Food for the people

There was a misunderstanding between the two of them, but Qiao Yu didn't get to the bottom of it, not knowing that he was unknowingly deepening the misunderstanding.

Aunt Qiufeng came out to get things, didn't see Song Siming's person, and asked a few questions with puzzled gestures, why did she leave as soon as she came.

Qiao Yu shook his head and shrugged, he didn't understand why Song Siming came here.

Poor Song Siming came here in a hurry, and then went back in a hurry. When he got home, he saw that Grandma Song hadn't recovered from her senses. After being asked a few questions, it was difficult to talk about Qiao Yu's affairs casually. Don't think about anything, go back to the room and go to sleep with your head covered.

Qiao Yu has been obsessed with making money recently, and every minute and every second feels precious, so he asked Aunt Qiufeng to help him look after the house. He first went to a blacksmith shop to have the grater made, and then found a pastry shop to buy it. I ordered two pastries, and planned to take Qiao Ling to visit Songyu Academy tomorrow.

After wandering outside for a couple of times, I went back to cut bread and ravioli with Aunt Qiufeng. Although it wasn't a lot of work, it was definitely not idle for a moment.

As Qiao Yu walked, he thought, perhaps this matter of opening a restaurant should be summed up.

Now all the silver in his hand is almost ten taels. It may take a few to send Qiao Ling to the private school. The rest, at the rate of three or four hundred wen a day, will be able to take over the Zhao family in a short time. The borrowed 15 taels of silver have been repaid. At that time, I can save some money and think about opening a restaurant. I can rent a shop. If it is not enough, I can really ask Mr. Yan to buy a share. No matter what, I can't afford it. Yes, as long as the dividends are paid, Qiao Yu is not afraid of being in debt to him.

Because they planned to go to the academy the next day, when sending Aunt Qiufeng home, Qiao Yu told her that she could come later the next day. They planned to go early in the morning and set up a stall at noon.

The next day, Qiao Yu didn't stay in bed because he had business to do. Now that the weather is getting warmer every day, and the dawn is getting up earlier, Qiao Yu got up early and cooked two bowls of fried egg noodles. Good stuff is out the door.

Qiao Yu of Songyu Academy had already inquired about the location, it was on North Street.The place is quite remote, and if you go further north, you will go out of the North City Gate.There are no residents around, so the place is relatively quiet. It is a bit far from West Street, but it can be reached on foot. It is said that there are wing rooms in the academy. If you live far away, you can apply to live in the wing room of the academy with your husband, but because the wing rooms are limited , so only a few people can live together, and no matter what the academy eats, they have to bring their own lunch from home. If they live in the wing room of the academy, they have to bring their own rice and cook it by themselves in the small kitchen of the academy.

If the family has some conditions, it is generally not allowed to let their children live in the wing of the academy, after all, they have to live with others.

Qiao Ling doesn't really mind living together, but his home is not too far from the academy, and Qiao Ling has never left home in his old age, so even if he doesn't mind, Qiao Yu is not going to let him live Going to the side room of the academy, although my home is not too close, it must be much more convenient and comfortable than other places.

Of course, whether to consider it or not is a matter after Qiao Ling can enter Songyu Academy.

It took the two of them half an hour to walk slowly to the gate of Songyu Academy. They left early, and the sun had not yet risen when they arrived at the gate. Hanging on the top of the head, the blue bricks and black tiles exude a simple and quiet taste.

Qiao Ling glanced at his brother, with a nervous expression on his face. He knew that Qiao Yu wanted him to enter the academy very much, and he himself wanted to enter the academy very much. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. It's time to disappoint my brother for nothing.

Qiao Yu knew what he was thinking at a glance, reached out and rubbed his head, and said, "Don't be nervous, as long as you play well at your own level, it doesn't matter if you can't get in. I want you to study hard, not to let you You must obtain fame, but I hope you will have more choices in the future. But reading is not the only way out, so don't be too stressed."

Qiao Ling let out a deep breath when he heard the words, nodded at Qiao Yu, then took a few steps forward and knocked on the door of the academy.

After a while, the door was slowly opened from the inside, and a young man not much older than Qiao Ling showed his head. His eyes were black and bright like grapes. At first glance, he looked as delicate as a girl.He looked at Qiao Ling and then at Qiao Yu and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qiao Ling asked, "Is Mr. Songyu there? I'm here to study."

The boy pondered for a moment, then asked again: "What's your name?"

Qiao Ling replied: "My name is Qiao Ling, and this is my brother Qiao Sheng."

The boy pondered for a moment, then said, "You guys wait here, I'll go ask."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qiao Ling to speak, he slammed the door again in front of him.

The young man went through several doors in the middle of the academy and entered the backyard. He looked into one of the rooms and saw no one. Then he ran to the stove and saw a figure standing behind the stove. Fiddle with something, make a stove smoky, choke to death.

The boy didn't want to go in to get his eyes dirty, so he stood outside and shouted: "Father, someone is looking for you outside, saying that you are here to study."

A man in a green shirt came out from behind the smoke-filled stove. His face was extremely gentle and delicate, and he looked exactly like a boy, but he didn't look like he would have such a big son. The face looked rather youthful.

"Didn't it mean that the academy is full of people this year? Why are there still people coming?"

The young man pointed to a side room on the east side, and said: "It should be full, but Daddy said that last night Prince Yan wrote a letter, saying that a young man named Qiao will come to the academy to study in the near future, so the academy made an exception to accept him. Daddy agreed."

The man in the green shirt frowned immediately when he heard the words. He had a delicate face, and frowning didn't have much prestige, and he said: "The academy never accepts people outside the rules, why didn't your big daddy tell me?"

The boy blinked, "Didn't Daddy say it last night, when I went to your room, I heard you talking, so I must not be asleep yet."

The man in the green shirt paused, remembering something, and looked a little embarrassed, so he didn't say anything more to him, and replied: "Okay, don't talk, I understand, you go and invite them in, and read in the front yard." Don wait, I'll come as soon as I pack up."

He messed around in the kitchen for a while, and didn't know what he had done, but wiped the black ash all over his face. He would definitely not be able to see guests like this, so he had to go back to his room to change his clothes.

The boy responded, and went back to the door to open it.

"Come in, my dad will change his clothes and come right away."

The two brothers entered the gate of the academy together with the young man. The inside of the academy was no different from the outside. The place was not too big, but the layout was very pleasing to the eye. A few clusters of green bamboos were planted beside the academy. There is a picture of writing on every wall, some of which Qiao Yu can recognize and some of which are not, but they are all very beautifully written, and it can be seen that the plaque outside should be from the same person.

The boy brought the two into the study hall, poured a glass of water for each of them, asked them to wait for a while, and then went out.

Qiao Yu looked around and looked at the study hall. The size of the study hall is not big. The two rows behind are full of bookshelves. There are more than ten chapters of wooden tables. The tables look a little old, but there is no phenomenon of missing arms or legs. Some tables have obviously been repaired and re-varnished, which looks a little different from other places.

As soon as the two of them finished watching the environment of the study hall, a man in green shirt slowly walked into the door of the study hall.

Qiao Yu stood up and asked with a smile, "Is it Mr. Songyu? We are here to study, sorry to bother you sir."

The man originally heard that the person who came here was Tuo Yanwang Jiasai who came to study. He didn't know much about Yan Wang, so he preconceived the image of being wealthy, rich and full of guts. He didn't like the two of them before entering the door. Now he called After meeting each other, he found that not only did the visitor not have the problems he thought, but he was very courteous. He couldn't help but feel that he was being too extreme, and the indifference on his face eased a bit, and he asked, "I'm Song Yu, both of you are Came to study?"

Qiao Yu said, "No, it's Brother Ling who is studying, and I just came with him."

The man nodded, and asked again: "Since you two come to Songyu Academy to study, you must know the rules of Songyu Academy, right?"

Qiao Ling nodded proactively: "Mr. Hui, I understand."

The first thing Songyu Academy does not accept is that it does not accept elders with bad attitudes and disrespect. Seeing that Qiao Ling's behavior is not at all wrong, he is satisfied with him, and said: "That's fine, secondly, if you want to join me This academy still needs to take a basic examination, do you have any objections?"

Qiao Ling shook his head obediently: "Mr. Hui, I have no objection."

The man continued: "Then please ask your brother to avoid it for a while, and invite him in after the school exam is over."

Qiao Ling looked back at Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu gave him a thumbs up, made a cheering gesture, and then took the initiative to leave the study hall and closed the door for the two of them.

It was said that it was a school test, but in fact the master didn't ask many questions, and he didn't ask Qiao Ling to write with a pen. After all, most of the people who came to the academy came to enlightenment, so the school test was mainly to test the school's attitude and conduct.

The man asked questions one by one for the school test, and Qiao Ling answered in every detail, and the man was very satisfied with every answer.

The favorability of the student who came from Jiasai has gradually increased in my heart, and I finally opened the door quite satisfied.

"Your brother has completed all the school exams, and I am very satisfied. When the academy officially starts, let him come with him."

Although Qiao Yu had great confidence in Qiao Ling, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the result, and then handed the pastry he had prepared to the man.

"This is a little snack I prepared. Just now, I was afraid that my husband would think that I intended to bribe, so I didn't dare to take it out. Now that Xiaoling has finished his school exams, he dared to take it out for him to taste."

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the packaging of the pastry, but he couldn't make much expression on his face, so he reluctantly took it after a while of refusal.

Then he politely sent Qiao Yu and the others out of the academy gate.

His eyes sent Qiao Yu and the others far away, and then he closed the door, and shouted happily inside: "Finally, I don't need to make breakfast today, Xiao'er, come out and eat pastries."
