Chapter 145 Hello, classmates
"I brought two younger brothers here. This is Pei Rongjue, and this is Hua Moyuan. They and Yunhai are both in Class Dingxiao (1)." Gui Jingan first pointed at Rongjue who was walking in front, then pointed at Xiaoyuan who was following behind, and introduced them.
Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan stepped forward to salute. Yun He and Yun Hai on the opposite side also bowed in return. When they stood up, they both looked at Xiao Yuan who was walking behind them, with a look of surprise.
"Hua Moyuan? The Hua Moyuan who won first place in the civilian recruitment?" Yun Hai on the opposite side spoke first. Xiao Yuan raised his head slightly, glanced at the other party, and nodded.
Hualei also looked at the boy named Yunhai. If I remembered correctly, this Yunhai should be Bai Yunhai, who ranked first in the official recruitment. He was ranked second after Xiaoyuan on the list of Dingxiao (1) class.
Gui Jingan smiled, looked at Yunhai and Xiaoyuan, and said, "You two junior brothers are the first in the official recruitment and the first in the civilian recruitment respectively. I didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that you are not only in the same class, but now you are even assigned to the same building. It's fate. In the future, you two junior brothers must help each other and make progress together."
Xiaoyuan and Yunhai looked at each other, and neither of them had any intention of helping each other. Yunhai was obviously a little unconvinced and asked, "How old are you?"
"Eight years old. You?"
As if he didn't believe that Xiaoyuan was only eight years old, Yunhai looked even more unconvinced. He stared at Xiaoyuan from head to toe for several times before answering reluctantly, "Nine years old, in lunar years. The New Year came less than two months after I was born." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, as if he was blaming his mother for giving birth to him two months early.
"I was born in early August, which makes me ten months younger than you." Xiao Yuan stabbed him without hesitation.
"Less than ten months, it's nine and a half months." Yunhai corrected Xiaoyuan's statement with a serious and rigorous attitude.
Xiaoyuan glanced at the sea of clouds and said nothing.
"I'm also nine years old, but on my birthday at the end of May, I was ranked 20th in the official recruitment and 39th in the class." Rong Jue at the side said with a smile, not at all inferior to the other person's frustrated look.
"Tsk, look at how unconvinced you are. You can't beat others in the exam, and you are older than them. Aren't you just humiliating yourself?" The young man opposite laughed, his brows relaxed, and he looked unrestrained. The piece of paper in his hand gently brushed the ends of Yunhai's hair.
"Sixth brother." Yun Hai said angrily, his voice rising.
"What's there to be dissatisfied about? If you are dissatisfied, just go ahead and wait until you get first place in the monthly exam." The man called Yunhe didn't save face for his younger brother. "You have been so arrogant at home these days, and you acted like the best. But now you are not as good as others, and the key is that you are older than them. Just tell me whether you are angry or not?" Yunhe looked like he deserved a beating, and what he said really made Yunhai angry, but he could do nothing about it.
"Hmph, I'll get first place in the exam next month and come back to show you. Then you give me that crescent-shaped knife." Yun Hai made a request to his sixth brother.
"Okay, if you don't get first place in the next monthly exam, you can forget about getting that knife again." Yun He provoked his younger brother.
Hualei smiled and asked Qingcheng and Qingyue to move the things from the carriage into the room. Xiaoyuan's bed number was number two, opposite Yunhai, and Rongjue's bed number was number three, on the same side as Xiaoyuan. Qinglu and Rongjue's maid Qingcha made their own beds. Gui Jingan, Yunhe and Rongjin left the room and sat on the stone bench in the yard in front of the room to chat.
Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan each put their stationery on their desks. Yun Hai sat on his seat opposite, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes kept looking at Xiao Yuan and Rong Jue, with a curious and resistant look.
Hualei was helping Qinglu and Qingcha to tidy up. Although she had made two quilts, she was afraid that the thick quilt would not have room in the building, so she did not bring it with her. She only brought the thin quilt she was using now. After putting the quilt on the bed, one box was also empty. When she took the box back, the room would still be a bit crowded with nowhere to put it.
Hualei put the box containing Xiaoyuan's brocade robe and clothes under the bed against the wall. Under the box, Hualei asked Uncle Zhao to nail two five-centimeter-wide square wooden sticks so that there would be a certain amount of space between the box and the ground, and the clothes in the box would not get damp. The beds in the Imperial College were not like the bunk beds in the previous school, so boxes and other things could only be stuffed under the bed.
Finally, she carefully hung the prepared bed curtain in front of the bed with a rope. When she pulled it, the space inside the bed became darker and more private. Qingcha, who was standing next to her, followed Hualei's example and hung up Rongjue's bed curtain.
Yun Hai stood up curiously from his seat, walked to Rong Jue's bed, opened the curtain to take a look, closed it again, and turned to ask Rong Jue. "Why did you hang this? It sounds like a woman."
Rong Jue looked back, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Let me tell you, you haven't seen this before, right? This is a good thing, called a bed curtain, used to block light. If you stay up late to read at night and I want to sleep, I just need to pull the bed curtain, and you will see that it will be dark inside, and I can sleep well. Sister Hua said that if you sleep well, you will be energetic, learn faster, and become smarter."
Yun Hai looked at Rong Jue as if he was an idiot, "You got 39th place in the exam because of this bed curtain?"
"That's not the case. I didn't use this when I lived at home." Rong Jue replied.
As the two were talking, another student came in. He was chubby, panting, carrying his school bag, and sat on the number four bed next to the door.
Following behind was a middle-aged man who was equally fat. He should be the father of this student. He bowed and saluted to Gui Jingan, Rong Jin and Yun He who were sitting outside. Gui Jingan and the others also stood up and saluted one by one. For a while, there was a lot of greeting and returning of greetings.
After the greetings were over, the senior student introduced the new student to Rong Jue, Xiaoyuan and Yunhai in the room. It turned out that this student was Zhou Ziren, the second on the list of privately recruited students, and ranked third in Class Ding (1).
As soon as the senior finished speaking, Yunhai and Xiaoyuan stared at Zhou Ziren like searchlights. No matter if they were ranked first or second, they would always have a natural sense of urgency and hatred towards the classmates who ranked next to them.
Zhou Ziren, who was sitting on the bed, obviously knew about Yun Hai and Xiao Yuan's situation before he came in. He stood up with a smile and bowed, "Hello, classmates. Hello, classmates."
