Chapter 60 Residence
Because Baichuan Academy had never received a female principal, An Xin and Qingfeng dressed in neutral clothes for convenience, so the receptionist mistook them for male students without noticing.
Kong Xun couldn't help but step forward to remind them, and the receptionist looked at them in surprise. After learning that An Xin was the principal of Wanhua Academy, he agreed to allocate a courtyard for them to live in.
When you walk into the academy and look around, you will see pavilions and terraces interlaced, winding corridors, towering buildings, flowers and trees scattered in an orderly manner, elegant architectural style, quiet and beautiful environment, and a natural and leisurely atmosphere.
Along the way, An Xin and his friends gained a new understanding of the huge area occupied by Baichuan Academy.
The servant who led the way saw the shocked expressions on An Rui and Liu Boxing's faces, raised his head proudly, and led them to a remote courtyard.
"We're here. You will live in this yard for the time being." After saying that, he left.
Everyone walked in and looked at the somewhat run-down courtyard. An Xin spread his hands and said without a trace of self-blame on his face: "Our academy is too small to deserve this kind of treatment. It's all my fault as the headmaster. I've made you suffer with me."
Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "If you really think it's your fault, could you be more sincere in your tone?"
An Xin: "Just listen to it, don't take it seriously."
An Xin and Qingfeng lived in the small courtyard inside, while Li Ziyu and the other seven people, as well as two followers, lived in the front row of the courtyard.
Not long after they settled down, they heard noises in the yard next door.
Perhaps they were two academies from the same county. Coincidentally, Principal Wang of Cangyun Academy and his ten students lived in the courtyard next to their left.
Jiang Zhou was standing in the yard when he heard a familiar voice. He walked in with a gloomy face and muttered, "Bad luck."
When An Xin found out who lived next door, he touched his nose and said, "It's quite unlucky." Who wants to see someone they don't want to see when they go out?
By the afternoon, they had moved into an academy on their right that was also from Ningzhou Prefecture, in a county called Yushan, which was a remote and poor county in Ningzhou.
Most people are struggling to make ends meet, so there are naturally few scholars and the literary style is depressed. The number of students coming to Jianyue Academy this time is even fewer than that of An Xin and others.
Evening is coming.
An Xin and the others were stunned when they saw Qingfeng and Lingyun carrying lunch boxes and getting meals from the big kitchen of Baichuan Academy. Each courtyard had the standard set of two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and a soup.
Liu Boxing was an honest child, and he said, "It seems that the food is a little less."
Together with Qingfeng, Lingyun, and the servant Jixiang, there are exactly eleven people.
"It seems a little too little," An Rui touched the back of his head. "We agreed to come here for sightseeing and attend the literary gathering, how come we also lost weight?!"
An Xin looked at the food and touched his chin. Although the academy did not explicitly state it, judging from the portion of the food, it seemed that they did not provide food for the students' entourage.
An Xin asked Qing Feng: "If we are willing to pay, can the kitchen add more dishes?"
If we eat less for one or two meals, we can still be fine.
The literary gathering will not be over in one or two days. If there is not enough food every day, it will affect everyone’s mood.
"Of course. I saw that some colleges had more people coming than us, so they probably felt that the standard of the food was not good enough. After asking the kitchen manager, they paid for a few more dishes."
"Then what are you waiting for." An Xin looked at Qingfeng who was out this time to manage the financial power, "Go and give me two more meat dishes and one vegetable dish. How can you not eat and drink well when you go out? If you starve and become thin, I will feel bad."
Everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw An Xin's ruffian face, but they were used to it, and Li Ziyu and the other six people quickly returned to normal.
Only Kong Xun and Ling Yun, who saw An Xin's behavior for the first time, almost had a stroke and could not recover. Who could have thought that a woman who taught a group of outstanding students would be like this? It really shattered their three views.
Kong Xun rubbed his eyes and looked at An Xin again, only to see her sitting at the table with a serious face, inviting everyone to eat.
So he nodded affirmatively, thinking that he must have been dazzled just now.
“???” Yes, that’s right, that’s it.
Ling Yun looked at Qing Feng who walked out, and followed him. Soon, the two of them came back with a lunch box.
After the meal, everyone had nothing to do, so they sat together and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms to pack up and rest.
An Xin brought Qingfeng back to the small courtyard.
When Qingfeng was cleaning earlier, he found a stove in the corner that had not been used for a long time.
Qingfeng wanted to clean it, so he went to the well in the front yard to fetch some water and heat it up so that his master could take a hot bath.
An Xin was standing under the eaves of the corridor. When she saw Qingfeng coming out from behind carrying a wooden barrel, she guessed what she was going to do.
Glancing at her willow-like slender waist, he took the bucket without hesitation and said, "Wait here, I'll go get some water."
Qingfeng was surprised: "Master."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
An Xin smiled frivolously, "This wooden barrel is too big. I'm afraid you'll break your waist while fetching water. I'm the one who feels sorry for you."
Qingfeng knew the character of her master, so she turned around without blushing and went to clean up the small kitchen.
An Xin touched his face and wondered, "Has my charm decreased? The little girl doesn't even blush for me anymore."
As more and more other academies moved in, more and more people came, and Baichuan Academy suddenly became lively.
Fortunately, everyone is a scholar, so even though it seems lively due to the large number of people, no one will make loud noises.
An Xin and his friends came to participate in the Baichuan Academy Fengwenhui because Leling County is not far from the seaside and it only takes half a day to get there by horse carriage. They also came to see the sea and have some fun there.
With this idea in mind, they arrived earlier.
What makes him different from other students is that he participates in such large-scale literary gatherings, hoping to gain a reputation as a talented person, which will improve his status and reputation when he goes out.
The students An Xin brought up were ambitious, but not very ambitious. Having packed up his belongings, Ling Yun hired a carriage early in the morning to go to the beach.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I was stopped by a boy about 14 or 15 years old. He looked at me eagerly and said, "I heard you guys say next door that you are going to the beach today. Can you take me with you?"
After saying this, a faint blush appeared on the boy's fair cheeks. He pursed his lips embarrassedly, but his eyes could not hide his yearning for the sea.
An Xin saw that the others were not going to pay attention to the young man, so he had to say, "You live next door, and you are also from Ningzhou Prefecture."
"Yes," the young boy had red lips and white teeth, and when he smiled, he showed a pair of small canine teeth, which made him look very cute. "Sisters, you guys are the same, too. I heard that most people who come from the same place are assigned to live close to each other."
The young boy called An Xin sweetly.
This attracted several unfriendly looks from others.
