Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 167, Nine Princes
October [-]th, Yaoshan Academy.

In the morning, the students of the academy got up to clean up before dawn. Yesterday, Professor Shanchang and the teachers went to pick up the professors and students from various states and counties, the officials and teachers from the Imperial College, as well as the masters and celebrities from all walks of life in Daqing. Come back in the middle of the night.

And they have to clean up the outer hall and all the corridors, and wait for the teachers and students to take out their calligraphy and paintings and hang them under the colored lights for viewing.

Chi Xingchang, a student of the Chi family, approached Zhu Zhixing and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhixing, I went home last night and heard from my father that the son was seriously injured and came back last night. Once he came back, he changed his clothes and went out again. The people in the school were almost frightened to death when they saw the scars on Shizi, and they wondered if Shizi could come to the academy today, I reckoned that he would not be able to, and even if he came, he would have to brace himself to come."

Zhu Zhixing asked in surprise: "Really? If the son can't come, then the woman can't."

"I told you a long time ago that you don't need to worry too much. Why should we be afraid of her, a lowly mountain woman like her?" said the student of the Zhu family.

Zhu Zhixing let out a long breath, he smiled and nodded, he was right, why was he afraid of that fat woman?
So, I continued to wipe the corridor with a few people with peace of mind.

Qiao Maoshu comforted: "Brother Zhi Xing, if she dares to show up, we will sue the teacher together and expel her from the academy immediately. Brother Zhi Xing must not be wronged in the slightest."

The four made up their minds, as soon as the woman appeared, they had already thought of various ways to make her disappear in the academy.

In the courtyard of the teachers, Yan Ziqin closed the door of the bookstore for two days because of the painting and calligraphy exhibition, and stayed in the academy all the time.

It was just dawn, and he was still asleep in his sleep, when he heard Mr. Tang Shan knocking on his door outside.

After Yan Ziqin put on his clothes, he got up, washed up, and hurried out.

The three of them came to Tang Shanzhang's hall, and Yan Ziqin knew why they called him up so early.

So, he rubbed his eyes and said: "It's still early, I haven't woken up yet, I'm going to pick up Mrs Xiao now, it's too early, it's inappropriate!"

Professor Wei had already dressed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ziqin, something happened suddenly, and Mrs. Xiao had to come earlier for some things. First, the students who came to the Imperial College yesterday were very crazy. The attitude is extremely contemptuous, it seems that they have brought some incredible works this time, I think we should consult with Mrs. Xiao, and quickly come up with some unique moves, so that they cannot be compared by the Imperial College."

When he thought of the people he met yesterday, he felt uneasy. Yaoshan Academy must not be suppressed by other academies.

Tang Shanchang's brows were serious, and he sighed: "Yes, the Imperial College has recruited a lot of students in the past two or three years, and there are students from all neighboring countries. They have a lot of background, so you can't underestimate them. You know Mr. Zhang, how can you treat these students?" Personally, I am full of praise. Regardless of poetry, calligraphy and painting, if you are proficient in everything, it’s okay if our poetry is not as good as it is, but calligraphy and painting are not occupied by the Imperial College. This year, no matter what, you have to fight for Yaoshan Academy. Don’t hesitate Now, hurry up and bring Mrs. Xiao over, let's discuss the countermeasures, we've seen them all, at least say a few words to her, so that she can have a bottom line, so that she won't be in a hurry."

what?
Yan Ziqin looked at the two of them in surprise. This painting and calligraphy exhibition was supposed to be an opportunity for students from different states to exchange ideas. How could it look like students from different states competed for the first place?
"Brother Tang, Brother Wei, please tell me honestly, why are there so many people participating in this autumn exhibition? Is there any distinguished person who wants to come? It is rare for Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu to come together. I really can't imagine who else will come?" Yan Ziqin asked.

In the past, the calligraphy and painting exhibition was just an exchange of ideas between students from various states and counties. It was not as good as the previous two Enke Champions, and the ladies from the princes and marquises of various countries came here. Why are there so many people coming this time?

Chief Tang Shan and Professor Wei looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Professor Wei said: "Brother Ziqin, several heirs from the Duke's Mansion and the Prince's family are here, and one is the Prince..."

Yan Ziqin was stunned. There were so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the small autumn painting and calligraphy exhibition. However, it is not uncommon to see princes and princes. There are also them in calligraphy and painting exhibitions in other states and counties!

"Which session didn't have noble people participate? It's worth our panic? But it's rare for a prince to come, so why isn't there any news?" Yan Ziqin asked.

Professor Wei said: "Only the Jingyuan Hou's family received a letter in advance, saying that the second lady of the Duke's mansion was coming, accompanied by a few princes and the Duke, but did not say that there was a prince, until last night everyone arrived. It was only when I saw that there was a prince coming."

Yan Ziqin was terrified, and he was so frightened that he trembled. Fortunately, the prince is here, so come as soon as the prince comes. With the Marquis Mansion in front of him, they don't need to make any preparations.

Only to hear Professor Wei say again: "It's the Nine Princes of the dynasty!"

Yan Ziqin was taken aback, he called out in surprise: "Ninth Prince?"

Six or seven years ago, the emperor ascended the throne at the end of the year. At that time, it was the Ninth Prince who competed with the emperor for the throne. The emperor had more counselors and guards, and the Yu family was second to none. The son of the Yu family ate and slept with the emperor. It is said that the son of the Yu family was cruel and violent. Almost all the shocking things that the emperor did were all done by him. This person was very resourceful. He was the emperor of the prince at the time, and he was rescued by him several times. His whereabouts are still unknown, and he suddenly disappeared during the Daqing Dynasty.

So the emperor put the Ninth Prince under house arrest for five years, and just after he was released this year, he came to participate in the Autumn Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition?

Yan Ziqin wiped the sweat from his brow, and sighed: "I hope the Ninth Prince is here to relax, and don't let anything happen in Yaoshan!"

Tang Shanchang said sadly: "Yes, it doesn't matter if there is trouble in Yaoshan, but we must not make trouble in the academy, then we all will suffer!"

Professor Wei said: "Shan Zhang, the Ninth Prince is now in the Hou's mansion. The son sent people to take care of it early in the morning, and asked Shi County Magistrate to arrange more people around the academy. There is no danger for a group of literati to be together."

"It was the Ninth Prince who talked about the first prize when he was talking to the prince of the Hou Mansion last night. The Ninth Prince just came out of house arrest and said that he wanted to set up a prize in the calligraphy and painting exhibition competition, so the students from the Imperial College and the prefectures and counties did it. Let's face the battle actively, hurry up and let Mrs. Xiao come over early, find an aunt to teach her etiquette, don't lose the people from Yaoshan Academy when you go on stage!" Tang Shan said long.

Yan Ziqin felt that what Tang Shan said was reasonable. Generally, when students discuss calligraphy and painting together, they use brush and ink calligraphy and painting, because different places are very different, so they don't stick to etiquette. Being under house arrest by the Holy One, that is also the Ninth Prince, the younger brother of the Holy One, a member of the royal family, disrespecting him is disrespecting the royal family, the etiquette must be thoughtful.

However, they are scholars, and it is impossible to go to the Ninth Prince to give a big gift, so you can rest assured.
