Advise you not to be arrogant

Chapter 13 Heart and Obstacles

Emperor Pingyang did not pardon Jiang Shu alone to attend the lectures at the Taiyuan Academy. Half of the disciples of the aristocratic family who were in Taiyang Hall that night were in the academy.

The teacher who taught was Xu Laihong, an old-fashioned literati. It is said that he taught in Kuofu in his early years, and later he was invited to the palace by Emperor Pingyang when he was old.

They lined up to get the classics back from the master.

He knew all the characters in the classics, but the neatly arranged characters on the paper fell into his eyes like a stick was messing around, making it impossible for him to connect them together to understand the meaning of the sentence.

He knew that Lin An was coming to school, so he followed him, but he came by himself, Lin An was lucky, and went directly to Luoyang to study next year, just because he punched him, what would he do?

How could Lin An be such a penny-pinching person when he was young?Wasn't it because he teased himself first?

He thought, "If it's not for... I don't care about you."

Kicking the leg of the table as if venting, he hurriedly ran to the teacher, cupped his hands and said: "Master, the student has a friend who is sick, so he will come to school tomorrow, and he asked the student to get the book for him first. Ask the master to give his books to the students, and the students will send them to him after school."

Jiang Shu's father had studied in the Kuo Mansion, and Xu Laihong and his grandfather were chess friends, so naturally they would not make things difficult for him.

Xu Laihong stroked his white beard, and he laughed angrily, "The emperor told me clearly that there are only you students, who are the so-called 'friends' you speak of?"

Jiang wrote without changing his expression, "To tell you the truth, Master, he is the Marquis of Ding'an."

"Old man, I heard that he will go to Kuofu to study next year." Xu Laihong heard a lot about Jiang Shu from his chess friend Jiang Zhongchun. He felt sorry for this kid and felt that he should be trained to be a better talent.

He pursed his lips, "He heard that the teacher is teaching the class, and it doesn't matter whether he goes to the rich mansion or not, so he doesn't have to look far away."

An Xingchuan popped out of nowhere, "Really?"

Jiang Shu lowered his eyelashes and felt hot on the tips of his ears, "Yeah."

Xu Laihong laughed, "If he doesn't come tomorrow, what should we do?"

"Tomorrow his 'illness' should be cured, and the student promises that he will definitely come." It's not that Jiang Shu is ignorant, although Lin An is a bit stingy, he is not a difficult person to get along with.I was so angry that day that I hit him in a panic, and I should be fine if I apologize again, but at worst... Anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat.

"If you don't come, you will be fined to copy "Thousand Characters" a hundred times." Xu Laihong smiled like an old fox.

Jiang Shu's fingertips trembled, and the hand that took the book hesitated, why don't we just forget it?

Speaking of which, one of the things Jiang Shu hated most in his two lifetimes was writing!I hate writing more than I hate fighting!

On the first day, the Master did not teach, let them familiarize themselves with the contents of the book first.

After leaving the palace, he got into the carriage of the prime minister's mansion, and went directly to the Hou's mansion.

Uncle Li had someone make him a blue cloth bag, which was filled with Lin An's books.He held the cloth bag all the way and his heart was agitated. If Lin An refused, the one hundred times of "Thousand Characters" might kill him.

"Young master is here." The groom knocked on the door and walked along.

Jiang Shu took a deep breath and stepped off the carriage.

"Young master, clothes." Seeing him standing outside the gate in a daze, the groom couldn't help calling.Jiang Shu suddenly turned his head, and then remembered that Taishuyuan had uniform clothes for lectures, which is said to be to infect the sacred atmosphere of books. He took it with one hand, nodded and said: "You go to the front tea shed to rest for a while."

"Yes."

He walked towards the gate of the Marquis Mansion, and the servants in front of the gate were waiting eagerly. Seeing him was like seeing a savior, "Young master, you are finally here!"

Jiang Shu took two steps back in fright, "What is this for?"

The servant kept complaining, "You don't know, after you left that day, Lord Hou was furious and fined dozens of servants in a row, and the slave's salary for the next month was gone! Madam tried to persuade him several times but it was useless. Practicing the gun is like someone robbing him, and I want to stick the stake to death." He leaned in front of Jiang and lowered his voice, "Did you offend him? Be careful, although the Marquis is young You have a bad temper, you will get revenge! Last time..."

"..." Jiang Shu's expression was stiff, and he swallowed, "You still admire your Lord Hou, don't you?"

Jia Ding is an honest man, and he frowned in confusion, "Master Hou has inherited the mantle of Marquis Yuan'an and managed Northern Xinjiang in an orderly manner. He is a well-known hero in Northern Xinjiang. Of course, the slaves worship him..."

"Tsk," the servant sighed, "it's just that he is too moody and stingy, so he deducts his salary every now and then."

"What's your name..." Jiang Shu's voice trembled slightly.

"The slave's name is Zhu San." Zhu San didn't know that the danger was approaching, and was flattered.

"Is there a brother in the family?" If you have an accident, the brother in the family can still take care of your parents.

"Yes. The servant has two older brothers, and a seven-year-old younger sister."

"How is your family?"

"I still have food and clothing..." Zhu San had a bold idea, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and said anxiously: "Although my family is poor, I will never let my sister be a concubine..."

"?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.

Lin An leaned against the edge of the door, and said coldly: "You ask so many questions, don't you want to accept someone as a child bride?"

The sudden voice came out, Zhu San froze all over, and suddenly knelt down, "The slave deserves death!"

He took the time to say: "Where are you going to die? Master Xiangguo's grandson is going to adopt your sister as a child bride. Shouldn't you be grateful to Dade? There is a so-called 'one person can ascend to heaven'. In the future, you will be the brother-in-law of Mr. Xiangguo. I can live with you?"

"The slave must never dare to wishful thinking... Please take back your life, Lord Hou!" How could Zhu San dare to think about the identity of this "brother-in-law"?If he was expelled from the Hou Mansion, what would the whole family do?

Jiang Shu sighed silently, it seemed that Lin An was really angry.He knelt down and patted Zhu San on the shoulder, "I asked about your family background to see that you are capable and steady in doing things, and I want to invite you back to the prime minister's residence."

"Master Hou..."

Lin An stared, "Go back to work? Still want Benhou to send you to Xiangfu?"

Zhu San's heart dropped, "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou! Thank you, young master!"

"Go."

After Zhu San left, Lin An leaned against the doorframe without moving, and asked with a half-smile, "Why did Mr. Xiangguo come to the humble house? If it's to recruit the Zhu family's child bride, I'm sorry I won't accompany you."

"I'm here to find you." Jiang Shu decided to follow him, he couldn't just leave Luoyang in a fit of anger, right?

"Oh, is that so?" The corners of Lin An's lips curled up inadvertently, and he raised his chin pretending to be cold.

"Isn't it the Zhu family's child bride?"

"..." Jiang Shu bowed his head silently.

"Ben Hou guessed right? Please go back." Lin An flicked his sleeves and gritted his silver teeth.

"No." Jiang Shu shouted.Lin An is just a child now, and he wants to follow him.

"I'll give you books." Jiang Shu dug out a few brand new books from the cloth bag.

"No." Lin An cast a glance and refused cleanly.

Jiang Shu tightened his grip on the book, "I heard that you are going to study in Kuofu?"

"Yes."

"Master Xu is the master of the Kuo Mansion, and he teaches very well! The Kuo Mansion is too far away, and it is much colder than Luoyang. Let's go to the Kuo Mansion later." Jiang Shu felt like a stone was blocked in his heart. It's hard.

"The Kuofu is different from the imperial palace, where I can meet more like-minded people, and it is not as lifeless as the imperial palace." Lin An vaguely guessed the purpose of Jiang Shu's visit.

Jiang Shu looked down at the toes, "Is it because I hit you? I apologize to you..."

Lin An's eyes darkened, such complicated eyes were not something a nine-year-old child could have.Deep and heavy, as if it has gone through the wind and frost in the world. What can a child who is only nine years old at most go through?

Lin An didn't deny it, but it wasn't just because of this.

"My father is very powerful. He is an invincible general. Even if he dies in battle, he will not be defeated. But no matter how powerful he is, he is as small as an ant in front of thousands of troops. I don't want to be like him. There are the best in the rich mansion." Your husband is the best private school in Dayan, the emperor, my father, including your father have all studied in Kuofu."

Jiang Shu felt something somewhere.He felt that if he didn't redeem anything at this moment, he would never be able to redeem it in the future.

"There are nine deaths on the battlefield, and you may never come back after you go."

His father was right. One day Jiang Shu would not be able to wait for him. Jiang Shu was afraid of waiting, and even more afraid of not being able to wait, so he simply stopped waiting.Facts proved that he didn't wait for his father, let alone Lin An. He didn't want to move a small stool and sit outside the Prime Minister's mansion every day like when he was a child, waiting for someone who would die outside at some point.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

"I'm not afraid of death." Lin An stood stiffly on the spot, her eyes staring at Jiang Shu brightly.

"I don't want you to die."

"Why don't you want me to die? Didn't you say that being a general is very prestigious?"

"I don't want you to be like my father, let me treat you as dead." Jiang Shu closed his eyes, and the long-sealed wound was uncovered again.

"Why?" Just met by chance, why don't you want me to die?

Lin An's eyes were sore, he strode forward and hugged Jiang Shu in his arms, buried his head in the crescent of his neck, and laughed twice, "What does it look like to cry and cry, give the book to Benhou, and Benhou will go."

In front of the nine-year-old Lin An, Jiang Shu felt that he was more like a child.

The next day, Tai Academy.

Master Xu put a stack of papers on his desk with a pleasant smile, "I asked the emperor last night, and there was no such thing. However, I will be exempted from doing it a hundred times. After school, I will copy it five times before leaving."

"..." Five times...one time is enough to kill him!
