~7 min read 1,204 words

Kang Zhi Xia smiled, he was doing it for show.

If Kang Wen and Kang Wu were separated, no matter who, their cooperation would be greatly reduced; it's better this way.

Let everyone give it their all!

"What thanks, we're brothers!" Kang Zhi Xia grabbed Ning Hanmo's shoulder, then quietly said to Ning Hanmo, "Your three brothers are not bad."

Ning Hanmo smiled and nodded, "My brothers are naturally not bad either."

The two didn't say anything else; a game of cuju brought the children's feelings closer and quickly turned them into a team.

Everyone says sports best eliminate the distance between people.

Exactly, Jiang Yunchu thought the same.

"The winning team gets specially blended fruit tea at noon; the losing team's monthly rest is adjusted to one day."

"Convinced or not?"

When she asked the three words, her voice was a little loud, looking at each child below.

"Convinced!" The children, whether they had lost or won, all shouted loudly.

At that moment, Ning Hanmo raised his hand.

"Report!"

Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, "Speak."

"I apply to join the losing team and go to the slums with them."

"I apply……"

……

Kang Wen, Kang Wu, Kang Zhi Xia, Kang Nai Xin — the four also raised their hands.

It can be said they spoke with one voice.

Zhang Cunwen was a bit dazed, but he wasn't stupid; he immediately raised his hand too, "I also apply."

Jiang Yunchu looked at them, "Do you know what this trip means?"

"I don't know." Zhang Cunwen honestly shook his head……

Everyone's gaze instantly gathered on him, including Jiang Yunchu's.

Zhang Cunwen blinked; had he said something wrong?

"It means you will begin to sense the people's conditions, enter their livelihoods, and understand their nature."

"It means I will take you, starting from inside the academy, to go outside the academy."

"It means the more you know, the heavier the burden on your shoulders will become."

Jiang Yunchu lifted his head to look at each face; their faces still faced the morning sun, carrying hope.

"You……"

"Are you ready?"

A row of small people, each with a solemn expression, "Always ready!"

They shouted loudly, as if only thus could they prove their determination.

"Good!" Jiang Yunchu nodded.

"This month's break, collective action, one day in the slums."

Thus, the activity was decided; it was also time to bring these children toward some people's lives, into some people's hearts.

"Dismissed!"

"Sir, goodbye." The veteran students bowed together; the newcomers imitated them.

Jiang Yunchu left, but these children didn't move.

"Zhang Cunwen!" Kang Zhiqiu shouted.

Zhang Cunwen instinctively shouted, "Present!"

Then he looked at Kang Zhiqiu; some memories struck his mind, "Let's start right away."

He immediately stepped out and began running around the training field; he was already tired, having stayed up excited last night, and this morning's extensive exercise made his steps slow and heavy.

But a man must keep his word.

He had already arrived at Chun Hua Xue Yuan; he wanted to change himself from the root.

Ning Hanmo smiled, then stepped forward and followed.

Afterwards, Ning Qiancheng, Jia Chuan, and Han Shaojun followed together.

They are brothers!

"I'm going too." Kang Zhiqiu greeted, then stepped forward.

"What are we waiting for?" Kang Zhi Chun looked at everyone, smiled and shook his head.

The sweat that had just receded began to pour out again; Zi Wu had originally intended to call a few people to wash up, but seeing them running laps, he quietly withdrew.

The Princess Consort had said to give them space and freedom, to the greatest extent possible, letting them do what they wanted.

"Princess Consort, the Cao Manor sent silver; I didn't let them enter the Wang Fu—how should we handle it?" Zi Su came in from outside and hurriedly asked.

"Given what the Cao Manor did before, how could she dare let their people in?"

"By then, if something happens, it won't be clear or explainable."

"Who came this time?" Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, curious.

Zi Su saw the Princess Consort's expression, immediately realized something, but she laughed and shook her head, "This time a servant brought people over; there was no person in charge."

The Princess Consort felt bored and wanted to find some amusement.

But the Cao Manor seemed to have learned; this time there was no person in charge, just a servant who came over, explained the purpose, always smiling, and they didn't want to make things difficult for him.

"Let's go check." Jiang Yunchu rubbed his brow and put down the book in his hand.

"Greetings, Princess Consort." That little servant saw Jiang Yunchu come out and hurriedly knelt down.

Jiang Yunchu said softly, "Get up, tell me why you came."

"The previous matter was our eldest young master's own decision; this time our lord has sent all the silver over, and also let me come to apologize." The little servant, wiping sweat, answered.

"Weigh it, check it."

"Yes."

The people of the Regent Prince's Manor opened the box; this time they had learned their place, inside were only silver. After weighing, they combined it with the previous copper coins, totaling exactly 1,300 taels.

"Go tell your lord, the Regent Prince's Manor and the Cao household are settled; from now on, let's stay out of each other's way."

"As for his apology, if he is sincere, let him come himself."

After Jiang Yunchu finished speaking, she turned and returned directly to the Wang Fu.

The Cao household has already been offended, and moreover, Yue Yue's matter is intricately tied to the Cao household; the Cao household wants to let it go, but she cannot.

However, the silver has been returned; now the others in the shop who needed to be cleaned up have been cleaned up, and from now on the focus should shift to business.

Especially after recently storing grain, they discovered that this silver truly cannot be squandered…

"What time is it?" Originally she was going to the Rhyme Courtyard, but suddenly remembered that she had promised the children to make a special fruit tea for the victor.

She turned and went to the academy's dining hall.

"How did the Princess Consort come here?" The matron managing the dining hall, seeing Jiang Yunchu approach, hurriedly asked.

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, "I'll make something myself; you just keep busy."

She took out some ice cubes and the fruit previously stored in the ice cellar, and quickly made six cups of special fruit tea.

Afterward, she also boiled a pot of pear soup; those five children also couldn't be left unattended.

"Auntie, has my mother come?" After class ended at noon, the children ran over.

Especially the victorious Unit.

"The Princess Consort has come and has been busy inside for a long time." The matron, seeing Ning Hanmo, couldn't help but laugh.

These children, each one has become well-behaved.

Jiang Yunchu heard the commotion outside, poked her head out, looked at the few children hurrying over, and then said, "Come over and get it yourselves."

"Here they come!" Several people were happy.

The losing Unit's enthusiasm wasn't as high, but there was no other emotion; they ate their meal in an orderly manner.
