Chapter 11 Classmates
Qi Tanying unscrewed the water bladder and took a small sip under Jiang Zhenyu's gaze, and the sweet and greasy taste instantly permeated between her lips and teeth.
Sweet! She didn't want to take a second sip again.
Jiang Zhenyu saw her frowning, and hurriedly asked, "What, isn't it delicious?" ”
Qi Tanying looked at him with a "what do you think" looks.
Jiang Zhenyu was very puzzled, it stands to reason that it shouldn't, he can let people put more than half a jar of honey in it, and it should be sweet and fragrant to drink.
He couldn't help but snatch the water bladder from Qi Tanying's hand, first wiped the mouth of the bladder with his sleeve, and then raised his head and drank a few large sips of honey.
When the familiar sweetness melted in her mouth, Jiang Zhenyu's doubts in her heart became even worse, the taste has not changed, could it be that there is something wrong with her tongue?
When Jiang Zhenyu and Qi Tanying were still disagreeing over whether the honey was too sweet, Jiang Liangyu and Qi Yukun, who had gone up the mountain an hour earlier than them, had already completed their enrollment and were on their way to meet the head of the academy.
Before coming to the academy, Qi Yukun already had some general understanding of this. After completing the admission, the college also sent him a detailed historical document of the college, so that he could familiarize himself with the college.
According to historical records, Danfeng Academy was founded by Feng Mao, a great Confucian in the previous dynasty, and was originally a private school, and later became a government school by the government. After the establishment of the present dynasty, Taizu ordered the Danfeng Academy to be merged into the Tai Academy, and Taichang, one of the nine Qings, served as the mountain chief.
However, Taichang is generally only the nominal head of the mountain, and the real manager of the academy is the head of the hall under the head of the mountain, and is generally filled by the talented and powerful doctor.
There is a head of the hall below the head of the hall, four main speakers, eight deputy speakers and several fasting leaders. The head of the college is appointed by the head of the hall himself, and most of them are the right-hand men of the head of the hall to assist the head of the college in the management of the college.
The main lecturer and the sub-lecturer are all famous contemporary Confucians, the main lecturer is responsible for teaching the students the Four Books and the Five Classics and the way of being an official, and the sub-lecturer teaches the students etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
The chief is responsible for the discipline of the students, the daily appearance and behavior of the students, and will give severe punishment of "expulsion from the hospital" to some serious disregard of discipline.
The chief also serves as the head of the college's guards, and the security of the academy is responsible for the security of the academy under the chief's guards.
Although Danfeng College is affiliated with Tai College, it is very different from Tai College in terms of recruiting students. Most of the students of Tai Academy are from noble families, children of official eunuchs, and outstanding students recommended by officials and scholars from all over the world.
The enrollment of Danfeng Academy is never based on family background and money, and those who have real talent and valuable character are eligible, so almost half of the students enrolled in Danfeng Academy are poor students.
Tai College has a four-year study system, while Danfeng College has a six-year study system. Although the duration of study is different, students can take the entrance examination directly after graduation.
Jiang Liangyu was admitted to Danfeng Academy at the age of 14, graduated from the academy at the age of 20, and won the eighth place in the general examination and the third in the palace examination in the same year.
Before him, his maternal grandfather Wang Zhongqiao and uncle Qi Heming were both second-class jinshi in the first emperor's period, among which his maternal grandfather Wang Zhongqiao was still a second-class skull. It's just that Weng and his son-in-law have not lived long, and they have passed away suddenly before they have made achievements in their careers.
Wang Zhongqiao only had two daughters in his life, and the two daughters married into the Jiang family and the Qi family respectively. Jiang Liangyu, who is under the knee of the eldest daughter, has become an official, and Qi Yukun, the son of the youngest daughter, has also obtained the qualification to enter Danfeng Academy.
The current head of Danfeng Academy is Hu Mingxiu, Wang Zhongqiao's classmate in the academy, and when he learned that the newly enrolled student Qi Yukun was the grandson of his former classmate, he lost his mind for a moment.
"If your grandfather is still here, seeing the two of you fighting so much, I'm afraid your tail will go to the sky."
Qi Yukun heard that he didn't know what he said, so Jiang Liangyu solved his confusion for him: "The hall chief and my grandfather are classmates, and they are also the same scholars in Qingping for 20 years. ”
Qi Yukun then understood that his grandfather and the hall chief still had such a relationship, and he respectfully bowed to the hall head, "Yukun has been an example of his grandfather and father since he was a child, and hopes to be able to learn like them and seek the well-being of all the people in the world." ”
Looking at the determined and serious teenager in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the days when he was a classmate with his grandfather.
He and Wang Zhongqiao are known as the two heads of Danfeng, and they have always been compared. Wang Zhongqiao won the first place in the examination, and he ranked third. Wang Zhongqiao fell to fourth in the palace examination, and he became the champion of that year.
Later, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy as an official, Wang Zhongqiao was released, and after seeing each other for many years, the two were married and had children. Later, Wang Zhongqiao passed away, and he was tired of the intrigue of officialdom and chose to return to the academy to teach and educate people.
After so many years, the descendants of his former classmates are more talented in reading than the other, but the children and grandchildren under his knees are not reading material. Compared with the two, Hu Mingxiu regretted it.
Tang Chang Hu likes Qi Yukun very much, and thinks that he has great ambitions at a young age, and he is smart and sensitive, and he is a rare good seedling.
Thinking that he had a little granddaughter of the same age as him at home, he couldn't help but have the idea of recruiting him as his grandson-in-law. Just as he was thinking about how to mention this, the head of the court came to report, "Hall Chief, Qi Yukun's family is here. ”
Hu Tangchang was a little surprised, and Jiang Liangyu explained: "The stone stairs in the front mountain are difficult to walk, so the student's aunt and cousin took their servants up the mountain from the back mountain. ”
Tang Chang Hu asked them to come in, and when Jiang Liangyu and Qi Yukun saw that there were only Qi Tanying and Jiang Zhenyu, they hurriedly asked Mrs. Qi where she went.
Qi Tanying told him that Mrs. Qi had broken her foot and was being treated at the Yamashita Hospital.
Afraid that he would be cranky, he told him that his mother's condition was not serious.
Qi Yukun was still worried.
Seeing this, Hu Tangchang said: "You must see it with your own eyes to rest assured, go down the mountain and see your mother." "This is an exception for him to go down the mountain.
Qi Yukun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thanked him with joy on his face.
Director Hu also reminded: "The academy has a rule that the courtyard gate will be closed at the end of the Shen period, and you must rush back before the courtyard gate closes, otherwise it will be regarded as abandonment." ”
Hearing this, Qi Tanying subconsciously wanted to persuade her younger brother not to be impulsive, but Qi Yukun had already made up her mind to go down the mountain.
For him, whether it is reading or visiting his mother, it is equally important, and he can master the degree between the two.
Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain, it only took half the time to go up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and after going down the mountain, Qi Tanying and his party went straight to the medical center in the town.
Mrs. Qi's foot injury has been treated, only a slight sprain, and it can be healed after a few days of rest. Seeing Qi Yukun and Qi Tanying going down the mountain together, she thought that something had gone wrong with her admission, and her face changed suddenly.
Qi Tanying hurriedly explained to her that Qi Yukun went down the mountain after getting the hall head Xu Ken, and Mrs. Qi's high-raised heart slowly fell back into her chest. Knowing that her son was worried about his foot injury, and only felt that her son knew how filial to his mother was at a young age, Mrs. Qi was very relieved.
In the middle of the day, after a morning of travel, everyone was already hungry, so they ordered some food in the restaurant in the town to satisfy their hunger.
After lunch, Qi Yukun, under the urging of his mother, reluctantly bid farewell to his family, and stepped into the holy land of books that students all over the world dream of without hesitation.
