The next morning, when Yun Jing saw Li Qiu again, the master had already put on a set of exquisitely crafted blue and white robes, his hair was meticulously combed and fixed with hostas, and he was wearing cloth boots with thousand-layer soles.
This image is completely different from the appearance of the old farmer in the countryside yesterday.
He was carrying a small box in each hand. One of them, Yun Jing, had seen it before. When he came here on the first day, Li Qiu said that it contained books and academic materials that Yun Jing would use in the future.
In safekeeping.
Li Qiu handed the box to Yun Jing and said: "Jing'er, in addition to things besides studying, there is also a set of clothes. You go and change into them. That is a uniform style that every student in the school must wear."
"Okay Master", Yun Jing nodded, took the box and went back to the house to change clothes.
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the school actually had "school uniforms", and he had to wear "school uniforms" when he first entered school.
Is the school doing this to distinguish students from ordinary people, or is quality education already starting from here? As for school uniforms, everyone wears the same. In a sense, it can reduce a lot of comparisons.
After returning to the house, Yunjing opened the box. The first thing he smelled was a slightly pungent smell, but it was a bit fragrant. The source of the smell came from a palm-sized cloth bag.
Yunjing picked up the clues, which were light and fluffy. It should contain some kind of plant.
"It is probably used to repel insects. Books are valuable items. For poor families like Xiaoxi Village, even if they are illiterate, a book can be regarded as a family heirloom, so they must be kept well."
Thinking to himself, Yunjing put down the cloth bag and looked at other things.
A set of clothes, two books, and a brochure.
The clothes are light blue, I think they are school uniforms, they come in one set, including clothes, pants and shoes.
Yun Jing flipped through the two books. One was full of words, and he didn't recognize any of them. The other was filled with illustrations, all of which were character illustrations. There were more or less words on the side of each picture.
At first, Yunjing thought the text was some kind of martial arts secret book, but after looking at it for a while, he thought it didn't look like it, because the illustrations all depicted the facial expressions and movements of the characters. He guessed that the illustrations in this book were descriptions of etiquette.
Finally, there was the booklet, which was very long when unfolded. On the cover were written two characters that Yunjing did not recognize. Then, the content inside was blank except for the first page, which contained a hundred characters and a red seal. He probably
Understand, this is your student status.
The workmanship of the school book is extremely exquisite, with copper edges all around. Both the outer packaging and the paper inside are covered with faint moiré patterns. Especially the paper inside, it is much better than the two books at first glance.
The snow is white and tough, and I don't know if it is waterproof or fireproof. This thing is extremely important, and Yunjing doesn't want to try it even if he wants to die.
After reading everything in the box, Yunjing couldn't help scratching his head. Where are the pens, inks, paper and inkstones?
Absolutely nothing!
The master should not forget why he didn't, and Yunjing didn't want to worry about it.
He quickly put on his clothes, which fit him perfectly. He thought the master had specially prepared them for him. Then he closed the suitcase, carried it and walked out.
It is worth mentioning that the inside of the box is also very clever, and books and academic books can be fixed so that they will not shake around inside as you move around.
Seeing Yun Jing come out, Li Qiu looked at it and smiled and said, "Not bad." Then he took two steps forward and came to Yun Jing's side and said, "You are not yet old enough to enter school, so your hairstyle needs to be changed.
Now, we can’t be as casual as usual.”
With that said, he personally did Yunjing's hair.
In the past, Yunjing's hair was simply tied into a ponytail. After some fiddling with Li Qiu, two "small knots" were tied on his head. In a literary sense, they were called Zongjiao. In short, he looked like a little Nezha.
have to.
This made Yunjing a little uncomfortable, but since everyone else in the school had the same hairstyle, he didn't worry about it.
After tidying up Yunjing, Li Qiu took a step back to take a look, nodded and said: "Let's go to the school with my teacher. We can still catch up on breakfast. From now on, we will eat at the school in school. There are three meals a day."
With that said, Li Qiu took the lead to go out without locking the door, just keeping it ajar, and then the master and the apprentice went to the school.
Yunjing guessed that whether it was school uniforms, books, or even meals in the school, it would definitely cost money, but the master took care of it all for himself.
He couldn't help feeling a little emotional. If he couldn't become an apprentice, his family would not be able to support him even if he could go to school. Studying was really not something that poor people were qualified to participate in.
On the way, Li Qiu briefly told Yunjing about the situation in the school.
If you go to school, you can have one day off every six days, and you can have another three days off at the end of the month. The specific school time is about ten o'clock every morning, four classes a day, two in the morning, a break at noon, and two in the afternoon.
, each class lasts about an hour, and school ends at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The time unit used by Li Qiu is hour, but it is not the ancient distinction like Zi Chou Yin Mao in Yun Jing's memory of his 'hometown', but a very straightforward division from one to twelve, twelve hours a day,
About two hours each hour.
Yunjing had never paid any attention to these in the past. Besides, in the countryside, we used to get up at dawn and go to bed at dusk. Who had the time to study this?
Then he also told Yun Jing that it was his first time to go to school today. He had to give his teacher some things to fill in for his student registration. He didn’t need to bring it with him if it was not necessary in the future...
The school is not around where they live, but on the other side of Niujiao Town. They have to go around or through the entire Niujiao Town to reach it.
I don’t know if Li Qiu disliked the messy environment in the town, so he took Yunjing on a route that bypassed the town.
After crossing the path from their house to the main road, there was already an ox cart waiting there.
The driver was an old man whom Yun Jing didn't know, and there were actually two guards beside him. Although there were no maids or bookboys, the scene was decent enough.
"Master, Master Yun"
After seeing Yunjing and the others, the old man driving the bus and the two guards quickly said hello and put a stool on the ground to make it easier for them to get on the bus.
"Jing'er, let's get in the car. It's still a long way to the school." Li Qiu looked at Yun Jing who was a little dazed and said with a smile.
After getting on the cart, the ox cart walked slowly. Yunjing still couldn't react. This kind of treatment was too different from the experience of the previous few days.
At this time, Li Qiu, who was sitting on a soft cushion with a big umbrella for shade, said with a smile: "Jing'er doesn't have to wonder, teaching and life should be separated. You just need to get used to it in the future." After saying this, he paused and said
"You are still young now. When you grow up and your studies become more arduous, I will give you a book boy as your teacher."
Ah this...
How had Yunjing ever enjoyed such treatment? When he thought that it might be standard for a scholar to have a scholar, he could only say: "Disciple, I understand. Thank you Master."
"Yeah." Li Qiu nodded and said nothing, closing his eyes slightly to rest.
Seeing this, Yun Jing secretly thought to himself, is Master practicing? But it doesn't look like it, after all, there is nothing special at all...
The oxcart moved slowly, but when the road ended, about half an hour later, they arrived at the school.
The school is located on a quiet hill outside the town. It is surrounded by a wall. It looks quite large. The hills around the wall are covered with pines, cypresses and bamboos. There is a stone path from the bottom of the mountain leading directly to the school.
Looking at the place where he wanted to study in the future, the first thing Yunjing saw was a scene of 'life and death'.
Many people arrived one after another at the foot of the mountain. Some of them looked like they were children who went to school at the same time as Yunjing. They were crying so hard that they felt like they had been abandoned by their families.
Yunjing felt a little bit amused. It seemed that no matter which world, the reactions of children when they first entered school were similar...
