Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The students were very happy and continued to sing.

A lot of meat was cooked. Zhuzi asked everyone to line up. After the first bowl of meat was cut, he asked sweet potatoes to be delivered to Liu Yunxiang and the others.

"Sir, Mistress, please try your bamboo skills."

Seeing the sweet potato with an expectant look on his face, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked Yan Mu to take it, then picked up his chopsticks and tasted a piece. It was indeed an unexpected deliciousness, "It's delicious!"

Sweet Potato smiled proudly, and turned around and shouted to Bamboo: "Master Wife said the meat you cooked is delicious!"

Zhuzi smiled innocently and continued to share the meat with everyone.

"This is meat, fat meat, how can it not be delicious!" Others shouted.

Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu sat down on the steps of the school and shared a bowl of meat.For them who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, this bowl of pork is too ordinary. I don’t know if it’s because the bamboo craftsmanship is really good or something else, but they think it’s very delicious.

Fang Wanjin pulled Xie Si out of the school and asked him to squat with everyone and eat meat.Xie Si was a little shy, so Fang Wanjin put the dishes and chopsticks in his hands and forced him to join in the fun.

Half a fan of pork weighed several dozen kilograms, and no matter how hard the teenagers tried to eat it, they still couldn't finish it.The remaining bamboo was wrapped in salt and put in an urn, saying that if you put a few slices in when cooking, it would last for a long time.

There was no need for Liu Yunxiang and the others to take special care of them. The children cleaned up the dishes by themselves, then washed up and went to bed.The older children take care of the younger ones, and the younger ones obey the older ones. From this point of view, Mr. Bai taught very well.

At night, Yan Mu was already asleep when he suddenly heard some movement and immediately opened his eyes.He had already developed a high degree of vigilance on the battlefield, so no matter how deeply he slept, he could hear any movement.

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was sleeping soundly in his arms, he carefully put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt carefully, then put on his outer clothes and got up. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a ray of light going into the bamboo forest.

He frowned, turned around, closed the door, and followed the light into the woods.It wasn't that far away, but I saw three dark figures working under the dim oil lamp.

"No, there is an eye here, and there must be bugs in it."

"Sweet potato, hold the lamp for me while I chop down the bamboo."

The three of them discussed, one held a lamp, and the other two worked together to knock down the bamboo and then began to chop it.It's very crisp once in a while, especially at night.

After a few chops, a hole was cut in the bamboo. The bamboo took the oil lamp and shined it inside. When he saw something, he said excitedly: "Wow, there are so many!"

The other two people were also very happy. One took the oil lamp, and the other took the bamboo tube from his waist and picked out the meat insects from the bamboo.

When Yan Mu saw this, he didn't step forward anymore and turned around to go back.

Early the next morning, when they heard the bell ringing, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang woke up and looked at the sky. It was still dark.Thinking it was the bell of Mid-Levels Academy, the two hurriedly got up. After washing and dressing, they found that all the rooms were still dark and no students got up.

At this time, they heard the sound of shouting slogans in the distance, and then they suddenly realized that the bells were coming from Huiming Academy and Mingyuan Academy in front of them.

Yan Mu yawned, "As lazy as they are, they still want to pass the provincial examination?"

Liu Yunxiang looked around and saw a bell in the corner of the yard. "When Mr. Bai was here, he would call them to get up early to study. When Mr. Bai was away, they would be lazy if no one rang the bell. They are still children, so it's understandable. .”

As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang walked over and knocked several times. After a while, the students came out of the room one after another, all in a daze.

"From now on, at this point, when you hear the bell, get up quickly and go to school to study. I will assign an article every day, and you must memorize it. You won't be able to memorize it." Yan Mu folded a bamboo stick from the side , snorted and said: "Palms of the hands or soles of the feet, it's your choice."

Yan Mu himself had an aura of coercion, and his words were deliberately stern, making him look even more ferocious. The students hurriedly ran to the classroom in front of him.

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang followed behind and entered the school with the students. Only then did they realize that there was someone inside who was reading in the morning, it was Xie Si.He got up earlier than the students of Mingyuan Academy and Huiming Academy. Such big news finally made him take out his book and watched in surprise as his classmates sat down in their seats one by one.

After everyone sat down, Liu Yunxiang checked the number of people and found that there were still four missing.

She came to the backyard and first went to Fang Wanjin's house. After knocking on the door several times, he lazily came out.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "You didn't hear the bell? Why don't you get up and read in the morning?" Fang Wanjin yawned, "I never read in the morning."

"Mr. Bai also tolerates you?"

"Mr. Bai gave me permission not to go to morning reading."

"Why?"

Fang Wanjin was amused, "I came to the academy just to learn a few words, and I can't take part in the imperial examination."

"Are you a businessman?"

Fang Wanjin nodded and yawned again, "They don't allow me to take the exam. I'm not surprised."

With that said, he took a step back and was about to close the door and go back to sleep.

Liu Yunxiang held his hand up and said seriously: "Studying is not just a way to take the imperial examination. Reading can help you understand things, cultivate your mind, and shape your character. Since you are studying in the academy, you are a student of the academy. You must abide by the rules and work hard like them. .”

"Mr. Kebai..."

"I don't care what Mr. Bai tells you. Mr. Yan and I are in charge of you now, so you must obey."

Fang Wanjin crossed his shoulders and looked like a scoundrel, "I won't listen!"

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Fang Wanjin hard on the forehead, "Mr. Yan's bamboo stick is still waiting for you. Tighten your skin and quickly go to the school to admit your mistake. He can be gentler on his hand."

"I do not……"

"Can you beat him?"

Fang Wanjin pursed his lips. Of course he couldn't hit him, and he had no chance to fight back.He rubbed his forehead, reluctantly stepped out of the house, stamped his feet before walking towards the front yard.

Liu Yunxiang checked other houses in particular and did not see Zhuzi and the three of them.

Someone needs to make breakfast. There is no cook in the academy, so Liu Yunxiang can only do it.But as soon as she lit the fire in the stove, she worked for a long time. The smoke was billowing, and it finally started to burn. The pot almost cracked. It turned out that she forgot to put in the water.

I ate rice porridge in a hurry. There wasn't much rice, so the soup was thin and watery.

When the students came out of the school, Liu Yunxiang served rice to everyone. Some of them took a bite eagerly, and then said with difficulty: "Master, the rice is filled with uncooked food."

Liu Yunxiang: "..."

I was busy all morning and was so embarrassed that I still couldn't eat.

In the morning class, Zhuzi and the others hadn't come back yet. Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but start to worry, and after thinking about it, he called Fang Wanjin out.

"They went to sell bamboo insects at the foot of the mountain." Fang Wanjin said.

"Didn't they catch them for themselves to eat?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Master Wife, you seem to be ignorant of the sufferings of the world.?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Children in our countryside catch bamboo insects to sell them for money. The money they sell is exchanged for food, fabric for sewing clothes, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones sold for school. How can we bear to eat them ourselves?" (End of Chapter)
