gentleman's manor

"Dean!" Someone exclaimed.

Standing at the door was a monk in a black cassock. He was a priest in the academy with a high status, and the students all respected him.At this time, he was standing at the door, his old face was solemn and cold, and he looked very angry.

To my surprise, John was also standing beside him, wasn't he hiding in the room?How did it come out?

John wiped his tears and ran to me: "No, Adam, don't do this for me, you don't deserve this insult."

"This child came to me crying and said that he was willing to leave the school automatically, but he didn't want his friends to be bullied. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing. It is not up to outsiders to point out what kind of students our school should accept. , let alone pointing fingers, Mr. Dean, what do you think?" The monk looked at the fat Mr. Dean beside him sternly.

The dean was in a cold sweat: "What the adults said is that we have absolutely no intention of driving this child out of school."

"It's better not to, Locke Public School was established by His Majesty the King 100 years ago. It has changed, and I hope everyone here will remember that," said the monk sharply.

Then the monk turned his eyes to me, his sharp eyes softened, and he waved to me: "Come here, child."

"Hello, sir." I bowed slightly to him.

"I want to praise you, good boy, because your behavior today is very brave. You protected your friend. I am proud of you. Although you have bent your knees, you have straightened your noble character." The monk said.

What happened on this day had an extraordinary impact on me. The senior monk personally gave me a silver badge. This is a reward that can be pinned on the side wall of the cloak to show off to everyone.The most important thing is that I won the acceptance of all my classmates through this incident. They not only accepted me, but also accepted John, and everything went to a good place.

Maybe someone is still unhappy.

Edward haunted every road I passed with a sullen face, so that I feared for a long time that he would suddenly jump out of nowhere and fight me.It's a good thing he just stared at me with those narrow eyes and didn't take any real action.

Not long after, I discovered that this narrow-minded noble young master began to appear in my field of vision from morning till night.

There are many courses in the school that are self-selected, and students have a wide range of choices. My courses are usually full, and there is no break from morning to night.And that young master got my schedule from nowhere, and followed me all day long, making me feel a gloomy gaze around me from time to time.

What makes me most helpless is that when I tried to reconcile with him, the young master ignored me in a noble and cold manner.And when I gave up on fighting with this kid and decided to ignore him, he kept making trouble in another way.

Like now.

"I think the promulgation of the "Inheritance Law" is of great significance to the stability of the state power. It will help accelerate the flow of all classes and ease the contradictions between the people at the bottom and the people at the top." I said.

"Very good, please sit down." The law tutor said with satisfaction: "What do other people think?"

Immediately, someone stood up: "My opinion is the opposite. I think the existence of this law is a drawback. It makes people in the upper class not think about making progress, and extravagance prevails. If things go on like this, the aristocracy will lose their sharpness and enterprising spirit, and even more so. What's more, it makes people indifferent, family ties are alienated, worshiping money becomes common practice, and profit-seeking is neglected."

The legal tutor seemed to prefer a radical style and gorgeous words, he applauded and said: "A clear stand, this point of view has also caused a lot of debate in the law school of the university, it is very strange that you can see this at a young age. Easy, very good."

Mentors' evaluations are crucial to a student's grades, but in just a few days, I've been ranked down from their favorite student.However, I desperately sought the favor of my mentor for the sake of scholarship. May I ask what this noble young master is doing for?

In the past, Edward seldom showed up in these basic subjects. For a person like him, even if he does not have a title, he will still have the status of a gentleman and land.So they have more time to entertain and socialize, unlike me who study hard every day until late at night, trying to get a place by reading.

However, his mind is very good, especially in mathematics. At first, he could not keep up because of the lack of basic knowledge. After spending time studying a few books, he can solve complex calculations in a blink of an eye, and the speed is extremely fast. Even the tutor All have to admire.

Moreover, as a young master from an aristocratic family, no matter literature, painting, music, fencing or even gardening, he is very good at everything, which is beyond my reach.

I was made nervous by him. You must know that only the top three students who have achieved excellent results in various subjects are the only ones who are exempted from tuition fees every year.If I don't have a scholarship, I'll have to go back to charity school.From that day on, I hardly ever went out, and I was bored in the room every day and studied hard.Subjects such as literature and poetry can not only be obtained by memorizing and memorizing. The average student is not comparable to the student who has been nurtured since childhood. I have to do a lot of reading to improve my literary quality.

One night, John knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that I was reading, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked me: "Adam, why are you stuck in the room all day? Don't you go to the lounge to play? Work and rest. It's also important."

"Didn't I tell you? I have to study hard and find a way to get a scholarship," I said.

"Why? Are you short of money?" he asked.

"It seems so. My father refuses to pay for my future living expenses. If there is no scholarship, I will have to drop out of school." I said.

"Oh..." John paused, and instead of asking why my father refused to pay the tuition, he said, "If you have any difficulties, my family will help you pay the tuition. I told my father about the school. I thank you."

"Dear John, I will tell you if I have difficulties, but I still hope to get a scholarship, which will help me get recommended by universities in the future." I said.

John looked at me with bright eyes: "You are amazing Adam."

"So, are you still busy?"

"No, no, I'm going out first." John shook his head and exited the room.

It makes me wonder what this guy is doing here.

But from that day on, Edward suddenly stopped showing off in class. I guess the young master was probably tired of it, and my tense nerves finally eased a little.

One day when I was out riding a horse, this young master suddenly caught up with me on a horse, and then followed me slowly.

I thought he had something to say to me, so I kept looking at him and waiting for him to speak.

Who knew that he held back for a long time, and said: "You can thank me for being able to study easily here today."

After finishing speaking, he clamped the horse's belly hard, and ran out like the wind, which made me baffled.

However, the young master’s riding posture is still very beautiful. I remember the first time I saw him climb a tall horse with his fat body, and then jump over a high wooden pile with his graceful posture and familiar skills. I was shocked. Speechless, does the fat on this fat man make him look good?

The days pass away quietly in the rich and colorful study life. Although the life in the school is not easy, every day is very fulfilling.From spring to winter, we have spent a year in this school.

I am a 14-year-old boy in an upright growth period. My body is taller, my round face has grown, and my delicate features are highlighted. In the mirror, the longer I grow, the more I look like my father.My father is undoubtedly a beautiful man, he tricked my mother who was carrying a heavy dowry into marriage with just a single face.But I hate this face, I hate the blood that man gave me.

However, this does not affect the attractiveness of this face. Just yesterday I dismissed a male student who had the audacity to try to kiss me. You must know that Locke School is also a church school to some extent. Lian's unbearable attitude, but that student actually did such a bold act, is it really aggrieved in a place where there are only men?

So the arrival of Christmas is as beautiful as a dream for every teenager who lives like a monk.

Last year, John invited me to his house for Christmas after hearing that I planned to stay in school for Christmas, and I jumped at it.The family extended a warm welcome to me. John's father is a very successful businessman. You can see his shrewd appearance and resolute character just by looking at his appearance. He expressed his gratitude to me.After hearing that I was having trouble going to school, he couldn't help but pay for my tuition fees for 4 years. £600 is a lot of money, but he didn't even bat an eye.

I thought that John would invite me to his house this year, but he came up to him with an embarrassed face, hesitated for a long time and said, "This year...I...I can't invite you to my house for the holidays, it's not that I don't want...it's... …yes……"

"Mr. Martin, your servant is already waiting downstairs, you'd better act quickly." A lazy voice suddenly interrupted John.

John shrank his neck, seemed startled, and didn't dare to look at me: "Then...I'm leaving...I...I..."

In the end, he didn't know why, and dragged the box down the stairs pitifully.

And the lazy voice began to poison my ears again: "Look at what I've seen. It turns out that the precious friendship you advertised is nothing more than that. Did he leave you here alone for Christmas? It's so pathetic."

Edward squinted at me, looking smug.

I think, he is still, so fat.

Or it can be said that he is very strong, he is the tallest and largest student in our whole grade, but he always likes to look at people with his chin.

"I don't know what advice you came here for." I said impolitely, seeing what John looked like just now, I still don't understand. This little bastard, Edward, must have threatened John.

"Hmph, are you angry? You don't have to show face to me when others refuse to invite you. This is not what a gentleman does." He said with a smile.

"If you have nothing else to do, I want to take my leave first." Just to taunt me and make me miss Christmas dinner at John's house, this kid is getting more and more annoying.

"Cough!" He suddenly coughed, his eyes moved to the corner of the wall, his face flushed suddenly, and he said quickly: "For the sake of your desolation, I can invite you to my house out of generosity and kindness." Christmas."
