When Mr. Yan and his party arrived, there were already people waiting to guide them outside the south gate of Taiqing Mansion.

After confirming their identities, everyone followed the guide and entered Taiqing Mansion.

Zhao Rong enjoyed the scenery along the way.

The space in the palace is spacious and the scenery is unique and secluded. Most of the buildings are tall and magnificent, with green tiles, red eaves, and jade-like buildings.

He followed the crowd, turning left and right, passing through palaces and buildings, and arrived at the arranged residence.

Because Mr. Yan will give the first class to the students of Fuyao Mansion in the afternoon.

Therefore, after some rest, Zhao Rong followed his senior brothers and sisters to attend classes with Mr. Yan.

The place where he taught was a lecture hall surrounded by green forests. It had no walls and was very bright. Mr. Yan sat on the apricot platform, and a group of Fuyaofu students sat on the ground below the stage, listening attentively.

The lecture hall had about a hundred seats, and even with Zhao Rong and his accompanying disciples included, it was still not full.

Mr. Yan’s teaching format at Taiqing Mansion is quite free and relaxed. Students can join or leave during the lecture as long as they do it quietly and do not disturb others.

The main duties of Zhao Rong and other disciples were to assist in teaching and to perform rituals and serve Mr. Yan.

Since a class lasts for an hour and a half, it is the students' turn to do chores such as serving tea and water to Mr. Yan.

As for the teaching assistants, because it is a group lecture and there are too many students, qualified disciples like Li Jinshu will also assist Mr. Yan in guiding students who have questions.

Most of the time, Zhao Rong and other students also attended classes with the students of Fuyao Mansion.

In this way, the first day passed.

In the evening, after class, before everyone left, Li Jinshu gathered everyone around him.

He said seriously: "Some of you should have been here a few times, but some have never been here. Don't think I am nagging you, Senior Brother. There are some things that you still need me to remind you of.

After all, Taiqing Mansion is not our academy. When you come to someone else's place, you should behave yourself and be polite. Don't run around casually, break into other people's gates, or... go to some strange places."

Li Jinshu smiled helplessly and glanced at everyone with different expressions.

"We are mostly men, and this time is not like usual. If the master is not in Taiqing Mansion, you can run around as you like, and no one will care as long as you don't cause trouble. But now the master has brought us here, and if you do something rude again, it will be a disgrace to the master and the academy."

He sighed slightly.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

Zhao Rong was a little confused. Why did he feel like you two had something in common?

Fan Yushu took a step forward, nodded with a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. We haven't digested all the knowledge that Mr. Yan taught us during the day. We still have to review our lessons and prepare for tomorrow morning's class. How can we have the time to run around?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, I haven't finished the essay that the teacher assigned me yesterday. It's due tomorrow..."

"You're right, this isn't the first time I've come here..."

The group of students around nodded in agreement.

Don't run around?

Sorry, Senior Brother, no, I have to go find Qingjun later...at least I have to give the letter to her.

Zhao Rong stood in the crowd, listening to what everyone was saying. He had some thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't say them in front of everyone now, so he mixed in and said yes.

Seeing this, Li Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to dismiss his fellow apprentices. However, he opened his mouth and then closed it again. He pursed his lips and looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Remember, don't run around everywhere. I'm relieved about you, Junior Sister, but you, Junior Brothers... Sigh, especially don't go to Nanci Jingshe if you have nothing to do. Most of the women in Taiqing Mansion are there. If you do anything disrespectful, you will be embarrassed. Remember this."

Zhao Rong, who was mixed in the crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nanci Jingshe, right? Most of the female students in Taiqing Mansion live there, right?

Thank you, Senior Brother. No need to ask. I will go there to find Qingjun first. I don’t know if she is there now…

Li Jinshu gave a few more instructions.

Zhao Rong followed everyone else and nodded vigorously with a serious expression.

After a while, Li Jinshu dismissed everyone.

Zhao Rong obediently followed his fellow brothers back to their residence. He lived in a courtyard with two entrances, and happened to live with Fan Yushu, who was also a special student. They each had a room, facing each other.

While Zhao Rong was glancing at his fellow brothers who were returning to their rooms one after another, he took out his key and prepared to go back to his room and wait for a while before sneaking out.

At this moment.

Fan Yushu suddenly called him, "Brother Ziyu, please stay."

"What is it?"

"Today is the first time I met Brother Ziyu, and I feel like we get along really well. I happen to have a pot of good wine, how about I bring it to Brother Ziyu's room so we can have a taste together?"

Zhao Rong sighed, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Yushu. I think we get along well, but Mr. Yan talked too much today, and I haven't digested it all yet. I have homework to do in the evening, so I don't want to get drunk. Let's forget about it today and get together another day."

Fan Yushu showed a look of regret, hesitated for a while, and nodded, "Then I will go to have a drink with Senior Brother Li later. Brother Ziyu, just study hard and I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the house.

He packed his things and sat quietly at the table waiting.

After a while, the sound of a door opening and footsteps gradually fading away were heard outside. It was Fan Yushu from the opposite house, who went to find his senior brother for a drink.

Zhao Rong did not move and waited patiently for a moment. When there was no movement outside the door, he suddenly stood up, put the love letter to Qingjun carefully into his sleeve, pushed the door open and left with light footsteps.

…

The four prefectures of Taiqing are very large. Zhao Rong had just arrived and was not familiar with the place, so he politely asked a few students passing by how to get to Nanci Jingshe.

When the stopped students heard that Zhao Rong was going to Nanci Jingshe, they looked up and down at the way Zhao Rong was dressed as a student from the academy, and their eyes suddenly became bad. They either snorted or left in anger.

Zhao Rong blinked, thought about the attitudes of those male students, and nodded slowly.

So that's how it is. He probably understood a little bit.

Isn't this Nanci Jingshe somewhat similar to the girls' dormitory in the university in the previous life, and he is now equivalent to an off-campus youth... No, he is now a student of Linlu Academy, um, equivalent to a student from the neighboring school who comes to ask for money.

Running into the girls' dormitory of someone else's school is obviously a bad intention, and he is either a rapist or a thief.

No wonder those students looked at him with disgust.

Zhao Rong coughed. In fact, he felt that the key to the problem was the unequal spending between the two parties.

There are many women in the four Taiqing prefectures, and Linlu Academy is simply a Buddhist temple except for a few female students.

There are few girls in your academy, and you keep eyeing our Taiqing Mansion covetously, trying to abduct our girls...

It’s no wonder they look unhappy. I would be unhappy too if I were them. But now, ahem, sorry, Qingjun is already mine.

Zhao Rong refused to give up and asked some passers-by, and finally found the way to Nanci Jingshe.

The residences of most of the female students in Taiqing Prefecture are located on the shore of a scenic lake. They are built along the lakeside in a winding and continuous row of buildings.

Looking around, you can see independent courtyards with different styles, but most of them are exquisite and unique.

According to what Zhao Rong heard from Zhao Lingfei and others that day, Qingjun should be living in a courtyard called Qinglianxuan.

It was already evening when Zhao Rong arrived at Nanci Jingshe. It was dark all around and it was pitch black so that people could not be seen clearly. However, there were many students coming and going around, most of them were women.

But... there are also quite a few men.

Zhao Rong made some rough inquiries and found out that Nanci Jingshe could not be entered directly. This was reasonable, after all, it was full of women's private rooms.

However, there was a memorial archway in front of Nanci Jingshe. In addition to the female students coming in and out, there was also a place next to the gate where a crowd of people gathered.

Zhao Rong walked closer and saw that it was a group of men surrounding several elderly female officials. It seemed that these female officials held positions similar to those of the concierges of Nanci Jingshe.

Some of the men surrounding them were asking them to call for help, while others were handing over letters and other items, which were sorted and placed in brocade boxes by the female officials.

Zhao Rong observed for a while and understood a little.

He then tucked the letter in his sleeve, walked forward, and found a shorter queue to join.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and there were not many people left in front of Zhao Rong, so he waited patiently.

At a certain moment, a man passed by Zhao Rong.

He glanced at her subconsciously.

Suddenly my eyelids twitched.

Zhao Rong quickly turned around and saw that the man who was about to leave was wearing the clothes of the academy. After a closer look, he realized that this was one of the senior brothers who came to Taiqing Mansion together. He remembered that when the senior brother was educating them not long ago, this senior brother complained that he hadn't done the homework assigned by Mr. Yan yet and had no time to run around. As a result, now...

The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth twitched, and he withdrew his gaze from the back of the senior brother who had probably finished his work and left, and looked around carefully.

It was dark before and I didn't look closely, but now I looked carefully and suddenly found two or three senior brothers who had nodded in agreement in front of the eldest senior brother not long ago.

Zhao Rong was suddenly speechless.

But before Zhao Rong could think more, a familiar voice came from the front again.

"Please give a message to Ye Zhilan at Xiaheyuan. Tell her that...Brother Yushu is looking for her."

"Okay, please wait." said a female official.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Rong paused and slowly turned his head to look.

At the front of the team where he was standing, there was a man wearing a student's blue robe, a flowing turban, and holding a folding fan, with his back to him.

If it’s not Fan Yushu, then who could it be?

Didn't you say you were going to have a drink with the senior brother? How did you end up here...

Zhao Rong scratched his nose with his fingers.

Wow, they are all acting geniuses.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting...

Zhao Rong licked his lips and looked around carefully. Could it be that his senior brother was here too?

Fortunately, there was no sign of Li Jinshu.

Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after.

The female official who delivered the message for Fan Yushu returned alone and said softly, "Miss Ye said she is not familiar with you and asked you not to come to her again."

As soon as these words came out, in Zhao Rong's sight, Fan Yushu's shoulders slumped slightly. He was silent for a moment, and seemed to lower his head and sigh. He took something out of his sleeve and handed it over with both hands, "Please help me give it to her... Ye Zhilan from Xiaheyuan, please."

"No problem." The female official smiled slightly. It was obvious that she had seen this situation many times and was used to it. She took the things handed to her by Fan Yushu and placed them in a special brocade box.

Seeing this, Zhao Rong tilted his head curiously, walked around Fan Yushu's back that was blocking his view, and finally saw clearly that what he handed over was an exquisite letter.

It seems familiar...

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows. Isn't this what he wrote seriously when he met Fan Yushu in the morning?

At that time, Zhao Rong thought that Fan Yushu was studying seriously and taking notes, but he didn't expect that he was writing a love letter early in the morning just like him!

Thinking so.

The next second, Fan Yushu suddenly turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhao Rong subconsciously dodged to the side.

It would have been better if he didn't move, because as soon as he moved, Fan Yushu just happened to look at him.

In an instant.

The two looked at each other.

Fan Yushu: “…”

Zhao Ziyu: “…”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhao Rong felt that he should say something, but what should he say?

Brother Yushu, I just saw you licking... No, this will probably end our friendship immediately.

Brother Yushu, hold on, keep licking, lick to the end, and you will have everything you want… No, no, saying this, my conscience suddenly hurts a little.

All this just happened in a moment.

Zhao Rong had a lot of thoughts.

At this moment, Fan Yushu's expression gradually became somewhat ugly. Zhao Rong felt that he was about to suffer from embarrassment just by looking at him...

However, this scene was not a problem for him, a veteran of many battles.

Zhao Rong's eyes suddenly opened and his mouth slightly opened, "Oh, what a coincidence, you're here too!"

He looked as if he had just discovered the other person.

Fan Yushu was quiet for a while, staring at Zhao Rong with some suspicion.

The latter looked him in the eye.

Fan Yushu put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. His originally sharp voice was now a little hoarse. "Yes, yes, it's a coincidence... that..."

He raised his head and smiled brightly, waving the folding fan in his hand, "I'm sending something to my fiancée, she just entered Taiqing Mansion not long ago."

Zhao Rong nodded and said in understanding, "I understand. I understand. I am almost the same as you."

Fan Yushu's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Rong.

About the same as me? Um, Brother Ziyu, do you know where Taiqing Mansion is...

However, it was Zhao Rong's turn at this time.

He gave Fan Yushu an apologetic smile, then strode forward and came to the table where the female officials were sitting.

Zhao Rong said softly to the female officials, "Hello, please take a message to Qinglianxuan for me, saying... your husband is looking for her."

As soon as these words came out.

The surroundings gradually became quiet.

Many of the women entering and leaving the entrance of Nanci Jingshe suddenly stopped and turned around.

Fan Yushu at the back was stunned for a moment.

The female officials who were originally smiling did not move when they heard this, and just stared at Zhao Rong blankly.

Zhao Rong thought about it again, and confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then said:

"Yes, my wife lives in Qinglianxuan. Her name is Zhao Lingfei."
