Chapter 203: Ten Mile Slope
Changming struggled a lot, but decided to come down and eat outside.
It's rare to come to Licheng once, but you have to figure out the special snacks in the city. Forget about the big dishes, there is no money to buy them. Snacks can still be eaten.
The two gave a total of half a month's accommodation money. To save, two people sleep in one bed. Changming's sleeping position is good, what position to sleep in at night, and what position to wake up in the morning. Yuan Bao sleeps insecurely and likes to curl himself up. When I woke up in the morning, I automatically leaned into Changming's arms.
Changming felt happy in his heart, but said on his lips.
"You don't sleep well, I haven't slept well. Be honest in the future. ”
Yuan Bao agreed casually, and went to bed at night, leaning against the wall. The face is also facing the wall. Changming was so angry that he pouted and couldn't sleep. When the ingots fell asleep, he forcibly turned the ingots' head back, and when the ingots leaned into his arms, he closed his eyes and slept with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It took the two more than ten days to get through the streets and alleys of Licheng. Specialty snacks are all tasted one by one.
The flesh on Changming's face pouted.
The ingots seem to have grown a little taller.
When the room expired, the two did not renew the contract, and quit the house and went to Qingcheng Academy in Shilipo on the outskirts to have a look.
Shilipo, as the name suggests, is a small hill ten miles away from Licheng.
Qingcheng Academy is on the top of the mountain, the academy covers an area of 100 acres, in addition to the Mongolian school class and the Xiucai class. There is a small market at the foot of the mountain, and many farmers from the surrounding area come here to set up stalls, and a small town is slowly formed.
Because it is a spontaneous act, the scale is the size of a small town, but it does not have a name, everyone calls it a small market.
Next to the academy, the housing prices here are particularly high. After all, it's a school district house. Just renting, a small courtyard costs five taels of silver a month.
Tut-tut!
You must know that Changming's small courtyard in the town is only five or six taels of silver a year when rented out. Here you have to pay five taels of silver a month. You have to be lucky to find an empty house.
The time when the two of them went to the market coincided with the end of school, and the students of the academy went down the mountain to go shopping or return home.
Thirty old Ming Jing fifty young jinshi.
At the age of fifty, he is considered young and promising. Many of the talents here have already started families. My wife or family moved in to take care of them.
There are quite a few people who have returned home to read.
The small stall at the foot of the mountain became lively because the scholars got out of class.
The ingots are watched with relish.
It's a bit like the scene of a college campus when classes are out and the snacks around are bustling. Some little nostalgia!
Changming looked at Yuan Bao with long eyes, and his eyes were shining, looking at the people who came and went. I was a little unhappy in my heart. Pulling the rest of the ingots, he said aggrievedly.
"Tomorrow we'll take the letter and see if we can go to school. If I can go to school, I'll study. ”
Changming clenched his fists.
The eyes of his daughter-in-law can only look at herself!
Hearing this, Yuan Bao nodded with a smile.
When I arrived at the inn, the price of the inn here was about the same as that in Licheng. The suburbs are all at this price, which is really expensive!
After giving three days of money, the two still lived in the same room.
Changming lay on the bed, feeling a little apprehensive.
"Do you think the gentleman won't accept me?"
Yuan Bao encouraged.
"Come on! If we don't take you, we'll throw money into it. I heard that if you give 100 taels, you can go to school. ”
Changming: ......
In order not to spend a hundred taels of unjust money, I must also work hard to get the master to accept him!
Yuan Bao bought some fruits and pastries and carried them, and brought a letter of recommendation to send Changming outside the college. Although it is a small hill, carrying these things, Changming's burden is a bit heavy. The hand is numb, the master tests the writing, and Changming has to play well.
If it weren't for the fact that the academy couldn't let women in, Yuanbao wanted to send them to the academy to see the master together.
