Chapter 133 Farewell
On the day when the White Horse Academy set out to hunt, Pingxi Lane was particularly lively.
The alley was blocked with carriages in front and behind.
Parents who usually don't send their children to school came today with big and small bags.
The child has to stay in the mountains for three days and two nights, so it is inevitable that the parents will be worried.
What's more, students from Yingtian Academy will also participate in this hunting trip.
Yingtian Academy was wealthy and powerful, and all its students were children of officials.
This is an opportunity for some people at Baima Academy.
"Son, don't forget what your father told you. You must get closer to Master Zhu's son. It would be best if you could live in the same dormitory."
"Have some good sense, and hold the lights, boil the water, or something, okay?"
The student who was taught earnestly by his own father looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
I studied in the upper part of Baima Academy.
We will compete in the next imperial examination.
Students from Baima Academy rarely have the opportunity to participate in activities with people from Yingtian Academy.
Those who have other ideas are eager to seize this opportunity.
Cheng Shuyi tied the bags to the two children in the yard, one in front and one behind.
"Is it heavy?"
The two bags were filled with clothes, shoes, cups, toothbrushes, towels, etc. for washing.
It’s not too heavy.
But there were instant noodles hidden in the bag.
Cheng Shuyi hid two buckets of instant noodles in a bag, and the two kids each had two bags.
“Not heavy!”
The two kids were so excited that they jumped around when their bags were being tied up.
Cheng Shuyi didn't want to spoil the child's fun, and gave him one last reminder: "Don't take off the bag from your back. You can take it off when you get to the lodge on the mountain. Okay?"
“When going up a mountain, try to climb on your own and don’t bother others.”
Cheng Shuyi has tried his best to reduce the weight of the burden.
Shen Zhou said that other people took the four treasures of the study with them, but Cheng Shuyi didn't let his two sons take them.
I’m afraid they can’t carry it.
Hunting in the academy is a rare and almost equal activity in Shengjing City.
No matter who you are, you have to carry your own things when you go up the mountain, and you are not allowed to bring servants or maids.
Of course, it’s another matter if there are lackeys in the academy.
Pei Yanli also postponed his entry into the palace today and stayed at home to send his two children to hunt.
He had wrapped new silk cloth around the two children's bows and arrows last night and had the strings tightened again.
He also engraved his child's name on the bow frame.
"Come, put the bow on your back."
Pei Yanli hung the quiver around the two children's necks.
The bow was also hung up and placed under the bundle.
Pei Yanli and Cheng Shuyi were like an old father and mother sending their child on a long journey. When they were about to leave, their eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
The two boys were not only the youngest students in Baima Academy, but there was no one younger than them in Yingtian Academy either.
Cheng Shuyi felt distressed just looking at the huge bag on his back.
"Why go hunting in winter when it's so cold in the mountains and winter clothes are so heavy?"
Cheng Shuyi squatted down, hugged his knees and sighed.
"Look at Xuxu, he can't even move his feet after carrying such a heavy bag..."
"Brother Huaichang——"
Before Cheng Shuyi could finish his words, the little girl saw Shen Huaichang coming in accompanied by Shen Zhoushi and ran over.
Cheng Shuyi: “…”
Well, she's too talkative.
The two cubs can not only run, but also jump.
Pei Yanli chuckled on the side.
Cheng Shuyi smacked his shoulder in dissatisfaction before standing up and walking towards the door. "Sister Zhou, you're here."
Shen Zhou bowed to Pei Yanli before pulling Cheng Shuyi over: "Sister, the carriage from the academy is here. Let the children get on."
It was the first time that Cheng Shuyi sent her children to hunt. When they walked into the crowd, the three children had already gone to the academy.
"Which car should I get on? Is there any explanation?"
"There's nothing to say. Just let Ruqi Ruxu ride in the same carriage with Chang'er and Yan'er."
Shen Zhou's eyes were fixed on the three children in front of her. "This way, the children can look after each other on the road."
"Yanzhi——"
Shen Huaichang was taller and first saw Lin Yanzhi coming from the direction of the moat.
Four children gathered together.
The three mothers are also together.
Shen Huaichang and Lin Yanzhi each carried a small bag, and the big bags were in the hands of their two mothers.
The four children found a carriage by themselves.
When climbing onto the car, the two kids found it difficult because they had bags hanging on their backs.
It took Lin Yanzhi and Shen Huaichang, one in the car and the other under it, to support and pull the two kids into the car.
When Shen Zhou saw this, she asked, "Sister, why are you letting Ruqi carry the bag like this now? It's so heavy."
Cheng Shuyi explained, "The bundles are too big. If I don't hang them now, I'm afraid they won't be able to tie them themselves when we get down the mountain."
Children aged five or six can’t even adjust the length of their schoolbag straps.
I have no idea about luggage.
Cheng Shuyi was worried that the two children were too excited and had too much fun on the way, and even forgot their things when they went up the mountain.
So that the children have clothes to wear and food to eat in the mountains.
She had to get the two cubs used to carrying baggage now.
That's why she specifically reminded him to take off the bag only after going up the mountain.
The three of them talked as they came to the carriage.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu stuffed the large bags in their hands through the car window.
Cheng Shuyi was curious and lifted the curtain to take a look inside the car.
The carriage was bigger than she had imagined, and six or seven children could sit in it.
Her two children were talking passionately and non-stop in the car, imagining what they wanted to do after reaching the mountain.
Cheng Shuyi: “…”
Baby, let’s save some energy!
You still have to climb the stairs up the mountain in the afternoon.
"The teachers are here." Lin Yu reminded the two, "Let's stand aside."
The arrival of the teachers means that it is time to set off.
Seeing this, the other parents who were seeing their children off all stood at the edge of the alley.
Convenient for carriages to leave.
Pei Yanli has been following behind since the beginning.
Cheng Shuyi was chatting with the two ladies, so he didn't want to get close to them, so he just followed them quietly.
The carriage in the alley began to move.
As soon as the carriage started moving, the children inside started shouting and screaming like monkeys in the mountains.
Without their parents' supervision, the children couldn't control their temper and started making a fuss like crazy.
Shen Zhoushi was not surprised. "Don't look at the children playing wildly now. The lights will be turned off before they leave the city."
Sitting in the carriage, the ride was bumpy.
No matter how noisy the child is, I can’t stand it.
After a while, the car became quiet and there was no movement.
The carriage left and the crowd in the alley gradually dispersed.
Only one or two dead leaves were left, blown by the north wind, floating and falling.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu also went back.
Cheng Shuyi walked towards Pei Yanli, "Your Majesty, have you not entered the palace yet?"
She thought he had entered the palace a long time ago.
Pei Yanli took her hand and went home. "My son said last night that he wanted a room of his own. I will not be entering the palace today. Let's clean up the west wing together."
"I've already called a mason to build the ground fire dragon in the west wing in the next two days."
"Did Qiqi say we should sleep in separate rooms?"
Cheng Shuyi was puzzled: "Why didn't he tell me about this?"
Pei Yanli said, "The two children told me this last night while they were eating noodles."
After Xu Xu bought the puppet, she often played with the other little girls in the alley.
Sew clothes, shoes and other things for the doll.
The weather was cold, and several little girls stayed in the house playing with needlework and could not stay any longer.
"So that's how it is..."
In ancient times, boys and girls did not sit at the same table after the age of seven.
Cheng Shuyi thought that the two children were only five and a half years old, and wanted to let them sleep in bunk beds for a while longer.
Thought they were afraid to sleep alone.
Who knew they would now ask for their own room.
"That's fine, since Qiqi and Xuxu are away these few days, let's redecorate the house for them."
