Fu Liqing immediately flew into a rage: "The academician? What right does he have to kick Young Master Zhao out?"
The maid Lan'er stuck out her tongue. This was the first time she had seen the usually gentle Fu Liqing so angry. It seemed that he really cared about Zhao Lin. She quickly said, "The county school is under the jurisdiction of the education administrator. As long as he has a suitable reason, he has the right to do so."
"That's not an appropriate reason."
Fu Liqing had just gotten off the carriage when he turned around and got on again: "Go to Kaiyang County School."
The carriage wheels rolled against the bluestone slabs, making a rumbling sound.
The county school, which originally did not allow carriages to enter, now allows carriages to enter. Not only that, the academician Ji Zhengqi also trotted over to greet them.
"Miss Fu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me." Ji Zhengqi bowed.
Fu Liqing didn't get out of the car either. He just opened the curtain and asked bluntly, "Ji Xuezheng, I want to know why Zhao Lin was expelled."
Ji Zhengqi said calmly, "Miss Fu, Zhao Lin has evil intentions and a terrible character. He is not worthy of admission."
Fu Liqing angrily said, "Why do you say he has a vicious mind and bad character?"
Ji Zhengqi bowed and said, "According to the comments given to him by Minister Fu."
Fu Liqing became even angrier: "He only said his answer was not good, he didn't say he was not good."
Ji Zhengqi smiled and said, "Everyone says Miss Fu admires Zhao Lin's talent, and today I see that he's indeed quite talented. The conversation between Minister Fu and Zhao Lin has already been leaked. Minister Fu even said that as long as he's around, he won't let Zhao Lin pass the imperial examination. So, why waste Zhao Lin's time here? Wouldn't it be better to visit more brothels and write a few poems?"
Fu Liqing angrily said, "That was just my father's angry words. How could he really do that? Besides, it is the national policy of the dynasty to allow scholars to enter the county school. How dare you violate the national policy?"
Ji Zhengqi quickly said, "I wouldn't dare. However, I also have the right to refuse admission to such a person. If Miss Fu thinks I've done something wrong, please feel free to ask Minister Fu to report me."
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough for my father to report you?" Fu Liqing cursed.
If Fu Chengwang wanted to deal with Ji Zhengqi, he only needed to twist his mouth. If he really went to the emperor to report him, he would probably be laughed to death.
Ji Zhengqi stood up straight and said calmly, "Although I hold a low position, I am also concerned about the country. If a vicious villain like Zhao Lin were to pass the imperial examination and become an official, who knows how many people he would harm. Therefore, I beg Miss Fu to forgive me."
Fu Liqing looked at Ji Zhengqi coldly.
Ji Zhengqi said, "Please forgive my bluntness. Zhao Lin is such a lowly person. Miss Fu, why bother to get entangled with him and avoid being criticized?"
Fu Liqing said coldly: "It's not your turn to meddle in my affairs."
"Yes, yes." Ji Zhengqi said repeatedly.
"Go back." Fu Liqing lowered the car curtain and left angrily.
Ji Zhengqi bowed quickly and said, "Farewell, Miss Fu."
Only after Fu Liqing's carriage disappeared did Ji Zhengqi stand up straight and smile.
"With this contribution, can you at least give me a move?"
Although the position of academician is good, it is not as good as those positions in powerful departments, such as the Ministry of Personnel where the Bai family is located. As long as they can make good use of the situation, why can't they become an official of the sixth or seventh rank?
As long as you enter the Ministry of Personnel, with your own abilities, you can climb up in a few years, and then work your way out of the capital to become a local official and become a local lord.
Ji Zhengqi had a good plan for himself and hurried to find Bai Shicheng: "I have to let him know how hard I've worked."
Fu Liqing returned to the Fu Mansion and immediately went to find Fu Chengwang: "Dad, it's all your fault. You gave Mr. Zhao such a comment and got him rejected by the county school."
"Hmm?" Fu Chengwang frowned slightly: "The county school refused to accept you?"
"Yes, the county education official said that Zhao Lin has a vicious mind and a bad character, so he cannot be admitted to school, lest he become an official and harm the people in the future. He also said that the decision was made based on the comments you gave. You have to take responsibility." Fu Liqing complained.
Fu Chengwang said calmly, "What do you want?"
Fu Liqing said, "You come and teach him."
"Nonsense!" Fu Chengwang scolded, "Let me teach him, you're so smart."
Fu Liqing said confidently, "It was because of you that he was rejected by the county school. Shouldn't you be held responsible?"
Fu Chengwang thought for a moment.
Fu Liqing quickly said, "No matter what the academician's intentions are, since this is all your fault, you should at least make amends to him, right? He doesn't even need to become your disciple. If he has any questions, he can come to you for advice. How about that?"
Fu Chengwang said calmly, "Okay."
Fu Liqing immediately said happily: "Thank you, Daddy."
"Don't thank me yet, there are conditions." Fu Chengwang said.
"I agree to any conditions." Fu Liqing said without hesitation.
"Really?" Fu Chengwang looked at Fu Liqing.
Fu Liqing nodded heavily: "Really."
Fu Chengwang asked, "Are you going to agree to your marriage with the young man from the Bai family?"
"this……"
Fu Liqing was stunned.
She didn't expect Fu Chengwang to make such a request, and hesitated for a moment.
"Bai Shicheng is such a bad person, he's not even as good as Mr. Zhao." Fu Liqing said.
Fu Chengwang ignored her and said, "If you agree, I will allow Zhao Lin to study here."
The Fu family's collection of books is much larger than Sudi's. There is an entire library with a complete collection of books. Many of the Fu family's descendants study here.
Fu Liqing gave Zhao Lin only a little over a hundred books, which was only one percent.
"This condition is too difficult, isn't it?" Fu Liqing said coquettishly, "Can you change it? For example, a young master from another family?"
Fu Chengwang said, "No. Minister Bai and I have already made an agreement."
Bai Shicheng's grandfather was the Minister of Rites, so Fu Chengwang called him Minister Bai.
Fu Liqing immediately said anxiously: "I don't agree."
"You have no say." Fu Chengwang said calmly, "If I agree now, I can give Zhao Lin some benefits."
Fu Liqing said angrily: "I won't agree to it."
At this time, the doorman came over: "Master, Miss, Mr. Bai is here."
Fu Liqing's face darkened. "What is he doing here? Throw him out."
Fu Chengwang said, "Let him in."
The concierge left in a hurry.
Fu Liqing stamped his feet in anger: "Daddy!"
Fu Chengwang said, "You and him will eventually get married, so you should spend more time together to get to know each other better."
"I don't. I went to the bookshop."
Fu Liqing turned and ran.
Fu Chengwang said sternly, "Stop. Sit down."
Fu Liqing had no choice but to sit down.
Soon, the doorman came with Bai Shicheng.
As soon as Bai Shicheng entered the room, he bowed and said, "Bai Shicheng greets Uncle Fu."
"Yeah." Fu Chengwang nodded.
Bai Shicheng looked at Fu Liqing again: "Miss Fu is here too."
Fu Liqing snorted coldly.
Bai Shicheng didn't take it seriously, but felt rather proud. He used a little trick to stop the Zhao guy from crying, and he thought he was worthy of fighting with me?
Wait until I catch you and see how I deal with you.
Bai Shicheng concealed his smug look and said, "Shicheng wants to invite Miss Fu out for a trip. I hope my uncle will agree to it."
