Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi walked last, but when the two entered the dining hall, they were stopped by the handyman.

The little servant smirked: "Only the sons can eat here, this is the rule of the academy, and Mei Gongzi should know it." ”

Without waiting for Mei Xiaoren to speak, Ye Zhi took a step back, intending to turn around and go elsewhere, "Childe, I'd better go back." ”

Mei Xiaoren heard Ye Zhi say that he had eaten with the little ones before, but she never regarded Ye Zhi as a subordinate, so after standing silently for a while, she chose to leave with Ye Zhi.

"Childe" Ye Zhi was embarrassed.

Mei Xiaoren walked quickly, with a steady and resolute step, and walked straight to the shack not far away. It was a place where the scholars and the boys ate.

As for how much laughter there was behind her, she didn't bother to pay attention to it before, and now she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Ye Zhi saw Mei Xiaoren like this, so he had to quickly catch up and enter the shack with his own adults.

Ye Zhi was stopped when she went to the dining hall first, but she Mei Xiaoren entered here smoothly.

The cook who distributed the rice didn't ask, and gave Mei Xiaoren the porridge without discrimination, and put a plate of side dishes and a steamed bun on top.

Mei Xiaoren found a place to sit down, ate porridge and side dishes with Ye Zhi, and never ate at separate tables as he did in Yamen.

"Sister-in-law Cui, why are your hands getting whiter and thinner?"

Although it is not quiet under the shed, such a frivolous sentence suddenly pops up, which inevitably attracts some attention.

The voice was directly in front of her, and Mei Xiaoren looked up and saw that it was a scholar who hooked up with the cook there.

Sister-in-law Cui, a cook woman, was one of the few women in the academy, only twenty-eight years old, and was a widowed widow. His family lives in a village under the mountain, and he likes to joke with these scholars on weekdays, and he is very open.

However, the scholar who dares to tease a woman in front of everyone must have a powerful master behind him, such as the scholar in front of him, named Chang Fu.

Xiaocui didn't eat this set, glanced at Chang Fu, grabbed the kitchen knife at hand and gestured: "Take your dog's paws away, be careful that the old lady chops you up and down." ”

Chang Fu not only didn't stop his hand, but also held his hand holding the handle of the knife, and asked with a smile while touching: "Which next?"

Mei Xiaoren glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze to eat, and saw that Ye Zhi's head was buried extremely low, and his face seemed to be a little red.

She couldn't help laughing, and chuckled: "Lao Ye, he didn't tease you again, why are you ashamed?"

Ye Zhi was still uncomfortable, and asked in a low voice: "How can there be such a person in the academy?"

"Dogs fight people." Mei Xiaoren replied casually.

Someone quipped: "Okay Changfu, we all know that Sister-in-law Cui's ability to sharpen knives is first-class, don't provoke others, otherwise this quick knife will go down, and you will have to break one above and below." ”

Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes again, and his eyes fell on the person beside Chang Fu, who was Wu Xian's scholar Zhao Hai.

Obviously, Sister-in-law Cui is also partial to the minions of these two big families, she dislikes Chang Fu, but she smiled at Zhao Hai, and gave Zhao Hai an extra bun when she took the meal.

Mei Xiaoren thought while eating, ate slowly, and at the end, she and Ye Zhi were left under the shed to occupy a seat.

Sister-in-law Cui finished wiping the table next to her, threw the rag to the table, and the person sat down, and somehow put her hand on Mei Xiaoren's shoulder, and sighed with a smile: "I said Mei Gongzi, why are you so hard, don't eat chicken, duck and fish, come here to eat porridge and pickles." ”

"My friend and I have always been blessed to share it." Mei Xiaoren did not reject Sister-in-law Cui's actions, and smiled

That's right, "Sister-in-law Cui, look at your charm, you haven't given birth"

"Mei Gongzi, you can say that my son is eight years old." Sister-in-law Cui said, pushed Mei Xiaoren a little cowardly, and touched her shoulder a few times, "Before I got married, my favorite was a scholar who was as polite as Mei Gongzi." ”

Mei Xiaoren still sat naturally, and asked with a smile at Sister-in-law Cui's words: "Did Ling Gongzi study?"

"Of course I have to read, I just entered the official school last month, and it's time to spend money, so I'm worried." Sister-in-law Cui changed her face with a sad face, and sighed softly in Mei Xiaoren's ear, "What if you spend money again, it doesn't have to be for him to study, and the old lady still expects him to go to this Jinshan Academy in the future." ”

The corners of Mei Xiaoren's lips raised, and he took out a silver ingot and handed it to Sister-in-law Cui, "I like children who read, and they are promising." ”

When Sister-in-law Cui saw that the silver had arrived, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately let go of Mei Xiaoren, accepted the silver and bowed her head happily: "Xie Mei Gongzi rewards." ”

"You're welcome."

Mei Xiaoren smiled quietly, and his mood became a little heavier.

"Mei Gongzi will not suffer here in the future, I will take care of your friend's food, don't worry." Sister-in-law Cui said, throwing a soft eye wave at Mei Xiaoren.

Mei Xiaoren pretended to eat her very much, and said with a smile: "There is labor." ”

After eating, she and Ye Zhi came out of the shack and picked a quiet road to stroll.

Ye Zhifang didn't dare to look at Mei Xiaoren and the cook woman, he didn't understand, adults have never been close to women, why would they take care of this country woman now, and she is a very disorderly woman.

Mei Xiaoren was still pondering alone, why the son of a rural servant woman could enter the official school

If Jinzhou's official school is not limited to background, then why did you enter at the age of eight, and it was last month

These are all strange

Ye Zhi still had something else in mind, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, in front of the canteen just now, why did that son target the adult so much?"

Mei Xiaoren came back to his senses when he heard the voice, turned his eyes to look at Ye Zhi, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and sighed: "Old Ye, I have offended people, but he has also offended me, it depends on which of us can beat whom." ”

"Offended" Ye Zhi frowned, "Who did the adults offend?"

"The Ministry of Industry and its eldest son."

Mei Xiaoren replied blandly. Ye Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and said in a daze: "My lord, this"

"What are you afraid of?" Mei Xiaoren smiled.

After thinking about it, she decided to hide it from Ye Zhi, and it was enough for her to investigate this case alone.

Ye Zhi didn't understand, the adults of his family were most afraid of offending their bosses in the past, so they coaxed Governor Li to obey, but now they have offended Shangshu Gongzi

But then he found out that there was more to it than he understood.

It has been more than half a year since the adults of his family came to the college, why is it only now that they are in a hurry, begging the master everywhere to teach him his homework, so that everyone in the college knows that the adults of his family want to hold on to their feet in these last three months

The adult's move was not an encouragement, but countless ridicule.

And no matter how much the adults of his family asked the gentlemen for help, none of these teachers were willing to lend a hand, and they all avoided the adults of his family, which should be the threat of the day of the swarking Shangshu Gongzi.

After a few days, the adults of his family could not find a gentleman who was willing to teach, so they wandered around the academy all day, sighing when they met people.

Ye Zhiyu couldn't bear it, and after struggling in his heart for a long time, he decided to break the dilemma of having no teacher for the adults of his family.
