Daily life in the academy

"If you are curious, you can buy it and read it in detail." Manager Liu smiled mysteriously.

This really piqued Bai Zhi's curiosity. She thought about what kind of novels she hadn't read, so she asked the shopkeeper Liu for the price, which was the same as the Mandarin version, so she bought them all.

Finally, Bai Zhi paid the money, wrapped the book in paper, hugged it to her chest, and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, has the book "Qiao Shusheng" I asked you about last time been restocked?"

"Got it, got it." Shopkeeper Liu pulled a book from the adjacent bookshelf and handed it to Bai Zhi: "Here, here."

Bai Zhi licked her cheeks and smiled, "Shopkeeper Liu, you see, I've done quite a bit of business here. I somehow lost the book I bought last time. Today I'm free... Can I take a look at this book in your shop?"

"It's a small matter. Just take care of our business, young master." Shopkeeper Liu smiled brightly and pointed behind the bookshelf, saying, "There are tables and chairs over there, as well as tea. You can look over there for a while."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu. Your business will surely prosper."

"Oh, the young master is sweet and good at talking."

"No, it's Shopkeeper Liu who knows how to do business."

I don't know if Baizhi hit the nail on the head, or if all the people who wanted to buy books and stationery gathered today, but the bookstore has not been idle this morning. In the past, Manager Liu could still take a break and take a nap, but this morning he even thought about whether he should hire a clerk.

Bai Zhi spent half an hour reading the ending of the handsome scholar. She thought that the scholar would abandon the pretty widow after passing the imperial examination, but she never expected that in the end he would overcome all difficulties and be willing to be a small local official to marry her and fulfill his original promise.

Such a perfect and faithful ending made Bai Zhi suspect that the author was a woman. It is natural for men to have a harem. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are also men with correct values ​​and pure natures, such as her three "good brothers."

As for the tradition, Bai Zhi only found out after getting to know them that Yan Qingchen and Mu Bailian had only one father, and although Wen Zhe had a young mother, according to the loudmouthed Mu Bailian, it was all an accident, and it was because the young mother had a child that Minister Wen had to promote her.

So...the so-called accident is very far-fetched. However, it is Wenzhe's family affair, so I won't say more about it.

Taking advantage of the break when Manager Liu was entertaining her, Bai Zhi returned the book and left the bookstore. She strolled around the West Market and bought some cakes and snacks. Seeing that it was almost noon, she simply had lunch. The sun at noon in early summer was already a little scorching, so in the spirit of enjoying life in the moment, she spent ten cents to hire a carriage to return to the academy.

In the next few days, nothing major happened. The students of Yunlu Academy received lectures from their teachers step by step. Faced with the homework left by their teachers, the good students dealt with it calmly, while the poor students prayed to the gods.

Bai Zhi is in the middle. She just muddles through her days, perfunctorily paying lip service to the teachers, and then hanging out with Mu Bailian. She lives a fulfilling life.

Another round of rest, four people in a row blocked the entire corridor, and no one dared to approach within three feet in front or behind, just like they had become the "Yunlu F4".

However, Bai Zhi, whether she was growing taller or something, was eating dried and candied fruits non-stop. Yan Qingchen looked down at her, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Azhi, have you grown taller and gained some weight recently?"

No woman can stand to hear the word "fat". Bai Zhi suddenly felt that the candied fruit in her mouth had lost its fragrance. She folded the remaining half bag with oil paper and put it into the small shoulder bag she was carrying.

Mu Bailian had laughed at a man carrying such a small backpack more than once, saying it was very effeminate. Over time, he was assimilated into the habit. Every now and then, when he bought some small gadgets, he would give them to Baizhi and ask her to pack them for him.

Bai Zhi pinched her face, feeling that she was just the right size, and retorted, "I'm only sixteen, this is just right."

"Well, Brother Yan is right. There is too much flesh on your face." Mu Bailian attacked suddenly and pinched Bai Zhi when she wasn't paying attention.

"Hiss—" Bai Zhi pinched his face with her backhand: "I'll let you pinch me."

The two of them pinched each other and walked sideways across the academy gate like crabs.

"Let go."

"If you don't let go, I won't let go."

"I'll count to one, two, three, and we'll both let go."

"it is good."

After Bai Zhi counted to three, the two men let go at the same time. Both of their faces were covered with red nail marks, which was enough to show that they had both been ruthless.

This funny look made Yan Qingchen and Wenzhe on the side laugh. Sometimes they felt that these two funny guys had the same personalities as cast in the same mold, just like real brothers.

"Bai Zhi." The clear female voice attracted everyone's attention.

Bai Zhi turned around and saw Chu Youyou. Why was she looking for her? She smiled politely and was about to ask the three of them to wait for her, but when she turned around, she saw the three people around her all looking at her with an expression that said, "Okay, when will you meet the girl behind their backs?"

Bai Zhi was confused: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Bailian: "There's a girl looking for you."

Wenzhe: "She's still a pretty girl."

Yan Qingchen: "Well, she has good manners, she is a lady from a noble family."

Bai Zhi was confused: "You are playing me, right? That is Chu Youyou, the daughter of the Minister of Rites!"

Putting aside Wenzhe, what about Yan Qingchen and Mu Bailian? They had met Chu Youyou before.

Mu Bailian looked at the sky and said, "The sky is so blue..." He couldn't make up any more stories. Elegant words really didn't suit him. He just gave up and said, "I was just fighting. Who would have time to look at her?"

Yan Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, acting like a master: "Who can see clearly with that stained face?"

Wenzhe waved his hand: "I don't know."

Chu Youyou, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, lost her patience and called out to Bai Zhi, saying, "Bai Zhi, I have something to tell you."

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded at her, then said to the three of them, "Wait for me," and walked towards Chu Youyou.

Yunlu Academy is not far from Sheng'an City, but it is also some distance away, so few girls come here. Now such a beautiful girl has come, and the other students can't help but glance at them. However, because of Yan Qingchen's presence, they dare not be too presumptuous.

Bai Zhi stood five steps away from Chu Youyou, smiling a little distantly: "Miss Chu, I wonder why you came to see me today?"

"We've been imprisoned together for a few days. We're close friends, after all." Chu Youyou was dissatisfied with her cold attitude. "Now that I've come to you in person, what does your attitude mean?"

It explodes at one point.

Bai Zhi forgot her arrogant personality and changed her strategy, softening her tone: "Then what do you want to see me about?"

"I had a fright a few days ago and have just recovered. I told my father about my experience those days. I am grateful for your kindness. My father asked me to invite you to his house as a guest to thank you."
