The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Hai took the lead in writing and serving ink, and took Jiang to pack his bedding and clothes, as well as odds and ends, such as handkerchiefs, sweat towels, purses, and sachets, and sat down. The carriage arrived at the Six Arts Academy.

The accommodation conditions of Six Arts Academy are much better than those of modern universities, one room per person, and all of them are facing the sun.Lin Hai thought that he came early, but he didn't expect that there was someone earlier than him. After nodding with Luo Xiang, Lin Hai walked into the room.

There is a main room with beds and wardrobes; there are two side rooms next to it, the one on the left is the study, and the one on the right is the living room.Compared with the Yingluo courtyard in Linfu Linhai, it is naturally too small to be smaller, but compared with the modern house, it is more than enough, so he ordered the book servant Mo to pack up the things he brought!

There were only four of them admitted this year, and the age gap was not too big. The oldest was Li Xin, who was 13 years old, followed by Zhao Xuan, who was 12 years old. Luo Xiang and Lin Hai were both 10 years old, so Luo Xiang was two years older than Lin Hai. moon.Therefore, the Six Arts Academy did not divide them into classes. Some of them were admitted in the past few years, but the age gap in the same year was too large. This trouble.

They should have been admitted in the same year, lived together, and attended classes together. After the first day, the four of them became acquainted!

Among the four, Lin Hai's family background is the oldest, but Zhao Xuan's family background is the best, mainly because the imperial concubine who has been standing strong in the palace is the sister of Zhao Xuan's grandmother.You must know that in this era, as long as you have a relationship with the people in the palace, you will add the word "expensive" to others.

But what reassures the other three is that the Concubine Gui and the Zhao family are both scholarly families. If the Zhao family is like the four kings and eight families of the founding heroes, the other three will have to consider whether to keep a certain distance from Zhao Xuan .

Although, I heard that it is very powerful and vulgar, but basically it is the same thing. Although power is very good, life is more important.On the battlefield, if your decision is wrong, at most you will die alone.But if he made a wrong step in the officialdom, the whole family might be ruined.We can't help but be careless.

On the first day of school at Six Arts Academy, there is class. There is no so-called opening ceremony these days, and the teacher in the first class said a few words in a meaningful way, such as being loyal to the king and serving the country, studying hard, and making progress every day. That's about it.

After class, Lin Hai proposed the idea of ​​having dinner together. Chinese people like to put everything on the wine table. Having a meal is the easiest way to build a good relationship, so the other three agreed without thinking.

Although the Six Arts Academy provides food, accommodation and clothing, the food is the legendary big pot rice, which can fill you up, but the taste cannot be guaranteed. In addition, there are few condiments these days, and it has never been considered cheap. , if a rich family is a good cook and can afford all kinds of spices, the kitchen usually has broth or something fresh.However, in places like Six Arts Academy, meals are provided free of charge to teachers and students, and naturally there are only a few simple condiments. Therefore, Lin Hai, who is used to Lin Mansion's food, has been unable to eat this big pot meal for a long time.

Of course, if you don't want to eat this big pot of rice, that's fine too. If you spend some money, the kitchen steward will also give you a small stove. Rich people usually solve it like this.Those who are cash-strapped have no choice but to continue to endure. Of course, for these cash-strapped people, the food at home may not be as good as the one in the academy. Therefore, most people have no objection to this.

It was the first time for the four of them to eat together, so it was natural to ask the steward to start a small meal.But it's not good to treat yourself, let alone being treated by others, so Lin Hai suggested that everyone should make aa, and no one should owe favors to anyone.

So they each paid a tael of silver, and asked people to go to the small stove in the kitchen to order a few dishes, and Lin Hai asked Nong Mo to take a few tens of pennies to buy some pickled plums.This pickled plum was made by a woman in charge of the kitchen. It tastes very good. It can be regarded as the best food in Six Arts Academy. Everyone who goes up to the mountain and goes down to do odd jobs likes to eat it.Lin Hai also coveted this for a long time!

After waiting for Nongmo to buy pickled plums, the atmosphere became lively.

Li Xin pointed at the pickled plums and said with a smile: "I wonder, where did Brother Lin go? It turned out that he bought these pickled plums! If you want to say that these pickled plums are the best in the hot summer. After tasting it all those years ago , brother, I still remember how to taste it..." As he spoke, he picked up a plum and put it in his mouth, and then, he narrowed his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

Lin Hai put one in his mouth, and couldn't help squinting his eyes. The taste of this pickled plum is really delicious. "I heard from Brother Zhao, it seems that I have eaten it before..."

"Where is it, my eldest cousin is also a student of the Six Arts Academy. When I was young, I was lucky enough to eat the pickled plums he brought back from the academy." Li Xin said with a smile.

The three suddenly realized that Li Xin's mother was from the Fan family in Lingyang. The Fan family in Lingyang is a scholarly family that has been passed down for more than 300 years. Although it is not well-known in the north, it is quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Less Scholars.

"So that's how it is," Lin Hai said with a smile, "My little brother is a heavy eater. I've heard of the name of pickled plums in the academy, and today I tasted them, and they are really delicious."

"The sage said: 'A gentleman is far away from the cook', but he didn't talk about food. I have known the name of this pickled plum for a long time, but I tasted it today because of brother Lin's honor." Zhao Xuan twisted a plum and put it in his mouth , Eat it with relish.

"Brother Zhao, you're being polite." Lin Hai smiled slightly, and joked that the pickled plums are not expensive, but they are more expensive because they are only sold in Six Arts Academy.His Zhao Xuan's family is not a pauper, so how can he get rich from him.

"Well, everyone, you are welcome. It is a kind of fate that the four of us can get together here. Drinking alcohol is not allowed in the academy, so I will toast the three of you with tea instead of wine. I came to celebrate that we have all been admitted to the academy. Secondly, we have become acquainted, and if there is anything wrong with me in the future, please forgive me." Li Xin raised his teacup and respected the three of them.

The three of Lin Hai quickly picked up their teacups and said repeatedly: "Brother Li, you are welcome!"

While the four of them were talking, the food from Xiaozao was ready and delivered!The four of them ate the pickled plums, and they were having a great appetite at the moment, so they were not polite at the moment, picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Since there was still class the next day, the four of them ate their meals, chatted and laughed for a while, and then went back to their rooms to wash and rest.
