On the tip of the moon, the bamboo room in the west chamber.

The room where the seven little boys lived was quiet, a pine oil lamp was placed on the only small desk in the room, swaying with a dim red light, Liu Nanfei held the "Book of Songs" and read hard, while Bai Meiqi and other roommates were sitting cross-legged on their respective beds, practicing the meditation taught by Teacher Zhou in the morning.

"Yo! haha...... It's a first-year freshman, all of them are working so hard, what a naïve idea!" A mocking voice broke the beautiful calm of the night. Not only is Bai Meiqi's bamboo-shaped dormitory so quiet, but the other dormitories are also like this, and the little boys are all practicing and forgetting to cultivate their spirits.

"Who?" Bai Meiqi heard several voices around him and asked at the same time, he opened his eyes and saw that his roommates had opened their eyes one by one, and several of them were still looking out of the door, and the voice that spoke just now was also a boy.

"Not with us, that guy should be in another dorm, I'll take a look. A skinny boy walked outside. The boy's name was Gao Youcai, and he was the tallest boy in their dormitory.

The silence had broken in the bamboo room, a few little boys whispered, and a few crowded to the door to look outside. Bai Meiqi was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, he found that Liu Nanfei was not affected at all, he was still reading the sage books hard, and he really didn't hear what was going on outside the window! Seeing this, he secretly felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly closed his eyes, gathered his mind, and meditated on cultivation.

After a while, I heard Gao Youcai's voice coming in from outside the door, and he was exchanging names with the child who was laughing at the new student just now, when he heard the child say: "Just call me a monkey, I'm in the third grade, and everyone who knows me is called that." The kung fu of speaking has been invited into the bamboo room of the West Chamber.

Gao Youcai invited the monkey to sit on his bed, and the other four little boys also approached, although they didn't squeeze together, they all looked at the third-grade senior, except Bai Meiqi and Liu Nanfei.

"Monkey, what are you doing at night in the third grade? don't you practice sitting and forgetting to cultivate your mind?" Gao Youcai asked as he looked sideways at the monkey. He sat side by side with the monkey, as if the two of them knew each other very well.

The monkey glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Is it useful? Didn't your head teacher tell you? I don't know that the entire academy can produce a god every year and burn high incense?"

Gao Youcai scratched his head and said, "Knowing is knowing, then ...... Isn't that even more impossible......? It's a lot of fun, too. ”

The monkey grinned and said, "Actually, it was the same when I first came, and you won't be interested in it in a few days." As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and swiped it in the air at the boys in front of him, and said, "Say, when you were cultivating just now, didn't you think about whether you could become a god descendant at all?

Gao Youcai and a few little boys all froze, thought about it and nodded in agreement, in the end, they are all seven or eight-year-old children, how can they think about it so much? Those who can recognize their life goals and know what they need from an early age are not ordinary children, and they are all pillars of talent in the future!

"Yo! look at this, is he still meditating and cultivating?" the monkey said in a weird manner after noticing Bai Meiqi, then stood up and walked to Bai Meiqi's side, stretched out a hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's useless, listen to my brother's advice, we don't have such a good life!"

Bai Meiqi didn't speak, just opened his eyes and looked at the monkey, a pair of Danfeng eyes were shining, the monkey looked at his eyes, feeling that the divine light was compelling, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression, unable to look at him.

The monkey hurriedly avoided Bai Meiqi's eyes, and turned his head to see Liu Nanfei who was reading in front of the desk in the wall at the door, and he screamed "yo" again, naturally avoiding a trace of embarrassment with Bai Meiqi, and said while walking towards Liu Nanfei: "There are so many monsters in your dormitory! It's the first time I've seen someone study without cultivating on the first night, and they're so attentive to reading! But you're better than this guy, and you know that it's impossible to become a godborn." ”

Gao Youcai pulled the monkey who passed by, sat on his bed, and said, "Monkey, you don't have to worry about them, don't you third-year students don't practice or study at night?"

The monkey blinked his eyes and said with some weakness, "That, of course!"

Gao Youcai put his arm around the monkey's shoulders and said kindly: "Then Brother Monkey, what are you all doing at night? You can't go to bed early, can you?" or ...... Hanging around like you?"

"Hey, who's hanging around? I'm here for a big deal, isn't it delayed by you?"

"Ah, big deal, what's the big deal?" Gao Youcai said with a somewhat exaggerated expression. The other four boys who were gathering around to join in the fun also chimed in.

The monkey grinned and said, "Brother is here to make a fortune for you new students." ”

When the four children gathered here heard this, their enthusiasm just now suddenly decreased a lot, how much interest can ordinary children have in such a thing as making a fortune? Food and clothing are given by their parents, and they have no concept of money? Unless a child like Bai Meiqi grew up in a commoner family among civilians. Gao Youcai casually asked, "What kind of wealth did you make?"

Although Bai Meiqi was meditating quietly on the side, looking detached, where could he achieve the word "sit and forget"? Monkeys, their every word and every word drilled into his ears, although he tried not to disturb his mind, but when the word "fortune" floated into his ears, his previous efforts were nullified, and he couldn't help but pay attention.

"Do you know that you can earn a copper coin a day?" said the monkey.

"I've heard of it, but I'm not interested. Gao Youcai said and looked at the four roommates beside him and raised his head slightly, "Hey, are you willing?"

One of the children who knew shook his head, and one of the people who didn't know asked what the meaning of "scholar in the courtyard" meant? The monkey was just about to say a few kind words, but Gao Youcai rushed to the side and said: "It's a scholar! You are so stupid!"

The monkey hurriedly touched Gao Youcai with his elbow and argued, "What kind of person! Don't talk nonsense......! It is...... It's to help people get things, run errands or something, and you can have a copper coin a day, and you can buy two strings of sugar gourds!" the monkey couldn't help but swallow after speaking. A string of five small dollars of rock sugar gourd is a high-end snack and a favorite of children.

A few little children couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly when they heard the "sugar gourd", and Gao Youcai said: "But I've heard others say that they are very tired, and they have to ...... to cook, fetch water, and wash clothes for others."

"Alright!" the monkey stood up at once, glared at Gao Youcai, and then turned his head to look at the children beside him and said, "I'll tell you the truth, not only to serve the gold lord well during the rest time, but also to wrap up all the gold lord's sanitary areas." After speaking, he glared at Gao Youcai and said, "Do you think two sugar gourds a day are so easy to eat?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the four children and said: "I can tell you, there are more people who want to be scholars in the courtyard, and there are few gold masters, and it is not uncommon for you to be unwilling to do it!"

Gao Youcai pulled the monkey's arm and said, "Brother Monkey, don't worry, they didn't say they didn't want to be a scholar for you!"

"I do, but I don't want rock sugar gourds!"

"Of course it's money!" When the monkey heard this, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound with a smile, but saw Bai Meiqi, who was sitting and forgetting to cultivate, still sitting motionless on the bed. The monkey couldn't help but look surprised, and turned back to look at the child next to him and wondered, "Which of you said yes just now?"

Gao Youcai and the four children were all big-eyed and small-eyed, and muttered suspiciously, "No!"

"It's Bai Meiqi!" Gao Youcai said and looked at Bai Meiqi.

"It's me. Bai Meiqi opened his phoenix eyes, which were like torches, and got up and walked towards the monkeys.

The monkey grinned, patted the back of his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be you, this kid, who was still pretending to be there just now...... Okay, forget it! The one who comes is the guest, and my brother monkey doesn't remember the villain!"

Bai Meiqi really couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this, obviously he was also a child, but he pretended to be an adult, and he wondered when he offended him? Could it be because he didn't pay attention to him just now, but it was obviously him who came to disturb himself to do his homework of sitting and forgetting to cultivate his mind!

"That's it!" The monkey looked at Bai Meiqi who came closer, showing a businessman's face, and hugged Gao Youcai's shoulder with one hand to look very affectionate, and said to Bai Meiqi: "For the sake of you being a roommate of Brother Gao, I will charge you ten copper coins!"

"What? I'll give you ten copper coins?" Bai Meiqi looked surprised and looked at the monkey in front of him in disbelief. With the dim red lights of the bamboo room in the west chamber and the unclear night outside, Bai Meiqi found that this "monkey brother" had a sharp and thin chin and a pair of smart big eyes, but he did look a little like a monkey.
