Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that Jing Yi was at the door.

Young Master Xiang glanced at the direction of the door, and laughed softly: "Yes, Jing Yi has a bad temper, I'll teach him for you later."

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved the chubby hand: "No need, he is your cousin after all, don't make your brothers unhappy because of me as an outsider. He is a little cold to me, but he is very good to you."

...

After Su Xiaoxiao left, Jing Yi walked in.

"Cousin, you really don't plan to go back to Beijing?"

Mr. Xiang didn't speak, but just handed Jing Yi a confidential letter.

After Jing Yi took it apart and looked at it, his expression became serious: "It turns out..."

Mr. Xiang said: "All the people sent out have missed. We can't go back until the task is completed. And recuperating from illness... is a perfect reason, and it won't arouse suspicion from the capital."

Jing Yi hesitated to speak.

Mr. Xiang asked, "What's the matter?"

Jing Yi said bluntly: "You revealed a little too much to her."

Mr. Xiang smiled and said, "You mean I told her that I'm from the capital? If she approached me intentionally, when I said I was from the capital, her expression would not be so natural."

Jing Yi suddenly realized: "It turns out that cousin is testing her."

Mr. Xiang gently stroked the prescription left by Su Xiaoxiao: "Her medical skills are too suspicious. My aunt also contracted lung disease back then. The treatment process was much more difficult and longer than mine, and it was also more dangerous. But as far as I can see , I was overthinking. She was not sent by any force to get close to me, she is just a little girl who has been instructed by an expert."

"It's a little lady, she's married." Jing Yi corrected.

Mr. Xiang frowned quite unexpectedly: "She is not very old, so she got married?"

Jing Yi: Hehe, it's not just about getting married? The babies are all born, three!

After receiving the consultation fee, Su Xiaoxiao went to the front wing to find Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan still gave her the list of dim sum reservations for tomorrow, and Su Xiaoxiao took the list and handed him three taels of silver.

"What is this for?" Shen Chuan asked.

"Commission." Su Xiaoxiao wrote.

"Ah?" Shen Chuan didn't understand, "What gold?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's just that you can't ask Bai for your help, you can just treat it as a reward. You are helping me order snacks, and helping me take care of Mr. Xiang to take medicine. I haven't had time to thank you properly."

Shen Chuan waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising your hands. If you say this, you will be offended. Am I the kind of person who does it for money? Besides, my father wants me to show my face in front of the son more often. I would like to thank you for giving me this Opportunity. This time you cured the young master's illness, my father is also very grateful to you, he just didn't say anything!"

Su Xiaoxiao pondered: "That son..."

Shen Chuan looked around, and said in a low voice: "The background is not small, have you found out? It's a pity that no matter how I ask, my father just refuses to reveal his identity!"

Curiosity killed the cat, and the less we know about some things, the better.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Accept it, otherwise I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was so persistent, Shen Chuan had no choice but to accept it.

Don't look at him as the dean's son, but in fact his father is strict with him. He only has five hundred coins a month in pocket money, including what his mother secretly gave him, it's less than a tael.

The feeling of earning money...seems to be pretty good!

The two went to wake up Su Ergou in the wing room together.

——Su Ergou seemed to regard the academy as a good place to catch up on sleep, spread out on the chair, and slept soundly.

Su Xiaoxiao patted Hanhan's younger brother to wake him up.

Su Ergou wiped his saliva and said in a daze, "Sister, is the list ready?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You can go back. Mr. Shen, take your leave."

"Farewell." Shen Chuan suddenly thought of something, and called Su Xiaoxiao, "By the way, Miss Su, do you know a student named Chen Haoyuan? I heard from the old man that once you talked for a long time at the gate of the academy."

The old man he was talking about was the old man at the back door of the academy, who would ask Su Ergou to rob a pancake every time.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Chuan said: "The academy has several recommended places to study in Fucheng. My father is considering choosing one from Chen Haoyuan and another student."

...

Su Xiaoxiao took the sleepy-eyed Su Ergou out of the academy.

Chen Haoyuan had just bought ink ingots from the opposite study, and saw the two siblings at the entrance of the academy.

He frowned fiercely, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.

The classmate followed his gaze and looked around: "Hey, aren't those sisters and brothers who sell dim sum? Recently, many people in the college have ordered their dim sum, and I have eaten it once. The taste is not worse than Jin Kee's, and even better than Jin Kee sells it cheap! Brother Chen, do you want to buy dim sum too?"

"No." Chen Haoyuan said lightly.

He already knew that Su Xiaoxiao came to the academy to sell dim sum.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have a very low status. Chen Haoyuan looked down on the peddlers who smelled of copper from the bottom of their hearts.

What's more, what good things can those siblings do?

Better than Kam Kee's?

I don't know who passed it on?

Chen Haoyuan warned: "Don't buy food indiscriminately in the future! Be careful to eat bad stomach!"

The classmate said: "No, the dim sum they sell is delicious and doesn't get angry, and it's very full!"

Chen Haoyuan said indifferently: "One look at you and you have never eaten good food!"

Coincidentally, at this time, Dean Shen also came down from the study.

He was on the second floor just now, and students generally couldn't go up.

"Dean!" The classmate spotted Dean Shen first, and immediately turned around and saluted.

Chen Haoyuan hurriedly gathered his mind, turned around and saluted respectfully: "Dean."

"What are you doing standing in front of someone's house?" Dean Shen asked.

"We...we were just looking at the pair of sisters and brothers selling dim sum." The classmate replied, it cannot be said that they are talking about others behind their backs.

Dean Shen glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou who were gradually walking away, and asked again: "Know each other?"

The classmate shook his head: "It's not considered acquaintance, I just ate the wife cake they sold."

Dean Shen's eyes fell on Chen Haoyuan's face.

Chen Haoyuan collected himself, and said seriously: "I don't know either!"

--

When Dean Shen returned to the courtyard, he first visited Mr. Xiang, who had just recovered from a serious illness. When he learned that he still needs to spend more time in the academy, Dean Shen said it was his honor.

He immediately ordered his servants to prepare the New Year's goods. It must be different for his family to celebrate the New Year and staying with the son to celebrate the New Year.

"father!"

Dean Shen had just left the study when he ran into Shen Chuan who was smiling all over his face.

Dean Shen looked at the dirt and snow on someone's feet, and said coldly, "Where have you been?"

Shen Chuan said: "No, am I tired of studying and wandering around? Next year's autumn, I know it well!"

Dean Shen couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't scholars be devoted to their duties and have no distractions? Why is his son running around like a monkey all day long?

If it weren't for the fact that his son's knowledge was not adulterated, he would have tied him up and smoked him eight times out of ten.

Shen Chuan smiled mysteriously: "Father, I have some news for you!"

Dean Shen was so annoyed by his unscrupulous appearance, he didn't inherit it from himself at all.

Dean Shen said rigidly: "Say."

Shen Chuan said with a smile: "Chen Haoyuan from Class A of the Academy is Miss Su's eldest cousin! Do you want to consider recommending him to Fucheng?"

Dean Shen frowned: "You said, he is Miss Su's cousin?"
