Traveling through ancient farming

Ten Mile Slopes

Chang Ming struggled for a while, but decided to come down and eat outside.

It's rare to come to Licheng once, but you have to find out the special snacks in the city.Forget about big dishes, there is no money to buy them.Snacks are still available.

The two gave a total of half a month's accommodation money.In order to save money, two people sleep in one bed.Chang Ming has a good sleeping position, which position he sleeps at night and wakes up in the morning.Yuan Bao feels insecure when sleeping, and likes to curl himself up.Woke up in the morning and automatically leaned into Changming's arms.

Chang Ming was flattered in his heart, but he said it out of his mouth.

"You have a bad sleeping position, and I didn't sleep well. Be more honest in the future."

Yuan Bao readily agreed, and slept at night, leaning against the wall.The face is also facing the wall.Chang Ming was so angry that he pouted and couldn't sleep.When Yuan Bao fell asleep, he forcibly turned Yuan Bao's head back, and when Yuan Bao leaned against his arms, he closed his eyes and went to sleep with a smile on his lips.

It took the two of them more than ten days to get acquainted with the streets and alleys of Licheng.Try all the special snacks one by one.

The flesh on Chang Ming's face puffed up.

Yuan Bao seems to have grown a little taller.

The room expired, and the two did not renew the contract, so they returned the house and went to Qingcheng Academy in Shilipo in the suburbs to have a look.

Shilipo, as the name suggests, is a small hill ten miles away from Licheng.

Qingcheng Academy is on the top of the mountain. The academy covers an area of ​​[-] acres. In addition to elementary school classes, there are also scholar classes.There is a small market at the foot of the mountain, and many farmers around come here to set up stalls, gradually forming a small town.

Because it is a spontaneous activity, the scale is the size of a small town, but it does not have a name. Everyone calls it a small market.

Next to the academy, the housing prices here are particularly high.After all, it is considered a school district room.Just for renting, a small yard costs five taels of silver a month.

tsk tsk!
One must know that Chang Ming's small yard in the town is rented out for only five or six taels of silver for a year.It costs five taels of silver a month here.You have to be lucky to find a vacant house.

The time when the two of them went to the market happened to be the end of school time, and the students from the academy came down the mountain to go shopping or go home.

Thirty old Mingjing and fifty young Jinshi.

A Jinshi at the age of 50 is considered young and promising.Many of the scholars here have already married.The wife or the whole family moved in to take care of them nearby.

There are quite a lot of scholars returning home.

The small stalls at the foot of the mountain became bustling because the scholars were out of class.

Yuan Bao watched with relish.

This situation is a bit like the scene where the surrounding snacks are bustling when get out of class is over on a university campus.Some small nostalgia!
Chang Ming opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Bao with shining eyes looking at the scholars passing by.I feel a little unhappy.Pulling Yuan Bao's rest, said aggrieved.

"Tomorrow we will take the letter to see if we can enter school. If we can enter school, I will study."

Chang Ming clenched his fist.

My daughter-in-law can only look at me!
After hearing this, Yuan Bao smiled and nodded.

When I went to the inn and asked, the price of the inn here was similar to that in Licheng.The price in the suburbs is really expensive!
After giving money for three days, the two still lived in the same room.

Chang Ming lay on the bed feeling a little uneasy.

"Do you think Mr. will not accept me?"

Yuan Bao encouraged.

"Come on! If we don't accept you, we'll spend money to get in. I heard that you can enter the school if you give 100 taels."

Changming: .
In order not to spend 100 taels of wronged money, I have to work hard to get the master to accept me!

Yuan Bao took the initiative to buy some fruits and pastries, and sent Chang Ming outside the academy with a letter of recommendation.Although it is a small hillside, carrying these things, Chang Ming's burden is a bit heavy.The hand is numb, the master is testing handwriting, and Chang Ming is not good enough to perform well.

If it wasn't for the academy not allowing women to enter, even Yuan Bao wanted to send her to the academy to meet his master together.
