The college dining hall is located on a small slope on the west side. It is an octagonal building with a wide view and a commanding view of the entire college.
The place where Su Daoshan is sitting today is by the east window. A plate of tofu soup, a plate of eggs, a large bowl of white rice, and a small bottle of wine. The students nearby looked at it and secretly swallowed their saliva.
Only the children of the six major aristocratic families can afford such food. As for ordinary students, those who are well-off will buy a vegetarian dish and a piece of bread that they bring with them. All I can save is scooping up a bowl of hot soup and soaking in the whole-grain steamed buns I brought with me.
Of course, happiness comes from comparison.
Being able to afford to study in the academy and having enough food every day is a hundred times a thousand times happier than ordinary civilians and the refugees outside the city who cannot afford a full meal for ten days and a half.
When they learned that Yue Shifeng and others were accompanying a girl with stunning appearance and extraordinary temperament to visit the academy, people quickly gathered around the east window. The students pointed and talked with envy.
"Is this Snow Fairy Fan Caiyi?"
"Sure enough, the beauty of the sky and the beauty of the country are well-deserved. Look at her temperament, she is really like a fairy descending to earth."
"Hey, I heard that it was Senior Brother Yue who saved Snow Fairy from this attack. With Senior Brother Yue's talent, maybe it will become a good story in the future..."
"Good story?! You're probably overthinking it."
"Senior Brother Yue's talent is indeed outstanding, but he is only the best in Yishan City. Even if he can enter the Leiyun Sect, the strongest of the nine sects in North County, in this county examination, there is still a huge gap between him and Hangu."
"No! Fan Caiyi is a direct descendant of Hangu! Among the four counties of Xiazhou, which sect you go to is not treated as an honored guest? Even the elders and even the head of the sect have to personally receive you. How can a descendant of an aristocratic family from our small town be so worthy? Up."
"Hush, you guys are talking like this, be careful that Senior Brother Yue will get annoyed when he hears it."
"Ahem, everyone just said it casually. Senior Brother Yue may not have such thoughts at all. He is just some villain spreading rumors."
"But no matter what I see, Senior Brother Yue's eyes have never left Snow Fairy for a moment..."
"Shut up! If you say that, it's not just Senior Brother Yue. Do you think other people are the same? How many times in your life will you see such a fairy-like figure!"
"But one thing to say is that the rescue of several famous families in Qilingmen this time was a big success. Lu Xing'an, the leader of Liufengjian in Qilingmen, was very grateful in private. It would be fine if he died in the battle this time. If If a high-ranking disciple in Hangu makes a mistake, he will die without redemption."
"Of course, Qilingmen is still a lower-level sect in Hangu. Even Lu Xing'an went to Hangu for further study. I heard that he even entered the inner sect."
Everyone was watching and talking enthusiastically when they suddenly noticed that several more carriages stopped at the gate of the college, and more than thirty people got out.
"Who is coming?" The students all looked around.
"He's a descendant of aristocratic families from Huoniu City and Xisai City..." A familiar voice rang in his ears, pulling Su Daoshan's gaze back, who was also looking around.
This is a capable young man wearing a long blue cotton coat. Without waiting for Su Daoshan to speak, the young man sat down at the table, picked up Su Daoshan's wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and took a sip happily: "Brother Su's wine is indeed delicious."
The free wine is delicious. Looking back on his original memory, Su Daoshan looked at the young man with interest, but his face was stern, and he calculated seriously: "Brother Lin, this is the 632nd glass of wine you owe me."
The boy's name is Lin Yu, he is sixteen years old, a student in Class A of the Engineering Department, and a descendant of the Lin family from one of the six great aristocratic families. He is also one of the few acquaintances of Su Daoshan in the academy.
The reason why they are acquaintances rather than friends is because the two first met when Su Daoshan accidentally bumped into Lin Yu and destroyed one of his carefully crafted works.
In the past, when Su Daoshan argued with others, he was always the only one who refused to give up. But this time, it was Lin Yu who stalked him. One demanded compensation of "ten dou of spirit millet", while the other angrily denounced "extortion". It's a stalemate. Lin Yu liked wine, so every time Su Daoshan ate in the college cafeteria, he came uninvited.
Neither of them looked down on the other, and whenever they met, they would argue endlessly without even saying a few words.
But even so, every time Lin Yu saw Su Daoshan, he would still sit over, and Su Daoshan would also order a bottle of wine while eating.
Seeing Su Daoshan staring at him, Lin Yu didn't take it seriously. He poured the wine and said, "You owe me."
"That's unreasonable," Su Daoshan said with a serious face, "You owe me! Six hundred and thirty-three cups!"
Lin Yu turned to look at the disciples from Huoniu City and Xisai City's aristocratic families who were entering the academy one after another and said, "These people must have heard that Yue Shifeng and the others were here with Fairy Snow, and hurried over to join them."
"Oh?" Su Daoshan turned around and looked.
"At the City Lord's dinner last night," Lin Yu said, "these guys were very friendly. They pulled Yue Shifeng and Zhou Qinghe along and said a lot of grateful words, and we almost became sworn brothers on the spot. I heard that we made an appointment to go sightseeing together today."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and asked, "Have you seen it? People from the Mi family."
In the academy, two groups of people were preparing to meet, greeting each other from afar, and it was extremely lively. Su Daoshan's eyes fell on the three people who accompanied the children of the aristocratic families from Huoniu City and Xisai City.
Two of them actually knew each other.
One is named Mi Rui and the other is Mi Jing. They are all academy students. On weekdays, I don’t see you when you look up. Among them, Mi Jing is still a student in Class A of liberal arts.
As for the other person who looked much older, Su Daoshan was not impressed. What particularly surprised him was that this man was wearing the uniform of a second-class soldier of the city defense army.
Before Su Daoshan could ask Lin Yu, he heard a student next to him exclaiming.
"It's Mi Lang!"
"Look, Mi Lang is back! Has he already been awarded the rank of second-class city guard? He's so awesome!"
Lin Yu said: "Mi Lang is the leader of the third generation of the Mi family. He is twenty-two years old this year. He was admitted to Leiyunmen four years ago. Two years earlier than your eldest brother Su Daoyu. He entered the seventh rank at the age of twenty and is now a He has reached the upper level of seventh grade. I heard that he is preparing to take the state examination next year, and his goal is Jiuxiao Sect."
Jiuxiao Sect and Hangu are equally famous.
"Originally, he never came back. Until last month, his name suddenly appeared in the city guard directory, and he was awarded the second-class soldier. Tsk tsk, five gold and stones a month. If it were an ordinary family, the whole family would not have to worry about food and drink. . But they obviously didn’t come here for this monthly salary.”
Lin Yu was shaking his head and drinking while looking at Su Daoshan thoughtfully.
Su Daoshan's heart moved slightly, but his face was still as dull and serious as before, and he frowned and said: "Of course it's not for the salary. Outstanding disciples of the sect, enter the city guard, or enter the strong wind, dense forest, fierce fire, and the four armies of the majestic mountain. Isn’t it customary to protect one’s family and country?”
"Routine?" Lin Yu frowned, looked at Su Daoshan and shook his head and sighed, "I really can't explain it to a nerd like you." He lowered his voice and said: "The dispute between your Su family and Mi family is well known and is in full swing. Don’t you know at all?”
Su Daoshan blinked his eyes, his eyes stupid and clear.
"Forget it," Lin Yu continued drinking with a look of helplessness, "Anyway, the fight between your two families is turning upside down, and it probably has nothing to do with you, a stupid gentleman. I'm too lazy to say it. Otherwise, our Lin family and Mi family will be the same. If you have a grudge, deliberately provoke it.”
He stood up, poured the last glass of wine down his throat, shook his head and said: "After the county examination, there will be a big gathering held every three years in Yishan City. The court, the military, the city envoys of Xisai and Huoniu, and all the people in this county The heads of the sect are gathered together to discuss matters, and some people are holding on to the names of the six aristocratic families, fearing that they will have to be rearranged."
"I don't know if you owe me this wine, how many more times can I drink it."
With that said, Lin Yu sighed and left.
Su Daoshan sat there with a dull expression on his face, frowning, as if he still couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. It seems that these things are really taxing for him. Lin Yu, who walked to the door, looked back and couldn't help but laugh.
If you can’t think about it, then don’t think about it.
Under the glances of the surrounding students, Su Daoshan neatly ate the last bite of the dish and the last grain of rice without any waste, and then stood up.
Mijia? !
In the original memory, there was an attack and killing half a year ago, and a fire three months ago. There are shadows of the Mi family behind everyone, but it’s not just the Mi family.
There are also the Zhou family, the Yue family and the Wang family...
"The big guys in the family should be able to withstand it, right?" Su Daoshan thought to himself as he took a square step.
