Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuyuan glanced at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on his desk. He was a little skeptical of what Xiao Hechuan said, but he wanted to believe it.
So, he looked around the entire classroom and his eyes fell on Lu Yao, the richest classmate.
His family had a little money, and he usually used the best wolf-hair brushes for writing and painting.
While the teacher was not here yet, he went straight to Lu Yao's desk.
Lu Yao is rather honest and old-fashioned, with a square face. He is a typical nerd who studies very hard, but he lacks talent. For the same article, others may only need to read it five times to remember it, but he needs to read it ten times.
Lu Yao held the book and looked at him with narrowed eyes. Before he could ask what was wrong, Qi Xiuyuan spoke first.
"Lend me your wolf-hair brush. I'll return it to you when the teacher comes."
Lu Yao was slow to react. After he finished speaking, he waited for a while before he slowly replied with a word "OK".
I've really become stupid from reading so much.
Qi Xiuyuan took the wolf-hair brush back to his desk and began to compare it with his original brush.
He is a native of Jeju, an only child. His parents run a small business on the street and are considered a well-off family. He has no pressure in studying, but he can't afford too nice things.
He made a comparison and it was true. The texture of this good pen was different in the hand. This wolf-hair brush was easier to use and the words written with it were smoother, as if the Ren and Du meridians were opened.
After using it, he started to have some opinions about the pen he had been using for a long time. No matter how he looked at it, this old friend was no longer useful.
He looked deeply at Xiao Hechuan who was sorting books. His expression was serious and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Finally, before the teacher came, he returned the pen to Lu Yao.
The first class was taught by Master Xu. As the bronze bell hanging outside the door rang, Xiao Hechuan began his day's classes at Baiyun Academy.
In fact, he has already taken these courses, and with his experience and memory, he can choose not to take these courses.
If he was not afraid of arousing suspicion, he could just attend his own teacher's class. In fact, there was nothing wrong in listening to it more than once. He would definitely get A's in every major exam every month in the future.
The teacher said that if you get first class honors, the academy will reward you with two taels of silver. Just remember to give him a pot of Yunanchun from Chunjiang Tower as a gift.
A pot of Yunanchun in Chunjiang Tower cost one or two taels of silver, which was considered as his tuition.
There are four classes in a row in the morning, and there is an hour lunch break at noon. Free lunch is provided in the college and the food is okay.
There are two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup. Students living in the academy have to pay extra for the evening meal, while lunch is free. In the morning, there are also steamed buns, porridge, cakes and the like.
As soon as the get out of class was over, Qi Xiuyuan took the initiative to come over to find Xiao Hechuan:
"Xiao Hechuan, I'll treat you to a meal at noon. I know there's an authentic Jeju restaurant next to the academy. It's delicious and not expensive. Since you reminded me today, I should treat you. We will not only be classmates but also deskmates in the future. Can you please do me a favor?"
After a morning, he found that the teachers seemed to be very interested in him and always asked him questions individually, and Xiao Hechuan could answer them easily and perfectly.
Qi Xiuyuan really wanted to deal with and become friends with such talented and capable people.
In the previous life, he was the one who took the initiative to deal with me first. His initiative earned us a lifelong friendship.
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you." Following the trajectory of his previous life, he did not reject Qi Xiuyuan's kindness towards him.
Qi Xiuyuan also called Lu Yao to join him, to repay him for lending him a pen in the morning.
Lu Yao agreed, and he took his little servant with the two of them to eat outside the academy.
Most students whose families are not bad and whose homes are not far away will choose to go home for lunch. In fact, most of the students who eat in the academy are the students who stay overnight.
After this meal, the three of them became familiar with each other, knew each other's names, and had a general understanding of each other's family background.
In general, Xiao Hechuan's family background is the most ordinary for now, and the one with the best family background is Lu Yao, whose family runs a cloth business. Qi Xiuyuan's father opened a shop on North Street, selling oil-paper umbrellas and fans, with a stable income. His mother is more powerful, and is said to be a female teacher who teaches at Jeju Girls' School.
Jeju Girls' School, as the name suggests, only accepts female students, and usually teaches musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and housekeeping.
You can also go to a girls' school to learn pastry making, and there are also hobbies such as flower arranging, tea ceremony, and chess that can be cultivated.
It is said that Qi Xiuyuan's mother was a female teacher who taught flower arrangement.
The three of them also became familiar with each other because of this meal.
After returning to the academy, there was another class in the afternoon. After the class, Xiao Hechuan had to go to Guangxian Hall to listen to the teacher's private lessons. After that, he could go home.
Mr. Zhong Yun asked him if he was used to the first day of classes in the academy. Xiao Hechuan replied that everything was fine. He was starting over again, so he was familiar with all the environment and people in the academy. He was even familiar with the teaching methods and habits of each teacher.
The first lesson Mr. Zhong Yun gave Xiao Hechuan was:
"One thought is enlightened, and one becomes sincere and honest!"
What this means is that most of the time, when you wake up in an instant, you must be able to recognize your inner conscience and sincerity, maintain your original intention and good nature, and be true and not hypocritical.
In just half an hour, Xiao Hechuan benefited a lot.
After finishing his studies, he once again stepped into the study room in Guangxian Hall. The furnishings were exactly the same as before, even the positions of many books had not changed.
It is clean, without a speck of dust. The teachers clean it themselves and never ask others to do it for them.
In his previous life, he hid in this study most of the time in order to seek peace and quiet. Only when he was here could his heart be truly peaceful.
Although I have to sneak around every time, it allows me to relax for a little while.
The teacher asked him to come in and look around, find a few books that interested him and take them home to read. He would check them from time to time.
He can already recite many of the books here by heart.
But in just two years, there are still some books he hasn't had time to read, so let's continue.
When he came out of Guangxian Hall, he was carrying a book bag that Xiao's mother had sewn for him, which contained the books he was going to read today.
But when passing by the garden, he met Ye Shu by chance.
She seemed to be waiting here on purpose, right in the pavilion, wearing her favorite moon-white skirt, sitting on the wheelchair, giving people a feeling of the cool white moonlight that was untainted by the mud.
She always likes to dress herself up to look untouched by the world and independent.
However, little do they know that they are always defiling such clean and pure color.
Because a person's heart is dirty, no matter how holy and white the clothes he wears, they are all fake.
