After hearing this, Qiong Yi felt inexplicably emotional, put the vegetables into a bowl and pounded them hard.
Lu Xu, who was at the next table, noticed it and sneered: "Yun Ling is more partial to his sister after all."
Yunling is Lu Yuhao's character.
The person who started the trouble was the eldest son of the family head's brother and Qiong Yi's second senior brother. His name was Lu Xu, and his reputation among his disciples was second only to Lu Yuhao.
Qiong also lowered his head to pick up the rice with chopsticks and ignored him.
Lu Yuhao paused and said with a smile: "Axu, don't stir up trouble. I treat every junior brother and sister equally."
Qiong also thought that her biological sister and junior sister must be different, and which one of the junior sisters she was. Just as she was lost in thought, Yang Suyong interrupted her thoughts with a few light words: "Now it's time for the five races to get together again. There will be a study gathering in Yichuan in a few days. I will send some disciples there. Lanshan, Xi Yan, you two should make preparations in advance." She took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Wow!"
"It's over!"
Such sighs came from under the table. Qiong Yi was startled and hurriedly defended: "Master's wife, I only participated in the society organized by my family last year? Why are you asking me..."
Last year, the half-year-long lectures, writing books every day, and studying hard every night were a shadow to her.
"Mom?——" Lu Lanshan called out dissatisfiedly in a long voice.
Yang Suyong put down her tea cup and rested her chin on her hands, "You two just smashed the generous gift from the Sheng family. The gift cannot be described as expensive. The head of the family was not here, so I suppressed the matter. Don’t dare to make it public, otherwise if word gets out it will really make people think that we look down on him, the Sheng family.”
Qiong Yi remained silent. She understood that Yang Suyong's punishment of participating in the school gathering was already considered generous. She had nothing to say, and she did not dare to say more.
On the other side, Lu Lanshan argued a few words.
"If you commit a crime, you should be punished. I'll teach you to remember it. Su is far away in Yichuan. I heard that this study session is different from the past. It lasts for a year. I hope you two can learn something well."
Qiong was also surprised: One year? !
"Don't think that going to the collective school is a punishment. If you can't get an A in the assessment, you can come back immediately and sweep fallen leaves in the back mountains for three years."
Qiong Yi's almond-shaped eyes were rounded with shock: Still want to get armor? ? !
These words hit her on the head like five thunderbolts. Qiong Yi was extremely reluctant but could only nod in response. Thinking of what happened today, her intestines were filled with regret.
After dinner, Qiong Yi and several of his disciples came out of the side room.
Junior brother Lu Li, who has a quick temper, had already snickered several times when he heard Mrs. Lu's lecture: "Fifth senior sister, you have something to do when you go out this time, are you happy?"
"Do you think I want to go?" Qiong Yi said with a slumped face: "If I didn't mention taking Jia, maybe I would still be a little..."
"The wife of the Su family in Yichuan is famous for being strict." A person walking by said, and another person continued: "That's okay. She has a naughty character and can't be disciplined at home, so let the teacher in the school teach her." She knows what etiquette is."
Qiong Yi looked back and saw the stinky face of Lu Xu. She suddenly became angry and strode over to give him a punch: "Pig head! You are so annoying!"
Lu Xu pulled up her braid: "Why am I bothering you?"
Qiong was too lazy to vent her anger with him, so she broke away and walked away quickly.

The next day.
All the disciples who were going to the Su Family School in Yichuan had already decided. Seeing that the junior brothers and sisters were all happy, some said they were going to pack their luggage, and some informed their families to prepare food. Qiong also climbed over the wall and left Yinyi Garden. , go find Zhu Yunluo.
Zhu Yunluo was embroidering clothes in her utility room that had been turned into a bedroom, when she saw Qiong Yi push the door open and come in. There was a loud "bang", which made her hands tremble in fright and she almost pricked her finger.
"Aluo!——" Qiong Yi called.
Zhu Yunluo asked quickly: "What happened?"
"Aluo, did you hear that I was sent to Yichuan to learn from him?"
"Oh, so that's what happened." Zhu Yunluo twirled the needle calmly: "Of course I heard about it." Seeing that Qiong Yi's expression was not happy, she smiled and said, "What, you don't want to go?"
"I have never left the Lu family since I was a child, let alone Taiyang City. Being able to go to Yichuan, actually... it's not that I don't want to." Qiong Yi sat down next to Zhu Yunluo: "But the study period lasts for more than a year! I have to spend this year away from home without being able to see you..."
Zhu Yunluo let go of her clothes, poked her forehead twice with her left finger, and laughed: "Little girl, of course you have to come back for the New Year, so just go and don't worry about me."
After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment: "Just remember to write to me."
Qiong Yi helped her tidy up the threads, and her voice stabilized: "Aluo, I asked my senior brother to help me investigate Guangyang's household records. I have read through tens of thousands of volumes, and there is no information about my life experience. This When I have the opportunity to go to Yichuan, I want to continue investigating."
Hearing this, the needle and thread in Zhu Yunluo's hand stopped.
Qiong is not her biological sister, but an abandoned baby rescued by her grandfather Chen Xun more than ten years ago.
He has no father or mother, and his life experience is unknown.
The two of them grew up together, and although their friendship with each other was not that of real sisters, it was better than that of real sisters.
Qiong Yi has been teased by others for being an unwanted orphan since she was a child. She has always hoped to find out her life experience. I had heard that the details of the local population in Guangyang were recorded in a register. I even went to various government offices and garrison offices under the control of the Lu family to check. I stayed in the dusty bookstores every day and night, but in the end I couldn't find any clues. Not turned over.
At that time, Qiong also comforted herself by thinking: Maybe I am not from Guangyang. If I have the opportunity to go to various places in China in the future, it will not be too late to investigate.
Now, going to Yichuan to study seems to be a good opportunity.
Zhu Yunluo lowered her head and smiled softly: "Okay, if we really find clues about your parents' life experience, I will be happy for you too."
Her voice changed: "However, if you want to investigate, just do it seriously and don't cause trouble over there. The Su family's academy is stricter than the Lu family's. I know this."
As soon as she heard this, Qiong Yi knew that she would say something like "take good care of yourself" next, and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I know."
Zhu Yunluo stood up and rummaged around in the house, saying, "You're going to the city to buy some new clothes in the next two days. Don't wear my old clothes. Take some money with you." After that, she tied up the clothes in her hands. A sturdy bag of silver was handed over.
Qiong also knew that this was the money she used to pay off her debts, so she refused to take it at any cost, and finally gave up when Zhu Yunluo forced it into her arms.
Qiong Yi held a cloth package that seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms, pursed her lips, and said firmly: "Aluo, when I leave the army and get rid of demons to earn money, we will leave the Lu family after paying off the debt and travel around the world. "
Zhu Yunluo smiled and lengthened her voice, and responded gently: "Okay."

A few days later.
morning. It's not completely dark yet.
There was a knock on the door, and then Lu Yuhao's voice sounded: "Xiao Wu, get up. It's time to get ready to go."
Qiong Yi turned over and was about to sit up, but heard another person say: "Your voice is so small, how can you wake her up? I'll do it!"
Lu Xu said and kicked the door open: "Lu Xiyan! Get up! Are you going to sleep like a pig?"
"..."
Qiong Yi's head was buzzing. He grabbed the pillow and threw it at Lu Xu, who was shouting loudly at the door: "Lu Xu! Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"
Lu Xu caught the thrown pillow with one hand, walked into the room, and lifted Qiong Yi, who was sitting on the bed, with the other hand. Qiong Yi was lifted up by him and fluttered around, shouting: "Lu Xu! What are you doing! Put me down! Hurry up. !”
"That's a nice thought." Lu Xu ignored her.
Qiong Yi turned to look at Lu Yuhao: "Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother, he bullied me!"
Lu Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "What should I do if he bullies you? I'll wait until I can beat him."
Hearing what he said, Qiong Yi raised her fist and punched Lu Xu, but he caught it with her palm. The wind in her fist contained real energy, which made Lu Xu loosen her grip for a moment.
"I'm going to Yichuan to study with my juniors and sisters in the afternoon, and we're still making a lot of noise." Lu Xu rubbed his palms with an impatient look on his face.
This time, the Lu family sent a total of sixteen disciples from the inner and outer sects to Yichuan to study, and more than half of them were Qiong Yi's junior brothers and sisters.
"It's only a quarter of the hour now, there are still more than three hours!" Qiong Yi measured the time and counterattacked.
"If I don't wake you up now, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep right away!" Lu Xu said, pointing to the dressing room not far away: "Go and wash up quickly!"
Qiong Yi adjusted his collar: "Aren't you going?"
"I'm not going." Lu Xu crossed his arms and said.
"That's great!"
Qiong Yi smiled, quickly entered the room, and closed the door with a bang. Lu Xu was stunned: "Lu Xiyan! You!"
Lu Yuhao on the side couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahahahaha."
With a dark face, Lu Xu asked Lu Yuhao: "Yunling, does she hate me so much?"
Lu Yuhao stopped laughing: "Ahem, I guess so."
Lu Xu turned away and snorted coldly: "Ha."
"I'm kidding you, don't lose your temper." Lu Yuhao patted Lu Xu on the shoulder, and the two of them walked outside Yinyi Garden.

Yichuan is a region belonging to the Su family. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River has a unique charm with many streams and rivers. The Su family's mansion is located in the south of Yichuan, and its name is Yize.
The place of study this time is in a small town in Yize, called Qingfeng Town.
After nearly ten days of trekking, the disciples of the Lu family finally arrived at the academy in the town and began to make arrangements for their daily lives. However, when assigning rooms, Qiong Yi and Lu Lanshan happened to be assigned to the same place. The two looked at each other and said nothing to each other. Qiong Yi watched Lu Lanshan enter the room and closed the door tightly. He didn't bother to talk to her and just said After leaving the house, I wanted to go to the town to have some fun.
"Senior sister, where do you want to hang out?"
Before her front feet stepped out of the threshold, she heard someone calling her from behind. Qiong Yi turned around with a guilty conscience and saw Lu Li with a smile on his face. He said, "Seventh Junior Brother, this is the first time I came to Qingfeng Town. I just want to take a look at Yi." How is the scenery in Sichuan different from that in Guangyang?"
Lu Li's eyes lit up: "Senior sister, why don't you take me with you?"
Qiong also smiled and replied: "Okay!" Then she stepped out of the door with both feet and said, "Let's go."
The two walked for a long time before reaching a wider street. There were some stalls in twos and threes on the street, and there were not many people. The streets follow the river, connected by small bridges on the river. A few weeping willow trees on the bridge bank are swaying in the wind. Unfortunately, it is autumn, and the wind blows the willow branches and rolls down the remaining leaves, which is not aesthetically pleasing.
"The college is really remote."
Qiong Yi hummed in agreement, looked around and then looked at several small boats in the river: "Xiao Qi, whose family are the children on the boats over there?"
Lu Li turned his head and looked: "Where?" Following the direction Qiong Yi pointed, he saw several people in blue robes walking off the boat, and replied: "Sister, those are people from the Sheng family. .”
"From the Sheng family?" Qiong Yi said, her eyes swept across the group of people, and finally stopped on the leading young man. She couldn't blame her for staring at others for a long time, because the young man was too eye-catching: The same cyan-colored school uniform worn by the Sheng family looked particularly good on him. Looking from a distance, his profile was like jade, his black eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his appearance was far from handsome.
"Senior sister, are you looking at Sheng Hao?" Lu Li asked with a wink.
"Which one? That one? Is that Sheng Hao?" Qiong Yi pointed at that person and asked again: "Is it the third son of the Sheng family, Sheng Xuanyuan?"
Lu Li nodded.
Qiong also waved his hand to deny: "What are you looking at?" and then walked forward.
What was Lu Li still thinking about: "The Sheng family is located in Luoyao, not close to Yichuan. Since they are all here, there should be at least a few big families who have not arrived yet. Except for the Xie family, which is far away in Shajiang, I don't know. When can you come?"
