Chapter 157 Sudden Enthusiasm
There were morning classes that day. As soon as the brothers Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng arrived at the Imperial College, a sharp-eyed student saw them and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Good morning, Mr. Shen."
Wei Zeduo, who was still talking loudly a second ago, waved at them happily: "Boyan, Zhongyu, this way."
"Shen Jiansheng, this way."
It was not yet time for class and Dr. Jiang, who was in charge of this course, had not arrived yet. The students were gathered in groups of three or four to chat, chattering about recent interesting stories and the ten-day examination.
As soon as they saw the Shen brothers, the students stopped chatting and surrounded the Shen brothers with smiles on their faces.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng were both confused.
Although we usually have a good relationship with each other, today the classmates were particularly enthusiastic, which was really incredible.
A student came over and asked, "When you two came here today, did you see the notice in the lobby? Did you know that the Imperial College will give us mooncakes?"
Before the Shen brothers could answer, the students around them started discussing at once.
"After all these years, this is the first time I've heard that the Imperial College would give mooncakes to students. When I first heard someone else talk about it, I thought I had heard it wrong."
"I thought it was just a lie and even went over to read the notice from beginning to end. I didn't expect it to be true!!"
"Okay, it's fine if we don't know, but how could Boyan and Zhongyu not know?"
Shen Kesi frowned slightly: "Distributing mooncakes? We came in a hurry and didn't see any notice."
Chen Keheng also said: "We rushed to the lecture hall as soon as we arrived, so we didn't have time to look at anything else. Is the Imperial College going to distribute mooncakes? What kind of mooncakes are they distributing?"
In fact, Shen Keheng was just asking casually and was not really interested.
He had already tasted the mooncakes made by Shen Huazheng at home, and he didn't think the mooncakes distributed by the Imperial College would be better than hers.
All the students were stunned when they heard this, as they did not expect that the Shen brothers did not know about this.
Someone started to explain: "This year, the Imperial College will distribute mooncakes to students. They are from Lianxiangzhai and Yipinlou. It is said that there are all kinds of flavors and styles."
Deep in thought: (oćā½ć)oā
I thought the mooncakes were made by the chefs in the cafeteria, but they were bought from Lianxiangzhai and Yipinlou. Zheng'er's mooncakes are not cheap. Does the Imperial College have so much money?
Chen Keheng: ($ _ $)
The Imperial College is going to give out mooncakes from Lianxiangzhai and Yipinlou to students. Zheng'er's mooncakes are actually being sold in the Imperial College! !
As expected of Zheng'er, so amazing~~
Someone else added: "Moreover, there are rules. Not only can all students receive mooncakes, but those who do well in the ten-day exam can also receive an extra one."
As soon as this was said, someone nearby lamented, "Oh, if I had known this would happen, I should have stayed up for several nights to memorize the contents of the textbook thoroughly, and I wouldn't have worried about failing the exam."
"Come on, no matter it's the ten-day exam, the monthly exam or the annual exam, you always rank in the top ten. How much better do you want to do? You will definitely get a share of the reward for this ten-day exam, so put your mind at ease."
The man's face turned red when he was confronted by his classmate, and he felt dissatisfied.
The top ten was certainly a good result, but he had always wanted to get into the top five, and he even dreamed of catching up with Shen Kesi who always topped the list.
However, these were all thoughts hidden in his heart, and he would never say them out loud in front of everyone.
Wei Zeduo noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and hurriedly changed the subject.
"I heard that it was Mo Jijiu who proposed distributing mooncakes to us, and he even paid for part of it out of his own pocket."
Wei Zeduo is the information go-to person in the Imperial College, and any news that comes out of his mouth is highly credible.
As soon as he said this, everyone's attention was instantly diverted.
"Really?? Mo Jijiu is so nice!! I am so moved that I am about to cry."
"No wonder all the students in the Imperial College can get mooncakes from Lianxiangzhai and Yipinlou this time. I remember that the dim sum there is not cheap."
"Although the previous Jijiu Gu was also very good, I still think that the new Jijiu Mo is more responsible. He is more sincere in his attitude towards the Imperial College and us."
"At first, I thought Mo Jijiu wouldn't stay in the Imperial College for long. But now it seems that he really wants to stay in the Imperial College."
"I have read many of Mo Jijiu's poetry and prose collections, his travel notes, and even bought his calligraphy collection. I only thought he was good at poetry and calligraphy. But when I listened to Mo Jijiu's lecture that time, I realized that he was a versatile talent."
"I also attended his lecture that time and benefited a lot from it. Mo Jijiu's speech was concise and clear, and every word was accurate without any redundant words."
Many students in the Imperial College thought that a great scholar like Mo Zhishan coming to the Imperial College to serve as the chief academic officer was just an excessive reward from the court.
It may not be long before he is transferred to another powerful department.
Who would have thought that when Mo Zhishan came to the Imperial College, he would personally take care of everything and actually participate in the lectures, not just for the sake of a false reputation.
Wei Zeduo also deeply shared the feelings of these students.
Although Mo Zhishan has been away from the court for many years, his reputation and influence remain unchanged, and he still has many connections in the court.
Like his uncle Wei Yu, Wei Zeduo did not expect that Mo Zhishan would eventually come to the Imperial College to serve as a chief academic officer.
Now it seems that it is not without reason that people all say that he is a man of both virtue and talent.
Wei Zeduo suddenly smiled at the Shen brothers, revealing his eight neat teeth. "Brother Boyan, Brother Zhongyu, in addition to thanking Mo Jijiu and the Imperial Academy, we also want to thank Princess Yinghua."
Shen Kesi & Shen Keheng: ???
What does this have to do with Zheng'er?
Others also found it strange and were about to ask, but then they heard Wei Zeduo say -
"The mooncakes that the Imperial College uses to reward students this time were provided free of charge by Yinghua County Lady. She didn't charge a penny. Moreover, the other mooncakes were also discounted, much cheaper than the market price."
The news was told to Wei Zeduo by his distant cousin who was a school principal.
Everyone:!!!
Therefore, the students who ranked high in the ten-day exam received rewards from Yinghua County Lady. The rest of the mooncakes were also discounted? ?
The owner of Yinghua County is so nice!!
They seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng, with strange light in their eyes.
Although Princess Yinghua provided mooncakes mostly out of kindness, it must also have something to do with the Shen brothers.
Woo woo woo, it turns out that getting closer to the Shen brothers does have benefits.
