Chapter 1,139 The original persons fault went to the Imperial College
Early in the morning, magpies were chirping outside.
The five masters and servants of the house all stayed in bed and refused to get up.
It was the nanny Li who felt something was wrong and was afraid of gas poisoning, so she ordered someone to open the door, which woke Su Mingzhe out of his sweet dream:
"Mother Li, what time is it now?"
"Second Master, it's almost time now!"
When Nanny Li heard that her master was fine, she felt a little relieved. Then she wanted to go in, but Su Mingzhe quickly stopped her:
"Mother Li, I have Qingwen and the other four waiting for me, so I won't bother you. You go out first and we'll be back soon!"
After drinking away Aunt Li, Xi Ren, She Yue and Qiu Wen frowned and had to endure the discomfort to wait on the bed for their second master to wash himself.
Su Mingzhe still felt sorry for his woman, so he called Qingwen, who was still angry, and asked her to serve him alone:
"You three, just take a day off. When the old lady asks, I'll tell you that I'm in a strange place and I'm not used to sleeping. You waited on me all night and I didn't sleep well. I don't think the old lady will blame you."
The three Xiren women felt happy after hearing the man's words of love for her, and lay down again.
Qingwen waited on Su Mingzhe alone to wash up, dress properly, and come to the old lady, Mrs. Wang, to say hello.
As expected, the old lady asked why there was only one Qingwen waiting for her.
Su Mingzhe excused himself, and neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang were surprised.
After dinner, Su Mingzhe and Sister Lin said goodbye and went to the Jia Family School, leaving Qingwen behind to take care of Xiren's three daughters.
In fact, direct descendants of large families like Rong Guofu all have specially hired tutors.
It was just that Jia Baoyu was naughty and mischievous and drove away his teacher in anger. Jia Zheng was too embarrassed to hire more people, so he asked Jia Baoyu to study in the clan and live for a few years.
The teacher of the Jia family is Jia Dairu of the Jia family.
Jia Dairu was admitted as a scholar when he was young, but later he failed the exam seven or eight times. In addition, the death of his son made him suffer a great blow.
Su Mingzhe rode a pony and came to the clan school, served by his followers Li Gui and Xiaosi Mingyan.
When he arrived, he saw that his third brother Jia Huan and nephew Jia Lan had already arrived, as well as some other playmates, all coming to say hello.
Su Mingzhi followed the posture of a green forest hero and returned the salute with cupped fists, which attracted bursts of applause.
Not long after.
Jia Dairu entered the school with the support of his grandson Jia Rui.
As in the past, Jia Dairu first checked everyone's homework.
Su Mingzhe naturally responded fluently. When Jia Dairu saw this, he also comforted him and praised:
"Brother Ying, you have almost learned these four books. Tomorrow, you should ask the second master to hire a serious master for you!"
People carry people in sedan chairs.
These days in clan studies, Confucian masters and grandsons of Jia Dynasty take good care of him. Su Mingzhe naturally reciprocates the favor and responds:
"Grandpa taught me well!"
Soon, the day's study is over.
When Su Mingzhe returned to Rongguo Mansion and paid greetings to Jia Zheng, he conveyed Jia Dairu's words.
Jia Zheng still didn't believe it, so he immediately called several Qing guests to test his son together.
Su Mingzhe naturally responded fluently.
When Jia Zheng saw this, he was also secretly happy. He just said that his son had enlightened, and immediately promised:
"In that case, in the next few days, my father will invite a master to come back for you. But this time, you can't be naughty again?"
"If you dare to act nonsense again, be careful I will break your legs!"
"My son doesn't dare!"
Su Mingzhe answered honestly and happily went to play with Sister Lin since he no longer had to go to school.
It’s no wonder that Su Mingzhe behaved like this today. After meeting Sister Lin, he looked like a pile of stinky shit when he went to see his playmates from Jiajia Academy!
Even the actors and actresses outside are not good-looking.
Even the three well-behaved sisters are no longer attractive.
The only thing that hasn't changed is probably that the sky in Rongguo Mansion is still blue.
I feel like I won’t be bored even if I stay here for another hundred years.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
As usual, Su Mingzhe came to Rongxi Hall to pay his respects to his father Jia Zheng.
Jia Zhengzhao first asked the Qing guests about their lessons.
Su Mingzhe answered fluently as before.
This time, Jia Zheng did not let his son leave like before, but asked:
"Ying'er, you're staying in the west wing these days, right?"
"Yes, father!"
Su Mingzhe didn't know what Jia Zheng wanted to ask, so he could only answer respectfully.
Jia Zheng was silent for a moment and then asked again:
"I heard that you are looking for medical books to read these days?"
"Yes, father!"
Su Mingzhe looked at Jia Zheng and frowned deeply, fearing that this old man would teach him a lesson again, so he quickly replied:
"When children study medical books, they only go to see them after completing their studies!"
The purpose of his search for medical books was not to read them, but to pave the way for him to demonstrate his medical skills in the future.
After hearing his son's explanation, Jia Zheng was not angry at all, but said seriously:
"Ying'er, my father has been testing your homework these past few days and found that you have read all the four books and five classics. Although some of the explanations are not fluent, you are also quite insightful."
"My father has been thinking about it for a long time and is planning to send you to study in the Imperial College. Are you willing?"
"Going to study in the Imperial College? Didn't you ask for a tutor?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned. He was only twelve years old. He was going to live on campus now?
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that!"
Hearing his son mention tutors, Jia Zheng immediately thought of the looks he had received when he hired tutors in the past few days. His face suddenly turned gloomy and ferocious:
"If you hadn't driven away the former tutor, why would you have allowed me to be looked down upon by others outside..."
"The original person is taking the blame again!"
When Su Mingzhe faced Jia Zheng's insults, he could only bear it shamelessly and did not dare to say anything more.
Soon, after Jia Zheng scolded him, he decided that his son would go to the Imperial College to study.
However, the Imperial College admissions are held in spring and autumn. It is early November now, and Su Mingzhe can continue to stay and play in Rongguofu for more than two months.
After leaving Rongxi Hall, Su Mingzhe went to the small courtyard next to him to pay his respects to his mother, Mrs. Wang.
When Mrs. Wang saw her son, she hugged her son and cried bitterly.
Obviously, Jia Zheng had already discussed with Mrs. Wang about Su Mingzhe going to the Imperial College.
Since the eldest son Jia Zhu passed away early due to exhaustion from studying.
Mrs. Wang regarded her only son as more important than herself.
But now, my father wants to force his second son to follow the same path as his eldest son, forcing him to continue taking the imperial examination.
How could Mrs. Wang not feel uncomfortable and distressed?
However, in this era, it is the right way for men to study and take the imperial examination.
Mrs. Wang had no reason to refuse, so she could only hold her son and cry loudly.
As a son, Su Mingzhe could only comfort his mother.
After Mrs. Wang's mood stabilized, Su Mingzhe came to Mrs. Jia's courtyard to say hello.
He originally thought that Jia Mu would love him as much as his mother, Mrs. Wang, and would not want to leave.
Unexpectedly, Jia Mu looked calm, took her sweet grandson's hand, and asked:
"Baoyu, tell your grandmother, do you want to go to the Imperial College to study?"
When Su Mingzhe heard Jia Mu's question, he subconsciously looked at the pretty beauty next to him. When the beauty saw her cousin looking at him, she immediately lowered her head shyly.
"My grandson is willing!"
Mother Jia naturally noticed her sweet grandson's eye movements, but she didn't care.
After all, in her old age, she has seen life, death, and separation. Although she is reluctant to leave her sweet grandson, she will not stop her.
She even wanted to help her grandson for his future.
I saw that she ordered someone to call her granddaughter-in-law Li Wan.
Not long after, Li Wan arrived, and Jia Mu asked her to write a letter to her in-laws, Li Shouzhong, asking her in-laws to help find someone to take care of her darling grandson.
Li Shouzhong was originally the principal of the Imperial Academy, the first university in Daqing, but was later transferred to Bashu to serve as the supervisor of academic affairs.
The Superintendent of Academic Affairs, also known as the Superintendent of Academic Affairs, is one of the highest-ranking officials in a province.
According to the usual practice, the Imperial College held a banquet and held academic affairs. After returning to the capital, he would inevitably join the ranks of the third-ranking court officials.
Judging from this practice, if nothing unexpected happens to Li Shouzhong, his future is limitless.
Jia's mother asked Li Shouzhong to take care of her darling grandson, which was considered a favor.
Faced with Jia Mu's 'request', Li Wan naturally did not dare to disobey him. He immediately found pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a letter, and ordered two servants to accompany him to Bashu to deliver the letter.
The capital of Daqing is Chang'an.
It takes a month to send a letter from Chang'an to Bashu and back again.
It's early November now.
When Li Shouzhong returns from sending the letter, it should be in the twelfth lunar month, and it will not delay Su Mingzhe's enrollment next spring.
Su Mingzhe remembered that he only had more than two months left at home, so he cherished the time spent with Sister Lin.
