【2】The Rich Second Generation Is Forced to Start All Over Again

Chapter 210 The Minister of Household Affairs

Yan Junqi felt that He Songzhi had a similar personality to his family's Lu Zhou, and they were both the quiet type who were not very good at socializing.

The difference is that Lu Zhou has done housework by himself since he was a child, voluntarily gave up playing, and spent his time helping at home and studying.

Although Lu Xu was always worried that Lu Zhou had no friends, Lu Zhou was actually quite popular.

When he was in the village, he didn't like to play. The children in the village liked to look for him. They called him Lu Zhou ten times. He stopped playing nine times, but the eleventh time they still called him.

He is also very popular in the county school, especially after his family conditions have improved and he does not need to spend time helping the family every day. He has made many friends in the county school.

He Songzhi is different.

He seemed to have never experienced being alone. He was a little confused and didn't know how to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with others.

It's not right to say that, he would take the initiative to talk to Yan Junqi at the Qionglin Banquet, because at that time they didn't know him, didn't understand him, and didn't dislike him.

But now that he knows others are avoiding him, he doesn't know how to talk to colleagues who reject him to resolve conflicts.

There is no special canteen in the Hanlin Academy. During lunch, everyone eats under the long corridor for rest to prevent the smell of food from staying indoors.

The food provided to the courtiers is a pancake and a bowl of hot water. In the past, when conditions were good, there were sugar pancakes and meat pancakes every now and then, and the water was also tea. Nowadays, half of the whole grain pancakes are white flour and boiled water. At least it was burned.

Only those with grades above three will be specially prepared to cook meals, which can ensure one meat, one vegetable, two dishes and one soup.

Emperor Hong'an was very practical. The treasury had no money and the people were starving. Their royal family had to cut back on clothing and food, and the ministers had to follow suit.

Don't you think it tastes good? Bring it yourself!

Whoever has money can take it with them.

But no one would be stupid enough to show off their wealth in this way at this time. What if someone dislikes him and secretly reports him for corruption and bribery?

At lunch, all the familiar people ate and chatted together, and soon there were not many people in the room.

Yan Junqi saw that He Songzhi wanted to strike up a conversation with others, so he took the cake and passed by others, always paying attention to see if anyone wanted to talk to him.

However, no.

When the scholars of the same period saw him, they would turn their heads away silently.

He Songzhi found a deserted corner to sit down, and wiped the porch stool for Yan Junqi.

He Songzhi was already very happy to have Yan Junqi accompany him for dinner today.

He took out the snacks prepared at home and gave them to Yan Junqi.

Steamed white rice soft cake, mixed with osmanthus sugar, melts in your mouth.

Yan Junqi thanked him and tasted it, "It's very sweet."

He Songzhi handed him another piece, and Yan Junqi did not refuse.
