Zhu Youyi's school examination for his two children ended with Zhu San's victory.

In the end, Zhu Youyi could only give Zhu Houcong a simple recitation question. Even so, Zhu Houcong still struggled to recite it. It was obvious that he was overshadowed by his sister's sharpness, and he became a little unconfident.

After Zhu San and Zhu Houcong left the study, Zhu Youqiao raised his head and looked at Yuan Zonggao, wanting Yuan Zonggao to explain what happened.

Yuan Zonggao said: "Since Zhu Hao went to study in the palace, Professor Sui has been taking care of the prince's studies and rarely goes to the West Academy to teach. Now it seems that in some aspects... he is still unable to do what he wants."

He was actually in a dilemma. As the chief historian of the palace, he was usually responsible for the selection of tutors in the palace. Sui Gongyan had always had high hopes after entering the palace. Who would have thought that something like this happened now, and he was almost slapped in the face. "pop" sound.

Zhu Yougao had a worried look on his eyebrows: "How about Zhu Hao's talent?"

Yuan Zonggao said: "He is talented and can be cultivated, and the person who enlightened him is probably Tang Yin. I will go to Sui for confirmation next time."

"No need."

Zhu Youqian looked a little disappointed and said, "It's really time to change teachers in the family. The teaching level of Professor Sui... I really can't compliment him. I have noticed it in the past few school entrance examinations. Ruo Anlu is really If there is no good one, I will look for it around Huguang."

King Xing had high hopes for his son, but now he found that the tutor he invited was not as good as a seven-year-old child. How could he bear it?

I have given you enough respect, and you are just fooling me like this?

Yuan Zonggao thought for a while: "Ask another teacher. The biggest problem is that I am afraid of getting involved in Jin Yiwei's secret work... This matter should be discussed in the long term."

"Don't delay this indefinitely."

Zhu Youqi stood up and left, saying, "Since Zhu Hao can save the prince from the fire, it shows that he is loyal and loyal, so there is no need to be too careful... Since this boy is talented in learning, let him study with the prince and interact with each other." Influence, mutual promotion... Yuan Changshi, you can make arrangements together and report the results later."

…

…

Yuan Zonggao was in a bad mood.

It seems that King Xing had some objections to Sui Gongyan, so why not have some objections to him?

The previous arrangements seemed reasonable, but in fact there were major deviations. Especially in his attitude towards Zhu Hao, Yuan Zonggao felt that he had made a mistake.

Yuan Zonggao found Sui Gongyan and asked him about Zhu Houcong's studies.

Sui Gongyan is a bit inexplicable.

"Yuan Changshi, could it be that I have done something wrong in teaching the prince?"

From Sui Gongyan's point of view, he just taught Zhu Houcong step by step. As for not teaching Zhu San and Zhu Hao, it was also arranged by you, Yuan Zonggao. Now you meet me alone and assume a condescending posture. Are the rumors from outside true? The palace really wants to drive me away?

Yuan Zonggao said: "Gongyan, I am fully convinced of your talent and learning, otherwise I would not ask you to teach the prince. How much do you... know about Zhu Hao?"

The twists and turns of these words made Sui Gongyan confused for a moment.

My talent and learning are worthy of recognition, what does it have to do with Zhu Hao?

"Zhu Hao... should be Tang Bohu's disciple, at least that's how Tang Bohu introduced him. When he went to Jiangxi, he detoured to Anlu and stayed for a few days..."

Sui Gongyan had nothing to hide in this matter and told the truth.

After Yuan Zonggao confirmed what he was thinking, he couldn't help but sigh, "The disciples taught by others are better than you. Don't you know that you have something worthy of review?"

"It's okay, teach the prince well. If possible, teach it together with the "Collected Commentary on the Four Books". You can't know what is happening and why... Okay, you can go back first."

Yuan Zonggao was already over sixty years old, older than Sui Gongyan, and he was a Jinshi. He had a long history in the palace, and his knowledge and status were far superior to Sui Gongyan. Even if he had opinions in his heart, Sui Gongyan still did not dare to raise them in front of Yuan Zonggao. After bowing respectfully,

Resign.

…

…

Inside the school courtyard.

Zhu Hao and Jinghong sat around a table by the window and played chess. No one was going to care about their schoolwork anyway, so it was easy to have fun and educate.

Jinghong brought a Go game to his home this time just to show that he was better than Zhu Hao in some aspects, but in the end he found that... he was no match for Zhu Hao even in playing chess.

"I'm back!"

Zhu San rushed into the room happily, startling Lu Bing who was about to fall asleep with his head propped up on his side.

Lu Bing couldn't understand how to play chess and was bored sitting there, so he imitated Zhu Hao and slept in class.

Jinghong was distracted, thinking about his next move, but Zhu Hao didn't take it too seriously. He raised his head and looked at Zhu San, who looked excited, and asked: "Why did you come to the classroom when it was almost sunset? One more time?"

School is about to end...what happened?"

Zhu San said happily: "You may not believe it, but my father summoned me just now... and my fourth grader went to take the exam together. Guess what? I answered all the questions, and my father was very impressed with me!"

When they encounter something they are proud of, children are usually eager to find someone to share it with and cannot keep secrets at all.

The person she wanted to tell the most was Zhu Hao, because it was Zhu Hao who showed her face in front of her father and Mr. Yuan today.

Hearing this, Jinghong looked sideways and asked, "Who is Xiaosi?"

Seeing Zhu San looking at him eagerly and ignoring Jinghong at all, Zhu Hao smiled slightly: "Congratulations then."

"Hey Zhu Hao, don't you want to know what questions my father asked? Hehe, those questions are exactly the same as what you told us on the blackboard... Are you the roundworm in my father's belly? What questions did he ask?

Everyone knows?" Zhu San now regarded Zhu Hao as a god.

Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao in surprise.

Zhu Hao can actually predict what question King Xing will ask?

What is this ability?

Zhu Hao casually picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard: "I just followed Professor Sui's teaching progress and went a little deeper. Is that called a puzzle? It happened that this is what your father took the exam.

Just because you did better than your younger brother who memorized some of the content, it doesn't mean that your future academic attainments will be superior to his."

Zhu San looked proud: "I don't care about the future, as long as I am better than him this time... Mr. Sui always teaches him but not me. I think you are better than Mr. Sui if you teach us."

…

…

Zhu Hao did not teach any more children this afternoon.

Being better taught than Sui Gongyan was not a good thing at the moment. He knew Sui Gongyan's petty temperament, so how could he not come and target him after learning the truth?

You are a teacher and you are qualified to teach yourself a lesson, so why bother yourself?

However, Sui Gongyan never came.

After school, Zhu Hao, Jinghong and Lu Bing returned to the West Foreign Courtyard. Jinghong looked unhappy while holding the chessboard.

As a proud man, he was inferior to Zhu Hao in everything, which seriously affected his self-confidence.

At this moment, Lu Song brought someone over and walked quickly to Zhu Hao, "I have arranged a new residence for you. It is in the academy courtyard. You can move there when the renovation is completed!"

Jinghong looked sad.

It was hard to adapt to life here, and I had to move.

This is not good news for Zhu Hao. Although the Academy is not technically the inner courtyard of the palace, there is another access control between it and the outer courtyard. It will be more difficult to skip school in the future... Thinking of truancy, Zhu Hao came back this time

It's been three days and I haven't gone out to see how the preparations for Yu San's bookstore are going.

After returning from dinner, Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Jinghong, I am going out of the palace tonight, do you dare to go out with me?"

"ah?"

Jinghong is obviously a good boy who obeys the rules and has never thought about running away at night.

Zhu Hao said: "If you don't want to go, you can stay in the room and study, and I will go by myself."

Jinghong thought about it, from talent to skill, Zhu Hao was inferior to him in every aspect. If he couldn't even compare with courage... then he might as well just crash to death.

"I go!"

Jinghong expressed his position.

…

…

The sky is getting dark gradually, and the days are obviously getting shorter after autumn.

Zhu Hao took Jinghong out of the courtyard together. Jinghong cautiously followed Zhu Hao and asked in a low voice: "What should I do if someone finds me?"

Zhu Hao curled his lips and said: "We are not going into the inner courtyard of the palace, and we are not going to offend the nobles in the palace. Why do you think these people have nothing to do and ask us why we left the palace?"

That's what they say, but after all, they are required to live in the palace.

When we arrived in front of the west gate of the palace, there were guards guarding the gate and the gate was closed.

"what!"

The guards at the west gate are also under Lu Song. One of them, Zhu Hao, heard Lu Song call him "Old Lian", but he didn't know his specific name.

Zhu Hao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "General Lian, my mother is sick and I want to go out and take a look."

When a guard is called "general", he does not feel proud, but rather a little ashamed. He feels that Zhu Hao is offending him. After all, the three companions guarding the door next to him are already snickering.

"By the way, Lu Dianzhan seems to have said that we can go out freely, right?" Zhu Hao asked again, "There is some wine money here, why don't you guys use it to have a drink?"

Zhu Hao actually took out ten coins.
