The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

Zhang Hao immediately fawned over her, "Junior Sister Yun Shu, you're quite strong!" Then, with a flattering look, he asked, "Who is your master? Could you please introduce me? I will be very grateful."

You should know that he had a dream of becoming a chivalrous hero since he was a child, leaping across rooftops and robbing the rich to help the poor.

However, when he excitedly ran to tell his father, his father slapped him on the head. Not satisfied with that, his father then pointed at him and cursed him for a long time.

The words that stuck with him most were, "You brat, robbing the rich to help the poor? Look at you, thinking you can steal all my family's wealth and give it away!"

After hearing his father's words, he retorted directly, "Dad, read more of the books in the study when you have free time. It doesn't matter if you're not educated; it's never too late for us to work hard now."

It's fine if he just talks nonsense for a moment, but it's a pity that all his martial arts novels were given away by his father.

Even now, they still conduct surprise inspections from time to time.

"I was born with superhuman strength, and no one taught me. My parents said that I was stronger than my older cousins ​​when I was a child." Zhuge Yunshu lied without batting an eye.

"So there really is such a thing as innate superhuman strength. I thought you met a hermit and were given a divine medicine, which is why you became so strong." Zhang Hao looked disappointed.

A reclusive master is equivalent to a system, and a miraculous medicine is equivalent to a superpower card. It has to be said, her senior brother Zhang is right.

"Senior brother, read more books and less of those fictional stories; they're all lies," Zhuge Yunshu earnestly advised.

"I know, it was only because I saw your superhuman strength that I had a glimmer of hope for these stories." Zhang Hao's hopes were dashed, and he looked dejected.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the dormitory area.

"The town's school dormitories are divided into two areas. The boys live in the East area, which is called Duxueyuan, and the girls live in the West area, which is called Shensiyuan. The teachers and their families live in the South area, which is called Mingbianyuan."

Wang Yi led Zhang Hao to the entrance of Duxue Academy and handed him over to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old senior student.

"This is the dormitory head of Duxueyuan. You can call him Senior Brother Qin. Go in with him to put your luggage away. We'll meet here again later," Wang Yi instructed.

After saying that, he led Zhuge Yunshu towards the western district.

The West District, also known as Shensi Garden, looks much smaller than the East District's Duxue Garden.

It is divided into four courtyards: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Wang Yi led Zhuge Yunshu to the Heaven courtyard, which has six rooms.

“The town school has four classes, named after heaven, earth, black, and yellow, so the dormitories are assigned according to these numbers,” Wang Yi explained.

Zhuge Yunshu looked at the names written on the six rooms: Da Tian No. 1, Da Tian No. 2, Zhong Tian No. 1, Zhong Tian No. 2, Xiao Tian No. 1, and Xiao Tian No. 2, and his face was full of black lines.

This person is incredibly lazy when it comes to naming things.

Wang Yi led her to the innermost room, which was Xiaotian No. 2.

To Zhuge Yunshu's surprise, when he pushed open the door, it was a two-person bedroom.

The interior is divided by partitions, with a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and a storage cabinet on each side.

Zhuge Yunshu looked at Wang Yi with a look of surprise and delight, "Senior Sister, the accommodations at the town's academy are amazing!"

"Only the girls' dormitory has such treatment. There are already fewer girls than boys in the town's school, not to mention that the top three students in the clan school's literary society are all from the top three, so there are even fewer girls. Our class has the most girls of any class in the past!"

"In Yunshui Town, there are still too few women who are educated," Zhuge Yunshu sighed helplessly.

Looking at Junior Sister Yun Shu, who was short in stature but had the demeanor of a little adult, Wang Yi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, laughing as she said, "Alright, these things are not for a little person like you to worry about."

Zhuge Yunshu was stunned by this action and stood there dumbfounded.

This was the first time, apart from her elders, that someone her age had dared to pinch her cheek.

You should know that during those carefree years of her playing, she was the big sister of the village, and she was usually the one pinching other people's faces.

Especially her two henchmen, number one and number two, who are fair-skinned and cute, have been fondled by her quite a bit.

Zhuge Yunshu glanced at the aloof young lady in front of him and smiled, a rare occurrence. Oh well, as long as she's happy.

She is always much more generous to good-looking people.

Just like her two former lackeys, they were often favored by her.

After putting down her luggage, Zhuge Yunshu followed Senior Sister Wang Yi out of the room and into the Tianzi Courtyard.

"See those small houses over there? That's where you wash up and get hot water. They open at dawn and close at dusk every day."

"Also, our West District, which is Mingbian Garden, opens at 5:00 AM and closes at 7:00 PM every day, so you must be back in your dormitory by that time," Wang Yi patiently explained.

"Senior sister, we enrolled on the same day, how do you know so much?" Zhuge Yunshu asked curiously.

They were admitted to the town school in the same batch, but listening to the senior's introduction, the town school felt as familiar as her home.

“Master Wang is my fourth uncle in the clan. I often came to play with him when I was a child, so I am quite familiar with the town school,” Wang Yi explained.

Zhuge Yunshu suddenly realized why she thought the two looked alike, and why Master Wang even called her senior sister Yi-jie.

The two of them left Shensi Garden and went to the place they had arranged to meet with Senior Brother Zhang Hao.

I happened to see him talking with several older senior students.

Upon seeing them, he immediately bid farewell to those people and ran towards them.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Zhuge Yunshu and Wang Yi acted as if they hadn't heard Zhang Hao's words and continued walking forward on their own.

"If you keep walking along this road south of the dormitory, you'll reach the town's school cafeteria. The food on the first floor is free, and it's mostly bland and unappetizing. The food on the second floor is charged, and it's similar to a restaurant in town, with à la carte options. The food is pretty good, but it's also quite expensive."

"Then Senior Brother Zhang will have to go every day," Zhuge Yunshu joked.

“If you can’t get a seat, you can only eat on the first floor. Most students in the town school come from well-off families, so the second floor gets very crowded during mealtimes,” Wang Yi explained.

Zhang Hao, the person involved, felt quite uncomfortable listening to the two people talking.

For no other reason than that his heartless father, in order to create an atmosphere conducive to his diligent study, reduced his allowance to only one or two taels of silver per month.

So he could only occasionally go to the second floor of the cafeteria to satisfy his cravings.

"After passing the canteen is the town's library, which has three floors. We new students can only read books on the first floor."

"..."

"This is the town's bulletin board, where important notices are posted, such as holiday notices, activity notices, exam rankings, and analyses of good articles. Opposite it is the knowledge board, which is mainly used for discussing articles, asking questions, and challenging other students."

Zhuge Yunshu walked over and saw that the knowledge section was full of questions, some of which already had replies, and others were asking others to revise articles and comment on ancient poems. In short, it was very interesting.
