In the Imperial College, Mu Yan finished two classics and history classes in the morning, then went to a riding and archery class for an hour before returning to the classroom.
Guozijian teaches according to six levels, Guangye Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Zhengyi Hall are the junior halls. Those who are young or have only mastered the Four Books but not the Five Classics are divided into the junior halls. Those who are proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, the Three Classics, and the Twenty-One Histories
, enter the intermediate hall.
The duration of primary and secondary education is one and a half years.
The high-level Suixingtang has a one-year academic system. Those who pass the monthly and ten-month examinations can go to the five offices, six departments, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the General Affairs Department, Dali Temple and other yamen to participate in various government affairs.
The internship period ranges from three months to one year.
There is no Imperial College in this dynasty, and all the noble disciples are crowded into the Imperial College, just like a small court.
Mu Yan is in the junior Guangye Hall. His status is awkward, and usually no one takes the initiative to befriend him.
Coupled with the fact that he kept away from strangers, there were very few classmates who could talk to him.
So he became more and more silent.
Etiquette, music, law, archery, imperial edicts, calligraphy, arithmetic, Muyan archery, and imperial edicts are the best. After all, my grandfather took me with me since I was a child and taught him personally. I got up early and squatted on a horse until I could walk.
Many of the noble sons of the Imperial College will be the imperial guards in the future, or they will be the reserve army of the imperial guards. The family wants to keep them in the greenhouse, just for fear that they will make the slightest mistake.
How could they bear the hardship of riding, shooting, and practicing martial arts in the morning and evening?
Every time there was a riding and archery class, everyone wailed and even wished they could pretend to be sick at home. Only Mu Yan looked forward to the riding and shooting class. Every time, he was praised by the riding and archery instructor, and he was the best among the students.
He is not immune to the jealousy of others. People who don't like him always want to give him a stumbling block.
Mu Yan was disdainful, and once he implemented the plan, he felt no psychological burden.
After the riding and archery class, there was also a calligraphy class. Everyone slumped on the desks and chairs in a helpless manner, their feet hurt, their hands hurt, their backs and necks were sore, and everything ached.
Only Mu Yan took out a jar of Tu butter, unscrewed the lid, and took out a big steamed bun, preparing to eat the steamed bun with Tu butter.
As soon as it was opened, all the students who were still limp stood up together.
"What is it? It smells so good!" His stomach growled louder and louder.
"Bad butter!" The little fat man Xu Sanbao's eyes immediately widened, and he climbed up from his table to Mu Yan.
"Mu Yan, where did you come from? I asked people to buy it, but they couldn't find it. I asked the kitchen to make it, but it didn't taste the same."
Xu Sanbao took a big sip and was intoxicated. Well, this is the flavor! It’s the flavor he had before! I want it!
"Mu Yan, good Mu Yan, hurry up and give me a bite!"
"I want it too, give me a bite!"
"Mu Yan, we are all classmates, you can't be alone!"
Usually he doesn't care much about him, but now he is a classmate. Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and quickly suppressed it.
"It was transferred to me by someone else. If you want it, I can transfer it to you." Mu Yan screwed the lid on and looked like he was loved by his classmates.
"I, I want, three taels!" Xu Sanbao said first. Thinking that Mu Yan also got it from someone else, he shouted again: "Four taels!"
Mu Yan stared at the bald butter in his hand and made no move.
"Five taels!"
"Six taels!"
"Eight taels!" Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, and he had to make up for the extra eight taels.
"Twelve liang! Don't grab it from me! Otherwise I won't bring you delicious food next time!" Xu Sanbao threatened.
Well, the threat was effective.
Xu Sanbao is delicious, and he brings good things almost every day. It’s not that he is very friendly and likes to share with others, but this little fat guy always likes to show off to others when he eats delicious things, and likes to go around trying to satisfy others.
His family also knew about his problem and got used to it. His mother gave birth to three sons, and his two brothers died young, leaving only one legitimate son. If he failed, the title would fall into the hands of the bastard.
His mother just wanted to hold him in the palm of her hand and protect him. As long as he acted wildly and rolled around, his mother and his grandmother would do anything to protect him.
I would often see him bring a big bag of food to school.
Xu Sanbao's threat was very effective, and as expected, no one could compete with him.
Mu Yan took the golden bean and picked it up without any psychological burden.
Although he hesitated for a moment, the entire school treated Xu Sanbao with an innocent heart and treated him sincerely. It would be better if someone else bought him at a high price.
However, the Xu family of Marquis of Yongkang was rich, and Xu Sanbao's mother-in-law's dowry was particularly generous, so her maternal grandfather's family was not short of money either.
Mu Yan looked at the bulging purse around Xu Sanpang's waist and his eyes darkened.
His biological father, now his uncle, seems to have forgotten his son, and also his wife who stayed in the ancestral home in the capital. Not only did he not send flowers back, but the Zhuangzi Field Shop in the capital also went to Yunnan after collecting rent.
Send it to the Hou Mansion.
The prince's mansion requires money, so doesn't his mother and he need to eat and drink?
In addition, all the favors in the capital, the four o'clock and eight festival sacrifices at the ancestral graves on Jiangjun Mountain, and all the clan affairs were all subsidized by his mother's dowry?
Mu Yan touched the golden beans he had just collected in his purse, sat on the chair with a normal expression, spread out the book, and began to sharpen ink.
As for Huo Xi, every morning the family rowed the boat to the ferry in the outer city, and first sent Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu to sell fish, while she and Yang stayed on the boat to soak and wash cloths.
Then at chen shi, I started to take the oranges from Mr. and Mrs. Li who sold oranges to make citric acid liquid.
The day after Huo Xi bought the oranges, Old Man Li's son and daughter-in-law pushed a cart and delivered oranges to Old Man Li and his wife.
Mr. Li and his wife came home and said that they had sold a load of sour oranges, and they even ordered all the oranges at home from them. No one in the family believed it.
Even if I see them getting back a hundred coins, I still don’t believe it.
I'm afraid that others will lure them with the remaining oranges with small profits.
The family picked oranges all night with some hesitation, and then sat in the yard peeling them until midnight.
While peeling the oranges, I was filled with doubts. Who wants to peel the oranges? How long can they be kept? Why do you want to buy them? Even the greedy kids in the family refuse to eat the sour oranges.
Early the next morning, his son and daughter-in-law were afraid that the two old men would be deceived, so they pushed two loads of oranges on a cart and took them to the ferry in the outer city.
It wasn't until they got more than 200 yuan that they believed it.
"Thank you, thank you, then we will skin it again tomorrow and deliver it on time!"
When Old Man Li's son saw his parents taking the coins, he couldn't help but feel excited and promised Huo Xi and Yang repeatedly. Thinking about the hundreds of kilograms of oranges on the tree at home and thinking that the family would get a lot of coins this year, he was very happy.
Endless.
After the family left, Huo Xi worked with Yang to squeeze juice and refine citric acid.
After Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai were picked up, the family divided the work and cooperated.
Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu went to the countryside to collect vegetables, cloth, wine, sell goods along the river, and collect shrimps and crabs. When they had free time, they also set down the fishing nets several times to catch some fish and shrimps. Yang and Huo Xi were only responsible for washing and drying the cloth.
