Chapter 134 Two Babies Fighting for Food in the Dining Hall
Pei Yanli was probably used to living in the small house in Pingxi Lane.
This place is far from the imperial palace, and also far from Qingyun Lane, Pingbu Lane and other powerful circles.
Living here is quiet and comfortable.
The Regent's Palace has been unsealed, and he has hired new people to look after it.
But he didn't want to live there anymore.
Once he moved into the Regent's Palace, he would have to bear that title all day long and be secretly watched by various forces.
All the time.
You can’t do this, you can’t do that.
What gave him the most headache was the eighty invitations that had to be sent to the palace every day.
No matter they were officials in the same dynasty or wealthy families, they all wanted to establish a relationship with the Regent's Palace through a post.
He was overwhelmed.
You can't reject everything, nor can you see everything.
Just dealing with the ways of the world is enough to consume all his energy.
Cheng Shuyi was also well aware of this, and she also resisted moving into the Regent's Palace.
She felt tired just thinking about it.
Cheng Shuyi didn't dare to go to Zhulou often because those ladies would come to talk to her in the name of buying things.
Whenever you have power, there will be countless people outside your door with unclear intentions, trying to find ways to get in.
Perhaps they were still young and didn't know the power, so Pei Yanli and Cheng Shuyi tried their best to avoid him.
A small house also has its advantages.
At least the relationship between children and parents will be closer.
"Your Majesty, how about we go to Yun City?"
Looking at the bricklayers who had just started working, Cheng Shuyi couldn't stay in the house or in the yard.
In that case, they might as well go back to Yun City while the children are away.
"Since Qiqi and Xuxu are not home hunting, and we don't need someone to look after the children, why not take this opportunity to go there?"
"First, we can buy new beds and furniture for Qiqi and Xuxu, and second, we can go look at houses. How about that?"
Pei Yanli also wanted to enjoy some time alone with Cheng Shuyi while the children were away.
If the children were next door, they would not dare to let themselves go at night.
"Very well, then I'll come back tomorrow." Pei Yanli said, "I will send someone to the palace to tell them that I won't be attending court tomorrow."
His heart began to beat fast when he thought about staying in a hotel at night without his children around.
Cheng Shuyi hesitated for a moment, "Should we take Mo Xiao with us? He seems to be quite depressed lately."
Mo Xiao has been coming to Cheng's house frequently recently, but leaves after a while.
Every time he comes, he seems to be in a bad mood.
I don’t know what Miss Song said in the letter she wrote to him last time.
In fact, Mo Xiao was depressed not because of Miss Song, but because...
Pei Xiang!
I don’t know what medicine that girl took was wrong, she ran to the general’s mansion all day long.
Also send him a message.
Either he was invited to the farm to enjoy the scenery, or he was invited to the teahouse to taste tea.
When he went to the Regent's Palace before, he had never seen Pei Xiang be so warm to him.
What's even stranger is!
Every time he said he was going to Cheng's house to see the children or Pei Yanli, he invited her to go with him, after all, he was his brother.
But when Pei Xiang heard this, he found excuses to refuse them all.
Mo Xiao was puzzled.
When Pei Yanli heard that there was someone in the way, his smile immediately fell.
“No!”
Why bring something that is in the way?
The two men told the bricklayer to do it themselves.
Pei Yanli found a guard to watch over them, and the two of them set off for Yun City.
-
Huguo Temple.
The carriage of Baima Academy stopped at the foot of Huguo Temple.
The accompanying teachers came to wake up the drowsy students in the carriage.
Huguo Temple is quite far from the capital, and the transportation is slow. People who come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha usually stay in the temple for one night and go back the next day.
I don’t know whether it is to highlight the status of Huguo Temple or to test the character of those who worship Buddha.
There are a total of 1,088 stone steps in front of the Huguo Temple!
The stone steps are all paved with stone slabs, bearing the traces of time, and worn smooth by people who come to worship Buddha.
Baima Academy, the scapegoat, had to lag behind Yingtian Academy during the hunting expedition.
The stone steps were filled with carriages from Yingtian Academy.
The carriage from the White Horse Academy could only be parked far behind, about a mile away from the stone steps.
The children carried their own big and small bags up the mountain.
The two younger ones, Qi Qi and Xu Xu, are now far behind.
Lin Yanzhi and Shen Huaichang took care of their younger siblings. Even though their own burdens were already heavy enough, they each shared a burden with their younger siblings.
The four of them climbed very slowly. When they reached the top of the mountain, it was already dark and they were sweating profusely.
The dormitories have also been selected.
Xu Xu was fine, as there were not many female students in the two academies.
She lived in the female students' dormitory with other students from the same academy.
At least the bunk bed is wide enough and there are enough quilts.
My brother is in a terrible situation.
Two people have to sleep in one bunk bed and share one quilt.
They arrived late and were ostracized by the people from Yingtian Academy, so they slept in a small dormitory with loose doors and windows and a drafty atmosphere.
"Don't clean up yet, the dining hall is ready for dinner!"
I don't know who shouted this.
Chang Ge'er immediately grabbed Ruqi's hand and pulled him out.
Yan Ge'er was faster than the other two. He rushed to the courtyard of the women's dormitory and stood at the door, shouting anxiously, "Sister Ruxu, come out quickly!"
He was afraid that this little sister would not have enough to eat!
Xu Xu was still making the bed.
When she heard her brother Yanzhi calling her, she jumped off the high kang, put on her shoes and ran out.
The little girl smiled sweetly and said in a crisp, childish voice, "Brother Yanzhi, you..."
Yan Ge'er turned around and squatted, stretching his arms behind him as if he was carrying someone on his back.
"Ruxu, come up quickly!"
The little girl tilted her head, confused for only a moment.
She didn't understand what Brother Yanzhi was going to do, but she still obediently climbed onto his back.
Lin Yanzhi summoned all the energy he had gained from practicing martial arts and ran to the dining hall with his sister on his back.
The vegetarian food in the dining hall is limited, and you won’t be able to eat it if you are late.
"Ah - Brother Yanzhi, your hairpin hurts me so much..."
The little girl hugged him tightly, with her head touching Lin Yanzhi's head.
Men in the Dasheng Dynasty also wore hairpins when they tied their hair. Some were made of gold, some were made of jade, depending on their family conditions.
Lin Yanzhi is active and also practices martial arts, so he usually wears a wooden hairpin.
Hearing that Xu Xu was poked, he said without hesitation: "Sister, please pull it out for me."
From then on, Lin Yanzhi never wore a hairpin again.
In the dining hall of Huguo Temple.
The two academy students who ate dry food in the carriage at noon could tolerate their first meal in the Huguo Temple and ate it with gusto.
Chang Ge'er and Ruqi arrived first and served food to Yan Ge'er and his sister.
The four of them sat together and ate.
In the bowl, there was only a fist-sized amount of rice, as well as three dishes: boiled winter melon, tofu with green onions, and stir-fried bean sprouts.
Really light.
But the two kids were participating in hunting for the first time and eating in the temple for the first time.
Everyone enjoyed the meal!
Two pairs of curious eyes rolled around.
Its mouth was like a little rabbit, sucking and chewing the bean sprouts into its mouth.
They are really looking forward to the next two days!
