Chapter 125 Three Buns
Zhu Lan thought of another thing, "By the way, I've been too busy recently and there's something I haven't had time to tell you.
I know that the matter of Wei and Qin Hu has been weighing on your mind. These two people are too dangerous and their household registration must be severed as soon as possible.
When I went to see Magistrate Ji the other day, he told me that the imperial court had already drafted a more complete household registration policy, which would allow adult women to open separate female households. In other words, you can legitimately separate from them.
The local authorities have already received the relevant imperial decree, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be implemented from next month."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope rose in Qin Yuwei's eyes.
The issue of household registration has always been a big stone weighing on her heart, and it was also one of the reasons why she finally decided to enter the palace.
“Yuwei, as long as we sever our household registration with those two people, there won’t be any hidden dangers on the road to the imperial examination.
We are lucky to have traveled to an era where women can go to school and even become officials. You are good at learning and knowledge, so why don't we make a career out of it? Why should we be caged by others?"
Qin Yuwei looked at Zhu Lan for a long time with complicated feelings, then let out a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of something.
"Thank you, Lanlan." Qin Yuwei's tone was finally not so heavy anymore.
"Although I don't have the same ambition as you, you are right." There was a hint of teasing in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was much lighter. "I didn't even know whether the prince looked like a human or a dog, and I still wanted to find a way to marry him. I'm really at a loss."
Zhu Lan also breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you figured it out. Then this dress——"
Qin Yuwei smiled and took her hand, "Let's take it to the back mountain and burn it."
…
Ever since Qin Yuwei burned the dance dress, I have felt a lot more relieved.
Zhu Lan was afraid that she was still worried, so he took her to the county government office to find Ji Tian.
It was not until Ji Tian took out the decree that would be issued next month and told Qin Yuwei in person that she would be able to separate her household registration from Wei and Qin Hu as soon as the decree was issued that Qin Yuwei finally relaxed the tension and began to continue rehearsing the dance for the celebration with peace of mind.
After Zhu Lan handed the celebration plan he had drafted to Ouyang Ye for review, Ouyang Ye was very satisfied. After proposing a few detailed improvement plans, he asked Zhu Lan to purchase and prepare everything needed for the celebration.
…
"Little Master, you are amazing. I actually got into Class C-3 in this class exam. Hahahahaha!"
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Before Murong Jing entered the study, Zhu Qingyan in the room had already heard her hearty laughter.
Murong Jing, who had just come back from looking at the list, walked into the house, followed by Mu'er.
Mu'er also smiled gratefully at Zhu Qingyan. If Zhu Qingyan hadn't often given his young lady some advice on her studies, it was estimated that the young lady would have fallen to the T-class in this exam, and she would have to be scolded by the prince later.
Mu'er glanced around the room but didn't see Lu Yin'er.
Lu Yiner has a lively personality and lacks stability. She never has a peaceful day. She can't sit still on her days off and no one knows where she goes to play.
The college celebration is just two days away, and many students’ hearts have already flown away.
Only Zhu Qingyan was sitting in the room reading a book.
Murong Jing was now completely in awe of Zhu Qingyan's knowledge. In addition, she was either writing or reading from morning to night, so Murong Jing simply changed her name to "little teacher".
The two gradually became familiar with each other.
"You read all day long, aren't you tired?"
Murong Jing snatched the book from Zhu Qingyan's hand, sat in front of her, and said excitedly: "Finally, it's the day off. Do you want to go out and play? Mu'er and I haven't been around Jiangzhou City yet!"
Zhu Qingyan was a little surprised, "You've never been there?"
"Yes, we have only been in Jiangzhou for a short time. We have been stuck in the academy and have hardly had a chance to go out."
Facing Murong Jing's expectant gaze, Zhu Qingyan hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Okay, then I'll take you out to have a look."
Jiangzhou City is not far from the capital and is the nearest important town. There is a constant stream of vendors on the streets, and shops and restaurants on both sides are lined up, making it very bustling.
Since he was taking them for a tour, Zhu Qingyan would naturally choose to go to places that were crowded and interesting.
"Hey, I heard that Jiangzhou City is rich in the north and poor in the south. Why is this area so prosperous?"
The three of them arrived at the south of the city, and Murong Jing looked in surprise at the street in front of them that was wide enough for two carriages to pass.
"This street was not very popular originally, but because a rouge and powder shop called Xianglaier opened, business on the whole street gradually became prosperous," Zhu Qingyan explained.
"Oh, I see." Murong Jing nodded. She seemed to have vaguely heard of Xiang Lai'er's name.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Zhu Qingyan asked.
Which girl doesn't like to go to the rouge shop? Although she herself can't afford it and has never used anything from Chanel, she still likes to go there occasionally.
Murong Jing shook her head, "I'm not interested in rouge and powder."
Zhu Qingyan felt a little embarrassed, thinking that there was no other interesting place nearby, so wouldn't it be a waste of time to bring the two of them on this trip?
At this time, the aroma of meat mixed with noodles wafted over from afar.
"There are buns!" Murong Jing's eyes lit up. She had a bigger appetite than others, and she was already hungry after walking for the whole morning.
The three followed the smell and found the bun stall. It was a very small stall and didn't sell many kinds of buns, but each bun was as big as an adult's fist.
Zhu Qingyan was very surprised by Murong Jing's reaction. She knew that Murong Jing's family must be well-off. Shouldn't a lady from a noble family like her look down on such a roadside stall?
"Boss, give me three meat buns!" Murong Jing didn't mind at all. She asked Mu'er behind her to pay the bill, grabbed a bun and took a big bite.
"Mmm, delicious, delicious."
The three of them each took a hot bun, and heard Murong Jing excitedly pointing at a plaque opposite that read "The World's Divine Soldiers":
"Look, what a big weapons store!"
Murong Jing seemed to suddenly become a hundred times more energetic and said she wanted to go and take a look.
Zhu Qingyan looked at the various swords hanging on both sides of the door of the weapons shop, shining coldly in the sun, and shook his head.
She had no interest in these things, so she said, "You guys go ahead, I'll go to the rouge shop to take a look."
Murong Jing nodded and took Mu'er into the pile of weapons.
Zhu Qingyan walked towards Xiang Lai'er and was attracted by two vendors selling bracelets on the way. He accidentally bumped into people walking towards him and the meat bun in his hand fell to the ground.
"Sorry." She apologized quickly and bent down to pick up the buns.
A pair of cloth shoes embroidered with flowers suddenly stepped on the bun.
Xue Mei's voice sounded above her head:
"Hey, isn't this the concubine that the Zhu family recognized?"
