Chapter 63 Students and Teachers
When Su Yanli returned home, he usually did not talk about the Imperial College, and certainly would not mention that the youngest son of Prince Jin had become his student. Besides, most of those who could enter the Imperial College were children of court officials of the fifth rank or above. He was accustomed to dealing with the sons of high-ranking officials every day.
Zhao Lan was aloof and could keep silent, but Fan Yanjia couldn't. He got off his horse and hurried forward, smiling and bowing, saying, "Today is a day off. The young prince and I came to see the teacher together."
Su Yanli knew about this and thought they would come in the afternoon. He planned to go home and clean up after the opening ceremony in the morning and wait for them to come, but he didn't expect them to come in the morning.
Zhao and Fan wanted to come in the afternoon, but the King of Jin wanted them to come in the morning, so they had to come in the morning.
Although it was a student paying respect to the teacher, the student's status outside the Imperial College was too high. Su Yanli couldn't be rude and waved to his daughter, "Ajin——"
Su Ruojin came over with her calves, calling out "Dad—" in a soft and slow voice, like a seventeen-year-old girl.
If Zhao Lan hadn't seen her letting Hua Ping step on someone, he would have really believed it. A six or seven-year-old girl was not afraid of beating someone up, and even wanted to beat the person to death. She was really brave...
Before Zhao Lan finished thinking, the young lady looked up and asked him on his tall horse, "Young Prince, what should we do if someone uses the Prince of Jin's Mansion to commit crimes?"
Neither Master Xue nor Su Yanli had expected that Su Ruojin would dare to expose the matter. For a servant of a wealthy family to dare to do evil, he must have a backer. As the saying goes, it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little devils. Prince Jin and his wife may not know about this, but the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion must know about it, and they must have acquiesced to it.
Small officials in the capital usually do not offend these little devils, because compared to the King of Hell, it is harder to guard against these little devils' tripping tricks, and they may lose their jobs if they are not careful.
Su Yanli was fine, but Master Xue looked at Zhao Lan nervously. If the young prince did not solve the matter openly in order to maintain the dignity of the palace, then things would be troublesome later.
Zhao Lan looked at Dou Wangcai, whose head was swollen and his face was bruised from being stepped on. His world-weary face finally showed some expression and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Shuangrui, the servant beside him, quickly stepped forward and replied, "Young Master, I just inquired and found out that he is the son of Manager Xu's sister."
Everyone stared at Zhao Lan nervously, hoping that the young prince would help them punish this evil villain.
But he seemed not to hear and looked nonchalant.
Su Ruojin was so angry that she thought, this kind of person wants to claim to be his father and teacher, bah!
Seeing that the youngest son of Prince Jin had no intention of upholding justice, Su Yanli was secretly disappointed, but his face showed nothing. He took the lead and led the others out of the yard, "Ajin, Dad will go back first. If there is anything wrong, wait for Dad to come over."
Su Ruojin nodded obediently. When her eyes met the man named Zhao, she ignored him, but behaved respectfully and stepped aside. She thought to herself, after they leave, she will let Hua Ping beat Dou Wangcai so hard that he will be unable to get out of bed for three months.
Fan Yanjia glanced at Zhao Lan, who was still motionless, put on a fake smile, and extended his hand to invite him to leave first.
The most disappointed person here was Master Xue. Not only did the youngest son of Prince Jin not even dismount to see his teacher, he even didn't deal with those who took advantage of the situation to do evil. It seemed that the relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion could not be saved. Just when he was about to see Zhao Lan off respectfully.
He spoke faintly, "San Tai——"
"The little one is——"
"Throw him in front of Manager Xu."
"Yes, young master."
Throw it in front of Manager Xu? What does this mean?
Whenever Shu Yitong had something he didn't understand, he wanted to ask the Second Lady, but the distance between them was too far to talk in private.
Su Yanli was very surprised and looked at the student.
Zhao Lan finally jumped off his horse and bowed to him, "Student greets teacher."
"You're too polite, young prince." Su Yanli smiled and lifted his arm.
When Master Xue saw this scene, he was delighted and hurried over to show his presence, "Master Su, the weather is hot, hurry up and take Master Fan and the young prince back!"
"Let's go now." Su Yanli was worried about his daughter and looked at her again.
Su Ruojin waved her hand and told him not to worry and go back quickly.
This time, he didn't look away when his eyes fell on Zhao Lan.
But someone ignored it and left.
Su Ruojin: ...
She didn't even have a chance to fake a smile.
Forget it, why get mad at a middle school boy?
There were no troublemakers, and no sixth-rank official Xue in charge. In the yard, Su Ruojin was the only boss, and he could tell the craftsmen whatever he had in mind!
As soon as she turned around, Su Ruojin threw herself into the decoration work, and happily shouted to the master who was scraping the wall, "Master Cheng, this wall needs to be like this..."
The young lady's soft voice gradually faded away. Zhao Lan jumped on his horse and followed the pedestrians towards Osmanthus Alley.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was already high, the heat was gathering, and the whole person was sweating. What kind of master is this? It's annoying!
Hua Ping hid in his small room. The front and back windows were ventilated, so there was wind but it wasn't hot. However, he was restless. What did the young master mean by that look when he left? Should he ask the master if showing off his skills today would cause unnecessary trouble?
Su Ruojin had no idea that Hua Ping was worried to death. She was chatting enthusiastically with the craftsmen, wishing she could pour all her ideas into their heads and set up the breakfast shop immediately.
After a while, Mao Ya came over and called her, "Second Madam, the master asked you to go home and prepare the lunch."
"I'm busy!" Without even raising her head, Su Ruojin, who was discussing the blueprint with the craftsman, suddenly came to her senses and asked Mao Ya, "Sister Ya, do you mean that my dad invited those two guys to have lunch?"
"Yes, they brought gifts with them, so Madam should leave some food for them according to etiquette."
Su Ruojin exhaled, and the wind blew her bangs.
All right! She had no choice but to make an appointment with the craftsmen for tomorrow, and today's work would be over. Before leaving, Su Ruojin called Hua Ping, "Come on, come to my house for lunch."
Hua Ping lay on the bed listlessly and waved his hand, "I'm not going."
“So serious and responsible!”
Seriously, he wanted to meet Mr. Shen, so he could only wait for them to leave and then sneak out.
Hua Ping looked like he didn't want to bother with her, so Su Ruojin had no choice but to say, "Okay, when the meal is ready, I'll ask Sister Mao to bring it to you."
After a while, Hua Ping was the only one left in the bustling yard. He sighed, locked the door, and went to look for his master.
In the Su family study, Su Yanli accompanied two students. He didn't know what to say, so he took two books and sent them away. "You read them first. If you don't understand anything, ask me."
Su Dalang saw that he was also reading a book. For some reason, he wanted to laugh. Is this how his father taught students in the Imperial College?
As there were distinguished guests at home, Cheng Yingzhen was busy all the time. She asked Xianggui to make tea and serve them, and asked Mother Dong, who had just returned from the stall, to cut vegetables and prepare ingredients for lunch.
"What we cook is not as delicious as Ajin's. Let's wait for her to come back and cook."
