Yingtian Academy is only such a big place, and Xu Zizhen's name spread quickly. Most of the students here already know that there is such a strange new student, who dresses like a driver and talks like a killer.
He's a pig, but he looks like a busker.
Xu Zizhen didn't know that his arrival aroused such great curiosity from others. At this time, he had already completed the admission procedures with Dean Jiang. He had Prince Yun's name sticker and special recruitment letter, plus Dean Jiang's accommodation, everything
It's all extremely smooth.
The academy has a place to stay, called the school building, and Qian Tongzhi and Wen Xian both live here. However, Xu Zizhen naturally lives in his new home. There are many things he can't do, and he might have to ask for leave someday.
Xu Zizhen came to the academy early the next day. Today he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, a short jacket and wooden clogs, showing off his figure easily and attracting countless surprised looks on the way into the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard, that is, Xiuwen Hall is just behind the Minglun Hall yesterday. It is a world of its own, with green trees and warm breeze. The place where classes are held is a large hall with clear windows. Everyone has a desk.
His elementary school and middle school in his previous life were almost the same.
Today's lecture was a detailed exposition of the Tao Te Ching. The lecturer was an old master with white hair and beard. He quoted from classics during the lecture. He was indeed extremely knowledgeable. All the students listened with rapt attention, and no one dared to disturb him.
But such an environment made Yanzhao miserable. He was a solid warrior. Not to mention the Tao Te Ching, he couldn't even recite the Three-Character Classic. No matter how wonderful the old master's lectures were, it was like a heavenly book to him, and he couldn't understand a word of it.
Understand.
What about Xu Zizhen? He was not as good as Yanzhao, because the old master spoke very closely, and he could understand half of a sentence, which was considered good, so after staying up for a short time, he resolutely lay down on the table and went to sleep.
The old master glanced at him and continued teaching without any indication. The dean had already told him that unless Xu Zizhen did something too outrageous, any behavior should be ignored. However, this attracted the attention of all the students in the class.
I was very surprised. You should know that Yingtian Academy has strict academic rules. Even the slightest disrespect will be severely punished, let alone sleeping in class.
Xu Zizhen didn't know anything. He slept while others listened to other people's lectures. It wasn't until the lecture was over two hours later that he stretched out and woke up. He looked around sleepily: "Is get out of class over?"
Yan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't dare to imitate Xu Zizhen, so he had to endure the whole class. His forehead was still aching, and Gu Zhongchen was sitting not far from Xu Zizhen. He put away his stationery and said with a smile: "Old Master Sun didn't reprimand him."
Brother Xu, this is quite strange."
Xu Zizhen smiled without explaining, looked at the sky outside the window, pulled Gu Zhongchen over and asked in a low voice: "Will I have to suffer like this for a while? Can I skip class?"
Gu Zhongchen laughed: "Today there is only Master Sun's class in the morning, there is no class in the afternoon, but it just happens to be a social day."
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as there are no classes, what the hell... today is only the first day, how can we live the rest of the day? What does it mean to have a social day?"
Gu Zhongchen said: "The academy has always not discouraged hundreds of talents. There is a day in each season of spring, summer, autumn and winter as a club day. On this day, students from the inner and outer academy can gather together to recite poems, paint, or talk about the past and the present, in order to achieve communication and integration.
, and if someone’s intelligence and insight can impress the masters in the courtyard, then there will be other rewards. Students from the outer courtyard can be promoted to the inner courtyard, and students from the inner courtyard can receive other rewards."
Xu Zizhen was not interested in this thing and said no more questions. Gu Zhongchen packed up his things and stood up with a smile: "Brother Xu, if you have nothing to do, I don't know if you would like to move to a humble place. I have a few jars of old wine for Brother Xu."
.”
When Xu Zizhen heard that there was wine, he became excited and jumped up immediately: "Let's go, let's go, this is what I like."
The students in the room all watched Xu Zizhen leave with surprised eyes. In their minds, Gu Zhongchen was aloof and aloof. When had he ever been so polite to others? Moreover, this guy could sleep in class without being punished by his master. It was simply
He is a mysterious and legendary figure.
Gu Zhongchen's home is not far away, just over two miles south of the academy. It is located in the middle of a busy city, but because of its sophisticated alleys, it is a quiet place. It is a good place. Xu Zizhen's eyes lit up as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Gu
Do you raise pigeons?”
Gu Zhongchen smiled and said: "Exactly, I have loved this way since I was a child, and I came to Yingtian Mansion to study alone. My family is kind and my family is strict, so I am worried. It is quite convenient for this messenger pigeon to be able to deliver family letters to me."
Xu Zizhen was convinced and followed Gu Zhongchen into the courtyard. Not far away was a row of pigeon cages with dozens of pigeons in them. Their eyes and coat color were of the highest quality, which showed that Gu Zhongchen was still good at raising pigeons.
To some extent, Xu Zizhen grew up in a courtyard in Beijing, and several neighbors around him loved it. It can be said that he grew up listening to pigeon whistles, so he felt this familiar smell as soon as he entered the door.
The two chatted for a while on the topic of pigeons. Yan Zhao followed him all the time and couldn't get in the conversation about pigeons. In his opinion, the best use of this little thing is to put some soy sauce on it and cook it with wine.
Gu Zhongchen's wine was not very good, but it was quite mellow because of its age. After a few glasses of wine, Gu Zhongchen suddenly said: "Brother Xu, now you are a man of the hour in the courtyard. You taught Zhu Shiyang a lesson yesterday."
After a while, this person is narrow-minded, but there are many people who know him in the courtyard. I am afraid that he will find an opportunity to make things difficult for you during the afternoon social day."
Xu Zizhen smiled disdainfully: "Come as you please, as you like."
Gu Zhongchen said sternly: "I want to advise you to avoid him if you can. Although Zhu Shiyang is not a big shot, his uncle has a lot of connections. I heard that...Brother Xu came to the academy to avoid trouble. In this case, Brother Xu is convinced.
You shouldn’t put the person behind you at the forefront.”
These words were very straightforward. Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment and was deeply moved. Speaking of which, he and Gu Zhongchen were just casual acquaintances. They were even jealous of Shui Liuli at first, but now what Gu Zhongchen said can be regarded as speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Words of loyalty.
Xu Zizhen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, patted Gu Zhongchen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Gu, for worrying about these trivial things for me, but some people can't be given up. Just like what I said yesterday, he will push forward as soon as you let him.
, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if anyone wants to provoke me, then I will make him walk around without food."
Gu Zhongchen was stunned, but then he smiled and said: "I'm too worried, brother Xu, how could he be bullied by such a villain? Come on, let's have a drink."
The meal ended with a joyful conversation, and in the afternoon the three of them returned to the academy with a bit of drunkenness, and the social day had already begun.
The bridge that Xu Zizhen passed yesterday is called Zhuangyuan Bridge, and after crossing the bridge is an open square. The social day activities were held here. When the three of them arrived, the square was already bustling with many students from the inner and outer colleges.
People gathered here, either singing in groups and singing about the wind or singing flowers, or setting up another corner to talk loudly.
Gu Zhongchen said: "This is a social day. Brother Xu can walk around as he pleases. If you have something you like, you can share it with us."
Xu Zizhen waved his hands and was about to say something, when a graceful and beautiful woman happened to pass by him. It was the beauty he saw yesterday.
