It took a lot of time to solve Zhang Qianyuan's matter, Tang Xiaoqi and Mo Junze hurriedly rushed to the north of the city in order to find the academy, where there is the most famous Baizhu Academy in the city, although it is expensive, but it is the best in the city, so it is naturally the first choice.

When I arrived in the north of the city, the atmosphere was different, there were many scholars dressed up on the street, and the posture was upright, and some people read poems from time to time, and the street vendors seemed to have a different literary atmosphere.

Tang Xiaoqi looked at it with satisfaction, and after a while, he arrived at the gate of the academy, Baizhu Academy occupies a huge area, and there is a plaque hanging in front of the Zhu Gate, with four big characters of "Baizhu Academy" written on it, and the words are also very good.

Knocking on the knocker, a doorman opened the door, and he looked at the two people in front of him curiously, "Hello two, I don't know what happened to Baizhu Academy." After saying that, he also saluted.

Tang Xiaoqi also bent down and returned the salute: "I came here today to ask, the enrollment standards of your academy, I have a younger brother who is not very old, but his family wants to send him to study, but his family is illiterate, I heard that Baizhu Academy is very famous, so take a look." ”

The doorman was very delicate, and his eyes were very clever when he looked at it, he looked at Tang Xiaoqi and felt that he was dressed ordinary, he pursed his lips secretly, and when he looked at Mo Junze again, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened the door, played with his waist again, and let the two of them in.

"Two of you, please come in, the academy is a clean place, it's not easy to walk around, I'll go and call a gentleman to come and tell you now, please wait here for a while."

The two naturally agreed, and after a while, the doorman led a thin middle-aged gentleman over, and the gentleman also looked at them, and when he saw a piece of jade tied around Mo Junze's waist, his face that was still tight also showed a smile.

"The two of you are here to inspect the academy for the younger brother of the family, can I take you to the academy to have a look now?"

Tang Xiaoqi already didn't like it when he saw the style of these two people, but he came, and it didn't hurt to take a look, so he agreed: "Thank you, sir, I don't know what Mr. is called, my surname is Tang, and this one next to me is Mo Gongzi, and he came with me." ”

"My surname is Xie, Miss Tang, Master Mo, please come with me."

Tang Xiaoqi walked behind Mr. Xie, and after a few glances with Mo Junze, he always felt that this Baizhu Academy was not a good place.

She gestured with her eyes, and Mo Junze seemed to understand, and nodded in agreement.

Mr. Xie in front of him was unaware and was still introducing the situation of the college.

The people of Baizhu Academy are really not very good, but the furnishings are very in line with Tang Xiaoqi's aesthetics, black tiles and white walls, and there are large pieces of bamboo and maple trees planted in the courtyard.

"Look, two of you, this is a pavilion that the first dean of my White Bamboo Academy personally supervised the construction of, called Chengxin Pavilion."

Tang Xiaoqi looked at the place where Mr. Xie pointed out, and saw a small pavilion built alone in the center of the lake, and there was only one way to pass, so he couldn't help but say: "The pavilion in the center of the lake, just sitting in it can be meditative, no wonder it's called Chengxin." ”

Mr. Xie obviously didn't expect her to know this, but his mouth kept talking, "It's not like Miss Tang is so smart that she hasn't read a book. ”

Tang Xiaoqi chuckled and shook her head, she had finished nine years of compulsory education, and she still understood these things.

Mr. Xie saw that she was not in the mood to talk about this, so he changed the topic very brightly and continued to introduce others.

Although the academy is large, there are some places that cannot be visited, and although Mr. Xie wants to befriend Mo Junze, he does not dare to violate the rules.

After turning around, Mr. Xie led them to sit down in a hall, and a servant brought tea and snacks.

Mr. Xie took a sip of tea and said, "The two of you have already seen the academy, you should know something about the academy, I don't know what your intentions are, our academy is the best in the whole city, please consider it carefully." ”

Obviously, Mr. Xie is not worried that they will not choose not to read, as he said, Baizhu Academy is the best, and there have been some officials, although there is no champion, but there are also many people on the list, and even Tang Xiaowu's brother Tang Fu can't read it.

Tang Xiaoqi seemed a little worried, but Mo Junze didn't, and said bluntly: "We have to go to other academies to have a look, and if we have the intention to enroll in the future, we will come back." ”

Mr. Xie's face immediately collapsed, and he forced himself to show a smile, "Indeed, after all, it still depends on your choice, although my Baizhu Academy is good, it is not cheap, and the tuition fee is forty taels a year, not to mention the cost of pen and ink books." ”

Tang Xiaoqi couldn't stop when he heard this, thought about Tang Xiaojiu, endured it, and pulled Mo Junze to say goodbye to Mr. Xie before leaving.

Walking on the street, Mo Junze saw that Tang Xiaoqi was still angry, and asked with a smile: "You don't look down on Baizhu Academy so much, why are you so polite to them, besides, the gentlemen there are high and low, and they can't call good students." ”

Tang Xiaoqi turned his face and said, "Of course I don't like the people in that academy anymore, they are so flattering after seeing you dressed like this, I'm afraid that they will teach Xiao Jiu badly," she paused for a moment and continued, "But after all, it is the best academy in the city, if I offend them, even if Xiao Jiu doesn't study in that academy, I'm afraid it will be difficult for other places to accept him." ”

"If you go back to the capital and talk to your father, then your brother is afraid that he will be able to go to the country." Mo Junze's words almost blurted out in his heart.

Tang Xiaoqi naturally didn't hear the voice in his heart, he just turned his head to cheer himself up, and said to Mo Junze: "I still want to trouble you, accompany me to see the situation of other academies." ”

Of course Mo Junze agreed, he walked behind Tang Xiaoqi, but he was thinking about telling Tang Xiaoqi the truth, after all, tuberculosis is not a minor disease, and there may not be many days to live, so he must take her back before King Shen is alive.

The city where Tang Xiaoqi is located is called Nanyang City, but it is just a small city, and it is only three academies, and it took a while to finish reading.

It was just dinner time, and Tang Xiaoqi invited him to eat fresh in order to thank Mo Junze.

Tang Jieyang was not there, they sat down by the window, and Tang Xiaoqi was a little distressed.

Baizhu Academy is the most famous, but the two people I saw were of bad character, the second Sihai Academy was very good, Mr. was also humble and polite, and he looked quite talented, but the atmosphere was too rigid, it was indeed not as good as Baizhu Academy, not to mention the last West Wind Academy, if you want to do some work such as settling accounts and other work to read and write, it is best to go there, but Tang Xiaoqi studied for the sake of fame, and West Wind is the least to consider.

The more Tang Xiaoqi thought about it, the more headache he felt, the two academies had their own good and bad, and she really didn't know how to choose.
