Nightfall

The next morning, I woke up from the inn. The two masters and servants finished their grooming and were ready to dress up. Because I have to go to various ministries to go through the formalities and get the admission certificate for the college entrance examination, I want to take care of myself. Ning Que was sitting in front of the window, facing the early morning light, holding a scroll as if looking at it, and squinted to enjoy Sang Sang combing his hair behind him, but he didn't expect a burst of pain in his hair. He turned his head, helpless Looking at the little girl said: "Is it so difficult to comb my hair?"

"Otherwise, Master, please try it yourself. In Weicheng in the past years, you would just wrap up a bun at will, but you have to learn those scholars today. I haven't learned it." Sang Sang shook his hand with his comb behind him. Said angrily.

"Look at your attitude, you also know to call me Young Master!" Ning Que said annoyed: "Who is the young master and the girl, saying you two, actually asked me to comb myself! You have to understand, young master I will immediately If you want to enter the academy, it will be a serious scholar. You wo n’t just go to school. You will have to do that every day! "

Since looking at the picture in the rain on Suzaku Street yesterday, the emotions of the master and servant have been in trouble, but they simply cannot understand the feelings at that time, nor can they be sure whether the feelings at that time were true, plus some very Vague reasons, so I have not communicated on this matter.

Ning Que looked at Sang Sang's darker face than before, and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you to Chen Kum Kee after I've done the business."

Hearing this sentence, Sang Sang raised a small face and smiled, turned around and took a knife from the package and handed it over. Ning Que took the knife and walked into the small courtyard at the back of the inn, and began to practice the knife with the morning light. His movements looked precise and powerful, but the messy and fluffy hair also flickered with the movements, and it looked ridiculous.

The Datang Empire is the center of the whole world, Chang’an City is the place of worship of all nations, and the Academy is in a sense the center of the Empire of Tang Dynasty, the place of worship and worship of all the people, and sometimes even surpasses The influence of the royal family.

Since I knew the place of the academy when I was a child, Ning Que lacked the brain washed by vulgar conspiracy theories. I have never wondered why the Datang Empire, or the royal family, would allow this kind of place to exist. There is only one sun, so how can an empire have two voices?

Whether he can understand in the years to come, at least this whole day's experience finally made him feel the lofty status of the academy in the Datang Empire, and also realized the court's respect and even awe for the academy. Just a simple certificate of admission to the college entrance examination, actually requires three of the six stamps to confirm, and only officials above Langzhong are qualified to carry out this work.

The Ministry of Military Affairs and Libei, Ning Que saw more senior officials with more than five ranks on this day than he had seen in the previous sixteen years. If it was not that his military status had not been converted into a civil status, he would even need to go to the government office to run one. Trip, although the spring day is warm and pleasant, but after such a setback in the North City of Chang'an, he was so tired that he was sweating so much that he couldn't help thinking secretly, even if the court is going to send troops to the Southern Jin Dynasty, I'm afraid it won't need such trouble. Right?

What kind of stratum is there in the Imperial Ministry? Ning Que is just a border town soldier with no background. He thought he would encounter countless contempt and cold treatment. He did not expect that those officials saw his name, although there was no special He said that he did not do any troubles that General Ma Shixiang had warned, and gently waved him away.

Ning Que thought carefully to know that it should be someone from the Princess House who greeted him. The princess returned from the prairie, and was assassinated on the way. After returning to Chang'an, it must be a hundred officials, a feast in the palace, and a secret investigation. She still remembers his affairs. If you change it to someone else, you will be grateful. But he wouldn't think that way, because it was a good thing he had said to the Highnessman earlier, although it was said by the fire, His Royal Highness was not very much like a Highness.

After the last chapter was finished in the courtesy department, the sun in the sky had already begun to fall. Fortunately, the bureaucracy of the Datang Empire was not too bureaucratic, and the efficiency was quite high. The bureau responsible for issuing the admission credentials for the college entrance examination was not far from the courtesy department. Time was still open, and three or two young men who had just obtained their vouchers were talking quietly.

"It's not a problem to stay in an inn for a long time, and I can't get close to my classmates."

"It is good to move to the college in advance, maybe I can still know some brothers and sisters."

"The academy is not cheap to live in, it is more expensive than the single yard of the best Yuelai Inn in Chang'an City. Speaking of it, it was better at the time of the Emperor Taizu. At that time, the academy was free of board and lodging."

"As for saving these small amounts of money, it is good for me to be able to go to the college one day in advance. I am more familiar with the environment, and the chance of passing the admission test is also greater. I heard that the military department has gone crazy this time. Prospective candidates ... "

Ning Que was about to go inside, and suddenly stopped, looking at the young scholar with a hand salute, and asked, "This Xiongtai, did you just mean ... now the academy does not include board and lodging?"

The three people looked at Ning Que like an idiot. Maybe they wanted to say that they didn't even know this. What did you do in the college?

Ning Que's favorite thing to do is to laugh at others in front of Sang Sang Xing, who is an idiot. At this time, someone is face-to-face and you are an idiot.

When he came out again, the young scholars at the gate had long disappeared. UU reading www.uukanshu.com would otherwise make a mockery of seeing the boy's pale face.

Sang Sang had been waiting outside the door. She held a **** umbrella to prevent the sun from drying out, so that her face became darker. She was squinting her eyes when she was glad that this idea was good. He ran to him and asked with a trembling voice: "What's wrong? The college doesn't allow students to bring a maid? Have you told the adults inside that I can help the college as long as I have a place to live."

"It's not this problem." Ning Que's lips were a little dry, and she looked at her with a dumb voice. "I just asked clearly. It turns out that the academy didn't include board and lodging at all, which means that if I pass the exam, every month Thirty-two silvers are required. "

"Thirty-two?" Sang Sang subconsciously raised the volume and shouted: "What else do you read!"

When she said this, she knew it did n’t make any sense. She frowned frowningly and looked at Ning Que, saying, "Master, we have saved seventy-six, two, three, three and four cents of silver all these years. I spent it, plus the money to sell the carriage, the general ’s support, and the final gambling debts. The total sum was less than two hundred and two silvers. This went to Chang’an for another two days and I ate five meals. ... "

Ning Que stopped the little maid ’s frivolous thoughts, and said anxiously: "It will be held one month after the admission test. It seems that we will stay in the inn for one month. You have to include this expense."

Sangsang, if she can see her face at this time, she would like to feel a little more happy, because the little black face that is slightly upturned has become white because of shock and anxiety.
