Chapter 238 Dropping Out of School

Gu Mingda sent someone to deliver a letter to the Princess's Mansion, and Shen Changfeng followed immediately.

But as soon as he arrived in Baiyun Town and entered the medicine room of Old Doctor Yan, Gu Zhao's complaints almost overturned the roof.

"You are willing to come to see me! What have you been busy with? Master gave me a holiday and no one came to pick me up. Have you forgotten me? You are too heartless!"

Even if Gu Mingda hadn't seen this naughty monkey for a long time, he still felt itchy when he saw him.

"Third brother, have you forgotten that Daddy is going to participate in the imperial examination, and he had agreed not to pick you up this time." Niu Niu reminded softly.

Gu Zhao held the snacks sent by his sister, and saw his father's dark face again, and said: "I... I... I am still a child, I can't remember so much..."

Shen Changfeng always had no eyes, and reminded: "A Zhao, Niu Niu is younger than you, she remembers it clearly."

Gu Zhao couldn't help but feel guilty again.

Gu Mingda didn't want to argue with this unfortunate son, so he said, "Okay, I didn't ask you to remember it."

Since his father was so tolerant, Gu Zhao took the initiative to give in: "Dad, I will remember it next time!"

Gu Mingda nodded casually.

But Gu Zhao was a person who only remembered food and not beatings, so he asked again: "Dad, did you do well in the exam this time? Can you pass the imperial examination? Then I will also be the son of a jinshi! Then people will call me Xiao Yanei! That way I will be glorious!"

When Gu Mingda heard this, his face turned black: "Did I pass the imperial examination just for you to bully me?"

Gu Zhao lowered his head again: "I... I just said that, don't think too much, dad."

Gu Mingda said patiently: "Whether I pass the imperial examination or not, at most I can support you for a while, but the only thing that can really support you for a lifetime is your own ability..."

Seeing that his father was going to reason again, Gu Zhao suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"I understand, I understand! Dad, please stop nagging!" Gu Zhao begged.

What Gu Zhao feared most in his life was the nagging of his father and elder brother.

He felt that his ears were calloused, but others took it as the golden rule.

Shen Changfeng looked like he was being taught: "Master, what you said makes so much sense. What do you think I should take as a skill to make a living?"

Shen Changfeng was muddle-headed in the first half of his life, and his family had very low expectations of him. Now that he has become Gu Mingda's disciple, he feels that his mind is much clearer than before.

"Think more about your strengths and develop them into a skill to make a living." Gu Mingda said.

Shen Changfeng sighed: "I don't have any strengths either. My family has also found a painter recently. I followed him to learn for a while, but unfortunately, I didn't find that I have a talent for painting."

Gu Mingda reminded: "Looking at the weather is also your strength."

Shen Changfeng asked: "Am I destined to enter the Imperial Observatory?"

"You don't like it?" Gu Mingda asked back.

Shen Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Observing the weather is also very important in farming. Life is long, we can think about it slowly." Gu Mingda has always been very tolerant of Shen Changfeng.

Gu Zhao, who was standing by, heard this and immediately started to be clever: "Dad, you said that life is long, so it doesn't matter if I delay for one day. I announced that I will have a holiday today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will go back with you and have a good time for a few days!"

As soon as he said this, he only got a sneer from Gu Mingda.

"I am his master, not your master. Your master went to the capital, but he arranged a lot of things. You dare to leave before you finish the work?" Gu Mingda asked.

Gu Zhao was so scared when he thought of the methods of old doctor Yan that he trembled.

Niu Niu also said beside him: "Third brother, hard work makes you proficient and playfulness makes you lazy, don't be lazy!"

Gu Zhao curled his lips and complained to Niu Niu: "Why are you also learning to show off your knowledge!"

Niu Niu said: "If you don't study hard, I will show off my knowledge to you every day! I won't play with you!"

Gu Zhao was overwhelmed.

Shen Changfeng suddenly asked from the side: "A Zhao, how long has Old Yan been away from Baiyun Town?"

Gu Zhao counted on his fingers: "One day, two days... six days! Master has been gone for six days!"

Shen Changfeng frowned slightly.

Gu Mingda was very perceptive and asked: "What news did you hear in the capital?"

Shen Changfeng nodded gently: "There has been some trouble in the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion these days. My uncle issued an edict to reprimand him, which made him very embarrassed. The petition of Jing'an Marquis to be the crown prince was also kept in the palace and not sent out. They all said privately that the request for the crown prince was probably going to fail."

"Did Old Doctor Yan do this?" Gu Mingda asked.

"I don't know, it seems to have nothing to do with it." Shen Changfeng said.

Gu Mingda thought it was probably the work of Doctor Yan, otherwise the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion had been fine for so many years, and there was no reason for something to happen suddenly.

"Is Brother Yan Lang still being bullied in the academy now?" Niuniu was more concerned about this issue.

Gu Zhao shook his head: "Brother and Yan Lang are almost inseparable, and no bad guy dares to bully them during this period!"

Baiyun Academy did not have a holiday today.

But at noon, Gu Yan and Yan Lang received the news and gave up their hard study time and ran out to see their family.

"Father, Mr. Mu Hongzhi wants to take me as a disciple." As soon as Gu Yan met, he brought a shocking news.

Gu Mingda was full of surprise: "Are you serious?"

Mu Hongzhi is a great scholar of the time, famous all over the world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even meet him once. Gu Mingda did not expect that his son would be so lucky.

Gu Yan nodded and explained: "I didn't know he was Master Mu Hongzhi before. He pretended to be an old man who helped clean up in the college. He asked us for help because of his backache. If I helped him, he would accept me. "As a disciple."

Gu Yan didn't know that he had the impression of giving an umbrella during the monthly exam, and that he was not bad at learning. He thought that it was because of his proactive help that he could become a member of this great scholar.

"Brother has a kind heart, so he has good luck! This means that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds!" Niu Niu praised him from the sidelines.

Yan Lang was full of regret at this time: "Yesterday, Master Mu asked a student for help. When we saw Ayan volunteering, we felt that we had taken advantage. With Ayan's help, we didn't have to waste our study time. Who knew... ...Sigh...Next time this happens again, I will definitely be the first to rush to help!”

Gu Yan comforted him: "It's good that you are willing to help. Unlike Cui Heng, he acted like a young master on the spot. Not only did he not help, he even kicked over the dustpan."

Speaking of Cui Heng, Yan Lang couldn't help but become happy: "You don't know that Cui Heng did such an excessive thing and was severely reprimanded and persuaded by the mountain chief to quit. Now he is no longer a student of Baiyun Academy!"
