It was still dark, and the streets were hazy with fog.
Xue Junyou got up early, and after having breakfast at the Princess Mansion, he and Yun Ni sat in the carriage and drove on the way to Junde College.
To be honest, although I hated school the most in my last life, Xue Junyou is quite curious in this life. After all, not everyone is qualified to enter the schools in this era.
What's more, it's exclusive to the Prince Consort, so the learning environment must be of royal standard.
Junde Academy is located in the south of the imperial capital city and has a history of 237 years in the Entropy Kingdom. It was recommended by the former Taifu and ordered by Emperor Huiwen to establish it. Its main purpose is to improve the moral standards of various princes-in-law or son-in-laws of dignitaries in various houses.
.
However, it is said to teach virtue, but in fact it is just a place for tutoring. After all, the son-in-law of the Entropy Kingdom will not be able to serve as an official in the court for the rest of his life, but he cannot let it go all day long and disgrace the family tradition. There is no other way, so he can only
Find some value for them.
Xue Junyou's carriage stopped in front of the gate of Junde College. He jumped off the carriage and saw the so-called Junde College for the first time. The appearance was somewhat impressive, but compared to Princess Anyang's Mansion, it was slightly inferior.
Billion points.
"Prince-in-law, there are regulations here. You are not allowed to bring servants with you. You can only enroll in school alone." Yun Ni got out of the car and handed over the heavy book box in his hand.
Xue Junyou nodded, took it over and said with a smile: "It's quite a mass line here. It's nice and comfortable to be alone."
"Then I will pick you up in nine days." Yun Ni responded.
Xue Junyou smiled and waved to her, turned around and strode into the academy gate. Because there had been an order from the princess's residence, Xue Junyou was led in as soon as he entered the academy.
After bypassing a flower corridor, the first thing you enter is a circular arrangement of schools. There are more than a dozen schools in total. Although you can see men in uniforms entering in groups in twos and threes, it is extremely quiet.
The second entrance is to two small halls. The man who led Xue Junyou in said that this is where he goes to learn etiquette. Xue Junyou asked him what etiquette he learned, and the man said: good luck, bad luck, guest, military,
Chia.
The third entrance is the music studio. Xue Junyou can guess a thing or two by looking at it. It is probably similar to a music classroom, with many musical instruments placed in it.
After passing through three courtyards in a row, the fourth entrance made Xue Jun feel worried and happy. There was no room in this entrance, and the area was even larger than the previous three entrances combined.
Although there is frost here, you can vaguely see paved grass and lush trees, and you can also see stables and some targets for archery in the distance. It must be a training ground for archery.
After passing through a unique venue that looked like a miniature prairie, Xue Junyou finally arrived at the place where he lived. It was an exquisite courtyard with pavilions, pavilions, and sparkling pools of water. It was really no worse than the place where he lived at the Princess Mansion.
Xue Junyou couldn't help but stand by the sparkling pool and took a breath of fresh air, and then sighed: "It's the Prince Consort Academy. The scenery here is really good. I can definitely have a good sleep every day."
The man who brought Xue Junyou into the academy was stunned. He felt that the people in Princess Anyang's Mansion did not seem to explain clearly to the Ninth Prince Consort, so he raised his finger and said: "This Prince Consort admitted his mistake. This is Mr. Xi.
The place where you live, the prince-in-law, still needs to go that way."
Xue Junyou looked curiously in the direction of his finger. It was a path that was deeply wrapped in a garden landscape. Only two people could pass side by side.
He followed the man through the path, and when he saw a leaky and dilapidated courtyard in front of him, he was startled, and the book box in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
After a long while, he still couldn't accept it, and then turned to look at the man and said, "Did you take me to the wrong place? This small courtyard... The roof is leaky. If I want to live alone,
Don’t we still need to repair the roof?”
The man immediately responded: "That's right, and it's not just the Nine Princes-in-law who live here, all the Princes-in-law live here."
"It's all... ...!" Before Xue Junyou could say anything, he raised his head and looked at the small courtyard carefully. It's true! Although there are only three houses in total, each one has six bays, and it really looks like an ancient dormitory.
"Forget it, I don't mind sleeping in such a small place anyway, please lead the way." Xue Junyou casually bowed his hand, and the joy on his face disappeared.
Following the man, he pushed the door open and entered the house. Except for two missing tiles on the roof, it was quite clean. It was a two-person room with not much space.
Much better than expected.
After the man left, Xue Junyou came in carrying a book box.
He first looked around the room casually, then threw down the book box and fell down on an empty bed covered with straw mats. But suddenly he remembered that Yun Ni had helped buy two beddings, so he forced himself to get up early.
Feeling sleepy, I spread a thick goose down quilt on my bed before falling back on the couch and sleeping soundly.
... ... ...
In fact, it was just the beginning of class at this moment, and all the schools in the courtyard were already full, but there were only a handful of schools dedicated to the emperor's consort.
There was no way around it. His Majesty the Emperor did not have many heirs at that time, and there were only nine princesses. Moreover, the prince-in-law of the second princess of Lingyang was suffering from an incurable disease.
In this way, only the current eight people are left.
No... ...there are only six people seated.
Mr. Bao Jie, who was sitting firmly in the hall, looked puzzled. He lowered his head and looked at the list that the tutor had given him again.
The eldest son-in-law Li An, the third son-in-law Zhang Yue, the fourth son-in-law Lu Qiming, the fifth son-in-law Dong Jiusi, the sixth son-in-law Ju Song, the seventh son-in-law Cao Hu, the eighth son-in-law Yin Shuo of Nangong, and the ninth son-in-law Xue Junyou of Anyang.
After checking again several times, Bao Ji finally found the two people on the mission, so he asked: "Do you know why the fifth and ninth princes have not arrived?"
The remaining six princes-in-law looked at each other and thought to themselves that these two people were really brave. If the princess hadn't asked for leave, they would have been beaten again.
In this hell on earth, each of these gentlemen looks sanctimonious, but in fact they are all veritable devils. In addition, they are not highly regarded by their own families, and it is normal for them to be treated inhumanely.
"Humph!" Seeing that none of the consorts responded, Bao Ji snorted, picked up the scroll in front of him, and said: "Today is a husband's school day. Let's talk about how a man who is willing to be humble and humble should learn how to learn.
Adapt and accept who you are.”
Bao Jie was like a teacher in an ordinary private school, facing the six princes-in-law in the hall, shaking his head and instilling in them the knowledge that only sons-in-law who were not qualified to become officials were worthy of studying.
Of course, a dignified prince-in-law would not be a lowly son-in-law, but apart from having a high status and being able to control the surnames of his children, he was actually similar to a son-in-law, or even worse, because the princess was not as constrained as ordinary women.
In the history of the Great Entropy for thousands of years, it is not uncommon for the Princess of the Great Entropy to keep a handsome male favorite.
... ... ...
The sun is shining brightly.
Xue Junyou didn't know how long he had slept. He was woken up by the rustling of the door opening and soft humming.
He looked up and saw a tall and thin figure wearing brocade coming in from outside.
This figure looked a little older than him, and he was quite handsome, but his complexion was too bad, and was bruised and bruised. It seemed that something had happened to him.
Although Xue Junyou would usually turn a blind eye when encountering this kind of thing, it seems that the other party lives here, that is, as a roommate, and does not keep in touch with each other. The days to come are indeed deserted.
Thinking like this, Xue Junyou sat up, looked at him and asked: "Are you... Xue Junyou sat up, looked at him and asked: "Are you... okay?"
Hearing Xue Junyou's voice, the man seemed to realize that there was someone else in the room, so he tremblingly raised his hand towards him and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I went to the wrong house."
"No, no, no." Xue Junyou straightened up quickly, stopped the man and said, "You may not have gone wrong. I am new here today."
The man was stunned for a moment, seemed to have remembered something, and quickly asked: "Are you the Ninth Prince Consort?"
"Yes, yes!" Xue Junyou nodded immediately and greeted him with a smile: "Please give me more advice in the future."
The man smiled bitterly: "It's not about giving advice, it can only be about sharing the suffering."
Xue Junyou was puzzled, but he helped the man sit down on the bed first. He took a stool, looked up and down at the injuries on his face, and asked in confusion: "Did you get this injury from someone?"
Did you hit him?"
The man took a breath, obviously not wanting to answer, so he introduced himself: "The feat of the nine princes-in-law beating the bullies in the street has been spread throughout the imperial capital for several days. I admire them. I am Dong Jiusi... the fifth prince-in-law in the dynasty.
.”
"Oh! That's a real relative." Xue Junyou immediately shook Dong Jiusi's hand and said, "My name is Xue Junyou, Jiuhuangma."
"I know, I know." Dong Jiusi responded with a wry smile. When he saw the real Jiuhuangma, he was not nine feet tall and powerful like the rumors. Instead, he looked kind-faced and had the demeanor of a gentle Confucian general.
After a cursory look, Dong Jiusi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly: "By the way, why didn't the Ninth Prince Consort go to school?"
Xue Junyou frowned: "I just came here today, shouldn't I get familiar with the environment on the first day?"
"Oh! It's the first day to go to class on time! Otherwise, you will have a hard time later." Dong Jiusi patted his thigh, but he gritted his teeth in pain. Apparently, he also had injuries on his legs.
But he seemed to have something more important than his injury. He endured the pain and took out a simple uniform from the bookcase beside the bed and put it on.
While changing, he said: "I hope Mr. Bao is in a good mood today. If you wait an hour or two later, maybe I can beat you and me less."
Xue Junyou was confused when he heard this. He was about to ask, but he heard a shout outside the door.
After a while, the two wooden doors of the house were kicked open, revealing two middle-aged men wearing the uniforms of college teachers.
The two men had stern faces, beards, and taller and stronger bodies. They didn't look like scholars.
"The two of us are Mr. Supervisor. I heard that a new person has arrived today, so I came here to check whether I have anything that violates the rules of the college with me!"
Seeing the two men stepping in, Dong Jiusi instinctively shrank behind Xue Junyou, and reminded him in a low voice: "Nine princes, be careful, these two people are named Lei He and Lei Lian. They are brothers who specialize in supervising us and others."
In daily private life, we are very strict, so don't offend them."
Xue Junyou frowned a few times and did not respond. Because the prerequisite for him not to offend others is that others will not offend him.
