After Master Zhuang reprimanded Zheng Siye, he went back to the imperial study to appease His Majesty.
The strategy he adopted was to never deny Zheng Siye's fault, but as the saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish. The tricks that can be seen are better than those that are invisible. Moreover, this is also an old account from a few years ago. Zheng Siye has never acted like this again, proving that this person has a heart of remorse.
I implore Your Majesty to give him a chance to reform himself.
Furthermore, Guozijian belongs to the embarrassing stage of the inexorable age, and there is no one more suitable for the position of sacrifice than Zheng Siye.
After all, Li Siye is younger, his qualifications are not enough, and his methods are even more inexperienced, so he can't control the old stubborn.
Sometimes it is someone like Zheng Siye who is slick and skilled, who can become a sharper knife that can cut through thorns for His Majesty.
How about Mrs. Zhuang's ability? From the perspective of analyzing the problem, most people really don't dare to say that.
But His Majesty felt that this was a solid nest, and he also hoped that the court in Zhao Kingdom would be clear and bright, but just as Mrs. Zhuang said, a knife that is too honest is too dull, not easy to use, and a knife that is too sharp. How many strokes are there.
It's too hard to find a knife that is sharp and will never hurt you.
If only the old sacrificial wine was there...
In the end, His Majesty was appeased, and he retained Zheng Siye's official position and the decision to appoint him as a sacrificial wine a few days later, and only fined him half a year's salary as an example.
It was said to the outside world that the ledger was actually forged and used to slander Zheng Siye.
Zheng Siye was guarding outside the palace, and when he saw Taifu coming out, he bowed reverently: "The Taifu has rebuilt the subordinate officer with kindness, and the subordinate official will definitely go through fire and water for the Taifu in the future, and he will do whatever he wants!"
Master Zhuang said coldly, "Don't think that Your Majesty will rest easy if he doesn't hold you accountable. Don't act recklessly in the future, and ask others to take hold!"
Zheng Siye broke out in cold sweat, bowed and said, "Yes, I remember it."
Master Zhuang said again: "There is also the matter of the monthly exam, you have to think of a way to pass it!"
"… Yes!"
Zheng Siye returned to the Imperial College with a toothache.
Xiao Liulang was sitting under the shade of a tree to tutor Lin Chengye, and when he saw Zheng Siye rushing over, he gave him a faint glance.
Zheng Siye suddenly had an intuition, Xiao Liulang did this!
But that's weird isn't it
The exam papers for the monthly exam are hidden in the dark compartment behind the murals, and the account books are hidden in the secret room of Minghui Hall. Where did Xiao Liulang come from, Tongtian, who knew so many secrets of him, how could he sneak into Minghui Hall without being guarded by the servants? Find
Zheng Siye's heart seemed to be blocked by a fire, so that he couldn't get up or down.
Xiao Liulang looked away casually, looking at him too much.
Zheng Siye was properly irritated. Regardless of whether it was this kid or not, he hated him completely!
It's just that he can't do anything to this kid again!
"Ah, Zheng, Siye." Lin Chengye found the other party.
Xiao Liulang handed the revised test paper to Lin Chengye, and circled the places where he was not detailed enough. Then Xiao Liulang looked at Zheng Siye lightly: "Is Zheng Siye here to apologize?"
"Dao, what apology?" Zheng Siye was taken aback.
Xiao Liulang lightly brushed his wide sleeves, and said casually: "My paper, I seem to be right on every question, how did Zheng Siye set my grades? Is it really as rumored that Zheng Siye is Targeting me on purpose?"
Yeah, what am I doing to you
You have the ability to bite me!
An hour ago, Zheng Siye dared to say that, but now he can't.
Zheng Siye said without a smile: "I told them the first positive number that day. I don't know why they misunderstood and made you the last one."
"Oh." Xiao Liulang raised his eyebrows, "Why bother Zheng Siye to change his grades?"
Zheng Siye's fists clenched, and the veins on his forehead jumped violently: "... Change it, change it now!"
Not only did Zheng Siye have to change Xiao Liulang's grades, but he also had to apologize to Xiao Liulang in public. This was the death order given to him by Master Zhuang.
If he can't even bear this humiliation, then he doesn't deserve to be the knife in Master Zhuang's hand.
Zheng Siye felt so happy when he bullied Xiao Liulang, and how loud the slap he slapped him with his apology.
Zheng Siye clenched his fists tightly: "You wait for me, and one day I will be a sacrificial wine for the Imperial College..."
You are beautiful!
Meng Xue left school earlier than Guozijian, and Xiao Jingkong usually did his homework in the classroom and waited for Xiao Liulang to pick him up.
The last class of today's spontaneity class is self-study, so you can skip it.
Xiao Liulang went to Mengxue to pick up Xiaojingkong.
"You're skipping class again!" Xiao Jingkong looked at him on his hips.
"No class." Xiao Liulang said.
Xiao Jingkong held his arms in his arms and looked serious: "Isn't a self-study class a class?"
Xiao Liulang: Are you the parent or am I the parent
"Let's go." Xiao Liulang grabbed his schoolbag and let him carry it.
Xiao Jingkong didn't understand the bewildering behavior of adults, but he wanted Jiaojiao so much, so he carried the schoolbag that Jiaojiao made for him, and followed the bad brother-in-law out of Guozijian.
People come and go on Chang'an Avenue.
Today, the little brother who sells candied haws has changed his place, which happens to be not far from their residence.
Xiao Liulang looked at the glittering candied haws not far away, and asked Xiao Jingkong, "Do you want to eat candied haws?"
Xiao Qingkong: "Yes!"
Xiao Liulang: "I won't buy it for you."
Small Clearance: "… "
This is the second adult confusion behavior that Xiao Qingkong does not understand.
But he wasn't easy to bully either.
He stopped, crossed his waist, and said fiercely, "I'm going to give you a rent increase!"
Xiao Liulang: Do you still know about rent increases? !
In the end, Xiao Jingkong didn't get his candied fruit as he wished, because the bad brother-in-law was diligent, and the last bunch had been sold out in the past.
Crazy little headroom!
Oops, I'm so upset!
It's not easy to go out with an adult!
With a dark face, Xiao Jingkong slowly returned home.
When he was about to turn into Bishui Hu, a trembling voice suddenly came from the front: "A... A-Heng?"
The voice was a little old, with excitement and tremors that seemed to come from the soul.
Xiao Liulang's body suddenly froze.
He didn't look up.
He was holding a cane in one hand, and with the other hand, he took Xiaojingkong's hand and quickly dragged him into Bishui Hutong.
"Oh, I don't want you to lead me! I'll go by myself!"
It was the small voice of Xiao Qingkong's resentment.
"A, A-Heng!"
The old man took steps to catch up, the road was slippery, and he almost fell.
Fortunately, Liu Quan, the steward on the side, supported him in time: "Master, be careful! It's snowing in the capital these past few days, and the road is icy, so don't fall!"
The old man was shaking with excitement: "Did you see it just now?"
"Who did you see?" Liu Quan asked.
"A-Heng!" said the old man.
"Master A-Heng? Is Xiao Jijiu? Master, are you dazzled? Xiao Jijiu has passed away." Liu Quan was the old man's servant. Although he had been with the old man for many years, he had been helping the old man with household affairs, and he did not go there. After going to Guozijian, I never saw the rumored young man offering wine.
"A-Heng..." The old man looked at the empty Bishui Hutong, feeling lost for a while.
Liu Quan said distressedly: "Master, maybe it's just people with similar looks."
The old man shook his head.
If it was a stranger, then he would subconsciously raise his head to take a look when he heard someone call him, not the reaction just now.
He clearly heard his own voice.
He was too caught off guard, so he didn't have time to hide it, so he just ran away in order not to let himself notice his strangeness.
"It's A-Heng! It's him!" The old man couldn't calm down for a long time. He tried to recall, "He seems to be wearing the uniform of the Imperial College."
Liu Quandao: "That's even more impossible, right? How could Xiao Jijiu become a student of Guozijian?"
He is a juvenile sacrificed by His Majesty!
The old man also found it strange, but no matter how strange it is, it is better to see it: "Anyway, go and find out. Also, I saw him with a cane, and his legs and feet seem to be injured."
"Yes, sir." Liu Quan responded helplessly.
There are many students in Guozijian, and it is not easy to inquire about a prisoner, but it is not so difficult to inquire about a lame prisoner.
Especially because of Zheng Siye, Xiao Liulang became famous in Guozijian. In just half a day, Liu Quan inquired about Xiao Liulang's situation clearly.
Liu Quan: "Speaking of which, this supervisor has a good relationship with us. He studied in Tianxiang Academy, and he lives in the little benefactor's village!"
The old man: "What's his name?"
Liu Quan: "Xiao Liulang."
The old man was startled: "Is it him?"
Of course, the old man has heard this name. When he settled in Tianxiang Academy, Dean Li called Xiao Liulang to Zhongzheng Hall more than once.
He also read Xiao Liulang's article and felt that this son was too hostile to accept him as a disciple.
He was behind the screen the whole time, and he didn't come out to look at the other person's face.
If he came out to see it once, wouldn't he have found out that he was A-Heng
He didn't hear his voice because the seventeen-year-old boy had changed his voice.
But what about handwriting and style
The gentle and jade-like young man in the past seemed to have become an indifferent and hostile person overnight, and he also changed his identity.
What happened to his A-Heng
However, after Xiao Jingkong was dragged home by his brother-in-law, he silently rated it as the third adult's confusing behavior.
"Why did you run away?" he asked, looking up.
"I didn't run away, I just walked faster." Xiao Liulang said without changing his face.
Xiao Jingkong asked, "Why do you walk fast all of a sudden? Don't you know that you will fall if you walk too fast? The two of us... are the easiest people in the family to fall!"
How fast can you go, don't you have any points in your heart
Xiao Jingkong said again: "That old grandfather called you A Heng just now. Which Heng is he? The domineering Heng? Or the cold-browser Heng?"
Xiao Liulang said: "These two are a cross. Also, you heard wrong, he is not calling me."
"Oh." Xiao Jingkong was lost, but there was no routine.
Xiao Liulang changed the subject: "Don't be long-winded, learn Chen Guoyu today, have you finished all the homework assigned to you yesterday?"
Since Xiao Jingkong got a low score in the entrance exam, he has started a tragic experience of making up for foreign languages after school every day.
Xiao Jingkong's attention was successfully diverted, and he dug out his homework from his schoolbag: "Of course it's done! Do you think I'm you? You need someone to poke it to move! If you don't push you, you're still in the bottom of the exam. one!"
Xiao Liulang: "..."
The penultimate stalk is not over, isn't it
Xiao Liulang checked his homework, and there were basically no mistakes. He was also teaching, but he had to say that teaching Xiao Qingkong was much more labor-saving than teaching Lin Chengye.
"Ah-Heng..." Xiao Jingkong suddenly imitated the old ladies outside, pointed Xiao Lanhua's fingers, and called Xiao Liulang in a tone of voice.
Xiao Liulang shivered all over, and was stunned by the thunder!
He, he'd better teach Lin Chengye!
However, after seeing Xiao Liulang in person, the old man couldn't calm down for a long time. He intuitively told him that it was his A-Heng, but all the information about Xiao Liulang showed that he was a complete stranger.
In order to find out the truth, the old man decided to visit in person.
He remembered that the two of them disappeared in Bishui Hutong that day, and as for which house they were in, they had to go to the door one by one to find them.
He found a day off for the Imperial Child Prison.
Today, Qinghe Academy is also closed for ten days.
But the four men in the family were not idle, and they all followed Gu Jiao to do the New Year's goods.
So when the old man came to their house, the house was empty.
The door was closed.
This is the door the old lady left for her poker friends.
"Excuse me, is Xiao Liulang there?"
The old man asked politely.
No answer.
The old man guessed that the person was behind, thought for a while, and walked in: "I'm looking for Xiao Liulang, is he at home?"
The old lady was sitting in the backyard eating melon seeds, and when she heard the movement, she thought it was her poker friend, and looked back.
Huh
An old man
New to poker
Looking for a card game
The old man also saw the old lady, and his reaction was much more than that of the old lady.
Queen Mother
He knelt down with his legs soft!
Old lady: . . . It doesn't have to be.
Do you still have a monthly pass
Can you vote for Jiaojiao
Bow thanks!
