Eating big melon is so refreshing

In the bustling and noisy Qingshan Ancient City, there is a hidden Tianyi Pavilion Academy that looks like a fairyland. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning gently sprinkles on this ancient and mysterious land, a beautiful picture quietly unfolds.

Xiao Chunya and her group stood at the gate of Tianyi Pavilion Academy. They felt that their restless hearts had calmed down a lot. It was really wonderful.

The uncle at the gate checked the recommendation letters of several people and let them in. He said, "Today is the first day of school. Family members are allowed to accompany you. Tomorrow, except for students and servants, no one else will be allowed to enter the academy."

This time Jiang did not come along, firstly because the journey was too long and it was inconvenient for a woman to go alone. Secondly, Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu both had servants accompanying them, which made people feel more at ease.

Compared to the previous time when Lin Shaoxuan traveled alone, this time he had an extra servant, a farm boy he bought, three years older than him, dark and thin, but fortunately he had great strength.

Under the guidance of the guide, the group of people were a bit like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with both eyes too busy to take it all in. Especially Zhao Erlang and Grandpa Luo, they felt that it was a rare opportunity to enter the Tianyi Pavilion Academy and it was worth their lifetime.

Entering the gate of the academy, it is as if you have traveled through a time tunnel and entered a quiet and peaceful world. A bluestone-paved path winds and twists like a flexible ribbon, leading people to unknown beauty.

On both sides of the path, there was green grass, and crystal dewdrops sparkled on the grass leaves, like stars. The breeze blew, and the grass swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if whispering an ancient story.

Walking along the path, an antique pavilion comes into view. The eaves of the pavilion are raised high, like a bird spreading its wings to fly. The red painted pillars shine brightly under the sunlight, showing the accumulation of years and the thickness of history. The pavilion is surrounded by flowers, colorful flowers competing for beauty and emitting bursts of charming fragrance.

The pink peach blossoms are as shy as a young girl, the white pear blossoms are as pure as snow, and the yellow forsythia flowers bloom passionately and unrestrainedly. They are intertwined to form a colorful picture.

"The flowers here are so bright and beautiful, they look more delicate and expensive than those in the village." Zhao Erlang smiled foolishly, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like a country bumpkin.

Xiao Chunya stared at the flowers with wide eyes. She couldn't see where the spirit was. She pulled her father's sleeve and said, "Dad, this is actually your illusion. These flowers are not as majestic as the big morning glory in the village!"

The hazy atmosphere immediately dissipated, and many people quietly took two steps away. Is it too late to pretend not to know Xiao Chunya?

Going deeper into the academy, a clear lake appeared in front of us. The lake water was like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding green mountains and trees. The breeze blew, and the lake surface was rippling, sparkling and beautiful. In the lake, fish swam happily, sometimes jumping out of the water, sometimes diving into the water, adding infinite vitality and vigor to this quiet lake.

By the lake, weeping willows sway in the wind, their slender branches swaying gently like long green hair. Under the willows, there are several stone benches and stone tables for people to rest and enjoy the scenery.

"This place is great, look how fat those fish are! Grilled fish is delicious." Xiao Chunya ruined the mood as soon as she opened her mouth. Even Fatty Luo next to her didn't dare to say that the grilled fish was delicious. Didn't they see the senior brothers not far away glaring at them?

Fat sister’s IQ is low today, Xiao Qiulin took out an apple and stuffed it into Fat sister’s mouth, saying, “If you have something to eat, just eat it quietly!”

The architecture of the academy is unique. The simple pavilions are scattered among the green trees, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent. The doors and windows are carved with exquisite patterns, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, and historical allusions. Every detail shows the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen. The pavilions are connected by corridors, which are winding and tortuous. Walking on the corridors, holding the railings, feeling the gentle breeze, and admiring the beautiful scenery around, people are intoxicated and reluctant to leave.

In a corner of the academy, there is a small and exquisite garden. In the garden, the rockery is rugged and has various shapes. Some look like fierce lions, some look like gentle sheep, and some look like eagles spreading their wings and soaring. They are lifelike and amazing. Under the rockery, a clear spring is flowing, and the sound of water is crisp and pleasant, like a beautiful piece of music. In the garden, there is also a small stone bridge across the clear spring. The bridge body is carved with exquisite patterns, which looks particularly delicate.

Young Master Mingyue came towards them holding Gungun. He had arrived two days earlier. Others could only bring a servant, but due to his special status he could bring two guards. What made people drop their jaws was that he could also bring the panda into the academy.

"Don't bother Uncle Yong. I'll take them to go through the formalities." Young Master Mingyue bowed slightly to the middle-aged man who was giving him the pass. The middle-aged man returned the greeting and turned to leave. There was a hint of mockery on his tense face. The little girl was really fierce. It was worth it that he had defeated several brothers to get this chance to lead the way!

Master Mingyue went straight to the point. "There will be a mock provincial examination in three days. The top 10 will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. The 11th to 20th will be exempt from tuition. The 30th to 60th will be exempt from half of the tuition. After the 60th, the tuition will be paid for tuition."

Xiao Chunya's face turned pale. "Locked in a cell for nine days and six nights?"

"The time is compressed to three days, and you don't need to stay in the dormitory overnight." Master Mingyue said, "It's just a mock exam, it doesn't need to be so strict."

"As long as I'm not locked up in the cell and as long as I can eat, I'll stay with you to the end." Xiao Chunya's complexion looked much better, and then she started to complain about the change of chef on the last day of the college entrance examination, which caused her to not eat well and become in a bad mood. After the exam, she slept for a whole day and night.

The corner of Master Mingyue's mouth twitched slightly. There was no way the chef in the Imperial Examination Hall had been changed. The delicious meals those two days were cooked by Eunuch Feng himself. It was only on the third day that a real chef cooked. Even a dog wouldn't want to eat it!

"Let's go to the dormitory first. There are three people in one dormitory here, which is similar to the dormitory in Qinghe County. You can just live in one room."

Master Mingyue said, "There are already two students in Sister Chun'er's dormitory. One is the granddaughter of the headmaster, Liu Ruyin, and the other is the niece of the wife of the prefect, Qin Ruoxi. If you get along well, chat more. If not, just go your separate ways."

Xiao Chunya was a little confused, she blinked and said, "They are also scholars?"

"No, they haven't practiced ancient martial arts, and their strength is too weak to qualify for the county school." Master Mingyue's voice was a little sarcastic, "They came here through the back door to gild themselves and catch the golden turtle."

Xiao Chunya dragged out a long "Oh~!"

Several of my companions who were traveling with me broke out in cold sweat. There was no need to be so blunt. The girl also had to save her face.
