5 I am a dandy prince
◎Not a great writer◎
On the tenth day, everyone in the Marquis's Mansion was busy.
Today, Yi Baiyu, the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, is going to Songzhu Academy to attend school.
Madam An Lanhui got up early and began to pack the things that Bai Yu was going to take with him.
The Marquis of Anping took Bai Yu by the hand and began to instruct her in detail: "Yu'er, you must study hard in the academy and don't be like before."
"I know, Dad. You've told me eight hundred times." Bai Yu looked at the teacup in his hand with empty eyes and answered nonchalantly. In his heart, he kept thinking about the book he wrote, "How to Become a Dandy", which he couldn't find anywhere.
"As long as you can remember it, it won't be too much for your father to say it a thousand times!" Looking at Bai Yu, whose mind was obviously not here, Anping Hou shook his head and sighed.
"Master, Madam sent a message saying that all the luggage has been packed." The maid came in to report.
"Let's go, Yu'er. Today is your first day of school. Don't be late."
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Bai Yu was so bored that she couldn't help but fell asleep.
"Yu'er, we're here." Marquis Anping woke Bai Yu up.
The two got off the car, and the old man who was waiting at the entrance of the academy came forward and said, "I, Zheng Qiuren, have met the Marquis of Anping."
"Sir, please stand up quickly." Marquis Anping hurriedly helped the old gentleman up.
"Jixiang, Ping'an, you guys take the prince's luggage to the school." Zheng Qiuren said to the two men dressed as scholars behind him.
“Yes, teacher.”
"Master, please give us your luggage." The two men approached Bai Yu and smiled innocently.
"Oh, okay."
Looking at the two men, Anping Hou asked in confusion: "Who are those two?"
"My two useless disciples are extremely stupid and only have enough strength to look at. Please forgive me, Marquis Anping."
"There, there, your footwork is steady and your internal strength is profound. I think you two will definitely have a place in the martial arts world in the future."
"I guess this is the prince." Zheng Qiuren stroked his beard, nodded frequently, and said to Anping Hou with a smile: "When General Xie told me about him, he was full of praise. Now that I see him today, he is indeed a handsome man."
Bai Yu was a little stunned when he heard this. No wonder Songzhu Academy would accept him. General Xie, you are not telling the truth.
He had no idea that after his father saw the book he wrote, "How to Be a Dandy", he immediately told General Xie about it, and it was General Xie who impressed Zheng Qiuren with this book and recommended him to the school.
"Haha, thank you very much, sir. I hope you can discipline my son in the future."
"Marquis Anping, there is no need to be polite. Teaching and imparting knowledge is the responsibility of a teacher. Moreover, it is an honor for me to teach the prince, who is at such a level."
My God! People with intellectual talents are different. If you don’t know me, you might think I’m some rare genius. Bai Yu was complaining in his heart.
"Yu'er, just study here with peace of mind. I'll be leaving first."
"Dad, don't worry!" I definitely won't feel at ease.
"The school dormitory is here, please." Zheng Qiuren said.
At this time, on the other side, Jixiang and Ping'an, who arrived at the school first, met Prince Yi Yue'an who was walking over with a bag on his back.
The two knew the prince who had studied here before, and they quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Your Highness."
"Since we have entered the academy, you and I are both students. There is no need to be polite. Just call me Brother Yi. I remember that you are Mr. Zheng's disciples, come on!"
"Yes."
Seeing two people, one of whom was carrying a large piece of luggage, Yi Yuean's eyes flashed with curiosity and asked, "Is this luggage Mr. Zheng's?"
"This luggage belongs to Yi Baiyu, the son of Marquis Anping. He just entered school today and asked us two to help him move the luggage." Jixiang said.
Ping An nodded aside.
Yi Yuean laughed angrily and said, "Now that we are in the academy, we are all students. Do you think I am treating you as my subordinates?"
"Brother Yi, you don't know that Yi Baiyu, the son of Marquis Anping, is a well-known playboy in the capital, and we dare not provoke him..." Jixiang said.
"Jixiang, don't talk nonsense." Ping An spoke up to stop him.
"It's okay, let him talk. This guy is showing off here. You guys go first! Let me meet him for a while."
"Then Brother Yi, we will take our leave first."
As they passed each other, the smiles of the two people behind them faded, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.
Yi Yuean walked forward knowing nothing, ready to meet the son of Marquis Anping.
After passing a small path lined with bamboos, Bai Yu and his companion finally arrived at the school.
"Zhi-yo-yo" the bamboo wooden door made a sound.
"Sir, this is your room. The servants in the yard have already prepared the bedding."
The door opened, Yi Yuean was sitting in the middle of the room drinking tea, and when he saw the two of them coming, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Zheng, long time no see, and here you are..."
"I've met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is the person who came today..." Zheng Qiuren was about to introduce him to Yi Yuean.
"Sir, no need. I know Yi Baiyu, the son of Marquis Anping, right?" Although he was talking to Zheng Qiuren, Yi Yuean's eyes were always fixed on Baiyu.
"Bai Yu has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." It was the first time Bai Yu saw the Crown Prince of this world and she felt a little curious. She looked at him for a few times. He had a handsome face and a graceful figure. Hmm... he was a little inferior to her.
When it comes to handsomeness, I won't lose.
"Before coming here, I made some inquiries. You are well-known in the capital. Why did you come to Songzhu Academy?"
"Your Highness, this decision was made after considering many factors. The Crown Prince is a man of great talent." Zheng Qiuren bowed.
"I know you have concerns, sir, but we must take care of the reputation of Songzhu Academy in its later years. If it gets out, it will just add to the jokes. I heard that an exam was held today. This brother is really talented. Why not give it a try?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has just... today..."
"I will take part in this exam." Yi Baiyu stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two for a long time. He was confused, but he understood the general meaning. He just felt that the prince himself was not worthy of entering the school. If he hadn't said it earlier, I wouldn't have thought much about it.
But you can go and take the exam. If you write something nonsense, it will be evidence of your ignorance and your dissolute life.
"At 3 p.m., Zhusong Hall," said the prince, and then turned to Zheng Qiuren and bowed, saying, "See you later, Mr. Zheng." After saying that, he left.
"Your Highness, you may not know that this exam is presided over and the test questions are set by His Majesty himself. But I think with your talent, you will be able to win the first place in one go." Zheng Qiuren said, without any teasing in his tone.
Bai Yu was confused and could only nod, thinking, is this old man mocking me? Or is he mocking me?
After saying goodbye to Zheng Qiuren, Bai Yu did not pack the rest of her luggage. She fell on the bed and stared at the curtains in a daze.
I have been in the ancient world for some time, and I have become more and more skilled in playing the role of a dandy young man.
We came to a new place today. Is it equivalent to changing the map in the game?
Ah...the mission completion rating ranges from E to S, so this time it should be A or above, right?
I saw seniors in the mission department forum complaining that the missions were difficult to do, but this is not that difficult.
Alas, maybe they are not as talented as me.
Hahahahahahaha... thinking about it, Bai Yu laughed out loud, ah, I am really awesome.
While Bai Yu was indulging in his daydreams, on the other side, in a house located in a remote area of the academy.
"We are lucky. We were planning to meet the prince, but we ran into him on the way." The person who said this was Ping An, one of Zheng Qiuren's two disciples. He walked to the table with a teapot and poured tea for Ping An.
"Yeah, I originally wanted to bring the matter to his attention, but I didn't expect to run into him like this, and get it without any effort." Jixiang took the tea and took a sip.
"We begged that old man for so many years to let him take us into Songzhu Academy, but after all this time he only gave us the status of nominal disciples. He turned around and recommended Yi Baiyu, the son of Marquis Anping, to enroll." Jixiang said angrily, throwing the teacup heavily on the table.
"Yi Baiyu is an uneducated and unskilled young man. How can he be admitted to Songzhu Academy?" Ping An said, "Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince vent this evil for us!"
"And there's Zheng Qiuren. We respected him a lot in the past, but we didn't expect that he wasn't as innocent as he seemed. He must have accepted bribes from others." Jixiang said.
The two discussed for a long time until Ping An spoke up, "There is an exam at the Zhusong Hall at 3 p.m. Zheng Qiuren asked us to go over and help this morning."
"This old man keeps bothering us day after day." Jixiang became angry again.
"Are you still going?" Ping An asked.
"Of course I have to go. I'll help out and get paid well." Jixiang immediately stood up and tidied himself.
"This academy has only this advantage. The work is not in vain and you can get money." Ping An followed closely and started to pack up.
At 3 p.m., in Zhusong Hall.
Twenty-six new students who had just entered the school this year, plus the crown prince who was specially selected by the emperor to take the exam and Bai Yu who volunteered, a total of twenty-eight candidates, sat on chairs, waiting for the test questions to be distributed.
Three examiners sat in the front.
In the inner room of Zhusong Hall, the emperor and the dean of Songzhu Academy were playing chess leisurely.
"The time has come. The exam begins."
Several students who came to work distributed the test papers to the candidates, and the words "auspiciousness" and "peace" were among them.
Seeing the white jade among them, they were stunned.
After distributing the test papers, several people left the examination room. Jixiang and Ping'an ran to the corner, talking in a low voice.
"Why is Yi Baiyu here to take the exam?" Jixiang asked.
"I don't know, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did something. But we don't need to do anything this time. His true colors will be revealed after this exam." Ping An said with a smile.
"It's going to be interesting to see how Zheng Qiuren will defend himself." Jixiang said, "Recommending an unlearned and unskilled playboy to enter the school."
"What are you doing there?" A voice came from behind them, and both of them were startled.
"Hello, Senior Brother Xie." The two of them turned around and saluted hurriedly.
"Don't stand here, go and boil some hot water, make a pot of tea and bring it inside." The person who came was Xie Mingxuan. He had nothing to do today and was pulled over by his colleagues to help.
"Yes, we'll go now."
