I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 43 "Being a Teacher"

"Passionate love has been empty of hatred since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.

Is it difficult to get rid of the flowers, the poor flying catkins are too floating.

Xiangchao first joined the Mandarin Duck Club, and the new sentence is still written on the jade screen.

Not because of parting, the heart is broken, and the tears are also full of old clothes. "

In Baihua Building, Xu Yang, the biggest winner of this literary competition, had his poems published for the readers present to watch.

"Good poetry, good poetry."

"The poem is indeed good, but how come no one has heard of this Zhou Di?"

"Maybe it's from another county."

······
After reading the poem written by Xu Yang, many scholars thought it was a good poem and had no objection to it winning the first prize. However, they were more curious about the author of the poem.

It's a pity that no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't find out any news about Xu Yang.

But he didn't let them wait any longer. Soon Xu Yang walked up to the stage and introduced himself to everyone present:
"Everyone, Zhou Di is polite here..."

Of course, Xu Yang's self-introduction was all false.

It was the identity information he prepared when he got to Huashan.

To be precise, before he went down the mountain this time, he had prepared more than a dozen pieces of identity information, and they were all verifiable.

Of course, if you really check it on the spot, it will definitely reveal the truth.

"It turns out that he is from Henan, the hinterland of the Central Plains. I have long heard that culture and education are prosperous there. No wonder, no wonder."

"Yes, I heard that culture and education there are prosperous and there are many academies. No wonder Brother Zhou is so talented."

·······
After listening to Xu Yang's made-up self-introduction, the scholars present were filled with emotion.

He also found a reasonable excuse for why so many people on his side were defeated by a foreign scholar.

If the local folks ask, I will have something to say.

Xu Yang, who was on the stage, saw that the scholars in the audience no longer struggled with their origins, and then he clasped his fists again and bowed to the many sitting scholars, which made these people suddenly confused. Why are we worshiping us when we have nothing to do?
After Xu Yang straightened up, he solemnly extended an invitation to the scholars present.

This invitation was nothing else. He was planning to travel to Fucheng in three days and seek advice from the academy in Fucheng. He once again specially invited scholars from this county to go with him.

The scholars present were not fools. After Xu Yang's words went through their minds for a few times, they understood that Xu Yang was not asking for advice. He was clearly going to challenge Fucheng Academy.

This is to do something!
But after hearing this, these scholars became even more excited.

This is a good thing.

Some of them are also studying at Fucheng Academy, but their situation there cannot be said to be good.

Especially in the academies of Fucheng, there are always some guys who live in Fucheng. When they treat people from the county, they always have a condescending attitude, which makes people very unhappy.

Now that someone is challenging the academy, of course they support it.

Moreover, the greater Xu Yang's reputation, the less shameful he would be if he lost to him. Maybe in the future, this would still be an honor.

So this must be supported.

But before they could sign up, Xu Yang spoke again:

"I hope that those who travel with me are good at a certain aspect. For example, Zhou is good at poetry, so for chess, someone needs to accompany him."

After everyone listened, they called out to him, "Good guy, Mr. Zhou on the stage is planning to take advantage of everyone in the county and attack the shortcomings of Fucheng Academy."

Doing this will greatly increase your chances of winning this trip.Scholars who are able to enter Baihua Tower are not the kind of people who have no desires and desires. How can they not yearn for the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, especially since it is an opportunity to become famous throughout the city.

"Everyone, we will meet again in five days."

While everyone was still thinking, Xu Yang on the stage bowed his hands and said goodbye, then followed the madam towards the second floor.

In five days, instead of returning to calm, the entire county became even more noisy.

In the streets and alleys, people were all talking about the Baihualou literary party that night, or about the local scholars' upcoming study tour to Fucheng Academy.

The latter, in particular, is the most talked about in people’s mouths.

The county magistrate did not stop this, but rather fueled the situation.

After all, culture and education are also very important during the official assessment, and such a grand event is a big plus for culture and education.

In addition to those discussed by ordinary people, the busiest people during these five days were the scholars in this county and several neighboring counties.

Yes, the scholars from Linxian County who participated in the Baihualou Literary Society told Xu Yang’s invitation after they returned home. Scholars from these counties also became interested and started working under the organization of several scholars who were not short of money. Get ready.

Of course, such a big movement cannot be concealed. Someone at the academy in Fucheng has already tipped off the news.

There are a total of four academies in Fucheng, among which the official academy has been abandoned for a long time, and there are few scholars in them.

The really powerful ones are the three private academies, but these three private academies are also having a bit of a headache at this time.

This time, the academy challenge organized by Xu Yang in the name of study tour put them on the fire. Faced with this conspiracy, they had to accept it even if they didn't accept it.

Although the academy's teaching level is not low and the students it produces are good enough, they still feel unsure when facing several of the top scholars in the county.

Especially Zhou Di, who was number one in the Baihualou Literary Club, had no one to deal with him.

The poem "Flower Moon Traces" is really wonderful. Even the teacher in their academy who is best at poetry is ashamed of it.

Five days later, Xu Yang went to Fucheng with nine scholars who had been selected through fierce competition in the county.

Seven days later, after a day of rest, Xu Yang and the others met with people from Linxian County and sent greetings to the three academies together.

Eight days later, people from the three academies gathered together with Xu Yang and others in a manor provided by a local wealthy businessman, and conducted ten comparisons, including poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In ten competitions, the three academies only won three times, which was a disastrous defeat.

Among them, Xu Yang even made the teachers of the college cry with his song "Being a Teacher", and his reputation spread throughout the city.

"The day is slanting in the mighty sorrow of separation,

Yin whip east point is the end of the world.

Luohong is not a heartless thing,
Turn into spring mud to protect flowers. "

"Okay, okay! This guy has great talent and great sentiment."

In the yamen of Tixuefu, the local Tixue took Xu Yang's poems that he had copied by himself and admired them greatly.

As a local official in charge of culture and education, of course he had known about such a major event happening under his command for a long time, but he did not intervene rashly, but had been paying attention silently.

However, he did not expect that in this northwest region, a place where culture and education were not prosperous, there would be such a good poem published. It really made him want to drink three large bowls of wine immediately.

In particular, this is a rare poem that praises teachers. I think it will be spread all over the world soon.

PS: "Being a Teacher" is a name given by the author himself. Its original name was "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai", written by Gong Zizhen in the Qing Dynasty.
