Magician's Live Stocking Daily [Infinite]

"Have you heard? The Imperial College's chief priest is coming to inspect today."

While the teacher was away, a few students secretly gathered together and chattered.

The girl in the yellow skirt looked left and right, and when no one was paying attention, she secretly dropped a bombshell, which as expected caused a burst of exclamations.

"This is too sudden!"

"Luckily I reviewed the text in advance. Now it's my turn to show off my skills."

"It has to be Miss Song Guichun of the Song Mansion. This is first-hand information." The girl next to her laughed and pushed her: "It was your brother Shen who told you, right?"

The girl in the yellow skirt blushed.

The crowd started to make a fuss again.

"Hey, Zhenzhen."

Song Guichun suddenly thought of the thin girl who had been copying books at her desk, and quickly changed the subject, "I remember that Jijiu and you seem to be from the same place, called some mountain..."

"Hutou Mountain." Shen Zhenzhen continued.

How could I not remember?

Even now, people still go to the Hutoushan Temple, which was built for the gods by order of the king himself, to kneel down and fulfill their vows every day.

Of course she was one of them.

While they were discussing happily, there was a sudden commotion outside the room. The students who had been gathered together discussing in a low voice immediately sat up straight, picked up the books on the table, and began to read with their heads shaking.

Shen Zhenzhen still ignored them and just focused on copying her own book.

Unlike those daughters of noble families, she was just a poor scholar from a mountain village. In her spare time, she always had to copy some books and sell them to supplement her family income.

But she is already very satisfied with her current life.

In the fourth year of the Qingming reign, the emperor issued an order to abolish a series of bans on women, including prohibiting them from taking the imperial examinations and engaging in business.

Lady Jijiu was one of the first female students to enter the Imperial College. She was intelligent and hardworking, and she always ranked first in the annual examinations. This is how she rose rapidly all the way to her current position.

If it weren't for their persistence, I might have married early, getting up early and going to bed late, my daily life would be spent cooking for the family.

And now, she has bigger dreams!

As I was thinking about it, my vision suddenly darkened.

Shen Zhenzhen raised her head and saw the elder in the same window standing in front of her desk, bending over, carefully reading the book she had just copied.

After a long while, the chief priest finally nodded, his tone gentle but not without severity: "The handwriting is well copied."

"only--"

She stretched out her hand and drew a circle on the word "越":

"The stroke on the upper right is too light."

I didn't expect the chief priest to look at it so carefully. Shen Zhenzhen glanced at the barely visible spot and apologized quickly: "My disciple's copying was not detailed enough. I will definitely correct it."

After not getting a response for a long time, she boldly looked up.

Against the light, Shen Zhenzhen saw the sunlight falling on the elder's gray hair, and in the dim light, there seemed to be flashes of golden light.

Perhaps the midsummer sun was too dazzling, she thought, otherwise why would she see the priest, whose eyes were always clear and bright, half-closed his eyes and stared at a single word.

She looked and looked.

It seems as if it is looking at something else through the word "越".

This thing must be very important. Shen Zhenzhen thought again and rubbed her eyes.

This time, she clearly saw a hint of cherishment and nostalgia in the slightly red eyes of the chief priest.

Until the class was over, the classmates were still discussing this little episode.

Shen Zhenzhen finally put down her pen, rubbed her sore arms, and let out a long sigh.

The book was finally copied, and she had to organize it and send it to the bookstore to exchange for some silver to buy some food.

As the sun sets, the rest of the people have basically left in groups of three or five, and the lively discussions are gradually fading away.

"Guichun! Wait for me, I want to test you. Do you know what the name of the Lord Jijiu is?"

"Haha. This won't be difficult for me." A clear voice came from afar:

"The Imperial Academy's chief academic officer, his name is Chen Yu, and his courtesy name is Yueshan."

Under the eaves, Chen Yu was standing in the corner, watching the children making noises and laughing, with a hint of a smile on his face.

She recalled the evening when she last saw the immortal, and she finally asked the question that had troubled her for many years:

"What do you think is on the other side of the mountain?"

As soon as she said it, she felt a little regretful. She felt that this question was really stupid.

What could be on the other side of the mountain? Just endless mountains.

But for some reason, she really felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

The fairy sister did not laugh at her, but smiled gently, then touched her head, her eyes shining, and her voice full of encouragement:

"On the other side of the mountain, there are mountains, water, delicious food, and a different life..."

"Would you like to see it?"

Since the day she met you, the little girl who picked herbs to earn tuition fees finally determined her first arduous goal in life——

Climb over this mountain.

Perhaps only I know how much effort I put in to complete the last stroke of "越".

But fortunately, I succeeded.
