My Confucian Father

Chapter 5 Reading Birds

After getting Xu's permission, Zhao Fulai went to prepare for Su Mu's admission.

Although Yashan Academy was founded by Confucian sages, to let Su Mu go in to study, he still had to say hello to Yashan Academy.

So he personally went to the academy of Yashan Academy to meet with the dean, and told him about letting Su Mu enroll.

When the dean of Yashan Academy heard that Su Mu was going to enroll, he was so shocked that he pulled off several beards, and then agreed without hesitation.

Although it is said that if you want to enter Yashan Academy, you must go through many selections, but what is Su Mu's identity?
The son of a dignified Confucian saint!

Not to mention going to the academy with such an identity, even if he was asked to give up the position of dean, he would not refuse.

Soon, the news spread throughout Yashan Academy.

Immediately after that, in just one day, everyone in Shengjing City knew about it, causing an uproar!
"My God! Mr. Su has left the mansion, and he is going to study in Yashan Academy!"

"It's been 16 years, for 16 years, Mr. Su has never shown his face to the outside world, and now he is finally out of the house!"

"The parent and son of a Confucian sage, I really don't know what kind of amazing and talented person he will be!"

"If you don't sing, you're done. Once you sing, it will be amazing!"

"Why did Mr. Su not go out to study at the government until now? I haven't heard any news before. It's really strange."

"What do you know? No matter how good the outside knowledge is, it can compare to the family background of a Confucian sage? You can't hear about Mr. Su, it's because he keeps a low profile!"

"That's right! Look at the sons of princes, all of them are fighting cocks and walking dogs. Only Mr. Su has a very good background, but he still devotes himself to studying in the mansion. He is worthy of being the son of a Confucian sage!"

"So that's it, I've been taught! I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so calm at such a young age, and he could endure 16 years of studying without leaving the palace."

"As expected of being the son of a Confucian sage, I have a Confucian and Taoist successor!"

……

Almost everyone in Shengjing was discussing this matter.

There is no way, Su Mu, the son of a Confucian sage, is too mysterious. For so many years, outsiders have never even heard of him, let alone seeing him!

You must know that Confucian saints are the youngest among the five great saints, and saints from other countries are at least over a hundred years old.

Not to mention their sons, some of their descendants even have great-grandsons, and most of them are already famous.

Only Su Mu, the son of a Confucian sage, is unknown.

Because the aura of Confucian saints is too bright, even Su Mu has received great attention.

Everyone is wondering how amazing this son of a Confucian sage, who has been closed for 16 years, will be when he is born.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Shengjing was in turmoil.

All forces have turned their attention to it.

Even the news spread to the palace, even Emperor Yan knew about it.

The palace, the imperial study.

An eunuch walked through the beaded curtain, bowed to the figure behind the dragon case and reported: "Your Majesty, just got the news that Su Sheng's son will enter Yashan Academy to study in three days."

This news made Emperor Yan stop holding the pen.

Emperor Yan is over sixty years old, but his temples are only slightly white, and he still looks energetic.

The Great Yan Dynasty advocated the virtue of fire, so even the dragon robes were red in color, which set off the majesty and solemnity of Emperor Yan.

After hearing the report from the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs below, Emperor Yan stared at him slightly and asked, "Are you talking about the son of a Confucian sage who has never left the palace for 16 years?"

Can't hide the surprise in his tone.

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodded: "Reporting to Your Majesty, not long ago, the steward of the saint went to the dean of Yashan Academy and told Mr. Su about studying. Now the matter has spread in the city, and it is said that it is Mrs. Su's intention."

After listening to Yandi, he fell into deep thought.

He actually knew that Su Mu lacked a heavenly soul by birth. The Confucian sage told him about it 15 years ago, but he couldn't cure it even though he had exhausted all the treasures in the palace.

And the reason why the Confucian saint left the Great Yan Dynasty 15 years ago was also to go out to find the Soul Condensing Grass, and he knew all this inside information.

Now that Su Mu is actually going to study at Yashan Academy, this also means that the Heavenly Soul has returned to its place!
This made Emperor Yan overjoyed.

"Could it be that the Confucian sage found the Soul Condensing Grass? But why didn't he come back..."

Emperor Yan frowned. He has been paying attention to the whereabouts of Confucian saints all these years, but there has never been any news.

Although the world has been peaceful since the human-monster war many years ago, and the human race has no more swordsmanship, but the Dayan Dynasty does not have a saint in charge, and he has always been uneasy.

Seeing that Emperor Yan frowned and said nothing, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing."

"Su Sheng is such an astonishingly brilliant genius. It is said that a tiger father has no dogs, and Mr. Su will certainly not be inferior to his father."

"Maybe Mr. Su can inherit the mantle of Saint Su and become a person comparable to a Confucian saint."

Emperor Yan sighed when he heard the words: "The saints in the world are only five fingers in number, and those who are like Confucian saints don't come out in a thousand years. It is already a blessing for my Great Yan Dynasty to have one. It is so difficult for two saints to be in the same dynasty. I dare not dream."

Since ancient times, it has been remarkable for a dynasty to produce a saint, and more often there is no one.

You must know that the Dayan Dynasty was originally the weakest among the five kingdoms of the Zhongzhou Human Race, until a Confucian saint came out, and the country became prosperous and powerful in just a few decades, which shows how much a saint has an impact on the luck of the dynasty .

Today, in the five kingdoms of the Zhongzhou Human Race, each country has a saint, which is a grand occasion that is rarely seen in the ages.

It is precisely because of this that they can resist the iron hooves of the Yaozu.

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said: "Your Majesty is the son of the real dragon. His martial arts and martial arts are the best among the emperors of all dynasties. Even if there is a second saint, it should be."

"It's just your flattering sound." Emperor Yan threw the Zhubi on the head of the eunuch who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and cursed with a smile, but he was obviously in a good mood.

After all, since the founding of Dayan, a saint was born during his reign.

Such achievements will surely be recorded in the annals of history forever.

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs smiled, picked up the imperial pen and offered it: "Your Majesty's lesson is that the servant is convicted."

In the palace, it is necessary to please the emperor's favor for a long time, and it is obvious that the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the true meaning of it.

Emperor Yan took the imperial pen from the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Su Mu is 16 years old this year, so he has reached the age for marriage, right?"

In this day and age, marriage has always been very early.

Regardless of whether a man or a woman reaches the age of 16, they are already able to marry. Therefore, it is common for women or men in their 30s to become grandparents.

Emperor Yan also suddenly thought of this. Su Mu is now 16 years old, just at the age of marriage.

Entering Yashan Academy to study now means that the Heavenly Soul has returned to its place.

If Su Mu can be recruited as his son-in-law, the relationship between the royal family and Confucian saints will become closer.

The most important thing is the blood of Confucian saints. If the royal family can produce a saint in the future, it will be a great thing for the entire regime of the Dayan Dynasty.

"The slave feels..."

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was clever, and he could understand the implication of Emperor Yan's words, but before he could agree, Emperor Yan waved his hand.

"Forget it, it's not urgent, we'll talk about it later."

Now that Su Mu has just returned to normal, it seems too utilitarian to rush to give a marriage at this time, so you might as well wait.

And he didn't think about the candidate.

After all, Su Mu is the son of a Confucian sage, so it is not enough to marry a princess randomly, the status must be equal.

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs bowed slightly and stepped aside.

The imperial study room was once again quiet.

……

Su Mu has been staying at home for the past few days, learning various etiquette and rules from the housekeeper Zhao Fulai.

For example, what kind of salute to do when meeting someone, the choice of words and sentences when speaking, etc. These are all things to learn.

Because these etiquette rules are necessary for daily social interaction, and I went to a place with the most scholars like Yashan Academy, it would be a shame if I did these things wrong.

But fortunately, Su Mu's memory is already quite outstanding, and he kept it firmly in his heart after just learning it once.

This also made Zhao Fulai very excited, and more and more believed that Su Mu was born with intelligence.

Three days passed in a flash.

Soon it was time to enter Yashan Academy to study.

Su Mu put on the Confucian robe that Xu had prepared for him, and paired it with a jade ring. He could be called a gentleman like jade.

Seeing Su Mu's outfit, Xu became more and more satisfied: "It's a good thing that your appearance doesn't match your father's, otherwise mother should worry about how to choose a wife for you."

Does my father look so ugly...

Su Mu mourned for a moment in silence for his father who was lying on the gun for no reason, and said to Xu with a smile: "Mother saw that she was a heartthrob when she was young. It is a blessing for father to find a daughter-in-law like mother. Of course, mother is not old now." .”

"If the two of us go out, we will definitely be regarded as siblings, Uncle Fulai, don't you think so?"

Su Mu looked at Zhao Fulai who was next to him, and the corner of the latter's mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded.

He can flatter, but he can't be as nasty as Su Mu.

My young master's intelligence seems to have gone in the wrong direction.

"Slick tongue, you will deceive many girls with your mouth in the future, just like your father."

Xu Shifeng stared, but couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Su Mu immediately smelled gossip when he heard the words, but naturally he didn't dare to ask in front of Mrs. Xu, so he silently wrote it down in his heart, and planned to gossip slowly when he turned around.

"My lord, it's almost time."

At this time, Zhao Ming drove the carriage to a slow stop at the gate of Zhenyao Wangfu.

Su Mu was going to Yashan Academy to go to school, and Zhao Ming followed him as a companion.

After Mrs. Xu bid farewell, Su Mu walked towards the carriage and was deeply shocked at the first sight.

The carriages are luxurious and spacious, surrounded by the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.

The ones pulling the cart were not ordinary horses, but six tall and mighty beasts.

The emperor drives nine, and the sage drives eight.

As the parent and child of a sage, Su Mu has the same travel specifications as a prince, and can take six cars.

As Zhao Ming waved his whip, the carriage moved away slowly.

With such a travel specification, anyone who looks at it will know that the person sitting inside is an extremely powerful person.

……

This is the first time Su Mu saw the world outside the palace.

During this period of time, he has been staying in the mansion, until today, he really walked out of the mansion and came outside.

As the imperial capital of the Dayan Dynasty, Shengjing is the most prosperous city in the entire Dayan. The wide streets can accommodate dozens of horse-drawn carriages galloping side by side.

There are row upon row of houses on both sides, large and small shops open in an orderly manner, street vendors and various pedestrians coming and going, together forming this prosperous and prosperous scene.

"Is this the prosperous age of mortals in the world of Xianxia?"

Su Mu looked at this scene through the gap of the car window, and felt that even in his previous life, the most affluent Tang and Song peak periods, it couldn't compare.

Being in the middle always made him feel unreal.

He is really in this era now.

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Does this look silly? I really don't know much."

Su Mu suddenly turned his head to look, and then was taken aback.

I saw the big red bird staying in its compartment at some point, reclining on the soft seat, with a bunch of candied haws in its mouth that it didn't know where to find.

"When did you come here? You are not staying at home, what are you doing here?"

"And where did you steal this string of candied haws?"

Su Mu grabbed its neck and lifted it up.

I didn't see it when I got up this morning, thinking it was hiding somewhere to eat again, but I didn't expect it to sneak into the car.

The big red-haired bird sneered when he heard the words: "What are you, a yellow-mouthed kid? I have been doing things all my life, why should I explain to you!"

Su Mu's face was expressionless, and the strength in his hands gradually increased.

"Hey—!"

The big red-haired bird's tongue stuck out from being strangled, and it repeatedly patted Su Mu's hand and said, "I bought it with money! I bought it!"

"Bought it? Do you still use silver?"

Su Mu was very surprised and expressed his disbelief.

The big red-haired bird said angrily: "Master Bird, I am a spirit beast! I am even a reading bird, how can I eat free food? Who do you look down on!"

As it spoke, it opened its mouth and spit out a piece of silver.

So Su Mu let go of it, took away all the silver and candied haws, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, confiscated."

The big red-haired bird was dumbfounded, deeply felt the cunning of human beings, and was so angry that his whole body trembled and his legs felt cold.

"The human race is indeed the most cunning race! This guy is as cunning as his father."

Su Mu finished eating the candied haws in his hand, and the carriage drove out of Shengjing and out of the city.

Yashan Academy is not in the city, but on the Yashan outside Shengjing City. It has to be said that going to school is really strenuous.

At the same time, Su Mu also noticed that there were many gorgeous carriages on both sides of the road heading in the same direction as them, all of them were rushing to Yashan, and many students were walking.

They all wore the same Confucian uniforms.

This is the rule in the academy. In order to reduce the mentality of comparing wealth and status, all students wear the same clothes.

However, Su Mu also saw many tourists in other clothes who were not disciples of the academy, and they also rushed to the direction of Yashan.

After asking Zhao Ming, he explained: "Today is the annual spring poetry meeting of the academy, and everyone can participate, whether they are students of the academy or not."

"Poetry meeting?"

Hearing Zhao Ming's explanation, Su Mu suddenly became excited.

He only had two hobbies in his life, one was women, and the other was pretending.

I didn't expect to be able to catch up with the poetry meeting on the first day of school. This is a great opportunity to show my holiness in front of others!

Those poems and articles he memorized will come in handy so soon!
it is good!It's so good!

Su Mu took a deep breath, and began to ponder in his heart which poem to use to make the first shot in this world.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a furtive red-haired man with a fierce look in his eyes.

"If you dare to pull, I will insert this stick through your ass."

"Do you believe it or not?"

The big red-haired bird who was about to secretly shit on his clothes suddenly tightened his ass when he heard this, and his whole body went stiff.

It looked up at the candied haws stick that Su Mu was playing with in his hand, and quickly flew to Su Mu's shoulder to please him: "Where, where, Master Mu, you misunderstood."

"I'm a book bird. How could I do such a vulgar thing? That's something only soldiers can do."

Zhao Ming, who was driving, clenched the reins and gritted his teeth.

One day, he must stew this bird!
