Chapter 1500 Nightmare (Thanks to the reward from book friend "yeath001")
Zhao Liulang had just finished turning over the quilt when he turned around to look at the window again. He was startled when he met the eyes of Man Bao, Bai Shan and others.
He didn't know Bai Shan and Zhou Man, but he knew that she was probably the only woman in the courtyard who was not wearing palace dress, and he knew Liu Huan and Yin Huo who were standing behind them.
Yin Huo was weak, so he couldn't afford to offend him. So he pointed at Liu Huan and asked, "What are you doing? Who are you trying to scare by the window?"
Zhao Liulang and Liu Huan's elder brother were classmates, but his elder brother accidentally passed the major exam and then the examination of the Ministry of Personnel to become an official. Last year, he went to Yizhou to serve as the magistrate of Huayang County, following the old path of the Tang County Magistrate.
Zhao Liulang was still studying. Although they seemed to be classmates now, Liu Huan didn't dare to treat him with the attitude of a classmate. So he said, "Brother Zhao Liu, you are too particular. This is not at home..."
Zhao Liulang snorted softly and said, "We're going to live here in the future, and we don't know how long we'll be here. What's wrong with being a little particular?"
Seeing that the five people were still standing in front of his window, he frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Manbao looked at Bai Shan, who looked around and then at Yin Huo. Liu Huan felt that he didn't have the face to ask Zhao Liulang for the person, so he also looked at Yin Huo.
Yin Huo coughed lightly twice, clutching his chest, and said weakly, "Sixth Brother Zhao, it's already past noon, and we're starving. Could you please return our eunuch to us so he can get them some food?"
Yin Huo immediately said, "Should I ask him to bring some food to Sixth Brother Zhao and Third Brother Jun as well?"
Zhao Liulang and Jun Sanlang were startled. They looked at the two eunuchs in the room and asked, "Are these your eunuchs?"
How would Yin know which one is which one is not?
He simply pointed at someone and said, "Isn't that him?"
The eunuch who saw it from the corner of his eye immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, this servant Ma Fuming greets Master Yin."
When Zhao Liulang heard this, he thought that the eunuch was really theirs. Although he was a little unhappy, he really didn't want to or dare to provoke Yin Huo.
If the person was really hungry and sick, Yin Li might not do anything, but his three sisters might block his car. Even if they didn't block his car, it would be embarrassing to block his wife in the backyard.
So he waved his hand to the eunuch and said disdainfully, "Go, go."
Ma Fuming then stood up with his back bent, walked out backwards, and kowtowed to Yin Huo and the other five men.
Yin Huo said softly, "Go to the kitchen and get us some food. Just bring it to the dining room."
Ma Fuming agreed, bowed and walked out.
They then moved to the dining room, which had its own table and chairs. Manbao looked at Yin Huo and said, "Next time you say you're hungry, cover your stomach."
Yin Huo: ...
Ma Fuming moved quickly, his arm strength seemed to be quite impressive. He brought over two four-layer food boxes. After putting out their share of food, he looked hesitantly at the two remaining portions in the boxes and whispered, "This is for Young Master Zhao Liu and Young Master Jun San..."
Yin Huo took a look and said, "Send them back to the house."
He paused and said, "Come back after you've delivered it. I remember Lord Yang said that each of our rooms has a dedicated eunuch to serve. Have you guys divided it up?"
Ma Fuming then said thoughtfully, "The management hasn't divided the responsibilities properly."
Yin Huo nodded and said, "Then you can stay in my room exclusively from now on."
Ma Fuming quickly knelt down and responded, then stood up and left with the food box.
Manbao looked at them and felt that they were the same as the eunuchs she had seen before, but also different, and seemed more humble.
The five of them were extremely hungry, so they took the bowls and started eating without saying anything.
After they finished their meal, the others finally remembered that they were hungry, and they all went into the dining room and asked the eunuchs to get food from the canteen.
Manbao was quite familiar with the affairs of the palace. He turned to Ma Fuming who was waiting behind them and said, "You can take these meals. If you like anything, have a bite."
Ma Fuming responded with gratitude and put away the dishes.
After he left, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Shan was very curious, "Why is the palace so lenient with us?"
That's impossible.
Without waiting for the others to finish their meal, Su Jian came in with two people, their faces drooping, and shouted directly, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Change your clothes and go to the courtyard to listen to the announcement."
Turning around, he saw Zhou Man sitting beside him, looking at him curiously. He choked and said, "Not including you."
Thinking about it, he felt that it was not right. Remembering his sister's instructions, he couldn't help but said, "You can come."
Seeing him so conflicted, Manbao left.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky at this time. These were his friends who usually went out to drink, run horses and play ball. Su Jian certainly wouldn't deliberately bother them. Besides, if he bothered them, wouldn't he also have to stand under the scorching sun?
He didn't want to suffer that kind of punishment, so he said they were in the yard, but he actually asked them to stand in the corridor. Of course, he also stood in the corridor.
There were only thirty people in total, including the full week, so it wasn't crowded at all.
Su Jian said, "Today is the day you start school, which gives you time to adapt. The palace rules are all posted on the notice board. I don't think I need to repeat them to you one by one, right?"
They are not children anymore. They are all children of noble families and officials. There is no fool among those who can be selected to be tutors.
Even Bai Erlang knew that he had to stay hidden in the palace, let alone them. No one joked about their own lives, so they all nodded.
Su Jian was satisfied and said, "I have two points to make. Now that you have entered the Eastern Palace, you and the Crown Prince will share the same fate. Think twice before you act or speak. It doesn't matter if you don't care about your own future or your life, but don't bring trouble to the Crown Prince and the others in the Eastern Palace. Secondly, this palace is not your home. You'd better control your temper. There are only so many servants in this courtyard. Look at you, you are just packing your luggage, and you have made such a fuss until now!"
After scolding them, Su Jian said, "The rules of Chongwen Academy are similar to those of the Imperial College. Tomorrow, Chen Zheng Kong Jijiu will come to see you. You should understand what to do, right?"
I understand. I have to dress neatly, arrive on time, and be prepared to be tested. I'm used to it.
Su Jian was about to nod when a hand suddenly reached out from the last row. Because the person in front was a bit tall, he couldn't see them, so he waved his hands left and right in annoyance, "Turn sideways, who's raising their hand at the back?"
Everyone turned sideways to look back and saw Manbao standing next to Bai Shan, holding out a hand. Seeing everyone looking over, she coughed lightly and asked, "Master Su, do I have to go too?"
Su Jian asked with a complicated expression, "Doctor Zhou, do you want to go?"
Before coming, the prince told him that Zhou Man had two main tasks in entering the palace, one was to revise the book, and the other was to be the crown princess.
But Su Jian felt that revising the book could be put aside for the time being. Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were there, so what could a teenager like her do?
The most important thing is the Crown Princess!
So he felt that she didn't need to be so concerned about revising the book, and could just have fun with it from time to time. Well, it would be nice to have fun with the Crown Princess.
In fact, in Su Jian's opinion, there is no need to go through so much trouble. He can just issue an order to let her take personal care of the Crown Princess. Would she dare to disobey the order?
But the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess did not take his advice, so he had to treat her politely now.
The main thing is that every time he sees her, he feels stomachache. Last night he accidentally had a nightmare. He dreamed that a small hand was stirring in his stomach and cutting off his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Good night
