Dean Xie smiled kindly and said, "Child, look at your clothes, your family is short of money!"

Qiao Xiaoxi said cheerfully: "No matter how poor you are, you can't let your children go poorly. Dean, I will pay for any expenses the academy has to pay for."

Dean Xie quickly shook his head.

"Tianyou is studying in the academy, young lady, don't worry, there is no expense."

Dean Xie looked at the five taels of silver on the table.

Looking at Qiao Xiaoxi, he smiled and said, "Young lady, can you write another song and earn the five taels to help the family?"

Dean Xie wanted to test Qiao Xiaoxi's poetry writing to see if it was the result of long-term accumulation or just a coincidence.

Qiao Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed.

The total prize was sixteen taels, and you took ten taels for yourself and then took the remaining five taels. That's not fair.

Qiao Xiaoxi laughed and said, "Thank you, Dean. The total reward is sixteen taels. I only earned fifteen taels. Isn't that bad?"

Dean Xie was happy to hear what Qiao Xiaoxi said.

The young lady is so confident! She is sure that she can write another one, and it will still be as beautiful as before.

Dean Xie laughed.

"Don't worry too much, young lady. This is a lucky draw. Those who are capable will take it."

All the scholars cheered together: "One more song, one more song."

The other gentlemen also urged: "One more song, one more song."

Whether they are scholars or gentlemen, they all want to see Qiao Xiaoxi's ability, whether it is just a coincidence or she is really talented.

Anyone who can write two good poems in succession is truly the most talented woman in the world.

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the five taels of silver.

Money is a good thing. When you earn money, all the little gadgets you want can be put into my basket.

Qiao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Since you are so kind, I will obey your orders!"

He looked up at the five taels of silver again.

"I'll recite another poem of our master. My apologies for the humiliation." Qiao Xiaoxi said cheerfully.

No one laughed this time.

Qiao Xiaoxi turned five times on the stage.

No one said much.

The whole peach orchard was silent, with only the petals quietly falling occasionally.

Qiao Xiaoxi raised her eyes and looked at Li Tianyou.

"Tianyou, are you ready?"

Li Tianyou nodded.

Qiao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "I wrote "Happy Rain on a Spring Night"."

This is a poem by Du Fu from the Tang Dynasty.

Qiao Xiaoxi prayed in her heart, Master Du, please make some money with your poems.

If Master Du is still in heaven, please don't be surprised.

Qiao Xiaoxi's sweet voice, like the gentle breeze, once again rang out in the peach garden.

"Good rain knows the season, when spring is here."

"Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently."

As soon as Qiao Xiaoxi finished reciting, a teacher put five taels of silver into Qiao Xiaoxi's basket.

Oh my god! I haven't even reviewed it yet and the money is mine.

Oh! Teacher Du, students have taken some time to send you some paper money to honor you.

Dean Xie exclaimed repeatedly: "Shanyang County is lucky to have such a woman."

Qiao Xiaoxi was startled and waved her hands repeatedly: "Thank you, Dean, for your compliment. I am not talented enough. Dean Xie is the blessing of Shanyang, the blessing of God, and the blessing of all students."

Dean Xie waved his hand and said, "I am old! The young are more formidable."

The gentlemen looked at the poem presented by Li Tianyou and praised it again and again?

"Dean, look, Tianyou is only eight years old, but his handwriting already shows his style. Li Tianyou is also a blessing for Shanyang."

Dean Xie stroked his beard and smiled, "It is a blessing for Shanyang Academy that Tianyou is admitted to the school!"

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Thank you, Dean. Tianyou is still young and has a long way to go. His future depends on fate."

"Yes, that's right, young lady, you are right, this kid is teachable."

Qiao Xiaoxi said goodbye to everyone.

Holding Tianyou's hand, he happily walked out of the academy gate.

When I arrived at the square, I didn't see Li Yanming.

Now that Qiao Xiaoxi has money on her, why would she stay here and make trouble?

All the delicious and fun things I saw when I came here are floating in my mind.

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou looked at Qiao Xiaoxi.

At the same time, he said: "Let's go eat something delicious first?"

Qiao Xiaoxi was happy. This child must have been her son in his previous life, right?

How come you can think of everything together?

Qiao Xiaoxi took Li Tianyou's arm and happily ran towards the snack stand.

The aroma of the shredded pork noodles that I smelled earlier wafted over again.

Qiao Xiaoxi pulled Li Tianyou and ran to the open-air stall selling shredded pork noodles.

He sat down at the table and looked at the fat chef who was cooking with a smile on his face.

"Boss, give me two bowls of shredded pork noodles."

The fat master turned his head and glanced at Qiao Xiaoxi and her son.

There was a barely perceptible hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Do you have any silver?" There was a hint of contempt in the fat master's voice.

After saying that, he turned around and continued cooking.

At another table, several people who were waiting for shredded pork noodles looked at Qiao Xiaoxi with mocking expressions.

Oh my god! Boss, do I look like someone who eats a free meal?

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled, took out five taels of silver and put them on the table.

"Boss, we have silver!" Qiao Xiaoxi said clearly.

When the fat master heard the noise, he turned around and saw the silver ingots.

He put down the wok and walked to Qiao Xiaoxi's table.

He stared at the silver, then at Qiao Xiaoxi.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly said in surprise: "It's okay for a pretty girl to be a beggar, but she won't be a thief, right? This silver, isn't it stolen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Qiao Xiaoxi.

Qiao Xiaoxi was depressed!

What does this mean in ancient times?

He took out the money and said it was stolen.

Sister, I've encountered a ghost!

Qiao Xiaoxi picked up the silver and said, "I'm afraid you won't pay for the meal, but if you do, they'll say it's stolen. It's really unlucky."

He stood up and pulled Li Tianyou: "Let's go eat somewhere else."

After saying that, he took Li Tianyou’s hand and was about to leave.

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the fat master with disdain, calling him shopkeeper was a compliment, the owner of this small noodle stall was at most a cook.

The fat master took a step forward and stood in front of Qiao Xiaoxi.

What does that mean? You can’t leave if you don’t eat!

Qiao Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at the burly and fat master.

In ancient times, with Li Tianyou, I became a civilized person and didn’t want to fight.

Qiao Xiaoxi didn't want to fight with this person, so she said with a smile: "Brother, what do you mean? I ate your noodles, asked if you had money, took out the money, and said it was stolen. Now you don't want to eat anymore, but you won't let me go! What do you mean?"

There were many people bustling on the street, and they slowly gathered together to see what was happening. More and more people gathered.

The fat master got excited and shouted to everyone at the top of his voice: "Everyone, come and see, this girl is here, with a boy, take five taels of silver and eat shredded pork noodles!"

Qiao Xiaoxi was confused!

Is five taels of silver a big amount?

Can people think you are a thief just because you eat two bowls of shredded pork noodles?

Qiao Xiaoxi looked ahead and saw more and more people gathering to watch the fun.

Some people stood on tiptoe, trying to pass the person in front of them.

Some people crossed their arms and looked as if it had nothing to do with them.

Others were whispering with those around them, speculating on how things would develop.

Children were running and playing among the crowd.

There were laughter and shouts, adding a bit of noise to the lively scene.

The elderly stood aside and watched quietly.

There are also people who like to join in the fun and are pushing forward.

Everyone's expressions were excited and eager, as if they were part of a grand performance.

Qiao Xiaoxi was not used to this scene.

Oh my god! It's a bit like watching monkeys in a zoo.

There was also a voice floating into Qiao Xiaoxi's ears:

"I really can't afford five taels of silver for this outfit!"

"This silver, it might be stolen."

"The girl is so pretty, steal the silver!"

Li Tianyou quit.

"Mother's money was not stolen. Mother won it by writing poetry."

Someone watching laughed and said, "Oh my! They are mother and son. I thought they were siblings!"

"Haha, this kid can lie, dress like this, and write poetry!"

"If you want to lie, you should find a good reason."...
