231.Huaiyuan Academy

"Madam is right."

Cheng Xi gave him an "I knew it" look. Think about it, who didn't wander around every corner of the school every day when they were in college? The number of steps they took during the school day would increase by several thousand, right?

There are indeed many steps going up to Huaiyuan Academy, but for the two of them today, this amount of exercise is really nothing, and they reached the end in a short time.

Standing halfway up the mountain, Cheng Xi turned back and looked down, feeling suddenly relieved.

Could it be that this is the benefit of building steps, so that students can experience the feeling of standing on a high place and looking down in advance?

With this in mind, she followed Shen Xingluo into the real gate of the academy. The scene in front of her suddenly became clear, and there were indeed many roads inside the academy as she thought.

"This is a place for students to rest. Huaiyuan Academy is a boarding school. Even students who live at the foot of the mountain need to live in the dormitory every day. In front of it is the library..."

The ancients emphasized the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and students had to study many courses. Lin'an Prefecture's students and academies were world-famous, so there were many scholars from all over the country.

It is really not an exaggeration to say that it encompasses students from all over the world.

Cheng Xi silently looked to his side, so he was really not an ordinary monster for being the first among the Yangyang students.

"There are three hundred students in your group alone?"

"Yes, most of them participated in Qiuwei last year, and about 130 people passed the examination."

"..." This is a bit much.

Scholars in ancient times were only one in a hundred, and even in Shenjiacun, there were only two scholars, which shows how precious scholars are. Such an academy has 300 people in the same batch, and half of them are candidates, which is absolutely unbelievable.

Cheng Xi once again expressed his respect for Huaiyuan Academy.

"How many levels of students are here?"

"Level 3: Enlightenment from 6 to 10 years old, exposure to imperial examination books from 10 to 15 years old, and most students above 15 years old have failed."

Chen Xingluo stopped and said, "We are here. If Madam is interested in the riding and shooting range, we can go shopping later."

"Okay, if it's still early in the morning."

Cheng Xi followed him and stood in front of a courtyard. After knocking on the door, a boy came out.

"Master Shen? Why are you here!"

"Today I came to visit my wife with my wife. I am here to serve as a secretary. Is Mr. Du here?"

"Yes, you are here. Sir is receiving guests in the front yard. It turns out this is Mrs. Shen. Please come in first. I will go and report to Sir."

The boy named Shishu was very polite. Perhaps it was because Shen Xingluo's injury caused too much trouble. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't help but cast his peripheral vision to his side. The surprise in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Chen Xingluo's expression didn't change, and Cheng Xi naturally didn't say a word to remind him. The boy could only hold it in secretly, served tea to the two of them, and then exited the living room to report to the master.

"You scared the little boy who served as the clerk quite a bit."

"I thought it looked scarier before?"

Cheng Xi looked at his intact side face and was immediately happy, "Maybe he was attracted by your appearance?"

"..."

Chen Xingluo froze in place while drinking tea and sighed helplessly.

The servant returned quickly, "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, sir, please move to the living room."

The two of them got up and walked behind him, turning around a long corridor and arriving at their destination. However, Cheng Xi was surprised when he saw clearly the three people sitting inside.

Mr. Jiang, Fu Cheng, and an old man with gray hair and elegant clothes.
