Volume 1 The Scholarly Atmosphere Chapter 3 The Newborn Calf

The pavilion is in the north direction of Shangde Hall, divided into two parts, the base of the pavilion does not have steps, but the way of stepping feet, separating the floor and the land, the pavilion only has one floor, but the area is very wide, can accommodate many people, because there are many boys, so they are divided in the left pavilion.

With a squeak, Heng San opened the wooden door, and the room was brightly lit, with nine beds neatly arranged. It's actually a compliment to say that it's a bed, it's just a couch with nine beds on the ground, just enough to accommodate a small body.

"Because you joined temporarily, the preparation is also a little rushed, just tell me if you have anything less", Heng San held Xuan Shaoning's shoulders and arranged with a pleasant face.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Hengsan", after getting the young man's answer, Heng San smiled and turned to leave.

As soon as Heng San's front foot left, a boy stuck his back foot up, and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Xiao Moyan, Xiao who is not a descendant of Xiao, silent Mo, and a word that will be lost if you say too much, remember, I was in the hall just now and I greeted you, haha!" ”

Looking at this boy with a round face and short hair who is a little cute, Xuan Shaoning couldn't cry or laugh a little, did he introduce himself like this, and used idioms so indiscriminately, no wonder he wanted to come to Qingshan Academy to study hard. Besides, what was that greeting just now? It's clearly squeezing your eyebrows at yourself! The name given by his father and mother should have been in the hope that he would talk less, but it turned out to be the opposite, which is really unpredictable.

"Oh, I remember you" Xuan Shaoning understood that a smile was the most effective means of communication.

"Just remember, just remember! Haha, let's play together in the future, hey, let's all come and get to know each other! Looking at Xiao Moyan's liveliness, Xuan Shaoning was really a little driven by him, and his mood became more cheerful.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you" Xiao Moyan seemed to be very excited, and turned around and grabbed the boy closest to him, "His name is Duan Lang, his father and my father are world friends, we have been playing together since we were children, and this time the two of them entered the academy to study together, my good brother!" ”

This Duan Lang is taller than Xiao Moyan, and his body looks strong, which is very different from Xiao Moyan's fleshy feeling, Xuan Shaoning thought to himself, I really don't know how they can play together.

"That's right, we are good brothers, we can enter the academy together, and we will all be good brothers in the future!" Duan Lang smiled and patted Xuan Shaoning's shoulder with his left hand, this was his way of making friends.

"Duan Lang is more adaptable than Xiao Moyan," Xuan Shaoning muttered silently in his heart.

"Come on, come on, let me introduce next: this is Mu Qingyuan, we met on the way to the academy, he is knowledgeable, he knows a lot of things!" Xiao Moyan ran over again and pulled out a person to Xuan Shaoning.

"Hello, my surname is Mu Qingyuan, Xiao Moyan is too famous, I just read a lot of books" said and seemed to blush a little. This boy named Mu Qingyuan wore his hair in a bun like an adult, and he looked polite.

"Mu Qingyuan, don't be too modest", another boy stepped forward, although his face was yellow, but his body was quite strong. "Huo Qing is my name, I'm not like they come from a big family, I'm just a child of an ordinary peasant family, don't dislike it!" As he spoke, Huo Qing stretched out his hand, and there were many calluses on the base of his fingers in his palm, which seemed to be a regular farmer.

"I'm also an orphan, and my background is not as good as you," Xuan Shaoning also stretched out his hand to hold the wide and rough hands as if he felt the same way.

"Come on, come on, I'll continue to introduce you, this is ......" Before Xiao Moyan could finish speaking, a person interrupted him.

"Xiao Moyan, you really should listen to your father's words, silently and silently, say less, I don't need your introduction!" Someone shouted behind Xuan Shaoning, startling him. Xuan Shaoning turned around and saw that this was a boy with a very aristocratic temperament, dressed in brocade and very luxurious, so it was no wonder that he spoke with confidence.

"In the next Yan Ke Ran, Yin Yandi of the Capital Mansion is my father."

It turned out to be the son of Yin of the capital city, but he didn't expect to come to Qingshan Academy, it seems that this academy is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Xuan Shaoning's awe of the academy has deepened a little.

"Yo yo, the son of Yanfu Yin, you are too proud, you talk about your family background at every turn, and neither of us said it!" Xiao Moyan was very unconvinced: "Shaoning, do you know the family background of me and Mu Qingyuan?" Xiao Moyan took Xuan Shaoning's hand and asked very seriously.

"How do I know, it's weird!" Xuan Shaoning was a little puzzled in his heart, but he still took the initiative to give Xiao Mo a word down the steps, "I really don't know, can you talk about it?" ”

"Listen, my father is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and Mu Qingyuan's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple!" After speaking, he pouted, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and didn't look at Yan Ke Ran.

"Haha, Xiao Moyan, you are really silent, your father's official position is under the capital mansion. In the lower Su shallow, I am fortunate to be lucky! ”。 Although this boy named Su Qian was crepe in his words, Xuan Shaoning always felt that he looked like a small businessman.

"What! What the! I didn't say that my father was a high official....." Xiao Moyan was poked in the sore spot, blushing, and was about to continue to distinguish, Xuan Shaoning was afraid that he would quarrel endlessly, so he hurriedly rounded the field, "Very good, compared to an orphan like me, you are much stronger!" ”

"Don't say a word, it's my turn", a slightly chubby boy squeezed through the crowd and came to Xuan Shaoning, "My name is Du Shaoyin, my father is an ordinary private school teacher, my father has always hoped to have the best master to teach me, so I finally asked the master's consent to let me come to Qingshan Academy to study." ”

"Yes, Qingshan Academy is not a rich or official father can come in, several of us were personally selected by the master!" Xiao Moyan said and squeezed his eyes at Yan Keran, still unconvinced by the previous game.

"Have you had enough of arguing? If you want to make friends, go outside, I still have to sleep, and tomorrow I have to go to Master's class! The last boy said impatiently. Everyone looked at the innermost bed in the pavilion, and the boy had fallen asleep with his back to everyone.

"We've been in the academy for a few days, but he always doesn't interact with us, he always looks cold, and he doesn't fit in at all!" Xiao Moyan immediately added, "I heard that his name is Shi Gong Zhengyuan, it is really a person as his name suggests, and it is very strange. ”

Xuan Shaoning looked at the boy in the corner and had an indescribable feeling.

Boom...... Boom...... Boom......

Xuan Shaoning was woken up by a shrill sound, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning. He tilted his head and saw a man standing at the door of the pavilion, because he couldn't see his face clearly in the backlight, he only saw him holding a gong in his right hand and a hammer in his left hand, striking vigorously.

"Who's it, it's noisy!" Xiao Moyan struggled to get up and roared angrily.

"If you don't get up again, I'll lift your quilt and take you out one by one!" Then there was a tense "bang...... Boom...... The sound of the gong .......

As soon as he heard this, Xuan Shaoning woke up completely, isn't this voice Ye Kai?! Although it had been a long time since he had slept so comfortably and so steadily, he also understood that Ye Kai should not be talking about fun, so he immediately jumped out of bed and hurriedly ran out while getting dressed.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a dazzling ray of sunlight made Xuan Shaoning unable to open his eyes for a while, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and saw four girls standing on the flat ground in front of the pavilion.

At this time, Ye Kai walked past Xuan Shaoning and came to the flat ground, and said loudly: "The girls are much better than you!" I counted to five, and I wasn't allowed to eat breakfast until I came out! ”

So strict? Xuan Shaoning was still wondering if Ye Kai was joking or coming to the real thing, Shi Gong Zhengyuan had already run past him like a wind, and he was the first to reach Ye Kai.

"One"!

"Two"!

Come on really!

Xuan Shaoning also ran over after him, standing beside Shi Gong Zhengyuan, his body did not stand firmly, and he followed in time with the number of his mouth.

"Three"!

"Four"!

.......

The teenagers ran out of the wing room unkempt.

Before "Nine" could be shouted, someone was heard shouting "Wait, I'm coming, I'm coming", and then Xiao Moyan, who was disheveled and barefoot, stood on the ground last.

"At three o'clock every day, you must stand before me on time. Let's not care about it today, if someone can't do it in the future, then ......" Ye Kai deliberately lengthened his tone.

"So what?" Xiao Mo asked inappropriately.

"I have a hundred ways to punish you, if you want to see it, let the horse come!" After speaking, Ye Kai squeezed his eyes with a strange smile, but no matter how the teenagers looked at it, they felt terrible.

"Today's first homework is to run around the Moon Lake, dare to shout that you are tired and will fall behind, you don't have to eat breakfast!" Ye Kai took the lead and trotted up, and the teenagers all hurried to follow.

In the early morning of the academy, the air was cold, there was no summer heat, and they sweated slightly, and the teenagers did not feel tired.

Xuan Shaoning was immersed in further observation of the academy when someone suddenly bumped him with an elbow, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Moyan coming over.

"Look, the girl with the longest hair in front, her name is Qi Wantong, I think this name is very beautiful when I hear it", looking at Xiao Moyan's drooling appearance, Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Maybe it's just a beautiful name" Xiao Moyan didn't seem to hear Xuan Shaoning's voiceover, and continued: "She doesn't just have a good name, there are only four girls in this session, she is the most beautiful, really!" ”。

Listening to Xiao Moyan's thoughtful narration, looking at Xiao Moyan's eager eyes, Xuan Shaoning couldn't arouse his interest. He knew his identity very well, and he also knew the purpose of entering the academy, and he didn't want these unobtrusive things to affect him.

"I agree with Xiao Moyan, but he can only wipe his saliva silently, because Qi Wantong definitely doesn't look down on people who chirp crookedly all day long!" Unexpectedly, their words were heard by Yan Ke Ran on the side, and he also came over to interject a sentence, but this sentence annoyed Xiao Moyan.

"I'm talking a lot, it's true, Qi Wantong can't look down on the children of the gentlemen who can't lift their hands and can't resist their shoulders!" After venting, he didn't look at Yan Keran, and ran away by himself, so angry that Yan Keran stared. Facing such a fellow disciple, Xuan Shaoning could only smile helplessly.

However, Xuan Shaoning still looked at Qi Wantong's back. About two quarters of an hour later, the group had already run from the southeast corner of Lanyue Lake to the northwest corner.

"I can't run...... No, "The slightly chubby Mu Qingyuan was already out of breath.

"I ...... It's also ......" I didn't expect that there was a Du Shaoyin behind Mu Qingyuan, and his even more fat body had obviously become a burden, and he couldn't straighten up anymore.

Seeing that the two of them were getting farther and farther away from the main army, Xuan Shaoning had no choice but to return to help. At the same time, Huo Qing also ran over, and said to Xuan Shaoning while helping Du Shaoyin: "Let's help one by one." With that, the two picked up their companions and continued to run.

As the end drew nearer, a thick scent began to drill into the nose.

"It's so fragrant, the saliva is really flowing this time", not only Xiao Moyan, Xuan Shaoning also began to have a drumming stomach, and finally remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Keep it up, you'll be ready to eat soon!" Ye Kai encouraged at the right time.

This trick is really useful, even Mu Qingyuan and Du Shaoyin can run hard, and soon a building appears at the end of the road.

If Lanyue Lake is the lower Xuanyue, then this building is the upper Xuanyue, the whole is a fan facing the internal depression, into a semicircular structure, the outside is surrounded by a curved corridor, and a plaque is hung on the prism between the two innermost columns: the festival courtyard, a row of wooden gates are all wide open, and the fragrance of gluttonous saliva is wafting out from the inside.

"The festival house is a place to eat, right?" This time it was not Xiao Moyan who opened his mouth, but Yan Keran.

"That's right, the festival dining house means to save food, and it is a place for all the people of the academy to eat, and the chef here is a master of catering!" Ye Kai glanced at the teenagers and secretly swallowed his saliva.

"I can't help it, Senior Brother Ye, let's go in!" Du Shaoyin urged.

"Although your performance on the first day was not satisfactory, for the sake of the first day, I will not bother with you. Let's go, let's eat! ”

"Okay!" The teenagers who finished running suddenly came to their senses.

Walking into the festival dining house, the interior layout is also simple: several rows of long wooden tables are connected together, more than a dozen wooden benches are also connected, the walls are plain, unadorned, and a half-person-high window opens in the innermost position facing the door, and the sound of tinkling and clanging comes from inside.

Just as everyone was about to go in to see what was going on, a man with a short body, a round belly, a shiny face, and a big beard walked out of the window. The man had a dark fuchsia turban wrapped around his head, which seemed to be stained with oil smoke and looked greasy, and he held a large tray in each hand, each of which contained no less than five plates of food, but he did not look tired at all when he held it, and he was smiling.

Ye Kai greeted the man and said, "Fat Kui, I've brought a new junior brother and sister to cheer you on, what are you doing today?" ”

"Haha, I heard that you were coming, it just so happened that I was going down the mountain to buy ingredients three days ago, and I haven't seen it, and today I finally got my wish. My name is Xu Kui, because I am fat, everyone calls me Fat Kui, I am a rough person, that is, a cook! As he spoke, he put all the trays in his hand on the table, and the whole process was steady and steady.

"What is modest, there are other cooks in our academy, but if you want to say that the best skill is Fat Kui, who can be said to be the chef of the academy. Isn't it, Chef? Ye Kai is the usual ruffian style again, smiling evilly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I tried to make a few new breakfasts that I learned when I went down the mountain today, let's try them all!" Fat Kui looked at the teenagers and couldn't stop liking it from the bottom of his heart, and this time he smiled even more, but his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I'll taste it, I'll taste it!" Xiao Moyan is energetic again.

"And me, I'm hungry," Du Shaoyin continued.

"The first dish is taro jujube, which is made of purple taro peeled and cooked, kneaded into a mold, stuffed into a golden silk jujube, and then steamed in the second steaming drawer", I saw a small green glazed dish stacked with seven purple balls in the shape of jujubes.

"The second dish is three color rolls, using artemisia, ganxun, eggs, one layer of one ingredient, to make these three colors layered!"

"This third course is the most difficult to do, you need the best pork belly fat and this year's new Hu Kui with the tofu of Granny Hua's house, chop it and put it in the pot and fry it until it is seven ripe, then wrap it with rice bran powder and fry it in oil until it is golden brown, and then pour on my special sauce, put it in the steaming drawer and steam it for a quarter of an hour, and then it is finished!"

When Fat Kui introduced these foods, he was simply describing a rare artifact in the world, without taking into account the rumbling stomachs of others.

"Oh, I forgot, it also has a very crepe name, it's called Love Silk, how about it, hahaha!" Chubby Kui laughed contentedly.

"Master Fat Kui, that ...... I just want to ask...... Can we eat it? Duan Lang blinked his eyes that weren't too big, as if he was begging.

"Oh, I'm patronizing the introduction, eat, eat, haha!" No matter how delicate the food is, the focus is still on the taste, and Fat Kui is obviously quite confident in this.

No one answered, so the teenagers directly picked up the pastries with chopsticks and sent them to their mouths, and some even used their hands directly.

"Don't be reincarnated like a starving ghost, use chopsticks and eat slowly", Ye Kai put the snack in his hand into his mouth, and did not forget to correct your posture.

"Wow..... The taste is really good, and it is not worse than the Taiye residence in the capital! Su Qian said with admiration.

"Really? Really? Fat Kui's eyes widened, and the irrepressible pride was already on his face, but he still said modestly: "That's still incomparable, hehe, can't be compared to ......"

Looking at the appearance of the fat kui, everyone laughed. After a while, the table full of breakfast was all eaten, and all of them looked very satisfied.

A girl spoke first: "I didn't have a chance to meet yesterday, I guess the boys all know each other, so it's just the four of us girls!" She pointed in Xuan Shaoning's direction, and Xuan Shaoning immediately nodded affirmatively.

"My name is Zhao Keer, nine years old this year, my father opened an embroidery workshop, my mother is an embroiderer, I have been learning embroidery with my mother since I was a child, I am skillful!" The red fluttering little face was shy, and the two parted pigtails swayed with the head, which was really cute.

"Then you are the youngest of us, my brother will take care of you" Xiao Moyan rushed to be his brother.

"Let's learn to take care of ourselves first!" Yan Keran again, he hadn't put down the chopsticks in his hand, and he didn't forget to choke Xiao Moyan.

This time, Xiao Moyan didn't continue to raise the bar with him, and after giving him a blank look, he continued to ask with interest, "What about you?" ”

"Paint on the rouge and turn the face

Luoshui three thousand near the eyes

The ink is far away, who is watching

Annan Baijia was sealed for thousands of years

This is a poem that my father made for me, and my name is in this poem, Bai Luoyao "The girl who spoke was fair-skinned, especially a pair of eyes, like crystal, like amber, just one glance can be breathtaking.

"Annan Bai family? Your father is Bai Yuting? Ye Kai couldn't help but ask.

"That's right," Bai Luoyao replied lightly.

Several teenagers were still ignorant, and Ye Kai explained: "The Bai family in Annan is the largest pharmaceutical merchant in the Liang country, and nearly half of the medicinal materials in the country are in the hands of the Bai family. Not only the Liang family, but also the Bai family has business dealings with neighboring countries and is extremely powerful, but I heard that the Bai family has no men, only two women."

After listening to Ye Kai's explanation, everyone present was taken aback, they didn't expect that the girl in front of them turned out to be the daughter of such a bullish pharmacist.

"That's right, I am the eldest daughter in the family, and the foundation laid by generations of ancestors cannot be destroyed in my generation. Who says women are inferior to men? My father sent me to Castle Peak Academy in the hope that I would succeed in my studies and take on the responsibilities of my family in the future! When Bai Luoyao said these words, there was infinite resoluteness in her eyes, which was very inconsistent with her age.

"Good! I have written down all your words today, and I am waiting to see what the eldest lady of the Bai family will do in the future," Ye Kai encouraged.

"What an ambitious girl", Fat Kui listened to it and admired it very much, and then looked at the other girl next to Bai Luoyao, "What about you, little sister?" ”

"My name is Qi Wantong, I haven't seen my father since I was born, my mother raised me alone, I hope to learn the best music and dance." This is the most beautiful girl mentioned in Xiao Moyan's mouth, and Xuan Shaoning only looked at her seriously at this time. Sure enough, as Xiao Moyan said: jade-porcelain-like skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, and the figure has begun to appear, and when you want to grow up, your beauty will definitely not lose to Chu Hanqian.

"Speaking of music and dance, even if you look at the entire Liang country, you can count it with one palm, and Qianqian dances together, it's really ......" Ye Kai said, already wandering out of the world.

"Look at your virtue, quickly wipe your saliva, and don't be ashamed in front of your junior brothers and sisters!" Fat Kui reminded him in time. Ye Kai came back to his senses at this time, and quickly snorted twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Ke'er Hui has a blue heart, Luo Yao cares about the family, and Wantong was born to be a good material for dance. As for me, Ling Scarlet Yan, I just want to gallop on the battlefield like a man! A girl with a ball-combed hair and a bit of a manhood in her gestures stood up and said.

"It's a bit of a woman's momentum!" Ye Kai said with some appreciation.

"My father is a centurion of the Xuanjia Army, and I have listened to the stories of heroes since I was a child, although I am a daughter, but my father has always said that there is no shortage of heroines in the history of our Liang Kingdom, just like Li Yunxi, I don't want to be a girl like an ordinary girl, I want to go to the battlefield!"

This momentum even the boys are ashamed of, Xuan Shaoning admires it from the bottom of his heart, such a girl is rare in the world.

"Ambitious, I said that you should be ashamed as men?" Ye Kai changed his words and turned to the boys who were dumbfounded.

"Whatever your ambitions, you need to learn from now on. If you're full, then follow me to Shangdetang! ”
