The rich second generation is forced to start all over again [farming] Section 247
Yan Junqi did not leave a trace and included the Fang City where Ruixiang Building was located.
Chapter 211: Preparing Meals
Daqi Youyou was in the government at the time, Yan Junqi was delayed in the household department for a while, and when he returned to the Hanlin Academy, his colleagues were almost gone.
Today's document is finished, they don't have any work for the time being, and they don't know what to roll if they want to roll, so He Songzhi is still copying books diligently-
He borrowed it from the library and found which one was worn, so he copied it again, some of the lone books were not worth printing new, and they were not precious, and the quality was very poor after a long time, in the past, he Taishi often borrowed such books when he was young, and returned them when he copied them, and sometimes exchanged the old ones with new ones.
He Songzhi saw it at Taishi He, and if he had nothing to do today, he also went to borrow it.
When Yan Junqi heard about it, he asked, "Can I borrow books from the Library Pavilion and take them home?" β
He Songzhi: "Non-rare books can be used, but you can only borrow one at a time." β
Yan Junqi is trying to borrow it, look at the time, forget it, let's find time tomorrow.
He was going home, and He Songzhi had to stay a little longer.
He won't go home until it gets dark.
Yan Junqi said goodbye to him, took the clothes he received today and the regular clothes he had changed, and went home.
Before coming out of the imperial city, Yan Junqi saw Lu Xu standing opposite the gate waiting for him.
Just like when he came out of the county academy, Lu Xu always picked him up with all kinds of snacks and snacks.
Yan Junqi hooked the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace towards Lu Xu.
Lu Xu: "Are you hungry?" I brought you mung bean cake and today I found a dim sum shop that tastes good. β
Yan Junqi took out a piece from the bag, and saw that there were courtiers and servants who were waiting for the courtiers and others nearby, and they didn't eat it immediately, "Let's go, let's go back." β
Lu Xu noticed that everyone else was looking at them, hugged the paper bag with an "oh", walked away with Yan Junqi, and asked after turning into the alley, "Is there no food allowed there?" β
It is not allowed to eat casually in the imperial city, only a few designated places can rest and drink, there is no such rule outside the imperial city, but eating at the gate of the city seems to be a little high-profile.
Yan Junqi nodded, and while eating, he talked to Lu Xu about the lunch of Hanlin Academy, as well as what He Songzhi said to him, what he could bring to eat at noon.
After hearing this, Lu Xu was left with an emotion: "There are so many things!" β
When you are an official, you are not allowed to eat enough, this is a broken official......
Forget the hard work, let's take it first.
"Then I'll help you get something to eat tomorrow."
"Hmm."
"Do you have water to drink?"
"Yes."
"Can I bring my own tea?"
"Yes, we can just drink it in our family."
"Okay." Lu Xu doesn't like to drink tea very much, and the tea leaves at home are all picked by Yan Junqi, which is not expensive, tastes acceptable, and is cost-effective.
Lu Xu thought for a while, "I'll buy some another day, and I'm almost out of drinks at home." β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
At dinner in the evening, talking about Yan Junqi's experience on duty on the first day, Lu Zhou was also very curious.
Hanlin Academy, far away from the scholars from a marginal county, just listen to how to sit inside, what to eat, there are a few people, already with relish.
After hearing what happened to He Songzhi, the brothers' expressions were exactly the same shock-
Hallymin, is it so naΓ―ve?!
Yan Junqi looked at the expressions of the two of them and wanted to laugh.
Lu Xu: "I don't understand, if you study poorly, you will be disliked and excluded, and if you study well, you will also be excluded?" β
Lu Zhou: "He just entered the Hanlin Academy, even if he did something wrong and upset anyone, wouldn't it be good to say that he wouldn't open it?" Everyone is a classmate, why should this be? β
Lu Xu: "Isn't it jealousy?!" β
Lu Zhou: "But working is not studying, He Zhuangyuan does more, can't others do less?" β
Lu Xu: "Doesn't that mean they are useless?" β
Lu Zhou: "Oh! β
He thought for a moment and wondered, "Can ...... Isn't that what it is? β
Lu Xu: "...... You're right, they're useless. β
Yan Junqi was going to be laughed to death by the two of them.
Lu Zhou still thought so, and didn't understand it very much, "Isn't there no rule that you have to write more?" Do you want to deduct silver if you write slowly? β
Yan Junqi shook his head.
Lu Xu: "It's not good to be promoted if your performance is not outstanding!" β
Lu Zhou: "Isn't copying documents just exercise?" β
Although he didn't understand why he was admitted to the Jinshi, and even the champions, he still had to carry out such exercises.
Lu Zhou: "I am what I am, I have to be reluctant to copy documents, and isn't it more difficult to be assigned to a more demanding position?" β
Lu Xu: "That's it! Look at your brother Junqi, on the first day, he was called to the household department to help, what is this, capable! Receiving one money and doing two jobs, it is said that we are still at a loss. β
Lu Zhou was nodding his head, when he heard a slam from behind, huh?
Isn't it nice to have your ability recognized?
Yan Junqi corrected him: "I go to work in the household department, and I can also get money." β
Lu Xu: "How much?" β
Yan Junqi: "Six hundred yuan a month." β
Lu Xu surged up again with the idea that he would not do it, and said euphemistically: "...... Then you see if the work of the household department is tired, if you are too tired, we will copy the documents in the Hanlin Academy, if you are not tired, you will walk at both ends. When you go to the household department, do you still need to copy official documents? β
Yan Junqi nodded, "Will give me some less." β
Lu Xu: "That's still a little bit human. β
Yan Junqi asked for He Songzhi: "If you are He Songzhi, what will you do with the current situation?" β
Lu Xu was stunned, "Excluded? β
Yan Junqi nodded.
Lu Xu: "him, he ignores the master, and the master still ignores him." β
Yan Junqi couldn't hold back and laughed silently.
He still thinks Lu Xu can do anything, isn't this the same as him?
Lu Xu: "The backstage is so hard, what are you afraid of, whoever dares to provoke whom, if it doesn't work, you will fight, and if you can't beat it, you will find the leader to sue him!" I don't believe that any official in the court dares not to give face to Taishi He, at most he will be scolded, what are you afraid of! β
Yan Junqi: "......"
If He Songzhi had this "reckless" energy, he would not be excluded by others, but by forming a gang to squeeze out others, right?
Lu Zhou asked: "Concentrate on reading, isn't it, can't you concentrate on doing your own thing?" β
Lu Xu: "That is, the court spent so much money to hire them, did it let them engage in gangs and factions to squeeze out people?" β
Lu Zhou nodded in agreement: "It's good to do your own thing, if you can get along, you can naturally get along, and if you don't get along, forget it." β
That's how he made friends.
Lu Xu came up with an idea from the practical operation: "Exchange snacks at lunch, usually see who needs help to help others, he is the champion, his family background is good, he has vision, he has connections, he can always help people, don't you remind us today?" β
Yan Junqi nodded.
Lu Xu smiled: "Since you will ask for him, it proves that his character must be good, and others will find out after getting along for a long time, besides, don't you already regard him as a friend?" β
He thought about it for a while, and felt the experience of being excluded when he was in school, if there were classmates like Junqi who were willing to talk to him, share the table with him, and have lunch together, he would definitely not be so lonely.
"I'll make you some snacks, and you and him will eat them tomorrow!" If you are in a bad mood, you can be happy.
Yan Junqi smiled: "Okay." β
According to He Songzhi's information, as long as it can be put into the sleeve, not too conspicuous, and there is no peculiar smell, you can bring it.
The guards at the gate generally don't go too far after looking at the tokens in and out, and when they encounter spot checks on any day, they just take out the food and take a bite for them to see.
With the direction, Lu Xu is ready to prepare.
He Songzhi suggested that for convenience, it is best to use a handkerchief to wrap a piece of dim sum.
But Lu Xu didn't plan to do that, it was too improvised.
He first found two large purses, put greasing paper inside, and stuffed dried meat into them.
There wasn't much beef jerky, so he had to go out and buy some dried meat another day, or make some himself.
The other is the preserved fruit, in order to prevent the smell from crossing, wrap it in oiled paper.
There is also a small packet of tea.
Vitamin supplements are needed.
And then there's the staple food.
Lu Xu originally wanted to put a boiled egg, but he didn't know if there was a place to throw the egg shell, so let's make a pancake and hold the egg first, and then decide whether to bring it or not after seeing the situation.
In order to be inconspicuous, he also cut the cake into palm-sized pieces, uncovered them into several layers, and put fried eggs in them and sprinkled sesame seeds.
Finally, it's time for the snack.
There are still small thumb-sized twists at home that I haven't eaten and put them on.
Yan Junqi had expected that Lu Xu would prepare food for him according to the picnic standard, and he was not too surprised to see this, so he put one of the two small bags into his cuffs.
