12. Folding and handing over(1/2)
After He Ge decided to accept Ma Wencai, he had already introduced him to his disciples. After watching the ceremony, several young men were very satisfied with Ma Wencai, the junior brother, and had a very kind attitude.
Don’t underestimate the relationship between "same-school". In many cases, in addition to guarding the family, one’s own connections are also very important factors, otherwise there will be no saying “people are divided into groups”.
You are a famous scholar, so naturally you will not be all Bai Ding in your relationship;
You are a vulgar and incompetent person, and even talented and virtuous persons will not interact with you.
If an unbearable person is involved in the same class, it will have a great impact on their future reputation, and vice versa, outstanding people will also enhance the reputation of their class.
This is true for Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu, the three disciples of the former famous Mr. Shui Jing.
At that time, people often recommend talented and virtuous classmates to their lords, and so many students have to go to the Imperial College for their smooth career. In addition to making the career of officials smooth, most of them also have the intention of making friends with top-notch and high-ranking schools.
He Ge has not many disciples. Except for a young man with a round face and big eyes, He Ge's youngest son He Qi, the other two are scholars who study under He Ge's school, but they are not all students studying in the fifth hall.
As a result, with the establishment of the Imperial College, the gentry were ashamed of entering the Five Pavilions. If they were just studying at the He family, there would be no obstacles.
"Xu Zhijing, a native of Donghai, was from Xu Yuanzhi, and was appointed as the clerk of Qi Shi, and his father, Prince Zhongwu's mansion."
A 17 or 18-year-old boy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he speaks with a sense of arrogance. He is a typical gentry child.
The one who Ma Wencai had dealt with the most in the past was such a peer. He smiled and gave his gift with a warm expression, fully demonstrating his respect for the other party.
"In Xia Chu Xiang, a native of Yangdi, he was at home. His grandfather and father were both in Qishishi."
The young man who was talking stood tall and had picturesque eyebrows, especially his long and narrow peach blossom eyes. He seemed to smile before he could speak, and the person who saw him was afraid to look directly. I guess if the woman saw him, he would be even more blushing.
Yangdi Chu family, this is a high school since the Han Dynasty. Even though his father did not seem to have a prominent official position in the dynasty when he heard this young man's words, Ma Wencai still remembered him in his heart.
In addition, Ma Wencai has also seen many beautiful young men, but few of them can be like this, and he can't help but praise him sincerely:
"Senior Brother Chu is really a 'jade man'! Standing next to Senior Brother Chu, he looks like a native chicken and a tile dog."
Chu Xiang was probably used to being praised like this, but his face was still very shallow. As soon as Ma Wen finished speaking, he suddenly blushed. From his fair face to the back of his neck, he covered his face and said:
"Shame, ashamed, appearance and appearance are born, how is it worth mentioning..."
He Ge probably used to seeing the embarrassed side of this disciple, and laughed and saved him.
"Chu Xiang is still very good at learning, not just because of his outstanding appearance."
"Come on, see you, my senior brother. He is the disciple I received before my father died. Let's be considered your senior brother."
Ma Wencai then realized that there was a person standing in the inconspicuous place behind them. Because the position was too far behind, he thought he was a servant of the He family.
But now I heard the introduction again. This "senior brother" is not only the first to get started, but also a person who is entrusted by Dr. He on his deathbed. Why did he use "let's go" and finally introduce it?
This was almost an incredible move for the He family in Chongli.
Ma Wencai looked at the simple student who walked out of the shadow behind everyone with a question.
This scholar looked quite old. He wore a white Confucian robe that was unified by Confucian scholars in the school, and his straight back gave him a kind of demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant.
His face is mature and firm, unlike many students in the museum who are still childish, but standing there makes people feel a sense of stability that wants to be convinced.
But this kind of demeanor is not aggressive, so when he just stood behind the human side, he naturally became silent.
Ma Wencai estimated that he was at least in his twenties. In this era, the aristocrats would become officials at most at the age of twenty, and they would still study in the school in their twenties. Something must be the reason...
Ma Wencai was speculating on various possibilities in his mind, and watched the "senior brother" walk out from behind Xu Zhijing and Chu Xiang, and saluted him with a smile.
When he passed by Xu Zhijing, Xu Zhijing showed an unbearable expression, as if he had seen something dirty, and his body slightly avoided the side.
Ma Wen noticed this detail, but for some reason this "senior brother" caused Xu Zhijing to be displeased. He just maintained a smile on his face and was about to return the gift after the teacher introduced him.
But He Ge's words completely made Ma Wencai petrified there.
"This is Liang Shanbo of Shanyin. His mother passed away three years ago. He returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. Now he has just left the filial piety and returned to the hall. His father was the disciple of his father before his death. After his father passed away, his father accepted him as his disciple. The father and son were with me, and you two can get close to each other."
While introducing, He Ge tried to bring the friendship between the two closer together.
From the beginning of his contact, he felt that Ma Wen was a kind-hearted and arrogant child. He might not be too pedantic and had a deep family opinion.
Due to his background, Liang Shanbo could not get any support from his peers. If Ma Wen could only help him in the future, his career would be much easier.
But he didn't expect that not to mention that Ma Wen had a family background, even if he didn't, he would never help Liang Shanbo in front of him!
If he doesn't take any harm, he will be considered kind-hearted!
Before he came to Kuaiji School, he had already inquired about this Liang Shanbo. His family members who went to inquire said that there was no Liang Shanbo in the Kuaiji School. He pretended that Liang Shanbo had not yet entered the school and did not continue to inquire. He waited until Zhu Yingtai left home before he rushed to Kuaiji.
Who knew that Liang Shanbo returned to his hometown to mourn and lived in a house. In addition, the new and old museum owners took over, the gentry students dropped out of school one after another, and the old students had already left, so few freshmen in the Kuaiji Academy knew Liang Shanbo in recent years.
When he knew Liang Shanbo in his previous life, Liang Shanbo had already died. He could not know anything except knowing that he was the county magistrate of Yin County, and he didn't even know what his appearance and personality he looked like.
Then he became a lonely ghost. In any legend, Liang Shanbo was both talented and handsome, and he was very handsome, just like a clown, making him less curious about Liang Shanbo.
When he was resurrected from the dead, he never wanted to have anything to do with Liang Zhu again, but he didn't expect that the nightmare would not retreat, which troubled him for more than ten years, forcing him to choose to solve this knot in a positive way.
Now that he saw the "Liang Shanbo" who "seduced" Zhu Yingtai's fiancée, Ma Wen opened his eyes wide and looked at the scholar in front of him, as if he wanted to see his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys clearly.
Liang Shanbo in front of him was not the kind of handsome man praised by the scholars in the south. He had a straight nose, a square mouth, a square face, and was not at all the person who confuses people with lust that Ma Wencai had imagined.
What makes people confused by one look and one behavior should be Chu Xiang's appearance.
But if a handsome man only has a skinny appearance, it is often boring. Liang Shanbo is calm and unpretentious. His gentle expression quietly covers part of his soul, but makes his temperament more meaningful.
If he was not the Liang Shanbo, with his kind temperament and steady behavior, he would probably be happy to date him.
What made Ma Wencai even more annoyed was that no matter how scheming and sophisticated he is now, he is actually a sixteen-year-old boy. Liang Shanbo looks like he is already an adult from any angle!
And he is an adult who seems very reassuring and trusts!
"Where is Brother Liang this year?"
Ma Wencai asked a little unwillingly.
What books can I read in my twenties?
Go home and get married and have children. Don’t seduce other people’s fiancée here!
Liang Shanbo seemed to have not expected Ma Wen to ask such a question. After being stunned, he replied in a daze: "I will be able to win next year."
The sound is low magnetic and does not look like a teenager.
Liar!
Where can nineteen-year-olds have such a mature face!
And this sound!
It is said that someone believes in the twenty-five!
Ma Wencai was full of reluctance.
"Haha, Senior Brother Liang looks a little old."
Only when He Qi, who was standing by, understood Ma Wen, was struggling with something and joking with a smile.
After this, everyone understood why Ma Wencai repeatedly looked at Liang Shanbo.
Xu Zhijing snorted coldly: "The poor son, who goes to the fields to farm every day, does vulgar things, and naturally looks older than us."
Chu Xiang probably felt that Xu Zhijing was really rude to say this, and his expression was a little uneasy. But after looking at Xu Zhijing, he looked at Liang Shanbo, he didn't say anything after all.
"Brother Xu is right. When I was not in the museum, I did study every day, which is also commoner than my peers..."
Liang Shanbo did not show anger, but just touched his face.
Is he that unexpected?
This is how Marvin seems to have suffered a huge blow.
Poor Ma Wencai first encountered Zhu Yingtai and had a completely different impression from the past. He also met Liang Shanbo, who was mature like an elder, and became his fellow disciple. He felt that the absurdity in his life was nothing more than this. He was like sleepwalking, and then he was not as kind as Chu Xiang and Xu Zhijing to treat Liang Shanbo.
Liang Shanbo experienced too many such things. He entered the Kuaiji Academy very early and experienced the first time he was a classmate of scholars and common people. Many times, some gentry often expressed their intention to make friends with him, but once he knew his origin, he was no longer interested in him with Ma Wencai in front of him.
At the beginning, he was a little cynical, but over time, he understood that this was the worldly state and would never feel resentful again.
If others treat him well or not, he will eventually have to live his own life well.
So he just smiled at the "negative" of this new junior brother and did not use his hot face to stick to other people's coldness.
After Ma Wen cleared his thoughts from the chaos and wanted to "know yourself and your enemy" well, Liang Shanbo had already been called away by He Ge for other things, and both of them had already left.
Xu Zhijing and Chu Xiang also had homework, so they said hello to Ma Wencai and left, leaving only He Qi, who was cleaning the temple, looking at him with his hands behind his back and smiling.
"Brother Ma seems to be very interested in that Liang Shanbo."
He Qi stuck out his tongue and looked very naughty.
He is interested in Liang Shanbo?
I am really interested, so interested that I wish there was no such person in this world!
Ma Wencai said "yes" without comment.
"Liang Shanbo studied the Five Classics very well. There were few poor students in the Jiake Department with such outstanding talents. That's why his grandfather accepted him as his disciple without paying attention to his family. But he was always unlucky..."
There was even regret in He Qi's round eyes.
"Brother Ma, don't dislike his background. He values feelings and is very lenient. When you really get along with him, you will find that he is a good friend worth interacting with."
‘Wouldn’t it be better to have him be friends with common people in the same circle as pigs and dogs!’
