Gu Jiao went back to the house to check on Gu Yan's body, and told him the good news of finding the operating room. Gu Yan's head rested on Gu Jiao's lap and fell asleep in peace.
Silent night.
In a courtyard of the mansion of Su Mansion, after Mu Qingchen showered and changed, she came to sit beside the bed with her long black hair loose, opened the door of the bedside table, and took out a brocade box from inside.
Inside the brocade box is a shabby little puppet with a big mouth, fangs, blind eyes, and bald hair.
Early the next morning, after taking a shower, Gu Jiao went to check Gu Yan's pulse as usual.
There are more old men and more horses in the family. Occasionally, Xiao Jiu will fly over from the inner city to jump around. The house is lively, and Gu Yan is not so boring anymore.
Gu Jiao was relieved to go to school with Gu Xiaoshun.
Today, Mu Qingchen was sitting in the last row. Gu Jiao didn't want to sit with him at first, but Gu Jiao sadly found that except for Mu Qingchen, who emptied the back row with his aura that no strangers would enter, there was no way to find him in the class. to any clean place.
Gu Jiao looked to the left, Zhong Ding was waving at her.
Gu Jiao looked to the right, Zhou Tong was waving at her.
Gu Jiao thought about it for a while, and sat down beside Mu Qingchen with her book bag covered.
Zhou Tong sat in front of Gu Jiao, he weakly took out his homework, slap!
Mu Qingchen threw her homework on the table in front of Gu Jiao.
Zhou Tong cowardly turned his half-turned body back.
After Gu Jiao finished copying her homework, Master Gao came.
In the morning, it was the class of Master Gao and Master Jiang.
Master Gao taught arithmetic, which was fierce and strict, while Master Jiang taught the Four Books and Five Classics, strategy theory, etc. He was gentle and a little old-fashioned, but not pedantic.
The two masters are very respectable teachers, and even so, the students in the class still love Master Wu's class.
It seems that since ancient times, physical education has been the favorite of students.
In the afternoon, there was an hour-long self-study, followed by Wu Fuzi's riding and archery class.
Originally, the riding and archery class was in the front, but the weather gradually became hot. The first hour of the afternoon was when the sun was at its most poisonous, so Wu Fuzi changed the course.
After the riding and archery class started, everyone found that there was no archery target erected on the grass field, but Wu Fuzi had a club and a fist-sized wooden ball in his hand.
"Juju today." Wu Fuzi said.
Everyone was surprised, obviously kicking lessons were not common.
Zhou Tong asked, "Master Wu, why do you suddenly want to strike?"
The monarch likes kicking, and the kicking in Shengdu is very popular, but kicking has a certain danger, and their Wenju Academy did not incorporate kicking into the official curriculum.
Master Wu smiled and said, "I discussed with President Cen this morning and decided to participate in this year's kicking competition!"
Zhou Tong was shocked: "What? Juju competition? Our academy?"
Those nerds in their academy who only know how to dance and write, what kind of kicking competition are they going to participate in
Isn't this humiliating
The rest of the people's thoughts were similar to Zhou Tong's. Their academies had won a lot of champions in the imperial examinations, but it's fine to say that they were kicking the ball.
About several years ago, Dean Cen and Master Wu also did not know what was wrong with them today, so they signed up to participate in the Juju competition, but they didn't score a single ball, and they were beaten miserably.
Lessons learned from the past, President Cen and Master Wu have healed their scars and forgot the pain
"Cough cough!" Master Wu cleared his throat and said sternly, "This time is different from the past. Our academy has the strength to compete with other academies. The dean and I have confidence in you!"
When he said this, his eyes kept on Gu Jiao, but he almost didn't call Gu Jiao directly.
"Okay, let's go pick a horse first!" said Wu Fuzi.
The students went to the racecourse.
"Xiao Liulang, come here." Master Wu stopped Gu Jiao.
Zhong Ding winked at Gu Jiao: "I definitely want you to participate."
Zhou Tong made a gesture: "Come on!"
Gu Jiao came to Master Wu, and Master Wu said cheerfully, "Have you ever played Juju in Zhao Kingdom before?"
"No." Gu Jiao said bluntly.
"Ah." Master Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's okay, I can teach you, every day after school you come to the meadow to find me, and we will train for an hour."
Not enough to go to school, do you need to add more classes
Gu Jiao didn't do it.
Resolutely resist after-school tutoring!
"This is not only your personal honor, but also the honor of the academy."
"I'm very optimistic about you, and I hope you can win glory for the academy."
Gu Jiao still didn't do it.
"This is also good for you personally. If you become famous in one battle, you may have the opportunity to stay in Shengdu in the future."
Gu Jiao did not enter the oil and salt.
Wu Fuzi has a headache.
Aren't you very combative
What happened? Isn't it worthy to kick it
Gu Jiao said solemnly, "Master Wu, I'm not good at studying. I have to spend more time on my studies. I don't think about competitions for the time being, and everything is based on my studies."
No, why don't you say that when you copy homework every day? Dozing off in class like that when I'm passing by, can't you see
Wu Fuzi is fascinated!
Gu Jiao cupped her hands, turned and walked towards the stable.
The students in the stable are discussing the kicking contest.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The Juju competition is held in Lingbo Academy again. This is the third time in their Academy."
"Lingbo Academy? Is that the academy with the Prodigy Class?"
"That's right! That's it!"
"Hey? Is Canglan Women's College right next to Lingbo College? You said... Will the students of Canglan Women's College go to watch the game?"
"I've been there in previous years, and I'll be there this year, right?"
Gu Jiao turned back: "Master Wu, what are the rules of the game?"
Master Wu: "..."
Did you not attend
On the other side, in the dean's duty room, Dean Cen had a friendly conversation with Mu Qingchen alone.
Dean Cen said: "It's like this, I know you have never been involved in the academy's affairs, but I still hope you can participate in this juju competition."
Mu Qingchen is one of the rare students with both civil and military skills. He has a very high level of kicking and Juju, and even Shengdu can rank among the top few.
Dean Cen smiled and said: "Your classmate Xiao Liulang will also participate. He is a novice. It is said that he has no experience in kicking before. I hope you can show him."
…
After coming out of the dean's duty room, Mu Qingchen walked to the grassland.
"Fourth Brother!"
Halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by a young student who rushed out from the side.
This person is not someone else, it is Muchuan, a student of Mingfeng Hall who used to eat with him on the second floor.
Muchuan's father and Mu Qingchen's mother are direct brothers and sisters. In terms of blood, they are cousins, but Mu Qingchen has followed his motherhood, and Muchuan has always regarded Mu Qingchen as a family member of the Mu family.
It was also a coincidence that Mu Qingchen also ranked fourth among the men of the Mu family.
"Don't you have to go to class?" Mu Qingchen looked at Muchuan and asked.
"I slipped out!" Muchuan said.
"Is something wrong?" Mu Qingchen asked lightly.
Muchan asked curiously, "Just now my classmate passed by the dean's room and heard that you agreed to participate in the kicking competition. Is it true?"
Mu Qingchen glanced at him: "You skipped class just to say this?"
Muchan smiled and said, "I want to know!"
Mu Qingchen stepped forward: "Go back to your class."
Muchan catches up with him: "you join me too!"
Mu Qingchen left.
The batting competition is a confrontation between two teams. Each team has four players, including two batters, one master and one pair, one passer and one defender.
The passer is mainly responsible for interfering with the opponent's actions and feeding the ball to the two batters. The defender is mainly responsible for guarding his team's goal and preventing the opponent from scoring.
When Mu Qingchen arrived at the grass field, Gu Jiao had just learned about the rules of kicking from Master Wu, and was choosing a club on the side.
"This is good!" Zhou Tong picked up a cue and said to Gu Jiao.
"Your one is a little broken, let's use this one." Zhong Ding picked another one and handed it to Gu Jiao.
A group of people gathered around the grass field to choose a club for Gu Jiao.
Mu Qingchen was about to walk over when suddenly, a mighty group of people came from the other side of the grassland.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are mighty. There are only twenty people in total, but their aura is particularly powerful, which makes people think of thousands of troops.
Among those people, a young man with a feminine temperament came over and cupped Mu Qingchen's hands. I don't know what to say, Mu Qingchen nodded slightly and passed with him.
Zhong Ding's gaze couldn't help attracting the past. Among the men with powerful auras, there seemed to be a noble young man in brocade.
He murmured, "Who are those people?"
Zhou Tong stretched his neck to look around and said in surprise, "Oh my god, it's from the Prince's Mansion!"
"How do you know?" Zhong Ding asked.
Zhou Tong didn't dare to point it out, so he could only signal with his eyes: "They are the Jinyiwei of the Prince's Mansion, I have seen them in the inner city."
Zhong Ding said incredulously, "Have the people from the Prince's Mansion come to our academy?"
Gosh!
Did he not dream
In my lifetime, I can actually see the people of the Prince's Mansion from a distance!
Zhou Tong continued: "That boy... should be the Prince of Ming Jun of the Prince's Mansion."
"The prince's son?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Well." Zhou Tong nodded, "Prince's heir."
Gu Jiao looked over there, the distance was very far, but Gu Jiao's eyesight was very good, and she could still see the profile of the brocade-clothed boy.
It was a face full of self-confidence and the dignity of a superior. He was talking to Mu Qingchen with a gentle attitude, showing smiles among his friends from time to time.
Zhou Tong said enviously: "Only Mr. Qingchen has such a big face, and the Prince of Ming Jun who can help the Prince's Mansion condescend to come to see him. Unlike us, we are not even qualified to go to the Prince of Ming Jun to greet him. ."
Prince Ming of the Prince's Mansion traveled in micro-clothing and did not let everyone pick him up. After greeting Mu Qingchen, he went to President Cen's duty room with Mu Qingchen.
"The Duke of Ming Jun was also a student of Tianqiong Academy." Zhong Ding said to Gu Jiao after Zhou Tong and others were called away.
Gu Jiao is still picking clubs.
Hearing the words did not speak.
What do the people of the Prince's Mansion have to do with her
Zhong Ding looked around and couldn't help the fire of gossip in his heart. He whispered to Gu Jiao, "I didn't dare to say that the people from the country of Yan are here, do you know about the Prince's Mansion?"
"I don't know." Gu Jiao said lightly, and changed another club.
Zhong Ding has an easy-to-talk physique. He doesn't care whether Gu Jiao likes to listen or not, as long as he wants to talk or not, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable in his heart.
He lowered his voice and said: "The prince was not the prince before, and the prince of Ming has not been named prince."
This club is not good either, it is too light, Gu Jiao frowned, and changed another one.
Zhong Ding walked around in front of her: "The prince is the second son of the monarch of the State of Yan, and his biological mother is Concubine Han, do you know the Han family?"
"I don't know." Gu Jiao said.
Zhong Ding said: "I don't know much either. In short, it is a very powerful family. The original prince was the third princess from the Empress Yuan."
Hearing this, Gu Jiao finally had a slight reaction. She held the club's hand for a while and looked at Zhong Ding: "Princess? Can a princess be a prince too?"
This surprised Gu Jiao.
Zhong Ding hurriedly said: "There is no such precedent before. The princess of Yan is the first one. Do you know who the elder brother of the Empress Yuan is?"
He didn't ask this question to wait for Gu Jiao's answer. After asking, he said to himself, "It's Xuanyuan Li, the god of war of the Yan Kingdom! Xuanyuan Li's younger sister entered the middle palace, and her mother honored the world, giving birth to the king of Yan Kingdom. Female. At the full moon banquet, the monarch decreed to designate her as the concubine of Dayan. That is really a collection of thousands of pets! My father is the monarch, my mother is the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and my uncle is the Xuanyuan Patriarch who holds a million military power. ... tsk tsk, there is no one more honorable than her in the world."
"What happened after that?" Gu Jiao asked. She was rarely interested in unrelated things, perhaps because she used Xuanyuan Li's magic weapon in her hand, so she was more curious about things related to the Xuanyuan family.
Zhong Ding spread his hands and sighed: "Later, there is no later. The Xuanyuan family rebelled, the princess was abolished, the Yuan queen was put into the cold palace, and a generation of gods of war has since fallen."
Gu Jiao paused and asked, "My wife... how old is she?"
Zhong Ding thought for a while: "Is it about the age of the prince? Her son is only one year older than the Prince of Ming, who is eighteen this year."
