Chapter 17 The New Residence

The Hu Ben Army of the State of Protecting the Country, the First Army of the Song State, is specializing in guarding the royal relatives, princes and nobles. He came to Chang Shang City to protect King An to investigate frequent incidents of monsters near Chang Shang City. As their identities, they were guarding the Bieyun Temple before, and they were also aiding in investigating the affairs of monsters. How come they are patrolling the streets now? Could it be that King An is nearby?

Although he was puzzled, Wu Mian did not look at the Hu Ben Army of the Protecting Country.

The Hu Ben Army of the National Guard suddenly patrolled the streets. Even if it was not a big man like King An, there was something important.

If he looked at it casually and was thought to have no intention and deducted it, it would be a disaster. Even if he explained it clearly later, it would inevitably delay the start of school.

Zhao Xiangzhong told him not to protect the country's Hu Ben Army, because of this.

The Hu Ben Army of the Protector of the Country is to be thwarted, but there is no need for extra reasons. Just a doubt is enough.

After understanding Zhao Xiangzhong's intention, Wu Mian no longer looked around, put down the curtain of the car, sat peacefully in the car and sent Zhao Xiangzhong to the North Courtyard.

When I arrived at the North College, I reported my name at the reception desk and took out the certificates I had for the admission to school to let the teacher of the North College confirm his identity. A senior from the Yongjia School stood up and said with a smile.

"Hello, junior brother, my name is Qiu Mingzhi. Mingzhi, who knows his heart and knows his ambitions, and he entered the school the year before yesterday."

"Hello, senior brother, my name is Wu Mian. I am so arrogant and self-enhancing."

"See that my junior brother chose a room where he lives alone. I wonder if he knows how to get there? If he doesn't know, I'll take you there."

"I don't know the specific location yet. I'm thankful for my senior brother!"

"There are all from the same school, so we must take care of each other."

After making some politeness, Qiu Mingzhi glanced at Zhao Xiangzhong and smiled and said, "Junior brother, let your family move all your things over, but they can't enter the academy, you have to move them over by yourself."

"Is this not possible?" Wu Mian was stunned for a moment.

He brought a lot of things, including clothes, bedding, study and calligraphy, and a lot of books. Those books include the miscellaneous books he brought and the textbooks of Changshang Academy. There are almost a hundred books together!

Qiu Mingzhi shook his head: "No! You must move over by yourself. Once you enter the academy, whether it is a prince or aristocrat or a commoner, you must do everything yourself. This is the way to cultivate yourself and you will not be slackened."

Qiu Mingzhi said this, but Wu Mian could only complain about Changshang Academy's rigidity while saying helplessly: "I understand."

Qiu Mingzhi smiled and patted Wu Mian on the shoulder: "Don't be so depressed. You came to the academy to study, not to enjoy it. When the young master of the Zhou Zhizhou family came, he brought more things than you. Don't you have to move in by yourself? Don't worry, Dongyuan is not far from here, and it doesn't take much time for you to help you. Besides, the senior brother will also help you get some."

Changshang belongs to Shangzhou, and Shangzhou is a Zhili Prefecture. Compared with the prefect, Shangzhou Prefecture is a fifth-rank official. If it were modern, he would be considered a mayor. His son also had to move things by himself. After hearing Qiu Mingzhi's words, Wu Mian's heart finally balanced.

"Then I would like to thank my senior brother."

Zhao Xiangzhong, who was standing beside him, listened to the conversation between the two, and did not need Wu Mian's instructions to remove the things from the carriage.

In fact, there are not many things in a carriage, but Wu Mian didn't expect that Zhao Xiangzhong could not enter the academy, so many things were not packaged, which would appear to be a different problem when transporting them.

However, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are interested.

Zhao Xiangzhong directly disassembled the bundled bedding, stuffed some scattered things in, and packed them neatly into large packages. In addition to being more bulky and more indecent, it became much more convenient to carry them.

Carrying a quilt wrapped around, Wu Mian said embarrassedly to Qiu Mingzhi, who was carrying a quilt wrapped around, "Senior brother, please lead the way."

Qiu Mingzhi nodded, then led Wu Mian to the academy and said, "The place where our students live is located is the south of the entrance. All the students in the north courtyard live there, divided into East Garden and West Garden. East Garden is for male students, and West Garden is for female students, just one mile... By the way, what number do you live in? I saw you live in a single room, but I didn't pay attention to what number you live in."

"Eight Twenty-three East Garden."

"Yi23, there is not a few steps away from where I live. I live in Yi33, and it seems that we are quite destined to be together. By the way, did you say that the young master of the Zhou Zhizhou family is also from our North Court? He is not only from our North Court, but also from our Yongjia School. He lives in Jiuer, and is called Zhou Changsheng, the immortal immortal. It is said that because he was not in good health when he was young, he gave this name. You can say hello to him at that time. Although he is the young master, he has no habit of being a young man, and he is easy to get along with..."

When he went to the place where he lived, Qiu Mingzhi didn't listen to him for a moment. He kept talking to Wu Mian about the things in the North Court, introducing who is who in the North Court, which one is easier to get along with and which one is easy to offend.

However, because he was only one mile away, he had not had time to say much, so he had already taken Wu Mian to the East Garden where the students lived.

As soon as I entered the East Garden, there were three neat small buildings, about a hundred, and there were small yards in front of the building, with different plants planted. But because it was still early spring, I couldn’t see anything, but there were three long houses in the back.

Whether it is a small building or a long house, there is a huge sundial in each row to facilitate students to confirm their time.

According to Qiu Mingzhi, there are 99 small buildings, all of which are rich and identifiable young masters or gentlemen. For example, the magistrate Zhou Changsheng lives in the third row of the small building. The long house behind them is divided into single rooms and long rooms that live together.

Stopped in the 23rd room in the first row of the long house, Qiu Mingzhi put down his quilt and smiled and said, "Okay, it's this place. Next, you can organize the room yourself. I'll go to the front to watch. If a junior brother comes in, I can bring it here too. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time. Don't be too polite among the schools."

Wu Mian also put down the quilt and smiled and said, "I understand, thank you for your senior brother."

Qiu Mingzhi smiled and turned around and wanted to walk towards the entrance of the North Courtyard. Suddenly, a boy in a casual shirt came over.

"Changsheng? Haven't you been looking for senior brother?"

"The eldest brother has something to do, so I can only come back." After the young man in the shirt smiled and said, he looked at Wu Mian: "Is this the new junior brother?"

"Yes, his name is Wu Mian, and he is also a disciple of our Yongjia School." After Qiu Mingzhi nodded, he turned to Wu Mian and said, "He is the young master of the Zhou Zhizhou family that I talked to you, Zhou Changsheng. Come and say hello."

"The young master has met Mr. Zhou." Wu Mian bowed and greeted.

Zhou Changsheng shook his head and smiled, then bowed and replied, "Where is the magistrate in the academy? Just call me my senior brother."

After saying that, he looked at Qiu Mingzhi again and said, "I'm just idle now, I'm free and have nothing to do. Let's go and pick up the freshman with you. But I'm not allowed to talk about my identity again. In the academy, everyone is a fellow brother, don't worry about their identities outside."

His words made Wu Mian feel that he is indeed a person who is easy to get along with, and he also thinks that he is not an ordinary person.

Paying attention to identity is a consensus among people in this world, or even the consensus of all worlds. However, Zhou Changsheng was able to calmly abandon his identity. Even if he was just acting, it would make many people feel good about him.

"Don't you have to know sooner or later?" After Qiu Mingzhi finished speaking without caring at all, he saw Zhou Changsheng frowning and could only say, "Okay, okay, I understand, I won't say it's okay."

"You, everything is good, just a big mouth." After Zhou Changsheng said helplessly, he smiled apologetically at Wu Mian, and walked towards the entrance of the North Courtyard. Qiu Mingzhi hurriedly followed.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Wu Mian shrugged and took out the keys they received at the entrance and opened the door of the 123rd room.

The room is not big, about twenty square meters, with a bed and two tables, a desk, a small round table, a wardrobe and a row of bookshelfs.

As a room where students live alone, this size is almost the same, at least it is larger than the dormitory that Wu Mian remembers when he lived in Earth High School, and he lived alone.

"It's worthy of being a room worth ten taels of silver a year, which is quite cost-effective. I don't know what the small building where Zhou Changsheng lives is like. I remember it takes a hundred taels, right? This is all the tuition fees for a year. The Wu family only earns a thousand taels a year. After deducting food and drink favors, it's only about five hundred taels a year. If I dare to live in the small building, then the cheap dad will come over and kill me..."

Murmuring, Wu Mian moved the quilt into the room, then went to the entrance of the North Courtyard four times, and only then did he feel relieved after moving everything into the room.

"Fortunately, I have been young and strong in this life and have also cultivated my internal skills. If I was in my thirties in my previous life, I would have been tired after sitting and working all day long and not smoking and drinking."

After resting for a while, Wu Mian began to clean the room and then arranged the items he brought in in categories.

When he went to the entrance of the North Courtyard for the last trip, he had already asked Zhao Xiangzhong to go back, so he didn't have to go to the entrance of the North Courtyard for goodbye again.

When everything is sorted out, it is almost noon.

"I remember the gentleman said that at noon, I can go to the cafeteria to have a meal now..." Wu Mian, who walked outside the house, was about to look up at the sun to confirm the time, but suddenly noticed the sundial not far away, and smiled and said, "Good thing, I don't have to work hard to look up at the sky to confirm the time."

When he walked to the sundial, Wu Mian saw the sun shadow pointing at the moment of Si, and immediately knew that if the matter now was converted to the earth, it should be around ten o'clock in the morning.

"It's a pity that this thing is useless on cloudy, rainy days... Hiss, should I get a watch? But how should I do that thing?"

Whispering, Wu Mian, who had never seen such a huge sundial, approached and looked at it, suddenly felt the bronze mirror in his arms tremble.
