Chapter 231 The Dean's Temperament

"You are so pitiful, I will let you go."

Jiang Tunan acted as if he was ready to be criticized, which made Luo Feng even more speechless.

"If you don't say anything, I'll leave. I have something else to do. Goodbye."

Jiang Tunan accelerated and left Luo Fengruan behind and returned to his own yard.

After Jiang Tunan left, Luo Fengruan stood there and spoke, then she took out from her sleeve the receipt for today's course selection at the Women's School. The first column on it said Honglu Temple, and the second column originally said Taiyue Bureau of Taichang Temple, but it was corrected in red pen to Taiyi Bureau of Taichang Temple.

......

Jiang Tunan went straight back to his yard. Chunhua saw Jiang Tunan from a distance and immediately came forward to ask,

"Miss, how was your day at Imperial College?"

"That's it."

Jiang Tunan didn't want to talk about what happened today. When the guard at the door saw Jiang Tunan coming towards the gate, he immediately perked up and stood up straight.

"You..are back again?"

This guy was unwilling to work under me before, so why is he so devoted to me now?

"Miss, I have thought about this before. You are kind and gentle. There is no better place for you to go than here."

Jiang Tunan: Why don’t I believe it?

"That's up to you."

Anyway, this server doesn't have much presence, at most it helps run errands sometimes.

"Is Miss Cousin back?"

The Xiao family's housekeeper stood at the gate and looked into the courtyard.

"Miss is back. Is there anything that Butler Zhao wants to talk to you about?"

He was talking to Butler Zhao at the door. Butler Zhao came over at this time to convey Xiao Huaimin's message.

"My Lord asked my cousin to have dinner in the flower hall. Today, the Xiao Mansion has distinguished guests, and my Lord wanted my cousin to show her face in front of them."

Although Jiang Tunan was in the house, she could hear clearly all the conversations outside. The so-called distinguished guest should be the local gentleman whom she had just seen at the gate of Xiao's house.

"Now that the message has been delivered, I will leave first. Please arrive on time, Miss Cousin."

Jiang Tunan came out of the house only after Butler Zhao left. He stood at the gate and repeated what Butler Zhao had just said. Jiang Tunan nodded to show that he understood.

"Miss, do you want to change your clothes?"

Chunhua saw that Jiang Tunan was still wearing the student uniform of a girls' school, and thought that since he was a distinguished guest, she should dress Jiang Tunan up.

"No, just go ahead."

Luo Fengruan also came today wearing a student uniform. If she changed her clothes, she would feel a little out of place. That Chengzhang Xiangjun didn't look like someone who was easy to talk to, so she should not be too ostentatious.

"Miss, walk slowly."

Fu Le was still guarding outside Jiang Tunan's yard. When Jiang Tunan passed by Fu Le, he smelled a faint bamboo fragrance, which Jiang Tunan found familiar.

Jiang Tunan just looked at him strangely, and walked towards the flower hall without saying anything.

In the past, Jiang Tunan always had to pant for a long time every time she walked from her yard to the flower hall. At that time, she thought that her body was too weak and she couldn't walk long distances. Later, Jiang Shouyan told her that it was because her soul had not completely merged with her body that caused her occasional lack of strength.

Fortunately, she wasn't really sick, so I felt much more relieved now.

When Jiang Tunan arrived at the flower hall, most of the other people in the Xiao Mansion had arrived. Lady Chengzhang was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Jiang Tunan, who had just arrived, was still wearing a student's uniform. Just when she wanted to lecture him, she turned her head and saw that her granddaughter Luo Fengruan was also wearing a student's uniform, so she didn't know what to say.

"Nannan is here, come and sit next to me."

Xiao Huaimin waved at Jiang Tunan. On his other side sat Mrs. Xiao, and next to Mrs. Xiao was Chengzhang Xiangjun.

"Sir Xiao, this is a little against etiquette."

Chengzhang Xiangjun almost blurted out that Jiang Tunan was just a cousin. She had just heard Luo Fengruan introduce Jiang Tunan's background. It was said that she was an orphan from the Anguo family. She was raised casually in a foreign land since she was a child and had hardly received any discipline.

No wonder she thought some of Jiang Tunan's greeting gestures and behaviors were not very dignified.

"Mother, it's just an ordinary family dinner, don't be so bound by rules and regulations."

What's more, Xiao Huaimin is the owner of the Xiao Mansion. If he doesn't mind, what else can others say?

Chengzhang Xiangjun glared at Madam Luo unhappily. Why did she butt in at this time?

When Mrs. Luo received the gaze from the gentleman, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"That's right, we are all family, why should we be so particular, Nan Nan, don't just stand there, come over here quickly."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Xiao Huaimin quickly spoke up to smooth things over. In front of Chengzhang Xiangjun, Mrs. Xiao couldn't say anything, so she could only help Xiao Huaimin.

"Yes, you finally came to Kyoto. I didn't expect that you would be honored to come to Xiao's house. Today, I asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes. You should eat more later."

Cheng Zhang Shaojun's hair was combed meticulously, and there was a perfect smile on his face.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Tunan secretly observed everyone present and found that Xiao Mingyue and Luo Yunqing had not arrived yet.

"What are you looking at?"

A low voice came from beside Jiang Tunan. When she turned around, she found that the person sitting next to her was Xiao Mingrui.

"I'm checking when dinner is served."

Xiao Mingrui was used to Jiang Tunan's speaking style, and his expression remained stable.

"I should choose my classes today."

"elected."

Xiao Mingrui waited for Jiang Tunan to continue talking about what courses he had chosen, but Jiang Tunan did not intend to continue speaking after saying these two words.

"Father, mother, hometown master, father-in-law, mother-in-law..."

Xiao Mingyue arrived late with Luo Yunqing, so he greeted everyone present first, even Jiang Tunan was greeted (literally).

"Yun Qing is late, please forgive me, Grandmother."

Chengzhang Township Lord waved his hand.

"Forget it, sit down quickly."

Luo Yunqing sat next to Xiao Mingyue. Jiang Tunan looked at everyone in the Luo family except Luo Shengtai, who acted like quails in front of Xiangjun. She discovered that Chengzhang Xiangjun had the temperament of a dean of education.

"How was your day at the Girls' School today, Nan Nan? What classes did you choose?"

Xiao Huaimin took the initiative to ask about Jiang Tunan in order to attract Luo Shengtai's attention.

Although Luo Shengtai usually taught in the men's college of the Imperial College, because there were not many teachers in the women's college, the teachers in the men's college often went to teach in the women's college.

Although Luo Shengtai was stubborn, Xiao Huaimin had to admit that he was indeed capable in teaching. The key point was that he himself was well-educated, otherwise the emperor would not have relied on him so much.

"My uncle, I majored in calligraphy, arithmetic, music, and archery, and I took the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Honglu Temple as my minors."

Luo Shengtai glanced at Jiang Tunan roughly and said nothing.

Chengzhang Xiangjun looked a little displeased. In her eyes, it was a bit absurd for a woman to study medicine, because studying medicine meant taking people's pulses, and taking pulses involved physical contact. If it was a woman, it would be fine, but if it was a man, wouldn't it be too absurd?

"Archery? Nan Nan, you actually chose archery. Great, great, you have courage!"

In Xiao Huaimin's eyes, no matter what Jiang Tunan did, he would praise it. Mrs. Xiao was speechless when she saw this, so she thought of speaking to divert Xiao Huaimin's attention.

"I wonder what classes Miss Luo has chosen this year?"

Luo Fengruan was a little flustered when her name was suddenly called. Perhaps she was too nervous and told the truth directly.

"The major is still the same as before, and the minor this year is the Honglu Temple and... the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"what?!"
