Gu Zhao thought that as long as he didn't leave the academy, he would be able to live in peace. Unexpectedly, someone came to the academy and made his identity known to the public. Now everyone in the academy knew that Gu Zhao was the one who was banned due to vaccination against vaccinia. Viscount.

Gu Zhao didn't expect that Qiao Huan's cousin, who seemed smarter than Qiao Huan, would salute him in front of others, calling him Viscount Gu, sincerely invited him to the reception, and blamed Qiao Huan next to him. Huan did not explain clearly to Gu Zijue, and kept Gu Zijue's identity from him.

At that time, there were many students in the academy nearby, and they heard the words of the magistrate clearly. They looked at Gu Zhao in shock. It turned out that Gu Zhao was really the Viscount Gu Zhao. No wonder they had the same name and surname. .

It turned out that this guy was just superficially shrewd, and Gu Zhao's impression of him fell to the bottom in an instant: "Young Master Wan, Gu's studies are important, and he has no time to attend any of your parties, so please forgive Gu for not being with you. Qiao Huan ,gone."

Qiao Huan was also so angry by this cousin that his teeth itch. Gu Zhao didn't want to be known by others, so he didn't say anything when he found out last time. Unexpectedly, he was completely destroyed by his cousin. Gu Zhao's appearance is good, is Gu Zhao a fool like Qiao Huan?

"Cousin, don't you know that Gu Zijue doesn't want anyone to disturb his quietness in the academy? Otherwise, the news that Gu Zijue came to Wensi Academy has already spread in Jiangnan, cousin, you should leave early."

After Qiao Huan finished speaking, he hurried to catch up with Gu Zhao. The rest of the people were in an uproar. The viscount was admitted to their academy with his real skills, and his results in the monthly exam last time were pretty good.

Wan Maosheng didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be criticized by his cousin's idiot, so he walked away angrily, leaving a group of students talking non-stop.

"It's really Viscount Gu."

"I didn't hear that Gu Zijue didn't want to reveal his identity at all. It's good now that he was destroyed by this young master."

"Yeah, Gu Zijue is serious about his studies. I heard that the three of them left their hometown to study abroad. Our academy is the last stop. They will go back to take the provincial examination this autumn. They are really not pretending."

"I didn't expect such a man of influence to be by our side. If it wasn't for Mr. Wan who revealed it, we probably wouldn't know until Gu Zijue was elected. Do you think the dean knows about it?"

"Maybe he knew it, but he didn't reveal it because Gu Zijue didn't want to make it public."

"I didn't expect Qiao Huan to have a little sense this time. I said how dare Gu Zijue beat Qiao Huan to the point of crying. It turned out that he had the confidence. It's no wonder that Qiao Huan never thought of revenge. The viscount is approaching."

"You misunderstood Qiao Huan. Qiao Huan should have only recently found out about Gu Zijue's identity. Everything has something to do with the very active Mr. Ding recently. Last time, it seemed that Qiao Huan sent a post to Gu Zijue. Busy shirked it, but this man surnamed Wan came over to invite Gu Zijue on his own initiative."

This matter spread to all the masters and deans that day. The exposure of Gu Zhao's identity made many students in the academy feel uneasy. They were also very displeased with Wan Maosheng's actions. son.

The dean personally ordered: "Recently, no outsiders should be allowed to enter the academy, so as not to affect the study of the students. There are many students in the academy who will take the provincial examination this autumn."

A vice president said: "That Mr. Ding came to the south of the Yangtze River, and he is indeed very active. Could it be that Ding Shangshu in Beijing has already joined the team?"

They are not deaf to what is going on outside the window. If they want to write a good policy theory, they must pay close attention to current affairs and court affairs, and try to figure out what they want. Therefore, this Mr. Ding appeared in the south of the Yangtze River and made many friends. When they are blind, they can’t understand?That's why Wan Maosheng couldn't wait to get close to him, not sure if that was the intention of the prefect Wan.

The dean said: "Don't care what Ding Shangshu and Wan Zhifu mean, we Wensi Academy has a school motto, and we will not interfere in any disputes in the court."

"Yes, Dean."

"Gu Zijue only stays in the academy for a few months, and the impact will not be too great. Don't worry too much, and with Gu Zijue here, you can also set a good example for other students."

"That's right, the dean is right. Gu Zijue is very diligent and studious. If Gu Zijue is like this, the other students should work harder."

After they found out about Gu Zhao's identity, they paid more attention to Gu Zhao, so they knew that this student was indeed a very hardworking student, rather than resting on the credit book and not thinking about making progress. As their masters, they did not ask the student's background , only to educate talents who are useful for the country and the family.

Thinking of it this way, everyone's hearts settled down, but since then, including the dean, they have given Gu Zhao a lot of small talk in private, and they also admire and are optimistic about Song Ze and Ye Xiuming who are walking with him.

The three people's usual exercises and the strategies and theories written during the exam will be judged by the master and the deans. Song Ze's essays are naturally the best, but Gu Zhao is the first, and the latter also knows where his shortcomings are, so each round of strategy and discussion has improved a lot compared to the last time.

In addition, Gu Zhao's arithmetic is also the best in the entire academy. The master who teaches this course thinks that he has nothing to teach Gu Zhao in terms of arithmetic.

Gu Zhao also heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that other masters treated him no differently after his identity was exposed. He was also worried that the masters would have opinions on him, which would affect the learning atmosphere of the academy. Obviously he was thinking too much. The masters here They are indeed talented and broad-minded, worthy of his respect.

In order to avoid the limelight, Gu Zhao didn't step out of the academy for a whole month, and wrote a letter to Shi Mao outside explaining the situation, telling them not to worry.

In the academy, Gu Zhao was also the same as before. He studied when he needed to study, and made friends when he needed to make friends. Apart from Qiao Huan, he also met a few other friends, who didn't care about their class.

As for those who didn't like him in the past but came here specially this time, Gu Zhao's attitude has not changed from before. Those people tried a few times and found that Gu Ru didn't accept their overtures at all, so they had to calm down and talk in private. There were also some unpleasant words, but even if it reached Gu Zhao's ears, Gu Zhao didn't take it to heart.

Qiao Huan felt that this turmoil had something to do with him. After all, it was his cousin who exposed Gu Zhao's identity, so he stayed in the academy honestly during this time and worked hard rarely. Of course, he was well-informed. Time can bring Gu Zhao outside news.

For example, after his uncle knew what his son had done, he sent his relatives to the academy to ask Gu Zhao to explain, but they were blocked by the academy, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the academy. There were also many rich and powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River and officials who wanted to see him. On Gu Zijue's side, these posts were also blocked, but they were not delivered to Gu Zhao.

In fact, Gu Zhao knew about the latter situation. A teacher in charge of student life asked Gu Zhao alone, asking him if he would accept these posts. Rejected, it would be better if the academy could help him reject it, so that's why what Qiao Huan said happened.

Because of this, Gu Zhao sincerely thanked the masters and deans of Wensi Academy, and it was thankless for them to block these posts, but the academy still blocked them, which is why Gu Zhao now has a quiet study environment, compared to those outside. , the careful thinking of a small number of students in the academy can be regarded as simple.

Of course, it’s not like Gu Zhao didn’t do nothing. In his letter to the capital, he seemed to have unintentionally mentioned the matter of Ding Shangshu’s son coming to the south of the Yangtze River. Needless to say, Gu Mu and the princess will know what it means after reading these words. , It can be regarded as a reminder to the princess in advance.

Driven by Gu Zhao, the atmosphere in the academy gradually stabilized, and there was no longer the fluctuating situation before. People who had a good impression of Gu Zijue had a better impression of him after meeting Gu Zhao himself. At first, he had a mediocre impression, and some people who had believed some opinions about him from outside rumors, now also changed their opinion of him because of his calm attitude.

"Gu Zijue's denial of his father will eventually cause him to suffer from illness. This will not be good for Gu Zijue's future entry into the officialdom."

"But Viscount Gu was raised by the Gu family and his wife. Gu Zijue's genealogy is also included in the Gu family. I heard that there is no Gu Viscount's name on the Yu family's genealogy. Some old stubborn people will have opinions on him, but at that time the court His biological father still tried his best to defend that aunt, and then ran around trying to get her out, how could this not make Viscount Gu feel cold."

"Although he didn't recognize his biological father, Gu Zijue is very affectionate and righteous. The Gu family is poor, but Gu Zijue still recognizes the Gu family and his wife as his parents. How many people can do it? Dazed? Ask yourself, I can't do it."

People who discussed this matter in private sighed when they heard this. Yes, there are few people in the world who can regard wealth as floating clouds, and few people can turn themselves from a peasant boy to a viscount. Moreover, there is no such thing as Gu Zhao With no viscount airs, everyone is still very friendly, and it is very easy for everyone to get along with such a viscount.

In terms of status, aside from those ancestral shadows, there is no one in the entire academy who has a status comparable to Gu Zhao's. He has a fifth-rank title before he becomes an official.

Gu Zhao also doesn't know when the son of Ding Shangshu's family left Jiangnan. Anyway, the last time he heard about him was from Qiao Huan. His schoolwork is getting heavier, and he doesn't even have time to rest He went out to play, but fortunately, Song Ze and Ye Xiuming accompanied him to work hard, so it's not impossible for Gu Zhao to persevere.

The wealthy businessmen and officials in the south of the Yangtze River found that this Gu Zijue really came to study with all his heart, so they gradually stopped thinking about seeing Gu Zijue. Apart from telling the juniors in the family to have the opportunity to get close to Gu Zhao and not to offend Gu Zijue, they also gradually turned to Gu Zijue. Gu Zhao was left behind, and in a blink of an eye, the half-year study period of the three of Gu Zhao was over, and it was time to return to his hometown to take the provincial examination.
