Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 11
The screen turns!
"Master, let's find a place to live. It's too uncomfortable to wander every day."

"Uncomfortable?"

The old Taoist glanced at his apprentice, and then at Shen Zhiming, who was pale. How could he not know what his apprentice was thinking.

This is distressing Shen Zhiming.

Qingmei was brought up by herself since she was a child, and she has long been used to eating and sleeping in the open. I say this because Shen Zhiming's body can't bear it these days.

"Master also wants to find a place, but your master and I are penniless, and I have no money to find a place to live."

"We can go to the Taoist temple. With your ability, master, there must be many Taoist temples willing to take us in." Qingmei never understood why her master is so capable, why not find a Taoist temple to settle down.

"Your master, I don't have the face to see Patriarch Sanqing again."

As a disciple of the Sanqing Dynasty, he failed to protect the statue of the Patriarch. For the old Taoist, he felt that he had no face to see the Patriarch again. Therefore, during these years of wandering with green eyebrows, he never took a step into the Taoist temple.

"I know a place. There is an academy on a nearby mountain. It seems that no one dares to live in it because of rumors of ghosts."

The sudden opening of Shen Zhiming, who rarely spoke along the way, made the eyes of the old Taoist look inquisitive, and the Qingmei who was beside him clapped his hands and cheered after hearing it: "The academy is good, with the master here, we don't have to be afraid of ghosts."

So the two masters and apprentices plus Shen Zhiming, the three of them set foot on Yunshan Mountain and Yunshan Academy.

This is the second scene. From the perspective of a bystander, Su Le is like watching a movie.

The camera flowed, and the scene in the third act was in the academy, but the picture was from far to near. Su Le noticed that there was already a stone erected at the foot of the mountain, with a line written on it: There are ghosts in Yunshan, please detour.

In the academy, both Qingmei and Shen Zhiming have grown up a lot. One has become a modest young man, and the other has lost the immaturity and liveliness of his childhood. He always sits gently under the ginkgo tree, watching the boy's life Practicing calligraphy with ink in front.

Teenagers read books and practice calligraphy...

The girl was watching from under the ginkgo tree.

The old Taoist priest was nowhere to be seen.

The fourth act:
"Brother Zhiming, you can definitely pass high school."

At the gate of the academy, Qingmei took a package and handed it to the boy in front of him.

"Qingmei, how about...I don't take the exam and stay in the academy."

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Shen Zhiming suddenly didn't want to take the imperial examination anymore.

"Then how can I do it? I still have to wait for Brother Zhiming, your high school champion, and then come back on a white horse... Hehe..."

The girl's face was slightly blushing. She thought of the time when she and Brother Zhiming sneaked down the mountain to listen to an opera. In that opera, the number one scholar rode a white horse and went home in red to marry his childhood sweetheart.

At that time, she thought again that one day in the future, brother Zhiming would also ride a white horse to marry her.

"But the master won't let me go to the capital to take the imperial examination."

"Master, he said that because he couldn't bear you. Really, at such an old age, he is still like a child."

"That green eyebrow... are you...willing to give up on me?"

The girl's face turned even redder, and Nuo Nuo said: "I...Of course I don't want to part with it, but Brother Zhi Ming, it's not like you're leaving and never coming back."

"Wait for me... Qingmei, I will come back immediately after the exam."

The boy finally took the package and left. The girl stood at the gate of the academy, waving her hand until the boy's figure completely disappeared before letting go, and said softly: "Brother Zhiming likes to eat apricot cakes the most. There are so many ginkgo leaves this year, how many are there?" Make some and eat them when Brother Zhiming comes back."

……

The construction site under the mountain.

A group of workers gathered around and watched the excitement ahead.

Master Zhang manipulated around the stone, muttering something, and then stopped after half an hour, and said to everyone: "Okay, it's all right now."

However, many workers present were still skeptical.

Chen Xinyu, who was at the side, saw the expressions of everyone, thought for a while, walked to the stone, and rubbed the cinnabar red letter with his hand.

"Manager Chen..."

Master Zhang wanted to stop him, but he was a step too late.

"Master has already solved it, otherwise I wouldn't dare to touch this stone."

Chen Xinyu wants to use her actions to tell the workers that there are no ghosts anymore, and everyone can feel at ease.

Seeing Chen Xinyu's actions, those suspicious workers were relieved. The general manager has made such a move, so it must be all right.

The workers dispersed, Master Zhang looked at Chen Xinyu, and said worriedly: "Manager Chen, why are you doing this, the danger has not been lifted yet."

"nothing."

Chen Xinyu naturally wouldn't say that she didn't believe in ghosts at all, and good news came from the hospital. Although the illnesses of those workers hadn't been found yet, their illnesses were under control.

Master Zhang's story about the Taoist priest and the baby girl seemed to her to be a coincidence.

……

Act [-]:
Beijing!

The bustling capital city is very lively because of the release of the list, and what is even more discussed is the matter of catching the son-in-law under the list of the minister.

Although he is not the number one scholar in opera, he is also No.4 after all.

This is a beautiful story, and many scholars are envious of this biography. You must know that even the number one scholar will only start from the sixth rank after entering the court. question.

Minister's Mansion.

"My lord, please forgive me..."

"Shen Zhiming, you don't have to rush to answer me, go back to the library and think about it before answering."

Before Shen Zhiming finished speaking, he was interrupted by the servant and sent out of the mansion.

However, in Shen Zhiming's heart, he had already made a decision, he would not marry the servant's daughter, he only had green eyebrows in his heart, even if he offended the servant.

He was not good at fame, and he took part in the imperial examination, but because of a promise when he was young.

That day the master had something to leave, Qingmei murmured that he wanted to go down the mountain to play, he and Qingmei went down the mountain secretly, just in time for the town fair, there was a troupe singing.

To save Li Lang from his home

Who would have guessed that he would be number one in the imperial list?

The number one scholar in the red robe
wow
so fresh~
……

……

The opera troupe sang "The Female Consort", Shen Zhiming was not interested in this opera, but he saw Qingmei sobbing softly with red eyes.

"Little brother, this story is so touching, I don't even want to be a son-in-law for the sake of my sweetheart."

"That's because she's a woman." Shen Zhiming didn't know where the little junior sister was moved.

"Who said that? I think even if he is a man, he will definitely refuse the princess to marry his sweetheart." Seeing Shen Zhiming's indifferent expression, Qingmei snorted angrily, then rubbed her face and asked, "Little Junior Brother , if it were you, would you refuse to be a son-in-law?"

"I'm just..." Shen Zhiming wanted to say that I didn't want to take any imperial examinations, but when he saw Qingmei's bright eyes, he blurted out: "Yes, the princess is not as good as a childhood sweetheart."

The little girl blushed and lowered her head shyly, and said in a small voice, "If you pass the exam, little brother, then I will marry you."

Although the voice was low, Shen Zhiming heard it and remembered it in his heart.

In the library, Shen Zhiming packed his bags and prepared to leave overnight, but when he packed his bags, an unexpected visitor came to the library.

Seeing the other party, especially the other party's "Second Young Master", Shen Zhiming was in a trance, and memories of childhood appeared in front of him.

He was discovered by his master and Qingmei in the ruined temple. Before that, he didn't know where his home was or who his parents were. He only knew that his name was Shen Zhiming.

His memory only stays in the month before the deserted temple, and he wandered around with no relatives until he met his master and Qingmei.

Shen Zhiming is not curious about his childhood memories, although Qingmei has been comforting him that he should not be abandoned by his parents, but he doesn't care about these, he is very satisfied that he can always be by Qingmei's side in this life.

As for who his parents are, he doesn't want to look for them, no matter what the reason is, even if they have unavoidable difficulties, but abandoning them is abandoning them.

However, when he saw the vicissitudes of the old man in front of him at this moment, and heard the other party say "Second Young Master", the missing memory emerged.

His name is not Shen Zhiming, his name is Shen Yancheng, and he is the second son of the Shen family.

His father was an official, not an official of the Qing Dynasty, but an official of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

When Qing soldiers entered the customs, his father was an official of Nanming. Although he was a civil servant, he was also passionate. He organized the people and the army to fight against the Qing army.

But one night later, a group of soldiers with swords suddenly poured into the house. This group of people killed everyone they saw. Except for him, all the more than 20 members of his family were killed by the sword.

The butler tried his best to protect him and took him out of the city, but the pursuers chased after him. In order to protect himself, the butler asked his son, who is the real Shen Zhiming, to change clothes with him.

"Second son, I named my son Zhiming to let him know that his life belongs to the Shen family. If the master hadn't invited a miracle doctor back then, he would have gone with his mother long ago. Now he should pay back his life." when."

After saying this, the butler pushed him into the grass on the side of the hill, and made him roll down the grass.

"Second Young Master, you must live!"

The last thing Shen Yancheng saw was the butler running towards another direction with his son, attracting the attention of the pursuers.

memory recovery.

Shen Yancheng looked at the old housekeeper who was in tears, and his whole body was trembling.

"Master is blessed by the spirit of heaven, the second son is indeed still alive."

The old butler was very excited, Shen Yancheng and others were in a slightly better mood, so they asked about what happened back then.

After the old butler pushed him down the hillside, he took his son and ran towards the other side of the hillside. There was a cliff over there, and the river was below the [-]-meter-high cliff.

When the pursuers arrived, the old housekeeper took his son and jumped off the cliff without hesitation, because only the pursuers saw "Shen Yancheng" jump off the cliff with their own eyes, so they would not search the other side of the hillside.

Jumping from the cliff into the river, the old butler woke up the next day. He was rescued by a fisherman downstream, and he was raised in the fisherman's house for a month before he recovered from his injury.

After recovering from the injury, the old housekeeper searched everywhere for Shen Yancheng's whereabouts, but at that time Shen Yancheng had already been taken to Yunshan Mountain.

"My father was a courtier of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and my whole family died at the hands of the Qing soldiers. This will not serve the Qing court. Steward, let's leave the capital now."

At this moment, Shen Yancheng only wanted to go back to Yunshan, and he wanted to have green eyebrows.

However, after the old housekeeper heard this, he said excitedly: "Second Young Master, you can't leave, not only can't you leave, but you have to become Li Qingshan's son-in-law."

"why?"

"The reason why those Qing soldiers were able to enter the city back then was because of Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan was from the Xinzhou Prefecture next door. He knew the generals guarding the city of Raozhou. It was he who persuaded one of the generals guarding the city to surrender. Into the city."

"When I came to the capital later, I wanted to find a chance to kill Li Qingshan to avenge the Shen family, but Li Qingshan had done too many bad things, knew that there were many enemies, and had guards when he went out, so he didn't even have a chance to use his mobile phone. Right now is a great opportunity. "

Shen Yancheng was silent.

"Second son, if you don't kill Li Qingshan, the Shen family has more than 20 people, how can the master, wife and eldest son rest in peace?"
