Yu Huaijin's words attracted the attention of many people on the scene.
The students of Shuexingtang inside and outside the gate all cast their eyes over, curiously gazing at this "transfer student" whom they had heard of but had never met.
I heard that he, like Fan Yushu, was a gifted student who got in through the relationship with the teacher at the academy.
The students in the monastery who had not yet left did not know the specific situation of Zhao Rong. Seeing Yu Huaijin speaking to a strange man in a way that was out of character, everyone was very curious about who Zhao Rong was. Some of them even had some interesting guesses in their minds and glanced at Han Wenfu with strange eyes.
Han Wenfu did not leave immediately after being rejected. He noticed the movements of Yu Huaijin and Zhao Rong at this moment. He was holding the green and red maple leaf that he had spent so much effort on but had not yet given away. All the strange visions were locked between Han Wenfu's five fingers, and no light could come out. He stood still, frowning slightly, looking Zhao Rong up and down.
Zhao Rong took in everything that happened on the field and Han Wenfu's expression. He then looked at Yu Huaijin's face, nodded and smiled, "My name is Zhao Rong, and my courtesy name is Ziyu. If it weren't for the same name, you should be talking about me."
Yu Huaijin looked into Zhao Rong's eyes calmly. After hearing what he said, she nodded and saluted, "Yu Xuanji, courtesy name Huaijin. In the academy, we address each other by our courtesy names. You can just call me Yu Huaijin."
Jia Tengying standing by hurriedly bowed and bowed.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, and immediately returned the greeting together with the hurried Jia Tengying.
Zhao Rong looked up, patted his sleeves, and said casually, "So it seems like it's a coincidence, Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be a senior from Ruxing Hall. Thank you for your guidance just now."
If Zhao Rong had not met Yu Huaijin before, he would definitely not have taken the initiative to talk to Yu Huaijin. After all, he had already made up his mind to avoid even Mr. Zhu as much as possible, so how could he dare to have too much contact with other troublesome women who might easily cause trouble.
But now it seems that the senior student Yu in front of him seems to be very safe. He doesn't seem to be in any trouble. We can be classmates with peace of mind.
Hearing Zhao Rong's words, Yu Huaijin shook his head and did not respond. He lowered his eyes to look at the thick autumn clothes on him that Qingjun had spent many days and nights and a lot of effort to knit stitch by stitch.
She raised her eyes and said, "Zhao Ziyu, you need to wear student clothes in Ruxing Hall. You just arrived today, so you can make an exception this time. Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to wear regular clothes."
Zhao Rong twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.
He glanced around and found that there were indeed many students around wearing student uniforms, but there were also many students who were not.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, tilted his head left and right, and looked around. "Is this the school's rule? Why do I see so many brothers wearing casual clothes?"
Yu Huaijin looked stern, stared into his eyes, and said seriously:
"The school has no explicit regulations. The chief priest said that clothes are optional, but the schoolmaster disagrees. He said that we students should dress in a standardized and uniform manner to make our identities clear and not act in a special way. I think the schoolmaster is right. I don't care about other schools, but the students of our Ruxing School must dress in a unified manner and correct our study style."
She paused, nodded, and continued, "However, if you feel the weather is cold, you can wear other clothes inside, but you must wear the student's green jacket outside. The two are not contradictory."
Jia Tengying nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
After Yu Huaijin finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Rong, then turned his head away from him and looked at Jia Tengying who was leading the way for Zhao Rong. He said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, Jia Tengying."
"It's not hard, Senior Yu. Brother Ziyu and I live in the same dormitory. This is what I should do."
Jia Tengying shook his head and waved his hands like a rattle. Zhao Rong, who was standing beside him, caught a glimpse of this scene and his lips twitched slightly.
The surrounding students of Taoism roughly understood the situation, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, they turned around and left along with Han Wenfu, who relaxed his brows and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The students at the entrance of Ruexing Hall gradually dispersed. Today's events involved two influential figures among the new students of Mochi Academy. It was estimated that the news would soon spread to all six halls and become a topic of conversation after dinner and in spare time.
It's something like this. Senior Han from Xiudao Hall, who has an outstanding appearance and a jade-like appearance, has a unique taste, but he is also a love-struck seed. He was rejected again by Yu Huaijin from Ruxing Hall, but it seems that he will persevere...
Yu Huaijin didn't care about any turmoil that her actions might cause. It's not that she didn't know, but that she didn't care.
Yu Huaijin stood outside the door for a moment, just as she did every day when she came to the school. She stood straight, holding her hands, and behaved in a very strict manner, strictly observing Confucian etiquette.
Although she was short and thin, and her loose student uniform made her look like a nightgown and a little funny, Yu Huaijin stood quietly in front of the door. None of the students from Suixing Hall, such as Jia Tengying, dared to go past her and enter the hall without permission. Instead, they stopped and waited patiently for Senior Yu to check whether the appearance of Suixing Hall was clean and tidy.
Zhao Rong watched this scene silently.
Yu Huaijin looked around at the facade of Shuexing Hall, then turned her head to look at the clump of young bamboo planted not far away. Then, she turned around and prepared to step into Shuexing Hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Rong and Jia Tengying also prepared to follow in.
At this moment.
Yu Huaijin suddenly turned his head again, his eyes passed over Zhao Rong and the other man, and instantly locked onto the sneaky figure at the corner between the lakeside promenade and Ruexing Hall.
She frowned slightly.
"Fan Yushu."
Yu Huaijin spoke softly, but his voice traveled far away.
At the corner, Fan Yushu was humming a tune with his hands behind his back and his head raised. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a certain girl who he should not mess with. So he turned around and walked away without thinking, and was about to retreat to the corner. But when he heard Yu Huaijin's calm voice, his back trembled suddenly and he stopped where he was.
He seemed to struggle for a while, but finally did not dare to pretend that he did not hear anything and ran away. Fan Yushu's shoulders slumped, his head hung, and he turned around dejectedly. Under the different gazes of Yu Huaijin, Zhao Rong and others, he walked towards the gate of Ruexingtang.
Fan Yushu drooped his eyelids and passed by Zhao Rong. He did not greet Zhao Rong immediately. Instead, he stood in front of Yu Huaijin, bowed and saluted even faster than her, showing great skill.
"Hello, Senior Yu."
Fan Yushu's voice was loose and weak. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, as if he was trying to find some treasure.
Yu Huaijin looked directly at Fan Yushu and said in a serious tone:
"Fan Yushu, I have told you many times that you should look into other people's eyes when talking to them. This is the most basic etiquette. You are a student of our Ruxing Hall, how could you forget even this?"
"Yeah, yeah." Fan Yushu looked up at Yu Huaijin, his expression serious and his tone affirmative, "Senior Yu is right, I will definitely change it!"
Fan Yushu then moved his body and tried to move towards the door, pretending to leave, "Senior, ahem, if there's nothing else, I'll go in first."
"stop."
Fan Yushu's feet, which were about to run away, suddenly stopped and he blinked, "What's the matter, Senior?"
Yu Huaijin looked at Fan Yushu and said, "Before you followed Mr. Yan to give lectures in the Four Prefectures of Taiqing, I assigned you the homework. You can hand it over to me now."
Fan Yushu made a bitter face and opened his mouth, but was interrupted by the woman in front of him again.
Yu Huaijin added: "If you left it in the dormitory and forgot to take it, I can go with you after class."
The thick stack of homework that had accumulated for more than a month flashed through Fan Yushu's mind, and his body shuddered subconsciously. For a moment, he gritted his teeth and his expression suddenly changed.
Fan Yushu let out a long sigh.
"Well, Senior Yu, you know that during this trip to the Four Prefectures of Taiqing, Mr. Yan was extremely strict with us accompanying disciples. We had to attend classes with the students of Taiqing Prefecture during the day, and we were given a mountain of homework at night.
However! As a student of the Ruxing Hall who is hardworking and brave enough to face challenges under the leadership of Senior Yu, I am not afraid of this little difficulty. For a month, I have attended classes on time every day, and buried myself in writing the scriptures assigned by Mr. Yan at night. After more than 30 days of hard work, I finally completed the assignment of Mr. Yan and did not bring shame to our Ruxing Hall.
Even the senior brother who corrected my homework praised me for doing a good job. I am worthy of being a student of the Ruxing Hall led by the talented and beautiful woman Yu Huaijin. Who doesn’t know this? But I know your style, Senior Yu, so I said a few words to be humble for you. Don’t thank me…”
Fan Yushu was muttering a lot in a serious manner. Zhao Rong, who was listening to him, couldn't help rubbing his face. He gradually began to doubt whether the brother Yushu who pretended to listen in class in Taiqing Four Mansions a few days ago was really the one who was actually writing love letters and ran away after class and couldn't be stopped even if he was called.
Fan Yushu's tone was both regretful and sorrowful.
"Senior Yu, for the past month, I have been soaring in the ocean of sage books and living an extremely fulfilling and happy life. However, it's all my fault! Although I have worked hard to complete the academic assignments assigned by Mr. Yan, I am really unable to squeeze out more time to do the homework you asked me to do. In the end, I can only come back with a lot of regrets."
As he spoke, his tone became sad and desolate. He raised his head and patted his chest, making a thumping sound. Even Zhao Rong felt pain for him.
Fan Yushu looked up at the sky with a hateful expression.
"Senior! It's Yushu who is useless. It's me, Yushu, who has failed your high hopes! Even though I received unanimous praise from Mr. Yan and the senior brothers before we parted this morning, what's the use? These are just passing clouds to me. I still haven't completed the homework you assigned. I am ashamed to see you and my classmates in Ruxing Hall again!"
Fan Yushu kicked his feet hard and raised his legs to run towards the door behind him.
"etc."
Yu Huaijin frowned and called out to stop.
Fan Yushu braked the car instantly, and turned back the next second with a look of tragic determination on his face.
He patted his chest hard and said, "If you don't believe me, you can check my conscience. If you still don't believe my burning and sincere heart, then I have nothing to say. You can go ask other people!"
Yu Huaijin looked at Fan Yushu's aggrieved and resolute expression and said nothing.
Fan Yushu suddenly turned around and came to Zhao Rong's side in an instant. He grabbed Zhao Rong's sleeve and prepared to pull Zhao Rong to Yu Huaijin.
However, as he turned around, Fan Yushu kept a resolute expression and winked at Zhao Rong.
Fan Yushu: Good brother, help me!
Zhao Rong glanced at the woman behind him: Who is this Yu Huaijin?
Fan Yushu frowned: It’s hard to explain, but she’s not easy to mess with, very hard to mess with, don’t let this girl target you.
Zhao Rong looked Fan Yushu up and down: For example, you now?
Fan Yushu widened his eyes: I’ll talk to you later, just help me get through this first!
The two exchanged glances quickly.
Soon, they came to Yu Huaijin with a stern face again.
Fan Yushu said seriously, "If you still don't believe me, you can ask Brother Ziyu. When we were in Taiqing Sifu, we lived together. He liked to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. As a result, he always caught a glimpse of the light of my late-night study. Ziyu sighed and advised me to rest early and not to hurt my body. I said no, is this good? This is not good. I am an 18-year-old student and I have to take the lead in learning... Ziyu was speechless after hearing this. Finally, he was infected by my enthusiasm for learning and was no longer sleepy. He studied with me late into the night... You see, I have lost weight after studying together... Don't you think so, Ziyu?"
Fan Yushu pursed his lips, staring intently at Yu Huaijin who remained silent. He rubbed his face which looked a little thin after the "night battle", then tilted his head to look at Zhao Rong with a questioning look in his eyes.
Seeing this, the students who were watching the fun around also turned their eyes to Zhao Rong.
Yu Huaijin held her hands, her expression still calm. She pursed her lips slightly and turned to look at Zhao Rong.
Facing the public's gaze.
The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he looked up at Fan Yushu who was secretly winking at him, "You're still making up stories, aren't you?"
Hardworking and serious? Well, a little bit, but you put all your hard work into writing a love letter to Ye Lanzhi.
Also, the compliments from Mr. Yan and Senior Brother...are you sure they are not directed at me?
As for losing weight by working late into the night... well, Ye Lanzhi ignores you every day, you scratch your ears and cheeks, and can't eat, how can you not lose weight?
Not to mention that he asked for leave a few days ago to go to Duyou City, and I don’t know where he went to fool around... I understand. Now that I think about it, he probably wanted to have a good time before returning to the academy and Yu Huaijin collected his homework. He might not be able to have fun in the future. This is time management...
Zhao Rong was speechless, but when he saw Fan Yushu's pleading and expectant eyes, he sighed in his heart, faced everyone's gaze, and nodded silently.
The students around him who were familiar with Fan Yushu were skeptical.
Fan Yushu didn't care what others thought. He immediately glanced at Yu Huaijin and saw the latter's eyes wandering between him and Zhao Rong for a while.
Yu Huaijin remained silent and stood still for a moment. She turned around and walked into Ruexing Hall.
Behind him, Fan Yushu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat.
