Lushan Academy is not located in the mountains.
Instead, it was built on Jinling Street, the most prosperous area in Kyoto.
It is bustling and lively here, and the Qinhuai River runs through the entire street.
On the sparkling surface of the river, there are many different kinds of boats sailing, and the sails hoisted high in the distance are looming.
There are all kinds of shops on the streets and hundreds of boats competing on the rivers.
It made Xia Xiaoxian dazzled.
Watching the people coming and going on the streets and feeling the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, she even enjoyed her current freedom.
The only discordant thing was that Xia Linan kept urging her along the way, even though his eyes were not enough.
Xia Xiaoxian was puzzled as to why Xia Linan turned a blind eye to such prosperity.
No matter how beautiful the street scene or how bustling the crowd, it probably couldn't arouse Xia Linan's interest at all.
He had only one thing on his mind right now: he had an appointment with his teacher to review his lessons.
Alas, he is so mature at such a young age!
Xia Xiaoxian looked at Xia Linan, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat and whose face was slightly red because he walked in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Eldest sister, please stop watching the fun. I'm afraid the master will be anxious waiting."
Today was originally a day off at Lushan Academy, but Xia Linan was diligent in his studies and made an appointment with his teacher to review his lessons at the academy in advance.
"I see. How about you take Ping An and Yong An to the academy first? Xiao Yan and I will take a look around and we'll be there soon."
After saying this, Xia Xiaoxian winked at Xia Xiaoyan.
"Yes, brother, you can go in first with your brothers. The teacher won't teach me and my elder sister anyway."
Xia Xiaoyan curled her lips. She was only interested in music and makeup. As for the Three Books and Four Classics, just thinking about it was enough to give her a headache.
Lushan Academy does not accept female disciples, and Xia Xiaoyan doesn't understand why Xia Xiaoxian followed Lin'an and the others here so early this morning.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Xia Xiaoxian's mother agreed to let them leave Luyuan so readily.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoyan couldn't help but admire her elder sister even more.
"Tsk, why do we need any professors to teach us? We have a beautiful mother sitting at home. She is the only female student in the Great Xia Dynasty. Having her teach us is not enough?"
Xia Xiaoxian couldn't remember why Sima Ming asked her to come to Lushan Academy today.
Isn't it good to go shopping? What's so good about this shabby academy?
All the way there she was trying desperately to recall what she could.
"That's fine..." After a moment of hesitation, Xia Lin'an hurriedly called over his two younger brothers, and the three of them hurried into Lushan Academy together.
Xia Xiaoxian stood at the entrance of the academy, facing the sun above her head, and closed her eyes slightly.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the mnemonics that Xu Yunxuan had mentioned. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember anything useful.
Helpless, she could only hold Xia Xiaoyan's hand and said, "Let's go into the academy. I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring some money."
Xia Xiaoyan looked at the candy figurine shops and doll shops around the academy, nodded reluctantly, and followed Xia Xiaoxian into Lushan Academy.
Who told her to forget to bring pocket money?
The two sisters entered the academy, and before they had gone far, they saw Xia Linan surrounded by several young men of similar age.
"Little Fatty, did you bring any money today?"
The young man in the lead had a handsome face, but he spoke in a harsh tone.
A hint of cynicism unconsciously flashed in his eyes!
"What does it have to do with you whether I bring money or not?" Xia Linan protected his two six-year-old brothers behind him, his expression full of vigilance.
"Hey! Little Fatty, you are really brave. You don't even ask who I am? You dare to talk to me like this?" The other party's tone was extremely provocative.
The young men following behind him also echoed, "Little Fatty, you didn't even bother to ask around before running off to Lushan Academy to act wildly."
"I think this little fat guy deserves a beating!"
"Hahaha..."
The young men folded their arms over their chests and burst into unbridled laughter.
"Who are you and what does it have to do with me?" Xia Lin'an's eyes were cold, and he replied indifferently.
Ping'an and Yong'an behind him had probably never seen such a scene before, so they were naturally a little panicked. They both hid behind Lin'an's fat body.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The handsome young man in the lead was obviously so angry that he laughed!
"Little Fatty, since you don't know who I am, do you know who my father is?"
The young man folded his hands in front of his chest, but tilted his head upwards a lot, and his raised chin was higher than Xia Linan's head.
"Senior, who your father is is none of my business!"
Xia Lin'an remained calm and didn't look away.
He remained neither humble nor arrogant and answered calmly.
"Who the hell is your senior? I'm here to look for someone! I just happened to forget to bring some silver, so I wanted to borrow some from you."
The handsome boy was probably choked and couldn't help but start talking frivolously.
"Don't be ungrateful! Lend me some of your money and return it another day."
The handsome boy looked at Xia Linan with disdain, then looked at Ping'an and Yong'an.
"Since you are not my senior, please make way. I have an appointment with my teacher and I am in a hurry to review my lessons." Xia Linan said calmly.
"I told you you're fat, you little fatty, are you really out of breath? Let me tell you, if he's willing to borrow money from you, it means he thinks highly of you. This shabby Lushan Academy is simply a place where a noble man like him can study!"
"I don't know you, and I have no obligation to lend you any money." Xia Lin'an said with a dead pig fearless of boiling water. "Besides, since Lushan Academy is not for a distinguished person like you, please go back. Lushan Academy does not welcome you."
"Don't know him? Humph! Little Fatty, let me tell you, if I tell you his father's name, I'm afraid you'll be scared to death!"
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Xia Linan frowned. If he hadn't had his two younger brothers with him, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.
The two sides were staring at each other eagerly when a clear girl's voice sounded in their ears.
"Wow... Could it be that this Lushan Academy really has hidden dragons and crouching tigers?"
Xia Xiaoxian hated to see her family members being bullied, so she pulled the young man who was talking away.
"You! Whose girl are you? Why are you running to the boys' academy to act wild?" The handsome young man saw that not only did he suffer bad luck from the fat boy today, but now even a little girl could boss him around.
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"Believe it or not, if you dare to mess with my brother, I will beat you!"
Xia Xiaoxian raised her head and stared at the young man fiercely.
