Chapter 60: Students

Miss Xie nodded kindly, without the usual delicate temper of Miss Beijing.

She has really never been a picky person, especially what Miss Xie hasn't experienced in her previous life? Where does it matter if the house is smaller?

Besides, since she was a child, her parents prepared the best for her, and now, the family has also sent all the things she uses daily to the Panlong River, so there is no difference.

Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the red heart had already taken out two strings of money and a piece of broken silver of about two or three taels, handed it over and said with a smile:

"The enrollment of the school palace is a big deal, and our young lady is naturally reasonable. Don't say that there are two rooms to settle in, that is, the students are full, and there is no house for us, so they should also be divided. We'll only stay one night and we'll be on our way tomorrow, so adults don't have to worry. As for the money for our lady's room and board, these two strings of money are for the tea of the adults at the post station. ”

When Yi Cheng saw the silver, his eyes immediately lit up, and he felt that this eldest lady was really like Xie Hou Ye, and she had an excellent personality - Xie Hou Ye had also lived in his post station before, and that was also a very hearty and rewarding character.

It's just that he didn't dare to take it immediately, but smiled: "Where can I use so much?" The eldest lady and his party, with forage, one or two are enough. ”

Red Hearts stuffed the money into his hand: "We rarely go out of Beijing, and we don't know what is too much or less, the adults just look at the purchase, but we have been on the road for a long time, and we are hungry, can the adults take me to the kitchen?" See what's there to eat? ”

"Naturally," Yi Cheng took the silver with peace of mind, "The eldest lady is resting, and Xia Guan and this eldest sister will go to the kitchen to prepare food." ”

……

After the two left, Bi Tao poured tea for Xie Xiaoyu first, and she began to make the bed and the clothes that Xie Xiaoyu would wear tomorrow.

Miss Xie, who was bored, sat by the window, and as soon as she opened the window, she noticed that it was raining outside.

The rain is not heavy, but it is fine and urgent, enveloping the heaven and the earth, quite meaningful.

It's another autumn rain, Xie Xiaoyu looked outside, and sighed in his heart.

There is a courtyard in front of the post station, half of which is set up with tables and chairs, and its top is very thick, even if it rains, it will not leak, and many students are talking, composing poems, and discussing the Tao in it.

Xie Xiaoyu's ears are easy to use, so when he entered the post station just now, he heard those people's discussions.

For example, a craftsman who does not know a big character but has a unique skill, and his head is full of mud when he listens to the students' discussions, and most of the time he can only give up the pergola in shame, surround the corner of the yard, and watch the students argue with envy.

They also don't understand what these scholars are fighting about, and what they can't understand anyway is an elegant reading thing for them.

If I can enter the school palace in the future, I will be ...... with these people What's that called? Classmate? Or a bed? It's the same person anyway.

And the readers who read poetry and books are very fond of arguing, and the most targeted during this period are Confucian students - after all, Confucian students can't enter the school palace, there is still a way to take the imperial examination - and other people who respect the law, Taoism, ink, miscellaneous and other families, the only way to enter the body with the knowledge of their own school is to think diligently about the palace, so they are holding back their minds and want to suppress Confucian students in words.

Xie Xiaoyu heard the inside of the house from outside the house, and felt that what these people said was a little interesting, so he wanted to open the window at this time and listen to it for a while.

But it rained.

In the pergola, some students were elated by the rain, but Bi Tao, who was cleaning up the bed, turned around, looked outside with a frown, and muttered in a low voice:

"Why is it raining again?"

After all, the people who came back from the south bank of the Panlong River had seen how the monstrous flood raged, and how terrible the endless rain was.

Xie Xiaoyu looked at the students who had dispersed in twos and threes, sat by the window with some regret, looked back at Bi Tao, and said in his heart:

It will stop, it will stop tomorrow, the autumn rain is still beautiful.

Bi Tao glanced at her, pursed her lips, and still said with interest: "Then I don't like it either." ”

It's just that seeing that Xie Xiaoyu's expression was not very pleasant, he thought for a while and asked, "Those people really speak well?" The eldest lady likes to listen to it. ”

Xie Xiaoyu picked up the teacup and drank half a cup while nodding.

Bi Tao thought about the words she had just heard, and as soon as those words came to her mind, she shook her head and shook them off:

"The slave can't listen to this thing that drops the bookbag."

This year's students have some ability, and Your Majesty has new talents. Xie Xiaoyu rarely talks about sex, and he said so in his heart.

"The young lady said that they were good at learning, that is, it was really good." Bi Tao has always thought that her own lady is the most powerful.

Xie Xiaoyu's gaze shifted to those students again.

The rain would not stop for a while, and there were only five students and two scholars left under the pergola.

Among the students, two were older, about thirty years old, and had grown decent beards; Two of them were in their early twenties, and one of them still had Western eyes on his face, thinking that although he was not very old, his eyes were very poor; The other one was not as old as the crown, but he looked nearly twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a little cinnabar mole at the corner of his eyes, sitting there listening to the older one, and he didn't know what he said, the young man sneered, his face was slightly red, and he looked like a big girl.

Several people joked for a while, and suddenly one of them did not wear glasses and wore a dark green straight jacket: "It's rare that this autumn rain is extremely beautiful, why don't we join the sentence." ”

"Wonderful!" Another elder who was sipping tea high-fived and said, "This way lives up to this beautiful scenery." ”

"Come, come, come! If it's a couplet, I can do without this Rausch. The man with the glasses took off his glasses as he spoke, and the scholar who was serving in the back immediately took them and carefully put them away.

The youngest boy had already gotten up, and said to the errand who was standing with his arms crossed in the doorway:

"Poor master, please prepare pen and ink."

The errand officer did not dare to slack off, and after a short time he took pen and ink.

After everyone laid it out, the old man who had just told the joke took the lead in taking the pen and said with a smile: "I am not clever enough to rank the virtuous brothers, so I will start the sentences, and then copy the wonderful sentences of the virtuous brothers, what is it?" ”

"Yay! Brother Meng has a good hand, but he is only afraid that the poems will insult Brother Meng's pen and ink. ”

"Where the words! Brother He is brilliant in his thinking, and he can't compare with my generation. ”

"How dare you, it still depends on the three of them young people, how can we compare with the old and the decrepit? The afterlife is terrifying! ”

"The two juniors can torment the juniors."

"It's overrated."

"I still have to ask my senior brother for advice."

The people in the courtyard were touting each other, and on the second floor, Bi Tao, who had finished tidying up, heard that there was a couplet, but he was interested, and he was already standing beside Xie Xiaoyu to listen, but he didn't hear the poem, but he heard a lot of sour words from several readers, and suddenly became impatient, and pouted:

"Really, can't you connect the sentences? So much nonsense. ”
