In the afternoon, a carriage stopped quietly at the entrance of the academy.
After the carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy for half an hour, Miss Lu, wearing a light blue dress, carefully walked out of the academy.
Shen Qilang poked his head out from the curtain of the carriage and waved to Miss Lu.
Miss Lu quickly picked up her skirt, took her maid with her, ran towards the carriage with small steps, and then got into the carriage in a panic.
After Miss Lu got on the carriage, Shen Yi coughed and said, "Old Li, let's go."
The coachman carrying the carriage picked up the luggage. After hearing Shen Yi's words, he responded, swung the whip in his hand, and the carriage slowly started to leave the academy.
Miss Lu in the carriage ran over in a panic. Now that she had recovered from her shock, she first patted her chest, and then looked at Shen Yi, a little curious.
"Senior Brother Shen bought a carriage?"
"No no."
Shen Yi shook his head repeatedly and said honestly: "Rent."
Shen Yi didn't have a car, so he usually walked from the academy to the city. But when asking a girl to go out, it would be inappropriate to rely solely on his feet, so Shen Yi asked Tian Boping to help rent a carriage in the city in the morning. .
Renting carriages is not uncommon in Jiangdu. There are even carriage and horse shops that specialize in this business. The industry is quite mature.
The business of carriage and horse shops is not limited to the city. As long as you can afford the money, they can take you anywhere. Some carriage drivers go out for "long distances" and even return home only once every two or three times.
Hearing Shen Yi's words "rented," Lian'er, who was sitting nearby, glared at Shen Yi and curled her lips, but she probably looked away and said nothing for the sake of her own lady.
Miss Lu looked at Shen Yi again, with a playful smile on her face: "My dad doesn't let me go out to play on weekdays."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Junior sister, you..."
"But the academy is full of men. I stay in the academy every day and I feel very depressed."
Having said this, she looked at Shen Yi with a smile on her face: "It's rare to come out today. After we return to the academy in the afternoon, if my father questions me, I will say that you kidnapped me out, Senior Brother Shen."
Shen Qilang lowered his head and touched his nose, then raised his eyes to look at Miss Lu and asked: "Then junior sister... how about we go back the way we came?"
"That won't work."
Miss Lu said softly: "It's a rare time to come out. You said you wanted to take me out to eat that new food, so you can't go back on your word."
"If you don't regret it, you won't regret it."
Shen Yi raised his head slightly and said, "The worst that can happen is that I will be kicked out of the academy by the mountain chief. Shen can't bear it!"
"Stop it."
Miss Lu rolled her eyes at Shen Yi and said softly: "Father likes you very much. The time I spend with you these days is longer than the time I spend with me, by the way..."
Miss Lu seemed to have remembered something. She took a deep look at Shen Yi, and after some hesitation, asked: "Senior Brother Shen... how did you know my birth date?"
"birthday…"
Shen Yi was confused for a moment, and then realized that it was the day he started teasing Miss Lu.
That day, Miss Lu and Shen Yi were competing to see who was older. Shen Yi casually said that he was two months and four days older than her.
At that time, Miss Lu was stunned at first, then her whole face turned red, she covered her face and ran away.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, stood there and watched Miss Lu run away.
Miss Lu ran all the way back home that day, still feeling like a deer in her heart.
Because...a woman's birthday is a very private topic.
In this era, a woman's personal information is considered private, such as her maiden name.
Now, only Lu Anshi in the entire Ganquan Academy knows Miss Lu's maiden name. The students in the academy only know that Miss Lu has a nickname of "Qingque", and no one in the academy knows her real name until now. .
As for the date of birth, it is even less likely that anyone would know.
Generally, only when they are about to get married, men and women will compare their birth dates. Usually only parents know, not even biological brothers and sisters.
However, Shen Yi accurately determined the year difference between the two people to the number of days that day, which made Miss Lu toss and turn after returning.
She even suspected for a time that it was her father, Lu Anshi, who told Shen Yi her birthday.
If this is the case, then there is no difference between Lu Anshi betrothing her to Shen Yi.
But this kind of topic is too sensitive, and Miss Lu never had the nerve to ask her old father, nor did she have the nerve to ask Shen Yi.
After that, she even avoided Shen Yi for several days without meeting him.
Now that she had a rare opportunity to be alone, Miss Lu naturally wanted to ask this question that had been buried in her heart for nearly a month.
"It's my birthday..."
Shen Yi blinked his eyes and coughed a little embarrassedly.
After a while, he decided to tell the truth to Miss Lu.
"Um...Junior sister, please forgive me, I just said nonsense that day and I didn't really know your birth date..."
On that day, the two were competing to see who was older and who was younger. Firstly, Shen Yi didn't want to be his younger brother, and secondly, he was joking with Miss Lu, so he pretended to be two months and four days older than her...
Hearing this answer, Miss Lu was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Shen Yi and said slowly: "Brother Shen, please don't make such a joke in the future. I...if I tell my father, my father will I will inevitably beat you up and scold you a few times."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Yi didn't take this matter to heart at first, but seeing Miss Lu's appearance, he knew that the joke might be too much, so he nodded repeatedly and promised: "Don't worry, junior sister, I will never make such a joke with you again." ."
"You are not allowed to drive with others..."
Miss Lu glared at Shen Yi, and then seemed to feel that something was wrong with her expression, so she explained in a panic: "If a young lady from another family hears this, she will have to take you to the county government to see an official. Then I will sue you for molesting a good family, and you will be thrown away for free." It hurts my father’s face!”
Shen Yi looked serious and nodded: "Junior sister has taught you a lesson, Shen Qi has learned a lesson."
"Who is your junior sister?"
Miss Lu rolled her eyes at Shen Yi: "You may not be as old as me."
Shen Yi blinked, looked at Miss Lu, and said with a smile: "We are in the same year, and junior sister refuses to tell her birth date, so there is no way to compare, so I can only call her junior sister."
Hearing Shen Yi's somewhat rogue words, Miss Lu felt a little depressed at first, then turned away and stopped talking to Shen Yi.
"You can scream if you like."
Shen Yi chuckled and wanted to talk to his junior sister, but Miss Lu seemed a little angry and refused to look at Shen Yi again.
Fortunately, Ganquan Academy was not far from Jiangdu City, and soon the carriage arrived at the Yudai Lake in Jiangdu City. It stopped the carriage with its handlebars, then jumped off, bent towards the carriage and said: "Master, Miss, Yudai Lake arrive."
When he heard that his destination had arrived, Shen Yi got out of the carriage very attentively, and then stood aside, waiting for Miss Lu to get off.
After Miss Lu got off the bus, Shen Yi took out a row of copper coins from his sleeve, paid the carriage fare, then walked in front of Miss Lu with his hands behind his back.
"Junior sister, come with me. I know there is a snack street near Yudai Lake that sells all kinds of food."
The bank of Yudai Lake is the most prosperous "commercial center" in the entire Jiangdu. People come and go. Miss Lu rarely goes out. She is very curious when she sees all kinds of things on the street. However, after hearing Shen Yi's words, she still behaves well. Followed behind Shen Yi.
Not long after, the three people came to a small stall.
Mr. Shen glanced at the sign of the stall, then looked at the shrinking eyes of the little guys behind the stall, and then pretended to cough.
"Spread out two pancakes for me!"
After saying this, Shen Yi looked back at Miss Lu, and accidentally saw Miss Lian'er's murderous eyes. He coughed again and said.
