Jiang Yanjin knew that Ye Jiaying was a woman, so she didn't answer much for fear of asking something wrong.
He only asked Xu Yinjie about various things on the battlefield.
Ye Jiaying ate in silence and didn't talk much.
"Jiaying, how about this fish soup?"
Xu Yinjie asked her.
Ye Jiaying: "It's delicious."
"Have you had it before?"
Xu Yinjie asked again.
Ye Jiaying nodded: "The previous ones were more delicious.
When my father was still alive, he often brought us over for dinner.
The chef at Yuelaiju used to be Lao Hong, who was the royal chef; now he is Xiao Hong, who is Lao Hong's nephew and has only learned three skills."
Everyone listened and found it interesting.
Yun Qiao took the opportunity to ask: "Your father is gone?"
"He has been dead for many years."
Ye Jiaying said, "I received a government scholarship to study medicine abroad, and he happened to pass away that year."
"Are you a sponsored student of the imperial court?"
Yun Qiao was a little surprised when he heard this, "It's been so many years."
After all, the imperial court has been gone for five years.
"I'm the last one, and I'm in my sixth year."
Ye Jiaying said, "I went out when I was fifteen."
She is twenty-one this year.
Yun Qiao secretly guessed the reason why she disguised herself as a man: in the previous dynasty, women were not eligible to participate in the imperial examination.
Later, when students were assisted to go abroad for exchanges, it was mostly boys, with very few women.
Abroad is a broader world, and the qualification examination for studying abroad only focuses on scores and will not be searched like the imperial examination, so it is easy to pass.
At that time, the imperial court opened the seaport of Yancheng, and the wind of the world came to Yancheng. At that time, Yancheng established Western medicine, girls' middle school, etc.
Some people come into contact with external trends of thought, have open minds, and are extremely intelligent, so naturally they will try their best to get out.
I just don’t know why she dressed up as a man after she returned from school?
What are your plans for the future?
Halfway through the meal, Ye Jiaying suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
She thought the food didn't quite taste good and she was a little bit spoiled, so she got up and went to the bathroom.
When she stood up, Yun Qiaoyin sat opposite her and saw some clues.
"Should I mind my own business?"
She hesitated.
After hesitating again and again, Yun Qiao said to Xu Yinjie and Jiang Yanjin, "You two have a drink and chat. I'll go down and buy some things and bring them back to Master Qi."
Xu Yinjie's eyes darkened.
He couldn't express what he felt in his heart.
Yun Qiao turned and left.
Xu Yinjie sighed.
Jiang Yanjin said to him: "She has been married for a long time. Don't embarrass her by acting like this."
Xu Yinjie took a sip of wine and felt depressed.
He also went to the bathroom.
Ye Jiaying was still in the bathroom, Xu Yinjie came in and shouted: "Jiaying, are you okay?
You've been here for a long time."
Ye Jiaying: "Soon."
He added, "I don't eat river fresh food often recently, and I feel a little upset."
Xu Yinjie couldn't help but laugh: "You have such a bad spleen and stomach that you often have stomach upsets. This has happened several times.
Do you have to have a stomachache every month?
I've already marked the date for you."
Ye Jiaying: "..."
Xu Yinjie had no intention of speaking and continued back to the private seat to talk to Jiang Yanjin.
Yun Qiao went there for a while, and when she came back, she held a paper bag in her hand and went directly to the bathroom.
She went to the door of the men's room and deliberately raised her voice: "Is anyone there?
It’s time to lock the door.”
Ye Jiaying said anxiously: "Someone, someone."
Seeing that she was alone, Yun Qiao locked the door and knocked on her cubicle.
Ye Jiaying was even more anxious: "Don't rush, hurry up."
Yun Qiao said: "It's me, I'm Yun Qiao."
Ye Jiaying's heart skipped a beat.
"Open the door and I'll buy you a new pair of pants."
Yun Qiao added, "There are also menstrual belts and paper."
After a brief moment of silence, Ye Jiaying opened the door a crack.
