I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Hearing this, Shen Xiao quickly walked up to Xu Congyi and looked at her carefully. It was not until he heard Xu Congyi's familiar voice that he dared to believe that the young man in front of him was really Xu Congyi.

"Sister Xu, why are you dressed like this?" Shen Xiao asked puzzledly.

Xu Congyi smiled and explained, "Because I want to see Grand Tutor Tang, but as a woman, it is inconvenient for me to enter the academy. So I asked Master Tang to do me a favor and bring me in. I will enter the academy as Master Tang's friend, so that I can see Grand Tutor Tang. How about it, Master Shen, can you not recognize that I am a woman?"

Shen Xiao suddenly understood after listening to Xu Congyi's explanation. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed for not seeing through Xu Congyi's disguise.

Seeing Shen Xiao's reaction, Xu Congyi added: "Mr. Shen, don't worry. I did this just to meet Grand Tutor Tang. I have no other ill intentions. Moreover, I will try my best to keep a low profile and not bring trouble to you and the academy. She also told the reason why she wanted to meet Grand Tutor Tang."

Shen Xiao heard this and saw that Xu Congyi looked normal, so he was relieved. He thought that Xu Congyi didn't hear his conversation with Tang Wenhao that day, so there was no need for him to worry too much. So he nodded to show his understanding.

At noon, the three of them had a simple meal in the restaurant. When it was almost afternoon, the three of them took Tang Wenhao's carriage to the academy. With Tang Wenhao's introduction, Xu Congyi got in easily. She originally thought that she would be strictly checked. After all, in addition to Grand Tutor Tang, the Crown Prince was also present.

They arrived early, so Tang Wenhao decided to take Xu Congyi around the academy. Qizhen Academy was originally a historic building. It was once the old house of the Xiao family, one of the largest imperial merchants in Zhongguo. Although Mr. Xiao was a businessman, he cherished talents. In order to cultivate more talents, he generously donated this mansion for use as an academy. The academy has been cleverly transformed on the basis of retaining the original landscape of the Xiao family. The originally closed courtyard was opened up and turned into a spacious and bright classroom. Xu Congyi strolled in the academy, feeling the unique historical heritage and cultural atmosphere here. She saw that every landscape in the academy was carefully designed, whether it was the scattered pavilions and towers, or the carefully trimmed flowers, plants and trees, they all looked unique. She marveled at the beautiful scenery here, and couldn't help but think of the famous gardens she had visited in modern times. In her opinion, the beauty of Qizhen Academy is even better, because every scene here is full of bookishness and a sense of history.

"A lot of people have come, let's go in quickly," Shen Xiao reminded at the right time.

Led by Tang Wenhao and Shen Xiao, Xu Congyi walked into a spacious and solemn classroom, which was as large as a modern auditorium. The decorations around were simple and elegant, revealing a strong academic atmosphere. They quickly found a seat in the middle and sat down. Xu Congyi was full of anticipation for the arrival of the crown prince and Tang Taishi.

Soon, there was a commotion at the door, and everyone's eyes were cast there. Taishi Tang, surrounded by everyone, slowly walked into the classroom. He was wearing a crimson robe with auspicious clouds on it, and the auspicious clouds on the robe seemed to be floating, showing his extraordinary identity and status. He had a dignified face and a majestic demeanor. Every step he took was so steady, and every gesture revealed an indescribable majesty and dignity.

He stood still, facing the students, stretched out his hands, clasped his fists and bowed, his voice loud but gentle: "Everyone, today I am honored to be with all of you talented people. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had some official business to attend to, so he was unable to come here in person. When he is done, he will definitely come here to chat with you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and bowed to show respect to Grand Tutor Tang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although Xu Congyi didn't quite understand the etiquette here, fortunately they were in the middle, so she could use the people in front of her to slightly cover up her awkwardness.

Grand Tutor Tang waved his hand to signal the students to sit down. After everyone was seated, he spoke again, his voice full of admiration for the students present: "Dear students, it is my honor to be here with you today. You are all the treasures of Qicheng and even the entire Zhongguo, with great talents and lofty ambitions. When I see you, it is like seeing the light of hope for the future of Zhongguo. Each of you carries the glory of your family and the expectations of the country. Your study is not only for yourself, but also for the prosperity of your family and the prosperity of the country. Therefore, I hope that you can study hard and make continuous progress. Your Highness the Crown Prince and I are looking forward to meeting you in the future palace selection..."

Although it was just a few simple polite words, it sounded so different when spoken by Grand Tutor Tang. His voice was full of wisdom and power. Sitting among the crowd, Xu Congyi could not help but be attracted by the unique temperament of Grand Tutor Tang, a calm, wise, and powerful temperament that made people involuntarily convinced and admired.

"Brother Shen Xiao, this Grand Tutor Tang doesn't look very old, why does he call himself 'old man'?" Xu Cong leaned slightly towards Shen Xiao and asked in a low voice.

However, Shen Xiao did not seem to hear her question. His eyes were fixed on Master Tang who was speaking, revealing an indescribable emotion. Xu Congyi found that his hands were clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing something.

In order to cover for Xu Congyi, Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao sat on either side of Xu Congyi. Xu Congyi hadn't realized that something was wrong with Shen Xiao, she thought he was just too excited to see his idol. So, she slightly turned sideways, leaned towards Tang Wenhao, and asked the same question softly.

Tang Wenhao smiled and explained, "Xu Congyi, Master Tang is not really that old, but as the prince's teacher, he has a noble status. In ancient times, people often used "old man" to express modesty and respect. Master Tang calls himself this, which is both a respect for his students and a humble expression of his status."

So that's what happened. She sat up straight again and listened attentively to Master Tang's speech. Master Tang's words were sharp and profound, citing classics and citing a wide range of references. His speaking style was very similar to modern lectures, but more lively and interesting. Xu Congyi was impressed by his talent and knowledge. She listened carefully to every word, afraid of missing any details.

Tang Wenhao leaned back in his chair, his eyes casually sweeping over Xu Congyi, and then falling on Shen Xiao beside her, with a complicated and incomprehensible look.
