A traitor to the imperial court? Master Lu's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Is this how you see me?"
Bai Zhen raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it true? You didn't leak the news to the Shen family?"
Master Lu frowned: "But the Shen family is not in opposition to the court, and the Shen family has not committed any crime. Besides, my second sister is a member of the Shen family. I think I should do this."
Bai Zhen snorted, "You can't distinguish between public and private. In my opinion, people like you don't deserve to stay in the government office. Lord Liu insists on having his own way, and you still have the nerve to continue hanging around in front of me. You still want me to treat you well? Dream on. If possible, you'd better not follow me. I'm a little annoyed when I see you."
Bai Zhen has always been this kind of person. She will never humble herself to please others. She says what she thinks and even opensly expresses her dislike for someone. Once she has made up her mind, it is almost impossible to change it.
The only thing she changed in her life was secretly letting Li Zichun go, but Li Zichun came back. Suddenly she remembered that she had done something like this before. She hated her former irrationality, so she hated Master Lu even more when she saw him now.
Master Lu was so angry. Although he was only a master in the prefectural government, he was also a scholar. He had never suffered such grievances since he was a child. He looked at Bai Zhen and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xia Xue was a little surprised: "Master Lu really left, Miss, are we going too far?"
Bai Zhen raised an eyebrow: "What did we do? How did it go too far? I have clearly shown that I hate him, and it is best if he does not follow me. I don't know if Lord Liu is old and confused, and he still keeps such a person."
Xia Xue stopped talking for a moment. She thought that with their status, it would be bad to have a falling out with the prefect. So in order not to further increase the young lady's bad impression of them, she decided not to say anything.
But after driving away Master Lu, Bai Zhen and the others were in trouble. There was a three-way intersection in front of them, and they had no idea which way to go. Bai Zhen frowned and sent her bird out to find out which road had the academy ahead.
They had been out for a long time, and the sun had come out, so the three of them could only stand under the tree and wait. Xia Yu was a little helpless: "I didn't expect that Master Lu was still a little useful."
Bai Zhen glanced at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu quickly shut up. Just when the three of them were getting impatient, they suddenly heard the sound of a horse. Someone was riding over. Bai Zhen and the other two looked over and found that it was an acquaintance.
Wan Yu looked at Bai Zhen and two maids standing under the tree, and was a little confused: "Miss Bai, why are you three here?"
Bai Zhen sighed, "It's hard to explain. Aren't you in South Island? Why are you in Fucheng? Where are you going?"
During this period of time, although Bai Zhen had no other thoughts about Wan Yu, the two of them got along very well, so some words came out naturally.
Wan Yu did not hide it: "I am almost done with my work in South Island, so I can just leave Wan Feng here to guide me. So the county lady asked me to come and help you. Three hundred schools, how can you come in time? You haven't told me yet, why are you here? Is that carriage in front yours?"
Looking at the horse beside Bai Zhen, and thinking of the carriage that was stuck just now, Wan Yu didn't understand at all. He got off the horse and looked at Bai Zhen: "I'll lead the horse, you get on. You must be tired standing here."
Bai Zhen did not hide anything and told Wan Yu how the three of them got here. She then looked at Wan Yu and said, "It was my fault this time. I thought someone was leading us and I didn't check the route. We haven't arrived yet!"
So that's how it is. Wan Yu frowned, "That Master Lu is really unreliable. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't leave people here. It's in the middle of nowhere. What if something goes wrong?"
Wan Yu knew that he was trying to deceive Master Lu without leaving any trace. A woman, whether she paid special attention to a man or hated him, was a very dangerous thing, and he had to be on guard. This was also the reason why he had to come quickly after learning about Master Lu's affairs.
He had seen before that two people who didn't like each other suddenly got married. It turned out that they disliked each other because they liked each other and wanted to attract each other's attention. He would never let this happen.
Bai Zhen wasn't worried about this: "Not really, after all, I still have some skills. It just took time. I originally planned to visit three colleges today, but it looks like I can only visit one."
Wan Yu thought it was funny. This Bai girl was really carefree. "It's okay. I'm a guard who is very familiar with Fucheng. I can take a shortcut. I'll accompany you then."
Bai Zhen nodded, but didn't refuse. Besides, Wan Yu was sent by the county lady, so she couldn't refuse. Besides, she didn't dislike Wan Yu, so it seemed okay to have Wan Yu by her side.
Led by the guards, the group soon arrived at Yuanwu College. The people at Yuanwu College didn't know about the change of ownership yet, so when they learned that someone was coming to visit, they didn't say anything, but instead welcomed the person in warmly.
"I wonder who in your family is going to study at the academy? Can I introduce them to you?"
Looking at the clothes of the people in front of him, they all looked rich or noble, and the receptionist was particularly enthusiastic. Bai Zhen narrowed her eyes, but did not say that it was someone else. Instead, Wan Yu spoke up: "It's my younger brother, who just came from Kyoto. He is still young and wants to find a college to study."
"Someone recommended Yuanwu College, so we came to take a look. I wonder if we can check out the accommodation conditions at the college?"
Hearing this, the receptionist understood that the person in front of him wanted to leave his brother here. He nodded with a smile and said, "Come with me. I will take you to our college dormitory to check out the situation."
"On the way, I will introduce the dormitory situation of the academy to you two. The dormitories are divided into three levels, and the number of people staying in each level is different. There are single rooms, double rooms, and the rest are for ten people."
"It's relatively more expensive for a single person, one tael of silver per month, half a tael for a double, and two hundred wen for ten people."
The fees are actually calculated on a month-by-month basis. Bai Zhen raised an eyebrow. At first, she was moved by the good deeds mentioned by the Shen family, but now it seems that is not the case at all
"Do you have many private rooms here? I want to see what they look like."
The introducer frowned and looked at the person in front of him. Bai Zhen smiled and didn't say anything more. Wan Yu smiled very kindly: "My brother is a little timid. If he can't find a roommate, he needs to see what kind of person the roommate is."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist was a little puzzled. Wouldn't a family that looked so rich choose a single room? No, single rooms are more profitable. He opened the door of a room. There was only a bed and a bookshelf in the room. It looked simple and clear and not bad.
"In fact, as for accommodation, this environment is the best. Most of the students in our college live in single rooms, and only a few live in ten-person rooms. After all, ten-person rooms are too easily affected."
Bai Zhen still insisted on going to take a look. I had no choice but to take her to see it. The room was quite large for ten people, but with ten beds, it looked very cramped.
Suddenly, I remembered what Shen Yuhuan said. Every college has a place for free accommodation. I wonder where it is? Thinking of this, Bai Zhen said directly: "Take me to see where the students live for free."
When the receptionist heard about free accommodation, he was stunned: "Don't you have someone who wants to be sent to the college to study?"
Wan Yu smiled and said, "Some people are coming to enroll, but we are not here just for enrollment. Please take us to see the free accommodation first."
The free accommodation was even more messy, and it was a large dormitory with only one bed to sleep on, and there was no place to put clothes or anything.
Bai Zhen sighed: "These people's road to study is really difficult. How is the food here?"
Are you still concerned about food? It happened to be lunch time, and these people came at the same time. I could only take them to the cafeteria.
The college has accommodation, so of course there is a cafeteria. However, the quality of the food in the cafeteria can only be known by those who have tasted it. After following the receptionist into the cafeteria, Bai Zhen sat down and asked Xia Xue, Xia Yu and the guards brought by Wan Yu to get the food.
I ordered a little of everything and asked my daughter to try it. The food here is not very good, and it is expensive. The cheapest thing is steamed bread.
Bai Zhen looked at these things and the money she had spent, her face darkened, and she glanced at Wan Yu. Wan Yu blinked and looked at the guards around her.
"Go and ask that student to come over."
Wan Yu pointed at a student wearing patched clothes, and the guard walked directly towards the student: "Student, my master would like to ask you to come over."
The invited student looked at Wan Yu with a puzzled look on his face, but still cooperated: "Hello, sir. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Wan Yu smiled kindly: "I just want to know, how much does it cost per month for you to study here?"
The student was stunned, obviously not knowing that the person in front of him would actually ask this: "I wonder who you are?"
Wan Yu did not hide her identity: "I am the dean of Kyoto Official School, and one of the deans in charge of the current school reform."
When they heard about the dean of Kyoto Official School, not only the student but also the receptionist were almost frightened. Is this person of such a high status
"Are you serious? Are you really the dean of Kyoto Official School?"
You should know that there are only ten presidents of Kyoto Official Academy, and these ten people are the ten people who have performed outstandingly in the rectification of Kyoto Academy. Wan Yu and Bai Zhen are among them.
