Chapter 516 Ink Pond

Thirty years ago

A young man carrying a basket of books came to Bailu Academy.

The scholar held a letter in his hand.

In the whole world, there are only a handful of people who can receive this letter.

And this scholar was only sixteen years old.

This scholar was the third scholar in their dynasty to enter the Bailu Academy.

"From now on, Junior Brother Xiao, you will live here. If you need anything, just tell me directly. This is your jade token, Junior Brother Xiao.

This jade token is required to enter and leave the academy, go to certain places in the academy, or collect food and clothing from the academy. Junior Brother Xiao must keep it well and cannot lose it, otherwise it will be very troublesome to replace it."

The senior brother who brought the scholar in gave the young junior brother many instructions.

The scholar named Xiao Mochi bowed and said, "Mochi will remember this. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."

Lin Qingshuang patted the little brother on the shoulder and said: "There are indeed not many scholars from your Wu country who come to Bailu Academy, but each of them is very talented, not to mention that you, little brother, are personally accepted as a disciple by the master. Little brother, you must study hard and don't let the master down.

If anyone in the academy talks gossip about you, you can come to me anytime!"

"Hahaha, thank you again, senior brother. Please rest assured, Mo Chi will study hard and will not embarrass our Luomo Peak." Xiao Mo Chi said cheerfully. He liked this senior brother very much.

"Okay, then I'll get busy first. You should get familiar with the environment by yourself." Senior Brother Wang also smiled, bowed, and then said goodbye and left.

Xiao Mochen put away his luggage, fetched a bucket of water, and made himself some tea in the yard.

Although the Wu State was known as a "civilized dynasty in barbarian guise", the people of Wu not only liked to drink alcohol, but also liked to drink tea.

While drinking tea, Xiao Mochen looked around the courtyard.

This courtyard is a triple room.

Xiao Mochen knew that there were still two classmates who had not arrived.

But it should be soon.

Xiao Mochen was actually quite looking forward to his other two classmates.

The next day, after Xiao Mochen woke up, he strolled around Luomo Peak and then went to the ink pond.

It is said that the ink pool in Bailu Academy was a pool of ink poured by the chief priests of Bailu Academy throughout the generations.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the ink pool was finally formed into a pool so large that one could even row a boat on it.

Of course, this is just a rumor. As for whether it is true or not, Xiao Mochen has no interest in it.

However, Mo Chi has the same name as himself, so it can only be said that it is a kind of fate.

There are five days of free time before the formal classes start at Bailu Academy.

During these five days of free time, Xiao Mochen either read books in the academy's library, or wandered around other mountains in Bailu Academy.

Except for a few places that are not allowed to be visited, most places in the entire Bailu Academy are open to the public.

And just four days before the formal class.

A man and a woman came to the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, Xiao Mochen was reading a book in the courtyard.

Sensing someone coming, Xiao Mochen raised his head and looked at the man and woman outside the courtyard.

The man was about the same height as herself, handsome, with a smug smile on his face.

He was wearing a blue shirt and looked very plain.

Just one glance gives you a very comfortable feeling.

The woman was wearing a long dress. The twin lotus flowers embroidered in gold thread on her plain white bodice rose and fell with her breathing. Her moon-white wide-sleeved skirt rippled in the morning breeze, and the dark silver bamboo leaf pattern was faintly visible under the gauze.

The semi-transparent texture makes the creamy skin look like warm jade. The collar is decorated with a three-inch wide dark blue border, and the silver-thread embroidery of honeysuckle winds from the collar to the waist.

The woman looks to be in her thirties, but she is well maintained and has delicate and fair skin.

However, the woman's eyes were a little evasive and even a little nervous, and she didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Mochi.

Seeing someone coming, Xiao Mochi put down his book and bowed: "May I know who you two are?"

"That. Me."

The woman's eyes rolled, not knowing what to say.

The man next to the woman walked forward and bowed. "Greetings, brother. My name is Lu Xiaoliu. I am a new student at the White Deer Academy. I am reporting here today. May I ask if this is the 15th dormitory of Jiashui?"

Xiao Mochi nodded and smiled: "Yes, then you and I should be classmates. My name is Xiao Mochi."

"Hahaha, please take care of me, brother." Lu Xiaoliu straightened up and introduced to Xiao Mochi, "Brother Xiao, this is my mother. My mother was worried about me coming to Bailu Academy this time, so she sent me off. I also wanted my mother to go out for a walk and see the mountains and rivers."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I see." Xiao Mochen nodded.

Lu Xiaoliu's mother originally wanted to bow, but felt something was wrong, so she nodded in the end.

Lu Xiaoliu wanted to clean up the room by himself, but Lu Xiaoliu's mother wanted to help and asked Lu Xiaoliu to go drink tea and chat with friends. Lu Xiaoliu finally did not insist.

In the past, everyone had to live together for a long time, so both sides would definitely have to talk and get to know each other.

Xiao Mochen learned that Lu Xiaoliu was from the Wei State.

As for what to do at home and so on.

Just as Lu Xiaoliu was about to speak, his mother came out in a hurry and said that she wanted to go for a walk in the bamboo forest and asked her son to accompany her.

Lu Xiaoliu naturally did not refuse.

However, Xiao Mochen found that Mrs. Lu's expression was a little unnatural.

It was like he didn't want his son to say it.

Xiao Mochen realized this and naturally didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, after Lu Xiaoliu came back, Xiao Mochen deliberately avoided the topic and did not mention what happened before.

As for Lu Xiaoliu's mother, she had already left the academy.

As his mother was a disciple of Bailu Academy, she was escorted by someone when she returned to her hometown, so Lu Xiaoliu didn't have to worry at all.

Xiao Mochen and Lu Xiaoliu got along very well. They talked about Confucian classics, dynasties and countries, and the immortal cultivation sects.

Within a few days, the relationship between the two people changed from strangers to good friends.

However, not long after, Xiao Mochen heard a rumor about Bailu Academy.

Lu Xiaoliu's mother was a prostitute in the imperial capital of Wei State.

For a moment, many people pointed fingers at Lu Xiaoliu.

There was even a prince from the Wei Kingdom who came to Bailu Academy to gild his reputation and mocked Lu Xiaoliu.

One day, Xiao Mochen was not angry. When the get out of class was over, Xiao Mochen punched the other person in the face.
