The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

The two of them almost became a fixture of the street. Everyone was curious about how wealthy a family had to be to own a donkey cart.

Those gazes seemed to poke a hole in them, and many people stretched their necks to look at Ni'er and Lao San.

Master Li entered the archway with the four big characters of Jinshan Academy inscribed on it. Behind the door was a stretch of stone steps that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Just as its name suggests, the academy is located on the hillside, which is called Panjin Mountain.

From a distance, it can be seen where students study and teachers give lectures. It is a building made of blue bricks and wood with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

After walking for a long time, Master Li, whose back and waist were already sore, finally passed here. There were three buildings behind.

On the left is where the students live, on the right is the dining room, and directly opposite is where the headmaster and a group of teachers usually stay.

Some people greeted him along the way. The students here were very familiar with him and all knew that he was the headmaster's cousin.

The headmaster heard some noise at the door, looked up, and found Master Li right in front of him. He was delighted, "Cousin, you came at the right time. Today happens to be the students' holiday, so we should go and relax."

Master Li sat down, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water, as if he were at home. "Cousin, I want to ask you something."

"You've heard about the recent incident with the tofu at Lai Fu Restaurant in town."

The headmaster nodded. How could his cousin, who was oblivious to the world outside and devoted to reading sage books, be interested in such things? "Yes, almost everyone in the town knows about it."

Master Li hesitated for a moment, worried about hearing bad things about Niu Xiaoni's family, but he finally asked, "The one who supplied Lai Fu Restaurant and sold the poisoned soy milk is actually the same family. Does my cousin know about this?"

The headmaster hesitated, frowning slightly, "I only heard that the two families came from Niujia Village, and both had the surname Niu. I didn't know they were actually one family. It is said that the nine sons of a dragon are all different, and it is possible for one family to have such a big difference."

One of the dean's favorite students knocked on the door and came in, holding a book in his hand, and it seemed that he had questions to ask.

Today is a holiday, so there are not many people in the academy. Most students live far from home, and it takes most of the day to go back and forth. Or students who are short of money and want to save on travel expenses will not go home.

Master Li had heard of this student and always heard words of praise for him from his cousin.

My cousin is a man who is very frugal with words and never praises others easily. I have only had a few contacts with this student, but I am somewhat curious about my cousin's evaluation of him.

As soon as he entered the room, he looked at me calmly. I was wearing a patched coarse linen shirt. Although the weather is getting warmer now, it will be a little chilly at night, and this shirt cannot resist such chill.

It should be more suitable to wear in a few months. He is very polite and modest, with peace in his eyes, without any arrogance or flattery.

"Principal, Master Li, sorry to bother you. I have a question for you."

The headmaster waved his hand to let the man in, "Cousin, this is the Runsheng I often mentioned to you."

Master Li did not participate in the discussion between the two, but he discovered from their conversation that this student had profound thoughts and could give new and original interpretations to some classics that he thought he had understood thoroughly.

Moreover, he spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Generally, children from poorer families would not have such a demeanor. He will definitely have a promising future.

Master Li thought that his students should know more about this matter, so when Runsheng wanted to leave, he stopped him and asked, "Have you heard about the recent poisonous soy milk incident?"

Runsheng was stunned. The dean's cousin was also such a gossiper. However, he had indeed heard of it.

Whether studying in the academy, eating at the dining hall, or even resting in the dormitory, all I could hear were my classmates' discussions. I had no choice but to say, "I've heard about it."

Master Li's eyes lit up. He thought he could ask for his opinion as a reference on whether he should accept Niu Xiaoni's brother as a student.

"The one who supplied Lai Fu Restaurant and sold the poisonous soy milk is a family. Although they have separated, the elders' character is still there. It just so happens that Niu Xiaoni's brother, who supplied Lai Fu Restaurant, wants to come to my place for education. I don't know whether I should accept this student."

Hu Runsheng knew that the master was very strict in accepting students, and he himself had to go through a lot of examinations to enter the academy.

Somehow, when I heard the name Niu Xiaoni, I thought of my sister who helped me in the bookstore that day.

I heard from my classmates that the first person to make tofu was a girl, and the delivery man was the girl's father. I really regretted that I was too excited that day and forgot to ask the benefactor's name.

I might as well confirm my guess. "The Niu Xiaoni you mentioned is about ten years old. She is missing her front teeth when she smiles. Her top is crescent white and her pants are dark green. The details of her clothes are very clever and unforgettable. She is most likely studying medicine."

Master Li remembered that he met Ni'er on the road that day wearing the same clothes. She looked so messy and fluttering around like a headless fly. He still found it a little funny when he thought about it.

Yes, she was heading in that direction, which should be Doctor Zhao's home. Everything matched up, so it should be the same person. "Yes, you are talking about Niu Xiaoni."

Runsheng was very excited when he learned the name of his benefactor. If it weren't for her, he would probably not be able to afford even the tuition.

Thanks to my benefactor's words at that time, I can still study in the academy, and in a few months, I can take the final test for the Tongsheng examination.

If everything goes well, I will pass the exam and become a scholar, which will bring me one step closer to realizing my dream.

"At that time, I saw a book in a bookstore, but I was short of money. My benefactor was looking for a calligraphy book to help him get started. When he learned that I was a student of Jinshan Academy, he asked me to recommend a book."

"She wanted to use this as an excuse to make up for the money I spent on the book. But the bookstore owner found out that the popular calligraphy was from my hand, so he raised the price for me and wanted me to continue selling it. If it weren't for my benefactor, I would probably not be able to pay my tuition and would have to farm at home."

Runsheng's eyes were red with excitement when he talked about it. It was a luxury for him to be able to continue his studies and go to school. Fortunately, his benefactor helped him at the critical moment, and he is now where he is now.

Feeling that Master Li didn't like being influenced by others' thoughts, he didn't mention Niu Li's matter. He just talked about this matter and let the person in front of him make his own judgment.

Mr. Li could fully understand Hu Runsheng's feelings, as he had also experienced such difficult times.

Runsheng is his cousin's favorite disciple, and he is the one with the greatest hope of passing the exam this time. If he has to go back home to farm due to financial difficulties, and is unable to study and take the exam, he will miss the chance to become a scholar, which will be a pity for many people.
