Chapter 90: Convention
After a while, Li Ancai found his voice, “Do you want to be a teacher for the imperial grandfather?”
Gu Jingyun looked at him silently, the prince felt that his son was too stupid and couldn’t bear to look directly: “He wants to be your teacher.”
“How can this work, I’m older than you.” Li An objected without thinking.
“Generation has nothing to do with age.”
Li An opened his mouth and said, “Yes, but how do you know that I will definitely become emperor?”
“No guarantee, but I am a descendant of the Qin family.”
Li An pursed his lips.
Gu Jingyun is a descendant of the Qin family. He was born tied to the Prince’s Mansion. If they win, he will naturally become the emperor’s teacher. If they lose, he will not be able to go into office even if he doesn’t die. Naturally, he has no future. Word.
Everything is false.
But he still didn’t want Gu Jingyun to be his teacher. The kid was too young to have any, and he always regarded him as his younger brother.
Gu Jingyun said with a smile: “Yun didn’t want Taisun to take me as his teacher now, but I just hope that Taisun can listen to my lectures when I get into the top three and take up a post in the Hanlin Academy.”
“If you can give lectures to the prince and the grandson, you can teach at least a fourth-rank Hanlin attendant. Even if you pass the exam, you can only enter the Hanlin as a sixth-rank Hanlin editor. It will take at least six years to get to fourth-rank. Your father was the third in high school. , because of his outstanding appearance, he was promoted to the sixth-grade editor by the emperor, but in the past sixteen years, he has only risen one level.” The prince looked at him with a smile and asked, “Where did your confidence come from to be promoted to rank so early? What about the waiter?”
“It’s up to people,” Gu Jingyun said lightly: “As long as the grandson is willing to worship me as a teacher. It’s not just about the relationship between the monarch, ministers, teachers and students with the grandson.”
That is for Li An to worship tea and worship the teacher.
Li An glared at him.
Prince asked: “In order to be an imperial teacher?”
“I need this identity.” Gu Jingyun sighed: “Being an official is entangled in trivial matters, working hard for petty profits, far less interesting than teaching and educating people, my ambition is to educate the people, but I can do it alone to the end. It’s limited, and then I have to organize some people. With the identity of the emperor, it will be more convenient for me to do anything.”
Teacher is one of the most admired professions in the world, and the ultimate teacher is the emperor.
After spending more than 20 days with Li An and others day and night, Gu Jingyun discovered another important problem – he has no reverence for Li An!
Correctly speaking – he has no reverence for imperial power! Even if he knew that the person opposite him controlled his own life and death, he still couldn’t fear him and respect him because of this.
This is not a good thing. As a minister, how can you not respect the monarch?
Li An treats Wei Yingjie and others as approachable, and Li Xian Corporal and Wei Yingjie treat Li An normally on weekdays, but looking at the details, you can see the honor and inferiority.
They had the same food and lodging on the way to escape, but when eating, whether in the inn or in the wild, they would always wait for Li An to start before they would eat; when staying, they would always be the first to help Li An make the bed before it was their turn. Their own; even walking, whether they are riding a horse, riding a car, or walking, the three of them are always used to taking half a step back from Li An.
This half-step that was always maintained even when fleeing was the distance between Gu Jingyun and them.
Gu Jingyun couldn’t do this. Even when he observed and realized the superiority and inferiority, he still acted according to his own will.
He would wonder if Baolu would be exhausted if he continued to drive, but he would not think about whether Li An, who is the best of the best, would be overwhelmed.
He will worry that he and Baolu always eat dry food, which is not good for the stomach, but he will not worry about Li An’s body because of this.
When the assassin came, he first thought about how not to be a burden and escaped with Bao Lu, and then he thought about what would happen to their plan if Li An died, but they would not fight to keep Li An like Wei Yingjie and the others. …
He does not fear imperial power, nor does he respect it!
This is a taboo for officials.
Gu Jingyun thought that unless he wanted to be a courtier with power in the world or rebelled directly, he would not be a minister.
For the safety of themselves and their families, and for the safety of the Li Dynasty, they should not be monarchs and ministers, but try to be teachers and students.
As long as he has this reputation, he will not interfere with Li An.
With the reputation of the emperor, he can protect himself and Baolu, and protect the people they care about.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell the prince and Li An these words. He feels that life is precious and he has not lived enough.
The prince and Li An understood, this kid doesn’t want to be an official, he just wants to be a teacher and teach and educate people. If it wasn’t for his uncle’s vindication, he might not even want to participate in the imperial examinations (that’s weird).
Maybe he wanted to become an official and was full of ambitions, but at this time, because he knew that Qin Xinfang would be rescued after they succeeded, the child put down his burden and began to think about his future.
He wanted to teach and educate people better by virtue of his identity as an imperial teacher.
Education of the people or something, the prince and Li An think this child is a good second grader.
But seeing his resolute face, the prince, who has deep experience in educating children, knew that he couldn’t be tough on him at this time, it would only be counterproductive.
There is no way, his son was a middle schooler when he was young.
So the prince clapped his hand with a smile on his face and said, “If you want to be Taisun’s teacher, it’s not enough to be in the top three, you have to be the champion like your uncle.”
Li An was stunned, turned his head to look at his father with a “click”, and shouted, “Dad, how can you agree, he is only one year older than Han’er!” He even became a teacher for him!
Gu Jingyun pondered for a moment and then nodded, “It’s a deal, if I can pass the exam, His Highness will ask Taisun to worship me as a teacher.”
As for Ang Lee’s opinion, the two ignored it.
Before leaving, Gu Jingyun even stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: “Great grandson nephew, although I am young, I am a generation higher than you.”
Li Baolu stood in the back and nodded wildly, “Good nephew, don’t be sad, my uncle is also younger than His Royal Highness, didn’t he also become His Highness’s teacher?”
But it’s not that much worse. Mr. Qin is three years younger than his father, so he can barely be considered his peers, okay?
Gu Jingyun is eight years younger than him, eight years!
Even though Li An was sad and angry, he still remembered asking someone to carry several pots of flowers out to Li Baolu.
Li Baolu was startled, scratched his head and said, “Just pick me some jars, how can I send potted plants?”
The corner of the mouth of the person holding the flower twitched and explained: “Girl, these are all precious flower species, which were carefully cultivated by the gardeners in the house.” These flowers are hard to find, and it is too late to take care of them when they bloom. , who will take off the bottle?
Gu Jingyun lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at it, and said indifferently: “I’ll continue it for you, and put it back in the room to smoke the fragrance of flowers.”
Li Baolu nodded, then pointed at the carriageway: “Put it on.”
The servant twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words.
Li An sent a lot of potted plants. There are two pots of peonies. The flowering period has passed, and they are in full bloom at this time. As long as they are well cared for, they will bloom next year.
There are also three pots of chrysanthemums, all in full bloom at this time, one is green, one is golden, and the other is yellow to red.
In addition, there is a pot of plums and a pot of begonia, and the begonia is also in full bloom at this time.
The Prince’s Mansion specially sent a carriage to carry potted plants for them. When the pot of yellow-to-red chrysanthemum was holding Gu Jingyun’s carriage, he was stopped by him. After folding it, he turned around and stuck it on Li Baolu’s head. He leaned back and admired it for a while, then said, “Yes, I’ll show you another hairpin when I look back.”
Li Baolu held a flower arrangement that was half the size of her head: “As long as you don’t bring me green ones.”
The servants holding the flowers are bleeding in their hearts. There are only four pots in this flower house, which is a variant cultivated by the gardener.
Those who receive flowers don’t know how to cherish.
It is better to cut the flowers when they are in full bloom, but this chrysanthemum was picked before it was fully opened, which is simply a waste of time.
Gu Jingyun ignored the faces of the people, turned his head and was about to tell the driver to leave, when he saw Li An who had something to leave in the middle of the road and came in a hurry with a box in hand.
Li An stood beside the car, handed the box in from the car window, and said, “This is bird’s nest. I often hear Miss Li say that your spleen and stomach are weak, and bird’s nest nourishes your stomach. You can take it back sooner or later and eat it for a long time. Bring it back, and I’ll send it to you when I’m done eating.”
Li An feels that this child is also pitiful. Like his father’s family, he can’t go back to his family. His uncle’s family was raided and exiled, and he didn’t have much money…
fled all the way, but Li An often heard Li Baolu thinking about saving money and making money.
Gu Jingyun was not pretentious, took the box directly, nodded slightly to him, and lowered the curtain.
Seeing this, the servant on the side immediately restrained the expression on his face, respectfully and quickly and effectively moved the potted plants to the car. After arriving at the place, he not only helped to arrange the potted plants, but also carefully told Li Baolu how to take care of them. Incredibly caring.
Li Baolu wrote them down one by one, turned around and handed all these flowers to Gu Jingyun, “I’ve raised them all for you, you can cultivate them as you want.”
Gu Jingyun raised the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.
Aunt and mother both love to grow flowers and grass, but there are no rare species in Qiongzhou, and they can’t buy them even if they have them.
Therefore, the flowers and plants raised by the Qin family are all ordinary, and Li Baolu also loves to grow flowers, but her love is more manifested in watering the flowers, and then admiring the beauty of the flowers when they bloom.
On the contrary, Gu Jingyun had studied flower art with Aunt Qin for a period of time in order to cultivate himself.
But Gu Jingyun, who had never seen the real thing, also couldn’t recognize their species.
He reached out and touched the branches of the plum tree, and said with a smile, “Okay, after raising this batch, we will ask Taisun for another batch.”
Li Baolu observed a moment of silence for the flowers and trees in the Prince’s Mansion.
Gu Jingyun saw that she turned around to cook, but did not ask him any other questions, so he followed her into the kitchen, “Why didn’t you ask me why I said those words to the prince?”
“Hey, do you want to talk to me, then tell me, I’m listening.”
Gu Jingyun: “…” What should I do if I don’t have a sense of accomplishment?
Seeing him standing blankly, Li Baolu smiled and said, “No matter what you want to do in the future, I will follow you. In fact, I think being a gentleman is better than being an official. I don’t like being an official wife, I like being a teacher. .”
Gu Jingyun was startled for a moment, then smiled lowly, stared at her with radiant eyes, and said softly, “Okay, you will be a teacher.”
Li Baolu washed his hands to cover his eyes, “Foul, you are not allowed to look at others with this look in the future.”
