Nanshan Academy sits at the foot of the mountain in the southeast of the capital, with the long alley of East Street full of flowers in front, and the green mountains and green waters in the back, and the glow of the mountain wall. This geographical location is superior, even Tang Yao can't bear to admire.

In addition, the academy is built next to the mountain, and the pavilions and buildings are all under the shade of green ancient trees. The vermilion gate was open, and the corridor was twisting and turning. Perhaps because of the rendering of the ancient books of the sages, even the entire academy is a quiet and elegant charm.

Because the women of the academy were not allowed to enter, Lan Xiang was left outside the courtyard by Tang Yao to wait.

Song Qingshu led Tang Yao into the gate, and the main hall was quietly located in front of him, and the plaques on both sides of the eaves were written with the words 'benevolence and wisdom', 'cultivate their bodies first'. As soon as the two of them stopped in the hall, a middle-aged man dressed in gray hurriedly walked up.

Seeing Song Qingshu and Tang Yao, the man raised his hand and said, "Are you two here to study?" Report your name first. ”

"Student Song Qingshu."

"Student Tang Ziyao."

Probably seeing Tang Yao's polite appearance, the man also had a gentle attitude, "The old man is just Sun Zhiwen, the steward of the academy, the two of you come to study in the academy, you must have heard that Nanshan Academy needs to tattoo fifty taels of silver for admission, and I have to propose a poem and an article, and only those who pass can be enrolled, I don't know if the two of you can be ready?" ”

What the? This academy also needs to tattoo fifty taels of silver, compose a poem, and write an article?

I'm afraid it's a black academy, Tang Yao has never seen such a pit academy since ancient times, just because this is a academy directly under the royal family, so the tuition fee is so expensive? Isn't that the child of a poor man who can't afford to go to such a academy at all?

As if he had been prepared, Song Qingshu took out a neatly folded letter from his arms, and he respectfully handed it to Sun Zhiwen's hand, and said, "The student is Song Qingshu from Jiangcheng County, Dingyuan, this time it was recommended by Teacher Yang Ming, this is a letter of recommendation, please Mr. Sun take a look." ”

Hearing about Dingyuan Jiangcheng County, Sun Zhiwen's old face was surprised for a moment, and then he took the letter of recommendation and read it at a glance.

Then he bowed slightly, put away the letter, and said to Tang Yao and the others, "Sure enough, it was recommended by Teacher Yang Ming, so you two can come with the old man." ”

Tang Yao and Song Qingshu were overjoyed, and said one after another, "Thank you, Mr. Sun." ”

The periphery of Nanshan Academy is quiet and elegant, but I didn't expect the same in the courtyard. The gentle wind blows, the air is fresh, and there are rockeries and flowing water, this is really a good academy, worthy of being a place where fifty taels of silver are enrolled.

The center of the academy is centered on the lecture hall, the central axis is symmetrical, the layout is rigorous, and the corresponding buildings include the study building, the ancestral hall, the garden, the house and other places. The building of the gray brick and red tile house is indeed simple and generous, and there is no lack of seriousness. As the name suggests, the library building is a library pavilion, and the ancestral hall is a place to worship the ancestors and sages of Qiyun Kingdom.

However, all students who study at Nanshan College will have a separate residential courtyard. So I have to say that this is indeed a noble academy.

After Sun Zhiwen briefly introduced the academy, Tang Yao also probably understood the situation here.

Sun Zhiwen raised his hand and pointed to two simple houses not far away, "You two will live there first, tomorrow the old man will be waiting for you two at the door of the lecture hall, as for the things you usually need, the old man has sent someone to send them to your house, don't be late." ”

Suddenly thinking of something again, Tang Yao stepped forward and said to Sun Zhiwen again, "The student has something to ask Mr. Sun." ”

Sun Zhiwen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Yao said slowly, "The student's parents died early when he was a child, and only a younger sister was left with the student. Now it is a blessing for students to be able to enter Nanshan, but my sister came to the capital with the students, she was alone, and the students were very uneasy, so I implore Mr. Sun to agree, so that the sister can also live in the courtyard, I don't know if it is possible? ”

Sun Zhiwen was about to refuse when he opened his mouth directly, "The academy is a holy place for studying, how can you.... Let the woman...."Before he finished speaking, Tang Yao had already taken out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and handed it over, "I also hope that Mr. Sun will be accommodating." ”

When Sun Zhiwen saw the amount of money on the silver ticket, he was stunned, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back by him.

He took Tang Yao's silver ticket, first squinted his eyes, and then pretended to say, "Ahem... There has never been such a precedent in this college, and the old man saw that you were so affectionate with your relatives, so he made an exception and allowed it. ”

The corners of Tang Yao's lips hooked, and then she bowed politely, "Thank you Mr. Sun for your understanding." ”

Sun Zhiwen pointed to a single room not far away and said to Sun Zhiwen, "Your house is there." Then he led Tang Yao to another residence.

"This place is for you two brothers and sisters, so it is also convenient to live."

Tang Yao followed Sun Zhiwen's pointing, there was a willow tree hanging outside the door of the house, and there happened to be a round stone table and stone chair under the tree.

Although the House is not large, it has four bedrooms, an outer room, two bedrooms and a kitchen.

It doesn't look like a house for students to live in, but like an ordinary house. However, such a place is also suitable for studying. It's a pity that such a house is simple compared to her modern house. After leaving Nanshan Academy in the future, I will change it again.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Thank you and thank you, Tang Yao didn't feel troublesome at all, after all, it was the best to offend people less when she was a newcomer

Seeing her humble attitude and thoughtful manners, Sun Zhiwen couldn't help but add a touch of goodwill to Tang Ziyao, who had just arrived to report, and then he nodded, "Well, you should rest early." Don't be late tomorrow. ”

"Mr. Sun, walk slowly." It wasn't until Sun Zhiwen was sent away that Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She knows in her heart that being treated like this is inseparable from her silver ticket, but for her, who often deals with people, such a sleek way of doing things is necessary.

After bringing Lan Xiang in, Tang Yao could be regarded as arranging herself. The two of them hastily took care of this small and small house, and it was already dark. Tang Yao and the others ate some dry food casually, and she lay on the bed.

Tang Yao propped his head and looked at the wooden roof in a daze, God knows how tormenting it would be this day. This step is considered to have arranged oneself, and if there is anything in the future, you can only take one step at a time. And with the culture of her belly before her death, I don't know how long she can go in such a time and space.

.... I don't want to.

Although Lan Xiang didn't know why her young lady pretended to be a woman to enter the academy, she thought that she had her own plans. Seeing that Tang Yao was so tired that she fell asleep, she carefully covered the futon for Tang Yao, and then quietly retreated.
