On the way back from the library, Zhu Xu didn't have his usual mischievous smile and kept sighing. He kept asking why Qimu had agreed to their request.

After walking for a long distance, Qimu felt that the noise beside her ears was extremely unpleasant. She turned around with a smile, hugged the book she had just borrowed, and resisted the urge to slap the "mosquito" behind her to death.

"Student Zhu, what are you worried about? It's only just Poetry Competition, if I win, your face will also be proud. If I lose, it wouldn't be considered disgraceful. "

After all, I'm a few years younger than them, and I haven't studied for too long. Perhaps this general assembly is very important to your family, but to me, it is only a forced transfer.

Zhu Xu was shocked by the sudden turn of Qimu. He was stunned for a moment and then reacted. He snatched the heavy book from Qimu's hands and said anxiously:

"Student Ye, you have just arrived because you do not know the importance of Poetry Competition in the academy. Do you know why I have been reduced to such a state?"

Qimu moved her arms, which were sore from the pressure of the book, and asked:

"Why? Could it be that you got into an embarrassing situation and that's it? "

Hearing that, Zhu Xu did not immediately deny it. He slightly turned his head and his face turned red. With his sharp beard, he had a strange cuteness. He said in a low voice,

"It's not exactly like that, but it's about time …"

Qimu was surprised, but looking at Zhu Xu's expression, she could not ask any further. However, in order to comfort Zhu Xu, she said:

"Student Zhu, don't worry. I won't do something that I'm not confident in."

Zhu Xu thought that Qimu did not take his words seriously. His temper was not good to begin with, so he became even more agitated and said:

"I am relieved? [What the heck am I worried about? You can't even write properly, and you're even delusional enough to think of participating in Poetry Competition. Aren't you trying to make people laugh at you? "

"Forget it, I'm not going with you anymore!"

Saying so, he placed the book heavily on Qimu's chest. The weight that came with it almost made Qimu stagger and fall to the ground. Zhu Xu, on the other hand, walked away without looking back.

Looking at Zhu Xu's back, Qimu seemed to have thought of something. However, a bitter smile was plastered on her lips. He left just like that? Sure enough, it was difficult to change one's nature. This was the person who had scolded her that day.

However, her handwriting really wasn't that good. Originally, she wanted to ask him to help her write it. It seems like this matter …

Qimu weighed the book in her arms. The weight of the thick book was not light, and as she looked at the small courtyard in which she lived alone, she could see that there was still a long way to go. She took a deep breath and thought to herself, When it comes to Niu Village, she did a lot of farming.

When they got back to the small courtyard, Qimu put down the books and lied down on the bed in a big calmness, looking at the titles of the "History of Donghua" and "Talk about the affairs of the people". Qimu revealed a gratified smile.

It was good to have a small house of his own. He could do anything he wanted after closing the door. No wonder modern people gritted their teeth and wanted to be a house slave. He only wished for peace of mind.

Qimu only lay there for a while before she quickly got up. She first arranged the books on the bed, then touched her empty stomach. She then took out a piece of paper from her bosom and opened it.

There were roughly a hundred or so boxes, and the ten in the front had already been marked with a red hook, while the bottom right corner of the paper was sealed with the seal of "Qizhang Academy".

This piece of paper was actually Qizhang Academy's meal ticket. Teachers and students could use this paper to go to the dining hall for a meal. There was no need to pay for it.

Many of the students in the academy used silver to exchange for meal tickets, and then directly brought their meal tickets along with them, saving them a lot of trouble.

Of course, Qimu didn't have much money with her, so she couldn't afford to exchange this meal ticket. A meal ticket cost two to three taels of silver, so how could she, a poor person, afford to exchange with money? Even if she had the money, she wouldn't be willing to part with it.

Qimu's meal ticket was given to her by Liu Fuzi three days ago.

At that time, Qimuyuan wanted to shirk him, but Liu Fuzi had already helped her a lot and carried a lot of risks, so she couldn't let him spend any more money.

"In the academy, you should do what you should do in the academy. Be at ease and study properly. Your home is far away, and I'm your teacher and your elder. I should take care of you in your place."

"If you don't accept these things, perhaps you will feel at ease in your heart. However, if I see your great-grandparents one day, it will be difficult for me to speak of them."

"Take it first. In the future, if you have the ability, just return it to the academy. When it's time to study, don't bother with this. You dare to come alone to find me. You are also a smart child, so you should understand."

Not only the meal ticket, even the ink and paper Qimu was using now were all given to her by Liu Fuzi. It could be said that it was all thanks to Liu Fuzi that Qimu was able to have this peaceful reading environment.

After arranging everything in the house, Qimu opened the door and looked at the glaring sun in the sky. This small courtyard sat facing the north, facing the south, and was extremely comfortable in the sun. There were even some flowers and plants growing in the small courtyard.

Qimu smiled slightly. Her expression was relaxed, but her eyes were filled with tenacity as she thought to herself:

"Today, she'll be able to finish learning the Three Character Classic with a little effort. Starting tomorrow, she'll go to Teacher Bao and learn the Hundred Family Names, followed by the Thousand Character Classic. After she finishes learning these three books, she'll be considered as finished with her studies."

"Poetry Competition is in the middle of the next month, after calculating the time, based on her speed, she should be able to finish learning it. This is the other reason why she dares to agree to Student Sun's request today.

"And the most important thing was that she found out. The era she came from was very strange, and her culture was still stuck in the Confucius era. Like in ancient China, the Confucian school was independent and had learned four books and five classics, while her economy was developing relatively better."

However, this was just the right timing. At that time, the top student in Class C, Sun Xiusheng, would be able to enjoy the splendor and elegance of China's five thousand years of history.
