Chapter 2453 Side Story: Mr. Shanju's Seal
When Shu Yu walked onto the bridge, she saw her senior brother Qiao opening the painting.
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly flashed through her mind.
The next moment, Gao Xuezi burst into laughter, "This is your painting? Everyone take a good look, what is this? Red and green, all balls."
Everyone crowded around to look, their expressions turning into suppressed laughter.
Senior Brother Qiao and Senior Brother Yan were silent for a moment when they saw this. They were thinking about how to explain when they suddenly heard two gasps.
"This chapter, this chapter..."
Chapter? What chapter?
Senior Brother Qiao couldn't help but take a look. The first seal he saw was the headmaster's, the second seal...
His eyes widened suddenly. Wasn't this Mr. Shanju's seal?
Why is Mr. Shanju's seal on it?
The high-achieving student noticed this as well and immediately questioned, "You're such a young girl, yet you've already engaged in such self-serving and fame-seeking activities. You even dare to forge Mr. Shanju's seal; aren't you afraid of being criticized if this gets out?"
"Shut up! You don't understand anything and yet you're cursing others. How dare you call yourself a scholar?" Senior Brother Yan immediately retorted.
"you……"
The student sneered, "Then ask me where this stamp came from?"
"This seal is definitely genuine." Senior Brother Qiao was very certain. Mianmian was still so young; she certainly wouldn't forge any seal. It was even less likely that the people around her would do it. Neither the headmaster nor the county princess were people who didn't know their place.
Therefore, this seal is definitely genuine.
Senior Brother Qiao squatted down again, suppressing his excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Mianmian, do you know Mr. Shanju?"
"What Mr. Mountain Dweller?"
Senior Brother Qiao pointed to Mr. Shanju's seal above, "Who stamped this seal?"
“Me?” Mianmian said proudly.
Senior Brother Qiao then asked, "So, where did you get this chapter from?"
“My father,” Mianmian said, puffing out her chest, “These two seals are in my father’s drawer.”
Ignoring her senior brother Qiao's shocked gaze, she said proudly, "Father said I can build whatever I want; he loves me the most."
Senior Brother Yan's hands were trembling slightly, and the others were even more astonished.
Someone asked, "Who is your father?"
“My father is the headmaster.”
Headmaster? What headmaster? Which headmaster is it?
etc.
Everyone looked at Senior Brother Qiao and Senior Brother Yan. If they remembered correctly, these two seemed to be students of Zhenglu Academy, and they had just called this girl "Junior Sister".
So, the "father" the little girl was talking about, the headmaster of Zhenglu Academy, is Meng Yunzheng?
What did they hear? There was Mr. Shanju's seal in Meng Yunzheng's drawer, and his daughter was allowed to use it as a toy?
They might suspect, like the student, that the girl had someone forge the seal for fun, but they would never suspect that Meng Yunzheng would forge the seal.
He was a legendary top scholar who passed the imperial examinations six times in a row but resolutely resigned from his official post; he was also the youngest headmaster who made a pledge to establish an academy and trained several Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in just three years.
Why would someone like that forge Mr. Shanju's seal? Is it necessary?
No need!!
Therefore, there is only one truth.
The girl's father, the headmaster of Zhenglu Academy, the top scholar who achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations four years ago, is none other than the renowned Mr. Shanju, whose paintings are worth a thousand gold pieces and who hasn't painted in several years!
