The furnishings of the house are extremely simple, with a few wooden cabinets on the left and a large bunk against the wall on the right, on which there are four beds separated by a kang table, and now only the place near the door is still empty.

Putting Gu Shi's things on the bunk, Du Mingran proposed: "Why don't I take you around first, and then make the bed when they wake up." ”

Gu Shi didn't refuse, and the two of them went out of the house together.

Hongyuan School Museum occupies a lot of area, this building is located at the back of the school, there are five rooms, and there is a small courtyard next to it is a canteen.

Going out through the weeping flower gate is the front yard, which is the place where I looked back and Lin Baobao saw when I came.

Through Du Mingran's introduction, Gu Shi knew that there were nearly twenty students here in the first two years, but then they all left somehow, and only Feng Qing and Gao Shicai stayed.

"I heard that most of those people went to Luyuan Academy after they left the academy." Seeing that Gu Shi was not a person who talked a lot, Du Mingran tried his best to find a topic: "Actually, I came a month earlier than you, and these are all things that Shicai told me." ”

Gu Shi's eyes flashed with surprise, he studied well in a school hall, and suddenly dropped out of school en masse? There's no problem here, who believes it?

Luyuan Academy is not like the number of students here can be counted in a slap, there are more than eighty percent of the students from Peach Blossom Town, and some of them even come to study in the next town.

According to the merits of the students, the grades are divided into different classes, so even if Du Mingran has been studying there for many years, there are still many people he doesn't know, let alone know where those people have studied.

Therefore, when listening to Gao Shicai, Du Mingran was also very surprised.

There was nothing to shop in the backyard, so the two went to the study in the front yard together.

"The one next to it is Mr. Xu's room, and the two rooms opposite were originally lecture rooms, but now they are vacant."

The door of the study was not locked, and the lock was only tied with a piece of iron, and Du Mingran pulled the piece away.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by three rows of bookshelves the height of adult men, filled with books.

No wonder Gao Shicai said that there are many books here, and Gu Shi has only seen so many books in Qingyizhai.

When I walked in, I saw that there was a bookcase behind the three rows of books, and there were not many books on it, unlike the other three bookshelves, which were neatly arranged, but more like they were abandoned by the owner.

The most important thing is that the books are very old and broken.

Noticing his gaze, Du Mingran explained: "The academy provides you with four books and one annotation of chapters and sentences, but you can't take them away, these books are all used by the students who left. ”

Gu Shi picked up a copy casually, it was too long, the page was already a little yellowed, and there were dense annotations written on it, which was clearly left by the previous owner.

I flipped through a few more books, and the situation was pretty much the same.

"Mr. Xu is easy-going, we don't have so many rules here, you can pick one set first." Du Mingran said again.

Gu Shi nodded and carefully selected.

"Didn't you say there were nearly twenty of them? How come there are only three sets here. ”

Three and a half sets, to be exact.

He separated the books in the same handwriting, and one set was missing four.

Du Mingran coughed lightly: "Mr. loves wine, and he took other books to exchange for wine." ”

Gu Shi: ......

In order to encourage more people to study for the imperial examination, unlike in the previous dynasties, only officials could receive a certain amount of rice and grain subsidies from the government every year.

However, it is not much, and the share of lifting people can support one person, and it is impossible to rely on these subsidies to eat and drink spicy food.

So Mr. Xu has to make money if he wants to drink, but there are few students in the school hall at all, so he has no choice but to sell books.

"I'm really worried that he'll do his hands on those books one day." Du Mingran sighed and looked at the books on the other three rows of bookshelves with a sad face: "While the books are still there, let's read more if we can." ”

There was a gentleman who exchanged books for wine, and Gu Shi was suddenly a little unsure whether his choice was correct.

Du Mingran himself was forced to be helpless, and he guessed that Gu Shi would stay here because his family was poor and couldn't afford the expensive constraints of other academies and schools.

It's all poor people.

He patted Gu Shi on the shoulder sympathetically: "Let's leave if you choose well, the two of them should wake up." ”

Poor man Gu Shi: ......
