Chapter 125: Leaving the Academy
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Luxi Academy is about to close, and the students packed their bags early and prepared to go home for the exam. Those who live close to each other can reach home in only ten days and a half months; If you live far away, you may spend months just on the road.
In order to save time, many students choose to go to the examination venue to prepare for the exam in the city, especially those who have already taken the township examination, so they simply decided to leave Luxi Academy and go directly to the capital to wait for the examination in March next year.
Luxi Academy is closed this time, and the next class will be more than half a year later. There is such a long time between one after the other, if you pass this examination, you will naturally happily wait for the official to take office, and if you don't win, you have to come back to continue studying.
Therefore, whether to leave some luggage in the academy and leave a way out for yourself to come back next year has become a major problem for students.
But no matter how others disturbed, it couldn't affect Gu Yunji, even the day before he left the academy, he still went to hand in his homework to Xu Chengyu.
Seeing the meticulously completed homework in his hands, Xu Chengyu nodded: "The academy will be closed tomorrow, and everyone is busy packing their luggage at this time, but it is rare that you can still calm down and do your homework." ”
"The closure of the academy is for us to go back to participate in the imperial examination, and if we do our homework well, we can also increase our knowledge, and it is also to prepare for the imperial examination, and there is no reason for who comes first and who comes later." Gu Yunji looked taken for granted, "Besides, I only have so much luggage, and I don't have anything to pack."
Xu Chengyu seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard that you and Cheng Yan not only packed their luggage, but also brought a lot of Su Qi's things, and even his cricket jars." Packed so clean, not ready to come back? ”
Hearing the ridicule in Xu Chengyu's words, Gu Yunji looked back at him with a smile and asked confidently: "Do you want us to come back?" ”
"That's goodbye!" Xu Chengyu directly denied it without thinking about it, and shook his head like a rattle, "I've taught you for two and a half years, I've taught enough, don't come back if you leave this time, I don't want to see you at all when the class starts next year!" ”
Xu Chengyu was very disgusted on the surface, but in fact, everyone could tell that he hoped that Gu Yunji and others would enter the department in one fell swoop this time, and they would not have to come back to continue studying. Looking at his duplicity, Gu Yunji couldn't help but think of the teachers who were obviously very reluctant after the college entrance examination in his previous life, but still pretended to "kick them out" of the school.
Although the past and present lives are different, the teachers' hearts are the same.
Thinking about it like this, Gu Yunji suddenly felt a sense of proximity to graduation in his heart, and he was a little reluctant for a while.
He looked up at the furnishings in the house, this flower and tree, a table and a chair, all of which he was familiar with in the past two and a half years, and this time he left, I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in the future.
Seeing Gu Yunji stroking the table in his hand, his eyes were full of nostalgia, Xu Shuhua lightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing two shallow pear vortices: "What, Gu Gongzi has taken a fancy to this table?" If you can't bear it, we'll give it to you as a souvenir. ”
Gu Yunji paused, retracted his hand embarrassedly, and whispered with a red face: "No, no, I just feel that in the past days in the academy, I came to hand in my homework every day, and I have been with these tables, chairs, flowers and trees for so long, and I am a little uncomfortable to leave this time." ”
"What's more, if I say goodbye to you this time, I won't see you for months, and I'm not reluctant to ...... table."
Reluctant to be a person.
Considering that Xu Chengyu was still on the side, Gu Yunji didn't finish his words, but Xu Shuhua still understood.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head as if she noticed something, just in time to meet Gu Yunji's clear and affectionate eyes.
Maybe it was because of the imminent parting, the young man's strong emotions overflowed, and the affection under his eyes couldn't be hidden, and the hot gaze burned Xu Shuhua's heart, and instantly turned into a pool of rippling spring water, which was so soft that it couldn't be seen.
The ghost made the god to the ground, she didn't take her eyes off, just looked back at him so quietly, at this moment it seemed to be a wasted old man.
"Ahem, ahem!"
There were a few uncomfortable coughs in their ears, and the two of them came back to their senses, their faces suddenly turned red to the base of their necks, and they hurriedly turned their heads away and staggered their eyes from each other.
Xu Chengyu glanced at the two of them with affection, patted Gu Yunji's shoulder, and said seemingly unintentionally: "There's nothing to be reluctant about, after the academy is closed, I will take Shuhua back to the capital, and when you pass the township exam, you will naturally be able to meet us again when you take the exam next year." ”
The implication is that now is not the time for children to grow up, Gu Yunji can only successfully enter the scientific examination Jinshi, and he and Xu Shuhua can go further, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Gu Yunji hurriedly responded: "The disciple will definitely work hard day and night when he goes back this time, and he will not disappoint the teacher!" ”
Xu Chengyu nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you know your strength as a teacher, there will be no problems with normal play, you just need to calm down, don't work too yourself, tired body will outweigh the losses." ”
As he spoke, he added; "Okay, it's getting late, you go back early to rest, and you don't have to say goodbye tomorrow."
Gu Yunji gave him a deep bow when he heard this, and after officially saying goodbye, he turned around and left the mountain chief's mansion.
The next morning, the students got up before dawn to pack up and make the final preparations before departure.
Walking out of the mountain gate, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stopped in unison, looking back at Luxi Academy, where they had lived and studied for two and a half years, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Apprenticeship, the emperor's arrival, semi-annual examination, amusement party, Fang Zigui leaving, resettlement of displaced people...... One past event after another crossed Gu Yunji's heart, causing ripples of the past. Looking back now, those pictures are vivid, just like the imperial plaque hanging above the mountain gate, still vivid.
Everything seems to be yesterday.
Gu Yunji's gaze was far away, as if he had spent two and a half years staring at himself when he first entered the academy - the immature young man who was curious, apprehensive, and full of expectations.
Cheng Yan stood quietly for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "Time flies so fast...... Yunji, I don't think I'll ever come back. ”
Gu Yunji looked at him sideways, his eyes determined: "I think so too." ”
Cheng Yan laughed and couldn't help but punch him: "So confident? New science and technology scholar Gu Yunji? ”
"Aren't you just as confident, Xinke Jinshi Cheng Yan!"
"That's better for me to be confident, because I think I'm higher than you!"
"This can be said, you must know that I have more when I take the first exam, in case I am the champion, what if you are the leader?"
……
The two teenagers talked and laughed, and unconsciously walked farther and farther, leaving only the mountain gate standing silently in place, the gilded characters on the plaque glowed slightly in the sun, and the handwriting was clear and dazzling, just like yesterday.
