Volume 1 The Cold Front, the Troubled Times Chapter 0200 The Bird That Doesn't Song

Previous Chapter

Hearing the new disciples around him talking about Xia Ruchu, Zhang Teng was slightly surprised, but he didn't care too much.

It's just that the noisy classroom at this time makes him feel a little familiar and familiar, as if he has returned to the old days of going to school in China.

However, this noise was quickly stopped by Xia Ruchu, and the classroom was so quiet that it could be heard falling pins.

After knowing that the teacher who taught him was Xia Ruchu, all the children of the powerful were silent, not to mention those ordinary children, who didn't even dare to breathe.

The books were quickly distributed, and they were eight textbooks for different courses, which were "On Qi: Three Realms", "Soldiers' Sayings: Ancient and Modern Books", "The Basics of Danxue", "Craftsmen's Knowledge", "Brief Records of Tianyuan Wuzhi", "Yunxia General History", "River Naturalists", and "Travelogues".

"On Qi: Three Realms" is a textbook for personal martial arts theory courses and a compulsory subject.

"Soldiers' Sayings: Ancient and Modern Lessons" is a textbook for military theory courses and an elective subject.

"Fundamentals of Danxue" and "Essentials of Craftsmanship" are textbooks in medicine and instrumental science, and they are also elective subjects.

"Yunxia General History" is a history textbook and a compulsory subject.

"A Brief Record of Tianyuan Martial Arts", "River Naturalist" and "Travelogue Guangwen" are common sense textbooks, and occasionally there will be old scholars in class, but you can learn or not.

When he got the book, Zhang Teng took a cursory look at it, and the compulsory textbooks were relatively easy to understand, while the optional textbooks were relatively obscure, and the general knowledge textbooks were a bit esoteric, and they couldn't understand it without a certain literary foundation.

This is not surprising, the reason why the compulsory textbooks are written in an easy-to-understand way is because most of the disciples of the Yunjing Martial Academy are not highly literate.

After all, it is a martial arts academy, and most of the new disciples are the top three in the martial arts club, and the main energy is spent on martial arts training on weekdays, so the energy spent on literature is much less.

However, I heard that this year has also added two textbooks of "Literary Style" and "Le Ya", offering literature and music courses, the former is compulsory, the latter is elective, they will be sent down in a few days, respectively taught by Sima You, a master of literature and Liu Mengjun, a master of music and law, aiming to improve the cultural and artistic literacy of the martial arts academy.

I heard that Zhao Sheng, the dean of the Yunjing Martial Academy, has recently suffered a big loss in these two aspects, and has been scolded as a Nanban water thief, and he has lost his old face, so he specially asked people to set up courses to avoid the disciples of the martial arts academy from following in their own footsteps.

After distributing the book, Xia Ruchu did not attend class, but only said some more important martial arts rules and classroom discipline, and then let the new disciples study on their own.

About half an hour later, Xia Ruchu posted the latest class schedule, and then announced that the class would be over, and the new disciples would report to the disciple's academy to arrange the dormitory.

When it was almost noon, Zhang Teng and Chen Ning went to the public canteen of the Martial Arts Academy, and the food was sumptuous, but the taste was average.

However, compared to many civilian disciples, it was already a rare and delicious meal. The most important thing is that the meals do not need to be paid by the children of the martial arts, and they are generally supplied by the martial arts and subsidized by the imperial court.

Of course, the canteen is also divided into a disciple's canteen and a teacher's canteen, and both canteens are divided into grades, the children of the common people eat basic meals, eat at the same table, and have the same dishes, while the children of the powerful eat high-end meals, with a variety of dishes, and even private rooms.

In the afternoon, Zhang Teng and Chen Ning were also assigned to the dormitory, which was a four-person room, with four beds and some simple furniture, simple and simple.

Zhang Teng is nothing if he is alone, but with Chen Ning by his side, he naturally did not move in, but spent a lot of money, at the price of three gold jade in a month, equivalent to 3,000 yuan in Huaxia, to find an independent double bedroom.

Compared with three silver jade per month, which is almost a free room for four people (it is explained here that the disciples of Yunjing Martial Academy have a special subsidy, and the rent will also be deducted in it), the independent double bedroom is already ten times more expensive.

In fact, an ordinary double bedroom only costs a golden jade, but next to the double bedroom next to it, there are many people, Zhang Teng is not satisfied, so he found an independent double bedroom.

Of course, a better bedroom is an independent courtyard, and the monthly rent is Jinyu, but it is not something that can be moved in with money, and you must have strength and background to apply for approval.

The bedroom was not much larger than the original four-person room, but it was fully furnished and the environment was relatively quiet and convenient.

The most important thing is that for Chen Ning, she doesn't need to go to the boys' bathhouse with other disciples to line up and grab the bathing room, there is a big bathtub in the dormitory, and she can go directly to pick up hot water and wash up after class.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not late, Zhang Teng took Chen Ning to the grocery store of the martial arts academy to buy some daily necessities, and rearranged the bedroom to make it more convenient, more comfortable, and more warm.

Although Chen Ning didn't mind, Zhang Teng still took into account her gender, and in order to protect her personal privacy, the bed, toilet, and bathtub were slightly modified, so that the two would not be too close and embarrassed.

He wants to protect Chen Ning's girl well, whether from the physical or psychological aspects, he hopes that she will be safe and secure.

After Zhang Teng's renovation, the double bedroom has changed a lot from the original, and the whole room looks more upscale and elegant than the original, full of style, and even has a bit of homely taste.

Chen Ning looked at everything in front of him, and was not only surprised in his heart, but also deeply moved.

At this time, her eyes fell on the wide, soft, neat and warm bed of the two, and suddenly seemed to think of something, her face flushed, and her eyes looked at Zhang Teng with a little more inexplicable shyness.

Chen Ning gently tugged at Zhang Teng's sleeve and shouted softly, "Little brother." ”

Zhang Teng looked at her suspiciously: "Well, what's wrong?"

Chen Ning blushed and lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Or...... We...... Let's have two beds together, it's too much space to be separated...... It was also a little warmer for two people in winter......"

"Ahh

"Little brother, are you okay?" Chen Ning raised his head and shook his arm coquettishly for the first time, as if he had mustered up courage, and his eyes were shy and bold.

Zhang Teng looked at her, suddenly smiled slightly, touched her face gently, and said, "It's not good, you stay in your bed obediently, don't think nonsense." ”

"Isn't it possible?"

"Well, it's really not good, there is a difference between men and women, it is not a formality, and there are faux pasas. ”

"Okay. Chen Ning turned around in disappointment, her whole body trembling slightly, as if she was secretly crying.

Seeing this, Zhang Teng was full of apologies and wanted to reach out to comfort her a few words, but his palm was on Chen Ning's shoulder, and he suddenly felt that something was not right.

Her shoulders were not swaying from crying, but her muscles were squirming from the disappearance.

"No, you have to try it to know!"

I saw Chen Ning, who had recovered his daughter's body, suddenly turned around, looked playful, and while smiling, he pounced on Zhang Teng, and suddenly pressed him down on the bed not far away, like a big bad wolf, opening its bloody mouth to a little lamb.

"Aning, you...... Hmmm......"

Before someone finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by two petals, and the gentle trap was opened in an instant, almost making him almost fall and unable to extricate himself.

"I'll go fetch water, and you stay at home and wait for me to come back. ”

After a while, Chen Ning pursed his lips, straightened his clothes with one hand, and held a wooden barrel in the other, looking radiant and walking out of the door in high spirits.

"Poof!"

When she went out, she covered her mouth and snickered, the little brother was so stupid and cute, that she couldn't help but bully him again and again.

Although she has not yet crossed the last threshold, she has a long way to go, and she has a chance.

Just thinking about it, Chen Ning took another bite of herself: Tut, Chen Ning, Chen Ning, when did you become so bad? She then said to herself: Hehe, only for the little brother, I am so bad. Is there something wrong? Hmph!

Nothing to say all night......

On the second day, Zhang Teng attended all the classes, listened with relish, and made a lot of concise and clear class notes.

As for Chen Ning, he accompanied him to listen drowsily, and was woken up by the teacher who taught him several times, especially when he was in a military theory class, when answering questions, he was full of mistakes and omissions, which made people laugh, and he was punished by the teacher on the blade and stood with a bowl of water for an hour.

The main reason is that Chen Ning herself has only been studying in a private school for a few years, she is not very literate, and her culture is not high, and she can't understand many things at all, not to mention that she is an ordinary girl who is not interested in military theory at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Teng shook his head helplessly, and when he came back in the evening, he comforted her, telling her not to accompany him to elective courses in the future, and to focus on compulsory courses as much as possible, just concentrate on martial arts.

In addition, Zhang Teng bought pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some related books, and took the time to teach Chen Ning to read and write at night.

During this period, he adopted the Chinese interest education method, through poetry and songs, edutainment, what Tang poems, Song songs, Yuan songs, Ming and Qing dynasties, including some ancient Chinese allusions, were used to teach Chen Ning, so that Chen Ning's cultural level improved rapidly.

Not only that, but he also taught Chen Ning various etiquette, trying his best to let her stand in the Yunjing Martial Academy, so as not to be ridiculed.

At the same time, with the opening of the book "Le Ya", Chen Ning and Jun Aya learned musical instruments such as piano and pipa from Liu Mengjun.

More than half a year has passed in a hurry, in the environment of Yunjing Martial Arts Academy, under the irrigation of Zhang Teng's Chinese education, Chen Ning has undergone great changes, she is no longer the ignorant country girl at the beginning, but a fair lady who knows books and etiquette, and is erudite and talented.

Of course, My Fair Lady is someone like Zhang Teng who knows her real gender.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a knowledgeable and courteous, studious, versatile, and beautiful son.

For most of the year, Chen Ning's cultivation has improved rapidly, and he is now at the end of the spiritual realm.

If Zhang Teng hadn't suggested that she suppress the realm first and complete the spiritual realm, she would have advanced to the spiritual flow realm a long time ago, at least in the middle stage.

Chen Ning is also a rare Five Elements talent, if he does not cultivate the spiritual realm and advance to the spiritual flow realm, he will waste a great talent, and his final realm and his own combat power in the future will also lag behind others at the same level, which is extremely inappropriate.

In the past six months, Zhang Teng has taken all the courses and basically mastered all the subject theories.

He is low-key and unassuming, and many times he encounters provocations from other disciples in the academy, and even ordinary verbal insults are silently endured, trying not to contradict others as much as possible.

However, for such a long time, his cultivation was still at the end of the Spirit Gathering Realm, which made many people despise and ridicule.

Zhang Teng didn't say anything, working hard silently, while Chen Ning waited silently, blocking all kinds of troubles for Zhang Teng. She knows better than anyone that some things are not as simple as they seem, and some people are not as clumsy as they seem.

There is a sentence in the allusion that Zhang Teng once said: This bird, if it does not sing, it has become a blockbuster, and if it does not fly, it has soared into the sky.
