Chapter 223: 136 A Family Unites (First Update)
When Xiao Liulang entered Guozijian, it provoked considerable attention, simply because his appearance easily reminded people of the young ritual wine master.
All the masters who had seen the young ritual wine master were amazed that there was soone in the world who looked so similar.
However, while they indeed looked similar, the young ritual wine master was confird dead, and they had all attended his funeral, so they naturally wouldn’t confuse the young man in front of them with him.
Moreover, Xiao Liulang only looked similar at first glance, a closer look at his eyes and temperant profoundly diverged from the young ritual wine master’s.
Besides that, his temperant, manner, and even his handwriting and writings were different from the young ritual wine master’s.
How much effort would a person have to put in to change so dramatically?
Furthermore, if he were the young ritual wine master, why wouldn’t he return to the Xiao family?
He was also a la man.
If it were in the forr dynasty, a person with a severe disability could not participate in the Imperial examination, it was not until the change of dynasties that they abolished the old clothing system.
Not many of the students had seen the young ritual wine master, so they didn’t cause a big commotion.
Why does the prince have ti to co to Guozijian today?”
Inside the Mingzheng Hall of Guozijian, Zheng Siye t An Junwang, who was dressed in brocade.
Although An Junwang is a student at Shuaixin Hall in Guozijian, he enjoys privileges, does not need to go to school every day. From the beginning of the school year to now, this was his first appearance.
An Junwang laughed and said, “I heard that a very impressive freshman ca to Guozijian.”
Although he didn’t na the person, Zheng Siye still imdiately guessed Xiao Liulang’s na, and smiled flatteringly, “He’s nothing more than diocre, compared to Your Highness, there’s a vast difference.”
An Junwang laughed lightly, “You can’t say that, he’s the one I highly regard.”
Zheng Siye was stunned.
An Junwang laughed, “Our family originally intended to recomnd him for admission, but he passed the examination himself, can Zheng Siye really think he is diocre?”
Zheng Siye’s cold sweat broke out, this prince was really not playing by the book, any normal person stumbling across such a student would already regard him as a potential problem, wouldn’t they?
From the prince’s words…is the royal family planning to win him over?
An Junwang did indeed intend to win over Xiao Liulang. Although the royal family had produced many talented people, who would think there were too many talents? Having one more pawn, doesn’t it an an extra chance of winning in this ga of the world?
An Junwang looked at Zheng Siye, “You tell truthfully, this Xiao Liulang, how much real talent does he have?”
“This…” Zheng Siye hesitated for a mont, and said, “In terms of real talent, he is indeed outstanding, but again, he can’t be compared with Your Highness.”
“No need to compare with .” An Junwang said casually.
Zheng Siye paused, bowed, “then, excluding Your Highness, he is indeed the top of this class.”
An Junwang’s red lips curled up, “Very good, cultivate him well, this person, we’ve decided to take him.”
Zheng Siye smiled dryly, “Being favored by the royal family, that’s his fortune from the diligence of his previous eight lifetis!”
To be honest, Zheng Siye didn’t like Xiao Liulang very much, mainly because this fellow was not respectful enough to him. Each ti they t, he always felt like he was not sure who the master was.
“Your Highness, then my…” Zheng Siye hinted at An Junwang.
An Junwang said, “The Guozijian is reopened, the position of the Ritual Wine Master cannot remain vacant forever, I will inform my grandfather, he will say a few nice words for Zheng Siye in the court when necessary.”
Zheng Siye repeatedly thanked him, “Thank you, Your Highness! Thanks to Grandpa!”
Gu Jiao didn’t hide from her family that she wanted to join the second host to open a dical hall. Of course, she didn’t ntion about the technology sharing part, just said she would invest eight hundred taels of silver, and then she could own half of the dical hall.
The family mbers expressed strong support for this.
After dinner, the old lady found Gu Jiao and threw her a money bag.
“What for?” asked Gu Jiao.
The old lady said lightly, “Pay back when the dical hall starts making money.”
These were the old woman’s coffin savings, which included the silver Gu Jiao regularly offered her, the silver she earned from selling the wound dicine, and the silver she scamd by telling fortunes and palmistry.
There was surprisingly a lot, a full fifty taels!
Gu Jiao: I wouldn’t know if I didn’t open a dical hall, you old lady, you are so good at making a fortune quietly!
Gu Xiaoshun also gave Gu Jiao the silver he had been reluctant to spend earlier.
Of course, Gu Yan did not need to say, he gave all his pocket money to his sister and even advanced ten taels from the little monk, thus starting his bitter life of working hard for the little monk to pay off his debt.
After Xiao Liulang entered the Guozijian, he made a small amount of money by doing howork for the rich young masters, but he didn’t think it was enough to open a dical hall.
