Chapter 17: Those Desirable Years

After the aptitude test in the morning, the teenagers and girls who stayed behind were arranged by the academy to have a picnic on the grass.

Zhou Zechen bypassed the weeping willows by the lake and quietly returned to the crowd.

"Sixth brother, where have you been? You don't know, someone slandered our Zhou family in the morning......" The girl from the Zhou family saw him and hurriedly walked over.

"Yuerong, shut up. Zhou Zechen looked indifferent and said expressionlessly, "Don't forget your grandfather's words." ”

Zhou Yuerong didn't dare not listen to this cousin's words, so she had to swallow the words on her lips, but she still raised her head and stared in the direction of An Lingsu and the others unwillingly.

Zhou Zechen followed his cousin's line of sight and frowned slightly.

That girl, trying to get his attention through his cousin Yuerong, was entangled by such a scheming girl, and he felt very bored.

Luckily, the exam in the afternoon......

Zhou Zechen retracted his gaze, indifferent and calm as before.

An Lingsu naturally sat with his new friends, talking and laughing excitedly like everyone around him.

She didn't know at all that at this moment, in the big tent not far away, the old teachers of the Qingyi Academy were also having a conversation about her.

In the big tent, several old professors and a few young lecturers of the academy sat around the long square table, their eyes frequently looking in the direction of the door, as if they were waiting for someone.

Soon, the heavy curtain was lifted from the outside, and a short, stocky old man with white hair bent down and entered.

"Vice President. Inside the tent, all the professors and lecturers stood up, bowed and said hello, and looked respectful.

"Alright, let's all sit down and talk. The stocky old man smiled. "Actually, I prefer people to call me Professor Wang. ”

Everyone laughed.

The first to speak was the old man who was in charge of testing his aptitude today.

"It's so similar. ”

He simply said three words, but after these three words, everyone in the big tent fell silent.

The old professors seemed to be collectively caught in some kind of memory, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated. ---- is youth, excitement, remembrance, sadness, and joy......

The young lecturers looked at each other.

After a long time......

"yes, it's too similar. A certain petite female professor, with a faint mist in her eyes, sighed with a smile, "Back then, it was like this." ”

Gently......

Hearing this name, the young lecturers were immediately in awe.

In the academy, in the mouths of the old professors, the name belonged to only one person, a person who was admired by the whole world. ---- she is Queen Zhang Huang!

"yes. Another somewhat serious old professor also said, "Back then, when I came to take the entrance test, it was the same. ”

She just stretched out her index finger and lightly tapped the jade ball with her fingertips......" Saying this, the old professor with a serious face seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and his expression was slightly confused.

Then, in the face of the result of being talented, he smiled lightly but very happily. The female professor took over the conversation with emotion on her face. "At that time, I was standing beside her......"

"Not bad. Professor Mune, who was the first to speak, continued, "That kid did the same thing in the morning. In the end, she was also relieved and smiled. ”

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. ”

"Me too. ”

"Oh, I thought I was going back 60 years. ”

"Yes, the child's gesture is exactly the same as the light of the year. ”

“......”

The old professors said babblingly.

Obviously, today's performance of An Lingsu in testing his talent was secretly watched by everyone.

Qiu Yan and other young lecturers were completely unable to interject.

However, although they had not experienced those things back then, they also felt that the gesture of the girl during the test today was strange.

Especially Qiu Yan, he has more contact with An Lingsu than everyone else.

The more this happened, the more he felt that girl ...... It's a little weird.

The old professors still recalled the past, and the young lecturers listened to the familiar stories, and their faces were full of yearning.

That era, that era full of glory and admiration and yearning for them, belonged only to the old professors after all...... They want to participate, but they can't.

The vice dean, Professor Wang, has not spoken. Until now......

"All right," he patted the table, "that kid is indeed very much like Gentle. However, I have another interesting thing to tell you about. ”

Oh?

The crowd looked up at him.

"That kid of the Zhou family found me privately just now. Professor Wang said, "He euphemistically proposed that we could embarrass that girl in the afternoon exam, so that she would retreat and leave the college......

What the?

The expressions of everyone present became strange.

"Vice dean, isn't the recommendation card that sent that girl over this time from the Zhou family?" the female professor said, "Could it be that this is the rhythm of the son who wants to fight with Lao Tzu?"

Everyone laughed.

"It's really weird. Another old professor said, "Zechen's child, you shouldn't know that girl was recommended by his father, right?"

The crowd laughed again.

"Vice Dean, what are we going to do? Zhou Xingxing is also a member of our academy......" an old professor asked with a smile.

Zhou Xingxing is now the prime minister of the Yunzhou Empire.

Few people know that the brave Prime Minister has such a cute name.

Star......

However, those who know the origin of this name will smile knowingly.

Because of this name, it was taken by Zhang Huang back then. As for the reason, no one knows.

Therefore, the relationship between the Zhou family and the college is very unusual.

Because the current head of the Zhou family, the prime minister of the empire---- Zhou Xingxing, is a child raised by Zhang Huang back then, and he is her brother-in-law. And Qingyi College, in a sense, is Zhang Huanghou's college.

Not only that, but over the years, since Zhang Huang disappeared...... The empire was able to meet all the material needs of the academy, which was also thanks to Zhou Xingxing's strong support in the imperial court.

You must know that if a strong academy wants to continue, behind this, countless resources need to be piled up. And the quantity and rarity of those resources are unimaginable to outsiders.

Therefore, the relationship between the Zhou family and the academy is actually very close. And Zhou Zechen had been to the academy many times with his grandfather before that.

He was very familiar with many of the old professors here, so he was able to meet Vice Dean Wang in private.

Zhou Zechen is not only the most outstanding disciple of the Zhou family's generation, but also the heir personally designated by Zhou Xingxing.

The requirements put forward by the heirs of the Zhou family will not be ignored by the academy.

It's just that the girl ......

At the same time, the old professors showed a smile that could only be understood.

"Just as the child of the Zhou family wants. Professor Wang, Vice Dean, finally clapped his head and said.

The old professors laughed again.

Of course, they would embarrass the girl, not to get rid of her, but to see how much she looked like the same person back then...... The one they will always miss!

Back then, it was a really desirable time!
