Chapter 265 It’s time to go to school
Jingzhen automatically ignored his burning gaze and walked into the courtyard holding Baoya's hand.
Yun Chenglu said with a sullen face behind them: "Brother, Baoya is my sister after all."
After not seeing each other for such a long time, can't he be close to his sister?
Yun Chenglu rarely called him Senior Brother. Jing Zhen glanced at him sideways, his expression unchanged: "So?"
So he can't even hug me?
The lonely king's condition was similar to Yun Chenglu's. He surrounded Baoya and Jingzhen's feet, always trying to throw himself into their arms.
"Second brother, come in quickly." One of Baoya's little hands was held by Jingzhen, and the other little hand waved hard towards Yun Chenglu.
The gloom on Yun Chenglu's face suddenly disappeared: "I'm here! Baoya, how is the capital? Is it fun? Did you just get back?"
The three of them sat around the stone table in the courtyard, and Yun Chenglu chattered excitedly.
Gu Wang squatted at Baoya's feet and rubbed her short legs with his head, which made Baoya giggle and reach out to stroke his fur.
And its real little owner Jing Zhen was actually left out.
"So, Master will be back a few days later?"
After listening to Bao Ya talk about the many interesting things that happened during her trip to the capital, Yun Chenglu noticed that Nan Xuan did not come back with them.
Jing Zhen nodded: "It will only be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You and Baoya can go home later. I will take care of the orchard and vegetable garden."
It would be good to have someone take over, so Yun Chenglu agreed immediately: "Okay."
But the lonely king had a wolf-like face that was so long that even Baoya could see his reluctance.
I patted its head and asked, "What's wrong with you? Brother Xiaojing is back, but you're still not happy?"
The lonely king wagged his tail vigorously, then moved closer to Jingzhen and rubbed against his legs.
It's not that it's unhappy, it's just that it's afraid of being alone with Jingzhen in Taohuayuan.
Jingzhen's bad luck was better when Nanxuan was around, but now that it's just the two of them, no one knows what bad things will happen.
But it was a wolf, and when it opened its mouth it could only howl "Awoo" and "Awoo". Baoya couldn't understand it, so she had to give up.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu sat for a while, then went down the mountain and went home. Jingzhen took Gu Wang and accompanied them to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the backs of the two people, one tall and one short, the poor lonely king squatted beside Jingzhen's legs, whimpered, and wanted to go home with her.
If I go to the Yun family and get tormented by that little girl Yun Yue, at most I'll just lose some wolf hair. But if I follow the young master, I might even lose half my life.
The sun sets in the west, and the last ray of light also falls.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu walked into the Yun family's gate, and the courtyard was immediately filled with laughter.
On the other side, in the capital, two major events were spreading like wildfire, both related to the Rong family.
The first thing was that the wife of the old Pavilion Master Rong of Yaoxian Hall suddenly recovered from her illness, and the whole mansion was filled with joy.
Another thing was that the Wanshan Gang, which had been entrenched in the deep mountains outside Kuizhou, was wiped out by a group of people passing by. This group of people was riding in the Rong family's carriage, and their attendants were all Rong family guards.
The Wanshan Gang's leader was gone, along with a large group of brothers. The remaining small fry, seeing the situation was not good, all dispersed and sought their own livelihoods. The imperial court was too lazy to kill them all.
In terms of distance, Kuizhou is the provincial capital closest to the capital and is also the only way to enter the capital.
Therefore, the Wanshan Gang can be considered a roadblock on the road to Beijing.
Because the local mountains are dangerous and happen to be between Kuizhou and the capital, there is no village or shop nearby. The leader of the Wanshan Gang is very cunning. The court sent people to suppress the bandits several times but failed. It was not easy to send more people to guard the place, so they had to give up.
Therefore, most business travelers try to pass by during the day.
Now that the Wanshan Gang is gone, the court has finally put its mind at ease.
The emperor was very pleased and sent his trusted confidant, Eunuch Wei, to personally deliver 100 taels of gold as a reward.
However, Pavilion Master Rong didn't even let Eunuch Wei in through the main door. He just kicked him out with a cold face.
The emperor was not angry. Instead, he praised the Rong family for their integrity and their disregard for money. He also had a plaque made for them and personally wrote the inscription: "High moral character, and hatred of evil."
The plaque was hung at the entrance of Yaoxian Pavilion. Since it was written by the emperor himself, the plaque naturally had to be hung above the three big characters "Yaoxian Pavilion".
Now Rong Bing couldn't take it down and say he didn't want it, but ever since the plaque was hung up, Rong Bing's brows never relaxed every day when he went to Yaoxian Pavilion, and his face was dark all day long.
Everyone in the Yaoxian Pavilion was trembling with fear.
…
On the second floor of the Yun family's main house, Baoya was packing a basket of books in her room that she would take to school the next day.
The book baskets were woven by Zhao Zhilan a long time ago. Each of the three maids had one, and they were both delicate and sturdy.
Yun Chenglu chose to learn martial arts wholeheartedly from Nan Xuan, so he returned home this time because Baoya had returned from the capital, so the family could have a small gathering.
In a few days, when Baoya goes to the town to study, he will go back to Taohuayuan and start practicing martial arts hard.
She was packing up her books and brushes and inkstone when the door knocked a few times.
Then, Yunyue poked her little head in.
"Baoya, have you packed all your things?"
Baoya nodded: "Everything is packed."
"Let me see what you brought." Yun Yue's black eyes sparkled.
Baoya handed her the basket of books to look at.
Books, rice paper, brushes, inkstones, ink, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" given to her by her eldest brother are all necessary for studying.
"Is that all?" Yun Yue seemed a little disappointed.
Baoya was puzzled: "What else? What do I need to bring?"
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Fourth sister, what did you bring?"
"Besides the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, there are also a few packets of flower seeds and rapeseed." Yun Yue said, "Oh, yes, there are also dried fruits, candies, and snacks."
Baoya: ...
Do I need to bring things like flower seeds and rapeseed to the academy?
Seeing her frowning and puzzled, Yunyue said, "Dad has planted some vegetables in the greenhouse these days, but some of them are not growing well and keep dying. I want to ask the master."
"Does Mr. Xiao Qi understand these?" Baoya was a little unsure. Don't teachers in the academy only teach reading and writing?
"But my elder brother said that when you go to the academy, if you don't understand something, you should ask the teacher. Don't be afraid to ask. The teachers are all very knowledgeable." Yun Yue said seriously.
Baoya thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"So, do you also need to bring dried fruits, candies, and snacks?"
They are going there to study, not to eat, right?
Yunyue smiled and pointed her little finger at Baoya's forehead: "Silly boy, you're such a foodie. What if we get hungry in the academy? We must bring some food with us!"
Well, that makes so much sense!
After seeing Yunyue off, Baoya rummaged around in her room again and stuffed a lot of things into her book basket.
A half-woven bracelet, a half-folded paper crane, she thought about the things she didn't know how to make, and wanted to put in the ingredients of a dish she hadn't been able to cook recently.
But the book basket was already full, so he had to give up.
As for food, just like Yunyue, she packed a lot of snacks, candies, and dried fruits all at once.
