Mu Xu looked at Su Changan and smiled, then turned around and looked inside the lecture hall.
At this moment, not only was the lecture hall already full of people, but there were also many uninvited students from the Imperial College outside the lecture hall.
Mu Xu also made deliberate arrangements for these Tai students. After all, they were people who did not plan to take the imperial examinations this year, so it would be beneficial for them to come here and listen more today.
Mu Xu looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Master Yao said those polite words are okay, but I said they are not okay. Why? Because if I say something wrong, I will definitely be lectured by Master Yao and Mr. Kong. So, I won't say any more flowery words at today's literary gathering. I just want to tell you that today's literary gathering is about making friends through literature. If you start arguing, don't fight. The Imperial College doesn't have much money, especially those flowers. They were all taken from the palace. I can't afford to pay for them if they are damaged."
When everyone heard this, many people laughed.
Mr. Yao and others shook their heads.
However, Mu Xu continued with a smile: "Okay, that's it, everyone can speak freely, or ask for doubts, and everyone here can help you answer them, or you can communicate with others, but only talk about the paper, not other things. If you involve other things, I will kick you out."
When saying this, Mu Xu deliberately glanced at the officials serving in the court.
Among those people were the Empress Dowager’s people and the Grand Tutor’s people. The following sentences were meant specifically for them.
After saying that, Mu Xu ignored all this and walked over to the table next to Xun Kuang and sat down.
Xun Kuang helplessly looked at the teacher who was sitting on the table and ignored all these things. He stood up helplessly, bowed to everyone in the lecture hall and said, "I heard that Mr. He and Mr. Zhou were arguing about 'Why does a gentleman not worry or fear'? How about you two start first?"
As soon as these words came out.
Mr. He Yang, who had come over to pay his respects to Su Changan before, stood up, bowed to Xun Kuang, and then made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Zhou Zhennan who was sitting opposite him.
Su Changan looked at the two of them with interest.
Knowledge comes from discussion.
The final meaning of many words of sages, apart from those clearly expressed by the sages and thus passed down, many of them are interpreted by later generations and the meaning is determined after debate and discussion.
The teachers debated, and the students listened and learned, or put forward their own views and discussed further, so that everyone present could understand the deeper meaning.
The significance of the literary meeting lies in
Su Changan listened to the two of them starting to argue.
Look at Mu Xu, Xun Kuang and others, who were listening and eating fruit.
Thinking I could eat something.
So after taking a bite of the orange, he looked at the small shoulder bag that Maomao had just placed next to him.
Then he looked at the others and hesitated.
But I immediately thought there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Just eat when you are hungry.
Besides, the fruits on the table are for you to eat. It’s no big deal if you eat something else yourself, since you brought them yourself anyway.
The most important thing is, it was prepared by my wife!
He took out the food wrapped in oil paper directly from his bag.
Place them one by one on the table.
Xun Kuang sat next to Su Changan, watching curiously what Su Changan was doing.
Even Mu Xu, Su Zimu, Su Linhan and others all looked curious.
Those who had been paying attention to Su Changan looked at Su Changan even more.
Su Wan'er was different. She was sitting next to Su Changan's desk. She already knew what was being pretended and looked at Su Changan with some surprise.
And everyone's curious eyes
It immediately turned into surprise, astonishment, and helplessness.
because
Su Changan opened an oil-paper package, revealing two large chicken legs inside.
Chapter 131 The Empress and her husband like to do weird things
Then proceed to open the oil paper bag.
Six prawns, four big steamed stuffed buns, seven or eight fried dumplings, split Hubing, six roasted lamb ribs, deep-fried fish, four Huojing persimmons and so on.
Everyone watched Su Changan open the oil paper packages one by one. Soon the entire table was filled with them. Everyone was stunned.
Everyone knows that there is no food and drink above the Wenhui.
Therefore, everyone either ate more when they came, or hid a steamed bun or something in their sleeves. If one was not enough, they would prepare an extra one in the left and right sleeves.
If you are hungry, have a quick bite.
That's all.
After all, today's literary gathering is a big event, and we cannot be careless, let alone lose manners.
But now
Su Changan filled a whole table in one go, and everyone was stunned.
We know that Miss Chang'an loves to eat, and there are many stories that Miss Chang'an created many interesting foods.
But this is not the way to prepare food!
But some people seemed to remember something and immediately whispered to the people around them. At the same time, these people frowned slightly and looked at Su Changan.
In particular, Mr. Zhou and Mr. He, who were originally arguing, stopped at this moment and looked at Su Changan with surprise.
But looking at the table full of food on Su Changan's table.
The two looked at each other and were somewhat surprised.
The two of them had been to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet before, so they had seen Su Changan's handsome appearance while eating with relish.
But
Looking at the food Su Changan had placed, the two people who had just been arguing about a problem suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Both of them admired Su Chang'an very much, especially his virtues and the question and answer between Su Chang'an and Wen Zhegu on "Why study" at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. In every class, these two old gentlemen asked their students to learn from Su Chang'an.
However, old Mr. Zhou Zhennan suddenly remembered something, looked at Su Changan with hesitation, and some worry in his eyes.
Mu Xu was stunned when he saw Su Changan's action, then he immediately laughed. He just thought it was interesting, but when he looked at the lamb ribs on the table, he became greedy!
Xun Kuang was a little speechless and didn't know what to say, but thinking about the behavior of Miss Chang'an in the past, it seemed normal.
However, Xun Kuang smelled the scent, just like his teacher, he was hungry!
Su Zimu shook his head helplessly, but looked at the table, turned his head and whispered something to Su Linhan.
Although Su Linhan was surprised by her elder sister's behavior, after hearing Su Zimu's instructions, she immediately stood up and went to get hot tea.
According to what Su Zimu said, these foods can be eaten even if they are cold, but the wine and drinks are too cold to be eaten with them. Go get a pot of hot tea for your eldest sister.
Master Yao and the others looked at each other, laughing and shaking their heads, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
But I don’t feel anything about it.
After all, there was nothing wrong with Su Changan's current behavior. After all, the literary gathering did not prohibit bringing food, and in fact, Master Yao also brought some with him.
However, Mr. Shuiyun, Mr. Zhou Zhennan, and a small number of other people looked at Su Changan like this with some worry on their faces.
Mu Xu looked at everyone and noticed the frowning people, so he said loudly: "Zhennan, you and He Yang can just continue. Although I won't prepare food for everyone at the literary gathering, I didn't say that you can't prepare your own, so continue, don't keep staring at others, we are all scholars, don't you know what politeness is?"
After hearing Mu Xu's words, everyone was stunned, then they withdrew their gazes and no longer looked at Su Changan.
Only old Mr. Zhou Zhennan asked: "May I ask Ms. Chang'an that she wants to eat so much because she is unwell?"
When Su Changan heard Mr. Zhou Zhennan talking to him, he stood up, but after listening, he was stunned.
Zhou Zhennan frowned and said, "I heard that Miss Chang'an is ill, so she ate a lot. Is she feeling unwell again? If so, it is our Imperial College's fault for not entertaining her well enough."
Su Changan continued to be stunned. What was he saying?
Su Changan was confused.
But when Zhou Zhennan said this, everyone finally remembered.
There has always been a saying that Su Changan eats a lot, that is, Su Changan eats so much because he is sick.
Although some diseases can make people look haggard and weak, some doctors have pointed out that if some patients are overly anxious, they will eat more to feel relieved.
This symptom is more fatal than loss of appetite.
When Zhou Zhennan said this, most people suddenly remembered this matter.
Everyone looked at Su Changan, but forgot that Su Changan was a sick person. When they suddenly realized it, they all showed guilty expressions, thinking that they had just thought that Su Changan was a greedy person.
Old Master Yao felt guilty. He had heard Mr. Shuiyun mention this matter before, and he had also looked up medical knowledge and found that there were some diseases that had this symptom. However, seeing that Su Changan was no different from an ordinary person, he had forgotten about it.
Looking at the food on Su Chang'an's table, thinking of Su Chang'an's appetite, he stood up and asked, "Is this enough? If it's not enough, ask Master Mu to prepare some."
Su Changan blinked.
how to say.
He felt that people's misunderstanding of him was getting deeper and deeper. And it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to explain himself!
From the frail and sickly 'Sister Daiyu' to now 'eating so much is a disease'.
He really didn't know how to explain it.
The main thing is that it cannot be explained!
Mu Xu was very happy, because he knew that Su Changan was not sick at all. He just ate a lot and didn't care about etiquette. He was a straightforward person who ate and drank as he pleased.
But seeing everyone like this now, he can smile in his heart, but he also knows that this matter is difficult to explain. If it is explained, then many things before will be self-defeating, and he can only continue to act.
Looking at Su Changan's expression, Mu Xu stood up and asked Su Changan, "It was my negligence. This matter is Mu Xu's fault."
As he said this, Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan to apologize.
Then he asked, "Do you need anything else? Or some soup or something?"
Su Changan was helpless, but looking at Mu Xu's sincere eyes, and then looking at the concerned eyes of Mr. Yao, Mr. Zhou Zhennan and many others, he could only return the greeting helplessly and said: "Thank you, Master Jijiu, these are enough."
After saying that, he looked at Mr. Zhou Zhennan and Mr. Yao, bowed and said, "Chang'an is fine, he is just hungry. Thank you for your concern."
Zhou Zhennan and Master Yao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
