Pluto's off-line concubine

Chapter 160 The Second Accident, A Big Surprise

Manzhu stared blankly at Shiyi, and after a long time, swallowed hard to regain her senses, she had never seen such a serious Shiyi!Although Shiyi's words were very blunt, they made sense!On the surface, it sounded like he was criticizing Zheng Xuan, but after a little thought, he realized the worry in it!People don't know where to start even if they want to refute!

At this moment, for the first time, Manzhu felt that Shiyi had grown up!

This is the first time she has felt the courage and arrogance of Shi Yi in front of her!

The peaceful life in the past prevented her from having the opportunity to see such a stable and mature side of Shiyi. It turned out that he had already matured without her knowing it!

But she couldn't bear to see Zheng Xuan embarrassed, so Manzhu called out in a low voice, "Shiyi..." The voice was soft, as if she was afraid of scaring others!

Shiyi bowed his head, Manzhu shook his head slightly at him, signaling Shiyi not to talk any more!

Shiyi stared at Manzhu, his eyes softened a lot, and his expression was no longer harsh. Before Shiyi could speak, it was Zheng Xuan who spoke first——

"Miss Manzhu, it doesn't matter to me! The little prince is right, I was really too impulsive! I didn't think carefully beforehand, I only knew how to go my own way, and I didn't know how to change it at all! In the end, not only did I not help, but I also hurt myself , and now, in turn, I want others to worry about me and feel sorry for me!"

Having said that, Zheng Xuan turned his gaze to Manzhu, and said sincerely, "Miss Manzhu, I'm sorry to make you worry,"

Then Zheng Xuan turned to Xiao Liu, who was so dazed that he was almost drooling, and said, "Brother Xiao Liu, I'm sorry for making you suffer with me for so many days!"

In the end, Zheng Xuan turned his gaze to Shiyi, cupped his fists respectfully, and said, "What the little prince taught me is, I am convinced!"

Shiyi raised his head, his expression was still cold, his tone was still stern, and he said, "You are so emotional, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the academy to you!"

"..." Zheng Xuan was puzzled!

Academy?

What academy?

Manzhu also looked at Shiyi suspiciously, what was Shiyi talking about?Zheng Gong Academy was originally founded by Zheng Xuan!It's already his!What did the World Heritage say?Could it be...

Manzhu stared at Shiyi in amazement, waiting for Shiyi to continue speaking with shining eyes...

Shiyi did not continue, but looked down at Manzhu's eyes full of curiosity and expectation and said, "Master Manzhu, do you still remember what you said the day you started teaching Xiaoliu?"

"what?"

Manzhu was stunned, it must be that they just went to Shushan, what did she say that day?She seems to have said a lot, what is Shiyi referring to now?

"The other day, Master Manzhu, you said that in your place, children as old as Xiaoliu are all learning..."

Following Shiyi's words, Manzhu was brought back to the memories of that day...

In the wagon carriage, talking and sleeping during the boring and tedious journey are the best things to pass the time!

Today, that is, the first day when Manzhu officially began to teach Xiao Liu, the topic of their chat will naturally involve Xiao Liu——

"At that time, children as old as Xiaoliu were all in school. The children now are so pitiful! It would be better if they were born in the families of high-ranking officials and nobles! But the children of poor families have lost at the starting line as soon as they are born. In fact, some of them were sold by their families to rich and noble families as slaves, and they have no dreams to speak of in their lives!"

Shiyi stared at Master Manzhu's side face staring out of the window, the helplessness and sadness on her face were deeply imprinted in his heart!

He doesn't have the compassionate heart like Master Manzhu, and he doesn't even care whether people live or die, but he cares about everything about her, even if she sighs or frowns!He wants her to be happy forever, and he doesn't want to see a trace of sadness and sadness on her face...

Manzhu staring out of the window suddenly seemed to think of something, her sad eyes began to brighten, and a strange light was emitted from her delicate face, Manzhu turned her head excitedly and said to Shiyi——

"Shiyi, you said that if everyone has the opportunity to enter the academy - of course I know that this is not realistic, and it may not be able to change their predicament, but at least it gives them a platform to realize their dreams, Give them a chance to get out of their predicament! Wouldn't they have hope in their lives!"

Shiyi was attracted by the light of hope in Master Manzhu's eyes, so hopeful Master Manzhu seemed to be shining all over his body!

He didn't want to break her dream, but he didn't want to see the disappointment on her face after seeing the cruel reality——

"But Master Manzhu, hope is indeed a good medicine to save the world and the living, because it can motivate people to be positive! But when conditions do not allow, hope becomes a poisonous wine for them. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the deeper the despair after that..."

Shiyi continued, "On the contrary, those who are submissive live better! What's more, the largest academy in the country is Zheng Gong Academy founded by Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Gong Academy is only available in the most prosperous states and counties in the country. have!"

Manzhu sighed in disappointment, "There are so few! Then what are the requirements to enter the academy? Did you pass the examination?"

"Master Manzhu, I think it's better for you not to know!" He really couldn't bear to let her down again!

"No! Shiyi, I want to know!" Manzhu insisted, "Education is a major issue related to the quality of the nation and the future of the country! Tell me, I want to hear it!"

Shiyi is helpless, it seems that Master Manzhu will not give up until he finishes talking today!He had no choice but to continue, "There is an assessment, but it is not the assessment based on grades as you imagined, Master Manzhu, but the assessment of family background! Generally speaking, one must have a prominent family background to enter Zhenggong Academy, so Only the children of high-ranking officials and nobles can be admitted to the hospital for further study, because only they can pay the high art training, which is what you call tuition!"

"How could this happen!" Man Zhu was stunned, she never knew Zheng Gong Academy was such a philistine!This is so different from the Zheng Gong Academy she knew!There was a big gap in her heart, "I don't understand, could it be Mr. Zheng..."

Manzhu didn't say what she said after that, but Shiyi understood what she meant——

"He did this as a last resort! He also used his status as a tutor to appeal to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to reform education, requesting the imperial court to allocate funds to build academies in famous places across the country..."

"Then what happened next?" Manzhu asked hastily!

"Later..." Shiyi glanced at Manzhu worriedly, "Later Longyan was furious and sent him to death row!"

Manzhu's eyes were round and round, and she was so shameless that she couldn't believe it! "Death row?! Then what happened?"
