Chapter 150 I am a prince, not the king of hell
Huo Junyu can also be considered a young genius.
In the early years, although his family was not rich in Juzhou, they had some small assets of land.
He was smart since he was young, so his father wanted to send him to school.
After only two years of study, he passed the examination to become a student. He was only ten years old that year.
Tongsheng are not uncommon, but a ten-year-old Tongsheng is a rarity.
For a time, the entire Juzhou City knew his name, Huo Junyu. The prefect at that time even met him in person and wanted to take him as his disciple.
But he was young and had achieved fame at a young age. For a while, he was a little arrogant and actually rejected the governor's kindness.
Although the prefect did not pursue the matter, he never gave any convenience to the magistrate again.
But he had real talent. After five years of hard study in school, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar at the age of fifteen.
This caused a sensation at the time. Many wealthy families and officials in Juzhou wanted to marry their daughters to him. During that period, the door of his house was really trampled upon.
Among them, a family named Wang was the craziest.
This was because other families were looking for marriage partners for their daughters, but in his family, the girl from the Wang family had fallen in love with Huo Junyu and was eager to marry him.
Huo Junyu only wanted to study and didn't want to get married, so he refused.
Unexpectedly, the girl from the Wang family became furious and scolded Huo Jun for being ungrateful. She immediately ordered the guards behind her to step forward and snatch the person away.
In a panic to protect him, Huo Junyu's father was pushed by someone and fell on a large rock, becoming a living dead.
In order to treat Huo's father, Huo Junyu sold his house and land, but in the end he was unable to save him.
Before his death, Huo's father's last wish was for Huo Junyu to continue taking the imperial examinations and bring honor to the family.
In order to fulfill Huo's father's last wish, Huo's mother worked hard to earn money for Huo Junyu to study and take the imperial examinations.
Huo Junyu also continued to study hard, but for some reason, he had taken three exams in the past ten years, and each time he missed due to various reasons. Either he had diarrhea the day before the exam, or the exam paper disappeared inexplicably.
The last time, he was almost involved in cheating in the imperial examination.
After ten years of struggle, Huo's mother's eyesight had gone blind and her health had deteriorated. He decided not to take the imperial examinations anymore and planned to open a private school.
But even though the private school opened, no one sent their children there.
Later, someone couldn't stand it anymore and pointed out that all this was ordered by Miss Wang.
He immediately went to find Miss Wang to argue.
Miss Wang got married a few years ago, but she was unlucky. Her husband died just a few years after they got married. Now she lives alone with two children and a large inheritance.
And she blamed all of this on Huo Junyu. If he hadn't rejected her back then, how could she have suffered so much at such a young age?
Seeing Huo Junyu coming to him angrily and seeing that he looked even worse than ten years ago, his mind suddenly became active again.
He proposed that Huo Junyu marry her, and she would not only stop organizing his imperial examinations, but would also give him all of her late husband's inheritance to help him ascend to a high position.
Huo Junyu refused again and made a bold statement that even if he remained single in his life, he would never marry a girl from the Wang family.
This sentence completely annoyed Miss Wang.
Due to her interference, Huo Junyu not only lost the ability to run his private school, but also could not find a job in the city. She even caused her married sister to be divorced by her husband.
After knowing this, Principal Min felt extremely sorry for this junior whom he once had the highest hopes for, so he wrote a letter of recommendation and asked him to come to Gu Jiayue.
Even if one rode at full speed, Taohua Village would still take a day to reach Juzhou. Even if the Wang family was powerful, they were still in Juzhou. They shouldn't be able to cause trouble for Taohua Village anytime soon.
After listening to what Huo Junyu said, Gu Jiayue felt overwhelmed. This old man Min was really going to cause trouble for her.
Although the Wang family is just an ordinary merchant family, Miss Wang’s late husband’s family is the largest grain merchant in Juzhou!
Since ancient times, who has been able to do grain business and who has not?
It would have been fine if Miss Wang had stopped when she saw Huo Junyu was gone, but looking at her behavior, she has been targeting someone for ten years just because he rejected her feelings, and even indirectly killed that person's father. It is clear that she is not a good person.
If we accept Huo Junyu, the troubles in the future will obviously increase.
But he is really knowledgeable and is willing to accept her educational philosophy.
She couldn't make a decision for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Yao, who had been following Jiang Luli, came over and handed Gu Jiayue a piece of paper. "Master Gu, this is something my son asked me to give you."
When they were out and about, Lu Yao usually called Jiang Luli "Young Master".
Gu Jiayue unfolded the letter, which contained only two sentences: ——In exchange for the method of making charcoal pencils, I will help you solve this problem of the Wang family.
Gu Jiayue narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Yao beside her. How did Jiang Luli know about Huo Junyu and the Yuwang family?
Lu Yao lowered his head, his eyes on his nose, and his nose on his heart.
He was just a guard, he knew nothing, and he didn't know that his prince was also squatting in the bushes eavesdropping.
Gu Jiayue already had a plan in mind, and now someone was willing to help solve the problem, which was the best thing. "Go tell your master that I agree."
After getting the answer, Lu Yao bowed and left.
Gu Jiayue looked at the anxious Huo Junyu. "Mr. Huo, just stay here and relax. I won't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid if trouble comes my way."
At worst, we can just close the shop and let Jiang Luli go.
With his status, if he really shows his ability, few people will give him face.
Not giving him face is not giving face to the emperor!
Who dares?
Huo Junyu didn't expect Gu Jiayue to agree. He was delighted and ready to bow.
Gu Jiayue could only stand up and return the greeting helplessly. "Mr. Huo, please stay in this small courtyard for the time being. Then I will let Fusheng take you to choose a place you like so that you can build a courtyard."
Huo Junyu's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and he choked up a bit as he said, "Thank you, Headmaster Gu, for taking me in. Don't worry, I will do my best to teach the children in the academy."
Gu Jiayue nodded. "Okay, I naturally trust Master Huo's ability. Master Huo, would you like to bring his mother, Sister He, over? It's probably unsafe for them to stay in Juzhou like this."
Huo Junyu looked at Gu Jiayue a little embarrassedly. "Actually, I have already brought them here, and now they are settled in Annan County."
At that time, he thought that if Gu Jiayue was unwilling to take him in, he would take his mother and sister and wander around.
He just didn't believe that her Wang family could cover the sky with one hand!
"In that case, please take some time to bring your mother and sister over. The courtyard can still accommodate them."
Huo Junyu nodded. "Okay, I'll go right away."
Seeing that he was anxious, Gu Jiayue asked Fusheng to take him to the county town in a carriage so that he could return before curfew.
After dealing with Huo Junyu's matter, Gu Jiayue said goodbye to Aunt Cai and went home.
Jiang Luli, who had been squatting in the bushes for the entire afternoon, endured the pain of mosquito bites and looked at Lu Yao in disbelief: "She just left like that? Without coming to say goodbye to me?"
Lu Yao was confused: "Master, this is Director Gu's yard now, and we are just staying temporarily." Why would someone say goodbye to someone who is just staying there when he can come and go in his own home?
"Then..." Jiang Luli was a little breathless because Lu Yao was right.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go and deal with the Wang family?" Jiang Luli was angry and naturally felt annoyed when he looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao also knew that his loyal servant was not well-received. "Don't worry, Master. I promise not to leave a single one alive!"
"Idiot!" Jiang Luli wanted to slap Lu Yao to death. "I didn't ask you to kill anyone! Go and teach Hu Benchang a lesson, and make him manage his men. If you dare to cause trouble for the Huo family again..."
Lu Yao replied casually, "Just kill his whole family!"
I can't help it!
Jiang Luli slapped Lu Yao in the chest, causing him to spit blood. "Kill, kill, kill! What else can you do besides killing? I'm a prince, not the King of Hell!"
"Just tell them that I'm protecting the Huo family! Don't do anything else."
"After you finish this matter, go and find out when Xiao Fuzi can arrive in Taohua Village!" The stupid subordinates are not easy to use, so the smart Xiao Fuzi is more useful.
Just one look can make you understand the master's thoughts, there is no need for a word of explanation!
Oh, it’s another day when I miss Xiao Fuzi.
