After a class, the students dispersed to eat and take a nap. The thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain was particularly quiet in the afternoon.

Su Qinghe had just turned to a corner of the study when a voice interrupted him.

"You guessed my stone." The girl's voice was shrill and loud.

Su Qinghe was startled by surprise and quickly moved his body to look down. It turned out that there were a few stones under his feet and a white and tender little hand next to it.

"Xiao Taohong." Su Qinghe didn't know where this little girl came from.

"Is Yingge taking a nap? Why are you playing here? You should take care of the house."

Xiao Taohong said, "Master, you're not asleep yet." Then she ran to a rock on a high ground nearby and squatted down to look at him.

Su Qinghe shook his head and continued walking forward without paying any attention. When he reached the thatched cottage, the door of the cottage opened with a snap. Ye Muyang said with a smile: "Qinghe, you are here, come in quickly."

Su Qinghe saw the four young men sitting in the thatched cottage and asked, "You...what are you doing here?"

Su Qinghe walked in and glanced at everyone.

When Ye Muyang heard him ask this, he quickly picked up the book in his hand and responded, "We are reading." When the other teenagers heard him say this, they also picked up their books.

"Yes, we are reading."

Su Qinghe looked at Yingge with an expression that clearly showed disbelief.

Yingge was sitting behind the desk, still holding a pen in her hand. When she saw him looking at her, she responded, "Yeah, I'm writing."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone outside the door said, "You picked up my stones and almost stepped on my hand." Then Su Qingyu's voice was heard outside the door. "Stones are everywhere. You won't break them. It's okay. Don't make a noise."

Su Qinghe looked at the people in front of him and said, "Should I also take a book and tell him that I'm reading a book?"

The doors and windows of the cottage were wide open, and a breeze blew in.

Su Qingyu was lying on the mat as usual. Although she was not sleeping, she was yawning.

Su Qinghe looked at them and said, "You were the one who asked the question quickly, right?" Then he looked at Ye Muyang and Zhao Yingde, "And you were the ones who took the lead in shouting, right!" Then he looked at the people next to him, "You were the ones who said you could testify for Zhu Nian, right? At first I thought you were just joining in the fun, but I didn't expect you weren't just there to watch the fun."

Ye Muyang refused to admit it and said, "We just joined in the fun. Didn't you see that everyone was shouting? It's just that my voice was louder and I shouted faster."

Zhao Yingde said, "Okay, we admit that we came here not only to study, but also to join in the fun, but this fun is just too great."

After today, Mr. Zichun made it clear that all students should stop discussing Zhu Nian's affairs to avoid causing trouble. However, how could the students who had already discussed it hold back? It was normal for people to gather together to discuss things.

Su Qinghe said, "Okay, I believe what you said. So this is what they think. What about you, Yingge?" She looked at Yingge who was listening to them.

Ye Muyang quickly interrupted and said, "We are all the same, there is nothing wrong."

Yingge smiled and said, "We don't have any other intentions, we just want to help our classmates."

Su Qinghe frowned and asked, "So the excitement in the academy during this period was caused by you guys?"

Ye Muyang said, "Don't talk nonsense, we are not inciting anything..."

Yingge took over his words and said, "Zhu Nian is our classmate. We just want to do our best. Because of what happened to him, the students in our class don't dare to come to class."

Ye Muyangye nodded and said, "Yes, we just found out some things about them and then told our classmates to let everyone know that Zhu Nian is not an assassin. There is nothing else. Isn't this considered incitement? These things can be found out once they are investigated. Even if I go to the teacher, I can still tell him directly."

When the other young people heard him say this, they nodded in agreement.

Su Qinghe smiled and said, "Okay, I was wrong, don't worry." After that, he sat down and said, "I am quite interested in this excitement, otherwise you can tell me too, I will see if I want to join in."

Ye Muyang looked up at Yingge, and Yingge said, "It's pretty good now. The gentlemen all know about it, and they promised to ask us when we return to the government office. The only thing left is Zhu Nian's testimony for the inquiry."

A young man said, "We can also testify."

Yingge nodded and said, "Yes, we can do it too. Now all we have to do is wait for news. Let's tell Zhu Nian's father with our classmates to comfort him. It's getting late and we have classes soon. Let's go home early."

Ye Muyang and others responded yes, stood up and left.

A young man saw that Su Qinghe didn't get up and asked, "Brother Qinghe, aren't you leaving?"

"Well, I'm taking a day off today. I'll have the family carriage come pick me up later."

Ye Muyang and the others left without saying anything else.

Su Qingyu lay on the mat, closed her eyes and said, "I can finally sleep. Call me when the bus comes." After she finished speaking, her voice gradually faded.

Yingge asked, "Would you like some tea?" A pot of tea was brewing not far away from her.

Su Qinghe walked over and saw that the kettle was boiling. He poured a cup of tea for himself and Yingge. Yingge continued to write with her head down. The thatched cottage was quiet and peaceful.

After a while, Su Qinghe poured tea for Yingge. Yingge thanked him and put down her pen.

"I remember what you said last time." Su Qinghe said after drinking two cups of tea.

"What?"

"When you went to Yi Garden, I said I thought you weren't going back that time. Now I get a little scared when I see you doing things."

It seemed to be the case. Yingge smiled and said, "You still remember it?"

"I usually remember what you said..." Why does it feel a bit strange to say this? "You didn't say much."

He added, "What else did you say?"

"Why are you so scared? I'm still in school!"

Su Qinghe glanced at her without saying anything, nor did he reply. Instead, he asked, "What if we ask the teachers in the academy to ask about Zhu Nian's matter, and we don't get any good news?"

Yingge finished the cup of tea she had just poured and said, "I will not be afraid of the difficulties in life or the dangers in officialdom. I will do my best to seek justice for him." After saying that, she placed the teacup on the table with a clatter.

He had not responded to her indirect questions before, but now he answered very straightforwardly. Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment. The young man in front of him had a fair face, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a rare hint of sharpness in his eyebrows and eyes, like a green bamboo in the forest, elegant on the outside, but with leaves as sharp as knives on the inside.

Su Qinghe was silent again. He was a fierce man. From the first time he saw Chun Yutang, he could compose a poem in three steps. In fact, he didn't move, but when he moved, he was aggressive.

"why?"

Yingge said, "It's just because the world is unfair."

Su Qinghe said, "There are so many injustices in the world, do you want to control them all?"

"Take care of the present first, then talk about the world." He looked like a young man with great ambitions.

So it is the nature of young people...

Su Qinghe laughed and said, "You, don't mess around."

Yingge said, "Of course I won't do anything rash. I'll just use courtesy first and force later. Master Qinghe, don't worry."

Su Qinghe rubbed the rim of the cup with his hand and said, "You have always been meticulous in doing things. Now that you have thought it through, then what happened in Chun Yutang... was indeed fierce."

As soon as she entered the room, she faced Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe. She was able to compose a poem in just three steps, which was enough to make her famous in one battle.

The people who came that day were either scholars or people from powerful families. Her amazing talent left a deep impression on them. She probably was no longer the country boy who was laughed at by everyone.

She is thoughtful, talented at a young age, and knows how to advance and retreat. The adults and elders of each family have a good influence on Yingge, and then each family influences the younger generations in the family. Those people will definitely stand on her side. Just look at the attitude of the people in the academy towards her now.

Su Qinghe looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly remembered the time they played polo.

“I’ll just watch it three times.”

"After three times I will be like you."

This is the third thing after playing polo and writing poetry. There is no need to know how many more things will happen in the future and what this young man will be like in the future.

Su Qinghe clapped his hands and said, "That's it."

Su Qingyu was startled awake by his voice and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is the car coming?"

Su Qinghe smiled and said, "I'm here." He stood up and said goodbye. Su Qingyu also stood up and waved to Yingge and walked out. Yingge stood up and said goodbye to him. She was lost in thought. The bell for the end of get out of class rang on the mountain. She sighed and raised her hand to call Xiao Taohong.

Little Taohong jumped and said, "Master, are you going to take a nap?" I will take good care of the house.

Yingge smiled and walked towards the bedroom, but suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Taohong, I have a piece of advice for you."

Xiao Taohong was a little confused. She tilted her head and looked at her and asked, "What?"

"Don't eat anything given to you by others in the future."

Xiao Taohong was shocked. "If you don't eat delicious food, what fun will you have in the future? Master, do you dislike me for eating too much?"
