Jingshan Academy is connected by several mountains and covers a vast area. Ling Yun would ask Fatty to wander around the academy when he had nothing to do.
Bamboos can be seen everywhere in the academy, one after another, which means that each step is rising.
In particular, a teahouse was set up under the bamboo for students to drink tea, have fun, and recite poems.
From time to time, I bump into students who are talking loudly, sitting in a pavilion, reciting classics, and discussing with each other.
This scattered group of people were sitting and lying in the pavilion, either composing poems or reciting poems, and the learning atmosphere was quite strong.
Although he and his father took a tour last time, they just passed by in a hurry and didn't take a closer look.
Now when I walk around again, I suddenly find that the senior students have independent houses, and they are grouped together to form a pavilion.
Ling Yun couldn't help but wonder, could this be the origin of the earlier academy?
There are plaques hanging above the pavilions, which are respectively the Children's Courtyard and the Scholars' Courtyard.
Of course, this boy is not that boy. This boy is a boy who has passed the boy examination but failed to pass. And Ling Yun and the others are boys of their real age.
Naturally, the top scholar should be Juren, but that was not the case here. He took it for granted that not every academy had the ability to open a Juren Academy.
After all, the top candidate is Jinshi. Lingshan County was not ranked in the Daqian Dynasty, so naturally Jingshan Academy did not have the corresponding strength.
He estimated that if he passed the exam, he would most likely go to Fucheng or find a great scholar to become his disciple before he could go any further.
Of course, there are academies that can teach people, and in Ling Yun's impression, a level like Yuelu Academy should be able to do it.
Of course, he didn't know if there was a Yuelu Academy in this dynasty, after all, he hadn't learned about it yet.
Moreover, the high school candidates are the reserve officials of the imperial court. When there are vacancies, they can be filled in. The prerequisite is that they have money, and money can make all the difference.
,
Moreover, most people who become scholars have reached the age of marrying and having children.
Furthermore, some people are lucky enough to pass the exam, but their energy has long been worn away by lying in Wenwen Village for a few years.
If there is no enterprising spirit, who will still study in the academy in a disciplined manner? Let alone the scholar who is above the scholar.
Ling Yun looked at them one by one and discovered something interesting, just take the children's courtyard as an example.
The people inside were disorganized, ranging from children with buns to old men with white hair. The stark contrast was really disappointing.
The white-haired old man is probably about the same age as Li Chuan, but he is still struggling here.
Ling Yun shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, the allure of the imperial examination was like opium.
The first puff can make you feel refreshed and alert, but once you become addicted, you can't quit.
It's okay to have a well-off family, but if it were an ordinary family like them, they would probably end up with a broken family.
It’s so sad and deplorable!
Ling Yun, who passed by the children's courtyard, felt quite heavy, and quietly walked to the door called the Library Pavilion without knowing it.
When he looked up, he realized that it was the ancient library he had been searching for.
Facing the library so close at hand, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel extremely excited, and the gloomy mood just now disappeared.
He walked in with excitement and saw an energetic old man sitting at the entrance.
Sitting motionless on the stool, he saw Ling Yun walking in. He glanced at Ling Yun sideways and said, "Take out the academy token."
Academy token?
What it is?
Could it be the waist badge that the master had given them a few days ago, so he rummaged through his pocket, and the two of them took it out and tried to hand it to the old man.
"Boy Class A, Ling Yun, Zhou Shoufu." The old man who got the badge took a look.
Then the old man said coldly with a serious face, "You can only enter the first floor of the library, and you are not allowed to go up to the second floor. Remember not to damage the books, and you are not allowed to take away the books privately. If you find any damage or private possession of a book, you will be required to pay ten yuan.
Besides, the academy does not accept compensation, it only asks for compensation of books."
After that, the old man returned his belt to Ling Yun and the other two.
Ling Yun put away his waist card and murmured in his mind, "I'll pay you ten if you fake it? You don't need any money, just the book."
It's really scary to think about it, books are more important than money.
The Lakers do not deceive me, there is a golden house in the book.
Therefore, the books in the academy are naturally much more valuable than money, Ling Yun thought.
Walking into the first floor of the book pavilion, there are bookshelves all around, one with three floors, and each layer is filled with books.
"Ling Yun, there are so many books." The fat man looked at the dazzling array of books and couldn't help but be extremely excited.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Ling Yun pointed to the "No Noise" sign next to him and made a silent gesture.
"Hehe, I couldn't hold it back for a moment." The fat man scratched his head, looked at him and said with a silly smile.
Then he followed Ling Yun's footsteps, his teeth clenched.
Ling Yun looked around and browsed around, and found that they were all superficial reading materials suitable for children, such as Three Hundred Thousand and Disciple Rules, which are sacred objects of enlightenment.
There are even simple paintings, most of which are vivid explanations, some idioms or fables. Although they are interesting to read, they are far from what I need, and I feel very disappointed.
But after all, I came in and took a closer look to see if there were any more reliable books.
Just like that, Ling Yun stopped at a bookshelf and read quietly.
The fat man followed suit and picked up a book and started reading.
After a while, the drowsy fat man sat next to the bookshelf and fell asleep.
Ling Yun glanced at it, sighed softly, and shook his head.
He muttered, "I really don't know what he is here for? He eats in class, eats after class, and sleeps in the library."
What a talent!
Unconsciously, the sky turned dark. Ling Yun looked up and was shocked, and quickly woke up the fat man.
"Well, Ling Yun, why are you filming me?" The fat man rubbed his eyes, squinted his eyes, and asked with a yawn.
"Get up, we should go." Ling Yun pointed to the door.
"Oh, are you leaving?"
"Yes, get up quickly." Ling Yun took the fat man's hand, but found that he was as steady as a mountain and did not move at all.
Looking at his round belly, I consciously overestimated my own strength and underestimated his tonnage.
After walking out of the library, Ling Yun hurried towards the door of the dormitory, with the fat man following closely behind.
"Ling Yun, wait for me." The fat man was sweating profusely and out of breath.
"Hurry up, there will be no food in the cafeteria later." Ling Yun looked up and saw that the sky was getting dark, and urged anxiously.
"Oh, let's go quickly." As soon as he heard that there was no food in the cafeteria, the fat man started to walk briskly.
Ling Yun looked at the fat man running in front of him and thought to himself that this guy was really bad at everything and he was the first to eat.
Seeing the fat man walking away, Ling Yun couldn't help but quicken his pace.
