Chapter 406: Little Fatties Are Here, Ah Wei Teaching His Disciples (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In just two months of school, he had become the first in class. Other than Zhao Heng, he was the second student to cause a stir in the Directorate. Although Class B of the Guangwen Hall was the worst class in the Directorate, Yu Song’s improvement was godly. Someone quickly dug out Yu Song’s background.
A country bumpkin from Lotus Flower Village!
Yan Jiuchao’s brother-in-law!
Zhao Heng’s former brother-in-law!
Uh…
Everyone’s focus suddenly changed. From Yu Song who had only studied for a few days and becoming first, to Yu Song’s sister being Scholar Zhao’s fiancée once.
“Really? Scholar Zhao and the Princely Heir Consort?”
“How is it not true? If you don’t believe me, go and ask around. Is the Princely Heir Consort from Lotus Flower Village? Wasn’t Zhao Heng also from Lotus Flower Village in the past?”
“Even if it’s a village… it doesn’t mean that they’re engaged?”
“The news has spread throughout the Directorate. You’re the only one who’s still suspicious!”
When Yu Song went to the canteen to eat, he could not help but hear a group of people discussing. Those people were still talking non-stop. It was not until a student who knew Yu Song patted their shoulders and gave them a look that they fell silent as if nothing had happened.
Yu Song’s roommate, Wang Dacai, said, “Ignore them. This group of people has nothing to do. I don’t believe your sister and Zhao Heng are engaged.”
“They did,” Yu Song said.
Wang Dacai was stunned. “Uh…”
Yu Song said seriously, “But Zhao Heng isn’t worthy of Sister. Our family broke off the engagement.”
“But they said…” Wang Dacai was halfway through his sentence when his other roommate, Li Yuanbao, interrupted him.
Li Yuanbao winked at him. Idiot! How could he say that? Wang Dacai shut his mouth resentfully.
Yu Song said coldly, “Are they saying that my sister’s morals are lacking, so Scholar Zhao broke off my sister’s engagement?”
Wang Dacai scratched his head. “Aiya, this, don’t take it to heart…”
It was said that everything was inferior, but studying was superior. It was only when Yu Song came to the Directorate that he knew how highly this group of scholars thought highly of themselves. They always looked like they were not afraid of anything, did not like money, and did not fear power. At first, Yu Song admired them from the bottom of his heart. After interacting with them for a long time, he could also see some tricks. They were just sour grapes. They admired Zhao Heng because he had his achievements due to his studies, and they were all studying. It was the easiest to catch up to Zhao Heng on this point. Could they change their background if they admired Yu Song who had family connections? Could they have a sister like Yu Wan? Could they have an uncle like Yu Shaoqing? Could they let His Majesty personally reward them with a mine?!
“Yu Song, don’t be angry anymore,” Li Yuanbao advised him.
“I won’t,” Yu Song said. Ever since he saw his sister apologize to the teacher humbly, he secretly swore not to cause her trouble again. Everyone was biased towards Zhao Heng because Zhao Heng was the first in the Directorate. When he was no longer the first, let’s see who would still side with him!
Yu Song left with his bowl.
“What’s with this kid’s expression?” Li Yuanbao asked in confusion.
Wang Dacai scratched his head. “I don’t know. I just feel that his aura suddenly became so powerful…”
Yu Song clenched his fists. He wanted to surpass Zhao Heng. If he couldn’t do it in a day, he would do it in a month. If he couldn’t do it in a month, he would do it in a year, year after year. He would keep taking the exam. One day, he would ruthlessly step Zhao Heng, that bastard, into the mud!
On the fifth of July, the Directorate gave two days of high-temperature leave. Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao brought him back to Lotus Flower Village.
On the first day Yu Song’s results came out, Yu Wan sent Jiang Hai back to the village with good news. Aunt was so excited that she could not sleep all night. The usually stingy her killed chickens and ducks for the first time and gave the workshop and the miners a good meal.
“Yo, Ah Xiang is also here to wash clothes.” Early in the morning, Aunt Zhang squatted beside the ancient well. As she beat her clothes with a stick, she greeted Aunt, who was walking over with a wooden basin.
It was actually not early anymore. The good seats had been occupied. Aunt usually did not come so late.
“Here, here.” Aunt Zhang piled a small basin in the big basin and moved a place for Aunt.
Aunt squat down.
Aunt Zhang asked her, “Why are you so late today?”
“I didn’t sleep well. I woke up late,” Aunt said.
Aunt Zhang teased her. “What’s wrong?”
Aunt rolled her eyes. “Little Song took the exam.”
