Ginkgo House happened to be next to the new dormitory they were assigned to.

It is probably because Yunshan Academy occupies a very large area, and the arrangement of dormitories is very loose. There is a path decorated with lush flowers and plants between the courtyards.

It took only 3 minutes to walk from Su Yan's dormitory to Ginkgo House.

This luck is too good!Su Yan was delighted.

Not only can I live with familiar and easy-to-get-together friends, but the new dormitory I just allocated is next to the dormitory of my second brother and the male god.In this way, firstly, when there is something to do, you can quickly go to the next door to ask your second brother Su Yu for advice, and secondly, you can also appreciate the beauty of the male god at close range, and get his halo of learning god.

The courtyard door of Ginkgo House has obviously been renovated. It is much tighter and stronger than Su Yan's small wooden door, and there is also a lock on it that looks very shocking.

Su Yu took out the key and opened the courtyard door, allowing Su Yan and the others to visit.

This is also a yard about the size of their new dormitory, with blue tiles and white walls, and the corners and corners are all neatly and beautifully repaired, making it comfortable and pleasant to look at.

The tall ginkgo tree that can be seen from a distance stands beside the courtyard wall, and there is a small wooden desk and a few rocking chairs under the ginkgo tree.

At this moment, Xiao Bai was lazily resting on a rocking chair.Hearing the sound of someone opening the door, Xiao Bai slightly opened his big amber eyes, and glanced at the door dissatisfied.

As if smelling the breath of the shit-shoveling officer, Xiao Bai straightened up, jumped off the rocking chair, and ran towards Su Yan.

Su Yan bent down hurriedly, Xiaobai nimbly got into his arms, turned his small body over, exposed his belly, let the excrement shoveler serve him, and scratched his belly for the cat owner.

Xiaobai glanced proudly at Lu Xianzhi inadvertently.

Seeing this, Lu Xianzhi slightly raised his eyelids, his face remained calm.

After Su Yu sought permission from Lu Xianzhi and Song Ziyi, he led four freshmen into the room to visit.

This room is about the same size as the room in their dormitory, with four wing rooms.

But because only three people lived in Ginkgo House, the outermost room was transformed into a reception hall.

They also built a spacious bathroom and a simple small kitchen at the back of the wing.The latrine is a little farther away, and a bluestone path is paved leading to the latrine.

Su Yan compared the Ginkgo Zhai with the new courtyard that he had just been allocated with almost nothing, and couldn't help but be very envious of the Ginkgo Zhai, which has a complete kitchen and bathroom.This is really convenient, you can get rid of the trouble of going to the public bathhouse to take a bath, and you don't have to go all the way to the public toilet when you are in a hurry.

The entire courtyard and rooms of Ginkgo House are furnished in a simple and beautiful way, elegant and grand.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. Su Yan couldn't think of a better arrangement.

Su Yu looked at his little brother's envious eyes and slightly hooked his lips.

"How?" Song Ziyi looked at Song Zixiu and the others tenderly, "If I think it's okay, I'll ask the servants to reform you according to Gingkozhai, how about it?"

Song Zixiu looked around and nodded.

Su Yan, Zhou Yunwen, and Xie Linfeng also thanked Song Ziyi.

Su Yan secretly speculated that if other students came to visit their dormitory in the future, they would definitely scream and want to be friends with the rich second generation Song Zixiu.

"Let's go, it's almost time for lunch." Su Yu looked at them and said with a smile: "After climbing the mountain and passing the test, I'm already hungry? Now take you little guys to the cloud The public chef of Shan Academy, and then I will take you around in Yunshan Academy to get to know the way. After that, I have to remember the location of each place by myself."

Originally, it was good that the second brother didn't mention it, but when it came to eating lunch, Su Yan's stomach growled belatedly.

He also really wanted to know how the food in Yunshan Academy was, after all, it should be a big pot to provide meals for so many students.

If the food in Yunshan Academy is not good, then he has to find a way to improve his own food level, Su Yan thought to himself.

At this time, the school boy and servant of the four of them also learned from Guanshi Meng the location of the dormitory that the young master was assigned to, and arrived in a carriage with luggage.

Song Ziyi asked them to clean up the new courtyard, and carefully asked Song Zixiu's book boy Zhiqi to find the lacquered wooden lunch box and chopsticks that had been prepared for them earlier.

Seeing this, Su Yan had to feel again that it was no wonder that the Song family's business could grow bigger and stronger. Song Ziyi must have been influenced by his father's teachings, and he was extremely generous and proper in doing things.

It's not easy to take Xiaobai to the public kitchen to attract attention, so Su Yan temporarily entrusts Xiaobai to Ji Shi's care.

Yunshan Academy does not provide tableware, but only provides dishes at meals. Students need to bring their own tableware to eat in the public kitchen of the academy.

Su Yan found this feeling of carrying a lunch box to the cafeteria to eat a meal very novel.

Su Yu led them through many small courtyards.

It seems that this area is the dormitory of the students, Su Yan secretly noted down the location on the map as he walked.

Lu Xianzhi looked at Su Yan's earnest appearance of lowering his head to check the location, and couldn't help but said: "The layout of Yunshan Academy seems to be scattered, but in fact there are rules to follow. The outermost fan-shaped piece facing the Xiangjiang River is the student's dormitory. Generally, three to four people live together in a house, which is the small courtyards you saw just now, and most of these courtyards are arranged in a grid pattern facing south."

"Now we are passing the most spacious road. At one end is the public kitchen, and at the other end is the Confucian Temple. The entrance ceremony and other ceremonies are held in the venue in front of the Confucian Temple. On one side of this road is the dormitory of the students. On the other side are classrooms, lecture halls, school grounds, library buildings and other places for future study. The courtyard where the masters live is located on the side of the mountain across the lecture hall. There are some houses outside the gate of Yunshan Academy, which are the residences of book boys and servants. The place."

Lu Xianzhi spoke neither fast nor slow, with a leisurely rhythm and neither high nor low tone, which was extremely comfortable to listen to.His clear and lingling voice is like a ring.Hearing what he said, Su Yan looked at the map, and it was indeed the case. In this way, it was easy to remember the various locations of the academy.

They also saw other students along the way. Some of them had changed into the uniform they wore for the academy ceremony early on, with a white robe, a round neck and large sleeves, and a black scarf on their heads.

A student who was familiar with Su Yu and the others stopped and greeted each other when they met them.

After about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the public kitchen of Yunshan Academy.

Su Yan looked at the cafeteria of Yunshan Academy with great interest. It was a large and spacious room with bright and clean windows, and some fresh plants were placed on the window sills for decoration.Through the window, you can see rows of long wooden tables and long wooden chairs neatly arranged in the middle of the room.

A pool was specially built outside the house, and several large wooden spoons were placed beside the pool to scoop water for the students who had meals and wash their hands.

Su Yan and his party washed their hands and entered the public kitchen.

It was meal time at this time, and some students had already prepared meals and were sitting on the bench eating lunch.

On the far right side of the room is a row of large wooden basins with lids, which contain all kinds of dishes, both meat and vegetables.

When the flow of people is high, the lids of the big wooden basins are opened for the students to choose; when there are fewer people and the desert cools down, in order to prevent the food from getting cold, the lids of the wooden basins will be covered.

The students carrying their lunch boxes lined up and walked from one end to the other to choose the meals they wanted.If you choose the food you want to eat, you will signal to the cook in a turban standing behind the big wooden basin to scoop a spoonful of food into your lunch box.

Su Yan carried his own lunch box and looked along the row of large wooden basins with their lids lifted.The variety of these dishes can be said to be rich, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition.

As a well-known academy that students do not need to pay any fees for enrolment, Yunshan Academy has its own large school field at the foot of the mountain, which is self-sufficient, and sometimes receives donations from various wealthy families. The various facilities of the academy can be called first-class The conscience of the industry.

However, Su Yan felt a big gap in his heart when he was used to the exquisite dishes prepared by chefs at home and looked at the big pot dishes in the cafeteria.

He watched his second brother Su Yu choose his lunch without changing his face, and sighed in his heart, that's all, let's think about how to start a small stove and consider the possibility of takeaway later.

After everyone finished cooking, they found a long empty table and sat together.

Su Yan chose braised eggplant, stir-fried sprouts, and fried pork with chili.

This dish does not look very good when it is piled up in a big wooden basin, but it is neatly stacked behind the lunch box, and the ornamental value is instantly improved.

Bright green peppers, small sauce-colored meat slices, tender white Chinese cabbage, and purple-red eggplant are covered on the white and full-grained rice, which looks decent.

Su Yansi took a few sips politely, and the taste was actually not bad!

Perhaps it was because the mountain climbing and the test really emptied the storage in the stomach, Su Yan and his four freshmen buried their heads in eating, but they all ate clean.

Su Yan patted his stomach contentedly after eating, and quietly burped.

Sitting next to him and seeing this scene, Lu Xianzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly inadvertently, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

"Do you guys remember this place in the future? Just eat here for morning, lunch, and dinner every day." Song Ziyi also finished eating. He took out a square towel and wiped his mouth gracefully, then said: " If you get tired of eating, you can also ask the book boy to go down the mountain to buy some snacks to satisfy your hunger."

The four freshmen nodded obediently after hearing this.

After the meal, Su Yu took them to the study area for a stroll.

It has just entered autumn at this time, and the verdant trees in the academy set off the autumn scenery, the old trees are sparse, and the scenery is gloomy.

When they went to the classroom, they could see students who were studying by themselves through the windows. When they went to the library, they also saw hard-working students searching for books and studying hard in the library.

Looking all the way, Su Yan felt the profound heritage of this ancient and long academy even more.

They returned to the dormitory after shopping, and Su Yan saw that Ji Shi had already arranged his room, spread the bedding, and hung up the gauze curtain thoughtfully.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

"Who is it?" Xie Linfeng yelled, and ran out first, bouncing around.He opened the courtyard door and saw a carriage with the academy logo parked at the door.

From the looks of it, it seems that the Saifu from the academy that Manager Meng mentioned earlier came to inform about the entrance ceremony?

"The husband is here!" Xie Linfeng shouted into the courtyard.

Su Yan, Zhou Yunwen, and Song Zixiu also came to the gate of the courtyard together.

At this time, a little boy jumped out of the carriage, Xie Linfeng saw the boy's appearance, stepped forward and said: "It's you?!"

"Hey! Congratulations, gentlemen, for successfully enrolling in Yunshan Academy!" The little boy was not surprised to be recognized by him, and congratulated Su Yan and the others generously.

The boy was still dressed in plain, neat and straight clothes, but after Su Yan had been to the public kitchen of Yunshan Academy, he knew that this was the uniform uniform of the servants of Yunshan Academy.

This little boy was still able to drive around the student's dormitory freely in a carriage with the logo of Yunshan Academy. It seemed that this little boy was really the student boy of a master of Yunshan Academy as he said.

A thought suddenly flashed in Su Yan's mind: Could it be that the boy's reselling of exam questions on the way up the mountain is also one of the tests of the academy?

"You wait, I have to expose you to the master of the academy! There will be a fart test question in the later test!" Xie Linfeng looked proud that he had caught your kid.

The little boy grinned and made a face at him, and then said seriously: "If you guys really bought the so-called today's exam questions from me at that time, then you would not be standing here at this time."

Seeing the suddenly enlightened expressions on their faces, the little boy laughed jokingly and said, "This is the first three lessons that every student in Yunshan Academy must go through before entering school!"

Su Yan recalled that the first lesson should refer to what the old master said before going up the mountain, "A gentleman should be responsible for his own choices and actions." The second lesson should be the little boy he met on the way up the mountain, telling the students that a gentleman is magnanimous "True character and virtue are the foundation of one's life; real talents and real learning are the foundation of one's career." The third lesson is to face the various tests of Yunshan Academy's masters, and to adapt to the situation and show one's own demeanor.

The little boy sized up the figures of Su Yan and the others, and returned to the carriage to find four sets of brand new and neat courtyard robes and handed them to them.

"This is the robe worn by the Academy when holding ceremonies." The little boy pointed to the white robe with round neck and large sleeves, and continued: "On weekdays, you can wear your own clothes. Three days later, the freshmen of Yunshan Academy will enter Grand ceremony, please remember to wear this courtyard robe, and rush to the square in front of the Confucian Temple of the academy before the hour."

The little boy left after explaining.

Several people went back to their room to try on the courtyard robes, and came out after putting them on, impatient to see the effect of their dressing in the eyes of others.

Xie Linfeng did not forget to transfer his fan to the sleeve of the courtyard robe. He watched the other three get dressed and nodded appreciatively.

The four of them were all tall and handsome boys with outstanding looks. Wearing this white round-neck and long-sleeved robe, they really had the air of a refined scholar.

"Hey, that's right! What's the name of our dormitory?" Xie Lin fanned the fan, suddenly thought of this, and snapped the fan shut.

"Osmanthus Hall? Osmanthus House?" Su Yan suggested in a low voice.

Song Zixiu glanced at Xiaobai who was lying on the chair, then at the Ginkgo House next door, and finally stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard of his dormitory, hesitant to laugh or cry.

"Osmanthus candy? It sounds soft and sweet!" Xie Linfeng dismissed it. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, slapped his fan, and said with great interest, "Why don't we call it Xia Ke Ju?"

He looked at his friends expectantly.

Su Yan looked at his excited little eyes and felt emotional in his heart.

Good guy, even though I'm a waste of a name, you're not much better than me!

Song Zixiu couldn't bear to look directly at him.

He couldn't imagine that his classmates would ask later, "What's the name of your dormitory?" Xie Linfeng held a fan in his mouth and made a gesture of a big roc spreading his wings, and smiled charmingly: "That's true for a knight!"

Song Zixiu couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his chest.

Zhou Yunwen thought for a while, and said: "Our dormitory is also on the top of Yunshan Mountain, beside the Xiangshui River. How about calling it Yunxiangju?"

"Hey, it doesn't sound as good as a chivalrous man!" Xie Linfeng dismissed.

Seeing that Xie Linfeng had been thinking about his "Xia Keju" all the time, the other three felt helpless.

Zhou Yunwen planned to give up: "Xiakeju is just Xiakeju, the name doesn't matter."

Song Zixiu still looked dissatisfied with the name.

Su Yan didn't want to see that the first battle in the dormitory would start because of this name. He thought of something, and suggested: "How about we each write three characters on three pieces of paper, crumpling the paper into The groups are mixed together. The last person draws a word, and the name can be called according to the name drawn at the end.”

"It's so good! It's elegant!" Song Zixiu gave Su Yan admiringly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Su Yan went into the room and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked everyone to take turns writing.

He was thinking about what to write, but the name was useless. After thinking of a few names, it was not as good as "Osmanthus Zhai", so Su Yan simply wrote these three words with a pen.

After all four of them finished writing, they put a pile of paper balls on the table.

"Let's just follow the order in which we went in at the head of the mountain this morning, and take turns to draw one by one?" Su Yan looked at everyone and got the unanimous consent of the three.

Xie Linfeng was the first.

I saw that he stretched his muscles and bones before pumping, picked up a fan and fiddled with it, and then stretched out his hand to smoke a ball of paper.

Xie Linfeng slowly unfolded the piece of paper, and everyone leaned forward to look at it, only to see the word "Qing" written on it in capital letters.

"I wrote it." Zhou Yunwen smiled and took the initiative to claim it.

"Oh." Xie Linfeng sighed.

Afterwards, Zhou Yunwen took out a ball of paper neatly, unfolded it, and found that it was the word "Gui".

Hey, little brother, I got him to write this.Before Su Yan could say it this time, everyone looked at him, and he nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Qing Gui, it's alright." Song Zixiu muttered in a low voice, reached out and picked up a ball of paper, opened it and saw that it was the word "Ya" written by himself.

"I wrote the word 'Ya'." He shook the note in his hand.

In the end it was Su Yan, and everyone stared intently at his outstretched white fingers.

Seeing this, Su Yan wanted to laugh, so he also chose a ball of paper at random, unfolded it, and there was a scribbled "Ju" character.

"Mine! Mine!" Xie Linfeng quickly claimed it.

When he first saw this strange handwriting, Su Yan guessed that it was Xie Linfeng's handwriting. After all, he had seen Zhou Yunwen's and Song Zixiu's handwriting.

"Qing, Gui, Ya, Ju." Zhou Yunwen spat out the name of the last dormitory word by word, "It just so happens that everyone got the name of one of us, which is considered fate."

"Qinggui Yaju, it's not bad." Song Zixiu heaved a sigh of relief, accepting the name.

Although Xie Linfeng still felt that "Xia Keju" was more in line with his temperament, but he was not a person who would contradict his promise, and agreed to the name.

"I can ask the servants to get a plaque to hang the name of this dormitory at the door." Song Zixiu clenched his right fist and hammered it into the palm of his left.

"Or we can write the inscriptions ourselves, and each of us writes the words we have been drawn!" Xie Linfeng suggested cheerfully, as if he had sensed the fun of the game.

"It's also quite interesting." Su Yan agreed, everyone's handwriting is not bad, and the name I wrote is also very meaningful.

Zhou Yunwen and Song Zixiu also nodded.

The servants of the Song family worked very quickly, and they went up the mountain to renovate their new dormitory the next day, so "Qinggui Yaju" was transformed into a comfortable courtyard with a kitchen and bathroom.

The plaque written by the four of them by themselves was quickly completed and hung on the gate of the courtyard.

......

"Hey! Hurry up!"

The four of Su Yan were wearing white round-neck long-sleeved gowns and black Confucian scarves on their heads, running on the road from the public kitchen of the academy to the Confucius Temple.

"Finally we're here." Song Zixiu bent down out of breath, pressing his hands on his knees.

"It's okay! It hasn't started yet." Su Yan looked at the bustling crowd around him, and led his friends towards a group of obviously younger students in the square.

"Excuse me, is this where the newly admitted students stand?" Su Yan asked politely when he saw the young boy with a gentle face.

"Yes, that's right!" The young man was also very enthusiastic, showing his big white teeth with a smile, and introduced himself: "Fan Kangcheng, whose name is Minjun, is from Yunzhou."

"Brother Min Jun. I'm Su Yan, a native of Fujian, Jiangling Prefecture." Su Yan also smiled slightly.

Then the other four introduced themselves to each other.

This Fan Kangcheng is a native of Yunzhou, his father is a squire in Yunzhou, and he himself is No.5 in the Huxiang Mansion Court Examination this year.Huxiang Mansion is also a great place for imperial examinations with outstanding people and talented people. Being able to get No.5 in the Huxiang Mansion Examination is enough to show that Fan Kangcheng has extraordinary knowledge.

Yunshan Academy is really a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Su Yan sighed silently.

"A master came here just now, let us freshmen stand here." Fan Kangcheng is an enthusiastic young man with a smile on his face.

He smiled and said to Su Yan and the others: "I checked, and there are about 30 freshmen in our class."

Su Yan looked at the freshmen gathered together, and everyone was introducing and chatting with each other.

"Are you in the same dormitory?" Fan Kangcheng looked at the four of Su Yan enviously, feeling that they looked very familiar and had a good relationship.

"Yes! We only came here three days ago." Su Yan replied, he was also a little curious why Fan Kangcheng was standing alone.

As if seeing Su Yan's curious expression, Fan Kangcheng confessed generously: "Actually, my home is not far from the foot of Yunshan Mountain. The recommendation letter that my father asked him for in the same year arrived yesterday, so I just came yesterday. Shan Academy, I didn’t meet anyone else on the road.”

He shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless smile: "You also know the rules of Yunshan Academy's dormitory allocation, and I live alone!"

However, there was no complaint on Fan Kangcheng's face, more of a kind of free and easy, which made Su Yan and the others even more fond of him.

"Lone ranger, brother!" Xie Linfeng patted Fan Kangcheng's shoulder familiarly, and praised: "Single-handedly, with one ten!"

Fan Kangcheng smiled heartily.

"Hey, by the way, when you first entered school, you accepted the test of the head of the mountain. What was your test?" Fan Kangcheng asked, and then told his own experience.

"I was bitten by a bee in that room for several minutes. I held back my eyes and remained motionless with my eyes closed." He patted his chest with lingering fear and said, "I was bitten at that time, and my whole body was itchy. However When the head of the mountain told me that I could go out, the biting sensation disappeared instantly. It is amazing!"

"As expected of Mr. An He!" Fan Kangcheng exclaimed.

Su Yan was a little surprised, so there was still a physical test? !

He thought that even if other people's tests were different, they were just chatting.

Su Yan imagined that he was bitten by some unknown insect, and his whole body trembled. Even if he knew it was fake, he would feel a shock in his heart.

Fortunately, he did not encounter this problem.

Su Yan glanced at Fan Kangcheng's sturdy figure, maybe Mr. An He saw everyone's preference?

"As expected of Mr. An He!" Su Yan also agreed.

The author has something to say: Hey, I've grown thick!

Little cuties, please continue to support me!bow!What!
