Having said that, Xiao Wan naturally understood Mrs. Xiao's attitude.
Xiao's parents have always valued her, and paid special attention to her interpersonal relationships. They always remind her to take the initiative to make friends with some prominent families in the academy so as to revitalize the Xiao family in the future.
Judging from what Madam Xiao said today, even if Sicheng passed the imperial examination, it would be difficult for her to agree to their marriage.
Xiao Wan thought to herself that if she exposed their relationship now, it would probably backfire and cause more trouble.
"Mother, Wan'er has rested enough and is going to continue reading." Xiao Wan forced a smile.
Mrs. Xiao gave her a few more words of advice, asking her not to overwork herself, and then left.
When she heard the door close, the smile on Xiao Wan's face gradually faded.
Her eyes passed through the crabapple flowers outside the window and looked at the huge Xiao Mansion.
This place does not belong to her. Even her parents of this era have nothing to do with her, a soul from the modern era.
Are you really going to elope?
This thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Wan's mind. She was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.
Eloping was out of the question; she had never been one to do anything without thinking of the consequences.
What's more, after traveling through time, he also possessed the memories and emotions of the original owner of this body.
Her current parents have high hopes for her. Although they are a bit strict, the couple also take care of her sincerely.
She couldn't make the decision to abandon her parents and run away from home, against the original owner's will.
On the other hand, given his current situation, if he left the Xiao family, he would be homeless.
Even survival is a problem.
In her previous life, didn't she go through so much hardship just to leave the mountains, make a name for herself, and change her destiny?
Now we can't go back in time.
Fortunately, she and Zhao Sicheng are still young, and there is still a lot of time and room for improvement in the future, so there is no rush to get married.
Zhu Lan is right. In this era, finding a place to live and work is the top priority.
Xiao Wan's thoughts gradually became clearer, her gaze returned to the page in front of her, and her eyes became clear again.
She closed her eyes for a moment, cleared her mind of all the chaotic thoughts, and concentrated on reading the book.
…
On this day, Longchang Academy was experiencing unprecedented bustle.
With Ouyang Ye's permission, if the students of the academy have outstanding academic performance and have spare time, they can establish interest clubs to enrich their extracurricular life and cultivate all-round abilities.
In order to encourage this initiative, Yan Yuze even announced generously that those who perform well in club activities will be eligible to study in Wanjuan Building for a longer period of time!
As for the criterion for establishing a society, it was the college entrance examination. Only students who passed the college entrance examination and obtained the title of scholar were eligible to establish a society.
This request made Gu Chaoyang very troubled.
He wanted to set up an archery club, but he failed in the college entrance examination and was unable to set up the club.
So he had an idea and found his good brother Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou was a very loyal person. Since his chess and card club didn't seem to have much hope in the short term and he had nothing to do anyway, he simply applied to start an archery club in his own name.
The nominal person in charge of the Archery Club is Liang Zhou, and the actual manager is Gu Chaoyang. The division of labor is very clear.
On the day of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the students of the academy divided the venues and areas early and each hung up a banner.
"Senior Sister Qingyan, let's go over there and take a look!" A petite girl took Zhu Qingyan's arm and looked around with curiosity.
Ever since their identities were exposed last time, Zhu Qingyan and Xue Mei had completely cut off contact and they no longer lived together.
Zhu Qingyan moved out, and the person next to her now is her new roommate, Lu Yiner.
Lu Yiner is younger than Zhu Qingyan. She is not as snobbish as Xue Mei. She is lively and cheerful, and gets along particularly well with Zhu Qingyan.
"I want to chase the light cavalry, but the heavy snow covers the bows and swords. - Archery Club is recruiting new members."
Lu Yiner read it word by word and looked at Zhu Qingyan with a questioning look.
Gu Chaoyang stood under the banner of the Archery Club, holding a red magic bow, with white feather arrows hanging on his back, wearing a long robe and leopard skirt, maintaining a posture like Houyi shooting the sun.
Liang Zhou: "Are you sure everyone can tell that you are pretending to be Hou Yi?"
Gu Chaoyang moved his mouth: "Zhu Lan said that this is how it is described in the book."
Zhu Qingyan looked at the shooting range formed by the Archery Club from afar and shook her head. She was not good at swordplay at all, so she and Lu Yiner walked to the other side.
Liang Zhou stopped a passing student and said, "My classmate, would you like to try this bow?
Look at the apple on the stake in front of you. There's a prize!"
"Really? Then I'll try!"
The student took the bow, bent it and put an arrow on it. With a whoosh, the white feather arrow shot straight into the sky.
A group of girls screamed in surprise, followed by Qiao Youyou's furious voice:
"Liang Zhou! You have to compensate me for the banner!!!"
Qiao Youyou angrily picked up the banner that was torn into two pieces from the ground.
In order to expand enrollment, the Mathematics Society mobilized all its members today. There is strength in numbers, and everyone is working hard to convey their latest understanding of mathematical concepts.
"We in the Mathematics Club never suffer from insomnia because we are used to thinking about problems all night long."
"If there is no algebra in life, what is the geometry of life?"
"My classmate, have you written your solution today?"
Zhu Qingyan and Lu Yiner walked past the Mathematics Society, and Lu Yiner curiously picked up something like a wooden stick from the table.
"Junior sister, you have good taste!" A student from the Mathematics Club came over and said excitedly, "You haven't seen this before? This is called a pencil, and it can be used to write!"
As he spoke, he picked up a pencil and started writing and drawing on the paper, which made Lu Yiner's eyes light up and she was very curious.
"Isn't it amazing? Now in our academy, only those with excellent grades can get a pencil as a reward. But——"
The student kept Lu Yiner in suspense, whetting her appetite, and then continued smugly:
"As long as you join the Mathematics Club, you will have unlimited use of pencils regardless of your grades!
Let me tell you a secret, drafting is super useful! "
When Lu Yiner saw that this little gadget called "pencil" was light and convenient, she was very excited and signed up immediately.
Zhu Qingyan behind her shook her head again. She felt that she was not good at this either, so she continued to move forward.
Under the big banyan tree, there is an inconspicuous fortune-telling stall with no hawking and no banners.
Only Xu Shiming was sitting under the tree, wearing a square scarf on his head and a strange frame on his face, with two black round pieces of paper on the frame covering his eyes.
Zhu Qingyan passed by Xu Shiming and suddenly heard him shaking his head and saying:
"It is destiny that determines the fate of the society. My dear friend, I have calculated that the Metaphysics Society is missing you!"
Zhu Qingyan was wondering how Xu Shiming could see him with something covering his eyes, when he heard pleasant string and orchestra sounds coming from the front.
However, the style of this melody was somewhat different from what she usually heard.
Zhu Qingyan was curious and walked towards the sound of the music involuntarily. In the distance, he saw a high platform decorated with lights and colorful decorations. A person was dancing on the stage, and behind him were several students playing musical instruments.
Zhu Qingyan walked closer and recognized the person on the stage as Qin Yuwei.
