No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Just two days after the end, a strange thing happened in Shangyonghuang City.

An old lady who was over sixty years old cried bitterly at the gate of the mansion of one of the most famous Confucian scholars in Shangyong, Lord Feng, Minister of Taichang Temple, and scolded Lord Feng for treachery.

Although the old lady was invited into the mansion, she came out angrily soon after, pointing at the plaque in front of the gate of Feng's house and yelling.

For a time, the entire Shangyong, from the high officials to the common people, was full of curiosity.

You must know that although Master Feng is only a third-rank official, he is quite prestigious in the hearts of scholars all over the world. He was even famous for his talent when he was young, and his collection of poems is still a must-read for many scholars.Not only his literary talents, but also his character and conduct are excellent. Nowadays, there are still faint legends about Master Feng who was upright and outspoken to the emperor in the scholarly circle.

Such an almost perfect representative of Confucian scholars was scolded by an old lady in the street, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many idlers who were completely unaware of this matter.

There are even quite a few boring people who have secretly fabricated a few romantic affairs when they were young.

Ordinary people don't know it, but the dignitaries in Shangyong know it well.

The reason why Mrs. Zou is like this is probably because Mr. Zou was demoted.

Speaking of it, these people are not kind, they promised Master Zou to anger the regent when they promised everything, but now there is no one to ask for mercy when something happens.Poor old gentleman surnamed Zou, he has never made any major mistakes in his life, and he is about to retire. If he can retire safely, the imperial court will definitely raise his rank for the sake of his hard work all his life. Now it's back to 30 years ago.

I heard that Mr. Zou lay in bed and couldn't get up when he got home, and he couldn't even go to the Hanlin Academy for errands.

It can't be blamed for the regent's ruthlessness. If it weren't for the ruthlessness of this knife, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip in the court these days.

It's just the beginning of the new year and it's going to be spring again soon. There are still many things to do, but now it's much quieter.

The only one who sacrificed was Mr. Zou, who made him think that he was a young bird when he was approaching old age but his mind was not clear.

Presumably those people did not expect that Mrs. Zou could be so reckless.

Ordinary people would cry at home at most, but she really dared to rush to other people's houses to point their noses and scold them.The old lady herself is also from a farming family, but she has been pampered and pampered for decades and looks like a lady, but this does not mean that she does not know those vulgar swear words.

Feng Mansion
The gray-bearded old man's face turned ashen when he heard the servant's report, and his hands on the table trembled slightly.

Seeing him like this, the person standing in front of him quickly swallowed back the remaining words, for fear of making the old gentleman faint from anger.

Standing beside the old man was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. Seeing this, he quickly waved to the servants to signal him to back down.

After the people left, the middle-aged man whispered: "Father, how should we deal with this matter? Why don't we send someone to Zou's house to make that old woman shut up?" After leaving Feng's house, he was still grinning dirty.

The reputation of their Feng family these two days...their juniors are too embarrassed to go out.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Go to the Zou family? Do you know how many people are staring at the Zou family now? If something happens to the Zou family..."

The middle-aged man understood that if something happened to the Zou family at this time, outsiders would be the first to suspect them of the Feng family.

"Then what should we do? Do we just let her talk nonsense like this?" The middle-aged man frowned.

There is no way for the regent to get through, not to mention that the Feng family is not important enough to make the regent change his mind.Even if it has this weight, it is impossible for the regent to bother.If the regent changes his mind, wouldn't it be telling everyone that the regent was wrong?

The old man took a deep breath and asked, "Are there any children in the Zou family who are going to participate in Chunwei this year?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Yes, the eldest grandson of the Zou family is 26 years old this year, and he is the son of Chunwei this year."

The old man thought for a moment, and said: "Find someone to talk to Mrs. Zou, what happened to Mrs. Zou is that we are sorry for the Zou family, but no one can do anything now, we still have to think about our children and grandchildren."

Speaking of this, the old man looked up at his son, and said, "Find a trustworthy female relative, and don't let our family interfere."

The middle-aged man nodded quickly.

The old man said slowly again: "I'm going to see Mr. Su."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frowned and said: "Father, the Su family is now standing on the side of the Prince Regent's Mansion."

The old man shook his head and said, "What do you know? Grand Tutor Su doesn't know how to stand on either side. The Su family has fallen to this point. If he still wants to stand in line, his whole life's hard work will be in vain. I'm afraid the Su family wants to bet on His Majesty." The little great-grandson next to him is on him."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a while before he realized, "In this case, the Su family still wants to protect His Majesty." Since you want to bet on His Majesty's accompanying reading, the accompanying reading will only be useful if His Majesty can take power in the future, right?

"In this case, why did the Su family marry their granddaughter to the Luo family? The Luo family is the regent's Yue family." The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.

The old man sighed, and said: "Mr. Su has been very smart all his life, but he believed too much in character. He believes that Xie Yan will not usurp the throne, and will work hard to assist His Majesty until he is in charge."

The middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "Father doesn't believe it?"

The old man looked up at his son, and said in a deep voice: "I believe it now. But... people's hearts are the most unreliable thing. And power can change people's hearts. What's more... what do you think the regent princess has done? How much is the meaning of the regent himself? If they are allowed to do so, will they get it in the future?"

The middle-aged man looked at his father, hesitated and swallowed what he wanted to say.

Doing this... isn't it really forcing the regent to usurp the throne?
On the other hand, the regent is also a man, so why did he let his wife do this?Could it really be that the color makes the mind faint?

Naturally, Luo Junyao had heard a lot about the Feng family and the Zou family, but she was also one of the insiders, so naturally she would not gossip about romantic affairs like ordinary people, and at most she would just laugh at those old scholars.

When Shangyong City was still experiencing ups and downs because of those incidents, Luo Junyao was already preparing for the opening of the New Year at Anlan Academy.

In Shanchang's study, Luo Junyao sat behind the desk with great interest and looked at the entire study's furnishings.

This study was furnished by the previous head of the mountain, and the style tends to be calm and dignified, which naturally does not fit Luo Junyao's aesthetics.But there is no time to pay attention to these now, there are a lot of various files and letters in front of her.

Zhang Jingyu sat on the side and looked at her and said: "These are all letters from Shangyong's family. It has been confirmed that 59 students from the former Linglong Academy will not come this year. These are after excluding those who graduated last year and those who graduated. Yes. In addition, there are no new students enrolled in Linglong Academy this year. This is still the current situation, and you may receive letters in the next few days."

Luo Jun shook his head and asked, "Does Linglong Court want to be transferred?"

Zhang Jingyu took a deep look at her, and took out two letters from his side: "There are two, but these are letters written to me privately by the girl, not from their family. It's better for the princess not to make her own decisions. Otherwise, the life of these two children may not be easy in the future."

Girls' own wishes are nothing these days, and their parents are the mountains they cannot go against.

Luo Jun said: "I know this, and I'm not stupid. Let them meet me later, I'm a little curious about what kind of girl is so thoughtful."

Zhang Jingyu nodded and continued: "In addition, seven new students have signed up for the Martial Arts Academy this year. There are indeed many people who came to inquire about the four newly opened colleges. Among them, the business school and the medical school are the most, and the agricultural school is the second , the Tianji Academy currently doesn’t have one.”

The main reason is that most people can't understand Tianji Academy at all, and they don't want their girls to be carpenters.

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Tianji Academy already has a student."

"Who?"

"Princess Huaiyang."

Zhang Jingyu was speechless for a while, and after a while he said slowly: "It's a good choice."

As the beloved daughter of Princess Changzhao and General Xu, Xu Xinyu will not affect her future life no matter what she wants to learn.Even if the Tianji Academy is strange in the eyes of the world, it is nothing to Princess Huaiyang.

Luo Jun said with a smile: "Then it seems that there is no problem, and there are almost enough teachers to teach. After a while, maybe we can find some better teachers. Tomorrow, we will officially test the incoming freshmen?"

Zhang Jingyu nodded, "Yes, will the princess come tomorrow?"

"On the first day, of course I will come." Luo Jun said with a smile.

She was really looking forward to what kind of students she would receive.
