Chapter 186: The Academy
Huo Jiuye is eleven years old, and she has been kidnapped three times, and the third time she managed to escape by herself alone, for which she has always been proud.
Therefore, although he knew that he was being followed, Huo Roufeng was not only afraid, but a little excited.
Jiangnan Baomo Zhai is really problematic, it should be because she looked strange in the shop, not like a customer who came to buy something, so she was noticed by the shopkeeper, so people came to follow her.
If there is nothing strange about this shop, how can it be so vigilant?
Huo Roufeng caught a glimpse of a shop selling literature and entertainment on the side of the road, so he walked in, Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan were inside and outside the door, pretending to be waiting for their master, but in fact they were paying attention to the people who followed behind.
Huo Roufeng saw that there were two simple carved wooden barrels under the counter in the shop, and in the wooden barrels were walnuts and small gourds. ”
"You can pick one for a penny, and if you buy something else in the shop, I'll give you one for free."
Buy something and give it away for free?
Huo Roufeng's eyes lit up, she was not stupid enough to buy something for nothing.
She picked five walnuts and five gourds, a total of ten yuan, she asked Zhang Xuan to pay the bill, and she took these walnuts and gourds into her arms.
The things she likes, whether they are worth it or not, have lived two lives, the ninth master has valuable objects, but the ninth master doesn't like much.
And then...... She slipped through the back door.
Zhang Ting was still outside the shop, and Zhang Xuan, who was called in to settle the bill, followed Huo Roufeng to the Shuren Academy.
The master and servant met Lu Yu, who was sweating profusely, at the gate of the academy.
"Lu Da, you didn't sit in a sedan chair?" Huo Roufeng asked.
Lu Yu didn't have a carriage, but his mother felt sorry for him, and used her private money to hire a sedan chair for him to pull his feet.
Lu Yu cried with a sad face: "The sedan chair man said that he would increase the price by three yuan a month in the future, and I haven't negotiated the price with him yet, so he didn't come to pick me up today." ”
Huo Roufeng was very fortunate that it was not the Lu family who brought her home back then.
Who would have thought that Lu Yu, who was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, would not even be able to take out three coins of silver.
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he remembered that Huo Jiu shouldn't be here, and he asked, "Since you are coming to Gongyuan this morning, why don't you come to my house to come with me, so that I can still take your carriage." ”
Huo Roufeng pointed behind him: "I didn't take a carriage, I also hired a sedan chair on the street." ”
Speaking of this, she winked at Lu Yu: "Is it okay to take me to class with you?" I've lived two lifetimes, and I haven't been to a academy yet. ”
She told the truth, but Lu Yu only thought she was exaggerating, and didn't take the "two lifetimes" she said to heart at all.
"I can't do it, I saw Huang Datou for a while, and asked him to talk to the master, and I saw him invite the master to eat red stewed mutton yesterday."
Huo Roufeng didn't care whether her master agreed or not, she wanted to sneak into the Shuren Academy now.
The students who can come to Shuren Academy to study are either rich or expensive, and except for accompanying them, no one's servants and entourages are allowed to enter.
And because the tuition fee of Shuren Academy is also rare in Beijing, the Lu family is not willing to provide another companion to study here.
Lu Yu didn't study with him, so he and Huo Roufeng walked into the academy.
One saw one on the road, so he joked to Lu Yu: "Lu Da, is this your new companion?" ”
Lu Yu ignored it, he couldn't answer, if he said yes, what if Huo Jiu relied on him and let the Lu family pay for tuition?
If not, the guys should make fun of him for not having a companion.
As soon as he walked into the academy, he saw Huang Xianjun talking to an old man, and when he saw the old man, Lu Yu shrunk his neck and whispered to Huo Roufeng: "That's Master Huang, who taught our class." ”
"Also surnamed Huang?" Huo Roufeng asked.
"It's surnamed Huang, but Master Huang's Huang has nothing to do with Huang Datou." Lu Yu smiled.
Huang Xianjun also saw them, he was stunned, but his face was silent, he respectfully hugged his fist to Huang Fuzi, and saw Huang Fuzi go away with a smile on his face, then he ran over and said to Huo Roufeng: "Huo Jiu, why are you here, is there an accident on the bookstore street, your carriage can't pass, and you have also gone around to the front street of the Gongyuan?" ”
Huo Roufeng was stunned, from Shuangjing Hutong to Qinglong Street, where the Yongfeng number is located, it is indeed necessary to pass through the bookshop street, if the bookshop street is not easy to walk, there is only a detour to the front street of Gongyuan.
Today, she didn't take a carriage, but took a shortcut and went straight to the front street of Gongyuan, so she didn't have to go to the bookstore street anymore.
Therefore, she didn't know if there was an accident on Bookstore Street.
"What's the matter, what's going on on Bookstore Street?" Huo Roufeng asked.
Huang Xianjun saw her dazed look, so he guessed that he was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "You two listen, something big has happened, a big thing." ”
Seeing that he was playing tricks, Huo Roufeng glared at him: "Say it quickly!" ”
"Jin Yiwei went to the bookstore street to get people, went to a bookstore, and arrested the young shopkeeper of the bookstore, by the way, their young shopkeeper is the young owner, that is, his own shop is in charge of himself, and then the old shopkeeper chased out, just slipped on the ground, the old shopkeeper fell, stepped on a bamboo pole on the ground before he fell, the pole flew out, and a person of Jinyiwei was passed through the chest...... He's dead. ”
When Huang Xianjun said this, his mouth was sighing, obviously he also felt incredible.
Huo Roufeng didn't ask another question, turned around and ran towards the gate of the academy.
Huang Xianjun was stunned for a moment, and said to Lu Yu: "It's troublesome, this matter has something to do with Huo Jiu, let's hurry up and help." ”
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Impossible, Huo Jiu didn't say it." ”
"Is Huo Jiu a nosyman? Let's go, you're not wrong to listen to me, this must have something to do with him. Huang Xianjun ran as he spoke, but Lu Yu had no choice but to follow.
The two immediately forgot about coming to school.
They guessed wrong, Huo Roufeng had nothing to do with this matter, she just felt that the picture described by Huang Xianjun was too familiar.
She couldn't remember when she had seen or heard of it, but she could immediately imagine the old man slipping and kicking the bamboo pole into Jinyiwei's chest.
It's as if she's seen it with her own eyes.
She ran to the gate of the academy in one breath and saw Zhang Xuan with a stunned face, and then remembered that she had come to the academy to avoid the people who were following her.
She took a breath of relief, and only then did she realize her gaffe when she heard the cries of Huang Xianjun and Lu Yu behind her.
But she still wanted to take a look at the bookstore street.
She asked Zhang Xuan, "Have you seen Zhang Ting?" ”
Zhang Xuan shook his head: "No, he didn't know we were here." ”
Huo Roufeng took a deep breath and was about to call the sedan chair with Zhang Xuan, when she heard a slightly cold voice calling her name: "Huo Jiuye, I didn't expect to meet here, what a coincidence." ”
