Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 161 The Lucky Master Chen

This is considered the back door of the academy, right next to the dozens of acres of land owned by Shu Xiaoxiao. Students in the academy are not allowed to enter or leave. It was only because Shu Xiaoxiao became familiar with the gatekeeper when she was farming before, and with her relationship with the dean and Yun Qinghan, she was considered a person who could enter and leave the academy by scanning her face.

Su Shiche and Qian Jinbao were suddenly able to go to the back mountain, and they were quite excited. They were usually not allowed to come in and out, and they had no time to come during the holidays. This suddenly gave them a chance to leave the academy...

Hmm.....The air is so fresh...

Fortunately, not long after they came out, they saw Shu Xiaoxiao rushing back, so the group of people went back home.

Huo Feng said that he brought her some food and would cook it deliciously tomorrow, so she should go and eat it on time.

Hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Shu Xiaoxiao immediately became happy and sent Huo Feng out with a smile on her face.

"e=(′o｀*))) Well, if it wasn't winter, maybe we could have hunted a few prey when we came out. This time we finally got out, but found nothing. Xiaoxiao, you should go out earlier next time, so that we can take the opportunity to hunt some prey when we look for you." Su Shiche suggested seriously.

The door to the back mountain, except Ye Xiao, everyone else must have the master's approval. Well, so envious, he also wants to go hunting in the back mountain.

He didn't dare to eat Prince Yun's meal, but if he had hunted two rabbits or two chickens just now, it would have improved the food. Unfortunately, they found Ye Xiao as soon as they went out.

"What's the pity? There will surely be a lot of delicious food tomorrow. I will bring some back for you, isn't it the same thing? What's more, we have a day off the day after tomorrow. There won't be anything delicious to eat when we go back. What's there to be pity about?" Shu Xiaoxiao didn't care. She knew that there would be a real feast when she went back. She would have whatever she wanted to eat.

"e=(′o｀*)))Hey, have you found out about Master Chen's matter?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked.

"If I take action, everything will be clear." Su Shiche immediately began excitedly.

What can we say about Master Chen? He is a bit lucky... not blessed. He is just an ordinary Kyoto citizen. Although in Kyoto, a brick falling down can hit three dignitaries, but Master Chen, a Kyoto citizen, is just an ordinary Kyoto citizen.

How ordinary was he? His family was a small trader in Kyoto. Their life was not as good as the rich but better than the poor. Although the children in the family also studied, they were not good at studying. At best, they were poor scholars. No one in the family was an official. Who would have thought that Mr. Chen, who was good at studying, would suddenly appear.

From being a student to a scholar, and then to a juren and jinshi, Mr. Chen's grades were not very outstanding each time, but he was always on the list. His family did not take his status as a student and a scholar very seriously at the beginning. Outside Kyoto, a scholar might be quite rare, but in Kyoto, a scholar might be the lowest threshold of academic qualifications.

No one in his family had any hope for the subsequent exams, but after the exams, Master Chen was still on the list. To be honest, Master Chen's family felt like they had been lucky, because Master Chen's grades in both the academy and the imperial examinations, although not bad, were not outstanding either. Master Chen said that he was the kind of person who studied well, so it was normal for him to pass the exams, and it was also normal for him not to pass.

Considering that there were so many outstanding students taking the imperial examination, no one had high hopes for Master Chen, but he actually passed.

Before the family members could recover from the loss, an even bigger pie came crashing down upon them. Master Chen attended a banquet and caught the eye of the Marquis, who wanted to marry his daughter to him directly. More importantly, the Marquis's daughter was also willing.

Now a bigger pie has fallen upon them. Their son has become a Jinshi. Although it is a bit of a high-marriage, the Marquis's Mansion has agreed, so they have no reason to refuse, right?

However, according to the gossip Su Shiche had heard, the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion was somehow plotted against and ended up deciding to marry Master Chen. But no matter what, it was definitely a downgrade for the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion to marry him.

Fortunately, Master Chen was a man of tact. After the marriage was settled, he promised Yue's family directly that they would be together for the rest of their lives. It can be said that he directly won the heart of most of the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion.

After getting married, because of this promise, the couple was very sweet. In less than a year, good news came out. The first child was a big fat boy, and the eldest grandson was born. The relationship between the two families became even closer, and the marquis also opened his heart to his son-in-law.

Master Chen's personality is really not suitable for being an official. He is too rigid, and when he communicates with others, he always fails to understand what they are trying to say. But in officialdom, some things are indeed difficult to say too clearly, and this is when your understanding depends.

It just so happens that Master Chen's understanding in this regard is really unsatisfactory. If he hadn't been watching from behind, Master Chen would have been cheated countless times. But after such a long time, he saw that Master Chen not only failed to adapt but also became sub-bored with officialdom, so he suggested that his son-in-law quit officialdom. The son-in-law was doing more harm than good in this officialdom, and he felt it was better to get out of it as soon as possible.

Although it was not long, Master Chen was indeed tired of the officialdom. He found that his superiors and colleagues could sometimes have eight meanings in one sentence. He really didn't understand why it was so complicated. Couldn't it be simpler? What's wrong with saying it directly?

If it weren't for the encouragement from his wife and family, he would have wanted to resign long ago. Now that his father-in-law brought it up, he couldn't ask for more. He said directly that he had considered it. After years of hard study, being able to serve as an official in the court was a dream come true. Now he had no regrets.

But he didn't want to waste the results of his hard study, so he thought about becoming a teacher in an academy. Although he might not have many students all over the world, if he could teach a few useful people for the court and the people, it would not be a waste of his abilities.

The Marquis twitched his lips. He didn't expect that his son-in-law had already made up his mind. Even if he didn't mention it, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Isn't this a good plan for himself?

Mr. Chen's parents knew that their son and in-laws were more capable than themselves, so they would never take advantage of their seniority or give orders recklessly. When their son said he wanted to resign, they only asked one question: Do your wife and father-in-law know?

After getting a positive answer, they simply told him to do whatever he wanted. Anyway, their current wealthy life was brought by their son, and they didn't have any good ideas, so they just listened to their son.

After knowing this situation, the Marquis cut the Gordian knot immediately. In less than a month, Master Chen reported to the "Yuren Academy" and became a glorious teacher of the "Yuren Academy".

Moreover, after Master Chen came to the academy, he felt like a fish in water and made some real achievements. The students he taught were at least very knowledgeable, and several of them performed brilliantly in the imperial examinations.

However, the person he taught most successfully was his own child. He knew his own temperament very well and he only dared to teach his son knowledge and how to be convenient in dealing with people. Unless his son was also prepared to become a teacher in the future, there was nothing he could teach.

Therefore, he would send his son to his father-in-law's house for education during his days off, so that he would be influenced by him from a young age and would not be like him, helpless in officialdom.

With the cooperation of the father-in-law and the son-in-law, Master Chen's son surpassed his father. Not only was he able to perform with ease in the examination hall, he was also able to handle official affairs with ease.

The grandfather and grandson cooperated seamlessly in officialdom and did a lot of practical work. They were highly valued by the emperor, and the future of the two families was visibly bright.

The old marquis was happy whenever he talked about his grandson. He told everyone that he had good vision and chose a good son-in-law for his daughter, which is why he had such a sensible grandson.

After Master Chen's son became successful, he only needed to focus on managing the academy and left all the household chores to his son. He lived a very leisurely and comfortable life.

While others rely on their parents for support, he can rely on his children, so he is a blessed man!

Master Chen has fulfilled his promise to his wife over the years: a lifelong couple. In addition to their son, the couple also has a little daughter, who is treated like a treasure at home. I heard that she is almost old enough to get engaged. That senior brother wanted to "accidentally meet" Miss Chen. Apart from taking revenge on Master Chen, he probably wanted to curry favor with his brother-in-law and the Marquis' Mansion.

"Shameless villain, we must protect Miss Chen and stop the despicable behavior of that unknown person." Su Shiche said firmly.
