Chapter 8 A Sigh (for further reading)
There are sixteen rooms in each of the two studios of Weijing Academy.

After crossing Zhaimen, you can see the main hall plaque with "Baekuitang" hanging on it.This is taken from the eight characters of "Nayu Baikui, Baikui Shixu" in Shangshu, which means that Rixinzhai focuses on practical learning and at the same time has the ideal of climbing the temple.

(Baikui refers to Pepsi and Zaizhi.)
In front of the hall, there is a half-acre square pond where koi are raised.

There are three lecture halls on the left and right of the main hall, all facing Ruoyi to the south, and four couplets in the dormitory rooms to the east and west.In the backyard, there are also other buildings such as shooting gardens, kitchens, and huts.

Room No. [-] can be used by scholars studying in the Academy.

The three liang of silver paid by Wang Jiaoxi to Xu Xing not only includes the tuition fee for studying, the meal fee for studying in the academy, but also the rental fee for staying in the academy.

Xu Xing took the voucher for staying in the dormitory.

Zhaifu is an old man, surnamed Zheng, and he is very enthusiastic. He heard from Wang Jiaoxi that Xu Xing was born in a bitter cold, so he decided to give Xu Xing the spare quilt from the academy, put it on his shoulder, and accompanied him to the dormitory.

Weijing Academy was built by the inspector of the Qin Province, and many gentry nearby donated tuition fees.

No shortage of money.

In the face of poor students, there are donations from time to time.

The dormitory is Datongpu, and two students have already moved in at this time.

As soon as Xu Xing opened the door and approached the dormitory, he saw a tall young man with a square face half lying on the bed, leaning on the railing beside the bed with his legs crossed, holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto.He squinted, and on the cover of the book was "Flying Flowers and Lovely Thoughts".

It's a gaudy forbidden book!

Zheng Zhaifu stepped forward and said a few words to the young man.

The young man then closed the book, got out of bed and straightened his clothes, bowed to Xu Xing and announced his name.

The young man's name is Chen Jian'an, and his family lives in Hu County near Chang'an. His father is a well-known medicinal material merchant in the local area.

Most of the scholars who can come to Weijing Academy to study are from wealthy families.

Chen Jian'an's background is very common among the many scholars in Weijing Academy.

Even though people at the time said that "in the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people" and "the noble officials are so cold, and the public officials are not virtuous", but it is simply unaffordable for an ordinary family to support a full-time scholar.

"Brother Xu, if you want to buy medicine, just tell me, it will be [-]% cheaper if you come to my place."

Chen Jian'an tidied up the bed, and casually put a few books under his ribs.Then he walked straight out of the dormitory and walked in the direction of the lecture hall.At the time of parting, he smiled and said such words to Xu Xing.

After a while, it will be the evening class at the academy.

"The other one went home to attend the funeral."

"It is estimated that I will not be able to return to the academy until next month..."

Zheng Zhaifu explained the whereabouts of the other person in the house.

"I see."

Hearing this, Xu Xing suppressed his plan to make another classmate.

After the four characters [Destiny of Death] collapsed and scattered, his [Fate] did not condense a new one for a long time.But on the way to make friends with Chen Jian'an just now, the condensation speed of his [Fate] actually accelerated a lot.

Xu Xing thought about it for a while, and he understood.

Classmates, same year, fellow countrymen, this is the relationship thread of scholars.

When he made friends with Chen Jian'an, it was equivalent to entering the network of classmates of Weijing Academy.

That is the so-called nobleman.

Of course, Chen Jian'an was not considered a nobleman, but could only slightly affect his luck.

……

After Zheng Zhaifu left, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to move into the dormitory. After making the bed, he left the Weijing Academy and rushed towards the temporary residence of Xiaoyi Hall.

Because he had just entered school, the supervisor gave him three days off.

On the way, he did not change his long shirt.

When we arrived at the farmhouse, it was already dark.

Three oil lamps were lit in the hall, brightly lit.

Master Ma and a dozen or so robed elder brothers sat on the grand master's chair with stern faces.

"You should know the rules."

"Late the hour, don't wait for the time!"

Master Ma said sharply.

Although Xu Xing did not officially worship him as a teacher, he has been teaching Xu Xing these days, and he can be regarded as half of Xu Xing's master.Now that Xu Xing has made a mistake, he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

"Return to Master Ma, the disciple knows that and is willing to be punished."

Xu Xing didn't shirk his responsibility, he immediately knelt down and confessed directly.

He is the brother with the lowest seniority in Xiaoyitang, and he does all the shopping for supplies.It's okay to come back a little later, but because he spent too much time answering questions at Weijing Academy, he missed the time too much.

This is not too wrong.

But as long as you speak sincerely and honestly, you will save everyone's face.Xiaoyitang would not punish him three times and six times for this matter.In that case, no one would dare to participate in the Gelaohui.

Hearing this, Master Ma's expression softened a lot, he waved his hand, and made Xu Xing stand up, "You made everyone wait so long, I punish you... wash everyone's war horses, and this matter is over."

Xu Xing practiced martial arts quite seriously, he noticed it, just because of this small mistake, there was no need to go to war.

Of course, Wei still has to be established, otherwise it is not terrible to delay the time now. When it is time to do something important, if the time is delayed, it will not only lose one's own life, but also cause the death of other brothers.

Intimidating to establish prestige, but taking it lightly, this is the way to use troops.

"Thank you, Master Ma."

Xu Xing stood up.

"What's the matter with your robe?"

Master Ma noticed that Xu Xing's clothes were different from usual.

"I entered Weijing Academy."

"I entered today."

Xu Xing said in a deep voice.

"today?"

Master Ma frowned, "You missed the time today, did you go to the Weiwei Jing Academy?"

There are four major academies in Guanzhong, Guanzhong Academy, Hongdao Academy, Weijing Academy, and Chongshi Academy.

Weijing Academy is one of the four major academies in Guanzhong.

Master Ma has been in Qin Province for many years, and recently took root in Jingyang County, so he naturally has a clear understanding of the local Weijing Academy.The No. [-] Normal School where Fang Yun, governor of Qin Province, was assassinated was Guanzhong Academy, one of the four major academies.

(Guangzhong Academy was renamed the First Normal School in Guangxu 32. Here it is earlier.)
"you……"

Master Ma looked at Xu Xing carefully.

Wei Jing Academy is not that easy to enter, he knows it clearly.

Although the young man in front of him was wearing a long gown, he looked like a gentleman, but after spending many days with Xu Xing, he felt more like a farmer's boy than a scholar who had read poetry and books.

"I was lucky enough to enter the academy."

What Xu Xing said was ambiguous.

Anyway, it is difficult for Master Ma to verify the authenticity.

After verifying the authenticity, he will definitely stand firm at that time.A few small doubts are no longer a big problem.I can't bring it up on the stage to talk about it.

Furthermore, it is wrong to say more.

His answer can also be regarded as a statement of humility.

"A gentleman is slow in speech but quick in action." - "The Analects of Confucius Liren".

"Since you have entered the academy, you are a scholar..."

"I think your gown should be rented. It's ten taels of silver. Take it and study hard."

Although Master Ma wanted to ask Xu Xing a thousand words in his heart, but the words came out from the back of his throat.With a long sigh, he took out two ingots of silver and put them on Xu Xing's palm.

One ingot of silver weighs five taels.

When two ingots are combined, it is ten taels.

Respecting teachers and teaching is a tradition of Chinese people.

Scholars are more precious than fighters....

The Ge Laohui has always focused on recruiting scholars, but it is more considerate to recruit other scholars, such as Xu Xing, a gang member who is a serious gang member, who is studying in the academy and becomes a scholar.
