Chapter 126 Gu Tingye Enters Sheng Family
Nanny Kong left the Sheng family.
This means that the girls' upbringing is over.
In this case, the girls' future destination is worth discussing.
Should we let the girls continue to attend Mr. Zhuang’s class, or should we just give up?
But before that, there is one more thing I need to mention - Gu Tingye has also entered the Sheng family to study these days.
It all started with "Sheng Bailan".
He had previously asked Gu Tingye not to go to Bailu Academy, but to study at home instead.
Now it seems that Gu Tingye has come to Beijing.
I also heard him say that if he passed the provincial examination, he would come back to study.
When Changbai heard this, he thought, isn't this just perfect?
He immediately instigated Gu Tingye not to wait for the results of the provincial examination.
I might as well just wait.
Next year's spring examination is not far away, so you'd better seize the time and study at home.
Gu Tingye was also moved when he heard this.
After all, Changbai and Yang Wenyuan both studied in the Sheng family, and there was also the great scholar Zhuang Xuejiu here. Oh, by the way, there was also a younger brother Changfeng from Yangzhou as a bonus, so naturally he readily agreed.
Seeing that Gu Tingye agreed, Changbai turned around and reported to Sheng Hong and Zhuang Xuejiu.
Zhuang Xuejiu agreed without thinking.
In the past, the number of students in his private school was always in the double digits.
There are only a few students in Sheng's private school now, so it is not difficult to teach a few girls, and it would not matter if there are more.
Being powerful means being arrogant!
Sheng Hong naturally had nothing to say and immediately nodded in agreement.
I was secretly delighted in my heart: It wouldn't hurt to have more legitimate sons of marquisates and dukes like this!
These are all solid connections!
With the only son of the Pingyang Marquis and the Qiguo Duke studying in the family school, Sheng Hong was already well taken care of in the officialdom - officials related to the two families took good care of Sheng Hong, and unrelated officials would not deliberately make things difficult for him in official matters.
Sheng Hong's life can be said to be going smoothly.
And as the Sheng family academy became famous in Bianliang.
During this period, many families tried to hint at the idea of enrolling their sons in the Sheng family academy, but Sheng Hong naturally rejected the idea on the grounds that Princess Pingning did not like Qi Heng to have contact with too many people.
This is indeed true.
After all, when Princess Pingning sent Qi Heng to the Sheng family, she said, "The school is a place for learning. If they are not dedicated to learning, don't let them come."
I don’t know whether Princess Pingning anticipated Sheng Hong’s difficulties or simply came here for “self-centeredness”, but in any case, she solved a big problem for Sheng Hong.
It involves the golden words of Princess Pingning.
Knowing her arrogant and conceited personality, other people no longer had the courage to "forcefully lock up the man" against Sheng Hong, so they had to give up.
As for Gu Tingye.
He is a relative of Princess Pingning, and even Qi Heng has to call him "Second Uncle Gu". Based on this relationship, even Princess Pingning probably wouldn't be able to say anything.
Not to mention that Gu Tingye has turned over a new leaf, overcome all difficulties and embarked on the path of imperial examinations, and has already passed the provincial examination.
There is also a possibility of passing the current provincial examination.
That's a matter of course!
So after Sheng Hong nodded, he immediately began to prepare the seating arrangements.
However, due to this, the number of males was five.
Among the girls, Hualan had long stopped going to the academy because she had to avoid suspicion before marriage and could not stay in the same room with Yang Wenyuan. They often met each other, so she only had the three little ones left. Nanny Kong's etiquette class was over. Should the three little ones go to Zhuang Xuejiu's class again?
Considering that there were only four seats at most in his own classroom, Sheng Hong was inclined to let the girls return to the backyard. They had just finished Nanny Kong's lesson and could just go back to the backyard to order some tea and enjoy the fragrance.
But when I think of Molan, I realize that she really likes poetry and literature.
And I had just punished Molan not long ago. If I don't let her study now, I'm afraid Molan will be angry for a long time again.
Sheng Hong will stay at Linqi Pavilion tonight.
Seeing Sheng Hong frowning and thinking beside the bed, Lin Qinshuang asked, "Honglang, the eldest lady's wedding is coming soon, why are you still so sad? Is there something bothering you?"
Sheng Hong was thinking about it.
Lin Qinshuang happened to be here, and she immediately said:
"Changbai came to me today and said that Gu Erlang from Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion would also come to my house to study, and I agreed."
"Gu Jiaerlang?"
Lin Qinshuang's impression of Gu Tingye still remained in Yangzhou, so she immediately looked surprised and said:
"Gu Erlang also wants to study?"
Then he also shook his head and said:
"No wonder the master is so worried. This matter is indeed difficult to handle. If we allow Gu Erlang to enter our private school, I'm afraid it will ruin the atmosphere. But if we refuse, I'm afraid it won't look good either."
Sheng Hong knew that Lin Qinshuang had misunderstood, and explained:
"Gu Tingye has recovered now. He also participated in the provincial examination in Bailudong not long ago. He came back specially for Wenyuan's marriage. It is not reasonable for me to refuse him, so I accepted it."
"Then why are you still worried, Honglang? Another son of a noble family has entered the family school. Your career as an official will be more prosperous, Honglang. Isn't this a great thing?"
Sheng Hong nodded.
You see, this is the difference between people.
Sheng Hong was at Wang Ruofu's place just now.
As a result, as soon as she told Wang Ruofu about Gu Tingye's affairs, she immediately started to complain, saying that Gu Tingye should not have been allowed in. Even though he had made some progress in his studies, he was probably still the same carefree person and might easily lead Changbai astray.
But after Lin Qinshuang said this, Shuang'er immediately understood that this was a great event and would be the best thing for her official career.
This kind of invisible network resource is something that others can't even ask for.
How could Sheng Hong push it outside?
Sheng Hong continued:
"That's a good thing, but I'm thinking now that there are too many men in the school, and with the screen in the middle, there won't be enough room for them to sit. So I'm planning to let my daughter not go back to the village to study. She's already studied for so many days, and she can study the craft taught by Madam Kong in her own room in the future."
Lin Qinshuang naturally disagreed after hearing this.
Although he said in his heart that he had no hope for the relationship between Molan and Qi Heng.
But what if?
If Qi Heng happened to fall in love with Mo'er, even though there was a huge difference in their status and there was the sword of Princess Pingning hanging over his head, after all, the Duke of Qi's Mansion only had Qi Heng as his son.
As long as Qi Heng is determined to marry no one but his own Mo'er, Princess Pingning will have no choice.
Although Lin Qinshuang had never met Qi Heng, based on the descriptions of her own Molan and Changfeng, as well as rumors from the outside world, she roughly understood that Qi Heng might be a lovesick man.
If my own Mo'er caught Qi Heng's eye.
From then on, it would probably be easier to control him than to control Sheng Hong himself.
"Honglang, you know Mo'er very well."
Lin Qinshuang's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her expression was slightly uneasy:
"She has always been talented and likes poetry and prose. When she was in Madam Kong's class before, Mo'er often told me that she wanted to go back to Zhuang Xuejiu's class..."
