Chapter 23 The Academies of the Two Houses
Cangzhou City is very large, it is a very lively place, with a lot of traffic and people.
As soon as Lintian entered the gate, he suddenly felt the prosperity of Cangzhou. The wide streets, the flow of people, and the teahouse shops everywhere, shouting and shouting. On the side of the road with the most pedestrians, there are small stalls, and at a glance, there is no end in sight.
Originally, I wanted to follow the flow of people and walk around Cangzhou City, but in this way, I was afraid that I would not be able to walk for a few days, so I finally gave up and decided to be on the safe side, and first went to the academy to settle down, and then made other plans.
Cangzhou is two provinces, originally not like now, but two independent places, according to legend a hundred years ago, there was a saint, wandering here, saw that between the two provinces, is the land of feng shui, can gather luck. If you make a name for yourself here, you will be able to produce talents.
Subsequently, the sage informed the imperial court, pointed out the direction, a few years later, between the two prefectures, the academy was opened, after many years of transformation, finally became the present, the merged Cangzhou City, the academy has also become the place where the Great Xuanguo produces talents, that is, the now famous 'Liangfu Academy'.
Although Lintian is a newcomer, it is not difficult to find the way to the academy, scholars and literati abound here, and you can know the way to the Liangfu Academy by asking.
Soon, Lintian roughly knew the direction of the academy and walked into the distance. But he didn't notice that in a teahouse behind him, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching his movements since he entered the city.
In the evening, the sky reflects a red glow, like a cluster of flames, wantonly swaggering.
The distance of the academy is farther than Lintian imagined, Cangzhou is really big, and after walking all day, I finally saw the gate of the academy.
Looking up at the sky, this academy is backed by green mountains, surrounded by bamboo forests, if you want to enter it, you still need to walk across a wooden bridge, so no matter what kind of dignitary you are, when you come here, you must dismount and walk in.
"This academy is really not simple, looking at the geographical location, doing the mountains and looking at the water, it must be the construction of feng shui, it feels really wonderful. Lintian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There are some people scattered around, most of them are dressed as scholars, and they should be students of the academy, but judging from everyone's temperament, there must be many children of official eunuchs.
Lintian thought as he took a step towards the inside of the wooden bridge. When I arrived at the academy, I was even more amazed by Lintian, many buildings stood side by side, and the mountains and rivers lingered in it, which was beautiful.
In the academy, there are many gentlemen, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all kinds of arts, from the look of clothing, you can tell whether they are gentlemen or students. casually asked someone, and Lintian walked into a bamboo building in the center.
This is the upper building of the college, which is responsible for the management of some files and records, as well as the distribution of new recruits and miscellaneous items.
Lin Tian walked in and saw that it was full of bookshelves, and there was only a middle-aged man, sitting at the table, not knowing what to write.
Lin Tian straightened up and said softly: "Excuse me, sir, the students are here to report." ”
The person at the table stopped in response and looked up at Lintian.
"Oh, give me your letter of recommendation. ”
Lintian hurriedly took out the letter that Master Zhang gave himself from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The man opened the letter, looked at it carefully, then placed it on the table and looked at Lintian.
"It turned out to be someone recommended by Master Zhang, and I am fortunate to meet it. The man arched.
Lintian hurriedly returned the salute, "The juniors don't dare, and I will ask Mr. for more advice in the future." ”
"Well, it's easy to say, under Li Wei, who is in charge of the housekeeping here, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lee. ”
"Well, it's just that why did you come so late? If you can come a few days in advance, with the letter from Master Zhang, you can be assigned to a good class, but now, you can only be assigned to class D. ”
Lin Tian wondered: "Sir, is there any difference between this class?"
"Actually, the difference is not big, it's just that the identity of each class, and the background and knowledge are different, the higher the front, the better, that's all, but don't worry, if the table xiàn is prominent, you can also transfer classes. ”
After hearing the explanation, Lintian didn't have anything to worry about. He can also think that survival of the fittest and diversion are normal things, since there is nothing different, Lintian doesn't care.
"Oh yes, Mr. Li, I heard before I came that the college can work part-time and let some students live in the college, I wonder if there are vacancies now?"
Li Wei looked at Lintian a little strangely, he thought that since this Lintian had the recommendation of Master Zhang, he should be a rich child, but he didn't expect that he would have to work and study when he came up, which was a little unexpected.
"Well, that's right, the academy does have, and there are vacancies, I happen to be in charge of this, you first familiarize yourself with the academy, receive items, if you want to work, I will arrange it for you in a few days." ”
Lintian arched his hand and said, "Then thank you, sir." ”
Lintian has inquired before he came, these two academies, the majority of the children of the eunuchs, most of them just come to study, after class, they leave the academy, but there are also many students with this background in Lintian, if they study and live at the same time, they are afraid that it will be very difficult in Cangzhou City, so in order to take care of this kind of students, the academy has opened a work-study program.
So Lintian decided to start working as a part-time worker as soon as he came here, living in the academy, one is to solve life problems, and the most important thing is to live in the academy, which is relatively safe, so if Wen Houde wants to do it, it will be difficult to do, after all, this is the academy of the two mansions, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and the cultivation abounds.
After that, Lintian followed Li Wei to get a dress, which is the uniform of the academy, which everyone must wear when they come to the academy to study, and there is also a token engraved with the name of Lintian, Liangfu Academy 'Tongsheng Lintian'.
Lintian heard Mr. Li say that this is only issued by the academy, and the token of the title, the child on it, is Lintian's current position, and when he is admitted to Xiucai, the academy will give him another piece.
With this token, you can go to many places in the academy to study, and some places need to check your identity, here, the literati are extremely important, and it may be related to the survival of the country, so as long as the various places related to the literati are subject to identity.
After a short time, Lintian's basic matters had been prepared, and then he followed Li Wei around the academy, pointing out those that were forbidden areas, and those who could only enter if they had reached certain qualifications, and finally came to the 'Ding Ban' that Lintian asked to go to.
Li Wei pointed forward, "That's Class Ding over there, you will study here in the future, the affairs of the academy are basically told to you, I will look for you in two days after work, you can stay first, and I will help you arrange it." ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
"Well, then let's get here, you can get familiar with it first, and then I'll go here tomorrow for normal classes. ”
"Yes. Lintian looked at the classroom in front of him, and was still a little excited in his heart, and after a lot of hardships, he finally took the first step......
