Several people went out together, returned to the previous crossroads, and continued to walk east, Shang Mingyi and Shang Mingfang were led into the fork by Steward Wu and Steward Wang

Shang Mingyi threw his hand at the two of them: "Big brother and second brother, it seems that my fourth brother and I won't be on the same road with you first."

Shang Mingyang returned the salute to the third brother, Shang Mingchang and Shang Mingfang also greeted each other on the side, and the two teams left separately

The two were silent all the way, and Shang Mingyang counted the stone road underground, and suddenly heard something in his ear

"Eldest brother's knowledge has improved by leaps and bounds."

Shang Mingyang came back to his senses after a while, just smiled

"The second brother has always been so stable."

Steward Qian listened to the two brothers sneering at each other, looked as usual, looked at his feet, and arrived at the "ground" character class dormitory, pointed to the first courtyard on the left and said with a smile: "This is the "ground" character class dormitory where the newly enrolled students live, because the academy has a limited space, so the two people live in the same room, and the two students' scholars will take them to the next room to rest at night."

His eyes stayed on Shang Mingyang's face for a moment, and he continued to say softly to the two, "The two students will live in the second room, you can rest for a while, and the villain will come back to you in detail" After the money manager finished speaking, he left without being humble or arrogant

Shang Mingyang and Shang Mingchang opened the door and walked in, although the room is not large, but the layout is simple and clean, there is a screen in the middle, there is a bed, desk and cabinet on the left and right sides against the wall, Shang Mingyang is a little relieved, fortunately there is not a place to sleep and there is a screen to block, this environment is very good for her, exactly the same layout, the two of them chose the position at random, Shang Mingyang is on the right, Shang Mingchang is on the left, that is, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to take a bath in the future...

Shang Mingchang's scholar Songbai has already begun to clean up, Erxi hasn't come back yet, her things are all on Erxi's back, Shang Mingyang can only wait dryly, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for Erxi to come, Shang Mingyang asked: "Why is it so long?"

Erxi said pitifully: "The villain has returned to Mr. Li, you have already left, fortunately I met the money manager who is going back, otherwise I don't know how long I will have to look for it."

Shang Mingyang's expression is calm, Erxi is only twelve years old this year, not tall, half a head shorter than her, usually old-fashioned, today is also a rare conversation: "Thank you Xiao Erxi, you give me my little gray burden, where can you sit and rest" Shang Mingyang pointed to the chair next to the desk on the right after speaking

Erxi looked at Songbai's busy appearance and was a little embarrassed, and after taking off the small burden and handing it to Shang Mingyang: "Don't get in the way, son, I'll clean up the house" After speaking, Baba ran to clean up, Shang Mingyang looked at Erxi's back and shook his head with a smile, what an honest child, after looking around for a week, she took out the dark blue bed curtain in the baggage, and put the baggage in the cabinet again...

After a while, Steward Qian really came as scheduled, Erxi and Songbai continued to clean and tidy up, and Shang Mingyang and Shang Mingchang followed Steward Qian out to familiarize themselves with the academy

Steward Qian pointed to the front and said: "Which is the school of the first-level "earth" character class, our academy has opened a total of seven courses, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics, four books and five classics, there are currently more than 30 gentlemen."

Shang Mingchang asked: "Money manager, do you take these seven subjects in the annual assessment?" ”

Steward Qian explained as he walked: "It is these seven subjects, and the academy has also encountered some situations where the rankings of the two classes of "Di" and "Xuan" are not high, but the results of the imperial examination are not worse than those of the "Tian" class."

"I see" Shang Mingyang nodded to show that he understood, most of the poor children do not know the six arts of the gentleman, and the main examination of the imperial examination is eight articles, and the six arts of the gentleman are not within the scope of the imperial examination, so it is normal to think that there is such a situation

Shang Mingyang called the hot iron, and hurriedly asked: "What if it is convenient for us to wash?" ”

Steward Qian smiled: "You can let the scholar come to the steward's room to get the bath bucket later, if you want to wash in advance, instruct the firewood room to boil water in advance, there is a small stream in the back mountain, and there are many students who go to take a bath in the cold summer, and the two thatched houses at the gate of the compound of the "ground" class can be solved if you go to the toilet."

"Our academy starts classes every day, when there are monks in the Buddha Temple, there will be monks ring the bell, after a moment will ring the second time, if you have not arrived at the school as late, at noon class where can you go to the canteen to eat and rest, the two students remember and can not fight with others, continue to attend classes at a moment, eat and rest after class, turn off the lights and sleep peacefully when you are in class"

The three of them walked around and returned to the freshman dormitory of the "ground" character class, and the money steward said goodbye to the two of them: "If the two students have anything to do in the future, or want to receive something, they can send someone to the steward's room to find them, and if there is nothing to do, they will leave first."

After saying that, the money steward took Songbai and Erxi down, Shang Mingyang and Shang Mingchang looked at each other without saying a word, and walked towards their bedside by themselves, Shang Mingyang looked at the neat pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the upper right corner of the case, and the upper left corner put the books sent by the money shopkeeper before, and briefly flipped through the more than ten books of "Analects", "Mencius", "University", "Zhongyong", "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Six Music Collections", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"...

The bed on the side has also been laid, before going out, Wei specially looked for the Pingzhou County cotton wool that Mama Zhou played for him, saying that it was the most cold cotton wool in Fan Yang, she sat on it and tried it, touched it with her hand, it was really thick and soft, and the bed curtain was also erected, and after putting the curtain down, it was confirmed that Shang Mingyang could not see it inside before he put his mind at ease, quietly walked to the side and opened the cabinet, the clothes were neatly folded, and the gray small burden was still in the innermost and had not been opened.

I was probably really tired today, and after fetching water and washing, Shang Mingyang didn't eat, so he got into the futon
