Because he touched himself in a certain way, Lu Yuan listened to this servant slowly chattering, and slowly became interested, no longer feeling bored, and listened patiently.

And through the other party's mouth, he learned some interesting facts about the college.

For example, in the academy, there are three students who are in the limelight now.

One is the young master of the Li family, who controls the rice business and is the largest rice merchant in the city. This person is rumored to be extremely intelligent, and at the age of fifteen, he has already been admitted to Xiucai. Now that he is only eighteen years old, he has accumulated three years, and he is very likely to be promoted in the autumn examination of the coming year.

The other is the son of Guo Ju's family. The Guo family is a scholarly family, and has been reading for generations.

Guo Gongzi is even more educated, not only gentle and elegant, but also a talent. In this year's spring examination, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 16 and became one of Sun Siwen's political achievements.

The last one is naturally Gu Songyun, who was accepted as a disciple by Sun Siwen and had high hopes. This person came from a poor background, and although he was diligent and studious, his path to study had been difficult because he had no academic qualifications.

In the first two years, he almost couldn't even pay the tuition fees and was kicked out of the college.

Fortunately, the scholar saw Gu Songyun's intelligence, accepted him as a disciple, and took his whole family to his home for relief.

After two years of teaching, he finally passed the Xiucai exam this year.

And Gu Songyun is the same age as the son of the Guo family, he is sixteen years old. are the youngest two in this batch of talents.

People who have been doing good things for a while call the two Changning Shuangjie, which can be said to have earned enough limelight.

However, according to the grapevine, the son of the Guo family seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the title of Changning Shuangjie, and seems to think that Gu Songyun is not worthy of being ranked with him.

It's just that because of the face of the scholar, it didn't have a seizure.

But the competition between the two is indeed more intense.

In addition to some interesting facts about the academy, the servant also told scandalous gossip about various families in the city, which was also eye-opening.

However, Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to this, just listened to it a little, and found that it was just a boring drama of concubines competing for favor, red apricots going out of the wall, and children and grandchildren fighting for family property, so he was not interested.

At this time, there was a dull bell ringing in the academy, and after a few bells, the crowd waiting outside instantly moved.

It's noon, and the college is finally out for vacation.

A moment later, the closed door opened, and then a group of scholars wearing student uniforms in green clothes suddenly poured out.

The people who were waiting outside raised their necks one by one to recognize people, and soon found their target.

With the vacation of these students, the vendor seats next to them, which had just been a little vacant, were full again in an instant.

After studying hard for half a month, I have been locked up in the college, although I have bread and drink in it, but the big pot of rice in the college, except for the small stove of the dean and the others, how good can the taste be?

Many students are already able to bring birds out of their mouths.

At this time, I was liberated, and some people who couldn't wait just wanted to have a good meal.

……

The crowd gradually thinned out, and as time passed, there were few people left at the entrance of the academy, except for the students and their servants who were eating and drinking with their classmates at the stalls next to them.

In the crowd just now, Lu Yuan didn't see Sun Siwen's figure. Guessing that the other party might still be in the academy, he prepared to look for the other party.

It was only when I arrived at the gate that I was stopped by the porter.

In the place of the sages of the academy, except for the students and their masters, even the families of those students are not allowed to enter on weekdays.

He is such a stranger with a raw face, of course, the porter guarding the door can't let people in. Otherwise, what should I do if I hurt the teachers and students in the school and damage the school's property?

In this regard, Lu Yuan could only report his name and let the porter go in and pass on the message.

A moment later, Sun Siwen's hurried figure appeared in front of him with the porter.

"Brother Lu." Seeing his friend, Sun Siwen was quite happy, but he was confused: "Why are you here?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "After coming to Changning, I stayed at your house for half a month, and I have been bored at home, which is a little boring. It's the end of the month, and I think you should take a break here, so I want to come to you to play.

Brother Sun, you are a landlord, my friend has come all the way, you have to take me to visit the scenery of Changning. ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Siwen stroked his forehead, a little ashamed, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I was negligent, I was busy teaching during this time, but I was slow to treat Brother Lu." My bad, my bad. ”

As he spoke, he took Lu Yuan's hand and walked towards the academy: "Brother Lu came just in time, I have long wanted to introduce you to my disciple."

It just so happens that Songyun grew up around here, and he is very familiar with the surrounding scenery.

This time, he asked him to take us to the mountains for a visit.

By the way, doesn't Brother Lu like hunting?

In my college, we not only teach poetry and books, but also teach archery music, and there are a few pairs of bows in the archery field, and we go into the mountains to hunt. ”

As a martial arts world that respects martial arts, the literati scholars of Dayue are affected by the atmosphere, so naturally they cannot be weak chicken scholars who can only read.

In addition to the normal study of poetry and classics, there are some other fencing, archery, and riding teachings, and all the larger colleges will basically establish disciplines.

Therefore, in addition to poems and articles, scholars in this world can also hold swords, open bows, and ride horses.

Of course, just like Lu Yuan's physical education class in his previous life, the main business of the students here is still reading, and other fencing, archery, and riding courses are only taken occasionally, and they don't spend too much time teaching.

Students can learn on their own if they are interested in studying outside of class, but the college does not make it mandatory and is purely voluntary.

In this teaching mode, the strength of the scholars is naturally not much higher.

Just like Sun Siwen, he boasted that he had learned archery on weekdays, but when he was in Yangmei Town before, Lu Yuan once gave him his hunting bow to try, but he couldn't even pull the bow away, and he was ridiculed for a while.

But although I'm not good at archery, isn't it making up for my friends now?

So Sun Siwen thought that it was a big deal to let his friends laugh at him again, and he also wanted to let the other party have some fun.

Sure enough, when Lu Yuan heard about hunting, he immediately became interested: "Is there a lot of prey in this mountain?" ”

If you think about it, I haven't hunted in the mountains for nearly a year.

After such a long time, the craft of hunting has become a little rusty.

That's not going to work.

As the archery god of Lantau Island, he decided to practice his hunting skills again in the near future.

Not only to relax the mood, but also to send a pen by the way.

The last time I went to the South China Sea to sell furs, I earned more than 1,000 taels of silver, but after more than two years of expenses, there are only more than 400 taels left.

This made Lu Yuan feel a little financial pressure, so he was ready to start work and earn back the money he spent.

'I hope there are more tigers, leopards, bears and wolves here. He thought to himself.
