Twin Brocade

Chapter 876

"Since the mountain chief has invited you, go quickly." Quan Moxian's teacher hurriedly said.

Quan Moxian bowed and said: "Teacher, let's take our leave first. I will definitely come to see you when I have time in the future. Take care."

The two went out, followed the book boy to the back of the academy, and passed through an arched door, which was the house of the Tu family.Located in Beiman Mountain, the Tu family's house is much larger than ordinary houses in Beijing, and the layout is different.

The scenery inside is high and low, following the laws of nature.The house with blue tiles and white walls has a taste of returning to nature.

"Tu Shanchang."

The two entered the door and greeted Mr. Tu Shan in a respectful manner.

Tu Shan has a long frame, tall, gray hair, and a hale and hearty spirit.He was wearing a wide Taoist robe, with a fairy style.

Seeing the two of them, he cheerfully put down the brush in his hand and said, "Come, please sit down." Then he ordered his servants to bring tea for the two of them.

Quan Moxian is both a junior and a student of Songxi Academy, how dare he act presumptuously in front of such a great Confucian.Thank you quickly: "Students come to pay their respects to the head of the mountain, you don't have to work."

Fang Jinshu followed suit.

She is a woman, and it is inconvenient to speak in front of such seniors.

"I asked you to come here, so don't be polite when you come." Tu Shanchang sat the two of them down and said, "You are just newly married, why are you free to come to the academy?"

Quan Moxian replied respectfully: "Students are taking a rest, come to Zhuangzi to have a look, and also come to visit the teacher."

Tu Shanchang nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's rare to not forget the original intention." Quan Moxian is the most proud student of Songxi Academy in recent years. Seeing such an outstanding young man, he is always very relieved.

"This picture is for you." He pointed to the scroll beside him, and the book boy offered the scroll with both hands.

Quan Moxian bowed his thanks and took it with both hands.

Tu Shan is good at painting pines and cypresses.

His paintings are rarely circulated in the market, and are all treasured in the homes of powerful people or in deep houses.Those who get the paintings are as precious as jewels, and no one is willing to give them up.

Also, as he got older in these years, there were fewer paintings.

To get a painting by Tu Shanchang is even more rare than to be rewarded by the emperor.With such a generous gift, Quan Moxian didn't know what to say besides accepting it respectfully and thanking him.

He bowed to the ground to show his gratitude.

Tu Shanchang asked the book boy to help him up, and said with a smile: "I have heard about everything you did. If you can bring justice to the people, you are a good official. You must always remember it."

He lived his whole life, from being a respected Confucian, to offering wine at Guozijian, to being ordered by the late emperor to found an academy.Having experienced ups and downs in this life, he has long since ignored those floating clouds of fame.

What Mr. Tu Shan valued was what this person did.Compared with other people's evaluation, he believed in his own eyes more.

Quan Moxian was extremely moved by his importance.

Although, he doesn't care about those false names.But being recognized by a teacher he respects is a very happy thing.

Quan Moxian cupped his hands, and replied in a deep voice: "President, please rest assured! The students will definitely live up to your kindness."

Tu Shanchang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have no regrets in my life. The only thing I can't let go of is Songxi Academy. In the future, if the academy is in trouble, please give me a helping hand."

What he said had a sense of desolation.

Quan Moxian and Fang Jinshu looked at each other, and they both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.Quan Moxian got up and said respectfully: "Students, remember."

Songxi Academy was founded by Tu Shanchang, who inherited his Confucianism and theory.That's why it became the top academy of the Gaomang Dynasty, and the students flocked to it.

However, his age is there after all.

When one day, when he drives the crane west, where should Songxi Academy go?

People have always been quite taboo about life and death, how many free and easy old men like Tu Shanchang are there?

He is optimistic about Quan Moxian's future, but although Quan Moxian has studied in Songxi Academy, it is not because of the academy that he can achieve today's achievements.

There are so many students in Songxi Academy, who can move forward bravely without fear of wind and frost like him.

Quan Moxian remembers his teacher's kindness, which is his character, but the academy cannot ask him to repay it.That's why Tu Shanchang gave him a painting to add an opportunity to the academy's future.

Fifty knows the destiny, Tu Shan is far more than fifty.

There are not many people with such a long life like him in the whole Luoyang city.Vaguely, he seemed to have a kind of intuition to see through the secrets, knowing his own life and death.

The academy has condensed his hard work, and he has done more than this for the academy's head Tu Shan, and Quan Moxian is just one of them.

Leaving the academy, Quan Moxian held the painting gifted by Master Tu Shan with his own hands, feeling a little heavy.

Fang Jinshu understood his mood and motioned for the people to follow from a distance.She accompanied him, and the two walked slowly down the mountain.The intention of Tu Shanchang to donate the painting is heavy in the hearts of the two of them.

If a person of high integrity and moral integrity like Tu Shanchang really passed away, it would not only be a loss to the Academy, but also a loss to the entire Gaomang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Quan Moxian's mood was inevitably a little gloomy.

When approaching Zhuangzi, Fang Jinshu looked at Quan Moxian and said, "Will you accompany me to the Jingyi Nunnery in the morning?" Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and she couldn't bear to see him so lost.

Jingyi Nunnery is farther than Songxi Academy, but going here is always closer than going from the capital.

"Jingyi nunnery?" This sentence successfully attracted Quan Moxian's attention, and asked: "Without the handbook from the palace, you can't get in, let alone me."

Fang Jinshu smiled and said: "It's a rare visit, I brought some gifts for the teachers and sisters in the nunnery. It doesn't matter if you can't get in, it's always my heart, just leave it with the guards. "

"Winter has just passed, and there is a shortage of things in the nunnery." After living there for a year, Fang Jinshu knew everything about Jingyi Nunnery very well.

If possible, she would like to see Mrs. Jingchen again, burn a stick of incense and chant scriptures in front of the memorial tablet of the heroic empress dowager.

But she didn't force it.

Fang Jinshu had already thought clearly about the affairs of this life.All of this is nothing more than doing the best of human affairs and obeying the destiny, and everything is just resigned.

"Okay." Quan Moxian held her hand and said, "I'll accompany you tomorrow morning and stay here for one more day."

He originally planned to stay in this village for only two days, and then go to the village in the eastern suburbs.Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is really a bit poor, and it is not as good as Dongjiao Zhuangzi. He is reluctant to let her suffer.

Back at Zhuangzi, after lunch break, the two went up the mountain as usual, Fang Jinshu practiced archery.With the memories and experiences of her previous life, she made rapid progress, which surprised Quan Moxian.

"Girl, do you want to learn how to ride a horse?" Quan Moxian asked.

"Of course." Fang Jinshu put down the bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes clear.
