The brothers were friendly and respectful to each other, and they lived in harmony. Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye used to think that such a situation could only occur in a small number of families among the common people. But today, the two of them witnessed with their own eyes that when the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince met again, the Fourth Prince went up to his brother and hugged him without saying a word, and then when he let go of his hand, he was too embarrassed to bow and apologize.
The Third Prince first hurriedly helped the man, then wiped his tears and shook his head, saying that it was all his fault. They believed that after ten or eight years, it would become a very subtle memory for them. Especially Zhou Jiji, who had reluctantly accepted that the Second Prince would also enter the Imperial College's Ratexing Hall a few days ago, felt that the world's storms were gathering at the Imperial College at this moment.
As for apologizing to Zhang Shou, even though the emperor said it lightly and the Fourth Prince was originally prepared to do so, when Zhang Shou smiled and mentioned the new regulations announced in Jiuzhang Hall before, the Fourth Prince only apologized halfway and then forgot about it. He kept spinning in circles and cheering, then waved his fists to show his confidence, vowed to take the exam again the next year, and later caught up.
Facing such a pair of brothers who did not look like the high and mighty royal family, no matter whether they were the candidates who passed or failed, they could not help but feel a lot more relaxed. As for the students of Zhaoming Academy who had just arrived in the capital and liked to speculate everything with conspiracy theories, they could not help but feel a little sour when they saw the fourth prince crying and laughing, and pulling the third prince to talk to Zhang Shou before his tears had dried.
Not to mention the prince, even if he was a child from a rich family, he would become sophisticated at a young age because of the complicated circle of his family. How could a prince be so naive? He must be pretending!
Regardless of what others think, this short but seemingly long Imperial College Open Day was finally successfully concluded. The emperor's personal visit became a topic of discussion for countless people, while the latest batch of students in Jiuzhang Hall and the new system suddenly proposed by Zhang Shou also attracted a lot of discussion. In contrast, the group of Yue Shanzhang, the head of Zhaoming Academy, attracted much less attention.
No matter how famous a local celebrity was, why would he cause such a sensation when he first arrived in the capital
However, Yue Shanzhang hoped that not too many people would pay attention to or discuss his appearance in the Imperial College, so after leaving the Imperial College, he immediately followed the captain, who obviously had ulterior motives, to the accommodation that had been arranged long ago, and then sent him away. After settling down, he found out that he was the first of the four people who were summoned to the capital to arrive in the capital.
Logically, Guangdong was too far away, so he should have arrived last. However, he had already traveled around the southeast with his students in the name of traveling. Therefore, the emperor's conscription order was not sent to Guangdong, but was sent directly to Yangzhou because of the reminder of his student, the censor. Now that he had met the emperor on the first day of his arrival in the capital, he was naturally happy and worried.
As for the plan to bring Zhaoming Academy out of its isolated situation and preferably set up another academy in the capital, now Yue Shanzhang can only keep it in his heart for the time being, and he has not even revealed a single word to his students. After all, Fang Qing's slip of the tongue today that almost caused trouble is the best lesson.
Fang Qing, who was regarded as a black sheep by Yue Shanchang, wandered alone in the streets of the huge imperial capital after leaving the Imperial College, feeling very desolate and miserable. Although he was still a juren, and had missed the last exam for some reason, and was once full of confidence in next year's joint examination, now he had no hope at all, and even felt that the road ahead was dark.
