Gu Yundong was shocked by him. She looked up and saw his furious expression.
“You, 1 was wondering why you kept asking me about Brother Qin. It turns out that you’re waiting here. You also want your brother to enter Brother Qin’s school, right?”
Gu Yundong was dumbfounded at first, but then her eyes lit up. Eh, so this Brother Qin opened a school in Fengkai County.
Wait a minute, Liu Wei just said that he was the top scholar, right?
From the way he addressed him, that guy didn’t sound very old. n/.0velbIn
Gu Yundong looked at Liu Wei with a smile. “Don’t be agitated, don’t be agitated. Sit down and calm down. Tell me about Brother Qin’s school.”
Liu Wei was stunned. He looked at her for a long time and suddenly realized that he had confessed.
He was instantly annoyed. He looked at Gu Yundong accusingly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Hey, are you looking for a fight again?
Shao Qingyuan had already finished his porridge and could hear their conversation clearly. He wiped his mouth and said to Gu Yundong, “Leave the two roe deers at home to eat. It’s easy to keep them in this weather. See if you can figure out how to make more dishes with the deer meat.”
Liu Wei almost fainted from anger. He turned to look at Shao Qingyuan angrily.
The latter turned sideways and aimed his injured shoulder at him.
Liu Wei immediately became listless. He took a deep breath and told himself that this guy was his savior. He could not be ungrateful.
After slowly calming down for a while, he said, “Forget it, forget it. It’s not a secret anyway. Everyone in the county knows. Only people in remote places like you don’t know anything.”
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. “Go ahead.”
“Brother Qin’s original name was Qin Wenzheng. After he became the top scholar at the age of 18, he became an official in the Hanlin Academy in the capital. He was young and energetic, and he was also smart. He was full of ambition and wanted to make a contribution to the country and the people. But the late emperor...” Liu Wei paused. There was no need to elaborate. Everyone knew.
The late emperor was muddle-headed and tyrannical. It was not easy for you to achieve results.
Many loyal officials were depressed and even beheaded. In the beginning, Qin Wenzheng was also suppressed everywhere. Fortunately, his position was not high and he did not have any backing or real power. In the eyes of those in high positions, he was not a threat.
Although someone like him could easily become a pawn for others to use, Qin Wenzheng still had a brain. He had safely dodged several dangerous situations. It was also because of this that he no longer charged forward.
After that, for some reason, Qin Wenzheng suddenly resigned from his post and traveled far and wide with his wife. In the end, they stopped at Fengkai County.
Others didn’t know the reason for his sudden resignation, but Liu Wei’s family had connections. It was said that Qin Wenzheng had met the Crown Prince, who was now the new emperor, before he resigned. No one knew what they had discussed.
Liu Wei lowered his voice. “Let me tell you, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, a capable person like Brother Qin will probably be summoned back to the capital soon. Therefore, it’s impossible for you to send your brother to study in his school. How can he still accept students at this juncture, right?”
“Oh.” Gu Yundong was enlightened. She looked as if he had a point.. However, in the next moment, her voice changed and she asked with a smile, “Then why are you giving him the roe deer? Isn’t it to enter his school?”
