It was nearly the twelfth lunar month, and Kaifeng had its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter.

Zhang Heng squatted under the eaves, holding a large steaming bowl in his hand. What he picked up with his chopsticks were chewy noodles. There was a fried egg lying in the big bowl, with chopped green onion floating on it. The rich aroma was very appetizing. .

"Go aside!"

Zhang Heng quickly stepped aside, and Zhang Shu sat down, stirred it with chopsticks, and sighed with satisfaction: "I can't live enough of this good life. I have a bowl full of noodle soup so early in the morning, how dare you Two drops of scallion oil were added to it, and what’s even more unbelievable is that he even dared to add a fried egg to it… Damn!”

Zhang Jun's voice came from next to him: "Let's go."

Zhang Heng and Zhang Shu quickly gave way, and Zhang Jun squatted down with a bowl and started eating. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the heavy snow in the sky, sighing with satisfaction: "These are such a good life. It’s not enough!”

He turned to his two younger brothers and said: "...Today is the day to report to Taixue, so I eat white rice, noodles and eggs. Don't think that it will be like this in the future. This is not how we live today, you know?" "

After hearing this, Zhang Shu's face suddenly fell: "It's in vain that I still have a little luck in my heart, you don't have to give up my expectations so quickly."

Zhang Jun snorted and said, "What kind of family does this have to be if they eat rice and noodles every meal?"

Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Xun is afraid of living a poor life. In fact, the three brothers are now engaged in a pie-making business. Although it is a small business, the income is actually not low. Naturally, they cannot support high consumption, but even if they eat noodles and eggs for every meal, it is actually not enough. It doesn’t cost much. If you do your own business, flour and eggs are all at wholesale prices, so they’re not that expensive.

However, Zhang Heng did not argue. He went to Taixue today to report that from now on, Taixue will be in charge of food, and the food will probably be much better than what he eats at home.

After the three brothers finished eating and tidied up, they took their admission letters and went out.

I have to report today, so I won’t set up a stall, and since it’s snowing so heavily, there probably won’t be many people around.

The three brothers held oil-paper umbrellas and carried book boxes as they walked in the snow.

They started next to the Daxiangguo Temple, crossed the Xiangguosi Bridge, then walked straight along Baokangmen Street for about two quarters of an hour, crossed the Yunqi Bridge at the Fayun Temple intersection, turned right and walked for half a quarter of an hour to Taixue.

When the disciples of the Imperial Academy saw that they were strangers, they stopped them and said, "Are you going to enroll as supervisors? Do you have a letter of admission?"

Zhang Jun quickly handed the admission letter to the disciple. The disciple looked at it and said with a smile: "It turns out he is from Taixue. You guys, go in and report to Master Sun. Go straight inside and turn left at the end of the first room. That’s it, the wine minister and the supervisor are not here on a daily basis, and Chief Sun is in charge of these matters. If you have any questions, just ask him."

The disciples were quite enthusiastic, and both Zhang and brothers thanked each other before entering.

The disciple praised: "Common people are still polite, but the people from aristocratic families, huh, all of them have higher eyesight..."

The three brothers Zhang and Yu walked inside according to the instructions and found the hall where the chief clerk was. After the chief clerk Sun read their admission letters, he suddenly became enthusiastic.

"You are the Zhang brothers. Ha, you are indeed a talented person, not bad. Brother Ming Zhong really has a good eye.

Come on, I've probably already filled out the admission procedures for you. All you need to do is sign, and the dormitory has been arranged for you.

According to the regulations, there are four people in a room, and there are three of you brothers, so I have approved a room for you, and it will be more spacious..."

Zhang Heng was stunned and said: "Does the imperial student need to live here?"

Director Sun nodded and smiled: "Yes, students who come to study have to live and eat here, but don't worry, there are four days of rest every month, so you won't be locked up here all year round.

, and if you really have something important to do, you can ask for leave from Zhikao, and Zhikao will not be unkind."

Zhang Jun pulled Zhang Heng's hand and signaled that he would talk later. Zhang Heng remained silent and listened to Master Sun tell them other things. Although Master Sun was enthusiastic, he knew that the young man probably didn't want to listen to him.

He just gave them a class schedule with time arrangements and class locations, then took them to the dormitory and handed over the important matters to Zhang Yu.

"You can move here as soon as possible, and there is no rush, because this semester is almost over, and it won't start until the 15th of the Lunar New Year. You can study day-to-day. Of course, if you live far away, it's better to live here for the comfort, so that you can relax in the morning."

You can sleep a little longer..."

Master Sun was probably very enthusiastic and gave a very detailed introduction probably because of Zhu Gongliang, but that was about it. Master Sun was also busy. As the actual manager, his daily work was very busy.

, if it weren’t for the face of Shuo Gongliang, a rising star with a bright future, he wouldn’t be able to speak at all.

But he didn't know that because of his explanation, the three Zhang brothers were in trouble.

The three of them cleaned the dormitory, and when they sat down to rest, they were very frustrated: "If we have to live in Taixue, we will have no way to set up our stall..."

Zhang Shu also frowned and said: "Yes, although Taixue is responsible for food and accommodation, if you don't set up stalls, you will be sitting on nothing. Taixue is responsible for food and accommodation, but there are other expenses. What should I do?

?”

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Can't we take four days off every month? We take four days off every month, and then we also have a holiday every holiday. Then we will take a whole day off. At that time, one day

It lasted for several days.

Although there are fewer days for display, we don’t have to spend money on food and accommodation, which saves some money.”

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "That's not true. The house has been rented there and we can't return it now. Moreover, we also need a house to stay, so we still have to have the house. We can't save this money.

Moreover, there are many classmates from Taixue. We always have to make friends, and socializing costs money. This money is a bottomless pit. If there is no income..."

Zhang Jun sighed.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "The house only requires one year's rent. If you can't afford it, just stop renting it when the lease period is up. Most of us live in Taixue, so it doesn't matter if we live here forever.

As for socializing, there are ways to socialize with rich people, and there are ways to socialize with people without money. If we are influential figures in Taixue, and everyone is proud to invite us to attend poetry and cultural gatherings, then we

Doesn’t it mean we don’t have to pay?”

Zhang Shu grinned and said: "Sure enough, the third child is the third child. This method is the same as my idea of ​​eating soft food, but you rely on talent, and I rely on face..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Jun glared at Zhang Shu fiercely, and then smiled bitterly with Zhang Heng: "The truth is correct, but most of the people in Taixue are children of aristocratic families, and they have a long history of family education. Everyone is talented. We three brothers

They are all countrymen, and their talents are nothing compared to them."

Zhang Heng bared his teeth and smiled: "That's not necessarily true."

Seeing Zhang Heng's confidence, Zhang Jun did not attack him, he just smiled and gave up.

As for setting up a stall, this can only be done for the time being. He still knows the priorities of things. Setting up a stall is a small matter, and studying is the most important thing. He will not end up picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
