Chapter 195: Luoxue Academy (Part 2)
Cui Hejin said gently, "Okay."
After talking for a while, Jiang Zhiluo shook off the chaotic thoughts in her mind, then pulled Cui Hejin's sleeve and said, "Let's go inside first. You just drank the medicine, I'll give you acupuncture."
During this period, Jiang Zhiluo would boil medicine for Cui Hejin every day after dinner. After he drank the medicine, she would give him acupuncture.
From the initial awkwardness, both of them have adapted to it now.
After Jiang Zhiluo gave Cui Hejin acupuncture, she found that his body had indeed improved after so many days of recuperation.
And on weekdays, she also noticed that he seemed to be more energetic and vigorous.
Jiang Zhiluo wished every day that she could inject all of her wood-type abilities into Cui Hejin's body to help him recuperate.
This also caused Jiang Zhiluo to be a little weak during this period.
But she concealed it and didn't let Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin notice anything unusual.
…
After a good night's sleep, Zhou Zhaoxi drove the ox cart over early the next morning after breakfast.
"Aunt Cui, Brother Cui, Sister Jiang."
Zhou Zhaoxi is still used to calling it that.
He helped carry the chili con carne to the ox cart and put it away.
Jiang Zhiluo waved to Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin and said, "Then I'll go to the academy in the county first."
"Mom, you don't have to wait for me to eat at noon. We may not be back until the afternoon."
Madam Cui nodded and said, "Okay, take care of yourself on the way."
"Don't worry, Mom, it'll be okay."
Zhou Zhaoxi said, "Auntie, I will also take good care of Sister Jiang."
Cui Hejin glanced at Zhou Zhaoxi dimly. Zhou Zhaoxi touched the back of his head, not understanding why he felt a chill.
Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't know about this. All she was thinking about was delivering the things to the academy and getting the money.
After Jiang Zhiluo and Zhou Zhaoxi left in the ox cart, Old Madam Cui looked at Cui Hejin and said with a smile, "You, you clearly care about Zhiluo, but you don't even say a few words of concern."
"If you don't tell me, how can Zhiluo feel it?"
"Don't worry, Zhiluo only has eyes for you, you don't have to worry about anything."
Moreover, Zhou Zhaoxi looks naive and only treats Zhiluo as his younger sister.
She has been through it and can see clearly.
"You can help me make bread first, and then we can go to the school later when it's time for class."
Cui Hejin nodded and helped Mrs. Cui make bread.
…
At noon, Jiang Zhiluo and the others arrived at Luoxue Academy in the county town.
This was the first time Jiang Zhiluo and her friends came to Luoxue Academy in the county town.
She thought the area around the academy was remote and desolate, but she didn't expect that the academy was not built halfway up the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain. There were two rows of shops not far away, and the shops on the street opposite the academy sold all kinds of delicious food, which was very lively.
There are many residential areas nearby.
"It's quite lively around the academy here."
Zhou Chaoxi explained, "I heard that when the academy was established ten years ago, this place was very remote and no one lived nearby."
“But after the academy was established, the dean didn’t set up so many rules and allowed everyone to set up stalls nearby.”
"Gradually, many people moved here, built houses, and opened stalls and shops, so it became lively."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded. There were many people in the college, so if she set up a small stall here, business would be good.
Jiang Zhiluo thought that if she had an ox cart, it wouldn't take long to drive it to the town, and she could also set up a stall here to sell bread.
Jiang Zhiluo sat on the ox cart and looked around, also observing the market here and observing business opportunities.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the academy.
The street in front of the academy is very quiet and no stalls are allowed to sell things.
Jiang Zhiluo stepped forward and said to the guard, "Big brother, we are fellow villagers of the academy's Liu Ting'an. We are here to give him something. Could you please help pass the message along?"
Jiang Zhiluo had already prepared the copper coins, but before she could make a move, the guard politely said, "Please wait a moment, I'll pass the message on."
With that, the guard went in.
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. She didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
"Just by looking at the guard's attitude, you can tell that this academy has a good atmosphere."
Zhou Zhaoxi said, "Sister Jiang, Luoxue Academy is the best academy in our county. Everyone says that the deans and teachers are very good, and the learning atmosphere is good."
"I heard that the old dean was extremely knowledgeable and was once the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. However, I heard that after the Crown Prince passed away, the Grand Tutor retired and returned to his hometown to open the academy here."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. "Grand Tutor of the Imperial Household?" His knowledge must be extraordinary.
Zhou Zhaoxi came to the county town many times, and he remembered everything he heard people say.
While the two were talking, Liu Ting'an came out hurriedly with a classmate.
He saw Jiang Zhiluo at the door, so he stepped forward and bowed, "Sister-in-law, you're here!"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Here are the 520 bottles of chili meat sauce that we promised to deliver. Each bottle weighs a little over a pound. Take a look."
Liu Ting'an said happily: "No need to look, sister-in-law, what you packed must be correct."
"Yes, this is fifteen taels of silver and six hundred coins."
As he said that, Liu Ting'an handed the purse to Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo took a look and confirmed that she was right. She asked in surprise, "You've prepared this long ago?"
Liu Ting'an smiled and said, "Yes, I told my classmates and friends after I came back. They didn't mind the small amount of money, so they were all happy to buy the chili meat sauce and paid me early."
"I thought it would be inconvenient for you to carry so many copper coins, so I went to the bank to exchange them for silver first. This will make it easier for you."
Jiang Zhiluo had never thought that Liu Ting'an could be so thoughtful. She took the purse and said, "Thank you very much."
"I want to thank you, sister-in-law, for taking the trouble to send it all the way here."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's not a big deal. It's more convenient to find an oxcart."
Liu Ting'an asked his friend next to him to go back and call a few classmates to help get the chili meat sauce.
Liu Ting'an couldn't help but mutter to Jiang Zhiluo, "Oh, sister-in-law, my grandmother and mother both said that the bellows are very useful. It makes it much more convenient to light a fire and cook with it."
"As long as it works."
"Oh, here are ten loaves of bread. Take them and I'll cut some for your classmates to try. If you like the bread and want to buy more, I can make it and send it over."
Jiang Zhiluo wanted to promote her bread in the academy.
When Liu Ting'an heard that he could also eat bread in the academy, he became even happier and nodded in agreement readily.
He needs to help promote it.
After talking for a while, Liu Ting'an saw that his classmate had not come out yet and felt a little confused.
"Why haven't you called the person out yet?"
After a while, his classmate came back.
"It's time for get out of class to end. Why didn't you call everyone out? Didn't you tell them to come get the chili con carne everyone's been craving?"
"Ting'an, yes, the young lady is ill. It seems to be quite serious this time. Everyone ran to the backyard in a hurry."
