Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After several rounds of tests, Yiyi was able to answer questions fluently and in a stable mood. Although Dean Feng was not satisfied with some of her opinions, he also saw that Yiyi was a good candidate for academic research, so he was still very satisfied with this student.

"Very good, Mrs. Xia, you really taught a good daughter! Your daughter is very talented, and Mr. Yu taught her well. I wonder when Yiyi will be able to come to class?"

When Yiyi heard that Dean Feng was willing to accept her, she became a little excited, but she quickly calmed down.

Shanshan stood aside and was also happy for her.

Wang Yang was also standing at the back. Seeing the young lady get what she wanted, he was particularly happy for her.

"We have just arrived in Linyi Prefecture and the journey is long. We may need to rest for two days first. I want to take Yi Yi to familiarize herself with the environment of Linyi Prefecture and let her come to school the day after tomorrow. Does Dean Feng have any objection?" Xia Shengsheng asked.

Dean Feng shook his head to show his understanding and agreed to Yiyi's request to come back to class the day after tomorrow.

Afterwards, he took a few people around the academy.

After Dean Feng finished the get out of class, several students took a break and then had a Go class taught by a female teacher.

Xia Shengsheng and his companions were very careful when passing by where the students were taking classes, for fear of disturbing their studies.

After they left the place where they were studying, they asked Dean Feng some other things they needed to know.

Now, all the students who come to study are from Linyi Prefecture, so there are no students living in the academy.

Xia Shengsheng was a little worried about this. Would Yiyi be unsafe or lonely when she was alone?

Dean Feng seemed to see Xia Shengsheng's worry, and then explained, "Don't worry about safety, Madam Xia. The guards I hired are all very skilled. Although I don't have many students, I have a lot of guards.

There are a total of 30 guards, divided into three groups, patrolling the outer courtyard all the time. There are also more than ten strong women in the inner courtyard, who can ensure everyone's safety in the first time if anything happens.

When it comes to horseback riding and archery in Shangweichang, most people will follow each time they go out. If there are more students in the future, the number of guards will increase further.

Since there are only girls here, they will definitely be very careful about things like this.

Although there are no students living in the academy now, I and the five female teachers of the academy all live in the academy, so you can communicate with us in time if there is anything.

Every student who comes to live here can bring a maid and a boy with them, but the boy can only live in the outer courtyard, and the maid will pass on any messages."

Xia Shengsheng nodded to Dean Feng's explanation, looked at the layout of the courtyard, and felt relieved because it was relatively complete.

Finally, they talked about the issue of tuition fees. Dean Feng told the truth that her academy was open to everyone, regardless of whether they came from a well-off family or a poor family, all could come to study here.

The only thing is that the fees are divided into different levels, and the required tuition fees will be determined based on the student's family situation.

Because the expenses of her academy are quite high, she can't lower the price to a very low level to cover the expenses of the academy.

But if the tuition fee is raised, those poor families will not be able to come to study, which she does not want.

Therefore, when facing every student who comes to study, she will explain in advance the tuition collection method and rules.

And because of this reason, there are only a few students studying here in the past two months.

Xia Shengsheng actually felt that such charges were quite unreasonable.

But I also feel that if I don’t charge this fee, there seems to be no better way to achieve these two results.

So he just told the truth and reported his family situation. Dean Feng knew that Xia Shengsheng's family owned a factory, but because Xia Shengsheng's family lived in the countryside, he accepted Yi Yi with an annual tuition of 80 taels.

This fee includes food and accommodation for the master and his two servants.

The price is not cheap, but Xia Shengsheng can still afford it as long as the payment is good.

After the discussion, Xia Shengsheng and his companions left first, waiting to pay the tuition fee when they came to the academy the next day with the gifts for becoming a disciple.

These few days I plan to take Yiyi to familiarize herself with the city, and also take a few children to have a good look around Linyi Prefecture.

The people who yearned the most for Linyi Prefecture were Ye Chao and Er Cheng. They really wanted to go to Wangyuan Tower to take a look! !

Xia San also helped to find out the specific location of the Wangyuan Tower and knew the busiest time for the Wangyuan Tower.

Because it was crowded and noisy at night, and most of the people who went to the Wangyuan Tower were men, in order to avoid inconvenience for women, Xia Shengsheng specially dressed herself and several girls as men! !

Yiyi looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little nervous. "Mom, I won't be discovered, right? Or should I just not go?"

In fact, Yiyi really wanted to go, but her personality was not as cheerful as Shanshan's. She was a little nervous because she was dressed like a boy.

"Oh, big sister, it's okay! Let's all go, you can't fall behind! It's not easy to come here, you must see the observatory!

In fact, I am not that interested. If there is an embroidery competition in Wangyuan Tower, I might be more willing to go, but it is rare for our family to come here, so if we go out, we have to dress neatly! Let's go, big sister!"

Before Xia Shengsheng could open his mouth, Yiyi had already been pulled out by Shanshan.

Those who laughed could only follow behind!!

While walking on the road, Xia Shengsheng kept reminding them again and again.

If Ye Chao and Er Cheng were to compete formally with others, they must stop at a certain point. If they cannot beat the opponent, they should admit defeat immediately. Even if they can beat the opponent, they should not pursue the opponent relentlessly and embarrass the opponent. After all, they are still young!

The girls were also repeatedly reminded to follow Xia Shengsheng and not to run around! !

Xia Er and Xia Qi followed Xia Shengsheng and others, and Xia San followed Ye Chao and Ercheng.

When they arrived at the observatory, they could see from afar that the whole street was brightly lit. In the middle of the street, there stood a tall building.

It has about eight or nine floors, which was considered a very high floor in ancient times.

The whole street was packed with people, and carriages couldn't get in at all. They had to park outside, and people walked in little by little.

On both sides of the street, there are vendors selling lanterns, candles, riddle guessing, and candy figures.

Everyone simply turned around and didn't stop for long, but went straight to the goal.

You need to reserve a spot in advance for the Observatory. Under normal circumstances, you may not be able to reserve a spot and get in even three days in advance.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or just luck.

When Xia San came to inquire, someone just happened to give up his position, so several people were able to enter the Wangyuan Tower today.

After entering the observatory, everyone was shocked by the scene inside.

In the lobby of the observatory, there is an extremely tall nine-story pagoda, with its spire reaching straight to the roof of the observatory.

Looking outside, there are circles of stairs connecting each floor, which surprisingly does not look messy. The whole building is brightly lit and bustling.

Dozens of waiters were so busy that they were almost exhausted.

It took half a day for someone to come and receive Xia Shengsheng and his friends?

And after we brought them to the second floor, they disappeared and could not be found anymore.

It seems that the waiter must be serving some important person and is not interested in paying attention to them.
