Hundreds of schools follow

Chapter 3 Is it so vulgar right from the start?
In front of the school gate, there are actually many people like Tan Ying who go to greet people.

There are older parents, there are retainers who are in their prime, and there are also young classmates and friends.

Some wore rough garments dedicated to farming, while others wore oil robes worn by craftsmen.

There is Qin Guoshuai like Tanying who is dressed in a tight shirt, and there is Yan Renxing who has long boots, short sleeves and pockets all over his body.

These people are not only different in class and industry, but even in different nationalities.

Just as Emperor Guangwu advocated: Regardless of the rich and the common people, both inside and outside the country can seek the Tao.

However, there are many who seek the Tao, but few who attain the Tao.

It is not easy to get here.

If you want to participate in the road selection of Jixia Academy, you must first pass self-recommendation and face-to-face recommendation.

Self-recommendation is to send a letter, briefly introduce one's background and knowledge, and attach a paper to talk about one's own views on something, a person, or a theory.

Taking Qin Xuegong as an example, the number of self-recommendation letters received each year is about 5. The teachers will select more than a thousand people from them, and go to the kings of various countries to host interviews. Jing participated in the election.

Proportionally speaking, being able to get here is at least one of the best talents in a hundred.

Faced with such a selection mechanism, Tan Ying, who is nothing but handsome, can't even pass the test of self-recommendation.

Not to mention that he has nothing to say, just showing his identity as a "student with the royal family" when he reported his family name is enough to cool him down.

As for a dignitary like Ying Yue, it was only logical that he had come to this point.

But how did the children of farmers and craftsmen overcome the obstacles?
In a mediocre environment, how did they develop a different kind of talent, and how did they get discovered by the teacher with a few self-recommendations?
What will you learn after being selected?
With what kind of posture?
What kind of idea can be favored by heaven?

Wouldn't the moment of enlightenment be very refreshing?

Curious, I really want to know.

Tanying drooled unconsciously.

During the anticipation, the rumbling sound gradually rose, and the two huge stone palace gates slowly opened to the left and right.

After the Taoist election, the bachelor returns.

The sandalwood crane stood among the windward crowd, and through the gradually widening gap, one could finally see the elite bachelors of this era.

It was a group of high-spirited and striding heroes.

There is no need for clothing to show off. Their eyes and gestures are full of strength and future.

Even the rich and powerful are all dressed in plain and simple clothing, converging the content in the details.

If you have to let people know who you are, a few faint textures on the belt and a delicate brooch on the neckline are enough.

As for those ordinary people who were not born well, they were neat and tidy, with neither humbleness nor arrogance between their brows, and they walked with the powerful and dignified in a dignified manner, already having the demeanor of a genuine scholar.

Just as Tan Ying was staring up, a lecturer in white robes was already standing inside the door, and said to the students:

"The list will be published in Youshi, and those who are selected can bring their companions into the palace for a chat."

After the words, walk away.

Seeing the lecturer go away, a thin male bachelor finally lost his patience, jumped over the threshold, and ran towards his family with a happy face.

All of a sudden, all the students let go of their airs, quickened their pace, and stepped out of the school in joy or depression.

Tan Ying smiled.

It turned out that the old-fashionedness just now was all pretending to show the teacher.

After all, they are a group of young people in their [-]th and [-]th years, and the city government still can't suppress their vitality.

Behind the running crowd, Tan Ying saw a short boy with a square face from a distance.

No matter how others run, he still maintains his own pace and expression.

This young man is naturally the Fourth Young Master Ying Yue.

Since Emperor Guangwu unified the name standard, the Qin royal family also put down the surname "Zhao" and unified it with Ying as the surname.

So Ying Yue is indeed called Ying Yue, neither Qin Yue nor Zhao Yue.

Now, under the cultural background of the virtuous corporal, even if he is a son, it is no problem to call him by his first name in private.

However, in public, as a courtier and servant, he should still be called Young Master Yue.

But the moment Tan Ying saw Ying Yue's face, she felt like a conditioned reflex, her face was full of joy, and she almost blurted out:

My son, here is the father!

what.

Hold.

wrong……

Tanying's back felt a chill.

Fortunately, I held back at the last moment.

It turns out that for thousands of years, the fact that teenagers respect each other's father has never changed.

Tan Ying and Ying Yue had always played like this in private before, so as Tan Ying, who had integrated the memory of the original owner, when she saw Ying Yue's face, she had a strong desire to call out her son.

But seeing Ying Yue only smiled from a distance, as if he had guessed what Tanying was thinking from the shape of his mouth and expression, he also came over with a smile and waved his hands: "Don't call me, my son, you are like rat shit in the food, for my father, I saw it from a long distance. gone."

Tan Ying suddenly smiled like a flower.

So vulgar right from the start?
Looking around again, others seemed to have not noticed their conversation.

It seems that even the young master, in this election, is not a star that everyone is looking forward to, but just one of the many students.

Furthermore, Ying Yue's face and figure were really hard to spot in the crowd.

It's not that it's ugly, it's just that apart from the face shape, I can't find any special features, and I can blend in smoothly with clothes of any industry.

At this time, he was wearing a gray shirt and he had no airs. It was even more impossible for people to think of a dragon and phoenix like Mr. Qin.

It is a very reasonable thing for such an ordinary boy to laugh with the classmates who came to welcome him as father and son.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, Tan Ying hurried to meet her, and wrapped her arms around Ying Yue's shoulders before the gate.

Although theoretically this is the first time they met, Tan Ying's memory has long been integrated into the friendship of classmates for many years. Seeing Ying Yue is like meeting Fa Xiao, and she completed this series of actions naturally.

"How did you go?" he asked bluntly.

"Not too good." Ying Yue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and walked towards the wall in deep thought, "Unexpectedly, the theme this time is astronomy, and we are asked to explain our views on the heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars. Regarding these things, what I know and think It's really limited."

He was just talking casually, and he didn't even expect Tan Ying to understand.

But Tan Ying covered her mouth in shock.

astronomical? !
So advanced?

The so-called Daoxuan, shouldn't it be like the imperial examination with an expanded syllabus, who can memorize a hundred classics?
Tan Ying swallowed quickly, rubbed her hands together and asked, "The sun, the moon, and the stars have not been settled yet, have they?"

"Yes, each family has its own opinion." Ying Yue leaned his back against the wall, raised his head and pinched his cheeks, and said, "I can think of two test points, one is to determine which one we prefer; the other is Let's see if we have our own unique insight into the system."

"That is to say, there is no standard answer for this election?" Tan Ying stared.

"Of course, it's always been like this. What you need to seek Taoism is clear thinking and enlightenment, not rigid learning and recitation." Ying Yue suddenly turned his head and looked at Tanying incomprehensibly, "Aren't you the one who bothers to study and seek Tao the most? Why are you so excited today?"

Tanying laughed, and said in a low voice after making sure that there was no one left or right, "Isn't this caring about my son?"

Ying Yue couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he heard the words, and he punched Tanying in the chest: "You and I are adults, and I'm afraid you will suffer if you say this in front of others. After all, since I became a king, the internal affairs of my family... It's all taboo."
