The villain is ruthless

Chapter 589 Don't Take Your Highness ([-])

After dinner, Jiang Zhu went out to wash the dishes, and when he came back, he saw the little prince was practicing calligraphy, and he planned to send him to the academy in the town to study.

It's a pity that the academy in the town is far away from here. If the little prince wants to go, he will not be able to come back often in addition to saving a large sum of money for repairs.

However, staying here all the time is not an option.

Jiang Zhu went into the house and counted the money he had saved in the past two years, and it was almost five taels.

It is enough to hand in a bundle repair, but it is obviously very difficult to do other things.

On the second day, the sky suddenly broke.

Jiang Zhu went to the village to ask about the academy.

The villagers told without hesitation, "Madam Jiang is talking about the Hanshan Academy in the town?"

"Well," Jiang Zhu said, "my younger brother has reached the age to enter school, I want to send him in."

"It's a little troublesome," said the old man beside him, "Hanshan Academy is not an ordinary academy. It went to Tanhua more than ten years ago, and the young people from the surrounding villages wanted to go in, but the admission requirements were strict. Not only must you complete the training, but you must also pass the examinations of at least three masters."

"It's okay if you can get into the eyes of the master. It's easy to study in the academy. If you can't, you can't even pay ten taels of silver."

This Jiang Zhu knew, "Is Hanshan Academy still accepting students this year?"

"Accepted," said a mother-in-law who often does business in the market, "my grandson will go to Hanshan Academy this year, and it will be there in a few days. If Jiang girl makes up her mind, she can go together."

"Thank you, Granny Liang."

Jiang Zhu asked some more precautions, and then he went back to the house unhurriedly.

"Where did you go?" Seeing her returning in a daze, the little prince put down the pen in his hand, complaining slightly, "Going away for so long?"

Jiang Zhu: "...The servant girl went down the mountain and walked around."

"Is there any improvement?" The little prince lowered his head and continued to copy the copybook Jiang Zhu bought back. "Your Highness is hungry when you come back so late."

Jiang Zhu: "..."

After lunch, Jiang Zhu told him about sending him to school, "His Royal Highness is nine years old, and this servant has nothing to teach His Highness, so he thought that His Highness would go to the academy to study, and this servant will be a little boy in the town." Business, then you won’t have to go hungry, and His Highness can learn some knowledge.”

The little prince froze, as if he hadn't expected her to say this, "What...what did you say?"

He raised his head suddenly and fixed his eyes on Jiang Zhu, as if he didn't hear her words clearly.

Jiang Zhu repeated it quickly, with a faint smile on his lips, "Your Highness, I still have some silver here, enough for us to go to town."

The little prince's eyes changed slightly, his face was stunned, as if he was digesting the meaning of her words.

He actually understood what she was saying a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she would think so much for him.

She obviously didn't need to plan for him, but she did it anyway.

He also knows roughly how much silver she has in her hand. When she goes to the town, his Shuxiu alone can make them bankrupt, but she actually tells him here that it doesn't matter, they still have money.

This person... Has this person forgotten that he is the master and the one who should spend money for her...

"Your Highness, don't you...haven't you heard clearly?" Seeing that he looked at him silently, Jiang Zhu was a little worried, afraid that he would not want to go to the town to mess with those brats because of his face.

"My servant knows that the masters in this town are not as knowledgeable as the emperor's teacher. When I have more money, I will definitely hire you a better master."

"Enough." The little prince interrupted her, and said calmly, "Go down, Your Highness."

He is no longer the noble prince, so what is there to dislike?

"We will have a lot of money in the future." He looked deeply at Jiang Zhu, as if he wanted to engrave her image into the depths of his mind, "I swear."

This is the first time he used "I" instead of "His Royal Highness".

As if silently proclaiming something.

Jiang Zhu finally raised the corners of his mouth, and his beautiful peach eyes were also stained with a little smile, "Then His Highness will practice calligraphy first, and the servants will go outside to boil water."

After all, she disappeared from his sight in a few steps.

The little prince did not continue to practice calligraphy, and looked at the copybook on the table with a complicated expression, with a layer of gloom in his eyes.

For these years, he hid deep in the mountains, and those people in the palace probably thought he was dead long ago.

That's good too, and I can give those people enough surprises when I go back.

Time flies to the day of admission.

Jiang Zhu woke up the little prince early in the morning, ate a simple breakfast, and took people and packages to the mountain to ride an ox cart.

Granny Liang and her grandson were waiting at the intersection. When they saw the two coming down, the little prince looked like a fairy boy with red lips and white teeth. Before he got close, he started laughing. .”

Jiang Zhu glanced at the silent little prince, smiled and did not answer.

Granny Liang was not angry either, she turned her eyes around the little prince a few times, and hurriedly dragged her grandson to say hello to the little prince.

"You... what's your name?" Granny Liang's grandson is the same age as the little prince, and he is usually very arrogant in the village. For some reason, he becomes shy when he sees the little prince, "My name is Liang Shao, how about you? "

The little prince glanced at him nonchalantly, he didn't like this bumpkin, and he didn't want to talk to him.

Jiang Zhu gently squeezed his wrist, the little prince glanced at Jiang Zhu, then at Liang Shao, condescendingly said at noon, "Jiang Yang."

The little prince's real name is Xiao Yang.

Xiao is the country's surname, and using his real name is equivalent to revealing his identity. After a calculation, the little prince decided to use Jiang Zhu's surname, which would save a lot of trouble.

Liang Shao finally felt a little happier when he heard the words, he patted his chest and said, "Jiang Yang, you are shorter than me, I will cover you in the academy from now on, I can fight very well, I guarantee that no one will dare to provoke you."

Jiang Zhu: "..."

The little prince: "..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is the academy a place for you to be presumptuous?" Granny Liang couldn't help laughing, but her tone was very kind, "Be honest, don't cause trouble for your mother-in-law."

After all, she told the little prince not to be led away by her grandson, and then she dragged Liang Shao into the bullock cart, and the group headed for the town.

When we arrived at Hanshan Academy, the outside was already full of people.

There are children of eight or nine years old, and teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old. Just like modern times, this place also divides students according to age.

The little prince and Liang Shao belonged to the category that needed basic education, while young people aged [-] or [-] had to work hard for scientific examinations.

Jiang Zhu and the little prince lined up in the queue, and there were three teachers in the academy who were being assessed.

They are all quite well-known scholars, with serious faces, and they have a breeze in their sleeves.

Soon it was about the little prince, Jiang Zhu looked down at him and wanted to encourage him, even if he didn't succeed, it doesn't matter, he can go to another academy.

The little prince seemed to have sensed her thoughts, sneered in his heart, and said, "If I can't even make it through this, why should I study?"

Jiang Zhu: "..." Well, Xueba is amazing!
