Xiao Nianzhi didn't expect that the eldest brother of the Xiao family, who was studying abroad, would actually send him a gift.
She was so pleasantly surprised that her eyes became clearer: "Really? Then when he comes back, I will have to thank him properly."
Uncle Qin looked at her lovingly and laughed with her.
The things had been delivered to the Imperial College. Xiao Nianzhi handed over the gingerbread, said a few words, and explained that Aunt Yu was waiting, then said goodbye to Uncle Qin and returned to the carriage.
Afterwards, the master and apprentice bought some snacks, and then wandered to Aunt Yu's Zhuangzi.
In the Imperial College at this time, during the half month without Xiao Nianzhi's midnight snack, the students' daily life...
Well, no big changes.
But there are still many small ones.
Many students who had eaten the delicacies prepared by Xiao Nianzhi would wander to the cafeteria every time it was midnight snack time, and then go back sighing when they saw that Miss Xiao was not there.
Some people who have the habit of eating late-night snacks now have no chance to criticize. They can only say that they eat what is available.
However, in my heart, I feel unhappy.
If you have never had good food before, you can still eat the plain noodles and pancakes in the cafeteria.
But isn’t this a good meal? Let’s go back to the past...
Well, I really can’t go back!
A well-informed student had already shared with his friends when he returned to the academy early this morning: "I heard that Miss Xiao is coming back!"
The students who heard the news were surprised: "Is it true?"
"My home is in a village, which happens to be near my aunt's village. I heard that the coachman has received the news and went to Baima Temple to pick up my aunt early this morning."
"Now that Aunt Yu is back, Miss Xiao should be back too, right?"
"I'm not sure. Will you go back to Master Xiao's house to rest for two days?"
"Oh my god, why don't you come back? Oh, we all know we were wrong!"
…
The students secretly shared among themselves.
Some students who had a good relationship with Xiao Zhou even came to him quietly: "Brother Xiao, will Miss Xiao come back today?"
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, will our sister come back today? Can we have a new midnight snack tonight?"
…
If there is anyone who knows the inside information about Xiao Nianzhi, it should be Xiao Zhou.
Apart from Xiao Siye, there should be no one in this academy who has a closer relationship with Xiao Nianzhi than him.
Therefore, when many people heard it, they pricked up their ears and were ready to listen.
Xiao Zhou really knew something about this.
Xiao Nianzhi originally thought he would be back at the end of July.
However, due to the back and forth and the arrangements made by Aunt Yu, it was delayed a bit, and someone had to go back to the house to deliver the news.
When he returned to the academy early this morning, his father also told him that his sister was expected to come back today. There was no one in the house, so she could probably follow Aunt Yu back to Zhuangzi and return to the academy tomorrow morning.
At this time, when a classmate asked, Xiao Zhou couldn't hide it and nodded gently: "The news from my sister said that I will come back tomorrow."
As for where he was going today, Xiao Zhou didn't mention it in detail.
When the students heard this, they suddenly started to cry again: Ah, how could it be tomorrow?
Woohoo, who said today?
Stand up and snatch Miss Xiao back!
Xiao Nianzhi, who had successfully returned to Zhuangzi and was eating the summer fruit ice plate comfortably, said: It’s a hot day and I don’t want to bother.
Aunt Yu's village is not a small place, with all the necessary items, and you can also take a nice bath.
The conditions in Prince Kang's small village were very simple before. Now that it's hot today, plus there are still a few days left and there are people in the same room, Xiao Nianzhi hasn't even taken a proper bath.
Now that I'm back, I can't take a quick shower.
Wash it once in the delicious kitchen, then come out and soak it for a while.
The delicious kitchen was upgraded last time, and many categories of toiletries were added to the bathroom.
Such as foot bath essential oil balls, bath essential oil balls, etc.
Xiao Nianzhi has never had the chance to try it. Now he can finally relax temporarily, but he has to try it.
Although……
It was washed before.
But, it’s different, it’s not the same at all!
The master and apprentice had been working hard for most of the day, and they were actually a little tired.
Nowadays, compared to July, the days are shorter, but it doesn’t get dark too early.
So, the two of them came back, ate some fruit, and then went back to their respective houses to sleep.
When I woke up, it was almost dusk, and the cook had prepared the meal, just waiting for the two of them to get up and eat it.
Xiao Nianzhi has been often at the foot of the mountain in recent days, and his food is not that light.
But Aunt Yu has been a vegetarian for almost half a month, and she hasn't had any trace of meat or fish.
So, don’t prepare any more meat tonight.
However, she didn't have much appetite due to the hot weather, and after being a vegetarian for so long, the sudden abundance of fish and meat was a heavy burden on her stomach.
In the end, Aunt Yu could only eat a little bit while being greedy, and take it step by step.
After dinner, the master and apprentice sat in the courtyard, chatted for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
Naturally, you should take a comfortable bath before going to bed.
Xiao Nianzhi not only went into the delicious kitchen to wash it carefully, but also came out to soak for a while and enjoy the fragrance of the bath essential oil balls.
She deliberately chose the scent of osmanthus, which smelled the same as the hair oil and bath beans that Aunt Yu gave her, so it was not easy to make mistakes.
After a lot of fussing, it was almost midnight, so Xiao Nianzhi quickly blew his hair and went to sleep.
The weather was good the next day. Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu got up early to clean up, had a simple meal, and then took the carriage back to the Imperial College.
After entering August, it will feel a little cooler in the morning and evening.
Therefore, it is not particularly difficult to love even if you are riding in a carriage while the sun has not yet risen.
Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu returned to the academy in a low-key manner, and all the daily necessities they brought were carried in with the help of the coachman.
The students were all in class at the moment, and there was almost no one idle in the courtyard.
Therefore, the existence of master and disciple is very obvious.
Some students who had dropped out suddenly discovered...
Hey hey hey?
Isn't that Miss Xiao?
If you don’t see it clearly, take a closer look!
The student tried his best to widen his eyes and look carefully at the young girl next to Aunt Yu.
What Xiao Nianzhi is wearing today is the clothes that he went to have newly cut with Aunt Yu last month.
An ivory white round-neck blouse paired with a bluish-white embroidered horse-faced skirt.
Very fresh and natural color, very suitable for summer wear.
The students' eyes widened and they took a closer look. When they discovered that it was indeed Xiao Nianzhi, they couldn't help but cheer a little in their hearts.
Of course, there are also some students whose ears turn red just watching.
This this……
Why haven't we seen each other for only half a month? I always feel that Miss Xiao looks more beautiful and her figure is more graceful...
No, no, no, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.
They are gentlemen, don't look at it, take it back! ! !
