I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Chapter 84 Master Jia's Plan

Therefore, only a few people in the academy knew his true identity. Well, Master Jia was one, and Xie Wanwan probably knew too, and then there were the twin sisters of the Cai family.

"Today we are going to study a poem. I believe many of you have heard of it. It is the most popular poem nowadays, 'Song of Righteousness'!" That day, Master Jia held a scroll in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Teacher, I know that this is the poem written by Gu Zhenguo. Unfortunately, I was not in Jinzhou County at that time and did not witness the grand spectacle of heaven and earth asking their minds. It was a spectacle that appeared again after more than a hundred years!" a student said excitedly.

"I heard that this Gu Zhenguo was young and was framed by his own clansmen and fled all the way from Liuyun Town to our Jinzhou County. However, the Gu family not only did not stop, but instead bribed our previous prefect to put Gu Zhenguo in jail. Gu Zhenguo was filled with grief and indignation, and that's how this song of righteousness was born!" another student added.

"Yes, the most important thing is its special effect. It can expand the Wen Palace. It's simply incredible!" another person exclaimed. "Yes, speaking of which, we should thank the Gu family. If they hadn't been so relentless in their pursuit of Gu Zhenguo, this song of righteousness might not have appeared!" someone else jokingly said.

Master Jia listened to the students' discussion with a smile. After a brief pause, he spoke, "You are correct. Gu Zhenguo did indeed endure many hardships, but it was these difficulties that stirred his inner righteousness and indignation, ultimately inspiring the creation of the "Song of Righteousness." This poem, with its lofty righteousness and profound connotations, has become a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages."

The students chatted excitedly, but Gu Yunzhou, sitting nearby, felt a bit speechless. He didn't know when the people of Jinzhou County had started calling him Gu Zhenguo, and the name spread widely, until everyone knew him as Gu Zhenguo, referring to the young man who had stirred the hearts of heaven and earth. And today, he finally realized that Master Jia had done this on purpose.

As expected, Master Jia immediately began to speak, "Yunzhou, please discuss the meaning of this Song of Righteousness and enlighten everyone. If any student can grasp even a little of it, reaching the level of a glimpse into its essence, then the wonders of the Song of Righteousness will have been fully realized!"

Master Jia gazed at Gu Yunzhou with a beaming smile, as if looking at an inestimably precious treasure. It was just a treasure, wasn't it? What could be more impressive than the original author's live explanation?

When he first learned that this Gu Yunzhou was the Gu Zhenguo who caused a sensation in the city that day, he was so excited that he did not sleep all night. He formulated a plan overnight and was determined to make sure that Gu Zhenguo would not waste his time in the Academy of Literature.

The students in the seats exchanged bewilderment. Even though they'd witnessed Gu Yunzhou's profound knowledge and astonishing cultivation talent, asking a mere student to explain the famous Song of Righteousness to everyone seemed a bit too much. The two Cai sisters, however, exchanged a glance, their backs straightened with excitement, and they listened intently. Cai Miaomiao even took out a pen and paper, ready to take notes as she listened.

"Miaomiao, are you exaggerating so much? Even if Yunzhou is really powerful, there is no need to be so serious. I see that sometimes you are not that serious when Master Jia is teaching!" Xuanyundu, the little fat boy sitting next to the Cai sisters, couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Cai Yanyan rolled her eyes at Xuanyunduo and snorted, "What do you know, Fatty Xu? Listen carefully, there's a surprise!" Compared to Cai Miaomiao, her younger sister, Cai Yanyan, was more lively. Her confidence was such that Xuanyunduo began to feel a bit uneasy. Could it be that Gu Yunzhou was from some prominent family, and that a prominent scholar in the family had analyzed his situation for him beforehand? That must be the case. Thinking of this, Xuanyunduo followed Cai Miaomiao's lead and took out a pen and paper.

"Yanyan is right. In short, it's absolutely right for you to listen carefully!" Cai Miaomiao smiled gently, stopped chatting, and looked at Gu Yunzhou's figure intently.

"Thank you Master Jia for your kindness. Today I will briefly talk to you about this Song of Righteousness!" Gu Yunzhou saw that he really couldn't avoid it. Master Jia was staring at him with a burning gaze. It didn't matter if he talked about it, so he didn't refuse anymore. After a brief recollection, he was ready to start telling the story.

"Hoo... hoo... for a moment, Master Jia, may I sit in for a moment?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and Xie Guanguan was seen running over hurriedly with two people. There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks were slightly red, and her breathing was a little disordered. She was running over in a hurry.

"The one who will be explaining this time is Gu Yunzhou. You have to ask him. As long as Yunzhou agrees, I have no objection!" A gleam of light flashed in Master Jia's eyes. This girl is well-informed and came over as soon as she smelled the scent.

"Junior Brother Gu, please, please, I promise that we will not disturb you and will just listen quietly!" Xie Guanguan blinked her eyes, looking cute and well-behaved, which was completely different from the day when she was eager to watch the show.

"Yes, Junior Gu, we will protect you in the Academy of Literature from now on!"

"Junior brother, let's promise not to disrupt the class order!" The three of them talked one after another, looking at Gu Yunzhou with a flattering look.

Gu Yunzhou always felt that this scene was a bit inexplicably eye-catching. Xie Wanwan was okay. Overall, she was a lovely young lady.

But the other two, why don't you take a look in the mirror? One is a sturdy man, 5 feet 4 inches tall, who has obviously just returned from a mission. His clothes are tattered and his beard is unbearable. But at this moment, he is forcing himself to suppress his fierceness and revealing an innocent smile. The scene is really unbearable to watch. The other one is as thin as a monkey, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, staring at him eagerly.

"Xie, Senior Sister, please come in!" Gu Yunzhou called out quickly. Before he finished speaking, several people happily rushed into the classroom, pulled out a few small stools from the Wen Palace, and discreetly sat at the back, not blocking the way for the other students.

"Ahem, sorry to bother you, would you mind adding one more person?" Gu Yunzhou turned around after hearing the voice and saw a young man in a plain white Confucian robe standing at the door of the school building with an awkward look on his face. The young man had a handsome appearance and an elegant temperament, but his face revealed a hint of embarrassment.

"Damn, Bai family, why are you here? Did you follow us? Damn, your dog nose is so sharp!" The burly man sitting at the back of the building stood up from the small stool with an angry look on his face. He widened his eyes, glared at the young man at the door, and kept muttering.

"Tu Gang, this is not your territory. Junior Brother Gu, I wonder if senior brother could come in and listen. I would be very grateful!" Bai Heng bowed slightly and smiled calmly.
