Chapter 186: Chapter 164 What a Coincidence, You Are Here Too (2 Mega Chapters)
When Teacher Yan and his entourage arrived, someone was already waiting to greet them outside the south gate of Taiching Prefecture.
Once their identities were confirmed, everyone followed the guide into Taiching Prefecture.
Zhao Rong admired the scenery along the way.
The space within the prefecture was vast, with views that were uniquely secluded. Most of the buildings were grand and luxurious, with green tiles, red eaves, and architecture as exquisite as jade pavilions and crystal palaces.
He followed the group as they wound left and right, passing through one hall after another until they reached their arranged residences.
This was because, in the afternoon, Teacher Yan was to hold his first lecture for the Residence Students of Fu Yao Mansion.
Therefore, after a short rest, Zhao Rong followed his senior brothers and sisters to attend Teacher Yan’s class.
The venue for the lecture was a hall surrounded by greenery, open on all sides, and very bright. Teacher Yan was seated dignified upon the Xing Platform, with a group of Fu Yao Mansion Residence Students sitting on the ground below, listening attentively with their ears perked.
There were about a hundred seats in the lecture hall, and even counting Zhao Rong and his fellow disciples, it was not filled to capacity.
The format of Teacher Yan’s lectures in Taiching Prefecture was quite free and relaxed. The Residence Students could join or leave midway as long as they were quiet and did not disturb others.
The main duties of Zhao Rong and his fellow disciples were to assist in teaching and perform ceremonial duties to serve Teacher Yan.
Since a lecture lasted for one and a half hours, tasks such as serving tea and water to Teacher Yan halfway through would also fall to the disciples.
As for assisting in teaching, because of the collective lecturing style and the large number of Residence Students, Inner Chamber Disciples with qualifications like Li Jinsu would also help Teacher Yan guide students who had questions.
At most other times, Zhao Rong and the other disciples would listen to the lecture alongside the Fu Yao Mansion Residence Students.
In this manner, the first day passed by.
In the evening, after class, Li Jinsu gathered everyone before they left.
He said solemnly, “Some junior brothers and sisters may have been here a few times already, but there are also those who haven’t. Don’t think of me as long-winded, but Teacher still wants me to remind you all.
Taiching Prefecture is not our Academy, so when you’re in someone else’s place, you have to be behaved and polite. Don’t go wandering around aimlessly, intruding into someone else’s important areas, or… visiting some strange places.”
Li Jinsu’s smile was somewhat helpless as his gaze swept over the crowd, who wore varied expressions.
“Most of us are men, and this time is not like usual. If Teacher were not in Taiching Prefecture, you could run around as you please without anyone caring, as long as you don’t cause trouble. But now Teacher has brought us here, and if you do something impolite, it will be Teacher and the Academy that lose face.”
He sighed in his tone.
The crowd looked around at one another.
Zhao Rong was somewhat puzzled, wondering why it seemed like you all had some tacit understanding of matters…
Fan Yushu stepped forward with a wry smile and nodded, “Don’t worry, senior brother, the knowledge Teacher Yan taught us during the day hasn’t been fully digested yet. We still have to review our lessons and prepare for tomorrow morning’s class. We don’t have the spare time to run around.”
“Yes, senior brother, the textual composition assigned by Teacher yesterday isn’t finished yet. We have to hand it in tomorrow…”
“That’s right, it’s not our first time here…”
The surrounding disciples all nodded in agreement.
Not to wander around?
Sorry, senior brother, it’s not possible, I still have to find Qing Jun later… At least I have to deliver the letter to her.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Rong listened to everyone’s words, harboring his own thoughts, but he couldn’t say them in front of everyone, so he just blended in and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Li Jinsu let out a breath of relief and prepared to dismiss his junior brothers and sisters. However, he opened his mouth, then closed it again, hesitating, before finally speaking:
“Remember, don’t wander around aimlessly. I’m not worried about the junior sisters, but you junior brothers… sigh, especially stay away from Nanci Mansion. Nearly half of the female Residence Students of Taiching Prefecture live there. If you do something impolite, it would bring great embarrassment. Bear this in mind.”
Zhao Rong, mingling in the crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nanci Mansion, right? Nearly half of the female students of Taiching Prefecture live there, right?
Thanks, senior brother, there’s no need to ask; I’ll go there first to find Qing Jun later. I don’t even know if she’s there right now…
After Li Jinsu repeated his caution.
Zhao Rong followed along with the others, nodding earnestly.
Soon after, Li Jinsu dismissed everyone.
Obeying obediently, Zhao Rong joined his senior brothers back to their quarters. He lived in a compound with two courtyards, sharing it with Fan Yushu, who also had a special talent—each having their own room, facing each other.
While glancing sideways at his senior brothers returning to their rooms, Zhao Rong took out his key, planning to go back to his room first and wait, then sneak out quietly later.
Just then.
Fan Yushu suddenly called out to him, “Brother Ziyu, please wait a moment.”
“What is it?”
“Today is our first meeting, and I feel we hit it off. I happen to have a jar of fine wine. How about I bring it to Brother Ziyu’s room, and we enjoy it together?”
Zhao Rong sighed, “Thanks for the kind offer, Brother Yushu, and I feel the affinity with you too. However, Teacher Yan taught so much today, and I haven’t fully absorbed it all. I also have homework to complete tonight, so it’s not good to drink to excess. Let’s just postpone our drink for another day.”
Fan Yushu looked disappointed. After hesitating, he nodded, “Then I’ll go drink with Brother Li later. Brother Ziyu, you study well, and I won’t disturb you.”
With that, he turned and went back to his room.
Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his own room.
He tidied up his things and then sat quietly at the desk, waiting.
It wasn’t long before sounds of doors opening and footsteps gradually leaving came from outside—originating from Fan Yushu’s room across the way—he must be off to drink with the senior brother.
