Xiao Nianzhi had already missed many early morning appointments because of his great-grandfather's funeral.
She felt that the debt was too heavy to bear, and it was not a big deal, so she could just do it for one more day.
Otherwise, rushing back and forth will be too tiring.
When he was off duty in the evening, Xiao Nianzhi happily decided on this matter.
Because today we are at the experimental field outside the city.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi could arrive at the Imperial College soon after he finished his duty.
Thinking about what Xiao Qing told herself before, Aunt Gu was back.
In addition, I have many old acquaintances from the Imperial College.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi arranged for Chang Shan to go to the city and buy a lot of things at noon.
There are a variety of snacks, tea, and some popular educational toys.
In short, a lot of things were prepared, including a pack of snacks, a pack of candies, a small pack of tea, and a small box of toys for each person.
Don't worry about the value of the things inside, at least you have what you want.
In spring, the days are longer.
After Xiao Nianzhi got off duty, he went straight to the Imperial College.
When we arrived, there was still a little light in the sky.
Xiao Nianzhi was familiar with the two uncles at the door.
Therefore, a suitable gift must be given.
The two uncles were very happy. They held Xiao Nianzhi and talked for a while before letting her in.
When Xiao Nianzhi came over, he happened to catch up with the students having dinner.
Everyone has no classes in the evening, so they all rely on conscious study.
It has been almost two years since Xiao Nianzhi left the Imperial College, and many of the newly admitted students may not necessarily know her.
Former students may not be able to recognize him either.
After all, Xiao Nianzhi has grown a lot and has changed a lot from before.
Therefore, you may not necessarily recognize it at first sight.
But as I walked, I bumped into acquaintances.
When the other party saw Xiao Nianzhi, he shouted directly: "Master Xiao!"
Xiao Nianzhi felt a little familiar with this voice and quickly turned his head to look.
Then I saw Zhang Huaiyuan and two classmates walking quickly to Xiao Nianzhi's side.
Seeing that he was an old acquaintance, Xiao Nianzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang."
The other two were a little unfamiliar, but Zhang Huaiyuan introduced them later.
After a few words of greetings, when he heard that Xiao Nianzhi came to celebrate Xiao Zhou’s birthday, Zhang Huaiyuan became sour: “Students are not so lucky, but on their birthdays, they were also lucky enough to eat cakes from Tang Shui Shop.
, the taste is very good, Mr. Xiao took the trouble to make it."
…
Zhang Huaiyuan didn't talk much in the past.
Now he speaks with a certain accent.
It's a bit like an officialdom.
The other party also failed this year.
He was obviously a top student, but ended up failing the exam.
To say there is no gap?
That is definitely unrealistic.
There is still some.
However, it is important to recognize the reality clearly.
Moreover, they are still young and will only be in their early twenties after three years, so there is nothing to worry about.
In addition, they are all second-generation officials. Even if they really fail to pass the exam, their families will definitely have other arrangements.
It's just that the one I passed the exam looks better.
After the greetings, Zhang Huaiyuan introduced two more classmates.
He is a freshman who entered the Imperial College after taking the annual examination last year.
Wearing a student uniform, he looks a bit youthful, so he probably isn't too old.
Xiao Nianzhi guessed that it was probably the seedling that the Zhang family liked, and asked Zhang Huaiyuan to make friends in advance, right?
After realizing what he was thinking, Xiao Nianzhi was quite helpless.
Being in this situation in the capital, she is certainly not exempt from the vulgarity!
After saying goodbye to Zhang Huaiyuan's students, Xiao Nianzhi met a few familiar ones.
Some of them looked familiar to her, and everyone greeted her politely.
Although they are of noble status and good family background.
However, while they were still studying, Xiao Nianzhi was already walking in the officialdom, and his official rank was not particularly low, and he was favored by His Majesty.
This is something that many of them may not be able to obtain even if they work hard.
Therefore, at this time, it is naturally best to make good friends.
If you can't, don't offend anyone.
By the time Xiao Nianzhi arrived in the kitchen, the sky had completely darkened.
Many students in the cafeteria have already eaten and gone back to read.
There are also a small number of people, not all of whom are known to Xiao Nianzhi, and some are students who have just entered school in the past two years.
After Xiao Nianzhi said hello to the familiar people, he smiled and chatted with Aunt Cui and the others for a while.
After Aunt Gu came back, she did not appear in the cafeteria, but did some rough work in the backyard.
After all, she had been exiled, and it was hard for her to return to a job on the outside.
You don’t need to face other people in the backyard, and you can actually live a more peaceful life.
This is also what Aunt Gu wants.
Xiao Nianzhi had no intention of disturbing the other party's quiet life, but well, the other party had indeed helped him a lot, and since he hadn't seen him for a long time, Xiao Nianzhi had to go and have a look no matter what.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Cui and the others, Xiao Nianzhi took his things and went to see Aunt Gu and Uncle Qiu.
The gifts were delivered one by one, and there were two left.
After the simple socializing, Xiao Nianzhi simply tidied up and went to the cafeteria.
As for the cake, Xiao Nianzhi is not planning to make it now.
There were ready-made ones at the candy store, so Chang Shan made a special trip to get them back before leaving work.
This is what the master chef recently tried, a double-layered cake.
A very beautiful bamboo background, which symbolizes improvement step by step.
A piece of pure white and cyan, it looks elegant and quiet.
Xiao Nianzhi likes this design very much.
Xiao Zhou also liked it very much when he saw it for the first time.
Although he knew that Xiao Nianzhi would come, he did not expect that the other party would bring such a big cake.
He didn't specifically ask any familiar classmates to come over.
After all, there are too many people I know well, and they all come here. Do you want to tire your sister to death?
However, I can't stand it and some students are familiar with it.
As soon as they heard that Xiao Nianzhi was back, the familiar students came over to watch the fun.
When I saw the cake...
Well, I decided not to leave for the time being.
They even discussed it privately with their familiar classmates: "You think, even if we are shameless and don't leave, we should be able to get in, right?"
"I think it's okay."
"Miss Xiao is kind-hearted and cannot refuse us."
"You still have Miss Xiao, you have to call me Master Xiao."
"Look what you said, make Miss Xiao look close to you. We are all family members."
…
Everyone's voice was not too loud, and some people were still booing.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi didn't hear this either.
Since she came here, she definitely didn't give her a cake made by a master chef.
I definitely still need to cook some dishes.
Xiao Nianzhi drafted several menus early in the morning, and even asked Chang Shan to come over and ask Xiao Zhou's opinion.
Xiao Zhou didn't want to trouble his sister, especially considering that Xiao Nianzhi still wore a filial piety hat.
However, his sister insisted, and Xiao Zhou had no choice but to accept it sweetly.
