Ten days later.

The entrance ceremony of the Blue Sky Pavilion.

The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent people to send 100,000 taels of congratulatory silver, as well as various silk and satin jewelry and jade, the total value of which is probably no less than one million taels.

The ministers are a little slanderous, isn't this taking the people's fat and the people's ointment to do favors. But the emperor himself knew that these gifts were all tributed to the Great Song Dynasty by various countries, and it was useless to pile them up in the treasury anyway, so it was better to use them to sell Qingtian Pavilion for cash, repair and repair student classrooms and dormitories, or something.

Wudang Mountain, Shaolin Temple, Tianlong Temple, Caolu, and other sects have congratulatory gifts. People say that every entrance ceremony is the day when Qingtian Pavilion has a wide range of financial resources. Some people say that the income from one entrance ceremony is enough for the expenses of Qingtian Pavilion, the first academy in the world, for ten years. However, this statement has not been officially confirmed by the Qingtian Pavilion so far. Anyway, every time the entrance ceremony is held, many former students move congratulatory gifts and have a sore back.

In general, the students of Qingtian Pavilion are divided into two groups, non-monastic students and assomon students.

The Six Arts of Gentleman are compulsory subjects for all students, and students of the Institute are required to receive an exclusive education from the Academy.

This year, the monastery has taken in more than 1,000 students. Among the more than 1,000 people, including Chen Letian and Sun Zishu, who is now in the grass house.

The entrance banquet of the monastery was held separately at the foot of the back mountain. Today, at the foot of the mountain, there was a lot of people, and a hundred tables were lined up one after another, and on the top table, sat the dean and the twelve great masters of the monastery.

Next to the next table are the chief teachers of each subject of the six arts.

After that, there were the twelve apprentices of the dean, and Wang Qinghong sat first.

When everyone was seated, the dean stood up. This person, who was called Master by all the students, was wearing a special Qingtian Pavilion Academy dean clothes today, with golden strokes, ink, paper, and inkstones embroidered on the silk on a red background. He wears a high crown on his head and gray green jade boots on his feet. Although he is in his old age, the dean's complexion is still very good, without the slightest twilight, and some are just Confucian and saint-like elegance.

After looking around at all beings, the Master spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy that there are so many young people here today. You are all students who have been screened through multiple layers, and I am confident that you will be able to maintain a positive attitude and a never-say-die spirit in the days to come. I want you to understand one thing, you are my students of Qingtian Pavilion, but also the students of the Great Song Dynasty, and the students of the people of the world, when you go out from here, I hope you will always remember that people, born as human beings, must always do something meaningful!"

All the students stood up and applauded sincerely, and the applause lasted for a long time.

The master raised his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile: "In the future, anyone who has difficulties and can't figure out things can come to me, or find Sect Master Liu and them." Here, in Qingtian Pavilion, we are a family. Okay, let's eat. ”

Another long round of applause.

Chen Letian was pulled by Yang Yueshan to sit together. Chen Letian was very unhappy when he saw Yang Yueshan, but Yang Yueshan always pestered him, and Yang Yueshan sincerely apologized to him. Besides, that day, Yang Yueshan had already tried his best to stop it. If it weren't for Yang Yueshan, I'm afraid he Chen Letian would also be in Liangguo Caolu at this moment.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, but you don't have to worry, I guarantee that Zishu will be fine, and he will be able to come back in three years at most. Yang Yueshan poured Chen Letian a glass of water.

There is no wine on the table, and there is no wine at the entrance banquet for new students, which is a tradition and a symbol. It is intended to warn students to know how to be self-disciplined and learn to control their desires.

"I'm not worried, you don't have to comfort me anymore, I think you're annoying. Chen Letian drank the water in the cup in one gulp, as bold as drinking. He has to listen to Yang Yueshan say 'I'm sorry' and 'don't worry' once a day, it's really annoying.

"Brother Chen, from tomorrow onwards, how about I teach you how to draw talismans?" Yang Yueshan suddenly thought of a good way to compensate Chen Letian.

"Brother Yang, please don't mention the matter of Daomen to me in the future, do you know what my dream is now?

Yang Yueshan smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chen will eat more food, and I'll go get a pot of hot tea." ”

The entrance banquet lasted until the afternoon. There was a banquet at the entrance ceremony, and another banquet at the monastery. The Dean, the Grand Master, and the Chief Instructors were all a little tired from eating two banquets in a row.

After the feast, the students have to clean the venue, wash the pots and dishes. Chen Letian and Yang Yueshan are no exception.

Chen Letian was walking with a table on his shoulder, and someone patted him on the shoulder. As soon as he looked up, it was Wang Qinghong and asked, "Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Qinghong said: "Master An is looking for you, come with me." ”

Chen Letian put down the table and followed Wang Qinghong to the residence of the Grand Master.

Grand Master Anxi was in his study, and when he saw Chen Letian and Wang Qinghong arriving, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

Chen Letian waited for Wang Qinghong to sit down first, and then sat down himself.

An Xi said: "Today I received a letter from Xuanyuan Huayu in Caolu, Xuanyuan Heavenly Master said that Sun Tzu's book has excellent roots and bones, and it is the most suitable for cultivation, and I hope that our academy will not waste such a talent for personal gain." The letter was quite polite. ”

Chen Letian wanted to say 'fart', but he held back, stood up and arched his hand: "Master An, Caolu can't be compared with our academy no matter what, and now, they have arrested our registered students, shouldn't we ask for Sun Tzushu back?"

An Xi smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. But Xuanyuan Huayu made it clear that they would not give it to the people, and we old guys were not allowed to take action, saying that it was a matter for young people and young people to solve it by themselves. ”

Chen Letian immediately said: "Okay, Senior Brother Wang, they are the most powerful among the young people, they can go to the grass house to save people." ”

An Xi said: "Xuanyuan Huayu also said that the world says that the Great Song Academy is the best in the world, so please ask Master An to show his strength, and the old students will not need it, just train some people from the newly accepted batch of students, and come to my grass house to try the knife." ”

"......" Chen Letian clenched his fists and sighed: "Why do you have to listen to him?"

An Xi turned his head to look at Wang Qinghong, who immediately stood up and said, "Because our academy is recognized as the first in the world, to take on this name, we must have this courage." ”

Chen Letian lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay! I want to ask Master An for something." ”

An Xi nodded.

Chen Letian arched his hand and said: "Please send a letter back to Caolu, let them treat Sun Zishu better, if Sun Zishu is abused, I will burn his Xuanyuan Huayu's beard!"

An Xi laughed, looking at Chen Letian's appearance, there was no sense of joking. He suddenly remembered the scene when he was young, killing chickens and dogs jumping in the grass hut alone. In the year before that day, he was just an ordinary farmer. "Okay, I'll write down your words and send them to him, do you need to mention your name?"

Chen Letian nodded: "I have to mention it, just say that I said it, and say so: If you are not convinced, you can come to the academy to find Chen Letian, Grandmaster An will definitely beat you crying dad and calling mother." That's it. ”

An Xi couldn't help laughing, and even Wang Qinghong couldn't control his laughter.

A month later, Xuanyuan Huayu of the grass house received this letter, and he was full of curiosity about Chen Letian, who almost caught the grass house.

Each student in the monastery has a dormitory, either in a group, in a room for three or four people, or individually, according to the student's own preferences, free to choose.

Chen Letian originally wanted to choose a house with many people, because he was used to living with many people in the army, but he was forcibly dragged by Yang Yueshan to live with him.

After packing up the bedding and other daily utensils, Chen Letian threw off the annoying Yang Yueshan and walked out of Qingtian Pavilion. I bought more than a dozen catties of meat from the market and came to Liyu Village in the western suburbs. Liyu Village is inhabited by fishermen who make a living from fishing. Although the people who live here are not rich compared to the people in the inner city, after all, they are registered in the capital, and compared to the people in other places, Liyu Village can still be regarded as very stable and happy.

Chen Letian came to the door of the house, in broad daylight, of course, the door was open, and he walked straight in.

In the courtyard, two middle-aged men and a girl are pickling salted fish, preparing some of them to eat for the winter and some of them to sell.

"Brother Lotte, you're here, sit down, I'll make tea. When the girl saw Chen Letian, she happily moved a stool to Chen Letian.

"Hello Xuan'er, hello, your favorite pork. He handed the girl the meat she was carrying, and she took it with joy and went into the house.

"Isn't it the entrance ceremony today, how can you have time to come to us for a stroll? The girl's father smiled and shook his head when he saw his daughter's happy appearance.

Chen Letian sat down and said, "Hello second uncle and third uncle, the entrance ceremony is over, and there is nothing to do, so I want to come and have a look." ”

The family was fishing on the Yellow River ten days ago, and by coincidence, they woke up Chen Letian's family. The family's surname is Li, the girl's father is called Li Jin, the second in line, another middle-aged man is the third, called Li Yin, and the girl is Li Jin's daughter, called Li Xuan'er.

When Li Xuan'er was three years old, her mother died of illness, and the wife of the third Li Yin also died of illness in the same year. Li Yinren is honest and will not live by himself, and since then, Li Jin and his daughter have taken this uncle to live. Now more than ten years have passed, and the family is doing well. Although I don't have much money, I don't have a problem with food and clothing.

Chen Letian sat for a while, a little anxious, and simply got up to help dry the fish. Li Jin waved away Chen Letian's hand that had just put on the fishing net, and said with a smile: "Students of Qingtian Pavilion, how can you do such rough work, you sit honestly for me." Xuan'er, how can this girl make tea until now!"

While talking, Li Xuan'er came out with a cup of tea.

After Chen Letian drank a few sips of tea, Li Jin said: "Xuan'er, you take Lotte out for a walk, go to the river, take a look at our boat by the way, go." ”

"Okay, Brother Lotte, I'll take you to see my net. Li Xuan'er jumped happily and took the lead.
