"The annual exam is about to take place. Are you sure you will get the first place?"
After a short lunch break, Xie Mingxi went to Chief Gu's house as usual. After Chief Gu finished explaining a piece of history, he asked casually.
Xie Mingxi did not show any humility. She nodded slightly and said, "There should be no problem with a perfect score."
If anyone else had said such words, it would have been an exaggeration, and they would have been ignorant of the truth. From what Xie Mingxi said, it was natural and natural.
A smile flashed in Gu Shanchang's eyes: "Okay, getting full marks in the annual exam will also add glory to my master."
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Gu Shanchang has a somewhat cold temperament, and sometimes he is even unreasonable.
After getting along for a long time, you can appreciate the gentleness under Mr. Gu's cold appearance. He is a respectful teacher and a loving elder who cares about the younger generation.
Even though Xie Mingxi is ruthless and cold-hearted, she respects and loves Gu Shanchang who wholeheartedly protects her. She even has feelings of admiration that she has never spoken out.
Her aunt, Princess Yongning, had already regarded her as a thorn in her flesh.
Her grandfather and father treated her well because she had "a bright future and a bright future" and could bring substantial benefits to the Xie family.
As for Aunt Ding, all she has in mind is her son Xie Yuanting...
No one in her family who should be closest to her truly loves her.
Gu Shanchang, who had no relatives or friends, accepted her as his disciple because of his compassion and love. He taught her wholeheartedly and treated her wholeheartedly.
"If you get full marks in the annual exam, your father and the princess will come to the academy to participate in the parent exchange event."
Gu Shanchang has obviously been thinking about this matter for a long time: "You are outstanding and will bring fame to the Xie family. Your father will definitely look after you in everything. The princess will also be worried and will not dare to deal with you wantonly."
Xie Mingxi felt warm in her heart and said softly: "Master always considers me. Thank you Master!"
Gu Shanchang smiled nonchalantly: "Silly girl, I am your master, and it is only natural that I should consider you."
"It's not like this,"
Xie Mingxi unexpectedly retorted: "No one in this world should be kind to another person wholeheartedly. Parents and children are no exception. Master treats me like this. It is Master's great love. I am very grateful in my heart."
…
I don't know which sentence touched Gu Shanchang's heart.
Gu Shanchang's expression darkened slightly, and he whispered after a while: "What you said makes sense."
"Parents raise and raise children, and they also have certain expectations for their children. They hope that their children will be filial and obey their parents' orders unconditionally. If they don't obey, it is disobedient and unfilial."
"Children also have many demands and expectations for their parents. Once their parents fail to satisfy them, they will become resentful."
"If parents and children are like this, how much more so to others?"
"Back then, because I refused to get married, I broke up with my parents and left the Gu family. If I hadn't been protected by Queen Yu, it would have been very difficult for me to settle down and live my life."
Speaking of this, Gu Shanchang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I had some hope at the beginning. I hoped that my father and mother would come to me out of sorrow. But I just sat and waited, but they didn't come.
regret."
"They only asked my brother to come and tell me that if I am willing to obey their orders and marry Lu Ge's younger brother as my second wife, I can return home."
"At that moment, my heart completely went cold."
"What they were thinking about was me marrying into the Gu family and seeking benefits for the Gu family. They didn't care at all about what I thought, let alone whether I was willing to marry."
"If I marry, I will be a good daughter of the Gu family. If I don't marry, I will be a disobedient and unfilial traitor of the Gu family."
Speaking of this past, Gu Shanchang's tone was no longer as calm as usual, his face was slightly red, and his chest was heaving, showing that he was emotionally excited.
Quite a few people know about this old story of the Gu family, so it's not really a secret.
However, Gu Shanchang never mentioned this in front of others.
Now in front of his close disciple Xie Mingxi, he is willing to expose his own scars.
Xie Mingxi felt the anger of Gu Shanchang, and a stubborn young woman seemed to appear in front of her.
That was Gu Xianzhi when he was young, stubbornly and coldly rejecting his brother: "I don't want to get married, and I won't look back on my family again. You go back and tell your parents, just pretend that you never gave birth to a daughter like me!"
…
After a while, Gu Shanchang took a deep breath and calmed down: "Mingxi, you are my first disciple, and I think you will be the only one."
"Now that I have chosen you, I will definitely teach you everything I have learned. I will also do my best to protect you and not let you be bullied."
"Both parents are determined by God. There is no choice. There is no way to get rid of them completely."
"However, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, you can break free and control your own destiny. Just like me when I left the Gu family and created my own world. Wherever I went, I was looked down upon.
Be respected."
"Not only because of my close friend Queen Yu, but also because I am the well-deserved headmaster of Lianchi Academy!"
"I also hope that one day you can stand proudly in front of the world and say that I am Xie Mingxi, not just the third lady of the Xie family. Even if you get married and have children, you cannot lose yourself and become mediocre and disgusting!"
This is the ardent expectation of a master for his direct disciples.
He is also an elder and has the most sincere concern for the younger generation.
Xie Mingxi's eyes were slightly hot, and there seemed to be a surging torrent in her heart, impacting her strong and cold heart.
"Master," after a long while, Xie Mingxi finally spoke: "Actually, I am not as weak and helpless as you think. In the Xie family, even though I am a concubine, no one dares to insult me in the slightest."
"The princess has the leverage in my hands, so she doesn't dare to do anything to me."
"Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting intended to harm me. After I found out, Aunt Ding was punished by her father and was banned for half a year. The ban was not lifted until a few days ago. Xie Yuanting was so suppressed by me that he had no desire to learn and was obsessed with reading all day long.
He lives in the princess's mansion and refuses to come back."
"And Xie Yunxi, during the academy competition, ordered the servants of the princess's palace to hide in the dark and attack the horses pulling the cart. However, I was agile and escaped in time, and I was safe. Xie Yunxi angered my father. My father.
I had a big quarrel with the princess over this and completely fell out."
"Now, Xie Yunxi has been brought back to Xie Mansion. My father has sent two maids to guard her. They are watching her every move. She has no chance to harm me."
"My grandparents and my second uncle's family originally lived in Lin'an. I wrote a private letter in my father's voice to ask them to come to the capital. This was to contain the princess."
"My grandfather is in charge of the Xie Mansion, and my grandmother is in charge of the inner house. My grandfather favors me, and my grandmother is also very kind to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Xie Mansion has become my territory."
Therefore, you don't have to be so worried and worried about me all the time.
