Ge Weng, whose real name was Ge Yong, was a retired Grand Tutor, the Emperor's tutor, and the prince's tutor. Countless dignitaries tried their best to have their children become his disciples. He was the record holder for the longest time serving as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College in this dynasty, and the nominal president of at least a hundred academies in the country.
Because he was an expert at tasting wine, the old man was the most popular customer in at least dozens of wine shops in the capital. And because he was good at writing poetry, famous prostitutes in brothels would spend huge sums of money to ask for his poems. Unfortunately, the old man stopped writing ten years ago.
Zhang Shou, a country boy who was ignorant and inexperienced, certainly didn't know this information. However, he had a best informant, Miss Zhu, who grew up in the capital and knew all the dignitaries and gossips.
Even though he was not shy in dealing with people, and he was calm when he first met Ge Yong that day, now that he knew the other party's identity and met face to face again, his mood could not help but become extremely subtle. At this moment, Ge Yong had already forcefully driven away those dandies, and was wandering around his small house, looking around, his attitude was so weird that it made people feel creepy.
Finally, the old man came up to him, pointed at his nose and said, "Young Master Zhang, we meet again. Are you surprised to see the fraud you mentioned?"
Zhang Shou was a little nervous at first, but now he was amused by the old kid's behavior. He finally managed to hold back his laughter, and said seriously, "I didn't recognize the great man at that time, I hope Mr. Ge will forgive me. Besides, I didn't know that Cuiyunjian was originally yours. The so-called fraudster is not referring to others, but purely to myself."
Zhu Ying rushed to defend herself, "Grandpa Ge, you can't blame Zhang Shou for this. I was the one who came up with the idea..."
Before she could finish her words, the old man tapped her smooth forehead with his finger, and she became speechless for a moment.
"Little Yingying, don't I know you? You've been a beauty lover since you were little. When your father asked me to teach you, you tried to delay at first. But after you met me, you chased after me and called me Grandpa Ge. You saw that I was old but elegant, and not only did I teach in a non-stuffy way, but I also told you jokes all day long."
"Tell me the truth, is it because you saw that the young master of the Zhang family is handsome and has a personality that suits your taste, that you arranged for your people to go to the capital to stir up trouble everywhere? You arranged this so that he could become a teacher to everyone like me, an old man?"
Zhu Ying stole a glance at Zhang Shou, then said in a low voice, "Yes..."
Ge Yong nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at Zhang Shou, who was smiling bitterly, and said, "As for Young Master Zhang, are you helpless about Yingying's self-willed behavior, but you can't stop those playboys, so you can only do your best to stop a guy like me who comes to seek the master out of curiosity, and you don't hesitate to call yourself a fraud?"
What does it mean that the arm cannot twist the thigh
Zhang Shou was both angry and amused. Miss Zhu was too active and would indeed cause a big storm if she didn't see the right direction, but as long as she was spoken to nicely, she would at least listen to advice. Moreover, she had not discussed it with him before, so he was kept in the dark, not that he couldn't stop her!
