After crying hard, Master Yang calmed down a little. He wiped away his tears and coaxed his daughter in a low voice: "Ningxue, from now on you and mother will live here together, okay?"
Of course Jiang Ningxue was absolutely willing, but when she thought of the one hundred and twenty taels of silver, she became worried and anxious: "Miss Third said that she wanted to buy me back with silver. Mom, all your previous silver has been sent back to the Jiang family. Where can I find so much money now?"
After the knot in her heart was resolved, Jiang Ningxue became much closer to Master Yang than before, clutching Master Yang's sleeve tightly and refusing to let go.
Master Yang was very happy and laughed softly: "I have already told the third lady. These silvers are considered as two years of cultivation. Lan Xi and Yuan Zhou are both my disciples."
"From now on, you will also read and practice calligraphy and melodies with me."
"Mom has owed you many years, and now I can finally make up for it."
Jiang Ningxue's eyes turned red when she heard this.
Did her mother owe her anything? It was she who owed her mother!
Master Yang said softly: "You have been sold by the Jiang family. You don't need to be surnamed Jiang in the future. How about you take your mother's surname Yang?"
Jiang Ningxue nodded vigorously: "Okay, from now on, my name will be Yang Ningxue."
The Jiang family are ruthless and ruthless, and her surname will never be Jiang again. Even if the Jiang family comes to find them, she will never recognize them again.
Master Yang didn't expect his daughter to agree so easily. He was surprised and happy, and hugged his daughter again: "Ningxue, you are really sensible."
Xie Mingxi’s method is indeed excellent!
Jiang Ningxue, no, it’s time to call her Yang Ningxue now. She has only been in Xie Mansion for more than a month, and it’s like she has been reborn.
…
On the same day, Master Yang returned to Lianchi Academy to pack his clothes.
After hearing the news, Chief Gu Shan came, and Master Ji, Master Su, and Master Lian also came to help.
The gloom in Master Yang's brows was swept away, and his brows and eyes were filled with joy.
Seeing this, Chief Gu Shan felt quite relieved and asked: "You and Ningxue are living and dining out, do you have enough money? If not, just talk to me."
Master Yang hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Master Shan, for your kind words. Ningxue and I, how can we use up all ten taels of silver?"
Master Ji smiled and said: "The mountain chief has sent someone to the Yamen to say hello. Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang will stay in jail for at least half a year. During these six months, the Jiang family will have too much time to take care of themselves and will never dare to come to you again."
Half a year was enough for mother and daughter to regain their relationship as before. Even if the Jiang family came to find them, Yang Ningxue would not go with them.
Master Yang solemnly thanked the mountain leader again and said, "Thanks to the mountain leader for his efforts, the Jiang family was sent away this time. I really shouldn't repay such a great favor."
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "It's not difficult to thank me. From now on, you can stay at Lianchi Academy and teach students, and always think about setting up a small private school."
Master Gu's joke made the thin-skinned Master Yang blush, and the other masters also laughed.
Master Su smiled softly and said: "This matter was all Xie Mingxi's idea. This girl is not old, but her actions are sophisticated and meticulous. If Master Yang hadn't said it, even we wouldn't have guessed what happened. It was written by Xie Mingxi."
Master Ji and Master Lian were also filled with emotion.
It is not difficult to take Yang Ningxue away, but the difficult thing is not to make the Jiang family suspicious, but also to make Yang Ningxue change her mind.
Even if they take action on this matter, they may not be as thorough and meticulous as Xie Mingxi.
Master Yang smiled and sighed, "Isn't that right? To tell you the truth, I have accepted such a huge favor from her, and I don't know how to repay it."
Gu Shanchang smiled and answered: "What's so difficult about this? You just need to teach me all your skills."
…
Even before he became a disciple, he was showing partiality to me openly and openly.
All the masters were very smart people. As time went by, they all got a glimpse of Gu Shanchang's thoughts. Hearing this, they all laughed and joked: "Since Shanchang intends to accept disciples, why not make up his mind early."
"Exactly, since we have seen it, Xie Mingxi may have noticed it too. No wonder he comes to see the mountain director every day. He either delivers homework or asks questions. He is very warm and attentive."
Mr. Lian also made a rare joke: "Xie Mingxi is practicing martial arts with me. She is just a registered disciple. I have not officially accepted her as a disciple. I just don't dare to compete with the mountain chief."
Gu Shanchang is so broad-minded that he didn't get angry when the masters teased him. Instead, he smiled and said: "No rush. There are still two months until the academy competition. I always want to see how Xie Mingxi performs in the academy competition this time, and then
Make a decision."
The annual college competition is coming soon.
According to the habit of Lianchi Academy in previous years, students who will participate in the academy competition must be selected in advance, and targeted "guidance" and "training" will be conducted to strive to surpass the other five major academies and win a good ranking.
When the academy competition was mentioned, all the masters became excited.
"Last year, the Rites and Music Club of our academy ranked first. The Four Books and Five Classics were slightly lower, and also ranked second. Unfortunately, the three subjects of mathematics, archery and imperialism were too weak, and they ranked fourth in the overall ranking."
"For this reason, the other academy chiefs deliberately came to Mr. Gu and said some sarcastic and weird things, not to mention how hateful and annoying they were."
"Especially the president of Songzhu Academy, Meng Shan, speaks the most abominably."
"Isn't that right? In this year's academy competition, we must avenge our shame!"
As a master of arithmetic, Mr. Ji immediately expressed his position: "I will definitely not be at the bottom in arithmetic this year. I will at least be in the top three."
With math geniuses like the Sixth Princess and Xie Mingxi, Master Ji expressed his stance with full confidence.
Lian Fuzi's eyes flashed with determination: "At least one of the two gates of Sheyu must be in the top two."
Master Ji: "..."
Hey, I don’t want to crowd around like this!
Boyu Academy is very good in arithmetic, and Songzhu Academy is also full of masters. Ji Fuzi has been at the bottom every year, and it is very commendable to be among the top three this year.
I never thought that Mr. Lian would be the top two from the first word...
Seeing Mr. Ji's unhappy look, Chief Gu Shan said with a smile: "Having confidence and determination is a good thing. However, just shouting slogans is useless. It must be implemented into actions."
"According to the annual convention, the academy's competition is mainly composed of freshmen. Three students need to be selected for each subject. If a student has expertise in several subjects, he or she can apply repeatedly. In this way, Haitang Academy can have enough freshmen.
The lineup for the academy competition!”
Masters: "..."
They are just shouting slogans!
Chief Gu Shan is really confident! He actually plans to go out as freshmen!
"Captain, are you going to use all the freshmen from Haitang Academy?" Su Fuzi asked in a low voice: "There are also very outstanding students in Lilac Academy, and they achieved excellent results in the academy competition last year. Why not select a few?
This will also prevent the freshmen’s performance from being unstable and affecting their performance..."
"No!"
Shanzhang Gu interrupted Master Su calmly, with a confident light flashing in his eyes: "I believe they will definitely shine and bring glory to our Lotus Pond Academy!"
