Chapter 336 Chongqi Academy
In the early morning, at the gate of Chongqi Academy, Zhu Yingtai arrived in a carriage. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Fusu waiting at the gate with his arms folded. She couldn't help but said happily, "Brother Fusu, are you waiting for me here?"

Fusu looked at the bookcase Zhu Yingtai was carrying and said with a smile, "Of course, my Marco, please help me take care of it! Come on, let's go in!"

After saying this, Fusu walked towards the closed door of the academy, rang the doorknob, and soon a servant came running over.

After the servant opened the door, Fusu and Zhu Yingtai bowed to the servant and said, "Young man, we were introduced by someone to come here to study. Please go and tell them."

"Okay, wait a moment!" The servant quickly returned the greeting, asked the two to wait, closed the door and left quickly.

After a while, the servant came back, opened the door and saluted the two. "You two, the teacher is in class, so it's inconvenient for you to come. Please follow me to the classroom. The teacher is waiting for you in the classroom."

"Thank you!" Fusu and Zhu Yingtai bowed again and entered Chongqi Academy together under the guidance of the academy servants.

The environment inside is elegant, the buildings are simple, there are bamboo forests, rockery, lotus ponds and moon-shaped ponds. It is indeed a good place to learn and study.

Not far away in the big house, there was a faint sound of lectures. It was obvious that the teacher was explaining the essence of the article to the students.

"Please wait a moment, both of you!"

Led by the servant, Fusu and Zhu Yingtai came to the classroom door. Then the servant said something, bowed, and left in a hurry.

The teacher inside seemed not to have noticed the two people coming, and continued to explain the essence of the article. The students inside also seemed to be unaware of the two people at the door, and listened to the teacher's explanation attentively.

Fusu also looked around this ancient classroom.

The teacher was an old man with gray hair and beard, about sixty years old, wearing a gray-brown official suit and a official hat.

There are forty-three desks in the classroom. One is at the end of the classroom, facing the gate, which is the teacher's desk.

The remaining forty-two desks are arranged in three vertical rows, with fourteen desks in each column.

The students behind the desk were all wearing blue-gray scholar's gowns and scholar's hats, holding books in their hands. They listened carefully to the teacher's explanation while carefully comparing the articles.

Seeing that the teacher was explaining the article to the students with his back to them and did not seem to notice them, Zhu Yingtai was about to walk into the classroom.

Upon seeing this, Fusu quickly grabbed Zhu Yingtai who wanted to go in, and raised his hand to knock lightly on the door frame next to him three times.

From the moment the servants brought them here, they had already entered the Master's test.

After hearing these three knocks on the door, the master, who had his back to the door, turned around and looked at the two people at the door, saying, "You two are here, please come in."

After the two came in, the Master first asked Zhu Yingtai, "May I ask the name of this disciple? Where are you from?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingtai said first: "Master, my name is Zhu Yingtai, and I came here to study!"

The Master casually continued, "Then may I ask how this disciple came to Chongqi Academy?"

Hearing this question, Fusu frowned slightly.

Zhu Yingtai quickly replied: "I came here by car!"

"I came by car!" The teacher said immediately, "Then choose a seat in the back row and sit with your classmates! Go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingtai did not doubt it and walked to the back row holding her book box.

In the back row, a handsome man was delighted when he saw Zhu Yingtai coming, and he quickly gave up half of his seat. This man was Liang Shanbo.

Although they are both men, Zhu Yingtai has a very pretty appearance, which naturally makes people feel favorable towards her.

Seeing his excitement, Fusu might have realized that Zhu Yingtai was a woman dressed as a man.

However, when Zhu Yingtai arrived at the back row, before she could sit down, the teacher suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhu, are you going to take an ox cart or a horse carriage?"

Zhu Yingtai heard this and realized that there was something fishy going on. She quickly turned around with her bookcase in her arms and replied, "Carriage!" "Oh!" The Master said calmly, "Then you can sit in the first three rows!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingtai hurriedly walked forward three rows.

Then, the Master continued to ask, "Is that a one-horse carriage or a two-horse carriage?"

Zhu Yingtai quickly replied: "Two carriages and three horses!"

"Oh!" This time, the teacher's voice was obviously a little surprised, and his tone suddenly became more polite and cheerful. "Then you can sit in the first three rows!"

"Three rows and three rows, sit with me!"

A student in front counted on his fingers and immediately became excited. He gave up half of his seat before the teacher even said anything.

The master continued to ask, fanning himself, "How many boxes of luggage are there?"

Zhu Yingtai: "Ten boxes!"

Master: "How many book boys do you have?"

Zhu Yingtai: "There is no book boy, only ten servants and one maid!"

"Maid!" The master was even more surprised. He stopped fanning himself and asked hurriedly, "So are you sleeping in the upper room or the side room?"

Zhu Yingtai, who already understood what the teacher was asking, answered confidently, "Library!"

At this moment, the Master was already showing some anxiety: "So, is your meal a top-notch menu, or a mix of meat and vegetables?"

Zhu Yingtai: "I don't know. I eat with the academician's wife. I eat whatever she eats!"

"Ah!" All the students in the class were surprised. This background is really extraordinary!

The students in the first row were also looking forward to Zhu Yingtai sitting with them. Having a good relationship with her would definitely be very beneficial to their future.

"Student Wangcun!" The teacher immediately said to the student who was just counting on his fingers, "Stand up, sit in the back row, and give your seat to student Zhu!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Wangchun was dumbfounded, but he could only stand up unwillingly and sit in the back row.

The students further back sat in the back row, and the second-most-ready student sat in the last row. They would have to wait until the get out of class was over before another table was added to the back row.

After asking Zhu Yingtai, the teacher looked at Fusu and asked, "May I ask what is this student's name and where it came from?"

Because Fusu came with Zhu Yingtai and they seemed to have a good relationship, the teacher did not ask questions as casually as he did when he first asked Zhu Yingtai. His eyes were even kinder!
Fusu smiled, bowed and replied: "I come from Guanzhong, my surname is Ying, I am Fusu, and I am honored to meet you, Master!"

Hearing Fusu's answer, the Master was immediately surprised. He was surprised that there was someone named Fusu, and that his surname was Ying, and he was also surprised that Fusu answered that he was from Guanzhong!
For a moment, the teacher even forgot to continue asking questions and just thought about it himself.

A name and where it comes from reveal a lot of information.

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the scope of Guanzhong is no longer the territory of the Qin State, but has gradually expanded. This scope is very large, but combined with Fusu's name, the scope can be narrowed down to the Qin State during the Warring States Period.

Where was the Qin State during the Warring States Period? It is now the Later Qin, Western Qin, Northern Liang, etc. Considering his surname Ying, the name Fusu, and the fact that he came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the most likely candidate is the Later Qin, which borders the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the less likely candidate is the Western Qin.

The Later Qin was the most powerful country in the Central Plains. He was also named Ying Fusu, so his identity was probably extraordinary!
"Ying Fusu?"

The classmates around him also looked at Fusu in surprise.

This name is really surprising. Since the Qin Dynasty, no one has been called Fusu. The surname is still Ying.

Some smart students have already started thinking and calculating.
