Chu You went to the inn first and asked for two upper rooms, one of which was for Yun Tingshu. Yun Tingshu declined several times before he had to reluctantly accept it.

"Should Ting Shu go back to his room to rest for a while, or should he eat something now?" Chu You asked.

Yun Tingshu said: "Let's eat something first."

The three found a place to sit down, and the things they wanted came up quickly. They were already tired after driving for such a long time, and the three of them didn't talk much.

Bai Zhi rubbed her belly and asked contentedly: "What about that inn?" They must not be allowed to do anything wrong again.

"I'll report to the officials in a while." Chu You looked at Yun Tingshu again and said, "Let's rest here for a day and leave tomorrow, how about Ting Shu?"

Yun Tingshu nodded: "Alright."

After breakfast, Chu You accompanied Bai Zhi to the room to rest, and after he fell asleep, he went to the county government office and reported to the official.

The three rested here for a day, and set off early the next morning.

Although Chu You always took Yun Tingshu's rescue of them as an excuse and covered all his expenses, Yun Tingshu still felt sorry for him. When he set off again, he took the reins of the horse from Chu You's hand and replaced Chu You Get on the wagon.

Chu You sat in the carriage with Bai Zhi in his arms, because there were other people around, so he could no longer just kiss as before.Although Bai Zhi felt a little regretful, she was very happy to look at the scenery along the way through the curtain, listen to the stories Chu You told him, and feel Chu You's beating heart.

Not much to say, after more than 20 days, the three finally arrived at Xingdao Academy.

Xingdao Academy is located in Lincheng. Unlike Anning Village, Lincheng is like spring all the year round, bustling and blooming.

Xingdao Academy is located in the southeast corner of Lincheng, with a beautiful environment, backed by Dafeng Mountain, surrounded by farmland and streams, and it takes about half an hour to walk to the nearest Zhuangzi, which feels a little isolated from the world.

When approaching Xingdao Academy, Bai Zhi found out a linen dress and changed it in the carriage.He took off the hairpin from his head and combed two small balls on his head.

Bai Zhi originally had the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, so he looked a few years younger, only thirteen or fourteen years old, but no matter how he did it, he was still so good-looking.Chu You pinched a small bun of his hair with a suppressed smile on his face: "Actually, you don't have to comb it like this."

"I think this is very good," Bai Zhi took out the bronze mirror to look at it, quite satisfied, "All the book boys in the small story books are like this."

Chu You really wanted to tell him that what was written in the small story book could not be true.But seeing his serious face, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Brother Chu, do you think I look so good-looking?" Bai Zhi put away the bronze mirror, although she looked serious on the surface, she was very nervous in her heart, for fear that Chu You would say it was not good-looking.

Chu You thought about his choice of words: "Not bad."

Bai Zhi didn't think much about it, and happily opened the curtains to look outside, but saw the four characters of Xingdao Academy already appeared in front of her.

Immediately slowed down, Yun Tingshu pulled the reins of the horse and jumped to the ground: "Lingjun, Baizhi, we are here."

Chu You got off the horse first, then took Bai Zhi's hand to help him down.

Yun Tingshu was startled when he saw Bai Zhi's attire.

"Ting Shu, what do you think of me now?"

Yun Tingshu said dully: "Not bad."

Bai Zhi was completely relieved. What Chu You said just now was good. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No matter how he dresses, Chu You will say that he looks good.It is really good to have the affirmation of another person.

It is said that he has arrived at Xingdao Academy, but in fact he has not arrived yet. He has only reached the boundary of Xingdao Academy.

You have to walk three or four miles along this forest to arrive at Xingdao Academy.

The reason for dismounting here is to walk to the academy with a humble heart.

The three of them exchanged a few words briefly, and then moved forward. Apart from the sounds of birds and insects, there were no other sounds along the way.

Xingdao Academy covers a very large area, with all kinds of pavilions, towers and pavilions, and the six arts venues are also different.Each student is dressed in a uniform and has a separate room.

Half of Xingdao Academy's expenses are provided by the imperial court, and half are funded by wealthy private businessmen. The academy also has a school field. The crops on the school field are cultivated and picked by the students, and they usually eat what is on the school field.The school field is also large, and some crops are exchanged for silver.Therefore, students are not required to pay for training like private schools. On the contrary, Xingdao Academy provides students with free accommodation and food.

This greatly facilitated a poor family like Yun Tingshu.

After finishing everything, Chu You and Yun Tingshu live next door, Bai Zhi is very happy, it is very convenient to chat with Yun Tingshu.After getting along for many days, Bai Zhi liked Yun Tingshu quite a lot, but she was too bookish.

The three walked and talked, and there were two people in front of them, who seemed to be young masters and book boys.The young master suddenly turned around, and after seeing Chu You clearly, he smiled brightly and clasped his fists: "Brother Chu, don't come here without any harm."

"It turned out to be Brother Ke." Chu You smiled and clasped his fists. He didn't expect to meet an old friend here. "I didn't expect Brother Ke to come here to study. We are really destined." Chu You introduced Yun Tingshu to After leaving Ke Shaoze, the three of them stood at the bottom of the corridor and chatted for a while.

The book boy was standing aside quietly with his burden on his back, his head bowed, Bai Zhi was full of suspicion, thinking that this person looked familiar, and always wanted to go over to have a look, but he was behind Chu You, and the space was so narrow, it would be awkward if he squeezed in. Too deliberate.

Bai Zhi looked at it for a while, then patted her thigh, wasn't that Shutong the same maid that Ke Shaoze took with him when he was in the teahouse that day!

Bai Zhi suddenly discovered such a great thing and wanted to tell Chu You immediately, but the three of them chatted endlessly, Bai Zhi's heart was itchy like a cat's claw.

The conversation finally came to an end when Ke Shaoze said, "We'll have a long time to come, we'll talk when we have time." When they reached the front of the room, Bai Zhi couldn't wait to drag Chu You into the room, and pushed him onto the bed in the inner room without any excuse.

"Why is my little Zhi'er so impatient?" Chu You teased, "But it's sunny—" He looked outside again, pretending to be embarrassed.

If it were the past, Bai Zhi would definitely be shy, but today, Chu You's words were automatically erased.

"Brother Chu, I just discovered a very remarkable thing." Bai Zhi looked at Chu You and lowered her voice and said seriously, "Have you seen Mr. Ke's book boy, don't you think he looks like a person? "

Chu You really didn't pay attention, he was only talking to Ke Shaoze just now, and the book boy was standing behind him again, how could he see what the book boy looked like from such a distance.

"I knew you didn't see it." Bai Zhi was very happy, and put on a smug look, "That book boy is the maid we saw him bring when we were in the teahouse that day."

"That maid?" Chu You raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"It's that maid, I'm sure I'm not mistaken." Bai Zhi swore.

Chu You also looked serious.

"Why do you think he's so courageous? No matter how much he likes him, he can't let a maidservant disguise himself as a man." Bai Zhi moved her head towards Chu You, "Is it because he watched too much Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, I also thought that in this academy, women would live in men's clothing for three years and no one would know about it."

"Huh?" Bai Zhi said, her eyebrows twitched here, and then she moved closer to Chu You, her voice could not be lowered, "Or is Mr. Ke also a woman?" Learning to be like Zhu Yingtai, who likes to read, she simply said A woman disguised herself as a man and mixed in.The more Bai Zhi felt that what she said made more sense, she was almost certain that this was the case!

"Young Master Ke is definitely not a woman." Chu You thought about the matter again, and carefully recalled his short relationship with Ke Shaoze, "I can guarantee that he is a real man."

Bai Zhi also closed her eyes and thought about it. Ke Shaoze is also good-looking, but he is tall, has a big frame, has a loud voice, walks, and does not behave like a woman.

Bai Zhi couldn't figure it out, lay down on the bed, spread out the word "big", looked at the ceiling: "Then Mr. Ke is too courageous."

While taking off his shoes, Chu You instructed: "Don't say this beforehand."

"Brother Chu, you said that he will definitely know that we know that his book boy is a woman." Bai Zhi was quite worried, "Will he kill someone to silence him?"

Chu You hugged Bai Zhi, let his head rest on the pillow, and lay down more comfortably: "I have Xiao Zhi'er protecting me, so what are you afraid of?"

Bai Zhi agreed very much: "You're right, I can protect Brother Chu well."

"Sleep for a while?" It's not yet noon, they came a little early, and there are still many students who haven't arrived, so there will be no classes these days, and only the first-arriving students will have their own activities, but there are also meals in the dining hall, and there are books The pavilion is also open.

"I don't want to sleep, and I don't want to eat."

"Then lie down for a while?" These days the journey is tiring, and it is really hard, "Shall I tell you a story?"

"Well, I want to lie down for a while." Bai Zhi glanced at the baggage on the table, "But our things haven't been packed yet, so I'd better get up and pack them."

Chu You smiled and pressed him on the bed: "I'll get those."

Bai Zhi refused: "No, I'm a book boy now, how can a book boy not work and let the master do it."

Chu You kissed him on the forehead: "Lie down well, don't make me feel bad."

After coaxing Bai Zhi, Chu You went out with a basin. Although the room was clean, it hadn't been lived in for a long time, so he still needed to wipe it.

When he came back from fetching water, he saw that Yun Tingshu was going outside to fetch water with a basin in hand, so the two exchanged greetings.

"Where's Bai Zhi?" Yun Tingshu asked casually.

Chu You said: "He is a little tired, resting in the room."

Although they have been together for more than a month, Yun Tingshu still feels a little strange, how can there be any reason for the master to work and the servant to rest?What a strange pair of master and servant.

When Chu You came back, Bai Zhi was already fast asleep. Chu You pulled the quilt to cover him, sat aside and looked at him for a while, smiled and shook his head, and said that he didn't want to sleep, and fell asleep faster than anyone else.
