Chapter 391 Bai Xiaochuan
Bai Jin spoke calmly on the stage, while Fu Qingzhou listened in the audience, his brows frowning more and more.
“If my personal talents and learning are buried in a pile of old papers and cannot be used by the court or relied on by the royal family, isn’t it like a bright pearl cast in the dark and losing its brilliance?”
“Just think about it. , without the wisdom of the sages and the knowledge of the talented scholars poured into the court and the royal family, how could our country of Dayan prosper to this day? The court needs our scholars to govern the country with wisdom and stabilize the world; the royal family needs the loyal assistance of our students..."
“There are obviously many talented people in the world, including Huai Jin and Yu, but they wander around the rivers and lakes, following the waves, and do not use what they have learned to assist Dayan and manage the mountains and rivers. Isn’t this a big mistake?”
Bai Jin's voice was still gentle and steady, with a smile on his face, but his point of view was as sharp as a knife.
The views he expressed are actually in line with the values of ancient Confucian scholars.
That is to say, if you learn something, you should serve the imperial court and use it to serve the royal family... As for those people in the world, you have all the skills but do not serve the imperial court, that is just fooling around.
But for Fu Qingzhou, he does not really agree with this point of view.
It is true that learning can, at a large level, govern the country and bring peace to the country, and at a small level, it can cultivate one's moral character.
But...
You can't say that if you don't serve the court after learning something, it means learning it in vain?
According to what you say, those who are educated but fail to pass the imperial examination are all useless?
Of course, in this situation, Fu Qingzhou would not be the first to argue against Bai Jin's point of view. He just shook his head in boredom and turned to leave.
This sounds really boring. Why not go to the pool and look at the scenery? After the official has finished speaking, he can go meet the instructors.
So, he squeezed out of the crowd, walked leisurely to the outside of the pavilion and by the pond, and found a comfortable place to sit.
Blowing in the wind and looking at the white cranes in the pond, well... it feels much more comfortable.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
“This brother.”
Someone called from behind him.
Fu Qingzhou turned around in confusion.
I saw a young man dressed like a student standing not far away with a smile, and bowed his hands to him: "Excuse me."
This young man looked like he was nothing at best. He is twenty years old and quite tall. Although he is dressed as a Confucian scholar, he still has a heroic air in his eyebrows.
Fu Qingzhou was curious: "Are you looking for me?"
"Just asking out of curiosity." The young man smiled and said, "Everyone is listening to Mr. Bai's lectures, but why do you leave?" Come in groups?”
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "It's nothing, I'm a big old man, I can't listen to those things."
"Oh?"
The young man asked again: "But a big old man, and Why are you sitting by the White Crane Pond...watching cranes and admiring the scenery?"
Fu Qingzhou thought this person was weird, so he casually said: "Who is watching cranes? I think these big birds are quite plump. Catch one and roast it, it might be delicious.”
The young man laughed and said, “I have heard of burning harp and boiling cranes, but I have never seen it before, and I never thought that I would encounter it today. One.”
Fu Qingzhou looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Your Excellency has been talking for a long time...why don't you go and listen to Master Bai's lecture?"
"Me."
The young man spread his hands helplessly: " "I've heard too much."
Fu Qingzhou laughed: "So, who are you? A younger brother?"
"Well... let's just say he is a younger brother."
< br>
The young man curled his lips and raised his hands: "My lord, Bai Xiaochuan... You may not think that my surname is Bai, but Brother Bai Jin and I are not a family, we are just fellow villagers."
Fu Qingzhou suddenly said: "I understand. , He comes from a village, right?"
"Exactly." Bai Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "He is a few years older than me. I have been listening to him day and night since I became sensible. It’s annoying to hear family members saying, ‘Bai Jin is very good’ and ‘I want to learn from Bai Jin.’” Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, “It’s inevitable for someone else’s child to look like you are dressed like this, you are from Zhangjian Academy. Student? Then you are pretty good, there are few better than you in the world.”
“Oh, it’s all forced by my family.”
Bai Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly, turned his gaze to Bai Jin who was lecturing on the pavilion in the distance, and then lowered his voice and said: "I see that your brother is also a wonderful person, so I won't hide it from you - in fact, I don't like reading at all. , In contrast, I prefer to fight on horseback."
Fu Qingzhou blinked: "That's good! After you come out of Zhangjian Academy, you can't just be a civil servant. If you don't want to enter Mingjian Pavilion, Can you apply to the emperor to lead troops to fight?"
Bai Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Shuangqiu, this matter is very complicated, you don't understand... By the way, brother, what is your name?"
“I’m Fu Qingzhou.”
Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and cupped his hands.
"Hello, Brother Fu, Brother Fu... eh?"
Bai Xiaochuan was suddenly startled: "Fu Qingzhou? Wait, that Qianlong some time ago, was it you? The one who captured the little prince of Beiyi!"
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I would be so famous in the capital?"
"I'll go, it's really you!"
Bai Xiaochuan was greatly surprised and stretched out his hand He grabbed Fu Qingzhou's hand: "Let's go!"
Fu Qingzhou was stunned. He stood still and refused to move no matter how much Bai Xiaochuan pulled him: "Brother Bai, where are you taking me?"
"Oh, don't you want to eat Bai He? Bai Xiaochuan's eyes lit up: "I'll take you to catch one to eat!"
Fu Qingzhou: "?"
"I admire you very much"
< br>Bai Xiaochuan said excitedly: "Look, you are about the same age as me, but you have much more experience than me! I heard that you are also the disciple of Long Dabei? Do you know where his treasure is? When will we set out to find it? ? Do you need a companion on the road? ”
Fu Qingzhou fainted, this is a middle school boy...
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, stop..."
He quickly interrupted Bai Xiaochuan and said with a bitter smile: " I came back to Zhangjian Academy just to visit Dean Dong... But I couldn't find Dean Dong. I heard someone was giving lectures here, so I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could see her. "< br>
"Oh, you are here to find...the dean." Bai Xiaochuan suddenly realized, and then curled his lips: "Then you can't find her, she's not here."
"Not here either? ”
Fu Qingzhou scratched his head: "What's going on? Ning Baimei is not here, Ning Wushu is not here, and now even Dean Dong is not here..."
This is a bit troublesome.
Dong Qianran is not here. Although he can find out Lan Shaozhong, it will be difficult to say hello in advance. It seems that he has to find another way.
"Do you still know Mr. Ning Baimei?" Bai Xiaochuan blinked again.
“Oh, it’s not important, it’s not important.”
Fu Qingzhou waved his hand helplessly: "Since Dean Dong is not here, I will take my leave first and come back to talk to Brother Bai when I have time..."
"No!" Bai Xiaochuan did not let go of his arm. His hand: "You're here, how about I treat you to a meal? The canteen of our Palm Sword Academy is quite nice, how about a meal?"
Fu Qingzhou was in a dilemma.
When it comes to fans, it’s not good to reject others forcefully, but why not go to dinner with them? What a delay...
At this moment, he suddenly heard Bai Xiaochuan say: "If you come to see Dean Dong for anything, you can ask me! I have been studying here for two years. I know the academy very well. If you want to find someone or do something, I can help you find out first.”
Fu Qingzhou blinked.
That’s not impossible, right?
Inquire first?
"Okay, since Brother Bai invites you so kindly..." He smiled and said: "Then let's have a meal."
