399. The Small
The palace school is surrounded by attics, and the second floor is somewhat similar to the interior of the dock fort, which is connected by wooden walkways, which is convenient for the black iron guards, teachers, and future villagers on duty to inspect.
The school is downstairs and has more than twenty classrooms.
At the end of the morning class, the teenagers ran out of the hall briskly, and after everyone else had left for a while, the brothers Deng Shi and Deng Zhang came out of it together.
Deng Shi had a purple blue on his forehead, and Deng Zhang was listless and a little depressed.
Walking outside, there was no one left and right, Deng Shecai asked: "Look at your appearance, the head of the sect has not answered today?" β
Deng Zhang nodded and sighed softly: "I only said 'Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its righteousness'." β
Deng Shi said dissatisfiedly: "Now that you know his temperament, why bother asking every day?" He is not the only one to teach in the palace, or he will return home at the end of the month and ask for advice from Master Cai! β
"If you don't know what you mean, it's like eating meat without chewing it, and you don't know the taste of it! The rest of the teachings are only one or two books, and although Master Xun is talented, he is strict and difficult to approach. Deng Zhang said with white eyes, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I am not competent to teach Xi, not as far as Master Cai, do you want to sue my father and ask for another sage to entrust me?" β
Deng Shi shook his head, and persuaded him like a little adult: "Teaching on weekdays, the head teacher is also attentive, and the texts you ask every day are not taught in the school, so he will not answer and there is no fault." Now that Dayuan has been customized, officials should have their own decisions, and my father also needs to follow, although you and my brother are princes, they are still young, how dare they get involved? β
Deng Zhang sighed: "My father is still like this, what is the advantage of the prince's body?" β
Deng Shi smiled at this time: "It's good to know." β
Outside the courtyard gate on the left, a tiger-headed boy ran out, eight or nine years old. He shouted at his brothers, "Hurry up." Hurry up. No matter how late the two brothers are, the good food is gone! β
The boy was the son of Che Huang, named Ben, who was young and did not study in the same classroom as his brother.
In order to wait for Deng Zhang, I did delay some time. Seeing that he was stomping his feet and couldn't wait for his gluttonous appearance, he wanted to wait forcibly again, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and walked over together. Gather Che Ben and go to the cafeteria together.
Under the wall of the left courtyard is the palace canteen, and not far away, you can see the new dormitory that Dapai is building.
Now there are more than 500 first-class meritorious people who study in the palace school, but most of the people who are in Luoyang City go home to eat, and there are only one or two hundred people in the canteen every day.
When the three of them entered the cafeteria, most of them were already chewing food around the case, and there were not many people waiting in line to get food.
Next to the desk where the teenagers were eating, several palace masters were wandering around, checking to see if anyone was missing food on the desk, underground, or talking to each other during meals.
The palace school does not accept girls, and Deng Qing of the second uncle's family is young. also goes home to eat every day, so Deng Zhong and Deng Zhang don't need to take care of others. Only led the car to the back.
As the team moved forward, Deng Shi remembered something again, and turned around and told Niu Ben: "Be less prosperous today, beware of being punished by the master again!" β
Che Ben's hand shook and nodded hurriedly: "I know!" β
This kid is greedy, and he doesn't know the amount of his own stomach, and he can't even eat half of the food he bought when he entered school a month ago, and he has been severely punished several times.
He didn't remember it, and there were some leftovers on the plate yesterday that he couldn't eat, and he was slapped five more times by Xun Hong, the son of Xun Chen. Deng Shi was a little uneasy, thinking about it, and let Che Ben line up in front of him instead.
"Scared, cut in line!"
Hearing the sudden voice from behind, Deng Shi and Deng Zhang were startled, turned around quickly, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the speaker clearly: "Shicai didn't pay attention, it turned out to be Brother Ayan!" β
Standing behind him with a smile was Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu, fifteen years old, nicknamed Ah Yan, and behind him stood his younger brother Jia Wan.
Deng Zhang complained: "I thought it was the master, scared and killed!" β
"Willing to change positions, the master has nothing to say," Deng Shi explained to his younger brother, and then asked Jia Mu: "Xian Kunzhong used to return to the family for food, why do you go to the canteen today?" β
Hearing his question, Jia Mu and Jia Wan both became resentful, and Jia Mu smiled bitterly: "My father has sent my brother's clothes to the palace to study, and rented the dormitory, and then issued a strict order, in the future, they will also need to be like Xi'er and Baoshu, and they will only be allowed to return home for three days at the end of the month!" β
After listening to him, the Deng Shi brothers not only sighed for the same disease, but also gloated when they saw the same bad luck of othersβββ there are many friends in the palace school, and there is a lot of fun, some young people stay alone, there will be night crying, bedwetting will become a joke, a few of them can get used to it, but compared to home, although the food here is rich, the taste is really not good, they are not as picky as Che Ben, but they dare not complain.
"If you want to laugh, laugh," Jia Mu was usually very witty, rolled his eyes and said, "No need to endure it!" β
Deng Zhang really laughed out loud, Deng Shi pretended to sigh and said, "When I think of my body, I can't laugh." β
All four laughed together.
As the queue moved forward, and finally it was Che Ben's turn, Deng Shi watched him take a clean wooden plate, fill half a plate of millet in the wooden barrel, and pointed to let the cook make two spoonfuls of steamed fatty meat, half a fish, and wanted to add another spoonful of cold preserved eggs.
Deng Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, and said to the cook: "You don't need to give preserved eggs, and half a bowl of chicken soup is enough!" β
He said to Che Ben again: "The preserved eggs are already cold, if it is not enough after eating, add it!" β
Che Ben pursed his lips dissatisfied, but he also remembered that he would be beaten if he couldn't finish eating, so he didn't disobey him, took the wooden bowl of soup handed by the cook, and walked to the master who kept the account next to him.
The master had already written down the account of Che Ben's food, let Che Ben take a look, took off Che Ben's waist plate with his own hand, and printed it on the account with mud.
Che Ben's matter was over, and he stopped and waited for Deng She.
Deng She's appetite is not as good as Che Ben, as long as a cranberry boiled meat, a cold preserved egg, and a bowl of chicken soup.
After Deng Zhang, Jia Mu, and Jia Wan also got their own meals and wrote down the accounts, the five of them went to find a seat together.
Seeing that there were only three people on a long case, and the rest were empty, they all went over together.
The three teenagers on the case here, Deng Shi originally only knew the one who was the same age as Che Ben was Qin Lang, the adopted son of Han Qi, the dean of supervision, the latter two were only known in the palace, the fifteen-year-old was the second son of the Ministry of Industry's Wupin Division, and the fourteen-year-old little fat man was Luo Gu, the son of Luo Zhao, a master craftsman.
Deng She, the father of the district map, has also heard of it, and has been a small official in Luoyang County who manages the craftsmen's guild. Dayuan set up six departments, the Ministry of Industry is vacant, the Ministry of Industry is set to be District Tie and Wang Wei, but I am afraid that the reward will be too high, so I will only temporarily award the five grades of the official, by the old stonemason Gao Li of Sankun Mountain temporarily serve as the waiter, this old stonemason is old, at most in two or three years will be idle to retire.
When you get here, it's no longer the same as when you queue up, you need to abide by the dogma of not saying anything and sleeping silently, Deng She's five people came over, Outu, Luo Gu, and Qin Lang only stood up and bowed their hands, Deng Shi and others carried the dinner plate with both hands, and they could only return the salute with their heads, and both sides were silent.
When the eight of them sat down, the surroundings were quiet, and they could only hear the sound of each chewing and swallowing.
Remembering that Che Ben wanted to eat preserved eggs before, Deng Shi sandwiched some of his own plates.
Qin Lang finished eating first, then Ou Tu and Luo Gu also got up, and Deng Shi waited for Che Ben to finish eating before going to deliver the tableware together.
Xun Hong sat at the place where the tableware was delivered with a ring ruler, and the tableware was cleaned by a woman hired by himself, so that the students did not need to work hard, but if there was food left in anyone's plate, they would be beaten by Xun Hong.
Today, there were no particles left in the car's plate, and the five of them had to hand over the cutlery smoothly and walk out of the canteen together.
From time to time, Gong Xue was allowed to play with halberds and bows, and Jia Mu invited the Deng Shi brothers and Niu Ben to their dormitory as guests.
The house where the brothers Jia Mu and Jia Wan lived was the same as the residence of Deng She, Deng Zhang, Che Ben, and Ma Cang, and the other two people who lived in the same room with the Jia brothers were Zhang Tao, the grandson of Zhang Yi, the former Taishou of Hedong and the current head of the household department, and Hou Zheng, the son of the meritorious and brave man.
Since entering the palace school, accustomed to napping, every day without rest for half an hour in the afternoon is not energetic, Deng She's three people to Jia Mushe's room, just to recognize the door, sit down a little and then say goodbye and go back.
Ma Cang, who lived with the three of them, was the third son of the old guerrilla captain Ma Pi, who was one year older than Deng She, and had already slept first.
Deng She, Deng Zhang, and Che Ben also went back to the bed for a nap.
At the beginning of the day, the horn of the ox horn sounded in the school palace, Ma Cang, Deng She, and Deng Zhang got up first, called Che Ben together, and washed up a little bit, and then they all carried the wooden knife, wooden halberd, and small bow in the dormitory to the martial arts field.
The people who study here are all first-class meritorious people, Deng Ji does not dare to be careless, there is a black iron guard on duty in the school palace, and the martial arts training is also served by the black iron guards, but it will not officially start until Shenshi, and it is still everyone's free time at this time.
The teenagers who went home for dinner also returned one after another, Ma Tie, the son of Ma Teng, Tian Yong, the son of Tian Chou, Zang Ai, the son of Zang Ba, Cao Hu, the son of Cao Xing, Liu Xiong, the son of Liu Pi, Zhen Yancong's nephew Zhen Yi, and Gao Li's grandson Gao Quan, all gathered together in groups according to age.
The martial arts arena is very wide, so that the bow can shoot grass targets, and the rest begin to catch and compete among their peers, and more than ten black iron guards roam the field to prevent accidents.
In the palace school, there is also a woman who has to be hired to wash the pulp, and you can pay for it, but the shoes and socks are not in this, and the winner needs to clean these two things for the loser, so everyone is very serious.
When he used to live in General Wei's mansion, Deng Shi rarely had the opportunity to fight with his peers to perform martial arts, even if he was a few times, the other party had already been reminded by his parents and was restrained.
This time is also Deng She's favorite time, and his forehead was injured by the other party during the competition the day before yesterday.
When it was his turn to play, Deng Shi was overjoyed, but he was faintly reluctant to βββ the rules of the palace, every year of spring sowing and autumn harvest, there will be a two-month holiday, and the first holiday since entering school is about to arrive, and such a happy day has to be temporarily separated for two months.
