Chapter 52: The Canteen

An Rong sneered, "You still know me best, I scolded the fifth sister last time, she was angry in her heart, you also saw the second sister, the third sister is surrounding her, she will definitely not help me, I have to hide." ”

Shen Anxi smiled, "It's a pity that the eldest sister is in a bad mood, it's been a few days, and I'm still stuffy in the house, otherwise you can ask the eldest sister to help you, in fact, I can also ......." ”

An Rong waved his hand and chuckled, "I'm tired, how sad your poems are, I can't get used to reading them, if you want to pop out of my mouth such verses, they will recognize them at a glance." ”

An Rong is afraid of them, she remembers the poems they made in her previous life, and she doesn't know who counts whom.

I went to Dongli Garden to pick out clothes, and then went back separately.

An Rong was playing with the snow ball, and then went to see Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu, her eyes were full of hesitation, should she urge Mrs. Zhou?

He's a great Confucian in the world, so it's not easy to speak, right?

After hesitating for a long time, An Rong still left with the snow ball, what if he angered Mrs. Zhou, what if he really didn't give it.

Before he turned around, there was a sound of popping in the corridor, and Peony came up and said, "Girl, inquire clearly, the reason why the eldest girl of the Gu family did not come to the appointment was because she was punished and grounded, and it would take half a month to come out. ”

An Rong twisted her eyebrows, her eyes puzzled, "Why was she punished and grounded?" ”

Peony looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Listening to the people of the Gu Mansion, the eldest girl of the Gu family seems to be a little crazy, she actually wants to punish the nine clans." ”

After speaking, he paused and said, "And the marriage contract between the Xiao Guogong Mansion and the Gu Mansion seems to have been dissolved." ”

An Rong was stunned when he heard this, "Why do you want to break the marriage contract?" ”

Peony blinked, the girl said this so strangely, she was crazy and didn't accept the marriage contract and marry and go home to raise it, "It was also a verbal marriage contract before, and it was not officially decided, and it was nothing if it was dissolved." ”

An Rong is getting more and more incomprehensible, how could Qingyan say the words of the Nine Clans of the Nine Clans, she is so gentle, she once said that one person does things and one person is responsible, and the disaster is not good for the relatives, how can she open her mouth to punish the Nine Clans?

It must have been slandered by her stepmother and sister-in-law.

It's just that Qingyan was grounded, and if she wanted to see her, she could only be half a month later.

Two days flew by.

On this day, An Rong got up very early, and after changing into men's clothes, he looked left and right in the mirror, feeling that he was suave.

There was also a small servant standing beside her, dressed as a peony.

Qiu Ju and Dongmei looked at Peony's smiling appearance and said with a smile, "Follow the four girls for a while, but don't smirk, you can recognize it as a maid at a glance." ”

Peony shrugged her nose and didn't smile, "I'm just following Sister Xia He, and I don't talk to others, who will find out that I'm a maid, I think it's better for you to wear a skirt and a veil, girl, so you can still say a few words." ”

An Rong looked back at her, "If you say a word, you will sweep the fallen leaves of the day when you turn around." ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei covered their mouths and smiled, at this time they didn't envy Peony for being able to go out with them, they could still go out shopping.

An Rong took the peony two to Songhe Courtyard, and when the old lady saw An Rong come in, it took a long time to react, this was her granddaughter, and she couldn't help laughing, "I can't recognize it." ”

Mother Sun also smiled, "I see that it is really similar to the prince of the world." ”

An Rong saluted obediently, and when he saw that Shen Anxi didn't come, he said, "The sixth sister is really grinding, she hasn't come yet?" ”

"Who said I didn't come, I arrived early," a voice came from the warm pavilion, like a warbler crying in the hollow valley.

An Rong glanced over, and saw Shen Anxi stepping out, dressed in sky blue, embroidered with auspicious clouds, really like Song Yu, and better than Pan An.

"So handsome!" An Rong praised, "When did you arrive?" ”

Shen Anxi blushed and glared at An Rong, "I just knew why my eldest brother didn't wear this dress, it turned out that the sleeve was a little broken, and I just asked my sister to help me embroider a plum blossom, you see." ”

There is indeed a white plum on the sleeve.

An Rong hurriedly apologized, checked his clothes again, and found nothing torn, so he pulled Shen Anxi to salute the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my sixth sister and I still have to go to get gifts, so let's go first." ”

The old lady nodded and told Xia He to take good care of her and not to be bribed by An Rong.

Along the way, An Rong and Shen Anxi talked and laughed, and many maids and women knew that the old lady allowed the fourth girl and the sixth girl to wear men's clothes to go to Guilongshan to find the prince and give him a birthday gift.

got into the carriage and went straight to the Li family's iron shop.

Originally, An Rong didn't plan to get out of the car, but the shop guy recognized her carriage and greeted her respectfully, even leaving the guests aside.

This guest is none other than the Hou Shizi of Jingbei.

Suddenly, the young man asked him to wait, saying that the owner had arrived, and he wanted to see who the owner was!

Walking over, just in time to see An Rong lift the curtain, Jingbei Hou Shizi was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered who this familiar person was, and laughed at the bottom of his eyes.

Don't blame him for laughing, anyone who sees a noble son dressed as a man with a pandan embroidered handkerchief in his hand will laugh.

laughed a little presumptuously, which alarmed An Rong, An Rong saw that it was him, and immediately lost his good face, "What's so funny, I'm not afraid of laughing." ”

As he spoke, he threw away the embroidered handkerchief in his hand.

The smile on the corner of Lian Xuan's mouth stopped abruptly, and his face was black as if someone had splashed ink.

The young man was a little amazed, the girl of the new owner was a girl from the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and he knew that this young master had just reported to his family that he was the prince of Jingbei Hou, and the owner actually talked to him like this, it was amazing!

An Rong got out of the carriage, ignored Lian Xuan, and asked the young man, "Is my customized dagger ready?" ”

The young man was very embarrassed, glanced at Lian Xuan, and his eyes fell on his hand.

Lian Xuan was holding a dagger in his hand, which was very familiar.

It's one of the seven she's custom-made.

Lian Xuan's attitude was very hard, he was going to settle on this dagger, An Rong didn't want to argue with him, "This is my gift to my eldest brother, can't you wait for a new one?" ”

Lian Xuan was very envious of Shen Anbei, this sister was too good to him, she even gave seven daggers that sharpened iron like clay and were full of luxury, one is enough, okay!

"Isn't it okay to send six?" Lian Xuan asked.

He didn't think there was much difference between six and seven.

An Rong shook his head resolutely, "No, if you want it, go back to my eldest brother and ask for it." ”

Lian Xuan faked a cough, he really couldn't do anything to grab other people's gifts, so he had to give it to the young man and told him, "Be sure to make me a similar one, with the words engraved on it." ”

The young man took the dagger, went back and laid it down, then packed it and handed it to the peony.

Lian Xuan's eyes kept staring at the burden and didn't move, An Rong looked funny, and whispered two words to the young man.

The young man nodded.

After An Rong left, Lian Xuan was about to leave, but was stopped by the young man, "The fourth girl has something for you." ”

Lian Xuan was confused, and then he was overjoyed, and followed the young man to the backyard, but someone handed him a piece of paper.

Half of the blood was cold.

Looking at it again, it was half a strand, and Lian Xuan's eyes didn't pop out, "For me?" ”

The old shopkeeper nodded again and again, Lian Xuan was a little hesitant, could it be that there is still someone in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an who wants to be promoted?

One and a half shares have risen three poles, and half of the shares are just one level.

As a result, I listened to the old shopkeeper, "With the prince of the world as the backer of the Li family's iron shop, the old man will be at ease." ”

Lian Xuan smiled, it turned out to be a backer, with Prince Rui's Mansion as a backer, it doesn't matter if he wants him or not, "If someone finds fault in the future, they will report my name." ”

An Rong got into the carriage, and the brocade box was placed on the small table, Shen Anxi opened it and glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed, "What a delicate dagger!" ”

The three daggers given to Prince Rui before were five hundred taels of silver, and these seven were one thousand taels, and the style was somewhat different from the one given to Prince Rui.

An Rong knew that his brother had several good brothers with good family backgrounds, and these people would be assistants in the eldest brother's career in the future, so he would give them exactly the same dagger so that their feelings would be deeper.

Guilongshan was far away, and it took a whole hour to arrive after jolting on the carriage.

The carriage stopped a hundred meters away, standing on the wheel, looking at the door number, the four dragons and phoenixes of Qiongshan Academy danced, vigorous and powerful.

This is the word inscribed by Emperor Taizu himself, as well as the couplet:

Wenyun is open, and Kuibi Lianhui is prosperous

Changming Holy Sect, Ji Heng rejuvenated the clouds

This is just the first gate of Qiongshan Academy.

An Rong and Shen Anxi got out of the carriage and stepped forward.

There were five small servants behind him, and the posture was a little scary, but he couldn't scare the scholar who was guarding the door of Qiongshan Academy, and said respectfully, "I don't know if the two young masters are here?" ”

An Rong smiled like a spring breeze, "Today is my brother's birthday, I'm here to give him a gift, can the little brother spread the word?" ”

The scholar smiled, "This is okay, I don't know who to find?" ”

"Shen Anbei," An Rong replied.

The scholar asked An Rong to wait for a while, but a voice came from behind him, with a chuckle, "It should be his younger brother who specially gave Anbei a birthday gift, I'll take them in." ”

An Rong turned around and saw two young men dressed identically, about seventeen years old, handsome, mild-mannered, and elegant.

The two invited An Rong in, and Shen Anxi tugged at An Rong's sleeve and shook his head at her.

An Rong couldn't ask for it, so it was just right to take them in, so as not to persuade the eldest brother for a while, "Go in, don't waste the good intentions of the two eldest brothers." ”

After speaking, thank the two of them.

The two smiled, talked to An Rong very politely, and asked An Rong and Shen Anxi to go first.

As for the little guy, only two are allowed to enter, of course, Peony and Xia He.

In fact, there are many places in the college where you can go, but there are some places where no one is allowed to go, such as the place where classes are taught, and you should keep absolutely quiet.

Qiongshan Academy is very strict, so strict that even if your father only has his last breath left to see you, and when he meets his husband to teach, he has to listen to him before he is allowed to take a leave of absence.

An Rong was very curious about the academy and asked a lot, and both teenagers answered happily.

One is called Liu Bai, and the other is Zhao Sheng.

is a classmate with Shen Anbei, and lives next door to him, and often discusses articles together, and everyone knows about his birthday today.

Because Shen Anbei booked a large table in the cafeteria and invited twenty students from his classmates to eat.

This is the unwritten rule of the academy, whoever celebrates his birthday will be treated.

There are only two kinds of people who come to Qiongshan Academy to study, one has an average family background and is talented, and the other is a solid family background and extraordinary talent.

There are almost no poor family backgrounds, the food in the academy is very good, and generally everyone eats the same, but if you want to eat well, you can customize it, that is, say hello in advance, set the name of the dish, and come to eat when the time comes.

Today, Shen Anbei ordered thirty-four dishes for a banquet for classmates and friends.

An Rong listened to the names of those dishes, and his eyes flashed, "You said that a meal cost three hundred taels of silver?" ”

Liu Bai nodded, "It's three hundred taels, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Anxi was puzzled, "Where did the eldest brother get so much silver?" ”

"Didn't you?" Zhao Sheng twisted his eyebrows, a little unconvinced, "But your eldest brother lost the competition with others, and he is willing to lose the bet!" ”

An Rong frowned, "It can't be Shen Zulang, right?" ”

Liu Bai smiled, "It's not him, it's his follower." ”

Calm and soothe her forehead, how can the eldest brother be more anxious than her, she can't hold her breath at all, she is being tricked, she is not worried that the eldest brother has no money, although the eldest brother has no money, but the jade pendants on his body are worth a lot of money, and they can be offset when they are lost, but the problem is face!

Zhao Sheng took An Rong and Shen Anxi to the dining hall, and the atmosphere inside was very lively.

There were fifty or sixty people gathered around, and when they entered, someone was talking.

"Shen Anbei, it's a shame that you are still the dignified prince of Wu'an, you can't solve the problem, and you can't get three hundred taels of silver?"
