Shizhao County School, can also be called Hezhou State School, because Hezhou is not large, the population is not large, the county school also hung the brand of state school.

The county school has a name, called Lianxi Academy, a two-entry courtyard, built on the bachelor's mountain in the south of Hezhou City, surrounded by shady trees, beautiful scenery, the winding Jialing River turned a corner under the mountain, just wrapped the mountain in the water, people live in it, just like being in the mountains and rivers, quiet and elegant, it is perfect for concentrating on reading.

In ancient times, there were no well-known scribes, not even a few Xiucai, because the terrain was closed, the literary style was not prosperous, and the whole Shu was like this, except for a few big cities such as Chengdu, there were no things like schools and academies in other state capitals.

To prosper a place of literary style, no giant Confucianism is not possible, the first year of the Great Song Dynasty Jiayou, Zhou Dunyi played this role, he served as the prince, signed the general judgment of Hezhou, stayed here for five years, felt that the residents here are simple, but ignorant, in the bachelor's mountain to build a heart pavilion, open lectures, heard the news of thousands of students, will eventually read the seeds, planted here.

In the past 100 years, under the expansion of the descendants, the Yangxin Pavilion has become bigger and bigger, and finally became a place of academy, and the people of the state are grateful for the contribution of Zhou Dunyi, and take its name "Mr. Lianxi" as the name of the academy, which has the birth of Lianxi Academy.

On the first day after the winter solstice in the second year of Baoqing, Lianxi Academy ushered in four new students.

The three brothers of the Li family walked in front with vigor, the new clothes they were wearing, royal blue satin robes, beautiful white silk heads, carrying a water of rattan bookcases, and even the shoes and socks on their feet were newly bought in the county town.

The eldest grandson Hong walked behind, wearing a cloth shirt that Li Wen bought for him, although it was also very new, but compared with the first three rich children, it was still much inferior, but he didn't care at all, Shi Shiran followed behind, without the consciousness of a scholar, in the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary child whose family realm was worse than the previous three.

Li Jin carried three cages on his back and followed the four of them with great effort, working hard, the scars on his face had healed, and some faint bruises were still there, which also reflected from the side that Wang Gui's shot was indeed very serious, and he fought very badly, but he did not have a heavy hand.

Li Wen turned his head, a little dissatisfied, he leaned over and asked Changsun Hong: "It's just that you don't do things for us, why don't you bring the dog?" We entered school today, and there was only one Li Jin with us, which was very embarrassing for others to see. ”

Li Wu also said: "Yes, I heard that there are many rich families in the county school, and our pomp and circumstance are small, where can we still hold those students inside, and you are looked down upon by others, and you are also disgraced." ”

Changsun Hong looked at the three of them speechlessly, and shook his head: "Are you here to be rich, or are you here to study?" ”

"Of course, it's reading, but I also want to save face." Li Wen shook his head and was about to say a few more words, but was directly ignored by Eldest Sun Hong, and walked past him and entered the gate of the academy.

Changsun Hong had a draw with Chen Yu on the street that day, the fierceness of the scene opened the eyes of the three brothers of the Li family, and they also had a deeper understanding of Changsun Hong's ruthlessness.

So Li Wen was deflated, but he didn't dare to get angry, but instead trotted away with Changsun Hong, shouting: "Slow down, wait for us." ”

At the end, Li Jin gritted his teeth and staggered with a heavy cage on his back, and followed suit, it was full of the three young masters' playthings, snacks and food, and the three of them were afraid that they would stay in the academy for a day, and they would be extremely bored, so they brought all the things they played.

The academy is very large, there are five or six wide study halls, there are usually nearly 100 people here often, the front yard reads, the back yard is the teacher's office and accommodation, although Hezhou is small, but also has jurisdiction over three counties, but it is big, some students and teachers are far away, they choose to live here, the mountain has reclaimed the vegetable field, you can be self-sufficient.

The steward of the academy followed the three of them, and wrote a document to the eldest grandson, who took it out at this time, and the steward read it and said, "Come with me." ”

Lianxi Academy follows the ancient system, divided into four classes of "heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang", the further back, the older the students are, and the last yellow class is the main force of the spring examination in the next year.

I turned a corner along the corridor and came to the door of a large house, where a wooden sign was hung on the lintel, and the word "Tian" in a lishu came into view, and the steward stopped and said to a few people: "This is it, you follow me in, and the servants stay outside." ”

Changsun Hong nodded, and walked in first, letting Li Jin, who was following behind, grit his teeth and "gurgle", Changsun Hong looked back, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasing to his eyes.

The windows in the room were bright and clean, and the sun shone in through the wood-framed lattice windows, sprinkling the golden light all over the room, and there were twenty or thirty people sitting inside, all of whom were twelve or thirteen years old, of average size, sitting behind desks.

As soon as the steward pushed open the door, the room instantly quieted down, the teenagers stopped their hands and feet, and looked at the door curiously.

The three members of the Li family followed behind, the threshold seemed to have magic power, and the proud heads of the three of them were lowered at once, this is not the Li family village, they saw at a glance that the young men sitting were basically in brocade clothes, and they were all wearing high-grade clothes, and there was basically no worse than them, which seriously hit the self-confidence of the three people, and the tail was clamped, and they were much more low-key.

The steward stood in front and said to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet today, there are three students in the class, named Changsun Hong, Li Wen, Li Wu, and Li Chongjin. ”

When he called a name, he stretched out his finger and pointed at it, so that everyone could know the newcomer, but as soon as he called out the name of Changsun Hong, there was a buzz below, and the introductions of the three people behind him were drowned out.

"He's the eldest grandson?"

"It looks like it's the size of us, nothing special."

"Dressed so worn, is it really a child of a family?"

……

The steward frowned, but he didn't feel anything, young people are active and curious by nature, and it is common for them to talk about new classmates, but Li Wen and the others are a little worried, is it that the fight with Changsun Hong on the street has spread here, so that these people know?

The steward raised his eyes and pointed to the four people behind him: "There are still seats there, you go and sit there." ”

Then he instructed: "Since you have come to the school, you should study hard, and when you come to high school, you can repay the kindness of your parents and the cultivation of your master, don't be stubborn, your homework is not good, and you will not be productive sooner or later." ”

The four of them nodded again and again, and when the steward saw that they had settled down, they pulled their legs and left, leaving the four of them to leave on their own.

The disturbing chatter in the room did not stop, and all the attention of everyone was on the most inconspicuously dressed Changsun Hong, like a star holding the moon with many stars, Changsun Hong walked past the tables and chairs, met countless eyes, and sat down on a chair at the back as if no one was around.

He looked at the room full of teenagers and sighed in his heart: "Okay, it's time to read again." ”
