Sheng Yuan followed her parents to the foot of Yunqi Mountain and saw a pavilion standing quietly beside it.
A plaque with clear texture hangs directly above the pavilion, and three powerful characters are engraved on the plaque - "Yunqi Pavilion".
Two couplets are engraved on the stone pillars on both sides of the wooden plaque: "You can see the young colt hidden in the blue clouds, and the red clouds occasionally perch in the company of talented people".
"Yunqi Academy is at the top of Yunqi Mountain. Although it sounds very high, Yunqi Mountain itself is only a hundred meters tall. There are study rooms, shops, teahouses, restaurants, inns and other places to entertain tourists and students halfway up the mountain. If you are tired, you can You can have some meals or rest there, so going up and down the mountain is not difficult."
Mr. Sheng is not unfamiliar with Yunqi Academy. He has been there several times before for his children to study, so he is very familiar with the route.
Shengyuan raised her head and looked at Yunqi Mountain hidden among the clouds. It was covered in green and covered with thin clouds, and a mountain road winding down like an elegant skirt. The scenery alone was very pleasant.
"This place is much more beautiful than Jiujiang Academy." Sheng Ran raised her head and held her sister's hand and couldn't help but sigh, "The temperament is completely different!"
"What is Jiujiang Academy like?" Sheng Yuan was curious. She remembered that her sister had said that it seemed very big.
"Except for a three-story bookstore, Jiujiang Academy is an ordinary courtyard. It has many venues for various competitions, as well as its own farm and a lawn used as a racecourse! It is the largest academy in the official academy. .
I heard that when the site for the academy was first selected, the land there was barren and the area was vast. Speaking of which, before Dayan, Jiujiang Academy would have been built across counties! "
Speaking of her own academy, Sheng Ran felt a little proud.
Sheng Xiangxun smiled and touched his eldest daughter's head: "Okay, I know you like Jiujiang Academy, but we are here to see Yunqi Academy today, so this is a more appropriate topic, right?"
"I know!" Sheng Ran stuck out her tongue and winked at Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan covered her mouth and snickered. After laughing, she started to look around, only to realize that there were few people here.
"Our family has stayed here for a long time and we haven't seen many passers-by." Sheng Yuan murmured in her heart, does anyone go to school here?
"Aren't you late? It's almost lunch time. Most of the pedestrians are probably halfway up the mountain." Sheng Xiangxun looked at the two girls with a smile.
The little sister suddenly felt guilty and avoided his sight.
Who made them stay up in bed in the morning?
The way up the mountain didn't seem to be difficult at all because there were beautiful views to see and the family was with us.
Sheng Yuan sat on her father's neck, shaking her head and sighing happily, and laughed angrily at Mr. Sheng who started to sweat.
"You're not tired! Have you walked two miles?" Mr. Sheng was so angry that he deliberately took two steps quickly, intending to bump this chubby little guy who was sitting and talking without pain in his back!
Sheng Yuan didn't expect that her father would scare her, and she screamed immediately.
Fortunately, Master Sheng held the little girl's paws, otherwise the little guy would have had his hair pulled out.
Mrs. Zheng walked behind with her eldest daughter in hand. The two of them smiled and watched the excitement. They felt that the quiet place made the two of them feel like they were in a noisy market.
Even this delicate scenery seemed to be dyed in a bright color, and the tranquility became festive.
When the family of four and their servants reached the mountainside, Mr. Sheng felt that he was about to stick out his tongue: "No! No! I have to unload the goods!" He hurriedly asked the servants and maids to carry the fat girl down!
"I told the servants and ladies to take turns hugging him, but you didn't listen." Ms. Zheng felt distressed and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"You can hug your daughter by yourself!" Mr. Sheng shook his fan to cool himself and his wife, and showed his wife his shoulders with a smile, "Look at how strong they are! I'm surprised they didn't bend the little fat girl!"
Sheng Yuan was patrolling the market in front of her with her sister when she heard her father and mother showing off. She immediately ran to her father, glared at her and said, "The baby is not heavy!"
Even a three-year-old girl doesn't like to be told that she is heavy.
"Okay! Okay! You're not heavy! It's because dad is getting older, so he's no better than before! I think back then, dad was not tired from hunting and carrying little wild boars!"
Ga? !
Sheng Yuan felt that something was wrong with these words, but she didn't think about what was wrong. When she saw her sister and mother covering their mouths and laughing softly, the servants and maids brought by the family also lowered their heads and shrugged, and they immediately realized what was wrong and cheered. Holding her little paws to compete with her father.
Mr. Sheng raised his legs and ran away, teasing the little girl with a laugh, causing the little girl to run after her on her knees.
Their family could be heard laughing on some deserted streets. The waiters who were dozing in the shop couldn't help but come to the door, leaning against the door and watching the excitement with a smile.
After all this fuss, the family chose to go up the mountain in a bamboo sedan.
Sheng Yuan followed her sister in a bamboo sedan. The little guy touched his belly and looked at his sister pitifully.
Sheng An was at a loss and called out to the nanny who was following her. She asked for two pieces of shortbread and handed one to her sister: "Here, here, let's have some. When we get to Yunqi Academy, we can go to the cafeteria." Dinner."
"I see there are several restaurants halfway up the mountain." Sheng Yuan ate and pointed down the mountain with her little finger.
"Dad said it's very quiet there, and I don't know if the ingredients are fresh or not, so I'll just go to the top of the mountain. Anyway, Yunqi Academy's food is famous far and wide."
Hearing that it was famous far and wide, Sheng Yuan felt that her hungry stomach could bear it for a while. The little guy looked at the shortbread as big as a chess piece and hesitated, but finally ate it. Well, children can’t waste food!
After walking a third of the way, the number of pedestrians on the mountain road gradually increased, and most of them were scholars holding hands and chatting and laughing.
After walking two-thirds of the way, more and more families were going up the mountain with their children.
"Sister, why do they insist on walking up the mountain?" Sheng Yuan found that everyone's eyes lingered on the bamboo sedan they were riding in from time to time, and asked her sister uncomfortably.
Before Sheng Ran could say anything, the bearer in front of him started laughing: "I am presumptuously adding this so that the young lady will know. This situation was caused by a rumor that spread out at some point, saying that Yunqi Academy only accepts people with perseverance." Students need to walk up the mountain to be admitted."
"Ah? You still have this request?" Shengyuan felt that the style here was not suitable for her! She can endure hardship, but hates being asked to endure hardship.
But I heard the bearer laughing and saying, "How can this be true! The headmaster of the Academy only requires the students taking the Tongsheng Examination to hike up and down the mountain two or three times every ten days, in order to exercise their physical strength so that they will not be unable to withstand the exam. .”
"Sure enough, the rumors are not credible!" After Sheng Yuan understood, she looked at the sweaty pedestrians on the stone steps beside her, and felt that the originally bumpy bamboo sedan had a different feeling.
Gee, it’s so comfortable!
