There were tens of thousands of people living in Jingguo Academy. It was like a small city. Even at night, it was very lively. ()
The outer dormitories were like ordinary two-story inns. They were densely packed together, and there were four people sleeping in each room. Some were chatting, some were reading, some were grinding their teeth, some were snoring, and some were talking in their sleep.
If there were people grinding their teeth, snoring, talking in their sleep, and sleepwalking in the same room, it would become a scene in the academy. There would be an endless stream of new students coming to visit at night.
If there were many people talking in their sleep, there would be many "eavesdroppers" the next night.
The people in the outer dormitories were the most intimate, the most lively, the most opposite, and the most indifferent. It was no different from the people outside the academy.
The rooms in the inner dormitories were similar to the outer dormitories. The only difference was that there was only one person living in each room.
The people living in the inner dormitories were the most polite. Once gathered, it would be very lively, but when separated, it would quickly become cold and quiet.
The upper dormitories were all individual courtyards. Outside the courtyards were green and green, and inside the courtyards were fake mountains and flowing water. It was elegant and unique.
The ten upper dormitories were always lively.
Each upper dormitory was the symbol of the academy. It was the holy land of the students and the banner of the academy.
If the people in the ten upper dormitories worked together, they could even start a new era in Jingguo.
It was better to spend three years in the upper dormitories than to be the top scholar for a lifetime. This was the most commonly heard saying in Jingguo Academy.
The seating arrangement of the people in Jing Country was not based on the rank of the officials, nor was it based on their age. Instead, it was based on the seating arrangement in the academy of Jing Country.
Those who did not enter Jingguo Academy or did not study at the Confucius Academy or Notre-Dame could only stay at the bottom of the list.
It was the same in every country. If a low-ranking official could make a high-ranking official speechless, it was usually because the former's dormitory was ranked higher.
The upper dormitory was the farthest dream of an ordinary student in a country.
The carriage slowed down. Zhao Hongzhuang poked her head out of the window on the other side.
"Everyone misunderstands. The purpose of the upper dormitories is to encourage us to work hard and fight for these ten upper dormitories. We don't think Fang Wenhou is not qualified to live in the upper dormitories. We think Fang Wenhou should join us in the Lingyan Pavilion. "
"Don't flatter him here! Passing the Lingyan Pavilion was not an ordinary literary competition. Furthermore, it was not an ordinary poem or essay. No matter how talented he was, it would be impossible for him to surpass those Jinshi without honing his skills for one or two years. He doesn't have the right to live in the Upper House! "
"What nonsense are you spouting? Fang Yun has made great contributions to Jingguo and the human race. His poetry is the best in the world … No, it's the best in the world! "
"What a joke! You Ming She people usually praise Fang Yun to the heavens. Why don't you dare to let him pass through Lingyan Pavilion? "
"Despicable! He was just a newly enrolled High Scholar, and had never even seen the Pavilion of Ascending Mist. How do we let him pass? "
"The living quarters are based on the ranking of the Lingyan Pavilion. Since he can't enter the top ten of the Jingguo Academy's Lingyan Pavilion, he naturally can't enter the living quarters! If he did not have a literary palace, how could he be called a scholar? If he wasn't able to speak eloquently, how could he be called a High Scholar? You people don't distinguish between public and private matters. You look upright, but you're actually filthy! "
"That's right! The people in the Upper House are going to lead our country to participate in the academic competition. Fang Yun is just a High Scholar. How can he compete with the people from the other nine nations and the Confucius Academy? In the past, after Jingguo, there was Gu. Is Jingguo going to be at the bottom of this year's academic competition? "
Silence suddenly fell in front of the First House. Even those who supported Fang Yun were speechless.
"Sigh … I believe that if Fang Yun trains for another two years, he will definitely be able to shine in the academic competition. He will be able to enter the top three of Jingguo Academy, but he is still young. Letting him enter the Upper House will only do him more harm than good. "
"That's not right. Yi Zhishi can be said to be the first in the past hundred years. Even the Four Great Scholars couldn't beat him. Back then, he led Wu Guo Academy to become the first in the ten nations, but in the end, he still failed. He was defeated by the Qi Nation, the Shu Nation, and the Confucius Academy. The academic competition doesn't rely on the strength of one person, but the strength of an entire nation. It relies on the strength of many people working together. No matter how high a person's score is, he can't get more than ten points. No matter how low a person's score is, he can't get more than five points. Even if Fang Yun is a literary star, he can't get more than eleven points. What can he do in the end? "
"Sigh, let's just focus on our studies. When Fang Yun becomes a Grand Scholar, I hope to have the opportunity to participate in the academic competition with him. I will try my best not to be a burden to him. I don't want to be first. I will be satisfied if I can enter the top three of the Eleventh Academy. "
"Fang Yun shouldn't enter the First House."
"Eh? Isn't that Great Elder Princess's carriage? "
Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang retracted their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.
"Let's get out of the car." Fang Yun got out of the car first.
Zhao Hongzhuang's eyes flickered. Fang Yun's behavior was a little impolite, but then she smiled indifferently. Everyone made mistakes. There was no need to fuss over such insignificant details.
Zhao Hongzhuang lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the car when she saw Fang Yun standing by the shaft of the carriage. He raised his arm and gestured for Zhao Hongzhuang to support him.
Zhao Hongzhuang blushed. She almost wanted to find a hole to hide in. Her little heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She looked at Fang Yun with an exceptionally gentle gaze.
Fang Yun's arm was unusually steady. Zhao Hongzhuang put her hand on it and slowly got out of the car. She couldn't help but think of how she jumped out of the carriage in front of the Chen Mansion. She didn't expect Fang Yun to be so considerate.
Thinking of the word "considerate", Zhao Hongzhuang's heart raced again.
"Thank you, Fang Wenhou."
Fang Yun withdrew his arm and then walked toward the students with Zhao Hongzhuang.
"Are you Great Elder Princess and Fang Wenhou?" Someone asked loudly.
"Yes, Hongzhuang and I." Fang Yun cupped his fists to the crowd.
The dozens of people opposite him, regardless of their previous positions, now all bowed to Fang Yun. Some of them were very happy, some were flattered, and some were flustered and looked surprised.
Zhao Hongzhuang stopped smiling and said loudly, "Master Jiang allowed Fang Yun to enter the Superior School. This is what the people of Jingguo want. If you are dissatisfied, you can ring the Master's Bell, beat the Imperial Drum, and ask the Emperor to punish you. A group of old students gathered in front of the new students to shout and kill. You are a disgrace to the scholars! "
The people who opposed Fang Yun lowered their heads in shame. People from other places might look down on Zhao Hongzhuang, but no one in the academy dared to be rude to Zhao Hongzhuang. It was not because she was a princess, but because Zhao Hongzhuang was admitted into the Superior School without any talent!
Everyone in the Jingguo Academy knew that if Zhao Hongzhuang was talented, she would definitely be admitted into the Superior School.
"Senior Zhu Zhen is right." A High Scholar sincerely admitted his mistake.
However, another person mustered up the courage and said, "According to the rules of the Pavilion of Ascending Clouds, it is the custom of the Ten Nations to set the Superior School. Fang Yun cannot break it."
Zhao Hongzhuang's eyelids drooped slightly and said, "Why? Does anyone want to compete with Fang Yun?"
That person trembled in fear and said softly, "I don't dare."
"If you don't dare, then shut up! Go find someone who dares! How did Jingguo produce trash like you? You're so eloquent when you criticize others. " When it was their turn, they were like turtles. Get lost! "Zhao Hongzhuang puffed up her chest and placed her left arm behind her back. She glared at those students.
"We will take our leave." Those who opposed Fang Yun left dejectedly.
The others also seemed to be afraid of Zhao Hongzhuang and left one after another.
"Since Fang Wenhou is fine, we will take our leave."
"Fang Zhenguo deserves to stay here."
…
Fang Yun looked at Zhao Hongzhuang curiously. He did not expect the princess to have such a domineering side to her. She actually scolded the most outstanding students of Jingguo. If she did not have enough power and prestige, she would not have been able to do it.
After those people left. Zhao Hongzhuang turned to look at Fang Yun and smiled. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Your Highness is awesome." Fang Yun teased.
"You are so naughty!" Zhao Hongzhuang smiled coquettishly.
The door of the first dormitory opened and a head popped out. Fang Daniu looked at Fang Yun and heaved a sigh of relief. "Master, you are finally back. The students in Beijing are so scary. I almost died of fright …"
While Fang Daniu was talking, he saw a white and a silver shadow come out of the door. Little Fox climbed up Fang Yun's robe and squatted on Fang Yun's shoulder. She rubbed her head against Fang Yun's neck and looked at Zhao Hongzhuang. She tilted her head as if she was trying to recall something.
"Nuu, do you still remember me?" Zhao Hongzhuang asked.
Little Fox nodded hesitantly and looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's hand.
Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang laughed together. Zhao Hongzhuang said, "I didn't bring you any snacks today. I will bring you a lot of delicious food tomorrow."
Little Fox immediately smiled and jumped onto Zhao Hongzhuang's shoulder to rub against her. Then she jumped back to Fang Yun's shoulder.
The door of the first dormitory opened. Maid Lan and Yang Yuhuan came out together.
"Welcome, Great Elder Princess." All the women saluted.
"Don't be so polite when I come here in the future. Yuhuan! " Zhao Hongzhuang walked briskly to Yang Yuhuan. Then they walked hand in hand and talked as they walked into the room. They chuckled softly from time to time, like the sound of silver bells.
They forgot about Fang Yun outside the door.
Nuu gently swept her big tail. Fang Yun turned to look at her. Nuu's eyes were full of pity.
Fang Yun reached out and pinched her nose. He smiled and said, "I don't need your pity. I am the head of the family!"
"Nuu nuu." Nuu shook her head and patted Fang Yun's hand with her little paw as if she couldn't bear to see him like this.
"You are naughty!" Fang Yun said as he held Nuu in his arms and tickled her.
"Nuu nuu nuu nuu …" Nuu rolled around in Fang Yun's arms with all her might and kept laughing.
Little Shooting Star circled Fang Yun a few times and rushed into Fang Yun's arms as if it wanted to play with Fang Yun. Fang Yun slapped Little Shooting Star to the wall and then entered the room with Little Fox.
Little Shooting Star flew over angrily and quickly circled Fang Yun. It wanted to seek justice, but it was slapped away by Fang Yun again.
After a while, Little Shooting Star flew over and obediently followed behind Fang Yun.
Fang Daniu walked over quickly and handed over a large wooden box filled with letters and invitations. It was at least a foot tall.
"Master, these are today's invitations. I didn't expect there to be so many in just half a night. I'm afraid there will be even more tomorrow. "Fang Daniu said.
Fang Yun took the wooden box and flipped through it. Most of the invitations were from the academic palace, followed by invitations from various families. There were also more than ten invitations.
Fang Yun sighed helplessly. There were more prestigious families in the capital than in the other provinces combined. More than half of Jingguo's elites were gathered here. There would only be more invitations in the future, and they would accumulate enough to burn through the entire winter.
"Okay, you can go back to your work."
Fang Yun scanned the house.
The house was not as big as a mansion. It only had one courtyard, but it was very big. There were small flowerbeds in the courtyard, and there were two small wooden buildings on the east and west sides. Such a big place could not be bought in the capital without forty thousand taels of silver. The price of the house was seven to eight times that of the Dayuan Mansion.
