Before Xu Yincheng left, the students of the county school held a farewell banquet for him.
Although no one believed he could become the top scholar in the provincial examination, everyone was absolutely convinced that Xu Yincheng could pass the county-level examination and achieve a good ranking.
At that time, the first-class scholar would probably not stay in the small county school of Yunyang County. The state school and prefectural school of Yunzhou would welcome him. After such a parting, it is very likely that they will never meet again.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone remarked with emotion: "It's hard to believe that three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, we were even encouraged to cause trouble for Brother Xia."
"Brother Xia is kind-hearted. Not only did he not hold a grudge against us, he also helped us write a calligraphy practice book in the official script!"
"That's right, that's right! I, Xue Jue, have never been one to submit to anyone. Now, emboldened by the wine, I'll say it here—Brother Xia Qingzhai, you are the person I admire most in my life! I will never forget your great kindness!"
Facing the drunken student with a flushed face, Tong Su smiled and declined, saying, "Brother Xue, you flatter me. It's nothing, not worth mentioning."
"It's no small matter! Yunyang County is small, and good calligraphy models are hard to find, let alone such excellent official script! I, Xue Jue, would like to boast that I think my writing is not bad. If it weren't for my terrible handwriting, I wouldn't have been able to pass the imperial examination for so long. It was only after I practiced the calligraphy you wrote for me that I finally passed the imperial examination last year!"
Tong Su simply smiled faintly and shook her head.
The gratitude she received was beyond her expectations. In fact, last year she had helped students write several calligraphy practice sheets, but her intention was merely to take advantage of them.
After Yao Jinrong's incident, although Tong Su proved her talent, the students still felt somewhat resentful towards her.
Tong Su had a sudden inspiration and offered to write some calligraphy models in the official script for the county school to help everyone practice their calligraphy.
Upon hearing this, the students were deeply moved and instantly regarded her as one of their own. The students were young and impetuous, and their moods were unpredictable. They had been disgusted with her before, but after just one post, they regarded her as a friend they would risk their lives for.
Writing posts is none of her business. Tongsu has always practiced calligraphy, she just uses better paper and writes neatly.
This Xue student was just like that. Although he passed the county-level examination, his ranking was not high, and neither the prefectural nor the county school took notice of him. So he continued to study at the county school, waiting to take the provincial examination next year to become a Juren.
After the farewell toast, most of the students were drunk. Someone tugged at Tong Su's sleeve and said, "Where...where is your wolf cub? It's really...it's strange, such a wolf, yet it listens to you so well, and every...every year it comes to see you..."
Tong Su chuckled lightly: "He's not here right now, he's in the capital."
"Then...the wolf is willing to leave you? I saw it before...when it came, it practically wanted to lie all over you...even when we went to school...it didn't want to let go..."
Tongsu was still smiling.
When Jin Wenting was mentioned, she couldn't help but shake her head.
This guy's possessiveness is practically blatant. When he's not around, it's fine, but when he is, any man can forget about getting close to her!
The wolf cub grew up and became a handsome, fierce, and irritable young wolf.
Jin Wenting probably knew he was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything nice. In his human form, he would infuriate people with his words, so it was only because he couldn't speak in his wolf form that he was well-behaved.
When he came before, there were a few times when he didn't want to get off Tongsu. When Tongsu carried him outside and people saw him, they thought he was a little puppy and didn't object; some even wanted to pat his head.
Then Jin Wenting bit him in one bite!
