Chapter 14 Enrollment
Today, Dark Night* Zhan specially put Aotian on vacation for a day! The reason is, of course--- Aotian is going to Xuanwu Academy today to report and start his study career!
In the morning, Aotian had just finished breakfast when he was taken to the hall by Maria, where the Dragon family's butler was waiting for Aotian.
Walking into the hall, I saw that my grandfather, father and housekeeper Uncle Zhang were all in the hall, and I bowed one by one.
"Aotian, wait for Steward Zhang to take you to the academy to report, you should have brought all your salutes, right? ”
Long Ming spoke first.
"Yes, you're ready!"
Aotian replied hastily.
"Steward Zhang, then you can take Aotian with you.
Long Ming said to the housekeeper Zhang Lin.
"Yes, sir!"
Then Aotian followed the butler and walked towards the door. Observing the Long family housekeeper walking in front of him, Aotian couldn't help but be curious about this weak body! In fact, Aotian knew that if he just looked at Steward Zhang's body and felt that he was a weak old man, then it must be himself who regretted it. I heard that this Uncle Zhang's original name was Zhang Lin, and when he was very young, he was a capable general under his grandfather, and after following his grandfather to fight in the south and north for more than 30 years, because his grandfather was transferred to the Imperial Military Department as the marshal of the Imperial Military Department, he himself followed his grandfather to the Long family as the head manager! His grandfather had never looked at him as a person, and he had always regarded him as a brother! So he still had a very high status in the Long family, and everyone respected him very much, of course, he was also a ninth-level powerhouse! At home, he was also a master. Of course, my father and uncle had also entered the ranks of ninth-level emperor-level masters three years ago. So Aotian still has a lot of respect for this housekeeper.
Feeling the observation of Aotian behind, Zhang Lin didn't pay any attention. I've been in the Long family for nearly 20 years. Since the old man returned to the military department at the age of 50, he has followed him to the Long family, and unknowingly stayed in the Long family for 20 years! Because he is also from a humble background, he is actually very sympathetic to what happened to the young master in the back, and he is actually very dissatisfied with the attitude of the people in the family towards him, but after all, he is an outsider and it is inconvenient to intervene in the internal affairs of the Long family. The only way to do it is to remind the master once in a while that he still has a forgotten grandson.
"Well, young master, get in the carriage. “
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a Long family's carriage parked there, and Zhang Lin turned around and said to Aotian.
Climbing into the carriage, Aotian respectfully did opposite the butler. Carefully observe the withered face. Just when Aotian was observing Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin was also observing Aotian.
Looking at Aotian sitting opposite, with delicate facial features, healthy skin and strong muscles, sharp eyes, and the long flowing fiery red shawl hair and the arrogance and temperament exuded by Aotian, Zhang Lin suddenly felt that the person sitting opposite was not the waste material in people's mouths, but a superior person. A promising teenager. Shaking his head, Zhang Lin focused his attention on the window, he didn't dare to imagine that when he faced this little young master who had never been taken seriously, he would have the feeling he would have when facing Long Ming! Maybe he was thinking too much! He comforted himself.
Half an hour was spent in this silence. As the carriage stopped, the coachman opened the curtain and said, "Little young master, Steward Zhang, it's time to learn martial arts." ”
Hearing the coachman's words, Aotian followed Zhang Lin and got out of the carriage. The scene that catches your eye amazes Aotian!
Two huge stone lions stood majestically at the gate of the academy! The fiery red gate stood towering behind the stone lions, with a simple atmosphere, making people stand solemnly! At the highest point of the gate, the dragon flying and the phoenix danced with the four big characters of "Xuanwu Academy," revealing the vigorous strength and the arrogance of the people! I heard that these four words were carved by the dean of the Academy's No. 1 Master Academy with his sword in person! Feeling the arrogance in it, Aotian was full of expectations for the students.
"Little master, let's go! hurry up and report. ”
Seeing that Aotian was attracted by the gate of the academy, Zhang Lin interrupted his contemplation and said to him.
Aotian, who was pulled back from his thoughts, reluctantly glanced at the inscription, and then walked towards the academy with Steward Zhang! While walking, he observed the first academy of the empire, looked at the big trees on the side of the road, and felt the strong breath of learning and the students who occasionally rushed by, and felt the strong breath of learning, Aotian couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the first academy, and the students here probably spent their time on cultivation. It's really rare to see students playing on the road.
Crossing this long avenue, Aotian and Steward Zhang stopped in front of a white building. There is nothing strange about the white building in front of me, the two-story building, the white appearance, and the occasional sound of students can be heard inside. The surrounding fold is covered by a lush forest, which is more conspicuous and quiet.
When I walked into the hall, I saw that there were three large tables inside, and two people were sitting in front of each table, and there were signs in front of them, which were the --- junior college admissions office and the two senior college admissions offices.
Looking at these signs, Aotian can also guess that this is probably the admissions office of the college. Because Xuanwu College is divided into junior and senior colleges, there are only three admissions offices here, and it is easy to understand why there are two admissions offices of senior colleges, thinking that after the age of 16, everyone can take the exam, and those who pass can enter the senior college for further study! Otherwise, they can only continue to stay in the junior college and continue to cultivate. As the first academy of the empire, Xuanwu Academy certainly has many people applying for the exam every year, although there are only a few 1,000 people, but compared to the 500 people in the junior college, it is more than doubled, and it is not surprising that there is one more place to sign up.
Walking to the registration office of the junior college, Steward Zhang took out the admission notice of Aotian and handed it to a teacher sitting there! The teacher took the notice and looked at the name on it, and when he saw the three words Long Aotian written on it, he immediately looked at the old man in front of him with reverence. Looking at the Aotian behind him, he was relieved. On the last day of today's registration, the students basically completed the registration procedures a few days ago, and there was nothing to do today, but in the morning, he received a notice from the principal that someone would come to register today, and hoped that he could help him complete the formalities. I still wonder who could make the principal personally explain this matter to me, but now after reading it, I know that it is a member of the Long family. In fact, I have also heard of Long Aotian, and I remember that 5 years ago, he was the person who was rumored to be in the imperial capital. However, I remember that he is the Nine Yin Vein, but how can he enter the academy to study? Not to mention this academy, even if he is admitted to an ordinary academy, he may not be able to pass the assessment. Immediately thought of the identity of the Long family, and then understood the truth. For the Long family's dedication to the empire, it is normal to arrange a descendant of the Long family to study in their own college! After confirming that it is correct, I helped fill out the enrollment form according to the above information and handed it to Aotian for signature.
Looking at the strange look in the teacher's eyes, Aotian also knew what was going on. He took the form, filled in his name, and handed it back to the teacher.
After confirming that it was correct, the teacher took out a small book and a key and sent it to Aotian's eyes and said to Aotian: "Well, the third class of swordsmen! Now that you are an official member of our Xuanwu Academy, you must keep this academy manual in mind as soon as possible! Also, do you want to choose a double dormitory or a single person? The fee for a double person is 20 gold coins per academic year, and a single person is 40 gold coins. “
After thinking about it, Aotian felt that he now had to be basking every day and receiving the training of his master, so in order not to let others know about it, Aotian still chose a single dormitory.
"This is your dorm key. It has your dorm number on it. You can just wait and get over. This is also your student card, which will not only be your identification card in the future, but also the card you will use when eating in the college cafeteria. Your tuition and living expenses for the current academic year are 100 gold coins. ”
Seeing that Aotian had made a choice, the teacher said.
Taking the things from the teacher's hand, Aotian handed over the 100 gold coins that his grandfather had received in the morning. Watching the golden coins in his hand flow into the teacher's hands, Aotian was really reluctant. Although his family has money, but those are all family's, and he has a better relationship with himself, he can only receive 2 gold coins of pocket money every month, and this is only 8 years old to start receiving! z has only saved a pitiful 120 gold in the past few years. At first, I thought it was a lot, but I didn't expect that the tuition fee would be about the same as the money I had saved for five years! You must know that an ordinary family of five can live a comfortable life with 100 gold coins a year.
After sighing, Aotian took the salute and Steward Zhang and walked towards his dormitory. Looking at the number plate in his hand, it said 4 buildings, 302 Aotian, and walked directly to the fourth building after arriving at the dormitory area.
Looking at the dormitory buildings in front of me. Aotian searched for a long time before finally finding his dormitory building in a corner~ Walking up to the building and finding his room, Aotian took out the key and opened the eight doors and walked in.
Looking at his bedroom, Aotian nodded with satisfaction~ A small bedroom with a delicate bed and a desk and chair on display. There is also a small balcony attached.
Putting down the salute, Aotian was ready to start tidying up the hut where he would live for the next three years.
