Chapter 148 Linlu Academy
Linlu Academy is located outside Wangque East City.

It is hidden in the secluded and beautiful Linlu Mountain hundreds of miles away.

Adjacent to Lidu.

It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains on one side and accompanied by water on the other.

Linlu Academy is one of the two Confucian academies in Wangquezhou.

Thousands of string songs are endless, and the context is endless.

Occupy half of the Confucianism and orthodoxy in Wangquezhou.

It is the holy place for reading that Confucian scholars at the foot of Yizhou Mountain dream of.

A scholar who walked out of Linlu Academy.

There are great talents who govern the country and help the country, there are famous Confucianists with splendid writing and profound knowledge, and there are lonely scholars with noble ambitions who hide in the mountains and rivers.

Spread Confucianism and Taoism on the mountain, and fight against hundreds of schools.

In Zhao Rong's view, Linlu Academy is the "lighthouse" of Zhongzhou Confucian Temple built on Wangque Island.

Although the storm vortex of hundreds of schools of thought in the Xuanhuang world, questioning and contending, is in the distant Tunanzhou.

But other continents in the world were also hit by the big waves raised by the storm.

Zhao Rong has traveled all the way, passed through those dynasties, and has seen no fewer than ten schools that are dominated by the rulers of the dynasties, and Confucianism and Taoism are just one of them.

Other schools of thought are also arranged in Wangque Island.

However, according to Zhao Rong's observation, the continuous cultivation of scholars by Linlu Academy and Siqi Academy has made Confucianism one of the few prominent schools on and off Wangquezhou Mountain, and the atmosphere of advocating Confucianism is quite prevalent.

about its establishment.

It is rumored that at first a Confucian sage led his disciples on a study tour from Central Continent to this remote place.

Respectfully abide by the teaching of the most sage teacher "a gentleman must see a big river when he sees it", and stop to watch the water.

If the Confucian sage has realized something.

So he left his disciples, established an academy here, and inherited the culture...

This morning.

The wind is sunny, the mountains and forests are full of birdsong, and the air is fresh.

The sound of the rolling waves of the big river not far away came faintly.

Zhao Rong took a deep breath and jumped off the carriage.

He smiled back.

"Miss Xiaowan, you have worked hard."

Lu Wan, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced at Zhao Rong who disappeared all afternoon yesterday and came back at night, and always felt that he seemed a little different from before.

But it's hard to tell what's different.

Still wearing the same simple Confucian shirt as before, um, it seems that the pair of beautiful jade plaques on the waist are gone, and today I suddenly carried a bookcase on my back. Is this going to Linlu Academy to study?
She had also brought a few confident and wealthy scholars here, but most of them...

Lu Wan shook her head, stopped thinking about it, turned to smile and said:

"Mr. Zhao, if you want to go a long way, you can just ring the bell and say goodbye."

Zhao Rong nodded slightly, waved his hands, and turned to leave.

Soon.

He walked through a small forest.

Looking up, in the distance is a large-scale, rigorous and regular building complex.

The exterior of the academy reveals its clear water gables, which are gray and white, especially fresh and bright.

It is built on the mountain, with the front low and the back high, layered on top of each other, in a well-proportioned manner.

It is also covered by trees and decorated with pavilions, with undulating gables and cornices.

Overall simple and dignified, elegant and generous.

In Zhao Rong's eyes, it constitutes a peaceful and beautiful picture scroll of mountains and rivers blending together leisurely.

Zhao Rong's eyes were strange, he carried a bookcase on his back, and his pace quickened.

Although the academy is hidden in the deep mountains and forests in the outskirts, pursuing a quiet and leisurely reading environment, there are also fireworks around it.

After all, there are many gentlemen and students in this entire academy, and there are also many scholars who come from afar.

Many open-air taverns, elegant inns, paper and ink bookstores, antique shops and other buildings are scattered around the academy.

It's a very lively little market.

When Zhao Rong came from afar, he was not very noticeable.

Because there are many scholars like Zhao Rong around.

However, some are dusty and poorly dressed, while others are embroidered and unparalleled in luxury.

But it seems that they are all here to study.

Zhao Rong stepped into the crowd, looked left and right, reached back, and put away the flag with the word "Lin Lu" embroidered on the bookcase calmly.

Because there are too many scholars who hang this flag...

He blinked, feeling that it was not easy to enter Lin Lu Academy.

but……

Zhao Rong glanced left and right, and smiled crookedly.

We are different.

After a while, he came to the gate of Lin Lu Academy.

I saw that the academy was not as grand and grand as Zhao Rong imagined, even worse than the gate of the Great Chu State Prison where Zhao Rong used to be.

It is solemn and simple, without any carvings and paintings, but elegant decoration.

At first glance, it looks ordinary, not at all like the row of a famous Confucian academy in the whole state.

But Zhao Rong thinks that this is actually the most popular.

There is a pair of couplets pasted outside the gate of the academy.

Lonely and talented; Yusi is prosperous.

Horizontal batch: Linlu Academy.

There is momentum.

He nodded lightly.

Very good, just like me, be low-key and high-key...

I saw that there were not many people at the gate of the academy, only some Confucian students in standard clothes and jade bi were occasionally entering and leaving.

These should be the scholars of the academy. According to Lin Wenruo, all the scholars of the academy will wear jade biscuits.

Zhao Rong found that there seemed to be not many people outside the gate.

He looked around, a little strangely.

Didn’t they hear that there are countless scholars from the mountains coming here to study every year? There were quite a lot of scholars on the way just now. Why did they disappear as soon as they arrived at the gate of the academy?

Zhao Rong felt something was wrong and turned around.

After some inquiries, I learned that Lin Lu Academy's assessment for recruiting students this year has ended not long ago.

Even the entrance ceremony for new disciples had been held a few days ago.

The three-year, although extremely strict, chance to enter Linlu Academy has passed.

Many failed scholars who were not selected went back disheartened.

Of course, there are also many scholars who are not discouraged, and will still stay near Linlu Academy to look for another slim opportunity, such as... being valued by a certain academy gentleman and recommended to enter the academy.

The reason why there are no scholars waiting at the gate is because the gentlemen of Linlu Academy generally do not go through the main entrance, but usually enter and exit through the side entrance on the north side.

Zhao Rong was stunned, is there such a way?
He followed the general direction, walked around the academy, and arrived at a side door after a while.

Looking from a distance, there are crowds of people.

Zhao Rong took a closer look, and saw that there were all scholars similar to him, with roughly the same clothes and different expressions, and they were looking forward to it in front of the side door.

He looked around for a while with interest.

The scenery around the side door is beautiful. It was originally a quiet place, but there were too many people waiting, so the elegance was gone, and it was very lively.

The side door was facing a bamboo forest, Zhao Rong walked under the shade of the trees, and did not crowd in front of the door with the large group of scholars in front.

Under the bamboo grove, there were some scholars standing or sitting around Zhao Rong, as if they were resting.

Zhao Rong glanced at the head-scratching crowd in front of him.

So, they are all waiting for the master of the academy to go out, and then each depends on his own ability?

He frowned.

But what's the use of you pushing so far?

Zhao Rong leisurely waited behind.

Slowly, the sun was rising and it was almost noon.

But the wooden door, which was so tightly closed that it didn't even have a couplet, still didn't open.

No one came out from the academy.

But the crowd crowded at the door was very quiet, almost no one communicated, they were all waiting quietly.

And except for a small number of people who are companions, most of the scholars seem to come alone, looking at others with more or less indifference and guard.

Zhao Rong was not in a hurry, he stood under the shade of the tree, staring at the wooden door, took out dry food and water, and started eating.

It seemed like he was eating lunch by himself.

A lot of people around noticed him, but most of them looked at him for a few times, then moved away, expressionless.

Zhao Rong bit his dry food and had a panoramic view of all this.

Well, it's already noon for these people, and they haven't replenished their food... It seems that Mr. Academy is coming out soon, is get out of class over?I guess so.

Zhao Rong looked at the expressions of the people around him staring at the wooden door seriously, thinking casually.

At this moment.

Squeak——

The wooden door was opened from the inside.

The crowd boiled instantly, and many people in front of them all changed their expressions and pushed forward...

Zhao Rong put down the dry food in his hand, and stood up to look at it in an instant.

I see.

After the wooden door was fully pushed open... no one?
Zhao Rong tiptoed.

Oh, someone.

He barely passed through the crowns of everyone's heads, and saw a slightly low and slender figure.

It was a little bookboy in blue, with red lips and white teeth...

Oh, just a little girl.

Zhao Rong curled his lips, and he could tell at a glance that he had seen many ways.

but……

Hey, why are those people at the door retreating after seeing this little book boy?
