Chapter 107 Ah Su, Why Do You Treat Me Like a Child?
At this time, Jiusu had already followed him into the academy, attracting quite a few people to watch. Fang Yu was popular, and many people asked him about it. He just politely said, "I'm a distinguished guest of my parents, and I'm here to see the dean."
When the students saw that there was no melon to eat, they left.
Jiusu finally understood what it meant that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked as well. The shopkeeper Fang and his wife were of good character, and Fang Yu was also very polite. The shopkeeper Qi was cruel and vicious, and Qi Yaer was also disgusting. She stood under the corridor and waited.
Soon, Fang Yu came out with a smile.
"Miss Jiu, the dean asks you to come in."
"Thank you for your help." Jiusu watched Fang Yu leave. She knocked on the door politely and walked in after hearing the answer. In her hand was a cloth bag containing fifteen hardcover martial arts novels. Ouch, her hand hurt. "Good afternoon, Dean."
The novel way of greeting made the dean slightly stunned.
He smiled and stroked his long beard. "Fang Yu has already introduced you to me. Miss, do you have any relatives studying at the academy? However, we have requirements here. Three or two per year. Students are required to behave well and not cause trouble. The teacher is strict and the punishment is severe."
Jiusu pursed his lips and said, "Money is not a problem. He has good character too. A strict teacher can produce a good student. But, something happened to his family and he is now a fugitive."
As soon as the dean mentioned the fugitive, he immediately thought of who it was.
His expression visibly faded. He took a sip of tea and said politely, "It's like this. Our dynasty's laws stipulate that people who have broken the law cannot take the exam. Moreover, if you are a fugitive, I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations."
Jiusu had already expected this and smiled slightly.
"Dean, the rules prohibit taking the exam, but they don't prohibit admission, right? Besides, learning enriches the spirit and improves personal qualities. Convicts are also human beings, right?"
"Well, there is indeed no rule, but others will definitely not agree with his admission," said the dean.
Jiusu said, "A gentleman should treat others with a normal heart. Dean, I've heard that it won't be long before Jiang Jing's status is restored and he will be pardoned by the court. Oh, by the way, I happened to get a set of books. I'm not well-educated and don't understand the profound meaning of them. Thinking of Dean Lan's rich experience and erudition, I brought them to you."
He took out a set of hardcover books from the bag.
These are fifteen martial arts novels.
There is still plastic wrap outside and it has never been opened.
It was hard for a scholar to refuse such a gift. Dean Lan had read many books, but had never seen such a book before. He was immediately attracted to it. "What kind of book is this? How come I have never seen it before?"
A smile flashed in Jiusu's eyes.
The fish took the bait. "This is a martial arts novel. It has a lot of profound meaning. This is the only one available at the moment."
Dean Lan was a connoisseur of the book. He felt the book's exquisite texture and sighed, "To be honest, I haven't been interested in it for a long time. Are you sure Jiang Jing can regain his identity?"
Jiusu took out a can of fine salt.
This is a decisive blow.
"I have asked the prince to deliver this item to the palace."
"This is..." Dean Lan poured it into his palm and tasted it. It was salty. "Is it salt?!"
After receiving Jiusu's affirmation, he nodded affirmatively. Salt is a national treasure, let alone something so delicious and fine. Jiang Jing's status as an exile will be relieved sooner or later.
Jiusu assured: "When he comes to the academy, he will definitely abide by the rules and regulations. He is very hardworking and all he needs is the palace examination."
Dean Lan tapped the table with his fingers thoughtfully.
In the thirty years since Huating Academy was founded, it has only produced one top scholar, and that was a long time ago. After a moment, he nodded.
"Then let him come tomorrow."
"Thank you, Dean!" Jiusu bowed and happily left with the empty bag.
As soon as the people left, Dean Lan couldn't wait to open the books. In his excitement, a book fell to the ground and the corner of the book was hit. "Oh, how could I be so careless!"
Outside the door, the students had already finished their meal.
They have an hour to ask the teacher questions they don't understand.
Qian Yuanming murmured, "Dean, why didn't you open the door? Are you feeling unwell?"
It was already dark. "Yeah, that's strange. The teacher should be resting at this time, so why is the light still on?" Fang Yu asked curiously.
At this time, Dean Lan was holding a half-read book and had completely forgotten the time.
He yawned and was about to rest, but found that the sky was falling... No, it was dawn, but for him, this was indeed news that the sky was falling.
"Well, let's watch it for a while."
“…”
Last night, Jiusu and Jiang Jing talked until very late. Jiang Jing didn't want to let her down. The dean was once an official in the court and the top scholar thirty years ago. He also had the opportunity to ask his predecessors for advice.
The carriage stopped.
Jiusu raised her hand to lift the curtain, and when she saw the word "Academy", she felt a strong reluctance in her heart. She took out her purse, counted the silver, and put it in his hand.
"Have you packed everything?"
"I've got it." Jiang Jing raised his hand and rubbed her face, "Don't worry..."
Suddenly, the person was caught up in his words, sadness welled up in her throat, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of a word of comfort.
"Did you bring your umbrella and raincoat?"
"I brought it."
"Don't drink too much coffee. It's not good for your health, okay?"
"Don't worry, I have nothing else to do except doing homework and thinking about you, so I won't be tired."
She asked, and he answered.
Jiusu pushed the man against the wall of the car, lowered her eyes, looked at his thin lips, and slowly approached. After a moment, her eyes were shining and she steadied her breathing.
"If you don't have enough money, ask someone to tell me. We have a lot of friends, so we won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we shouldn't be afraid of it either. Don't be embarrassed."
"I've noted it all down." Jiang Jing was still not satisfied and smiled indulgently, "A Su, why do you treat me like a child?"
Jiusu chuckled.
The two men got off the carriage. There were already two people waiting at the door. They were Qian Yuanming and Fang Yu. They were both acquaintances, and they came forward with a smile.
"Brother Jiang, we're here to pick you up."
"Thank you." Jiang Jing clasped his fists. He understood that both Mr. Qian and Mr. Fang were arranged by Asu. He was touched.
There was a slight redness in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
"Asu, be careful on the way back."
Jiusu hugged him gently and encouraged him, "Study hard, I will come to see you often."
In fact, she didn't dare to say that all her worries came from her status. Here, she could clearly feel the huge gap between the rich and the poor. Here, the highest official was Chen Zhao, and they had already fallen out.
If Chen Zhao disregarded his reputation, killing them would be as easy as killing an ant.
Similarly, her status and position were constantly rising, so Chen Zhao did not dare to act rashly.
In the academy, no one would treat Jiang Jing well like those two good friends. They would target and look down on Jiang Jing.
Jiusu put his hands together.
"God of Wealth, may I become rich and powerful, and may Jiang Jing become a high-ranking official!"

Um?
Why in Wutie County?
The dormitories in the academy have different specifications, and are divided into rooms for eight, six, four, and two people according to the price. The rooms for two people are no longer available, so Jiang Jing lives in a room for four people.
I just happen to live with Qian Yuanming.
Fang Yu helped him put down his luggage and said, "I'm in the double room up front. If you need anything, come to me. Yuan Ming, Brother Jiang just got here, so please take good care of him."
"Okay, Brother Fang." Qian Yuanming is the youngest, but also the most steady.
