Beijing Baichuan Academy

As the annual examination was approaching, Cheng Changchuan was sent back to the academy.

However, his servant was replaced by Cheng Zongyang's man.

The man had a dark face every day, was cold all over, and looked like he wanted to keep away from strangers.

Cheng Changchuan felt aggrieved. He was obviously a young master, but he didn't dare to act bossy in front of this man like he used to.

If he knew who was behind this, he would make that person's life a living hell.

He entered the academy with the black-faced servant boy. As they walked along, he always felt that the atmosphere in the academy was weird.

Many students gathered in groups of three or five to point and talk at him, but when they saw him looking at them, they immediately stopped talking and ran away from him.

That contemptuous look made him feel like a thorn in his side.

When he saw a familiar classmate, he raised his hand to greet him, but the other party acted as if he didn't see him and left in a hurry.

He returned to the student residence, and before he even entered the door, he heard someone mention his name.

"Do you think Cheng Changchuan will still take part in the annual exam?"

"It's better not to come. He was always arm in arm with me before. He must have some dirty thoughts about me. Now that I think about it, I'm scared."

"Hahaha, look at how ugly you look. Even if Cheng Changchuan is a homosexual, he wouldn't be so picky, right?"

"He looks like a handsome man, but I didn't expect that he would actually..."

"I wonder if he is above or below? Hahaha..."

"boom!"

The student was still smiling when he was punched in the face.

"what!"

"Cheng Changchuan, how dare you hit me!"

"Go and call the sir, Cheng Changchuan is crazy!"

The students' residence was instantly thrown into chaos.

Cheng Changchuan's eyes turned red with anger. He rode on the man and punched him one after another, each punch hitting the flesh.

"I'm going to tell you right now whether I'm on top or on the bottom!"

When Cheng Changchuan's servant came, he quickly pulled Cheng Changchuan away.

Cheng Changchuan struggled to move forward, but was grabbed by the wrist by a tall and strong, black-faced servant.

"Sir! Calm down!"

The man on the ground had blood all over his face and could no longer get up.

Cheng Changchuan was so angry that he did something ruthless.

When the teacher of the academy arrived in a hurry, he quickly asked people to carry the person on the ground to the academy's clinic.

Seeing the two people fighting, the president, the dean, and the teacher of the academy all felt a headache.

The one who beat him was the son of the prime minister, and the one who was beaten was the eldest grandson of the prince's tutor. This matter could not be resolved peacefully.

Cheng Zongyang left the court with a deeply frowned brow.

Lately he seems to be haunted by bad luck and everything goes wrong for him.

The Emperor has been very dissatisfied with him recently, which has never happened in his more than ten years as an official.

As soon as I walked out of the palace, I saw servants waiting at the gate.

"Master, something happened to the young master!"

At the same time, Master Wang hurried to Baichuan Academy as soon as he left the palace.

When he arrived at the academy and learned the whole story, and then saw his eldest grandson lying on the couch with a bruised face, Master Wang's face turned black.

Cheng Zongyang naturally understood it clearly. When he saw Master Wang coming out, he hurriedly bowed and stepped forward.

"Master, my son has behaved badly. I am here to apologize to you on his behalf."

The Grand Tutor snorted coldly: "Your Master is truly brave and valiant. What? Does he want to become a military commander?"

"Master, this is indeed my son's fault."

After saying that, he turned around and kicked Cheng Changchuan behind him, "Why don't you apologize to the Master!"

Cheng Changchuan gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved and angry, but he had to bow his head.

"Master, it's my fault. I shouldn't have done that." The hoarse voice carried a hint of unwillingness.

One is a Taifu and the other is a Prime Minister, both are ministers of the first rank.

They worked in the same court, and they would see each other every day. It was not a good thing to be too harsh about this matter, but Taifu Wang was also angry because his eldest grandson was beaten so badly.

Wang Taifu looked at Cheng Changchuan and spoke slowly: "Young master of a noble family, your words and actions represent more than just yourself. Ability is secondary, character is the foundation of life, so take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Wang Taifu flicked his sleeves and left.

Cheng Changchuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Cheng Zongyang's face also looked ugly.

He clearly warned his fellow officers in the investigation, but the matter of Changtian Tower was still leaked.

He looked at his only son with his head hung, feeling disappointed.

If the news that he is a homosexual spreads, which noble lady would dare to marry him?

I'm afraid they are all daughters of third-rate officials who want to curry favor with the Cheng family.

"The annual exam is approaching, so don't be distracted."

If you are well-educated and capable, there is still room for maneuver.

Cheng Zongyang gave his only son a chance in his heart.

After settling the academy's affairs, Cheng Zongyang got on the carriage.

After standing in the palace for most of the day, he rushed to the academy as soon as he left the palace, bowing and apologizing to everyone. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

He stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, then said to the driver outside, "Go back home."

As soon as Cheng Zongyang arrived home, Zhou ran up to him and asked about Cheng Changchuan's situation.

Cheng Zongyang was in a bad mood, so he scolded Zhou and then returned to his study.

Zhou stood there in a daze, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The master himself said that the matter was over, but now that it has been spread, what does it have to do with her?

When she came to her senses, she said to herself, "Oh no!" It would be difficult to find a marriage for Chuan Ge'er in the future.

She has had a lot of worries recently and is in a bad mood, subconsciously thinking about going out and spending money.

He walked to the door, then stopped when he thought of something.

Damn it, there's not much money left in the accounting office.

A few days ago, my daughter caught the eye of Ms. Shangguan, who used to teach the royal princess.

She struck while the iron was hot and spent a large sum of money to hire a female historian to teach her daughter.

She believes it's money well spent.

If his daughter marries well in the future, Chuan Ge'er can still rely on his sister.

But now all the money has been spent, and the only income left is the master’s salary, so the mansion is really stretched to the limit.

She habitually wanted to go to Cheng Yunge for advice.

When I walked outside the yard, I heard bursts of piano sounds coming from inside.

Even though Zhou didn't understand the zither, he still thought the sound was very pleasant.

The sound of the piano stopped, Cheng Yunge slowly stood up and looked at the lady opposite him.

"Not bad, you have a high level of comprehension." Shangguan Jing showed satisfaction.

Cheng Yunge bowed slightly: "Master, you taught me well."

Shangguan Jing stood up and said, "That's all I've learned today. I'll practice diligently every day."

"Yes, Master, take care."

When Zhou saw Shangguan Jing coming out, she immediately smiled.

After Shangguan Jing left, Zhou entered the house.

"Mom, you're here."

"Yun Ge, your piano skills have improved rapidly."

Cheng Yunge raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said as he put away the zither: "This master is the right one."

"By the way, Yun Ge, I don't know how the news about Changtian Tower got out. Now your brother is troubled by the rumors. You have to find a way to help him."

"Also, the Pei family has taken back those dozen shops. Now our family is entirely dependent on your father's salary. I don't know how long we can hold on."

"Mom, let Dad bring Cheng Jiuyuan back."

Cheng Jiuyuan has been away from Beijing for a month, and she clearly feels that things have not been going well at home recently.

"But I heard that Cheng Jiuyuan was so sick as soon as she arrived in Gusu that she couldn't get out of bed."

"Then we should bring him back. After all, we have imperial doctors in the capital. What can we have in a remote area like Gusu? Now that Cheng Jiuyuan is back, do we still have to worry about not having money?"

Zhou nodded: "You are right, I will go find your father now."
