In the eyes of others, Ji Jiu had a very glorious time. Zhang Chen, Zhu Er, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and others were all away, and they did not participate in the branch examination of Banshan Hall, so he firmly sat as the head of the first hall. In addition, he had received praise from Zhang Shou before, and even his father, who had always regarded him as a mediocre bastard, was now a little more friendly to him.
However, only he himself knew that the days of being the head monk in the first hall were not good at all!
Zhang Shou was not there, so the eunuch Chu from the Imperial Household Department did not need him to take notes and present them to the emperor, and thus, his only connection with the palace was also cut off. As for the newly transferred teacher who gave the first lecture, although it was obvious that he was selected by the emperor from among the young officials, and his historical lectures were humorous, he only touched on many key moments and did not dare to comment easily.
As for those who come to take math classes… can they be more reliable? They are basically students of Jiuzhang Hall who come to work part-time. Sometimes, Lu Sanlang, the head of Jiuzhang Hall, comes in person, but that is not much better. Because these guys have one thing in common, that is, they are also regarded as math geniuses, and the progress is so fast that even his brain can hardly keep up!
Not to mention the others, they were having a hard time learning and were afraid of being laughed at by the poor students from Jiuzhang Hall!
Alas, when will Dr. Zhang, a serious teacher, come back to the Imperial College? Or, as the rumor goes, Zhang Shou has gained great popularity and support in Cangzhou, so he does not plan to come back and plans to serve as the governor of Cangzhou in the future? Yesterday, when he came back, he was said to be summoned to the palace, and even got the honor of climbing Wansui Mountain and having dinner in the palace, but no one came back to the Imperial College to take a look!
At this time, the teacher had left, and Ji Jiu was lying on the desk very ungracefully. But at this moment, he suddenly found that the noisy room, which was originally during the break, suddenly became silent.
He was startled and thought that it was Xu Heizi who suddenly came to inspect the venue. He hurriedly stood up and sat up straight. However, as he looked, he found that a completely unexpected person appeared at the door in the first row. It turned out to be... Zhang Shou!
After the initial shock, Ji Jiu almost jumped up and rushed to the door like flying. Then he bowed respectfully and said, "I heard that the teacher left the palace yesterday evening. The emperor gave him leave. We had no choice but to ignore our schoolwork and go to see you during the day. We had originally agreed to go to Zhang Garden after school in the evening. I didn't expect you to ignore the fatigue of the past few months and come here now."
Ji Jiu's words were so beautiful that they couldn't be put any better... Although he insisted that he had made an appointment with all the students in the class to visit the teacher in the evening, everyone else knew that this was not the case at all, but who would expose such a harmless lie at this time
As a result, a large group of people stood up in a hurry and surrounded Zhang Shou. Some bowed and some greeted him. They all agreed with Ji Jiu's nonsense and claimed that they should be the ones to go to Zhang Garden to pay a visit.
In comparison, Zhang Shou still preferred the students in Jiuzhang Hall who held their heads high and faced the homework check. However, he also knew that the students in Banshan Hall had different backgrounds from those in Jiuzhang Hall, so they could not be generalized. At least he had to fight back when the enemy came and cover up when the water came. After asking Ji Jiu a few questions about his homework, he saw that he smiled and said that everything was fine, so he nodded.
