Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

After the first person spoke, it was none other than the second generation of nobles who spoke next.

"Brother Cui is right. We are here to study."

The first one to speak was Cheng Chuliang. As the second generation who came from a small clothes to eat and opened his mouth, he naturally had never done farm work, so he refused immediately without even thinking about it.

"Chu Liang said it well."

"We are here to study, not to work."

"Why do you want us to pick vegetables? Do you think we are easy to bully?"

......

All of a sudden, the noise became a mess, but there was no change in Su Lie's complexion.

"This is the rule of the academy. If you don't accept it, you can stand up and challenge me. If you beat me, you can avoid picking vegetables."

Su Lie's voice raised a lot, overwhelming the chaotic voices of the audience.

"I'll come first!"

The first one to stand up was Cheng Chuliang, who inherited his father's character and was not afraid of anything.

In addition to practicing martial arts since he was a child, he has a lot of confidence in himself. Although he is still underage, ordinary adults are not his opponents.

Shu An, who was watching this scene not far away, couldn't help showing a trace of pity on his face. In fact, the process of picking vegetables was naturally stipulated by him.

First of all, I will teach these aristocrats a lesson on how to be self-reliant.

If he couldn't even take care of himself, then what qualifications did he have to study the books of sages? He didn't want all the people who came out of his academy to be nerds.

As for the contest between Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang, it was a battle without suspense at all. Su Dingfang was originally a warrior born on horseback.

With a wealth of experience in the battlefield, and during this period of time, it is not uncommon to compete with the guards. How can Cheng Chuliang be comparable in strength.

"what!"

"It hurts, it hurts, take it easy!"

It didn't take long for a scream to be heard, and within two or three strikes, Su Ding conveniently found an opportunity to capture Cheng Chuliang.

Su Dingfang was far superior to Cheng Chuliang in terms of strength, skill, and experience. In addition, Su Dingfang just wanted to stand up, and Cheng Chuliang undoubtedly sent it to his door.

"I don't know if anyone else wants to try it?"

Su Dingfang grabbed Cheng Chuliang with one hand, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone present.

Of course, it is mainly for the noble children of aristocratic families. If they are farmers' children, they don't know how to pick vegetables, and this is even their strength.

Li Tai didn't say anything because of his experience in picking vegetables, and this was his own choice.

"Here you are not some Yue king, just a student Li Tai."

He didn't forget what Grandpa An said before, and the belief that other people can do well, why he can't do well, made Li Tai have the idea of ​​not admitting defeat.

The scene was quiet because of Su Dingfang's strike. Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yiai, who had wanted to provoke before, took two steps back after seeing Cheng Chuliang's miserable state.

"The number of vegetables you pick determines how much you will have for lunch."

Su Dingfang's voice sounded again, not everyone cared about this sentence.

For example, those aristocratic families and noble children didn't pay attention to this sentence, thinking that Su Dingfang was just scaring them.

It was already good for them to be able to pick vegetables, and it was impossible for them to pick more vegetables, but there was one person who cared.

That was Li Tai. At this moment, the little fat man's eyes lit up. He would not forget to ask Grandpa An how the food in the academy cafeteria was.

Grandpa An said that he was the chef of the Shu Mansion before, and Li Tai felt a little hungry after thinking of this place.

Shu'an's vegetable garden is much larger than imagined, covering an area of ​​several acres, not to mention there are orchards and the like.

Although it is spring, many vegetables in Shu'an's vegetable garden are already ripe.

This is because of the greenhouse. The greenhouse is not something that can only be realized by future generations. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, there was a similar application, which is the prototype of the greenhouse.

Of course, the only problem is that it needs to invest a lot of money. Fortunately, Shu An was not short of money at the time.

Passing the path in the field, it was also a little strange for a group of people to see the lush green vegetables.

At this time, the scholars who looked like scholars had an extra basket in their hands, which can be said to look a little funny.

After arriving at the vegetable garden, Li Tai entered it first, which made many people's eyes fall.

"Is this still His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"

Especially Du He said with a hint of disbelief on his face, but no one answered him this question.

Soon a group of people entered the vegetable garden, no matter they were active or passive, they could not escape this disaster.

The children from the farming family started directly and picked them carefully, while the faces of those children from noble families were much bitterer.

Seeing some wet soil here, and occasionally some small insects crawling over it, this is very ugly to the faces of the few people who grew up in rich clothes and fine clothes.

Shu An's figure did not know when he appeared on the edge of the vegetable garden. Seeing several aristocratic families and noble children, resting after picking a leaf or two, he couldn't help smiling.

Don't blame him if you pick less, if you don't have food to eat, but of course there are two people who caught his attention.

One of them was Ma Zhou, who was recommended by Xungui. He came from a poor family and was no stranger to picking vegetables.

There is another person who is none other than Pei Xingjian. Although he is young, but there is a trace of determination on his face, he is not familiar with picking vegetables from the beginning.

By the time he gradually became proficient, Pei Xingjian even picked more than some children from farming families.

Shu An couldn't help but nodded his head. It seemed that this person really followed the rules set by the academy with all his heart, rather than just doing things in a perfunctory manner.

Chapter 94 Contrast, Injury

College canteen

The tables and chairs here are not Eight Immortals tables and chairs, but similar to modern canteens, the only difference is that they are all made of wood.

According to the number of vegetables picked before, each of them received a brand with a different serial number. Unexpectedly, the number one was not someone else, but Li Tai.

You must know that many people couldn't believe it, especially those aristocratic families and honored children, their faces showed an expression of disbelief.

"Your Highness, why did you pick so many?"

Cheng Chuliang and the others couldn't help but ran to Li Tai and asked in a low voice, with a hint of curiosity in their words.

"It's good to call me Li Tai in the academy. As for picking so many, you will know later."

Li Tai first frowned slightly, but then revealed a mysterious smile on his face and said, he didn't think that the academy's system was just talk.

Cheng Chuliang and the others looked at each other, a little puzzled, but they didn't say much.

"Follow the number to pick up the meal!"

Su Lie's voice sounded, because he was tired from the car ride and spent two hours in the vegetable garden.

So no matter who is hungry, his chest is on his back, especially those children from aristocratic families who have never done this kind of work.

Everyone was weak, and Cheng Chuliang and the others were not much better. Although they were lazy at work, don't forget that they were born in martial arts and had a lot of appetite.

"Number 21!"

A voice sounded, and Su Lie took an oval plate from a cook.

White rice occupies half of the top, and the rest is some vegetables, and there is a small bowl of radish soup, but there are not many radishes in the soup.

Cheng Chuliang, who was chatting with Baolin's second room, couldn't help but be taken aback. Isn't number 21 himself?

Afterwards, he hurriedly came to Su Lie, and the food was served. Although there was no meat, don't forget that there was little meat in the whole era.

The emperor's family can't eat it every day, let alone ordinary courtiers, so Cheng Chuliang took it without any doubts.

"NO.20!"

"NO.19!"

Su Lie's voice sounded, and next was Fang Yi'ai and Yuchi Baolin. The three of them can be said to be on par. Ma Zhou, who was originally in the same group as Cheng Chuliang, had already chosen to work alone.

Shu An came to the cafeteria early, with a smile on his face, there was no concept of a cafeteria at this time.

But it is not difficult to understand according to the literal meaning, it is a place dedicated to eating.

When the number reached NO.15, I found that there was one or two pieces of minced meat in my soup, although I didn't know what kind of meat it was.

But it would be nice to have meat to eat, and there was a hint of joy on the face of this aristocratic child.

At this time, the people present did not notice the small difference, but when the number reached ten, everything changed.

Because of a faint smell of meat, it was a farm boy who took the plate, with a trace of restraint on his face.

"Why do they have meat and we don't!"

Cheng Chuliang said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The eyes of the surrounding people also fell on Su Lie, obviously there was also some atmosphere.

"I said before that how much vegetables you pick will affect your lunch, won't you forget it?"

Facing the dissatisfied faces, Su Lie spoke slowly without any fluctuation, with a hint of a smile in his words.

He has long seen the master's intentions, and has dug a hole here to wait, but these young people are all self-righteous.

After the words fell, Cheng Chuliang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they seemed to remember that they had indeed said this sentence before, and their faces turned red.

As the numbers advanced, more intense aromas came out one after another, and the appearance of the braised pork was good, which made Cheng Chuliang and others swallow their saliva all of a sudden.

It looks so fragrant and delicious!

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with them. When it was Li Tai's turn, there was not only a small half plate of braised pork on the plate, but also a deep-fried fish the size of a palm.

Even Li Tai's eyes couldn't help but shine, and there was a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"What, there are fish!"

When Li Tai came to sit down near the students, the sharp-eyed people naturally saw Li Tai's food.

For a while, many people looked at Li Tai enviously, even Cheng Chuliang and others were no exception, the original fragrance was very strong with the top ten people.

Not to mention that fish meat is even rarer in this era, and it is still fried fish, which looks like a piece of gold. Whether it is the appearance or other things, it has attracted many people's attention.

As the meal began, the entire cafeteria fell into a double sky of ice and fire, especially the six people with the bottom number.

At the time of NO.15, at least a little minced meat was found, which was so good that it could be regarded as meat, and it could be regarded as a satisfying craving.

However, when they saw the faces of the first eleven who were spitting and gorging, the people behind couldn't help but feel that they were all bad.

"Chu Liang, let's get top ten next time."

Yuchi Baolin swallowed her saliva and said out loud, obviously her stomach was a little disappointing.

"Uh-huh!"

Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but nodded quickly, his expression didn't seem to change, but his eyes couldn't help but drifted to other places.

Everyone has different ideas, but secretly decided that in order to eat meat, they need to work harder next time.

Shu An saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and the smile on his face became stronger. This was just the beginning.

After all, it is impossible for the academy to pick vegetables all the time, but there are things to do such as boiling water, weeding, planting trees, etc., and even opening up wasteland.

Of course, these people with honorable backgrounds must have an advantage, but Shu An doesn't care, sometimes he will judge by Wendou.

On the first day of the academy, Shu An didn't want to teach too much, just let these people get used to the environment first.

However, Li Tai did a good job of procrastinating. Before that, Shu An told Li Tai about the rules of many academies.

And Li Tai also insisted on entering the academy, it can be said that there was a kind of stubbornness, which made Shu An's appreciation of this little fat man Ping Aji rise a lot.

"Perhaps in the future among Wugou's three sons, Qingque will be the best."

Shu An thought silently, the future Tang Gaozong has not yet been born, but a few days ago, some people from the palace came to announce the good news.

It is said that Li Shimin was very happy that his eldest grandson Wugou was pregnant, and he even hosted a banquet for all the officials, which was rare and generous.

Of course, he was also invited to a banquet, but he refused, of course in private, Li Shimin naturally sent Li Junxian to ventilate first.

If he is willing, he will naturally have his invitation card, if he is not willing, there will be no invitation. Presumably Li Shimin is also afraid that if he refuses the invitation, he will look ugly.

Chapter 95 Li Tai's Curiosity

For several days in a row, the life of the students in the academy has been miserable, or some can't bear it.
