Chapter 136: Pretending To Be Elegant
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The fragrance of the Ruyi Clothing Shop lasted for two to six hours. During this period, Xiaoxiao did not walk out of the small kitchen, nor did she let anyone in. After Shopkeeper Liu instructed not to disturb her, she got busy herself. Xiaoxiao, who had finally tested the optimal ratio, rubbed her shoulders and walked out.

“I left a few pieces for you guys inside. I’ve also tidied up the small kitchen. I’ll go out for a walk to stretch my muscles. I’ll have to trouble Sister Liu to help me keep my things first. Second Brother and I will push the cart over to get them later.”
At this moment, she was even more glad that she was trying to make sponge cake at the Ruyi Clothing Shop. Otherwise, her parents would definitely be heartbroken when they saw the consumption!
The flour, eggs, and white sugar were almost all used up. She had to buy more while she still had financial freedom today.
After buying the things, she asked the shopkeepers to send them to the cloth shop. Anyway, they were already familiar with each other. Xiaoxiao prepared to send some warm ones to Second Brother herself. On the way to the stall, she specially turned to Bowen Academy to take a look. She could not tell what the four words on the plaque at the entrance were, but she felt that every word was written very beautifully and elegantly. It had the unique elegance of a scholar. Just as he was admiring it, a question came from beside him.
“What do you see?”
Xiaoxiao turned around and saw an old man with a long beard smiling at her with kindness.
She said, “I just think the person who wrote this should be impatient.”
The old man stroked his neat beard. “How so?”
Xiaoxiao also touched her chin. “That’s what 1 think.”
The old man and the young lady did the same actions as they looked up at the plaque. Their expressions were quite similar, but a certain young master in blue who had just stood at the door said unhappily, “Do you know who wrote this?” Of course, he did not expect a young lady to know about the Bowen Academy, so he answered his own question. “This is the dean’s handwriting!” “The dean of the Bowen Academy was the top scholar decades ago. He was well-read in poetry and literature and was outstanding. Back then, he took the examination at a young age and was appointed by the late emperor as the new top scholar. He personally conferred the title of Hanlin Academy’s editor and personally served the Emperor. The dean was dedicated to the people. During his service, he raised many initiatives to benefit the people. He even compiled several poetry collections and histories. He was famous throughout the world, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune. However, he resigned calmly when he got promoted and retired for many years. Now that he has returned to establish the academy, he wants to nurture more talents for our Great Xia.” “Such an open-minded person, but you say he’s impatient?”
Xiaoxiao could tell that this was the dean’s fanatical fan.
The more the young master spoke, the angrier he became. “You don’t know how many years we’ve waited for the dean. Now that such a person is willing to come out of seclusion to teach, we’re so happy that we can’t sleep at night. Even when we come to take a look at the dean’s calligraphy, we feel our blood boil. The words ‘Bowen Academy’ are bold and powerful, but you say that he’s impatient?”
Another student in white clothes beside him went forward and patted his shoulder. He said, “A wild girl taught by a bumpkin is naturally as ignorant as her parents. How can she know anything?”
The man in blue pulled him. “Brother Lei, there’s no need…” There was no need to go overboard.
However, the young master in white did not listen at all. He only raised his head with a disdainful expression. When he looked at Xiaoxiao, it was as if he was looking at something dirty. When he spoke, he even covered his mouth and nose, his face full of disdain.
“Can an old man and a village girl understand this? Why are you pretending to be elegant?”
“Oh, 1 forgot. Your parents probably don’t have the ability to teach you what ‘elegant’ is. Don’t embarrass yourself outside with a poor smell. Hurry up and go home to pick feces with your parents, hahahaha..”
