After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Before and after the dragon boat race, the sky was clear, but then a heavy rain came down, and Yingge had a good sleep that night.

The Dragon Boat Festival was also a very important festival in this dynasty, and the people here also took it very seriously. All colleges had a short holiday, and Yingge was no exception. They slept until they woke up naturally, and the air in the early morning was filled with the fresh smell of grass caused by the rain at night.

When Yingge saw the wet ground, she thought of the precarious little thatched cottage in Xiaolin Hall and wondered if it could withstand last night's heavy rain.

Thinking of this, she wanted to go and take a look. After all, this festival was a good opportunity to visit that gentleman.

Xiao Taohong saw that the water in the large vat in the yard was filled with worry, fearing that the Dragon Boat Race could not be held normally during the Dragon Boat Festival. She prayed for the Buddha's blessing and chanted the Diamond Sutra.

Yingge felt that Xiao Taohong was very cute today, and she felt playful for a moment. She quietly played with Xiao Taohong's braids behind her back.

"Master, Master, please stop playing. I had Sister Chunqiao braid my hair for me this morning with great difficulty. Look at these colorful hairbands. They are specially bought to ward off evil spirits. Please don't ruin them."

Girls in ancient times had few entertainment activities and were restricted by the times. They could only stay at home and spend their time eating, drinking, having fun, and applying makeup.

After Yingge, Xue and Xiao Taohong had a simple lunch, Yingge set off wearing a pair of waterproof clogs.

She was a little bit uneasy anyway. There were only two people in Xiaolin Hall, her and her husband. In name, she was half the owner.

Before leaving, Xiao Taohong shouted, "Master, you must remember to come back early. I will wait for you under the big tree by the canal where you played football last time to watch the dragon boat race together."

"Auntie, there are so many people racing the dragon boats today, why don't you go and sell some more vegetables and your fish?"

"No, I'm going to watch the dragon boat race."

"Aunt, I feel a little uncomfortable when you say that. What you mean is that my football game is not important. You didn't even go to watch it at that time. Then the dragon boat race is more important than my game!"

"Yes, it is!"

Oh, you say that. It makes me a little sad. Why don’t you give me another fish?

Yingge finally got what she wanted and went to Xiaolin Hall carrying a fish.

The young man was dressed in a green cloth, had red lips and white teeth, and a fresh face. He walked like a gust of wind.

"It's you, Zhou Zhilin."

"Zhou Zhilin looked back, confirmed that it was someone he didn't know, then turned around and continued walking forward."

Yingge saw that he didn't recognize her, so she made the same gesture she used when she climbed the mountain.

"Oh, you're the one who climbed over the wall to skip class."

"That's not called skipping class, that's called leaving school early."

"Oh, leave school early."

"Are you going to watch the dragon boat race so early?"

"No, I'm here to see you, Mr.

Yingge did not explain that the academic society they were talking about was not the same thing at all.

"Are you going to watch the dragon boat race? I'll give you a ride, it's raining now."

"No, I'm doing something!"

"Oh, I'll leave first."

Yingge took a step forward but then realized that she wanted to chat with him for a while longer, so she retracted her step.

"Well, I was at the football game yesterday. Did you watch it?"

After saying this, Yingge felt a little embarrassed. This feeling was a little subtle, as if she was waiting for his praise.

"I didn't go to see it, I was doing something!"

"Which academy are you from? Fengyun Club or Jifeng Club?"

"He's from Fengyun Society!"

"Well, I know that no matter which club you are from, you must have done well. I heard from others that yesterday's competition was very exciting!"

"Zhilin, wait a minute..."

"Zhilin, hurry up, what are you doing? Do you still have the consciousness of being someone else's slave?"

"Oh, okay, here I come."

Yingge saw two servants named Zhilin, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, wearing servants' clothes of the same color.

"Okay, I'm going to go do something."

"What are you doing as a slave? If you are someone's slave, you should behave like a slave, don't you understand?"

"Okay, I know."

"I'm leaving now. If you want to go to the academy, go quickly."

After that, the two people named Zhilin next to him winked at Zhou Zhilin. "Who is this? You are someone else's servant, so you can't always think about being lazy. You need to be more diligent."

As they talked with Zhilin, they walked to their bamboo cages and reached out their hands to casually fiddle with the cages containing the piglets.

"Okay, I understand, let's get started."

"I'm leaving now. I have to work with them."

Working and studying is not easy for young people.

A servant came and asked Zhilin, "Whose young master is this? Why are you so close to him?"

Although Yingge and her mother were boarding at the Liu Mansion, the monthly salary they received from the place where they lived together had increased a bit since she had talked to the master of the Liu Mansion.

The piglets may seem insignificant, and each one is not very heavy, but when there are several of them in a basket, the boy's back is so heavy that he can hardly stand up straight, and he walks unsteadily.

"Oh my, this smell is so bad. Why are we entering at this time? Really."

"Hey, when you eat them, why don't you say they stink? It's always like this."

"Hey, how are you walking? Can't you see anyone?"

When Yingge heard someone talking about her like this, and the rain had stopped, she just put away her umbrella.

"Hey, auntie, who are those three people carrying the piglets? Whose servants are they?"

"Which family? The Zhang family at the head of the river village, the butcher Zhang's family. The person wearing their servant's clothes must be their servant. The Zhang family is stingy."

"Zhilin is a servant of the Zhang family. How could he be a servant? Logically speaking, if he really is a servant, he should not be able to enter."

Yingge was a little puzzled. Although this place was not too feudal, there were still certain restrictions on slaves being able to study in the academy like the children of noble families.

Judging from Zhilin’s attire and connections, he doesn’t look like someone who can get in, which makes me curious.

Mr. Zhixing once told Yingge that prostitutes and prostitutes were despised by the world and were not allowed to join the academy in this dynasty. Yingge became curious about how Zhilin could join the academy.

He carried a basket of smelly piglets on his back, and didn't care much about the stains on his clothes. Even when people around him despised him, he didn't show any resentment, shame, or inferiority on his face. However, what he did was inconsistent with the expression he showed now.

Yingge himself behaved this way because he knew that he was not from this era and did not care much about their evaluations. However, it was very rare to meet a pure ancient person who could behave this way.

Yingge was not a person who would not solve problems. She quickly caught up with the boy in front of her. The sound of clogs clattering could be heard, but the boy in front was not affected at all and just kept moving forward with all his heart.

"Hey, wait for your turn, Zhilin."

It was not until Yingge's face appeared in front of Zhilin that he realized that someone had just called him.

"I was talking to you just now, and I haven't even finished what I was saying!"

"Well, what are you going to say?"

"I didn't hear you screaming just now, you can be louder."

The two servants nearby laughed and said, "Is this kid pretending to be some young master again?"

"Well, I called you to tell you my name."

"My name is Yingge. I'm leaving first."

"Well, hello Yingge."

"Hey, Yingge?"

"Yingge, is that Yingge?"

Zhilin asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with calling Yingge?"

"Don't you know? Is she famous?"

……

Well, some famous Yingge rushed all the way to Xiaolin Hall as usual. She looked around the thatched house and was very happy that although the thatched house was shabby, it had no tendency to fall down.

The furnishings inside are also intact.

But Mr. Zhixing was not there.

Yingge also knew that masters like Zhixing were usually elusive, and no one knew where he had gone. Yingge cleaned Xiaolin Hall, closed the door, and then went down the mountain.

The students of various schools went back to their homes for the holidays. Those who did not go home went out to watch the Dragon Boat Race. In a student dormitory, on a student's bed, under a quilt that had wrapped him like a cicada pupa, his feet would rub against each other from time to time, and he would mutter, "Roast chicken, roast duck, my good student has no humanity. He gave me a holiday just because he said so. It's so frustrating for me to be a teacher."

Although Yingge ran back as fast as he could, he still only saw the end of the dragon boat race.

The drums and gongs were beating loudly and the crowds were surging.

"Master Yingge, here, here."

Xiao Taohong finally saw Yingge coming and called her loudly.

"Is it still in time? It's good that it's still in time, but the good spots have been taken by others."

Chunqiao echoed from behind.

"Master, Sister Chunqiao has been watching to see if you are here."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's fine once it's here."

“It’s the same no matter where you look at it.”

"It's okay, I'll lift you up in a moment and you'll be able to see everything."

"Really, Master, can you refuse to move me?"

"Master, I'm not fat, so you might have a hard time."

"It's okay. How old are you?"

"Humph, you are a man. Xiao Taohong is still a girl even if she is younger. You know how to tease people after drinking flower wine once."

"That's considered teasing."

This was the first time that Yingge was accused of flirting with someone because she was a girl with a man's appearance. It turned out that this was what it meant to be accused of flirting.

As she gets older, she has to be more careful in the future, otherwise it will be bad to cause a lot of emotional debts.

"Master Yingge, Doctor Li invites you to go to Qingfeng Terrace to watch the mountain dragon boats."

Yingge looked at their own place, then raised her head to see the place Dr. Li asked them to go, and agreed decisively.

"Let's go together."

Xiao Taohong and Chunqiao were a little hesitant. Doctor Li had invited Young Master Yingge, and they were just maids. The servants waiting on the side also frowned.

It seems that the master of the house did not hire a maid for her. If she went there, it would be inappropriate.

"Throughout history, you have never seen a young master go out without a maid. Otherwise, what kind of young master would he be?"

However, no matter how reluctant these servants were, they still had to dutifully report the situation.

"Master Yingge, are we sure we want to go? Is it inappropriate?"

"You all should go. If you don't go, I'll be a little scared."

"You'd be scared, why am I so unconvinced?"

"Yes, I need you to accompany me."
