Chapter VII: Crisis
Just thinking about it, the locomotive arrived.
The six-storey tower towered in front of him, and the signboard of the Tai Academy hung proudly on it.
Rich and majestic.
The boys and girls each took their own scholars and maids and got out of the car.
As part of the highest institution of learning in the Yun Dynasty, Tai Academy is dedicated to educating the children of nobles.
The dean of the Tai Academy is a high-ranking official at the level of deputy director of the Sixth Council.
In such a school, students are allowed to take care of themselves, but they are never allowed to enter the school.
At the gate of the school, Qi Zhongliu found someone to make a card for Chu Tianshu's level.
The process is very similar to the process of the people who have cats and dogs in the city in Chu Tianshu's memory to license their pets.
Of course, in fact, it is not too much - the Cloud Dynasty allows the existence of "slaves".
Whether it is Chu Tianshu, Xiaokui, Hongyu, Zhou Yin, or other people, they are "family", but they are actually slaves of Chen Wangfu.
It's just that they don't whip them with a whip.
Chu Tianshu understood his position in the palace and in the Yun Dynasty very well.
So he didn't have any waves in his heart.
It doesn't look any different from the scholars and maids carried by the young ladies in the Tai Academy.
After carving the sign, Qi Zhongliu laughed with his familiar classmates and walked to the class.
And the maids and scholars brought by the classmates of Qi Zhongliu were all relieved, laughing at each other, and greeting Chu Tianshu.
"New face, has the seventeenth young master changed his scholar again?"
"I heard that yes, this scholar looks very good."
"Hey, what's your name?"
A scholar who looked white and petite released kindness at Chu Tianshu: "Brother, are you the new scholar of the Seventeenth Young Master?" ”
"If you're asking about me, then I think so." Chu Tianshu responded with a smile, and as he spoke, he looked up at the classroom where Qi Zhongliu was.
"What's your name?" The white scholar asked.
Chu Tianshu reported to his home: "Chu Tianshu." ”
"Chu Tianshu?" The man smacked for a while, and didn't seem to think that there was any deep meaning or allusion in the name, so he praised dryly: "What a nice name." ”
Chu Tianshu was not modest at all: "I also think my name is very good...... Young masters and young ladies are in class, are we not allowed to come close? ”
It's still a pity that I can't see Qi Zhongliu pretending to be forced.
"Of course not." The scholar rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about, people have already thought about it before setting up the academy, it is enough for homework to be allowed to take home, and the school should not think about helping to answer questions and think about recruiting." ”
"Let's go, you accompany us on the first day, and go to the lounge with us to chat."
Chu Tianshu raised his head.
A group of scholars and maids also nodded to him gently.
The masters may still have some grievances and hatreds in the school, but the scholars and maids do not have the same hatred or friendship with the masters.
It's kind of friendly to each other.
The scholars took Chu Tianshu to the scholars' lounge.
Compared with the external grandeur of Tai Academy, it seems very simple.
The room was small and the space was cramped.
There is only a bed like Datong, and the quilt on the bed is a relatively poor industrial surplus cotton, which exudes an unpleasant smell all the time.
"Hello Chu Tianshu, my name is Shen Siyuan." The petite scholar who pulled Chu Tianshu over to the lounge greeted him in a friendly manner: "Our young master is the youngest son of Shen Yisi, and he has a good relationship with your seventeenth young master, so we will meet often in the future - of course, provided that you can survive." ”
"I can...... Survive? Chu Tianshu was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
"Oh." Shen Siyuan suddenly said: "You probably don't know yet." ”
"Why are you telling him so much?" A scholar next to him had already kicked off his shoes and lay on the bed ready to sleep: "There is no point in talking so much to a dying person." ”
Chu Tianshu patted his pocket, and the twenty yuan silver coins given by Xiao Kui earlier in his pocket rattled: "I am a dying person, it may not make sense to simply talk to me, but what if I am a rich dying person?" ”
The scholar who was too lazy to go to bed immediately got up and stopped sleeping, and sat up with a bone: "Silver coins! ”
Chu Tianshu smiled: "You are very powerful, you can tell that it is a silver coin when you listen to the voice." ”
"That's a must." The scholar didn't mean to introduce himself at all, but just rubbed his hands together and said, "If you are willing to give me a piece...... No, five cents, I'll tell you all the ins and outs of the matter. ”
At this time, it was not only him, but several other scholars heard the sound of silver coins rattling, and when they heard him speak, the scholar next to him couldn't help but speak: "I only need three cents." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately opened the head of a malicious bidding.
A scholar next to him immediately followed up to reduce the price: "I only need a dime, give me a dime, and I will tell you the truth of the matter immediately." ”
Chu Tianshu is not in a hurry at this time.
Buyer's market, and wait.
The scholar who had previously quoted five cents shook his head, and first scolded a few guys who were bidding maliciously: "Jiri is a dead mother, and my cousin-in-law is a mile." ”
Then he gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Tianshu: "At least eight cents, give me eight cents, and I'll tell you everything." ”
Chu Tianshu took out a dollar, stood on the side of the silver coin, and blew at the side of the silver coin: "Are you sure this is the lowest price?" ”
"All I need is five cents." At the beginning, the little secret of the scholar who maliciously bid said: "Brother Chu can take out so much money from the seventeenth young master's hand, it can be seen that he is also capable, I only charge five cents, and I should make you a friend." ”
Shen Siyuan scratched his head: "What are you doing here...... Chu Tianshu, let me tell you directly, in fact, things are quite simple. ”
"Even the seventeenth young master before you also has a scholar."
"It's just that because I made a mistake, I was beaten to death by the ruthless sixth lady in your house."
"The reason is that the scholar from your previous predecessor, he took the seventeenth young master to visit the Qinglou."
"But that's just a saying, in fact, the seventeenth young master wants to go, and the brother of your predecessor is also the one who bears the sin of the seventeenth young master."
"So......" Chu Tianshu nodded: "I have to find a way to tell the Seventeenth Young Master not to go to the Qinglou so that I can survive?" ”
"But it's not all!" The scholar who was bidding maliciously added at this time: "As far as I know, in the past two years, the seventeenth young master of King Chen's Mansion has changed six scholars. ”
"So much?" Chu Tianshu was really surprised: "They are all dead? ”
"Yes." Shen Siyuan was worried: "None of them are alive. ”
Chu Tianshu took a breath of cool air: "This is a little troublesome." ”
He tossed a silver coin in his hand.
The silver coin rolls on the Chase shop and finally stops, with the words "Prosperity of the Dynasty" written on one side up.
"Can anyone tell me the scholars in front of me, why they were killed?"
