"Junior Brother Ci, sit here."
Bai Ye waved to Ci Song enthusiastically and motioned for him to sit next to her.
"Senior Brother Bai." Ci Song smiled slightly in return.
Bai Ye saw that there was a girl accompanying Ci Song, but seeing how close she and Ci Song were, he guessed, "This girl must be Junior Sister Mo Yao, right?"
After saying that, he stood up and personally pulled out a chair for Ci Song and Mo Yao.
"Mo Yao, this is Senior Brother Bai Ye. When I first took the admissions exam, he was my guide." Ci Song introduced Bai Ye to Mo Yao.
"I am Mo Yao. I have met Bai Ye and all the senior brothers." Mo Yao saluted everyone present at Yansheng Academy.
"Concubine, concubine?" Bai Ye thought he heard wrongly. What did this person call himself?
"My concubine, Mo Yao, is already engaged to Ci Song, so naturally she and Ci Song should treat each other as husband and wife."
Mo Yao explained very calmly, there was no trace of shyness or coyness in her words, but she was very generous and decent.
"Is that so?" Bai Ye and the senior brothers present were stunned.
"Yao'er, is it too early for you to say this now?"
Ci Song helplessly looked at Mo Yao sitting next to him. He didn't expect that Mo Yao, a little girl, was really thoughtful.
"What, brother Ci Song doesn't want to marry me?" Mo Yao looked at Ci Song pitifully and pouted subconsciously.
"I..." Ci Song was choked by Mo Yao's words.
"Hahaha!" Upon seeing this, all the senior brothers burst into laughter. One of them looked at Ci Song and said, "Junior Brother Ci, no wonder you came a few days earlier than us. You came to meet your fiancée?"
"It seems so. Junior Brother Ci can have such a frank, straightforward and generous husband. I really envy me."
"Oh, unlike me, I am still alone this morning despite my weak years. It's really sad." Another senior brother also sighed and shook his head.
"Okay, stop teasing us."
Ci Song also smiled helplessly, then turned to look at Mo Yao, and saw a trace of blush on Mo Yao's cheeks.
"This little girl knows how to be shy?" Ci Song complained inwardly.
Bai Ye, who was sitting next to Ci Song, was smiling, looking at Ci Song and Mo Yao with eyes full of relief, "Junior brother Ci, since we are a good match, let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
With that said, Bai Ye poured two cups of tea for Ci Song and pushed the tea cups in front of Ci Song and Mo Yao.
"Why use tea instead of wine? It's a blessing, so it's natural to celebrate with good wine!" Mo Yao asked in return.
Seeing that Mo Yao actually wanted to drink, Ci Song stretched out his knuckles and tapped Mo Yao's head lightly, "You little girl, how can you drink at your age?"
"Hmm~" Mo Yao pretended to be in pain, holding her head, looking at Bai Ye as if asking for help, and said: "Brother Bai Ye, look at Ci Song, he bullies me."
"No, are you going to complain to my senior brother now?"
Ci Song helplessly held his forehead. Mo Yao looked like a lady, but she didn't expect to be such an eccentric person.
"Junior Brother Ci Song is right. You are still young, so you should have tea instead of a bar." Bai Ye replied with a smile.
Seeing this, Mo Yao had no choice but to nod in agreement. The food was served and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious. Mo Yao behaved very appropriately when facing Ci Song's senior brothers, without any pretense.
"Brother Ci Song, I'll take a step first. I'll come back to you after the process is officially completed." After the meal, Mo Yao whispered to Ci Song.
"Well, you can go back with peace of mind." Mo Yao nodded, saluted all the students from Yan Sheng Academy, and walked out of the restaurant first.
"We've almost eaten. It's time to go to the Caiqi Building to prepare." Bai Ye said to everyone.
. . . . .
The Five Courtyard Tea Party, as the name suggests, is a tea party jointly organized by Yansheng Academy, Zilu Academy, Zigong Academy, Zengsheng Academy, and Kongsheng Academy where Mo Yao was studying.
At this time, all the students from the five colleges gathered in front of the Caiqi Building. Each college stood in four rows, and in the center of them, there was a huge round platform. On the round platform, stood five people, representing the five schools. The leader of the team this time.
Ci Song looked up, but did not find a familiar face. His teacher Ning Ping'an was not among them. Instead, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, wearing a white uniform that represented Yan Sheng Academy. Confucian robe.
"I've kept everyone waiting for a long time. I couldn't sleep last night, so I slept a little bit today."
A voice reached the ears of everyone who was cleaning Cinderella. They saw the master wearing a coarse linen clothes, walking up the steps to the high platform, and said to everyone present.
"Greetings to the Master."
The two hundred and ninety-six students present plus the five leading teachers saluted the Master at the same time.
"You don't have to be polite." I saw the master climbed up to the high platform and murmured in a low voice: "You are indeed getting older. The stairs really seem to be getting higher as you climb."
The Master's voice was like a divine message, reaching everyone's ears clearly.
"It's a joke, it's a joke, don't take it seriously." The master smiled and waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "All other messy projects will be cancelled. All students will go directly to the Caiqi Building to compete for the tea banquet position."
Hearing this, the students present were very surprised, but they were happy in their hearts. After all, this would save a lot of energy. After all, according to the general process, they had to listen to the Master's speech to the leader of each college, and then proceed The leading teachers will introduce the participating students from each college, which will take a lot of time.
"Master, is there anything wrong with what you did?"
One of the team leaders asked Confucius. He was wearing a gray Confucian robe, which was different from the other four academies. He should have come from Confucius and Sheng Academy.
"Kong Liang, sometimes some tedious steps can be omitted. After all, you are not here to see us old guys.
The one who spoke wanted to enter the Caiqi Building as soon as possible and compete for the precious tea banquet. Moreover, the Five Academy Tea Party was originally intended for the various academies to discuss, communicate, and learn. Such red tape would only affect everyone's interest. "
The Master explained to Kong Liang that he was not looking at Kong Liang when he spoke, but at the students in the audience.
"It's just that this is a rule handed down from previous years. If you do this, wouldn't it be a violation of etiquette?" Kong Liang's tone contained a hint of hesitation.
The master smiled and said: "Etiquette is indeed very important, but sometimes, cumbersome etiquette means being verbose. I just want everyone to do the most things in the shortest time. I wonder if other team leaders have any objections? "
As soon as the master said this, the other four team leaders had no objection. They seemed to have been accustomed to the master's style. The master was never the kind of stubborn old man who followed the rules. He would always do what he wanted and never stick to the rules.
