”Changqing, as you can see, these students are generation after generation, and instead of thinking about how to conduct their studies, they are preoccupied with other people's affairs. Have you considered my suggestion? ” Ding Shou shook his head and sighed as he stroked his beard. Unlike the poor and poor students, these arrogant and proud Venerable son were the hardest to tame.
A man around the age of twenty followed beside Ding Shou. He wore a crown on his head and had a jade hairpin on top of his head. He was handsome and looked haggard, but after hearing what was said, he bowed to the old man and greeted him respectfully.
”I know what you want to say.”
The old man interrupted: ”Changqing, you are my most prized disciple, I know you very well, but you cannot continue like this, the living can chase after the living, and your father and mother might have done wrong. However, in the end, the favor of rearing a child is greater than the sky, so you have to figure it out for yourself. Since you have nothing to do now, why not listen to your teacher's suggestion to help your teacher revitalize the academy? When you want to return, it's not too late, and your teacher is already old.
”Master, don't say it like that. Master is a great scholar of this world, and Yu Changqing is even more of a benefactor.” Su Changqing bent his waist with an even deeper curve, and said after a pause: ”It's fine for Changqing to agree to my master's request, but it's just that Changqing doesn't understand, why would my master agree to accept Ji Huashang. Aren't you always the most strict with your rules …”
Although it might not be her fault, that woman's actions were too shocking!
Ding Shou's mood did not improve just because the young man agreed to it, he shook his head and sighed: ”If one wants to achieve perfection, then one must follow the rules, and everything has its rules. However, the rules are always in place. These student students can't even be compared to a rebellious girl. This is the old me's fault. As for the little girl you are talking about, Ji Family, I owe her ancestor a favor. ”
Old wait ye had helped him once before, and he had always wanted to repay his kindness, to teach him the ways of humans, and to lead him back onto the right path. This was originally a female academy job, and the laws of Great Ye did not explicitly prohibit females who had passed the fifteenth year from entering the academy, so how could he not have his reasons?
The long corridor was filled with the fragrance of thick ink and books. The slow and unending zither music within the library lingered around one's ears and covered one's ears; it could be said to be a beautiful song.
Only the sound of the zither hid a hint of melancholy.
The lady on the stage took off the last note and stood up. As she was walking down, she accidentally saw An Su who was standing at the main entrance and was slightly startled: ”Hey, you're not Ji Huashang? I remember that your library is in the Xuan Lin Xiao Pavilion and not here. ”Don't you know the way? Let me take you there.”
The woman's voice was gentle and melodious. She was dressed in a bright yellow Hundred Butterfly Dress, with a thin shoulders covered in makeup, and her figure slender. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she had a gentle and beautiful expression.
This was also the first time so far that there was no hostility towards' Ji Huashang '.
An Su glanced at her and was slightly surprised in her heart. She had not appeared outside the academy just now and should not have known about what had happened.
Other than her, who would know in advance where her library was?
An Su pursed her lips and did not answer, but raised her head to look at the signboard suspended above the library's entrance with a look of confusion. She stood there for a moment, but did not turn around and leave, and instead walked in.
She put down the books and other things and went back to wait outside the library.
Coincidentally, Liu Mengyun and a few other girls from aristocratic families also walked in. The moment she saw An Su, Liu Mengyun's face turned green, especially when he saw that she was sitting right next to him, she didn't know if she should retreat or advance.
Being pushed aside by the lady at her side, Liu Mengyun regained her senses, but after sweeping a circle around, she turned around and walked towards another lady who was seated at the opposite side of the table. She stood in front of her, raised her hand and slapped onto the woman's shoulder, and pointed towards her own seat, speaking of orders: ”You, sit over there.”
”But, but, why do I have to sit there?” Nie Li's voice was extremely low, containing a bit of hesitation and confusion. It was obvious that he was afraid.
”Calm down, Miss Liu. I'll go, I'll go right now …”
The woman's voice was laced with tears as she packed up her things. She looked like she was being bullied, but didn't dare to say anything. She hesitated for a while, but she eventually stopped moving.
Originally, great-grandfather had specially ordered her to separate Ji Huashang and the people she had hated before, so as to separate them in different library s. He also wanted to avoid conflict and trouble.
Who would have thought that Ji Huashang would refuse to leave because she couldn't read the book properly? And since Liu Mengyun did not dare to provoke Ji Huashang, she might as well vent her anger on others!
It really was …
Ding Ning helplessly shook his head and looked at the woman. After she returned to her seat, he leaned his head out the window and looked at the huge parasol tree growing on the side of the library s with a blank look. In between her brows, there seemed to be a faint sadness.
As for the girl who was bullied, she drooped her head and wiped tears away from Ding Ning's eyes, she did not know whether or not she had seen Ding Ning's gaze, but her red face was slightly pale as she gritted her teeth and endured, probably being bullied quite a bit. Not far away, a woman's face was filled with worry when she looked over, but her gaze carried a trace of iciness as she gloated.
An Su was still lying on the table with her eyes closed as if she was taking a nap, but she saw all the movements around her. Liu Mengyun was naturally not a kind person, but it was a pity that such a good name had fallen onto her shoulders.
This was not surprising.
