Chapter II Studying Continued

?At noon, the students in school uniforms were having a meal at the provincial school cafeteria. Kong Yingda wore a new school uniform and brought the rice and dishes on the plate, and came to the two "seniors" www..lā

Xiao Yu and Yu Wenli were actually not much earlier than him, but they were obviously familiar with the various systems of state education, so Kong Yingda decided to ask the two of them for their related matters first.

"Hey, let's not talk about anything else, the Huangmeitian in the south of the Yangtze River will be wet everywhere by then. Beware of the moldy bedding."

"Don't drink raw water when you are thirsty. You can get water in the boiled water room. The first three pots of the day are free. The fourth pot is a charge. However, two pots a day are basically enough. There is no need to worry. The first pot of bath water is also free."

"If you want to register a contact person or guarantor, don't fool it. It's not about preventing thieves, but multiple means to contact your family when you are sick or unexpected. If something really happens, the government will have some clues when it comes to investigation."

Xiao Yu and Yu Wenli kept talking, Kong Yingda kept it in mind. He found that Huangzhou Prefecture School is really different from other places, with detailed regulations, and the feeling is not known how to summarize it in words.

There are school buildings in the state schools. Of course, students have to pay extra fees to move in. It is okay to solve the accommodation problem outside, but they must register in the state schools regularly to avoid any accidents and the ‘contact person’ is the same.

There is a canteen in the state school, and of course only students can eat. Two meals a day are included in the tuition fee. Then there is breakfast when living in the state school. Although the lunch that Kong Yingda had is simple but real, although each person can only add a bowl of rice, it is enough.

The most exaggerated thing is that the dish is actually salty, which means that with salt, Kong Yingda's family is not bad, but he also thinks that the food is too much.

"Not too much, Huangzhou's vegetable prices are low and there is no shortage of salt. It's definitely not because the kitchen made a mistake."

Yu Wenli said this and seemed to know the "insider story". Kong Yingda did not ask in detail. After all, this surname is "Yuwen", which is probably related to the three royal families in Shannan.

"None of these matters. The key is whether Brother Kong lives in the schoolhouse? If he doesn't live in the schoolhouse, he can't grab others' books every day."

"How do you say this?"

"Think about it, the library has a lot of books, but there are more people who want to read it. Most people can only read it in the reading room and cannot borrow it. As the saying goes, there are too many monks and less porridge. The library opens at 8 o'clock every morning, and there are people queuing up at 7:30!"

"But what does this have to do with whether you live in a school or not?"

"The state school opened the door until 7:30, what do you think?"

Kong Yingda was a little confused when he heard this. He finally got his father's consent and traveled thousands of miles to Huangzhou to study. For this reason, he sent a servant to rent a yard first. He had a separate yard in Huangzhou, so that he could live there with peace of mind.

If he didn't live, he could only leave his servants to live there. After all, the school house stipulated that it was not allowed to take servants. Of course, Kong Yingda would not be able to live without the servants' service. He just changed to a smaller yard, and the rent paid earlier would be wasted.

"But if you go to read a book early in the morning, how can you listen to your lectures?"

"There is a class schedule. If you encounter someone you think you don't have to listen, you can stop going, but..." Xiao Yu said this and smiled, "If you fail the exam, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"How do you say this?"

"This is a long story, and someone will explain the relevant system of the state school."

Kong Yingda didn't think he would have any problems. The most troublesome thing was the library. According to what Xiao Yu said, it was possible that some books would be borrowed by others, and if they went too late, they wouldn't be able to rank them.

"Of course there is another trick. After borrowing the book, I read it all night in the library. However, the state school has regulations that it is not allowed to stay overnight, so as not to cause any death."

"Is there really a long-lasting light in the reading room?"

"Yes, my second uncle...haha, I will definitely not lie to you." Yu Wenli's tongue was knotted, and at least turned his words around.

"Is that really a complete set?"

"There are twenty sets, but they are still not enough. Fortunately, they cannot borrow them, so they can only be read in the reading room, so they can be ranked no matter what. Besides, the whole set of hundreds of books may not be the same as the books they want to read may have been borrowed."

“What books are there in the library?”

"After a while, people from the State School will give a book list to newly enrolled students, which is included in the library's book catalog." Xiao Yu said this and specifically reminded him: "Books are all one by one, called thread-bound books."

Kong Yingda was very confused about why books are "one book" rather than "one volume". Since ancient times, books have been "volumes", and how could they have heard of "line-bound books"?

"Brother Kong, there is not only a library, but also a place that is popular for people to visit."

“Where is this?”

"Defense hall! Everyone can debate here, even Dr. Liu will be here regularly, and any student can ask questions!"

"This is what you say seriously!"

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up when he heard this. He likes debate the most!

"Seriously, but Dr. Liu is very busy. It takes a few days to come. It is more about team debate among students. Of course, in order to prevent the scene from getting out of control, there are all state students on the presidency."

"Teaming? What is this?"

"That is, a few of the same teams and debate with another team. Everyone in the team can speak, so as not to speak hoarsely. Of course, there is also free debate. Whoever is brave enough can fight against the scholars alone!"

‘There is no need to form a team, I can do it alone!’

Kong Yingda thought so, but of course he didn't say it out loud. He felt more and more that he was coming to the south this time.

"I wonder if the two live in school or in their respective residences?"

"I think so, but the mansion is strictly controlled and not allowed to live..."

......

In a yard in the west city, Xiao Yu led the scholar into the gate. Almost a middle-aged man looking back at the door immediately greeted him: "Your Highness..."

"I have said that I have called Langjun many times!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was a little bit wrong. Please forgive me for your crimes, your Highness...Mr.

"Where is my uncle? Are you still in the prefectural yamen?"

"The uncle is still in the prefecture."

"Everyone said, don't call me uncle. You are so unstoppable. If I invite someone to visit my house and be heard by him, what kind of courtesy do you think they will treat each other?"

"The little one understands, understands..."

The middle-aged man spoke a little indifferently and looked no different from ordinary people on the outside, but in fact he was a eunuch who grew up with Xiao Yu and followed the prince of Liang to Xiyang City, Huangzhou, Shannan to serve food and daily life.

"Where are you going? Have you ever used lunch?"

"I've used it, I'll go to my sister's place."

Xiao Yu walked out of the gate. His uncle Zhang Ke's residence was near Duke Zhu's mansion, so he came to the gate of Duke Zhu's mansion without going far away. When the gatekeeper saw him, he opened the side door: "Please, please."

The rules of Duke Zhu's Mansion are very strict. Xiao Yu was treated like this, so it was not easy to use the title of King Xin'an of Liang. That was because of another identity: Xiao's younger brother of Duke Zhu's side.

He came directly to the door of the backyard. The healthy woman who was guarding the door didn't say anything when she saw him, so she let the master and servant go in, but there was a maid accompanying her. After all, the rules were still rules.

In the garden, a young man was studying for two little guys, four or five years old. When he saw Xiao Yu walking in, he waved and shouted: "Brother Xiao!"

"Brother Yuwen!"

Xiao Yu bowed to Yuwenli and then continued to move forward. Yuwenli, the eldest son of the Xiangzhou general manager Yuwenming, learned that Liu Zhuo, a famous scholar in the classics, was running schools in Huangzhou, and he came to Huangzhou to study.

Yuwenli's cousin was the chief supervisor of Huangzhou and Duke Yuwen Wen of Guoguo, so this person naturally lived in the side courtyard of Duke Zhu's mansion. Xiao Yu was originally arranged by his brother-in-law to live in the side courtyard, but because Zhang Ke was also in Xiyang, Xiao Yu finally lived in his uncle's house.

He wanted to come here last year, but at the beginning of the year, the Emperor of Liang State Xiao Kui passed away. Xiao Yu had been filial to his father for a year and was going to Huangzhou to study this year. His mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, was not willing to give up, and he didn't agree.

However, Liu Zhuo's reputation is so great that Empress Dowager Zhang felt that with her younger brother Zhang Ke and daughter Xiao Jiuniang in Huangzhou, she was not afraid of no one taking care of her, so she finally let her son do what she wants.

When I arrived at a yard, I just entered the yard and saw a little girl with a pink and jade collided and bumped into me: "Uncle!"

"Huannu, are your aunt here?"

"exist..."

The little girl pulled Xiao Yu into the room and saw a young and beautiful woman shaking her cradle.

"Sister."

"Xin'an is here? How about studying in the state today?"

Xiao Jiuniang shook her cradle gently, and a baby inside was muttering. This was the son she gave birth to Yuwen Wen, ranked third, and is now nearly ten months old.

"Sister, today I met my ancestors and descendants in the state school. Xindu Kong Yingda, he really traveled thousands of miles to study in Huangzhou."

"It turns out to be the descendant of his ancestor Nifu..." Xiao Jiuniang sighed a little, then asked, "Are you still used to living in Huangzhou? If you have any needs, tell my sister."

"I'm used to living." Xiao Yu suddenly felt embarrassed when he said this, "Sister, that thing..."

"Your brother-in-law agreed. From today on, you and Mr. Yuwen can borrow the books in the mansion and read them."

"Thank you sister!"

"Thank you brother-in-law."

"Where is my brother-in-law?" Xiao Yu asked. Every time he came to the mansion, it was rare to meet his brother-in-law Yuwen Wen. This person was very busy.
