"You two don't have to come with me." Outside Jiuyun Study, Qiu Yan looked at Chen Jing and Chen Yun and said.

"Brother Qiu, don't be polite. We have selfish motives for coming here this time," Chen Jing said bluntly, "The status of the two of us in the Chen family has risen greatly because our ancestors value it. The root cause still lies with you. Naturally, we cannot easily Leave, besides, since the people from Jiuyun Study have said that they will have arrangements for you to come over, one more person will give them more help. "

While talking, footsteps came from the study courtyard, the courtyard door opened, and a young man came out.

At first glance, this man was dressed as a servant, no different from an ordinary servant, but Qiu Yan could see a few flashes of blue veins from the hands that opened the door, and his strength was hidden. It was obvious that he possessed superior martial arts. He wanted to explore, but when his thoughts moved, the man had already reacted and looked over with vigilance before the perception spread.

His eyes swept across the three of them, and finally landed on Chen Yun. Among the three, Qiu Yan and Chen Jing were dressed in Confucian attire, but Chen Yun's appearance was quite Jianghu.

However, after taking a quick look, the man judged the identities of the three people from where they were standing. He knew that Qiu Yan was the leader, so he asked Qiu Yan, "Why are you knocking on the door right now?"

After Qiu Yan came out of the Chen family's ancestor's courtyard, he went directly to the banquet. Now that he had finished eating, the night had just spread over the city. However, in ancient times, not many people would choose to visit at this time.

Qiu Yan cupped his hands and said: "Please let me know, please tell Qiu Yan of Yuanning Mansion to come and visit the master of Jiuyun Zhai as promised." His actions were so polite and thoughtful that the man was slightly surprised. He had been guarding the door for a long time. , those who came to visit, even scholars without fame, did not think highly of him, and were rarely treated with courtesy, all of a sudden. Just make him feel good about it.

But immediately after, the man was distracted by the meaning of Qiu's words.

"Yuan Ning Qiu Yan? This name sounds familiar." He thought about it, his expression suddenly changed.

When introducing oneself to others, it is common in this era to mention one's place of origin. Qiu Yan's hometown, Qingchang County, is a county under Yuanning Prefecture. Therefore, his place of origin can be called Yuanning.

However, Yuanning Mansion is located on the border and is considered a remote place in the capital. Many people are not aware of it, but the name Qiu Yan has become a household name in recent days. Although the man who opened the door didn't know Shilin well, it was impossible that he had never heard of Qiu Yan. So after being surprised, he respectfully bowed to Qiu Yan.

"It turns out it's the Number One Scholar. Please wait a moment, Number One Scholar. I'll go and inform you." After that. He didn't dare to waste a moment, turned around and went into the hospital, walking like the wind.

The man's feet moved very regularly, his shoulders were still, his spine was undulating, and his posture was a little weird. But in Qiu Yan's eyes, he knew it was a method of walking with strength. It's like practicing while walking.

"The people in charge of the gate of Jiuyun Study have such ambition and cultivation, it can be seen."

Not long after, the man came back and said to Qiu Yan and the others: "Please come in, Lord Zhuangyuan." He was not worried that Qiu Yan would impersonate him and pretend to be the number one scholar in the capital. He was definitely an old man drinking arsenic. Too long to live.

After walking into the courtyard, within a few steps, the sound of reading could be heard.

"Reading in the middle of the night is so enjoyable." Qiu Yan praised.

There are two sides of the corridor in the study courtyard. There are many flowers and plants planted. It is spring, and you can faintly see the lush greenery. The courtyard is filled with vitality, which matches the sound of books and brings a sense of advancement. The natural atmosphere spreads and makes people feel relaxed.

After turning a few corners, they arrived outside a small study.

The name Jiuyun Study is a study. In fact, it is not just a study, but is similar to a small academy. However, there is no Saint Hall, so it cannot be named after the academy.

There are many houses in this courtyard, such as the small study in front of me, located in the northwest corner, next to an artificial pool with weeping willows beside it.

This house is mainly made of pillars and beams, and is surrounded by partition doors. The doors are now open, making the inside and outside transparent. People sitting in the house can see the pool and the night outside by raising their heads slightly.

Quiet and leisurely, the sound of reading comes from inside.

"If you please come in, Lord Zhuangyuan, I will leave first." The man leading the way said and left.

Qiu Yan stood on the spot and looked at the environment. When he saw the reflection in the pool, he felt enlightened and said, "This layout is truly unique."

"Jiuyun Study House is wealthy and has many children of princes and nobles studying here. How can the environment be bad?" Chen Jing explained from the side.

At this moment, a man walked out of the small study, wearing dark clothes. When he saw Qiu Yan, he walked over quickly and said, "I just sent an invitation to Brother Qiu. We met again so soon. He came to see me." Right? You and I are peers. Even if we have different levels of knowledge, we should learn from each other. Come, come, I will introduce you to a few friends, who are all the same people as you. If you have any questions, go back. Ask the teacher for help, so that you can get the teacher’s teachings.”

This person was clearly Lin Jianzhang. Compared with during the day, he seemed much more comfortable, and his words were even less respectful. Both inside and outside his words, he hinted that Qiu Yan was only worthy of interacting with people like him.

A gleam flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes, not because he felt offended, but because he felt the sudden change.

Beside him, Chen Jing smiled and said, "Brother Lin, long time no see."

"Brother Chen, are you back?" Lin Jianzhang discovered Chen Jing then.

Chen Jing responded with a smile: "I came to Xingjing with my classmates, and it happened that my uncle was hosting a banquet for Mr. Qiu. The uncle knew that I had asked Mr. Chen for advice and asked me to come and accompany him. To put it bluntly, I am just an errand boy."

"A banquet at Chen's house? Your uncle, doesn't that mean..." When Lin Jianzhang heard these words, his heart thumped, and he had a bad feeling about the teacher's arrangement.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, another voice came from the study——

"Brother Lin, haven't you invited the Number One Scholar here yet? We're all waiting." As he spoke, two young men came out.

These two people, one handsome and the other strong, were all dressed in silk and satin. This kind of clothing was not something ordinary people could afford. After they came out, they met Qiu Yan and the others, but they did not show due respect and smiled. Standing on the ground, condescending.

Qiu Yan looked at the expressions of the two people, savored their tone, and remembered what the ancestor of the Chen family had said. He knew that the two of them had their own intentions when they behaved like this, and he immediately understood.

"The status of number one scholar, accompanied by visions, can make some scholars and Confucian scholars understand the reality clearly and not take chances. But it cannot make everyone shrink back. These two people are probably one of them. Xu is an outstanding son of a powerful family. , It’s just that I didn’t come here to quarrel with the juniors.”

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan shook his head. He could see that both Lin Jianzhang, who acted calmly, and the two men who came forward later, had traces of deliberate actions in their expressions and movements.

Chen Jing also saw some clues and deliberately promoted Qiu Yan in his words, just to give Qiu Yan a boost. Regardless of the relationship between the two, he, Chen Jing, had indeed benefited from Qiu Yan, and he did not want to see him suppressed.

"Are you Qiu Yan?" The two people, who were condescending, pretended to be aloof and glanced at Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan didn't look at it, but asked Lin Jianzhang: "Where is the master of Jiuyun Zhai? Qiu came here to visit him."

As soon as these words came out. Lin Jianzhang and the two men in brocade robes all had expressions on their faces, sensing the disdain hidden in their words.

The strong man suddenly raised his voice: "Qiu Yan! It's true that you are the number one scholar, but you should also know the etiquette. The master of the house is a first-class figure in Ma Yang and Ma Xiangguo. He is studying quietly. In terms of qualifications and seniority, how can he be a junior like you? Just say you can see me?"

The man was tall. He has thick shoulders and looks tall and majestic. He is angry and reprimanding, and suddenly bursts out with a surge of pressure that makes people's hearts tremble.

"I haven't asked for advice yet." Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the person.

"My name is Gao Huandun. You may have heard of my name. But in the study, there is no young prince, only Mr.'s disciples. You and I..."

His words surged like a river. He said it in one breath, giving people an irresistible feeling, but before he finished, he was interrupted by Qiu Yan: "You talk about etiquette, but why don't you do it? If you don't know etiquette, you can't stand up. I'm here to visit, but I'm a guest. You are a disciple of the study, and you are half a master. How can you stand on the stage and scold your guests from a high position? How can you stand upright? "

As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding order was shaken, and the aftermath was long-lasting!

The platform was originally made of wood, but it resonated suddenly, shaking suddenly with a "creaking" sound, bumping like the deck of a ship. Due to the sudden incident, Gao Huanhuan and another person were unable to stand, and their bodies swayed and fell down!

Fortunately, the two of them had some strength and maintained their balance the moment they landed. They did not fall to the ground, but they were in a panic!

After standing still for a moment, the two of them took a deep breath. With their faces gloomy as if they could drip water, they both raised their heads and looked at Qiu Yan fiercely.

"What's wrong?"

"Why is the floor shaking?"

Five more people ran out of the study, asking questions.

Qiu Yan recognized two of them as they had come with Lin Jianzhang to deliver invitations, but he had never seen the remaining three. However, the demeanor of these three was different from the others, and there was a sense of grace in their behavior.

After a few people stood still, most of them were confused when they saw the two people landing. One of the men in broad robes frowned, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He then squinted and concentrated, as if he was feeling the changes in the air.

Someone else looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "Are you the number one scholar in the golden field? You want to see Mr., but you don't have the etiquette..." The study is transparent, and words from outside can be transmitted inside.

Seeing that someone was making trouble again, Qiu Yan was impatient. He came here this time to find out the tendency of the master of Jiuyun Zhai. If he was really an enemy, he would determine the cause and effect to save unnecessary guessing. He could also take advantage of the trend to explore human nature and collect information. People's wishes.

After listening to Chen Jing's explanation before and learning about Xi Muyuan, Qiu Yan made a guess and knew that many people would be involved. Instead of waiting passively and letting others control it, it was better to take the initiative to come and grasp the cause and effect of luck.

However, he did not expect that the master of Jiuyun Zhai did not come forward, but instead introduced a group of students to belittle Qiu Yan's character, either openly or covertly.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan already understood what the owner was thinking.

"Forget it, since the master of the restaurant cannot come out and let the students ward off the disaster, then I will discipline him for him!"
