Dominate the ancient academy

Apart from other things, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is very conspicuous on this street. A stone lion more than one meter tall stands in front of the door. The door is open, which is very extraordinary.

As soon as the master and servant arrived at the door, a burly man asked, "Young Master, are you going to escort the convoy?"

"Is there anyone going to Kyoto? We want to go with the escort agency to Kyoto to seek asylum."

"Yes, we will set off in an hour. For ten taels of silver, you can follow the escort, but you will be responsible for any problems you encounter on the way. For fifty taels of silver, we can escort you safely to Kyoto."

It seems that the escort agency has always had this kind of business, and it is quite flexible.

"We want fifty taels of silver for an escort to Kyoto."

"Okay! Come over in an hour. The carriage can be in the middle of the escort and we guarantee that you will arrive in Kyoto safely."

"Do you need me to prepare some food for you on the road?" Rich people are the masters, and the big man was obviously much more enthusiastic than before.

"No, we'll prepare our own food." It's better to prepare the food yourself to avoid being tampered with.

"Okay, we'll set off from here in an hour."

These young masters have high requirements for food and generally look down on their dry rations, so he was just asking as a routine question.

Shu Xiaoxiao sighed that as long as you have enough money, there are VIPs everywhere.

There was still an hour before their departure, so Shu Xiaoxiao and Zhenzhu hurried to buy dry food. The escort said that they would reach the next town in five days, so they only needed to buy enough for five days. In addition to the dry food, they also bought two more beddings to put in the car to keep them soft and convenient for them to rest at night.

After buying things, there was still some time, so Shu Xiaoxiao thought about it and asked the grass on the roadside. She knew that Guard Kong would be here soon, so she wrote a letter and found a little beggar to wait at the city gate. When she saw a black-faced guard with a scar on his forehead, she gave the letter to him.

She still had to let her grandfather and the others know her whereabouts, otherwise it would be too tragic for her to be caught as soon as she got there. By the time she arrived at the academy, her grandfather and mother should have figured it out.

When Guard Kong saw the letter, he also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the young lady still had some sense and it would be much safer for her to follow the escort agency. He directly sent two people back to explain the situation to Doctor Ye, and they secretly escorted the young lady all the way.

When Ye Xue Ning received the letter, she read it several times before she was sure that her daughter had really run away from home. She wanted to find her immediately, but she was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed, and only asked them to protect her secretly.

Let my daughter do whatever she wants, because she always has her back.

When they set off, Shu Xiaoxiao discovered that there were quite a few people going to Kyoto with the escort company, but most of them followed at the end with ten taels of silver. There was only their family in the middle like them. The fifty taels of silver should be for their protection as escorts.

"Young master, you can travel with us. Just let us know if you need anything. But we won't stop often. After all, the goods need to be delivered to the employer on time." The handsome escort instructed.

"Don't worry, we are in a hurry too and won't cause trouble on the way." Is he worried that they will fall behind on the way?

The escort looked at Shu Xiaoxiao seriously before turning and leaving.

"Let's go!"

Following the escort's shout, the convoy slowly moved out.

"Shanbao, we are on the road now. We only have this one portion of fish soup. If you have it back, you can drink water or get some supplies in town. I will compensate you with the rest when we get to Kyoto." Shu Xiaoxiao whispered.

"There are so many people along the way, you must not make too much noise, and you must not let anyone discover you."

"I tell you, you are very valuable outside. If you are discovered, I can't save you." Shu Xiaoxiao said cautiously. She couldn't be the only one who was nervous. She also had to be on guard against the treasures.

"Don't worry, I know that no one will find me." Shenbao was calm. If he was found, he would have lived in vain. Shu Xiaoxiao decided to keep Shenbao around. There were all kinds of people in the academy. It would be difficult to deal with him if he ran around and was found.

"Shenbao, you should also listen carefully when we go to the 'Yuren Academy'. From now on, you will not be an ordinary ginseng, but a cultured ginseng."

Shen Bao was a little stunned: "Is there any difference?"

"Think about it, humans can only become officials if they are well-educated, and you are an ancestor. Wouldn't it be even more impressive if you can read?"

"And let's not talk about plants, even animals in this world, if you have ever heard of anyone who has been to school, you will be the first one in the plant and animal world to read! In the future, your disciples, as well as flowers, plants and trees, will be so envious of you if they know that you have read books!"

"From now on, you will be an educated ginseng. This will bring honor to your family!"

Shen Bao felt that his whole person, no, his whole body, had been elevated: "Yes, I want to study too!"

When it was in Qinglian Village, it knew that many humans in the village wanted their children to study, saying that it would bring honor to the family. Those humans envied the children who had studied. What did this mean? It meant that studying was a good thing!

Although it is already an ancestor, it will become more powerful after reading books.

It is going to study, and then teach the plants on the mountain when it returns. In the future, all the plants on the entire mountain will become learned plants, which is much better than humans.

"Don't worry, I'll take you with me whenever I go to class in the future. You also have to work hard, and then we'll see who's better."

Shu Xiaoxiao was full of confidence, but she didn't know that her enthusiasm for learning about treasures now would hurt her future self, but that's a story for later.

Shu Xiaoxiao found that the fifty taels were well worth it. The escorts calculated the time and destination very accurately. In addition, the robbers on the road let the robbers go after hearing the name of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Shu Xiaoxiao was also glad that she did not come alone like a fool.

Seeing Kyoto just around the corner, Shu Xiaoxiao paid the balance to the escort agency, but did not plan to go in. She bypassed Kyoto and went directly to Yong'an Town at the foot of the "Yuren Academy" mountain.

Yong'an Town was built after the rise of the "Yuren Academy". It is a veritable school district town. Because the "Yuren Academy" is close, it is more lively than ordinary towns. Those wealthy students or teachers sometimes come down to change their taste.

Therefore, scholars in student uniforms or teachers in long gowns can be seen everywhere in the town, and the whole town is filled with the atmosphere of literati.

A few days ago, Steward Lin heard from his wife that the young lady was going to study at the "Yuren Academy", so he was told to wait here for the young lady and go back after she was settled.

According to his wife, the young lady would be here in the next two days, so he was sitting in front of the tea stall at the city gate waiting. At first, he paid attention to the young lady, but later he thought that the young lady must be dressed as a man to study here, and he stared at those young masters with delicate looks, and almost thought he was a human trafficker!

Looking at the two young men walking into Yong'an Town, Butler Lin confirmed that they were his daughters. He quickly threw down two copper coins and greeted them: "I am the butler of the general's mansion, and this is your cousin from Qinglian Village." Butler Lin bowed and said with a smile.

Shu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly. This was Uncle Lin from the mansion. He often sent her things, so they were old acquaintances. It seemed that her mother had already prepared everything for her.

"My mother and aunt asked you to come and pick me up?"

"Yes, Madam has already arranged a place for the young master to live. Please come with me."

Two quarters of an hour later, Steward Lin brought the two to a large house with two entrances. When they entered the house, Steward Lin's face was full of distress: "Miss, this is just a yard that Madam prepared for you. She said that if you study here, it would be more convenient to have a yard."

"It's inconvenient for too many people to know about your situation, so I've prepared two sturdy maids and two errand boys. If you don't see enough, I'll add more people."

Butler Lin was rescued by Shu Jingtian on the battlefield. He is loyal to the General's Mansion. Although he felt that it was not appropriate for the young lady to study in the academy, he still arranged everything.

"These are enough. There is no need to add more people. I am now Ye Xiao from Qinglian Village. I don't need so many people."

"Uncle Lin, what did my mother say?" he asked cautiously.

"Madam said that Miss can study here without worry, and Madam will keep it a secret for you. Guard Kong has also returned to Qinglian Village to continue to watch over Miss."

"Okay, mother still loves me." She felt more relieved when someone cleaned up the mess.

Seeing the young lady's happy look, Uncle Lin poured cold water on her and said, "Madam said that she didn't even tell the Third Young Master, so if you meet the Third Young Master, you can solve it yourself."

"Okay, I got it." She knew she would definitely meet the Third Brother when she came. The Third Brother was easy to coax, so she just had to say a few nice words to him.
