The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 188 I'm Still an Acquaintance

The book boy turned his head to lead the way, "That little friend... By the way, the prince should know him."

"I?"

Xiao Yu was surprised: "Who is it?"

The book boy took it for granted, "Young master of the Zhen family, Zhen Qingping."

……

In an octagonal pavilion facing the cliff at the back of the academy, there are two people sitting opposite each other, one is dressed in white, his black hair is tied up casually with a wooden hairpin, the other is wearing a long gray coat, holding a small purple sand pot. He poured tea into his mouth.

The young man in white was holding a black chess piece in his hand, looking intently at the chessboard, thinking quietly.

"Qingping, I heard that you haven't been back to Duke Ding's mansion for half a month. Why? Are you quarreling again?"

"Dean, how do you know everything?"

Zhen Qingping smiled helplessly, and settled down surrounded by Bai Zi, "It can't be called a quarrel, my eldest brother and I are the only two men in our family, and my eldest brother always feels that I want to grab something from him. I think it's troublesome, so I just Hide out."

"Hey——" the dean put down the small teapot in his hand, pulled Bai Zi out, put it down without looking at it, cut off Hei Zi's path, and still had the heart to say: "Your brother is ineffective, and he doesn't want to think about how to exercise. For myself, I spend all day drinking or visiting brothels, and the rest of the time is used to be suspicious of you. In the future, Dingguo Mansion will fall into his hands, and that will be the real end."

Zhen Qingping nodded: "My father also said that, so...my elder brother hates me even more."

Dean: "..."

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Heh, if you don't want to make progress, you still blame others for being too good. Why doesn't he think about it? If you want to fight, you'd have already obtained fame and fame. What's the matter with him?"

Zhen Qing paused, heard the dean's subtext, finally raised his head, and smiled comprehensibly: "No wonder the dean suddenly asked me to play chess at Wuxin Pavilion today, so it turned out that he was beating around the bush to persuade me to make progress?"

The dean was stunned, his face was embarrassed for a moment, but then he returned to normal, he sat up straight, and said seriously: "Qingping, you are my student, I know how talented you are, I can't compare you It’s not too bad, if you practice for a few more years, you will definitely have a seat in this world’s great Confucianism, are you really willing to live in such a muddle?”

Zhen Qingping gently put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up and faced the cliff, watched the clouds and mist dissipate, looked at the endless abyss, his face was indifferent, "Teacher, in fact, I don't care about power and wealth. I am content to enjoy something that others cannot enjoy in their lifetime, but I am not attached to it.”

The dean frowned: "I know you are indifferent and unrestrained, but the teacher always hopes that you will be better, and hope that more people will know that the Zhen family not only includes Zhen Qingyuan and the two prostitute daughters, but also you——Zhen Qingping, who is only eighth in high school." Dou, who is rich in learning and five cars, doesn't he deserve to be recognized?"

Zhen Qingping's eyes seemed to be clouded, and he couldn't see clearly, "Does it matter if you admit it or not?"

"I think it's important."

The dean said firmly.

He stood up and walked to Zhen Qingping's side, sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Then what will you do in the future? Zhen Qingyuan is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people. The old man still appreciates you, but he doesn't pay much attention to you. You will be determined in the future." The Duke's Mansion must fall into the hands of the younger generation, and your situation will be very embarrassing, Qingping, have you thought about this?"

Zhen Qingping turned his face moved, the mountain wind blew over his elegant and handsome face, messing up his fine hair, he squinted his eyes, "Thought about it, I will take part in the imperial examination when it resumes, and after the exam, I will take it." As a petty official, I can move out to live by myself, and what happens to the Dingguo government and how the money is distributed in the future has nothing to do with me."

The dean wanted to persuade him, but Zhen Qingping suddenly moved his ears, turned around, and saw a group of people climbing up the long steps, and when they saw him, they were also stunned. He cupped his hands and smiled, "It turns out that the distinguished guest is my uncle. I haven't seen you for a long time. How is my uncle?"

Zhen Qingping was stunned for a long time before confirming her identity from the person's clothes. He hesitated and said, "Are you...A Yu?"

He didn't call her Xiao Yu, nor did he call her Prince Regent, but called her "A Yu" kindly, which Xiao Yu hadn't heard for a long time.

In the deepest part of his memory, the first time Yuan Bo saw this little uncle was five years ago, and he only heard this name once five years ago.

The dean looked at Xiao Yu and then at Zhen Qingping, walked over to Xiao Yu and cupped his hands: "This old man didn't know the prince was coming, so I was far away from welcoming you, please forgive me."

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "I interrupted rashly and disturbed the two Yaxing, please forgive me."

The dean looked at Xiao Yu and the cold clothes behind her inquiringly: "The old man has already ordered them, if this lord brings His Majesty's handbook, please go directly to the Library Pavilion, there is no need to pass it on, why didn't the prince go, Instead, come to Wuxin Pavilion?"

Xiao Yu said helplessly: "We did go, but there are so many classic books in Zangshuge, I really had no way to start when I came here for the first time, and I didn't know how to find them. I asked the little book boy at the door, and they didn't know. In desperation , we have no choice but to bother the dean."

"Is that so..."

The dean nodded, "Then I—"

"I'll take Ayu and the others." Zhen Qingping looked at the dean, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I have something to say to Ayu."

The dean looked at Xiao Yu with frowned eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and finally agreed, "If that's the case, then you can go, you are the most familiar with Zangshuge."

"Well, thank you Dean."

Zhen Qingping bowed to him, and the dean looked at his head with a complicated expression. Although Xiao Yu was his nephew, he hadn't seen him for many years, so he probably didn't have much affection. For powerful people, if the relationship between Qingping and Xiao Yu is better, it will definitely be much easier in the future.

However, he knew clearly that Zhen Qingping definitely didn't think so much in his heart, alas, what a worry, he supervised more than the old lady in the palace.

Zhen Qingping stood up and said to Xiao Yu, "Let's go."

Xiao Yu nodded, said something to the dean, and followed Zhen Qingping down.

Han Yi and Shu Tong followed closely behind, curiously listening to the conversation of the two in front.

"Why did Ayu come to Datong Academy today? What are you looking for?"

Zhen Qingping spoke very naturally, with a peaceful attitude, not as if he was talking to a junior, but as if he was talking to his friend.

Xiao Yu said with emotion, the world is changeable, and Zhen Qingping has been like a day for several years, his temper has not changed a bit, and he is still so comfortable.

She said softly: "I came here to find something very important. Have you heard about the murder case in the dark alley of the capital?"

"I have heard about it, but I was not in the capital at the time, so I don't know much about it. Who is the deceased? What are you looking for related to this case?"
