Chapter 231 231. Huaiyuan Academy
"Madam is right."
Cheng Xi gave him an "I knew it" look. Think about who doesn't live every day in college. Wandering around every corner of the school, the number of steps taken during the school day will increase by thousands, okay?
There are indeed many steps going up to Huaiyuan Academy, but for the two of them today, this amount of exercise is really nothing, and they reached the end in a short time.
Standing halfway up the mountain, Cheng Xi turned back and looked down, feeling suddenly relieved.
Could it be that this is the benefit of building steps, so that students can experience the feeling of standing on a high place and looking down in advance?
Thinking like this, she followed Shen Xingluo into the real gate of the academy. The scene in front of her suddenly became clear, and there were indeed many roads inside the academy as she thought.
"This is a place for students to rest. Huaiyuan Academy is a boarding school. Even students who live at the foot of the mountain need to live in the dormitory every day. In front of it is the library"
The ancients emphasized the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and students had to study many courses. Lin'an Prefecture's students and academies are world-famous, so there are many scholars from all over the country.
It is really not an exaggeration to say that it encompasses students from all over the world.
Cheng Xi silently looked to his side, so he was really not an ordinary monster for being the first among the Yangyang students.
“There are three hundred students in your group alone?”
“Yes, most of them participated in Qiuwei last year, and about 130 people passed the examination.”
< br>"." This number is a bit too much.
In ancient times, scholars were only one in a hundred. Take Shenjiacun, for example, there were only two scholars. This shows how precious scholars are. Such an academy has 300 people in the same batch, and half of them are candidates, which is absolutely unbelievable.
Cheng Xi once again expressed his respect for Huaiyuan Academy.
"How many levels of students are here?"
"Level 3, starting from 6 to 10 years old, exposure to imperial examination books from 10 to 15 years old, most people above 15 years old have failed."
< br>Shen Xingluo stopped and said, "We are here. If Madam is interested in the riding and shooting range, we can go shopping later." "Okay, if it's still early in the day."
Cheng Xi followed him and stood in front of a courtyard. After knocking on the door, a boy came out.
"Mr. Shen? Why are you here!"
"I brought my wife to visit me today. I am here to serve as a secretary. Is Mr. Du here?"
"Yes, I am. Mr. Shen was receiving guests in the front yard. It turned out that this was Mrs. Shen. You two, please come in first, I will report it to the gentleman right away.”
The boy named Shishu was very polite. Perhaps it was because Shen Xingluo was injured that it caused too much trouble. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn’t help it. He glanced to his side from the corner of his eye, the surprise in his eyes almost unbearable.
Shen Xingluo's expression didn't change, and Cheng Xi naturally didn't say a word to remind him. The boy could only hold it in secretly, served tea to the two of them, and then exited the living room to report to the master.
“You scared that little boy serving as the bookkeeper quite a bit.”
“I thought he looked more scary before?”
Cheng Xi went to see that he was intact as before. The profile of his face suddenly became happy, "Maybe I am attracted by your appearance?"
"."
Shen Xingluo froze in place while drinking tea and sighed helplessly.
The servant returned quickly, "Master Shen, Mrs. Shen, sir, please move to the living room."
The two stood up, followed him, and turned around. They arrived at their destination in the corridor, but Cheng Xi was surprised when he saw clearly the three people sitting inside.
Mr. Jiang, Fu Chenglan, and an old man with gray hair and elegant clothes.
