Three melons and two dates

Xie Huanxiu is very familiar with Jiyuan's handwriting, but it's just the current one, soft and gentle, revealing his own strength of character, like a lotus branch in a pond, which stands upright by itself in the water.

What did Jiyuan's characters look like more than ten years ago?

Xie Huanxiu tried his best to recall his handwriting when he was studying with Ji Yuan just now.But it seems that Ji Yuan's handwriting has nothing in common with this "Qin".

Qin Ta's writing power is weaker than Ji Yuan's, and his handwriting is handsome, but with a sense of triumphant publicity. If it is said to be similar, it is somewhat similar to Xie Huanxiu's handwriting two years ago.

Xie Huanxiu, who didn't grasp any similarities, still believed that "Qin" was Su Qin, and most likely Ji Yuan.

He didn't think about the two of them together before, but now the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious Ji Yuan becomes.

He is well-educated, but he never mentioned whether he has fame or not. If it is said that Ji Yuan only loves reading, he has no ambitions in court.But Xie Huanxiu felt that he was looking forward to his official career and to show off his ambitions.

When he first came to the academy, Xie Huanxiu secretly compared in his heart, thinking that the masters in this academy are not as good as his master Ji.Despite his resistance when he entered school and his admiration for Ji Yuan, he still believed that many masters were far inferior to Ji Yuan in terms of knowledge and views.

Affected by Ji Yuan, Xie Huanxiu often came up with some novel ideas and unique insights, which were not recognized by other people in the academy.The only thing I can say is to Tan Ziqian, even if I disagree, I can argue a few words, instead of negating like others.

In Tan Ziqian's body, Xie Huanxiu found Ji Yuan's shadow, which is why he accepted Tan Ziqian in the first place.

If the "double pride" has a close friendship, it is not surprising that the two think and act in the same way.

Xie Huanxiu put the wrinkled "Shui Jing Zhu" on the bookshelf with slightly trembling hands, closed his eyes, suppressed the vibration in his heart, adjusted his breathing, and slowed down his tone.

"By the way, Master Ji also warned me in the letter to think twice before acting. Now that I'm not a child, I can't always act recklessly. Don't..." Xie Huanxiu turned around, looked at Tan Ziqian, and spit out his last words. The key sentence "Don't resign on impulse like he did back then."

what? !

Tan Ziqian, who casually flipped through the pages of the book and casually listened to Xie Huanxiu's words, froze as if someone had acupuncture points on him, and met Xie Huanxiu's firm and sharp eyes in disbelief.

Tan Ziqian immediately realized that he had been fooled by this brat!

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before, your Master Ji has ever been an official?"

Xie Huanxiu also echoed Ziqian's nonchalant change of subject.

"Yeah, why haven't I heard you mention it before, you are Tan Xian in 'Two Pride', Master."

Tan Ziqian's reaction made Xie Huanxiu more sure that his guess was correct.

"Tan Xian?" Tan Ziqian smiled, "It's been a long time since I've heard of this name. The 'Shuangjiao' was so beautiful back then, it's a pity that it was short-lived."

Tan Ziqian showed emotion on his face and sighed.

"Tan's surname is not common, so it's not surprising that you have such an idea. But I'm not Tan Xian, Tan Ziqian, I'm just a teacher."

He lowered his head slightly and arched his body, looking a little lonely and helpless.It's like being often compared with others, and you can neither refuse nor get rid of it.

Xie Huanxiu was a little uncertain.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong."

Immediately, he denied this idea, and said in a relaxed tone, "Life is alive, and it is inevitable to be compared. Don't you often persuade me to learn from brother Xi Nian? I understand this feeling, but I didn't expect After so many years, you still care about being compared with Mrs. Ji. Rumors say that you have a very close personal relationship, which doesn't seem like it."

"If the rumor is credible, then it's not a rumor." Tan Ziqian glanced at him, said something lightly, and then changed the topic, "Why, do you have complaints against me?"

Xie Huanxiu chuckled, "How is it possible, Master treats me well, I know it in my heart."

He could see that it was almost impossible for Tan Ziqian to admit that he was Tan Xian.He thought about it, changed his angle, and tried to ask.

"Master, do you know why 'Shuangjiao' didn't become an official after high school?"

Tan Ziqian looked at Xie Huanxiu, lost in thought.

Xie Huanxiu suddenly asked today if he was talking about Tan Xian, but Tan Ziqian really didn't expect it.Now he didn't think about it clearly, how did Xie Huanxiu know.

Tan Ziqian didn't believe a single word of the nonsense that Ji Yuan told him!

There are some things that he will never admit no matter what, and so does Ji Yuan.

But... Looking at Xie Huanxiu in front of him, the student who carried Ji Yuan's infinite hopes and sustenance, Tan Ziqian sighed in his heart, and he was going to say some things, it would have been better for him to know these things earlier.

"They all say 'learn literary and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family', but Tan Xian has no interest in being an official, and the exam is only because of his family, so when Su Qin proposed to re-compete, he used it as an excuse and escaped.

And Su Qin...he really wanted to be a good official, but after all, he was young and naive, smart in reading, and knew nothing about the way of officialdom, but after half a year, he was full of bumps, and he wanted to retire.

Talking about "double pride", it's nothing more than two young and energetic teenagers. "

Hearing Tan Ziqian's comments on Shuangjiao, Xie Huanxiu wanted to argue for them.But when he thought that these words were said by Tan Xian, he was discouraged again and remained silent.

"Huanxiu, what are you studying for?"

"One, for the sake of literacy and understanding; two, for the sake of getting fame, being an official, and being a good official."

His tone was sonorous and forceful, without hesitation.

Through Xie Huanxiu in front of him, Tan Ziqian seemed to see Su Qin back then.

"Tan Xian, what are you studying for?"

"For my mother." Tanxian would not tell Su Qin such words, so he said perfunctorily. "Readers play."

Hearing this, Su Qin jumped up angrily, "It's in vain for you and me to call 'Double Pride' together, how can you have no ambition!"

"'Double arrogance'? Don't make a fuss, it's just to fool the children. You and I are better at books, what can we be proud of now, but also double arrogance, hehe——"

Tan Xian just thought it was a funny name, but Ji Yuan took it seriously.

"Now you and I are still young, and we haven't had time to do anything. Naturally, there is nothing worthy of praise. But I, Su Qin, swear here that I will be a good official who will be famous through the ages in the future!"

Good officer, that's easy to say.

Tan Xian was disdainful, but at the same time envied this silly boy who was always full of vigor.

He originally came from Zhongming Dingshi's family, but he is indeed the eldest son of a concubine, and he is better than his younger brother who is a month younger than him in everything.

His father loves his mother very much, but he is absurd, otherwise there would be no trouble with the eldest son, it is unreliable.

The aunt is also sweet-hearted and has a clever mind. On the surface, she takes care of their mother and child a lot, but in private she often makes small moves to set rules for them.

The mother who suffered too much also noticed something, but because of her cowardly nature, she didn't dare to resist at all, and she didn't even dare to blow the pillow wind. Apart from crying secretly, she could only hope that her young son would do something in the future, so that she Straighten your back in the house.

As for the grandfather, as the head of the family, he is the one who respects the most rules. His grandson is mediocre, but his eldest grandson is like him, but he is a concubine, so he likes and hates him.Grandfather turned a blind eye to his harsh words from his aunt and ignored him.

He came to study at Lushan Academy purely to find an excuse for himself to leave home. He was not in front of his aunt, and his mother was under the care of his father. Maybe he could live a better life.

The Su family is also a well-known family in the Great Dynasty, but they have always called themselves "pure and noble", and all members of the clan took the route of imperial examinations and became officials in the court.He also understands Su Qin's desire to gain fame.It's just that he didn't expect that the Su family would produce such a bookworm as Su Qin who didn't listen to anything outside the window.

Facing Xie Huanxiu, who looked very much like Su Qin when he was young, Tan Ziqian calmly asked the sentence that he hadn't asked back then, "What do you think is a good official?"

When Xie Huanxiu heard him ask this question, he was a little hesitant about the answer he had already prepared.

"Students, I think...an official who can plead for the people and cares about his family and country is a good official."

Tan Ziqian nodded and asked again.

"How can I be a good official like you said?"

……

Xie Huanxiu was speechless for a while.

Tan Ziqian continued, "Is Qu Yuan a good official? What about Wu Zixu? What about Fan Li and Zhang Liang?"

Xie Huanxiu is very familiar with these four.Among the first two, one threw himself into the river and the other committed suicide.The last two, after their success, each retired.

But it was a troubled time, and now, let alone a peaceful and prosperous world, it is also a prosperous scene, Xie Huanxiu felt that he would not end up like this.

Tan Ziqian continued, "Back then, Su Qin didn't want to be a good official, but he resigned within half a year. Have you thought about why?"

Seeing that Tan Ziqian had no intention of telling himself, he turned his head and went to tidy up the bookshelves, thinking along the way, this question was asked again.

Why did Su Qin resign?

Xie Huanxiu tidied up the bookshelves, but still couldn't think of a reason.

And Tan Ziqian, who is good at "crossing rivers and tearing down bridges", said before Xie Huanxiu said, "Go back and think about it, I'm going to give a lecture too."

……

Xie Huanxiu swallowed the doubt in his heart, took his leave and left.

But Tan Ziqian, who claimed to be giving a lecture, walked towards the bookshelf.

He was going to find out why Xie Huanxiu suddenly doubted his identity today.He didn't believe that Ji Yuan would tell Xie Huanxiu his identity.
