Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 150 The considerate chick

"The teachers may be busy during this period. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. Don't delay your studies."

Yun Qinghan thought about his master's instructions, and felt that as a senior brother, it would not be a problem for him to take some time out to teach his junior brother. But judging from the junior brother's expression, he might really have to delay for a while.

"Haha, okay, I get it. If I have any questions, I will definitely ask you, brother."

Shu Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly twice and agreed with a bitter face.

What else could be the problem?

It would have been fine if I didn't notice it before, but he kept his hands full with books every day. Even the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to do that.

Don't even think about asking her to memorize content outside of her own courses now.

Thinking back on it, she kind of admired herself. How did she manage to hold on to such a high intensity? She didn't have to take any exams.

You have to know that in ancient times people valued both civil and military skills, and the six arts of a gentleman. They would not cultivate warriors with strong limbs but simple minds. Therefore, even for students in military schools, cultural courses are indispensable. You have to practice martial arts, memorize books, and write articles. After all, when you serve as an official in the court and report your work and write official documents, the court will not care whether you are a military general or a civil official.

You have to learn what you need to learn, it's just a little less than what you learn in the liberal arts, but the task is not easy.

But the amount of study she had done before was no less than that of liberal arts. What was this? It was a combination of liberal arts and science! No wonder it always felt like she could never finish studying.

From now on, she would become a qualified student of the military science class and would never learn any knowledge outside of the class. Her small shoulders could not carry so much knowledge.

From now on, she doesn't have to memorize that pile of books. After her tireless efforts in academic subjects over this period of time, her progress in academic subjects is definitely far ahead of others in the class.

Next, just review appropriately and don’t forget what you have already memorized and mastered, and keep up with the practice.

This way, she would have an easier time in the next period of time.

From now on she no longer needs to memorize books. She had a headache from memorizing all those books like The Four Books and Five Classics, "Youxue Qionglin", "Sound and Rhythm Primer", "Book of Filial Piety", "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" all day long. From today on she will return to her happy student life.

She no longer wanted to memorize lessons twelve hours out of twenty-four hours a day.

With nothing to do and no pressure from knowledge, Shu Xiaoxiao felt even lighter. She said hello to her senior brother and walked out happily.

Looking at the cheerful figure of his junior fellow apprentice, Yun Qinghan smiled, feeling that his master might have a headache next.

......

Coming out and looking at Huo Feng feeding the chickens virtuously, and the sturdy roosters and hens on the ground, Shu Xiaoxiao felt that she had been so busy during this period and needed some replenishment. She believed that these considerate chickens would be happy to help her with this little thing.

"Huo Feng, the chickens you raise are really fat. I think they are bigger than the ones raised by Aunt Kong. I knew it was the right thing to give the chickens to you." Shu Xiaoxiao had an expression that said "I believe you" on her face, which left Huo Feng speechless.

Huo Feng rolled his eyes: "I didn't expect you still remembered these chickens, I thought you had forgotten about them long ago." Then he turned around and continued to spread the millet in his hand evenly on the ground for the chicks to peck at.

Watching the chick grow from a small furry ball to its current plump and strong appearance, Huo Feng, having gone from being reluctant at the beginning to feeling quite a sense of accomplishment now.

When the weather was good before, these chickens could go out to find food by themselves, and he would feed them occasionally. Now that the weather is cold, Huo Feng basically feeds these chickens three times a day. Hey, you know what, under his feeding, these chickens are growing meat very fast, and now they don’t even have to buy eggs specifically to eat in their yard.

You know what, the eggs are really delicious.

Now the prince praised him for feeding the chickens well! This sense of achievement made him very active in feeding the chickens now. He was more punctual than himself in every meal. Sometimes he would ask his colleagues to help him feed the chickens even if he was hungry.

Even his colleagues showed no interest in chickens, which made him too embarrassed to show off his achievements.

Ye Xiao had thrown the chickens to him and then just ignored them. Although that was not a good thing to do, it was clear at a glance that the chickens he raised were better than others, so he had good vision.

"How can they not be fat? You bought the chickens and left them there. I feed them three meals a day with rice, millet, barren millet (rice or millet with incomplete grains), and wild peas in turn. I also let them exercise every day. With my careful care, they are much fatter than ordinary chickens."

Huo Feng deliberately emphasized the words "ordinary chicken".

Although Shu Xiaoxiao did not understand what Huo Feng meant, she felt that raising chickens could be done by just sowing some grain every day. Their chickens were free-range, so it would be easier to raise them.

But she would definitely have to trouble Guard Huo later, so it didn't affect her affirmation of Huo Feng at all.

"I know that Brother Huo is the best. You are very skilled in martial arts and have extraordinary skills. You are definitely the most qualified guard. You are also handsome and loyal to your senior brother. State affairs, family affairs, big things, and small things are no problem for you. Feeding chickens is a small thing that you can definitely do easily. It's no big deal!"

If you want people to help you with something, it’s always a good idea to be sweet-mouthed.

Huo Feng: “…”

He just wanted to show off his sense of accomplishment in feeding the chickens and wanted to find someone to share his experience. He had no other intention in this psychological journey. There was really no need for Mr. Ye to be so exaggerated. He was a little scared.

Seeing Huo Feng's expression, Shu Xiaoxiaoye felt that she had gone a little too far.

Shu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and said, "Well, as the saying goes, a mule or a horse should be taken out for a walk. Whether this chicken is good or not, you can only know it by tasting it. Guard Huo, let's kill two chickens today to taste them. I have a lot of delicious mushrooms here, which are absolutely delicious when used to make chicken soup."

Huo Feng looked incredulous: "You've been talking for a long time, but you just want to eat the chickens I raised."

Shu Xiaoxiao: "I said, let's try it. Let's try the taste of chicken."

Seeing Ye Xiao's stubborn look, Huo Feng had no choice but to say, "I've asked around, and these chickens will be best eaten in two months. If you really want to eat them, I can go to the kitchen or just catch two pheasants."

"My chicken is not only for meat, but it is also laying eggs. It would be a waste to eat them. You have a lot of study to do now, so you should go back and memorize your lessons. I will make chicken soup for you in the evening."

Shu Xiaoxiao:......

Even Huo Feng knew that she had a heavy workload, so why had she been so obsessed before? No matter what, she must drink this chicken soup today.

"I don't have to eat your chicken, but think about it, the academy is about to close for the holidays, do you really want to take these chickens with you when we go back?

But if we don’t take them back, the chicken will probably be old by the time we return. And if you leave, who knows if someone else will eat the chicken? By then, it will be too late for you to find someone else. You’ve fed the chickens for so many days, you can’t just feed them to someone else, right?”

What she said was not without reason. In addition to the annual holiday this year, there is also the Spring Examination, so the holiday will be longer. By the time they come back, the chicken will definitely not be as tender.

And although there will be people guarding here, there is no guarantee whether they will eat the chicken or not.
