Chapter 24 Fengtian Academy

Su Yizhao looked at the suddenly serious Su Wenqing, and suddenly felt that she had not seen this cheap dad clearly.

At this moment, Su Wenqing was completely upright, her eyes were clear, and she looked completely different from before.

"Father! Does Mr. Li only teach chess?" Su Yizhao asked, feeling suspicious.

"I can also teach you how to read and recite poems correctly! Master Li is an elegant man. You should study hard with him. I hope you will be even more famous than your father in the future!"

Su Wenqing sighed in admiration, his eyes full of yearning. The aura of righteousness just now seemed to be Su Yizhao's illusion.

Ah? Let’s forget it! Su Yizhao couldn’t imagine it.

"My father is very talented and a truly elegant man, but my son is far behind!"

Su Yizhao's casual words of flattery coaxed Su Wenqing into smiling.

The carriage drove for about two-quarters of an hour and stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Su Yizhao had already opened the curtain and looked outside. At this moment, there was a lot of people and many stalls were set up on both sides of the avenue at the foot of the mountain.

There are a lot of people, and this place is already a lively market.

"My Majesty studied at Fengtian Academy in my early years. This place is quite prosperous. Have you seen the hilltop opposite?" Su Wenqing pointed to the hilltop farther away on the other side, facing Su Yizhao and said.

Su Yizhao nodded, and then Su Wenqing said: "There is Fayuan Temple up there, which is the place where incense flourishes."

Su Yizhao just got off the carriage and suddenly realized what he said! No wonder these vendors also sell Buddhist incense, incense burners, candles and other items.

"On one side is a place of indifference and few desires, and on the other side is a place where one can satisfy his great desires. It is really a contradiction!" Su Wenqing shook her head and sighed.

Su Yizhao was also surprised. Could it be that those who have not passed the exams go to the other side to become a monk and end the worldly world?

Across the street, people ring bells and recite Buddha's name every day. Is it possible that they are so influenced by what they hear and see that they really lose their utilitarian ambition?

Su Yizhao was still staring blankly at the two mountains facing each other, but he heard someone talking next to him.

"Master! Why don't you buy candied haws on a stick? You are young, so you must like to eat them!"

An old man selling candied haws came up to Su Yizhao. Perhaps because Su Yizhao was young and dressed like a wealthy family, he started to seduce Su Yizhao with a candied haws.

Su Yizhao glanced at Su Wenqing. It wasn't that she wanted to eat the candied haws, but that she wanted to see Su Wenqing's reaction.

"Sweets are so sticky to your teeth, let's go!" Su Wenqing frowned and walked away.

Su Yizhao curled her lips, she knew this. This father was not like other people's fathers. How could he buy him food?

A child passed by and jumped up and down holding a candied haws. Su Wenqing turned around and glanced at Su Yizhao. His yellowing hair had not yet grown up, and his body was very thin.

"This old man is really pitiful, just buy two bunches!" Su Wenqing ordered Uncle Zhong behind him and walked straight forward.

Su Yizhao climbed up the long steps holding two bunches of candied haws, and Uncle Zhong looked pleased behind him.

"I still have the seventh young master in my heart."

Su Yizhao took a bite after hearing this. It was not very sweet and the syrup was a bit lacking.

In fact, Su Yizhao didn't like to eat candied haws, so he reluctantly finished one bunch and felt troubled when he saw the other bunch in front of him.

"Take this skewer back and give it to Sixth Brother to try!" She said and handed the candied haws to Uncle Zhong behind her. She could only trick Su Yiliang.

Uncle Zhong was even more pleased, "Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful! Father is kind and son is filial. This is the source of family prosperity!"

Su Wenqing, who was walking in front, paused, then said without looking back: "Hurry up! Master Li will be going down the mountain soon."

The majestic pavilions, quiet and beautiful pools, pavilions and waterside pavilions are extraordinary, but they still have the beauty of Jiangnan scenery.

The two are fused together, not only are they neither fish nor fowl, but they complement each other.

The tiles are as dense as fish scales, and the eaves of the roof are carved with majestic lions.

Su Yizhao looked around. At this moment, the sound of books was ringing in the house, and the winding path outside the courtyard led to secluded places. From time to time, there were scattered book boys passing by in a hurry.

"The academy is not far from the house. You get up every day when the rooster crows, and after settling down at dawn and dusk, you don't miss going to school." Su Wenqing suddenly said.

Even if he didn't want to stay in the dormitory, Su Yizhao remembered that he had to get up before dawn, and couldn't help but admire the perseverance of these students.

Just as Su Yizhao was about to speak, Su Wenqing stopped in front of him.

Su Wenqing seemed to be a frequent visitor here. The concierge of the academy was very familiar with him and didn't ask any questions when he saw him coming.

They passed through two corridors and then arrived outside a small courtyard.

Su Yizhao took a look and saw that there were lush flowers and plants in the small courtyard. There was a main house with two side rooms. The courtyard was really not big.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Su Yizhao saw a fourteen-year-old boy sitting in front of the main door of the courtyard.

"Zizhu!" Su Wenqing shouted, and the other party immediately stood up.

"It's Master Su Si here, come in quickly! My master has asked me to wait here for a long time!"

The young man put down the small dustpan in his hand, raised his head, and saw Su Wenqing, he was surprised and said.

"Please wait!" Su Wenqing led Su Yizhao towards the courtyard, but Su Yizhao understood what was going on.

It seems that Su Wenqing has already planned to let her study in the academy. Is he confident that the old lady will agree?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's not easy to hold a conversation with you!"

As soon as Su Yizhao and the others were brought into the house by Zi Zhu, a sound of ridicule came from inside.

"That's right! Many literati want to recite poems and compose poems with me, and some want to play chess with me. Can I still be separated?"

Su Wenqing led Su Yizhao straight into the inner room. As Su Yizhao entered, he smiled at Zi Zhu who looked at her curiously several times.

"Humph!" A chuckle passed into Su Yizhao's ears. She raised her eyes and was suddenly surprised again.

As for the master, he must be well-dressed, unsmiling, and quite dignified.

However, this person looks bohemian and behaves quite casually.

The futon is meant for sitting on the floor, but this person is reclining on it, so relaxed.

The collar is loose and the hair is messy, as if he just got out of bed.

He was in his forties, but he had an unkempt beard. Looking at Su Wenqing again, he looked like a romantic and elegant scholar. It was really a world of difference.

What's even more striking is that what he holds in his hand is not a tea bowl, but a wine gourd.

Su Yizhao began to doubt in his heart. He was a role model but didn't even take care of his appearance. Is this person really reliable?

"Is this the little son you picked up?" When the man saw Su Yizhao looking at him, he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked at Su Yizhao carefully.

"My son Su Yizhao is the seventh in the family!" Su Wenqing did not meet him outside, but went straight to the futon opposite and sat down cross-legged.

"Xiao Qi! Haven't you seen Master Li yet?" He then remembered that Su Yizhao had not saluted yet, so he reminded him.

"Junior, I pay my respects to Master Li! Master, may you be blessed with good health!" Su Yizhao quickly put away his scrutinizing eyes and bowed respectfully.

"Huh? This temperament is not like yours!" Looking at this well-behaved child, Master Li said in surprise.

Su Wenqing was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I brought him back halfway, but he hasn't been trained yet!"

Su Yizhao: ...If you look like him, it’s over!
