I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

When Lin Jin arrived at the academy, she discovered that there was an extra seat in the lecture hall. Although the desk there was no different from theirs, the utensils on the desk were obviously more exquisite. She thought it was Princess Jing'an's seat.

Xi Lilong only slightly raised his eyes when he saw her coming, without stopping the action of adjusting the salt. In this era, there are two techniques of brewing tea and boiling tea, but boiling tea is the most used: "I heard that you and Lin Er fell into the water yesterday? She asked the teacher for leave for three days, why didn't you rest at home?"

Today they learned how to make tea, so when Xi Lilong arrived, he started making tea on his own without waiting for the teacher to come and teach him.

"I'm fine, but my elder sister might have been frightened and really needs some rest." Lin Jin was sneezing yesterday, but after drinking two bowls of ginger tea, he became lively again. Lin Lin should actually be fine, he's just collecting the memories of the previous owner.

"Heh." Xi Lilong suddenly laughed, "Idiot."

Lin Jin looked at her in confusion: "Why did you scold me?"

"Did you push Lin Er down?" Xi Lilong did not answer her, but asked another question instead.

Lin Jin thought to herself, does she look so idle? Is she worried that the heroine will not fall into the water, so she wants to push her in and then jump in to save her? What a waste of time for herself: "Why would I save her if I pushed her in?"

"Both of you fell into the water, Lin Er fell ill, but you were safe and sound. How do you want others to think of you?" Xi Lilong had a not very obvious smile on his lips, but it was a slightly mocking smile, "The culprit?"

Yesterday's incident has already alarmed the nobleman, not to mention that the incident happened in a girls' college. Even if it was a case of accidental fall into the water, it must be investigated thoroughly to avoid gossip. But the problem is that there were signs of pushing and shoving between the two people by the lake.

Xi Lilong is the daughter of the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, so she heard about this incident last night. If no one can prove that it was not Lin Liu who pushed Lin Er, then Lin Liu cannot escape suspicion. Even if it was Lin Liu who rescued the person, perhaps there was a dispute between the two sisters and Lin Liu accidentally pushed Lin Er down.

The position of the Women's Academy is very awkward. Although this incident may be just a personal grudge between sisters, His Majesty will not allow such a thing to happen in the academy.

The Women's Academy is used by His Majesty to promote female officials. If Lin Liu is so petty and even defies the law in the academy, His Majesty will definitely not let him off easily.

"Ah?" This was like a pot dropped from the sky for Lin Jin, who was only good at fighting in the palace and the house. "Is this even reasonable?"

"Of course we have to tell the truth, but what can you do if the public gossip can destroy your heart?" Seeing that Lin Jin was still confused and even looked a little shocked, Xi Lilong pressed the corners of his lips and shook his head barely noticeably, "But you have the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Dali Temple will not close the case hastily. If you are really innocent, they will naturally do their best to clear your name."

He was not so stupid as to find a big tree to provide him with shade and coolness, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the academy after a few days and would have become a laughing stock of the world.

Although he is not loved by his relatives, he has caught the eyes of the Song family. It can be said that a fool has good fortune.

Lin Jin felt overwhelmed. The thing she was worried about yesterday had finally happened: "Will it implicate Sister Shi Xia?"

Xi Lilong skimmed off the black foam on the tea and said, "Even if Song Er is protecting you, you are not of the same status as her. You should have this self-awareness. Who do you think has helped you to sit here without knowing anything?"

Influence Song Er? This is such a weird joke.

If it was Song Er who pushed the person, Your Majesty would only say that it was Lin Er who spoke rudely first, and the one who would be unlucky would be Lin Er.

Song Er is someone that Princess Jing'an has to speak to in a nice tone whenever she sees him.

Xi Lilong gave Lin Jin a cup of tea: "Drink some tea. Since Song Er didn't ask for leave for you, he can ensure your safety. As for the others, you don't have to pay attention to them."

Lin Jin carefully took the tea and put it aside, intending to let it cool before drinking: "But didn't you just say that gossip can melt gold and constant criticism can destroy a person?"

"But Song Er will protect you. If there is no evidence to prove your innocence, and there is no evidence to prove your guilt, you don't need to care about those below Song Er. As for those above Song Er, you still need to be courteous to him. As long as Song Er protects you for one day, the news of the academy will not spread." Xi Lilong looked at Lin Jin's actions and frowned slightly: "It's okay if you can't make tea, but you can't taste tea?"

Drink tea while it's hot, don't let it cool down first.

"It's hot." Lin Jin looked a little innocent. She had a cat's tongue and was prone to blisters, so she couldn't eat anything that was too hot.

Xi Lilong frowned and just turned his eyes away calmly: "It's up to you. If you get scolded by the teacher, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Lin Jin's greatest strength is that she listens to advice. She quickly picked up the teacup, blew on it, and drank a little. Then she blinked at Xi Lilong: "Is that so? Sister."

It's too hot to eat. If you don't know how to taste tea, you won't be able to taste it.

Or maybe she had drunk too little tea and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

Xi Lilong was silent for a long time, then took a sip of tea slowly: "Lin Liu, in this life, if you meet someone who treats you like Song Er, you should cherish him well, because without Song Er, you may never find another one."

At least she couldn't stand Lin Liu like this.

"I know Sister Shixia is good to me, and I like Sister Shixia too." Lin Jin wanted to save Song Shixia so much because he knew this.

Xi Lilong knelt at the table, sipping tea with her eyes downcast, looking as gentle and demure as a lady in a painting. As if she saw Lin Jin's gaze, she raised the corners of her eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I just think you are beautiful, sister, with a frost-colored complexion and a fragrance like the autumn dew, just like a chrysanthemum in autumn."

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes there are. Lin Jin's compliments are completely free of charge.

Xi Lilong's expression didn't change at all, she just sipped her tea: "You can recite poems well, and you have read some books, but they are a bit miscellaneous." At this point, she was a little curious, "Lin Liu, do you read books to flatter people?"

She found that except for the time when Lin Liu praised others, her words were quite sophisticated, but otherwise she was really no different from a country woman.

Lin Jin thought for a moment and said, "No."

She actually learned a lot of things, which were all very useful. However, apart from her basic knowledge in Chinese, she couldn't make full use of the other knowledge in this era. So what could she do?

She didn't want to be considered trash in their eyes.

As for using it all to praise others, she was helpless about it. No matter how good her Chinese grades were or how many poems she had memorized, she could never compose poems like them. At best, she could only write modern poems. She was too embarrassed to plagiarize other people's works, so didn't she have to use it to praise others?

This is the same as when ancient people traveled through time to modern society. There is cultural overlap between them, but not much. The knowledge they learned needs to rely on modern technology, but the ancient people's knowledge is also the same in modern times.

She doesn't have the halo of the heroine, nor does she have the golden finger of the heroine, but she respects the culture of this era and recognizes the wisdom of the ancients. However, she doesn't think that she is bad in any way. Maybe she will make a joke occasionally, but she is also trying very hard to adapt to this era and learn the culture of this era.
