The venue of the fun fair is located in an open area in the outskirts. The terrain is flat and the view is wide. There is a large piece of grass that has been leveled beforehand. As the main venue of the fun fair, it can be used for Cuju competitions or polo.

There is also a shallow river next to it, the river is crystal clear, and it is completely enough for daily water for cooking and cooking.Not far from the river, there are neat rows of tents for people to rest and sleep. At this moment, many people are coming in and out to put their luggage.

"Uh-wow, the view here is really nice."

As soon as the carriage stopped, Su Qi couldn't wait to jump down, took a deep breath of the fresh air here, and sighed intoxicated.

Gu Yunji took a look around, and found that it was a place with beautiful mountains, clear waters and quiet surroundings, and it was indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery.He looked up and saw that the main arena not far away was surrounded by low partitions, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. He could only see a lot of people faintly swaying under the temporary pergola next to it, which seemed to be very lively.

A receptionist came over and said to Xu Chengyu: "But Xu Shanzhang of Luxi Academy? The entertainment has not officially started yet, you can settle your luggage first and take a rest. The tent of your academy is here, please follow me Come."

Xu Chengyu responded, and led everyone from Luxi Academy to follow.

Everyone's tents are assigned in advance. The row with the best view in front is the officials of the Hangzhou government and the heads of the two schools, followed by the local dignitaries and gentry, and the female relatives of each family, and behind them are Gu Yunji and others. Tents where ordinary students live.

The tents of the female relatives are surrounded in the middle, which is a part of the area deliberately separated. There are big arms and round waists on all sides. The middle-aged servants who seem to be quite strong are guarding them. Men can't easily go in. It is relatively hidden, so that they will not be casually seen by outsiders. The man collided.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji calmed down a little. It seems that Xu Shuhua is safe even without his father's company, and there should be no problem.

In fact, even Gu Yunji himself didn't realize it. He didn't know when it became his subconscious behavior to always be concerned about Xu Shuhua's safety.

Seeing that Gu Yunji had been looking at the surrounding layout, as if he was looking for something, Su Qi suppressed a smile, walked over and teased, "What are you looking for, Yunji? Miss Xu's tent is at the innermost, so you can't see it here."

Gu Yunji was slightly embarrassed, and wanted to cover it up: "Say, what are you talking about? I just look at the wilderness in this wilderness, and there are no people living there. I am worried that there will be wild animals in the woods. If they come out anytime and hurt people, I will kill you." Oh no."

Su Qi glanced at the woods on the side, and said: "This forest has been cleaned up by the officers and soldiers long ago. There are not even many bushes. How can there be any wild animals? If you find a nest of rabbits, you are lucky. I will I don't know whether to say that you are worrying unnecessarily, or——concern causes chaos?"

Saying that, Su Qi raised his eyebrows at him with a meaningful expression on his face.

Gu Yunji pretended not to hear, and changed the subject calmly: "Since the luggage has been packed, I will go to the teacher first."

After speaking, regardless of how Su Qi reacted, he walked forward on his own.Seeing this, Su Qi shook his head and laughed, and continued to pack his things.

In the pergola next to the main arena, Lu Xianzhi, the magistrate of Hangzhou, who was dressed in a scarlet official robe and was sitting very dignifiedly, got up when he saw Xu Chengyu and the others approaching, and greeted him with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Xu! I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how you are. The students have been busy with mundane affairs since they took office, and there is no chance to visit Luxi Academy. I hope you don't mind."

Xu Chengyu said: "Your Excellency, you are being polite. Since you are the magistrate of Hangzhou, you should naturally focus on official business. Besides, I am far away from the temple and in the countryside, and no longer participate in government affairs. It is hard for you to still miss me as an old man."

Lu Xianzhi let out a disapproving "Hey" and said, "Sir, how can you say that? You are my teacher, respecting the teacher is a matter of course, and I should care about you. Besides, Mr. Taoli is everywhere, and there are countless disciples and old officials. , that is to say, you don’t like false fame, otherwise all the people who come to visit will be queued from Hangzhou Mansion to Songjiang Mansion!”

Xu Chengyu returned to his hometown as an official, and he had no official position. It stands to reason that local officials don't have to be so humble towards him.But Xu Chengyu was Lu Xianzhi and the chief examiner of the first imperial examination. The two were teachers and students. Whenever Lu Xianzhi had to call him Mr.

What's more, Xu Chengyu is still teaching and educating people. I don't know how many imperial examination talents have been sent to the imperial court. They were all smiling and treated Xu Chengyu very politely.

Seeing several people exchanging warm greetings and compliments very enthusiastically, Gu Yunji was filled with emotion.

No wonder there was fierce party struggle in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in the previous life. Although the method of selecting officials such as the imperial examination was relatively fair and restrained the power of powerful families, it still couldn't prevent officials from looking for big trees and colluding with each other.

Who is from the same town as who, who is the same year as who, two people who seem to have nothing to do with each other, they can always be related and have some stories.For the sake of a smooth official career and their own interests, it became natural for relatives and friends to unite with each other, and political enemies to attack each other.

For example, Gu Yunji himself, his background determines that when he enters the officialdom in the future, he will represent the interests of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will be particularly close to the Gu family and the Xu family.He doesn't need to stand in line, because his position was decided early on.

Of course, partisan rivalry is not necessarily a bad thing, and it can also maintain the balance of the court and prevent a certain family from overshadowing the sky.It's a pity that when the forces of all parties ebb and flow, some people will inevitably become victims and be eliminated in the party struggle.

Walking in the officialdom requires not only the ability to do practical things, but also the vision to recognize the current situation.Handling interpersonal relationships, trying to figure out the attitude of the emperor, and doing a good job in the job are all equally important things.

Hai Rui is a strong and upright person, and his name will be passed down forever, and the common people call him Hai Qingtian.But when he was an official, he was squeezed out by the court, he was not liked by the upper officials, and he was not reused many times.If he hadn't stood upright enough and demanded himself so harshly that it almost violated human nature, so that no one else could catch his faults, he would have died several times already.

So sometimes, it is a good choice to know how to be flexible and protect yourself wisely.

When Gu Yunji was in a trance, the few people had finished exchanging pleasantries, and all their eyes fell on the juniors behind them.Lu Xianzhi sized Gu Yunji up and down, and said, "This one should be the closed disciple Mr. Xu accepted this year, right?"

Upon hearing the words, Gu Yunji stepped forward to salute, bowed and said, "Student Gu Yunji, I have met you adults."

At this time, a young and slightly ostentatious voice came from my ear: "Gu Yunji? It turns out that your name is Gu Yunji, what a coincidence."

Gu Yunji followed the prestige, and happened to see a familiar person.
