Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 231 Academy Courtyard

The interior of the academy is also high and low. The relatively flat area on one side seems to be where classes are held. They now step onto the bluestone steps and continue to walk upwards.

There is a platform or a short distance every few steps on this side.

The further you go up, the more you can see the difference in the house. It has become better. When you walk out of the stairs, there is a dirt road. But this is really a big deal.

When they arrived in front of a small courtyard, the person leading them knocked on the fence door frame and then shouted, "Lin Jingchen, someone is looking for you."

A head popped out from the kitchen. "Who is it?"

"It's Mr. Xiao. Is Lin Jingchen here? His parents are here to see him."

The man he called Young Master Xiao was about sixteen or seventeen years old, just at the time of transformation into an adult. He was dressed in dark red clothes, was tall and had a handsome face.

The door of a room on the other side opened, and the man in sky blue clothes was Lin Jingchen.

Lin Jingchen was originally reviewing his homework in the room. Once he focused, it was difficult for the outside world to disturb him.

However, he vaguely heard someone calling his name. He looked up from the book and heard someone say that his parents came to see him.

Then he quickly opened the door and was surprised to see the people at the door, "Dad and Mom, why are you here!"

Lin Jingchen quickly opened the decorative fence door and took the basket from his mother.

He thanked the person who brought his parents here, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao."

"You're welcome. I'll leave first."

"Mom and Dad, why are you here all of a sudden? How did you get here? Did you come here after seeing the letter I sent home?"

Listening to his son's words, Lin Shan teased, "What's wrong? You've become more talkative after not seeing him for a few days."

When they reached the stone table in the yard, Lin Jingchen put the basket on the table, and Lin Shan also put down the backpack on his back.

The person standing by came forward to greet them, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Xiao Nanchi, and I live in the same courtyard with Jingchen."

"Okay, we can rest assured that you guys can take care of each other."

"Then uncle and aunt, you guys chat first." Then he turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Lin Jingchen brought Ye Wan and Lin Shan to his bedroom, and they both looked around.

It was about the same size as the one at home, with a single bed placed east-west to the north, a small table at the head of the bed, a wardrobe at the foot of the bed, and next to it was a simple shelf with several layers of things on it, with some miscellaneous things on it.

There is a door on the east side of the south, a window on the west side, and a desk against the wall on the side with the window.

Things are placed against the wall, so the space in the middle seems quite large.

Ye Wan went to the bed and touched the quilt, which was made of cotton and cotton. She exclaimed, "You live in a pretty good place!"

"It's pretty good, almost the same as at home."

In fact, when I first moved in, it was very simple. I added things to it bit by bit, and the room became what it is now.

Lin Shan weighed the backpack to the side of the small table and said, "I brought you some things from home. Come and have a look."

On top of it is a bamboo bag, which contains some small but practical things.

There was a paper bag of thirteen spices, which he used to add flavor when cooking. They had a kitchen in their yard and cooked occasionally, so now he could put it to use.

For fear that there would be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, I brought a lot of mugwort sticks made by Jiangci last year. These mugwort sticks are made by adding some things to them, and they are very effective in repelling mosquitoes.

There are also a few toothbrushes, probably because they were worried that he might break them and it would be inconvenient to buy new ones.

There is also an ointment for bruises and sprains prescribed by a famous old doctor in town.

"The clothes are underneath."

Ye Wan brought out the clothes and placed them on the bed. Lin Jingchen took a quick look and saw that there were four or five sets of clothes, all of which were carefully selected.

Ye Wan took out the purse from under the clothes, saw that it was bulging and full, and handed it to Lin Jingchen, "This is fifty taels of silver in total. Don't worry about not having enough money. Buy some good pens, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Lin Jingchen felt the heavy purse in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment. His parents gave him fifty taels of silver right away, which made him feel it was too hot. How could he spend it?

"Father and mother! I really don't need that much money in this academy. I only have five taels of silver left from the last time I brought it."

"It's okay, just take it and hide it for future use."

"That's fine."

Lin Shan took out the things at the bottom, and Lin Jingchen could tell from the shape of the cloth bag that it contained soap.

Sure enough, when the bag was opened, there were neatly arranged soaps and soaps inside, more than a dozen bars of soap and five or six bars of soap.

"Keep two for yourself, and share the rest with your classmates."

"Okay, let's talk about it when they all come back in the evening."

After all, he had only been here for a short time, and most of the people here were former students of this academy. Some of them had helped him a lot, and he was still considering what to give as a return gift, and now he had one.

The basket contains all the things I bought yesterday and this morning.

This small courtyard is half the size of their home yard. The main room is very small, even smaller than the bedroom, and after all, it is not used much.

When coming out of the room, Ye Wan saw a sign hanging on the door with Lin Jingchen's name on it.

Lin Jingchen introduced to Ye Wan, "Sometimes unfamiliar classmates or managers come to look for someone, if they are not sure, they can look at the sign hanging next to it.

The fence in this yard is just a decoration. You can see the name on the sign if you pass by it and stick your head out.

Lin Jingchen took the two of them for a walk around the academy.

They walked out of the courtyard. Lin Jingchen turned around and pointed upwards, saying, "This large area over here is where people live."

"So big!"

"Down here, there are two people in one room, and there is no yard. The conditions up there are better. The best ones up there are one person living in a room with a yard."

"This is a really good condition!"

"After all, we paid quite a bit of money this year."

Lin Jingchen took Ye Wan and Lin Shan to where they had classes every day.

"There are three classes of students, A, B and C. They are the three rooms connected here."

Lin Jingchen pointed at it and showed it to Ye Wan and Lin Shan.

They could look inside through his window. The room looked quite large, but there weren't many low tables inside.

"There are only about thirty people in this room."

Lin Shan looked at the large area of ​​houses that were some close and some far away, "There are so few people, what about the others?"

"There are relatively few students, most of them are scholars who have not yet participated in the county examination."

Going further over there, there are some trees, bamboo forests, pavilions, corridors, and a lake.

The whole atmosphere is very literary and elegant.

Xiao Nanchi, who was in the courtyard, looked at the pastries carefully arranged on the plate, then looked outside at the empty courtyard and sighed.

He picked up the remaining cake on the plate next to him and took a bite. Someone missed his chance to enjoy the cake because the chestnut cake was better eaten while hot.

It’s better to save it and wait until Lin Jingchen comes back. He has definitely never eaten this pastry. It is his family’s unique secret pastry.

Ye Wan asked Lin Jingchen, "Do you have any food in your kitchen? It's noon now, and I thought about making you a meal."

"Yes, Xiao Nanchi and I both know how to cook, so we make some food for ourselves during our days off."

"Looking at his demeanor, he must be a rich young master. I didn't expect he could cook."

"When I first met him, I thought the same thing as my mother."
