Chapter 29 Dad came to ask to move back to the Song Mansion.

Song Yanjin was just a female teacher, so she didn't have to care about the disputes between these young masters and the rich. But the two of them were students of Qingyun Academy, and Gu Jiajing was about to take the provincial examination. If she failed, it would damage her reputation. She was still counting on a few masters to prepare the enrollment brochure.

No matter what!

"You two, stop hanging out with bad friends. The meaning of life is not just to have fun. You have your own life experience and background. Real men should stand up straight and be loyal to the emperor and the country."

Song Yanjin tilted his head to look at Xia Yunheng, "There is a drought now, and people are living in poverty. A group of suffering people have gathered outside the city, and they are all starving to the point of being skin and bones. You are so lucky that you can eat two thousand taels of food, not to mention you haven't eaten yet.

Your uncle, the emperor, must have been so worried that his hair must have turned white. How can you be so shameless and cause him more trouble at this time?"

"It's only the common people who suffer from natural disasters? Do you think you rich kids can escape?"

"A bunch of losers!"

Xia Yunheng and Gu Jiajing were scolded and were so ashamed that they almost buried their heads under the table. This matter was indeed ill-considered.

Song Yanjin was used to taking a nap during the afternoon. Their eyelids were sore from watching them here, so they got up and went back to the front yard to rest.

Baizhu and Xiaoruan cleaned up the dishes and washed them.

Qingmu, who was feeding horses in the stable in the vegetable field, had tears in his eyes. He was one of the victims of the drought. Fortunately, he met a good person like Master Song after being sold. He had rice and meat to eat every day and water to drink when he was thirsty. He felt very happy in such a fairy-like life.

Xia Yunheng and Gu Jiajing got up and went home. After school in the afternoon, they went to visit Lu Jie to get some supplements.

There was a food shortage in the Song Mansion

, and half of the servants were dismissed.

Song Yilang returned home from court, feeling unbearably hot and his official uniform was soaked with sweat. He was too sticky to even take a bath. The water in the lotus pond in the courtyard for raising fish was almost dry, and the family now relied on that little water to survive.

After having lunch with the old lady and returning to the study, Butler Liu was already waiting at the door.

Song Yilang walked in, fanning himself with the palm-leaf fan on the coffee table as he looked at the housekeeper, "Did you find out anything?"

Butler Liu clasped his fists and said, "Master, the eldest lady returned to the capital from the Princess Lin'an Palace a month ago and is currently living in the West Market. She has been following us every day, and she often brings Prince Yunheng to the Academy Street to recruit students."

Then he took out a flyer and handed it to the master, "The eldest lady bought the bankrupt academy across from the Imperial College and became the principal herself."

Song Yilang was shocked to hear this. This daughter whom he had left out gave him too many surprises. She had written to him before and asked him to send the documents back to Lishan Academy, but she had returned to the capital to start her own business after leaving the academy.

I flipped through the flyer in my hand, and above it was a large, eye-catching version of the words "Send you to Qingyun", followed by some introductions to Qingyun College, and a policy article...

I knew Xiaojin was very knowledgeable, but I didn't expect he could write such a good article.

The eldest princess personally brought Xiaojin back to the palace from the Lishan Academy, and now she has spent a large sum of money to let Xiaojin open his own academy. It can be seen how much Xiaojin is loved by the eldest princess!

Song Yilang was calculating in his mind. The Song family was not well fed every day, and Xiaojin had the support of the eldest princess. He would not bear to let the whole family starve to death. He immediately ordered the butler Liu to prepare the carriage, and he wanted to go see his daughter in person.

Knock knock...

Song Yanjin, who had just woken up from a nap and was washing up, heard someone knocking on the door in the yard. He opened the door and saw Qingmu coming in.

Baizhu also came out and naturally went into the young lady's room to tidy up her books and test papers.

Song Yanjin was a little surprised when someone came in from outside the door.

"Xiao Jin, there is a drought now. Father is very happy to see that you are safe."

As soon as Song Yilang entered the room, he saw his daughter and looked around. The courtyard was well-maintained, but it was still a little small compared to the Song Mansion.

The yard was very small and Song Yanjin had no place to entertain guests, so he had to lead his father to the kitchen in the backyard.

Qingmu was arranged to ride to the academy alone with the test papers, and Xia Yunheng was told to arrange for the students to look at the test papers or read books on their own in the afternoon. Song Yanjin wrote comments on everyone's test papers, and after reading them, he knew where he was lacking.

The place where my daughter entertains guests is the dining table in the kitchen. How can such a simple place be lived in? Song Yilang said, "Xiao Jin, you have been back to the capital for more than half a month. Why do you want to live outside?"

The tone changed, "How could you be so cruel that you didn't go back to the Song Mansion to pay respects to your grandmother, and didn't come to see your father who was worried about you every day."

The old father started blaming, but Song Yanjin remained calm and poured him a cup of tea to calm him down. "No one loved me since I was a child, so how could I understand filial piety? I grew up in Lishan Academy, and my grandmother and father never cared about my well-being. Why is my father coming to my house to blame me now?"

The old father stabbed him twice, and Song Yanjin stabbed back twice.

Song Yilang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The aroma of tea filled the air. The Song family had not had tea to drink for the past month. He picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp angrily.

"You are my daughter after all. If you behave so unfilially, people will laugh at you. As your father, you must move back home tomorrow." After saying this, Song Yilang stood up. If he continued to stay with his daughter, he was afraid that he would lose his temper.

Song Yanjin stood up to see him off, "Father asked the eldest princess what she thought. If she told me to move back to the Song Mansion, I would move."

Why not use the shield if you have one?

Song Yilang paused. It was a severe drought and they would not be able to return once they left the city. The eldest princess had a bad temper and if he asked her, he would only be asking for trouble and scolding, and the Song family would also suffer.

He pretended not to hear and insisted on the order he had just given to his daughter.

The emperor is far away and the eldest princess is in Lin'an, out of reach. If his daughter doesn't return to the Song Mansion, he will come to ask her again and again.

When Song Yanjin thought of the Song Mansion, he wanted to spit. It was so disgusting!

Song Yanjin went to the academy for notification but was too lazy to make the trip. He was digging the ground in the backyard in a depressed mood. He was reluctant to water the soil, and the vegetable seedlings that had sprouted out had already dried up and died.

Only the wild ginseng in the corner had green leaves. Song Yanjin was hoping to sell it for money, so he paid for water every day.

Song Yanjin had turned over half of the hard land. Qingmu came back and saw his master looking a little overwhelmed.

I looked for Sister Baizhu next to me and said, "There is another student enrolled in the academy. Should I tell the young lady?"

Bai Zhu was delighted to hear this, "Yes, is he in the academy?"

Aoki nodded.

Bai Zhu stepped into the field and snatched the hoe from the young lady's hand, "Young lady, students have registered for the academy, please go and take a look."

Song Yanjin lifted his clothes and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Let's go."

They rushed to the academy without stopping. In the teacher's resting yard, Xia Yunheng held the ruler behind his back and imitated the teacher's lecture, "When you join my Qingyun Sect, the rules here are to only listen to me. First, you are not allowed to fight. Second, you are not allowed to tease the young lady. Ah, ah, ah, it hurts!"

Song Yanjin grabbed his ear as soon as he entered the room, "Xia Yunheng, you're itching again, right?"

Ye Shiran couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Shian sighed as he stood by the window. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let his younger brother study under Master Song despite the controversy at home. How could Prince Yun Heng go to school with peace of mind when he was making such a fuss here?

"Hey, hey, hey~ Cousin, you're not in the academy, I'm kind enough to recruit students for you," Xia Yunheng pointed at the registration book on the table with the ruler in his hand, "Look, I've registered you, but I haven't finished the school motto yet."

Song Yanjin let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, Brother Ye, something happened at home and the child was a little naughty."
