She opened her mouth and asked, "That Gongsun Chi, I feel like I’ve heard the name before, but I just can’t remember who it is."
Huanhuan and Changzhou, who were beside her, shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know either.
The Little Traitor’s eyes lit up, he knew, and with a bit of excitement he spoke, "It’s from the Mechanical Family, the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Chi should be from there."
Mechanical Family, Gongsun Family~
Ah, so that’s it!
Ye Zhi’s bright eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands happily and said, "I remember now, the square lacquered red box I save my money in is from his family, it was my birthday gift from my dad."
Her money box is a square lacquered red box, about eight inches in length and width. The wood is top-notch, and the box is surrounded by intricately carved plum blossoms, locked with a small lock. The lock pattern is traditional cloud pattern, exquisite and petite.
The small lock has a special design, without a key, it can’t be opened~
The wooden surface of the box has a layer of wax applied, which is fireproof and waterproof. The wood is top quality, if you try to chop it open with an axe or a knife, it would damage the silver notes inside, breaking them makes them unusable.
Ye Zhi is very satisfied with her little money box, if someone were to steal it, the thief would have to spend a long time trying to break it open.
(She forgot there’s a tool called a saw, which could cut it open in moments.)
The box hidden under the bed already has more than two thousand taels stored in it.
If she saves a bit more, in July she can give money to the Little Traitor to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain. With money comes confidence, money makes the world go round, and it’s always right to carry a bit extra when going out~
When she came back to her senses, her little hand was already being examined carefully by the Little Traitor on the table, like it was a treasure.
Huanhuan and the others were also watching from the side.
Ye Zhi felt a bit embarrassed, and awkwardly pulled her hand back: "Xiao Chen, it doesn’t actually hurt. The teacher was lenient because I’m a girl."
In front of a few little friends, she moved her hands, her eyes shining bright: Look, no problem.
"Is it? Mr. Qin hit me, and it hurt a lot." Huanhuan’s voice carried a touch of grievance, accusing Mr. Qin of his misdeeds.
The loyal dog Ji Changzhou mimicked her usual gesture, patting her head to show comfort~
She studies sporadically, three days of fishing, two days of lounging, so Ji Changzhou felt quite content that she could attend the Upper Imperial College.
As for other matters, he didn’t dare think too much about them, all he could do was mimic her handwriting in daily assignments, but when it came to teacher question-and-answer sessions, he was of no help at all.
Xiao Li Qian reached out to pull Ye Zhi’s beaten left hand: "Is it that Ah Zhi is holding back and not saying anything?"
Ye Zhi naturally didn’t avoid it; she was quite familiar with the adorable Eldest Prince, it should be fine for kids to hold hands.
But.
For some reason, she felt a bit cold, as if two cold gazes were upon her~
When Xiao Li Qian was about to touch her hand, she narrowly dodged, deliberately waving her left hand: "No need, no need to look, nothing’s wrong. If something was wrong, with my personality, I would have started shouting a long time ago."
Ye Zhi didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but she suddenly felt warm, as the coldness disappeared.
Looking up, all her little friends looked perfectly normal, she was annoyed at herself for overthinking.
Qinglian, pure and innocent, nodded: "That’s true."
Xiao Li Qian thought about that Gongsun Chi, "But that Gongsun Chi, usually in class he doesn’t have much presence, if the teacher hadn’t mentioned him this time, I wouldn’t have even noticed him."
