Lord Duan began to look forward to Wanjun Academy.
I thought this academy was just like other academies. Even if it accepted these idle children, it would not be able to really manage them.
But I didn’t expect that Zhou Jingmao would change so much in such a short time!
"I heard that Wanjun Academy is not accepting students this year. I guess they want to teach you kids well and build its reputation. You have a long way to go, so don't let the principal of the academy down!" Lord Duan patted his nephew's shoulder and began to feel a little relieved.
It seemed as if he had already seen Qian Jialu turning over a new leaf.
Qian Jialu rolled his eyes.
"Our academy just can't afford to hire teachers... There are only a few old men, and they can't teach too many students..." Qian Jialu told his uncle the truth bluntly.
Who among them doesn't know the current situation of the academy?
With only a few teachers, what can they do?
If we continue to recruit students, how can the old men’s bodies withstand it?
However, when Qian Jialu told the truth, his uncle scolded him for being disrespectful to his teachers and gave him a long lecture in a serious tone.
He mentioned Zhou Jingmao from time to time, and his envy of Marquis Yu Yong grew stronger and stronger.
At this time, Zhou Jingmao had already asked his coachman to ride back to the Marquis' Mansion at full speed.
After rushing in like the wind, he held his head high and strode with his chest puffed out. He looked so high-spirited, as if he had returned from a victorious battle, waiting to receive the shocked and admiring looks of others.
It’s a pity that Marquis Yuyong is not at home.
I even went out of my way to hide away.
Zhou Jingmao was the first to enroll, and he had already been on his third ten-day holiday. After returning for the first two times, his extravagant nature was hard to change. He demanded money and servants, complained bitterly about how hard life was in the academy, and insisted on paying 100,000 silver coins to redeem himself...
Lord Zhou thought that this time would be no exception, so he avoided it on purpose.
Zhou Jingmao came back empty-handed, as no one shared the good news with him.
It’s different on Xiao Cunyu’s side.
Xiong also sent someone to the academy to inquire about Xiao Cunyu's recent performance. He was very surprised to learn that he had passed the elegant examination, and Xiao Cunyu's treatment was improved again.
But now Xiao Jingyun has gone to Jiangding City, and his uncle is busy with official duties. As his aunt, Xiong is only a step away from him and can only show some concern for his food and drink.
Xiong also felt sorry for Xiao Cunyu.
It's a pity that he doesn't even have anyone to socialize with right now.
After thinking for a moment, he called Xiao Cunyu over and asked, "Qilang, do you know the Cheng family?"
"Future sister-in-law?" Xiao Cunyu replied subconsciously.
Seeing that he understood, Xiong nodded and said, "That's right. This young lady from the Cheng family is gentle and virtuous. I am very satisfied with her. It's a pity that the Cheng family has suffered a series of bereavements. Even though they have been planning a marriage for many years, they still can't marry this girl off. A few days ago, I received news that the young master of the Cheng family is ill. I am very worried, but I can't rush to visit him. Now that your eldest brother is away, why don't you go on his behalf and check on the young master's condition? Is that okay?"
She is the elder, so if she goes to see a doctor, she will definitely go to see the young master.
If the young master of the Cheng family still had some sense, he would have been able to respond to her, his elder, so as not to be impolite. But in this way, she went to see the patient and ended up disturbing him.
Therefore, when we received the news, we just sent some medicinal herbs and supplements.
But if her son was at home, she would definitely go and take a look.
"Is it not appropriate for me to go?" Xiao Cunyu said.
"It doesn't matter. It's reasonable for you to visit on your brother's behalf. Besides, you're young, so Miss Cheng doesn't need to avoid you too much. You can also give her a message..."
