Chapter 277 Brother Xiaojing changed his mind
As Qi Mo spoke, he walked towards the entrance of the academy with his hands behind his back.
Jingzhen looked at his back as he left angrily, a sly smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Xiaojing." A pair of small hands suddenly grabbed his hanging sleeves.
Baoya looked up at him, puzzled. "Just now on the road, didn't you say you didn't want to come to study? Why did you change your mind again?"
"Um……"
Jing Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Anyway, I have to send you every day. Since you are here, you might as well read along."
So that's how it is.
Baoya was immediately happy: "That's great!"
"How is it?"
Seeing her eyes sparkling, Jingzhen asked her deliberately.
Baoya said, "This way, when I go to Peach Blossom Spring to practice martial arts every day, I can see my second brother; when I come to the academy to study, I can see you, Xiaojing brother, and my eldest brother. People I couldn't see often before, I can see them every day now!"
"Is it just like this? Is it great?" Jing Zhen raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah," Baoya nodded vigorously, "and I've seen you the longest!"
"puff."
For the first time, Jingzhen couldn't help laughing out loud.
He reached out and pinched the round little hair on Baoya's head and said, "You are really... cute."
As he was speaking, the group of scholars who had just come in from outside came in with their heads drooped, and without saying a word, took the food they had just stuffed into the donkey cart.
One of the younger ones even looked up and gave Jingzhen a cold look.
Jing Zhen pursed his lips and said innocently, "Mr. Xiao Qi said so. Isn't this the academy's rule?"
Younger scholar: ...
He took his lotus leaf chicken and left in shame.
These scholars took the food that had just been delivered one by one, and then all went towards the dining hall.
At this moment, Yun Chengfu heard the noise outside and poked his head out from the Qiuzhi Hall.
"Linyuan, what are you doing?"
The young scholar in the blue shirt stopped, shook the paper bag in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Go to the canteen and give food to grandpa and grandma!"
“You’re not…”
After hearing the story of how Baoya bravely protected Zhang Shun without fear of Xu Jiaojiao's troubles, weren't they all so excited and instantly fascinated by Baoya, vying to show their kindness to her?
How did I become the one delivering food to the grandparents in the cafeteria?
Yun Chengfu was confused, Wen Caichuan sighed and glanced towards Jingzhen.
"This is difficult. Where did your sister get to know this kid? He's very cunning."
Yun Chengfu also saw Jing Zhen standing with Bao Ya at this time, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's him, no wonder."
He didn't say much, but patted Wen Caichuan's shoulder heavily and said, "Go quickly. You all know Mr. Xiao Qi's rules. I advised you this morning but you didn't listen. Now you're fine."
"Tsk," Wen Caichuan rolled his eyes at Yun Chengfu, "I advise you to be careful with that kid. Your Yun Ran is so cute, be careful she might get kidnapped!"
"Nonsense," Yun Chengfu feigned anger. "How old is Ranran? How old is Jingzhen? You don't do your homework properly, and your mind is full of random thoughts all day long. No wonder you failed the last college entrance examination!"
These words hit Wen Caichuan's sore spot. He waved at Yun Chengfu with a dark face and turned away.
After all the scholars had gone to the dining hall one after another, Mr. Xiao Qi walked in slowly from outside with his hands behind his back.
"Jingzhen, I know your intention to come to study here is not pure, but since you are here, I still hope that you can correct your attitude and study hard."
"Yes, sir."
Jingzhen was tall and graceful, with his hands hanging at his sides and a calm and serious expression.
Qi Mo knew that he wasn't going to just do it half-heartedly, so he nodded and said, "Then drive the donkey cart outside, tie up the donkey, and then come in with Yun Ran and the others to study."
Jingzhen responded and turned to lead the donkey.
But because Jingzhen enrolled suddenly and did not bring any books or writing materials, he had to sit in and listen to the lessons.
On the boy's side, Lin Huarong and Fang Xian were at the same table. Zhang Shun's seat had been empty all the time, but now that Jing Zhen had arrived, he sat next to him.
But Zhang Shun didn't come today, and he was nowhere to be seen until the evening when classes were over.
Because of what happened to Xu Jiaojiao yesterday, Qi Mo was also a little worried.
After Baoya and the others left the academy, he thought that if Zhang Shun didn't come tomorrow, he would have to go and invite guests to come and see him.
He didn't know where Zhang Shun lived, but he knew that Zhang Shun's father was attracting guests to do work.
On the other side, Baoya and her two sisters left the academy carrying their book baskets, but they did not return to the breakfast shop immediately. Instead, they took the donkey cart driven by Jingzhen and went straight to Yinkelai.
"I think it must be Xu Jiaojiao who made things difficult for him." Yun Yue said, supporting her cheek.
Yunhua also nodded: "I'm afraid she doesn't want Zhang Shun to come because she can't come to the academy."
"Well," Baoya responded, "I think it's very likely."
"If that's the case, what are you going to do?" Jing Zhen asked.
Baoya also supported her cheeks with her little hands and tapped them with her little fingers.
"what to do……"
She frowned and thought for a moment: "Brother Zhang Shun's father is bringing in guests to work. As long as his father is no longer working here, Xu Jiaojiao and the others won't be able to control it."
Jingzhen raised his wrist, and the small whip drew a beautiful curve in the air and hit the ground with a crisp "snap" sound.
"Whether his father is there to bring customers to work or not, Xu Jiaojiao has no control over it."
He said, "If they make trouble, report them to the police."
"Yeah!" Baoya nodded and responded.
The gate that brought the guests in was gradually approaching. Before they could find a place to tie up the donkey, they heard Xu Jiaojiao's arrogant voice suddenly.
"Zhang Shun, you're dreaming! Your father is so old, and he's not good at anything. How many dishes has he ruined in our store?!"
"Now that my mother doesn't want him anymore, he has to convert the dishes he ruined into silver and pay her back before she can leave! Thirty-seven taels and five hundred and eighty coins, not a penny less!"
"You're talking nonsense! You... you're deceiving me..."
"Oh, after just two days of studying, you can even speak eloquently! Why am I bullying you? You owe me money, so you have to pay it back! Your father is too old to do the job, so you have to do it! If you don't have money, wash the dishes to pay off your debts!"
"I...my dad didn't even break so many dishes in your house!"
Zhang Shun's voice was weak and small, with a cry-like tone, and it seemed particularly pitiful amidst Xu Jiaojiao's aggressive and delicate voice.
"If I say yes, then yes!" Xu Jiaojiao scolded, "If you don't want to do it, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Beat him! You bastard! You won't obey me unless you beat me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a muffled sound of sticks hitting people from the reception room, accompanied by Zhang Shun's weak, low moans and cries of pain.
Baoya's face changed immediately, and she looked at Jingzhen. Jingzhen immediately tied up the donkey, took her hand and ran towards Yinkelai.
Yunhua and Yunyue also followed closely behind, hand in hand.
