Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

Qiao Xiaoxi remained silent and didn't want to say any more words.

With his own efforts, Li Tianyou successfully entered Shanyang Academy and began his journey of studying.

For Qian Xiucai, entering this official school means that Li Tianyou's future is full of infinite possibilities and hope.

Qian Xiucai is already in his seventies and has rich life experience. He understands that knowledge can change destiny.

What we see now is a smooth road, but no one can guarantee that there will be no setbacks or failures in the future.

Let this elderly scholar spend his later years happily with this beautiful expectation in mind!

Qiao Xiaoxi didn't want to destroy the old scholar's dream of clearing his name.

After breakfast, Li Yanming began to pack Li Tianyou's luggage.

Qiao Xiaoxi and Li Tianyou sat quietly in front of Qian Xiucai and listened to what Qian Xiucai said.

Qian Xiucai smiled and asked Qiao Xiaoxi softly, "What's the name of the dean of Shanyang Academy now?"

Qiao Xiaoxi raised her head slightly and said with a smile: "The last name is Xie. Dean Xie is quite similar to you, both of them are like old immortals. And Dean Xie also said that he will personally teach Tianyou carefully."

When Qian Xiucai heard Qiao Xiaoxi compare him to Dean Xie, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Especially when he heard the words "like an old immortal", he felt even more comfortable and happy.

Qian Xiucai's smile grew brighter, and he said with a laugh, "That's great! That's great! With such a virtuous and respected person like Prime Minister Xie teaching me personally, Tianyou can be said to have stepped on the threshold of becoming the top scholar."

It seems that I have already seen the glory of God's future in which I will be admitted to a prestigious university and bring honor to my family, and clear my name for myself.

Wow! Dean Xie is actually the Prime Minister?

You have to know that Dean Xie is the immediate superior of my scumbag father!

"Sir, sir said that Dean Xie is the Prime Minister!" Qiao Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

"That's right, but he is not the current Prime Minister, but the former Prime Minister who has retired to the countryside." Qian Xiucai replied with a smile.

It turns out that Dean Xie and Scholar Qian are not only from the same hometown, but also graduated from the same imperial examination class!

It is said that Qian Xiucai became famous early on for his extraordinary talent and ability.

Although Dean Xie is well-educated and knowledgeable, he is unfortunately too dazzling to be completely overshadowed by Mr. Qian.

This situation is no different from the Olympic Games held in today's society.

People tend to only remember the champion, but most of the time few people pay attention to the runner-up.

Because of this, in the eyes of local residents in Shanyang County, it seems that there is only one person named Qian Xiucai, but they know very little or even nothing about President Xie.

Back then, the talented Qian Xiucai should have been the top scorer in the imperial examination. However, fate played a joke on him and he was unexpectedly deprived of the title.

At this time, the lucky Dean Xie happened to fill this vacancy and became the top scorer of the subject.

No one knew about my ten years of hard study, but I became famous overnight.

Since then, people in Shanyang County only knew about President Xie, the new top scholar, but gradually forgot about the once glorious Scholar Qian.

Qian Xiucai said to his beloved disciple: "I have given Tianyou outstanding talent and vigor. Now I need Dean Xie to teach Tianyou how to restrain these brilliances so that he can better embark on the path of becoming the top scholar."

Qiao Xiaoxi asked curiously, "Dean Xie, was he a reserved person back then?"

Qian Xiucai recalled the past and answered slowly: "Dean Xie has experienced many vicissitudes of life. He is old but has a steady personality. When he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he never interacted with others. He just stayed alone in the inn, buried in the books of sages."

At this point, Qian Xiucai couldn't help but sighed: "If I hadn't been greedy for fun back then, and had stayed in the inn to study quietly, and hadn't participated in those meaningless gatherings, even if it was just to be in a daze, maybe I wouldn't have encountered the disaster that happened later."

After hearing these words, Qiao Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.

For Li Tianyou, being able to receive personal instruction from Dean Xie is definitely a rare opportunity.

Dean Xie was not only once the top scholar, but also served as the prime minister. One can imagine how valuable the experience and wisdom he has accumulated throughout his life must be.

If this knowledge were passed on to Li Tianyou, even if Li Tianyou ultimately failed to pass the imperial examination, he would definitely benefit from it for life.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Qian Xiucai.

This old scholar ruined his own future because he relied on his talent and was arrogant and did not know how to hide his shortcomings.

Such examples are not uncommon in history.

For example, Tang Bohu and Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty were both talented people, but they were too ostentatious in the capital, failed in the imperial examinations, and had a difficult career.

As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise", although Tang Bohu ruined his official career because of this, he became an outstanding painter and went down in history for his outstanding artistic attainments.

Although Wang Yangming had a bumpy career, he established the far-reaching theory of mind through constant hard work, which is still passed down by later generations.

From the experiences of these characters, we can see that the road of life is always full of variables and twists and turns.

Sometimes, a seemingly unfortunate experience may be a test or a turning point given to us by fate.

Qian Xiucai devoted his entire life to teaching and educating people. He placed all his hopes on his students, hoping that they would be able to clear his grievances one day!

Qiao Xiaoxi thought to herself that if she wanted to get rid of this false accusation, she had to rely on her own efforts.

Looking at the elderly Mr. Qian in front of him, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

As a young person from modern society, wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant for me to comment on the ancients and even try to correct their ideas?

Li Yanming quickly packed his bag and put a backpack full of things on his back.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaoxi hurriedly picked up an empty backpack and prepared to carry it.

At this moment, Li Yanming suddenly reached out, grabbed the backpack on Qiao Xiaoxi's back and said, "Girl, what are you doing with this backpack?"

Qiao Xiaoxi replied with a smile: "When we get to the county town, if Brother Li needs to buy something, I can help carry it for you."

Li Yanming had a doting smile on his face and said to Qiao Xiaoxi, "Brother Li, this backpack is a big one. It can hold a lot of things. If you want to buy something, just tell Brother Li. Brother Li will definitely bring it back for you. You don't have to carry it yourself."

As he spoke, he patted his own shoulders, which looked very strong.

After hearing what Li Yanming said, Qiao Xiaoxi turned around coquettishly, with the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a bright smile.

Those big watery eyes curved into a crescent shape, and said happily: "Brother Li is so kind! This way, Tianyou and I don't have to bring anything. We can go to the county town with Brother Li easily."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Qian Xiucai left first.

Li Yanming picked up the backpack full of food and walked out of the yard.

Qiao Xiaoxi held Li Tianyou's little hand, and the two of them jumped around, talking and laughing like two happy little birds.

They walked with light steps and full of energy, as if the whole world became brighter because of them.

Qiao Xiaoxi and Li Tianyou walked happily in front of Li Yanming, and the three of them set out on the journey to the county town together.
