Chapter 28: Borrowing
After lunch, Chen Tang lay on the bed and took a nap for a while, and his mind gradually calmed down:
After all, I am a person who has practiced it. Although it is not yet a good time, I still have a little more self-protection than ordinary people. Besides, with a sword box, I am not afraid of evil spirits coming close to me. It’s a pity that I can’t carry it on my back and still have to act carefully when I go out.
After getting up, I washed up a little and saw Su Ling busy in the backyard, dividing the area, turning the soil and shaping the ridges, saying that this place is used to grow flowers and that place is used to grow vegetables. I also said that if there are too many melons and vegetables produced and cannot be finished, I can take them out and sell them...
The plan is very thorough.
Chen Tang did not interfere. No matter who he was, he had to do something, otherwise he would have no place to spend time on entertainment, and would be bored and even more depressed.
Carrying a bookcase, I went to the college to attend class.
The morning class made Chen Tang feel that he had benefited a lot, and he really made the right choice to study. Although there was not much time left before the exam and it was a temporary cram, with his current full mental state, he was able to hold the Buddha's feet firmly and steadily. After learning all the courses, the chance of winning the exam will be increased sharply.
To a certain extent, the imperial examinations in the Yin Kingdom are more concerned with memorizing hard memory than in China's time and space, and are simpler and more crude in form.
Due to different courses, the classrooms arranged are also different.
There are ten classrooms in Panzhou College, including those who teach calligraphy and painting... The fees are more expensive, and many young men go to study. Most of the students in the ladies' class are concentrated there. They cannot take the imperial examinations, so they naturally do not need to practice the scriptures.
Although they also learn calligraphy and calligraphy, men and women are not in the same class, but are separated.
The defense between men and women in the Yin Kingdom is not severe, and there is no saying that "men and women are not close to each other", but when communicating, they should not be too close to each other. In that case, it would be a polite person.
Chen Tang came to the college and found a new classroom. He found that the students in the class had changed a lot of new faces.
This is a very normal thing. There are hundreds of students studying in the college, but almost no one can finish all the courses. They can’t afford to study even if there is a mine at home. They basically take the elective according to their own strengths and weaknesses.
So changing courses means changing classmates.
Chen Tang had no objection to this and knew more people, which was a good thing.
The class was calm and unpredictable. The old Master's lecture was straightforward. The students who listened to the lecture respected the teacher and were very polite. Without permission, they could not say a word.
The entire classroom atmosphere and discipline are very strict. If someone dares to violate it, he will be expelled from the hospital, lose his qualification to study, and will be punished, becoming an unforgettable stain and affecting his future imperial examination.
Anyway, instructors have absolute authority in class.
Chen Tangxin, who was originally a teacher, was very grateful and appreciative. You should know that in another class in time and space, it is common for those students to be naughty and snoring while sleeping, and they are all slim. You can't beat them or say...
It's really unbearable to look back on the past.
After class, it was almost dusk, and it was a little over four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Brother Mingjing, please stay."
Chen Tang stepped up and called a tall classmate.
Brother Mingjing turned around and glanced at him: "Bao Qian, you call me?"
Chen Tang smiled: "Brother Mingjing, let me talk with you."
The "Mingjing Brother" was named Tao, with a name of "Hao", and his name was "Mingjing". He is 39 years old this year and is among the scholars. He is an elderly person. He has no choice but to fail the exam many times and is unwilling to give up, so he stayed in the college to "study further" and is an old student who is absolutely unfair.
Chen Tang took a fancy to his "old" and knew that he had at least a dozen class notes in his hands and did very detailedly.
During class, students take notes to write down what the lecturer said without missing a word.
So reading these notes is equivalent to taking a class.
Chen Tang has always wanted to find someone to borrow notes. Tao Hao is a very ideal partner - in the morning class, and the two of them are in the same class.
In Chen Tang's opinion, it is a waste of money for an old student like Tao Hao to keep going to class. But it is understandable. It's like if you can't get into a good university in the third year of high school, then you can repeat the exam. If you can't get into the fourth year of high school, you can continue to get into the fifth year of high school...
The scholars in the Yin Kingdom were more obsessed with fame than imagined, because they had been counting on this path throughout their lives and had no second choice.
The two of them walked out of class together and walked slowly to the edge of the lake located in the center of the college.
This lake has a name called "Jingming Lake". It has the shade of willow trees around it and the scenery is beautiful. It is very popular among students, especially those who live in the college. Whenever they have time, they will come to the lake to enjoy the shade and cool off, read books, and those who are skilled in it, and they can also play the piano and flute, free and easy.
Among them, there are many students from the ladies' class. Men and women meet by the lake, and those who meet each other can even make a good relationship.
The college does not restrict and is very open-minded in this regard.
Chen Tang and Tao Hao chose a place to sit down. Tao Hao asked, "I don't care, what's the matter? Tell me, I have to go back."
His family owns a cloth shop in the state capital, and the business is good, so it supports him to continue his studies in the college.
Chen Tang said straight to the point: "Brother Mingjing, I want to borrow notes from you..."
Upon hearing this, Tao Hao frowned immediately.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Please bring the notes and I will give you ten coins in half an hour."
Tao Hao and Chen Tanggang met and nodded. Chen Tang wanted to borrow notes, but he refused, but if you pay, it would be different. In the college, it is an unwritten rule for old students to make money by borrowing notes for a fee. If the market is good, it will be higher than doing business outside, and can subsidize tuition and living expenses.
Generally speaking, the fee for borrowing notes is calculated based on the book, and how much does a book cost and how many days it takes.
The standard price is almost ten yuan per book, and it takes about a day to read it.
But now Chen Tang made a request and gave him ten coins in half an hour. Tao Hao was very moved when he listened.
Chen Tang glanced at him and said, "But I have a request, please take three notes at once."
Tao Hao was stunned: "Do you want to read three notes at once? Or within half an hour?"
Chen Tang spread his hands: "Anyway, by time, if I can't finish reading it, I'll add more money if I can't finish it."
Tao Hao looked at him and asked, "You want to watch it on the spot in front of me?"
Usually I take it home and watch it slowly.
Chen Tang nodded: "No, I will give it back to you immediately after reading it."
"good!"
Tao Hao agreed very simply.
Chen Tang said: "Then let's make an appointment... Well, I don't have classes tomorrow morning."
Tao Hao said: "I don't have it either, so I'll make an appointment. I'll bring notes here to show you."
If you don’t have classes, you can also go to the college to study. The environment here is quiet and there is an academic atmosphere. No one disturbs you. It’s much better than outside.
There is an old saying that goes: What you read is not a book, it is an environment, or a circle!
