Chapter 70: Did I eat your rice?
Just as everyone around was shocked by Director Qingshan’s words, Gu Yu was also surprised.
However, what he was thinking at the moment was… what exactly did this man want to do?
He had been arguing like a troll, and then suddenly he said this. It was truly unfathomable… And he was the director of Qingshan Academy?
Gu Yu had been in ancient times for quite some time. Coupled with the information he had inquired about from town, he knew that Qingshan Academy was very famous in Lian Town and was a place that many students dreamed of getting into.
If he had to give an example, it would be like Tsinghua and Peking University… and you couldn’t get in through the back door, only through actual academic achievement.
After all, the minimum requirement for admission was to pass the Tong Sheng exam, and exceeding the age limit was also not allowed.
After that, there would be an exam, and if they passed, they would become students of Qingshan Academy. If they failed, they could only wave goodbye.
Gu Yu was so curious about Qingshan Academy because he had heard people mention it during the Lantern Festival… Qingshan Academy was very famous!
After inquiring, Gu Yu found that it was indeed amazing.
His younger brother-in-law would return to school after the New Year. Given Gu Qingheng’s intelligence, Gu Yu felt that he didn’t need to go to a school full of children. A place like Qingshan Academy was the best.
Although Gu Qingheng was not old, he was not as naive and innocent as other children. He could finish reading half a room of books in this period of time. Besides Gu Mengyao’s martial arts supervision, it was also Gu Qingheng’s own persistence.
Therefore, Gu Yu felt that… Gu Qingheng could go to Qingshan Academy now, and he would study even better than others.
It was just how to get him there that made Gu Yu troubled.
Because the admission standard of Qingshan Academy was to pass the Tong Sheng test, but the Tong Sheng test was held one month before the court examination. When the results were released, it would be around June or July. Such a long time would be a waste of time.
Now, Gu Yu couldn’t wait to let his younger brother-in-law become a high-ranking official and then cover for him to make things easier!
Even though Gu Qingheng was only eight years old now, no matter how smart he was, he couldn’t enter the imperial court to be an official so early.
However, as a hopeful thought, Gu Yu was determined to send Gu Qingheng to Qingshan Academy.
As for how to send him there, didn’t the opportunity just appear?
What could be more reliable than Director Qingshan personally inviting him?
However, the person was mistaken now!
The one who was supposed to enter Qingshan Academy was Gu Qingheng, not Gu Yu.
“My heavens! To actually receive a personal invitation from Director Qingshan, who is this Gu Yu!”
“Who else could he be but a scholar! Although he is young, what he just said was much stronger than ours. And Director Qingshan has always cherished talent. It is normal for him to want Gu Yu to study at Qingshan Academy now.”
“I thought Director Qingshan was going to deal with that Gu Yu just now, but I didn’t expect the situation to turn around and develop like this! I don’t know what will happen next. It’s really a little exciting!”
“Heh heh, this makes me want to find someone to argue with and attract the director’s attention.”
“It’s amazing! When can I also receive a personal invitation from Director Qingshan! Putting aside other things, just saying it out loud is glorious!”
“It seems that Gu Yu is going to succeed! He has already entered Director Qingshan’s sight, and his future will naturally be incredibly smooth. It’s a pity that we still have to struggle more to deal with the thorny path of the imperial examination!”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about how to promote his younger brother-in-law, the people around started discussing, and the gazes cast on Gu Yu were full of envy.
As for why they weren’t jealous, it was obvious that Gu Yu’s performance just now had made everyone realize that he was not an ordinary person.
If Gu Yu were on the same level as others, he would definitely have attracted many jealous glances at this time.
However, when Gu Yu sat in a high position and looked down, the people looking up at Gu Yu from below would naturally not be jealous anymore, only admiration.
“Sorry, I’m not planning to study.”
However, when Gu Yu spoke again, the jaws of the people around almost dropped.
Could their ears be mistaken!!!
Gu Yu actually refused Qingshan Academy, a place that others dreamed of entering?
Is he stupid?
This choice, which was destined to have a bright future, was rejected by Gu Yu with a tone as calm as if he were saying he was going to take a nap.
Who exactly is this Gu Yu!
“Won’t you consider it again? Qingshan Academy does not restrict your actions, you only need to come to the academy to study every day. Moreover, rewards are distributed based on monthly exam results. The atmosphere of studying alone is much better than being alone.”
Compared to the shock of the people around, Director Qingshan seemed to have expected it. His expression remained indifferent, but his words were not like that.
Because after Gu Yu refused, Director Qingshan actually invited him for the second time!
To be invited twice by the director of Qingshan Academy, what an honor this is!
It’s simply like their ancestors’ graves smoking blue smoke!
In Director Qingshan’s heart, he had already evaluated Gu Yu’s aptitude, and the result made him have to recruit Gu Yu into the academy.
However, since Gu Yu refused the opportunity to enter Qingshan Academy during the Lantern Festival, Director Qingshan had vaguely guessed… Gu Yu was not a person who was easily deceived.
After seeing him today, Director Qingshan further realized that Gu Yu was different from others, and his thoughts could not be inferred by ordinary people.
The thoughts of geniuses are often like this.
However, Qingshan Academy does not lack intelligent students, and they all obediently entered the academy to study. Now it is just one Gu Yu, and Director Qingshan felt… he could still win him over, but it would take more effort.
No matter how smart Gu Yu is, he is just a little fox now.
As long as you offer enough bait, you will definitely lure him in.
Director Qingshan had a good plan, but he didn’t know that with Gu Yu’s personality, even if he could talk beautifully, Gu Yu would refuse.
Not only was studying and memorizing books very hard, but the thought of being separated from Gu Mengyao also made Gu Yu firmly disagree.
Even if it was just studying in town during the day and returning at night…
But leaving such a beautiful little wife like Gu Mengyao at home, Gu Yu would be very worried even if he studied in town!
“I’m not reconsidering. I have no intention of studying right now.”
So, Gu Yu refused for the second time.
This time, Director Qingshan was troubled.
He didn’t know what Gu Yu wanted. He was so stubborn and unyielding, which was really worrying!
“I say, sir, our director has invited you twice, and you are so ungrateful. Don’t you want to study in the future?”
Just as Director Qingshan was troubled by Gu Yu’s refusal, a student standing behind him suddenly jumped out. When speaking to Gu Yu, his face showed a look of intolerance, which made Gu Yu roll his eyes at him resentfully.
Why should this guy care if Gu Yu wanted to refuse?
So what if he refused? Did he eat your rice?
“Heh heh, Qingshan Academy has such a grand attitude. I just disagree to enter the academy, and you want to ban me?”
“Qingshan Academy will naturally not do that, but it is indeed too casual for Brother Gu to refuse now. After all, it concerns your future, and you need to treat it with caution.”
“I don’t care about these things. My pursuit in life is a wife, children, and a warm hearth. As for promotion and official position, I don’t want anything.”
“…”
Afterward, seeing that the man in the green robe had no intention of stopping him, Gu Yu thought that this director was really insidious.
However, no matter how many tricks the other party used, Gu Yu just wouldn’t agree.
Later, when Gu Yu spoke, another student from Qingshan Academy came out. He looked like an elegant scholar, and his words were much nicer than the previous one.
However, Gu Yu was not persuaded.
On the contrary, what he said afterward made the elegant scholar stunned, and the people around were also stunned, thinking that Gu Yu’s pursuit was truly simple, and he was content with a wife, children, and a warm hearth???
A grown man should have ambition and travel the world, not waste his life at home!
And, how old is Gu Yu!
Is it too early to think about these things??
While everyone was shaking their heads at Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao, who was disguised as a man, showed an embarrassed expression after hearing this. She felt that Ah Yu thought too much.
They were still this young, and they were already thinking about future children!
And saying it in front of so many people was really too embarrassing!
Gu Mengyao didn’t think Gu Yu lacked ambition. On the contrary, she was very happy that Gu Yu could stay at home.
Because this way, they would have more time to spend together.
As for the future… since there is so much time, having a few children would not be difficult!
“Since you have the talent to study, staying in a small village is a waste of talent. What exactly do you want for you to join Qingshan Academy?”
When Director Qingshan saw that the students could not persuade Gu Yu, he spoke again. However, his words still aimed to persuade Gu Yu to reconsider and not give up this rare opportunity. The words at the end even asked Gu Yu to state his conditions… It seemed that no matter what the conditions were, Director Qingshan would try his best to satisfy them.
To be able to make Director Qingshan so humble, Gu Yu could be considered the first person in Lian Town!
“The condition for joining Qingshan Academy? Since you are so sincerely asking me to stay, I cannot be too impolite. How about this! As long as the students of Qingshan Academy can stump my younger brother-in-law, I will join the academy.”
Upon hearing Director Qingshan’s words, Gu Yu’s eyes rolled… then he did not continue to refuse, but really stated his condition.
However, this made Gu Qingheng, who was happily watching the show from the side, stunned, and then his little face immediately furrows into a ball.
Brother-in-law, you are too much of a cheat!
