Chapter 85: Shocking the Three Hundred Years
Old Gu struggled to jump down from the wall. He walked over to Zhan Chi and took a closer look before he remembered who he was. "Oh, it really is the young master of the Zhan family. I heard he was always idle, so why is he lying around in the corner of the general's mansion today?"
Zhan Chi rolled his eyes in annoyance: "You are so old and you are lying on someone's wall, why can't I lie on it too?"
"You kid—" Old Gu looked up and saw the three silver needles on his head, and snorted, "Serves you right!"
“…”
Zhan Chi was upset. What was the old man from the Gu family doing in the general's mansion?
Could it be that Gu Shuo told him about the little fat boy and he came to recognize his great-granddaughter?
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the pain and raised his hand to pull out the silver needle. The piercing pain made him gasp.
"Mr. Gu, is there something going on in the General's Mansion?" Ye Qianning raised his eyebrows.
"It's okay. Didn't I hear that a banquet is going to be held for the young master and young lady of the general's mansion who are enrolled in Loushan Academy?" Old Gu walked to the little girl with a smile, staring at her chubby little face and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it.
Ye Qianning dodged in disgust: "So, Mr. Gu is here to celebrate?"
"Yes, but don't misunderstand, little girl. I'm not here to celebrate with them. I'm here to celebrate with you." Old Gu explained. He saw it clearly just now.
The people who were celebrating were thrown out along with their gifts like chickens. The little kid is quite resourceful!
"Celebrate? What are you celebrating for her?" Zhan Chi asked in confusion, covering his head.
"You may not know this yet, but this kid is an academic genius. Xiao Song from Loushan College loses to this girl in terms of academics. Xiao Song is usually so arrogant, but when he meets this girl, he kneels down in defeat. Hahahaha." When Mr. Gu mentioned this, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhan Chi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Is the little fat guy so powerful?
Even Master Song couldn't compare to him? He had to kneel down after losing?
Their generation had all taken classes from Master Song, a man who was unmatched in academics in the four countries. How could they lose to a six-year-old kid?
Ye Qianning was speechless. The old man was such a big mouth. What happened to the promise of keeping it a secret?
"Oh, the dean said that this matter must be kept confidential. Kid, just think of it as a joke I told you. Don't take it seriously." Old Gu reacted.
Ye Qianning: “…”
Zhan Chi: “…”
A joke? Don't mind? He already cares a lot!
"Little girl, didn't you agree to be the dean's disciple? Why haven't you gone to Loushan Academy yet?" Ever since he returned home that day, Mr. Gu has been thinking about the little girl's academic calculations all the time.
Zhan Chi widened his eyes. The dean’s disciple?
OMG--
How powerful is the little fat boy that the dean of Loushan Academy is eager to become his disciple?
"My father is ill. I will go to Mount Loushan after he recovers."
Old Gu nodded: "I heard about it. How is General Xiang's health now?"
"I'm not fully recovered yet. The Emperor summoned me to the palace this morning." Ye Qianning paused and asked, "Is it because Loushan is making an exception to admit students? Does Elder Gu think it's a big deal? Will Dad be in trouble?"
She was not very clear about the laws of Beili, and she didn't know much about the emperor's character.
"It's alright. General Xiang has made great military achievements. How could the Emperor punish him severely for such a small mistake? At most, he would punish him for half a year or a year as a token of his salary."
Ye Qianning nodded and felt slightly relieved when he heard that. It was okay to deduct his salary.
Zhan Chi's eyes never left Ye Qianning, and he clearly noticed the relief on her face. "Are you so worried about Marquis Xiang Ming?"
vinegar!
A sour taste that I didn’t even notice!
"That's my dad. If I don't worry about him, who will?"
Do you expect that old woman to worry?
