I just felt a little choking in my throat, but immediately swallowed the sourness in my heart, and said, "What about him now?"

Su Su looked at me, lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said, "The head of the family is fine."

Although this sentence is easy to understand, it seems-

Feeling my doubts, Su Su said, "The head of the family is really fine, but - he seems to be doing a lot of things again. Now the atmosphere of the entire Yan family, Chengdu, and everyone in all places is a bit strange. Su Su is not very clear. However, it is great that the eldest lady comes back. The head of the family looks the same as before."

Her words were actually a bit confusing, but I still understood a little.

However, Su Su is still young and has never experienced any major events. As my maid, she is not an old man from the Yan family after all. It is difficult for her to find something deeper. It is no longer easy to detect the strange atmosphere.

I was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I get it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Su was relieved, but when she looked down at the porridge and side dishes on the table, she immediately said, "I knew that the young lady would suffer when she came here. How could the young lady eat these things?" As she said, she said to a servant behind her, "Take it over quickly."

The servant hurried forward and we saw that he was carrying a food box in his hand. Susu hurriedly took it and opened it, and took it out from the inside, which were all exquisite snacks.

We were all stunned: "You brought this?"

Su Su said while taking it, "I saw it on the road, and I was worried that the lady would not have a good meal, so I bought some and brought it with me first. The lady will eat it first. I will make your meal in the future."

I was a little amused and laughed: "Why don't you need this?"

"Aunt Hong said that if the eldest lady is thinner than when she met last time, she will deal with me."

“…”

"The head of the family also told me that the eldest lady can no longer be wronged."

I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the servants who were obviously coming day and night, but still had a tired face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's so cold...

Just then, Xiao Yusheng also walked in. Seeing this scene, he didn't say anything. He immediately asked someone to go down to arrange their residence. Su Su had to stay and serve me for food, but I rushed back to rest with a stern face, but later she heard from the students that she was also cleaning the room and was busy all kinds of things.

I sat down with a wry smile, facing the delicious food on the table, Qinghan smiled and picked up a piece of cake with chopsticks to eat, and said, "It's not bad. Someone is here to take care of your daily life and diet, which is always much better than you alone."

Xiao Yusheng also sat on the other side. He probably got up early in the morning and went to do business. At this time, I had time to come to have some food, so I asked them to eat these snacks with me. He also smiled and said, "It's great, we are all benefiting from the eldest lady."

I looked around and it was getting late. Almost all the students had already had breakfast. Some of them had just entered the academy and some had already gone to the library. I looked back at Xiao Yusheng: "We will not cause trouble to the academy."

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "It will definitely not be a problem for the eldest lady to come here. You must know that this time, there are students from eleven academies!"

"Where do they all live?"

"Some have found houses at the foot of the mountain, while others live in the academy. There are many empty rooms anyway."

"Have you ever had such a competition before?"

"Never. The master brother doesn't like competing in the academy, so everyone won't do this on weekdays."

"Then why are there people from eleven academies coming this time? It feels like an appointment is made."

Xiao Yusheng originally reached out to grab a piece of almond crisp. When he heard me say this, he paused his hand and looked up at me, as if he wanted to speak but stopped. I said, "What's wrong? Did they really make an appointment?"

“…”

Xiao Yusheng was silent for a moment, then withdrew his hand and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if they really made an appointment. After all, some people in other academies are still competing for victory. Xishan Academy has always been a benchmark for scholars in Shu. It is inevitable that some people want to try the best. This is not surprising. But these days, the master's behavior is a bit strange."

“…”

Let’s talk about Nan Zhenyi again.

I nodded and said, "Yes, I thought Qinghan and I wrote him at the same time, and he would definitely agree to accept the student. Unexpectedly, he not only disagrees, but also detains people. Now, I have another competition."

Xiao Yusheng said: "Those are not counting. You must know that the master brother has been in charge of the academy for so many years, and he has almost never left the academy. Even though the last time the head of the family ordered, he just asked me to go to Chengdu."

He seemed to have some meaning, and I looked up at him: "So what-?"

Xiao Yusheng was silent for a moment, and looked around. There were no other students in this place, only a few of us. He seemed to have made up his mind and said, "But, during the time when I came back, the senior brother left the academy several times."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows: "Where has he gone?"

"He seems to be traveling to another academies."

“…”

Qinghan and I looked at each other, and he said, "What do you mean is that this time, before those academies come to compete and discuss, Nan Zhenyi went to their academies first?"

Xiao Yusheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"So this time they came to compete and discuss because Nan Zhenyi did something? Or what did she say?"

"I don't know much about the relationship between this, but the master's recent actions are a bit abnormal, which makes us all feel a little worried."

“…”

Qinghan and I became a little playful.

If it was just those academies who came to compete, it could be said that they were determined to win and "call trouble", but if it was Nan Zhenyi who went to those academies first and then the people from these academies came here together, it would be hard to say that they were "unanimous".

It's more like a challenge.

Qinghan was silent for a while and asked, "Where is he now?"

"I've been in my own yard and haven't come out."

"Aren't you going to see him?"

"I just went outside the door and someone told me what he told me to do."

“…”

I thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been rumbling in my mind since last night. I whispered: "Xiao Yusheng, do you know your master's life experience? Or, do you know his origin?"
