Chapter 28 If you don't agree, come and settle with me

"Today is the first time that the provincial examination class has been opened since the establishment of the academy. You should first do the test paper given by this teacher, so that I can see what level you are at."

Song Yanjin placed the homemade hourglass in the classroom upside down, "The time limit will come when the hourglass is empty."

Xia Yange smiled and nodded, took out a brush and began to grind ink to answer the questions.

"Jia Jing, can you?" Xia Yunheng turned around and looked at the Xiao brothers mercilessly.

Gu Jiajing picked up the brush and drew a cross on the test paper, then held it up and showed it to him with a smile, "No!"

The illegitimate sons in the middle imitated him and scribbled on the paper.

Shen Muzhou, who was sitting alone in a row at the side, ignored the others' laughter and answered the questions silently.

The few people who were looking for trouble couldn't make Song Yanjin angry. It was good that two out of ten of them studied seriously. They took out a book and read it leisurely.

After greeting his brothers, Xia Yunheng quietly read the storybook. He had signed an agreement with his eldest cousin that if he started a trouble, he would be the one to be beaten.

What's the point of Gu Jiajing playing with his younger brothers? He wanted to go to the front row to find his brothers, but when he stood up, he was warned with a ruler thrown at him.

Brother, this cousin is really fierce!

Gu Jiajing touched his head and sat down silently, looking at the test paper boredly. Hey~ He knows this question about military strategy.

There was no noise in the class, so Gongye Zhiqian, who had always been a lackey, picked up his pen and followed the crowd to answer the questions.

They did whatever the bosses did, and Su Youli and Yin Guanshu also picked up their pens.

The hourglass ran out, and the morning passed. Baizhu went out to the yard to ring the bell to dismiss school, and then came back to collect the test papers.

Xia Yange put down her pen helplessly, lamenting that she wished she had more time.

The students all lived in the capital. Due to the severe drought and food shortage, the academy did not provide meals, so the students had to go home for lunch.

Song Yanjin took the ten test papers and got on the carriage back home. He finished reading them along the way. The one he was most satisfied with was Shen Muzhou's answer, which was a perfect answer, showing that he was confident of winning the autumn examination.

Surprisingly, those lackeys marked their test papers in a messy way, but the essays they wrote at the end were quite good. They will surely become great with her teaching guidance in the future. It seems that hanging out with the little bully all day is not all fancy tricks.

Xia Yange was not in good shape when answering the questions. The girl was a little nervous. She did not distinguish the main points from the secondary points in her writing. There were some points that earned points, but her words did not express the main idea clearly.

The brothers gathered in a college, so naturally they had to get together. Gu Jiajing invited Xia Yunheng to Zuixianlou for lunch.

Prices were rising, and a table of ordinary dishes cost a thousand taels of silver, but who was he, Gu Jiajing, so how could he not afford to treat his brothers?

I was playing and laughing with some little brothers in the box!

Several young men from aristocratic families passing by heard this and pushed open the door of the private room, "The prince is so disloyal that he didn't even call me brother when he was having dinner."

Yuchi Taiwei put away the fan in his hand and put it on his waist, then came over and punched Jiajing, "Brother Gu, are you guys alienated from us after leaving the academy?"

Xia Yunheng followed his eldest cousin for a few days and suddenly saw his old playmates, and he felt mixed emotions.

In the past, he lived a carefree life, happy as a god. My cousin is very busy every day, but everything she does is very interesting. Now when he sees his brother and reflects on his past self in the mirror, he feels a little ashamed. Why?

Lu Jie had already poured wine for the two of them, "You are not loyal enough, Prince and Jia Jing must drink a glass as punishment."

When the wine reached his lips, Xia Yunheng quickly pushed it away, "I don't want to drink. Why drink in the middle of the day? Don't you have school in the afternoon?"

Gu Jiajing took a small sip and put the glass in his hand on the table. If his brother didn't want to drink, he wouldn't drink either.

No one present could force Xia Yunheng. Lu Jie put down his wine and joked, "A few days ago, I saw the prince handing out flyers at the primary school on Shuyuan Street. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't find any students and was chased by dogs. I thought I was blind. Has the young lady taught him a lesson in just a few days? Is he going to be a good student?"

"Hahaha"

Everyone joined in the laughter.

Bang~

Gu Jiajing got angry and punched Lu Jie in the face. When he was a child, his sister often went to the army and there was only a wet nurse to take care of him at home. Yunheng was his only playmate in his childhood, so before Xia Yunheng could say anything, he reported to Qingyun Academy where his brother was the next day.

"Crazy Gu, the prince didn't say anything about you, why are you so angry?"

Lu Jie was running around the box like crazy. He was the most ruthless person in this circle!

Xia Yunheng sat down with a gloomy face and picked up his chopsticks to eat, letting his brother rage.

The young masters of noble families who were blocking the door were making a lot of noise, but they knew how to judge the situation. None of them had a higher status than Lu Jie, as he was from the Duke of Yingguo and the nephew of Queen Lu. Who would dare to make fun of the prince?

"Master Yun, stop eating and persuade Brother Gu." Lu Jie pulled Yuchi Taiwei in front of him and shouted, "Crazy Gu, if you dare to hit me, I will ask my aunt to transfer your sister to the cold and barren northern border to let the people beat her up."

Speaking of this, Gu Jiajing became even angrier.

Before he could smash the stool he heard Lu Jie's miserable voice.

Xia Yunheng threw away the other chopstick and said, "Go back and tell your aunt that I was the one who beat him up. If you don't accept it, come and settle the score with me."

The worst that could happen to him is that he would be scolded by his uncle the emperor, but his brother Gu Jiajing would suffer, and it would be his sister who would suffer.

Yuchi Taiwei carried Lu Jie, whose eyes were almost poked out, out in panic. Today's incident was quite a big deal!

The young masters of noble families fled one after another.

The meal ended in displeasure before it even started, and they still had to pay two thousand taels of silver. Xia Yunheng looked at his brothers and smiled bitterly. A few days ago, his eldest cousin was also worried about the two thousand taels of silver, and now they had wasted the two thousand taels.

After leaving Zuixianlou, Xia Yunheng, who was not full, brought his brothers to Xishi to look for his eldest cousin for a meal. It would be better to arrive early than to arrive late, as they arrived just in time to see the eldest cousins ​​preparing to eat.

Gu Jiajing felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had embarrassed Master Song in the morning.

Bai Zhu brought out the food unhappily, thinking that Prince Yun Heng would not come for lunch today for the first time, but she didn't expect that he brought someone with him.

Song Yanjin served the last dish, fried yam with black fungus, brought it to the table and sat down.

Something was wrong with the two of them, so Song Yanjin asked what he was thinking, "Have you two gotten into trouble again?"

Xia Yunheng picked up the bowl to hide his guilty conscience and ate blindly regardless of what dish was in front of him.

The same is true for Gu Jiajing.

As the eldest cousin, she had the right to look after the eldest princess. Song Yanjin slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table and said, "Speak!"

Bai Zhu and Xiao Ruan were used to it. The young lady often taught the playboy a lesson. The two of them were busy eating. However, Gu Jiajing was startled.

Xia Yunheng put down the bowl with a bitter smile, "Cousin, please don't hit me. We did nothing wrong in this matter."

As he ate, he told the cause of the incident and also mentioned his connection with the Young Masters' Circle.

They often got together to spend their days drinking and carousing. The one who was the most talkative among them was Lu Jie, who often did evil things because the queen was his aunt.

Five years ago during the Lantern Festival, while having fun on a pleasure boat, Lu Jie tried to take advantage of Gu Jiajing's cousin. As a result, he was beaten so badly by Gu Jiajing that he could hardly get out of bed and had to recuperate for more than a month.

Later, the Queen found out that she had whispered in the Emperor's ear, and Gu Jiajing's sister, Gu Jiaxing, was transferred from the capital to garrison the frontier.

The hatred between the two has been going on for more than a day or two. Every time they see each other, they are openly or covertly at odds with each other. Xia Yunheng stands on his brother's side, so Lu Jie occasionally restrains himself and often acts like a jerk!
