Chapter 072: Academy
Pingyang Bo originally wanted Chen Zhaoshi to stay in the house to recuperate from his injuries, just don't go out all day to fool around with those young masters, their family should keep a low profile for a while.
Who knew that Chen Zhaoshi wanted to be motivated at this time, and shouted that he wanted to go back to the academy.
How long has it been since he returned to the academy?
The gentlemen of the academy have probably forgotten such a student!
Pingyang Bo was very pleased, and immediately asked people to pack up their things, and said with emotion: "I think back then, my grandfather was the leader of the list, starting with literature, you went to the academy to study hard, it may not be easy to surpass your great-grandfather, but if you can be on the list, it will also be a glorious ancestor." ”
The corners of Chen Zhaoshi's mouth twitched, thinking that although he had been a student of the Four Academies in name over the years, he hadn't even finished reading a complete book.
It's still on the list, whether you can get recommended to participate in the spring exam qualification is another matter.
Besides, he can also get an official and a half-position by relying on his ancestors, so why should he be wronged to study and compete with those from low backgrounds for the qualification to be on the list.
He's a man in the family who has a title to inherit!
When he got into the carriage, Mrs. Pingyang Bo pulled him and instructed him for a long time, and when Chen Zhaoshi was a little impatient, Mrs. Pingyang gave up, she glanced back, grabbed Chen Zhaoshi again, and whispered: "Yan'er is behind, you go and say goodbye to her and say a few words." ”
Chen Zhaoshi glanced back at the woman standing at the door, impatience flashing in his eyes.
He reluctantly said, "That's not necessary, it's not like I'm not coming back." ”
Mrs. Pingyang Bo glared at him and coaxed in a low voice: "Obedient, go quickly, just say a word or two." ”
Chen Zhaoshi frowned and took a few steps back.
Jiang Yan was standing behind everyone, wearing a purple short jacket and a long pink skirt, with a peony flower headdress on his hair bun, standing silently to the side, holding a person who was more delicate than a flower, and was a little restrained and shy.
To tell the truth, this cousin is much better looking than the Oiran of the Red Gold Building, but Chen Zhaoshi doesn't dare to move, after all, she is Miss Houfu, although she is a concubine, her status is not low, if she really wants to marry, she can't say that she has to give her a main room.
Being a concubine is acceptable, but it is impossible to be a wife, Chen Zhaoshi didn't like Mrs. Chen, and he was disgusted with the Hou Mansion in every way, so he rushed to Jiang and his surname was Jiang, and he would not agree to anything.
What's more, he felt that Jiang Yan was a little stupid, her mother and eldest brother were not cold, and the old marquis was bedridden, she just lived in Pingyang Bofu all day long, and she was still wearing red and green, for fear that others would know that she was dead.
Chen Zhaoshi slandered in his heart, and his face was also revealed.
Jiang Yan saw Chen Zhaoshi walking towards her, her eyebrows suddenly became vivid, she took a step forward, and said softly, "Cousin." ”
Chen Zhaoshi walked over and said with a light expression: "I'm going back to the academy today, maybe I will get the winter solstice next time I come back, my cousin lives in the house, and please take the time to accompany my mother more." ”
When Jiang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hung his head slightly shyly and said, "Although my cousin studies hard, Yan'er will definitely go to my aunt to say goodbye more when he has spare time." ”
Chen Zhaoshi nodded: "In this way, thank you cousin, the hour is not early, I will leave first." ”
After speaking, he really turned around and walked towards the carriage, Jiang Yan wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to speak, he could only look at Chen Zhaoshi's back and go into the distance.
Watching the carriage go away, Pingyang Bo also sighed and said to his wife: "I finally understand something." ”
I also know that I have to study and improve.
Mrs. Pingyang naturally knows her son's thoughts, so why is he going to study, he is looking for someone to vent his anger.
But she didn't say anything, just nodded approvingly: "My son is naturally sensible, and you don't like him every day." ”

Simen Academy has a special place to live for students, after all, they are all big young masters, and the academy does not dare to slack off, they are all separate small courtyards, two rooms, Jiang Fengyi went back to his small courtyard, pointed to the side of his house and said to Jiang Liu: "There used to be Xiao Wu's residence, and you will live there in the future." ”
Jiang Liu looked at the small courtyard, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were withered, a little depressed, the house was clean and tidy, he put his things at will, and went to the young master's house next door to tidy up his things.
However, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Jiang Fengjin running out with a pale face and almost hitting the door frame.
Jiang Liu's expression was dazed, he stepped forward a few steps, blocked Jiang Fengjin, looked into the house, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Fengjin ran all the way to the courtyard and looked at him from a distance, his lips were very tight, and even his whole body was trembling slightly.
Jiang Liu first glanced around the house, but he didn't see anyone, and then looked back at Jiang Fengjin, and saw that he was obviously frightened, but he was not injured.
He relaxed a little and stepped into the room.
Jiang Fengjin hurriedly shouted: "Don't go in." ”
However, Jiang Liu's speed was fast, and he had already walked into the house in two steps, the room was not big, but it was much more spacious than his one, with screens and bookshelves, and the wardrobes, tables and chairs were all intact.
When passing by the bed, Jiang Liu'er moved and noticed that something seemed to be moving on the bedding.
He quickly turned around, pulled out a soft whip made of cowhide and iron chains from his waist, and threw it violently on the bed.
A strange muffled sound came, and when he looked back, he saw that the bedding was stained with blood, and two large three-finger-thick colorful snakes were whipped into two sections on the spot by the soft whip, and the snake's tail was still left on the bed, and the one with the snake's head had fallen to the ground and was still writhing.
Jiang Liu's face turned cold when he saw this scene.
He walked over with a soft whip and stepped on the snake's head, crushing the two snake's heads, before he looked away with a cold face and pulled the bedding to the ground.
He walked around the house a few more times, checking inside and out, and finding nothing unusual, before he walked out the door with a long blood-stained whip.
Jiang Fengjin was still standing in the empty and bleak courtyard, his face was still bloodless, but his expression was calm, and the panic in Fang Cai's eyes had been well covered.
Jiang Liu glanced at him, went back to his room, checked inside and out, and after making sure that there was no problem, he came out and said to Jiang Fengjin: "There are some dirty things in the young master's house, I will clean it up for you later, the young master might as well come to my house and sit for a while." ”
Jiang Fengjin thought about it, it was not a matter for him to stand in the courtyard all the time, and he seemed to be very timid!
But he had a shadow over his room, and even the bed, and he didn't want to go back.
After a moment's hesitation, he entered Jiang Liu's house.
The room arranged for the scholar is naturally the configuration of the next person, the room is a little small, except for the bed for sleeping, the wardrobe, and a wall cabinet for sundries, there are only two wooden chairs left, not even a table.
Jiang Fengjin found a chair and sat down, not knowing what to say to Jiang Liu for a while.
Jiang Liu stood at the door, suddenly smiled, and said to Jiang Fengjin: "I thought that the young lady transferred me to the third young master as a scholar, because there was no place for me in the Hou Mansion, but now it seems that on the contrary, the young lady attaches great importance to the safety of the third young master. ”
