Chapter 70 Sending You a Divination
Ever since Jiujiu said last time that Jiang Yuming would become the national teacher, the two brothers of the Su family have become more cautious.
According to their observations, people with special physical constitutions like Jiang Yuming must be exceptionally gifted, just like those described in storybooks. His current misfortune is simply a matter of time before his time comes. When the opportunity arises, he will surely soar to great heights and roam the world.
They have great confidence in their brothers!
The bad thing is that the teacher in the academy has lost confidence.
Jiang Yuming was dejected, and the joy he felt when he first saw Qiuqiu gradually faded.
"Do your methods really work?"
The academy also has its own assessment system. Every day after the spring imperial examinations, the academy holds its own exam, and those who fail will be expelled. Jiang Yuming passed his first year without incident, but not today!
"At this point, we have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless. Do you think there's a better way?"
Su Jingwen struggled to hold Jiujiu in his arms, helplessly asking. Jiujiu's face flushed as she met his probing gaze. "Don't say it, don't say it!"
He is still your brother after all, give him some face!
Jiujiu was so anxious that she grabbed Su Jingwen's hair and told them to hurry up. This was the only bit of fun she had in the day, and she was so anxious.
However, she overlooked the fact that she was now a lucky charm, which made her third brother's scalp tingle.
"Hiss! Jiji, you're so strong now!"
Chuchu sheepishly withdrew her hand, then immediately declared righteously, "[Don't blame Chuchu, you guys were the ones keeping us in suspense.]"
When it comes to a man's dignity, Su Jingwen ignored the little round face that was practically pressed against his own and beckoned to Jiang Yuming with his finger: "The Imperial Preceptor has divine power in heaven and earth, he can definitely cure your old ailment!"
Which child in the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't know how powerful the Grand Preceptor was? In their minds, the Grand Preceptor, who had already reached the Divine Glory Realm, was omnipotent.
In the past, I didn’t dare to blaspheme the national teacher, but now I am forced to do so by the situation.
Jiang Yuming shrank his neck, looking dejected: "I just hope my dad won't break my legs when he finds out!"
It's often said that when people are down on their luck, even drinking cold water will cause them to choke on it, and that's certainly true. He choked on his water and missed his exam, and by the time he was discovered, he was forced to submit a blank paper.
After hanging himself in front of the dean's door in the middle of the night and hanging himself in front of his father's room at home, his two good brothers chose to bring him here to change his fate.
He never expected that the Imperial Preceptor would actually let them in, and that they would even meet Qiuqiu. Today is truly his lucky day!
He couldn't see any of the amused expressions on Chiu Chiu's face!
As a frequent visitor to the palace, Chiu Chiu had little interest in the beautiful mansion, but she was happy just thinking about the handsome uncle who had praised her last time.
She also wants to hear praise!
The attendant led them to the courtyard, where tea and snacks had been prepared, but Yue Wen was nowhere to be seen.
The Imperial Master's Mansion was too mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, so Jiujiu and his group did not dare to ask too many questions. They just sat when they were told to sit and ate when they were told to eat.
For the first time, the attendant felt that what the Imperial Master said was incorrect. These young masters and young ladies were obviously easy to serve and not picky at all. They even ate the snacks made by the Imperial Master. It turned out that the people of the Great Zhou always kept the words of hard work and perseverance in mind!
Everyone who tasted the snacks, except for Chiu Chiu, wondered: Could this be the latest elixir concocted by the Imperial Preceptor?
The Imperial Master is indeed thoughtful. Even the pills are presented in the form of snacks!
Su Xiucheng secretly pinched a little crumb and held it to Qiuqiu's lips. Good things must be shared with his sister. What if it's some kind of magic pill that can prolong life?
"Chirp chirp, eat quickly!"
Jiujiu was already craving the food after watching them wolf it down. From their expressions, she couldn't tell what it tasted like. She was deeply touched to see that Fourth Brother still took the time to think of her.
Fourth Brother is still the best!
Although Chiu Chiu can't eat solid food, she can still lick up crumbs of snacks.
One bite...
[Ugh!]
[Toxic!]
Chiu Chiu's eyes were lifeless, and she felt as if some strange substance was constantly attacking her mouth.
Why are the mung bean cakes so spicy? Are they going to catch fire?
"Is this a mung bean cake?" Holding up half of the strangely shaped pastry, Su Xiucheng felt that he had never eaten such a uniquely flavored mung bean cake in his life.
He thought the burning sensation in his mouth was the unique secret of the elixir.
No one told him that the pastries from the Imperial Master’s Mansion were poisonous!
Are they planning to lure them all in and poison them?
"Chirp, spit it out quickly!"
Su Xiucheng didn't care about anything else and went up to pry open Qiuqiu's lips.
With one hand, she pinched the little round face, squeezing the bright red little mouth into a goldfish mouth, while with the other hand, she was about to forcefully gouge into the other person's throat.
Jiujiu resisted and leaned back, waving his little hands around.
That's it, that's it. That tiny bit of poison wouldn't kill me!
Actually, there are only tiny bits of residue that melt in your mouth. If it weren't so awful, even I wouldn't be able to taste it.
That's why they detained me; otherwise, I would have really thrown up.
Just when a few children were wondering if they would be poisoned to death here, Yue Wen finally arrived.
"Everyone has been waiting. How are the snacks?"
They were too young and not qualified to accompany their family elders to worship during sacrifices. Yue Wen did not appear often, so they did not know that the man in front of them, who was old enough to be their grandfather but looked younger than their father, was the National Master Yue Wen.
Jiujiu, the only one who knew the truth, felt a little uncomfortable in her throat and became withdrawn.
Su Xiucheng mustered his courage and asked him, "Are these the refreshments served to guests at your Imperial Preceptor's residence?"
When Yue heard from his servant that the guest had eaten all his snacks, he was so happy that he hurried to see who his confidant was. Seeing the two empty plates, he really thought his cooking skills had improved.
Yuewen nodded: "That's right, this was made by me... by our Imperial Advisor!"
The words Su Xiucheng wanted to complain about were stuck in his throat and he didn't say them out.
He is already eight years old, not a child like Jiujiu who is only a few months old and does not understand the ways of the world. So he also needs to learn the flattery of adults.
His eyes were filled with tears because he had great respect for the Imperial Master: "Delicious! Very delicious!"
At this moment, Su Jingwen admitted defeat. It turned out that he was no longer the one who talked the most nonsense in the family!
Chiu Chiu: [Fourth Brother has really endured too much.]
Yue Wen, following his master's orders, descended the mountain to await his destined partner. After decades of waiting, he saw no one destined to be with the nation. Life was dull, and he couldn't imitate the toad's critique of humans, so he could only cook and create small desserts.
Unfortunately, no one in this world can understand his good intentions of incorporating the flavors of life into food.
With his consistent efforts over the years, he not only met two people with unique destinies, but also met someone who understood him.
Yue Wen sighed, "Whoever eats the most, I will give him a divination today."
Without hesitation, several people unanimously pushed Jiang Yuming out: "Him!"
Jiang Yuming scratched his head, "It seems to be me."
He has a big appetite; two bites a day is no problem for him. It wasn't very tasty, but that didn't bother him.
Because he will swallow it whole.
Chirping wistfully: [So it turns out there are advantages to eating a lot in this world!]
She can be swallowed alive by the abyss's huge mouth!
