Chapter 108 Repeat Students

With Qiu Biaotou's carriage, Qin Yao and Liu Ji arrived at the county seat at noon.

The two sides said goodbye at the city gate, but the motorcade did not stop and continued towards its destination.

 Just thinking about the possibility of encountering horse bandits entrenched here along the way, Qiu Biaotou's solemn expression could not be relieved.

He escorted the goods from Qishan Mansion in the west, and had to pass through Zijing Mansion to return to the capital in the east. Only one third of the way, a box of goods was lost due to horse bandits here, and he felt very depressed.

But before leaving, he still smiled and gave Qin Yao a gourd, saying that it contained the seeds of a kind of melon and fruit called Lianggua.

“The nobles in the capital love this thing most in summer. Originally, this kind of seed was taken away by the emperor and the common people were not allowed to grow it, so the price has always been high. Ordinary people want to get one in summer, and they have to prepare ten taels of silver and queue up to get it.”

“The summer is hot, and the eldest princess is considerate of the common people. She specially asks Your Majesty to open the planting room in the imperial village and reward these rare melon and fruit seeds to the common people.”

 Speaking of this, Qiu Biao looked at the east, his solemn expression finally faded a little, "When summer comes next year, ordinary people will be able to eat this cool melon to relieve the heat."

 “The princess is so kind.”

After separating from the caravan, Liu Ji took the gourd of cold melon seeds and expressed his gratitude.

Qin Yao guessed that this cool melon is probably watermelon.

 Watermelon, when was the last time she ate it? It seems that the end of the world has not yet come at that time.

It has been so long that the memory is a little blurry, but Qin Yao is very much looking forward to what kind of fruits the melon seeds will bear after planting them next spring.

The wonton stall at the gate of the city is still there, and business is as good as before. Qin Yao ordered four bowls of wontons, three for her and one for Liu Ji. They filled their stomachs. Seeing that the afternoon academy class time was coming, the two of them bought them. Apprenticeship ceremony and go to the academy.

Qin Yao came here for the first time and was not familiar with it, so she asked Liu Ji to lead the way.

 Liu Jilai acted calmly on the way, but when he got to the academy gate, he felt a little timid.

He looked around, always wanting to see if there was anyone older than him.

As a result, only two families from the city came with their seven or eight-year-old son to become a teacher and go to school.

 This is the only official academy in the entire county. It has reached a certain scale and has a dedicated person in charge of admissions.

Qin Yao and his wife followed the two families with children in front of them and entered the side entrance of the academy to the registration location.

 There is a master here who is responsible for receiving students.

So like in the storybook, a student from a poor family becomes a disciple of a famous teacher and gets the guidance of a famous teacher and goes to high school. It is impossible to exist in reality.

There are only a few teachers in the academy, but there are many students. If there are not particularly outstanding top students, it is impossible to attract the attention of famous teachers.

Moreover, the main focus here is on free-range training, which relies on understanding. The master will bring you in, and the practice depends on the individual.

 Liu Ji said that he was once a student of this academy, and the master in charge of registration stared at him for a long time.

 Shaking my head, I don’t remember, I have no impression.

However, seeing that Liu Ji came to school at his age, I took a second look at him. He has a good appearance, not bad.

The two children next to him looked up at Liu Ji, not knowing what was so funny about him. After looking at him for a while, they lowered their heads and covered their mouths to suppress laughter.

　　It wasn’t until I was given a warning by my parents that I became obedient and didn’t look away.

Academy is not something you can just study for. You have to check all three generations of your ancestors.

These materials must be prepared by the students who enter the school. When Qin Yao came, he asked the village chief to get a certificate and passed the inspection smoothly. The next step is to test the students’ character.

 The Master will ask a few questions to see how the students answer and judge them accordingly.

 Be able to pass the first level, as long as you can answer this level according to the correct reference answers.

This is not the first time Liu Ji has entered the academy. In order to enter the academy, he had to memorize the standard answers. The questions this time were exactly the same as before. He passed without changing a word.

The two little boys must have carried it on their backs, but they were still young and had to carry it on a temporary basis, so they stumbled over it.

 Parents reminded me that they got over it in one piece.

 The two children live in the county town, and they took the enrollment sign and went to another place to report.

 Liu Ji has to live in the academy, so he has to pay an extra fee for accommodation and food.

 The college has a kitchen, and there is a cook in the kitchen who is responsible for the students' two meals a day.

If you want to eat three meals a day, you can only cook a small stove yourself.

 The accommodation fees and canteen food expenses have both increased. Each is fifty cents more than the standard that Qin Yao inquired about before, which is one tael and one penny a year.

Living in Chase Shop, a six people, the room is not spacious, but it is better for lighting. Qin Yao thinks it is okay.

Take the enrollment sign and go to the guard in charge of students' food and housing. The guard assigned Liu Ji a room. The room was not full, and there were only four people including him for the time being.

At the moment, the students were all attending classes in the front courtyard classroom, and there was no one in the dormitory. Liu Ji frowned after taking a look at the hygiene situation.

In the past, he could sleep in a pigsty, but now. It’s all the fault of Qin Yao, a tough woman who is poor and fastidious, that makes him so squeamish now that he can’t even smell the smell of his feet!

Qin Yao was facing away from him, choosing the remaining beds, so she didn't see Liu Ji's angry look, otherwise a beating would be indispensable today.

“Just this, in the corner, be quiet.” Qin Yao said and threw the bedding she brought on the bed at the back.

He also treated Liu Ji as a freshman and taught him: "Aren't there two empty bunks in the middle? If you put the extra stuff here before no one moves in, there will be an independent space."

"It's strange, there isn't even a stove, and the kitchen didn't say anything about providing hot water for you. Don't they even want to wash their hair and take a shower? Forget it, I'll buy you a water-boiling stove later and a basin to boil water for washing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji suddenly remembered his previous life in the academy.

It seems, that is, no one bathes and washes their hair often! Even if the house smells like stinky feet, is it possible that we still need to smell the stinky smell on their bodies?

You are a scholar after all, why are you so careless!

Qin Yao laid the bedding and walked around the small house. There was also a brick house and a kang to sleep on. She was very satisfied that it would not keep her warm in the summer or cold in the winter.

Turning around, he patted Liu Ji on the shoulder, "Cherish this opportunity, study hard, ask questions if you don't understand something in class, and exchange homework with seniors who are better than you after class, and combine it with the important notes in your own books to enhance your understanding."

“By the way, someone wants to borrow a book from you, what should you do?” Qin Yao asked dangerously.

 Liu Ji shook his head like a rattle, "If you don't want to borrow it, you won't even borrow it if you kill me!"

"That's right!" Qin Yao now liked him everywhere, "This is the exclusive tutoring material that we have worked so hard to obtain. There are only a few scholar positions. If you give it to others, it is equivalent to establishing a good reputation for yourself. Opponent, you know?"

 “I understand.” Liu Ji said seriously.

 Because her hand touched his neck at some point and she squeezed it a few times.

Mom, if you want to strangle him, just say so!
