Chapter 77 Recommendation Letter (Update 1)
Ye Mingze turned around and sneered as if he had heard a joke: "With them? I'm going to study at the Imperial College! I don't have that much free time to spend with them!"
Ye Chutang smiled, "Yes, it just so happens that the two of them are planning to enroll in the Imperial College today. I originally thought that they had never been there before and would definitely not know where to go when they got there, but I didn't expect that you are already well and are also going back to school. If you can take them with you, I will feel much more at ease."
"What?"
Ye Mingze thought he had heard wrongly.
"The two of them? Enrolled in the Imperial College?"
He glanced at Ye Chutang from head to toe with a look of contempt: "You don't even know what that place is, do you really think anyone can get in?"
The Imperial Academy was fundamentally different from ordinary academies. Those who were qualified to enter were either extremely outstanding students or the children of high-ranking officials.
Just relying on Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng... without his father's help, it would be extremely difficult for them to go to the Imperial College!
At this moment, footsteps were heard from behind.
Ye Chutang turned around and saw that Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng had packed up and were walking towards them.
Both of them were carrying book boxes.
Ye Jingyan's room was filled with neatly arranged pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, but Ye Yunfeng's room was obviously empty. If he walked faster, he could hear the clinking of the few things inside.
Ye Chutang: “…”
I know that I can't rely on Afeng for things like studying.
"Sister!"
Although Ye Yunfeng had no interest in studying, he was still quite curious about the Imperial College. He heard that there were teachers teaching horse riding and archery there, so he changed into a set of tight clothes today.
Ye Chutang looked at Ye Jingyan.
She knew in her heart that Ah Yan had been longing for this day for a long time, but when the moment really came, his handsome and gentle face was still calm, with only a faint light in his eyes, showing that his mood at the moment was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
After all, he is just a boy who is not even fourteen years old.
Ye Chutang waved at them and said, "You guys came at the right time. Mingze has to go back to class today. If you go together, you'll have company."
Ye Yunfeng glanced at Ye Mingze, with a strange, teasing smile on his face: "Oh, you got well so quickly?"
"you!"
Ye Mingze hated it the most when someone brought up this matter. Every time he did, he felt like a coward and extremely embarrassed!
He laughed in anger: "You don't think that you can go to the Imperial College just because you have some money, do you?"
He heard from the servants two days ago that Ye Chutang asked his father for two boxes of account books, and his father also gave him a lot of silver, saying that Ye Jingyan and his brother had returned to the capital, and would need money to study in the future.
Looking at the brand new pear blossom yellow wood bookcases carried by the two brothers, Ye Mingze sneered: "They haven't even started yet, and they've already changed to such an expensive bookcase?"
Ye Jingyan seemed a little surprised that he would say that. He pursed his lips and said, "Cousin, you misunderstood. Actually, at first, Afeng and I were just planning to use the old bookcases from before, but then we changed our minds. Everyone in the capital knows that we are now under the tutelage of our second uncle. If we use something too shabby, people will think that our second uncle is reluctant to spend money on us two brothers, which will damage his reputation."
Ye Mingze felt a tightness in his chest.
Ye Yunfeng rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
How dare he say such things to mock him and his brother? You know, he ran across most of the capital a few days ago and finally found these two most expensive bookcases!
It’s so tiring to move back!
When it comes to his own father, Ye Mingze naturally dared not say anything nonsense, and frowned and said: "Even so, you shouldn't be so extravagant! Even in the Imperial College, not everyone can use such good things, not to mention that you are just going to an ordinary academy!"
Ye Jingyan was surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that, cousin? Afeng and I also went to the Imperial College."
"Just you guys?" Ye Mingze laughed, "What are you daydreaming about! How are you going to the Imperial College? Are you qualified?—"
Ye Chutang smiled slightly.
"I wonder if the recommendation letter from the Lord Jijiu is good enough?"
Ye Mingze's laughter stopped abruptly, and there was a deep disbelief in his eyes.
"What did you say!?"
…
Imperial College.
The morning sun shines down, the shade of the trees casts a shadow in the courtyard, and the sound of reading can be heard.
An old man with pale hair walked slowly towards them, with a rare kind smile on his wrinkled face.
Several teaching assistants who were about to give lectures met him and saluted respectfully with their hands clasped together.
"Greetings, Lord Jijiu."
Tang Zhongli waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite."
The teaching assistants looked at each other.
The Master of the Imperial Sacrifice usually has a serious and solemn temperament, and never smiles. Why is he...
One of them asked boldly, "Master Jijiu, did you encounter any happy event today?"
Tang Zhongli stroked his beard and said modestly, "It's not really a happy event, it's just that two students are coming today."
student?
In previous years, the normal enrollment period for the Imperial College was January. It was already May, so why was it suddenly——
Besides, even if there were students coming, why would he be so happy?
"A new student is enrolled? I wonder which family he is from?"
I didn't hear any news before.
Tang Zhongli shook his head: "That's not the case. He is just a kid from an ordinary family, but he has decent talent. He just came to the capital to study recently."
Several people exchanged glances secretly.
Tang Zhongli was a great scholar of his time, with many students all over the world. He was extremely proud and had a very picky vision.
To be praised like this by him, it can be seen that he is a rare talent.
Several people were very curious for a while.
Suddenly, one of them suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master Jijiu, could it be that you are talking about... the young man we met in Yanping County last year?"
Tang Zhongli finally couldn't help laughing: "Yes! It's him! His brother is about the same age as him, so he entered school together!"
When the other people heard this, they all looked enlightened.
When it comes to this, they actually have some impression.
Last year, Tang Zhongli's mother passed away and he returned to his hometown to attend the funeral. On the way, he happened to meet a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old and praised him highly.
I heard that he also persuaded the young man to go to the capital to study, but unfortunately the young man's family was poor, so he declined.
Tang Zhongli regretted this for a long time and talked about it several times after returning to the capital.
I didn’t expect… after a year, that young man would actually come?
How much did the Lord Chief Academician like that young man that he directly allowed him to enter the Imperial Academy together with his brother?
Tang Zhongli sighed: "Since the elder brother is so outstanding, the younger brother will not be much worse! Oh, by the way, they should be arriving soon. Let's go to the door and see if they have arrived!"
…
The carriage stopped in front of the Imperial College.
Ye Mingze jumped out of the car first, half believing and half doubting.
Ye Jingyan followed closely behind.
Ye Yunfeng was about to come down when Ye Chutang pulled him back.
"A Feng, when you enter the Imperial College, you must read more books, listen to more classes, and talk less, understand?"
Ye Chutang raised his finger.
"At least hold on for a month."
