Today was a fine weather.
All major academies in the capital had begun their cla.s.ses again one after another, and Qinghe Academy was no exception.
Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, carrying their book bags, went to the academy to report early in the morning.
They didn't have much cla.s.swork on the first day. Cla.s.ses were mainly to make them get their focus back on studying.
As the two walked into the academy’s courtyard with their book bags, they met Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin, the pair of brothers from the Marquis Estate who had been away for many days.
After two months of suffering from injuries, Gu Chenglin was finally able to walk normally, but he had been left with a deep trauma in his heart, so much so that he always felt like he would be injured if he were just to take a few steps.
The four people met at the entrance, creating quite the awkward scene.
Gu Chenglin was looking at Gu Yan with eyes still full of resentment, but there was more fear underneath this resentment.
As long as he saw Gu Yan, he would recall the picture of himself getting locked up in the small and dark storeroom and being beaten up ruthlessly by Gu Jiao, and he dared not easily lay a hand on Gu Yan again.
He could only hope now that Gu Yan would have an accident on his own, so as to dispel this hatred!
Gu Xiaoshun decisively stood in front of Gu Yan and blocked the sight of the two brothers.
Don’t be kidding. Apart from being a woodcarver, he was also the number one bully in the countryside. To him, they were no more than chicken feathers!
He, Gu Xiaoshun, wasn’t to be trifled with!
"Let’s go." Gu Chengfeng had no intention of fighting with these two in the academy.
Gu Changqing had given them the absolute order early. If they were to stir up any trouble outside, he would punish them to live in the ancestral hall for a year!
Living in the ancestral hall itself wasn’t that big of a deal. It was just that he was still carrying a debt at the moment, and he had to sneak out every night to do missions to pay off his debts. It would be inconvenient to do that under the watchful eyes of his eldest brother's dark guards.
Gu Chenglin was taken away by his second brother.
Gu Yan: "Humph!"
The four people went into their respective cla.s.srooms.
Meanwhile, Xiao Liulang and Little Jing Kong also went to the Imperial Academy for their cla.s.ses.
Xiao Liulang first sent Little Jing Kong to the door of the private elementary school and told him, "I'll pick you up for lunch at noon."
"I know!" Little Jing Kong said casually, "I'm four years old, I’m not a child!"
Actually, Xiao Liulang had doubts about his age and always thought that it was possible for the abbot to have overestimated his age. After all, he simply looked too small for a four-year-old little dumpling.
"All right, go in." Xiao Liulang said.
Little Jing Kong entered the private elementary school holding his bookbag.
Why must he even go to school?
Obviously, he just wanted to stay by JiaoJiao’s side and become JiaoJiao's little tail.
Students in the private elementary school had changed a lot because children grew up fast. After a year, everyone was either taller or plumper, only Little Jing Kong was still a small dumpling. Sitting on his chair, his head could almost be blocked by his desk.
Some of his cla.s.smates started laughing at him.
"Jing Kong, why are you still so small? When will you grow up?"
"Yeah yeah! Are you not eating or what?"
"You're not still a baby, are you?"
Little Jing Kong's book bag contained a bottle of milk that Gu Jiao filled for him, saying that drinking more milk could make him grow taller.
But at the moment, he refused to drink milk in front of these little cla.s.smates of his!
He didn’t want to be laughed at any more than this by them.
Among these people, Qin Chuyu had the most arrogant laugh.
Qin Chuyu had been absent after getting chicken pox and didn’t come back to school until after the new year.
He was now eight years old. Not only had he gained weight, but he was also a little taller.
He reached out to touch Little Jing Kong's little hat and said, "Little baby, do you want some candy? Call me big brother and I’ll give you some!"
Little Jing Kong gave him a speechless look, "Childis.h.!.+"
Qin Chuyu：“…”
A little while later, the teacher entered the cla.s.sroom.
It wasn’t Teacher Jiang, but a teacher surnamed Sun.
Teacher Jiang had been transferred to Guangye Hall, and from today onwards, Teacher Sun would be the one in charge of the elite cla.s.s of the elementary division.
After introducing himself, Teacher Sun began to check the holiday homework of the students of the elite cla.s.s.
The cla.s.smates who were still laughing at Little Jing Kong just now suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore. They all spent their New year vacation wildly, how could they still remember to do their homework?
In fact, there were not many parents like Xiao Liulang who checked their children's homework every day. Generally, they let their children grow up doing as they pleased.
And the result of such upbringing could be imagined.
The whole cla.s.s wailed.
In the middle of this lamentation, only the small dumpling Jing Kong silently opened his book bag and took out his New Year vacation homework.
Today, the atmosphere in the Imperial Academy was somewhat unusual. Even the students of the private elementary division, who were all still young, were aware of this change.
As soon as Xiao Liulang entered Shuaixing Hall, he felt that the atmosphere was strangely solemn, but mixed within this solemness were traces of gossiping.
"Hey, have you heard? Director Zheng is ill!"
"How could he suddenly fall ill?"
"Isn't it because of that matter?"
"What matter?"
"It has spread so much, you really haven't heard of it?"
"No."
"All right, stop keeping people in suspense and just spit it out!"
His cla.s.smates indeed never let Xiao Liulang down, their gossipping let Xiao Liulang know the whole story.
It turned out that there had long been news in the palace that His Majesty would bestow the eldest prince the t.i.tle of Ning w.a.n.g and Director Zheng the position of Imperial Academy Chief.
Director Zheng even had the Chief uniform embroidered and the banquet arranged in advance. Even the invitations were all ready and just needed to be sent out later.
Who would have thought that all of it would be ruined halfway? The former Chief wrote His Majesty a letter, saying that he had returned to the capital.
His Majesty was unable to sit still at once. Since the former Chief was back, why was there still a need for a new Chief? His Majesty completely forgot the conferment on the spot, making Director Zheng turned green with anger.
How straight Director Zheng’s back was when he soared high was how low his head was when he fell down.
He lost all his face and became the laughingstock of the whole court.
It took only half an hour for such important news to reach the Imperial Academy.
"Director Zheng isn’t here today even though he said he would give us lectures." One student said.
"I bet he had wanted to come to cla.s.s only to hear us call him Chief, right?" Another student said.
After Xiao Liulang's exam paper was revealed in public, as well as the account book recording Director Zheng’s corruption, Director Zheng tried his best to whitewash these matters for a long time. However, there were still many Imperial Academy students who had retained their bad impression of him. Among the six cla.s.ses, students of Shuaixing Hall were the least likely to be fooled, and Director Zheng received the least support from them.
After Xiao Liulang entered the cla.s.sroom, everybody stopped talking.
