Not going back to the Imperial College?
So where is he going?
Xiao Nianzhi became even more confused, but fortunately Zhang Hanshan quickly explained: "I heard that he will go to Tingyin Academy in the future."
Tingyin Academy?
That is the most famous academy in the capital.
Nothing else.
This is the gathering place for rich second-generation idiots in the capital and surrounding areas.
To put it bluntly, it is a place where money is transferred to the sons of the idiots and powerful people in the capital.
Once others ask, they will at least have been to the academy and read books.
Although Qian Shun's grades in the Imperial College were at the bottom of the rankings, the threshold of the Imperial College itself was high. His grades in other nearby academies could not be said to be inferior, but they were still very impressive.
Why did he go from the top of the cloud to the end of the cliff all of a sudden?
Xiao Nianzhi didn't understand even more, but Zhang Hanshan lowered his voice and explained in a low voice: "I heard, I heard, I don't know if it's true or not. We brothers and sisters can just let it go among ourselves, but we don't want to tell outsiders. , arranged by the Song family."
Was it arranged by the Song family?
Isn't that what the Third Prince means?
Even though Zhang Hanshan doesn't have a strong sense of boundaries, and he doesn't seem to be very guarded when he speaks, that's because the relationship between them is relatively close, so he speaks out.
Tonight, if someone else was in front of him, Zhang Hanshan would definitely be very strict with his mouth and would not discuss even a single word.
After all, once word spreads about the struggle for imperial power, it will easily affect the whole family!
Therefore, after Zhang Hanshan finished speaking in a low voice, he immediately laughed: "Sister Xiao's skills are really good, that..."
Halfway through his words, he touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Can I be so shameless as to ask for a few dollars back?"
Xiao Nianzhi makes a lot of both kinds of mooncakes, so when Xiao Zhou looked at her, she nodded quickly: "Brother Zhang, just don't dislike it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanshan hurriedly shook his head: "It turns out that I came here shamelessly. Where does the disdain come from? I don't want to be dissatisfied. That niche is here. Thank you sister."
As soon as his sister came out, Xiao Zhou gave him a blow.
Zhang Hanshan giggled, showing his big white teeth, pretending that he didn't understand anything.
From the perspective of Zhang Hanshan's uncomplicated brain, being a stutterer and being thick-skinned is neither embarrassing nor shabby.
After Zhang Hanshan made three pieces of mooncakes and took two small bags, he thanked her and left.
After he left, Xiao Nianzhi tidied up and was sent back to rest by Xiao Zhou.
The next day was sunny.
Now morning and evening, there is already the coolness of autumn.
After Xiao Nianzhi got up early to wash up, she changed her clothes, blew in the cool morning breeze, and made herself a pot of scented tea.
Before the tea was drunk, Yu Jijiu and Xiao Siye came over.
The two of them had no idea what to eat for lunch.
They came here because when they couldn't sleep last night, they thought about these farm tools again and had different opinions or ideas.
Then, they came over in the morning and took Xiao Nianzhi with them to have a new round of discussion around the drawings.
Xiao Zhou originally wanted to come and see how Xiao Nianzhi was sleeping, but when he came over and saw the discussion center, he was so frightened that he shrank and turned around to leave.
If an uninformed person saw his back, they would think there was some wild beast chasing him.
Xiao Zhou said, it’s not a wild beast.
The beast in the unknown realm is more terrifying than the real beast.
The bitterness last night is enough.
He really couldn't eat any more!
The three of them did not forget about food and sleep this time. After discussing for a while, they went to eat the morning meal first.
After a simple meal, a new round of discussion began. Xiao Zhou was so frightened that he huddled in the corner and silently read the book.
Xiao Qing, who had been waiting at home all night and had almost finished her snacks, looked to her left when her father, brother and sister didn't come back, and to her right
Not back yet.
The young boy couldn't wait any longer. He originally wanted to borrow a carriage from his neighbor and go directly to Zhuangzi to have a look.
As a result, Yu Jijiu on the left did not return home at all, and the carriage was not at home.
In Mr. Zhang's house on the right, the second young master went to Zhuangzi yesterday but did not come back, and the carriage did not come back either.
Xiao Qing:.
It’s so hard to go out.
In desperation, the young boy gritted his teeth, took out some personal money, rented a donkey and rode it to Zhuangzi.
When he arrived, Xiao Qing found that his second brother was reading in the corner, looking unhappy.
Father, Yu Shibo and his sister were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
When the discussion got heated, my father and Yu Shibo even came to blows at each other, completely losing their usual elegant appearance of literati and scholars.
Xiao Qing:?
What happened?
He did not dare to move closer to the center. He glanced at Xiao Nianzhi and found that his sister was fine. Then he approached his second brother in the corner and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, what's going on?".q.
Xiao Zhou had just seen his third brother coming over. When he asked, he nodded in the direction of Xiao Nianzhi and the others: "Sister is discussing farm tools with father and Yu Shibo."
farm tools?
Xiao Qing opened her mouth wide after hearing this. He was young and reading almost consumed all his energy.
Farm tools, farm work, etc...
He really can't do it and doesn't understand it.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi actually understood this and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister is so amazing!"
He can cook, make ice, and is said to be able to make military rations. Now he also knows how to farm tools.
In such a comparison, they appear to be very useless.
Apart from reading some sage books, he seems to know nothing.
Realizing this, Xiao Qing lowered her head in embarrassment and reflected on herself.
Before I had taken more than three breaths of reflection, I heard Xiao Zhou ask softly: "What does it smell like on you?"
He asked, sniffing lightly.
In fact, the fragrance of mooncakes lingered all night last night.
So much so that in my sleep, there is that soft and alluring sweet fragrance.
Now he always felt that he could smell a similar sweet smell on Xiao Qing's body.
When asked by the second brother, Xiao Qing's temporary introspection was interrupted. He pointed to his sleeves and arms, and whispered: "I saw newly made Poria cakes, fresh moon cakes, and plums on the road. Ginger, I bought some for my sister."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Second brother, do you want to eat?"
The question was asked like this, but Xiao Qing did not move his hands. It was obvious that he was just asking politely and did not really mean to give.
Xiao Zhou laughed angrily at his appearance, and finally pretended to be angry and said, "I won't eat it."
Xiao Qing pretended not to understand, chuckled, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Nianzhi.
The discussion ended temporarily, and then the pot of tea that Xiao Nianzhi had brewed earlier was refilled with water and he drank another round.
After drinking it empty, the scented tea tastes very light when brewed again.
Xiao Nianzhi thought for a while, took out some more Emei snow buds, and brewed another pot for everyone.
This tea was not made from the delicious kitchen, but was left for her by Yan Xingxuan.
Yu Jijiu and Xiao Siye knew as soon as they drank it that this was good tea.
But the two of them had a tacit understanding, and no one teased her too much about how Xiao Nianzhi could have such a good thing.
