The small argument ended with the man watching the excitement and walking away.
After returning, the gentlemen from Jiujiang Academy all expressed that they would go there next time they were entertained. The female students in their own academy were weak and easily bullied!
It's just that they thought very well, but the great Confucian scholars in Ajong refused to see the women's school. Even if the college where the former Qi girl studied refused their inspection, they did not force it.
Jiujiang Academy was even on their undesirable list.
The young man and the young lady from Jiujiang Academy couldn't find the former Qi scholar, so they debated with those men who were watching the excitement. The debate suddenly became popular, and the reputation of Jiujiang Academy students for being argumentative and crazy spread out. Since then, those who are good at arguing have rushed to Jiujiang Academy, while those who are less talkative have changed their minds after hearing about Jiujiang Academy.
As members of Jiujiang Academy, Sheng Yuan and her friends were far away from the center of the trend, so they traveled to the suburbs of Beijing.
"Let's practice riding and shooting today, so that you can follow Qiugari!"
When Anyu mentioned Qiu Hunting, his features were filled with excitement.
"Tomorrow, the students from the three academies participating in the autumn hunt will gather at the village in front. Should we go there first to explore the way?" Lu Sheng has always been careful, and he always has to do everything carefully to feel at ease.
Sheng Yuan's round eyes looked around for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go over and have a look."
Seeing that the three children were acting as they pleased, Chengdong could only lead the three guards to clear the way.
The Zhuangzi we are gathering at this time is the property of Jiujiang Academy, and we can reach it just two miles ahead.
There are six hot springs in Zhuangzi. The place is not big, but it is far away from the mountains and forests and adjacent to the official road. It is more than enough to arrange students from the three academies participating in the autumn hunt.
The three people from Shengyuan knocked on the door and entered. The boy guarding the door saw the badges on their academy uniforms and immediately welcomed them warmly.
The three of them walked around for a while and saw that everything was well done. They just picked up food and accommodation and reminded them before leaving.
"If you are tired from playing, please come here and take a rest. Taking a bath in the hot spring will be particularly refreshing." When the steward sent them out, he chatted for a few words, "Recently, there have been fewer and fewer domestic animals sent from the nearby villages. Fortunately, we and the nearby Zhuangzi must be very coordinated, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Chief Supervisor tomorrow."
Sheng Yuan knew that the Zhuangzi of Jiujiang Academy did not raise livestock, and usually ordered food from surrounding villages. Some time ago, they went to the southern suburbs to play, and met Mr. Shuyuan on the way. They went to the Zhuangzi there to rest, and heard from the steward there. This happened.
"No villages are breeding now? Didn't I say that there are many good breeders in the nearby villages?" The head of Lu Sheng's family praised the skills of the farmers here.
"It is said that people from many villages have gone south to make money." The manager shook his head and sighed, "Life in the villages in Kyoto is pretty good. Not to mention having no worries about food and clothing, it is not difficult to have food and clothing, so why bother leaving home?"
"This is really interesting. I heard that people move to work, but I also heard that people leave their hometowns and become poor. I don't know which of the old sayings about spears and shields is correct." An Yu was very curious.
"Haha, of course they're all right!" The manager laughed, "Who would be happy to stay away from their homeland unless it's a last resort? It's naturally difficult to do anything when you're not familiar with the place outside.
But if it is difficult to make a living without property or employment in your hometown, you will naturally have to go out and give it a try. As long as you survive, it doesn't matter whether it is difficult or not. "
After hearing this, Anyu couldn't understand: "Are there any people in Kyoto who can't survive?"
Isn’t it the best time to live and work in peace and contentment under the emperor’s feet?
"Our great Chu capital is doing well. After all, there has been no war for hundreds of years. Most of the people have saved their family fortunes. Even if it is not much, their lives are still okay."
"Where are the other places in Dachu?"
The steward smiled and shook his head: "Da Chu has a vast territory, and there are always differences."
With that said, Sheng Yuan and the other three came to the front door, said goodbye to the steward and prepared to go to the path.
Just then, a group of villagers came quickly pushing a wooden cart loaded with livestock.
When they passed each other, Sheng Yuan turned around.
"Are you okay?" Anyu pushed her gently.
Sheng Yuan shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Sheng also had a pensive expression.
"What's going on?" Anyu looked at the two of them and stunned them with their gazes.
, I couldn’t even understand it, and I suddenly became unhappy, “Can’t you just say what you have to say?”
"Do you think there are many people practicing martial arts in the village?" Sheng Yuan didn't like him being noisy, so she simply asked him a question to make him think.
Anyu shook his head sincerely and looked at Lu Sheng again.
"Are there many people with military backgrounds in the nearby villages?"
Hearing this, Anyu's face gradually showed confusion.
He didn't understand what his good friend meant.
"Is there someone hoarding troops?" After finally thinking clearly about his friend's intentions, An Yu exclaimed, causing his friend to look at him angrily.
Can this be said? !
"Chengdong, take someone to take a look!" Anyu exclaimed, breathing quickly with excitement, "We will report to my uncle after we investigate thoroughly!"
"Young lady, you should go back to the capital first!" Cheng Dong was also excited, but considering that his main task was to protect these three little masters, he wanted to persuade them to return to the capital first.
Unfortunately, not to mention Anyu who was already dreaming of adventure, even Lu Sheng and Sheng Yuan were reluctant to leave.
"Just watch from a distance. If we don't get too close, how would they know." Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, and the long knife beside his waist seemed to be humming happily.
Sheng Yuan also felt the drumming in her heart. The excitement of seeing a situation that only existed in history books made her ignore her subconscious caution:
"Since we agreed to go hunting, we have just met those people. They are going to Zhuangzi to deliver livestock. They are not allowed to talk about us. If we change the plan rashly, it may arouse their suspicion."
She said this, providing a more appropriate reason for Anyu and Lu Sheng. They immediately said something to each other, clapped their horses excitedly, and kicked and spun around in circles.
Chengdong looked at the three people who hit it off with a headache, and he felt that the credit he had received might be slipping away.
"I agreed that I would only check outside. The young lady must keep her word." Cheng Dong had no choice but to compromise and could only arrange for his subordinates to provide more thorough protection.
Seeing that Chengdong didn't stop him, Shengyuan and the other three nodded excitedly and agreed to Chengdong's conditions.
Isn't he just pretending to be a dandy, horse racing and hunting? This is not difficult for them at all. Not to mention it's a pretense, it's not a problem to be a real dude for a while!
In the blink of an eye, Chengdong and the others watched the three little guys who wanted to join in the fun slap their horses and gallop away.
Instantly, he felt a string of laughter rushing towards him, and the tension gradually dissipated.
Sheng Yuan and the others moved forward according to the topographic map of the suburbs of Beijing, passing through many very small villages. Some of these villages were marked on the topographic map, while others had no trace.
"Sister Yuan, are you sure you remember correctly?" After sorting out the information, Anyu and Lu Sheng couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the dozen or so extra villages.
Sheng Yuan raised her head in dissatisfaction and said with great pride: "You can question my arithmetic ability, but you can't question my memory!"
