Yu Xiaocao sent the roast chicken with hot air and the osmanthus duck with an attractive fragrance to Dean Yuan. Facing Yuan Sinian, who immediately turned from a tall Confucian to a teasing food, he just wanted to pick it up with his hand, but the corner of his eye swept to a few teachers and students who had seen it nearby, and he was busy pretending to be tall, and said, "Ahem!" The dean is honest and does not accept gifts! ”

Xiaocao complained in her heart: Whose stomach did all the food she brought before? Now he says that he doesn't accept gifts, which is really ridiculous!

Alas! Who told her little brother that she still had to rely on others to take care of her? She had to cooperate with the performance: "Dean, don't hide it, I came today to inquire about something." I wonder if you can take a step to speak, Dean! ”

Dean Yuan raised his head even higher, stroked his beard and said, "It's just to ask about something, why bring a gift here?" If there's anything, just say it! The gentleman is frank, there is nothing to avoid!! ”

Get! It's still pretending, it's addictive, isn't it? Xiaocao deliberately put the two oiled paper bags back into the food basket, and said with a smile: "Dean Yuan is really honest and frank, which is really admirable!" ”

Although Yuan Sinian was looking up at a forty-five degree angle, the corner of his eyes was still paying close attention to the food. Seeing that Xiaocao put away the roast chicken and osmanthus duck that was going to be given to him, he immediately became anxious, but he couldn't show it well, so he could only hint at her with his eyes.

Yu Xiaocao deliberately pretended not to understand what he meant, and continued to amplify his voice and said, "Dean, I heard that Rongxuan Academy has a place where you can enter the school by paying five hundred taels of silver, so you have to leave one for me." My uncle is also a scholar, and although his qualifications are average, he works very hard......"

Dean Yuan's face turned pale when he heard this, he didn't care about whether the food was delicious or not, he looked at Yu Xiaocao and asked, "Where did you get the news?" Since the establishment of my Rongxuan Academy, we have only accepted people based on qualifications and not money. I, Yuan Sinian, set up this academy in order to provide the imperial court with the talent to govern the country, not to seek wealth! Don't say that if you pay 500 taels and want to enter our academy, you just come with a mountain of gold and silver, and if you don't pass the test, you don't want to enter the academy to study!! ”

Once, the youngest son of a wealthy man in Jiangnan almost passed the exam a little bit, and the rich man was willing to take out half of the family property, just to let his son enter the hospital to study, but he was turned away. Fortunately, his youngest son worked hard, studied hard for another year, and was finally admitted to Rongxuan Academy.

"Dean Yuan, don't be angry yet! That's the case, my grandmother went to the melon shop today, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked us for five hundred taels, and I heard her mean that the five hundred taels of silver were for my uncle to enter Rongxuan Academy! So, as soon as I appeased her, I came to the academy to ask you if there was such a thing! Yu Xiaocao briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Dean Yuan quickly calmed down and frowned, "I thought about this matter for a while, and I felt that there were two possibilities. First, Rongxuan Academy has a moth, and some people use the admission quota of the college for personal gain; Second, your family has encountered scammers who take advantage of your uncle's eagerness to enter the academy to seek money. You go with me to the study to rest for a while, and I'll talk to the chief and the prison about it......"

Xiaocao agreed, and went to the dean's study with the waiter. This quaint, bookish building, Xiaocao is not the first time to come. She put the oiled paper bag on the desk at the right door, took a book of poetry from the shelf, and flipped through it.

The waiter made a cup of fragrant tea and brought it in, and when he saw the oil leached out of the oil paper packet, it stained a word that the dean had just written, and his heart ached: their dean's calligraphy and paintings, that is hard to find! I saw Xiaocao casually flipping through the lone book written by Wang Youcheng himself, and I was worried, for fear that the little girl would not know how to cherish it and damage it.

Yu Xiaocao, who dropped out of junior high school before graduating in his previous life, looked at the traditional characters on the paper, one head and two big. Although I have learned to learn characters with Xiaoshi for a period of time, some common traditional Chinese characters can still be handled, but there are often many awkward words and sentences in ancient poems, which make people scratch their heads. She picked up a few ancient poems she had learned and shook her head to admire them.

When Yuan Sinian led the head of the academy and the prison in, he saw this scene, a plainly dressed little girl, holding an ancient book, her big eyes full of spirituality, there seemed to be nothing she couldn't appreciate.

"It turns out that the little girl has also read books!" Yuan Sinian smiled gently.

Xiaocao hurriedly put the poetry scroll in his hand back to its original position on the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "I just learned a few words with my younger brother." If you move the books on the shelves without the consent of the dean, you will not be compensated. ”

Dean Yuan smiled and said, "If you love to read, what's the crime?" But let's talk about what we just said! ”

Chief Liang Shan said with a serious face: "My academy really doesn't have the so-called thing of taking money to buy school places!" Miss Yu is afraid that she has encountered a scam, right? ”

The prison court has seen Xiaocao a few times, and has a good impression of her, and gives advice: "I think, you should go to the official, right?" ”

Dean Yuan said sonorously: "Using the name of Rongxuan Academy to swagger and deceive outside, this unhealthy trend must not be tolerated!" Serve the book, take my post to the county office. This matter is related to the reputation of the academy, and the old man must personally inquire about it!! ”

Yu Xiaocao saw that the answer she wanted had been revealed, so she said goodbye. Look at the time, the initiation class should have ended, and the group of little ones who are waiting to be fed are already in a hurry!

Of course, Xiaocao didn't expect that as soon as she left the study with her front feet, the three celebrities in it who were almost more than two hundred years old were fighting wits and courage in order to get two oiled paper bags, and they almost didn't fight. In the end, Dean Yuan used a benevolent tone to give them the roast chicken and osmanthus duck.

When Yu Xiaocao arrived at Xiaoshi's dormitory, four pairs of black eyes stared at the direction of the door. In front of the little guys, except for the small stone and a green vegetable, everything else is just white rice. Yes, just waiting for the roast chicken and duck in her hand to eat!

Seeing Xiaocao's figure, the little ones were expressionless, their eyes looked at her hands, and they saw two bulging oil-paper bags in the food basket, so they cheered and came to Xiaocao. A bunch of realistic guys!

"Second sister, when they heard that you were called by the dean, they have been very depressed, and they kept saying: Today's food is in the soup!" Little Stone held back a smile as he watched a few guys grab chicken legs. Count them as having a conscience and know to give him one!

The food sent by Xiaocao has not been cut off by the dean once or twice. Later, in order not to disappoint the little ones, Xiaocao delivered meals in double portions. This time is certainly no exception!

Seeing the little ones eating the food she brought with great praise, Xiaocao smiled and said: "The amount of roast chicken and duck is enough, you can eat it with your belly open, eat it slowly, don't choke!" ”

Sun Xiaopang nibbled on the duck leg and said with an oily mouth: "Second sister! I'm so glad I share a dormitory with Little Rock. The last time Xiu Mu came home, my mother said with disgust that I was fat again! No way, who told our second sister to cook delicious!! Second sister, next time you send some oyster sauce greens or something, be lighter, I should lose weight. ”

Liu Jinye slowly divided the roast chicken and duck into four portions, and piled his own portion in a large bowl for himself. He eats slowly, and robs Sun Fatzi and Situ Monkey, and only suffers a loss. So, he replaced the bowl with a large one. He brought his share of the dish first, so as not to be robbed by Sun Xiaopang.

Hearing this, Liu Jinye swallowed the chicken in his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to eat green vegetables?" There are many in the canteen. If you want to lose weight, that's easier. Eat canteen meals for a month, and you will lose ten pounds! ”

Sun Xiaopang frowned his face with a painful expression: "Then forget it!" Can the boiled vegetables in the canteen be compared with our second sister's craftsmanship? It's just pig food, how can you eat it? Let me eat cafeteria meals for a month - let me die fat!! ”

There was a good-natured laugh.

"Grass? It's really you!! I just thought I was wrong!! A familiar voice came from the direction of the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the past, and Xiao Shi suddenly let out a cry of joy: "Brother Xiaowen! Have you eaten? My second sister brought roast chicken and salted duck from Zhenyulou this time, come and try it! ”

Roast chicken and osmanthus duck in Zhenyulou? It is said that it has risen from five taels of silver to ten taels at the beginning, and it is still in short supply. The Yu family is really as his mother said - life has improved a lot!

However, now the Qian family's life is much better than in the past. His ducks are no longer so worried that they can't be sold, and even the duck egg Zhou family is also round. Just the ducks sold to Zhenyulou have an income of dozens of taels. Not long ago, his mother hatched a batch of ducklings, and caught a lot of ducklings from other places, and this time she raised four or five hundred! The Qian family, who has tasted the sweetness, is ready to roll up their sleeves and do a big job!

Qian Wen looked at Xiaocao, she hadn't seen her for many days, the little girl was taller again, her skin was fair and translucent, and she could almost pinch out water, and her big eyes seemed to be able to touch the depths of people's souls......

I heard my mother say that the roast chicken and osmanthus duck in Zhenyulou have a lot to do with the little girl in front of her. The watermelons planted this spring are not favored, and one can be sold for five taels of silver. Not to mention that the Yu family also has the business of braised vegetables on the wharf, and the buying and selling of seafood...... The distance between his house and hers seems to be getting bigger and bigger......

He doesn't think so, though! Mr. said that with his current knowledge, he will be able to take the boys' exam next year. If he can successfully pass the college examination, he will be the only talent in Dongshan Village. He was only fifteen years old at the time. Now that the conditions at home allow, he will take the examination in the future, and he will be admitted to the Jinshi! By then......

"Brother Xiaowen, this chicken leg is for you!!" The strong fragrance in Xiao Shi's hand interrupted his thoughts.

Qian Wen smiled at the little guy and said, "I've eaten!" Eat the chicken thighs yourself! ”

Usually, Qian Wen takes good care of Xiaoshi. Qian is proud of his efforts, and his knowledge has always been in the top three in the intermediate class, and Xiao Shi likes this big brother in the same village with a little respect. The little guy insisted on sharing the delicious food with Brother Xiaowen: "After eating, you can also taste a chicken leg!" It's really delicious!! ”
