The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277: 621 Intimacy (First Update)

Gu Jiao didn’t say he was wrong or anything like that; it was not her nature to argue with others, especially over things she didn’t care about.

Apart from the allocation of dormitories, Zhong Ding also told them their class schedule and locations, and he stressed that they must remember to attend class tomorrow morning and not be late.

"Being late will be recorded as a demerit, and the rules at Tianqiong Academy are very strict. Accumulating more than three demerits will result in expulsion."

Having listened to him go on and on, at last, they received some important information.

They couldn’t afford any demerits or to be expelled, after all, Tianqiong Academy was Gu Jiao’s only way to stay in Yan Country.

Upon leaving the eastern courtyard, Gu Xiaoshun still wanted to check out the southern courtyard, but Gu Jiao wasn’t that interested anymore: "They’re all the same; there’s nothing special to see."

Gu Xiaoshun thought about it and seemed to agree. Being from Zhan Country, could the dormitories assigned to them really be that different?

"Then let’s hurry and rendezvous with Master’s wife and them."

In front of others, Gu Xiaoshun called them Master’s wife and Master, but only referred to them as mom and dad when alone with Nanxiang.

The two of them returned the way they had come to the back door of Tianqiong Academy.

Honestly, besides the purpose of Gu Yan’s surgery, Gu Jiao was indeed very interested in Shengdu of Yan Country. It was just that she had no intention of sightseeing before resolving Gu Yan’s issue.

Master’s wife Nan and Master Lu’s carriage was already parked nearby.

Picking up their carriage with the token, Gu Xiaoshun, lamenting the cost, said, "Sister, it was just for a moment, and they charged me a tael of silver. Everything in Yan Country is so expensive; they charge for everything!"

Gu Jiao reached out and brushed a leaf off his shoulder, "No matter, it’s just a tael of silver."

Gu Xiaoshun said, "Still, we need to save every penny. We need to keep the silver for Gu Yan’s treatment."

Before they left, they didn’t realize how expensive things were in Yan Country, especially in Shengdu. A plain steamed bun costs two taels, a meat bun three taels, and lamb buns four taels...

Master’s wife Nan had lived in Shengdu over a decade ago, but back then, wasn’t it three buns for a tael? Why had the price increased so much?

"Don’t worry, I have some savings at the bank as well," Master’s wife Nan told Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun.

Gu Jiao didn’t act reserved with Master’s wife Nan, but even with her addition, it likely wouldn’t be enough for their long-term expenses. It seemed they would need to find a way to earn some money.
