Chapter 324 Broken Leg
"Ask Mr. Cheng to take us there tomorrow. Niu Niu and the others will understand some of the things that happen in those wealthy families."
Mu Lao Er said, "Okay, I'll ask Mr. Cheng to help me tomorrow."
This concerns the lives of the whole family, so even if it means troubling Mr. Cheng again, he is the only one who can do it.
The next day, early in the morning.
Everyone in the Mu family had already had breakfast and was standing at the gate to see off Mu Pingping and the other children.
"Pingping, you must be obedient when you arrive at the Imperial College, okay?" Old Man Mu didn't know what to say, so he could only give such advice.
"Grandpa, I'm here. I will protect my brothers." Baby Mu raised his little paws, his face full of seriousness.
Father Mu pinched her face and smiled helplessly, "If Mr. Cheng hadn't sent someone to tell me that he wanted to take you to the Imperial College, I really wouldn't want you to go."
"Just follow Mr. Cheng and the brothers obediently, okay?"
Mu Baobao agreed obediently, "Don't worry, uncle is here."
How could Father Mu not be worried? That was the Imperial College where all the powerful and influential people gathered.
If it weren't for his children's future, he would not want them to go to the Imperial College.
It would be great to go to school in the village, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
"Go, get to the Imperial College as soon as possible, and don't keep Mr. Cheng waiting for too long."
"Master, we're leaving first, don't worry." Mu Pingping held his sister and got on the carriage beside him.
Mu Niuniu and other children also got on the carriage.
The carriage was left here by Zheng Xingguang, specifically for the Mu family.
Mu Laodie and others watched the children leave and stood there until they could no longer see them.
"I don't know what will happen. I'm really worried."
"There's no point in worrying about it. We might as well do our job properly and not burden the children."
"Dad, my third brother and I are going to the street to buy seeds." Mu Laoer said, "Let's see where we can do business."
Father Mu waved his hand and warned, "You two brothers, be careful."
"Have you brought enough silver?"
Mu Laoer said, "We have brought enough. Mother gave us some silver this morning."
Mu Laodi said, "Okay, go buy some seeds."
After Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San left, Mu Lao Di and the others returned to the house and did what they had to do.
……
At the gate of the Imperial College.
"Uncle!" Mu Baobao jumped off the carriage and ran to Cheng Zishi.
"Wow, uncle looks great today!"
Cheng Zishi was wearing a light blue brocade robe today, and he looked as gentle as jade. He looked like a real nobleman.
Mu Pingping and other children bowed to Cheng Zi politely.
Cheng Zishi picked up Mu Baobao with one hand and jokingly said, "You mean, uncle wasn't good-looking before?"
Mu Baobao said honestly, "No, uncle looked good before, and he looks even better today."
"Do I look good today?" Rong Jing appeared from nowhere and came in front of Mu Baobao.
Today, Rong Jing is no longer dressed up, she looks very elegant and exudes a sense of nobility.
Mu Baobao hummed, "Uncles are still more handsome."
"Uncle, you should learn more from me. I am so handsome."
Rong Jing gritted his teeth at Cheng Zishi and said, "Don't be so complacent. When the baby grows up, he will know that I am prettier than you."
Cheng Zishi raised the corner of his eye and said with a half-smile, "I think there's something wrong with your eyes."
He walked in holding the wooden baby.
After all, they were at the gate of the Imperial College, so Rong Jing snorted lightly and did not really make a fuss.
"Did you know that Hu Ying's legs were broken by his father?"
He bumped Cheng Zishi with his shoulder and said with a smile.
Cheng Zishi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Mu Baobao pricked up his ears to listen to gossip.
Rong Jing sneered, "The Hu family's background is average. They've been playing fence-sitters for years, relying on this prince and that prince, and embezzling money from the national treasury. Hu Ying has been quite arrogant and domineering in recent years."
"Now, with something like this happening, he has been abandoned by the Hu family."
If he were to say, Hu Ying deserved it.
Hu Ying knew very well that the money was from the national treasury, yet he dared to use it so ostentatiously and even made outrageous remarks outside.
Cheng Zishi signaled Mu Pingping and other children to hurry up and follow. He then said to Rong Jing, "Even without me, the Hu family is almost done."
"After all, this is the situation."
Rong Jing nodded in understanding, "My family said the same thing. Even without you, the Hu family would be almost done."
It’s not that the emperor doesn’t know what the Hu family has done, but he wants to use the Hu family to see who is taking advantage of the situation so that he can catch them all in one fell swoop.
In the following period of time, there will inevitably be families that will be liquidated by the emperor.
Cheng Zishi reminded him, "You should be more careful recently, in case someone uses this incident to plot against your family."
Rong Jing frowned, "My father has the same concerns and is already making arrangements."
Cheng Zishi handed his business card to the doorman.
After looking at it, the doorman respectfully returned the business card to him and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Cheng Siye, please come in. The chief priest is waiting for you."
Cheng Zishi nodded and walked in with the business card.
He and Rongjing didn't talk about this anymore.
Mu Baobao lay on Cheng Zishi's shoulder, looking here and there, curious about everything in the Imperial College.
What a high staircase.
What a beautiful scenery.
"Uncle, uncle, there are flowers over there, a lot of flowers." She pointed to a patch of flowers not far away.
Cheng Zishi looked in the direction she pointed and said, "Baby, that's a peony."
"They are different varieties of peonies."
Over there, patches of peonies are swaying in the wind, like a beauty smiling, which is particularly beautiful.
It was the first time Mubaobao heard about peonies. He looked at them a few more times and said, "Uncle, peonies are so beautiful."
"Uncle, there are flowers and bamboo over there..."
Cheng Zishi was very patient and introduced them to her one by one.
Black bamboo, crabapple blossoms, Clivia...
Most of the flowers and plants in the Imperial College are rare varieties, and many of them are rare among rare varieties. Very few of them cannot be seen outside.
Mu Baobao was dazzled by the sight. There were so many flowers that she couldn't tell them apart.
The group came to where the chief priest lived.
The chief priest was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
He was a kind old man with gray hair but a black beard.
"Zishi is here." He smiled kindly.
Cheng Zishi put down the wooden baby and bowed respectfully to the chief priest. "Teacher, it's been a long time."
When he was a child, he went to school at the Imperial College. His teacher, who was not yet a chief academic officer, taught him.
The chief priest patted his shoulder, his smile growing a little wider. "You've grown a lot stronger. I can see you're doing well."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
"Hello, Grandpa." Mu Baobao took his brothers and bowed to the chief priest.
Grandma said, be polite.
The chief priest also has grandchildren, but they are not this young.
"Hey, whose little girl is this? She's so cute."
He took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Baobao, "Here, this is a gift from grandpa."
Mu Baobao looked at Cheng Zishi.
