But judging from the old man's high demands, I'd better just shut up.
Later, Tu Yufan settled down here. The old man was named Zhu Xiaowei. Aunt Cao said that he had served as the Left Censor-in-Chief, but later resigned and lived alone. He had married once in his life, but had no children. Aunt Cao was unwilling to reveal anything else.
Zhu Xiaowei initially thought that he lacked spiritual energy, but he still worked hard. Later, he felt that his memory was extraordinary, so he paid more attention to him.
After a while, Xiang Chengting unexpectedly came here. He was wearing casual clothes and only brought two servants with him.
"Your Highness, you'd better not come over. His Majesty will be unhappy."
Xiang Chengting smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, I sent this to Brother Fan specially. I sneaked out of the palace secretly, and the emperor won't know."
Zhu Xiaowei blew his beard and glared: "Your Majesty, what is going on in the capital city that you don't know?"
Xiang Chengting changed the subject and said, "I wonder how knowledgeable Brother Yufan is?"
"He is so stupid that he can barely pass the exam next year."
"The teacher is a great scholar, and he has very high expectations for Brother Yufan. It is already quite good for him to qualify for the imperial examination."
Tu Yufan nodded secretly. Not bad, not bad. He didn't want to do any academic research. His goal was to take the imperial examination. A thorough study would take more than ten years.
Zhu Xiaowei looked at Tu Yufan's unhappy look and felt that he was wasting his talent. He was helpless for a moment and could only ask, "Your Highness, what has been involved in recently?"
"Yes, I can't postpone it again after I've postponed it once. This time it's about the flood in Cangzhou. I'm going to Cangzhou soon, so I came to see you, sir, and Brother Yufan."
"You must be careful and not act alone. Your Highness was too careless last time."
"It's also thanks to Brother Yufan for saving my life."
Zhu Xiaowei also secretly rejoiced that if the prince died, it would not be a pity even if Concubine Dun died a thousand times.
Seeing that they still had something to say, Tu Yufan left.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Tu Yufan opened it and saw a woman wearing plain clothes and no makeup.
I think he came to see Zhu Xiaowei and said, "Teacher is talking to someone, you can wait for a while."
The woman asked curiously: "Are you uncle's student?"
"yes."
Zhu Xiaowei didn't like his teacher at first, but later he accepted it reluctantly, but in the end he still performed the ceremony of becoming his disciple.
In this world, the relationship between master and disciple can be compared to that of a child.
Afterwards, the two fell into silence until Xiang Chengting and Zhu Xiaowei came out.
"His Royal Highness, good evening, uncle."
"It's Sangsang. Why are you here today?" When Zhu Xiaowei saw her, his brows instantly relaxed and his tone became intimate.
"Uncle, I have received the things you sent the day before yesterday. I came here today to thank you."
"You finally made it here, let's have dinner together, Yufan, you can come too."
The woman frowned slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.
Xiang Chengting suddenly winked at him, and Tu Yufan's expression froze.
"Uncle Zhu, I have something to discuss with Yufan. I will come to visit you again after I finish my business in Cangzhou."
Zhu Xiaowei was about to refuse, but Xiang Chengting said, "I know you can't hide anything from the emperor, but you are my teacher. How can I stay away from you just to avoid suspicion? I don't want to be a person like the emperor."
These words were a bit harsh, but luckily there were only Tu Yufan and that woman around, and they seemed to be trustworthy people.
Zhu Xiaowei sighed and let him go.
