After Jia Mengchen went out, the unbridled hustle and bustle in the hall continued, making a mess.

Zhu Ming and Zhong Dayong laughed the most happily, in the past, they were both the objects of ridicule, and now that they have such an opportunity to laugh at others, how can they let it go easily.

In the midst of laughter, Jiang Yun, who was the party concerned, seemed to be light, as if he was fine, cleaned up, and Shi Shiran walked out of the hall.

Seeing that the person concerned was gone, after the people in the hall laughed and made a fuss, they should do what they should do, and they scattered in twos and threes, but I believe that Jiang Yun's "crooked poem" will soon spread throughout the academy and even the entire county, and its reputation will spread far and wide.

After leaving the main hall, Jiang Yun went straight back to the small courtyard residence, and when he approached, he saw a slender little figure standing in front of the courtyard of the residence.

"Xiaolan, why are you here, is there something going on at home? He walked over and asked.

When the little maid saw him, she shouted "Childe", and showed a few strange expressions, and said crisply: "I brought food to you, Childe." ”

Jiang Yun noticed that the other party was still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, which should contain the lunch he was given.

There is also a dining room in Qinghe Academy to provide meals for all students, but in the past, Jiang Yun thought that the food here was not good, so he kept asking Youlan to send it from home.

Shahe Village is not far from this Qinghe Town, it is said that it is not close, and there are also five miles of road, so it is too much for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl to run five miles at noon every day just to deliver him food.

Jiang Yun didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered: "Xiaolan, you don't have to send me food in the future." ”

"Ah, Childe, Xiaolan did something wrong, you won't let me deliver food!"

After hearing this, the little maid looked sincerely frightened, and she had done something wrong in the past, and the other party didn't want her anymore.

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Xiaolan, you didn't do anything wrong, but I decided that I would eat in the academy in the future, and I didn't need you to travel so far to send it here." ”

The little maid Youlan understood what the other party meant, blinked, shook her head and said, "It's not far, Xiaolan is not tired." ”

Jiang Yun said in an unquestionable tone: "Needless to say, this matter is settled, don't come to deliver food in the future, do you hear?" ”

The little maid Youlan glanced up at the person in front of her, and only felt that since she fell seriously ill a few days ago, her son had changed a little, and he had become a little different from before.

Such a thought passed through her mind, and she didn't think about it anymore, anyway, this kind of change seems to be better than before, at least more sympathetic to the next person, like today, no longer let her go all the way to deliver food, is an example.

"Okay, Xiaolan promised Childe that he should go in and eat, otherwise the food will be cold. She didn't argue any further, and said obediently.

Jiang Yun pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, the little maid Youlan followed in, in the corner of the courtyard, there was a small stone table, Youlan walked over and put down the bamboo basket, took out the food box and bowls from it, and placed it on the stone table.

There was a small stone bench beside the stone table, Jiang Yun walked over and sat down, and asked casually, "Xiaolan, have you eaten?" ”

Youlan nodded and said, "Xiaolan has eaten it." After she had set the meal on the stone table, she stood aside.

Jiang Yun didn't say much, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate them.

Youlan stood next to her, a little nervous at first, but when she saw that the other party was eating quickly, she didn't seem to be angry, so she put her mind at ease.

The lunch brought by Youlan is not sumptuous, it is very simple, except for a bowl of rice, it is two kinds of fresh vegetables, both of which are produced in their own vegetable fields.

If it was before, seeing such a simple meal, the original Jiang Yun was only afraid that he would slap the table and get angry, so he had to complain and nag, the original nerd was very good-looking, although at home, most of the food was also coarse tea and light rice, but for the meals sent to the academy, he had very high requirements, there must be meat, the reason why this is so is nothing more than vanity, worried that the people of the academy will see his shabby food, laugh at him, and ask the maid to deliver the meal, and it may not be without the meaning of putting on a score.

Now Jiang Yun will not be so picky and complain about the food, and even if he does, he will not do anything to the little girl, not to mention that although it is a simple meal, it is a pure natural and pollution-free green food, and the taste is also delicious, how can he be dissatisfied.

After eating for a while, Youlan came over to clean up the dishes and was about to leave, Jiang Yun ordered again, and said, "Remember, don't come to deliver food in the future." ”

After the other party agreed softly, he thought of something, and ordered: "Yes, after you go back, ask Gu Bo to prepare five taels of silver and send it tomorrow." ”

After Youlan heard this, she didn't respond immediately, her eyebrows frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and still asked boldly: "I don't know what the son wants this silver tael for?" Grandpa asked, and Xiaolan could reply. ”

If it was before, she didn't dare to ask so boldly, the master wanted to use silver, how could there be a reason for people to talk too much, and it was also Jiang Yun who had shown different changes recently, and she didn't treat her so harshly, so she dared to ask so much.

Jiang Yun didn't think that her question meant a lot of things, but just explained: "I remember that the lease of this academy residence is about to expire, so I am ready to renew the lease in silver taels." ”

When Youlan heard this, she was a little unhappy. She knows her master's temperament, good face, spending money lavishly outside, fortunately she doesn't have the vice of prostitution and gambling, she just likes to do some things such as inviting guests to eat and drinking, and she can't stand the slightest pandering, so she was deceived by others, and she spent a lot of money, not to mention, and she couldn't get the benefits of favors, and was laughed at behind her back and said that she was wronged.

Now I heard him say that if he wants this money, he just wants to renew the rent of this college dormitory, not to invite people to eat and drink to pay for his grievances, which is good. However, she knows very well in her heart that now the family's economic situation is in a difficult situation, except for the rent of hundreds of acres of fertile land, there is no other income, and now Wang Tiezhu and Zhang Erniu have made trouble, the rent has been reduced to two percent, and the income has suddenly decreased by one-third, and she has to bear the other party's study and school expenses, which is even more stretched.

She glanced at the small courtyard house where the other party lived in front of her, although it was good here, the environment was quiet and quiet, and it was a place to study quietly, but the rent was too expensive, and the rent for a quarter would cost five taels of silver, which made her feel distressed.

In her opinion, the other party is completely unnecessary, living in such a good house, is it not good to live in the ordinary free house provided by the academy, take a step back, it is not bad to go back and live every day, anyway, there is not much way from home.

Her lips smacked a few times, these words still didn't come out in the end, no matter what, she is just a subordinate after all, for the master's actions, where is the mouth, if the other party is angry, I don't know how to get rid of myself.

So she still didn't dare to say more, just whispered, then said goodbye and turned around, and left the courtyard.

Youlan walked on the bluestone path of the academy, and was about to follow the road out of the academy and go home. Originally, the academy forbade unrelated idlers to enter and exit, but there were many pampered young masters in the academy, and there were also many maids and servants like her who came to deliver meals at noon every day, so after identifying their identities, the academy turned a blind eye to this and allowed these people to enter and exit.

Youlan was carrying a bamboo basket, her head was lowered, her steps were hurried, and she was about to hurry back, when she saw a figure in front of her, and someone blocked her way.

She was taken aback and quickly stopped her steps, which avoided the result of hitting her head.

"Isn't this Miss Xiaolan, who came to deliver food to that nerd again?"

A flirtatious voice sounded in his ears, Youlan looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a white fat young student smiling in front of him, who was Zhu Ming, the son of Zhu Dahu in the village, next to him, there was also a young student who was as thin as a hemp stick, needless to say, it was his sworn friend Zhong Dayong.

"What are you doing, don't get out of the way!" Seeing these two people, Youlan suddenly didn't have a good voice, tightened her little face, and scolded crisply.

"I just won't let me, what can you do to me?" Zhu Ming straightened his chest and teased.

"You-" Youlan gritted her teeth in anger, and was about to run away, but Zhu Ming took another step and blocked her way.

"Xiaolan, to tell you the truth, you are such a delicate little girl, it's a pity to follow that nerd, or just follow me, be my maid, and ensure that you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, isn't it much better than following that nerd, don't you say?" Zhu Ming teased again.

Every time Youlan came to the academy, what she was afraid of was running into Zhu Ming, Zhong Dayong used these two wicked people, every time she met them, she had to entangle, she gritted her lips at the moment, and said angrily: "Zhu Ming, please respect yourself!"

Zhu Mingthief smiled and said: "Why don't I respect myself, what I said is from my heart, and I ask Miss Xiaolan to think about it carefully! Of course, if you can't rest assured that your grandfather, you can also ask him to come to the house together, anyway, it's not too much for him to have an old man." ”

Youlan glared at the other party fiercely, and scolded: "Zhu Ming, don't talk nonsense, I won't leave my son-in-law, you still take advantage of this thought!"

Zhu Ming shook his head again and again, and said: "Xiaolan, why are you such a dead brain, what's so good about following that nerd, do you think that nerd will really have a future, to tell you the truth, even the professor of the academy said that that nerd reads dead books, and if he gets into the tip of the horns, he won't have anything to do at all." ”

"Haha, don't you know, just this morning, that nerd made a big joke and made a crooked poem that didn't make sense, so angry that the professor scolded him for being bullshit and insulting Sven, and now that nerd has been discredited in the academy, I'm afraid that in a short time, he will be expelled from the academy!"

"You're talking nonsense! Childe is doing well in the academy, so he won't be kicked out. Youlan blushed with anger and retorted.
