Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence
Chapter 30: Trip to the Academy
After breakfast, Su Yu planned to take Xie An in a carriage to the academy where his original body studied. Xie An was holding a box of white sugar osmanthus cake made by Aunt Fang today.
The little girl Xie Nanxing stayed in the mansion with Nanny Wang to learn how to handle some daily affairs and the rules of the mansion.
A moment later, Su Yu stood quietly in front of the academy. This ancient and solemn building exuded an atmosphere of tranquility and solemnity.
On both sides of the academy's main gate stood a huge pillar so thick that it took two people to hug it.
The pillar is decorated with golden characters in delicate strokes, and the couplet on it is well-balanced and profound in meaning: "List the famous springs for thousands of years, and read ten thousand volumes of holy books."
And at the exquisitely carved gate, there are two majestic and imposing stone lions sitting upright.
The plaque in the center is even more eye-catching, with four powerful and vigorous characters engraved on it in dazzling gold-stamping techniques - "Dezhong Academy".
At this moment, the gate of the academy was tightly closed. But in this silence, one could faintly hear the clear voices of students reading aloud from inside the gate.
After Xie An had placed the carriage, Su Yu finally stepped forward. Xie An, standing by, reached out and gently grasped the copper knocker on the door, then slammed it vigorously.
One, two... the continuous knocking sound echoed all around, but no one came to answer the door. After a long time, an elderly man with gray hair slowly poked his head out from the crack of the door. Su Yu knew that this was the gatekeeper Zhou Bo.
He glanced at the person who came with a scrutinizing gaze, and obviously recognized Su Yu. He said, "Mr. Su, please wait outside the door for a while. I will go and inform the master first."
"Okay, Uncle Zhou," Su Yu nodded.
Then the door was closed tightly again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
After waiting for a long time, the door was opened from the inside again. The old man at the door said to Su Yu: "Mr. Yuan asked Mr. Su to go to the study with this old servant to wait for him first."
Su Yu said politely: "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhou."
As Su Yu stepped into the courtyard, he saw that both sides were planted with neatly trimmed low green plants and towering trees behind the short trees. In the middle was a bluestone road, and he crossed the hanging flower gate covered with green vines.
After a few steps, you'll find the main hall. Turning left, you'll pass through a corridor wall, and the sound of reading becomes even louder. Through the carved windows on the corridor, you can vaguely see students swaying their heads as they study with great concentration.
After crossing another circular archway, they arrived outside the study. Uncle Zhou opened the study door, led Su Yu and the others in, and then left.
Su Yu looked around. The study was very neat and tidy. To the left of the desk sat a set of brushes, inkstone, paper, and a small washing basin for brushes. To the right stood an oil lamp. Also to the side of the desk was a large jar, which probably contained Master Yuan's personal paintings.
In front of the desk is a wall of books placed in wooden frames.
The shelf behind the desk probably held some frequently used books. There were only a few of them. To the right of the shelf, near the window, was a small couch suitable for sleeping alone.
What caught Su Yu's attention the most was the wall of books. Su Yu couldn't help but smack his lips in surprise, thinking that these couldn't all be books that needed to be read for the imperial examination. Wasn't that a bit too much?
Su Yu and Xie An stood in the study waiting for a long time. They didn't see anyone coming, nor did they see any maids or servants serving tea. This was obviously a poor treatment.
It was not until half an hour later that footsteps were heard outside the study. A middle-aged man less than seven feet tall, wearing a silver-gray silk corset, came in.
Only when I got closer could I see clearly that he had a face as small as a palm, small triangular eyes, no flesh on his face, and two sly mustaches on his upper lip.
The person before him was his original master, Yuan Dezhong. Seeing Master Yuan, Su Yu hurried forward, kowtowed respectfully, and called out in a low voice, "Master Yuan."
"Hmm," Master Yuan replied indifferently, making it difficult to fathom his emotions. He then reached out and pulled out the chair for the desk, then sat down steadily in front of it.
Su Yu stood opposite Master Yuan, and Xie An stood silently behind Su Yu.
Su Yu said earnestly: "Master Yuan, I, Su Yu, have been recuperating at home due to illness for some time. Today I have come to visit you specially, hoping to continue to study with you and listen to your teachings..."
However, before Su Yu could finish his words, he was abruptly interrupted by Master Yuan.
Master Yuan raised his triangular eyes and glanced quickly at the obese Su Yu standing in front of him with a bit of contempt.
He looked at Su Yu, who was holding only a small box of pastries in his hand. Looking at his stupid appearance, Master Yuan's face became more and more gloomy and ugly.
Before Su Yu could finish, Master Yuan spoke mercilessly, "Su Yu, I have carefully considered this matter. You are not quick-witted and lack diligence. Moreover, you have been studying with me for eight years now, and now you are thirteen years old, and you still haven't made much progress in your studies."
"In my opinion, with your current talent and knowledge, you are not really suited to taking the imperial examination. Rather than wasting your time and money here, it would be better for you to return home early and seek other opportunities."
After saying that, Master Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Su Yu could leave.
Su Yu looked down at Master Yuan who was belittling him in various ways. In fact, he had anticipated this situation before he came.
Because Master Yuan was the founder of Dezhong Academy, and he was still a scholar, but he was always preparing for the imperial examination. He didn't have much energy to manage students.
In addition, he had always disliked Su Yulu and had mostly beaten and scolded him. Even if the original body had told his mother, it would have been useless. Beating and scolding were the normal educational methods used by ancient teachers.
What's more, the original body was not very talented in studying, and there were Song Xuanzhi and three other people in the academy instigating him from behind, and the original body was not a person with a very firm mind.
So he followed in the footsteps of others and did a lot of wrong things, some of which were not done by his original self. After Song Xuanzhi, Lin Lantian and others spread the news, his original self was blamed for everything.
"Master Yuan, I have turned over a new leaf and will not make the same mistake again. Master, can you give me another chance? I..."
"Leave quickly and don't say any more." Master Yuan didn't want to talk to Su Yu anymore, so he interrupted him without hesitation, and looked impatient.
