Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 351: Tan Jijiu Regrets

Tan Jijiu also heard that the Ministry of Rites' translator had a throat problem and could not speak at a critical moment, and his deputy was not in the capital. The idea at that time was that the Ministry of Rites should not have only two translators, and to be on the safe side there should be at least three. See, something went wrong!
When he heard that the emperor had arranged temporary interpreters through recommendations, and that one of them turned out to be the grandson of Minister Wei who had just been found a few days ago, his hand trembled and he cut off a branch he was going to keep. In an instant, the perfectly shaped ancient pine tree had a very obvious flaw.

But now he no longer cared about the bonsai he had accidentally cut. He slowly turned around and looked at Dr. Liu and asked, "Who did you just say was a blockbuster?"

"To reply to the chief priest, there are two of them, one big and one small. The older one is a young lady of about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one is the grandson of Minister Wei, Wei, oh, Wei Kaiyang." Dr. Liu explained in more detail.

Then, Dr. Liu suddenly remembered that Minister Wei originally wanted to send the child to Qishan Academy, but the chief priest refused.

When the chief priest came back yesterday, he mocked Wei Shangshu for not looking down on those crooked ways of taking backdoors. But how could he want to send his grandson to Qishan Academy when he knew that he had been a beggar before he was found?

No matter how much you treasure this grandson, no matter how smart he is, you should at least teach him carefully at home for a year before bringing him out to give it a try. That's reasonable, right?
They also said that the child had clear eyes and handsome features and was a smart child, but that was not the standard for Qishan Academy to admit students!

As a result, the kid made a stunning debut in the Imperial Palace the next day!
"Chief Priest, if not, you should accept the child. Facts have proved that the child has desirable qualities. If you make an exception and accept him, there will be no reason for criticism." After all, Dr. Liu has been teaching in the academy for many years and he is quite familiar with the temperament of the Chief Priest.

The chief priest just lost his composure and it is obvious that he regrets it.

But even if he regretted it, the chief priest would not say it himself.

Tan Jijiu did not ask who heard the news or whether it was reliable. He did not know about others, but those who worked in his academy were not the kind of people who would easily believe hearsay.

"In that case, let you do it. After all, our Qishan Academy values ​​talent." Tan Jijiu pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Dr. Liu stood up immediately and prepared to go out.

At this time, Dr. Jiang, who had been quietly copying at the desk, said, "It would be a waste of time if we go. I heard that the grandson of Minister Wei met Feng Jijiu of Yungu Academy on the way back yesterday, and he has already let the child enter Yungu Academy."

Dr. Jiang still didn't look up when he said this.

Hearing this, Dr. Liu glanced at the chief priest and said, "So what if they entered Yungu Academy? How can Yungu Academy compare with our Qishan Academy? They went to Yungu because they had no other choice. If we are willing to accept them, there is no reason for them not to come."

Dr. Jiang seemed not to have heard these words and continued to copy the calligraphy without distraction.

"Master Jijiu, what do you think? Should I go to Wei's house?" Dr. Liu asked tentatively.

Tan Jijiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. Good birds choose trees to roost in. As for whether they will come or not, that is their own choice."

"Student understands." Dr. Liu walked away.

Although the chief priest had rejected the child from the Wei family before, he now agreed to accept the child, and he, a doctor from the academy, went to the mansion in person to talk to him, instead of just assigning a teacher randomly. This was considered enough face for the Wei family.

At the residence of Minister Wei, dinner had already been served and the servants had taken away the dishes some time ago. Lord Wei was still sitting there excitedly telling Qi, his son and daughter-in-law about what had happened in the palace today.

Because he was so happy that he drank a few more cups, his tone couldn't help but rise a lot: "Tell me, Kaiyang is only seven years old this year, and he has only been with Xiaoduo for less than a year, how come he can learn foreign languages ​​so well that he can even work as an interpreter?
Moreover, this child was entering the palace for the first time, and it was such a big and important occasion, but he didn't get stage fright?

Oh, after all, she is my Wei family's child!" "I think it's also the girl Xiaoduo who is amazing. She is not very old, but she can speak foreign languages. Our Kaiyang is smart, and that's because she taught him well. Didn't you also say that Shi Rong, the translator of the Ministry of Rites, learned from the previous translator for several years, but he made mistakes when he received foreign delegations for the first few times?" Qi said.

After saying this, she was about to persuade her husband to go back to his room and rest. Xiaoduo and Kaiyang would definitely be sent back personally by Prime Minister Dong, so she and her daughter-in-law would just wait there.

Just then, the steward came to report that Dr. Liu from Qishan Academy had arrived, and he had already invited him to have tea in the living room.

"Did you hear that? No need to ask. He must have learned about what happened in the Golden Palace during the day and came here for Kaiyang." Lord Wei sneered.

After returning, Wei Zizheng, who seemed much calmer than his father, said, "Father, how can you make such a conclusion before you even meet him?"

"That's right. I think your father is drunk and doesn't know what's going on." Qi spoke more directly than her son.

The steward thought for a moment and asked, "So, should we just tell him that you are resting? And let him go?"

The steward knew that Qishan Academy had rejected its young master, and according to what the doorman had said just now, he asked Dr. Liu to wait outside the gate.

However, considering that he did not want others to say that his master was petty and narrow-minded, he endured it and invited the guest to the living room for tea first.

"Yes, of course I can. You three should come along to see it. We in the Wei Mansion respect the Qishan Academy very much." Lord Wei said with a smile.

"Zi Zheng's wife and I won't go." Qi said hesitantly.

"Mother, I'm from the academy, not in the officialdom. Father asked us to go together, so let's go and meet him." But Hua wanted to go.

His father told him about it yesterday when he came back. Tan Jijiu didn't even pretend to test Kaiyang and just refused. Kaiyang felt very aggrieved and cried loudly when he met Xiaoduo.

When Kaiyang came back last night, his eyes were still a little swollen. As a mother, she was naturally heartbroken.

Wei Zizheng looked at his wife, opened his mouth but finally said nothing.

The family of four soon arrived in the living room. As soon as Dr. Liu saw them, he stood up and greeted them. He did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Lord Wei looked at his wife and children and said, "What do you think? I guessed it right!"

"Dr. Liu, thank you for taking this trip so late at night. However, my grandson Kaiyang is already a student of Yungu Academy, and it would not be appropriate for him to change his mind and go to your academy. Dr. Liu, please go back and thank Mr. Tan for his kindness on behalf of my family." Although Wei Zizheng drank a lot tonight, he did not drink so much that he lost his mind. His response made Qi feel relieved.

Huh? Just a direct rejection? Dr. Liu found it hard to believe.

"Sir Wei, our chief priest Tan went back yesterday and said that he had no choice but to reject Young Master Kaiyang. As you know, many children of noble families in the capital wanted to enter the academy, but he rejected them all. If he made an exception and accepted Young Master Kaiyang, people would say that he was unfair. It would be bad if other students in the academy had opinions about Young Master Kaiyang.

But now it is different. Young Master Kaiyang's performance in the palace today is enough to shut those people up. Lord Wei, please don't rush to refuse. Otherwise, ask Young Master Kaiyang what he thinks..."
