The doctor came quickly and after a careful diagnosis, he found that Xu Baili's abdominal pain had nothing to do with kidney beans.
His abdominal pain was caused by eating too much and having difficulty digesting food due to his old age.
After hearing this, Wen Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.
Live long enough to see everything.
Xu Baili didn't believe it and said, "Last time I had a problem because the kidney beans were not cooked well enough. This time it feels almost exactly the same."
"The last time you ate here was more than 20 years ago." The chef who was 'captured' nearby continued, "At that time, I was only responsible for washing vegetables in the back kitchen."
Xu Baili turned his gaze to the young man next to the chef, "That means he didn't wash the vegetables thoroughly."
Dean Xu couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "I was wondering why the mooncakes your cousin's wife brought from home yesterday were missing. Tell me, did you steal them?"
The only person who could enter and leave his study at will and do such a thing was Xu Baili.
Xu Baili relied on his old face and refused to admit it: "What mooncake? I don't know. My cousin sees that I am alone and wants to pin this on me?"
Seeing this, Wen Ye whispered to Xu Yuejia, "Why don't we stay a little further away? If we stand so close, I think Dean Xu won't be able to perform well."
Xu Yuejia followed her line of sight and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Dean Xu, who was listening at the side, said: "......"
Normally, shouldn't you choose to go out?
He glanced at the old man who was still lying on the stretcher and saying "ouch" in a pitiful manner, and was speechless for a moment. It was true that people make friends like them.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay." The dean's wife brought two glasses of water and said, "You're already so old, but you still think you're still the same as when you were young."
Xu Baili took the warm water and took a sip. "My cousin's wife is sensible. You should learn from her."
Dean Xu wanted to say something more, but his wife stopped him in time. She lowered her voice and said, "Why are you angry with Third Brother? He is alone now, which is pitiful enough."
Dean Xu: “…”
How come I didn't notice that?
The doctor prescribed some medicine for Xu Baili and left.
After this accident, Dean Xu lost a lot of confidence when facing Xu Yuejia.
He told Xu Yuejia his thoughts: "The academy was indeed not thoughtful enough before. We will build a new canteen next door and recruit new chefs to prepare ordinary meals."
“Let the students choose the flavor they like.”
When Wen Ye heard this, he thought, is there any need to choose?
Although Dean Xu's starting point is for the good of the students, it is not necessary to add medicinal herbs to almost every dish.
Xu Yuejia didn't say much, only saying at the end: "Blindly 'hardening their will' is not applicable to all students. I hope Dean Xu can understand this."
Dean Xu nodded.
He was also afraid that there would be a few more "Xu Baili".
After lunch, Dean Xu took everyone to continue to visit the academy. When passing by the northern library, Wen Ye asked, "Dean Xu, can only students of the academy borrow the books in this library?"
Dean Xu replied: "That's the theory."
Wen Ye said "Oh" and asked again: "Can't you make an exception?"
Dean Xu understood what Wen Ye meant and smiled, "Which book does Madam Xu want to borrow?"
Wen Ye said in a serious tone, "I heard Jingrong say before that the library of Songshan Academy is as vast as the sea of smoke. I have loved reading since I was a child. After hearing Jingrong's description, I have always wanted to see it."
She spoke seriously, causing Xu Yuejia to look at her frequently.
Dean Xu has been teaching for a lifetime, and what he likes most are students who are knowledgeable and motivated. Wen Ye's attitude makes him very pleased.
As the saying goes, 'Rules are dead, people are alive'. If it weren't for her, there's no telling when the Yunzhilou incident would have been exposed.
In any case, he shouldn't have refused.
So Dean Xu said, "If Madam Xu wants to borrow the book, she can write the young master's name in the borrowing record, and then ask the young master to return the book after returning to the academy. It will be the same."
Wen Ye: "Thank you, Dean Xu."
Then she added, "It's OK as long as Taozhi and the others accompany me. My dear, go and do your work first."
Today, Xu Yuejia came to the academy not just to accompany her around the academy.
Songshan Academy is one of the three major academies in Dajin after all. Although it is not under the control of the imperial court, now that such a big thing has happened, no matter what decision the academy makes, there must be people from the imperial court on the side.
After all, those students will all take imperial examinations to become officials in the future, and Xu Yuejia's presence represents the emperor's attitude.
Dean Xu understood even more clearly that he was indeed lacking in the canteen matter.
Xu Yuejia didn't know why Wen Ye suddenly wanted to visit the library. He knew her preferences best.
Although he had doubts, he didn't want to expose her.
He even said, "Take your time to choose. Dean Xu and I have a lot to discuss."
Wen Ye nodded: "Okay."
Dean Xu, who was standing beside him, also whispered to his wife, "Madam Xu, please entertain us."
The dean's wife nodded: "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Just like that, Dean Xu invited Xu Yuejia to his study for a talk, and Wen Ye, accompanied by the dean's wife, entered the library of Songshan Academy.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost evening when the couple left the academy.
Dean Xu wanted to invite them to have dinner, but fortunately Xu Yuejia politely declined.
Only after getting into the carriage did Wen Ye heave a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my husband did not agree to Dean Xu."
Xu Yuejia was always thinking about something else. He asked, "Why did you go to the library today?"
Wen Ye was eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Taozhi had brought in not long ago, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm borrowing books, what else can I do?"
Xu Yuejia looked at her, her tone very serious: "Is it borrowed for your younger sister?"
Apart from this, he couldn't think of any reason why she came to the library.
Wen Ye replied vaguely: "I guess so."
Seeing that she admitted it, Xu Yuejia said, "You should have discussed it with me in advance."
Wen Ye didn't understand, "What do you mean, my dear?"
Xu Yuejia retracted her gaze and said, "Songshan Academy has a large collection of books. You didn't know about it beforehand, so the books you borrowed may not be suitable for your little sister."
"Don't worry, my lord. I did my homework before coming here." Wen Ye said with a smile.
"Oh?" Xu Yuejia suddenly asked again, "What books did you borrow?"
Wen Ye blinked, looking like he didn't want to say anything.
Xu Yuejia understood, her eyes dimmed as she asked, "Can't you tell me?"
Wen Ye shook his head and said, "How could that be? They are just some books by saints."
She answered perfunctorily.
Xu Yuejia stared at her quietly for a while, and finally chose to look away and explain her words and actions just now, "It's good that you know what's going on. I'm just worried that you borrowed the wrong book."
Wen Ye nodded, "I understand your kindness, my dear."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuejia's eyes dimmed and she never mentioned the matter again.
The next day.
Today is Wen Ye's last day in Lancheng. Tomorrow she will leave with the team escorting King Wen back to the capital.
After staying in Lancheng for more than ten days, Wen Ye picked a lot of Lancheng specialties for Lu and her family.
Today I went there to pay the money.
Yesterday at the academy, the dean's wife recommended a herbal medicine shop, but Wen Ye declined.
There are some meals that are enough to be eaten once in a lifetime.
Before leaving, Wen Ye stopped Xu Yuejia, who had just returned from Governor Zhuo, and said, "Sir, don't you want to bring some gifts for my brother and Jinglin?"
Xu Yuejia stopped and asked, "What gift?"
Wen Ye took a deep breath and said, "You've been in Lancheng for so long, have you ever thought about picking out some of the local specialties to take back with you?"
Xu Yuejia replied: "They don't need any."
Wen Ye understood, no wonder the children were not close to him.
"Relationships are maintained through mutual interaction." Wen Ye decided to teach him a lesson. "Whether they need something or not is their business. Whether you send gifts or not makes a big difference."
Xu Yuejia asked: "What's the difference?"
Wen Ye sighed and said, "Loyalty has been buried deep in my heart for too long. I have to let it out occasionally to let others feel it."
Xu Yuejia stared at her in silence for a while, then suddenly asked, "You seem to be very experienced?"
Wen Ye asked back: "My dear, do you want to hear my experience?"
Xu Yuejia said nothing.
Wen Ye continued, "If you want to learn, just come with me. I will teach you as we go. I won't charge you too much as a disciple, just two hundred and sixty-three dollars."
She said both zeros and whole numbers.
Xu Yuejia: "......"
In the end, no matter what Xu Yuejia thought, Wen Ye still received the apprenticeship fee of two hundred and sixty-three yuan before entering the specialty product shop.
After buying the specialties, Wen Ye began to fulfill his duty as a teacher and taught Xu Yuejia: "Between family members, the value of the gift is secondary, and the thought behind it is the most important."
Xu Yuejia's eyes froze: "What do you mean?"
It's obvious that he has never done such a thing. Well, he is the second son of a Duke's Mansion and has a noble status. It has always been others who have to flatter him. There is no need for him to condescend to please others.
Wen Ye sighed and asked him, "Can you catch rabbits?"
Xu Yuejia paused and said, "I understand a little bit."
"Then I'll take you somewhere," she said. "This method not only saves money, but also shows your love for me."
An hour later, Wen Ye looked at the dozen gray rabbits he had smoked out of the rabbit hole, then glanced at the lone rabbit hit by Xu Yuejia's arrow, and sighed, "I really only know a little bit."
She thought he was being modest.
Xu Yuejia tried to save her dignity by saying, "I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
Wen Ye immediately said, "I understand."
Xu Yuejia: "...Brother has a small appetite, one is enough."
Wen Ye suppressed a smile and agreed, "My dear, you are right."
"Are you so happy?"
There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
Wen Ye nodded honestly: "I have always thought that you are perfect, but today I discovered that there are things in this world that you are not good at."
All in all, this is the second window God has closed for Xu Yuejia.
Xu Yuejia said: "No one is perfect. I am not as good as you think."
Although she said so, Wen Ye knew in her heart that if she had married someone else, she would not have such a carefree life now.
People should know how to be grateful, and at the very least their words and actions should make the other person feel that they have been rewarded.
Wen Ye expressed her true feelings at the moment: "I think my husband is very good and a perfect husband."
No matter what the future holds, at least up to now, Xu Yuejia has been consistent in what he said and what he did.
Xu Yuejia looked at her, held her breath for a few seconds and then asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
The warm atmosphere was instantly broken.
Wen Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. She suddenly wondered if there was any communication barrier between her and Xu Yuejia.
It was a rare occasion for her to be serious. If she missed this opportunity, she would never have the chance again.
