Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 333 Give Dean Zhu a Small Gift

When Han Duyue and Song Ning walked out of the inn the next day, another carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn, but this time it was actually sent by Dean Zhu.

"Both of you, please get in the carriage." The coachman jumped down from the carriage, helped them move the footstool, and stepped back respectfully.

Song Ning said "Thank you", and helped Han Duyue into the carriage.

Han Duyue had only seen the county school from the outside, and it was the first time he went in today, so he couldn't help but sit on the carriage and look around curiously.

"The county school in Yucheng County is very famous in the entire prefecture, and many students from nearby counties come here admiringly," Song Ning whispered to Han Duyue, pointing to the two courtyards on the left and right sides of the avenue, and Some of the attics, "This is where beginners take classes. The further the attic is, the longer the students will study and the higher the qualifications."

"Wouldn't you be studying in the first attic when you're young?" Han Duyue asked.

Song Ning shook her head with a smile: "Of course not. The attic in front of this place is all for beginners. Now that Xiaonian has passed the Tongsheng exam, he is no longer a beginner."

At this time, the carriage happened to pass through a large open space surrounded by only a few wooden sticks, so the students who were practicing boxing and kicking could be clearly seen inside.

"Is this the martial arts training ground of the county school?" Han Duyue's eyes lit up. From this point of view, the county school is really good, and it also pays great attention to the physical health of learning.

After passing the training ground, there are several attics with similar layouts, and then there is a huge wooden door, and the carriage drives in through the side door.

"This is the place where children study and attend classes, and there are also places for scholars to attend class." Song Ning revealed that this was not the first time she came here, and she dutifully became a tour guide.

Han Duyue sighed with emotion, and heard Song Ning say again: "The reason why the children's study place is arranged in the innermost place is because it is relatively quiet here, and secondly, it is also to strengthen their system."

"What does this have to do with strengthening your physique?" Han Duyue was puzzled.

"Look around, isn't this road very far? Normally, students are not allowed to enter in a carriage, and this huge county school has only one entrance and exit, which is the main entrance." Song Ning answered, the carriage has gradually After stopping, Song Ning helped Han Duyue get off the carriage, jokingly said, "If those students see someone coming in in a carriage, they will definitely be very envious."

"Couldn't the gentlemen here also come in by carriage?" Although the carriage arrived quickly, if it was on foot, it would take half an hour.

Before Song Ning could answer, she saw a middle-aged man walking over with a cold face, but instead of walking towards Song Ning and Han Duyue, he stopped in front of the driver.

"You don't know the rules, the coachman. After staying here for so long, don't you even know that you can't enter the carriage in the county school?" The man stopped and began to criticize sharply.

Hearing this, the coachman was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment: "This... Dean Zhu ordered the younger one to pick up these two, and the younger one is also..."

"You don't know the rules yourself, and you still want to push this matter to Dean Zhu. Who gave you the courage?" The man sternly interrupted the driver's defense, and glanced at Song Ning and Han Duyue by the way. glance.

Han Duyue felt a little funny, was this person implying that he and Song Ning gave the driver the courage?
The coachman also subconsciously followed the two of them, but said nothing in embarrassment. After all, no matter who the two parties were, he was not the coachman who could offend them.

Song Ning and Han Duyue looked at each other, stepped forward and said, "I don't know who this is?"

"Since I can stand here, I must be the gentleman here," the man snorted coldly, and raised his chin slightly, "but I don't know who you two are? How did you appear here?"

"Your Majesty and this girl are the guests invited by Dean Zhu. Since you are the gentleman here, I wonder if you can lead the way for the two of us and meet Dean Zhu in the past?" Song Ning smiled slightly, but this The smile was full of rustiness, obviously not reaching the bottom of the eyes.

The man seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded reluctantly: "Alright, although you are indeed a little unruly, since Dean Zhu invited you, you can't be kicked out again." .”

After speaking, he took a step forward on his own.

"Thank you, master, to send us here. This is the fare. Take it." Song Ning smiled and handed the coachman a piece of silver, and without waiting for the other's reaction, she dragged Han Duyue and chased the man away.

The coachman squeezed the broken silver in his hand, wanted to say that Dean Zhu had already paid the fare, but also wanted to say that even if he hadn’t, the fare would be too much, but looking at the backs of the two, the coachman finally didn’t say anything. what.

Han Duyue and Song Ning deliberately kept a distance from the man, and then whispered: "Song Ning, are all the gentlemen in the county school like this?"

"Did you see anyone else when you got off the carriage just now?" Song Ning asked without answering.

Han Duyue glanced back, just got out of the carriage, it seemed that there was only one person waiting there, so saying: "Could it be that person just stood there waiting for us?"

"Perhaps Dean Zhu saw something, so he deliberately arranged for this person to pick us up? I think Dean Zhu probably didn't want to interfere with this matter, so he wanted us to do it ourselves." Song Ning nodded, explaining like this road.

Han Duyue suddenly realized, and couldn't help curling her lips: "Dean Zhu is happy to have a leisurely time. I don't like things like seeing people's faces just as soon as they get off the carriage."

"I don't like it either, so I'm going to give Dean Zhu a small gift later." Song Ning winked at Han Duyue slyly.

The man in front saw Song Ning and Han Duyue chattering behind, stopped immediately, and looked over coldly: "Do you think this is a street? It's so slow, what should I do if it disturbs the students' study?"

Han Duyue and Song Ning ignored this person, but they quickened their pace.

Following the man, the three of them entered a small courtyard, where several rows of bamboo were planted, several potted plants were placed, and a small bamboo building was built, which looked quite quiet.

"The dean is in the yard, you go in." The man stopped in the yard, as if he had no intention of entering the house.

Song Ning said politely: "Thank you, sir, for guiding us. You are tired after walking this way, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea together."

"That's unnecessary." The man wanted to decline, but Song Ning refused to give way.

At this time, there was movement in the house, it was from the window on the second floor of the bamboo building: "Is Mr. Song and Miss Han here? Why don't you come in?"

Song Ning glanced upstairs, smiled and said to the man: "Dean Zhu has already spoken, sir, let me borrow flowers to present Buddha this time?"

The man had no choice but to flick his sleeves angrily, and stepped into the bamboo building first.

The three of them went up to the second floor together, and saw Dean Zhu sitting by the window, looking quite chic.

Han Duyue looked at this man curiously, but apart from the gray flowing robe and the long beard blown by the wind, he didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

"This is Mr. Song and Mrs. Han, please sit down quickly." Dean Zhu raised his hand, but he didn't stand up to greet them.

Song Ning nodded slightly, but instead of taking her seat, she turned to look at the man: "Sir, I don't know if you sit and drink tea at the county school. Are there any rules?"

"Why are you asking me this?" The man's face became stiff, obviously realizing that Song Ning insisted on letting him come to see the dean together.

Song Ning smiled, and said modestly: "Didn't the gentleman say before that we came in in a carriage, which violated the rules of the county school? So we naturally have to ask for advice, so as not to be accused by the gentleman again."

"Yes, we really didn't do it on purpose before, and we didn't find that carriage. If we knew that there was such a rule in the county school, we would definitely not have done it." Han Duyue nodded again and again, showing full strength sorry.

These words not only made the man's face more ugly, but even Dean Zhu's hand holding the tea stopped.

After pausing for a moment, Dean Zhu put down the teacup, and glanced at the man indifferently: "Mr. Sun, I arranged for the carriage to pick up these two distinguished guests. I did not guard the county school well." rules, so..."

Hearing this, Han Duyue couldn't help wrinkling her nose, her surname is Sun, it seems that she really has something to do with Sun Yingying.

"Dean, you are joking. I was just... just talking casually, I am..." Mr. Sun's forehead began to sweat, and he never thought that these two people would be so stingy. Dean Zhu mentioned this matter face to face.

Dean Zhu waved his hand: "Okay, you go back first."

No matter how unwilling Mr. Sun was, he had no choice but to withdraw at this time. He felt a little regretful about his previous actions. If he offended the dean because of this incident, how could he teach in the county school in the future?

After Mr. Sun withdrew, Song Ning and Han Duyue sat down together. Song Ning poured herself a glass of water and handed it to Dean Zhu with both hands: "Thank you, Dean Sun."

"Why am I helping you? I'm doing this for my own sake," Dean Zhu snorted, but still took the teacup over, "Besides, even if I don't answer, you must have your own ideas, right?"

Song Ning showed a helpless expression and shrugged her shoulders: "Who told the dean to be so kind and arrange for Mr. Sun to pick us up?"

Although she brought tea to Dean Zhu, it was only because the other party was an elder and her former teacher, not because Song Ning felt that her actions just now were inappropriate.

Dean Zhu glanced at Song Ning, his expression seemed even more helpless, and he even smiled a little: "You boy, after all these years, your temperament really hasn't changed at all."
