happy rebirth

Qiulin Academy is built on the middle of the mountain. "Half Mountain" does not refer to the halfway up the mountain, but the name of that mountain.Next to the middle of the mountain is Honglin Mountain.It is probably because the height of Banshan is only half of Honglin Mountain, so it was called Banshan in the first place, right?The person who came up with this name is obviously a bad name.

Besides, Honglin Mountain is called Honglin Mountain because maple trees are all over the mountain, and the maples turn red like fire in autumn.Honglin Mountain is a very famous scenic spot in the suburbs of Beijing, where literati fairs are often held here.And in the autumn season, the nobles also love to come here to play.

Wencao Garden is not far from Honglin Mountain.

Although Qiulin Academy enrolls not many students each year, the college occupies a large area.Several mountains including Banshan Mountain and Honglin Mountain are owned by Qiulin Academy, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land and dozens of manors at the foot of the mountain.The common people at the foot of the mountain have been farming for the academy for generations.

This is the ancient version of real estate predators!

Probably because the money is not bad, not to mention the strong faculty in the academy, the infrastructure here is also very good.When allocating residences, Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua were assigned to a small courtyard.On the day of registration, the college specially arranged for a handyman to guide them.

The academy doesn't care about family background, even if Xie Jinhua is from the Hou Mansion, there is no reason for the teachers to come out to greet him in person.

The handyman who led the way showed no signs of flattery on his face, and while leading Ke Xie and the others to their residence, he articulately introduced them to the various arrangements in the academy.What is the morning wake-up time, what is the bedtime, and what to pay attention to during school... This handyman explained everything in great detail.

In fact, before Ke Qi came to the academy, he deliberately learned about various aspects of information, but now he heard the handyman talk about it, and he didn't think he was too busy.

Although the students are not allowed to bring their own servants, the college will definitely not ask the students to do everything by themselves, so the college hired some handy handymen.They are responsible for cleaning, preparing two meals a day for the students, and helping the students with laundry.

For Ke Qi, who has long been used to self-reliance, life in the academy is like paradise.

However, for Xie Jinhua... every morning when he wakes up, there will be a servant to help him get dressed, and when he wants to wash his face, there will naturally be a maid who prepares a towel and hands it to him. Life in China should be considered hard.

Although Ke Qi has three months of filial piety, he has not yet passed the three-year filial piety period, so he needs to pay special attention to his diet.The servant explained this in detail, and told Ke Qi that he didn't have to go to the canteen when he was eating. Someone would prepare vegetarian food for him, and it would be delivered to his room when the meal was over.

"It really bothered you." Ke Qi said.

The handyman replied respectfully: "My lord, you are welcome. This is a long-standing arrangement in the academy." Studying, reinstatement of officials, hawker business, etc. will not be restricted, but banquets and entertainment are still not allowed, nor can they wear red and green, eat meat and drink.For now, Ke Qi is not the only one who needs to be filial in the academy.

The three of them hadn't reached their residence when a scholar in college uniform walked up to them.

In the academy, family background doesn't seem to be very important, but fame is very important.Because the scholar was already a scholar, the handyman bowed his head and bowed to him.And this scholar is not a person with an arrogant attitude, he greeted him with a light smile, and then went to another path, and walked away in a short time.

The handyman continued the previous topic, and whispered to Ke Qi: "This Ye Xiucai just gave birth to his mother's filial piety two months ago, and he has been eating alone in the room before. If you go over there, you will get a pavilion. There are many books in the library, but the books inside are not allowed to be taken out, they can only be viewed in the pavilion."

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua looked at each other.That Ye Xiucai didn't know them, but they knew him.He is none other than the winner of the first round.They knew that Ye Zhengping was also a student of Qiulin Academy, but they didn't expect to meet him on the first day of school.

Calculating the time according to what the handyman said, when Ye Zhengping participated in the last stop, it was not long after his mother's filial piety.

Ke Qi had a very good impression of Ye Zhengping. Now that he was a classmate of the academy, it was inevitable that he would meet again in the future.He asked calmly: "That Ye Xiucai just now... I don't know what his temperament is. If I want to ask him for advice, I don't know if he will refuse."

A strange expression flashed across the face of the handyman, and he said, "It's a serious matter to learn from each other, and Ye Xiucai will definitely not refuse."

Ke Qi pretended not to see the handyman's expression, and said with a smile, "That's good! I see Ye Xiucai is very gentle, and I think he must be a gentle and generous person."

The handyman wanted to say something, but he also knew that he shouldn't be a talker.However, if he doesn't say anything, he is afraid that Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua will really date Ye Xiucai, so that they will be divided into circles when they first enter school.Even though the academy has always emphasized not to value family background, can Hou Menzi really be offended?The handyman didn't want to curry favor with Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi, but he didn't want to offend them either.

Therefore, the handyman skillfully made a point: "Ye Xiucai is very knowledgeable, but he prefers to be alone on weekdays."

"Is that so? Then I won't bother him too much." Ke Qi said politely.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua looked at each other again.There are many reasons behind his liking to be alone. Since the handyman specially emphasized this point, it shows that Ye Zhengping's popularity in the academy is not good.And this is very strange, Ye Zhengping doesn't look like that kind of person who is very annoying!

Could it be that Ye Zhengping's performance in the academy was so good that people were jealous?

However, the reason why Qiulin Academy is famous is because it is well-deserved.The scholars here may have different temperaments, but it is not likely that most of the scholars are jealous of the virtuous and capable.If Ye Zhengping really didn't like most people, then the problem must be his own.

Xie Jinhua chuckled lightly, and said, "I have always loved quietness, so maybe I have the same temperament as that Ye Xiucai just now."

When the handyman heard this, he felt a little anxious.He really didn't want to tell tales, but he had to say something.Seeing that there was no one around, the handyman lowered his voice again, and said even more quietly: "To be honest, that Ye Xiucai just now has a bad reputation in the academy..."

Ke Qi seemed taken aback, and hurriedly said, "But what's the reason? Please tell us, brother, don't let us do something we shouldn't do when we first entered the academy, and offend someone we shouldn't offend." His tone There is respect for the handyman, and there is no meaning of bossing around.

When Ke Qi said this, the handyman felt a little relieved, and felt that it wasn't because he wanted to be talkative, but that he was just helping the two young masters who had just entered school, so that they would avoid some detours.However, in fact, he couldn't come up with any specific black information, so he could only tell Ke Qi the rumors in the academy, and said: "I don't know what is too specific, but everyone says that Ye Xiucai has some... ungrateful."

Ingratitude is a grave charge!

Soon they reached the residence, and the handyman left after pointing out the room to Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua.Before leaving, Ke Qi specifically asked his name, knowing that his home was at the foot of the mountain, and his name was Chen Niu.Chen Niu only thought that the young masters were really good people, and he was a little flattered!

Ke Qi started packing his luggage.There is a unified regulation in the college to wear school uniforms—in fact, the official name of the clothes is college uniforms—so Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua did not bring too many coats, but Xie Jinhua brought the usual incense and the four treasures of the study, etc. Need to tidy up.

"It's strange that people often say that knowing people and faces but not heart, I almost missed it this time." Ke Qi said while tidying up.

Xie Jinhua was also learning to tidy up. Like a little bee, he chased after Ke Qi and circled around.Although Ke Qi didn't mention his name, Xie Jinhua knew that he was talking about Ye Zhengping.Xie Jinhua said seriously: "I think everyone must have made a mistake. Ye Heng shouldn't be a bad person."

Ke Qi sighed, and said: "I don't think he is a bad person either. But we only met him once, but the people in the college have been with him day and night. If everyone said he was ungrateful, he would If you are not ungrateful, there must be some other problem." It is said that rumors only stop at the wise, and there must not be so many idiots who are easily influenced by public opinion in the academy.Under such circumstances, Ye Zhengping's popularity is still not good.

Xie Jinhua didn't know that he was about to make Ke Qi faint, and continued to walk around the room, seemingly very busy, but in fact, he was always doing more harm than good.

"Maybe there is really some misunderstanding." Xie Jinhua still insisted on his point of view, "Ye Heng is a good person."

Seeing Xie Jinhua's words were so sure, Ke Qi couldn't help asking curiously: "What did you find?"

Xie Jinhua said solemnly: "Is there any doubt about this? Ye Heng is very skilled in calligraphy and painting, how could he be a bad person?"

Ke Qi only felt that his feet were slipping. He thought Xie Jinhua could tell some great truths, but it turned out that this was the reason?Calligraphy and painting are not directly related to character!Picasso's artistic achievements are not high, but his character is really unflattering.There was a corrupt official in the previous dynasty, and his calligraphy and painting works are hard to buy.Oh, and there was a great poet 300 years ago who turned out to be a scumbag who set his friends up.

Ke Qi felt that it was necessary to correct Xie Jinhua's wrong perception.

"According to what you say, I must not be a good person. After all, my handwriting is not as good as Ye Heng's." Ke Qi said.

Xie Jinhua blinked, and said puzzledly: "You always write seriously, how can you be a bad person?"

Seeing that Xie Jinhua spoke very seriously, Ke Qi finally calmed down the turmoil in his heart.He seems to have misunderstood Xie Jinhua. Xie Jinhua does not judge a person's character simply by his calligraphy and painting skills.He seems to have a certain keen intuition in this regard.

"Why did Ke Di demote himself?"

"It must be that I praised Ye Heng too much, an outsider, and it made him feel uncomfortable. He has always worked very hard on weekdays."

"He should be praised more."

"Hey, there is really no way to take him."
