The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub
Chapter 156: Tomatoes
The issue of the girls' school was controversial for nearly half a month, but was finally officially decided.
It was just a matter of enrollment. Yu Guangji couldn't beat the others and could only select noble ladies with outstanding talents and learning, and there were only ten places available every year.
Firstly, since the girls' school had just been opened, the number of students enrolled was certainly not that large. If the number of admission places was smaller, it would not appear that the school was unable to recruit students, which would tarnish the reputation of Wenshan Academy.
Secondly, there are not many noble ladies of the right age.
When Yu Guangji talked about this with Yunli, he sighed repeatedly, "I have traveled around and met many young girls who, although from ordinary families, still have their own charm. This time I proposed this idea, firstly to prevent someone from attacking your identity in the future, and secondly, to give those young girls another choice. What a pity."
"Master, don't worry too much. The imperial court also has several girls' schools. As long as there is not too much suppression, the living environment of girls will gradually improve. Besides, think positively. There will be more and more students in Wenshan Academy Girls' School. When these noble ladies who have the ability to change the world grow up, there will always be a few who are willing to help the girls. Wouldn't your wish be passed down from generation to generation!"
Yunli massaged his shoulders and added with a smile, "Besides, I have your disciple here!"
Yu Guangji closed his eyes and smiled, "Yes, the road must be taken step by step. I worry too much. You, don't always focus on writing. You should practice riding and shooting more often. If there is a war in the future, your mediocre skills will make it difficult for you to even escape."
Yunli sighed, "Master, do you think I am willing to spend all day studying articles? Why don't you take care of those students? They come to me every few days to ask for advice on their lessons. How can I be someone who knows how to study? I can't bring shame to your reputation, so I can only study hard and try to understand those articles better than them."
Yu Guangji couldn't help laughing, "Slippery tongue. Don't I know you? You've already memorized all those lessons, but you probably think riding and shooting are too tiring? Well, I don't care about you. I asked someone to find a pair of brothers and sisters who are good at martial arts and put them in Kelai Peak. Take their indentures with you when you go back. If you want to travel again in the future, you must at least take them with you, and they can protect you, understand?"
How could Yunli be afraid of being tired?
But she was a person who had seen the world, whether it was poison or the top martial arts, they were all too powerful. No matter how good she was at riding and shooting, she could not compare to those third-rate masters in the martial arts world.
It would be better to concentrate on practicing other skills, such as hidden weapons and personal connections.
The competition in the academy was about writing, so she naturally had to be the best in writing so that others would admire her and obey her. As for riding and archery, it was enough for her to be the best among the students in the academy.
These cannot be told to Yu Guangji.
He is already 55 years old. In this era where the average life expectancy is only around 40, he is already a centenarian. It would be better to let him have fewer worries.
"Got it! I'll take them with me next time I go out!"
Yunli said casually.
She had said these words to deal with the old man at least a hundred times and was very familiar with them.
But where does she find the time to go out?
Recently, Xie Huarong and Lin Lehe have become the two people who have been pestering her. To be precise, it was Xie Huarong who pestered her, and Lin Lehe was just a companion.
"Brother Li, Brother Yan, this is fresh fruit sent by my family. I heard it came from the Southern Region. It's sour and sweet and delicious!"
Xie Huarong smiled and handed over the basket he was carrying. Yunli looked carefully and saw that it was tomatoes!
Eh?
Were tomatoes introduced so early?
Yunli was a little curious, so he first took one and handed it to Yan Mingzhi, then took one for himself and said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother, but two are enough for me, you can eat the rest yourself."
"There are many more sent, this basket is prepared for the two brothers!"
Xie Huarong stuffed the basket into Yunli's hands, then ran away with Lin Lehe.
“This fruit is quite delicious!”
Yan Mingzhi had no idea what politeness was. When Yunli looked over, the tomato in his hand had already been half eaten.
Yunli couldn't help laughing and handed over a handkerchief, "Wipe the juice from the corner of your mouth before you talk."
Yan Mingzhi stopped talking, took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, then started eating seriously again.
Eating is a big deal to him.
And although he ate very quickly, he was still elegant. Yunli watched for a while and actually felt a little greedy.
She took out another handkerchief and wiped the tomato in her hand carefully before she peeled it and took a bite.
It was juicy and had a strong tomato flavor, but compared to the ones in her space, it was less sweet and more sour.
You have to know that in this era, crops are all grown naturally without any chemical ingredients added. Carefully cared-for fruits and vegetables are only better in appearance, but the taste is definitely not top-notch.
The fruits and vegetables in the Yunli Space are all grafted hybrid varieties of later generations. They have abandoned the unwelcome part of the original taste and focused on developing in the direction of sweetness, which is why they are particularly delicious.
But the taste of this tomato is so familiar no matter how I eat it.
It tastes exactly like the tomatoes grown on her farm.
Yunli thought that the last time he went down the mountain, he did ask his caravan to send the fruits to Liang State or the Southern Region for sale. Could it be that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and the fruits were bought back?
interesting.
"With all the delicious food in front of you, you're actually thinking about your own problems! You're really wasting the taste!"
Yan Mingzhi wiped his mouth after eating and said to Yunli with great sorrow.
Yunli rolled her eyes at him and handed the basket over, interrupting his spellcasting in time. "Alright, alright, leave one for Yunfan, and the rest are yours."
Yan Mingzhi's anger turned into joy, and he happily took the basket, "Ali really knows my heart! But should we leave one for Shanzhang and Junming?"
"This is the thank-you gift from the Xie family. Since Xie Huarong gave it to us, he must have given Master and Liu Junming some too. Eat yours."
"Hehe, then I'll go find Brother Junming after I finish eating."
Yan Mingzhi smiled.
Yunli was stunned and burst out laughing.
She said, with Yan Mingzhi's intelligence, how could he not guess that Xie Huarong's gift would be given to everyone? It turned out that he wanted to eat Liu Junming's portion under the pretext of giving gifts!
This guy is really a complete foodie who doesn't take the integrity of the children of the aristocratic family seriously. Liu Junming is unlucky to meet him.
