"Wow, it's so big here—" Xiaoli shouted excitedly. Ji Yan and a few people came to his mansion, and an old eunuch in the palace personally handed over the golden ticket to Ji Yan, in addition, he also brought four guards, more than a dozen maids and maids to take care of it, and at this moment a few of them were wandering, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Ji Yan is okay, he has seen the gardens of those emperors and clansmen on TV more than once before, and it is quite calm at this time, as for the other three people, they have been living in the middle zone, where can they see such a scene.

The mansion is much bigger than Ji Yan imagined, the emperor is generous, Ji Yan has been going deep along the main entrance, wandering around, the center is a big hall, Ji Yan doesn't know what it is doing, on both sides are some relatively small palaces, and there are some side rooms and the like, and on the outside it is similar to the nursery of the nursery, where he feels a strong aura, as for other places he has not looked closely.

"Boss, this butler's position is none other than you. Ji Yan said: "It's not early, you go and arrange the staffing, and I'll invite everyone to have a barbecue in the evening." ”

The proprietress sent someone to buy meat and other foods according to Ji Yan's list, and made bamboo skewers according to his words, and finally, when night was about to fall, Ji Yan made the most critical thing, the oven.

It's said to be an oven, but it's just a simple stand, a strange long iron box is installed, and then covered with a layer of barbed wire, and the bottom is still burned with charcoal.

You can't have meat without wine, Ji Yan deliberately asked people to pick out the kind of wine that is not so strong, no way, there is no such thing as beer here, and Ji Yan, who has a lot of alcohol, can only mix the wine he bought with water to drink, which is really a bit of a waste.

On the roof in the distance, two men in black watched the scene in front of them with interest. "Mouse, I said this kid is too lazy, he doesn't meditate all day long to stabilize his injury, he thinks about how to eat, but his practice is quite unusual, and I am hungry when I see it. ”

The man called the mouse had a thin face, his eyes narrowed as if he were really like a mouse, and his hand seemed to be recording something, and the darkness didn't seem to affect his vision at all. At this time, when he heard the complaint of his companion, he did not stop the movement of his hand, and while writing and drawing, he replied: "Don't care so much, we are only responsible for recording, and finally report the situation, and the rest has nothing to do with us." ”

Looking at this companion, who was known for his wisdom, he also put away his cynical expression and asked, "Do you see something?"

"Monkey, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you run into him in the future, you'd better be polite. The mouse replied without raising his head.

The man known as the monkey fell into deep thought, the mouse had proven his ability in countless previous collaborations, and it could be said that he was not missing, and now he actually emphasized himself so much, it must be worthy of his own attention.

The two are the people who were almost discovered some time ago, and these days, they have been following Ji Yan, except for a few special days, they can be said to be inseparable.

Ji Yan's side, he was eating well, a few small servants made up for his place after his short professorship, he didn't have any shelves, let a few maids on the side taste together, at the beginning they were still trembling, and then gradually let go, but they didn't come forward, just ate in small bites on the periphery.

"I'm going to the academy tomorrow, and I'll have to take care of my family. Ji Yan continued: "I will give you a sum of money for the daily expenses of the house, but we always have to have some of our own business, otherwise no matter how much money we have, we will have to spend it all." ”

The proprietress thought for a while and said, "In addition to taking care of my little belongings, where can I have such a great ability to support such a big family as you." ”

"I'll find a way to do this, not to mention that I don't need to worry about money in the short term, but I still have to look farther. ”

"You, the first-class prince of the emperor's title, will be regarded as a person with some status in Kyoto City in the future, how much do you want to give some face to those who are officials, and you still have to worry about having no money to spend?"

"As a disciple of the academy and a first-class duke, naturally I can't act without scruples like those juniors, wouldn't that ruin my reputation, it's better to do some legitimate business. Ji Yan said.

"You are the uncle, of course you have the final say. The proprietress also drank some wine, her face was flushed, and she was a little unscrupulous in her speech.

"Ahem. "Xiaoli is young, he is not allowed to drink, he can only stare dryly, just now he took a sip while everyone was not paying attention, but I don't know if he was spicy or choked and coughed.

"It's unpleasant. She muttered as she finally stopped coughing.

The morning sun shone on the eaves of the main hall, and the eaves on the roof and wing horns were more vivid, as if they could swallow the mist above.

There were a lot of people standing in the wide square of the main hall at this time, but if you look closely, you can find that the crowd is roughly divided into six parts, and the six old men are standing in front of each part of the people, and it is the six hall masters.

Several old men first told some of the rules of the courtyard, and then ordered the courtyard attendants to take them down, Ji Yan was about to follow, but was named by the master of the sword hall to stay, so he could only kill and stand there under the attention of everyone, at this moment, the rest of the hall masters also slowly walked towards him.

"Hmph, I know you're not convinced. Pang Qingyun, the master of the Sword Palace, snorted. "No, the two of us are not convinced, but since this time, our two halls are equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader. Yu Jinghua, the lord of the music hall, said with a smile, as for the other of the two people he said, he is naturally the master of the book hall, but the book hall is weak, so there have been few geniuses over the years, for some reason, most of the people who go there are weak scholars, so in many cases, the master of the book hall has never fought for anything, at this moment, he is still standing silently aside, smiling, indicating that he has no opinion.

On the side, Yu Jinghua saw the expression of this old friend and knew that his abacus was wrong again, and said immediately: "I said Anzhi, the book hall finally produced a seedling, so you let it out?"

Wang Anzhi, the lord of the book hall, is not good at fame and fortune, and is not good at arguing with others, as quiet as his name, at this time, when he heard his old friend's question, he just said peacefully: "He has his own choice." After speaking, he glanced at Ji Yan meaningfully.

"Gentlemen, what the hell is going on?" Ji Yan on the side couldn't help but ask out loud.

"They're talking about where you belong. An old man said, he was holding two balls in his hand, one black and one white, he was playing with it at the moment, the two balls were dripping in his hand or backwards, and Ji Yan seemed to see a Taiji diagram appear in his hand between rotations. Without thinking too much, Ji Yan also knew that this was the master of the chess hall.

"Yes, everyone else only takes one subject, and they can naturally only go to one hall, but you are different, not only a protégé of the Sword Palace, but also the top of the two halls of books and music, if you choose any of the other two halls, you can't hang up your face." The person who spoke was dirty, his clothes were red and green, and he looked gloating when he spoke, and he had no superior style at all.

"This, the student has already said at the beginning, I want to enter the Sword Hall the most, and if I can enter other halls, I can also study. ”

"You mean to cultivate all three arts?" said the master of the painting hall again.

Ji Yan nodded.

At this time, Mr. Pang finally spoke, "It is indeed useless for you to be too distracted, and a good skill in the Six Arts Middle School of the Academy is enough to look at the world, but if you insist, we will not object." ”

This is the most unusual thing about the college, they never force students to choose.

Ji Yan thought for a long time and said: "Students want to focus on kendo, but in their spare time, they also hope to listen to the preaching of the two gentlemen to solve their doubts. ”

The lord of the book hall smiled again, and the lord of the music hall didn't seem to have any hope that Ji Yan would go to the music hall, so he was also satisfied with this result, so Ji Yan retired, and there were already courtyard attendants on the side who took him to find someone else.
