Lock and secure

The next day was the time for the calligraphy and painting meeting, which in a sense was held for him.

The invitation was sent to the Yong'an Palace, and Luo Yao received the invitation from Li Qingyun. Chen Yu attached a very detailed process arrangement to him, which greatly alleviated Luo Yao's fear.

On that day, in order to avoid too many people, only a small number of people were selected to come.

He only needs to paint and explain the painting techniques on the spot, and all those who come to learn painting can only observe from the audience. The rest of the time is for the students who come to observe to practice and discuss on the spot on their own.

Someone will collect the confusions they cannot solve, write down the problems they encounter on notes, and then give them to Luo Yao to reply and answer them one by one.

Luo Yao didn’t know who arranged this, he could only say that it was a very good arrangement!

The poetry and painting meeting was held at Heyuan Academy.

Early in the morning, Bei Zhenting was already in Heyuan Academy, with Chen Yu and the dean of the academy following him.

Chen Yu didn't want to pay any attention to the bastard who bullied Yao Di, but due to his status, he had no choice but to follow him.

I don’t know what this bastard Bei Zhenting was thinking. He suddenly sent someone to keep an eye on the calligraphy and painting club.

He just keeps finding faults! He says this isn't right, that isn't right! Everyone was already prepared, but Bei Zhenting sent someone over to take a look and immediately gave them a major overhaul. This change was a real relief, as Chen Yu and the others in the academy were completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"Does Your Majesty think there are any other problems?"

Dean Ma of the academy asked cautiously.

Bei Zhenting looked at the transparent ribbons of curtains fluttering in front of the stands and felt that something was missing, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment, so he could only nod reluctantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they were finally able to send the giant Buddha away.

Bei Zhenting sat in the carriage on his way back home, frowning. What was missing?

Unable to remember for a moment, Bei Zhenting was a little annoyed. He pulled open the curtain and a wisp of white gauze flashed before his eyes. "Stop the car!"

The carriage stopped and Bei Zhenting jumped off. An old man was carrying a wooden stick with branches and two hats hanging on it. It was the white hat that Bei Zhenting had just seen.

One black and one white, Bei Zhenting fell in love with the white hat at first sight.

Seeing the old man walking away, Bei Zhenting hurriedly followed him.

"Old man, wait!"

The old man acted as if he didn't hear anything, so Bei Zhenting had to fly forward to block the man's way.

After stopping the old man, I found out that he was not an old man at all, but a handsome young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with some dirt on his face, and wearing the old man's clothes.

Bei Zhenting had a hunch that this person was no ordinary person. "Who are you? Why are you dressed as an old man?"

"Who's dressed as an old man? He has to wear clothes!" The young man glanced at Bei Zhenting impatiently, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Bei Zhenting felt that there was something strange and out of place about the young man, but the young man was indeed just wearing a set of tattered old man's clothes, and there was no disguise on his face.

Bei Zhenting changed the subject, "Are you selling this hat?"

The young man looked Bei Zhenting up and down with disgust on his face, "I'll sell it, but not you!"

"Ten taels of silver."

The young man remained calm and continued on his way.

"Two hundred taels."

The boy showed no intention of stopping.

"Five hundred taels!"

Five hundred taels is enough to buy a small shop!

The young man suddenly turned around, with a sly grin on his face, "One hat for 5 taels, two for taels, deal!"

"I want the white one!"

"No, it's up to you whether you want to buy it or not!" said the boy and continued walking forward.

All right! Bei Zhenting finally took out a thousand taels of silver and received two hats, one black and one white.

During the ten years he spent in the Northwest, he experienced what poverty was. He was once so poor that he didn't have a penny on him. The Northwest was dry and the people were poor, so Bei Zhenting always practiced frugality. This was definitely one of the most expensive things he bought.

Resisting the urge to throw the boy into jail, Bei Zhenting returned to the carriage with a gloomy face.

At noon, Luo Yao pulled Luo Xinchen and slowly walked out of the mansion.

The palace carriage was parked at the door.

"Princess, the prince has been waiting for you in the car for a long time, please get in!"

Luo Yao frowned. Is Bei Zhenting going too? Luo Yao pouted, not wanting to ride in the car with him...

Luo Yao reluctantly got on the carriage with his brother. When he opened the curtain, the first thing he saw was the two hats on the table. Bei Zhenting had fallen asleep. Luo Yao went in carefully and pulled his brother to sit next to him, away from Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting just opened his eyes, looked at them, and closed his eyes again.

The carriage drove smoothly and soon arrived at the academy. The carriage stopped and several people got off.

You can enter the calligraphy and painting meeting at noon. It was already past noon now, and everyone at the door had already entered the courtyard, so there weren't many people.

Luo Yao was the first to jump off the carriage, his jaw dropping at the sight. He had originally assumed the academy would be like any other institution, with a courtyard for students to play in, followed by a classroom where students would listen to lectures. However, the reality was completely different. The carriage didn't stop at the entrance, but instead drove straight into the academy. Once inside, they discovered it was a vast manor. From the entrance to the actual academy buildings, there was a long walk, and a large area was designated for carriage parking.

This is too tycoon!

Luo Yao was shocked by the scene. Just as he was stunned by how rich Heyuan Academy was, a hat was suddenly put on his head.

Luo Yao touched the hat on his head and subconsciously looked back, wondering who put the hat on him. He turned around and saw Bei Zhenting. Bei Zhenting didn't look at him and was walking past him. A chubby boy was holding Luo Xinchen and followed Bei Zhenting.

Why didn’t Bei Zhenting bring Li Qingyun with him?

Luo Yao was puzzled.

A group of scholars came over, saw the royal carriage, recognized Luo Yao's identity, and looked at him. Luo Yao quickly put on his hat.

Follow Bei Zhenting.

It’s so big here, people go up the mountain in groups, just like a tour group.

Both sides of the road are hung with famous calligraphy and painting works, including poems and paintings, with translucent fluttering in between, just like a fairyland.

Luo Yao appreciated these poems and paintings in a rare calm mood.

The sound of cicadas chirping can be heard from distant trees, and the croaking of frogs makes a noise in the pond, describing the summer.

The aroma of wine spreads throughout the world, and the poetic atmosphere reaches the sky... The heroic spirit soars to the sky, and the aspirations are unshakable... It can be seen at first glance that this was written by a scholar who wanted to pass the imperial examination. This is quite an ambition.

We are lucky to be brothers in this life, and we will be brothers in the next life. Seeing this sentence, Luo Yao thought, there won’t be any military generals here who are both civil and martial!

Not bad……

Bei Zhenting walked a long way and saw that Luo Yao was still behind, so he had to wait there.
