Dominate the ancient academy

However, although there was no meat on normal days, Huo Feng and his friends would go back hunting every few days to supplement their meat diet. At this time, Senior Brother Yun would ask her to bring some back and share it with her classmates, so they were very satisfied.

After Lu Leran discovered that they were having a special meal, other people also gradually discovered something. Now that she brought the food, even Shen Guanqing and a few others from the liberal arts department came to join in the fun.

Because of these foods, the atmosphere in both the liberal arts class and the martial arts class became much more harmonious. The main reason was that going to school was really too tiring. Every day, the time when their stomachs were rumbling was more punctual than the bell of the academy. Everyone relied on the meat that Shu Xiaoxiao brought occasionally to survive.

Although everyone was envious of Ye Xiao's treatment of having a meal at the Lord's house of Marquis Dingbei, they were also convinced. After all, not everyone had the ability to hook up with the Lord's house of Marquis Dingbei, and being valued by the Lord's house of Marquis Dingbei was also Ye Xiao's ability.

As for why they did not dare to try, it was not that there were people who had tried to court the prince of Dingbei before. Returning in vain was not a big deal, but what they feared most was being criticized by the Master, and then having to copy the Analects a hundred times would be terrible.

Before, a student found out that Ye Xiao could go to the Prince of Dingbei to have dinner. He felt that the Prince of Dingbei was approachable, and since they were all students of Yuren Academy, he was no worse than Ye Xiao. What Ye Xiao could do, he could also do, and even do better. So he went directly to visit the Prince of Dingbei.

Huo Feng, the receptionist, was dumbfounded. What the hell is going on? With this IQ, why is he still studying? Master Ye can farm, can always make the prince laugh, can get along with them, can do so much, and here comes someone who wants to compete with Master Ye.

Huo Feng did not even go to inform the prince, but directly took the student to find the dean. As a result, he was not only criticized by the teacher and punished to copy the "Analects of Confucius" a hundred times, but also laughed at by his classmates. This also calmed down those restless students in the academy.

It is also because of this that other people no longer think about gaining the favor of the Prince of Dingbei like Ye Xiao. After all, the result of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice is somewhat tragic. This student has flaws in his character, and his future career will be more difficult than others, unless he really has unparalleled talent. But looking at what he has done, it is hopeless for him to have unparalleled talent.

With Yun Qinghan's invisible protection, Shu Xiaoxiao felt like a fish in water in the academy.

"It's almost time for a day off. Where are you going to go?"

Yun Qinghan asked. He knew that this little guy lived far away from the academy and couldn't get home during the three days of vacation, let alone a round trip. Since this little guy was quite likable, he didn't mind taking him in for a few days.

"I followed my third brother to the general's residence. He said my aunt missed me."

It was fine before school started, but now if she didn't go back with her third brother, she was worried that her mother would find the academy. The account of her previous visit to the academy without prior approval was still there, so she had to think of a way to appease her mother.

"I forgot you were the nephew of the General's wife."

Yun Qinghan felt a little sorry, he was originally planning to take Ye Xiao to Dingbei Marquis Mansion? But since her aunt was here, he couldn't interfere.

After thinking for a while, he took out a jade pendant and said, "If you are not happy staying in the General's Mansion, take this jade pendant to Dingbei Marquis Mansion and someone will arrange a place for you to live."

It was rare for him to meet a junior fellow apprentice who was to his liking, and he would be reluctant if he was bullied in an unknown place.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the smooth and translucent jade pendant in her hand and felt quite moved. She knew that the General's Mansion was her home, but others didn't know. Was Senior Brother Ye worried that she would be bullied while living under someone else's roof?

"Brother, don't worry. My aunt loves me very much. No one will bully me. But thank you for the jade pendant. I will go to Dingbei Marquis Mansion to play with you."

"Just don't let others bully you. I'm busy. I don't have time to receive you."

He had also heard about the general's wife's character. She was gentle and generous. It was said that because her youngest daughter was weak and was recuperating in Qinglian Village, the general's wife often went to Qinglian Village. Judging from Ye Xiao's expression, the relationship between the aunt and nephew should be good, so he felt relieved.

After all, there are many cases of servants bullying their masters in many mansions. However, the interpersonal relationships in the general's mansion are simple, there are no concubines, and the general's wife is there, so Ye Xiao will not feel wronged if he goes there.

"I don't need your reception. I'll come and play with you when I have time."

She had eaten so much of Brother Ye's food, so she had to show some appreciation when she came down the mountain, otherwise she would feel embarrassed to come and eat with him in the future.

All the students were visibly restless on the day of rest, just like the modern students who have to celebrate a weekday. The teacher did not give any lectures, but asked everyone to practice calligraphy. Under the teacher's supervision, everyone managed to practice a few pieces of calligraphy.

Some of the handwriting was so sloppy that the teacher simply ignored it. It was normal for them to be restless now. He let them go for now and would make up for it when the time came.

Some people live quite far from home and can live in the dormitory. They just need to report to the abbot so that they can know when the canteen is cooking.

Until the bell rang for the end of school, the students rushed out one after another, yelling and shouting. No one complained that the stairs were too long, and they all ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath.

There were rows of carriages at the foot of the mountain. Shu Tingfei pulled his sister to find their own carriage, and Yun Zhen and Qing Yu followed behind.

Shu Xiaoxiao was sitting in the carriage and heard someone outside shouting: Go back and put all the fish and meat on the table immediately, young master, I must eat my fill.

It seems that even in different times and spaces, and different academies, the mood of students going to school and on vacation has been the same from ancient times to the present, and the mood of going home for a big meal is also the same.

Sitting in the carriage and entering Kyoto, Shu Xiaoxiao remembered that she had forgotten to prepare a gift. Now she was considered her mother's nephew, and her sister-in-law and nephew were still at home. It would be too unreasonable to go there empty-handed. Others would think she was a pauper who was begging for money.

There is no time to choose carefully now: "Third brother, where do mother and sister-in-law usually buy jewelry?"

"In Linglong Pavilion, all the ladies in Kyoto like to go to Linglong Pavilion."

"Well, let's go to Linglong Pavilion."

Although Linglong Pavilion is not big, it is very gorgeously decorated. There are two waiters wearing dark blue shorts standing inside. It seems that this work uniform has existed in ancient times.

The jewellery displayed in the store is even more dazzling, including hairpins, gold hairpins, beads, necklaces, longevity locks, garlands, rosaries, etc., which are richer than those in modern museums.

Although Daning does not have such strict restrictions on women, he is now considered a foreign man, so it is not easy to buy any personal accessories for his two sisters-in-law. He mainly buys for his mother, brother and nephew.

As the saying goes: If you read 300 Tang poems, you will be able to recite them even if you can't compose poems. She didn't know much about jewelry before, but the jewelry that her general father and mother sent to Qinglian Village were all top-notch. Shu Xiaoxiao has seen a lot of them and can now tell the good from the bad.

But beautiful jewelry is also very expensive. The one I chose for my mother is a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies. The crystal clear rubies blend perfectly with the hairpin, which looks gentle and elegant, just right for my mother. It is worth fifteen hundred taels of silver and is considered the treasure of Linglong Pavilion.
