After lunch, Ji Qingning and the little maid returned to the academy. He stopped in front of Fufeng Courtyard. The servant came over and said, "Young Master Ji has returned to the academy. Old Master Zhang sent someone to pass on the message earlier and asked you to go to the back mountain to find him when you go back to the academy."

Ji Qingning nodded and said, "Then is Old Mrs. Zhang in the academy now?"

"It's here," the servant replied.

Ji Qingning went straight to the back mountain.

In the bamboo house, Mrs. Zhang was copying the painting, and the one he copied was Ji Qingning's apprenticeship.

Old Master Zhang copied it very seriously. Ji Qingning didn't dare to go forward, for fear of disturbing Old Master Zhang, so he stood by the side for a long time.

Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but stop and said, "I finally want to go back to the academy."

Ji Qingning scratched her forehead, "It's nothing..."

She didn't mean to not come to the academy. She delayed the visit to Kuishui for two days. She didn't know that the academy postponed the holiday for two days in order to allow the students to attend the Lantern Festival. Then she escaped for four or five days in one breath.

However, Old Master Zhang just said casually that with Ji Qingning's talent, the master could not make things difficult for her, and was stumped by Ji Qingning. She could not come to Sihai Academy to study, let alone just a few days later.

Ji Qingning saluted, "I wonder if the teacher asked me to come?"

Old Mrs. Zhang put down the wolf pen in her hand, took a silver note of 5,000 taels from the drawer and handed it to Ji Qingning. Ji Qingning said, "What are you doing for me the silver note?"

Old Master Zhang said, "This is the medical fee that Mr. Zhang has added to you. You saved Mr. Zhang's life. I originally wanted to give you 20,000 taels, but you only charged 5,000 taels. Mr. Zhang was sorry and asked me to give you the 15,000 taels, and I charged 5,000 taels for you."

Master Zhang’s life cannot be measured by money. The Zhang family is the last in poverty among the powerful and powerful people in Kyoto. If it were others, Master Zhang would definitely take over for Ji Qingning without hesitation. However, Master Zhang and Mr. Zhang felt that collecting 5,000 taels is not a small amount. Master Zhang insisted on asking him to collect, and he only took another 5,000 taels.

Ji Qingning refused to accept it. Old Master Zhang smiled and said, "You save his life. Five thousand taels are not less, but ten thousand taels are not more. I will accept it for you, so you can accept it."

Oh well.

Ji Qingning reached out to take the silver note.

Old Mrs. Zhang sat on the Luohan couch over there and said, "Where is Wen Xuan, haven't you returned to the academy with you?"

Ji Qingning, “…???”

Although she and Wen Xuan are in the same school, their relationship is not as good as Old Mrs. Zhang.

She returned to the academy from the small courtyard, and the probability of meeting Wen Xuan on the way is very small.

Old Master Zhang said, "That bastard, I knew it was the third prince, and I asked the third prince to clean the courtyard, which scared Chief Gu Shan to sleep all night."

Ji Qingning felt a little sorry for Mr. Gu. She said, "Wen Xuan, who asked the third prince to sweep the courtyard, has nothing to do with Mr. Gu."

"That's right, it's in the academy after all. Wen Xuan is domineering and the academy is uncontrollable, so he can't escape the blame," said Mrs. Zhang.

"Concubine Xiao can't do anything to Wen Xuan, but she will definitely hold her accountable in the academy."

The third prince could not stop Concubine Xiao.

Wen Xuan caused the disaster, and Old Master Zhang asked Wen Xuan to settle the matter.

Ji Qingning said, "Isn't it just that the third prince swept the floor? It's not that serious, right?"

Old Master Zhang said, "Now that the third prince has recovered from illness, it is difficult to guarantee that Concubine Xiao has not had the idea of ​​letting the third prince compete for the crown prince. A crown prince who cleans the courtyard is not nice to say."

Ji Qingning disagreed with this, "'If you don't clean a house, how can you clean the world?' The third prince cleaned the courtyard to stay in the academy and studied. This is a commendable thing. If Concubine Xiao criticized him and Gu Shansheng praised the third prince to death, she would not be too happy. What's more, Gu Shansheng made an exception to enter the academy with half an article from the third prince."

Chief Gu came to find Mrs. Zhang. When he stepped up the steps, he heard Ji Qingning's words "How can he wipe out the world if he doesn't sweep a house?", and he was immediately enlightened.

Let me put it this way, before hearing this, he was afraid of being summoned in the palace, but after hearing this, he was looking forward to being summoned in his heart.

Someone came to look for him, so Chief Gu turned around and left.

Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied with Ji Qingning's answer. He asked, "Did you have been assassinated twice last night?"

Old Mrs. Zhang is quite well-informed.

The assassin assassin assassinated the third prince. It was not surprising that the old lady Zhang knew about it because the movement was too big. However, not many people knew about the assassin killing her and accidentally injured Prince Heshun Hou. How did the old lady Zhang know about it?

Could it be that the secret guards who protected the courtyard were sent by Mrs. Zhang?

But if so, there is no need to ask her.

With some doubts, Ji Qingning replied truthfully, "Fortunately, Wen Xuan and Mr. Tian Wen were rescued, so he was not injured."

Wen Xuan and Mr. Wen Tian?

Old Mrs. Zhang was weak all over.

These young juniors are so good at playing.

It is really not troublesome to save people.

He was sure that Ji Qingning was fine and was not frightened, so Old Master Zhang felt relieved. He had not finished copying the painting yet, so Ji Qingning did not disturb him and retreated.

She returned to the school.

I pushed the door and walked in, and then I became a little dazed.

The room was strange, and she thought she had gone to the wrong place, so she quickly left and looked at the sign hanging by the door. It was her and Wen Xuan's schoolhouse.

Her reaction was seen by the Prince Dongping and the others without any loss, and she smiled, "I haven't come to the academy some days. The house was beaten up in a mess before. Wen Xuan changed it all, and the decorations in the house were even more luxurious than before."

Wen Xuan is serious about trying to please Ji Qingning.

Tang Jing said, "It's been as long as you haven't come to the academy for you, Brother Wen hasn't come. You're back to the academy today, and it's time for him to come back."

Ji Qingning was confused by this, "Is it related to his return?"

If that's OK, he won't say that.

"Or what if we make a bet?" Tang Jing said.

"I'm the one," said the prince of Dongping County.

"And I..."

A game that wins firmly and does not lose, and you will not follow if you are stupid.

Ji Qingning was a little speechless, "What are you betting on?"

"The loser treats you," said the prince of Dongping County.

"You lost and invited us three big meals to eat the dishes you cooked."

"We lost three of us, please come back one by one."

Ji Qingning nodded without hesitation, "Okay!"

"We will definitely win," Dongping County Prince shook his folding fan with pride.

Ji Qingning felt that they were too blind and confident.

Why do you think that Wen Hyun will come back when she comes back? He is not her follower.

She greets people, but she doesn’t want to miss her!

She would rather lose a meal than want Winhyun to come back to get in the way of taking a bath.

Bet each side is more confident than the other.

Ji Qingning didn't take this matter seriously. She asked the Prince of Dongping for help if she had something to do, and said, "I want to make a colorful glass lamp. I have drawn the drawings. Please help me find someone to do it."

The Prince of Dongping looked at Ji Qingning and said, "Isn't the colorful glass lamp in your hands?"

"I sold that lamp to the prince of Jinlin," said Ji Qingning.

“….”

Tang Jing said, "There is only one colorful glass lamp in the world, and it is impossible to control it."

"I can," said Ji Qingning.

“….”
