then. Wei Ying? Are you Yingying?
When it comes to dressing as a man, Zuo Jinyu saw that Wei Ying was dressing as a man when she entered the house, but at that time, he didn't know Mo Chuyang's intention, so he didn't point it out.
"Teacher, teacher..." It was unusual for Mo Liang to see Zuo Jinyu staring at Wei Ying intently. The teacher would not lose his composure so easily. Has the teacher seen through it?
"Oh, it's okay." Zuo Jinyu realized his incompetence and immediately adjusted his mentality. "Young Master Wei Ying admired me, Hanlin student, and wanted to be my Hanlin student. Since the young master was willing to give me double-teacher gifts, Zuo would not refuse. However, if Mr. Wei Ying lived with everyone as usual, it would be inconvenient." Zuo Jinyu smiled slightly.
"Hmm?" Wei Ying was stunned. What does this mean? You really see it?
"Young Master Wei Ying's ancestors invested in the construction of Lingyuan. Since even Lingyuan was built by your ancestors, it would be unreasonable if you didn't let you live. After entering school, please move into Lingyuan directly." If it was a girl, it would be inconvenient to live with the students. Zuo Jinyu saw through and didn't say it out loud, Chu Yang would never do anything randomly. Since it was Chu Yang's meaning, he did not study it in depth.
"Really?" Wei Ying blinked Shuiling's eyes, with a bit of incredible expression. She thought she needed to ask for something, but she actually let herself live in Lingyuan!
"Of course!" Zuo Jinyu nodded with a smile.
"That's great!" Wei Ying seemed very excited.
Unexpectedly, Mo Liang suddenly pulled Wei Ying's clothes and said lightly, "Since the teacher has agreed, I can't take the ceremony of apprenticeship!"
"Oh, yes, yes! Winter Fu--" When Mo Liang reminded him, Wei Ying realized that she had forgotten the point and was here to become a disciple today. She immediately called out the Winter Fu and signaled to offer the ceremony of sacrificing.
She tidied up her clothes, folded her hands, and knelt slowly on the ground, "Student Wei Ying greeted the teacher!" As she said that, she bowed to Zuo Jinyu San, straightened up, and said, "Students know that the teacher Heytea is good at collecting purple clay pots, so she found a Yixing purple clay pumpkin pot to offer to the teacher."
At the same time, Dong Fu immediately opened the box and showed the purple clay pumpkin pot to Zuo Jinyu. Zuo Jinyu glanced at the purple clay pumpkin pot. Seeing that the pot was extremely unique, the pumpkin shape was vivid and natural. He stroked the beard on his jaw, nodded in appreciation, and then signaled Mo Liang to accept it. Then he stood up and walked towards Wei Ying, and his hand hidden under the silver-white wide sleeves quietly grabbed a pecan in the dried fruit plate on the table.
The gentleman accepted Shu Xiu's ceremony and became a disciple. Wei Ying stood up after another ceremony. Unexpectedly, before he stood up, he suddenly felt a pain in his legs and did not stand firmly, so he fell forward.
"A Ying--" Mo Liang had no time to help him, and Wei Ying hit Zuo Jinyu's arms.
"Be careful!" Zuo Jinyu patted Wei Ying's back and said warmly, but his hand slapped his back inadvertently slid down along his spine, and then touched the depression. After confirming the deformity of the depression, Zuo Jinyu's heart settled instantly.
When Zuo Jinyu encountered the sunken place, Wei Ying trembled, unable to help but stared at it.
What was he doing? According to his actions, it seemed to be confirming the deformity behind me. But why did he know that I had this deformity? Does he know who I am? Does he know my original surname is Hulu?
"Aying, Aying..." Mo Liang saw that Wei Ying was motionless in Zuo Jinyu's arms, and hurried over to help her and hugged her in his arms. Unexpectedly, she was a little dazed. Did the impact of the previous period of the first shock occurred again?
"Ah?" Wei Ying came to her senses, and saw Mo Liang's somewhat anxious expression, she immediately shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
"It's fine, get up quickly." As he said that, Mo Liang helped Wei Ying up. Then he turned to Zuo Jinyu and said, "Teacher, then we will take our leave first."
"Yes." Zuo Jinyu nodded with a smile.
Wei Ying grabbed Mo Liang's sleeve and walked out. When she stepped out of the threshold, she couldn't help but look back at Zuo Jinyu. Seeing that he was still smiling warmly, Wei Ying turned around immediately.
Zuo Jinyu also realized Wei Ying's abnormality, but he didn't say anything. He just watched them leave like this.
Li Shu, you can feel at ease in heaven. She is Yingying, and your daughter Yingying is still alive. She was taken away by your deceased soldier back then, but now she has finally grown up. Don’t worry, I will help you protect her, and death will protect her!
"Aying, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I just saw that the teacher looked a little wrong." After leaving the Wisteria Pavilion, Mo Liang said the abnormality he found.
"It's okay, I just feel a little tired." Wei Ying shook her head.
"Then let's go back to Lingyuan first." Mo Liang saw that Wei Ying's expression was indeed not right, thinking that she had not recovered from her injuries, she might be really tired.
"Yes." Wei Ying still grabbed Mo Liang's sleeve with one hand, but the other hand grabbed the ivory jade pendant hanging around his neck through the clothes.
Brother, I'm a little uneasy. Someone here knows the deformity behind me. I don't know if he knows who I am? I don't know what he has to do with our family? Although I think he is very kind, has no malice towards me, and is also kind, I still feel a little scared and don't know what to do?
