Chapter 828 Reality is very skinny
On this day, several carriages appeared one after another at the deserted gate of the Women's School.
Princess Anping agreed to all the requests for early assessment made by the children in Class B.
Not only that, she treated everyone equally and issued a notice to all the female students in the girls' school: due to climate reasons, everyone can choose whether to conduct the assessment in advance at the end of the year. The only requirement is that the whole class must come together.
Class Diyi took the lead, and with the help of officials from the Dali Temple, they sent a letter home. In the morning, they were happily picked up by a carriage sent by their family.
After Zhang Nishang got into the carriage with her uncle, she stuck her head out of the window and looked back at the white official road.
"Nichang, don't look anymore. Princess Le'an has already left." Zhang Liangchuan reminded.
(Xiao Yining: Thanks to my awesome mother, I’m the first one to leave the girls’ school!)
Zhang Nishang shrank back in disappointment, unable to help but complain, "My little uncle and Father Lin went to the academy together, why didn't he send a letter home like them and ask Grandma to send a car to pick us up!"
Zhang Liangchuan sighed upon hearing this and chided himself, "It's my uncle's fault. I've always worked alongside your grandfather, but I haven't been as foresighted and meticulous as Brother Wang and Brother Lin. For example, yesterday, I hadn't figured out how Miss Yan was going to deal with Lord Yan, but Brother Wang and Brother Lin guessed it right away."
Zhang Nishang was stunned: "Did Sister Yan Ke really do all this today?"
Zhang Liangchuan quickly made a hushed gesture to his niece, "Shh, don't tell anyone about this. Miss Yan's medicine was brought to me by my uncle. If anyone else knows about this, I will be sent to prison."
Zhang Nishang showed an expression of disbelief, but then turned it into admiration.
Zhang Liangchuan was unaware of his niece's mood changes and continued to ramble on: "This is a treasonous act, and I don't want to get involved. But Brother Wang and Brother Lin are not as good as your uncle in the academy. He is good at socializing and making friends with many people. They can't buy these medicines! Nishang, you must learn more from your uncle's way of dealing with people..."
The carriage continued to move forward, leaving deep tracks on the empty road.
On the other side, Xiao Yining, who had already returned home, was sitting by the warm charcoal brazier, warming himself by the fire and shaking his head proudly.
Wan Niang couldn't hide her smile as she held the report card her daughter had received in advance. She nodded with satisfaction and praised her generously, "Qing Jie'er is amazing! She got three A's this year. But don't get too cocky. Keep working hard next year."
Little Yining raised her proud face and said confidently, "Sister Qing will be even better next year. Mom, Sister Liu got a red cross again this year!"
The little kid couldn't help but laugh when he recalled his sister's depressed expression that day.
However, just as she finished her words, her father's voice could be heard beside her, interrupting her: "Everyone has their own strengths. Miss Liu is just not well-educated. Sister Qing, don't laugh at others!"
"Lululu!" The kid immediately made a face in response.
Lin Yuzan: (* ￣︿￣), this stinky girl!
Wan Niang admired it for a moment, then carefully put away her daughter's report card. Then she asked with concern about what happened at the girls' school: "My husband, did Miss Yan really give Master Yan a sterilizing drug?"
"Not bad!"
Lin Yuzan's face showed a hint of sarcasm. "Miss Yan's infertility medicine should have been given by Nalan Shuyi. She is not doing well in Prince Yu's mansion, and her clan is running out of people. If she wants to gain a foothold, she must seek help from another clan. Yan Ke is the best entry point."
Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙ “a, Nalan Shuyi? She really hasn’t heard of this name for a long time!
The old man glanced at his daughter calmly and continued, "But if Lord Yan could keep himself clean, Nalan Shuyi would not have anything to do with his daughter."
Wan Niang nodded in agreement. "Indeed, how could he have such an affair with the aunt of the girls' school?"
"You are wrong, Wan Niang. Lord Yan has other things on his mind." Lin Yuzan corrected her.
"Think about it first. How did Nalan Shuyi discover that something was wrong with Lord Yan?"
After hearing these words, Wan Niang fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yining already had a guess in her mind that Nalan Shuyi was now living in the male protagonist's house, and Yan Shi must have had some interactions with her there. In short, Yan Shi had also been following the male protagonist.
Wan Niang pondered for a moment and then offered her own answer: "Could it be Lord Yan and Prince Yu?"
Lin Yuzan nodded appreciatively. "If my suspicions are correct, Yan Shi is also involved in cheating in the upcoming imperial examination. Now that he has been punished, perhaps even greater disaster can be avoided in the future."
"Lord Yan scared Sister Qing, and Lord Chen said he would give him thirty lashes." Xiao Yining replied with a gloating tone.
Wan Niang caressed her daughter's head lovingly and soothed her softly, "Qing Jie'er was frightened today. Mother will reserve a table for you tonight."
"Huichunlou!" The kid immediately became more and more demanding.
Wan Niang was in a good mood and agreed without hesitation: "Okay!"
Unexpectedly, this proposal was immediately refuted by the old man who spoiled the mood.
"Why eat at Huichunlou? Save this money for the New Year." Lin Yuzan said unhappily.
Xiao Yining: (▼へ▼メ), an old man who has to endure hardship without any hardship!
"Mom..." The little kid was about to cry, asking for the strongest help.
Wan Niang held her daughter in her arms distressedly and looked at her husband with disapproval: "Brother Zan..."
Lin Yuzan reluctantly explained, "Wanniang, I observed the stars at night and concluded that Yanjing will be hit by a snowstorm this year, and we will lose contact with the outside world."
"By then, food will be more valuable than gold. I wonder how many people will freeze to death. Our family needs to stock up on rice and food early, and we must also be on guard against those who would take risks to survive. Tomorrow, your brother and I will go out of the city to buy food, and secretly bring it back at night to avoid attracting attention. My silver has been beaten into a golden bed. Please give me the money you have in your family. There is a drought this year, and food is already dozens of times more expensive than in previous years. I will buy as much as I can."
The old man spoke at length and had a very good plan.
However, what he hadn't expected was that his wife was completely unmoved by what he had heard. She even rolled her eyes at him and started to coax her daughter: "Don't worry about your father. I'll send someone to Huichunlou to order a table to comfort Qingjie'er's belly."
Xiao Yining: ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノ, her mother finally stopped suffering, it’s really cause for celebration!
Lin Yuzan looked at this scene in shock: "Wanniang, why don't you believe me?"
Wan Niang glanced at him sideways and said lightly, "Husband, there might be a snowstorm in Yanjing. My grandmother mentioned it to me when she arrived in Yanjing. I also prepared clothes and rice early, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would distract you from your studies. And my grandmother said that when she was about to arrive in Yanjing, she would write to the old house and ask my uncle to ask the escort agency to send some vegetables and other things over. Don't worry, eat as much as you can; you won't starve to death."
"Wow, mom is so great! She's prepared for a rainy day!" Little Yining applauded and flattered.
Lin Yuzan: ...
The old man said with difficulty: "Who else have you told this to?"
Wan Niang looked at him strangely and replied as a matter of course, "I've told my cousin, my mother, our friends, and the families of Qingjie'er's classmates everything, but I don't know if they believe me. Even if there's no snowstorm, it's okay. It's always a good idea to stock up on food for the winter. Isn't that right, husband?"
"Mom is right!" Little Yining clapped again to add to the atmosphere.
Lin Yuzan: =????(??? ????), the original plan to help the old man and get a reward has been ruined!
The old man remained silent for a long time and was deeply shocked!
Jiahe Princess Mansion
Wang Cheng stood in front of the room full of food in silence.
Wang Ersheng patted his eldest son's shoulder in a very good mood and said, "Don't worry, we have everything we want. Dad even ordered the forest to hunt dozens of wild animals. We can eat everything except vegetables."
Wang Cheng: "...Okay, Dad."
