Chapter 21
"How many classes does the young master have in a month?"

"A month? Of course, there are 20 days of classes in a month."

"No vacation? Isn't that hard work?"

"However, it's not bad to only take classes for ten months a year."

"Are all schools like this?"

"Probably... I heard that some commoner schools have classes for twelve months a year."

"That's even harder."

"It's a bad life, and it's worth working harder." Qi Zhongliu said casually.

"Fate..." Chu Tianshu twitched his lips, and decided to change the topic: "What kind of girl does the young master like? I can help you pay attention."

"I like it?" Qi Zhongliu thought for a while: "I like pretty ones, no bias."

"This kind of impartiality..." Chu Tianshu sighed: "It's pretty good."

"Does the young master know Xie Ningzi, Miss Xie?"

"Xie Ningzi? Who?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's just a plain beauty."

"Is it a beauty? How beautiful is it?" Qi Zhongliu immediately became interested when he heard the word "beauty".

"I heard from Miss Six that there are many more people who pursue Miss Xie Ningzi than Miss Six."

"So exaggerated?" Qi Zhongliu was very excited: "Then, which class is Miss Xie in?"

"Miss Xie is said to not be studying at the Tai Academy."

"Already graduated?"

"I don't know, I'll go back and find out for the young master." Chu Tianshu said.

"also."

The two chatted, and the locomotive arrived at the school.

Chu Tianshu greeted Shen Siyuan and other newly-acquainted book boys, and left the school. He bought a pig's knuckle from Old Man Zhao's shop on the street opposite the school. , began to chat with the old man.

An old man of this age likes to be lively and chat.

Because of aging and frail health, many activities cannot be done, but when I have free time, doing nothing is boring, and there are always things to pass the time.

Chatting with people is undoubtedly the first choice.

Because Chu Tianshu called Old Man Zhao "Grandpa" before, the old man had a deep impression of Chu Tianshu, and now he will see you the next day, and he is very affectionate.

Although it is impossible to say that selling pig hands does not charge money, some old men feel that the news is worthless, but they are not stingy at all.

What Chu Tianshu wants to know most at this moment is all kinds of information.

He needs to have enough understanding of this strange world.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the seemingly useless information that the old man casually confides.

The two chatted for a long time, Chu Tianshu took out his pocket watch to see that the time was approaching, and said goodbye to old man Zhao.

According to the information given by Qi Yingzhi, Xie Ningzi was taught by Qin Fuzheng together with the little emperor, and Qin Fuzheng's schedule was that there was no time for education after ten o'clock in the morning, so most of the time, Xie Ningzi Zihui will leave the palace around ten o'clock and eat snacks on Fuyan Street, which is very close to the palace.

Fuyan Street is about 10 minutes' walk from Taiyuan University.

The students of Taiyuan College have lunch after school at noon, so there is plenty of time.

Chu Tianshu had already learned about the road from Taiyuan College to Fuyan Street in the chat with old man Zhao before, and now it is faster than expected, and it only takes about 10 minutes.

After arriving, Chu Tianshu was not in a hurry to find someone everywhere.

——He didn't know Xie Ningzi's appearance, and he didn't know the specific hobbies of the other party. The only thing he knew was that the other party's age was about the same as Qi Zhongliu.

But how old is it?

With such known information, he couldn't find someone accurately.

Even if the other party is on the same street, even if the other party is right in front of him, Chu Tianshu can't recognize him.

It was impossible for him to go up and ask "Are you Xie Ningzi?"

So today, the main purpose of coming here is to get acquainted with the road and verify the information given by Qi Yingzhi.

Nibbling on the pig's knuckle he bought earlier, Chu Tianshu wandered around the street.

Because it is close to the imperial palace, the houses here are quite grand, and the shops along the street are quite luxuriously decorated.

——It is impossible to maintain such a luxuriously decorated shop by relying on ordinary snacks alone.

Even after Chu Tianshu walked for a long time, he didn't see a shop selling snacks.

Basically, they are restaurants that are known to be tall at a glance.

At first, Chu Tianshu thought it was a special view of the snack bar in another world, so he went in and asked.

Most of the restaurants here focus on exotic flavors.

And most of the restaurants have foreign official backgrounds.

This is even less likely to be a snack shop.

It took Chu Tianshu more than an hour to walk down the whole street. He saw a lot of people from other countries, and he also saw a lot of big restaurants, including white people, black people, yellow hair, white hair, black hair, and red hair. When I arrived, I didn't see a snack bar, let alone a girl in her teens wearing fiber optics.

Such a situation, Chu Tianshu felt, was normal.

The news that Qi Yingzhi got, since according to her, the Chen Palace has already begun to decline, then those people who are more powerful than the Chen Palace must also be able to get it.

Such information...

I dare not say that it is worthless, but it is impossible to have too high credibility.

At least, it is impossible to rely on this information to find such an important person as Xie Ningzi.

After verifying the information, Chu Tianshu rushed back without stopping.

On the way, on Fuyang Street near Taiyuan College, I finally saw a snack bar.

Near noon, the nearby schools have all started to dismiss, and these snack bars have already begun to have customers.

When Chu Tianshu passed by, he saw an old shop with no signboard. There was only a pot at the door, covered with a net, and inside were fresh croaking frogs.

After running for more than an hour, Chu Tianshu entered the store as he was getting hungry.

There were no customers in the shop yet, and in the smaller shop, there were only one table with customers.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen was feeding a girl of eleven or twelve years old to eat frogs.

The clothes of the two of them can tell that they are not cheap.

The younger girl ate the frog and looked up at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu's gaze met her, and he nodded subconsciously.

The girl froze for a moment, then laughed foolishly.

The smile is beautiful, except for the lack of a front tooth, it looks dull.

"Boss, how do you sell the frog?"

"Five-spice and spicy ones cost five cents each, spicy ones cost six cents, and sweet ones cost eight cents." Before the shop owner could say anything, the girl missing a front tooth rushed to answer.

Chu Tianshu pouted: "Frogs can still eat sweets? Who would eat sweets?"

"You don't eat sweets, you have no taste." The girl said immediately.

Chu Tianshu glanced at the opponent's short legs, and responded unceremoniously: "You eat sweets, you are childish."
