Then I heard Ji Xiaoxiao say, "It's okay. I'll go to class tomorrow morning and ask for a half-day leave from Mr. Xu."
Xu Xu was stunned for a moment and said a little worriedly: "But you, didn't you say that Mrs. Xu is stingy?"
Ji Xiao made a heart-warming gesture: "I can influence him with love!"
This trick was very effective. Every time she didn't want to go to the academy, she would pretend to be sick with her father. This trick worked many times.
Although she felt that Xu Cenran was very narrow-minded, he wouldn't even let her take sick leave.
After hearing her words, Xu Xu seemed to understand. Naturally, he didn't know that Ji Xiaoxiao's so-called influence with love was just pretending to be sick and asking for leave.
As a result, when Ji Xiao was ready to go to class, the person who came to give lectures was a tutor from another class. The tutor's surname was Li. Taifu Li said that Xu Cenran had taken a day off for something and would come back to teach them tomorrow.
After Ji Xiaoxiao heard this, he subconsciously felt that Xu Cenran was also deliberately making excuses not to come to class.
But it would be better if Xu Cenran didn't come to class, which would make it easier for her to ask for leave.
After class, Ji Xiao used her superb acting skills to deceive Mrs. Li. When Mrs. Li saw that she kept coughing, her face turned red. He really thought she had a cold, so he asked Cenran. She was granted half-day leave.
When Ji was on leave, he happily went back to the yard to change into a dress, took some silver, and set off down the mountain with Xu Xu.
She planned to use this half-day holiday to go shopping at the foot of the mountain, and also buy some gifts for her family and sister Qingzhi. When Xiu Mu returned home, she would bring them back.
She and Xu Xu waited until they came down the mountain to meet Xie Yang. Xie Yang was quite cheerful. The three of them talked and laughed along the way and went to Hua Yu Tang together.
There were more people in Huayutang than expected, but it was indeed fun. Many talented people were writing poems and arguing inside, and there was also a large screen dedicated to people writing poems as souvenirs. Xu Xu and Xie Yang were all excited when they saw each other within a few hours. After going, she couldn't help but go over and write a song herself. Of course, the level was far inferior to those of these capable people present.
When Ji was walking around the downstairs of Hua Yutang, she saw that Xu Xu was still slowly reading the poems written by others. She estimated that it would take a long time for Xu Xu to finish reading, so she said to Xu Xu, I went up to the second floor and took a look.
The scene on the second floor is very different from that downstairs. It's quite quiet up there. Many people are sitting at the coffee table drinking tea and chatting. There is an elegant screen between the tables.
Ji Xiao thought it was quite interesting, so he chose a table and sat down. Then he stopped the boy who was pouring tea and asked him to pour him a cup of tea too.
At that time, there was a man and a woman sitting on the seat behind the screen. The man was Xu Cenran, and the woman was his sister Xu Linlang. Xu Cenran took leave this time to take his sister into the city. .
Xu Linlang was chatting with her brother when she suddenly saw that Xu Cenran had stopped talking and his eyes were still fixed on the screen behind her, as if he was staring at something. Xu Linlang was stunned for a moment and turned around to look. He looked at the screen and didn't find anything strange, so he turned back and asked, "What's wrong, Cen Ran?"
Xu Cenran frowned slightly, and suddenly stood up. Without having time to explain anything to his sister, he walked behind the screen and took a look - as expected.
