Chapter 159: Nephew
Yan Zhaoshi walked on the street in a daze, with the Great Wei Dynasty in chaos, but the city of Xinjing was still lively and noisy, and there was an increasingly prosperous trend.
But all this has nothing to do with him, and from this moment on, his last hope was also dashed.
Wang Fang has long been away from Ye's mansion. The articles he had learned to write in his life were not sent to Ye Cifu at all.
That day, the more confident he was, the more shabby he was today.
Why has it reached this point? Why?
Yan Zhaoshi couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, he remembered an important thing.
He once told his nephew Yan Jingxiu about Wang Fang. Now he must tell Ashu that Wang Fang is a liar.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoshi did not hesitate anymore and staggered towards Shuren Academy.
He has been to Shuren Academy many times and has also seen Shan Chang Ji Huaili!
Ji Huaili was Ye Cifu's senior brother. He became famous all over the world at the age of 18. At the age of 23, he was named the top scholar by Emperor Gaozong and presided over the compilation of the "Han Picture Collection" at the age of 32. After Renzong ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager asked Ji Huaili to be the imperial teacher and teach the six-year-old Renzong Chai Yu.
Ji Huaili readily accepted the order, but two years later, Ji Huaili accidentally fell off his horse while in the spring, and became disabled. He could only resign with tears and retire and return home.
In the third year of his resignation, Ji Huaili founded Shuren Academy in Pingcheng to teach and educate.
When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she was very happy and gave her a plaque.
When Yan Zhaoshi thought of the respected Chief Ji Shan, his heart sank.
Ji Huaili is Ye Cifu's senior brother. The two have close contacts. Today, the matter of going to Ye's mansion to find Wang Fang, I think it will be spread to Ye Cifu soon. How would Ye Cifu view himself? A villain in the camp and service?
Yan Zhaoshi's pace accelerated a little more.
Ye Cifu's attitude is likely to affect Ji Huaili. Can Ji Huaili still cultivate Yan Jingxiu as before?
Yan Zhaoshi had not eaten or slept for a day and night. He was frozen all night and was stimulated in Ye's mansion again today. Now he felt that he was too heavy to the head.
In order to allow students to study with peace of mind, Shuren Academy chose a remote place when choosing a location. In the past, when Yan Zhaoshi visited Yan Jingxiu, he either took a sedan chair or a bus. He had never walked over with his two feet like today.
Yan Zhaoshi had never noticed that Shuren Academy was so far away. Yan Zhaoshi's legs were weak, one deep and one shallow. After walking for an hour and a half, he arrived at the gate of Shuren Academy.
It was time for school to finish. The students were talking and laughing, leaving the academy, some went home, and some went to the shop near the academy.
Yan Zhaoshi looked at it for a while but did not see Yan Jingxiu, but saw two familiar students. He remembered that once when he came to the academy to see Yan Jingxiu, he invited Ye Sheng and Yan Jingxiu to have a meal together, and also invited several other classmates, and the two of them also went that day.
Yan Zhaoshi reached out and grabbed one of the students: "Didn't Yan Jingxiu come out with you?"
The student was talking to his companion, but was caught off guard and was shocked. He saw that he was a half-old man with a disheveled face and two tubes of big noses.
He exclaimed: "What are you going to do? Let go!"
Only then did Yan Zhaoshi realize that he was reckless. He had made frequent changes in the past two days, and he had lost his composure for a while.
He quickly let go of his hand and said apologetically: "Sorry, I am Yan Jingxiu's uncle. We have seen him last time, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another student. The student looked at him in surprise and couldn't believe it: "No, I remember that classmate Yan's uncle is a humble gentleman, not you."
The student who had just been caught in the sleeve nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I think this person is probably a refugee. There are so many scammers these days. Let's leave quickly, don't let him get involved."
The student said, dusting off the sleeves that Yan Zhaoshi had grabbed, and then left without looking back.
Yan Zhaoshi sighed, and he knew without thinking that he must be very sloppy at this time. These two people only had one-sided friendship with him, so it was normal that they could not recognize him.
Yes, he used to be a humble gentleman, no, now he is also a humble gentleman, just fate is used to make people, and fortune is used to make people.
He glanced at the backs of the two men who were leaving, and sighed again.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice: "Uncle Second?"
Yan Zhaoshi suddenly turned around, Yan Jingxiu held the book and stood behind him.
The last class today was music. The teacher who taught music asked for leave, and this class became self-study. Yan Jingxiu and Ye Sheng left the academy early. The nearby bookstores have a new batch of books today, and they are in a hurry to read it.
After reading the book, Ye Sheng suggested to go to Xiao Shaoxing next to him for dinner. It was inconvenient to bring the book, so Yan Jingxiu asked Ye Sheng to go to Xiao Shaoxing first to take a seat. He took the newly bought books back to the academy.
Yan Jingxiu never expected that he would see Yan Zhaoshi outside the academy, and that was so down and out.
Yan Zhaoshi did not see the fleeting disgust in Yan Jingxiu's eyes. He was surprised and happy. He reached out and grabbed Yan Jingxiu's arms. Thinking of what happened in the past few days, his lips trembled and could not speak.
"Senior Yan, what books did you buy?"
Several students greeted Yan Jingxiu. When they saw the middle-aged man holding Yan's arms tightly, they were stunned. This person was a refugee.
Yan Jingxiu nodded to the people: "There are a lot of new books in the bookstore, please go quickly."
Several people agreed with a smile, but they still looked at Yan Zhaoshi a few more times.
Seeing the students walking out of the academy in a steady stream, Yan Jingxiu didn't want everyone to see Yan Zhaoshi.
He said warmly: "Uncle Second, let's find a place to sit down."
Yan Zhaoshi nodded quickly, it was great, he finally saw Ashu. His extremely tired heart finally relaxed at this moment.
Almost all shops of all sizes are open for students, and the money they earn is also earned. Now it is time to finish school, and there are students in any shop.
Yan Jingxiu didn't want his classmates to see Yan Zhaoshi. After thinking for a while, he remembered that there was a small noodle restaurant. Because a few students ate noodles here a while ago, they vomited and bleeded for two or three days after they went back. After recovering from the illness, they found the noodle restaurant to argue. Although the noodle restaurant owner paid for medical expenses, his business has never recovered. Now the red paper for "transfer" has been pasted at the door.
At this time, there should be no students from Shuren Academy in that shop.
Yan Jingxiu guessed correctly. The noodle restaurant was deserted and the stool was placed upside down on the table, so obviously he didn't expect any guests to come.
Chapter completed!
