Summer often means sunny.

Especially in Bingbei, when the sandstorm and loess in later generations had not yet embezzled the blue sky, the white clouds slowly floated in the air, which was really refreshing.

The influence and harm brought by the war have now faded from the inside and outside of Pingyang City, and it seems a little leisurely. Under the bright sunshine, the trees are mottled, and the stone slabs on the road seem to emit beautiful light. When pedestrians meet, they greet each other with a smile. From time to time, some bargaining sounds are heard from the scattered shops on the side of the road, mixed with music and laughter from the restaurant, mixed together, becoming part of the beautiful pattern of the city.

As the first farmers near Pingyang who followed General of the Cavalry, many of them have been farming for three years and have begun to enjoy the benefits brought by their own farming. In addition, the first time the jujube was promoted to increase crop yield in Pingyang, and there are also tax reductions and exemptions under the Marquis of Pingyang. These farmers near Pingyang are already quite happy compared to other places.

On the second ring road of Pingyang City, well, the first circle of cities established by Pingyang has become the inner city, and the newly built circle outside naturally becomes the second ring road. However, according to the Han Dynasty, Pingyang stopped at the third ring road at most. As for the song of the fifth ring road like that of later generations, it is probably impossible to achieve it before solving the problems of grain output and transportation. In the northwest corner of the Second Ring Road, some clear voices were heard in a small courtyard.

"Mencius said that the people of the territory do not use the boundary to enclose the borders, the country does not use the dangers of mountains and streams, and the world does not use the benefits of military revolution. Those who have gained the truth will have many helps, while those who have lost the truth will have few helps... and I don't know what Zhongda thinks?"

Sima Yi was cooking tea. When he heard Wang Chang's words, he smiled slightly, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued to take a small wooden spoon, spoon some out of the tea pot, and put it in the teapot. Then, while looking at the kettle that was gradually making noise, he put down the wooden spoon, and said, "What the saint said is the most reasonable, but since ancient times, those who have helped for a while may not have obtained the true Tao... Haha, the so-called people who are lost and few helpers may not know it themselves, and the later historians added it... Therefore, the Tao is also very Tao..."

Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, nicknamed the father of the Eight Wolves, originally wanted to come to Pingyang, but he never expected that after arriving in Taiyuan, Lao Han's leg was in trouble and was in pain, so he had to return to Wen County. However, the yard had been prepared, and Sima Hui looked like he had been rooted in the school for a long time, so he took advantage of Sima Yi and became his own courtyard.

Wang Chang laughed and said, "Therefore, Zhongda is also a person who has attained Taoism... Zhongni said bluntly that the hometown wish is a thief of virtue! Tao is a thief!"

Wang Chang has not known whether it is because Pingyang is rich in meat, or because he is originally a little taller, and although his body is still a little weak, his whole body is quite big, and the fluff on his lips also looks a bit like a general. On the contrary, Sima Yi looks more elegant and his body is smaller. Because both of them are now responsible for the revision of scriptures, they often gather together to discuss issues.

Just like now.

Are the two really discussing what enlightenment is and what loss of enlightenment?

Not, but it is alluding to the rising wave of sounds about the selection of local officials...

Fei Qian has been away from Pingyang for a long time, and even Huang Yueying has moved to Guanzhong. Therefore, some people in the academy are also worried and want to go to Chang'an, but they are reluctant to do these things in Pingyang and the foundation they have laid before, so they naturally start to talk about them.

Among these discussions, the most concentrated voice is to be filial and honest.

Many students in the academy originally thought that the academy was like the Imperial Academy in Luoyang before, and then they could enter the official career by gaining some reputation. However, they did not expect that in the Shoushan Academy, they would use a competition to screen. Then the names of filial sons and chefs I used to test before were basically useless...

At the beginning, of course there was nothing to say. After all, in the competition, those who are strong in ability and low in talent are clear at a glance and can't argue. However, for several consecutive years, they have screened officials from the competition. Moreover, some of the top ones in the competition may think that the official positions are too small, or because they are obsessed with learning, and then refuse to recruit them. Then these vacant official positions are not taken out as usual and continue to be selected...

This is a bit embarrassing.

The orange-heat wheat peeled mandarin is ranked in the front every year, and then he has an official position but doesn’t take it, and then continues to stand in the front! Especially the two orange-heat wheat peeled mandarin Sima Yi and Wang Chang!

As a result, among the crowd, their evaluation of Wang Chang and Sima Yi gradually became worse. Some people said that they were seeking fame, some said that they were pretending, and some people simply said that they were not worthy of their name, and only knew the scriptures but not the practice, so they did not dare to take office or anything...

The great way, the country wishes, and the popularity are actually just a cover, and the ones under the cover are still ugly.

The water boiled and the tea fragrance filled the air.

"Zhongda..." Wang Chang slowly drank a cup of tea, put down the tea cup, and said slowly, "I will leave soon and go to Guanzhong to serve as the Jingzhao Yinhu Cao Shuzuo..."

"Huh?" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Chang and said, "With Wenshu's talent, how can he be inferior to two hundred stones..."

A small scholar of the book will naturally have a rank of two hundred stones.

Not to mention Wang Chang, the title of Wang clan in Taiyuan, and his father once served as the prefect, he could not be a little scholar no matter how he started, right?

Wang Chang shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't Zhongda see how the general of the cavalry use people?"

Sima Yi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but soon shook his head and sighed.

Times change, things change. The time when no one was available, and then a large number of young people took important positions has passed. For example, Pang Tong and Jia Qu served as the prefect of a county with his young resources. The window for the two thousand stone high-ranking officials has been closed. Now, anyone who is invested under the cavalry starts from a small position...

But the problem is that Sima Yi doesn't want to start a position in his childhood, and he thinks that it's too tiring. But the problem is that Sima Yi can't say that Wang Chang's choice is wrong, because that is Wang Chang's own choice after all. Wang Chang did not advise him to follow along, so Sima Yi naturally had no reason to persuade Wang Chang to stay.

"..." Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, I asked someone to buy some wine and dishes, and the bento is practiced as Wenshu!"

"The three servants are close to each other, and they will meet again in the future!" Wang Chang also laughed, "Well! I will indulge myself today and never get drunk!"

…??(＾??＾●)????(●?????＀)??…

During the same time, Cai Yan was also lazy to make tea on the campus deep in the school. From a distance, the sound of some students reciting scriptures came over, making it even quieter in the courtyard.

This kind of quiet has been around for a long time.

Cai Yan originally thought she was used to it, but after Huang Yueying came that day, she took out a set of clothes and gestured on her body for the first time. In the end, she wore the set that she usually wore most...

Actually, this is good.

How many people can do what they like in their lifetime?

Is it really something a woman likes to make soup for her husband and clothes for her children?

In fact, this is also a very normal thing. Many women have this in their lives. Whether they are happy or not, they must do it or not. But if you can choose to do what you like, shouldn’t you feel happier?

Do you like making soup?

Well, it's okay to cook some tea soup, can you make soup...

When Cai Yan sometimes feels this loneliness, she will laugh at herself, and then continue reading, then reorganize, record, check and correct...

But after Huang Yueying really left Pingyang, Cai Yan suddenly felt that this loneliness became even heavier, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Cai Yan collapsed her shoulders and breathed out.

The courtyard in front of me is not big, and you can easily see the other end from one end, but the courtyard in my heart seems to never see the end or the end clearly.

In a corner of the yard, there are a few tea trees that are not visible, stretching their branches and leaves in the sun. They were planted by someone when he left Pingyang, but because that person doesn't like to drink the cooking soup, he only likes to drink tea...

Why didn't you say it before?

The temperature in summer has risen, and even the wind is warm. The long hair that blows on Cai Yan's temples is jumping gently, and the listless Cai Yan is a little drowsy.

Unexpectedly, that little girl Huang Yueying appeared in front of her, and she could also pretend to be dignified...

Cai Yan smiled.

I heard before that Huang Yueying accidentally exploded because she was studying some gunpowder, and even the wall of the yard collapsed. Someone was so scared that he ordered Huang Yueying not to mess with those dangerous things at home from now on.

whee.

If you are trying to mess with something dangerous here...

Cai Yan rolled his eyes for a moment, but sighed slightly. What other dangerous things can be found here? Could it be that some strange beasts can jump out of the book?

The Academy was originally a place for study, and Cai Yan didn't like to make noise, so the courtyard became more and more peaceful and there was no play. If there were any green mountains and clear waters, there were some, but now Cai Yan did not have the so-called mood to browse, let alone go to the Academy.

However, Cai Yan would sometimes go around the peach forest outside the courtyard. Sometimes he would stare in the peach forest and then stare in a daze for a long time.

What about the future?

Cai Yan doesn’t have many specific ideas, nor does he have strong confidence.

Maybe it's just like this for a lifetime...

Looking at books and writing, she felt that she could do well in these things, but she didn't seem to be good at other things. As for that person's foundation, or layout, Cai Yan didn't see it very clearly, nor did she know what would happen. She just knew that it seemed like a big thing, so big that she couldn't imagine it.

But anyway, she thought, she was supporting him.

From afar, there seemed to be some movement in the academy, and then it became quiet again. Cai Yan didn't care. During these days, students often argued with each other because of different sentences in a certain scripture. The source of the dispute was the similarities and differences she found in ancient and modern scriptures.

It's fun to say. If I hadn't searched carefully, some of these things that have been written for a hundred years would have made mistakes...

There is also the sentence reading that often becomes the key point for students to argue. Sometimes they infer word by word, and then gradually more people think that sentence reading is really good. If there were sentence reading in ancient times, it would save a lot of effort now. However, there are still two different opinions on whether to use sentence reading and pass on it. One is definitely used, and the other is that in order to prevent the next generation from forming lazy habits, sentence reading is not suitable for teaching from the beginning.

No matter what, it is a good thing.

As for Cai Gu...

Cai Yan frowned slightly, a little worried.

A thought arose in my heart, but then I suppressed it...

Chen Liu's relatives are not very good-natured, but Cai Yan has been giving him money. In addition to being an elder, because of this, Cai Yan feels that he has another root in his heart, not the kind of duckweed wandering outside.

"Send the Book..." Cai Yan called softly, no one responded, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Send the Book..."

"Dong!"

A dull voice rang outside the pavilion, and Fengshu trotted in while covering his head in panic and said, "Xiao Madam, what's the matter?"

"..." Cai Yan glanced helplessly and said, "Go and bring my piano... Wait, you can wash your hands and face first..." Cai Yan stretched out his fingers and pointed at the corner of Fengshu's mouth.

The whispered "Ah" sounded red, and he quickly lowered his head and ran away as if he was running away, like a panicked deer.

Soon after, Fengshu lowered his head and came back again, put the piano down, lit the incense burner, then took out the copper basin, cleaned Cai Yan's hands, and wiped dry the silk.

Cai Yan stretched out her green jade fingers and felt the warm summer breeze take away the subtle coolness between her fingers. She sat in front of the piano and whipped the strings for a while. Notes like water flowed out:

"The ears of picking the rolls are not filled with a basket.

"Alas, I miss someone, and I will walk around him.
