Chapter 546: Go for it, Daddy can take care of it (1)
The changes in their expressions were so obvious that they naturally could not escape the eyes of those around them.
Leng Shuyu looked at the unusual joy on their faces, a cold light flashed across his eyes. He cursed them in his heart as "pretending" and planned to turn around and go back to his room.
However, Wang and Lin's next actions attracted everyone's attention.
After they exchanged a glance, they restrained their overflowing joy at the same time, but the excitement and anticipation in their eyes that were difficult to conceal were still obvious.
Just as Wang Cheng was frantically hiding the paper ball into his waistband, Lin Yuzan hurriedly pulled him out without saying a word, and almost stumbled and fell because of his hasty movements.
From beginning to end, the two did not utter a word, but the students in the academy were filled with curiosity. They could not help but look at each other in confusion.
Chen Yang couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He walked to Leng Shuyu's side and whispered with a bit of jealousy, "Junior Brother Lin is now a father who is honored by his daughter. His daughter was named Princess Le'an by the Emperor. From now on, I'm afraid he will be as arrogant as Junior Brother Wang."
Leng Shuyu's eyes were always on the place where Wang Cheng walked past. In a corner not far away, there was a small white dot lying there.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he did not forget to reply: "Brother Chen, Junior Brother Wang just treats people inappropriately, he is not arrogant. Besides, we are all scholars now, and we cannot predict what will happen in the future. Brother Chen should not belittle himself."
When Chen Yang heard these words of comfort, he just smiled bitterly. Failing the exam once had completely worn away his former arrogance.
At that time, he also noticed Leng Shuyu's eyes, and looked over. Then he frowned and asked softly, "Is that the paper ball that Princess Le'an threw over just now? Why didn't Junior Brother Wang put it away?"
Leng Shuyu glanced at him slightly, then walked towards his room and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry too much. If this thing is important, Junior Brother Wang will pick it up and deal with it properly."
Chen Yang glanced at his friend's departing back, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, he pursed his lips, but still walked towards the little white dot involuntarily.
On the top of Guiyan Pavilion, Qiu Yi was hiding behind the window lattice with a telescope in her hand, and at the same time, she was reporting to her young master in real time: "Princess, the master and the uncle ran away without saying a word. Your plan won't fail, right?"
"what?"
Little Yining ran to her side and wanted to look down again, his little head starting to work rapidly.
Doesn’t her father approve of this way of publicity?
What to do next?
Do I have to wait until the ten-day holiday, go and "thank" the male protagonist in person, and then use the opportunity to bring up this matter?
But by then, the fathers of her classmates should have already spread the matter secretly!
Zhao Ya, who was standing by, saw the child's troubled look and stepped forward to comfort him, "Princess, you can see the master and uncle every day anyway. If you have any questions, you can ask them in person."
Of course Xiao Yining knew that if she didn't understand something, she should just ask. However, she had a strong premonition that these two old men would be several times stricter with her in the future than before. Whether it was by words and deeds or by using facts to prove her point, she would definitely hear long lectures every day.
The easy days seem to be slipping away!
The little girl thought gloomily, and finally couldn't help but raise her head and confide her worries to Zhao Ya: "Madam Zhao, but my father and uncle have become fierce today. They will definitely blame Qingjie for being stupid."
"How could that be? The princess is the smartest child I have ever seen in my life." Zhao Ya's eyes were full of love and trust, and she comforted her softly.
Little Yining sighed like a little adult. At this moment, an excited voice came from below: "The Emperor is going to hold an imperial examination?"
The little girl's face instantly brightened up because of the shout, and she quickly put her ear to the wall to listen to the noise below.
Seeing this, Zhao Ya smiled and continued to talk to the little boy, "Look, Princess, the master and uncle both think you are doing the right thing!"
For some reason, when Xiao Yining heard this, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart. That feeling was even more joyful than getting an excellent evaluation.
She quietly leaned her head out and gazed at the students who were crying with joy below. She seemed to be infected by their emotions and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
The water in Yanjing began to ripple quietly because of the little boy's deliberate actions, and the two people who were pushed by the flow returned to Linglong Courtyard again.
It was late at night and Xiao Yining had already fallen asleep.
Lin Yuzan gently lifted the bed curtain and carefully adjusted his daughter's sleeping position with her butt facing the sky. He then quietly gazed at his daughter's obedient sleeping face. After a moment, he slowly shook his head and closed the bed curtain.
He paced to the second floor and hid in the darkness with Wang Cheng, looking down at the quiet Hanqiu Courtyard below.
When the two of them returned just now, the people in Hanqiu Courtyard gradually restored the calm that was trying to hide, and with the undercurrent surging, they all returned to their houses and concentrated on studying hard.
Now, there are still a few candles standing stubbornly, emitting a faint light through the window, and they are not afraid even of the ghosts that disturb people's dreams.
Wang Cheng glanced at his old rival and said with emotion, "Back then, we both knew that studying was not easy. We turned a deaf ear to the outside world and were not easily approached by conspiracies and intrigues. But now these people have their own ulterior motives. The temptation of fame and fortune has deceived their eyes and hearts, and tarnished this place of saints. Ten years of hard study were almost ruined by their own hands. Now, they are clinging to Enke as a life-saving straw, trying to turn the tide."
Lin Yuzan also recalled the peaceful time in Yunfei Academy in the past, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "I didn't expect that Sister Qing would reveal the matter of the special examination before me. Although the method is a bit straightforward, it allows the two of us to enjoy this moment of peace for a day."
Wang Cheng raised his lips slightly, showing a little pride: "Sister Qing is like me, so she is naturally very smart. She is looking forward to me passing the imperial examination for her and coming back. She also doesn't want me to be disturbed by the troubles in Hanqiu Courtyard."
Lin Yuzan: ...
He couldn't help but roll his eyes and sneer at this self-talking, shameless guy.
Just as the two were about to quarrel again, a light sound of footsteps was heard behind them.
Lin Yuzan looked sideways and saw Zhao Ya standing respectfully not far away. He was surprised and asked quickly, "Madam Zhao, are you here to tell me about Sister Qing?"
Zhao Ya raised her eyes slightly, smiling, and nodded slightly: "I just came here to ask for your advice, Master. Now that the young lady is a princess, she can't be treated the same as before. I wonder how the master wants me to teach her, to be strict or to go along with her."
Lin Yuzan smiled when she heard this: "Madam Zhao, you are a little strict. Qingjie's words and actions in the future will be watched by everyone, and she must not make any mistakes. I hope Madam will take the trouble to be more patient and point out any inappropriate behavior of Qingjie so that she can correct it in time."
Zhao Ya nodded in understanding: "Master, don't worry. I just want to say a few words to you and my uncle. I hope you two masters will not blame me for being too talkative."
When Wang and Lin heard this, they couldn't help feeling a little confused. After looking at each other, they nodded to indicate that she could speak freely.
Zhao Ya lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I have been serving the young master for more than a year. During this period, I often witnessed how strict the two masters were in teaching the young master. The degree of their teachings was even far beyond that of the nobles in the palace. At first, I did not understand, but as I became closer to the young master, I gradually realized that the young master was extremely smart and clever, and I understood a little bit."
Zhao Ya paused for a moment, then raised her head again and continued with a firm gaze, "I have been in the palace for decades, and I am used to seeing how the queens urged the princes and princesses to make progress, and the princes and princesses also lived up to the queens' expectations. However, those are just appearances. There are some things that only people of low status like us can understand a little bit."
Lin Yuzan immediately understood the deep meaning of his words - overcorrection will lead to the opposite effect.
A thought flashed through his eyes, and then he bowed humbly, "Madam Zhao, although I have been a teacher in the clan school, this is my first time being a father, and I have no elders to teach me. You can say whatever you want, don't hesitate."
Zhao Ya was silent for a moment, then got straight to the point: "The young master is still young, but he is as steady as you. Master, you should have noticed that the young master rarely complains to you about girls' education. Forgive me for being frank, but this is not a good thing. The late emperor had 28 children, and he once said: Children don't talk not because they don't want to, but because they don't have anyone to help them."
