Warlord, Get Out Of My Way

Tang Xuemei woke up early in the morning to cook the Yuanxiao. The round Yuanxiao symbolized a happy reunion.    

During breakfast, Lin Miaoting was a little unhappy as she stirred the Yuanxiao in her bowl. She missed the various Tangyuan in her previous life. Different from Tangyuan, Yuanxiao was cooked with noodles, so the Yuanxiao soup was a little turbid. It was not as clear as the soup cooked by Tangyuan.    

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhize looked at Lin Miaoting, who had not eaten, and asked.    

"No, I just want to eat Tangyuan!" Lin Miaoting unhappily said what she was thinking. When she said it, she realized she had said something wrong. In this era, there was no such thing as Tangyuan in the north.    

"Tangyuan? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it delicious?" Lin Zhize asked. "But did you eat it in Jufu Restaurant?"    

Since everyone in the family knew that Lin Miaoting had sold the seasoning to Jufu Restaurant, Lin Zhize boldly guessed that Lin Miaoting had eaten in Jufu Restaurant before.    

"Ah? En." Lin Miaoting did not know how to answer, so she answered vaguely. She could only push Tangyuan's origin to Jufu Restaurant. Otherwise, she could not say that she had eaten it in modern times. It was also filled with various kinds of stuffing. After that, she would explain what modern times were. She told them that Lin Miaoting was really dead and that she was borrowing her body to come back to life. At that time, she would probably be captured and treated as a monster!    

"Oh." Lin Zhize did not say anything else.    

"Keer, eat quickly. "We still have to go to town to see the lanterns later? Along the way, we also need to teach your brother how to bind him." Tang Xuemei urged.    

Lin Miaoting ate all six Yuanxiao in one go. It was actually quite delicious!    

Luo Shui Town.    

Because it was the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, there were more people in Luo Shui Town compared to the past. It reflected the strong festive atmosphere.    

The pedestrians on the streets were talking about something from time to time. The small vendors on both sides of the street had set up their stalls early to bargain with the buyers passing by. They planned to make a fortune during the festival.    

The first thing Lin Miaoting and her family wanted to do was to pay Lin Zhize's tuition fees. Lin Zhize's binding was two taels of silver and eight pounds of fat! Their family first went to the North Market of Luoshui Town to buy some meat, then went to the academy to register for Lin Zhize.    

The Hanwen Academy Lin Miaoting looked at the plaque on top of the high gate and read softly. In her heart, she sighed that the academy's name was rather elegant.    

She followed Lin Kaishan through the main gate of the academy and saw an elder coming out to welcome them. After Lin Kaishan and the old man had a conversation, he knew that this old man was the person in charge of the registration of the academy. He followed the old man to a place similar to the modern school registration office.    

After handing the binding over to the old man, he looked at the old man taking a book similar to a ledger from the bookshelf. He recorded Lin Zhize's name and the number of bindings on it. Moreover, he told Lin Zhize some things about the start of school. He said that he would come back the day after tomorrow to take the exam. The results of the exam were easy to teach in different classes.    

Everything was done. It was almost noon. Lin Kaishan led Tang Xuemei and the other two to the meat soup stall that they had gone to before. He ordered four bowls of meat soup and bought a few buns at the bun stall next to him. While eating, he listened to the gossips of the people around him.    

"Hey, have you heard? The reward for this year's Jufu Restaurant Lantern Festival is that new hotpot set meal! It looks pretty impressive. "    

"What hotpot set meal? Is it the one that smelled the fragrance from far away?"    

"Yes! Yes! It's the one inside. Let me tell you. "    

Lin Miaoting happily drank the meat soup while listening to the people around her talk about the activity of the hotpot. "Looks like the reaction is good!" Lin Miaoting thought in her heart.    

"Keer, do you know about that activity?" Lin Zhize asked, "Tonight, I will also go and try to see if I can guess a lantern riddle. It would be best if it is free. Let's try it too. "    

“ "Oh. Okay." Lin Miaoting was first stunned by her brother's words, then she smiled awkwardly in agreement.    

She suddenly remembered the last time she gave five hundred taels of silver to Tang Xuemei. Her family seemed to think that the five hundred taels of silver she gave Tang Xuemei was for seasoning. No matter what Lin Miaoting said, they did not believe it. They only gave a simple answer and did not continue. Lin Miaoting did not explain further.    

Actually, it was not that Lin Miaoting did not explain and did not tell Tang Xuemei and the others, let alone that she did not show filial piety. Otherwise, she would not have given the five hundred taels of silver to Tang Xuemei.    

It was just that she thought that the money she earned was her own. She normally showed filial piety to her parents and helped her brothers. She did her best to provide the best help to her parents and her brother. Why did she have to give away her property as well? She had her own plans as well. There was nothing she didn't explain that was wrong.    

Lin Miaoting's family leisurely finished their lunch and casually strolled on the streets. Along the way, they met a tea house. Lin Miaoting suggested going in to take a look. The other three also nodded in agreement. They thought that since their family had such a large amount of income, it was still possible to be extravagant once in a while.    

Just like that, 20 wen admission fee per person. There was a total of 80 wen. Lin Kaishan took it out from his wallet and handed it to the waiter at the door.    

The waiter led Lin Miaoting and the other three to their seats and respectfully served a pot of hot tea and a stack of melon seeds. Then he left.    

This teahouse had a rule that if one only took the entrance fee, one could only enjoy the basic treatment of a pot of tea and a stack of melon seeds. Furthermore, this tea was only filled three times. If one wanted to continue drinking tea, one could only pay extra. Therefore, the entertainment of listening to a play was definitely a luxury for the villagers.    

Of course, different admission fees had different treatment. It was the same for the high-ranking officials sitting in the first row. There were not only tea and melon seeds on their tables, but also a pile of fruits and snacks.    

The actors on the stage were singing something Lin Miaoting did not understand, so they could only drink the tea to pass the time. On the other hand, Lin Kaishan, Lin Zhize, and Tang Xuemei were happily listening. Lin Kaishan was even playing the rhythm on his legs.    

After drinking a pot of tea, Lin Miaoting did not ask the waiter to add water. She just lay on the table and listened to the singing of some unknown play. She closed her eyes and the Lin Miaoting in her dream seemed to have returned to her high school language class. She looked at the language teacher on the podium with a face full of confusion.    

Two hours passed. Lin Miaoting was woken up by Lin Zhize from her sleep. "You were the one who cried the loudest, but when you came in, you fell asleep! You wasted the twenty wen seating fee."    

Tang Xuemei also smiled and pointed at Lin Miaoting's nose. I think she just wants to find a place to rest. " Lin Kaishan did not say anything and just looked at Lin Miaoting with a smile and shook his head.    

Lin Miaoting felt wronged when she was teased. She just did not want to shop anymore. After all, there was nothing to see in the market.
