Yesterday, because Teng Ke’s mansion held a housewarming party, General Tang specially allowed everyone to rest for half a day. This morning, they all had to go back to continue training.

"Xiaohao, come to the mansion more often when you have time."

It is rare for the taciturn Teng Ke to speak so long.

Today Yi Hao is going back to Pengcheng Academy to start formal school.

When he first settled down in the Teng Mansion, Teng Ke asked Butler Wan to take him to the academy to report. Butler Wan was a man who knew how to handle things, so he prepared a lot of gifts and sent them to the dean, asking him in Teng Ke's name to take good care of Yi Hao.

Yi Hao was also full of gratitude for this. This brother-in-law is really very good!

"Brother-in-law, I know."

"When the academy is closed, I will come to the mansion to find you."

Academies usually rest on every other day, that is, one day every nine days. This was generally the rest system in ancient times.

Thinking of Yinuo who had not yet gotten up, Teng Ke said calmly, "Your sister was very tired yesterday."

"Let her rest for a while."

"It's okay to go to the academy later."

Yi Hao always felt that his brother-in-law would have a lot to say about anything related to his second sister, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

Seeing that Teng Ke had already started the task and even said these few words to him, he dared not disobey and nodded quickly.

After Teng Ke left, Yi Hao took the children back to his yard to pack up. The children didn't have to go to class today, so they could just send him off together.

"Uncle, this is Aotuman."

"It's very powerful. As long as there is light, it will appear and can defeat all monsters."

"It's my good friend. My mother made it for me."

As he spoke, Teng Runchen's eyes turned red: "I want to give him to you."

Yi Hao felt warm in his heart. He looked at the child who was trying hard not to cry and touched his little head.

"Brother Chen is so good, thank you."

"A gentleman does not take away what others love."

"Since it is your favorite, your uncle cannot take it away."

Unexpectedly, Teng Runchen wiped his eyes and immediately laughed.

"I knew my uncle wouldn't want it."

"But it doesn't matter. I have prepared a second gift for you."

"This is Pinocchio. It was made by my mother."

"But mother said it loves to lie and its nose will grow longer."

"Chen'er doesn't like it, you can take it away!"

!!!

Yi Hao was a little amused!

Thank you so much!

If you don't like it, let me take it away?

Teng Runhong gently pulled Yi Hao's sleeve and stuffed a small purse into his pocket.

Although he still can't speak, you can tell what he wants to say from his expression, but his younger brother Teng Runchen still habitually helps him translate.

"Uncle, my brother said this money is for you."

"This is our pocket money. If we behave well, mother will reward us."

Yi Hao was really touched. These two little guys were worthy of his love for him in the past. They always thought of giving him the good things.

But he couldn't accept it: "You are sensible, and your uncle is very pleased."

"But my uncle is an adult now, it's not proper for him to take money from a child."

"Don't worry, uncle has money. Next time I come, I'll bring you some candied haws."

Although the two children didn't understand what was inappropriate, they knew that their uncle didn't want it. Mother said that you shouldn't force others to have something they don't want.

Brother Teng Runhong nodded obediently, put the purse into his pocket, then took out the snacks he had prepared long ago and stuffed them into Yi Hao's hand.

Yi Hao touched his brother's little head again with deep emotion.

When Yinuo came over, Yihao had already packed his things. She didn't say anything, but asked the three of them to get on the carriage and go out.

After getting on the carriage, the children leaned against the window in amazement, looking at the lively scenery outside, while Yinuo took out the bag that he had prepared long ago.

"Here are two sets of thicker clothes and a pair of shoes for you to change into."

"There are also some quilts and beds, all ready."

"Let Wanyi accompany you upstairs in a moment, and leave after you are settled."

Yi Hao originally wanted to refuse, but he knew that this was also his sister's intention, and he couldn't refuse.

"Thank you, second sister."

Seeing the sincerity on his face, Yinuo also smiled happily: "There is no need to be so polite between siblings."

As she spoke, she took out a jade hairpin from her sleeve and before Yi Hao could react, she put it directly on his head.

"You are already past the age of twenty and have reached adulthood. You should also have a decent hairpin."

"Your brother-in-law asked me to buy this hairpin, so don't take it off."

Seeing that he was about to take it off, Yinuo hurriedly said.

As expected, the one who knew him best was Yinuo. When Yihao heard this, he stopped what he was doing.

Yinuo patted his shoulder: "Don't feel burdened."

"Sister knows that you study to make a name for yourself."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"But my sister hopes that you study because you really want to study."

Yi Hao was stunned. It was obvious that he was a little surprised to hear this.

The two stopped talking. The children were still looking at the scenery outside the window. Yinuo joined them and explained to them while watching. Yihao, however, sat there in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The carriage quickly left the city and arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Pengcheng Academy, also known as Songshan Academy, is located on Songshan Mountain on the outskirts of Pengcheng. It covers a large area and has a quiet and comfortable environment, making it the most suitable place for students to concentrate on studying.

The academy was divided into three levels: first, second, and third. After three years, students would take the spring examination, just like the first, second, and third grades of high school today. Students would take the college entrance examination after three years. Students would start at the first level and then move up. The textbooks were also taught from the simplest to the more difficult, step by step.

Because the academies were built on mountains, the deans of all academies were also called mountain directors.

The current principal is Qi Xingzhi, a fifth-rank Hanlin Academy editor who was appointed by the emperor to be the principal. He is now over 40 years old. He has been the principal of Pengcheng Academy for five years. During these five years, he has trained many scholars, but unfortunately, he still failed to produce a top three scholar.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Yinuo pulled the children out of the car and saw him off.

"Uncle, we will miss you."

The two children hugged Yihao's neck tightly, buried their heads in his shoulders, and were unwilling to let go.

Yi Hao held the two children in one hand and comforted them, "Uncle is only here to study. He will come back to see you after he has a rest."

Over the past half month, the children have been pestering Yihao to tell them stories and explain books to them every day. The two have become very dependent on their uncle, and they must be reluctant to be separated suddenly.

Yinuo had no choice but to tell them: "If you don't come down, your uncle will be late for lunch."

"What if I'm hungry then?"
