Chapter 13 You'd better stab my wife with a knife

"Ahhhh! I'm going to fight her!!!"

Zong Jincheng's patience was instantly exhausted, and he rushed into the room and started rummaging around.

The deserted courtyard, which had been emptied, now had a new breath of life because of the things he had thrown around.

But it frightened the only remaining servant, Shunzi.

"Young Master, what are you looking for?" Shunzi asked tremblingly.

Originally he had five companions who served this devil together and they could share any harm. But now he is the only one left, how could he withstand such destruction!

Zong Jincheng asked angrily, "Where's my knife?"

Xu Wan had just married into the family and she dared to pick up a knife and chop him. Aren’t knives available everywhere?

Where is it?

Shunzi was horrified and said, "What do you want a knife for, young master? There are no sharp weapons in our courtyard!"

The little devil was furious: "Find a knife! Damn Shinobi, I want to die with her!"

It’s so bullying!

He had lived for eight whole years and had never suffered such humiliation!

If we're going to die, we're going to die together. Let's all stop playing!

Shunzi was about to faint.

He pinched his philtrum with one hand, forcing himself to be strong, and trotted forward to persuade him: "Young Master, think twice! You have been fooled once, you can get it back. But you only have one life, if you lose it, wouldn't it be a greater loss? A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

Shunzi used all his life's knowledge in this conversation, and he just hoped that this young master would stop making trouble.

I didn't expect the little devil to actually listen to my advice.

Very listening.

He calmed down and started to rage at someone else: "You, you want revenge."

Shunzi looked back.

No one.

He turned his head and pointed at himself: "?"

Zong Jincheng stared at him and said, "Yes, it's you. Think about it quickly!"

Shunzi: “…”

Otherwise you should just stab the lady with a knife.

However.

Under Zong Jincheng's death gaze, Shunzi swallowed his saliva and finally came up with a brilliant plan:

"How about... you go to college to study?"

"Huh?" Zong Jincheng stared at him and advised him to be careful with his words.

Shunzi said weakly, "Madam is rich and powerful now. We can't defeat her head-on. It's better to retreat and avoid her attack for the time being. Wait until the old lady returns to the Marquis' Mansion, and then you can talk about coming back."

There are many academies in the capital, and many of them provide food and accommodation. If his young master is really determined to go to an academy, even if he doesn't pay money, those academies will make an exception and accept him for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Then I was fooled by her, wasn't I?" Zong Jincheng said unhappily, "She just wanted me to study hard, but my going to the academy made her happy!"

"Young Master, you are just going to the academy. It is up to you whether you want to learn or not. If you really don't want to learn, it won't help even if the teacher stands by your ear and recites scriptures."

Zong Jincheng asked defensively, "Master, will you still read scriptures in my ear?"

Shunzi: “…”

He is a teacher, not a monk.

Who has nothing to do and is willing to recite sutras for you? !

After thinking about it, the competent servant explained to him very considerately: "That's what I said. There are dozens or even hundreds of students in the academy, and they can't care about you, young master, alone."

Zong Jincheng thought it made sense.

This plan works.

"Let's go find that woman and tell her that I want to study hard!"

Main courtyard.

Cuizhi is introducing various academies to Xu Wan.

"There are many academies in the capital, but the most powerful one is Hanlin Academy. Every top scholar in our Great Chu State comes from here!"

"The Hanlin Academy is divided into two academies, the South and North. The South academy accepts those with family background and money, and the North academy accepts those with outstanding knowledge. With the background of our mansion, there is no way that the young master can enter the South academy."

Xu Wan lay on the imperial concubine chair, listening with her eyes squinted.

Isn't this the same as modern times?

Half of the students in a key high school are selected from junior high schools in various places, and the other half are enrolled from nearby school districts. The top students are assigned key teachers, but the teachers of the selected students may not be the same.

“What is the academic level of students in the South Campus?”

Cuizhi said, "Not bad, they are all pretty good. After all, they are all children who are loved and pampered by their parents. They have been taught by good teachers since they were young. Naturally, they are better than the children of ordinary people."

"Oh, then how many of them passed the exam and got top marks?"

Cuizhi was silent for a few seconds.

There are only three people in this class, and they are all from the North Court every year, so there is no way it would be the South Court's turn.

Xu Wan saw her expression and understood immediately.

The South Campus is not bad, and it has enjoyed better educational resources than most students, but if she wants to achieve her goal, she still has to go to the North Campus.

As he was thinking this, Zong Jincheng had already rashly barged in again.

Xu Wan knew that he was disrespectful, so she kept the door to the courtyard open. Seeing the boy suddenly appear, she was already used to it: "What's wrong, Young Master Zong? Do you have something to ask of me?"

Zong Jincheng: “…”

This woman is so hateful.

Any random word can provoke his anger.

What’s even more infuriating is that she always guessed correctly!

The little devil was so angry that his face turned red. If Shunzi hadn't been holding him back, he would have jumped up on the spot and started another hair-pulling competition with Xu Wan.

"Are you okay? If you're fine, I'll go for a walk in the back garden." Xu Wan said as she was about to stand up.

Zong Jincheng squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "I want to go to the academy to study."

Xu Wan picked her ears and said lazily, "I can't hear clearly."

Zong Jincheng clenched his fist.

I can bear it!

"I said I want to go to school and study hard! Isn't that what you are looking forward to?"

It would be best to agree to let him go to the academy.

Otherwise he would really draw his sword and start trouble!

Xu Wan said with a sound of "oh" and pretended to be ignorant and said to Cuizhi: "Then go and register the young master for the entrance examination of Hanlin Academy."

Cuizhi widened her eyes.

The entrance examination to Hanlin Academy...?

Anyone with a background can enter the South Courtyard, and only the North Courtyard requires an exam. With my young master's level of knowledge, letting him take the exam in the North Courtyard...

Are you planning to just write your name?

When the young master's friends find out about this, they will laugh their heads off!

"Madam, are you sure it is Hanlin Academy?" Cuizhi was afraid that she was wrong.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Yes, Hanlin Academy is the best academy in the capital, and only he is worthy of the status of the eldest grandson of our Marquis's mansion."

Zong Jincheng knew nothing about the academy. When Xu Wan mentioned his identity, he immediately straightened his back.

She can talk.

And he also knows how powerful Master Zong is!

"Yes, I will send someone to register the young master right away..." Cuizhi gave Zong Jingcheng a look that wished him well before leaving.

Zong Jincheng was such a clever man, he already had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and after fighting with Xu Wan for several days, his mind was working even faster.

Seeing Cuizhi like this, he immediately asked cautiously: "You are not setting a trap for me again, are you? What is that entrance exam?"
