When Feng Ziying returned to the academy, she was already in a dark state.

But when she saw the classmates surrounding her, Feng Ziying knew that she had only been gone for a day, and there was probably a lot of news happening in the academy.

"Ziying, the mountain chief is back, and I specifically asked you to go to the mountain chief as soon as you come back." Chen Qiyu spoke first before Zheng Chongjian and Xu Qixun.

"Oh, the chief is back?" Feng Ziying nodded and took down the luggage he was carrying. Xu Qixun had already taken it.

"Huchen, there are some bits and pieces from the Dahuguo Temple in your bag. Take them out and let everyone try them. We people in Shuntian Mansion may not be surprised, but for your classmates from the south, if you haven't wandered around the Dahuguo Temple, you may not be surprised.

Have eaten these gadgets.”

Feng Ziying was used to having Xu Qixun feel at ease, and Xu Qixun seemed to be used to this kind of tacit understanding.

The pouch was opened, and a bunch of various snacks were taken out, including pea yellow, moxa, and various pastries and snacks. There were a lot of miscellaneous things, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of students who followed in.

"Oh, Ziying, you are really a rich man..." The person who spoke was Fu Zonglong, and his tone also had an indescribable tone.

"Zhonglun, these snacks are not valuable. You can buy a bunch of this Aiwowo for a few dollars. How much is this pea yellow made of soybean flour worth? You are from the south, so you may not know." Zheng Chongjian

Some of them were not satisfied with what they saw, so they helped to explain.

Chen Qiyu glanced at Zheng Chongjian, who was identifying Feng Ziying, and felt even colder in his heart. He did not expect that Zheng Dazhang, who was from Shanxi like himself, would also start to defend Feng Ziying.

Xu Qixun seemed to have not seen this scene. He smiled and distributed these pastries: "Come on, Yi Zhong, Uncle Fang, Fei Xiong, Dao Ying, Boya, everyone come and have a taste. Ziying, are you going to the university today?"

Huguo Temple? I’ve heard for a long time that the vineyards there are very beautiful. We should go and have a look at some time.”

"You can go during the spring break. Then I invite everyone to try the freshly prepared food in the temple. That's called a delicacy." Feng Ziying seemed to not feel anything, greeting everyone and turning her head.

, "Brother Yuxuan, give it a try too. You guys, Baode, definitely don't have this taste. Come on, let's talk inside."

As Feng Ziying spoke, she also smiled and motioned for Chen Qiyu to come in to talk, but left Fu Zonglong aside.

Chen Qiyu's face suddenly looked much better. He greeted him proactively, joked a bit, and then gestured to go inside to talk, which made him feel very comfortable. At least he was respected by this group of people.

"That's not necessarily the case. What we have in Baode may not be available in Shuntian Mansion." Chen Qiyu nodded slightly, glanced at Fu Zonglong, who looked a little ugly, and then said: "Zhonglun, you should try it, you Yunnan don't have this.

This stuff smells good."

Wang Yingxiong carelessly picked up a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with a smile on his face: "Ziying, it's a deal, we have to follow you during the spring break. We won't come back until we eat all over the capital city."

"Oh, Fei Xiong, I can't stand your appetite. Can you imitate other people's tiger ministers and be more polite? We are all students of Qingtan Academy. With your attitude, people will think you are in prison.

It was just released."

Wang Yingxiong made a joke, and Feng Ziying also made a joke.

"Today I met Brother Wen Ruo at Dahuguo Temple. He recommended that you try these. I thought that many of the brothers in the academy had just come to study not long ago. The rules in the academy are very strict. I am afraid that not many people have tried them.

Even those of us from Shuntian Mansion may not have tasted the specialties of Dahuguo Temple, so I bought some to try, and it cost me more than three hundred..."

"More than three hundred taels of silver?" The people around were shocked.

"With more than three hundred taels of silver, I can buy the stall and all the people there." Feng Ziying teased everyone, "It's more than three hundred taels of silver!"

Everyone burst out laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although most of us come from poor backgrounds, there are not many people who can travel thousands of miles to study at Qingtan Academy, and there are not many whose families are penniless and don’t have half a dollar in their pockets. Most of them belong to ordinary ordinary families with small families.

But to be honest, more than three hundred dollars is nothing.

These things are really too expensive, and people may not say anything, but they won't be so liberal. But if it only costs a few hundred dollars, it really doesn't matter.

Only Zheng Chongjian knows that although the snacks in the Great Huguo Temple are not expensive, they are not simple either. Such a large amount costs at least one or two taels of silver, which is definitely not something that can be bought with three hundred coins.

, he admired Feng Ziying a little more in his heart.

Looking at Chen Qiyu next to him who was still laughing in agreement without realizing it, Zheng Chongjian also shook his head secretly. If he really wanted to compete with this little guy in this Yishe, he would probably be left hundreds of steps behind, including himself.

.

But immediately someone heard another word, and Chen Qiyu suddenly reacted: "Ziying, what did you say, Brother Wenruo? Yang Wenruo? Yang Wenruo from Chongzheng Academy?"

"Well, it's Yang Wenruo." Feng Ziying said indifferently, "I met Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers by chance, and we had a good talk under the trellis of the vineyard in Dahuguo Temple."

When Chen Qiyu told Yang Wenruo of Chongzheng Academy, everyone present reacted and were shocked.

There are different opinions on the three great talents in the capital. Some say they are Han Jing, Lian Guoshi or Xu Xie. Some say they are Ai Nanying and Qian Qianyi from Tonghui Academy. However, no one doubts Yang Sichang.

It is true to say that among the three great talents in the capital, except for one who is considered a northerner for practicing state affairs, the others are all out-and-out southerners. However, people like Yang Sichang and Ai Nanying are all registered in the capital, and

The others are just studying in academies in the capital, but they are also called talented scholars in the capital.

"Ziying, what are you arguing with Yang Wenruo and the others?" Not to mention Chen Qiyu and others, even Xu Qixun and Sun Chuanting, who looked like a Buddhist, suddenly became more interested.

This is the shadow of a tree in the name of a person. If it were anyone else, who would be so interested?

Among the three great talents in the capital, he is the one who deserves his reputation. No wonder everyone is interested in him. Fortunately, Yang Wenruo has already been married, or he really wants to seduce the ladies of the officials and gentry in the capital.

.

"There was a lot of talk, but mainly I talked about the pragmatic and pragmatic culture of our various academies. Well, we are not very satisfied with the culture of those in the south that advocates chatting. Of course, we also talked about some current affairs." Feng Ziying said lightly.

: "They also have some ideas, so when I come back, I am going to report it to the mountain chief and the commander."

Only then did Chen Qiyu realize that the mountain chief had told Feng Ziying to go to him as soon as he came back. Why, as soon as Feng Ziying came back, all the attention and topics followed him, completely forgetting that there was such a thing.

With neither happiness nor anger on his face, Qi Yongtai gently twisted the lid of the tea cup with his fingers, his eyes calm, but in his heart he was thinking about how to beat this guy.

The cold wind outside the window is getting thicker, and snowflakes have begun to fall intermittently.

This guy still came back on foot, which made Qi Yongtai very satisfied.

Given the Feng family's financial status, it was impossible for them not to have a carriage at home. Even if it was not delivered to the entrance of the academy, it would be reasonable to stop a mile or two away and come on foot. But this boy did not, and instead walked all the way from the city to the academy.

Regardless of his thoughts, his behavior is definitely worthy of praise.

Do you talk about traces without regard to the heart, or do you talk about the heart but ignore traces? Qi Yongtai has a headache.

But this guy is too presumptuous sometimes.

Maybe I really indulged him too much? Or is this guy really a restless master?

"Ziying, do you think we were too lenient with you, so much so that you forgot about yourself?" Qi Yongtai pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Brother Wenyu and my brother at that time were specially invited by me and the Guanzhang Academy to give lectures and discuss. Well, it's rare for them to go north. Such an opportunity is also very precious to our academy. Why do you make the decision for us?

What are you going to do to make comments on the forum and comment on current affairs? Do you want to push our Qingtan Academy to the forefront? That's fine, but why do you want to bring Chongzheng Academy into it again?"

Feng Ziying stood in front of the window respectfully, her head half bowed.

The solitary lamp is like a bean, its light flickering.

Qi Yongtai had only been reading and grading papers before and ignored him, so he just stood there calmly, without any embarrassment or arrogance or dissatisfaction.

Just like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, a thirteen-year-old boy actually showed the bearing of a thirty-three-year-old. It was not for nothing that he often gave speeches on stage in his previous life.

As soon as she heard Qi Yongtai's words, Feng Ziying knew that the game was over.

The adventure was successful.

This round does not depend on Guan Yingzhen, but on Qi Yongtai.

Guan Yingzhen has been sparing no effort to expand the academy's reputation and boost its influence, while Qi Yongtai is relatively cautious.

It may have something to do with the fact that Qi Yongtai could not stay in the position of mountain chief for too long, but Feng Ziying always believed that Qi Yongtai should not be the kind of person who is afraid of external pressure, otherwise he would not have resigned twice.

The key lies in how Qi Yongtai views this matter.

If Qi Yongtai only asked why he wanted to make some comments on the forum and comment on current affairs, it would be a bit troublesome. It means that Qi Yongtai does not agree with this approach. But later he asked why he wanted to bring Chongzheng Academy in, which is a bit troublesome.

That makes sense.

Since we want to deny this matter, it doesn't matter whether Chongzheng Academy is involved or not. But since we ask about it, it means that Qi Yongtai has actually accepted the idea of ​​being able to discuss politics in the forum. He just thinks it's okay.

It's not that perfect, or there are still some things worth discussing.

Reading people's minds has always been Feng Ziying's strength.

It is most important to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and consider the pros and cons.

When proposing this idea to Yang Sichang, Feng Ziying had already considered the causes and consequences thoroughly, and even considered how to remedy it if it was rejected.

But no more now.

"Do you realize you are wrong?"

Seeing that Feng Ziying hesitated to speak, but finally lowered his head and remained silent, a smile flashed across the corner of Qi Yongtai's lips, but then disappeared without a trace.

"Disciple knows his mistake." Feng Ziying responded honestly.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yongtai asked.

"My disciple's mistake is that he is too conceited and arrogant. He kills first and then tells the story..." Feng Ziying raised his eyes and looked back calmly. "Are you so sure that I will agree with this?" Qi Yongtai took a deep breath and put down the book in his hand. He wanted to take the test carefully.

Test each other.

"Well, the disciple is crazy and trying to figure out the thoughts of the mountain chief and the master of the academy. Under such circumstances, he can make his own decisions. But the disciple is devoted to the academy, and this can be followed..."

Waving his hand to interrupt the other party, Qi Yongtai said sternly: "Say enough of your reasons. If you can't convince me, you don't have to stay in Qingtan Academy. Don't think that you have such little thoughts.

If you don’t understand, don’t look down on people in the world because of this. Small victory depends on wisdom, big victory depends on virtue. If you blindly speculate on people’s hearts, you will definitely get backlash!”

Qi Yongtai's gentle and gentle eyes fell on Feng Ziying's face. His tone was not serious, but Feng Ziying was horrified and she didn't dare to speak for a while.
