Chapter 57 Chapter 57 The Turtle Finally Reveals His Head

Just kidding. An Xin knew that this kid had a complicated background. If anything unexpected happened when he was taken out, it would be good to have someone to prove that it had nothing to do with them.

With the captain's shout, An Xin and the others finally boarded the passenger ship. Since they were all wealthy, they naturally booked first-class cabins.

Even Leng Xiangbai, who was financially weak, has now become a student on government stipend and can receive food and money subsidies from the court every month. As long as he doesn't spend money recklessly, he will have no problem living.

It's just that he has always been frugal, and was afraid that if he went out with others, he would incur extra expenses and become a burden to others, so he was unwilling to go out with them before.

The passenger ship slowly broke through the water, and waves rolled back in layers along both sides of the hull.

Many passengers were standing on the deck. An Xin and the others went up to the second floor. Only passengers staying in first-class cabins could come up here to rest, eat and enjoy the scenery.

An Xin sat on the deck and looked down, her diamond-shaped lips curled up.

"Cousin, what are you laughing at?" An Rui, who was sitting next to her, asked curiously.

An Xin: "I saw a turtle finally dare to show its head."

Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai followed An Xin's gaze, one was cold and the other was indifferent, and both of them narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Jiang Zhou stretched his head and saw Shanzhang Wang walking up, with a look of disdain on his face, "He's quite a jerk, hiding for so long, he finally dares to come out and meet people."

"He doesn't dare to come out to see people," Zhu Shijing said, "He has to come out."

Apparently, Cangyun Academy had also received an invitation from Baichuan Academy. If Principal Wang dared not to go, it was likely that in the future, such large academies would no longer invite Cangyun Academy to literary gatherings.

In this literary gathering held by Baichuan Academy, each academy can bring ten students, and the number can only be less, not more.

Although Baichuan Academy was one of the largest academies in the Daqian Dynasty, there were too many people visiting and he could not accommodate them all.

An Xin now has only six students including Li Ziyu, and with Kong Xun, there are only seven in total.

When they saw Principal Wang walking up to the second-floor deck with only five or six students following him, Jiang Zhou, Liu Boxing and An Rui all looked at him with contempt.

They came out this time as a matter of course, with the intention of having fun, and also to attend that stupid literary gathering.

They don't have a very close relationship with Wanhua Academy, so the ticket for the first-class cabin was also bought by their head of the family.

But the ten students brought up by Principal Wang should be the most knowledgeable in Cangyun Academy, and there are also several students from poor families among them.

They did not all go there voluntarily. In cases like this, their food, lodging and travel expenses should all be borne by the academy.

Unexpectedly, Principal Wang bought first-class tickets for a few students from wealthy families, but left those from poor families in the lower-class cabins.

Shanzhang Wang walked up, and he and Liu Mingjie and Zhao Kui behind him chose to avoid An Xin when they met his playful eyes.

They chose to sit in the corner of the ship, obviously not wanting to meet and talk with An Xin and the others.

An Xin didn't mind. He just glanced at them lightly and then looked at the scenery on the shore.

It's not that she was magnanimous and wanted to let go of Principal Wang, who intended to occupy Anjia Academy, but she had set a trap for Principal Wang when she changed the bet.

Those who had signed the bet were all well-known scholars in the literary circle of Lin'an County. Now, Principal Wang had caused them to lose the bet.

Regardless of whether those literati were willing to call her a teacher or not, they would not dare to speak nonsense to her when they saw her in the future.

If anyone really dared to annoy her, he would just bring out this bet, and those scholars' chances of passing the imperial examination or pursuing a career in officialdom would be over.

Which place can admit and dare to employ scholars who do not keep their promises? How can those scholars not hate Wang Shanchang for trapping these people into this gambling game?

His goal has been achieved, this is the real reason why An Xin no longer pays attention to him.

Shanzhang Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that An Xin did not cause him any trouble.

But he had been staying at home for so long without going out that he didn't know that he had already been isolated by the literary circle in Lin'an County.

There are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The white sails of the fishing boats in the distance are also dyed red by the rising sun, like huge red silk fluttering in the wind.

An Xin was attracted by the scenery on the water and watched quietly with his chin in his hand.

It was not until the clear sound of a pipa, accompanied by the girl's little tune, echoed throughout the second-floor ship that An Xin came back to his senses.

The waiters on the boat came to ask the guests if they wanted melon seeds and tea, which was obviously extra money. After the song was over, some people came to ask for tips.

An Xin had no interest in listening to the ditty, so after giving him a hundred coins, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Several others also stood up, and An Xin realized that Zhu Shijing was no longer there.

This guy must have known from the beginning that there would be a charge, that's why he ran faster than a rabbit.

When An Xin returned to the cabin, Qingfeng had already cleaned the room and spread out the bedding he brought. He also went to the kitchen on the ship to fetch some water and made tea for his master.

"My Qingfeng is really capable. Come, let me smell the fragrance."

Qingfeng was already immune to the teasing of this frivolous master and continued with his work. "Master, the bed is already made. Do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"

An Xin got up early today, stretched and fell on the bed, watching her continue to wipe the tables and chairs in the cabin, "Don't be busy, sit down and rest for a while.

It only takes two or three days to get to Leling County, so it's fine as long as there's no dust. Why clean it so clean? I don't live here permanently."

Qingfeng knew that An Xin was good to them and rarely asked her and Mingyue to do heavy work. The two were grateful to An Xin and served her even more attentively.

"The servant is not tired, just clean it up and the master will be comfortable living inside."

An Xin smiled and closed her eyes.

The two little girls were so cute and they were very dedicated to her, even though this was their job in that dynasty.

But An Xin still wanted to give them some extra money when they got married or redeemed themselves, so that they would not be bullied when they went out.

Kong Xun returned to his cabin, and the servant Jixiang brought him a cup of tea, complaining in his tone: "Sir, look at Miss An's students, they just get together in a group and don't care about you.

You are the son of the Grand Tutor, and you can go to the literary gathering with them, which means you respect them."

Kong Xun frowned slightly and looked at the servant Jixiang calmly, "I'm not very familiar with them. Isn't it normal for them to be like this?"

"Sir, you can't say that. I think they just think they have passed the imperial examination and are proud and arrogant. They don't take you seriously." Jixiang lowered his eyes and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he instigated.

"Go away," Kong Xun pursed his plump and moist lips, and his tone was obviously unhappy: "I don't want to hear such words again in the future."
