Chapter 18: The School's Favorite
Chen Jiayou is said to be a disciple of the academy, but in fact he rarely stays in the academy. He has learned magic well and often follows Fu Yanzhi to fight demons.
Recently, Fu Yanzhi seemed to have started to retreat again, so Chen Jiayou stayed in the school for a few days.
The dining hall for the Fu family students always has a very casual meal time.
Because the Fu family has six large kitchens, either at the top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, there is a small kitchen in the school, but the previous cook opened the lid of the pot while steaming buns and saw a human head jumping out of it, with a thin neck and bared teeth, biting at her.
Although she was rescued by the people nearby, the cook was so frightened that she packed up and ran away at night.
After that, they couldn't recruit a cook, so Butler Liu had to arrange people to go to other kitchens to get food. He wanted to snatch a cook, but no one was willing to come. One reason was that they really couldn't find enough, and the other was that the land of the Fu family was full of spiritual energy and yin energy, and there were demons and monsters everywhere. Fu Yanzhi didn't take any protective measures and told the students that it was a good time to practice.
These disciples did practice, but the servants had a hard time. They would wash clothes every day and end up with an arm, or sweep the floor and the broom would turn into a human head.
In a word, you have to get your own food from now on.
The other big kitchens were too far away, and the students had to eat a lot, so three of them had to run up and down, and it would be very late when they got their meals and came back.
Therefore, the time for dinner depends on how fast the servants can run errands, and everyone is used to it.
Today was the first time that dinner was served on time, and everything else was done on time as well. It was really strange.
After some inquiries, someone learned that a remarkable little maid had come today. She could fly and had brought back several large pots of food on a flying sword.
The news spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon all the students knew about it. Some of them ran to Butler Liu to see the flying maid.
"Oh, you mean early? She just went to the paper-cutting shop at the foot of the mountain and will be back soon."
Half an hour later.
"Oh, early in the morning. I just came back from the paper-cutting shop and went to the top of the mountain to collect winter clothes for the students."
An hour later.
"Oh, so early? She just came back from getting her winter clothes and is off to get her afternoon tea and meals."
Two hours later.
"Oh, good morning! I'm back, I'm back. I'm cleaning the student dormitories. Go and look for those twenty-plus courtyards."
So, on the first day Xie Zao Zao came, he finished the entire three-day work of the school in three hours, and received afternoon tea and dinner as well.
That day, the servants in the school sat in the yard, watching the butterflies flying back and forth. The wind blew gently, and the students urged them to come again and again. They didn't have to do anything, but they felt fulfilled in their hearts, and even heard the sound of butterflies flapping their wings.
The eight people who had been running on Fujia Mountain all day, exposed to rain, wind, sun and ice, had turned themselves into savages, but now, they were liberated.
As Butler Liu ate the freshly delivered afternoon tea, he said to his men, "From now on, anyone who bullies Zao Zao will be our enemy!"
As he was speaking, Xie Zao Zao came back with a notebook in his hand. "I've finished sweeping the twenty-four courtyards. The wells in three courtyards are dry. The fruit trees in two courtyards need watering. The tea in the fourth courtyard is out. The table is broken and needs to be replaced. Also, there are sixty-five students, and there is one extra person's bedding and daily necessities. It's against the rules, so I've taken them back."
Xie Zao Zao said this and threw the extra bedding and daily necessities on the ground.
Min Lu gave it to Song Qiaoyue.
As she was speaking, Song Qiaoyue rushed over angrily: "Xie Zaozao, what are you doing with my quilt?! Who gave you the right to do this?"
Xie Zaozao: Why not just kill him?
It's better to feel pain for a while than to look at this thing.
System: "Host, calm down and think about your space."
Xie Zaozao: “…”
Xie Zaozao: "I took the extra quilt."
"That's mine!"
"So you are extra."
"you!"
Song Qiaoyue was about to raise her hand to hit him again, but Min Lu behind her made a sound and stopped her: "Thank you so early, right? Since you are a servant, you should know your responsibilities."
"A servant's duty? I've read the rules. Simply put, when cleaning, you have to remember to count what's missing or extra in the room. You can't let the students go without anything, and you can't let them take over anything. If you have an extra set of utensils in your room, I'll naturally take it back."
Min Lu is stuck.
"If you insist on one person occupying two sets, I can certainly put them back, but the teachers in the school may not agree."
Min Lu coughed dryly and said, "I gave it to Miss Song. I told Butler Liu about it."
Butler Liu knew how to choose his side at this time: "I thought yours was broken, so I gave you a new one. If you gave it to someone else, I wouldn't agree."
Song Qiaoyue was furious: "You, the Fu family, are so uneducated. Don't you know how to entertain guests?"
The Fu family members who were attacked indiscriminately were all stunned and immediately annoyed.
"What guest? Someone came here out of nowhere, without telling the master or Butler Liu, and came over claiming to be a guest. We won't acknowledge him!"
"What kind of guest are you if you come here and curse at this and that?"
"I, I'm coming to your Fu family to study, and I'm also a student of the Fu family. How can you treat me like this?"
"It's not certain whether you can pass the test in two days!"
Song Qiaoyue was so angry that her hands were shaking: "How dare you, a servant, curse me to fail?"
Min Lu: “…” She wanted to throw this woman out.
Xie Zaozao silently took an apple and sat beside her, crunching the food. She thought to herself that Song Qiaoyue was such a woman that she could really attract hatred for herself without her having to do anything.
Song Qiaoyue argued for a long time, her throat was hoarse, but she couldn't win the argument against these loud-mouthed servants. She turned around and called out to Min Lu, "Senior Sister Min Lu, please come and judge for yourself!"
Min Lu: ...
Looking at the servants' murderous gazes, Min Lu knew that if she continued to protect Song Qiaoyue, she would have to clean her own room starting tomorrow.
Maybe servants in other families don’t have this worry, but their family... is too short of people!
In other families, a mystic can bring at least four or five servants and maids with him when he goes out, and live a very comfortable life. But the Fu family has the most advanced magic skills, so if you want to learn good skills, you have to make do with them.
"Butler Liu is right about this matter. I overstepped my bounds. Miss Song, the assessment is only two days away. Would you mind finding a place to stay on your own for the next few days?"
Song Qiaoyue nearly fainted. She had given Min Lu so many valuable things, and now she was making her climb mountains every day?
Song Qiaoyue was not going to suffer this loss: "Senior Sister Min Lu, when you took my things, you kept saying that I could live in the academy for a few days and that you would take care of everything. Now you want me to run around on my own. Did you throw all the things I gave you before?"
Min Lu's face suddenly burned hot: "You, what are you talking about? I didn't take anything from you! Stop slandering me!"
"You want to default on your debt?"
Song Qiaoyue had long looked down upon Min Lu's behavior. She took things and didn't care about anything else. She also looked down on her at every turn. What use was she to her?
The two of them tore into each other, which was a breathtaking sight.
Xie Zaozao silently took the watermelon from the table and took a bite.
The melon was sweet and seedless, and someone helped cut it, perfect.
I just don't know who will win the fight?
