Chapter 181 Gao Zhiyuan leaves the county school
Gao Zhiyuan scratched his head. He had already paid the tuition fee, and there was no way he would be stopped from studying in the county school just because of Young Master Zhu's matter.
But his classmates' attitude towards him is no longer the same as before.
All kinds of ridicule, mockery and difficulties made him dare not look up at them
I couldn't help but blame the Zhu family in my heart. Why did this happen at this time?
It would be ok to wait until he passes the imperial examination and then have something happen. By then he would be a scholar, and even if the Zhu family was no longer around, no one would dare to bully him like this.
Finally, what was supposed to come finally came.
The teacher called him out and said, "Mr. Gao, it is time to pay your tuition. You have already obtained the title of Tongsheng, so you can study in the county school, but the tuition fee cannot be the same as before. The tuition fee for the county school is two taels of silver per month, and one tael for food and lodging.
If you want to continue studying here, you must pay the fees according to the rules."
Gao Zhiyuan clenched his hands in his sleeves. Three taels of silver a month was definitely not something his mother could afford, and Xiaohui had no way of marrying into a wealthy family to support him.
But when he left Qingshi Academy, he looked down on the students there. If he went back, he would be laughed to death by them.
I have already read to this point, I can't give up halfway.
Just as I was thinking about it, two students came over.
"Gao Zhiyuan, you have average talent. You just passed the exam at this age. You shouldn't have come to the county school to study. You don't want to bring bad luck to us. You'd better go back to your hometown."
"that is."
The teacher said coldly, "You two students, please do not be rude. Have you forgotten what I taught you?"
The two men bowed and turned away.
Gao Zhiyuan just felt his face burning. Even if he managed to stay in the county school, he would still be bullied by this group of people.
He couldn't stand that kind of look and was tormented.
If he continues to stay, he won't be able to concentrate on his studies, so he might as well go back.
Having made the decision, he asked his teacher to help him withdraw from school and went to the dormitory to pack his things.
The two students came to his door.
One of them said, "Student Gao, the last time I saw your wife, I felt that she looked familiar, but I didn't remember her at the time. After thinking about it for a few days, I remembered that she was the woman who climbed into the bed of the young master of the Qin Mansion."
Gao Zhiyuan paused and looked at the two of them in disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? I have some dealings with the young master of the Qin Mansion. I still remember that when I went to the Qin Mansion that year, I saw this girl trying to get close to the young master Qin for various reasons.
That's why I have some impression of her. I still remember that woman's name was quite nice, it seemed to be...Liu Ruyun.
This matter was widely spread at the time. It was not only the maidservant who was driven out of the Qin Mansion that day, but also her aunt who was the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion. What was the housekeeper's surname? Oh, her surname was Lin. "
Gao Zhiyuan's face turned pale. He had never told his classmates his wife's name, so naturally these two people didn't know.
Liu Ruyun's maternal family also happened to have the surname Lin. I seemed to have heard before that she had an aunt who worked as a housekeeper in a wealthy family in the county town.
So saying that she was engaged at that time was just an excuse to reject him.
Later, she failed to curry favor with Young Master Qin and hid at home for a long time. She was too old to talk about marriage, but when she saw that I had passed the examination and thought that I could become an official in the future, she chose to marry me?
If that's the case, then what's the point of all the times I've been thinking about her and treating her like the bright moon in the sky?
So, Yunniang, the apple of his eye, failed in her attempt to marry into a wealthy family and chose him as her scapegoat?
He was stunned for a long time, and finally left the academy in a daze.
Kaoshan Village
The news from the county has not yet reached the village.
Gao Conghui has been feeling sleepy lately and has to take a nap in the afternoon. This time he slept until the sun was setting.
Dinner was ready, and I called her twice before she went out.
At the dinner table, Ding Chunhong said, "I don't know what the Qian family in town did wrong. All their shops were closed, and Ruifulou was also closed. With this restaurant closed, Zuixianju's business has become even more prosperous."
"I heard from my father that he was investigated because he was rich and unkind." Liu Ruyun sighed.
My father was a manager in Mr. Qian's shop. Now, he lost his job.
"Humph, you earn so much money but still do bad things. You deserve to be caught. However, this has nothing to do with us." Mrs. Cui asked, "Hui, did Master Zhu say when he would get engaged?"
"His mother hasn't agreed yet. Let's wait a little longer." Gao Conghui was also annoyed. It was useless to be angry at Zhu Guangyao. He had not been able to convince Mrs. Zhu for such a long time.
Before I knew it, I had already eaten two bowls of brown rice porridge and a coarse flour pancake.
Mrs. Cui was curious. Her daughter had become picky about food ever since she met Young Master Zhu. She looked down upon the food at home and would put it down after eating just a few bites. Why was she not so picky about food these days and was eating so much?
An idea came to her mind and her heart skipped a beat.
He quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, waited for Gao Conghui to finish eating, and then took her back to the house.
Gao Conghui was dissatisfied: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Cui stared at her and asked, "Xiaohui, mother wants to ask you, have you had your period this month?"
Gao Conghui shook his head: "No, but I'm never sure, so it's normal to postpone it for two days."
"You've been feeling sleepy lately and you've been eating so much. This is just like your pregnant sister-in-law. Haven't you noticed it at all?"
Gao Conghui's eyebrows jumped, and then she touched her belly, feeling ecstatic.
If they have a child, Zhu Guangyao must marry her.
She nodded: "It seems to be the same as my sister-in-law."
"Oh, what should I do? You are pregnant before you even get married. If people find out, your reputation will be ruined."
Gao Conghui didn't care, she smiled and said: "Mom, I am pregnant with the grandson of their Zhu family. With this child, it will be easier for Master Zhu to persuade his mother to agree.
I will go to the county town tomorrow and go to the clinic to check the pulse. If it is confirmed to be true, I will go to find Master Zhu. For the sake of the child, we should get married as soon as possible. "
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she was delighted. Yes, when her daughter gets married, what does it matter if others know that she was pregnant before the wedding? Who dares to say anything bad about the young lady of the official family?
The two were just feeling happy when they heard Liu Ruyun's surprised voice: "Husband, why are you back at this time?"
Mrs. Cui and Gao Conghui walked out with a puzzled look on their faces.
"Yuan, why are you back? Didn't you just take a rest two days ago?"
Gao Zhiyuan threw down the box and bag in his hand and looked at Liu Ruyun. Thinking of what the student said, his eyes turned red. He suddenly shook off his hand and asked, "Did your aunt work as a housekeeper in the Qin Mansion? How many days have you lived in the Qin Mansion?"
Liu Ruyun's heart skipped a beat, and she shook her head subconsciously: "My aunt has never stayed in the Qin Mansion. Did someone tell you something? How can you believe what others say?"
Gao Zhiyuan stared at her coldly: "Last time I asked you how you knew Young Master Qin, and you said that it was because the county school held a poetry gathering and you and your father went to participate and met Young Master Qin. I have inquired about it. Only students can participate in poetry gatherings held by the academy. Family members are not allowed to participate. You didn't tell the truth."
"I..." Liu Ruyun's heart jumped to her throat. She said, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I met him once when I was buying cloth at the Qin family's cloth shop. I heard the people in the cloth shop call him Young Master..."
