The girl struggled desperately, but she was no match for Fang Xing's strength. He slapped her and the girl fainted with blood coming out of the corner of her mouth.
He carefully took two petals from a blood lotus in the pond, put them in a jade box, and took them upstairs.
The blood lotus soup mentioned by Imperial Concubine Zhang was made from the blood lotus nourished by this man's blood. Over the years, she had to drink a bowl of blood lotus soup every once in a while to maintain her youthful beauty.
The Blood Lotus Soup did allow her to enjoy many benefits, but the disadvantages were also extremely obvious. Once she stopped using it, she would age twice as fast.
This is why she was so anxious before.
After the Lantern Festival, Sanhuan College started its new semester.
In the past few days, as the reputation of the charity auction spread, the Three-Hurt Academy also became known to many people.
In addition, it was no secret that Feng Xian taught at Sanhuan College, so on the first day of school, not only orphans came, but also many wealthy and even wealthy families sent their children, hoping to send their children to study at the college.
It didn't matter how much knowledge I could learn. The most important thing was that entering the academy meant I had the chance to become Feng Xian's student! I could get closer to Zhao Xiaoxian!
Faced with the influx of parents and students, Xue Huan felt a little headache, but she did not intend to compromise.
Sanhuan College was originally built for orphans, and of course it only accepts orphans. Why should those who have parents and can go to school come here to compete with those orphans for admission opportunities?
"Teacher Cao, there are a lot of people here today. You have to work harder and lead others to maintain order and keep an eye on the children. Don't let anything happen to them."
Cao Hu patted his chest and assured her: "Don't worry, Dean, even if something happens to me, I will not let anything happen to the children."
The twenty security guards recruited earlier all wore blue short uniforms today. They all stood straight and looked heroic. Under Cao Hu's arrangement, some stood guard, some maintained stability, and some patrolled, each doing their own job.
The campus has been cleaned by cleaners everywhere, and there is not even a fallen leaf on the ground.
On both sides of the road, there is a green-painted trash can at intervals, which is specially used for throwing garbage.
Led by their supervisor Yan, the children from the Huiyou Bureau walked into the campus. Looking at the tall and imposing buildings, the lush scenery with flowers and plants, and the clean and tidy roads, they all opened their mouths wide, like little chicks that had just arrived in the human world.
Father Tang was also leading a group of children. "Come, everyone, line up in ascending order and follow Grandpa. I'll take you to the classroom to register."
As for those who were outside the admission range, they were stopped outside the gate and were not allowed to enter.
"Those bastards can get in, so why can't we? Tell Zhao Xiaoxian to come out. She's made so much money from our Jin family, and now she's blocking us out? I want to ask her what she's thinking!"
Mrs. Liu, the second wife of the Jin Dynasty, sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and shouted at the security guard at the door.
When Cao Hu heard the noise, he stepped forward and asked the driver to drive the carriage away so as not to block other people's way.
The dean had given instructions in advance that those who caused trouble should be driven away without any courtesy, and if soft measures didn't work, hard measures would be used.
The coachman was a servant of the Jin family. As the master taught, the servants were often like the masters. In the face of Cao Hu's warning, the coachman turned a deaf ear and even whipped him arrogantly.
Cao Hu grabbed the whip in the driver's hand and dragged him off the cart. Then he shouted to a security guard, "Drive this cart aside."
Liu was watching in the car, her face was twisted with anger!
The look in his eyes when he looked at Cao Hu was almost spitting fire.
Cao Hu was not afraid of her. He threw the whip to the security guard and went back to watch.
Liu, the first one to stand out, was beaten by the Sanhuan Academy without hesitation. Others did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, for fear of becoming the next monkey to be warned.
Some people, seeing that they couldn't get in and didn't want to waste any more time, simply left.
Gradually, there were fewer people and vehicles outside the academy, but a lot of horse manure and garbage were left behind.
The registration office was located in the corridor directly south of the teaching building. Mei Jiqin and Xu Niangzi were responsible for registering the children, with a line in front of each of them.
"Little guy, what's your name?" Mei Jiqin asked a boy of eight or nine years old in front of her.
"My name is Goudan."
"I'm asking for your name."
Goudan scratched his head and looked at Manager Yan who was waiting beside him. He didn't know his own name either. Did he even have a name?
Manager Yan said, "Mr. Mei, many children in the Huiyou Bureau don't have proper names. What do you think we should do about this?"
Mei Jiqin smiled and said, "That's easy. Come, Goudan, have you seen these two books? This one is the Hundred Family Surnames, which contains all the surnames from different families. Choose one from the books and use it as your own."
Goudan faced the opened Hundred Family Surnames with awe and curiosity. He didn't recognize any of the characters on it, and to him, it was like a book of heaven.
Mei Jiqin looked at him with an encouraging smile, "Don't be afraid, just point your finger and write a word."
Goudan pointed to a character that looked more pleasing to the eye and had fewer strokes - Yu.
"This character is pronounced 'yu'. Goudan, your last name will be Yu from now on."
Goudan repeated the word several times and tried hard to memorize its appearance. "From now on, my last name will be Yu, hehe."
Seeing that he was so happy about having a surname, Mei Jiqin couldn't help feeling a little sad. A surname is obviously something that everyone is born with, but because these children became orphans, they had no idea who their parents were, so naturally they had no way of knowing their surnames, and they grew up with a nickname.
Her voice became softer. "Come, point to another character on this Thousand Character Classic and use it as your name."
The entire text of "Thousand Character Classic" contains one thousand characters, and there is no repetition, so there is no need to worry that these children will have the same name.
This time Goudan was bolder. He looked at it carefully and pointed to a word - Yang.
The "Yang" in "Lülü Tiaoyang".
"Okay, from now on you will be called Yu Yang." Mei Jiqin touched Goudan's head.
Goudan felt extremely happy. No one had ever touched his head so gently.
He excitedly turned around and shared his joy with his friends, "I have a name from now on. My name is Yu Yang!"
The other children were happy and envious, but they would also have names soon, right?
Mei Jiqin asked Goudan some more questions, such as how old he was and what his birth date was, and recorded his information in the book one by one. "Okay, classmate Yu Yang, you are now a student of Sanhuan College."
After all the children registered, Mei Jiqin led them to the dormitory building. "I am your life teacher and instrument teacher. If you have any problems in your life in the future, you can come to me. Now I will show you the dormitory."
"Sir, what is a dormitory?" a child asked.
"The dormitory is where you live. It has a bed, a wardrobe, a table and chairs..."
The children were very nervous and reserved at first, but when they saw how gentle and approachable she was, they became much more lively, chattering around her and asking questions.
Mei Jiqin would answer them patiently.
