i have a sword fairy

Chapter 709

Zhao Rong saw two trees on the way back.

One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

They all grow in front of the Zunjing Pavilion.

This Pavilion of Sutras is not far from Zhu Yourong’s Yilanxuan. It is different from the collection of books in the Shushan Bookstore. The pavilion only collects ancient scriptures and classics of the predecessors, and the audience is only Confucianism and Taoism in the academy. , not as bustling as the study building, the visitors coming in and out are scattered, and there are quite a few people in the academy for this kind of attic that focuses on Confucian and Taoist classics.

However, Mr. Yan had recommended it here before, and Zhao Rong had been here a few times, and indeed found several interesting collections of scriptures and essays, which benefited a lot. Now returning from Yilanxuan, I happened to pass by to return the books.

Before Zhao Rong entered the door, he glanced at the two jujube trees outside the pavilion.

When he came to borrow books before, the jujubes were still immature, but now in the harvest season, the jujube trees are full of branches and leaves, and the green shade is towering. The jujubes hanging between the leaves are green and red spots, and the jujubes are the size of eggs. It must be very sweet .

The counter on the first floor of the Zunjing Pavilion was empty, only behind the rows of gray wooden bookshelves, there were three or two figures of scholars scattered, either reading or in a daze. The atmosphere inside the building was as quiet as the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window. Surprisingly, this Scripture Pavilion has a big name, but it is not very popular. There is only one old servant assigned to the sundries department of the academy, who is responsible for daily cleaning and registering books for rent behind the counter.

Just looking at the rows of bookshelves as high as people, Zhao Rong felt melancholy for the wooden ladder under the foot of the old servant, and didn't know who would send the other away first.Of course, it doesn't rule out that they are hidden bosses, sweeping monks and the like, who just want to come here to experience an ordinary life. After all, they are the most powerful librarians in the universe. Who can say for sure?
Zhao Rong took care of the book by himself, and walked to the counter, but he didn't see the tall and thin old servant whom he had met a few times before. It seemed that he had devoted himself to the current fishing business, and he didn't delay for a moment.So Zhao Rong drew a book return form on the table, and after registering, put the stacks neatly, turned and left.

After passing two jujube trees at the gate, someone did not leave immediately, but slowed down his pace. He looked around, saw no one coming, Zhao Rong rolled up his sleeves, jumped up the tree, and started to slip Pick dates.

"Well, from young to mature, from thin to plump, I can't make you a widow anymore, I have to help." Zhao Rong grabbed a ripe jujube, took a bite, his mouth was full of sweet meat, and nodded sincerely while slurring his words, " Well, let Brother Yushu, Brother Tengying and the others help out after we go back..."

I remember that there was also a jujube tree at the gate of the previous family, enjoying the coolness in summer, picking jujubes in autumn, shaking snow in winter, and filling the garden in spring.

Zhao Rongyi ate a jujube cleanly on the trunk, and then got active, adhering to the humanitarian spirit of not eating and wasting.

A moment later, Zhao Rong on the tree trunk hugged his bulging pockets, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned around to jump off. He didn't even think about turning around, but met the expressionless eyes of the tall and thin old servant, who was sitting In front of a desk on the second floor of Zunjing Pavilion, the windows on the second floor are facing the two jujube trees, and I don't know how long the old servant in the building stared at them.

"..." Half of the jujube that Zhao Rong was biting in his mouth fell down.

The atmosphere inside and outside the window was a bit awkward for a while...

In the end, someone left safely without red face and heartbeat, without being chased all the way in embarrassment.

In fact, when he was staring at the tree at that time, Zhao Rong was going to hand over all the proceeds of the crime, but before he could open his mouth in embarrassment, the tall and thin old servant in the window had already turned his head and spread out a small book at hand. The booklet is written, and it seems to continue to work.

So Zhao Rong tacitly pretended nothing happened, jumped off the tree, left a basket of dates on the counter on the first floor, and left, which is called having a share.

……

Zhao Rong, who had returned with a full load, gnawed ripe dates on the way back, while continuing to read the books that Zhu Yourong threw to him.

Unexpectedly, this is a roster that records the registered students of Lin Lu Academy. It roughly records the personal information of the students in the academy. Naturally, it will not be too detailed, but it is useful to get a general understanding of the "students" in the academy Teachers' are more than sufficient, and it is also convenient for future teacher selection.

"It's no wonder that the matter of apprenticeship was suddenly mentioned before. It turns out that it has been prepared for a long time."

Zhao Rong nodded, and then quickly scanned in a targeted manner, and finally found the names of a few gentlemen specially circled in red, which must have been highly recommended by Zhu Yourong, but to Zhao Rong's surprise, there was an acquaintance among them.

"Old Jijiu? Didn't the old man take fish and not accept apprentices?"

Zhao Rong muttered, then laughed and shook his head after a while.

He found that the people whose names were circled by Zhu Yourong were almost all the respected teachers and teachers in the academy, they were all similar to the old Jijiu, at least they were all six gentlemen of the academy, their seniority and status were naturally extremely high, but correspondingly, the difficulty of apprenticeship was not small... ...And what Zhao Rong had always thought about before was to worship Mr. Yan as his teacher and learn Confucianism, Confucianism and Taoism, even though his current goal is to stand out from the current Mochi students as a seed for reading.

"She seems to have misunderstood."

Zhao Rong sighed, but lowered his head to think about it, after all, it was her kindness, Zhao Rong silently put away the roster...

When returning to Dongli Xiaozhu, the horizon was smudged with the last blush of the sunset, and Zhao Rong could see the crowded figures in the courtyard with the open door from a distance.

"It's a coincidence." Zhao Rong walked into the courtyard quickly, glanced at Yu Huaijin, Xiao Hongyu, Wu Peiliang and a dozen other students, then walked alone towards the water tank by the well.

With his back to everyone, he bent down to ladle water to wash the dates, and joked with a smile: "Quickly tell me, which traitor revealed the military situation, spread the news that the commander has newly acquired a batch of precious dates, and attracted everyone?"

Everyone laughed, and Yu Huaijin, who took the lead, glanced at the dates and asked curiously, "Is this a gift from Mr.? Did Jingzi steal all the dates from Yilanxuan?"

"That's not true. It was picked by the Zunjing Pavilion. I don't usually see anyone pick it and eat it. It's a pity that no one eats it when it's too ripe. I just accepted it." Zhao Rong answered truthfully.

Yu Huaijin nodded without asking further questions.

Zhao Rong picked up a jujube and wiped it on his shoulder, then threw one to Jia Tengying, "Brother Tengying, why are you just staring at me, don't stare at you senior Yu, go serve tea, how long have you been waiting? Leave so many brothers here."

"Oh oh oh." Jia Tengying, who was squatting behind everyone, was taken aback, as if he had recovered his backbone, he immediately ran to the back kitchen.

"It's okay, I didn't wait long." Yu Huaijin shook his head.

Zhao Rong nodded, and ordered behind her: "Remember, take out our best tea and entertain everyone."

Jia Tengying couldn't help but turn around, "Our... tea?"

Zhao Rong said without blinking: "It's okay, as long as you have it."

Jia Tengying: "..."

Yu Huaijin, Xiao Hongyu and the others couldn't help but glance at a certain bachelor who prostituted his roommate for nothing.

Zhao Rong looked as usual, and didn't immediately ask them why they came here. He distributed the cleaned dates to everyone, took a bite of one himself, and half-jokingly said while chewing:
"It's not a coincidence for everyone to come here. Today, there are only dates and hot tea for hospitality, and the kitchen is not open. Brother Tengying likes to eat the steamed buns in the morning, so we must not eat them together. For me, I will have a holiday in the next few days, and I will be busy tonight." They came here specially, and they are waiting for me at the residence outside. They should have prepared hot meals, and I will go out to eat later. As for Yushu...well, he is a big dog, so he can make a generous contribution and let his book boy buy delicacies Go... what about the others?"

Zhao Rong looked around, only to realize that a guy who likes to treat Dongli Xiaozhu as his second home to eat and drink is not in the yard...
