Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 414 Sports Field

When Song Chunlin arrived, the canteen was just opening for lunch. Altan skillfully took Song Chunlin to the canteen, and then they each got a meal. Song Chunlin took out the packed milk tea for him. It was not the first time for Altan to drink milk tea, but it was the first time to see packaged milk tea.

"This bamboo tube can be reused, right?"

"Well, now the milk tea in the store can be cheaper by one penny if you bring your own bamboo tube."

"I see. You are very thoughtful. This saves a lot of money on bamboo tubes."

Song Chunlin smiled and said nothing. That's because there are too few packing materials nowadays. There were only a few things that could be used in ancient times. Bamboo tubes are the most convenient and cheapest. However, it does save money and is environmentally friendly, which is something that modern times can't compare to.

The food in the cafeteria is relatively simple, with five meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and a soup. Each meal costs ten cents. There is no limit on how much you can eat but you cannot waste anything.

Altan's tuition was paid by the emperor, and accommodation was naturally included in it, but he had to pay for his food himself. As a little prince of the Turkic people, Altan was not favored, so he did not bring much money with him on this trip. Most of it was the dowry prepared for him by the Turkic Khan. These were in the hands of his two brothers, but he himself could not get any of them.

Ten cents for a meal was considered very cheap in the capital, but Altan did not eat alone, he also had a maid and a guard to support. This time his father Khan had given the two of them to him, and the monthly allowance was naturally paid by him. Without the dowry in his hands, he had no money, so the two of them had to eat whatever they could in the dormitory.

Hearing that Altan was short of money even for food, Song Chunlin frowned, and his impression of the two Turkic princes became even worse.

"I told you not to marry, so why are those two so stubborn? How about I help you find a way to get a few hundred taels from them first?"

"Cough cough cough..." Altan was shocked by his bold words. Sometimes he really couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the person in front of him. Maybe this was the reason why he couldn't win the argument?

"Well, isn't this a bad idea?" Altan hesitated.

"What's wrong with that? Isn't the dowry supposed to be given to you? Whether you use it for school or to get married, it's yours. Why would they keep it? Are they so short of money that they won't even let go of my brother's dowry?"

Song Chunlin's voice was getting louder and louder. Although Altan was a grassland man, he was not as thick-skinned as Song Chunlin. He was embarrassed to hear Altan loudly discussing his dowry in public. He desperately pulled Song Chunlin's sleeve, signaling him to speak in a lower voice.

"Ancestor, you are my ancestor, please, keep your voice down."

Song Chunlin looked around and found that everyone was indeed looking in this direction, so he lowered his voice and asked him what he thought.

Of course Altan was 100% willing. What Song Chunlin said was right. That was originally his dowry. No matter whether he got married or went to school, what was given to him was his. It didn't matter how he used it.

So the two hit it off immediately. Song Chunlin was responsible for helping Altan get back the dowry. After eating, Altan took Song Chunlin for a walk in the college.

"It is said that the land over there is going to be flattened to build a sports field. What is a sports field? Is it like our grassland, where people can duel on it?"

Song Chunlin: "How should I put it? We Han people don't really like dueling. We just use it as a simple exercise. We should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest when we go to school, haha."

Altan wondered: "Is that so? Why not make it bigger so that we can ride horses on it?"

Song Chunlin looked at the hilltop and felt that if he wanted to ride a horse, this hilltop might not be enough.

The new college is relatively simple, with only a square at the entrance. The teaching building is also two-story and a little smaller than the dormitory building. The cafeteria is on the right side of the gate, and on the left are several relatively spacious large classrooms, which are used for those crazy people to do experiments. There is also a platform a little below the hill, which is reserved for those students who make explosives. Their experiments are too powerful, and it is noisy if they are close to the house.

After visiting the academy, Song Chunlin thought about what needed to be improved. After saying goodbye to Altan, he waved and left. When he returned to the capital, he began to plan how to get Altan's things from the two Turkic princes.

After knowing his thoughts, Gu Fengyun sneered and said, "You actually still want to do it openly one day, this is really rare. If I were to ask you, based on your previous practices, shouldn't you just go to their warehouse and get it?"

The word "拿" was pronounced with great emphasis. Song Chunlin shrank his neck, unable to forget the thick stack of files he had seen in the Ministry of Justice. They were all about cases of thefts in warehouses of some large households. Needless to say, they were all done by Song Chunlin. So many files really gave the people in the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture a headache for a long time.

Gu Fengyun went to great lengths to make everyone forget about these cases, and he almost found an excuse to burn them down.

However, Gu Fengyun also reminded him who he was. He had a golden finger. It would be time-consuming and laborious to do it openly, so it would be better for him to go and get it back for Alatan secretly. Anyway, those two idiots couldn't find the murderer, and the most they could do was to add bricks and tiles to Gu Fengyun's file.

However, Song Chunlin believed that the two men would definitely not dare to report to the police, as these things were not theirs. It would be a bad reputation even on the grassland to covet their brother's dowry. If the matter really got out of hand, they would be the first to be embarrassed.
