After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Chapter 574: It's really hard to coax people

Gongsun Wen was very angry, but he rolled his eyes and said, "The exam will be held after the New Year. Has your elder brother invited a great scholar to give him advice before the exam?"

I was stunned when Gongsun Wen said this. I really didn't think of asking some great scholar to give Jinping some advice. Didn't we all rely on our own efforts before the college entrance examination? Could it be that asking a master would help us do better in the exam?

Seeing that I was stunned, Gongsun Wen couldn't help but say proudly: "I knew you didn't get it."

I glanced at Gongsun Wen, who seemed to be a bit of a villain, rolled my eyes at him, and asked, "Did anyone introduce you to someone?"

Gongsun Wen puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Yes, it is me."

I didn't control the strength well and broke a string.

Gongsun Wen glanced at me and said, "Looking at your eyes, am I not qualified to be your brother's teacher?"

I threw the strings in my hand and said unhappily, "You are His Majesty's tutor, who dares to say that you are not qualified? I am curious, aren't you very busy? Do you still have time to be my eldest brother's pre-exam tutor?"

Gongsun Wen found a stool and sat down, and Yingchun quickly served him tea.

Gongsun Wen took a sip of tea and said, "I am very busy with official duties, but I can still find time to teach someone. Let your elder brother live in my house. With my personal guidance, your elder brother will surely be the top scholar."

I don't think Gongsun Wen is lying, but when I think about the way he refused to teach my elder brother when I asked him to, I feel that his motives are not pure.

I said defensively, "Forget it. It's a bit unreasonable for you to take time out of your busy schedule to tutor my brother. And with my brother's talent, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get the top spot in the exam."

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes at me and said, "You can be the top scholar if you have talent. Are you still dreaming? Do you know how many students will sign up for the national examination next year? Do you think that all the students who take the national examination are idiots and only your elder brother is a genius? Without the guidance of a great scholar before the examination, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the palace examination. You still want to be the top scholar? It's more like dreaming."

Gongsun Wen started his sharp-tongued style again. My forehead was throbbing when I heard it. I wanted to jump up and slap him, but then I thought about it and realized that he was right. With a famous teacher to guide me before the exam, at least I wouldn't be nervous when I met the emperor.

I had to hold back my temper and said, "Then I'll ask my eldest brother if he's willing."

As soon as I finished speaking, Gongsun Wen was so angry that he laughed. He sneered and said, "So many people came to me for help, but I didn't even look at them. You actually asked your eldest brother for his opinion?"

Ever since he refused to meet me last time, I have been very upset with him. Now I can't bear it anymore. I stood up and said, "I don't need you. Just leave. It doesn't matter if my elder brother doesn't pass the imperial examination. He is the son of the Duke's Mansion. The court will give him a salary. His family also has property, so he won't starve to death in the future."

Gongsun Wen was stunned to see me getting angry when he disagreed with me. He didn't expect that he would condescend to be my elder brother's teacher and have to look at my face. Normally, he would have been unable to bear it and would have walked away. But when he thought that I was still angry and refused to see him, he had to swallow his anger.

He stood up with a look of grievance and said pitifully, "I am not here to be your elder brother's teacher because I am worried that he will not be able to pass the imperial examination."

I have seen many sides of Gongsun Wen: domineering, indifferent, aloof, and calm, but I have never seen him looking so aggrieved.

My heart softened inexplicably, and my clenched fists loosened. I took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I'll send someone to tell Big Brother later. If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

After saying that, I left without looking back.

Because if I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but hug him tightly and not let go.

I finally fall in love with someone, but I know that there is no future with him. I can only suppress this emotion, but he still comes to tease me, and I can hardly suppress this emotion.

Gongsun Wen looked at my back until he could no longer see me, then he sat down on the stool like a deflated ball.

Still watching the servants packing up, Yang sighed secretly, walked up to Gongsun Wen, and said slowly, "Prince Ming, the queen is not in good health, you can't be angry. Prince Ming, if you don't have anything to do in the future, you'd better not come here too often."

After Yang finished speaking, she turned around and left without caring whether Gongsun Wensheng was angry or not.

Gongsun Wen's face turned even paler when he heard this, and his eyes instantly turned red. Even the servants dared to say this to him, so he was afraid that this man was really hard to appease. He closed his eyes in pain, and it took him a long time to calm down, then he stood up and left the house without looking back.

I returned to the yard and just sat down when I saw Yang coming in from the door.

I looked outside the door and asked, "Is he gone?"

Of course, Yang knew who the "he" I was referring to was.

Yang nodded and said, "Prince Ming is gone."

"Didn't he say anything?" I thought about it and asked again.

Yang shook her head and said, "No, but you can see that he is very sad and upset."

I snorted coldly and said, "It's right to be sad. Let him have a taste of being rejected by others."

Yang looked at me, shook her head, sighed, and turned to do her own thing.

Since Gongsun Wen said that he wanted to be Jinping's teacher, I had to tell Jinping about this. So I sent someone to the Royal Academy to tell Jinping a message. Unexpectedly, when he heard it, he was so happy that he immediately packed up his things and went back home.

After Jinping returned home, he was still extremely excited and kept asking, "Ah Man, do you mean the prince won't go back on his word? Is he really willing to accept me as a student? Did he really say that I can live in his house and ask him questions at any time? Ah, ah, ah, how could such a good thing fall on my head? Is this the smoke coming out of our Zhao family's ancestral grave? I actually caught the eye of the Grand Tutor, what kind of shit luck do I have?"

He paced back and forth in the room excitedly, doubting himself. I was annoyed by his noise, and said angrily, "Alright, alright, they came to my house and said it in person, how can you go back on your word? If you keep making such a fuss, I will ignore you and let you go and beg them yourself."

Jinping finally calmed down, scratched his head and chuckled, "I was just too excited, Ah Man, you don't know, the Grand Tutor is a figure respected by scholars all over the world. If I can get his guidance, I will definitely be the top scholar."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Don't be too happy yet. The Master Taifu is very strict. If you don't study hard, he won't show you mercy."

Jinping patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Ah Man, I will study hard and live up to the expectations of the Grand Tutor and your hard work."
