The moon is as round as a disk, the stars are shining, and the cold wind is biting.

Tonight at Zhuxian Academy is destined to be different.

In the backyard where peach blossoms were blooming, under the bright moonlight, Zhu Zirong threw a bundle of wood on the ground.

I sat alone on the stone board aside, looked up at the moon in the sky, and looked down at the black shadow on the ground. The depression in my heart cannot be described in words.

Tonight, he is here to fulfill his promise to bear the salary with bare arms.

Looking towards the dark backyard, he snorted coldly.

This is a waste of time, and there is no one around. Who knows whether he does something or not?

After sitting empty for a while, Zhu Zirong stood up and was about to leave. When he turned around, his eyes met the two soldiers on the wall.

Wearing helmets, armor, and swords at their waists, under the bright moonlight, their eyes were so piercing that it made him feel chilly in his heart.

Zhu Zirong was frightened.

In a panic, he quickly stood up and quickly took off his robe, revealing the white flesh of his upper body.

When the cold wind blew, he shivered, and goosebumps all over his body instantly stood up.

But he didn’t dare to neglect.

Pick up the firewood on the ground and throw it on your back.

The messy wooden stick poked his back and pricked her flesh. He grinned in pain, but he did not dare to slack off at all.

The backyard of Zhuxian Academy is very large. It would take at least half an hour to run around the backyard.

Zhu Zirong rarely does menial work, and the opportunity to do this kind of errand carrying firewood is even rarer.

After running a few steps, he was out of breath from exhaustion.

But who made me lose my bet with that girl today?

Do you regret it?

I regret it!

This is the first time in more than thirty years that he regrets so much!

Who would have ever thought of promising a little junior sister something and getting him involved?

After running for a while, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead. When he glanced at the two people on the wall, he got up again and continued running.

An hour later, when Zhu Zirong returned to the starting point, he fell to the ground.

Cold outside and hot inside, he was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, sticking out his tongue and gasping for breath. He could no longer live up to his previous glory.

In the corner of the backyard, Mo Yan ran out in time, supported him, and said with concern: "Mr. Zhu, hurry, let's go back to the house."

The two of them supported each other and staggered toward the front yard.

When Zhu Zirong looked back, the two soldiers on the wall had already disappeared without a trace.

……

The next day, Xia Qianqian got up early as usual, boiled soy milk and made tofu.

Today, she promised the soldiers yesterday to sell tofu at the gate of Zhuxian Academy.

Afterwards, she thought about it.

No matter how delicious the tofu is, even if you mix the ingredients and give them to them, they will all eat from a big pot. Who will cook and use the ingredients to make tofu.

Besides, the same ingredients may taste completely different when made by different people.

So, she had an idea and omitted the last step for them.

Overnight, she made an iron plate and a small shovel.

I also made the small stove that I had made before, lit the fire early in the morning, lit the stove, put the iron plate on the stove, and a simple iron plate stove was ready.

Today, she came to sell a pan-fried tofu.

After packing everything up, as soon as the door opened, some nearby villagers came to line up early in the morning to drink soy milk and buy tofu.

Now, Xia Qianqian and Yuanbao are rushing to go to college, so Li Yunniang has to take care of everything at home.

Wang Yueyue came to help early in the morning. When she heard that Xia Qianqian had gone to school, she stopped her with an envious look on her face, "Qianqian, tell me, can I go to Zhuxian College to study?"

Before she was born, she went to school for a few years, but as she got older, her parents didn't want her to go and they just wanted to be busy with her marriage.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

She never got married and her studies were wasted.

"The college can accept me, and naturally it can also accept you. You can inquire about registration."

"That's great." Wang Yueyue was extremely excited and clapped her hands and said, "I'll go discuss it with my mother right now."

She ran home happily.

Xia Qianqian sighed.

With Li's temper, it would be difficult for Wang Yueyue to break free and go to school.

She packed everything into the bullock cart, called Yuanbao, and the three of them set off.

The bullock cart slowly arrived on the road in front of the village entrance. For the first time, the road ahead was blocked.

Uncle Wang stepped forward to check and hurried back, "It's the government searching for the remaining bandits."

Xia Qianqian frowned, "Then why is the road blocked?"

"Everyone has to be inspected before they are released, which will be a bit slow."

No way!

Everyone is waiting, and they can only wait.

After burning incense, the ox cart finally arrived at the pass.

A row of soldiers surrounded the entire Fu'an Village, with a table at the front. Everyone who came forward had to register their name, home address, and fingerprint.

Xia Qianqian looked at the scene in front of her,

Under her sleeves, she clenched her hands into fists, thinking about Hu Tang's warning in her ears.

The officers and soldiers collected the handprints of the Jade-faced Immortal Lord, and then came to collect the handprints of other people, perhaps starting to compare.

Xia Qianqian struggled and silently put on the fingerprint-free gloves.

When it was her turn, she stepped forward, stretched out her fingers, pressed her fingerprints on a piece of rice paper, and then watched the ingot press it.

Some people who got up early were also rushed here to have their fingerprints laid.

Every day, Liu Erniu from the village head would run around the village with his shovel, patrolling his territory.

Some officers and soldiers came forward to pull him over, but he grabbed the shovel and ran around, howling as he ran: "Mom, someone is catching the baby, the baby is afraid, the baby is afraid!"

The three soldiers chased him, Liu Erniu dodged left and right, but could not catch him. For a moment, the scene was a bit funny and ridiculous.

The three of them got on the carriage, and Uncle Wang complained a little: "It's really early to get up early to catch the late market. With this delay, we are almost at the same time as when we set off yesterday."

"Girl, can you make it in time?"

"Ah?" Xia Qianqian woke up from her daze and said calmly: "It should be okay."

The ox cart came all the way to Zhuxian College.,

Compared with other students, they came very early.

Xia Qianqian found a place, brought down the small stove, placed a small table next to it, and placed tofu seasonings and other items.

The fire under the stove is burning brightly.

Put the iron pot on the stove, drizzle clear oil on it, cut the tofu into large pieces and put it on top, and it will make a sizzling sound immediately.

Yuan Bao on the side began to shout, "Come and see, come and taste, the freshest fried tofu, the richest soy milk, take a walk, take a look and taste it!"

Under the petals flying all over the sky, a carriage with a green tent slowly stopped not far away.

A young man in a moon-white brocade robe stepped down. When he raised his eyes to look at her, his expression showed a hint of surprise, then he smiled lightly and walked forward slowly.

His eyes fell on her stall and he said, "You actually sold the tofu in front of the college?"

"There are many students here, and there are soldiers who patrol here all the time. It is safe and spacious."

The key is that there is a lot of traffic, why can't she come?

At the entrance of modern colleges, the most popular ones are the various small vendors.

She is not only the surgeon among the vendors, but also the best stall holder among the surgeons.
