Before dawn the next day, Chen Wentao called Ah Chen early, and after a hasty breakfast, he was about to set off with only some necessities.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, it was just dawn, because most of the people had already said goodbye last night, there were not many people who came to the village to say goodbye to him at the moment, except for his grandparents, only Yaya's father Zhang Baixing.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Ah Chen looked into the distance, and the carriage that picked him up had not yet come, so he started chatting.

"Ah Chen, you are about to leave this village, your Uncle Zhang and I have also left here to go to school, and I still want to tell you after thinking about it, I hope you don't follow my old path."

"Uncle Zhang also went to school?" Ah Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he didn't come to investigate him for snatching Yaya's place.

"It's just that I went to the small courtyard, and I don't have much to say." Zhang Baixing waved his hand, as if there was really nothing. But you must know that he didn't have any favorable conditions back then, and he must have been admitted by virtue of his real talent, which is not easy.

"There is only one thing I want to say, there are many people outside who see that you are from the mountains and think that you are just inferior to him, and they have been squeezing you and looking down on you."

"Hmm." Ah Chen nodded, he also guessed this situation, "Teacher Yu said, don't care about this situation, it's best to ignore them." ”

Zhang Baixing pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's good to ignore it, but some people will think that you are afraid and dare not resist. So they will bully you and belittle you even more. ”

"Sometimes, silence is not the best option, and resistance can change what others think of you."

Ah Chen thought in his heart for a moment, "Ah Chen remember. Saying that, Ah Chen bowed to Zhang Baixing according to Yu Tongwen's teaching, and Zhang Baixing also returned the salute.

"Alright, lad, that's the end of the chatter, it's time for you to go." Chen Wentao walked over from the side, and when he looked along, a carriage was also slowly coming from a distance.

The carriage approached so that the others could see what it looked like. The groom sitting in front of him was very young, looking to be in his twenties. The van at the back doesn't look flashy, and there is no curtain at the entrance. But on the contrary, the overall look is not dilapidated, and there is no huge damage to the whole up and down, including the wheels, and it seems that it has not been in use for a long time.

Ah Chen got into the car surrounded by everyone, and Chen Wentao finally instructed: "Ah Chen, we won't follow, you must take care of yourself there." The carriage started slowly, and the crowd followed it for a long time. Wang Xiulan shouted: "Ah Chen, if you have a holiday, you must come back early!" ”

Ah Chen poked his head out of the window next to the carriage and replied, "Okay, I know everything." Go back quickly, too. Under Ah Chen's full dissuasion, they slowly stopped. He retracted his head back into the car, no longer looking at Zhang Baixing, who was worried, Wang Xiulan, who lowered his head to wipe his tears, and Chen Wentao, who comforted her.

Ah Chen's journey, no, it should be said: Chenchen's journey has officially begun.

The scene around him was constantly changing, and the tall mountain peaks that could be seen from the top gradually disappeared, replaced by large plains. On both sides of the road, there are sometimes lush woods and grasses, sometimes cozy farmhouses, and sometimes neat village terraces. The sweet sounds of birds kept coming from the sky, and even the sunlight seemed to change color.

While enjoying the surrounding scenery, Chen Chen also kept talking to the coachman, and had a rough understanding of some things about this college.

This coachman is not his own coachman, his name is Qi Qingrui, he is the "entry and exit administrator" (doorman) of the academy, this time he came to pick up Chen Chen to go to school, and the work such as driving horses is called "a skill that everyone in the city should know". According to his own words, he doesn't have much work in the academy, and he belongs to the kind of mixed eating and getting paid, and it makes sense to send him to pick up Chenchen for school this time. "Don't look down on my job, I got into such a job because of my relationship with the head of the house." Yo, according to what he meant, this seems to be a beautiful difference.

"The college you are going to enter is called 'Jianghan Academy', you may not have heard of it, but it is one of the top aristocratic colleges in the local area, and there are many students who usually sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in, but if you don't pass the entrance exam, you are not a child of nobility, and it is the first in history." As he spoke, he looked at Chenchen without leaving a trace, as if he was guessing that there was something special about him that would allow the school to set this precedent. For this, Ah Chen just touched his nose and didn't say anything more, still praising the merits of his grandfather and Teacher Yu in his heart.

According to Qi Qingrui in front of him, Jianghan Academy is located in "Yanyang", the capital of their Pyeongchang Kingdom, where everyone has thousands of dollars in their pockets, and it is a real city that never sleeps. Chen Chen also heard that the beauties there are all beautiful and fragrant, and they are singing in unison. When he said this, Qi Qingrui's saliva was about to flow to the soles of Chen Chen's feet, and he couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes, I'm still young this year, can I say this in front of me.

By the time the sun had already walked into the middle of the sky, Chenchen and the others had already walked through several towns of considerable size, so when a city appeared again at the end of the sight, Chenchen was still clubbing his chin on his arms holding the window.

Qi Qingrui patted Chenchen and said, "Wake up, the city has arrived." ”

I'm not sleeping. Chenchen looked forward, and the first thing that caught his eye were two large gates, which seemed to be made of bamboo, with eye-catching red paint on them, and copper discs scattered in the middle. The overall size is higher than that of the five Chenchen, but in terms of the magnificence of the city gate, it does win a bit. Connected to the gate is the town's wall, which also reaches into the sky, and you can't see the end of it on either side. There are also a large number of soldiers guarding this place, there are dozens, all wearing helmets and armor, and they are ready for battle. On one side of the gate there were pedestrians waiting in line for inspection, and on the other side it was empty, apparently for their kind of carriage. Qi Qingrui happily took out something like a customs clearance document from his arms, and the guards brushed it away.

As soon as he entered the city, Chen Chen's feeling was that there were "too many people", there were too many people, and it took a lot of effort for their carriage to move forward. But Chen Chen looked at the people on the road, there were not many people wearing silk brocade, but most of them were coarse linen clothes.

"Look over there, it's the academy." Qi Qingrui pointed to the side, but the carriage was still moving steadily.

"Wow, I already knew you had a problem, you didn't want to take me to the academy at all, did you?!"
